Episode 77

‘At this point, the pavilion was attacked? Why?’

Well, if there was a plan to attack, this morning before the exhibition was over would have been optimal, but the timing is very tricky.

If the time had shifted a little, he might have encountered the black sound that was coming out of the light of the Hwan-Ya (煥夜).

Also, I could feel it intuitively.

The fact that the raid on the exhibition will be closely related to the main story that will be held this time.

‘… If that’s the case, then the case might start in earnest.’

It seems that my prediction was correct, but after a while, an urgent news came from the Royal Academy of Spain.

It was that Princess Laura had been kidnapped.

“… What, how are things going?”

As Hansol said, the situation is not serious.

Also, it didn’t end there. Because Princess Laura wasn’t the only person who was kidnapped.

In addition, what is unknown is some of the academy cadets from each country gathered at this venue.

And among them were Yoo Ha-on and Baek Eun-seo, who belonged to the Cheonghwa Academy.

Quang.

“Nonsense! You said you pulled out cadets like that from an event with a lot of eyes?”

Baek Ji-eun, one of the professors who accompanied him, slammed the wall hard as if he did not understand.

As we rushed to ask questions, there was a witness that Yoo Ha-on and Baek Eun-seo were having a conversation with Princess Laura.

It was only then that I was able to grasp the gist of the whole thing.

‘It was also his work.’

Harvey Martinez.

Judging by the characteristics he possesses, it was clear that he was probably a master of transformational arts.

It is highly probable that she stole the princess first and then took her form to gain trust and easily lure other students.

It wouldn’t have been difficult to massage the bodyguards at will, as he had been infiltrating as the princess’s entourage.

‘… Even so, it’s a little strange.’

It also doesn’t make sense for me to do all of this by myself. If my prediction is not wrong, it was clear that there was some kind of collaborator.

New news was delivered to us, who were in such shock.

The requirements of the gang who had kidnapped the princess and her cadets were revealed.

“… If you want everything back, you have to release a prisoner from a special prison.”

“Hey, who the hell is that?”

“Damian of red blood. He is a former royal knight and former most wanted.”

I don’t know who it was, but seeing the faces of the people on the royal family hardened, it didn’t seem like a normal person.

“Damian is a very dangerous person. If released, it is sure to cause even greater chaos in the world.”

In the end, it was an unacceptable request.

The academy’s professors calmly asked questions and settled the situation.

“Are you sure you are identifying the location of the culprit?”

“Currently, we are mobilizing all our personnel to close the siege. but… … .”

The man who paused for a moment opened his mouth again as if he was in trouble.

“From the middle, the traces have completely disappeared. It’s like flying into the sky.”

“Then, doesn’t that mean that you lost your opponent in the end?”

“… I am sorry, but as it stands, it is.”

As I listened roughly, the situation seemed to be worse than I had expected.

In particular, if you completely miss the track of the criminal, you will lose the way to respond to them later.

‘Having even taken the hostage, completely escaped the siege?’

No matter how thoroughly planned, it was not an easy task.

Even when the situation had just begun.

Then, I came up with a method to satisfy those conditions in my head.

‘Are you sure you hid yourself in a special barrier?’

If so, it is understandable to say that the traces have completely disappeared.

As the plan had been prepared in advance, it would not have been impossible if there was a barrier master with excellent skills.

“… First of all, you have to wait here with Professor Insol. We will cooperate with the authorities to help find the perpetrators.”

The professors were scattered, and the remaining cadets gathered together with personnel from other countries and began to wait for the resolution of the situation.

However, even after an hour or two, there was no change.

Only the other side’s response was radical.

[There was hardly any response. I guess I didn’t understand the words properly.]

Now, the criminals took a video and delivered it to the royal family, presenting their requirements.

However, when the situation did not change, they gathered the captured cadets in one place and began to force the prisoners to be released again.

[Every hour from now on, I will kill the hostages one by one. If you don’t want the situation to get worse, please make a wise choice.]

The content of the video sent like that ended. Behind him, the captured Yoo Ha-on was also seen, and blood was forming on his lips as if he had already waged a battle.

When I saw it, I instantly felt intense anger rising inside me.

‘… … .’

Yoo Ha-on was the main character.

A ray of hope to help save the world in a crisis that is slowly approaching.

He was not a good person to be used just for such an absurd hostage play.

‘Those guys who don’t even know what’s going to happen… … .’

There were only 30 minutes left until the time the opponent requested.

After waiting patiently for the situation, I finally got impatient and decided to take action.

‘How the hell did you hide your body so that so many people are fooling around?’

No matter how special barriers may have erased their traces, the professors and powerful members of the royal family are not fools either.

Nevertheless, the fact that it has not yet been discovered means that a truly unusual method has been used.

A possibility flashed through my mind like lightning.

‘… That’s it.’

The various pieces of furniture in the exhibition hall. I definitely remember seeing it as if passing by in the middle.

A cursed painting that traps nearby people in a special space when special conditions are met.

‘The castle of the dead.’

If the kidnappers and the people who raided the exhibit were of the same faction, and they knew the existence of the cursed Zhugu, it is likely that they were using it to hide the hostages.

‘If you look at the fact that not even traces have been found yet, it is virtually certain.’

And the magic used in the castles of the dead is golden magic. Of course, he must be filled with the energy of negativity that comes with it.

Then obviously,

‘It can be found with the ability of black tone to detect negativity.’

After I had finished thinking, I called out the dark sound from the shadows.

slurp.

Fuwaak!

[Quick.]

“Can you find it?”

[Cheap… … .]

As it was quite a distance, he seemed to be struggling with his current state.

But for me, there are things I have prepared for use in this very situation.

I grabbed the lamp of Hwan-Ya in my arms and began to flow my spiritual power towards the ring.

‘In the current country, the conditions must have been met.’

In fact, the light of Hwan-Ya (煥夜) has another form in it.

The vampire Beatrice, too, was able to show its power only after strengthening her own family by using a second form, not the light of the night, as it is.

It is a form of reversal that appears when a user with the qualities of a monarch has a certain level of gold business figure.

slurp.

’emotion.’

Tiling!

【The Mist of the Dark Juice】

▶The hand of silence that reaps the day. Only those with the qualities of a monarch can lock in the light in the ring.

– Number of bundles that can be bound: 2

Without hesitation, I used the effect of the ring as it was, strengthening the power of the black sound in front of me.

The black mist that flowed from the ring covered the darkness, and soon, at my command, the darkness began to search for the negative energy emanating from the castles of the dead.

About 5 minutes passed like that, and finally a response came.

‘… found. Closer than I thought.’

The problem is I don’t have time. The main forces had already gone on a search and were far away from here, so it was clear that it would be too late to summon them in a hurry.

Without hesitation, I opened my mouth and spoke.

“The hostages have been located.”

“… what? What does that mean?”

“One hundred percent certain. We will send the information to the terminal, so please contact us immediately.”

Then, he glanced at Hwang Ji-hak, who was beside him.

‘Obviously, I said that I had the grace to repay the former Han Kang-yoon.’

If there are many enemies of the same level as that Harvey Martinez on the other side, I can’t do anything alone.

So, believing in that promise, he called Hwang Ji-hak and quickly delivered only the business.

“I need a fighter. Can you help me?”

Fortunately, Hwang Ji-hak seemed to have read my mind, so he nodded and came to the side.

“… okay. I don’t know what’s going on, but if you need my strength, I’ll help.”

So, without anyone stopping us, we immediately left our seats and headed for our destination.

However, it wasn’t just the two of us who moved.

“… Why are you following me? And then to Sophia.”

“You said Grandma said we were together.”

“Ugh. I just want everyone to run out with a serious face?”

Arietta and Sofia.

It was the joining of a second-year senior and a third-year senior who were reassuring just thinking about it.

It took a while for me to nod my head at the unexpected support, and I immediately began to question Sophia.

“I’m going to the hijackers’ hideout from now on. It’s dangerous, are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“yes. No problem.”

“What if my guess is wrong?”

“Well. Well? If Yoongi Kang was sure, I think he would be right.”

As I’ve felt before, the trust Sophia and Hwang Ji-hak have in me is at a strange level.

What kind of personality did Han Kang-yoon have before he was recognized by the two of them? With a little admiration, I called out the bell and put everyone on his back.

slurp.

Fuwaak!

“It’s good if we can fix it, otherwise we just have to wait until support arrives.”

“I will protect the hostages from my side.”

“… Me and Sophie will pick the one that is moderately strong.”

We decided on each other’s minimum roles, and in the meantime, our destination was nearing our noses.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

“Sound, you go in.”

slurp.

The place we arrived at was an old abandoned warehouse in an old-fashioned shopping district.

There is no sign of feeling He probably didn’t put a sentry on purpose, judging that his tail could be caught for nothing.

Aww!

iron crack!

Inside the abandoned warehouse after breaking the locks and chains, there was a picture with an ominous aura along with old junk.

’emotion.’

Tiling!

【Castle of the Dead】

▶A picture of death created by evil magic. When certain conditions are met, the subject can be locked in the picture.

“… junior. Is your opponent in here?”

“yes. It’s a guinea pig I’ve seen before. He must be hiding here.”

“Do you know how to get in?”

of course you are aware

Just put your hand on the ghost’s mouth in the upper right corner of the picture, call its name, and infuse it with spiritual power.

“Paul Horse. Open the gates of the castle.”

Kee eek-!

Turn up!

In that way, the mouth of the ghost, which became huge in an instant, swallowed us up.
