Episode 186
Seunghun and Harin watched the situation with nervous expressions.
The opponents were all people who had the ability to do something in the blink of an eye.
So I couldn’t take my eyes off it even for a moment.
It was the same for the opponent.
Cheonbyeon, Seomjeon, and Mangjong were all watching Sihyeon closely to see if Sihyeon, who they believed to be Geomje, might make an unexpected move.
The hostage exchange took place in such a tense atmosphere.
Choi Kang-hyuk and the female guards began to slowly walk towards the other side.
As we had promised in advance, we took one step at a time.
The female guards’ steps were trembling, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
However, he didn’t fall down and kept going. Because I knew that this was the only way to survive.
Unlike them, Choi Kang-hyuk seemed relaxed enough to hum a song.
Still, there was no action to break the promise, such as speeding up.
There is no need to give an opportunity to ruin something that is going well anyway.
But his gaze did not remain still.
He looked up and down the bodies of the female prison guards with his eyes and grinned.
Every time Choi Kang-hyuk made eye contact, the female guards trembled with fear.
“Wow, I’ve been in the bread for a long time, and just smelling a woman’s scent makes me feel like I’m going crazy. I need to get over it quickly or something. I won, tsk tsk tsk.”
As he passed by the female prison guards, Choi Kang-hyuk cast a sinister look and blurted out a word.
The female guards passed by Choi Kang-hyuk with pale expressions, pretending not to hear him.
Step by step, the hostages got closer to where they were waiting.
Seunghun and Harin looked relieved as they got closer.
The expression on the riverside side also brightened.
In the first place, the goal was Choi Kang-hyuk.
Even though Ssang-gwi lost his life, it was a cheap price to get Choi Kang-hyuk out that much.
If it ended like this, it would have been a satisfactory goal achieved.
-Get out right away, right?
Cheonbyeon sent a message to Seomjeon.
Since the target had been obtained anyway, there was no need for further fighting.
On the contrary, there was a possibility that something that was going well could become unnecessarily complicated.
-That’s right.
Seomjeon must have thought the same thing, so he answered like that. At the same time, he also sent a signal to Mangjong.
Mangjong also nodded as if he understood.
Meanwhile, Choi Kang-hyuk was almost at the threshold of heaven.
“For this, I’m really thankful.”
Choi Kang-hyuk said with a smile that he liked it.
Cheonbyeon also had a smile on his face.
“Regaining freedom is always something to celebrate.”
“Thank you again.”
Choi Kang-hyuk’s brighter face got closer to heaven.
No, I tried to approach.
That moment.
“…Ugh?!”
Suddenly, Choi Kang-hyuk clutched his stomach and collapsed on the spot.
It was a very painful face.
For a moment, puzzlement appeared on everyone’s expressions.
“Why is that?”
Cheonbyeon, who was closest, wondered what was going on and hurried over to check on Choi Kanghyuk’s condition.
In that short time, sweat had already formed on his forehead.
This thing seemed really painful.
What on earth?
That was when Cheonbyeon had that thought.
Choi Kang-hyuk’s hand moved without any sign.
Toward the heart of heaven.
Pow!
Choi Kang-hyuk’s hand pierced her completely defenseless chest.
And exactly near the heart.
“Big, big…!”
Cheonbyeon’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Red blood flowed from the mouth.
As if she couldn’t believe it, she looked at Choi Kang-hyuk and tried to say something with the last of her strength.
But soon his head lost strength and fell down.
My body also became limp.
It was a vain end unbecoming of a Black Cross executive who terrified many people.
“…!”
Everyone froze as if cold water had been poured on them at this unbelievable death.
Even Choi Kang-hyuk, the person who killed Cheon-byeon, looked dumbfounded for a while.
Then, his body trembled, he pulled his bloody hand away from Cheonbyeon’s chest, and shouted.

“…Oh, no! No! No! It’s not me!”
Choi Kang-hyuk shook his head with a thoughtful face and said something incomprehensible.
Clap clap!
At that time, applause was heard from behind.
It was a vision.
He opened his mouth with a very satisfied expression.
“You did a great job as planned, Choi Kang-hyuk. The government will definitely keep its promise, so don’t worry.”
“you you?!”
Choi Kang-hyuk was looking at Si-hyeon with a complicated face, and the words Si-hyeon had said earlier lingered in his ears like an auditory hallucination.
-When you approach a riverside, you feel an extreme stomachache that you cannot bear. And when a catastrophe approaches, you kill it. In the surest way you can.
At that time, I thought, what kind of bullshit are you talking about?
But my body moved according to the bullshit he said.
It was truly crazy and crazy.
Choi Kang-hyuk glared at Si-hyeon and frowned.
“You, you… you bastard! What did you do, you bastard!”
Choi Kang-hyuk shouted fiercely.
“…What are you doing?”
Someone muttered coldly.
It was a white moon.
I felt a strong anger in him that seemed to freeze my heart.
His loyalty to Cheonbyeon was so strong that it cannot be expressed in words.
Cheonbyeon not only saved his life, but was also his benefactor who personally taught him all the assassination techniques and guided him to this position.
She lost her life in vain before her eyes.
The psychological shock Baekwol felt was indescribable.
And he was feeling extreme anger towards Choi Kang-hyuk, the person who killed her.
So much so that blood flows out of my lips that I bite so hard.
“Hey… Hey, it’s not me! It’s not me?”
Choi Kang-hyuk quickly waved his hand in denial.
However, seeing that abominable sight made Baekwol even more angry, and he lunged at Choi Kang-hyeok with a dagger.
Life dripped from his movements.
Choi Kang-hyuk quickly tried to escape.
It was difficult enough now, but if it got worse, it would be really difficult.
-… And kill them too.
In a moment. The words that Si-hyeon had said earlier, “Kill me in a sure way,” rang in my ears like an auditory hallucination again.
And at that moment, contrary to my thoughts, my body moved in the opposite direction.
Just as he had killed Cheonbyeon earlier, he put a lot of power into his hands and stabbed Baekwol with bloody force.
No, it was so ferocious that it could not be compared to before.
By killing the S-class Cheonbyeon, he automatically consumed his abilities and was reborn as a true S-class.
And Baekyue, who was a class A, could not handle his suddenly much stronger strength and speed.
“Whoops…!”
Baekwol also had a huge hole in his chest.
It was a fatal wound.
He let out fresh blood with a grievous look on his face. And soon he lowered his head without even closing his eyes.
‘it’s okay.’
Seeing that, Sihyeon smiled in remorse.
I predicted that if he killed Cheonbyeon, Choi Kanghyuk might rise to S rank.
And I also recognized that if I did that, there was a risk that the shackles of yelling might be loosened.
But I took a risk.
Because I thought that was the only way to turn this situation around.
Fortunately, the adventure seemed to end in success.
The restraints that had already been placed on Goham had not been loosened, and were still tightly binding Choi Kang-hyuk.
“Oh my, my…f*ck!”
Choi Kang-hyuk cursed in a trembling voice. Because I clearly realized that the situation was completely messed up.
It was now impossible to resolve.
Still, he shouted in a desperate voice.
“It’s not me! It’s not really me! That bastard! It’s all because of that bastard!”
Choi Kang-hyuk pointed at Si-hyeon and looked truly aggrieved.
If you had said that after you first committed the crime, they might have listened to you a little more.
However, Baekwol had already been killed.
Seomjeon and Mangjong glared at Choi Kang-hyuk with expressions as if they were doing some kind of manipulation.
“Good job, Choi Kang-hyuk. Now the numbers are correct. Let’s start killing the remaining enemies.”
Sihyeon whirled around and took out Acurelust from its scabbard again.
“You bastard! You betrayed me!”
Seomjeon gritted his teeth and shouted.
The Power Devourer was the emperor’s man in the other world.
Secretly raised as a secret weapon.
Even power predators did not dare to raise their heads towards the emperor.
He obediently stuck his neck out on the leash.
So I thought it would be no different here.
But it really was a knife in the back of the head.
I was so angry that I felt like my stomach was going to turn over.
“No! No!”
Choi Kang-hyuk quickly denied it, but there was no way it would work in this situation.
Seomjeon wanted to plunge his sword into the traitor at any moment, but he barely held back.
It was instinctive coolness.
The situation was worst.
The person who was aiming for it betrayed him.
The very purpose of coming here has been distorted.
And as a result, only Cheonbyeon and Baekwol lost their lives.
-Take it easy. Losing weight is the priority now.
Manjong, like a great wise man, judged the situation calmly and sent a message to Seomjeon.
-… I know. However, if we leave this predator unattended, it will soon become our problem.
Seomjeon answered.
-I can’t help it. Still, I’ll try to get rid of him. You must quickly send a signal to Hurain and the commander.
-All right.
Seomjeon nodded as if there was nothing he could do.
And soon his body moved quickly.
Both the commander and Hurain who were caught up in the fight were quite far away.
It was a distance where electric sound could not reach.
So, the intention was to convey the situation by moving directly.
Still, since he had transcendent divine laws, it wouldn’t take long.
Manjong, who was watching this, turned his attention to Choi Kang-hyuk.
As Seomjeon said, leaving the power predator as is and retreating would be unfortunate in the future.
He was someone who could continue to become stronger without knowing the end. If he could break it before, he should have broken it.
Mangjong’s eyes slowly turned to Sihyeon behind him.
The person he kept in check the most was Sihyeon.
Seunghoon and Harin were not even in mind.
Manjong quietly measured the distance between him and Sihyeon.
Sihyeon was still not moving from that spot.
That meant that the distance between Manjong and Choi Kang-hyuk was much closer than Si-hyeon. If so, it was definitely worth giving it a try.
Manjong’s fingers moved secretly.
The intention was to move the World Tree Golem.
Even a single World Tree Golem had the power to crush most S-class strongmen into dust.
If you move two golems like that, no matter how much Choi Kang-hyuk devoured the world and rose to S rank, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Choi Kang-hyuk’s movements, which we confirmed earlier, were not enough to be called a strong player among the S-class.
Choi Kang-hyuk was still babbling to himself with an aggrieved expression on his face.
… What a ridiculous guy.
As expected, that guy was extremely malicious and cunning.
How can they act like that just to get more food to eat here?
King Mangjong laughed as if he were dumbfounded and flicked his finger in the air with his right hand, secretly hidden behind his back.
Then, suddenly, two World Tree Golems kicked the ground and moved.
To exactly where Choi Kang-hyuk is.
“Uh…huh?!”
Kanghyuk Choi, surprised by the sudden movement of the World Tree Golem, let out a confused sound.
He knew it too.
I can’t believe how absurdly dangerous that thing is.
“…!”
Seunghoon and Harin’s eyes opened wide in surprise, and their heads automatically turned to Sihyeon.
They don’t have time to save Choi Kang-hyuk.
However, Geomje might have the ability to save Choi Kang-hyeok even from this distance.
So I looked at the vision.
however.
Sihyeon didn’t move.
He had a relaxed face and a strange smile on his lips.
Seunghoon and Harin looked as if they had been punched in the back of the head.
… what?
Weren’t we on the same side?
After seeing what Choi Kang-hyuk did, I thought it was inevitable.
Otherwise, Choi Kang-hyuk would have had no reason to do such a thing.
Manjong also saw that expression.
‘That… ?’
Manjong’s eyes narrowed.
For a moment, something felt uncomfortable.
An unpleasant feeling ran down my spine.
But I had no idea what it was.
Rationally, there was nothing wrong with my current actions.
Meanwhile, the World Tree Golem reached Choi Kang-hyuk.
Choi Kang-hyuk was flustered with an embarrassed face.
“Oh, don’t come!”
Choi Kang-hyuk shouted and tried to escape.
However, the World Tree Golem had already occupied both sides of him and began a perfect joint attack.
The golem’s fist sharply tore through the air and attacked his torso.
both.
“Uh… uh…?”
It’s truly a dilemma.
There was already no way to avoid it, and if one side was blocked, the other side would be hit.
In his panic, Choi Kang-hyuk instinctively stretched out both hands and tried to block both attacks.
but.
Crack!
“Aaaah!”
The moment they collided, Choi Kang-hyuk’s hands were so vainly broken and twisted.
And the golem’s attacks did not stop.
“Ugh… Ugh! Ugh!!”
Cluck!
Pow!
The golem’s fist hit Choi Kang-hyuk’s torso.
The sound of bones breaking.
And without stopping there, the fist kept going and exploded all the internal organs.
Fresh blood sprayed like a fountain and Choi Kang-hyuk died.
“….”
Although he succeeded in killing Choi Kang-hyuk as he intended, Manjong’s expression was not refreshed.
Si-hyeon’s expression continued to haunt me.
“You succeeded! Let’s go, Great Sage!”
Seomjeon, who had already returned, shouted.
Hurain and the commander were not visible as they had already evacuated.
“Uhm… okay, let’s go.”
Manjong had an uncomfortable look on his face, but he moved his body as if he had no choice.
Sihyeon leisurely watched them retreating.
Of course, inside I was sighing with relief.
I felt like I had gone to hell and back overnight.
I still couldn’t believe that I had defeated the enemies without major damage.
If a series of adventurous moves had not worked, it would have been the one that suffered a loss.
“Sword Emperor….”
Harin muttered as if she still wasn’t sure what was going on.
As Sihyeon stared at her, his expression suddenly changed as he remembered something important.
This wasn’t the only place where there was chaos.
Many people were still facing threats to their lives.
Still, I had to leave at least one person here just in case.
“Paladin, I’m sorry, but I need you to take care of this place. Hyris, let’s go.”
“You’re pampering me again.”
Even though Hyris grumbled, he approached Sihyeon.
She said, glancing at the traces of the blood clot that had occurred here.
“It was a very spectacular fight. You have become much stronger.”
Because she was fighting with Hurain far away, she did not know the situation here.
“What’s wrong, it was hard.”
Sihyeon continued speaking with a soft smile.
“Let’s go.”
