Chapter Index

    Jeong Yushin ran through the dark alley.

    A lukewarm breeze, as if it were between summer and fall, passed by, scattering his hair.

    He stepped on scattered filth on the ground.

    It splattered on his pants and shirt, but he didn’t care.

    The alleyway wall was etched with graffiti and unknown vomit.

    The more he ran, the more certain he became. He was heading towards the outskirts of the eastern district.

    “Stop there!!!”

    “Halt!!!”

    All sorts of curses and shouts came from behind him.

    Starting with son of a bitch, then crazy bastard, parentless orphan, and even lunatic.

    It was diverse and creative.

    Even in a quiet outer area, 200 men rushing around would inevitably be noisy.

    They even brought torches, well-prepared.

    Moreover, Saul used his head a little, and his subordinates immediately spread out in all directions of the alley.

    Shouts and curses echoed through every alley.

    “You crazy rapist bastard!!!”

    A sudden outburst of profanity.

    Jeong Yushin stopped dead in his tracks.

    The men also abruptly stopped running.

    Jeong Yushin turned around and glared at Saul’s subordinates.

    Goblins, Kobolds, Orcs, Elves, Humans, Gnomes, and other various races stood there.

    “Isn’t ‘rapist’ a bit much? I…”

    The subordinates drew their weapons and rushed at him like hawks.

    “Kill him!!!”

    “There’s 100 gold coins on that guy’s head!!!”

    Dozens of men squeezed through the alley and rushed towards Jeong Yushin. It was like a wave.

    “You bastards.”

    Jeong Yushin took a stance.

    A narrow alley.

    An overwhelming mass.

    There’s a good weapon for times like these.

    [Sacred Weapon]

    Maul.

    A massive hammer woven from light.

    It was closer to a tool than a weapon.

    Jeong Yushin raised the giant hammer high, but he didn’t stop there.

    [Multi Casting]

    [Sacred Weapon]

    Half-Ogre Gauntlets.

    A golden aura containing the power of a Half-Ogre rippled from Jeong Yushin’s hands.

    He added overwhelming strength to the massive weapon.

    The men running in the front stopped abruptly.

    “Re, Retreat!!!”

    “No!!! We’re blocked!!!”

    But it was too late.

    Because the subordinates were pushing from behind and the people in front couldn’t move forward, a bottleneck phenomenon occurred in the narrow alleyway.

    Jeong Yushin lifted the hammer, bigger than himself, high and slammed it down.

    WHOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!

    The golden hammer tore through the air and fell among the men.

    KWAHHHHHHHH!!!!

    The ground exploded. Stone fragments, flesh, blood, and bones scattered like fireworks into the air.

    Dust rose thickly and then settled down, pushed by the lukewarm breeze.

    And the gruesome sight was revealed.

    The faces of the people standing in the back paled.

    The alley floor was deeply hollowed out to the height of a grown man.

    The alley walls, cracked like a spider web, were plastered with flesh, guts, bone fragments, and blood.

    With a single hammer blow, 10 people were instantly shattered and disappeared.

    “…”

    Jeong Yushin looked at an eyeball stuck to the alley wall, grabbed it, and held it up.

    “Eyeball candy.”

    The terrified men backed away.

    “Th, This is.”

    “Crazy!!! He’s a monster!!!”

    The moment Jeong Yushin tried to summon Sacred Weapon again.

    KWAHHHH!!!

    The alley wall next to Jeong Yushin exploded and a bald man rushed in.

    [Mana Seal]

    He made a bizarre hand sign with one hand and swung a sword with the other.

    Jeong Yushin stepped back. The sword aura was quite sharp. He couldn’t underestimate it.

    The moment he was about to prepare for the next attack.

    Jeong Yushin’s body stiffened.

    He definitely felt it.

    The magic flowing inside his body was not responding to the summoning of Sacred Weapon.

    ‘As expected.’

    That old snake prepared thoroughly.

    Jeong Yushin stepped back and smiled.

    “You thought you could stop me with just that?”

    “…”

    The bald man stood still without a word.

    Jeong Yushin reached into his back pocket.

    “I’ll show you. My magic tools.”

    The bald man flinched and stepped back.

    The other subordinates also tensed up, ready to fight.

    Jeong Yushin watched the expression of the retreating bald man carefully.

    A troubled expression.

    ‘Confirmed.’

    Even if magic is sealed, it seems magic tools can’t be sealed.

    A plan was meticulously completed in his head.

    Jeong Yushin widened his eyes and turned his head, glaring at one side of the alley.

    “Huh!!! Saul?!”

    “What?!”

    The men quickly turned their heads. There was no one in the alley.

    They soon realized.

    They were tricked again.

    Jeong Yushin quickly ran through the alley.

    The enraged men, their eyes bloodshot, ran after Jeong Yushin.

    “Catch him!!!!”

    “You son of a bitch!!!”

    “He sealed the magic!!! Catch him and kill him!!!”

    After running for a while, he turned into the alley next to it.

    The men rushed in.

    The goblin who entered the alley first had a dazed expression, holding an axe.

    “Huh?!”

    The barbarian, who they thought was running away, was smiling right in front of them.

    Jeong Yushin kicked the goblin’s stomach.

    THWACK!!!

    As the walker was embedded in the goblin’s bulging belly, a sound like a drum exploding rang out.

    The goblin, whose intestines were torn to shreds, spat out blood and flew, crashing into the alley wall.

    He snatched the hand axe flying through the air and swung it at the next guy who appeared.

    CRUNCH!!!

    The axe broke the man’s ribs and cut his intestines in half.

    “Cough!!!”

    A staggering man.

    He swung the axe again, smashing his collarbone and ribs, and then slammed it down on his heart, letting go of it and kicking him.

    THUD!!!

    The man’s corpse flew backwards, colliding with several subordinates who appeared in the alley and rolled on the floor.

    There was no time to rest.

    Jeong Yushin quickly picked up a fallen arming sword and swung it.

    As the sharp sword flashed, the heads of 3 men flew into the air.

    WHOOSH!!!

    Blood gushed out like a fountain from the severed necks.

    Other guys filled the space between the subordinates collapsing without their heads.

    Jeong Yushin took his position and fought like a madman.

    He slit throats with daggers and pulverized them with fists and feet.

    He cut off necks with an arming sword.

    He smashed heads with a mace and a military pick.

    He swung an axe and split heads in half.

    Saul’s subordinates filled the alley, but they were just being cut down like tomatoes in a blender, their bones and flesh being torn apart.

    The alley was filled with screams and sighs, but soon became quiet.

    No more subordinates approached. They just stood at a distance and watched.

    Jeong Yushin looked around and found a longsword on the ground and picked it up.

    A suitable weight.

    There wasn’t much blood and fat stuck to it, so the sharpness wasn’t lost yet.

    Then.

    A middle-aged man covered in plate armor from head to toe walked out from among the subordinates.

    “You crazy bastard, I’ll fight you. Everyone move aside!!!”

    The man put on his helmet visor and rushed at Jeong Yushin, swinging his longsword.

    Judging by his skill in pushing straight in, trusting in the armor’s defense and weight, he smelled like a veteran.

    A downward slash from above.

    The sharpness of the longsword shone, receiving the torchlight.

    SWISH!!!

    Jeong Yushin grabbed the blade of the longsword, took a half-swording stance, and then moved forward as if bouncing.

    CLANG!!!

    He lifted the longsword to block the downward slash and immediately lowered the crossguard to drop the opponent’s sword.

    CLANG!!!

    A longsword that fell on the floor.

    The man who lost his sword was flustered and stepped back, throwing punches, but it was useless.

    He pushed the pommel of the longsword straight and slammed it into the man’s face.

    THUD!!!

    The pommel, as hard as a mace, crushed the helmet and broke the opponent’s nose and teeth.

    “Kuaaaaack!!!”

    The man screamed and waved his hand.

    Jeong Yushin aimed the tip of his sword in the half-swording stance and stabbed it in.

    The target was the gap in the armor, the neck area.

    THWACK!!!

    “Guh!!!”

    The man grabbed his neck and collapsed.

    Jeong Yushin looked down at the man crawling on the floor, lifted his walker, and stomped on the man’s neck bone.

    CRUNCH!!!

    The walker, with iron plates attached, shattered the man’s cervical spine.

    At that moment.

    SWISH!!!

    A sound of tearing through the air was heard. Jeong Yushin widened his eyes.

    He instinctively swung his sword to deflect the arrow.

    CLANG!!!

    The arrow hit the sword and bounced off. The sword surface vibrated. His grip was tingling.

    An arrow with such strong power.

    It’s not a normal guy.

    Moreover, because the entire arrow was painted black, he couldn’t even properly identify it.

    But he can know the direction.

    He turned his head and looked at where the arrow came from.

    On the wall in the distance, a rat beastman emitting green light in its eyes was reloading its bow again.

    Jeong Yushin lowered the longsword diagonally.

    SWISH!!!

    Another black arrow flying again.

    Jeong Yushin swung the longsword to deflect the arrow.

    CLANG!!!!!!

    The longsword broke.

    “Tsk.”

    Jeong Yushin clicked his tongue and threw the longsword, which only had a handle left, on the ground.

    “Now’s the chance!!!”

    A guy with a spear rushed in and stabbed.

    The target was the abdomen.

    Jeong Yushin slightly twisted his body to dodge and then pulled the spear.

    The opponent was flustered and pulled along.

    THUD!!!

    An elbow blow struck the man’s Adam’s apple, causing the man to drop the spear and choke.

    Without stopping, immediately a right hook.

    The fist cut through the air and smashed the man’s cheekbone.

    CRUNCH!!!

    The man’s eyes rolled back and he collapsed weakly to the side.

    Jeong Yushin picked up the spear and charged, stabbing it in.

    Because it was a narrow alley, the men were skewered like skewers and struggled.

    “Kuaaaaack!!!”

    “Grab him!!! Go to the side and hit him!!!”

    An orc who wasn’t stabbed by the spear rushed at Jeong Yushin with a mace.

    Jeong Yushin dodged the flying mace, grabbed the orc’s head, and slammed it into the alley wall.

    CRUNCH!!!

    With the spear in one hand and the orc’s head in the other, he slowly walked through the alley while rubbing it against the wall.

    The men skewered by the spear were pushed away, screaming.

    The orc whose face was being scraped off against the alley wall was only twitching.

    The shadows of Jeong Yushin and the men created by the torches flickered on the wall.

    Saul’s subordinates were terrified.

    Gleaming eyes.

    Animalistic skills that slaughtered several people in an instant.

    Whatever weapon he grabbed, he sliced through his opponent with godlike skill.

    Whatever he grabbed turned into a deadly weapon.

    Even a wooden club wrapped in wire.

    It was obvious that he received education from a prestigious family, but each action was like a beast with not an ounce of reason.

    At that moment.

    Another arrow flew through the air.

    Jeong Yushin dropped the spear and the man’s head and ducked.

    THWACK!!!

    The black arrow hit a subordinate’s shoulder.

    The man’s face immediately turned black, and he collapsed, spitting out blood.

    It happened in just 2 seconds.

    Jeong Yushin’s expression hardened.

    ‘As expected.’

    It seems the arrow was poisoned.

    Although there was a Venom Protection engraving, he had to use magic. If he got hit even once, the Death Postponement would activate immediately.

    “Tsk.”

    Jeong Yushin clicked his tongue once and turned around and ran through the alley.

    “What are you doing!!! Catch him!!!”

    When the men who looked like leaders yelled, the subordinates had no choice but to start running after Jeong Yushin.

    He stopped, slaughtered the guys who followed, and ran again.

    It was so repetitive that he was getting tired of it.

    He had no idea how many he had killed.

    His whole body was already soaked with blood.

    He climbed over the wall and entered a house yard, took the clothes hanging on the clothesline, and wiped off the blood.

    He put on the clean robe hanging on the clothesline, went into one side of the culvert, and collapsed.

    A beggar with one leg right next to him had a blank expression.

    “H, Hey. This is my spot.”

    “Let’s share it.”

    The beggar grumbled something, but he ignored him and organized his plan in his head.

    If he fought like this, it would take all day.

    He had roughly decided on a plan since he saw the black magic scroll in Vivian’s shop.

    He wandered around to check Saul’s countermeasures.

    He confirmed the bald guy who cast the magic seal.

    He also confirmed the rat beastman who shot poison arrows from afar.

    From the beginning, it seemed they were trying to seal him so that he couldn’t even activate the Revenger engraving by killing him in one shot. An arrow flying in the midst of a chaotic battle was the most fatal.

    But there was a part that Saul was mistaken about.

    The Revenger engraving was linked to the Death Postponement engraving.

    The so-called engraving link.

    Even after receiving an attack that leads to death, he can postpone death and move. In addition, he can inflict damage and revive with the effect of the Revenger engraving.

    But he didn’t want to show these guys another card right away.

    From the beginning, they were cunning guys as he had worried about.

    As soon as they knew what his engraving was, they immediately came up with a plan to block it.

    He thought it was fortunate that he didn’t go to the gambling house after all.

    Jeong Yushin organized his thoughts and got up from his seat.

    He would drag Saul and 2 others out and capture them, and then kill the rest of the guys.

    ‘Good.’

    Jeong Yushin dodged the men who were shouting while searching the alley and then returned to his original spot.

    Right in front of the bar where he started running away.

    Creak.

    The inside of the bar was the same as before.

    He approached the counter, sat down, and took out a bottle of liquor and poured it into a glass.

    After sipping it for a while, the bar door burst open.

    “…”

    Thud. Thud.

    As the sound of footsteps was heard, Jeong Yushin turned his body.

    It was Saul, the bald human he had seen a little while ago, and a rat beastman holding two saw-like daggers.

    Jeong Yushin raised his glass.

    “Saul, you must have worked hard going around the neighborhood. Would you like a drink?”

    Saul’s face briefly turned red and blue before returning to normal.

    “Haa.”

    Saul sighed and sat across from Jeong Yushin.

    Jeong Yushin tilted the bottle of liquor and filled the glass placed in front of Saul.

    Saul looked down at the glass and then raised his head.

    “Did you put something in here?”

    “If you’re scared, don’t drink it.”

    Saul shook his head.

    “Sca, you’re seriously crazy.”

    “What’s so new about that?”

    “You were sealed with magic, but why are you so relaxed? What are you thinking? Why did you come back here after running away so hard? What’s your plan?!!!”

    Jeong Yushin looked at Saul’s face for a while and then smiled.

    “Why? Does it feel like you’re going crazy? Do you want to know so badly that you’re going to die? You don’t know what I’m going to do?”

    “…”

    Saul’s eyes were bloodshot.

    “I’ll have to tell you then.”

    Jeong Yushin smiled and took something out of his back pocket.

    “Let’s go.”

    Saul was flustered and jumped up from his seat.

    “Huh?!”

    Saul checked the object in Jeong Yushin’s hand and made a blank expression.

    “L, Leopard print underwear?”

    “Ah.”

    Jeong Yushin scratched his head and put Carin’s leopard print underwear back in.

    “I’m sorry.”

    “…”

    A vein popped out on Saul’s forehead.

    “You son of a bitch!!!! You’re making a fool of me. You bastard!!! How far are you going to mock me!!!”

    Jeong Yushin took out a scroll sealed with a black seal.

    “Calm down. Let’s really go.”

    “What do you mean go where?!!! Are you out of your mind?!!!”

    Saul screamed.

    The bald man and the rat beastman, noticing something was wrong, immediately rushed in.

    Jeong Yushin slowly tore the scroll.

    “To the room of truth.”

    The inside of the bar was filled with light.
