Chapter 151
151 – The Fairy Prince’s Benevolence (1)
0.
Fortunately, the war with the Sky Warriors concluded safely.
From the outset, after the initial phase, I had been observing and assessing the situation, so casualties were impossible to occur; moreover, since the executives and everyone performed excellently, no significant incidents arose.
Ma Hyun-seok’s swift suppression and assistance to the other executives played a crucial role.
After the executives’ battles concluded, there was nothing more to say.
The war had ended far too simply to deserve the name.
Well, I had dropped a meteor from the very beginning, so it was inevitable the war wouldn’t be difficult.
After the war ended, I collected and organized all the spoils, and the cleanup afterward took longer than the war itself.
Several days after the war, everything was finally organized cleanly.
Once organized, I found myself with nothing to do for the time being.
Of course, there was plenty to do.
The conquest and development of North Korea remained as well.
But that was Reinforce Guild’s work, not mine.
“I’ll develop it right away!”
We could only begin North Korea’s development once Gwen succeeded with liquid metal.
Moreover, rescuing Ma Chong-sa was the same situation.
Natalia was exceptionally talented, but she couldn’t function without a mana gun.
There were mana guns available immediately, but Andrew objected.
“I too have my passion ignited for mana gun development!”
He said he would bring back an even better mana gun.
I thought that was reasonable, so I let it be.
Besides, the remaining conquest of North Korea’s territories was already being handled by Reinforce Guild members, and the other tasks were being taken on by Jung Ji-hwan, Ma Hyun-seok, and Isabella.
In other words.
‘I have nothing to do?’
Even Woo-jin had been taken by Mary for sparring matches.
Only I truly had nothing to do.
‘Hmm.’
If I had to find something, it would be tracking down those sorcerers from the Deep Sea?
But both Uldin and Baya said they didn’t know the location.
Only the Elders share the location among themselves, so I was beginning to regret not crystallizing one of them.
Well, there was nothing to be done about it.
Besides, the newcomers—in Natalia’s case—were on rest until the mana gun was completed.
On the other hand, Evan’s older brother Sergei, who belonged to Reinforce Team 2, offered to personally oversee his training and leveling.
Well, just following the North Korea conquest would raise his level quickly enough.
Just in case, I gave him several pieces of equipment before sending him off.
Of course, after having him sign a contract.
‘The sea is too vast to search entirely.’
I had already completed most of the preparations before they arrived anyway.
I’m not sure how they’ll move.
I should be more cautious than with the other two factions, but I need to know where they are first.
I’m uncertain what strategy they’ll employ, but one thing was certain.
Won’t their appearance cause an enormous disturbance?
Since I’ve already made preparations, an incident like what happened in England won’t occur again.
After the England incident, countries around the world had made their own preparations.
And Min-jun was no exception.
After all, if Deep Sea monsters appeared in each port city and attacked like a wheel-turning formation, there would be nothing we could do but suffer.
That’s why we had to prepare.
Preparations only Min-jun could make.
Through a dedicated option, I could detect their attacks in advance.
Of course, it was a conditional feature like confirmed enhancement, but regardless, once they appeared, they couldn’t escape from Min-jun’s grasp.
Because of that, there was no need to reinforce our forces further.
The two new recruits we recently brought in were remarkable talents as well.
Search for more here?
‘I don’t know.’
From Min-jun’s perspective, it was truly ‘why bother?’
In Evan’s case, things worked out well because I saved him from being kidnapped and recruited him, but detecting and saving others?
How long would that take across this vast land?
My detection range was wide, but there was no need to push it.
Because hadn’t I confirmed it during this war?
Without the Elder, even without Min-jun, we had confirmed considerable combat strength.
Of course, ordinary guild members still needed to fight in groups of five even against Disaster Level 6 monsters, but what of it?
Even with Min-jun far away, we were strong enough to hold our ground.
Moreover, ordinary guild members had now reached the level where they could even solo Disaster Level 5 monsters.
We’d even sold 6-star equipment to various countries.
So there really was nothing to do.
‘Even if I tried to create work, there’s nothing.’
Min-jun exhaled and lay down on the sofa thinking this way.
They said it was a problem when subordinates were too competent, and this was exactly that situation.
It had been so long since I came home, yet it was already unbearably boring.
“Yaaaawn.”
Lying on the sofa with a long yawn wasn’t particularly enjoyable either.
It was comfortable and nice.
It had been a long time since I felt this way.
How could anyone live busy every single day anyway?
There were times like this when you could take it easy.
Min-jun put his mind at ease thinking this way.
After all, I’d already made preparations, and the executives were handling everything else.
All I had to do was rest.
How busy and fast-paced had my life become?
Since awakening, I could count on one hand the times I’d truly rested.
It was the same back in Germany.
Min-jun settled into the sofa with these thoughts, his eyes growing heavy as sleep beckoned.
Warm sunlight streamed through the windows of the Han River View Apartment with its magnificent vista, and drowsiness crept over him as he lay there.
This was what rest truly felt like.
Just as he was beginning to drift off with such thoughts, a sharp beeping sound pierced through Min-jun’s mind—*beep beep beep*!
“Damn it.”
The moment he tried to rest, these things had to act up.
Min-jun rose with considerable irritation, quickly assessed the location, and his expression darkened considerably.
“So they really want to test me.”
Thanks to his advance preparations, he could pinpoint their location with ease.
It was Busan, of all places.
1.
Ursula gazed at the vial she held in her hand, a smile playing across her lips.
What lay within this vessel was precisely what they had dreamed of most.
None other than the Fairy Elder’s essence.
In other words.
-The Monster King’s essence.
Ursula’s smile turned cold and predatory as she beheld it.
Now, once she bestowed this upon a suitable vessel, the work would be complete.
A new Monster King would be born.
Of course, initially it would be exceedingly weak.
But that mattered little.
The significance lay in the completion itself.
Yet there remained one formidable obstacle.
-The descendant of the Fairy Elder troubles me.
There was only one, naturally.
The Fairy Elder who had slain the actual Monster King.
And this time, it was that Fairy Elder’s descendant.
Even if she created a Monster King’s successor using the Fairy Elder’s essence, there was no way a newly-born creature could overcome an already fully-matured Fairy Elder descendant.
Thus, she needed to accelerate its growth as much as possible.
But the Monster King’s essence could not be granted to a monster.
After all, monsters themselves could never merge with the System in the first place.
The essence had been obtained by hacking the System through sorcery, but even that was merely temporary.
Monsters could not utilize the System.
To inject this essence, she needed a human vessel.
A human whose wavelength aligned perfectly with the Monster King.
Of course, she had not proceeded without understanding this.
And Ursula had naturally already identified such a human candidate.
Kidnapping them and injecting the factor would suffice, but I’ve abandoned any notion that this will be easy.
-The Heavens fell to the same fate, so will the Fairy Elder’s descendant truly move as slowly as last time when we make our move? No, that’s impossible.
Since they themselves are cautious, I judged that the Fairy Elder’s descendant—Min-jun—would be equally cautious, and surely he’s made preparations.
That’s precisely why we need more preparation.
We must execute a diversionary operation and kidnap all the candidate successors.
Humans have grown stronger because of the Fairy Elder’s descendant.
In this situation, I have no choice but to use my younger sister and her friends.
And there’s only one way to lure the Fairy Elder’s descendant.
-Either the old fools or myself….
To bait him, I need to use someone of considerable influence.
I’d like to use the Elders, but whether those stubborn creatures will obey is questionable.
Even now that Ursula has surpassed them in power, they still dwell on the past.
It’s so disheartening I can barely see straight.
But if Ursula—if I step forward myself, it becomes quite problematic.
My own death was already inconsequential to me.
Ursula desired only the monsters’ victory.
If we triumph, I was prepared to gladly sacrifice my life.
But after I’m gone, will things unfold according to my plan?
No, there are countless variables, and I cannot be certain myself.
-Sigh.
The problem was that if I sacrifice myself, I cannot guarantee what comes after, and securing the Elders’ cooperation is equally difficult—caught between two impossible choices, what she decided upon was unexpected.
-Inadequate though she may be, I have no choice but to trust my sister?
If it’s my own sister, I can at least trust and entrust this to her.
And just in case, I should make various preparations.
That way, I can have some peace of mind.
Only after completing these various preparations did Ursula rise from her seat.
If I encounter the Fairy Elder’s descendant, I will almost certainly die.
But that’s acceptable.
In the end, all that matters is winning the war.
Both the Heavens and the Underground have collapsed, leaving only us.
I will restore them no matter what.
With such solemn resolve, she moved forward.
And as Ursula’s younger sister and her friends followed in her wake, Ursula cried out.
-Bring them all back!
-Yes!
-Of course, sister!
They all answered simultaneously, and her sister answered likewise.
And their destination was Busan.
For that’s where the Monster King’s descendant candidate resided.
2.
The moment Ursula appeared, she didn’t sweep through the city in chaos.
She simply walked onto Haeundae Beach with confidence, and as the enchanting woman emerged in the chilly weather, people began to murmur among themselves.
However, Ursula’s overwhelming magical aura engulfed the crowd.
There were no casualties—she had merely revealed her magical presence without concealment—yet ordinary people collapsed from that alone.
The sudden appearance of a monster.
But since Ursula looked identical to any ordinary woman to anyone’s eyes, reactions were inevitably slow. Yet her magical aura soon cut off abruptly.
Cut off by a single man standing before her.
“It’s been a while?”
-Tell me about it.
The man gazing at the woman with an enchanting smile—or rather, Min-jun, now the world’s most famous person—stood before Ursula and narrowed his brow.
Even looking at her now, Ursula clearly had ulterior motives.
One could tell simply from how she appeared confidently without doing anything, as if waiting for him.
Moreover, though faint, he could sense monsters’ magical energy moving rapidly.
But there was one problem.
There was no one besides Min-jun who could stop Ursula.
If all the executives rushed at her, it might be different, but something else would be more efficient than that.
-Everyone has been assembled and is heading to Busan.
At Jung Ji-hwan’s contact, Min-jun nodded and looked toward Ursula.
He would figure out her true intentions soon enough.
“Since we both seem busy, let’s finish this as quickly as possible.”
-It won’t be that easy, will it?
