“This, what the heck…. What the fuck…. What the heck…. This….”

“Ewww!!!”

While Hyunwoo staggered around in confusion and dizziness.

A scream was heard from the door.

“——-!!”

There–a young priest was sitting there, shivering.

“Ah, assassination aaaa …

“Ugh….ugh….!!”

After quickly regaining my senses.

Hyunwoo cut down the priest and quickly tried to escape the building.

— Crunch….

“Ugh….!!”

but.

Perhaps it was already too late, as the sound of footsteps and metallic noises of people running around began to resonate.

“Tsk….!”

I quickly tried to activate the Ring of Return.

Why is that?

The artifact that had never been left off the body had disappeared without a trace.

“You bastard….!!”

“How dare you, His Holiness the Pope…! In the name of the Goddess, I will never forgive you!!”

“Goddess….! Punishment from heaven on the wicked apostate…..!!”

— Blame, ta-tat…! Kaaang….!!

Fighting against the knights who are launching attacks that seem to be risking their lives.

Hyunwoo couldn’t help but swear at himself as he felt like he was going crazy.

“Shit…. Hah….!! Shit….!! What the….! What the hell…. is going on!!!!”

How many days have I been chased, chased, and chased again?

After repeated attempts at running away, fighting, and hiding to the point of dizziness.

Hyunwoo barely managed to shake off his pursuers and reach his destination: the Count’s residence in Yeongdo Belont City.

It was a relentless pursuit, with the most elite knights, worthy of being the Pope’s personal guard, pursuing them with such venom that even the most determined fugitives would never be able to escape.

Hyunwoo, who was under the protection of the goddess, took almost no damage from their divine magic, and binding magic such as Sanctuary and Holy Chain had no effect on his movements at all.

In addition, the embarrassment of finding out that the assassin’s identity was Choi Hyun-woo must have played a part.

Eventually, the pursuers made several fatal mistakes, and Hyunwoo barely managed to escape the encirclement and arrive here.

“Whew, whoosh…. Ugh….. Use it….”

— Kukwaaang….!!

Hyunwoo kicked open the door to the count’s residence roughly and strode across the mansion.

“Stop!”

“Do you know where this place is…. Huh? Hello, warrior?”

— Chomp chomp….!!

“Huh…?”

“Ugh…. Huh…. Gulp…..”

After slashing the guards blocking his way without hesitation.

Hyunwoo went straight to the second floor of the mansion–the count’s office.

— Thump, thump, thump, thump….

A gait that is never rushed.

However, the expression on his face is distorted with hostility and anger, as if he is trying to kill and destroy everyone he encounters.

— Clank…

Immediately after violently slamming the door open.

The person who appeared before Hyunwoo’s eyes was– an unexpected person.

“Oh my…. Sir? What are you doing at this hour? And what’s more, you look like…..”

A woman who is Hyunwoo’s fiancée and also a member of the new warrior party.

Goldbaul Countess Youngae, Rosemary.

“Oh my goodness…. Such a serious injury…. And judging by your complexion, it looks like you haven’t rested for a few days. What on earth happened to you…..”

Whispering in a voice full of concern.

Rosemary came over and tried to wipe Hyunwoo’s face with a handkerchief.

— Thump….!!

After roughly slapping her hand away.

Hyunwoo opened his mouth in a murderous tone.

“Hey, are you in there?”

“Yes? Oh, Father…. Are you talking? Yes. It’s time for you to go to bed now…..”

“That’s right, that’s it….”

— Damn….

Hyunwoo took another step towards the door.

Rosemary asked, wrapping her arms around Hyunwoo.

“Warrior? What on earth is going on….”

“Get out of the way. If you don’t want to get screwed, go hide in a corner storage room somewhere.”

“How could a girl avoid such words when you say them with such an expression of life and death…. If you could tell me what happened…..”

◦ Shut up with a mop!

— Bam….!!

He roughly shook off Rosemary and tried to enter the office.

At that very moment.

— Exactly.

Rosemary flicked her fingers.

and–

“—————-!!!!?!”

Hyunwoo realized that he was standing on the edge of a cliff.

“Ugh…. Ohhh…. Huh, huh….?”

The top of a cliff so high that you can’t even see the bottom.

Hyunwoo, who has a fear of heights, lost the strength in his legs and fell to the floor….

Standing on the cliff opposite.

Rosemary looked at Hyunwoo and shook her head.

“Woohoohoo….. How can someone who is called a warrior act like such a fool because of a hallucination… He really is a pathetic little punk.”

“Huh…. A hallucination?”

“Yes. But please don’t move around recklessly…? This level of hallucination directly affects the body. If you fall, you will really have a heart attack and die. ”

“Ugh…..”

A space where the office floor cannot be touched even if you gently wave your hand, and where even the coolness of the blowing cold wind touches your skin.

I couldn’t help but be completely overwhelmed by the vivid scenery that was hard to believe was a hallucination.

“This is a hallucination….. What nonsense are you talking about…..”

— Exactly.

at that time.

Rosemary snapped her fingers again.

and–

The holy sword in Hyunwoo’s hand mutated into a black monster that looked like a mixture of a cockroach and a civet.

“Heeek!!!!?!”

Hyunwoo was startled by the sensation of the monster writhing in his hand and threw it away.

The Holy Sword completely disappeared under the cliff….

Rosemary began her commentary(?) in a leisurely tone.

“It’s not a situation you should be worried about. While you’ve been enjoying yourself for the past few months… I’ve been using the girl’s elixir and Kukri’s magic to put a hint on you.”

“Ah, a hint…?”

“Yes. It’s a hint that if a girl uses magic, she will immediately start seeing hallucinations.”

“Uh, why….why would you do something like that……”

“Of course, to make you a puppet. A loyal puppet who will devote himself to our Count’s family and who will give his life whenever necessary. ”

After saying such terrible things without even a hint of a calm smile.

Rosemary looked a little regretful.

“The original plan wasn’t that simple. I planned to use drugs and hallucinations to change your mind, and after enough time, I would turn you into a puppet, and then gradually use your fame and abilities. Using you as a stepping stone… to take over this entire country.”

“………”

“But…. if there was a miscalculation on the girl’s part, it would be that she didn’t know you were such an incompetent and pathetic idiot.”

“Ugh…..”

“I would never have thought that someone as great as would have such pitiful fighting power and reasoning ability…. a cripple no different from a single-celled animal. From our Baekjakryeong’s perspective, this was truly an unimaginable situation.”

“……….”

“The damages from the two major failures committed by the warrior have already exceeded millions. So I have finally come to the conclusion that no matter how much effort I put into showing hallucinations and reforming the mind, it will be of no use.”

“…………….”

“While I was pondering what to do, I happened to receive intelligence that the Pope was secretly inspecting our territory. Since he had been an eyesore for a while… I came up with the idea of having him commit suicide together with the warrior.”

“That’s…that’s it. I killed that old man…all because of you…..”

— Swish….

“……..!!”

When did you come near me?

Rosemary reached out and caressed the warrior’s cheek.

“Haha…. But, you really are a person who is of no help until the very end. I never thought you would escape from there without being caught and arrive here… In that case, you should have some way of hiding by yourself and committing suicide. What kind of concept is it that you run away to Baekjakyeong without a plan?”

“………”

“If you and our county are in cahoots and attacked by the religious order, how are you going to take responsibility…..”

— Pot….!!

Hyunwoo quickly reached out and tried to grab Rosemary’s arm.

but–

–Whew…..

“Ouch!?!”

His hands waved in the air, and Hyunwoo lost his balance badly and almost fell off the cliff, but barely managed to catch himself.

“Gasp, gasp….. Whoosh, whoosh….. Huh…..”

“Hoohoohoohoo….. You really are a total idiot. Do you think the girl is an idiot who would approach the hero without any countermeasures in this situation? Give up. All the reality in front of you right now is an illusion controlled by the girl’s magic.”

“Ugh…. Ughhhh….. What the…. Dog…. Bitch……”

“Just sit there and tremble. Right now, we have to gather the knights and hand you over. That way, we can clear our name of being accomplices and minimize the damage to the county. ”

“………..”

“Oh, come to think of it….”

— Sreung…..

“It would be better to cut off his tongue so he can stop talking nonsense.”

Rosemary pulled out a sharp dagger from her bosom and walked towards Hyunwoo with a leisurely gait.

but….

There’s just one thing she’s overlooking.

It was a fact that the willpower stat of a level 50 warrior was much higher than she thought.

“Ugh…. That…. Eeeek…. Ugh…..!!”

With the single-minded thought that I cannot die like this.

While concentrating hard and gritting my teeth to the point of grinding them.

— Shake….

Rosemary’s illusion collapsed in an instant.

The original scenery of the hallway and the of Rosemary approaching from the right were captured in Hyunwoo’s sight.

With the thought that it’s all the same whether I die here or there.

Hyunwoo swung his fist with all his might.

“Ugh… That….. Gaaa …

— Creak….!!

“Uh…. Uh…. Uh….?”

My nose is broken.

Her face was half-crushed, and she was in such a horrible state that it was hard to find even a trace of her original beauty.

Rosemary rolled on the floor, not even understanding what was happening.

— Crunch….

Meanwhile, Hyunwoo picked up the holy sword that had fallen on the floor.

And then…..

“Go away, you… you…… fucking bitch!!!”

A sword filled with the deepest will and sincerity since it was summoned to this world.

Hyunwoo swung his sword with such force that it seemed as if he was throwing away his life.
