28. Reunion, Reunion.

“Ah… Haa… Haa…!”

 

 

The woman closed her eyes tightly, groaning in pain.

It was truly excruciating pain.

 

Seo-hyun carelessly tossed aside her wrist, which had been bent in the opposite direction, and squatted down in front of her face.

She must have felt terrible pain, but her expression was that of someone who wouldn’t give in.

She stared at her with eyes full of anger and hatred.

 

 

“Why are you looking at me like that? Anyone would think you’re wronged.”

 

 

Seo-hyun, who had been looking at her with her chin resting on her left hand, raised her right index finger and poked her shoulder.

 

At first, gently.

Just barely touching the soft flesh.

 

But it continues.

She keeps pushing in with force.

 

 

“Keuk…!”

 

Eventually, Seo-hyun’s finger began to tear through the skin on her shoulder and enter inside.

 

 

“Keuheueup…!”

“I told you not to look at me like that? You look like someone who’s been wronged.”

 

Pook!

 

 

“Aaaaaaaagh!!!!”

 

 

Unlike the difficult (?) push and pull (?) until now, Seo-hyun’s finger easily pierces through.

It pierced so deeply that it could almost be said to be all the way in.

 

 

The pain of piercing through not only the outer fat but also the muscle and even the bone was beyond imagination.

 

Blood streamed down from her tightly clenched lips, and tears flowed from her tightly closed eyes.

 

 

“You’re not wronged at all. You bastards didn’t know your place and plotted to harm Master-nim, and you came to deliver that order. In other words, you’re an accomplice.”

“Yo…you bi… Aaaagh!!”

 

She bends her finger while it’s still stuck in.

It wouldn’t normally be possible, but Seo-hyun, who had transcended humanity as a Bochnia and whose stats had even broken through the universe, did it so easily.

 

Pshooosh!

 

 

Bright red, hot blood gushed out like a hot spring.

 

 

“Well, enough with the expressions. Now, talk. What are those bastards trying to do? I roughly know, but still.”

“There’s…noth…ing…”

“Ah. How boring. Why are you like this? Let’s make life a little easier, huh?”

 

Pudeuk!

 

 

“Keuheup!!”

 

Seo-hyun pulls out her finger, which she had made into a hook shape.

A large chunk of flesh and bone from her shoulder came out with it.

 

Seo-hyun grabbed the woman’s hair, who was struggling in terrible pain, and stood up.

Her face, which had already been assaulted several times, was swollen here and there, and there were considerable traces of blood flowing from her lips.

 

 

“You can heal all of this anyway. So, if you’re thinking that I’ll hold back because you’re a woman, you’re sorely mistaken.”

“Tuh!”

 

 

The woman spat at Seo-hyun’s crotch.

 

 

“You sons of bitches…!”

“Oh my.”

 

The light disappeared from Seo-hyun’s eyes.

 

 

Bbaak!

 

 

And her hand mercilessly slapped the woman’s cheek.

 

 

“Did they teach you to spit on other people’s things?”

 

 

Bbeoeok! Peok! Peok!

 

 

This time, she kicked the fallen woman’s stomach several times.

Then, grabbing her ankle as she clutched her stomach and coughed, she headed somewhere.

 

The woman being dragged along.

Since it wasn’t a well-paved road like a modern city, her clothes were torn here and there on the bumpy road and various rocks, and her skin was torn, causing blood to flow.

 

“I think I was wrong. You’re not just a messenger, are you? There’s no way someone of that level would go this far, right?”

 

 

And so began the eerie reasoning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Casting that kind of gaze and even spitting means…you’re someone related to yesterday’s events. Someone close to you died, or…you became Master-nim’s maid. Either way, you’re someone who’s connected to those bastards and even holds a grudge against us…and your role is to invite Master-nim to the trap party. You’re probably flaunting your pretty face, right? You might have been selected. Well, your face was pretty decent. Good enough to eat, I guess.”

 

 

“If you were selected because of your face even though you don’t know what kind of things you’ll be subjected to along the way, you probably aren’t in a very high position. Or maybe you’re the child of a high-ranking noble, but that noble died and you lost your power. Or maybe the actual members of your family were wiped out. I guess we could consider that too. The possibility is low, though. Anyway, the important thing is that you’re not in a very high position right now. Of course, you’re not in a very low position either. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been sent.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seo-hyun kept walking and kept talking.

She was blatantly walking across the road, so more and more people were witnessing it, but she didn’t care at all.

 

 

“Hey!!”

“Stop!!”

 

 

Someone who appeared to be a knight led soldiers and blocked Seo-hyun’s path.

 

 

“What are you doiㅡ.”

“Could you not block me? Before I tear you limb from limb for obstructing official business.”

“Official…business…?”

“That’s right, official business. Eradicating those who dared to harm Master-nim is a public duty for humanity, beyond the palace. So, move.”

 

The knight, smelling a serious crime in her words, drew his sword.

 

“Seize her immediatelyㅡ,”

 

Seogeok.

Poohwak!

 

 

Before he could finish speaking, his head soared into the sky.

At the same time, blood fountains spurted from his limbs, and his dismembered corpse was scattered on the floor.

 

 

“C-Crazy!!”

“Sir Donald!!”

“Attack!!”

“Catch her!!”

 

 

The soldiers straightened the spears they were holding and stabbed at Seo-hyun.

But by then, she had already disappeared.

She was behind the soldiers with the woman she had been dragging along.

 

 

“Savages, can’t you hear me? Or do you want to die?”

 

 

She grabbed the woman’s hair with her left hand and swung her right hand.

Pook! She stabbed one of the closest soldiers with a thorn that had grown on her palm.

 

 

“Keuheup!”

 

After retracting the hand she had stabbed with, she immediately grabbed his neck and threw him at the remaining soldiers.

 

 

“I’m busy, so just die on your own.”

“Catch her!!”

 

The soldiers who had caught their comrade gently placed him on the floor, and just as they were about to rush back to Seo-hyun, their comrade’s body heaved greatly.

 

 

Pshooosh!!

 

“Kkeuaaaaaagh!!!!”

 

 

Booook!

 

 

Something like a human hand popped out, sliced open his stomach, and tore apart his sturdy body to the left and right, giving birth to a small girl.

 

 

Seo-hyun, who had glanced at that much, started moving her feet again, and soon a terrible scream erupted from behind.

 

 

 

“Mo…monster….”

 

The woman, who had already lost the strength to speak, barely muttered.

Seo-hyun snorted lightly.

 

 

“Do you know now? More importantly, I wonder if you’re thinking about talking now. Where do I need to go?”

“Heh…I won’t…talk….”

“Hmm…is that so?”

 

Seo-hyun entered one of the nearby buildings.

 

“?”

 

 

The woman, who was being dragged along, tilted her head in bewilderment, and saw that it was an inn.

 

 

 

“Welcomeㅡ,”

Peok!

 

 

The male employee who greeted them cheerfully as soon as they opened the door.

But unfortunately, his head exploded before he could finish speaking.

 

 

“!!!”

 

 

The bustling inn froze in an instant.

 

 

“…Kyaaaaaagh!!!”

 

 

The screams that burst out belatedly.

 

“W-What’s going on!”

“This is official business. I hope everyone will cooperate.”

“Official…business…?”

“Cooperate?”

 

Seo-hyun, who had roughly thrown the woman aside, spread her arms to about 30 degrees to the left and right.

 

 

“Yes. Official business. I’m trying to catch those impudent bastards who dared to defy Master-nim, but I don’t know exactly where they are. So….”

 

 

And then she smiled.

 

 

“Everyone, just die.”

 

 

Chwarang!

 

Nails about 2 centimeters long protruded from both hands, and she swung them without hesitation.

Then, the party of 3 men and 1 woman who were sitting closest were scattered into minced meat, like ground meat put into a suit.

 

 

“…Ah? Was that a woman just now? Hmm….”

 

 

1 person at the entrance, and then 4 more after entering.

She had killed 5 people in an instant and had a face without any remorse.

The expression she had now, as if she was pondering, was just thinking about whether the woman she had just killed was a beauty or not.

 

 

“Well, it’s okay. If she was a beauty, I would have noticed her right away.”

“Y-You bitch!!!”

 

 

Were they comrades?

The party sitting across from them all stood up at once and grabbed their weaponsㅡ,

 

 

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

 

 

But they were also scattered into pieces of meat and splattered on the walls and floors.

Seo-hyun, who had turned the inn into a bloody mess in less than a minute since entering.

 

 

She didn’t stop there.

 

 

She roamed around the inn, which had become a scene of carnage, and slaughtered everyone: people who were screaming, people who were attacking, people who were defending, people who were sitting down and trembling, people who had come down from the second floor because of the commotion, and so on.

 

 

“W-What…are you doing…?!”

 

The woman felt both shock and fear at the same time at that Rakshasa-like appearance.

 

“What am I doing?”

 

 

Seo-hyun, covered in blood, replied nonchalantly.

 

 

“Since you won’t guide me, I have no choice but to search every single place, right? You’ll have to accept a little damage in the process.”

“….”

 

 

As she answered that, she blew off the head of the innkeeper, who was trembling and rubbing his hands together.

 

 

 

 

The woman’s mind went blank.

These are people who have nothing to do with this.

But she suddenly barges in and indiscriminately slaughters them.

 

 

She doesn’t know where they are, so she’s searching every single place?

Then she could just go up to the inn rooms and open the doors, why is she killing people!

 

 

Her mentality, which had not yielded to any pain, faltered for the first time.

 

 

“Hmm~.”

 

 

In the meantime, Seo-hyun went up to the second floor.

 

-Who…Aaaagh!!

-Kyaaaaagh!!

-Save…Keoeok!

 

 

Ear-splitting screams and the sound of flesh tearing.

When it stopped after a while, Seo-hyun walked down the stairs, step by step.

 

 

And then she came back to the woman and grabbed her hair and lifted her up.

 

 

“They’re not here.”

“….”

 

 

They’re not here.

Is that all she has to say after killing dozens of people who had nothing to do with this?

 

“Next…Ah! That’s right. Since they’re nobles, they might have gone into ordinary commoners’ houses to catch us off guard. They probably thought it was a brilliant idea.”

“!!!”

“But it doesn’t matter. I’m a competent cum dumpster. I can find things like that.”

 

Seo-hyun started moving towards the person who was peeking his head out the door because of the commotion just now.

He saw Seo-hyun covered in blood and closed the door in shock.

 

 

Kkwak.

 

 

And the woman who was being dragged along grabbed Seo-hyun’s leg.

 

 

“I’ll…tell you…just…do it…!”

“Oh my. Is that so?”

 

 

Seo-hyun smiled and lifted her foot.

 

Bbeoeok!

 

 

And then she stepped on the woman’s stomach.

 

 

“Kahak!!!”

“You’re so fast, aren’t you? You could have just told me from the beginning.”

 

Seo-hyun let go of her hair and waited for her to calm down (?).

Soon, she would find out the location of those impertinent things, and she was thinking about how to deal with them…

 

 

“Oh, right! Aren’t you curious? I could have just pretended not to know and followed you, which would have been the easiest thing to do, but why didn’t I do that?”

“…?”

 

 

The woman, who was panting and trying to get rid of the pain, glanced up at Seo-hyun.

 

 

Come to think of it, that would have been the easiest way.

She could have just been guided by her normally, and then gone wild afterwards.

But why did she choose this roundabout method?

 

 

 

“I’m going to give a warning to the Princess. If she does well, she could become Master-nim’s wife, but do you know how annoying and irritating it is to see her being so picky and not knowing the blessings in front of her? So, I’m letting her know. I really mean it when I say I ‘don’t care about the means or the method’.”

 

 

A cold expression.

The woman felt like the blood in her whole body was drying up.

 

 

“Now, tell me. Where are those bastards?”
