Episode 168
The three familiars going out to see the world for the first time without Min-ho.
“The air is really fresh and nice.”
A bronze-skinned man wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
Zaugg muttered in a voice full of excitement.
Clothing that didn’t match the chilly weather.
The source of those clothes was Min-ho.
“You thief. Why don’t you dress according to the time and season?”
“This body doesn’t even feel the cold.”
“Avoid such undignified appearances.”
“Do I look like a thug?”
“Hehe. When I dress like this, all the young ladies wave their hands at me.”
Sir Isra clicked her tongue with a tsk.
“Let’s use public transportation.”
“You mean that thing called the subway?”
“That’s right. Our Lord used it frequently before he had attendants.”
Sir Isra’s nose lifted upward.
The first Otherworldly Soul and the person who became Min-ho’s familiar first.
She stood confidently in front of the subway turnstile with a proud expression.
Clank—
“Hmm?”
Clank— Clank—
It won’t open.
The metal contraption that opened with a beep sound when Min-ho passed through was stuck in place like it was nailed down.
She could easily bend it with a little force, but.
‘This would bring shame to my Lord’s name.’
Her back became damp with sweat.
To come confidently to the turnstile and end up like this.
She had to find the answer before the witch could mock her!
“Hoho. Something not working well?”
“Damn it.”
Too late.
Sir Isra squeezed her eyes shut.
“Let me try.”
“It won’t be easy.”
“You have to use your head. This is why Iron Heads don’t work.”
Ingrid placed her hand on the turnstile.
[Wind Cutter]
She rearranged her mana in less than a second.
“Stop it, my lady!!”
If Zaugg hadn’t urgently shouted.
Wind Cutter would have cut one turnstile in half.
“Why?”
“Let me try.”
Sigh.
Zaugg sighed and stepped forward.
Sir Isra and Ingrid.
Both were powerhouses who had reached the pinnacle in their respective fields.
Perhaps that’s why.
‘They lack common sense.’
While the two familiars were struggling with the turnstile.
Zaugg carefully observed the people coming and going around this area.
“My lady. Let me borrow this.”
He snatched the card Sir Isra was holding and tapped it against the turnstile with a beep.
Click— The lock mechanism released and Zaugg’s body passed through without resistance.
“Puhehehe. Look at this. This is it.”
“H-how!”
“The answer was in the item our Master bestowed upon us?”
Zaugg puffed out his chest.
Behold.
The screwed-up appearance of the two familiars!
‘Puhet. There are definitely areas where I’m better.’
This was Zaugg who had controlled the dark alleys of the royal capital.
His combat ability was lacking, but he knew how the world worked better than the two familiars.
‘I found an area to appeal to the great lady.’
Zaugg laughed triumphantly.
The two familiars gritted their teeth at the sense of defeat they felt for the first time because of him.
“Hey there, thief.”
“Hehehe. What’s not working well?”
“Thief.”
“Please speak up. This archaeologist Zaugg will solve all your questions.”
“How do we get through?”
“Ah.”
There was only one card.
The three familiars couldn’t all pass through.
No matter how much Zaugg racked his brains, no answer came.
While the three were struggling in front of the turnstile.
“What are you doing here?”
A station employee approached and gasped with a “huk.”
The common trait of the three familiars was.
They had such handsome appearances that you’d believe them if they said they were celebrities.
Even without knowing that these were the summoned beings of Min-ho who had recently caused a stir in society.
Anyone could tell at a glance that they weren’t ordinary people.
“You must be foreigners who don’t know much.”
“Hahaha. Don’t know this country well.”
“If you don’t have a transit card, you can buy one with cash.”
Cash.
“My lady. Quickly give him that paper you received earlier.”
“How dare you! What safety are you talking about, telling me to hand over what our Lord bestowed!”
“It’s money. That is.”
“Money?”
“Currency.”
Zaugg had figured it out through intuition.
But the two familiars had never seen Min-ho use cash.
After much trouble, with the station employee’s help, they even purchased tickets.
They were able to pass through the firmly standing turnstile.
“We did it!”
“Hmph. It wasn’t even difficult.”
Zaugg glanced at the two serious familiars and smiled meaningfully.
‘Outside, I’m the boss.’
The thought of commanding two vassals already lifted his spirits.
Puhehe!
“Come on, thief. Let’s go.”
“We don’t have time to delay, do we?”
“Yes, yes. I’m coming!”
Zaugg suppressed his laughter and ran ahead.
* * *
The three vassals’ bumbling subway exploration.
“Should we get off now?”
“Our destination is still ahead.”
“Can’t we just fly? This is frustrating.”
“This transportation method is faster than expected, so please wait a little longer.”
Coaxing and soothing the two vassals who couldn’t adapt to modern civilization.
Zaugg finally arrived at the location he had identified during interrogation.
“Myeongdong, this is the right place.”
“Hohoho. It was nothing special.”
“You couldn’t have arrived without me, right?”
“I’ll acknowledge it. Thief. You’re quite useful too.”
“Even a slug has its rolling skills.”
Even with the two vassals’ condescending tone, Zaugg didn’t lose his smile.
‘Hehe. What matters is that I gained recognition.’
Before taking control of the royal capital’s alleys.
Zaugg was a bad man who had stolen many women’s hearts.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
By approaching them like this, he could win the favor of the two vassals.
Of course.
Winning their hearts didn’t mean seducing them romantically.
‘I know they prioritize our great lord above all.’
Loyalty.
Emotions beyond that.
Whatever it was, Zaugg had no intention of crossing the line.
It would be enough if he could establish his presence and make his life a bit more comfortable.
Meanwhile.
Isra minimized distracting thoughts and sharpened his senses to a razor’s edge.
‘The enemy group that tried to harm my lord is nearby.’
Unforgivable.
Losing the lord to whom he had pledged his loyalty once was enough.
He would slaughter them all.
“Sir?”
“Guide us.”
“This way.”
Zaugg opened a map on his tablet PC.
“Isn’t that Master’s?”
“I temporarily relocated it for this day.”
“You really are a thief.”
“…”
Not knowing whether it was praise or insult, Zaugg kept his mouth shut tight.
The three vassals’ destination was a building near the Embassy of China in South Korea.
[Dongbang Suksoo]
The place where Jung Shin-ho had secretly met with Supernatural Affairs Bureau officials.
It was a location discovered through interrogating the masked hunters.
“Welcome.”
Ignoring the staff member’s greeting, the three vassals looked around the store interior.
“Thief.”
“Found it.”
Zaugg, who had entered the store’s interior, tapped the floor.
Rumble rumble rumble.
The floor tiles slid left and right, revealing a path leading underground.
“Y-you people! How did you know about that!”
“I suppose we can consider you one of them too.”
Crack!
Unable to withstand the impact to his neck, the staff member’s body collapsed.
“Eek! Did you kill him?”
“Killing unarmed people goes against chivalry.”
“But you wouldn’t hesitate to kill if they resisted?”
“Obviously.”
The remaining staff members were also subdued in an instant.
Everyone in the store was non-awakened, so they collapsed without proper resistance.
“Since there are no decent weapons available, I’ll have to use this.”
Sir Isra gripped a kitchen knife from the kitchen.
Whoosh!
After swinging it through the air a few times, he quickly adapted and unleashed powerful sword strikes.
“This has a nice feel to it.”
Zaugg also grabbed a kitchen knife with an excited expression.
“Hmph. That’s why they call you iron heads.”
“Ingrid. You go to the flank with Zaugg.”
“You’re being serious now.”
“We’re punishing those who attacked our lord.”
“You said you were the first sword. You really are different.”
Ingrid also wiped away her playfulness.
“I’ll follow your command, Sir Isra.”
“Then I’ll go with you, sir.”
The passage leading underground.
Sir Isra, taking the lead, charged into the underground space without hesitation.
[Mana Emission]
Whoooong!
The twisted iron door was sent flying several meters.
Inside, several armed Chinese Hunters were waiting for the group.
They seemed to have noticed the commotion above and prepared accordingly.
“Intruders. This is as far as you go.”
“Do you know where this place is that you dared crawl in here?”
“Now that you’ve seen the underground, don’t think about returning alive.”
Five A-rank Hunters.
All were aura users.
“Go.”
Sir Isra waved his hand dismissively.
Despite the overwhelming difference in numbers, he showed no sign of hesitation.
“Good luck.”
“Be careful, sir.”
After the two vassals left their positions.
Sir Isra took a short, deep breath.
‘Good.’
He didn’t want to show anyone the technique he was about to use.
The technique carved into his soul the moment he grasped the [Fallen Knight’s Blood Longsword] during the exchange match.
To be precise.
It meant becoming the form that had gone mad with revenge and repeated only slaughter.
Unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
And it wouldn’t be released until not a single ‘recognizable’ living being remained nearby.
He could only use it after removing his companions from sight.
[Metamorphosis]
Black mana seeping out over his white shirt covered Sir Isra’s entire body.
His blue eyes turned red.
His always confident face twisted into a fierce, demonic expression.
“What the hell is that.”
“Is that even human?”
“That’s Park Min-ho’s summoned being. It’s not human.”
“That’s not what’s important right now.”
An overwhelming killing intent that made even A-rank Hunters shrink back.
Their hearts pounded as if facing a dragon, an SSS-rank legendary beast.
The people in the venue shouted with all their might, trying to shake off their fear.
“Kill it!”
“It’s only A-rank level at best!”
“Coordinate our attacks and finish it!”
The Myeongdong Branch had recognized that their plan had failed.
The success signal that didn’t come at the scheduled time.
For whatever reason.
The operation had failed.
Separately from that, they had already assessed Sir Isra.
His skill level could handle up to two peak A-rank opponents.
There were five A-rank Hunters in this place.
“What could he possibly do against such an overwhelming difference in power?”
“Let’s finish him quickly and take down the other intruders too.”
The Chinese Hunters’ thinking seemed reasonable at first glance.
Except for two errors.
The first was that he could supplement his forces by summoning the [Storm Knight Order].
“Our lord’s enemy!”
The fact was that Sir Isra, having returned to his vengeful spirit form from his lifetime, didn’t even need to deploy additional forces.
[Aura]
[Imperial Swordsmanship_Modified Isra Style]
[5th Form – Flash Strike]
The moment he thrust the kitchen knife forward.
A black whirlwind swept through and tore apart the A-rank Hunter standing in front.
It was the same aura as when he had wielded the [Fallen Knight’s Blood Longsword] during the exchange match with Emilia.
Blood gushing from the A-rank Hunter’s body, now separated into several pieces.
Though it should have fallen to the ground normally, it was all swept up and absorbed by the wind of the aura Sir Isra had released.
He had absorbed another’s life force as mana.
“I’ll kill them all.”
Sir Isra, having returned to his vengeful spirit days, smiled menacingly.
A short while later.
The Chinese Hunters who had come to intercept the intruders were all horribly dead.
