Possessed Man’s Artifact Restaurant - Chapter 131



Only Krnovel

Episode 131

The sword energy that gushed out from the tip of the sword seemed as if it would swallow everything.

Kang Mu-won, who saw that, gathered all his life force and poured out his sword energy with all his might.

[Taecheonryu (太天流) Oui (奧義), Taecheon Gwangmuyeom (太天光武炎)]

Hwaaaaak―!

A huge blast of karma appeared with brown light and crashed down like a tidal wave, colliding with my red sword energy.

Kwaaaa …

The ground began to crack and collapse under the impact of tremendous force.

Still, we didn’t stop.

A clash that will only end when one of the two dies.

So, without giving an inch of hesitation, they glared at each other and poured all their magic power into each other.

Phew!

In the end, this fierce clash of power exploded with neither side winning, destroying both.

The struggle just now ended in a draw, but the outcome of the battle was already decided.

“Haa… That old man is so persistent.”

I was also very exhausted, having used up most of my magical power, but Kang Mu-won was almost losing his spark of life.

His hair was dyed pure white and his appearance was so dry that only skin remained, indicating that he was barely breathing.

[Artifact Restaurant Open]

I held back the dizziness as best I could, then immediately opened the system window and placed my hand on the artifact I was holding.

[Unique ability ‘Magic Consumption (???-level)’ activated]

[The artifact’s level is low compared to your skill level. Would you like to restore your current magic power or current health?]

I chose the option that quickly restores both magic and stamina.

[Currently, 40% of total magic power and stamina have been recovered.]

Status improved as soon as unique ability was used.

Enough to stop the severe headache and tremors all over my body.

Of course, I blew up a lot of artifacts because of that, but it wasn’t a big deal.

“mister!”

Lee Hye-yeon, who had woken up without realizing it, ran to Kang Mu-won and hugged him, shaking all over as if she had lost her mind.

“Yongson… .”

“Mister, come to your senses! Hurry up and call a… doctor!”

“Please take care of your body….”

As Kang Mu-won passed away, Lee Hye-yeon shook his body, which was gradually losing its warmth, with an expression of despair.

“Sir… ? No… . That can’t be possible… .”

“It’s over. I give up.”

Lee Hye-yeon, who had come to life at my voice, ran towards me with her sword in her hand, her eyes filled with anger.

Then, the swordsman standing in front of me lightly slapped her sword far away, and then his face fell to the floor.

He subdued it by hitting it.

“Let go! I’ll kill him! I’ll kill that bastard with my own hands!”

I approached Hye-yeon Lee, who was completely subdued and unable to move, and looked down at her.

“Assault, assault, murder, arson, perjury and destruction of evidence, fleeing and concealing a crime, obstruction of official duties, kidnapping, confinement, extortion and intimidation, theft and fraud, drug and human trafficking, and even aiding and abetting murder. These are the things that Savior, including Kang Moo-won, whom you cherish so much, has done.”

After all, Savior is also a criminal organization.

Of course, they could not have made money through normal means, and most of their funds were raised through actions that were beyond human morality.

“That… that!”

“Yeah, I know. It wasn’t you. How much would a girl in her late teens know about the organization?”

It is true that Lee Hye-yeon is smart and strong.

But, even so, she was only a girl in her late teens.

It’s true that everyone in Savior followed her, but they didn’t just do what she told them to do.

“That doesn’t mean those kids’ sins disappear. It’s not like you didn’t know about it either.”

“But… . But… .”

There was no emotion in his completely lifeless eyes.

Lee Hye-yeon, who was just repeating the same words like a machine, looked completely broken.

This confusion was not something a high school student could handle.

widely-!

The swordsman who was watching her hugged her and made her faint, then looked at me with a worried expression.

“are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“Did you drink any potions in the meantime?”

“Well… it’s similar.”

After a conversation, the expression on the swordsman’s face as he watched the situation gradually being sorted out was bitter.

“It’s been a bit… long day.”

“Iknow, right.”

* * *

The events that took place in the spiral eventually ended with Savior and Charon being sorted out.

Of course, since it was a battle fought in the mountains, there were no civilian casualties at all, and it would be safe to say that there was no damage on our side either.

‘Since I made a surprise attack while being hit by the 8th circle magic, it wasn’t difficult to annihilate them.’

In a situation where our forces were already strong, Savior and Charon, who were hit by the 8th circle magic, had no strength to endure at all.

Even the strong Kang Mu-yeon and Marta were easily subdued.

Originally, I could have killed them all, but I decided to spare Kang Mu-yeon, Marta, and Arman, the boss of Caron, for now.

‘I need information. Information about the Old Empire and about Cassus.’

Although Caron did not have a large presence in Cassus, it was still an organization recognized by Cassus.

I wasn’t expecting much information, but I wanted to get as much information as I could.

‘In particular, I need information on the guy called Godfather… .’

Godfather, the final boss and leader of Cassus.

In the original work, this was a character whose name and exact identity were not revealed.

He died in a bloody fight with the main character in the final battle, but in the end, no accurate information was given in any of the endings, leaving players with a lot of curiosity and confusion.

‘Of course, Arman wouldn’t know, but at least he would have information about the Seven Knights below.’

I wasn’t expecting much.

If I could just get a little hint, it would definitely be a big help.

I walked forward with that thought in mind.

“Are you going to the basement?”

On my way out of the room, what I encountered at the door was a blood flower.

He had collapsed the day before from overdoing it, but thanks to the quick treatment, he seemed to have regained his energy.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“I still have a slight headache, but it’s not too bad.”

“Then that’s good.”

“If you’re going to the basement, let’s go together.”

“Are you okay?”

The view from this basement won’t be good.

Of course, the blood type is not weak enough to be shocked to this extent, but this is just my personal opinion.

“Then what about you?”

“Me… It’s no big deal.”

It was normal for me to have a hard time since I had never experienced anything like it in my life, but I was able to maintain my composure even in this situation, as if my ability as a crazy gamer had some effect.

‘It’s disgusting, but not to the point where it makes you want to throw up, right?’

It was a convenient ability considering that in this world, people have to kill each other, but it still left me with a somewhat uneasy feeling.

“I’m okay too. If you take classes, you’ll develop that kind of tolerance.”

A guardian is a being that protects someone.

It may be a bit cruel, but actual Guardian training also includes training to build tolerance for this.

Of course, it’s not training while actually looking at a corpse, but I think there’s a certain level of tolerance.

“Okay… Then I won’t stop you.”

* * *

Wolyeongmun Cheongjin Branch.

This is the largest of the Wolyeongmun branches located in the north, and was the main base for Wolyeongmun’s activities in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

“Are you here?”

In this secret basement, which can only be accessed through a special method, the Saviors and Charons we caught yesterday were imprisoned.

“Where is he?”

“It’s in room A-2.”

When we arrived at Room A-2 following the guard’s instructions, we found Arman chained up with his head down.

Although he had no visible injuries, he appeared quite exhausted from the sustained mental assault.

“The one behind it is Wolyeongmun… I never would have imagined that.”

Armand, who was laughing and giggling, looked relaxed despite being tired.

“Aren’t you scared? Your life depends on me?”

“Do you think someone like me who has lived a life at the bottom would be scared just because his life is threatened?”

As Arman said, those who have made it from the bottom with nothing to lose to the top have a lot of guts.

Even if your own life is threatened.

For them, life itself was a war, and death was always near.

“Yeah… . No matter what I do to you now, you will remain silent. But what about your lovely subordinates? For example. Martha Gerpan… .”

Clang!

“This kid!”

As expected, when I mentioned Martha’s name, he got up in anger and looked at me with a look that seemed like he was going to kill me.

Then I grabbed the bastard’s head with a cold gaze and slammed him to the floor.

bang-!

“Ugh.”

“Hey… is your voice loud? Wake up, your life and the life of your beloved Martha are in my hands right now.”

Arman now seemed unaware of his subject.

That’s why I pressured him even more in a stronger tone.

“I too would like to kill you as soon as possible. But the only reason I’m holding back is because of the information you have. Am I not that patient?”

After being roughed up once, Arman became quiet and soon let him go, pulling a chair over and sitting down in front of him.

“Cheer up for precious Martha.”

“Shut up and ask a question….”

“Okay, I understand. Don’t rush things.”

It was clear that Martha was very important to him, as he immediately became more submissive.

So much so that one wonders if he is the same person as the boss of that fierce Caron.

“How much do you know about the boss of Cassus?”

“He is called Godfather, and the only people who know his identity and location are the Seven Knights, the highest-ranking executives of this organization, and a few direct subordinates. Those in an ambiguous position like me do not even know his name, let alone his location.”

Up until this point, it was as expected, so I wasn’t that disappointed or disappointed.

“But if you’re the boss of Caron, isn’t that a pretty high position? You must have met at least the Seven Knights.”

“I don’t know about the high position, but I have met one of the Seven Knights.”

“Who is that?”

The Seven Knights are the seven highest-ranking officers under the Godfather.

I knew all of their names and codenames, but I needed more information.

“Codename: Dream of Dreams, Seven Knights that govern the East Asia region.”

Hwanmong, real name Becca Schwersky, was a woman who specialized in powerful illusion magic based on her outstanding affinity for the dark attribute.

The illusion was so great that, if properly applied, even a SSS-rank hunter would have a hard time escaping it.

“Do you know anything about that woman?”

“None at all, except that they are mainly active in Russia.”

Seeing that there was no problem despite mentioning this, I could tell that there were no other magics cast on him.

‘I guess I don’t really know much.’

This could rather be considered bad news.

‘If he had a suggestion spell, he must have good information and I could have gotten it from him somehow.’

It was a pity, but there were still many things left to ask.

“It must have been Cassus’ orders that you, who are from the distant Central and South American regions, came here. Is that true?”

“Yes.”

As expected, just like the original, the Cassus guys were behind this as well.
