161 – Disaster (1)
Eastern United Clan Office.
“…This is.”
“I told you, didn’t I? You guys only have to receive.”
Lawton looked at the jet-black jewels that Loria had given him in the office.
The jewels, which did not merely have a black hue but rather had an ominous jet-black shimmer, looked extremely dangerous even at a glance.
“…Is this, the void?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh.”
Lawton chuckled and picked up one of the jewels scattered on the office desk.
Void.
An otherworldly power that exists in the abyss, and at the same time, a monstrous power that erases everything it touches. Lawton stared blankly at it.
“Well, I’ll be going now.”
“…Are you sure there’s no price to pay?”
“That’s why~ I told you over and over again, didn’t I? I have something to give.”
“…”
Lawton looked at Loria with an expression that said he didn’t believe her at all, but she didn’t seem to care about that gaze and instead smiled.
“Well, whether you believe it or not, that’s irrelevant, but use it well. It’s something I don’t have much of either. You know how to use it, right?”
With those words, Loria disappeared as if she had nothing more to say.
“…”
Lawton, who soon looked at Loria, who had disappeared from the spot, slightly frowned as he looked at the voids below his office.
‘What are you thinking?’
Of course, it was Lawton who accepted Loria’s offer, but he still didn’t understand why Loria was helping the Celestials so much.
‘Even that void.’
Lawton looked at the void on the floor.
The void, which seemed to be more than a dozen, was a power that the beings of the other world often used and at the same time, a power that became the subject.
In other words, it means that with this alone, it is possible to produce the power used by the beings of the other world to a limited extent.
Of course, it was impossible to use it at will because the power was contained in the jewel, but it was possible to transfer this power to the weapon as it was.
In other words, Loria’s actions were like giving additional strength to the Celestials so that they would not perish.
Lawton, who made an expression that he couldn’t understand no matter how he thought about it, since the Celestials and the beings of the other world would have to fight again for the supremacy of this intermediate world after the Outer God died.
‘…Well, okay, I’ll move as you want for now.’
In the end, he grabbed the blue stone with the Void Stone tightly and thought so.

Kim Hyun-woo learned about the feelings that all of Lartania’s former heroes had for him after releasing the limit.
However, just because he understood those feelings properly didn’t mean he intended to accept the heroes’ feelings as they were.
Rather, it was the opposite.
Kim Hyun-woo tried not to respond to heroes no matter how bluntly they expressed their feelings.
The reason, of course, was that there were players who had acted that way and failed before entering Arteiel, but it was also because Kim Hyun-woo knew all too well the dangers of such human relationships.
Of course, he didn’t think there would be a problem from the beginning.
If Kim Hyun-woo had accepted the heroes’ feelings as they were without knowing or avoiding them, the atmosphere might not have been bad at first.
Rather, if he had taken the initiative and managed the relationship between the heroes well, the situation might not have been bad in its own way.
However, the problem is that it is only the first case.
No matter how fairly Kim Hyun-woo tries to share love with all the heroes, it is impossible and it will soon lead to discord.
And once that discord came, there was nothing Kim Hyun-woo could do to control it, no matter how hard he tried.
Because he couldn’t control the heroes’ minds.
Of course, if he had chosen one of the heroes and married her, he could have been freed from this situation, but that was not what Kim Hyun-woo wanted.
With Loria’s conspiracy and the Celestials about to attack Lartania, it wasn’t a good thing to lose the heroes who had just returned.
In other words, from Kim Hyun-woo’s point of view, maintaining the current situation was the right choice to maintain Lartania’s power.
When playing the game called Arteiel.
Even after entering Arteiel.
“…”
Kim Hyun-woo looked at Merilda.
Her red eyes, illuminated by the moonlight, were looking at Kim Hyun-woo.
Her face was flushed red in contrast to her snow-white skin, and her lips were trembling with a sense of liberation and anxiety, and her two hands, which were gently spread out around her chest, were waiting for his answer.
Looking at her, Kim Hyun-woo heard his heart pounding.
His heart was beating like crazy, as if he had never beaten like this before, telling him to reach out to her right now.
He was kissing her, touching her chest and acting on instinct, sending signals over and over again.
However, what truly immobilizes Hyunwoo Kim is a single thread of reason.
Reason, which violently informs him that once he does the deed here and now, there is no going back, is holding Hyunwoo Kim back.
“…I…”
Hyunwoo Kim opens his mouth to speak but unknowingly closes it again.
He spends those few short seconds rigorously examining whether it is right for him to say this now.
And then.
“…Mi…”
Just as Hyunwoo Kim grabs onto that last thread of reason and attempts to speak, Merilda suddenly places her index finger on his lips.
Hyunwoo Kim looks at Merilda with a surprised expression.
But Merilda has already drawn closer to Hyunwoo Kim’s face.
“I know, Master… It must be hard to talk right now, isn’t it?”
She says as she gently wraps her tail around Hyunwoo Kim’s waist.
“You don’t have to give me an answer, Master.”
Smooch-
Merilda’s lips cover Hyunwoo Kim’s once more.
Unlike the previous seemingly tense kiss, this time, Merilda slowly and leisurely explores the inside of Hyunwoo Kim’s mouth.
“Haa…”
She pulls away once more and looks at Hyunwoo Kim.
Her eyes filled with unconcealable affection.
“You know, Master. No matter what happens today, we’ll still be the same.”
“…We won’t be the same…”
Hyunwoo Kim denies.
“No, we will be the same. Master, we will… We will still be in the same relationship, as Master and I… I don’t want to see Master suffer.”
Merilda, however, responds with an unwavering gaze.
“So, let’s do this.”
“…Master has to take good care of his pet, doesn’t he?”
Merilda takes Hyunwoo Kim’s hand and places it on her chest, then gently caresses Hyunwoo Kim’s face.
“Today, I’m in heat… So Master… I want you to… relieve me.”
She says and then.
“…Meow♥”
She whispers as she looks up at Hyunwoo Kim.
And then.
Hyunwoo Kim could no longer hold back.

The next morning.
“…Ugh…”
Hyunwoo Kim opens his eyes with the sensation that all the energy in his body has been sucked out.
Feeling utterly drained of strength, Hyunwoo Kim blankly wonders what happened for a moment before he begins to recall yesterday’s events as if an electronic device were loading.
“Ah.”
After a short while, Hyunwoo Kim remembers everything that happened last night and looks to the side.
“Master, are you awake?”
Merralda was looking at him with eyes full of bliss.
“…Merralda.”
“Yes, Master.”
“…You look refreshed. You were up until dawn yesterday.”
“That’s nothing to me…!”
Merralda, who was speaking with a smile, hugged Kim Hyun-woo, who had just woken up.
…The tail naturally wrapped around his waist like when she was biting him yesterday.
Then, looking at Kim Hyun-woo who had an expression like he had done something wrong, Merralda said:
“Don’t worry too much, Master. Master just solved my needs. Our relationship hasn’t changed.”
“Ugh.” Merralda, who bit Kim Hyun-woo’s collarbone lightly, said with affectionate eyes:
“So I’ll work a little harder. To get into Master’s heart.”
“…”
Kim Hyun-woo, who was looking at Merralda as she stared at him, opened his mouth with a slightly complicated feeling.
But-
Creak-!
Unfortunately, Kim Hyun-woo’s words were completely cut off by the person who suddenly opened the door-
“Ahem, oh, don’t misunderstand. I just came to check because you weren’t in the office until so late.”
“Why do you keep making useless excuses?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“…As I said, I’m in charge of the Lord’s aide, so I should have just said that I would go…”
-No, it was completely cut off by the people.
“Ah.”
“Huh?”
“Ah…”
“Det…?”
“♥”
Elena, the hero king, and Lynn, who came to see the condition because Kim Hyun-woo came to work so late, froze on the spot.
HOLY SHII, HE BANG HER? LETSGOOOOO
