132 – Flower Garden
The awakened people in this world are from a guild or group they belong to.
Professed ideology, family ancestry, etc.
Different distributions occur due to various environmental factors.
But roughly speaking, it can be roughly divided into three categories.
The first one is a hero that everyone knows.
A type of hunter-like character who protects citizens, enters gates and dungeons, kills enemies, and mines resources.
The second is Mine.
Beasts that follow the Demon God and the Six Demons and overcome the limitations of their power by accepting the high energy called Demon Energy that came from ‘outside’.
The third is the villain.
People who commonly think of things as destroying and causing trouble.
Here, the concepts of villain and mine are quite ambiguous.
There are a lot of guys who do the same thing, and there are a lot of guys who are both villains and demons.
‘But strictly speaking, the forces themselves are divided.’
The so-called extraterritorial territory where governments and associations have given up on taking power.
Northern region.
No one admits it and they hiss.
If you look closely, the territory there is often divided into villains and demons.
And when it comes to the villain with the strongest influence, everyone points to a woman.
The ‘Empress of Grafting.’
A hero who puts on a leash and gets used to the food society gives him.
A demon who became intoxicated with power, abandoned all pride and reason, and became a mad dog.
An outlaw queen who rejects both.
A person who lived the same life as the legendary Cheon Yu-gwang and passed away leisurely.
In other words, the subtle woman in front of you, whether she is a woman or a woman, is a giant among giants.
‘… Ha.’
Even thinking about it again, it’s ridiculous.
What measures?
You said something like a measure and fell asleep.
It was as if a huge bomb had been brought in to kill everyone.
‘… Was he only that good of a man?’
No, I wouldn’t be that foolish.
The word second comes to mind for a moment.
‘… ‘Is there some other plan?’
“…I guess you’re a pretty naughty kid.”
The moment I was thinking, a pleasant voice tickled my ears.
The Empress of Grafting was looking at herself.
A woman who is on the ambiguous border between being a girl and an adult.
She was such a strange person that I wondered if she was really the same person.
Is it because I was too distracted?
Choi Si-woo belatedly realizes that the Empress is not alone.
The man was next to her at some point.
A middle-aged man with the appearance of a scholar and wearing glasses.
He was what he knew.
“…Instructor Yubin?”
“It’s been a while, Choi Si-woo. I guess I shouldn’t use the word instructor anymore.”
He is in charge of the S class and is a genius swordsman who is considered to have created a milestone in history with his sword.
The man who supervised him during the Class A exam was standing next to the Empress.
“…I heard you quit being an instructor…I guess you changed your job after all.”
I never asked why.
I have already known all the circumstances in my past life, it has been a long time.
As a bonus, you are the one who took his life.
“…Yes, that’s what happened.”
Yubin also didn’t say anything else.
He sighed deeply.
Haggard face.
He had been thin before, but now he looked so emaciated that he was almost sick.
‘Have I lost my heart?’
A prosecutor whose pride has been shattered.
A person whose spirit is broken will eventually die, no matter how healthy he or she is.
In Choi Si-woo’s opinion, he was in exactly that state.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
We must fight.
But I don’t feel like fighting.
Choi Si-woo felt sorry for him, and for Yu-bin, it was not easy to cut off someone who might have been his student.
“…Do you know someone? Yubin?”
The Empress of Grafting also glanced at Yubin as if she felt it.
“…Yes, Empress. You are my student. Although I was unable to teach you directly due to the timing conflict.”
‘He is a person with a promising future… No, it looks like you’ve already surpassed me.’ Yubin smiled faintly.
“……”
The Empress, who was watching her, was silent.
The corner of her mouth twitches.
The expressionless expression that seemed like a doll just now is starting to crack.
I hesitate.
It’s rattling.
Wiggle your index finger and index finger together.
“…If you don’t like it, I’ll just try to suppress it.”
Finally, he muttered in a creeping voice.
“…!”
“……?!”
Yubin looked surprised at her empress’ answer.
But there was someone else who was more shocked than that.
‘… ‘What did you just say?’
Choi Si-woo could not believe his eyes and ears.
What did the Outlaw Queen say just now?
‘Suppression? ‘Suppression?’
The Empress of Grafting has an arrogant, rude, and cruel personality.
This wasn’t just a rumor, it was Choi Si-woo who fought with her in person, so he knew it well.
‘… In fact, I almost died because of her in my previous life.’
Help from her colleagues.
Although she succeeded in subduing Choi Si-woo with a short display of wit, she still gives me chills when I think of that time.
That’s why I couldn’t believe it.
She rolled her head as best as she could.
Was there anything variable in this life?
What are the different conditions of past life?
‘… No, maybe that was a trap to deceive me-‘
▶-Master. I guess I just fell in love with it?
‘… What?’
▶No, just by looking at it, doesn’t it look like she wants to look good in front of the man she likes?
K’s words came out of nowhere.
It was only then that Choi Si-woo noticed.
Why doesn’t the Empress of Graft attack right away?
What meaning does each gesture of her hand or foot have?
Now, the Empress was paying attention to Yubin next to her and doing her best to defend herself.
‘… No way.’
A puzzle is put together in my head.
The person who killed Yubin in her past life was herself.
She cut off his head, a traitor, and buried her daughter, who had died black and discolored.
No way, because of that incident.
Has it affected you?
From Noble mtl dot com
“How long are you going to play house?”
The recollection did not last long.
Ken Ichimaru is yelling loudly as if he can’t bear to watch it anymore.
Like a child, ‘Pwaaeak!-!’ They yell at me to hurry up and fight.
The Empress of Grafting only gave a cold look but did not react in any way.
But at the last word, her complexion changes instantly.
“Why did you bring that begging man with you? A idiot who only cares about his daughter…-“
-Ichimaru Ken was speechless.
Quick.
The tree trunk swings at a speed so fast that it can only be described that way.
The unusual sound of the attack clearly contained an intention to kill him.
“…Ugh, uhhh!!!”
Kwakwakwang-!!!
Screams and screams.
Shock waves of outrageous destruction.
A huge tree trunk that is more than tens of meters long begins to wreak havoc.
“Avoid, avoid!”
“Everyone, step back!”
The aftermath did not end with just Ken Ichimaru.
A hero who was fighting.
In particular, it caused great damage to the demons.
Kukkwakwa-!!!
The entire upper floor of the building is blown away.
The floor cracks, and broken pieces begin to fall like rain from the sky.
In such a loud roar.
“K…uuuh?!”
Choi Si-woo heard the desperate cry of a man flying through the air.
A gangly-looking middle-aged man wearing sunglasses.
It was the party standard.
He must have been unable to keep his balance due to the sudden blow and fell through a gap in the collapsed building.
‘… K. ‘Please control my movements.’
▶I understand.
Calm your breathing.
The magic power spread through both legs creates a unique lightning-like sound effect.
Soon, it ran like a flash of light.
Hot!
“…Huh?!”
Dang Gi-won raised his gaze at the sudden braking of his body.
Standing there was an arrogant brat who had bewitched my daughter, whom it would not hurt to look at.
“You, you… You gisaeng brother-“
“-I’ll receive your thank you later.”
Choi Si-woo throws him into a corner like throwing trash on the side of the road.
It would be nice if it ended here.
Unfortunately, I had to save one more person.
A narrow-eyed man running away screaming.
Choi Si-woo sighed and ran away again.
*
“…Uh…Why did you save it?”
In his hands was Ken Ichimaru, who was looking at him in disbelief.
“Don’t be mistaken.”
He didn’t say much more than that.
Instead, he gathered magical power into his hands, and boom! It was inserted into Ichimaru Ken’s abdomen.
“Ooh, wow?!”
Ken Ichimaru’s body shakes from the sudden shock.
At the same time, a ripple of unusual power spreads.
[Dominator (SS+) is activated.]
[Inscribe a contract of obedience to Ken Ichimaru.]
[Provisions can be added later.]
“W-what…!?”
“You’re disturbing me. Get out.”
I just threw it out of the balcony.
–
“……”
The Empress of Grafting, who was watching, tilted her head like a plant on her body as if she did not understand.
“…If you were going to kill me, wouldn’t it be okay to just leave it alone?”
“He’s a friend who shouldn’t die yet.”
The Empress’s expression becomes even more strange in response.
“…Then shouldn’t I throw it?”
“I’m not that weak.”
Maybe?
At the last words, the Empress of Grafting let out a breath as if she was dumbfounded.
“…Well, I guess it’s good.”
Soon, he snaps his fingers.
Ujikkeun-!
Plant roots spreading out on the ground draw a round shape.
The plant, which was shaped like a huge door, began to emit unusual magical power.
‘… ‘Song-jin Song.’
One of the abilities that makes the Empress of Grafting a special or SSS level dangerous person.
“Ugh~ What are you doing? Are you already in a fight?”
“As expected, Ruri-Ruri. Are you saying it’s fine even without us?”
She always went with the corps.
As if to prove it, about 20 villains walk into the transmission line.
Choi Si-woo felt it instinctively.
They.
Although the number was small, they worked hard one by one.
“…Psyche. I thought you told me not to call you Ruri Ruri?”
The Empress of Grafting glared at the light pink woman as if she didn’t like her.
“Eh~? But Ruri Ruri has a better tone?”
“…Don’t-“
“-And Yubin-chan is cute, too.”
“……”
At the last words, the Empress of Grafting was silent.
She had a blush on her cheeks and immediately cleared her throat.
“…Everyone, listen carefully. We will proceed as planned.”
“Oh! I’ve changed my mind now!”
“…I’ll say it again, it’s all about suppression. Just don’t kill him.”
As soon as the Empress finished speaking, the villains dispersed.
The heroes who were watching also began to move quickly.
This is a situation where only the two of us are left.
Choi Si-woo opened the topic first.
“It would be easier to kill.”
“I had no choice but to come because of the deal. I have no intention of incurring unnecessary resentment.”
‘… Transaction… la.’
As expected, Ken Ichimaru, or rather the association, has something to offer.
“…It looks like the damage will be great. Let’s change the stage.”
While thinking, the Empress of Grafting put her hands together.
Her mass of plants spread out around her.
We started creating a garden filled with fresh fragrance by drawing a huge dome.
[The Empress of Grafting casts Imagination Realm – Mother Nature’s Garden (SSS).]
[The growth speed of all plants is amplified several times!]
Even though he was able to escape, Choi Si-woo did not resist at all.
Slowly looking around, she turns her neck this way and that.
A treasure trove of Mother Nature filled with warm sunlight and green forests.
The center of that place.
Choi Si-woo stared blankly at the Empress of Grafting coming toward him.
