He’s the Legendary Guard, Isn’t He? Chapter 59

Episode 57

What is this?

Sihyeon was taken aback by the sudden situation.

You can detoxify this damn paralyzing poison?

He looked at the notification window again as if checking. As expected, it was said that Poahim would detoxify the poison by drinking the tears of the world tree or something.

Come to think of it, Poahim and I had a relationship in which it was possible to influence each other to some extent. It was he who saved Poahim, who was dying of starvation, by eating him.

If so, the opposite is also possible. I don’t know what the World Tree’s tears are, but it is certain that they have a detoxifying effect that can detoxify the paralyzing poison. If Poahim drinks it, it will be effective for us as well.

You can buy it!

Suddenly I was filled with hope. The opponent firmly believes in the power of paralysis poison. So there was no binding or anything like that. It means that you are letting down your guard.

If you use it.

Sihyeon quickly rolled her eyes and looked around. He was so paralyzed that he couldn’t open his mouth to speak, but his eyes were moving.

Heeseung made Sihyeon sit on a wooden chair. It was a place where people were bound and tortured. He had to move before being bound with shackles or iron chains. After I was tied up, everything was over.

“I do it first?”

Heeseung said. It meant torture.

“Do whatever you want. I’m not interested, so I’m going up.”

Kyungjin disappeared towards the stairs with an expression of disinterest.

good.

It was very good. Sihyeon’s heart beat rapidly with excitement. With this, only two people remain in this space. If that woman also went up, it seemed easy to deal with the remaining one who was caught off guard.

please.

Sihyeon prayed in her heart.

However, it seems that the expectations were excessive.

“I’ll be watching. Do it first. I’m looking forward to it. What kind of expression will that man make? Oh, but don’t be too harsh and kill him. Please be considerate of the people waiting for their turn.”

Rebecca said as she sat cross-legged on the chair near the door.

Heeseung smiled bitterly.

“I’m going to do that as much as possible… but I’m a bit clumsy, so I might make a mistake.”

“Don’t make a mistake.”

“Okay, okay.”

Heeseung walked over to the dark-colored table where the torture instruments were placed and picked something up.

It was an iron tong.

I could tell right away what he was trying to do. They are trying to pull out fingernails and toenails.

“Let’s start by pulling out the fingernails one by one. You know what? Torture without screaming is a different kind of fun. It’s so funny that when you feel like you’re going crazy from the pain, you can’t even scream and just open your mouth. Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”

Heeseung slowly approached Sihyeon.

On the outside, Sihyeon’s eyes were shaking as if she was filled with fear. It was to keep her off guard until the end.

But of course, he had a sword inside him.

How to attack?

Loading a weapon from your inventory gives you time to react. In that case, after hitting the solar plexus hard with your fist to make you lose your senses, immediately take out the sword… kill.

Sihyeon was heartbroken. The opponents were the worst villains who tried to brutally torture and kill him. Moreover, they are contract killers who are hired to kill innocent people.

If you think you can’t kill these people, you end up doing it instead. And not just one, but three. It was an absolutely disadvantageous and dangerous situation. It was not a system to hide something.

Survive somehow. That was the only time I could think about it.

Si-hyeon gathered his trembling heart and prepared himself to endure his first murder with determination.

“Now, where….”

Heeseung came a little closer and raised his tongs with a happy expression.

‘Poahim, now!’

Sihyeon shouted in her heart.

Then, for a moment, the image of a big man with a scary look drinking liquid from a flask-like bottle passed by. And after a while, I felt my paralyzed muscles loosening up as a refreshing energy quickly surged throughout my body.

At the same time, without any warning, he swung his right fist with all his might towards Heeseung’s solar plexus. Somehow, I felt like my body had more vitality than before I became paralyzed. His fist hit Heeseung’s solar plexus faster and more powerfully.

Pow!

“Kahahah…!”

Heeseung, who was hit hard in the solar plexus while defenseless, fell down with an expression of disbelief. She was clutching her chest with a painful expression on her face, as if she was having trouble breathing.

‘now!’

Sihyeon took out the sword from his inventory without delay. Instead of the long sword he usually used, he took out the Legendary Acure Luts.

Now was not the time to hide power for later or anything. He had to use all the strength he had to survive here.

“you…!”

It was only when Sihyeon held the Acureluts in her hand that Rebecca reacted with surprised eyes. This all happened so quickly.

Rebecca leapt forward to block Sihyeon’s movements.

However, the Acurelust was already falling toward Heeseung, scattering brilliant silver sword light.

grasp!

Tuk.

Something was cut and fell helplessly to the floor. Fresh blood dyed the air red and splashed in all directions.

damn.

Sihyeon frowned.

It was Heeseung’s right arm that was cut off. He originally intended to cut off his head, but failed to do so. He was determined to kill himself, but his first murder was not an easy one.

It was completely different from killing monsters. At the moment when I was about to kill him, I unconsciously felt a strong sense of resistance and changed the direction of my attack.

Sihyeon clenched his teeth and swung his sword again. This time, I really planned to take my breath away without wavering.

But before I knew it, Rebecca’s new model was right in front of me.

Kaang!

Acurelust and the dagger clashed with each other.

“uh?”

Rebecca stared blankly at the broken blade fragments flying into the air with wide-open eyes. In just one collision, the dagger’s blade was shattered.

… This can’t be happening.

She took a step back without realizing it. Her strength and sharpness were not even heightened by her sword energy. Her blade was simply broken by her swing.

An incredibly famous sword.

It seemed like it was more than unique. Among the unique items she had seen so far, there was nothing like that. Rather than greed for treasure, confusion came first. How can a man who is an E-class hunter and prison guard have such a famous sword?

It made no sense at all.

And one more thing.

The ice snake’s paralyzing poison was not something that could be detoxified on its own. But the person who had been paralyzed deciphered it on his own?

It absolutely makes no sense.

There’s one more thing.

his movements.

You can tell just by looking at it a little. That it is definitely not that of an E-class hunter.

So, the information provided by the organization was wrong?

There has never been anything like that before.

… No matter how I thought about it, it was a series of situations that I could not understand at all.

Rebecca couldn’t help but have serious doubts about the identity of the vision. Si-hyeon, who watched her pause for a moment, took advantage of the opportunity and swung her sword again to cut off Hee-seung’s life.

Even though he was out of his mind due to intense pain, Heeseung instinctively tried to avoid it by staggering backwards.

However, the movement was much slower than usual. Although he narrowly avoided the blow, Sihyeon attacked a second time without hesitation.

I stabbed Acurelust towards Heeseung’s chest. Rebecca, who saw this, hurriedly stretched out her hand and tried to block the attack. I placed the blade exactly on the trajectory where the stab was heading.

however.

Cheonggang!

This time, her dagger was completely shattered with a loud metallic sound. Her blade was already broken, so her durability was greatly weakened.

Phew!

“Big… wow…!”

Without any further obstacles, the Acurelust was deeply embedded in Heeseung’s chest.

Heeseung’s eyes were wide open, as if he couldn’t believe he was dying, and blood foam spewed out. He shook his body convulsively with the last of his strength and then dropped his head.

Before confirming his death, Sihyeon pulled out his sword. This was in preparation for Rebecca’s attack.

But she didn’t come. Instead, she stepped behind her and burst open the bag containing the Skeleton Poison Butterfly’s poison powder, quickly putting her antidote into her mouth and swallowing it in one gulp.

Soon, black poison powder filled the room. Spraying of poison powder in narrow spaces. In this situation, there are few attack methods more lethal than this.

You had to hold your breath right away, something that only very experienced hunters could do.

Sihyeon was taken aback by the situation that suddenly unfolded. Since he had never experienced an attack like this before, it didn’t immediately occur to him that he had to hold his breath. He belatedly covered his mouth, but he had already inhaled a lot of the poison powder.

Rebecca confirmed this and spoke assertively with a cold gaze.

“You die. Within 10 seconds.”

The poison of the skeleton poison butterfly was not a type of paralyzing poison. It is a terrible poison that melts human organs. It was a fatal poison that most people could not withstand for even 10 seconds and would die with black blood flowing from their body.

“…!”

Upon hearing those words, Sihyeon’s face turned an earthy color. Her heart was beating fast and her whole body was shaking. For a moment, nothing came to mind. I only prayed that the effects of the World Tree’s tears that Poahim had taken still remained, and that it would also work on the poison that I had just inhaled.

Rebecca stretched out her hands and folded her fingers one by one, counting the time, as if kindly announcing death. And when his last finger folded, the expected spectacle did not unfold.

With a stern face, Rebecca waited for five more seconds.

But as expected, Sihyeon was fine.

Rebecca gave an expression of complete disbelief. He opened his eyes in astonishment and shook his head from side to side several times.

“…What the hell is this? It doesn’t make sense… No, that doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense. Then, there’s no way he could have been infected with paralyzing poison in the first place… No, he was just pretending to have it? No, that can’t be true…”

She continued muttering with a confused look on her face. She seemed to be in great shock.

‘Whew.’

Seeing that, Sihyeon sighed in relief. Fortunately, the World Tree’s tears seem to have had an effect.

Sihyeon grabbed the sword again and took a stance to attack.

One person was dealt with. There are now two left. If we take care of that woman, there will be only one person left.

But I felt hesitation. In the midst of the confusion, he gathered his composure and somehow succeeded in killing one person.

However, he is more averse to killing women. I didn’t even know it was an instinct of the male race.

‘What do we do.’

Sihyeon thought for a moment.

Should I kill him or not? If you have to kill, can you kill?

The current situation was in his favor. Seeing that the group that went up to the first floor was quiet, it seemed like they couldn’t hear what was going on here. It seemed to be very well insulated.

Well, if sound could easily escape from here, there would have been no reason to create a secret door. So, first of all, there is only one woman. Luckily, her dragon poisoning skill was not effective on her current self.

If so, it’s definitely worth a try. After trying it out earlier, I thought it was surprisingly worth doing. To the extent that I felt that way, my body felt lighter and more energetic than usual.

The tears of the World Tree that Poahim drank seemed to not only have a detoxifying effect but also a buffing effect. Plus, there was Acurierts.

The acuity of Acurerats was beyond imagination. In just one attack, he shattered the enemy’s blade and completely destroyed the second. It was so incredibly powerful that even Sihyeon himself couldn’t believe it.

can do!

Although it was a critical situation with two C-class assassins remaining, there was no feeling of being intimidated at all. Rather, I felt strangely confident. So much so that one wonders whether the tears of the World Tree have any effect in uplifting one’s spirit.

‘Legs.’

Sihyeon made a decision. She initially intended to run away from here, but changed her mind. After cutting off one of the woman’s legs and rendering her incapable of fighting, he climbs up and finishes off the remaining one. And if possible, I planned to come back down and get information from the woman.

While Sihyeon was worrying, Rebecca’s head was also complicated with various thoughts. Because it was an order from the organization, I did it without much thought. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was caught up in something quite troubling.

Legendary?

Things like that were stories from another world that only S-class monsters could get involved with. A C-level assassin like yourself will never have anything to do with it in your life. This was especially true if he was a prison guard and E-class hunter.

But what on earth is this now? Besides, it’s not actually E-class?

Plus, poison doesn’t work there.

Why on earth?

Unanswered questions constantly cluttered my mind.

no way… .

Suddenly I remembered that Cheonbyeon was in Korea. She was curious as to what she, who mainly travels between powerful countries, would come to this small country.

But what if it has something to do with that guy?

Moreover, this incident was directly ordered by Cheonbyeon. And looking at it, it was suspicious that Cheonbyeon personally stepped forward to deal with only an E-class hunter. Once I started doubting, the doubt continued endlessly.

“who are you?”

Rebecca asked first before Sihyeon moved.

He said as if he was shocked.

“Don’t you know better? You know me so well that you even came to my house.”

“You know, Lee Si-hyeon. You’re a low-level prison guard and an E-level hunter? But you know I’m not asking this. Who’s behind you? Who’s behind you?”
