Dok-ja gripped his sword tightly. This Disaster wasn't that strong in the beginning, but it was as troublesome as the Disaster of Floods in some ways.
"Oh! A pretty Noona (Younger males use this term to call their elder sister)! What's your name?" The young guy asked while dodging Sang-ah's dagger. Before Dok-ja could say anything she spoke up.
"Shut up." A frown formed on her forehead as she was addressed as anything but an elder sister.
[The first question has been answered.]

"Come on don't be like that, I am trying to get to know you better. That way we can have a nice date later," Il-sang continued with a lascivious expression.
"Y-You…" Lycaon slightly trembled at the sight of the youth. If Antinus was around she might've exploded in anger, this youth was the reason their world was destroyed.
"Oh, I was craving some pork and here you are," Il-sang's eyes were on the wolf, but he didn't see him as one.
"How about I treat Noona to some on the date? These wolves have this super lean meat and I know just how to cook the—Woah!" Hastily stepping back he touched his neck. The blood on his hand made him whistle as his eyes caught the cause of that.
"Another pretty Noona here to welcome me? I can't be happier." The smirk on his face was unsettling.
He hadn't seen a proper human woman in years let alone some who were so beautiful. The woman wearing the tight-fitting combat suit glaring at him, the one in the back surrounded by ice looked like the cutesy type, and next to her was another eye-catching woman with pure white hair that gave cold vibes, but the cream of the crop was the blonde and short black haired girl that came for his life like it was just another Tuesday.
"Is this my harem setting? Do I finally get to live that part out? Isn't that great? You all will be the women of a hero that saved the world!" Il-sang was in glee, he had suffered in a world full of beasts as a lone human.
Now he had returned to his home, had superior strength with a handsome face, and there were beautiful women waiting for him, there was nothing more he could ask for.
"Delusional brat," The only problem was that these women were too strong. Hae-in nearly cut his head off with the next swing, half of his hair was chopped off but he did not care because his eyes landed on Soo-young.

Dok-ja knew that this wasn't good, if he kept quiet about it the situation would continue to worsen. And if he does speak, then he would have to be ready for what comes next. But things didn't look so bad right now, they were able to push him back. What they lacked was a decisive blow.
"Why are you attacking me? Is this an enemy-to-lover kind of scenario? Those a bit cliché but I don't mind," He dodged the ice spears while barely avoiding Hae-in's attacks. His footwork did help him get away, which is why the attackers devised a plan.
Il-sang who was too focused on Hae-in had his feet caught by Sang-ah's strings, with his feet bound Dok-ja and Soo-young rushed him with their weapons burning with ether. But even in this moment, he was far from concerned.
"That ether blade is dangerous, also that mole under your eye looks hot," Rather than the suave image he was going for, this only irritated his target.
"Don't answer him." But Dok-ja's words fell on deaf ears as veins popped on Soo-young's face.
"Shut the fuck up! You're fucking creepy!" Now there was anger behind her attacks as she charged blindly, and by doing so she created an opening.
[The Third question has been answered.]
[The third seal has been lifted.]
And with the increased speed it became easier to exploit it, with a slight shift in his direction he avoided the attack and grabbed Soo-Young. The soft and delicate hands in his grasp felt nice, he liked the smoothness of her white skin that turned slightly red under his grip, and this was just a hand.
"What do you mean Creepy? Did you get a big head just cause I praised you a little?" In this moment he can touch a lot more and be a real creep, but before that, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
His eyes lowered to see a dagger pushed into his bare stomach, his eyes trembled in anger. He was just trying to be a gentleman and this woman played with him, she deceived him by her looks just to stab him.
"You Bitch!" His fist struck her head, and as he watched Soo-young's head explode, her body suddenly tackled him to the ground.
"What? This headless bitch!" He kicked her away in a hurry.
When he noticed the body disintegrating, he understood that it was an avatar, but what was the point of that? The answer arrived in the next moment as his eyes swam.
"H-Huh? M-My body? I-It won't…" No matter how much he tried there was no response from his arms or legs, the wound in his abdomen ached as a reminder of what happened.
The avatar was used to deliver poison when he least expected it, he wasn't wrong about being tricked as his executioner arrived before him. The attack was as quick as a flash of light, his head went flying before he could even utter a word.
'That was quick,' Dok-ja sighed in relief, in the end, he didn't have to step into the matter.
Their group had made several plans to deal with the Disaster based on the abilities they saw, their team was strong but there were three components that were to be used in almost every plan.
First was Hae-in's abnormal speed, it was too good to pass up. Second was Soo-young's avatar which helped in creating distraction and deception. And finally the third, Seol-hwa's poison, it was the most important one.
Her poison had put out Jung-hyuk for a whole day, if Dok-ja hadn't found him and fed him the antidote there was a good chance the Regressor would've departed this world. Seol-hwa also said that she had recently made a breakthrough in her technique.
"I didn't expect you to end him no questions asked," Soo-young commented as Hae-in sheathed her sword. No matter how they cut it, that guy was from Earth.
"There was no other way. If someone like him is allowed to grow, you can only imagine what he would do with that power. Don't tell me you pity for the boy after what he did?" Hae-in asked.
'I really don't like her,' Soo-young grimaced.
Pity? No. She wanted to punch that guy to death after he molested an avatar that looked like her. Although it wasn't in the plan, after seeing that he was attracted to beautiful women. She made the only logical option to trap him using that, and that was to make an avatar that looked like her.
It worked wonderfully but she didn't like seeing herself handled that way, if she didn't follow through with the attack he might've molested her (avatar) more.
"Thought so,"
