Yeon Si-mun

Only two remained.

Lee Dojin’s footsteps moved lightly.

He gauged the gap. The distance to instantly kill the opponent.

Rustle-

The undergrowth shook.

The bodies of the two rushed at Lee Dojin simultaneously.

One spear.

One sword.

A trajectory sharp enough to make ordinary hunters flinch.

But the sword paths Lee Dojin and they had experienced were different.

He had died a thousand times to Sword Emperor Dan Cheonwoo in Mistilteinn’s world.

And he had died about fifty times to Fist King Hwangbo Seryeong’s fists by now.

Lee Dojin had learned from them over time.

He had seen the killing blows that only those who had killed hundreds could possess.

How to walk and

How to swing to efficiently kill people.

It was Lee Dojin’s eyes that had received attacks that were not just close to death, but truly were death itself.

The sword path of the wooden sword twisted as if space was distorted.

No, even that was an illusion.

“Keurk!”

The wooden sword had already swept past the swordsman’s nape.

Eyes wide open in disbelief.

His vision slowly blacked out and tilted diagonally.

Puhwook!

The spear of the spearman deeply penetrated the dead swordsman’s chest. Of course, this was the result Lee Dojin intended.

Lee Dojin’s wooden sword stabbed into the spearman’s side. Lee Dojin pulled out the wooden sword without hesitation.

The face of the spearman on the brink of death was,

surprisingly, just cold.

Lee Dojin felt a terrible ominousness from that expression.

Killing intent.

It was too vicious for killing intent that glared at an opponent it couldn’t kill.

As if, it was killing intent filled with certainty that it could kill.

Lee Dojin read the spearman’s moving lips.

Die.

Brat.

Lee Dojin hurriedly threw his body backwards.

He swung his sword infused with colorless sword energy to create a sword barrier.

A curtain of transparent sword energy spread out in front.

Kwaaaang!

An explosion occurred. The spearman’s body had exploded.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere in the green forest.

“…”

It was self-destruction.

It wasn’t clear if he had anticipated death and self-destructed, or if he had intended to die together.

If he had stayed still, he might have received a small injury.

Lee Dojin brushed off the chunks of flesh stuck to his suit.

What makes them act like this?

Lee Dojin slightly furrowed his brow as he stared at the New Humanity Society’s 7th Seat Baek Hyun-su and Yeon Si-mun who were still continuing their battle.

It wasn’t particularly surprising that the battle was still ongoing.

Even to Lee Dojin’s eyes, that man wielding the snake-belly sword seemed quite strong compared to the five he had killed.

Red fighting energy was concentrated in Yeon Si-mun’s gauntlets.

Kagagak!

She deflected the blade of the snake-belly sword with the back of her left gauntlet and dug into Baek Hyun-su’s side.

Kwaaang!

Fist wind tore through the air. The snake-belly sword that met Yeon Si-mun’s right fist writhed like a snake with its head torn off.

Exchanges that ate away at the atmosphere continued twenty more times.

Pueouk!

Baek Hyun-su’s abdomen undulated.

Yeon Si-mun’s crushing fist distorted Baek Hyun-su’s battle suit.

Baek Hyun-su defended his body with the snake-belly sword and threw his body backwards.

Yeon Si-mun’s battle suit had been turned to rags by the blade of the snake-belly sword.

There were faint scars all over her body.

A quite deep sword wound was on her side.

Terrible pain stabbed her mind like needles, but she showed no sign of it.

Baek Hyun-su, who still didn’t know that all his subordinates had been killed, smiled bitterly.

“You’ve gotten stronger. But you still lack objectification of yourself.”

Yeon Si-mun just smiled at that mockery.

Lack objectification?

No.

She had certainly realized.

That if she fought with the determination to kill, she could definitely kill.

Hundreds of red light streams gathered in her right hand.

“You, die.”

Finally, Yeon Si-mun’s body itself became a red light and shot out.

Shiiiiik!

It was the sound of a snake.

The snake-belly sword full of blue sword energy rushed towards Yeon Si-mun’s waist.

Yeon Si-mun didn’t stop her extended foot,

Her thrust fist.

Rather, she accelerated her body by unifying fighting energy and muscles.

Her waist might be half cut off. But it didn’t matter.

What was certain was that she could crush his head.

A red light circled in Yeon Si-mun’s pupils.

Trade flesh for bone.

At that moment of decision.

Kwaduduk!

A streak of light fell from the sky.

Just before the snake-belly sword touched Yeon Si-mun’s waist, it was destroyed by Lee Dojin’s sword energy.

Dozens of blades swam through the air. Softly shedding blue light fragments.

“Let’s end this.”

The junior’s voice was heard.

Yeon Si-mun smiled brightly.

The face of New Humanity Society’s 7th Seat Baek Hyun-su, tinged with shock, came into view.

Jeooouk

The ground shook.

The green scenery distorted.

Hundred Step Divine Fist

The Shaolin ultimate technique unfolded from Yeon Si-mun’s right hand devoured Baek Hyun-su’s upper body.

Flesh and bone were crushed along with the battle suit.

Blood spurted from all over his body.

Organs miserably lost their functions, and the heart went silent.

Two legs collapsed, unable to withstand the loss of the destroyed upper body.

“…”

Yeon Si-mun glared at the corpse of the swordsman who had cut her senior brother’s neck for a while.

Yeon Si-mun staggered and sat down, leaning her back against a tree.

Yeon Si-mun naturally took out a pain suppressant and injected it above the scar on her side. Then she applied a recovery potion.

“Thanks. Thanks to you, my waist wasn’t sliced.”

Lee Dojin chuckled. Because it was ridiculous.

At her too nonchalant attitude. At her nonchalant words.

“Was it revenge?”

Yeon Si-mun slowly nodded.

“Yeah, that guy cut my senior brother’s neck.”

Lee Dojin knew Yeon Si-mun wasn’t the type to joke about this.

“Is it over? The revenge?”

“No, that guy was just the blade. The one who wielded it is separate. I’ve only killed the tool.”

Lee Dojin didn’t ask any more.

He just supported Yeon Si-mun. His hand touched the bare skin at her waist.

Yeon Si-mun grinned.

“Your hand is warm. I thought it would be cold.”

Lee Dojin silently continued to support Yeon Si-mun.

They went towards the five frozen companions.

Heo Chang-woo blankly looked over the five dead New Humanity Society members.

“…How do we clean this up?”

“You seniors don’t need to clean up.”

Lee Dojin came out of the dungeon.

And he took out his phone.

“Director. This is first-year student Lee Dojin who met you before with Sword Empress Yoo Seol-ah.”

-Oh oh oh! Yes! Student Lee Dojin!

He had called Awakened Management Bureau Director Kim Jung-woo.

“I killed 6 New Humanity Society members. In an undiscovered dungeon.”

-…What?

“You can handle this, right?”

-…We can.

He sounded tired even though they had only exchanged a few words.

-Mark the coordinates and wait.

“Understood.”

---

In the emergency room attached to the Awakened Management Bureau.

Yeon Si-mun was lying there.

Rattle-

After explaining the situation to Awakened Management Bureau Director Kim Jung-woo and leaving the main building, Lee Dojin headed to the emergency room building.

He knocked on the door of the room where Yeon Si-mun would be.

“Can I come in?”

The answer came immediately.

-Come in.

Lee Dojin opened the door.

Lee Dojin’s face stiffened slightly.

Yeon Si-mun smiled.

“As expected, males are weak to flesh color.”

Her lower body was fully covered in cotton pants.

But the upper body had a larger proportion of flesh color.

Except for the short cloth shirt thinly covering her chest, there was nothing else.

It was white skin.

To the point of being called ideal.

Her collarbone could be seen smoothly sliding between her silver hair.

A slightly plump cleavage peeked through the white cloth.

On her abdomen, clear abs were evenly set.

Lee Dojin was honestly flustered.

“You should have told me to wait when I knocked. Why did you tell me to come in?”

“I wonder why I did that? Hmm?”

Yeon Si-mun playfully touched Lee Dojin’s hand as he sat in the chair.

“So, what’s your impression?”

Lee Dojin said the impression he felt as soon as he saw her, and what he thought was most appropriate.

“…You’re beautiful.”

“How cute. Junior.”

Yeon Si-mun’s gesture flowed along Lee Dojin’s palm.

“Junior, you have a lot of calluses.”

“Because I hold a sword.”

“That’s right. Junior holds a sword, and I swing fists.”

Yeon Si-mun slowly removed her hand.

“I heard that this isn’t your first time dealing with the New Humanity Society either.”

“I killed one before. In the city.”

“I see.”

Yeon Si-mun paused for a moment, then stared quietly at Lee Dojin.

“I saw the leader face to face. And he’s the one who wielded the tool I just killed.”

Lee Dojin also stared intently at Yeon Si-mun.

“Let me know in advance when you go to kill him.”

“Why, to take care of the corpse?”

The New Humanity Society leader is strong.

It was a well-known fact that he had killed over a dozen S-rank hunters.

“No, I’ll secretly follow and join the attack. Because I can’t lose a friend.”

“Friend?”

“Aren’t we friends at this point?”

“Yeah, a junior like you is a friend.”

Yeon Si-mun smiled.

“How’s your wound?”

“They say if I stay still for about 3 days, there won’t even be a scar.”

“That’s good.”

Rattle!

Suddenly the door opened.

A woman with pink hair tied in a ponytail walked in briskly.

“Dojin! I heard from the teacher! You fought the New Humanity Society again…! Huh?”

And she opened her mouth wide seeing Yeon Si-mun half-naked.

“Ye-Yeon Si-mun senior? Why are you half-naked? Wh-wh-what were you two doing just now?!”

Yeon Si-mun looked at Baek Hwayeon like a cute puppy.

“What were we doing? Sword Empress’s disciple.”

“I-I’m asking seriously!”

“The junior was soothing my wounds.”

Lee Dojin stood quietly sandwiched between the two.
