A few days after leaving the Abyss, Park Si-jun met someone at his house.

That someone was Seohyun Lee.

"…it's a bizarre house."

- Whoops.

Seohyun Lee made a strange expression while watching Yellowy carrying coffee. Just like the guests who come here.

Park Si-jun took a sip of coffee.

'Is Seohyun Lee said to have arrived yesterday?'

He was told two days ago that he had cleared out the hideout that was beyond the cracks and that he had returned yesterday.

"The place I went to was also a guild under Jormungand. I was planning to attack, but the plan has changed a bit."

"How?"

Seohyun patted the back of his hand.

"There was a mine. The one I saw at the establishment ceremony."

"You mean the apostles?"

"Yeah, she's the girl I fought with."

She was a woman with a very unique fighting style.

He thought about whether to attack right away, but Lee Seo-hyun quickly changed his mind.

"She'd rather watch than fight. She's got one of her shadow spirits attached to her. She'll track her down and give her information."

"Hmm, not bad. Inside the guild? Did you get any useful information?"

"Okay. It was hidden quite thoroughly, but, if you set your mind to find it, you can find it."

Seohyun Lee stretched out her hand into the air.

Then a spirit similar to what Ishimi summoned appeared and handed him a piece of paper.

"I used spirits to dig up information from the inside. They seem to be aiming for relics."

The information written on the paper was the information the spirits had known. It was recorded by Seohyun Lee herself.

It was worse than I thought.

"I heard that a relic was found in a frontier to the west, and he was ordered to support it."

“Did that apostle go there too?”

"For now, the direction is the same. I plan to leave tomorrow and pursue her."

Seohyun sighed.

As a guild leader, it is not good for him to leave his seat constantly.

But he couldn't help it. If he was such an opponent, he could not be entrusted to anyone else.

"Hmm."

Park Si-joon shrugged his chin and fell into his thoughts.

"The purpose of the Jormungandra has become clear. They aim for the relic. The question is, why are you aiming for the relic?"

"I don't know. In the first place, you can't use the Holy Relic unless you're a contractor for the castle behind it. No, you can use it to be precise, but it's very difficult."

"They're after stuff like that."

Go for things you can't use.

"The reason is……"

"No one knows."

There must be a certain reason, and he must be aiming for it.

But there was no way to know why.

"Isn't the holy relic an item that has the power behind it? Isn't it aimed at that power?"

"Aiming for that power, where are you going to use it? No, is there a way to use that power in the first place?"

"I don't know. But if they knew how to do that... then things would be different."

"Hmm."

It must be aimed at the holy relics because it has some use. First, I needed to figure out where to use it.

"So, what's the future policy?"

"What do you have? We'll have to chase after him first."

"It's very likely they've noticed."

"You have to be careful moving around, okay?"

Park Si-joon said insignificantly.

Seeing this, Seohyun made a slightly absurd expression on her face.

"It's easy to say... but do whatever you want. I'll move on after gathering a little more information."

Then he got up from his seat.

A body that doesn't have much time in the first place. He was going to finish everything he could handle before leaving.

"Oh, I see."

Lee Seo-hyun, who was leaving, suddenly looked back.

"Looks like you have fun collaborators..."

Her gaze turned to the stairs leading to the second floor.

"I hope you don't hurt me."

And Lee Seo-hyun goes out. As if she crossed with him, Lim came down from the top of the stairs, hugging her doll.

"One point is a bloody woman, really."

Lim poked her tongue out.

"How can you be so quick?"

[When it comes to spirits, I hear you are almost a master. Perhaps he is using the spirit to do something.]

“The story about Seo-Hyun Lee has come to an end.”

Park Si-joon looked up at the two of them with annoyance.

"How are you going to move?"

"It's the same as you. First, we need to check the authenticity of the information a little more and track down the apostle. Since part of the Whichgild has fallen, we'll have to wait and see how Jormungand responds."

In the first place, the reason that the guilds were swept away was to see how they would move.

"Can I leave that to you?"

"Yeah, we'd be better off doing it."

It would be better for Lim So-ryeong or her guild to take over rather than Park Si-joon himself.

"If possible, I'd like to know a little bit about the apostles or who they are."

"I once killed one of the apostles at the founding ceremony. It was a woman named Renee..."

Park Si-jun tilted his head.

"I feel like my personality has changed from when we first met. Do I have to say that I've become a bit arrogant?"

“That’s where villains have their personality, huh?”

Park Si-joon's eyes looking at Im So-ryeong became strange. It's as if you're qualified to say such a thing.

“Hey, were you an apostle from the beginning?”

"Well, I didn't feel that way when we met at the auction house. Maybe I became an apostle later."

"Is becoming an apostle and changing personality have anything to do with it?"

Park Si-jun nodded his head.

"Gives me strength. Changes my personality. Hmm."

"It's strange to be that apostle in the first place. That level of magic is not behind the scenes and is loyal to one individual? Is that possible?"

Demons are arrogant beings as much as they have power.

Even those who have received power from the same background are sometimes opposed to each other.

Are such people loyal to the lord?

'Such a nonsensical story.'

But it actually happened.

So that was the problem.

* * *

Even if you think about it, you can't come up with a solution.

You'll find out if you follow the apostles yourself and follow what they're doing. Park Si-jun thought so.

"Where do you keep the holy sword?"

In his room, Park Si-jun asked Cheong-seong.

"Now, it's kept by the American Association. It's still being protected..."

Qingcheng ruffled the tail of his horse.

"There were several raids aimed at the holy sword."

"I said it was still kept, so it wouldn't have been taken away. Who is the culprit?"

"It was a guild under Jormungand."

It was an obvious answer. If it's not for them, I can't aim.

"It looks like the holy sword is quite coveted, right?"

"Yeah, the other holy things..."

Park Si-jun was fiddling with the objects in his hands.

It was a small projector-like thing, a small gate.

"Are you really going to go alone?"

"Then do you guys wear them one after another?"

“I think that would be better.”

Cheongseong let out a worried sigh.

Park Si-jun said he would pursue the enemies by himself. Cheongseong could only be worried.

“There are things I entrusted to you.”

“You mean to investigate Han Min-hyuk? Even if it’s not me, but my subordinates…”

"You'd be better off taking it on your own than that."

“……”

Cheongseong closed his mouth.

Park Si-joon's eyes looking at him were strange.

'This guy is definitely not a bad guy.'

There is no problem with inclinations or talents seen through the talent window. However, since he had just met him, he followed him so much that he felt uncomfortable.

'I think Han Go-woon was better... … ?'

I felt that way.

"Han Min-hyeok, and, if possible, the reverse."

“It wouldn’t be easy to become a Yeokcheon guild.”

“Do what you can.”

Park Si-jun opened the gate.

"I don't know what I'll find if I look for it."

And he threw the ring there.

A ring woven of fire. The little gate that ate it flashed with a strange light and swallowed Park Si-jun.

* * *

"It's real."

Park Si-jun, who entered through the gate, stuck out his tongue.

He's mimicking the way he's seen it before, I hope he can do the same with the mini gate.

"By the way, here..."

- Off... … .

Park Si-jun looked around.

He was in a snowy field. But the color of his eyes was strange.

'Ashen.'

It is hazy as if ashes are flying.

Snowflakes were piled up.

'And over there, is an adult.'

Beyond the snowy field, the castle looked hazy.

high pitch. The passage of time was clearly felt.

“There are a lot of people watching, right?”

- King.

He felt all sorts of people around him staring at him. Park Si-jun moved his steps slowly.

'It doesn't seem to be particularly hostile.'

It felt like a borderline.

Park Si-jun slowly walked towards the castle.

'I didn't even sign a contract with Huo Sung, so I don't know why we meet so many times.'

in front of the huge gate. Park Si-jun sighed.

He doesn't really like meeting the castle behind him. Because you're only making noises that catch floating clouds.

'Especially, this mastermind was targeting me.'

In a way, he was putting his head in the lion's mouth. Still, he had no choice.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

cut profit.

As Park Si-jun stood in front of the door, the gate opened at will.

Then a dark room greeted him. A place where no light enters so much that you cannot see even an inch ahead.

"I think it's been quite some time since the master called you."

A voice was heard from beyond.

Paang! The room was lit up with a loud noise.

A monster was standing in the room, which was brightened in an instant.

"I hope you'll sleep now."

A body that was incredibly skinny with a huge stature.

The wings of a giant bat are behind its back, and its teeth and nails are elongated to the point of being unpleasantly long.

“For a vampire I thought, it didn’t look like much.”

He hadn't had blood for a long time and looked skinny. Should I say it's sad to see?

However, on the contrary, the power he felt was not common.

"who are you?"

"I am one of the servants serving the master, and my name is Asar, who has served as your guide."

asshole. It was an odd name.

Park Si-jun took a step forward.

'It's a castle with a rustic feel rather than a glamorous one.'

The castle literally looked like an old castle.

Traces of time were felt everywhere, on the ceiling, on the walls, in the interior.

"Why are you so late?"

“If you’re like you, would you want to go to the house of someone who took your life? I didn’t even want to come in the first place.”

"But you're here. Why?"

“I think you would know if I didn’t tell you…

At that, Asal laughed silently.

It was a very unpleasant smile to look at.

- Creung... …

Ishimi showed this with tight tension.

Park Si-joon looked around while comforting him.

"Aren't there too many people spying on me?"

"Because there are a lot of people who are interested in you. And it's because you came to me at a strange time in the first place. Today..."

Asal looked up at the ceiling.

There was a figure of a certain monster engraved in stained glass. It reminded me of something I saw at an old training camp.

"It's the day my comrades gather."

comrade. What does that mean?

nothing to worry about Even pretending to be Asal is a demon. It must be that demons like him are gathered in this castle.

'I can't help but relax.'

Park Si-jun sighed inwardly.
