“Slash (慘激)!!!“

The moment I hit the katana hard at her.

Kagagak—Kagagak—!

The black light barrier surrounding her entire body blocked the sword attack.

A barrier so hard that it makes your wrists tingle.

It wrapped around her whole body very powerfully.

‘I knew it…! Even bullets won’t work like this…!’

“Ugh…my eyes…! I tried to look at his smooth face…! Knights! Cut that guy up right now!“

Cho Jin-hee followed her usual pattern and covered herself with a black veil,

She disappeared in an instant.

And then the skeleton knight who was guarding her side rushed towards me, holding a great sword.

He struck me with all his might in a slow but very restrained movement.

“According to the master’s orders…!“

Boom–!

bang!!!!

I dodged the attack by quickly jumping to the side,

When the knight’s greatsword hit the floor, a dent was created where I was standing.

‘What kind of power is that…!’

Without a moment to think, another skeleton knight pulled the bowstring.

Shhh—!

Several black arrows loaded with curses flew towards me,

After swinging the sword and deflecting all the arrows, he took his stance again.

Now that they were already on the defensive, it was clear that she would be hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity.

“Okay… You’re not going to show up…!“

I took out my revolver and aimed it at the skeleton soldier.

Then a voice mocking me rang out from the darkness.

“Oh my… That’s stupid, there’s no way ordinary bullets would work on my skeleton soldiers…“

Ta-ta-tang!

I quickly fired the revolver at both arms of the knight.

Kwasak–!

The knight, whose arms had been shattered helplessly, looked at me with a vain expression.

“What…what did you just do…?! No way…!“

“No matter how level 3 you are…! The summons you carry around are level 2…!“

He raised the blade to the side and quickly swung it horizontally.

Flames burned from the blade and struck the knight’s neck brilliantly.

Kagak—-! Kaga-gag—-!

With the sound of hard steel hitting the blade,

The steel armor surrounding the knight began to crack,

I twisted the blade as hard as I could and inserted it into the crack.

Suddenly—!

Degurr…

Then, the Skeleton Knight’s head fell to the floor and rolled around.

“This can’t be happening…! My Skeleton Knight…! My collection!!!“

“We haven’t even started yet…!“

I crushed the two skulls rolling on the floor with my foot.

I raised my flame katana and plunged it straight in.

Kwasik-!

Grrr!

The flame of the blade caught and burned very intensely,

The bones of the Skeleton Knight disappeared into ashes.

[congratulations! (Deadling undead) The condition has been met!]

[congratulations! You have acquired the hidden skill Demonization!]

‘done…!’

I raised my sword and glared at one of the pillars.

A subtle but shallow tremor felt as an [extra sense].

I could feel her standing in front of that pillar now, holding her breath.

“It’s hidden there…!“

“What…what?!“

I quickly closed the distance and fired my pistol.

Ta-ta-tang-!

Blah blah blah… blah…!

Gradually, her barrier began to crack.

She quickly leapt out of the darkness and swung her wand at me.

puck…!

I blocked the blow with my left arm raised.

A black curse protruding from the tip of the staff began to flow down my arm like a snake.

“Kk….!”

The moment when the curse mark that was so painful that day was engraved on my body again.

She smiled bitterly and walked away from me.

“You pretended to be strong… but this is the end!!!“

She made a creepy noise and pounded the floor with her staff.

At that moment, the black snake mark on my arm began to burn black and pain began to radiate.

Grumbling—-!

The greatest pain a human can experience.

The feeling of being burned alive.

As that pain flowed through my whole body,

My vision went black and blood flowed from my mouth.

At that moment, I almost collapsed and lost consciousness.

“Hehehe…!”

“Haa…! ha ha ha!!! There is no one who can endure that curse unharmed…!“

But I gritted my teeth and raised my katana.

And with a repentant smile, he spoke to her.

“Yeah…? But did you think I wouldn’t have expected this?“

“What…? What?”

I was very embarrassed when she reacted differently than I expected.

Before I could react, I quickly swung my sword in an X shape.

[Red Moon Muramasa]’s hidden skill [Demonization].

Immediately removes all debuffs on the user’s body and strengthens the body to the state of [Asura].

The forge craftsman’s belief that even if one commits murder, one can enter the path to nirvana by cultivating merit.

Even if it takes the form of a monster rather than a human,

The belief that he would annihilate the monsters coming from beyond the gate.

It allowed the sword user to awaken to [Asura], albeit briefly.

In the game, when a character uses this skill, he or she immediately gains power similar to level +1.

That means that from now on, we can immediately destroy Cho Jin-hee’s barrier.

I knew that there would be quite severe repercussions once the [Demonization] condition was lifted.

I didn’t care as long as I could destroy that bitch.

‘No matter what the cost.’

“In the end, everything flows correctly… I will devote myself to clearing out my karma…“

Let’s raise the sword, it’s even redder than before,

No, it goes from being infinitely red to being close to black.

Such flames seeped into the sword body, and the entire body began to burn dark red.

The black snake mark on his arm burned up and disappeared,

The feeling of pain that had been swirling around my head completely disappeared.

I sheathed my sword and took a deep breath.

“One glance!!!“

“Oh…don’t come!!! Knights!!! Protect me…!“

click-

bang!!!!!

With a powerful explosion sound like thunder, the entire nightclub is engulfed in bright light.

I swung my sword at Cho Jin-hee with lightning speed.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-gag—!

The barrier surrounding her was struck several times in an instant.

A powerful blow on a different level than previous attacks was delivered.

The black barrier was tattered like a piece of paper,

It felt like it would be completely destroyed if it received even a little more damage.

“It’s no use…!!! If you have that much power now, there’s no way you have any magic left… You’re dead now!!! This will be my new collection!!!“

‘They’re criticizing me.’

I stepped on her half-broken barrier and bounced into the air.

And after stepping on the ceiling with gravity reversed.

“Yeoncham(連斬)… and…“

Once again, the sword body began to burn very strongly with a dark red flame.

Just like the artisan’s belief that all unclean beings will be burned to death.

“One strike, two consecutive strikes!!!!!“

bang!!!!!

Ka-ga-ga-gag—!

Clink—!

Cho Jin-hee’s barrier shattered with a sharp sound like glass.

I immediately landed on the ground and sheathed my sword.

click-!

Crispy…!!!

Cho Jin-hee’s left and right hands, and even all the accessories she was wearing.

All the magical artifacts that were supplying her with magical power were shattered at the same time.

“Ma… That’s ridiculous…!“

Jo Jin-hee fell to the floor, and her staff rolled around on the floor.

I took a deep breath, raised my revolver, and glared at the Skeleton Knights.

Although the magic power is exhausted right now,

I still had enough strength to fire the gun.

“Okay… let’s try again…”

But they moved differently than I expected.

“I will follow the new master…“

One by one, they began to kneel down and bow their heads to me.

Afterwards, he picked up the staff that had fallen on the floor and politely presented it to me.

‘I didn’t even think about this…?’

I took the staff that the Skeleton Knight gave me and put it into subspace.

I aimed the revolver at the Black Death Sect boss and approached.

Then she fell to the floor, sobbing and repeatedly bowing her head to me.

It was a reversal from the day that took Natsuki’s life.

“Please…please save me!!! please…! Well… I’ll do anything…! money…! There is money, there are people…! okay!! Yes, I will also hand over the position of the Black Party!! Please.. save my life..!“

I pointed the gun and pointed toward the basement.

Then I looked down at her coldly and said calmly.

“Even after doing such trashy things up until now, you are disgustingly begging for your life. You knew, a day like this would come someday.“

“Ah…no…! Save me! please…! Yeah, it was sent by the organization… right? I’m really sorry for rejecting you last time…! I’ll be loyal this time! Really…!“

She was holding my leg and crying.

It seemed like the organization had contacted her before.

At the time, it seemed like she had rejected their deal.

Now it seems to her that I have come to take revenge in the name of that organization.

I looked at her without saying anything,

I decided to see if there was any sense in showing her mercy for once.

“What do you plan to offer me in the future?“

“I… I…! That’s right, they say they need sacrifices for human sacrifice…! Now that I think about it, rather than using them as manufacturing labor… I’ll give all the people here to you…! Please!!!“

I looked down at Cho Jin-hee without saying anything,

He smiled sarcastically at her.

“Ahaha… Do I look like one of those pseudo-guys in your eyes?“

“Uh…?“

I had my finger on the trigger and looked down at her coldly.

As the final moment approached, I felt Cho Jin-hee holding something and preparing to swing.

Another betrayal of the Black Death Sect could be felt through Ourobors’ ring.

The snake ring is informing me of the black snake’s final struggle.

It was a truly strange situation.

“It’s not enough to enslave innocent people… You’ll even sacrifice human beings…?“

“Now…wait a minute…! Ah… no!! What I was trying to say is!!!“

bang!

There was a bullet hole in her forehead.

Jo Jin-hee, the boss of Heuksapa, welcomed Choi Woo.

There was a small wand hidden under her wrist.

I put the silver wand into subspace.

“Tsk… I tried to look after it, but until the end… Han Tae-woo… or this bitch. “

I held my staff and looked at the Skeleton Knights.

They all knelt down together, preparing to receive their new master’s orders.

“Everyone, let’s clean up this place from now on. I need to prepare to welcome guests.“

“honorary name.“

The knights all bowed their heads to me and greeted me politely.

Then, they carried the bodies of Cho Jin-hee and the gang members and headed somewhere.

They were quickly cleaning up the scene of the incident, bringing in tables and chairs that had been brought in from somewhere.

‘It’s a Skeleton Knight… it’s convenient… I can probably use it usefully in the future.’

I jingled the silver key I had in my pocket.

‘Okay then, let’s go down to the basement.’

I headed to the back room, where there were several beds and adult toys scattered around haphazardly.

As I saw in the newspaper article that day, I searched for a hidden door somewhere.

Thanks to [extra senses], I was able to quickly find the hidden space beyond the wall.

When one of the lights hanging on the wall was pulled, the condom vending machine was pushed to the side.

When I went down the stairs, it was so dark that I couldn’t see anything.

I could hear people murmuring there,

As soon as I heard my footsteps, there was silence.

Click-!

I turned on the switch on the wall, and a terrible sight came into view.

About twenty men and women were tied around their necks and legs with iron shackles.

They were hurriedly tearing open and packaging the white plastic blocks placed on the table.

Not only that, but various flasks and scientific instruments were crudely assembled.

They were manufacturing a significant amount of drugs that could be used by tens of thousands of people at the same time.

Among them were children and old people, and they were all looking at me with fearful expressions.

They all had a black snake symbol engraved on their left arm,

It seemed like she had been manipulating them through terrible pain all along.

‘…As expected, I did a good job of killing him.’

I walk slowly towards them

They sat down on the floor, trembling.

I took off my gas mask and spoke to them.

“Is Park Min-hee here by any chance?“

“I…it’s me…master…!“

‘master? What on earth did these bastards do to these people…’

The woman who called me master limped quickly towards me.

Then he bowed his head to the floor and lowered his eyes to the floor.

There were numerous red scars on her back and wrists,

He was wearing a frayed dress shirt and looked gaunt.

“Your daughter, do you remember her name?“

“Yu…This is Yoo Ji-hye…“

‘thank god. I don’t think they’ve administered any medication yet.’

I sighed in relief and scratched my head.

Then she began to kneel down on the floor, shedding tears.

Then he started begging me, rubbing his palms together.

“Please…please, I’ll do more work…please don’t catch my daughter…please…!“

I sighed with mixed feelings and lifted her up.

She was shaking and looked at me with eyes full of fear.

“Minhee Park, your daughter sent me here. Please wait here for a moment and then move with me.“

“Yes..?“

I untied the shackles on her hands and feet and handed her the key.

“After releasing everyone here, please wait here for a moment.“

I raised my hands and shouted at those trapped underground.

“You are safe from now on! The leader of the Black Death Sect is now dead, just wait a moment and we will return everyone home.“

“Are you sure…! Live…live…!“

“Ugh…Mom…Mom…“

“God… Thank you… Thank you…!“

“Nonsense… That can’t be possible… No… It might be a lie… “

After speaking, I headed upstairs.

There were just a few chairs placed on the dance floor.

Although the blood stains could not be removed yet, we were able to have a simple chat.

“Sorry, master. I couldn’t find anything to wipe.“

“Okay, it’s better to look ugly to set the mood.“

I raised my left arm and commanded one of the knights.

“After a while, when I give the order, one person will bring all the people trapped in the basement up.“

“You can’t touch the owner’s things…“

“Uh-huh, do as I tell you. Forget everything the previous owner did.“

“… Honorary name.“

The Skeleton Knight tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand,

Soon, as ordered, one person went down to the basement.

bang–!

At that moment, the door of the nightclub opened forcefully and many people came in.

A ragtag group of young girls wearing funky street fashion.

The members and leader of “Fallen Star.”

It seemed like Natsuki had arrived.

She looked at me, her white ponytail flowing,

He soon changed his black eye patch and confidently approached me.

” Wow… I couldn’t believe it. I never thought they’d wipe out all of the Black Sect…“

I relaxed and poised myself arrogantly, like a king sitting on his throne.

Now she doesn’t know anything about me,

I knew many things about Natsuki.

‘Roughly… I think the conversation will flow more easily if I look like an acquaintance of the teacher.’

Right now, in this place, there is only one thing I want.

Just to prevent all areas and power of the Black Death Sect from being transferred to other criminal organizations.

If she is a woman who works wholeheartedly by gathering people who have nowhere to go,

I could trust and leave the other areas in charge.

After clearing my throat, I calmed down and spoke softly to her.

“Do you know the genius who was turned into a stuffed animal?“

“I know better than anyone… It’s you, the person who made the prank call.”

She glared at me, holding a silver dagger.

“You can’t believe you’re doing something like this alone… and that’s a man? You’re really amazing…”

“I’m just one of the citizens passing by. Don’t stare too intently.”

“Huh, that’s it. So, why did you call me, let’s have a blast?“

‘It goes straight to the point…’

I crossed my legs and looked at her.

She raised her head straight and looked at me without being swayed by the momentum.

All transactions had to be completed before the side effects of [Demonization] occurred.

It would be better to deal with the traitor next to her in advance.

After taking a moment to catch my breath, I began to calmly organize my hair.

My first love and my lover who sadly passed away.

I didn’t want to be harsh to her, though.

Now, this is definitely a place for gang bosses.

The time has come to show manners appropriate for the position.

I barely swallowed the words coming out of my throat, saying to her, ‘I missed you, Natsuki.’

To arouse as little suspicion as possible and at the same time hand her everything.

I’m ready to play all my cards.

It was reunion time.
