Episode 72: Traitors (3)
“I’m kidding.”
The turbulent life suddenly came to an end. Maria Sanchez raised her hands. The distended body returned to its original state.
“What is this again?”
Joo Ha-yeon did not let go of her guard. Maria Sanchez sat down on the ledge of the roof as if she was serious.
“All I have been asked to do is hold you back. Fighting with you here is not worth it.”
Maria Sanchez let out a deep sigh.
“Besides, this is the work of the Heukcheon Group, right? If you interfere, you will lose Chuck with the Heukcheon group… … Am I crazy?”
Maria Sanchez said, slapping the seat next to her with the palm of her hand.
“So you sit here and rest too.”
Joo Ha-yeon glared at Maria Sanchez.
I wanted to help Gwon-ul as soon as possible. But it was clear that Maria Sanchez would not stand still.
“Don’t think otherwise. You know that? You can’t beat me.”
“We can die together.”
“That’s right. But do you really have to do it here? Tired of each other.”
Joo Ha-yeon also took her life. Instead of sitting next to Maria Sanchez, I sat on the railing across from her.
“huh? Are you really still?”
“Then shall we fight?”
“I also thought you would be restless worrying about that man.”
“If it’s Kwon Han-ul, you have nothing to worry about.”
“Oh oh… … You are full of confidence. Are you afraid that he will also hear Heukchun’s name and withdraw?”
“It’s not like that.”
“I’m glad. Actually, Ferdrance hates high-ranking blood relatives.”
Maria Sanchez put on a pitying expression.
“He has a good head, and his skills are also good. My thoughts get shorter when I only meet high-ranking blood relatives. I couldn’t make the best decision. Maybe your man will die.”
“I don’t think that’s anything to worry about.”
Joo Ha-yeon cut it off. María Sanchez put on an expression of displeasure.
“I ask you one thing. Why did Ferdrance attack the Takimine family? I don’t understand why you’re doing this for just one artifact.”
“Oh, that? Actually, I didn’t come here because of the artifact. It’s because of the metamorphosis.”
Joo Ha-yeon frowned, as if asking what that meant.
“Wankol metamorphosis?”
“Ferdrance has been stagnant for a long time. That’s why I heard this offer while looking for a way to reach a higher level.”
Hunters can grow endlessly through the status window.
Actually, this is wrong. Even if there is a status window, there is a growth limit line for each hunter.
Simply put, in order to obtain S-class abilities, you must consume a great elixir.
However, not everyone can obtain such an elixir.
If you have excellent skills, you may be able to get it by clearing dangerous dungeons, but if not, you will be stagnant forever.
In that way, a time comes when Hunter cannot do anything.
“That kid is so stupid. If you obsess over things like that, you won’t be able to become stronger.”
Maria Sanchez sighed in pity.
* * *
At Kwon Hu-don’s declaration that he would not eat poison, everyone reacted with amazement.
“What bullsh*t! didn’t you just hear? Will I die if I don’t eat this?”
Rockbreaker threatened Kwon Hudon.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Is it because you’re afraid to eat poison? Eating this doesn’t hurt at all. Ferdrance-sama said that as long as you take the antidote on time, you will be fine.”
“It’s not because of the poison.”
Kwon Hu-don trembled and spoke with difficulty.
“I-I am stupid.”
“Oh, I know.”
At Rockbreaker’s words, Kwon Hu-don was shocked for a moment. But he didn’t stop talking.
“Ooh, stupid… … Every day, I always disappoint my mother… … ha, but… … .”
Kwon Hu-don clenched his fists tightly.
“I, too, am a blood relative of the Dark Heaven.”
That’s why you can’t give in. I can’t beg for my life That was Kwon Hudon’s choice.
“… … her.”
Rockbreaker laughed.
“Why is your tongue so long? So you’re saying you want to die now?”
At the same time as the words, Rockbreaker caused a life.
Although he lost to Ferdrance, Rock Breaker is a world ranking player.
Kwon Hu-don, who was exposed to his murderous actions, fell into the illusion that his skin was being cut.
“Good. It wasn’t once or twice that I was annoyed by your cowardly behavior. At this chance… … .”
“for a moment.”
At that time, Ferdrance stopped Rockbreaker.
“Did you say Kwon Hu-don? You have a lot of strength. It’s like the pure blood of the Black Sky.”
Kwon Hu-don looked at him with a puzzled face. I couldn’t understand why the enemy suddenly praised himself.
“Ah, wasn’t it normal pureblood? Kwon Mi-ji, whose mother is famous for being a communicative Heuk-cheon, right?”
“No, that’s right.”
“It’s a position that can be said to be a direct descendant of the president. Come to think of it, this is a pretty big deal.”
Ferdrance was amused, talking to himself, chatting with himself.
“Rockbreaker.”
“yes.”
“Make sure to subdue that guy.”
Ferdrance pointed to Kwon Hu-don and said.
“Make me crawl on the floor begging you to save me. Let yourself be poisoned. Got it?”
“To kill cleanly that day… … .”
“Are you not going to follow my orders?”
Ferdrance’s voice became grim. Rockbreaker hurriedly shook his head.
“Oh no! Hey boss! Did you hear this now?”
Rockbreaker clenched his fists and approached Kwon Hudon.
– Wait, stop!
At that time, a voice came from the crystal necklace Kwon Hudon was wearing.
Ferdrance immediately recognized the face emerging from the crystal. He said with a twinkle in his eyes.
“Kwon Mi. Nice to meet you.”
– Nice to meet you. Ferdrance.
Kwon Mi’s face, which appeared to be crystal, looked very calm. However, the pale skin and trembling voice told me that everything was acting.
– I fully understand the situation. Dark Heaven won’t bother you anymore.
“That means… … You mean you’ll just watch me kill Ryoko Takamine?”
-that’s right. Instead, Hudon… … Just let this kid go.
Ferdrance glanced at Takamine Ryoko.
To my dismay, Ryoko Takamine didn’t react much when she heard this.
-If you just let Hudon go, I will never forget this grace.
“That sounds like a pretty attractive proposition.”
Ferdrance looked at Kwon Hu-don and said.
“But wouldn’t it be much more certain to just feed the latent poison?”
At those words, Kwon Mi’s face went blank for a moment.
-you! At least lay a finger on my son! I will chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you!
“You do whatever you want.
-Ferdrance!
Kwon Mi shouted, but to no avail. Rockbreaker was already moving towards Kwon Hudon.
– Houdon! Just drink the poison!
As the situation progressed unexpectedly, Kwon Mi changed her mind.
-It’s okay to do anything, just stay alive! Then mom will definitely save you! got it?
“… … Mom, I’m sorry.”
– What do you mean by that! Don’t be silly, listen to mom now!
“Your mother said it. Whatever happens, don’t lose the pride of the Black Sky.”
At those words, Kwon Mi was speechless.
It was simply a word he said to reassure Kwon Hu-don. It was never meant seriously.
“Then I will not give in.”
Black scales wrapped around Kwon Hudon’s body. The second power of the Black Dragon Blood was Heukrin Gap.
But the amount was insignificant.
Originally, black lingaps consume a lot of mana, so it is difficult to maintain them. That’s why most of the clans of the Black Sky only partially created and used them.
However, Kwon Hu-don covered his entire body with only black armor. It was like wearing black armor.
“… … oh?”
Ferdrance briefly exclaimed.
“Come to think of it, wasn’t that an ordinary pureblood?”
All people in the Black Sky have Black Dragon Blood.
However, the power obtained through Black Dragon Blood is not equal.
I’m not talking about the purity of blood. Even within the same purity, there is a clear gap. And among them, there were people who were particularly strong in certain powers.
Kwon Hu-don was like that.
He was born with a great aptitude for the black lingap. The performance, maintenance time, and amount that can be created of the black lingap.
He was superior to any pure-blood relative.
“He is coming.”
Kwon Hu-don moved. The figure of him rushing forward while wearing black armor was no different from a small chariot.
“Rockbreaker, step back. I’ll have to see how the other guys do it.”
Ferdrance gave the order. Rockbreaker backed away and the rest of the team stepped forward.
“Captain, do you really want to fight us?”
“Then what if my nose bleeds?”
Kwon Hu-don’s teammates were busy laughing at him.
I know him well because I watched Kwon Hu-don right next to him. What a coward and what a pitiful man he is.
“I wanted to blow it up nicely once in a while.”
A team member with a sledgehammer stepped forward. He swung his hammer with all his might toward the running Gwon-ul.
And he himself bounced off and flew away.
“uh?”
“huh?”
The team members’ faces went blank for an instant. Everyone panicked and backed away.
“Hey, wait!”
“Huh, scatter!”
Kwon Hu-don ran straight ahead as if he didn’t care about his teammates. The collided teammates flew around like bowling pins.
“The weak ones.”
Ferdrance made a pitiful expression. said to the living dolls.
“You guys have to step in.”
One of the live puppets jumped toward Kwon Hu-don. fists at the same time.
The doll’s fist struck Kwon Hu-don. At that moment, the cellar shook.
For the first time, Kwon Hu-don stopped moving. But it was only for a short time.
“Aww!”
Kwon Hu-don shouted and kicked the ground again. The frozen body exploded and blew away the live doll.
“… … .”
Ferdrance put on a puzzled expression. It was unexpectedly destructive.
“What is Kwon Hu-don’s ability level?”
“Only mana is S-class.”
“But where did you get that much power… … .”
Stop talking, Ferdrance realized.
It’s a black glove.
He wasn’t just using the black armor as a defensive tool. It was fluidized like a muscle, and the rushing power was strengthened several times.
“It should be called a reinforced exoskeleton, not armor.”
Kwon Hu-don narrowed the distance with Ferdrance by pushing the dolls. The moment he came close, he started fighting for dragons.
“aaa!”
He wrapped himself in dragon fighting. In addition to Kwon Hu-don’s rushing power, even dragon fighting was added. It was a missile-like attack.
but.
Rockbreaker moved. He threw both fists at Kwon Hu-don at the same time.
A wild explosion hit Kwon Hudon’s body. The black lingap was shattered.
“Ah!”
The explosion that shattered the Black Rin Gap also engulfed Kwon Hu-don. Kwon Hu-don screamed and flew back.
Kwon Hu-don’s body rolled on the ground.
“Cool, cool… … .”
Kwon Hu-don coughed repeatedly. Still, the pain didn’t go away.
Due to the impact of the explosion, the entire body’s skin was scorched black like charcoal. The abdomen, which had been beaten with fists, was covered in blood as if it had been crushed with a mortar.
“I guess this was too much for my hands.”
Rockbreaker looked down at Kwon Hudon and mocked him.
“But it is a bit disappointing. To think that the clans of the Dark Heavens could only fall out in one blow. The boss is garbage. Or are the rumors exaggerated?”
Kwon Hu-don lifted his head with difficulty. I asked the rockbreaker.
“Wait, what the heck… … why… … .”
It was a question with many implications. Why did you betray so easily? And you can use your hands like this without hesitation.
But Rockbreaker didn’t answer. Instead, he kicked Kwon Hudon in the stomach. Kwon Hu-don flew to the wall behind him.
“why? Why?”
Rockbreaker was annoyed. Like what are you talking about?
“Would you write if I asked you something stupid like that?”
Rockbreaker moved on. Even as he approached, Kwon Hu-don was scratching the floor with his hands in agony.
“Captain, stop talking nonsense and choose quickly. Will you kill me here? or not… … .”
Rockbreaker spread his arms. I saw the live dolls and team members.
“Swallow the poison like them and follow my words.”
Kwon Hu-don gritted his teeth. I forced myself to stand up and clenched my fists.
Rockbreaker burst into laughter.
“He was a nobleman with a very good temper. uh?”
Rockbreaker punched Kwon Hudon in the face. Kwon Hu-don was hit in the face and took a step back. But there was a wall behind me, so I couldn’t retreat any further.
“Ask again. will drink I won’t drink!”
Rockbreaker began hitting Kwon Hu-don all over the body. Kwon Hu-don was driven against the wall and was only beaten.
“Make a decision quickly!”
Rockbreaker’s punch hit Kwon Hudon’s leg. Kwon Hudon’s eyes turned upside down and his body collapsed to the ground.
“Cool, cool… … .”
Kwon Hu-don coughed intermittently. Her face, which was so tender that even a teenager could believe it, had turned bloody.
“Are you not going to listen to me? uh?”
Even after seeing that face, Rockbreaker did not stop. He kicked Kwon Hu-don’s torso and drove him.
However, Kwon Hu-don did not give the answer Rock Breaker wanted in the end.
“It’s less fun than I thought.”
Ferdrance muttered in a low voice. Masataka Nomura, who was next to him, asked him.
“How long do I have to wait? Kill Takamine Ryoko quickly.”
“The prey is already caught in a trap. What are you so afraid of?”
“hey!”
“Yes, I understand.”
Ferdrance approached Ryoko Takamine with a troubled face.
You could command the doll, but since it was an important target, I wanted to kill it myself.
“Miss Ryoko Takamine.”
Takamine Ryoko moved her gaze. It was a calm looking face.
Ferdrance’s eyebrows twitched slightly. I didn’t like how he remained calm even in the face of death.
“Miss Takamine. You die now.”
So I stimulated Ryoko Takamine even though I knew it was useless.
“I guess so.”
“Aren’t you scared?”
“It’s scary.”
“The attitude doesn’t seem that way.”
“Because there’s nothing to change by expressing yourself.”
Ferdrance liked this woman, but was annoyed.
I liked how he was calm even though he knew he was going to die. But he didn’t like being indifferent to himself.
I wanted to get rid of this mask somehow.
“If you want, the lady, on the contrary, I can kill the hospital director and that woman.”
Ferdrance said in a calm voice.
Even if you can transcend people and death, you can’t do that in front of the hope of life.
I had no doubt that this one word would reveal Ryoko Takamine’s inner feelings.
but.
“are you okay.”
Takamine Ryoko too easily turned down his offer.
“… … Are you okay?”
“I don’t need your help. He will come soon.”
him?
A question appeared on Ferdrance’s face.
Who the hell can help this woman in this situation?
* * *
“no! No kid!”
Headquarters of Heukcheon Group.
There, Kwon Mi was screaming.
“Houdon! no! Hudon!”
The crystal ball on the desk showed his son being brutally beaten.
“No, you have to stop!”
But to whom?
Who could help his son when all the team members betrayed him?
“… … Kwonwool.”
Kwon-mi hurriedly picked up the phone. I called Gwonwool.
Fortunately, the phone was quickly connected.
“Hello!”
Kwon Mi urgently shouted.
– Aunt, I think you dialed the wrong number. I will pretend not to hear this call.
Intuition warned. Kwon Mi quickly shouted.
“Shut up, don’t hang up! Now, you didn’t bet it wrong! It’s right on you!”
Soon after, a curious question came.
– You’re not mistaken?
From noble mtl dot com.
“I don’t have time to relax like this right now! Huh, go Hudon! Houdon is in danger!”
-What do you mean by that… … .
“Rockbreaker, that bastard… … That guy is Hudon… … .”
Cries broke out. he said, forcing himself to endure it.
“If we stay like this, our Hudonie will die!”
The phone went quiet. There was no time to think about what to think.
“Hoo, I’ll tell you where Hudon is! Ferdrance is there too! Never go alone! Be sure to be with Hayeon… … .”
-How does your aunt know all that?
It was a cold voice like an ice awl.
At that moment, Kwon Mi realized that she had stepped on a mine.
“that is… … .”
-Please start with the answer. How do you know? There’s no way Hudon informed me on the phone in the middle of that.
Kwon Mi had no choice but to tell everything.
Normally, I would have found a way to evade it. However, now that Kwon Hu-don’s life was in danger, he could not afford to do that.
After hearing all the stories, Gwon-ul laughed.
-So you were using that artifact to see everything?
“that’s right… … .”
-Then you must have known that Rockbreaker disregarded my orders and acted on his own, right? But didn’t you stop?
“Ha, Hanul, that’s… … .”
– Come to think of it, Kwon Hu-don’s participation in this mission was also ordered by your aunt, right? But I didn’t know that you would interfere with me.
Normally, I would have screamed again, “What kind of nonsense is that?”
However, he couldn’t do such a thing in a situation where his child’s life was at stake.
“I… … i’m sorry for everything Sorry. don’t do this again So please, Hudon… … , as much as Hudon… … .”
-I can’t.
Kwon-wool cut it off.
“Ha, Hanul… … uh, what do you mean by that?”
-Think of what your aunt did. Why do I have to listen to my aunt’s request after all this has happened?
“Okay, I was wrong. Ha, but Hudon is innocent. It’s all my fault.”
– I’ll just hang up.
“for a moment! wait for a sec!”
All right, the phone hung up. Kwon Mi screamed.
“no. no. no!”
Kwon Mi called again. did not receive
I called again. Didn’t get it this time either.
“please please!”
Still, Kwon-mi kept calling like a madman.
Then, suddenly, the phone was connected. Kwon Kwon-ul’s gruff voice came over the phone.
– It’s noisy, so stop calling.
“Hanul! please! please… … !”
-I’m busy, so I’ll hang up.
Kwon Mi’s face darkened with despair. At that time, a word from Kwon Wol pierced her ear.
-From now on, I’m busy because I have to use both hands.
two hands?
A question popped into Kwon Mi’s mind. Immediately after that, a roar was heard on the phone.
* * *
Stopped Rockbreaker’s punches.
Intuition has warned me. The reason was unknown. I just had a vaguely foreboding feeling.
“… … stomach?”
Rockbreaker looked up at the ceiling. Immediately after that, a tremendous shock shook the hideout.
“What, what?”
There was the sound of something collapsing. After that, another roar erupted.
Not once. heard continuously. The sound started getting louder.
No, it didn’t grow.
“It’s getting closer… … .”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entrance to the stairs was smashed. Thick stone fragments bounced in all directions.
“Whoa.”
In the meantime, someone walked out.
“They are all gathered here.”
Gwon-ul looked around at people’s faces and said.
“It’s the first time I see your face. Is that Ferdrance?”
“You are an imaginative friend. I got it right.”
Ferdrance looked at Kwon Wool with an interesting face.
“How did you know about this place?”
“Ah, ask questions later.”
Gwon-ul turned around. I looked at Rockbreaker.
“What you looking at?”
Rockbreaker frowned and spat out a word.
Suddenly, Gwonwool leaped forward and threw a fist. The fist went straight into Rockbreaker’s chin.
Rockbreaker’s head spun in shock. The strength in both legs was gone.
In that short moment, Gwon-ul took another stance.
Hyeonryong Ascension Heaven Basic Form
Bounce type spiral wave
Gwonwool’s fist dug into Rockbreaker’s abdomen.
“Keoouk!”
A choking sound came from Rockbreaker’s mouth. But this wasn’t the end.
The Ryomagi that was released blew away the Rock Breaker and the entire wall. The wall collapsed and Rockbreaker’s body was buried.
Kwon-wool wiped the sweat from his forehead and made a refreshing expression.
“I feel a little relieved now.”
