The Protagonists Are Murdered By Me Chapter 17: 86-90, a 13 tzameti fanfic

When the world first found out about the existence of superpower, America was the first one to propose the ranking system. They proposed this in order to differentiate the power and utilization of superpower.

The class system at that time was simple. It was only from C rank to A rank. However, since then, more superpowers appeared thus the current superpower rankings were created by distinguishing power by too weak to too strong.

Starting from the lowest E rank and going up to the SSS rank, this ranking system was actually nothing more than adding ranks one by one.

Some superhumans had the best abilities, and people classified them as A rank. But the very next day, a stronger superhuman appeared and people gave it another A rank. It was a period of confusion. Too many superhumans appeared. and then one day, a superhuman who reached the limit of humans appeared, and then the first S rank appeared. It was then the superpower ranking system was properly established.

Unlike the usual superhuman, that superhuman surpassed the power of A rank. So, they add another rank to the ranking.

That was the Super Rank.

This title, it waa given to only those who had reached the human limit. It was the most honorable title to be given to a superhuman, and very few have received it.

An S rank superhuman who has reached the limit of humans.

However, will one neglect their training just because they attained S rank? No way.

In recent years, SS ranks, which are said to have transcended human limits, and even SSS ranks have been discovered, and even when their progress has stopped because they can no longer absorb ether, they still continue to grow further by honing their superpower.

However, it was impossible for Taylor Nine. There is only one way to make her stronger. It was by injecting ether into her body to increase the output of her superpower.

The reason for that is simple, the form of her superpower was fixed. It was in the shape of 'Sphere'. It was impossible for her to make another form, and so she could only increase its power.

This was quite common. Those who have a fixed type of superpower can no longer develop. Just as their appearance was determined when they were born, so were their superpowers. No matter how high the 'output' is, if their 'utility' was bad, they would only get a low rank. That was the case of Taylor Nine.

Taylor Nine's superpower, sphere of light, was an ability that allowed a sphere of light float on top of her hand. It was an unfitting ability for a hunter.

'It's real! When I touched the ether dispenser, the sphere of light moved! Seodam, it's just as you said!'

However, by coincidence, she discovered that she could use an ether dispenser to move the sphere of light. And the 'utility' of the sphere of light expanded.

Because of that discovery, it was possible for her to create a shield of light, or a sphere of light that bended as soon as it touched an object and shot at another target by using a 'named' ether dispenser.

But in the end, she could only do it by relying on tools, not her own control. Taylor could move the sphere of light to some extent without a bat after long-term training, but… in the end, it is only an E-rank ability.

A superpower with high power output but no utility.

"……So, you want to be able to deal with various forms of light?"

"Right."

"Why all of a sudden?"

Yoo Seodam looked at Taylor with a questioning gaze. She twisted her hair and shook her head.

"The family suddenly wants me to return. So, I'm thinking of applying for the 'duel' and walking out from the family confidently."

"Ah, your family…. Didn't you say they despise Hunters? But aren't all superhumans of your family 'knights'?"

Unlike hunters, knights were superhumans who dealt with humans and they were quite a nuisance for hunters. They were also called 'the police for superpowers'

"I do not care about that. Because I am also a villainous hunter. But, should I say the problem is that all my siblings have slightly better superpower than me? I rolled in mud to grow stronger while they grew up eating good food and getting infused with ether every day."

Even with the same S rank, there is a wide variety of differences between them. Perhaps they have a much stronger output than Taylor.

"Besides… You can't use the dispenser in duels."

"…..What?"

Without a bat, Taylor becomes an idiot who could do nothing. Yoo Seodam was the one who knew that fact better than anyone else.

"That's crazy! If you don't have a dispenser, even an E rank monster will beat you up!"

"Then what do you want me to do? Go back to my family? They're going to sell me off in an arranged marriage like in dramas. The only way for me to avoid that is to fight one of my siblings and beat them in a duel! And I'll leave that family forever! Or, do you want me to marry some random shit? Huh?"

"…..no."

As Yoo Seodam frowned, Taylor slapped him on the back and suddenly his mood improved.

"Okay, anyway, I came to see you. Because you are the only one who has two ways to help me."

"Two ways?"

"Yeah, The first is like before… I came here with the thought you could help me with something quirky and unique. Besides, you are DDR-"

"It's DR."

"Yeah that! Anyway, you've been learning an unusual skill in another world. Maybe you could give me a hint."

That was right.

"Then the second way?"

"The biggest problem I'm facing is the arranged marriage. Solving this is actually simple. I just have to bear a child of another man."

"It's really simple..But am I the only one who could help you with that?"

"Then who else is there besides you?"

Taylor looked into Seodam in the eyes as she spoke. Her eyes looked nonchalant. It was weird of her to ask something like that. Seodam sighed and swept his hand over his face.

"The easy way is the second, but…."

"Then shall we go make it right now?"

"Wh-what?"

"Ahaha! I'm kidding you punk! Don't be embarrassed like that."

"Phew.."

If so, in the end, Yoo Seodam needs to make sure that Taylor attains a level that can beat a S-rank superhuman. But would it be that easy? The opponent Taylor would face would be someone who already possesses superpower close to perfection with superior output thanks to constant ether injection. On top of that, the Blestash family was a family that specialized in dealing with superhumans.

It was almost impossible for Taylor, who couldn't use her superpower properly without an ether dispenser, to quickly grow.

Besides, except for magic or martial arts, Yoo Seodam really didn't know anything about superpower.

-Hey witch~

"What's wrong?"

-It's similar~

"Similar?"

-To magic.

Currently, Taylor kept a sphere of light floating on her palm. In order to observe the sphere of light closely, the flower spirit came out of the inventory and sat on Yoo Seodam's palm. He called the spirit because he couldn't find any magic related book after searching through the Library of the White Witch.

As a result, he got some pretty useful information.

"The structure of magic and superpower is similar…."

Magic and superpower used different types of energy sources. Magic uses mana, while superpowers use energy called ether. Unlike Mana that comes from nature, Ether is the energy of life itself.

But just because the energy source is different, would the resulting structure be different? Just as diesel and gasoline are different type energies, both have a similar structure. Magic and superpower were also like that.

However, while magic was an act of giving Mana a physical form through formulas, spells, and magic circles, superpower could only follow the prescribed form.

"Wait…. Then, maybe this…"

What if we could transform Superpower using formulas just like what they did with magic? Is there a way to freely control the flow of energy?

Earth's superpowers were discovered only a little less than 30 years ago. It was absurdly insufficient for development. However, the Library of the White Witch was a magical product with thousands of years of history. On Earth, 'form' is given to etheric energy in tens of thousands of ways that we have never dared to think about.

"……I think it's worth trying?"

"What is?"

"I think I can change the form of your ability. It looks like something will happen if I look at it myself."

"Really? Don't be such a tease because I'm really excited here?"

Instead of answering, Yoo Seodam put his hand under Taylor's palm.

"Try reducing the output."

If Taylor put her everything in the output, it was impossible for Yoo Seodam to keep up because of his magic power and magic level. As the sphere of light gradually became smaller and finally reached C rank, Yoo Seodam closed his eyes and activated the Library of the White Aitch. A magic book related to 'light' appeared in front of him, and the flower pot grabbed it and started reading it.

The magic book contains methods and formulas for dealing with light in dozens or hundreds of forms, and some of them could be reproduced with a simple flow of energy.

"From now on, I will show you the way. Try to memorize and copy it."

"Ugh!"

Slowly, Seodam's mana flowed through Taylor's wrist and gradually moved into the sphere of light under the control of the pot. Eventually the magic began to twist and rotate in a strange direction. It was a flow of energy that people of the 21st century never thought of.

Magic was determined by completely calculating everything such as a certain amount of magic power. The speed at which the magic power flows, and the direction the magic power flows, and it's also applicable to Ether energy.

"Ah….!"

That mass of light, which had never taken any other form besides a 'sphere' for nearly 16 years, began to change. It was a very simple change. Seodam just changes the shape of the sphere to an elongated stick.

"Hold it."

"…."

Taylor slowly grasped the bar of light, it reminded her of a baseball bat.

"Make a sphere with the other hand and swing it."

She followed Seodam's advice and made a sphere with her other hand, and swung the light's bat to hit it.

Claang!!

The sphere of light flew and disappeared after hitting the wall, just like when Taylor used a 'named' class baseball bat,

It was her first time firing a sphere of light without the aid of an ether dispenser!

"Uh……."

Sizzle!

However, it was only possible to swing it once. The bat of light quickly disappeared. It was because Yoo Seodam was the one who shaped the light, so Taylor could not maintain the shape by herself.

It was like teaching a primitive man how to design electronic circuits to convert a voltage when the primitive man knew nothing but to make it burn more by pouring oil over the fire.

Still, her basic output was strong, so if she could complete her training, she could display even more destructive skills compared to now.

"What should I do to be able to do that?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Yoo Seodam pointed his finger to his back. There was a superpower control meter that looked a little cheap.

"You need to train like crazy."

From that day on, Taylor Nine's special hell training began.

This translation hosted by Nocturne Translation* * *

The training process was not easy. In the first place, Taylor output level was on the high side among S rank superhuman. But in terms of control, it was pretty bad. In addition, it is impossible to teach her about the calculation and magical parts, because just like Yoo Seodam, Taylor wasn't really a studious person.

There was no other choice but to control the flow of energy and follow the movement of the magical power.

With so much time, Taylor wasn't nervous.

After a month, she was able to turn the sphere of light into an ellipse.

She was amazed by the fact that she coule train her superpower.

She was happy that she could study the same discipline, discuss superpower, and practice together with Yoo Seodam.

After two months, she was able to transform the sphere of light into a slightly elongated baguette.

Every day was a thrilling time for her.

At some point she forgot about the reason why she trained her superpower. Duel? Arranged marriage? Those were no longer a concern.

She was just enjoying this moment.

And when three months had passed.

"……"

It was a night of full-moon.

Taylor got out of bed in her underwear and walked to the window. At first she felt awkward in Yoo Seodam's officetel because it wasn't the studio she was used to, but now she has managed to adapt.

Leaning her arms against the window, she looked out blankly. After some time, she raised her hand.

Fwooosh!

A bunch of lights slowly gathered in the air, and soon it took shape. It wasn't the perfect shape of a baseball bat like what Yoo Seodam made three months ago. Still, it formed the perfect rod shape.

In other words, Taylor finally succeeded in transforming the form of light perfectly with her own power!

Somehow, her heart was beating quickly. She wanted to scream loudly, but she didn't want to wake Yoo Seodam who was sleeping soundly.

She squeezed her fists and squatted on the floor, her body was shaking, she made a very timid, delicate and restrained ceremony.

"KKEEEUUU!!!!"

It was a silent roar.

'F* It! I did it!'

However, it was also a very strong cheer that echoed through the entire blue sea.

Chapter 87

While Taylor Nine stayed and trained in Korea for three months, I traveled around Seoul to find a place that could serve as a guild office.

Because I thought it was time to introduce the guild to the public. I don't know what kind of plan Yekaterina had, but if she really comes into my guild, she'll take over all guild operations. I need to complete all preparations beforehand.

In addition, as a member of the Another League, Ha Sun-young has been taking Ye Sa-hye wherever she went while teaching her about swordsmanship at the same time and her achievements were numerous. It looks like we would get a guild member soon enough.

Ha Sun-young, she was someone who created her own swordsmanship without having any guide or teacher. She absorbed all kinds of technique and mixed it with her own. Recently, I've been teaching her some swordsmanship I learned in the fantasy world.

The swift swordsmanship, the slow swordsmanship, the heavy swordsmanship, and the lightweight swordsmanship.

These four sword techniques are very simple and straightforward, so from the point of view of Murim people who have lived in the martial arts world, these sword techniques may look like a joke. However, these sword techniques were very useful for dealing with monsters, it was not meant to be used against humans.

A swordsmanship that completely erased the psychological warfare between humans. A swordsmanship that could effectively kill an existence that is several-fold stronger than human.

Surprisingly, Ha Sun-young completely absorbed not only Murim's swordsmanship, but also Fantasy world's swordsmanship! Presumably, Ha Sun-young would be the best hunter in New Murim league if you exclude Seol Jungyeon from the list.

In addition, 'Sunyoung Swordsmanship' has become a sword technique suitable for dealing with monsters and become a great help for Ye Sa-hye.

It's been less than half a year since she started learning Sunyoung swordsmanship properly, but she already achieved D-rank in terms of output. On top of it, I taught Ye Sa-hye a few basic magic spells, and she learned it at an amazing speed

Now that the 'protagonist' has disappeared from earth, I have no idea about her stats or what kind of skills she's using. But, my guess is she had some learning-related talents and skills. Or, maybe she's just working hard at it.

If Ye Sa-hye grows a little bit more, she could handle both swords and magic at the same time. Also, she's the only one who has studied administrative subjects, so she's actually the smartest one in my guild.

For that reason, I only need a guild office…

"There aren't any places for new guilds here. Go somewhere else."

"Guild office? There's none. But there's probably one left in Bangbae-dong?"

"Hey. I've been out here sometime. Why don't you go to the Muran market?"

"No, no. Go to Pangyo right next door."

"This man… In Pangyo, all guild hideouts were already sold out half a year ago."

This is the situation I faced.

Securing a guild office in the crowded metropolitan area was as difficult as eating cold rice cake soup while lying down!

Guild hideouts were legally allowed to store ether dispensers inside a special safe that can withstand an explosion. And the building also needs a special facility to install them. So you can't just randomly buy a building and proclaim it as your Guild Hideout.

If the size of the guild was a bit large, a training ground with a special energy barrier was also needed for the training of its members. The building will also need a kitchen, laundry room, medical care room, game room, gym, swimming pools, and many more. It means that the building itself needs a variety of facilities to be useful as a guild office.

Of course, I don't need that much, if the building meets the minimum conditions (a special ether safe), I'll gladly take it.

I still haven't found a building for our guild office even after 3 months of looking here and there. I didn't know it would be this bad. At this point, I am very sorry for Ha Sun-young and Ye Sa-hye. Hunters basically stay in the guild office of their respective guilds. When they aren't dispatched, they will spend their time leisurely to relieve their stress and recover their condition. But both Ha sun-young and Ye Sa-hye were living in a temporary studio and moving around in motels.

Ha Sun-young said that it didn't matter, because she thought of me as her benefactor in the first place.

"I'd rather find it in the region…."

Thinking that way, I walked down the road to find the next place. But suddenly the flower spirit spoke.

-Hey, witch~

"What is it this time?"

-It smells good~

"Yeah, there are a lot of bars nearby."

Ads by Pubfuture

-Not that~

The flower spirit was silent for a moment, and as usual, I ignored it because I know she would ask for a bottle of alcohol soon enough. But she spoke once again

-It smells like spirit…

"What? Spirit? Here?"

-Yes~

No way.

On Earth, you could only find a spirit if you are really, really lucky. But there's a spirit around here? In the middle of Gangnam?

"Where?"

-… in front of you~

As I walked forward following the flower spirit's guidance, I saw a huge plaza located in the middle endless row of skyscrapers. It was Gangnam Plaza. This place, which was created after the original got swept away by bombing after the Great War 31 years ago, was a meeting place for people in their twenties and a kind of important place where numerous prestigious guild offices were situated.

"……So, where is the spirit? There's nothing here."

-It's down there.

"Down? Did you mean in the sewer?"

-Eum. Not that…

At that time, the flower spirit activates a scan magic. My vision was dyed with magical power and began to detect the area, and surprisingly, a huge, really huge 'dungeon' was just below me.

"Dungeon?"

It was the first time I ever detected a dungeon with magic, so I don't know what I should do next. However, when the dungeon is created, all area 10m around the dungeon will be closed until it is resolved, and the soldiers will always be on standby until the hunter in charge appears, but there was no one nearby.

As if they didn't even know that the dungeon occurred.

"This is the Hell……."

It's a wandering dimension.

"What is that?"

It is a dimension that breaks away from the original dimension and wanders around the world. It is basically the same as a 'dungeon', but it does not emit dangerous energy that is harmful to the earth, so it seems that the world's scientific equipment could not detect it.

Anomaly observatory usually tracked and ranked the huge energy waves that occur in the area to detect the possible dungeon and gates. However, they couldn't detect the dungeon that appeared in the middle of Gangnam, where the floating population could be tens of thousands of people a day. If that dungeon was out of time and was synchronized with reality, a catastrophe would have occurred.

"…I'm glad I found it. I've been doing this for 16 years, but this is my first time finding one with this method."

As far as I know, there are more of those wandering dimensions on Earth. It just hasn't been found because it could never be found with the current technology that human possessed.

"There's no case of an accident or someone accidentally entering it?"

Well… While the dungeon was a dimension that was half-synchronized with reality and had a doorway that connects both dimensions, wandering dimension is a separate dimension altogether and there is no doorway. However, you can open anytime you want.

What that meant was simple.

"Isn't it a hidden dungeon that only I can enter?"

Hosted by Nocturne Translation * * *

So, I brought Taylor, Ha Sun-young and Ye Sa-hye to Gangnam. Originally, I was going to leave Ye Sa-hye behind, but Ha Sun-young insisted on taking her along by saying, "Actual experience is important!"

Leaving them behind, I approached the stone statue in the middle of Gangnam Square and touched it, and a certain energy flowed from there. I wouldn't have known about the identity of these energies before, but now I know.

"Are you making a portal?"

….How did you know?

"I just know. I've been going back and forth through that portal so of course I can feel it."

I see. I will refer to it.𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝓜

What do you mean refer to it? But before I even asked the question, the world was distorted and turned upside down.

[You entered a wandering dimension, 'The Dead Spirit's Floating Garden.']

Ads by Pubfuture

"…..Ugh!"

"Heook."

"…Ouch, my head."

Perhaps because I chose a half-dimensional movement rather than a normal dungeon entry method, I could hear unpleasant sounds coming from behind.

I raised my head and looked straight ahead.

Soon, I lost my words.

"…. It's no joke."

True to the name of 'Floating garden' the entire dimension floated in the air. Right now we were standing at the edge of the floating garden, a place I believed to be the entrance. In the distance I could see dozens of tall buildings and a huge castle.

This wide floating garden was all dark as if the sun did not exist. However, surprisingly, it was dazzlingly bright because of fireflies-like things that spread out in the air.

Light particles floated in the air as if it were snowing, long bridges that shone every time you step on them, and mysterious structures and floating objects that glowed softly.

In addition, the night sky was decorated in purple, red, and blue aurora.

Should it be called fantastic?

Or should it be called dreamy?

It was a very beautiful place.

"Pretty….."

Ye Sa-hye couldn't even come to her senses in front of this great spectacle. While Ha Sun-young held her smartphone and pressed the shutter without hesitation.

If you look at the sunset as a cliché, it had a close relationship with the ending. So, I heard, most of the ruined world often stops around sunset time.

However, an eternal evening comes to a world that has taken on a complete end. A world where the sun would never rise again. This dimension was that world that had just reached an end.

"Hey. Isn't that a monster?"

Taylor said as she tapped on my shoulder, and I turned my view straight towards where Taylor's finger pointed at.

Red, blue, green, and other fiery-like creatures were flying in the air while wearing armor.

It hasn't been long since this world reached its end, it seems that all living things hasn't died yet.

However, since all the vital energy has been exhausted, a new spirit will not be born.

The spirits would have been trapped in a perished world and gradually extinguished if hunter Yoo Seodam didn't get involved.

"Really? Still, if the energy bursts and dungeon synchronization occurs, we'll be in big trouble."

As I mentioned the other day, wandering dimensions do not emit bad energy. This is because all of the energy has already been consumed. In short, it's a 'dead dimension'.

"Dead dimension huh? Well, then, even if we leave it alone, the dungeon synchronization wouldn't happen, right?"

Yes.

"Hum……."

When the monster appeared, Ha Sun-young changed into her uniform and pulled out her sword, while Ye Sa-hye wore a grade 3 ether suit and pulled out her ether blade, and Taylor took out her baseball bat. She didn't need it anymore, but it seems like it's a habit of hers.

I also pulled out a temporary 3rd grade ether blade. However, I didn't move forward.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"No. It's not like that…."

Originally, there's no entrance to enter this world. However, with the help of the System, entrance has been created. And it'll be possible to construct a 'gate' that could only be used by Guild members through Magitek. Besides, this dimension was a 'dead dimension', a space that will be left alone forever…

Suddenly,

I turned and spoke to the three women about my idea.

"This place, the location is good, no one can easily enter, the scenery is beautiful, the size is so large and there is even a famous rice cake dumpling soup restaurant right next door."

"…..?"

I made a pretty good suggestion to the girls who looked at me as if I'm a weirdo.

"Let's get the boss and occupy this place."

Chapter 88

The energy wavelength of the dead spirit's floating garden was S rank. A S rank dungeon was never easy. Normally, a team consisting of several S rank superhumans was needed to clear it. I wouldn't be able to guarantee success if I entered the dungeon alone.

Thankfully, I have S rank Taylor Nine and SS rank Ha Sun-young, so there was no problem at all.

It seems like this world originally had an output of SS rank or higher by the standards of the Earth's people.

However, as time passed, the dimension gradually lost its power. Thanks to that, it should be easier for me. Anyway, I could eat the floating garden more easily.

"Let's not kill the spirits."

"Why? No matter how I look, they're nothing but a bunch of Ether crystals."

"After conversion, it won't amount to much. They look like a lump of magic for my eyes."

"Is that so?"

Taylor and Ha Sun-young still looked like they didn't understand, but they still followed me and we moved forward while suppressing the spirits without killing them. Thanks to this, the raid slowed down considerably. And after some time, we safely reached the point where Spirit King, the boss monster of the dead spirit's floating garden, resided.

It was neatly chopped with the sides of the bat and sword, so that it was wide enough not to die.

-Die!!! You evil guys!!!

Unlike other spirits, the Spirit King of the floating garden still had his consciousness. Thanks to that, the conversation went well.

"Take this."

-What is this…?

"It's a contract. I will provide the necessary energy needed by this dimension, so hand over your land documents."

-Th…that's!

"I will save your men too. So, in the future, work for me."

-······!

For reference, I didn't have any power to do that.

But, didn't I get a 'Lifeforce' for completing every quest?

[3000 days of Lifeforce has been deducted.]

[Giving energy of life to the spirits of the floating garden.]

There was a time when I was struggling to live for one more day. However, I could earn lifeforce anytime I want now. And it'll soon become my second currency.

In the first place, I could only get a small Guild HQ with the money I have in my hand. Spending some life force for this whole dimension was a profitable business.

-Uh…

-This is….

-Spirit king!

The total number of remaining spirits in the floating garden were 100. In fact, there was no need to revive them all. However, it was inevitable because I needed a lot of manpower for the HQ 'interior' in the near future.

As the spirits began to wake up one by one, the Spirit King knelt in front of me with a thrilled expression.

-Thank you, thank you very much!

"Don't mention it. You just need to work hard from now on."

Perhaps it was because of the energy I gave them, the spirits listened to me well. And with the help of the 'Library of the White Witch' I was able to study how to extend the life of the spirits who got their life back.

[….These spirits are a kind of 'Elemental Spirit'. They'll grow by receiving the energy of nature itself. For example, the spirit of rain gets their energy from rain, the spirits of thunder get their energy from thunder strikes, and the spirits of flames from a fire…]

Their nutrients were natural phenomenons that exist in this world. However, after the end of the world, the spirits who fled to the floating garden were unable to get such energy and eventually their lives were completely taken away.

I wasn't God so I couldn't make a thunderstorm instantly, but at least I could plant flowers to create a small flower garden, forest, or an artificial river.

"…..So. In this dungeon, we are going to plant flowers and trees and make an artificial river."

"You are also planning to create an internet connection, an etheric radio pole, and toilet?"

"Yes. Ha Sun-young, what do you want? Shall we even make a swimming pool?"

"No, crazy. You don't have to."

"It's okay. The housing price is cheap around here. Don't be burdened and say it"

"I don't need it……."

So, I started to completely flip the inside of the dungeon. All the buildings were left as it is while all the free spaces were fully utilized to create a natural environment where the spirits could at least obtain natural energy, and even a plastic house was built.

In addition, I paid another 500 days of lifeforce in order to create a portal that could communicate with the outside world. And a 'Dimensional pass' was engraved on all the girls.

"If you have this tattoo, you can come to this place anytime you want through a 'Point' near Gangnam Square."

"Oh… Amazing!"

Although it has consumed a considerable amount of lifeforce, it can't be helped. Creating a portal was necessary in order to let all guild members to freely enter the HQ as well as to allow the Internet, electricity, and radio waves to get through..

At first, Taylor, Ha Sun-young and Ye sa-hye only showed a lukewarm reaction, but three months later.

"I love it so much! I think it's romantic!"

At the moment, all the necessary construction was almost completed. All the buildings inside the floating garden were already rebuilt into a modern style building. And Ye Sa-hye was the one who expressed her liking first.

After Ye Sa-hye, the other two also showed their approval through their expression.

"Hm…If it's here, it's perfect for training. There are no people, and you don't have to worry about the noise."

"Well, it's more comfortable than the former union building."

Ye Sa-hye said she wanted to work in a place like this, Ha Sun-young said it was a good place for training, and Taylor just liked the night view. It became a very good hideout.

There are still many things to attend to in the future such as building additional facilities, but there is no problem whatsoever because we wouldn't run out of space anytime soon. All I needed to do was utilize all of the remaining space.

"Hey, Seodam. I am not a member of your guild, is it really okay to give me a pass?"

"Think of it as a love call."

"This crazy guy. Do you know how long I have been in the Villain Hunter Alliance?"

"It's a love call. Just think about it slowly."

Taylor sighed, then said with a murderous smile.

"All right, you bastard. Once I go back from taking care of some housework, I will think about it."

When Taylor said she was going back to Russia, I remembered Yekaterina.

Since we even built a guild hideout, we could act as a real guild now. The half year that Yekaterina had promised was almost over, so it's time to pick her up.

'But, before that, I should go to America first.'

Washington, D.C. U.S.A

Seol Jungyeon was active in the United States as a leader of the New Murim League. A SSS rank superhuman who showed up with great ambition!

SSS rank superhumans had only appeared a few times. That was why Seol Jungyeon's appearance drew a lot of public attention. Most of the SSS rank hunters that appeared before her were already in retirement even before they hunted and had never been interviewed on TV due to reasons such as unstable abilities or personality.

Also, Seol Jungyeon didn't shy away from the limelight. She revealed herself to the world and showed her presence strongly so that the world would recognize the existence of 'Jungwon Murim'.

A world where people of Murim could freely operate without interference from any country.

Besides, it was good to show his face and act as well…

"···Master. There were also people outside."

"Ugh…."

"Those damn things have come again."

Thanks to her subjugation activity for the past few months, Seol Jungyeon was able to set up a large office in Washington, D.C. However, this place wasn't free of troubles. People were camping outside to see a glimpse of her beauty.

With platinum hair that gives a gloomy feeling and pink eyes that look like lotus flowers, her appearance was very different yet mysterious and beautiful. On top of that, she is also a SSS rank Murim warrior as well as a DR. Isn't she really the right girl to steal people's hearts?

Head of Murim was a sacred position. The fact that the people of the Earth saw Seol Jungyeon as a celebrity made some Murim elders fume in rage.

If it were before, the elders wouldn't hesitate to kill any civilians because of their impudence. However, this was the modern era and they had to live according to the times. The elders didn't have any choice but to endure. They were no longer people of Murim, but modern Murim.

"Let it go."

As Seol Jungyeon said so with her tired eyes, Shin Hye-ji nodded her head.

As a person who knows modern laws better than anyone here, she was following Seol Jungyeon under the instruction of Park Songho, who worked as the secretary of the new Murim league. And she was absolutely loyal to Seol Jungyeon's words. She showed a strong willingness to really kill herself on the spot if Seol Jungyeon wished for it.

"They come here because they like me anyway…"

Outside the window, quite a few people were holding banners with Seol Jungyeon's face printed on it. Some of them even screamed to make her look towards them,

Those people were commonly referred as 'hardcore fans.'

"If Joongwon Murim became independent, we wouldn't see them anymore…."

Unfortunately, people of Murim were scattered around the world because they could not be gathered and there was no place for them to gather.

It was an unavoidable reality. They just accepted it and lived.

And suddenly,

"Master. A guest has come."

"Who is it?"

"He is hunter Yoo Seodam."

"…..! Let him in."

Yoo Seodam was someone who held the seat of New Murim League's Military advisor. He had the authority to participate in any meeting. However, before the elders could even react, Seol Jungyeon let him in right after hearing his name. It was a rude gesture towards the elder and they expressed their disapproval and Seol Jungyeon also looked embarrassed.

She realized she made a mistake.

"…I'm sorry. I made a mistake."

Yoo Seodam, who walked through the door, noticed that people inside the large conference hall were looking at him with ugly faces.

'What's wrong with them?'

Seol Jungyeon said in a subdued voice while pressing at her temple.

"Let's finish here today. Elders please go back."

"However, we have not yet decided on the participant of the upcoming SS Rank Great Rift and SS Rank Monster Subjugation ."

"You take care of it."

"…..Yes? yes!"

As Seol Jungyeon, who seemed to be in a somewhat sour mood, slowly crushed the atmosphere with her qi. the elders glanced towards each other and walked out from the hall. However, Shin Hye-ji was still sticking to Seol Jungyeon without a change in her expression.

Seol Jungyeon also said to her.

"You have suffered a lot too. Go and relax a little."

"Thank you."

Eventually, once everyone left the conference hall and there were only two left, Yoo Seodam sighed while stealing a glance towards her.

"With what kind of look you are trying to kill a person…."

"Pheww…. it's originally like this. By the way, for what purpose did you come?"

Seol Jungyeon's mood had changed significantly from the previous one, she smiled gently and spoke to him. Yoo Seodam sat down across her.

"I heard that there are many troubles regarding the independence of Jungwon Murim."

"…..right."

Seol Jungyeon's expression hardened slightly. However, Yoo seodam failed to notice it and continued.

"I think I can fix that for you. Perhaps, I could find an environment that resembles Jungwon Murim."

"…Is there such a place in this world?"

"Yes. But it's not exactly in this world, it's in another world."

"Huh?"

As Seol Jungyeon made an expression as if telling him to elaborate, Yoo Seodam explained to her.

"There's a small bubble world that transcends dimensions, and it was located in a hidden space between worlds. Earthlings can't see and recognize it."

"…."

"Well…. Let's say we turned the earth upside down. And there's a very large place there. It's a place no one has ever found and I can go there by creating a door. Is it awesome? Isn't that great?"

"I like that."

Seol Jungyeon couldn't understand half of his words. However, the appearance of Yoo Seodam who eagerly explained it while moving his hand in the air was somehow interesting and cute. Seol Jungyeon simply listened to his explanation with her hand stuck on her chin.

"In any case, I'll show it to you soon. Probably, if we put multiple exits, Murim people from all over the world can gather at any time."

"…Yeah, thank you very much."

Seol Jungyeon felt sincere gratitude for the consideration that Yoo Seodam showed even though she didn't really understand his words. Anyway, what she could infer from his words was he would give Murim people a space for free activities.

Probably, the Murim people may be able to recover their minimum self-esteem and work as freely as before.

Of course, Yoo Seodam hadn't yet found the space that could be used as the new Jungwon Murim. Therefore, he wanted to take Seol Jungyeon around to find a useful space.

According to the system's words, there are quite a lot of dead dimensions on earth.

The New Murim Alliance was also a part of Yoo Seodam's force, so it would be great if he could help them to work freely.

After that, Yoo seodam elaborated more about the new space that would be used by the people of Murim. And after some time passed, both of them shut their mouths together to conclude the discussion.

After few moments of silence, Seol Jungyeon spoke,

"And. Do you have anything more to say?"

"Hm? About the monster subjugation request…."

"Not that."

"Hmm…. For the re-establishment of martial arts in modern society…"

"Not that."

"…..How is the weather today?"

"Not that."

Seol Jungyeon got up from her seat and gradually approached Yo Seodam while gently sweeping the table. Then she put her hand on his chest and squeezed his face. Yoo seodam gulped when her face was only a breath away from him.

"Do you see me only as a Leader of Murim people?"

"Ah, no…?"

"I gave up the name Cheonma because of you. However, I lead a new Murim alliance for your sake, not for their sake. I am very grateful for all your help to Murim."

Seol Jungyeon places her thighs on his lap. She was a pretty petite girl, Yoo seodam couldn't feel any weight from her.

"It's been a long time since we met each other and you just talk about work. At least, when such talk is over, how about sharing a private story? What an unattractive man you are."

"….Sorry."

"Are you sure you're really sorry?"

"Yes.."

Then Seol Jungyeon smiled brightly and hugged his neck.

Seol Jungyeon was someone who always had a cold expression wherever she went. However, that wasn't the true form of Seol Jungyeon. Her cold, sharp, heavy, and gloomy expression was nothing but a façade.

It's the duty of the strongest of the Murim alliance to maintain such a cold and heavy atmosphere. Because, by doing that, the seat of the Murim leader will not be insulted.

But when she came into a place where she could throw away all of those façade. A place where she wouldn't have to care about anyone's eyes looking at her.

"When I am with you, I am not the Master of Murim."

"······."𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"I'm just Seol Jungyeon who burns in loneliness."

She could throw away that façade at any time when she was there.

Chapter 89

While Yoo Seodam was in the United States to find a wandering dimension for Jungwon Murim, Taylor Nine returned to her hometown, Russia.

It was a huge federal state built on a vast land that took ten hours for the sun to reach every inch of its snowy landscape.

The home of the Blestasch family was located in the quiet countryside of Vladivostok, 10 hours earlier from the regional clock time. Blestash really tried their best to imitate a 'noble' in the modern era, with their grand mansion built lavishly and everything else.

Taylor Nine, who wore a silver dress sat quietly on a chair with a badge of silver light, a symbol of the family. Her hair was neatly trimmed.

"It's nice to see you again, Taylor."

Her brothers and sisters had gathered around her because of the family meeting. Unlike 16 years ago, they did not ignore her presence and tried to talk to her.

"You've been living filthily for years, be careful not to be rude to people."

Of course, they didn't talk in a friendly way.

Taylor glanced at one of her siblings with an indifferent eye. They glanced with contempt at Taylor's bob hair. It's good to be proud of their waist-long hair, but Taylor thought it would be nice to show them that her haircut was the hottest trend these days.

'These bastards haven't even watched Leon 3. Anyway, only the old people gathered….'

In the past, she was afraid of this place.

An aristocratic family in the modern world where nobility has vanished.

The reason they were able to pretend to be noble was because of the imbalance of the power beyond common sense, namely, superpowers.

More than 15 years ago, the very first superhuman villain group declared they will conquer the world using their power. And then, they were subjugated by people who called themselves 'villain hunters'. After that incident, the establishment of hierarchy using superpower was banned all over the world.

Of course, it was impossible to ban superpower even when they banned hierarchical systems. Several Russian families produced outstanding superhuman knights and gained considerable power, which soon take their status to akin to old aristocracy system

Taylor's influence within the family was close to zero. Blestash had a unique culture which bestows the right to talk through 'superpower' alone. It was because of the history of the Blestash family who received their peerage with only one Superpower.

It would be great if those cultures were non-existent in the first place. Because harassment was a daily occurrence in the family. They also hurled insults towards Taylor because of her weak superpower. Taylor had a childhood that was worse than the life of a family pet.

For Taylor Nine, Blestash was a hell she never wanted to go back to.

In fact, the moment she came back here, she felt stuffy.

However,

She understood.

'What was I scared of?'

The 8 siblings gathered here right now were all a S rank superhuman with better output than her, they also received elite education, and were truly nobles among the nobles… but, they were only kids with no actual experience.

Kids who were intoxicated with expensive clothes, food, and vodka as if they were real nobles.

When she first ran away from her family, she knew she was a coward.

She felt that it was only natural for people to treat her as worse than human because of her weak superpower.

She only knew that if she had no superpower, she would have nothing to do in this world.

But it wasn't true.

By chance, she met a boy without superpower who had a clearer goal and courage more than anyone else. Even without superpower and talent, he always stood in front of other superhumans and led them. Everyone else also leaned on him.

'…Thinking this way, should I say that the current Yoo Seodam is very fortunate?'

Overtime, his confident-self started to wither away to the point where Taylor had to question her judgement about the boy.

When everyone else awakened their Superpower and succeeded, he was the only one who couldn't get a proper place in society. After all, society was also a superpowered-oriented community.

So, when she was young, Taylor fell asleep every night with a wish that she would rather give her superpower to Yoo Seodam. Of course, that didn't happen.

Sixteen years ago, he gave her courage. He was the one who observed an inferior and useless superhuman like her more than anyone else. He was also the one who helped her to become a proper hunter.

And even now, 16 years later.

He still gave her the courage she needed. This time he was in a position where he could meet eye to eye with her.

'….I can't have fun here.'

The 16 years she had lived so far was a very precious time that cannot be replaced with anything else in the world. Those times could never be ignored.

"You're all gathered. It is good that the youngest come back before the important banquet."

The noisy hall fell silent with one word from Alexadre Blestash. He is the Patriarch of the Blestash family as well as Taylor's father. The faint sunlight leaking through the silver-colored window frames shone on Alexandre's silver hair, but it did not shine. Maybe it only looked like that in Taylor's eyes.

Alexandre looked around the hall and soon their eyes met. As if he lost interest in Taylor, he soon looked away from her.

Even though his youngest daughter returned after 16 years, it was a reunion without any sentiment. Alexandre only mentioned Taylor existence once, and that was it.

'….It became clear. I have to leave this place.'

Until now, Taylor had escaped from the family for a brief moment (16 years). She was able to do that because the family gave her their permission. However, now that she is able to use her power, Alexandre would think it was only natural for her to stop doing lowly things and work as a 'knight.'

A permission, in other words, when the family wants Taylor to come home, they could forcefully summon her.

By the way, Alexandre hadn't even once cared about Taylor who bet her life in the battlefield for the last 10 years. Yet suddenly, he wanted her to return because her power had become useful.

'It's ridiculous, really.'

Taylor couldn't even join any guild she wanted because the family only allowed her to leave but not join any organization. The Union where she was quite active only participated in some activities with trusted personnel and it was ambiguous to say that place where she belonged to.

In order to join Yoo Seodam's newly created guild 'Another League'….

She must cross a gateway called Alexandre Blestash.

The prophet is gone.

Even though it has already been close to half a year, the Morian Guild has not disclosed that fact to the world. They still pretend they had the prophet among their ranks. However, Morian stated that the prophet couldn't make any prophecy for the time being due to some reason. They were trying to buy some time by saying so.

It seems like they had a way to replace their reputation if they take the time like that.

Yekaterina looked towards the hall.

Underneath the chandelier clinging to the ceiling like stars, the luxurious banquet hall filled her blurry vision. She had lost her sight, but when she used her magic with the help of 'Library of the White Witch' she could see the world for a while.

The banquet hall was filled with people.

This banquet was called the 'Knight banquet'. An event that is held only once a year in Russia. Only those who called themselves 'noble' could attend this banquet. But now, not only knights, members of Morian Guild as well as other major figures from all over the world attend this banquet to make a connection with others.

The reason Yekaterina was able to appear here was purely because of the whim of Morian's guild master, Avon. She was originally a woman who would never disclose the existence of Yekaterina to the world, but… Yekaterina felt suspicious when she saw Avon behave as if her existence doesn't matter anymore.

'…I was thinking to ask her to duel me with the witch's law, but the plan went wrong.'

Originally, I had no intention of coming to such a place.

Yekaterina sat quietly in the corner with her eyes closed while sipping on a glass of wine. In her life, she didn't have any experience with both alcohol and men. The latter was because Avon strictly forbade her from doing so. She was quite awkward in this regard. The other witches were already hanging out with someone, while she sat alone in the corner of the hall. In her heart, she wished that Yoo Seodam would appear and accompany her. But soon she erased that thought.

'From now on, I have to do it by myself.'

Yoo Seodam already rescued her from the hell, allowed her to learn magic, which had been her lifelong wish, returned her music, and promised her a place to stay once she left Morian. She already received so much from him, she couldn't burden him more than this.

"Oh, this is my first time seeing you. How did I didn't know that there's such a beautiful woman in the Morian guild?"

From time to time, there's people who approach her. However, Yekaterina always reject their company by saying excuses like,

"Because I'm not feeling well…."

Literally. She had a pretty emaciated face. Her appearance now was way better than how she used to look before meeting Yoo Seodam. However the traces of living with nightmares everyday while stuck in her room for more than 10 years without seeing any sunlight properly were still there.

The people who approached her easily believed her excuse. In the meantime, she tried to grasp information about the banquet as much as possible.

'Did all 7 knights' families gather here…?'

Taking full advantage of her blurred vision, she looked at people's faces one by one, and found a woman that stood out from the rest. She's Taylor Nine. A woman she saw in the prophecy together with Yoo seodam.

'…She belonged to a Knight's family?'

Ads by Pubfuture

Somehow, Taylor Nine's expression didn't look good. She thought to go and talk to her, but then she remembered that she didn't personally know her.

She soon looked around the other audience members, except for the knights.

It was an unusual banquet filled with renowned people from all over the world. Although few guild officials were also present, a man who seemed to be the chief of the secretary of the 'Lost Day' guild stood right next to Avon.

'Come to think of it….. Didn't she say that she's been conducting research on how to realize magic through science?'

She had heard a few times that the reason why Morian was able to carry out the ridiculous experiment of mixing science with magic. It was because of Lost Day's enormous funding. Such experiments had been around for a long time.

Around last year, Yekaterina still remembered that Avon was angry because the magic experiment conducted in deformed dungeon was largely unsuccessful because of Yoo Seodam.

'Wait a minute… What is this…?'𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝑚

The combination of people who gathered here was strange. There weren't many guild members or hunters, most of the attendees were those who could exert great influence in the society. It was her first time attending a Knight banquet, but this banquet was way bigger than she initially thought.

'Surely……'

Suddenly, an idea crossed on her mind.

Avon climbed onto the podium and caught everyone's attention.

"I am the Master Morian Guild, Avon. nice to meet you."

She spoke slowly, as usual.

"Actually, today I came with a firm heart. As everyone knows, I'm going to make an important presentation today. Phew… at first, I couldn't say anything because my heart was trembling at the thought of talking in front of so many people."

She threw some humor lightly.

"Oh my goodness….Mr. Khan there, how's your third daughter doing?"

She induces familiarity.

Finally, she went to the point.

"……Everyone, the subject I'm going to bring out today is the story of 'amulet'."

The noisy hall quickly became quiet.

Amulet.

Very few numbers of veteran hunters and some well-informed institutions know about the existence of Amulet. However, everyone who gathered here today knew it very well. Amulet was a very unique and mysterious object that allowed people who did not have superpower to use it.

Yekaterina was well aware that the amulet was the best item to take away all the attention from the Murim people who use mystical ability called 'Mugong' who got famous recently.

Yekaterina hurriedly looked around her. As expected, the camera was rolling,

"Everyone. Amulets are not a superstition. It's not even an unknown ability. It was a 'Study'. The listing of text and numbers are the proof of it. And I'll name this study 'magic'."

"······!"

"Magic…?"

People questioned Avon's statement, but they never interrupted her declaration. They were also curious whether Amulet was another form of Mystical ability like Mugong.

Avon raised his wrist showing the mechanical bracelet that she wore.

"Moreover, Magic does not consume ether. Like Mugong, it uses a new energy that exists in nature itself, we call it 'essence energy', and this is the result of using it."

Wooong!

A flame rose from her palm. At first glance, it doesn't seem much different from normal superpower. To prove her point, Avon had installed a bunch of ether detectors around her. They were detectors that immediately triggered an alarm when a superhuman used their abilities, and also detected changes in etheric wavelengths.

The detectors ranged from a cheap one used in general roads and buildings, to high-performance one used by top-secret institutions, but none of the ether detectors responded to the magic.

"This is magic."

Even in the modern world, magic has a long history. It has been handed down from generation to generation. However, as science progressed, witches had to hide in society, and most of the magic was lost. The witches who lost their 'magic circle' couldn't find a way to activate their magic, and had to stay in hiding for hundreds of years…

But today!! By combining science and magic, the magic circle was finally implemented scientifically!

The bracelet on Avon's arm was the proof that Morian had successfully reproduced the 'Staff' used by witches in the distant past using science.

'…..Oh my God.'

When a result she had never thought of appeared in front of her, Yekaterina was astonished.

Because.

'It's too different…?'

It was because Avon's ambitious scientific magic was far lower than Magic that Yoo Seodam used.

Chapter 90

"From now on, I will reveal 'magic' to the world."

As Avon's voice poured out without any shred of hesitation, Taylor Nine made a complicated expression.

'Suddenly magic?'

Taylor knew a little about magic. It was an ability that Yoo Seodam frequently used. She originally thought that such magic could only be used by Yoo seodam. However, she knew about the existence of amulets, but she never thought that amulet was a by-product of magic.

'But that's….'

The magic shown by Yoo Seodam was completely different from what she saw right now. When Yoo Seodam used it, 3 or 4 brilliant magic circles overlapped in the air before the magic activated. However, Avon's magic was activated through a device. There was no Magic circle, so it looked like a normal superpower.

Of course, that doesn't mean that Avon's magic wasn't special.

Perhaps waiting in advance, three more wizards, including Avon, came out to show off more magic, they used a variety of superpowers.

There were people there who could handle multiple superpowers at the same time. For example, activating both binding and attack superpower at once and the other one was creating an energy shield while possessing a body-enhancement superpower.

All over the world, only a handful of superhumans possessed an additional 'Elemental' superpower on top of their original superpower. However, most of them had similar-type of abilities. And only very few of those handful people had dual abilities that did not collide with each other. And there was no one in the world who had more than one 'Elemental' superpower.

However, the magician in front of Taylor activated several elemental powers at the same time.

They made a gust while creating fire, raised a wall of dirt while making ice float in the air. The power itself was at the level of B rank, but the fact that one person could activate multiple abilities through 'learning' was likely to overturn the whole world.

Taylor immediately sent a message to Yoo Seodam.

[Taylor: Hey]

[Taylor: Where are you now?]

His reply came quickly.

[Seodam: America]

[Taylor: What are you doing now?]

[Seodam: I found a good dimension….]

[Seodam: We are working on connecting the dimension with several portals all over the world so that the space could be used as a base for the new Murim league.]

[Seodam: Didn't you say you go back to Russia?]

[Taylor: Yep.]

[Taylor: Are you watching the live broadcast now?]

[Seodam: What live broadcast?]

[Taylor: I'll send you the link]

It hasn't been an issue because the broadcast only started a few minutes ago. But given time, people will go crazy because of it. Taylor thought that Yoo Seodam should know about this before that happened. Because soon, his identity will be synonymous with the word 'Magic' and she thought that if others got it before him, he would be in trouble.

However, Yoo Seodam's reaction was quite plain.

[Seodam: Oh… they're integrating magic with science.]

Taylor was taken aback by his dry reaction.

[Seodam: Did they make a device to activate magic because they don't know how to make a staff?]

[Seodam: Should I call that an essence dispenser?]

[Seodam: It's amazing]

His interest seemed to be pointed at the technology of the Morian Guild.𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝑀

[Taylor: Hey! Have some sense of crisis!]

Ads by Pubfuture

Yoo Seodam was silent for a few minutes before replying.

[Seodam: I don't think it's necessary.]

Then he added another sentence.

[Seodam: As long as they don't go overboard.]

However,

As soon as Taylor read his last message,

"That is not the only possibility of magic. It was only one among many! Through magic, it was possible for us to open the gate of 'deformed dungeons' that have been impossible to interpret so far!"

Saying so, Avon pointed to the back. There, a strange-floating word of 'Deformed dungeon' shined like a mirage.

This building, where the knights' banquet was held, was located in Moscow, and had not been used until today since the appearance of the variant dungeon 10 years ago.

Taylor has been wondering why the Russian government decided to hold the banquet in a building where a deformed dungeon was located.

'No way, are you effing kidding me?'

The deformed dungeon, which appeared in Moscow, was left unattended for ten years since it was impossible to enter. Fortunately, the interpretation was slowly proceeding based on various scientist's theory that there were several decades left until 'synchronization' occured. However, many people believed it was impossible to predict with the power of science alone.

But now, Morian announced through the live broadcast that the entry conditions of the deformed dungeon, which spread all over the world and cannot be interpreted, could be cleared with magic!

"From now on, we will interpret the deformed dungeon that has troubled Moscow for 10 years."

And then, Yoo Seodam sent another message to Taylor while watching the live broadcast.

[Seodam: Fools!]

In fact, there would be no problem even if they opened the deformed dungeon. Most deformed dungeons had a level between A and S rank and opening the gate does not mean that there will be an accident immediately.

"Majority of deformed dungeons that appeared in modern times consist of 'unknown energy'. Modern science couldn't figure out those unknown energy, but actually those unknown energy were 'essence energy' a source of magic."

Wiiinngg~

A giant machine rotated and began to interpret the entrance of the deformed dungeon.

"From now on, whenever a deformed dungeon appears, we won't have to be afraid because we don't know when the synchronization will occur. We will be able to recover the land we had to abandon. As a proof of my words, today, I will interpret the deformed dungeon in Moscow, open the gate, and attack it with hunters equipped with 'amulet'."

There were 27 hunters next to Avon. There were seven S-rank hunters and twenty A-rank hunters, each of them were equipped with an 'amulet', so they were capable of clearing S-rank dungeons quite easily.

However, they aren't aware of one fact.

[Seodam: It could be quite dangerous]

[Seodam: If a deformed dungeon were left unopened for a long time, the essence energy will accumulate and the internal power of the dungeon will be upgraded]

In fact, in recent months, Seodam had been targeting 'Deformed dungeon' rather than ordinary dungeon. Most of the ordinary dungeons were already assigned towards other guilds, so there was almost no place for a small guild like his.

And while attacking numerous deformed dungeons, he was able to find out about the fact that when a deformed dungeon is neglected for quite some time, the energy inside the dungeon is accumulated and then stagnats. From that energy, either one powerful entity or a small number of elite monsters will be born!

[Seodam: The last time I raided a five-year-old deformed dungeon… a S-rank monster popped out like crazy as soon as I opened the gate.]

[Seodam: I really struggled back then]

[Seodam: The inside of the deformed dungeon is tightly stagnated.]

Did 21st century wizards really know about these facts that even a 16-years-old veteran hunter and the Library of White Witch didn't know about?

Yoo Seodam sent a text message to Taylor and a telepathy to Yekaterina through the 'Library of the White Witch'.

[Seodam: Get away from there.]

-You shouldn't be there, you should leave. Something dangerous will come out.

However, both of them rejected his advice.

They realized that through this opportunity they would be able to break away from the enormous chain of fate that held their lives in place.

[Taylor: talk to you later!]

-No. I have work to do.

Both of them returned to their original positions.

Taylor spoke to Alexandre.

"If a deformed dungeon bursts, it will be dangerous. We must leave and warn other people!"

Ads by Pubfuture

While Yekaterina spoke to Avon.

"Avon. You should not open the deformed dungeon."

But.

"Taylor Blestash. Both your stupidity and deviation for the last 16 years is enough. It's time for us to grab new power and move forward."

Alexandre Blestash. An S rank superhuman who couldn't reach his long-life dream of becoming a SS rank superhuman. There's no way he would turn away from an unknown power called 'magic' which could possibly make his dream come true.

Also, Avon was the same.

"We want to reveal our magic to the world, are you going to interfere? If you don't want to be locked up again, stay quiet."

After a long journey, she finally succeeded in incorporating magic with science, and established a place where she could properly spread her influence in the world with magic.

'She wants me to turn away from such an opportunity?'

And then,

The gate of deformed dungeon finally opened.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Th…The dungeon is full of monsters!"

"More monsters are popping out!"

Just like what Yoo Seodam said, the dungeon burst out and a strengthened monster popped out from the inside of the dungeon.

"Unbelievable….."

Avon quickly stepped away from the dungeon vicinity, her face was pale.

'Monsters of A rank and higher!'

Ultimately, A-rank monsters were treated as a 'miscellaneous mob' inside a deformed dungeon. The real deal starts from S-rank monster

'….At the least, it is an SS rank deformed dungeon.'

What kind of an accident is this? This place should be a place where she gained recognition by revealing the existence of magic to the world.

It was only then that Avon recalled Yekaterina's warning. She slowly looked behind her. Yekaterina stood there while looking at herself with her usual expression.

"…Yekaterina."

"Avon. I warned you."

"But, this was inevitable for our dream."

"I know."

It was Avon who wanted the existence of the witches to be revealed to the world once again. However, the process was too cruel. How many people had she killed so far? How many people did she buy with the promise of power? How long had she been harassing Yekaterina?

So, Yekaterina decided to negotiate with Avon as her last consideration.

"Avon. Let's make a deal."

"….what?"

"It's a deal under the 'Witch's Law'. It is an absolute deal that should never be broken."

"······!"

When Yekaterina mentioned the Witch's Law, Avon's pupils shook. How could someone who grew up without knowing that she was a witch know about 'Witch's law? But that wasn't important.

"I have no power to defeat the monsters who escaped from the dungeon…. But at the very least I can close the gate."

"That's impossible. The closing device is still in the development stage!"

"It's not that you don't want to believe I can close the gate?"

At those words, Avon opened his eyes wide.

Avon was a witch through and through. Even though she was late to understand the situation due to an unexpected situation, she always pursued efficient transactions.

"What do you want in return?"

"Promise with the Witch's Law. If I close the door of the Dungeon, the Morian Guild will let me go."

Avon thought about it for a while, but there was no other way.

Avon nodded her head, but she couldn't hide her clumsily maintained expression.

"···good. If you close the door, I will surely fulfill my promise."

It was hard to admit that her own magic was weaker than Yekaterina's
