‘Original clan……?’
Wearing a red dress and a fishnet veil, the only things that could be seen on her face was the lips and jawline.
Even so, he could not take his eyes off her crimson lips.
“Who, Who may you be!”
The rude, arrogant Kang-ryup Jeo spoke in polite speech without himself knowing.
She slowly approached Kang-ryup Jeo without answering.
“Hem, you see, I am in a bit of trouble right now. If you help me, I’ll reward you!”
“Reward?”
Her voice was as clear as jade rolling over a silver tray.
Kang-ryup Jeo swallowed his drool at her beautiful voice.
“Th, that’s right! I am the Relic of the Relics, Kang……”
As Kang-ryup Jeo tried to say his name, she lifted one finger and took it close to her lips.
When her fingertip brushed Kang-ryup’s lips, his lips stuck together and refused to move.
‘What is this……!’
He tried to resist by pulling up the psychic wave in his body, but it was difficult just to calm the uneven waves in his body due to the prong attack.
Her fingers went slowly down to his abdomen.
She murmured, touching the wound with her fingertips.
“It’s not a nine-pronged one.”
Her well-groomed nails turned red and long.
‘W, wait. Nine-pronged……?’
Realizing that something was wrong, Kang-ryup tried to escape.
However, when her nails touched him, he could not move his muscles.
“Of course, even if you were ripped nine times, I was going to tear a new one.”
Riiiip!
Her hands began to break through his belly skin.
Kang-ryup writhed in pain, unable to make a sound because his lips were sealed.
Rip! Wham! Riiiip!
At the end of exactly nine mutilations, she pulled out her hand.
She didn’t have a drop of blood on her white fingertips, perhaps because she had wrapped them with psychic waves in advance.
‘Why……!’
Kang-ryup Jeo shook in fear, unable to even faint, but she laughed as she smashed Kang-ryup’s device.
“This island’s coordinates are altered now. The coordinates you sent to your men are another island far away from here. Huhuhu, when will your men come here to find you?”
A shiver ran down Kang-ryup Jeo’s spine.
Original clans have their own recovery ability, but the damage Kang-ryup Jeo had received was so severe and there was no energy source around him.
His only hope was in the subordinates that should pick him up.
However, there are more than 3,000 islands around the Korean peninsula.
It will take a long time for his men to find him.
‘If I was in full condition, no, only if I had that stupid pitchfork!’
He wriggled and tried to beg her mercy, but she only smiled joyfully.
Only after watching Kang-ryup wiggle in pain until the moon changed its position did she turn her feet around, satisfied.
“Huhuhu.”
She laughed quietly, then walked gracefully with the hem of her dress flowing in the wind.
She glided on the sea and crossed a few islands.
Then, she stopped, sensing someone coming.
“Thank you for allowing me to watch, Woong-nyeo of Bitan.”
It was the priest of Invidius who came to Woong-nyeo of Bitan.
The seal of Invidius was visible on the robe and forehead of the demon.
“I heard the pig made a deal with you. Shouldn’t you be helping him?”
“The arrogant deal proposed by Jeo is over. I’ve handed over the psychic poison I extracted myself, so I don’t need to do more than that.”
Woong-nyeo of Bitan tilted her head and looked at the priest of Invidius.
The priest of Invidius, who guided Kang-ryup Jeo to the coordinate-distorted island and informed her of its location.
The demon seemed very dissatisfied, despite the fact that they had finished all the deals today.
“You don’t seem satisfied. What’s the problem?”
The demons recently devoted all their power to observing the human world.
What they received in exchange for the deal was “permission to watch.”
The demon replied bitterly at her words.
“It’s because of the superior being! The ‘erasing bear’ that’s close to you blocked all of it! At one point, I couldn’t see the deck. I didn’t see where the Crow mask disappeared!”
The demon’s psychic wave became irregular, and his robe turned grey.
“There were 2 of the 12 zodiac clan heads nearby, so I couldn’t even raise the output of my ‘Third eye’! The deal with the pig is a complete failure. Although it was an unexpected gain that I saw the crow mask.”
The demon questioned Woong-nyeo of Bitan.
Woong-nyeo of Bitan, how did you know that Kang-ryup Jeo was going to lose today? And why did you make Kang-ryup Jeo like that?”
To the demon’s question, Woong-nyeo answered, clutching the hem of her red dress.
“Every time ‘he’ gets hurt, there’s a superior being who promised to tell me when, where, and why he got hurt.”
“He?”
“While I was wondering what to do after the superior being told me, the being gave me a hint.”
Because the item that the Crow mask was trying to use was linked to that superior being, thankfully Woong-nyeo was able to get a message from above.
She recalled the Crow mask, the Phantom of the Red Wall that made a promise with her for the life of Red Tiger.
But soon, instead of a crow mask, her red-eyed spouse filled her head.
“I wanted to return the pain he received. It’s more than enough with two beings, me and god of heavens, bothering him.”
The conversation ended with her words.
Before the demon could say anything, Woong-nyeo of Bitan said goodbye.
“So long, Mr. Priest.”
The demon still had many questions to ask her, but he decided to let her go, thinking that if he asked anything more, he might break his relationship with her.
Whoosh.
When she stepped on the surface of the sea with her red heels, she disappeared in an instant.
‘She said that she made the dress that hides her identity and the shoes that allow her to travel on sea herself. Amazing!’
It was indeed the work of the best item maker of all the Bear clan.
Thinking of the items she wore, the demon realized something.
‘She looks stunning in red. The color is so good on her, why doesn’t she usually wear it?’
Hoping that she would wear red the next time they met too, the demon played back the sights he saw today in his head.
Of the sights he saw today, the most memorable was the performance of a human being.
‘Crow mask…….’
The crow mask, who was merely a human, managed to get Kang-ryup Jeo and Sangboshimgeumpa.
And this process was watched by many demons, including himself.
The priest of Invidius muttered with an excited face.
“There will be many who will target the crow mask, now what will he do?”
* * *
I put the crow mask, voice modulator, and ripped clothes in the item window.
Then I changed into the tuxedo tailored by Neuroo and headed to the back of the ship, checking the information released by player SAT―K.
‘The biggest contributor is the ‘wedge of steel’ Won-woo Do?’
It’s not unusual for my playable character to be the biggest contributor, but something seemed strange.
‘There were Suhyuk’s master and Su-gyeom Joo in the attacking team, so it would have been difficult to make a contribution.’
Especially Suhyuk Joo’s cousin and senior of the same master, Su-gyeom Joo.
In the game, he used to be one of the few people Suhyuk had to fight with all his might to train.
My doubts were solved as soon as I arrived at the back of the ship.
“I’m sorry, because of me……!”
“It’s okay.”
“No you’re not, look at all that blood!”
Hye-ji was in a torn dress.
Su-gyeom’s shirt was stained with blood.
The ship’s doctor was taking a look at Su-gyeom.
When I saw them, I roughly guessed the situation.
‘ Su-gyeom Joo was injured while protecting Hye-ji Oh during the attack.’
Hye-ji Oh must have made a mistake because of the uncomfortable tea-length dress.
‘Where did Su-hyuk and Hyo-don go?’
Su-hyuk was not seen, but Hyo-don was soon found.
“So you move your psychic wave along with the flow of your chi through your stomach……”
Hyo-don was with this hanbok guy.
Hyo-don was listening to the Hanbok guy’s lecture with an expressionless face in a corner of the deck.
Seeing him like that, I could clearly picture him falling for weird cult member recruits on the streets.
“Hey.”
I talked to him while the guy had paused, and Hyo-don scrambled to me as if he was waiting for me.
“Vice-prez! What were you doing?”
Hyo-don complained that I didn’t come to the Other-world, but was glad to meet me.
He seemed tired of the hanbok guy’s lessons.
“If he wasn’t Suhyuk Joo’s acquaintance, I would’ve run away…… Ugh.”
Whip-!
“Wait, where are you going! You need to listen to this!”
The man in Hanbok did not give up and blocked Hyo-don’s path.
I didn’t know who he was, but his footsteps indicated that he was not just a normal person.
Hyo-don looked so sick of him.
“Tak hyung, what are you doing to the student.”
“No, I mean, I…….”
“This is a student who has just finished his attack on the Other-world. Even if you have something to say, you could tell him later.”
“You have a lot of good disciples, so you ain’t as desperate as I am!”
“Yes, yes. Let’s talk later. You students can go. We’ll take it from here, now.”
It was Master Kwak, the mentor of Suhyuk, who calmed the situation.
‘So this person was master Kwak’s friend?’
Mr. Tak seemed to be older than master Kwak, but master Kwak seemed more mature.
Mr. Tak’s gaze was still lingering on Hyo-don, but we were able to go to our cabin while master Kwak blocked him.
“If you get caught by people like him, say ‘I don’t believe in that.’ and run away.”
“What are you talking about?”
Suhyuk Joo joined us when I was telling Hyo-don about the obsessiveness of cults and people who solicit.
He said he went to meet his little cousin, Suri Joo.
“Suri looked a bit shocked by this incident, so I went to comfort her.”
In the game, Suri Joo was always depressed because of the hating comments of the baseball stadium incident.
Now, hearing Suhyuk’s words, she seemed to be growing up as an ordinary, pampered cousin sister.
As we approached the cabin, we saw Nam-wook and Si-hoo waiting for us in the hallway.
“You guys okay? Ui-shin, where were you? I was worried because the Anonymous Supernova wasn’t on the Other-world clearing list. Thank god you’re safe.”
“Well done, guys.”
Nam-wook started nagging as soon as he saw us.
Si-hoo’s seasickness seemed to have subsided and the color of the face had improved.
The two welcomed us into the cabin.
“So, another Other-world appearance without any foreshadow.”
Five of us, each perched on a sofa.
Suhyuk and Hyo-don played a great role as the defensive team for Other-world clearing, but we could not be simply happy about it.
“In the old days, there were no satellites at all, but humans persevered. We’ll get through it all somehow. Hahaha!”
“Not at all comforting to hear from this dude.”
“The Players’ Association is investigating, so sooner or later measures will come out.”
I couldn’t say on this spot, but the measures were certainly being prepared.
‘To-yeon observed the Villain’s “Summoning of the Other-world” again up close. Her skill’s precision should have gone up. If we get a technical partnership with the association, we can stop the villain’s moves completely.’
Then, the ship began to move at the same time the message sent by the captain arrived.
“Uh, the ship is moving. Where’s this going?”
“Return notice. We are going back to Incheon Port.”
“Oh well, we did have an unexpected Other-world encounter and natural emission of psychic waves. I did want to go to Juo island, though.”
“The ship will move and rock again.”
Si-hoo already seemed seasick and wanting to die.
Si-hoo lay in bed and could not move, but the remaining four talked all night until we reached Incheon Port.
The main topic was the Enemy hunting of Suhyuk and Hyo-don.
The two told the saga of killing Enemies by using their Gwanglims.
‘They are indeed the most strongest close-range type characters.’
Nam-wook Jang listened carefully and asked questions here and there, even if he felt sorry to miss out on such things.
Listening to their experience will help him, too.
‘Nam-wook directed the mass game without a small mistake in front of many generals. If he shakes off his fear of Enemies, he’ll be a good player.’
When the topic of the conversation changed to “Why did Ui-shin not appear,” I struggled to make an excuse, but it was a good experience to spend the night sailing through the night sea.
When we arrived at Incheon Port, the day was beginning.
At the request of the Association, the players involved in the attack went to the Association and the rest were allowed to go home.
“Let’s really go to Juo island next time. I’ll invite you guys.”
“Let’s all go together during the summer holidays! This member plus more!”
“Si-hoo, we’ll have to go by ship again, will you be okay?”
As we reached the ground, Si-hoo began to plan the trip.
The only weakness of that easygoing guy may be seasickness.
‘Let’s take an air taxi.’
Hyo-don was going to the association, so I had to go to school alone.
I headed to the air taxi station after saying goodbye to the guys.
“I was waiting for you.”
In front of the air limousine.
Myung-ho Hwang’s secretary stood there, smiling robotic-like.
“Golden Tiger told me to bring you to the mansion.”
I don’t want to go.
However, there was a lot to talk about.
But my thoughts had not been sorted out yet, and I was tired of using too much psychic power.
In addition, I didn’t sleep a wink, and Jiho was angry when I parted with him.
‘Why can’t I see him tomorrow?’
I was wondering how to move this meeting to tomorrow.
The secretary added a word, as if he had read my thoughts.
“Shinsu is waiting.”
“Let’s go.”
I climbed right into the air limo.
