by fnovelpiaA few months later, inside an abandoned building.
Those who were analyzing the body inside jumped up from their seats and greeted a woman when they saw her approaching.
“Ice Queen, are you here?”
“There’s no need to welcome it so much.”
She shook her head with a tired expression as she watched those who greeted her politely.
“Who is the latest casualty?”
“Yep, this death is a B+-class villain Tokshin!”
So the Ice Queen asked a man who was the victim of the incident,
The man answered her questions point by point.
“Since he called me, I guess it was him who did it again?”
“Yes, the sign is different than before, but judging from the disappearance of the gun without a serial number that Ice Queen requested, and several items around, it seems to be the Maker’s doing this time too!”
The man who said that handed over a gun without a serial number.
It was clear that the maker had done it.
“Hoo..”
The Ice Queen sighed for a moment and then approached the corpse.
“B+ grade villain talk scene..”
The villain who died this time is Tokshin, a B+ grade villain who has dipped his feet in the upper ranks.
‘A high-level ability user who can create various types of poison.’
Although no poison with lethal power has been developed yet, this is a case where a B+ is given considering the risk of the ability.
And then there’s the situation where the villain dies with his eyes rolled back and his tongue sticking out.
His entire neck was covered in bruises.
“Haa. Another dead one.”
She’s seen a variety of corpses during Maker’s villain hunt over the past month.
From poisoning to death.
Beaten to death.
Killing by water, killing by burning, etc. And now, strangling.
‘It was a murder committed as if it were an experiment.’
How could we know who the culprit was, even though they were killed in so many different ways?
Thanks to the phenomenon of objects around him disappearing into dust, which was a characteristic of his supernatural ability.
An example of this was the abandoned gun without a serial number, used this time to subdue the villain.
“..There’s nothing more to learn here.”
But that’s it.
Since he had already disappeared without a trace except for the gun, nothing was known about the culprit except that he was the Maker.
“…Is that so? Sorry. We called you for no reason..”
“No. It’s still temporary, but I’m the guy’s ‘in charge’, so if I can get even a small clue, it’s good to come.”
“Thank you for saying so.”
“Please don’t be so rude. I’m not just saying empty words, I’m just expressing my true thoughts.”
After saying that, she went out feeling a little frustrated.
And then he walked away without a destination.
‘How many people have you killed so far?’
Ice Queen was frustrated with the investigation ending without any progress.
Even if all the characters killed were villains and hopeless trash, this wasn’t it.
No matter what, it’s killing a person.
Whatever his purpose, whatever his intentions, he was a murderer.
‘What the hell is that guy thinking?’
An experiment of some kind? Or…
-…This is why I hate heroes.
Does it mean something else?
Maybe it was an order from the organization.
“Sigh..”
I don’t know..
The Ice Queen sighed deeply, feeling frustrated at the situation where she could do nothing but chase after him.
‘This also needs to be resolved..’
The images on the screen that appear when she turns on her smartphone.
In it, the Maker is shown killing villains in various ways.
-Wow!
-Well done, that piece of trash!!
-As expected from a maker!!
And those videos were spreading all over the internet.
“Where on earth do you find all those videos?”
The problems that arose after he committed murder did not end with just a dead person.
As soon as the Maker killed the villains and the Association started to make media play with the news, an anonymous user inevitably appeared and started to spread the video.
Accordingly, the current situation is one where people who like makers are sprouting up like mushrooms and praising anonymous distributors.
Even if the association sanctioned the video or photos a few hours later, it would be meaningless because the information had already spread far and wide.
The Ice Queen was in trouble.
‘A person who is difficult to track down because he roams the dark web.’
Every time the association put out an article criticizing the maker, a video was released to refute it.
‘I don’t think the maker himself would have done that…’
Given his tendencies so far, it’s unlikely he would have taken the initiative to release the video.
It’s possible that his organization was handling the matter without his knowledge, or more likely it was some other third party.
But in Eclipse, there is no reason to package the maker.
‘Then it naturally follows that a third party hacked the CCTV and leaked the information…’
Why on earth..?
Ice Queen let out a deep sigh, wondering why her head hurts so much whenever she gets involved with Maker.

“Go.”
“Come on, come on.”
Inside the Eclipse training grounds.
An Ye-ri and Lee Ga-yeon were sparring with each other.
Kugugugu-
With An Ye-ri’s permission, Lee Ga-yeon quickly approached her while manipulating the ground.
She swung her sword towards Anye-ri’s neck, accelerating.
Phew-!
“Sa, there’s too much murderous intent in it..”
An Ye-ri said that and easily avoided it.
Lee Ga-yeon used her powers without panicking.
Woof-
She caught Anye-ri’s blind spot in an instant by teleporting.
Chae-Ang-
“Aiming at the back is a characteristic of those with warp abilities…obvious.”
An Ye-ri blocks this too with ease.
Lee Ga-yeon increased her speed without stopping.
Cheng- Kaang! Kang!
Lee Ga-yeon occasionally uses her telekinesis to throw rocks at An Ye-ri, and attempts close combat with swordsmanship.
but.
“..Sword fighting won’t work on me.”
grasp!
Anye-ri lightly kicked Lee Ga-yeon and pushed her away.
“Joe, think a little more.. The kid’s head is stiff.”
“Huh.”
Lee Ga-yeon lightly snorted at the words that guided her.
She used her powers once again.
Woof-
She used teleportation once again to follow Anye-ri.
Accordingly, as if predicting this, Anye-ri turned her waist and tried to swing her sword.
“The same method..”
“This time it’s different.”
Kugu Palace-
Just before Anye-ri swung her sword, she activated her supernatural ability and slightly raised the ground she was standing on.
And without hesitation, she did an aerial tumble and fell in front of Anye-ri.
At that point, there was a delay before Anye-ri could retrieve the sword.
Wheein-
Lee Ga-yeon used her power to control the wind, distracting Anye Ri’s vision and increasing the acceleration of the sword she swung.
Additionally, An Ye-ri’s sword was fixed with psychic powers, making it impossible to quickly retrieve the weapon.
“My victory.”
She was confident of victory.
Kaang!
“.”
Until An Yeri quickly dropped her weapon and blocked the attack by hitting the side of the sword with her palm.
“It’s foul play.”
Lee Ga-yeon’s cheeks puffed out.
An Ye-ri scratches her head in embarrassment.
“..Uh,uh? Why? What did I, did I do wrong?”
“I decided to only use swords. But I used other weapons.”
“This, this is armor..”
“It’s foul play.”
“That, and just now, with the dry technique, it’s possible with bare hands…”
“It’s foul play.”
As An Ye-ri panicked and tried to explain, Lee Ga-yeon puffed out her cheeks even more.
“You can’t bully my sister, Gayeon.”
At the sound of the man’s voice, the girl and the woman turned their heads in the direction of the sound.
“Brother.”
When Lee Ga-yeon sees him, she throws down her sword and runs towards him.
“Have you been training well?”
“Yeah.”
As she spoke proudly, the maker chuckled and patted her head.
“Oh, you’re here, Mr. Maker..?”
“Yes, I’m back, Yeri. Is your training going well?”
A maker who takes off his hat and starts tapping it.
It seemed as if he had just returned from a mission, and when he shook his hat, dried blood fell off like powder.
“Yes, yes.”
“I know how to do more than just teleportation now. I’ve learned close combat too.”
I’ve become a lot stronger.
An Ye-ri nods as if to say the same thing.
An Ye-ri herself felt that she had grown a lot since the beginning.
“So, does Yeri think it’s okay to go on a mission now?”
A question from the maker with subtle expectations.
At those words, An Ye-ri thought for a moment.
‘I wouldn’t say that the combat is efficient, but… he has a good sense of striking, and he seems to be gradually becoming accustomed to using his powers. He still tends to separate his powers from himself, though…’
That will be resolved as you gain experience.
As a result, An Ye-ri thought that she would no longer go anywhere and get hit.
“…Yes. If it’s a personal mission, no, two, more than two missions…I think it’ll be okay..”
“Okay then.”
Maker, who chuckled at An Ye-ri’s words, lowered his head, looked at Lee Ga-yeon, who was staring at him, and held out his hand.
“Ms. Gayeon, let’s have some fun terrorism together.”
“Okay.”
Lee Ga-yeon nodded without hesitation and took his hand.
***
“Are you ready?”
“Yes.”
Astra’s office.
I came here to ask her for final permission to commit terrorism.
‘It seems like Lee Ga-yeon’s training has reached the basics.’
I have also finished performance testing the data I obtained from the lab.
“This terror will be quite fun.”
“…I don’t have a bad taste in terrorism.”
This time I thought I’d try using some interesting data I got from the lab.
‘The legacy you asked for. I will use it very well.’
I chuckled.
And Astra looks at me as if I’m dumbfounded.
“Well..do your best. If this terror attack is successful, I plan to hand over the command of future terror attacks to Maker.”
“What do you mean…?”
“From now on, there will be no need to get permission for each and every terrorist attack.”
Of course, the important parts, there should be a report, right?
Astra smiles at me.
“How is it?”
“I like it.”
I had been trying to work hard, but this terrorist attack gave me even more reason to work hard.
