Chapter 1953 – 1953. Hot
As the enemy and Seong Yu-jin disappeared before his eyes, Han Ha-rin panicked and ran forward. He was so flustered that in the middle of the run he tripped and nearly fell, but managed to keep his balance. Where she had her Seongyujin, only traces of her Yin-Yang sake remained.
“This idiot… !”
Blinded by the treasure, she saw clearly that this catastrophe had taken place. Han Harin wanted to hit Seong Yujin on the head for the first time in a while. Had he been in front of her now, he might have hit her on the head with gravity.
She hastily pulled her smartphone out of her pocket. Her hands were shaking, but now her eyes were only on her smartphone.
She called Sung Eugene. Her signal went but was not picked up. Her face contorted.
‘What should I do?’
She doesn’t even know magic, let alone yin and yang. She had no idea where Seong Eugene had gone.
What immediately comes to mind is reporting to the Hunter Association. However, can the Hunter Association be sharp? The opponent is Baekrim. It is the worst criminal organization mainly active in Japan.
‘It could have been teleported to Japan. The Korean Association cannot intervene right away.’
The relationship between the Japanese Association and the Korean Association was not good even with empty words. The Japanese Hunter Association couldn’t even welcome it.
Above all, isn’t he and Seong Eugene sneaking into a place controlled by the Hunter Association?
After the Hunter Association, it was Han Ah-young.
‘If it’s a sister…’
S-class hunters are welcome wherever they go. It’s no different because she’s Japanese.
‘I hate asking her sister for help. But…’
What if something happens to Sung Yu-jin?
Han Harin knows better than anyone else that Seong Yujin is not weak. She is probably worse than Sung Eugene, even an A-class hunter. But she was stronger than Seong Eugene in this world. The worst case doesn’t get out of my head.
‘I have to get out of here for now.’
Her fog was clearing. I had a hunch that the Hunter Association would soon come. If you contact the Hunter Association now, things will be more complicated.
She took out her space travel order book that she had received from Seong Eugene. A ridiculous item that allows you to move through space just by tearing it apart.
‘Like that dowsing, where the hell do you get these things?’
Got it from a dungeon?
That excuse is once or twice. Do you always get unusual items from dungeons?
‘Do you know who doesn’t go into dungeons?’
There was very little chance of finding a special item in the dungeon. Right now, even Han Harin had made such a discovery, which was rare enough to be counted on one hand.
‘I don’t like it.’
Chew!
I tore up the space travel spell.
The moment she felt her eyesight blink as if she had blinked, she was in Seong Eugene’s house. Han Ha-rin, who looked around the house without her landlord, picked up her smartphone. Her beep went about 2 times and her caller picked up. Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to be busy.
“Sister, it is me.”
Han Ha-rin then let out her deep sigh.
“I had an accident with that bastard.”

“Where are you again?”
Moving to an unknown place, I frowned.
It was a house, but it was like a traditional Japanese house a few hundred years ago. There were tatami mats on the floor and a hearth in the center. It seemed that even the wind would blow the ashes.
“Thunder Bareback. I’ve never seen someone as stupid as you. It is humiliating for an ignorant human being like you to live in the same era as me.”
The man with no lower body swayed.
“This child… Where are you? Just answer the questions.”
I barely resisted the urge to cut off my head. I wondered where he was and what he was doing. Wouldn’t it be great if it was Baekrim’s home base?
‘Can’t I get a lot of performance points if I inform the Hunter Association?’
If you think it’s dangerous, you can jump out with the space movement scroll. I’m a little worried about Han Ha-rin, who is left alone, but she gave me a space transfer order, so there shouldn’t be any big problems.
“Why should I answer?”
“Because if you don’t answer, this will happen.”
I swung his knife and cut off his one remaining arm. Only the head and torso, the guy chewed his lips. The heart of the phoenix he was holding in his hand fell to the floor. He thought the house would burn with his beating heart, but he was fine. He reached for Phoenix’s heart, but felt the heat and immediately withdrew his hand back.
‘They discriminate against people so damn badly.’
It’s a treasure, it’s a nabal, and I’m going to step on it with my feet. I glared at the phoenix’s heart, then stabbed the phoenix in the abdomen to vent my anger.
“Gagging. Wow! Stop doing meaningless things!”
“Are you really not dead? Immortality is an ability? Is that possible?”
Suddenly, my abilities come to mind. Play life app.
“Come to think of it, it’s an insignificant ability.”
“Are you saying my skills aren’t worth it? If you’re envious, say you’re envious! There is no one in this world who does not covet my ability!”
The guy screamed. The pride in his abilities skyrocketed. I clicked my tongue and sliced his stomach.
“Aww!”
“I can strangle you to death with your intestines. If you still don’t die, I’ll break the cobweb. Quickly tell me where this is.”
“Kill him.”
The guy said without hesitation.
I never felt any fear of death. These guys had to find another way to intimidate. You can hold it in your hand and threaten it, which is usually more precious than life.
I looked around and headed for the phoenix heart on the floor. Aim your sword at the heart of the phoenix. The response came straight away. The guy had his eyes wide open.
“Don’t do anything stupid. It’s not the heart of an ordinary phoenix. It is an energy resource that has been strengthened with the spirit and body of a youkai, reinforced with elixirs, and gathered firearms. It’s kind of like a nuclear power plant. Even you, a fool, would not know how great its value is.”
“Even so, I can’t have it. If I can’t have it, I’d rather break it. That is my creed.”
“It’s just like your credo. Do it if you can. Phoenix’s heart will explode like a nuclear bomb. Your body will turn to ashes and disappear without a trace. On the other hand, I don’t die. You will only die a dog.”
I chuckled.
“Young. Is your tongue getting longer because you’re scared?”
This was the correct answer
He raised his sword. Mana moves. Soon, a blue sword formed on the blade. His eyes are shaking anxiously.
‘If you hit it, it will explode? If it’s a nuclear bomb, I’ll die painlessly.’
It didn’t matter if there was pain. It was better without it. It was the moment to drop the knife.
“Stop!”
My knife was too fast to hear and react to the voice.
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 5]
Using the moment, I forcibly twisted the blade sideways. The blade landed on the floor next to Phoenix’s heart. Phoenix’s heart was beating incessantly.
“It’s scary to fish. I was originally going to stop.”
“… This crazy guy Are you really trying to slit Phoenix’s heart? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a madman more than a live-and-lived Master.”
“Do you have a reason to answer my question now?”
He looked back and forth between me and Phoenix’s heart, then he couldn’t help but open his mouth.
“This is my dwelling place. It is located deep in Mt. Fuji. Because the barrier was put up, it could not be seen from the outside or entered. Even if there is no barrier, it is too deep for ordinary people to enter.”
I opened the window and checked outside. It was definitely a mountain landscape. If you turn your head to the side, you can see the scenery of the village. There were houses in the form of traditional Japanese folk houses.
“Didn’t you live alone?”
“Now I am alone.”
“Now?”
“One of Baekrim’s secret dwellings was here. It was a perfect place to avoid people’s eyes and receive the spirit of Mt. Fuji for training. Since 10 years ago, the spirit of Mt. Fuji faded and everyone left. I am the only one living here.”
It certainly didn’t feel popular. Instead, there were other suspicious signs. He raised his sword and threw it at another house. The wall was cut and what was revealed was a drone operating a machine.
“What is that…”
“It is my food body.”
He said as if he had been waiting. There was a mixture of pride and pride in his voice.
“Wasn’t the shikigami used by the onmyojis pieces of paper?”
“Ha, you too are prejudiced. Just because it’s food spirit, do you have to use only amulets and yokai? The world is civilized and science and technology are gradually developing. You cannot develop by simply being bound by old traditions. Is it different from yin and yang magic?”
“What is Baeklim up to? Are you really all alone here?”
“What do you think of White Rim? Does it look like a black guild?”
“It’s a criminal organization aiming to overthrow the state.”
“… No. Baeklim is an organization of doctors gathered for change in Japan. Fucking politicians just ostracize us for their power and accuse us of being a criminal organization.”
“That’s a terrorist.”
I said, but he continued without raising an eyebrow.
“Lamentably, Japan stopped decades ago. The energy of the archipelago has declined, and people have chosen safety over development. I heard a mango in Japan. We gathered to change such a Japan. While helping each other, we are trying to lift Japan’s obscurity in our own way.”
“You usually play alone. Why are you saying it so hard? What were you doing here? What are you going to use the heart of the phoenix for?”
“Why should I tell you that?”
The point of the sword aimed at Phoenix’s heart.
“… If the conditions are right, Phoenix’s heart can become a permanent power equivalent to a large-scale nuclear power plant. With this, I will create the ideal and immortal leader of Japan, Tenshin.”
The guy revealed his aspirations.
Weiying. Weeeee
The sound of the drone operating the machine could be heard from here. The drone was building something. Just then, the finished product came out of the machine. It looked like a mechanical part.
Machine, perpetual power, immortality.
After assembling the keywords, one conclusion came out.
“Could that leader be a robot?”
The guy grins.
“Yes. A leader who judges people without personal feelings and executes policies only for this country. A perfect leader who doesn’t have any filthy human desires. The Machine Emperor will open a new era for Japan, and it will become a new driving force for Japan and develop day by day!”
“To think that a machine emperor would rule Japan… What a great plan. Just listening to it makes my heart grow. It’s not great, it’s scary. But where is the machine emperor? I will put the heart of the phoenix in myself and help you in your plan.”
