【Bloodline is a Thug Chapter 201】

201. Collapse (3)

“You’re going to search for Captain Kwon Myung-woo?”
Kwon Jun-yeol’s expression betrayed his bewilderment. He couldn’t comprehend Han-ul’s decision.
Going to find Kwon Myung-woo? That was essentially saying he’d support him.
He understood that events were unfolding strangely. But Kwon Myung-woo was Kwon Myung-woo.
No matter what crisis descended upon him, he never wavered. Instead, he charged forward and crushed his enemies beneath his heel.
Having observed him most closely, Kwon Jun-yeol couldn’t imagine Kwon Myung-woo in defeat, no matter how hard he tried.
“Wouldn’t it be better to prioritize the Black Darkness Corps rather than the Captain?”
Kwon Jun-yeol offered his sincere counsel. Yet Han-ul simply shook his head.
“I must go to my great-grandfather.”
Han-ul was resolute.
My instinct screamed a warning. With everything unfolding differently than expected, the most dangerous person was Kwon Myung-woo.
I couldn’t dismiss this as needless worry. I possessed the true Black Dragon Bloodline. Because of this, the dragon’s instinct dwelled within my very being.
The dragon’s instinct continued its relentless warnings. There was no time to rest. I had to find Kwon Myung-woo immediately.
“…Very well. We’ll do as you say.”
In the end, Kwon Jun-yeol chose to follow Han-ul’s words.
It was unprecedented. Though Han-ul was a direct blood relative, Kwon Jun-yeol was the vice-captain of the Heukcheon Team, which had accumulated countless achievements.
Kwon Jun-yeol possessed enough authority to openly refuse Han-ul’s command. Yet without Han-ul, he would have been defenseless against the Gangtaedae’s sudden ambush moments ago.
Kwon Jun-yeol now understood that heeding Han-ul’s words was the right choice.
“However, even if I wanted to support the Black Darkness Corps, I have no way of knowing the Treasure Vault’s location…”
Kwon Jun-yeol spoke with a troubled expression.
That’s when Han-ul’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
I spun around and slashed my hand toward the wall. The dragon qi I released cut a long gash across the surface.
“W-why are you doing that all of a sudden?”
Kwon Jun-yeol cried out in alarm. In that instant, a scream erupted from the fractured wall.
“Aaaahhhhh!”
The sudden scream momentarily startled Kwon Jun-yeol and the Heukcheon Team.
But I immediately burst through the wall and threw a punch.
The wall shattered with a single blow, revealing a hollow space. Within it stood a woman in a black robe, her chest bleeding from a deep wound.
“H-how did you know my location…!”
The woman cried out in panic. But I didn’t bother responding. Capturing her took priority.
“D-don’t come closer!”
As I approached, the woman let out a sharp scream. Simultaneously, she pulled a staff from her pocket and thrust it forward.
Sinister magical power erupted from the staff’s tip. In that moment, a bundle of tentacles burst from thin air and coiled around me.
“Tch?”
I furrowed my brow. The intensity and force emanating from the tentacles were far more formidable than I had imagined.
While I grappled with the tentacles, the woman seized her necklace.
Light burst forth from the necklace. Simultaneously, the walls, floor, and ceiling began to dissolve like jelly, becoming viscous and malleable.
I realized the woman was attempting to escape using spatial magic.
I clenched my teeth and drew upon the power of my superhuman bloodline.
I seized the tentacles coiling around my body and tore them away. But the woman’s spell was already complete.
The wall, now transformed from jelly into a mucous membrane, blocked the space between us. It was the very moment she was about to vanish.
【’The Demon-Suppressing Bloodline (班魔血) accepts the user’s will.】
Suddenly, the Demon-Suppressing Bloodline awakened. This bloodline, obtained from the Demon King, wielded tremendous power specifically against magic.
【’The Demon-Suppressing Bloodline (班魔血) halts the manifestation of all magic and abilities within a 3-meter radius.】
The moment the Demon-Suppressing Bloodline’s power manifested, the tentacles vanished. Simultaneously, the wall’s movement ceased.
The wall, which had transformed into a mucous state, reverted to its original rigid mineral form.
“W-why is this happening all of a sudden?”
The woman cried out in panic, pouring more magical energy into her necklace.
But no matter how hard she tried, the spell refused to manifest again.
I seized the opportunity without hesitation. Without a moment’s pause, I grabbed the woman by her collar and slammed her onto the ground.
“Ahhh!”
The sound of bones breaking accompanied her scream. But I showed no mercy.
I broke her arm as well before finally stopping. The woman lay pinned to the ground, her voice trembling with agony.
“Are you an Ion Mage?”
“Y-yes! Yes, I am! Please, please let go of my arm!”
The woman pleaded desperately. I tightened my grip on her arm even more.
“Kyaaaah!”
“What were you doing here?”
“I-I was using m-magic to alter the p-path to t-trap the Heukcheon Team’s m-movements! P-please, my arm is going to b-break!”
The magical power I sensed from the necklace was no ordinary matter—she was clearly entrusted with an important mission.
I struck the back of her neck with the edge of my hand. The woman lost consciousness immediately.
“Kwon Jun-yeol, I’m entrusting this woman to you.”
I had refrained from killing her, planning to interrogate her later. I handed the woman over to Kwon Jun-yeol and then examined the artifact she had been carrying.

【Kledamendara】
-Quality: Legendary (SSS-)
-Description: A staff once wielded by the Demon Duke ‘Kledamendara’. It contains magic capable of binding any monster.

【Jewel of Afreda】
-Quality: Legendary (AAA-)
-Description: A magical artifact usable only within Afreda’s barrier. Possessing this artifact grants authority to freely manipulate space within the barrier.

Both were handling magical artifacts for the first time, but thanks to my genius bloodline, I grasped their usage without difficulty.
As I manipulated the magical artifact, a sudden thought struck me—this alone wouldn’t be enough.
“Wait a moment.”
I began searching through the woman’s belongings and discovered an earring she was wearing.

【Afreda’s Crystal】
-Quality: Legendary (AAA-)
-Description: A magical artifact usable only within Afreda’s barrier. With this artifact, one can freely observe the internal structure of the barrier.

I removed the earring and grasped it in my hand. Instantly, a three-dimensional map materialized in my mind.
“As expected.”
I’d suspected that manipulating the Treasure Vault’s space with just one relic wouldn’t suffice. And just as I’d theorized, such an artifact existed separately.
I examined the map. Remarkably, I could even zoom in and see who occupied each space.
Scanning the map, I discovered the Heukam Corps scattered in pairs throughout the vault.
“The Lightning Sage and Raishin?”
I couldn’t help but be shocked—these were the last people I expected to be alongside the Heukam Corps. That’s when I noticed something.
In the corner of the map, I saw Kwon Myung-woo.
He was locked in combat with the Dragon Slayer. When I zoomed in on his location for a closer look—
Mei Xiao suddenly appeared from behind and drove a blade into Kwon Myung-woo’s chest.
“….”
For a brief moment, my mind went blank white. I immediately made my decision.
“Kwon Jun-yeol.”
“Yes?”
“My grandfather is in danger. We need to move immediately.”
“…What?”
Kwon Jun-yeol asked in confusion.
“Didn’t you just ask me to handle the Heukam Corps?”
With the Lightning Sage and Raishin there, they didn’t need my help.
But explaining that would be too complicated given the situation. I immediately channeled mana into the necklace.
【The magical artifact ‘Afreda’s Jewel’ is restructuring space.】
The walls and ceiling began to tremble. The sudden change startled Kwon Jun-yeol and the Heukcheon Team greatly.
“Kwon Han-ul, what in the world is happening!”
There was no time to explain. I set Kwon Myung-woo’s room as my destination coordinates.
But I couldn’t reach that location.
【The flow of mana is tangled too complexly to move to those coordinates.】
The clash between Kwon Myung-woo and the Dragon Slayer had twisted the mana around them.
I thought frantically. What was the fastest way to reach that location in such circumstances?
Teleport nearby and then run? That would take too long. I don’t have that kind of time. Kwon Myung-woo’s life hung by a thread.
“…Ah.”
A sudden idea struck me. I set new coordinates.
The space where Kwon Myung-woo was located.
Above that space.
“I’m going to use a rather rough method. Everyone, prepare yourselves accordingly.”
“Pardon?”
Kwon Jun-yeol still couldn’t grasp the situation. Leaving him behind, I raised my fist high into the air.
【The power of the Superhuman Bloodline ‘Reverse Eruption World Breaker’ manifests!】
A brilliant light gathered at my fist. Kwon Jun-yeol’s eyes widened at the sight.
“S-Superhuman Bloodline?”
In that instant, I brought my fist down.
With a deafening boom, the floor collapsed.

* * *

As the floor crumbled away, the Heukcheon Team and Gangtaedae fell through as well.
Everyone panicked at first, but quickly adapted. It was possible because neither the Heukcheon Team nor Gangtaedae were ordinary hunters.
“Kwon Han-ul! What on earth is happening!”
Kwon Jun-yeol shouted while clinging to the rubble as he fell. I pointed downward and spoke.
“Below us are the old master, Mei Xiao, and the Dragon Slayer.”
“What are you even talking about….”
After falling some distance, an enormous magical power emanated from below. Sensing that power, Kwon Jun-yeol’s expression grew grave. He realized my words were true.
“The old master’s life is in danger. We must treat his wounds immediately upon arrival….”
It was at that moment.
“The captain is in danger?”
Kwon Jun-yeol cried out in alarm. At his words, the Heukcheon Team reacted as well.
“The captain is in danger?”
“Him? Really?”
“Who! Which bastards dared to touch our captain!”
Kwon Jun-yeol and the Heukcheon Team didn’t remain idle. They kicked off the rubble and plummeted downward at even greater speed.
Watching them, I blinked my eyes.
“Huh….”
Because of that, I arrived below one step behind the Heukcheon Team.
As I landed on the ground, I opened my mouth without thinking.
“Everyone certainly is impatient.”
Then I lifted my head. My gaze met Mei Xiao’s across the distance.
“Kwon Han-ul…!”
The moment Mei Xiao saw me, her expression twisted.
“Of all times to show up! I can’t stand people like you!”
Mei Xiao erupted in fury.
She had been interrupted just as she was about to take Kwon Myung-woo’s life, so her anger was considerable.
“Huh, I never expected to meet that bastard here.”
The Dragon Slayer gazed at Kwon Han-ul with satisfaction. He too harbored a grudge against him.
“Perfect. I’ve been wanting to settle a score with you anyway.”
Two absolutes unleashed their auras simultaneously. The tremendous force caused the Heukcheon Team members’ faces to stiffen.
“Kwon Han-ul, sir, we will assist you.”
Kwon Jun-yeol and the Heukcheon Team took their positions beside Kwon Han-ul. They did not falter even against the aura of an absolute.
“Tch, how far do these bastards intend to humiliate me?”
It wasn’t just them. Among them, Kwon Myung-woo, with bandages wrapped around his chest, rose from his seat.
“Those bastards are my prey. You all step back.”
“Captain, you should go rest instead. If you push that body any further, you’ll really die.”
“And you should exercise regularly in the first place.”
“What, is there nothing these bastards won’t say?”
Kwon Myung-woo bellowed loudly. Soft laughter rippled through the Heukcheon Team members.
Kwon Myung-woo and the Heukcheon Team. And even the Gangtaedae, who had separated from them.
Looking at them, Kwon Han-ul spoke in a single phrase.
“That’s enough. Everyone, fall back.”
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent. Kwon Myung-woo blinked and asked.
“What did you just say?”
“Uncle and everyone else won’t be of help, so please fall back and tend to your wounds first.”
At those words, veins bulged on Kwon Myung-woo’s forehead. He grew furious.
“You brat! Even if I’m injured, you can’t just say something like that….”
At that moment, Kwon Han-ul’s body vanished. He appeared before Kwon Myung-woo in an instant.
Before Kwon Myung-woo could react, he struck the back of his neck. Kwon Myung-woo lost consciousness without even a whimper.
“If you can’t even block that, how do you expect to fight?”
Kwon Han-ul brushed off his hands as he spoke.
During the fierce battle, Kwon Myung-woo had already depleted nearly all his stamina and mana. And now he wanted to fight again with a heart that had been pierced through?
He might actually die.
“The rest of you should leave as well. I’ll handle things here.”
Kwon Han-ul gestured. Kwon Jun-yeol and the Heukcheon Team were flustered and couldn’t make a decision.
That was when it happened.
“What did this punk just say?”
The Dragon Slayer had already closed the distance, standing directly before Kwon Han-ul.
“You’re saying you’ll face both of us alone? Let’s see you survive this first before spouting such nonsense!”
The Dragon Slayer brought his hand axe down with a tremendous aura.
Even as the Heukcheon Team watched the scene unfold, the speed was so incredible they nearly lost sight of the movement.
The axe blade sought to cleave through Kwon Han-ul’s head. In that instant, his body moved.
He twisted his body at the last possible moment, the blade grazing past his hair by a hair’s breadth. Simultaneously, he swept a kick at the Dragon Slayer’s thigh.
The thigh caved inward as the knee buckled. The Dragon Slayer’s eyes widened as if they might burst from their sockets.
“Ugh, ugh…cough!”
Before he could even scream, Kwon Han-ul’s fist drove upward into his jaw. The Dragon Slayer’s head snapped backward.
His chest was left completely exposed. Kwon Han-ul drove his elbow into that opening.
The massive figure bounced back like a ball, slamming hard into the distant wall.
“…Wh-what?”
Kwon Jun-yeol was too shocked to form words. The rest of the Heukcheon Team members felt the same.
Dragon Slayer.
The natural predator of all dragon-kind, Heukcheon’s equal.
That monster was sent flying so pathetically?
They couldn’t help but doubt whether they’d seen it correctly.
“I don’t like repeating myself, so listen carefully this time.”
Yet Kwon Han-ul paid the Dragon Slayer no further attention. He spoke, his gaze fixed solely on the Heukcheon Team.
“Take my grandfather and withdraw.”
