The streets blurred beneath him as Kang Woo stood at the edge of the city, his thoughts racing faster than his body ever could.
> How do I get there quickly?
The mental image of his children trapped in a dungeon rift clouded his thoughts. The chaos in Kyoto wasn't just a threat to hunters—it was personal. His children, his legacy, were inside.

The Fastest Way
Kang Woo let out a deep breath, clearing his thoughts. His body was still weak, but his Qi, the power he once wielded so effortlessly, was slowly returning.
> There must be a faster way…
His gaze flickered to the sword at his side—then down to the ground beneath him.
The Omnipotent Sword.
> I can use this.
He reached into his shadow, summoning the blade that had once cleaved through gods and demons alike.
The dark edge shimmered into existence, as if the void itself had birthed it.
> "This should be quick."

Lift-Off
Kang Woo channeled a sliver of Qi into his legs, propelling himself upwards with ease.
He grinned briefly.
> Flying never gets old.
His feet left the ground, and with the sword in hand, he soared into the sky, slicing through the air. His body cut through the clouds, his surroundings a blur.

In mere moments, he was above the sprawling city of Kyoto, the chaotic storm clouds swirling ominously in the distance.
> I'll reach the gate in no time.

Arrival at the Gate
But as he neared the edge of the abnormal rift, the sight below made his heart skip a beat. The military perimeter was immense, armed soldiers and heavy machinery lined up to prevent any unauthorized entry. Barbed wire fences, tanks, and helicopters hovered near the rift's epicenter.
> They'll never let me in like this.
Kang Woo's grip tightened around the sword. His gaze hardened.
> "I don't have time for this."

A Quick Solution
He landed silently just outside the military line. He was still in the shadows, unnoticed for now. But that wouldn't last long.
Step 1: Neutralize the threat.
He approached the soldiers who were guarding the perimeter, effortlessly slipping past their watchful eyes. When he was close enough, he struck.
> You'll be unconscious before you even know what hit you.
He raised his hand, channels of Qi flowing through his body as his speed increased to an inhuman level. His movements were a blur, and before the soldiers could react, they dropped like puppets with cut strings.
> Done.
With a flick of his wrist, the last soldier crumpled into a heap.
He wasn't here to fight; he was here to save his kids.

Entering the Gate
Kang Woo stepped forward, the once-immense military barrier now nothing but a fleeting memory.
He walked straight through the gates, no hesitation in his stride.
> Now, where are they?
He raised his hand, channeling more Qi. The air around him hummed as he searched the rift, feeling for his children's presence amidst the chaos.
Energy signatures flared within the storm's center.
> Got you.

With a deep breath, Kang Woo pushed forward, stepping into the rift and leaving the chaos of Kyoto behind. The world blurred again as his power surged, seeking only one thing: his children.
