Episode 429
“Hmm, that’s quite provocative.”
The huge Rothschild residence.
Naturally, Jinhyuk was the first to notice something strange in the place where most of its original appearance had been restored over the past few days.
Jinhyuk sensed the rough vibrations starting from tens of kilometers away and felt a giant arrow approaching in an instant.
Kwach!
-It’s an attack!
-Eww! How did you recover the defensive magic circle!
-Damn it! I have to work overtime today!
The screams of the duty officers echoed as the unfinished defensive magic circle that had been re-established near the iron gate located hundreds of meters away shattered once again, but Jinhyuk paid no attention to it.
‘It’s a weaker magic circle than the one I broke anyway. The important thing is who sent it… … I guess I’ll block it first and then think about it.’
The Rothschild residence is where Jinhyeok and others currently reside.
There was absolutely no reason to destroy this place, so Jinhyuk waved his hand lightly from where he was sitting.
Puhwaaaaah!
With a single wave of his hand, a wave of spiritual power burst forth, sweeping past everything in its path and enveloping the entire palace in a purple curtain.
And at that very moment-
Kwaaaaang!
The purple curtain of spiritual power that Jinhyuk had created shook violently with a tremendous roar.
Swish! Swish!
“… … This is annoying.”
Minor leaks starting from the sacrum.
Jinhyuk felt it growing bigger little by little and made a gesture with a displeased face, quickly filling the leak.
There were no second or third attacks, but it was natural since the incontinence itself was unpleasant to Jinhyuk.
Even though it was a barrier made as a basic means of defense, it was natural for Jinhyeok to be angry since he had damaged something he had created.
But that was only for a moment.
-Something rose in the sky!
-Call the master!
Jinhyuk smiled coolly and got up from his seat at the commotion he heard outside.
“It looks like they sent an invitation, so let’s go and take a look.”
Since he had a rough idea of who his opponent was, Jinhyuk’s movements outside where the commotion began were incredibly quick.
And it goes without saying that Jinhyeok’s face distorted like a demon’s when he saw the invitation from his opponent. * * *
[Cha Jin-hyeok, we will take your subordinate. If you want to save him, come to the center of the Grand Canyon alone.]
“… … Palace, this son of a bitch.”
Letters written in flames floating right in front of the Rothschild residence.
Jinhyuk, who knew it was the effect of a magic arrow, immediately identified his opponent.
Palace, Jerominon.
There was no other monster on Earth that could snipe from dozens of kilometers away.
So Jinhyuk frowned and said, having roughly expected it but not expecting the contents of the invitation.
“Who is not currently in the mansion?”
“Mr. Dennis and Mr. Dongwan are not here.”
“… … That dog guy is important to the US side, so I don’t think that arrow-wielding guy will go after him. So, is that Dongwan guy the only one left?”
“… … Could it be that they are Dongwan?”
“It’s also true that there’s no one else to kidnap except that guy.”
“They seem like bad people. Not even the direct targets, but the people around them… …!”
The eyes of the lower class who learned the detailed inside story burned brightly.
It was because the palace and the Four Emperors, who had annihilated the entire village while targeting him, overlapped.
Hye-rin also chimed in, as if sympathizing with the anger of the lower class.
“You guys have no conscience. The Grand Canyon? I don’t know where that is, but let’s go there quickly. If my weak friend gets hurt… … I think I’ll get really angry.”
“I’ll go to Tamdo! Dongwani Ajo-ssi, Tam will save you!”
“… … That old man is kind. He even bought Miho some sushi. So I’m sure he’ll help Miho too.”
Not only Bidan Haru and Hye-rin, but also Tam and Mi-ho, who became close to Dong-wan, also erupted in flames of passionate anger –
“I’m going alone.”
“… …Why!”
“Why? Are we not enough?”
They let out sighs filled with regret at Jinhyeok’s choice to stand alone.
But they could no longer refute Jinhyeok’s words.
“Didn’t you tell me to come alone? If I go to Ururu and Dongwan dies… … It would be such a shame, wouldn’t it?”
“You can just bring him back to life! With the power of my brother and the power of Alchemy’s homunculus… … .”
“If I die, that’s the end. They probably know about my abilities. There must be at least some way to destroy the soul. And… … wouldn’t a living body be better than a soul soldier and a homunculus body?”
“… … .”
So true.
Those who have not died do not have a great understanding of death.
Even Jinhyuk, who had died once, had never used a soul bottle or a homunculus body.
And it was only natural that it would be better to live as one’s original body rather than as a soul soldier or a homucullus body.
“First of all, they are my targets. I can’t share what’s mine with you.”
“Hoo… … . Please don’t get hurt.”
“Yes, Dongwan is important too… … but you are all we have. I think it’s wrong to say that people have different values… … but at least it doesn’t apply to you. So please don’t get hurt.”
“of course.”

Countless worries about oneself.
Jinhyuk smiled brightly, feeling his heart warm at the thought of things he had never experienced in his past life, but soon his face hardened and he began to prepare to leave.
Because if you go into a trap knowing it’s a trap, it can no longer be called a trap. * * *
Alchemy and Tune appeared in front of Jinhyuk, who had only been preparing for a few minutes.
They also heard the commotion and went to see Jinhyeok to hear the details, and they were furious.
“Eww! I knew Nine Stars were bad, but I didn’t know they’d attack innocent people!”
“Where will the dirty seeds go? It is something that the lord has already decided, so I cannot help you… … But I will still cheer you on. My faith will never waver.”
Jinhyuk smiled contentedly at Alchemy, who was as angry as fire, and Tune, who was calm but spewed out icy anger. He returned their cheer by patting their shoulders.
“I will shatter their bodies and tear their souls apart.”
“Uh… … Well, I didn’t really hope for that… … .”
“As expected, you are my lord.”
Jinhyeok was about to leave his seat when he saw Tune nodding and smiling brightly as if it was only natural, unlike Alchemy who was clicking her tongue with a bashful face.
“Oh, right. Just in case, take this.”
“… … What is this?”
An object that looks like a crystal or quartz stone about the size of a fist.
However, unlike its rough appearance, the power contained within it was very familiar and heavy, so when Jinhyeok asked, Alchemy proudly explained it with an “ahem” cough.
“You can think of it as a prototype of the original Philosopher’s Stone!”
“I took some of the energy my lord gave me and mixed it with my spiritual power. I think I will have to mix in my lord’s spiritual power when I create the original.”
“Um… … . Take care.”
A prototype of the original Philosopher’s Stone.
It was a bit of a long story, but it was worth it.
After Alchemy took over the throne.
Jinhyuk immediately split his energy and gave it to her.
Dragon power, might, magic, divine power.
These four energies are each worth 100 each.
A prototype that was born while trying to make a finished product by using them little by little.
Its value cannot even be converted into money.
“But it’s disposable. Since it’s an imperfect item, there’s nothing we can do about its consumable nature.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Unfortunately, it was something we made by luck… … .”
“There’s nothing I can do. I can’t ask for something that doesn’t exist.”
However, the only regret was that it was a disposable consumable and that it was a lucky item so there was a high chance that it would never be made again, but it was impossible for Jinhyuk to make the impossible possible.
At least, since the knowledge of alchemy is clearly lacking compared to that of alchemy, it is even more so.
Still, Jinhyuk did not forget to listen to the explanation about the item he received.
“What about the effect? Can you tell me about that?”
It was obvious to him that the item he was to use was dangerous and unconventional, but what was important was his actual ability to use it.
And Alchemy simply dismissed Jinhyeok’s question with one word.
“Think of it as a disposable original of the Philosopher’s Stone.”
“What does that mean?”
“Using it will make the impossible possible. At least while the effect lasts.”
“… … It’s absolutely perfect.”
Make humans into gods.
An object that can transform stones into anything in the world.
Jinhyuk, who couldn’t hide his satisfaction at the thought that he could use it, even if only for a single use, left the Rothschild residence.
Now it was time to walk into the trap. * * *
The Grand Canyon, located in Arizona, USA, was formed naturally, but it is a place that many tourists visit due to its size and beauty.
Frequent dungeon breaks have made the area overrun with monsters a nuisance.
They tried to sweep them away with firearms, but the monsters did not come out of the Grand Canyon, and the United States did not try to destroy the Grand Canyon to deal with them.
And then, right there in the Grand Canyon, a figure appeared.
“It’s so dirty.”
This is only because it is Arizona, which is the state next door or the state next to it. If the thief and the courtier had gone to the other side of the United States, Jinhyeok would have had to go through the trouble of using portals located within the United States.
Fortunately(?), Jinhyuk only had to move a distance of about a week or two, and he moved as fast as a fighter jet and reached the entrance of the Grand Canyon.
Tadak-
As soon as Jinhyuk unified his agility and sat down, what he saw was an incredibly large number of monsters.
“Relax… … How childish.”
A situation where a huge number of monsters that fill the Grand Canyon have gathered all the way to the entrance and are waiting for you.
Even though it was a strange situation, Jinhyuk calmly relaxed and his eyes sparkled.
“This amount of exercise is a small price to pay for seeing old friends for the first time in a long time.”
Of course, it was natural that they would have to give up their lives in exchange for seeing him.
Jinhyuk, who had finished preparing like that, looked down at his throbbing body and smiled faintly as he opened his mouth.
thud!
“One Won (一元) – Magic (魔氣) – Demonization (惡魔化).”
A massive amount of magical energy burst out at the same time as the clouds hit his feet, enveloping Jinhyeok.
Jinhyuk’s appearance, which was finally revealed, was like a demon made of black magic.
An attitude that seems like there’s no need to go all the way to Honwon when dealing with the enormous number of monsters that have piled up over a long period of time, numbering in the hundreds of millions or tens of millions.
At the same time, Jinhyeok opened his eyes that had been closed and kicked his seat with his dark purple eyes shining even darker due to the magic.
“Go all out. Use every trick you can. That way, your death will be even more brutal.”
In the heart of the Grand Canyon.
He roughly advanced forward towards the being that was waiting for him there.
Puhwaaaaah!
It was also the moment when the waves of magic that surged with every step Jinhyuk took turned the Grand Canyon black.
