Chapter Index

    ***

    “I was confident that I had experienced all kinds of bizarre things, but as expected, there is no end to my experiences.”

    A woman said, looking around.

    Her eyes, which were always filled with discomfort, were filled with curiosity for the first time in a long time.

    Paying no heed to the gazes of her companions, she strode along the small alley created by the building and swept the wall with her fingertips.

    The feel of the rough wall flowed through her hands.

    “There are a lot of square houses… The height hurts my neck.”

    “Well, it’s a different world.”

    After looking at it for a while, the group of people following her commented on it and opened their mouths.

    “That’s right. It finally feels real now.”

    “It was half a gamble… but I didn’t know it would actually work out.”

    The all-black woman shook her head.

    “What do you mean?”

    “The plan is for Mr. Kkumul to swallow you and move between dimensions.”

    Honestly, I thought Mr. Kkumul would absorb you…

    “Ha!”

    As the woman blurted out her words, the other person laughed.

    The woman with ponytail hair turned around and brought her face closer.

    “You didn’t mean to swallow it?”

    As her face appeared in those ominous, sparkling red eyes, the short-haired black-haired woman slightly leaned back.

    “…….”

    The short-haired woman kept her mouth shut because she couldn’t think of anything to say in response.

    Either way, the ponytail-haired woman smiled wryly.

    “The swarthy bastard showed a slight desire to digest me… but for some reason he didn’t try.”

    “Can you tell me why?”

    “Do you know the reason? I’m curious too.”

    “It’s because you tore open Mr. Kkumul’s mouth with your bare hands.”

    When the woman looked at me with puzzled eyes, the red-eyed woman cleared her throat.

    “So….”

    A red-eyed woman spoke as she headed to the end of the alley.

    The woman following her tried to stop her, but she was faster on her feet.

    As she left the alley, strong sunlight shone on the woman.

    Her bare face was revealed.

    “…….”

    Passers-by cautiously glanced at her exotic face.

    “I don’t even know what kind of place this is yet… but I shouldn’t draw too much attention.”

    The woman who followed, like a mother blaming her unruly daughter, explained to her.

    “Hmph, the eyes of the scum.”

    The red-eyed woman walked on without heeding anything.

    Ugh, the woman following me let out a long sigh at that sight.

    The two walked down the street.

    Uncomfortable looks were thrown at her by those around her, but the woman who took the lead, perhaps out of her characteristic arrogance or confidence, did not care.

    The woman with short black hair followed behind her and gave directions like a navigation system.

    – Guide.

    – Where?

    – Where is it, where is my disciple?

    They walked towards where they could feel the traces of the man they were looking for.

    The location wasn’t that far.

    “As I said before, it may not be here. No, there is a high probability that it does not exist.”

    “Jjongaljjongal… It’s noisy.”

    “It means don’t have unreasonable expectations. Here too… there is a chance that only traces of Mr. Inho remain.”

    “Your will is quite weak. If you can’t find it here, just go to another dimension.”

    “Yes, I guess so.”

    As if she were nagging her boss in the past, Lee Mi-na responded roughly, letting it go out of one ear.

    “So where should I go now?”

    “Everyone is here. It’s that place in the front. …But what is that?”

    The place they arrived was a square with a lot of traffic.

    “Hmm… It’s different from what I know… but it doesn’t seem like a place where very good things happen.”

    On the other side of the square, Namgung Soyu muttered as he gazed at the wooden execution platform.

    Paladins armed with iron armor were blocking the stairs, as if to prevent access to the execution platform.

    “Over there. I can feel Inho’s traces there.”

    “You said that if you want to know where Inho is, you have to investigate those traces, right?”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    “Then, I guess I should go up.”

    Namgung Soyu headed to the execution site without hesitation.

    The soldiers tilted their heads at the sight of the woman approaching them, then held out their spears and blocked her approach.

    “Stop. No one can climb the execution platform.”

    Even though two spears were aimed at his neck, Namgung Soyu’s eyes shined straight.

    “Guards who carry out their duties deserve praise…”

    Namgung Soyou bent his middle finger and placed it on his thumb.

    Just as the guards were puzzled by the sight as if they were flying a chestnut.

    “You didn’t have the foolish idea of risking your life even if you showed me your weapons, right?”

    – Just right

    With that sound echoing through the air, a huge shock wave hit the guard.

    The armor was crushed, and the guard was thrown straight into the wall of the building.

    “She’s a witch!! A witch has appeared!!!”

    The people in the square were distraught and began to run away as a result of the huge explosion.

    Namgung Soyu frowned at the loud noise, but did not stop climbing onto the execution platform.

    Her red eyes turned to Imina.

    It meant to come quickly and do the analysis.

    Imina suppressed the pounding in her head from her flashy actions and climbed onto the execution platform.

    “Mr. Kkumul, please do me a favor.”

    A dark figure stretched out from her shadow, covering part of the scaffold and twitching.

    “The more I look at it, the more disgusting it gets.”

    Namgung Soyu said harsh words to Mr. Kkumul.

    After a while, Imina, who had closed her eyes, opened her mouth.

    “…In-ho was executed here.”

    “Execution? Why?”

    “I think I was framed as a devil impersonating a saint.”

    “That’s right. It must not have been an easy death.”

    The Heavenly Demon muttered quietly.

    “Hmm… But something is strange.”

    “What do you mean?”

    Lee Mi-na felt like she was seeing the sea before a storm from Namgung So-yu.

    Just as Imina was about to answer, the square became noisy again.

    “Reveal your identity!!!”

    Knights and soldiers on horseback flocked to the execution site and surrounded them.

    “I asked what was strange now.”

    Nangong Soyu did not turn his head and continued to look at Lee Minah.

    “…In-ho’s traces can be felt in other places as well. Like…”

    “It looks like In-ho’s body was cut into small pieces and scattered in various places…”

    – Hwareuk

    Before Imina finished speaking, a huge fire broke out on the execution platform.

    With fire burning all over his body, Namgung Soyou asked again with cold, sunken eyes.

    “So what you’re saying is… these bastards killed my disciple and cut his body into small pieces and fed it to wild animals… What do you mean?”

    I didn’t go into that much detail.

    Imina swallowed her words internally.

    “I threw away my weapon and surrendered obediently… Ahh!!!!”

    The face of the knight who was at the front, urging them to surrender, just melted.

    This was because Namgung Soyu, who had already come down to the execution platform, grabbed his face with his palm and tore it off.

    “I will ask. Do you know Kang In-ho?”

    Namgung Soyu asked the adjutant with a pale face.

    “Kang, Kang In-ho?”

    “Don’t you know?”

    As a hand emitting dark black flames slowly approached, the adjutant spoke urgently.

    “Seo, are you talking about the saint? Or are you talking about a saint impersonator… Aaaa!!!!”

    Namgung Soyu’s hands tore off both of the adjutant’s arms.

    The adjutant on the horse was bleeding profusely and convulsing as he died.

    The soldiers, frightened by the terrible sight, slowly took a step back, and Namgung Soyu’s head turned with the eyes of a wild beast stalking its prey.

    “Whatever. You must die.”
