Episode 123
“Yeah! That’s it!”
Shin Jeong-bin smiled as if it was all according to plan, watching Oh Ji-hoon being slaughtered by Se-hyeok in one stroke. It was a smile that made the corners of her mouth rise up to her ears.
Shin Jeong-bin, who had been smiling like that, quickly returned to her usual expressionless and cold face as if nothing had happened.
“I believed it. Damn it.”
Shin Jeong-bin was just worried that Se-hyeok would get angry and blow that guy away with one stroke of his sword, destroying the commercial area he had worked so hard to build.
All you have to do is worry about the life of the stranger intruder.
“Hahaha! Are you going to treat me the same way if I kick your slave?”
Looking at the sight, the woman in sunglasses laughs, holding her stomach.
The woman who was leaning against the sedan smiles, takes her hand off the car, and approaches Sehyuk.
“I think you like this fortress too.”
The woman licked her lips and scanned the fortress and Sehyuk with her eyes. Her greedy gaze was not hidden even by her sunglasses.
“How about you sell this business to me and come under my wing?”
“Oh, I have no intention of treating you like a scumbag like Oh Ji-hoon. I’ll put you right under me.”
Sehyuk answered right away.
“Eat some shit. You are a real customer.”
The guest who caused trouble is a big shot in the Seoul Survivors’ Association.
But did that guest try to persuade Sehyuk to join him?
If I get hit one more time, I won’t be the biggest fool in the world.
“Didn’t you hear? Get out of here. I don’t want to clean up after those ignorant people who are causing trouble at other people’s businesses.”
“ha ha ha.”
The woman in sunglasses opened her eyes wide and wondered if she had misheard, her smiling lips trembling slightly.
The woman who heard those words, perhaps because her pride was hurt, kept her mouth shut and glared at Sehyuk.
“You’ll regret it.”
“Fuck it. Oh, I’m a woman so I can’t?”
The woman who was glaring at Se-hyeok fiercely grabbed Oh Ji-hoon and threw him into the driver’s seat before driving away.
Se-hyeok and Shin Jeong-bin glared at the two Seoul Survivors’ Association guests driving away.
“Those people, they’re definitely up to something.”
Shin Jeong-bin speaks coolly.
“I guess so.”
And, as expected, a few days later, something happened.
Sehyuk was checking the stock of soaps and potions that were particularly popular at the inn with the innkeeper and negotiating the prices again.
Shin Jeong-bin returned to him with a serious face.
Again he turns on the site screen and shows it to me.
The post in question.
“Is this… a copycat of our business?”
Delivery. Tourism.
There was a posting on an internet site that was a perfect imitation of Sehyuk’s business, a kind of kidney opening business.
Anyone who looked at it saw that the newer version offered more splendid service.
Instead of a tour bus, you can drive a sports car, and instead of a typical business complex, you can tour and even stay overnight in a huge mansion.
Anyone can see that this was a start-up founded out of revenge.
The online advertisement featured a photo of a woman wearing sunglasses and smiling brightly.
As if telling Sehyuk to look.
bang!
Shin Jeong-bin, who was watching the site from the side, slammed his fist on the desk.
“What should I do?”
Shin Jeong-bin speaks to Se-hyeok while pushing up his glasses with his middle finger.
For someone who just hit the desk with his fist, he has a calm look on his face.
“It’s clear what needs to be done.”
As he said that, Sehyuk suppressed his anger and calmly turned the computer screen around to look at the photos.
Dead people with unfocused eyes.
A western-style mansion that is so extravagant that it almost looks tacky, studded with all sorts of jewels. Gorgeous masks that can be scary.
I was used to it.
Looking at that splendid, if bizarre, sight, it seemed like this was the woman’s main base.
‘This could be an opportunity.’
From what I remember before my regression, there was something quite mouth-watering in this woman’s home base.
Among the techniques of the Silver Light Shingong, there are techniques that require several prerequisites other than the sword.
A new technique created by utilizing several of Sehyuk’s sub-talents.
Like the innkeeper’s philosophy, it is a ‘utilization-type’ technique that broadens the horizons of one’s talent as a swordsman.
And in this woman’s base, there were various materials to obtain talents and various methods to obtain talents.
Naturally, among them were the lower-level talents that Sehyuk should have.
‘If you come here, you can reawaken new skills.’
And that’s not all.
Besides Sehyuk, shouldn’t we think about our colleagues as well?
A woman wearing sunglasses.
As soon as Sehyuk saw that woman, he wanted to kill her.
‘It’s not just because of personal grudge.’
If you kill that woman, she will give you the essence of a monster similar to Yeongdan.
This also applies to Oh Ji-hoon.
Monsters with great power sometimes drop their essence, the source of their power, when they die instead of their spirit tablet.
‘The Yeouiju of the polluted mountain. It was also a kind of essence.’
And, not only is the essence a powerful material, but it can also be consumed directly to mimic some of the monster’s abilities.
According to the Book of the Future, monster worshippers are mutating by realizing the concept of essence and learning how to artificially create essence.
And here’s the key.
The essence falls as it is when the person who consumed it dies.
The amount of magical power that can be obtained by eating the essence varies depending on the amount of magical power of the user.
‘The material for Oh Ji-hoon and that woman is probably that, considering the type of magic they use.’
And, these guys’ materials can be used to give Cha Ye-seong and Han Si-hyeon one more powerful technique.
There is no reason not to go.
Sehyuk suddenly sat up.
“I’m going to break everything and sweep it all away.”
If there’s one thing that’s on my mind, it’s the revenge of Seongsu-gyeol, who was still emitting absolute magical power at this level.
But he also has a solution in mind.
* * *
The women’s stronghold is in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do.
True to his intention of interfering with Sehyuk’s business, it is not too far away.
Crossing the road, Sehyuk arrived near the woman’s stronghold.
As you approach, the surrounding scenery suddenly changes.
Was the area itself designed with an ancient European concept?
Gone are the blood, mucus, and broken buildings, replaced by well-constructed buildings in a classic Western style that you would expect to see in a theme park.
The buildings are ornately designed in brick or marble, and there are many statues on both sides of the beautifully paved stone paths.
However, its extravagance is so excessive that it feels like a cheap imitation or a tacky amusement park.
In addition, the buildings somehow appear faded.
Is that because all the lights are off?
“It’s definitely not an old building, but somehow it feels cold and unpleasant, like a closed amusement park.”
“That’s right. It’s like an amusement park that’s blocked off from entry in a horror game.”
While listening to Han Si-hyeon and Cha Ye-seong, Se-hyeok looked at the large golden mansion on the mountain in the distance.
This area is actually like that.
A place where you can’t guarantee what you’ll get out of once you enter.
I find the ornate, massive marble door that is the only entrance to the women’s stronghold and park my car in front of it.
Cha Ye-seong got out of the car and approached the gatekeeper, a man in a suit, who was standing in front of the door with a small dragon.
Strangely, even as Cha Ye-seong approaches, the gatekeeper stands still, looking straight ahead, without turning his gaze.
The man’s mouth opens as he looks into the distance.
[Welcome.]
“Hello. How do I get in?”
Cha Ye-seong greets the man.
As he said that, the man who had been looking straight ahead turned his neck like a robot and looked at Cha Ye-seong.
And what came out of the man’s mouth was what one would expect.
[Welcome.]
“yes?”
[Welcome.]
A gatekeeper who mechanically spits out the same words.
Cha Ye-seong opened her eyes wide and stepped back with a bewildered expression. Her expression was a mixture of fear and realizing something strange.
Se-hyeok passed by Cha Ye-seong and stood in front of him as if blocking his path.
“Look closely. That guy, his eyes are unfocused. He’s already as good as dead.”
“What did you say?”
“It’s literally true.”
Recall the information about the woman before her regression and explain those facts to the colleagues who came with her.
The third member of the Seongsu Family whose identity was not revealed before the regression.
At the same time, he was a criminal known as the ‘Corpse King’ who murdered all kinds of civilians.
That’s the career of the woman wearing sunglasses I saw before.
The reason why she has earned the over-the-top title of Demon King is fundamentally because she commands a huge number of slaves.
Like a demon lord with a bunch of subordinates.
Incidentally, there is also the reason why many people who gave the woman derogatory nicknames like ‘human hyena’ or ‘necrophiliac’ disappeared, based on the logic that we shouldn’t give villains cool names.
That is why this woman’s fight is fought by leaving the rear to her slaves and leading the fight from the front.
If you analyze his fighting style, he is a front-line commander.
And, if we say that a profession is something that classifies people’s fighting tendencies based on the weapons and abilities they use.
This woman could be called a Death Knight.
All of her countless slaves were defeated by this person or killed for some reason and became undead and follow him.
This woman uses witchcraft to kill anyone she likes or anyone who visits her territory, and then enslaves them by using their corpses.
It is a humiliation of the deceased.
Before regression.
Someone once posted on an internet site that he had infiltrated this woman’s residence and found the missing people there.
And then at some point, that person also disappeared without posting anything.
The ending can be guessed without needing to be told.
There was such an incident.
“This isn’t something that was brought back to life by evil sorcery. It’s just a corpse that’s being moved based on memories from its life.”
At those words, Cha Ye-seong and Han Si-hyeon looked at the people walking around with stiff faces.
Everyone’s face and eyes are lifeless.
“Everyone, be prepared. Everyone here is an enemy. They haven’t responded yet, but if I give the order, they’ll come rushing in.”
Everyone nods with stiff faces.
Go through the gate and climb the mountain path.
Before we knew it, we had arrived in front of a huge golden mansion.
[What brings you here?]
In the distance you can see a golden palace, and in front of it a garden full of all sorts of rare and beautiful plants and flowers.
At the entrance to the garden, a woman in a maid’s uniform welcomes them.
“There is no need to take risks.”
Sehyuk drew his sword.
It was agreed upon in advance.
If you go in here and fight, you’ll be putting yourself in the enemy’s mouth.
It would be better to reduce the number of people in front of this.
Sehyuk immediately smashed the woman’s head.
And then, at that moment.
The corpses wandering around all turned to look at Sehyuk and his group.
