Chapter 765 – 756 Strait City Moldlete
While Kim Yeong-soo and Kim Chul-soo moved to Nam Molde, avoiding the gaze of the state agent Merianol, Hwan-in returned to the hotel and told her girlfriends about the result of their outing.
= No, I don’t understand. The manager of the port office said so openly?=
When Anne is indignant at her caretaker’s behavior, Hwanin offers her a strawberry cookie coated in sugar and honey.
“Looking at the atmosphere at the port management office, the lord of Moldrete doesn’t seem to have much interest in business. Is the important thing the transportation of goods?”
No matter how much the top manager cares, if the culture is like this, the embezzlement and bribery of practitioners cannot be prevented.
=I don’t know why the traffic suddenly increased so much. Even if Passage is now isolated and requires a lot of supplies, most of the food will rot on the way from here to there…=
Hwan-yeon threw a word at Yurupa, who muttered while eating chicken skewers with a crunchy texture among the dozens of street snacks that Hwan-in bought.
「Elwidless.」
=… Ah.=
“The city of Elwydris seemed to be slowly recovering. Even if the population of a city is cut in half, half of it remains, so a lot of materials are needed to rebuild a site damaged by civil war.”
The lord’s main interest was probably that way. Profits made by supplying materials for post-war reconstruction.
Anne, who was licking the sugar honey on her hand, asks him.
= Then what do you plan to do? Like last time, we all become smaller and cross on the Norn?=
“Looking around, I saw a lot of Luke, Joins, and Flavius, probably because it was a tribal union. If you fly on the Norn, you will be noticed here and there, but I think I want to go over to the main island as quietly as possible.”
=If you look for it, you’ll find something like a cruise ship for aristocrats or rich merchants. Shall we take a look at that?=
Ah-yeong’s suggestion was something that Hwan-in had also thought about.
When he nodded his head to accept, he returned to the size of a fairy and stopped to eat fries the size of his head.
“… What?”
The women blinked at the strange figure staring into the air while pausing for a moment.
“What is it?”
“As if something flashed from the sea, it quickly approached and permeated the city. It looks like a bathrobe, but what is it really… ?」
=A person in a bathrobe from the sea entered the city in a series of flashes?=
When Anne asked back, Hwanyeon nodded her head.
“I came in in the blink of an eye from 4 km away… Did you see anything?」
If he had dressed like an adventurer, explorer, or at least a traveler, he would have looked suspiciously at him, wondering if he was an assassin, but in a bathrobe.
Hwanin asked when the women were confused as if they didn’t know what it was.
“Have you checked your appearance and impression?”
“Really one second? Half a second? At that moment, he disappeared into the crowd and I didn’t see him. Too much attention is paid to the bathrobe.”
“Everyone, pack your weapons and equipment.”
The women stayed dazed for about two seconds, then quickly got up and prepared for battle.
It was because his voice was calm enough to make me faint for a moment, and it was because what Hwanyeon said was so unrealistic.
However, Anne, realizing the seriousness of her situation right away, asked Yu Lepa while putting on her lighthouse light coat that she had taken off.
=Yuli unni, continuous blinking that covers several kilometers in one second is a rare ability of dimension wanderers, right?=
= Yes. Even a relatively simple spatial movement of several meters takes at least one second to coordinate and connect spatially. It increases more than square as the distance traveled increases, several kilometers in one second… ? It’s not a spell, but it’s an authority realm.=
Hwanyeon also put down the fries he was about to eat, and started a wide-ranging search by calling the spirits of earth, wind, fire, and water where the assailants might have hidden through the movement route.
Hwanin, who was wearing a heavenly cloak and taking out the core of the Light Spear, heard the story and murmured softly.
“I wonder.”
=What?=
Anne, who had put on her lighthouse light coat that she had taken off and buttoned up her chest, looked back at him.
“Assuming that the man in the bathrobe is an assassin, it makes no sense that he was wearing a bathrobe, that he used his powers openly, or that he came across the sea.”
If we fit the story into this situation, it can be said that he is not a professionally trained assassin, but he is leaving after refusing his mission for some reason and feeling threatened.
It’s not even a corner store in the neighborhood, Meria Play, so it’s so sloppy?
… Kwak bang… !
Then, an explosion broke through the soundproof windows and shook the interior of the cabin.
The impact shakes the cabin slightly, and out of the window, red flames soaked in graphite bloom like flower buds.
When Ayeong ran and opened the window, people’s screams and coo goong, bang, coo goo—big and small vibrations and explosions continued to be heard.
On top of that, there’s the smoky burnt smell pushed in by the wind.
“Hwanin, I found it. There are two people in bathrobes, but something fights with six in black uniforms, no seven… Eight… Hey, anyway, two people in bathrobes are fighting an ever-increasing number of people in uniforms.”
“…”
「By the way, that person in a bathrobe no matter how you look at it, doesn’t it look like a human from your neighborhood? Did he say he was an Asian?”
“Let’s go. Everyone follow me.”
=Yes.=
=Yes!=
Kwagwawang!!!
“Fuck you!!”
Kim Yeong-soo understood the attacks pouring in from all directions toward himself and Kim Chul-soo with his spatial perception ability, and let out a pair of sounds as he spilled them with his spatial movement ability.
I couldn’t believe it, but I was really openly trying to kill you!
Kwakwang—!!!
He quickly transferred a high-temperature fireball the size of a house into another place, and as if a missile had exploded, the flames blew up, a hot wind blew in, and people’s tearing screams pierced his ears.
Kim Young-soo’s spatial perception detects people burning alive and fluttering.
“… You bastards!!”
“Hey! Kim Young-soo!!”
Kim Yeong-soo, who tried to move space spasmodically, hesitated at Cheol-soo Kim’s yelling from the wreckage of the collapsed house, and then moved into the dimensional wall shelter where he was hiding.
As soon as he entered, Cheol-soo Kim, who quickly filled in the gap with his face, grabbed the red-eyed Young-soo by the shoulder and shouted.
“Those bastards are countering our abilities! It’s impossible for you or me to catch those bastards right now! If you fight, you die!”
“It’s not too much! If you catch those bastards with space movement and shove them deep in the ground… !”
Whatever the reason, dozens of people who had nothing to do with him died or were seriously injured.
At first, I decided to kill one person out of self-interest and desire… No, to be precise, it wasn’t about killing them, it was about sending them to another dimension.
I thought I would be able to do well even when I received it, but when I see a person die right next to me, my reason is paralyzed by guilt, fear, and anger.
Kim Cheol-soo, who caught Kim Yeong-soo, with blood on his head, trying to move again, slapped him on the cheek.
“Calm down you bastard!! Didn’t these bastards even prepare for that?! Some of the magical weapons disrupt spatial coordinates, but if you get hit by that, you… !”
Kuguang, Kugugung. Cooing… !
Chul-soo Kim, startled by the sudden shaking of the inside of the dimensional wall shelter, looked around at the hemispherical dimensional wall shaped like a honeycomb pattern.
The dimensional wall does not transmit any attacks or shocks to the inside. If it passes through the land…
“Kim Young-soo!”
“Fuck!!”
As soon as Kim Cheol-soo is grabbed and space-shifted, the ground where they were hiding collapses like a sinkhole, and a huge amount of dust rises.
At the same time, the fire waves and wind storms of the Merianol judges flew towards the two.
Each one is large enough to lightly swallow a house, but when the two combine in the middle, it causes a huge firestorm.
Kim Young-soo panics because he can’t space-shift it, and spreads space-shift again to get out of the range of the flame storm.
Every time the two evaded an attack, as if the avoidance point was predicted, the attack poured out and the grenade fell all over the city and exploded, so the city fell into chaos in an instant.
‘Hey! It looks like a tracking marker was stamped on it… !’
Cheol-soo Kim, who was caught by Young-su Kim and was moving around in space, is frightened by the sharp attacks whenever he moves in space, and desperately blocks the dimension by isolating or separating it.
He tried to roll his head at the same time, but no matter how hard he tried, no answer came out.
The two of them, who left the hotel in North Moldlet and headed to the clothing store to get clothes, started to be attacked by the Merianol judges from then on.
Kim Young-soo and Kim Cheol-soo tried to calmly counterattack by blocking and avoiding the judges’ attacks without being attacked.
Because I had already assumed that I would be attacked, I was able to calm myself down.
So the moment the judges attacked, right after Kim Young-soo moved into space, Kim Chul-soo tried to blow the judges away with dimensional glass.
‘It must be. He taught us how to counter our abilities in case something happens that should kill us!’
The judges said that when Kim Yeong-su leaps into space, she throws herself out of the range of the dimensional glass with all her might before she can put the dimensional glass on herself.
Even during an attack, if Kim Young-soo uses space movement, he will first throw his body forward, left, right, and anywhere to get out of the attack range.
Although ignorant, it was a very effective method for the two who had lost all their equipment.
If Kim Young-soo had all kinds of memorization and a poisoned capsule pouch, he would have found a breakthrough somehow, but he left his belongings at the hotel for fear of tracking and some kind of remote control.
With only two gold coins as their belongings, the two eventually left North Moldlete as if they were running away and crossed the strait by continuous spatial movement.
When Kim Young-soo got tired of moving too continuously while crossing, he hit a dimensional wall in the sea, rested for a while, and then moved again. … !
While he desperately rolled his head, Kim Young-soo, who continued to avoid the ranged attacks from the judges, gritted his teeth and asked Kim Cheol-soo.
“Hey, Kim Chul-soo! If those bastards who look like 5th or 6th grade come out like that, I have no tools and I have no way to do anything! How to!? Just run away?!”
If the Judges really possessed a space-travel-inhibiting magic, they would receive a fatal counterattack at the crucial moment.
When he dies, he hides inside the dimensional wall, which has no mobility, and there is no other way but to be buried alive in the dimensional wall as before, or to starve to death after surviving inside the dimensional wall.
“No, running away is difficult!”
I prepared it as if I guessed that this side would betray me, but how do I know how far I’ve gone!
First of all, we have no maps, no food, no goods. It would be madness to walk out of the city with only a loose bathrobe on top of it.
“Then what! It’s hard to hold out any longer!!”
“I’m thinking about the fuck, so hold on a little longer!”
I think I’m going to get sick from the already dizzy space movement… !
It was then.
Piing—
Suddenly, three arrows came into Kim Young-soo’s range of spatial perception and pierced the limbs and stomach of the judge who was about to throw the Demonic Flame Orb again.
Gurrureung—
Aww… !
Then, the sound of thunder bursting a step late and the judge shaking his whole body as if he had been electrocuted before collapsing.
Urreung, gurreung, kkwagwang—
After that, arrows flew incessantly, and the judges scattered in all directions like frightened rabbits.
And Kim Young-soo and Kim Cheol-soo, who discovered the beauties chasing the rabbit, opened their eyes wide without making a sound.
The goddess with pale amber hair, which would not be strange even if it were golden, swung her three swords in all directions and cut off the limbs of judges of melee professions they had never approached.
The immaculate pure silver hair goddess wraps her whole body in light and moves like a flash of light, chasing after the sorcery-type judges who ride her spirit, smashing them to pieces with her shield or grabbing her legs and smashing them to the ground.
The judges who tried to fly up or strike back at the goddesses danced as if they were electrocuted with arrows sprouting from their bodies like hedgehogs every blink of an eye, and the shooter-type judges who tried to attack with daggers or arrows abruptly turned their heads every time their tendons were cut. The whole thing was collapsing.
“… Hey Youngsoo. Look there, look there.”
“Uh, huh?”
Kim Yeong-soo, who had been watching this from the roof of a tall building, turned his head and was startled at the sound of Kim Chul-soo tapping his cheek and the side of his head while calling.
Even if you pretend to be Korean, the handsome man who will never be pushed back even if you compare him to the teenage male gods of the Korean entertainment industry was staring at them with a nonchalant gaze.
It’s a bit younger and has a different atmosphere than the portrait of Impression in the Seongje data file given by the director, but Seongje… Right?
Kim Yeong-soo, who secretly turned his head at the fearful eyes, was surprised to see that all four of the judges who had driven them to death were overpowered in that brief moment.
Who are the Merianol Judges? Not only is it not widely known because it only works inside Merianol, but it is Merianol’s self-proclaimed best fighting group, made up of all 5th grade workers or higher.
“It’s like catching flies on those bastards…”
Cheol-soo Kim, who was watching the same thing as Young-soo Kim, muttered blankly and shuddered.
Seongje (a man presumably) was beckoning them to come here.
With eyes that say if you run away you will die.
Kim Young-soo and Kim Cheol-soo swallowed their saliva.
「Hwanin. Are those people Koreans?”
“Okay.”
I could hear the fucking sound from here.
Before he tripped with NioneBreath, shibal was exported all over the world because of the OTT drama that was a hit on a global scale, but looking at that appearance, it must be the original fuck.
Hwanin stared blankly at them standing on top of the building, then met his eyes and gestured to the startled two to come here.
Around that time, the women who had subdued all the judges tied the judges with strings like weaving sea urchins and dragged them.
=Doryeong, you beat them all.=
=Me too!=
Limbs were cut off, limb tendons were cut, bones were crushed all over the body, or arrows were stuck in the front and back of the body like a hedgehog.
What they have in common is that they are gagged and only grumble.
“Good work. While you work hard, use a little more strength. Isilite, Imorel, Norn, and Baekryeogang go around and lead the injured people here. Anne and Ayoung treat the injured, and Yurpa also heals people with recovery medicine.”
After complimenting her girlfriends and sending her on a mission again, Issilite asks.
=Master, how are you guys doing? It’s dangerous to leave it like this…=
Isilite stopped talking and saw Judge Thirteen’s head fall off the Hwanin’s light spear. Isilite shut her mouth and moved to rescue her wounded.
=You guys over there, don’t just watch, move to save people. You look strong over there, so follow me.
=Ooh, why us?=
=It doesn’t make sense to say that you are saving people. Come on.=
= Ugh…=
After revealing a clear aura, the girlfriends start to save people by dragging the onlookers and scattering.
Hwanin looked at them for a moment, then hesitantly turned his gaze to the approaching two men in bathrobes.
It must have been quite hard to come here, but the white bathrobe is torn, burnt, or wet here and there, and it looks like a trash.
When their eyes met again, the two men began to tremble as if they had seen the death god.
It has to be. In the eyes of Kim Young-soo and Kim Chul-soo, Hwan-in was a crazy psychopathic killer who killed 13 people who had lost the strength to resist.
And something, the closer you get, the more like a snake… It feels like going into the mouth of a dragon…
“Nice to see you. Are you two Koreans?”
“Yes? Yes yes! No, that’s right!”
“No, that’s right!”
“Shall we start with a simple statement? My name is Hwanin. It’s been about 5 years since I moved to Nionebreath, and I was 26 at the time of the trip.”
Uh? Twenty-six means thirty-one now, so why are you so young?
Cheol-soo Kim stuttered open his mouth while feeling embarrassed inside.
“I am… Ki, this is Kim Chul-soo. This bitch… Oh no! This is Kim Young-soo. He’s been on Nione Breath for about two years now. We both went to school to attend a lecture… I passed.”
Hwanin’s eyes sank as he lowered his head as if to say hello.
“If it’s a lecture, it’s about early March.”
“Yes yes. March of ’23.”
Are you a college student It means that it will be about a month after I tripped, so it roughly coincides with the beginning of the semester.
Hwanin, who nodded slightly at the appearance of not lying, threw a question at the two of them while killing themselves as if caught off guard.
“So, are you two assassins sent from Merianole to kill me?”
“Oh no!!”
“No! Not really!! We came without knowing anything, but something was strange! I was going to turn down the mission… !”
“…”
The two men, who were shocked and desperately making excuses as if their hearts were beating, sweated profusely, feeling incomprehensible intimidation at Hwanin’s actions as they calmly watched without a word.
If I knew that the other person noticed that the truth and the lie were mixed half and half, it would have been contemplative.
“How did you two come to Nionebreth?”
“That is… I picked up an expensive-looking gold coin along the way, but I thought the lecture would be too late to leave it at the police station…”
I was thinking of leaving it at the police station after class, but at some point I came to my senses and realized that it was somewhere in Passage.
“Are there many people in the Passage who came over the same way as you?”
“As far as I know, there are about 60 people… I don’t say it, but I know that most of us came after picking up something like us…”
Only the first answer was half true and half false, the rest were all true.
It is highly likely that he was beguiled and came to kill himself, but changed his mind after learning more information.
= Hey! Get some herbs and some bandages here!=
= Priest! I think this person here will run out of breath any moment!=
= Ahhh… I’m dying…=
=Sah, save me…=
= Put up with broken limbs! There are many more dangerous people!=
As Hwanin put his thoughts together for a while and inferred the background of their actions, the area around him suddenly turned into a field hospital as the injured continued to be carried on stretchers or carried by someone.
The injured people found in the search for fantasy are laid down in a row, and Anne searches for people with relatively less severe injuries and treats them with sexual magic.
As Ah-young continued to treat the person in serious condition who was being transported to her, and her Yurpado recovery potion was in both her hands, she moved around busily.
And the more that happened, the tension between Kim Yeong-soo and Kim Chul-soo grew endlessly.
Since she is facing Seongje directly, she continues to shake for reasons unknown. ‘Shall we just run away?’ As the two began to ponder, a group of people came to visit.
Churn churn—
Knights and soldiers dressed in glittering armor, and priests in orange priestly uniforms and priestly uniforms.
The clergy immediately cling to treating people, but as the soldiers forcibly approach the residents, the surroundings quickly become crowded like a market.
= There! You are one of those girls… !=
Seeing the bear-headed Lukrang tribe proudly approaching, their stomachs smeared with oil as a bribe, Hwanin silently put his hands together and fired a wave of tranquility.
Faaaaa—
The surroundings were enveloped in silence for a moment, and everyone’s eyes were focused on Hwanin.
And Hwanin asked Lukerang of the Inung tribe in a cold voice.
“Those women, what about my soul knights?”
As Hwanin glared at him with a golden glow in his eyes, Luke and a man with brown bear hair who were standing in a daze shook their heads while hiccupping.
= Oh no! Become one of those girls… Are you a person! That’s what I meant to ask!=
“You’re right. I was in the process of subduing the criminals who were destroying the city and treating the injured. Are there any problems?”
At the cold voice that said he knew what you were trying to say, the man with the head of a bear, the butler Seong Yeongju, shook his hand with excitement.
= No problem! None at all! Rather, ho, maybe… Seongjae… Are you… ?=
“Is that important?”
Is it important? Of course it matters! But if you said it was important, you look like you’d drop a thunderbolt…
The clerk suddenly noticed that he hadn’t introduced himself when he saw the thirteen corpses that had run away after grunting like a bear who had honey in front of him but couldn’t eat it.
=I-I am Ungolo, chief clerk butler of Lord Moldrete. I, these are the culprits who attacked the city?=
“Yes. I couldn’t leave it alone, so I disposed of it arbitrarily, but I’m a little concerned that it seems to have violated the lord’s authority.”
= Uh… I hope you don’t have to worry too much! Huh, if you allow it, we would like to collect the bodies of the authors and report them to the lord…=
“Let it be. In addition, I would appreciate it if you could tell me that you wish for the lord’s ‘mercy’ so that there will not be a big trouble with that.”
Ungoloy had never thought that the emphasis on a particular word could be so frightening.
= Yes, yes! I’ll be sure to tell the lord!=
Ungoloi nodded hurriedly as if trembling, and shouted to the soldiers to take care of the judges’ corpses.
Cheol-soo Kim and Young-soo Kim made complicated expressions as they watched the soldiers hurriedly taking the judge’s corpse and the butler urging the soldiers.
The fear subsided thanks to the wave of serenity. What fills the place is the unbelievable power of Seongje.
How on earth is his prestige so high that such a pot-bellied aristocrat can only groan with a few words in a wave of tranquility after revealing his true identity?
If you look at the luxurious clothes of that bear’s head, you must be a noble with a filthy high nose.
Speaking of dimensional wanderers, I feel somewhat refreshed when I see the servility of things that I have always regarded as a spectacle.
Hwanin approached them and smiled, holding out something that looked like a metal toilet.
“Excuse me… This…”
It looks like he is offering it to wear, but at a glance it looks like something not good, so I look at him, but he just smiles quietly without answering.
It’s not Kim Chul-soo who can’t read the meaning and atmosphere in that expression.
“Wear on bare skin.”
Feeling intimidated, Kim Cheol-soo put on a slightly crude silver metal sleeve on his arm, and at that moment realized that most of the energy inside his body was sealed and he could no longer use his abilities.
Kim Yeong-soo kicks Toshi, but realizes it and shows fear in his eyes.
Now, if Seongje makes up his mind, they will not be able to resist and run away.
“I changed my mind halfway through the execution, but it is true that you two tried to assassinate me. For that reason, please understand that I am wearing the ability-sealing magic device, albeit as a temporary measure. Please cooperate with me, and if it is judged harmless, I will release the sorcerer.”
“Yes…”
“Yes.”
The fear was short-lived, and the two men let out a sigh of relief at the story of Hwanin, who seemed to be logical and considerate.
The momentum of the bloody Seongje was almost all gone, and even though it was the Seongje who cut the neck of a thirteen-year-old judge with a question and answer dance, they did not use violence against them and only filled the seal.
At least, isn’t it a story that they won’t beat themselves to death?
If you cut off your limbs like you did with those judges and make them half assholes, you don’t have to fill the seal hole.
= Brother! Can I take these two and get them to work?! I’m too busy!=
“Okay.”
The fear didn’t really go away, but the two, who were relieved at the thought that they had passed the hurdle, were suddenly dragged away by Ah-yeong and busily running errands.
