Chapter 329 . Ten Days (1)

“Let me introduce him . He’s my friend, Black Lotus . ”

Jin Sahyuk said as she grabbed Black Lotus by his collar . Black Lotus immediately threw her a sharp gaze, and Chae Nayun looked back and forth between Jin Sahyuk and Black Lotus .

“…Black Lotus?”

Chae Nayun muttered quietly .

Kim Hajin still kept his mouth shut . Now that the Art that allowed him to change his voice was gone, he feared there was a chance he might be discovered if he talked .

Staring fixedly at Black Lotus, Chae Nayun asked in a stiff tone .

“Oi, why did you invite a thief?”

“Hm?”

Jin Sahyuk tilted her head .

“What thief? Isn’t he a legend to you?”

“Legend my ass . Now that I think about it, Jin Sahyuk, you’re with the Chameleon Troupe! Like Cheok Jungyeong that bastard… .

Jin Sahyuk smirked at Chae Nayun’s aggressive tone .

“Think what you want . ”

Jin Sahyuk let go of Black Lotus’s collar . Black Lotus promptly took a step back .

Jin Sahyuk said to Chae Nayun, “Alright, well I have something to discuss with Lotus . ”

“…Go ahead . ”

Surprisingly, Chae Nayun left the room with protest .

Kwang—!

She purposely shut the door hard, but it was obvious she intended to eavesdrop from the other side . After all, a mere wall shouldn’t be able to block her sharp hearing if she focused .

“Now then… . ”

Jin Sahyuk must have noticed Chae Nayun’s intentions too . But with a mischievous smile, she continued on from before .

“Are you going to kill Yi Yeonjun?”

“… . ”

Kim Hajin didn’t answer her . Jin Sahyuk stole a glance at the door and continued .

“Yi Yeonjun is trying to become Baal by succeeding the position of the incarnation body . But if that crazy bastard returns to Earth as Baal, it’s obvious what will happen to it . He’s far more evil than Bell will ever be . ”

Yi Yeonjun was without doubt the most evil human being Jin Sahyuk knew . He was someone whose very root of existence was pure evil .

Jin Sahyuk knew this . That Yi Yeonjun was currently infatuated with Baal .

“So… Lotus, are you going to kill Yi Yeonjun? Or… . ”

Jin Sahyuk paused for a moment . The corner of her lips twisted up .

“Will you let Kim Hajin kill him?”

“… . ”

…Brrrr .

Both Kim Hajin and Jin Sahyuk felt someone’s presence outside the room . It was obviously Chae Nayun .

Jin Sahyuk glanced at the door once more and continued .

“You should know what this means . It doesn’t matter which one of you kills Yi Yeonjun, but one of you must do it . ”

Kill Yi Yeonjun yourself— That was what Jin Sahyuk was saying .

“But if I were to guess… I’d say Kim Hajin will be the one to kill him . ”

Jin Sahyuk sniggered and released her magic power . It slowly wrapped around Kim Hajin’s body, but as it carried no hostility or killing intent, Kim Hajin stayed still .

Jin Sahyuk opened her mouth in that state .

“If you look at it from a bigger picture, it’s Yi Yeonjun’s fault that Kim Hajin had no choice but to kill Chae Jinyoon . ”

“…What?”

Jin Sahyuk’s sudden nonsensical comment was one that Kim Hajin couldn’t ignore . His eyes immediately shot open, and shock emerged from his pupils .

“Like I said, if you look at it from a bigger picture . ”

Jin Sahyuk said mischievously . But their conversation was forced to a stop then . Chae Nayun, who was eavesdropping from the outside, burst into the room again .

Kwang—!

The door opened roughly . Chae Nayun was glaring at them with a shocked expression .

“Hey! What did you mean by—”

But Kim Hajin couldn’t hear the rest of her sentence .

Woong… .

When Jin Sahyuk activated her Reality Manipulation, her magic power stuck to Kim Hajin reacted . Chwaaaa— A brilliant light shot out .

Kim Hajin closed his eyes momentarily before opening them again . Surprisingly, he found himself standing in the middle of a forest .

“…?”

Jin Sahyuk had teleported him far away from Chae Nayun .

[Korea, Seoul]

After the opening of the Demon Realm Gate, large-scale calamities descended one after the other .

First, Demon Realm Transformation sped up rapidly . Previously, it was confined to Manchu and the Ural Mountain Range . Now, it had spread to Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and Northern Europe . Over 20% of Earth became corrupted .

Of course, humanity didn’t just sit around and wait .

Researchers around the world discovered that mana stones delayed the progress of Demon Realm Transformation . Next, with the power of [Dimensional Entropy], Essential Dynamics succeeded in creating more mana stones . As a result, the speed of Demon Realm transformation diminished noticeably .

However, another problem arose due to Djinns and demons .

When Pandemonium partially went through Demon Realm Transformation, demons took over the land, and the Djinns that were chased out went into human society, causing chaos .

The politically moderate argued that ‘Djinns served different devils, and there were non-hostile Djinns who served non-hostile devils’ . They encouraged distinction between evil and non-evil Djinns, but their opponents argued that Djinns were fundamental evildoers who belonged in prison .

And so, the current political climate was charged with chaos and anger .

[Tower of Heroes], the headquarter of the Hero Association .

“… . ”

“… . ”

Two noble guests, Chae Joochul and Heynckes, were staring at each other . Chae Joochul was just as expressionless as always, while Heynckes shrugged his shoulders as if he had nothing more to say .

“Are you finished?”

A gentle voice flowed into their ears . Chae Joochul and Heynckes both turned to the direction of the voice .

Standing there was a woman who had died once but now had revived .

“I can leave then, right?”

The first Descender – Medea .

She didn’t cower in the slightest in front of Chae Joochul and Heynckes, two of Earth’s strongest fighters . In fact, she treated them like children and laughed at their actions .

“What kind of life do you plan on leading from now?”

Chae Joochul stopped Medea and asked .

Medea stared at Chae Joochul, as if she were looking at a cute puppy, and touched her lips with her finger .

“Let me think… Since I’m the first Descender… . ”

The First Descender . Medea liked this title . Athena, Lü Bu, and others were looking for opportunities to descend, but she knew they were far from ready .

“I’m going to live beautifully . I heard Seoul is the richest and most powerful city . So I’m going to build a huge mansion in Seoul . I’ll have my workshop in the basement and have about a hundred servants serving me . ”

“… . ”

“… . ”

Chae Joochul and Heynckes exchanged glances once again . For someone who was called a witch, the lifestyle she wished for seemed too simple .

Once the brief exchange between the two men was over, Heynckes opened his mouth .

“We can do that much for you . But—”

“By the way, when will you two stop using casual speech? I’m a couple thousand years older, you know?”

Medea furrowed her brows unhappily .

With a peeved look, Heynckes nodded his head .

“…We can grant you that . But, will you be willing to help us in return?”

Heynckes didn’t argue and used polite speech with her . A smile immediately bloomed on Medea’s face .

“You’re saying the same thing as that man . ”

Heynckes furrowed his brows .

“That man?”

“Ah, you don’t need to know . He’s far more delicate and valuable than you two . ”

“… . ”

Hearing this, even Chae Joochul frowned a little . Neither him nor Heynckes could think of any man who would fit that description .

“Well, anyways . ”

Medea smirked .

“Don’t worry about that . I don’t want the world I’m going to live in to be dirtied either . ”

She spun around and flapped her ceremonial dress . This heavenly dress was the epitome of perfection, crafted by the successor of the dwarves, Kim Hajin .

“My true name is Medea . As an ancient demigod and a sorceress, I shall lend you my strength . ”

Immediately, suppressed magic power rose up from Medea’s body . Her insurmountable magic power swirled inside the room .

“… . ”

“… . ”

In that instant, both Chae Joochul and Heynckes stared at each other .

Heynckes said with his eyes, ‘Looks like things worked out, friend . ’

Chae Joochul replied with his eyes, ‘Indeed . ’

It was a very Chae Joochul-like response .

[Transnational Peace Conference D-10]

Only ten days were left until the Transnational Peace Conference . I looked out of the window of the director’s office and sighed . Birds flew in the clear, blue sky . Everything seemed peaceful .

“…Haa . ”

But my mind was far from peaceful . I recovered my strength and reclaimed my equipment, including the Godslaying Bullet, yet my worries stayed with me .

Both Baal and what Jin Sahyuk said lingered in my head .

—If you look at it from a bigger picture, it’s Yi Yeonjun’s fault that Kim Hajin had no choice but to kill Chae Jinyoon .

Why did Jin Sahyuk say that? Was it just to provoke me and Chae Nayun? Or did she hear something from Bell?

I managed to find out Yi Yeonjun’s relationship with Boss thanks to Yoo Jinhyuk, but there was still a lot I didn’t know about Yi Yeonjun .

What could Chae Nayun be thinking about right now?

What could she have talked about with Jin Sahyuk that day?

I was curious, but Chae Nayun had cut off communication with me .

“Is something on your mind?”

Harin asked at that moment .

I turned my head and glanced at Harin . Under the false name of ‘Yurin’, she had joined the Secret Service four days ago . In other words, she was now my subordinate .

“No, it’s nothing . What about you? Are you feeling better?”

“Yes, except that I still can’t get used to my name . ”

Harin laughed out loud . I smiled bitterly and nodded my head .

“The Transnational Peace Conference is in ten days, but don’t worry too much . ”

Harin calmed me down . Frankly, having her with me really was relieving . She wasn’t a half-assed devil hunter like me, but a real one inheriting the lineage of exorcists . She was sure to be a valuable asset in combating Baal .

“I’ll leave it to you, Harin-ssi . ”

“…Mm, but I can’t get used to having you be my superior . You used to be the one protecting me . ”

“You can talk casually if you want . ”

“No, no, it’s fine . I’m not nobility anymore . I’m more comfortable the way things are now . ”

Harin smiled calmly as if she found peace in her heart .

Tok, tok .

It was then . Someone knocked on the door .

“Hm? Is it Rachel?”

I tilted my head curiously and opened the door .

“Rachel…?”

On the other side of the door were guests I wasn’t quite expecting .

“Haha… It’s been a while, Hajin . ”

A woman scratched her head with an awkward laugh .

“It really has been! Wow!”

And a muscular man tried to hug me with a wide grin .

It was Yun Seung-Ah and Yi Yeonghan .

“What…?”

I stared at them blankly . Yun Seung-Ah offered an explanation .

“We were in Krovon Kingdom, which is below the Republic of Leores . We heard from Suho that you were here and came to see you . ”

“…Ah, I see . ”

When I nodded my head in a daze, Yi Yeonghan smacked my arm and said loudly .

“Oh yeah, there’s someone else who came with us . ”

“Hm?”

“Hey, get over here!”

Hearing Yi Yeonghan’s voice, a large man walked out from behind the wall . When I saw him, I couldn’t help but smile .

“…I didn’t expect to see you here . ”

He was someone I had a mild conflict with back when I was in Cube .

To be exact, he was beaten up one-sidedly and made his exit early .

“Kuhum… H-Hey, it’s… been a while . ”

Because I haven’t seen him in so long, I was somewhat touched .

The man was Shin Jonghak’s old lackey – Kim Horak .

“Yeah, really . ”

I grinned and offered him my hand .

Kim Horak flinched, but he smiled in embarrassment and took my hand .

“Yeah… I’m happy to see you . ”

“We haven’t seen each other since Cube, right?”

“Y…Yeah . ”

I shook hands with Kim Horak . As expected of a close-quarter combatant, his hand was full of calluses .

“Whoa, you have a lot of friends . ”

Harin approached us with a bright smile .

“Nice to meet you . My name is Yurin, the third most influential person of the Secret Service . ”

“Pardon? Ah, yes, hello . I’m Yun Seung-Ah . ”

“Yun Seung-Ah-ssi! What a pretty name . What about you?”

“I’m Yi Yeonghan . ”

“Ah~ Yi Yeonghan-ssi . ”

Like a true social extravert, Harin greeted the new faces warmly .
