The Spatial Ability User Who Puts Safety Above All – Chapter 93

Author: Cireng

You Are Already Dead (2)

Ziiiiing.

The moment Spatial Designation was activated, Wang Tao… who had been protected by the Extreme King and Taigong Wang, vanished from that very spot.

“Huh!”

“Gasp!”

Naturally, all the magic users who had been providing extremely close protection right beside Wang Tao were startled and quickly looked around, but Wang Tao was nowhere to be found.

“W-what?”

“What just happened?”

“Where did Chairman Wang go!?”

All of them wore bewildered expressions. In truth, it was a situation that was impossible to believe.

To begin with, Black Mamba’s Spatial Designation ability was something that could never be anticipated until one actually experienced it.

And while they were all standing there in confusion…

Seon Yul was, naturally, having a one-on-one meeting with Wang Tao.

“Y-you… who… who are y-you…?”

Wang Tao was so flustered that he couldn’t even speak properly.

To him, it truly felt like a bolt from the blue.

He had no idea how he had been dragged here.

He didn’t even know who the man standing before him was.

“Wang Tao?”

Seon Yul asked him.

Since Seon Yul was a magic user, he could understand Wang Tao’s words, but Wang Tao, being an ordinary person, could not understand Seon Yul.

“W-who are you!”

“Me? I’m AbsoluteSafetyFirst”

Seon Yul pronounced each word clearly.

Naturally, Wang Tao could not understand what he said. But at least he realized that Seon Yul was speaking Korean.

“Release me immediately! Otherwise, a war between China and Korea will begin, and Korea will be turned into a sea of fire!”

Realizing Seon Yul was Korean, Wang Tao spoke as if threatening him.

“A war… will it really turn out that way? Well, you can’t understand what I’m saying anyway… so there’s no need to talk at length.”

Since conversation couldn’t happen until Wang Tao understood Korean, Seon Yul simply gave up on talking.

Instead, he planned to communicate with Wang Tao in a different way.

“You wait here for a moment.”

Seon Yul left Wang Tao in the designated four-dimensional space that had been created and first returned to Absolute Space.

Then he went outside again, ran a translator, and began writing several questions on paper.

He could have simply eliminated Wang Tao and finished the plan, but after all, Wang Tao was the President of China. It would be a bit of a waste to remove him without obtaining anything.

So Seon Yul began preparing a questionnaire to extract at least some information.

Using this questionnaire together with the ‘Death Spear Forged from Curse,’ he planned to extract high-level information from Wang Tao in a very simple manner.

In the first place, since Wang Tao was just an ordinary person, he couldn’t endure the Death Spear.

Extracting information from him did not seem difficult at all.

Wang Tao eventually died.

After diligently revealing everything he knew, he met his end.

It was an extremely miserable death… one unbefitting the President of China.

Not only that, since the designated space disappeared along with his death, even his body did not remain.

Moreover, because no one knew of his death, he received no mourning or memorial.

It was, quite literally, a futile and insignificant death.

After eliminating Wang Tao, Seon Yul perfectly completed his plan for the second punishment and returned to Korea.

While Seon Yul had already returned to Korea, China was still in chaos.

The disappearance of President Wang Tao.

Even though the Extreme King and Taigong Wang had been guarding him at extremely close range, he vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone bewildered and unable to understand what had happened.

Naturally, a massive search operation was launched throughout China.

Magic users with abilities related to search and detection were dispatched in large numbers to the scene, and nationwide efforts continued to locate President Wang Tao.

But two days passed, then a week, then half a month…

And still, nothing was found.

Magic users specialized in search and detection could not find even the slightest trace, and the nationwide effort to find President Wang Tao achieved no results whatsoever.

In the end, the situation remained the same.

President Wang Tao… missing.

At this point, whispers began circulating within China that President Wang Tao had ultimately been assassinated.

No one knew what method had been used to kill him, but it was becoming impossible not to think that Wang Tao was dead.

Since China could not maintain this situation indefinitely, it eventually officially acknowledged President Wang Tao’s death and began moving to select a new president along with other high-ranking Communist Party officials.

Power, by nature, does not tolerate a vacuum.

When the supreme authority that had been maintained for so long vanished in an instant, countless people began moving to seize the space.

Even magic users… who had previously been somewhat distant from the core of political power, began moving to claim the vacant authority.

The beginning of great chaos.

China changed drastically and chaotically, and as a result, China’s external activities became very quiet.

***

China had never been a country welcomed by other nations.

Therefore, China’s collapse this time was something all countries welcomed with open arms.

In particular, as rumors spread that China had been shattered by a single individual, the ridicule directed at China only intensified.

The rumor even included information about the individual responsible for destroying China.

Surprisingly, that information had leaked from within China itself.

AbsoluteSafetyFirst

According to the rumor, the person who destroyed China was AbsoluteSafetyFirst

Even more shocking was the claim that AbsoluteSafetyFirst had not only destroyed China but had also eliminated the core members of Black Mamba and Darkness, who had previously allied with China.

Because the rumor sounded so absurd, many people initially found it impossible to believe.

But as more and more testimonies appeared, the rumor gradually began turning into accepted truth.

[I’ll tell you the whole truth. For reference, I worked as a core agent in the Intelligence Department of China’s Dimensional Management Bureau and recently escaped China and defected to the United States.]

— First of all, the beginning was when the Dimensional Management Bureau tried to eliminate AbsoluteSafetyFirst But that attempt failed. After some time had passed, AbsoluteSafetyFirst somehow discovered that China had been behind it and launched its first revenge. That was the series of terrorist incidents that occurred in China. The funny thing is that after that, China actually swallowed its enormous pride and sent an SOS to AbsoluteSafetyFirst to barely survive the Gate Rush. If things had ended there, I wouldn’t have needed to escape China. But after that, China joined hands with Black Mamba again and targeted AbsoluteSafetyFirst once more. But that attempt also failed. There’s not even any news about Black Mamba anymore… he might already be dead. And the second revenge that followed was the series of assassinations. All of this is the undeniable truth. Believe it or not, I don’t care. But seriously… don’t mess with AbsoluteSafetyFirst. You’ll be completely screwed.

If this post is real, does that mean a single sun has now risen above the Seven Stars?
But this is too hard to believe. Can a single magic user really do all that? Is that even possible?
I think it’s impossible too. Unless there’s a huge force behind AbsoluteSafetyFirst, maybe there’s a secret organization in Korea, and they collectively call it AbsoluteSafetyFirst?
Nope. I work for the Korean Gate Management Bureau, and AbsoluteSafetyFirst really is just one magic user.
But you haven’t personally seen him either, right?
Even if it were an organization, it still doesn’t make sense. If Korea had the power to create a secret group like that, there’d be no reason to keep it secret.
But if this really is a single individual… then the strongest magic user in the world from now on would have to be AbsoluteSafetyFirst
Black Mamba got taken down? The Black Mamba is known as the strongest in PvP??? Even the other Seven Stars were said to avoid 1-on-1 PvP fights with him… how did he win?
Solo-clearing a raid monster that had been judged impossible to conquer. Erasing China’s major buildings one by one. Taking down Black Mamba. Eliminating China’s key figures one after another… Is that something a single person can do? From now on, maybe we should ask AbsoluteSafetyFirst to protect the peace of Earth.
I’m not even being sarcastic… I really hope AbsoluteSafetyFirst protects Earth like Superman. Seriously.
But did you guys notice? Ever since AbsoluteSafetyFirst started acting, the system has been behaving strangely. No matter how I think about it, it feels like the system is trying to keep him in check.
Well, Gates have been spawning way more often lately.
But what’s going to happen to China now?
What do you mean, what’s going to happen? They’re just completely screwed.

……

The community was in chaos.

Meanwhile, Seon Yul and Cheon Li Yu were once again enjoying their time leisurely in Hawaii.

This second revenge had resulted in very little gain and a lot of resources spent.

But at least it had been extremely satisfying, so they were perfectly content.

“Where should we go next?”

“Wouldn’t a raid be the easiest?”

The two of them were lying on sunbeds placed on the clean white sand of a Hawaiian beach, drinking cold iced Americanos while chatting.

“Among the impossible-to-clear raids… there’s one in Antarctica. But maybe that place is too cold?”

“I’ve never been to Antarctica, so I’m not sure, but it probably isn’t something we couldn’t endure.”

“Well, it’s not like we’ll be outside the entire time anyway.”

Seon Yul nodded as he murmured.

The two were resting in Hawaii while choosing their next destination.

Since they had practically become inseparable partners, they discussed where to go next together.

“Then, should we prepare to go to Antarctica?”

“Yeah, let’s do that. We should prepare proper cold-weather gear… What equipment do people usually bring when they explore Antarctica?”

Cheon Li Yu looked somewhat excited as she began thinking about what preparations they needed.

“I don’t think we’ll need professional-level equipment. The problem is transportation… but that can be handled easily if we just spend some magic crystals.”

In the end, the only real issue was magic crystals. As long as they used them, they could move roughly 10 km instantly each time.

For long-distance travel, they could use Real Painting [The Door].

For short-distance movement, they could use Divine Eye [Vision Sharing] to create entrances to Absolute Space.

The synergy between Divine Eye and Absolute Space was almost flawless.

“Ah, so we’re not going to walk through the snowfield toward the Gate?”

“We could, but there’s no real reason to. We can just move to somewhere like the King Sejong Station in Antarctica, and from there we can just skip space in 10 km increments.”

“That’s a bit disappointing.”

“Walking through a place that cold would be more exhausting.”

Seon Yul chuckled slightly.

Indeed, he had been smiling more often since spending time with Cheon Li Yu.

“So after about a week of preparation and planning, we’ll move…”

Right at that moment, when Seon Yul was explaining the rough plan.

Ziiiiing!

Both Seon Yul and Cheon Li Yu suddenly felt a strange vibration strike their minds.

“Ugh.”

“Ah!”

A bizarre resonance they had never experienced before.

And after that vibration, something astonishing happened.
