“Yes, I know.”
I opened the small box he had thrown.
There was a black bead inside, which looked more like a piece of jewelry than a medicine.
My face was reflected on the transparent surface.
═══════════════
[Name] Undok (言毒)
[Grade] Yongsam-pum (Dragon Third Grade)
[Description] After consuming, a penalty is triggered if you say or hear a specific sentence.
═══════════════
It was my first time seeing it in person.
There was a piece of paper laid out under the ship, and when I unfolded it, it seemed to be a proclamation.
It was a fairly complex sentence, so I didn’t think I or anyone else would make a mistake.
After activating the flame torch and burning the paper, he picked up the book and asked Hyun-i a question as if spitting it out.
“Aren’t you worried?”
“What do you mean?”
“I might activate it as soon as you eat it.”
If I eat Undok as he said, my lifeline will be held by Lee Hyeon.
This place could kill me on the spot.
Lee Hyeon, who showed hostility towards me as soon as he saw me and tried to distance me from the teacher.
If they decide I’m a threat, they’ll kill me right away.
So I chose Lee Hyeon.
“Lee Hyun Man-shin won’t kill me right away. I’m useful. If I destroy the Protectorate, won’t you be safe too?”
“… … What an unlucky guy.”
Lee Hyun responded with a short curse.
As of now, the Protectorate is more dangerous than me, so they can’t kill me.
As I swallowed the undog, I felt it seeping into my body without any taste or pain.
Ironically, drinking the poison actually made me feel a little better.
It’s comforting to know that I could die at any time.
Lee Hyun glared at me as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.
“… … You don’t have any cute taste. I’ll go when I’m done.”
Now that he’s out of the room, I’m truly alone.
Now that I had eaten the Undogdo, I had to head to the crack.
Since there was no need to see him off, I closed my eyes right away.
As I exhaled slowly, darkness fell over my closed eyes.
[The coordinates of the crack have been confirmed.]
[Move to the crack.]
As I recalled the phrase engraved on my hand, the surrounding light began to slowly dim as if my body was sinking into the deep sea.
Darkness that covers darkness.
At that moment, a bell sounded through the endless darkness.
-Jangle, jangle… … .
This sound sounds familiar.
It was the sound of the bells being rung by the pallbearers.
I opened my eyes and looked around, but I couldn’t see any pallbearers or hearses around.
Instead, I was falling into darkness.
It seemed like a cave by the looks of it, but it was hard to be sure.
As my body was falling rapidly, I finally began to see below.
[The ability ‘Thieving Rat’ is activated!]
[Use the wings of the Demonic ‘Blade Bat’!]
Just in case, I spread my wings and prepared for the fall.
As I slowly descended, I was able to see the scenery around me.
The crack had a strange shape.
The cracks were infinitely wide and had shapes that were contrary to the rules of reality.
Giant boulders were floating in the air, and in some places they were bent as if gravity was being reversed.
It seemed like a world that was all messed up.
Also, small mountains were visible all around, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that they were not mountains but corpses.
Burnt black corpses were tangled together to form a hill, and the bodily fluids flowing from there formed a river.
A literal landscape of Sisanhyeolhae.
All around, the stench was so bad that it was so toxic that my nose was already numb and my eyes were stinging.
I flew slowly and landed down.
The view from below was even more horrifying.
At first glance, the corpse looked like a black mountain because its body was dyed black.
Is this a crack?
The heat and stench were palpable everywhere.
The corpses won’t harm me, but that’s what the nameless one said.
He said he had hidden the sword safely away.
Safe meant that sword-wielding intruders could be ruled out.
-Kaga River!

As soon as I set foot on the ground, attacks came flying in from all directions.
There are six directions and various types.
As the arrow split in half, a magical force sharpened like a sword passed by my cheek.
-Whoa!
We destroyed the attacks and confirmed the direction and appearance of the enemies.
What appeared from beyond the mountain of corpses looked like a person.
Meanwhile, a man with a sword had come up to my nose.
-Kang, Kang!
When I parried the attack, the opponent seemed a little surprised, but his attacks did not become dull.
The speed was quite fast, and the swordsmanship was high-level as he flew in targeting only my vital points.
I deflected the sword he was swinging and took a closer look.
When I checked his fortune, he was a person with the ability of Yongsam-pum, but it was difficult to be certain whether he was truly human.
But still, I couldn’t just kill him without permission.
-Snap!
“Ugh… … !”
After dodging the sword swing from his opponent, he was struck in the neck with his fist, causing him to fall down with a short groan.
He’s not dead, but he won’t be able to wake up for a while.
There are five people left.
When my comrade fell, instead of attacking me, they kept their distance from me and entered a standoff.
It seemed like he was taking advantage of my weaknesses rather than caring about his colleagues.
“I have no desire to fight with you.”
They were showing me intense murderous intent, but I had no intention of killing them.
They are just guarding the sword.
There was nothing I could gain by killing those people, and I had no intention of bearing the karmic retribution for killing them.
“I am sent by the first master, Anonymous. I came here only to find the hidden sword.”
I could see them flinching when they heard me speak.
But that didn’t mean I let my guard down.
On the contrary, his expression became even more murderous when he heard the words nameless and sword.
-Kagakak!
A magic bullet passed right by my head.
As if that were a signal, the attack began again.
It seemed like it wouldn’t be solved with words, and in some ways that was a good thing.
If they were people who would back down with just one word, Myeong would not have kept the sword here.
In the end, it seemed like there was no choice but to subdue them by force.
I used acceleration to approach the sorcerers who were continuously firing their magic.
-Crack!
My fists were faster than they could activate their abilities.
Someone tried to use a protective spell in a hurry, but was hit in the forehead one by one and ended up fainting.
At that moment, a long trumpet sound was heard from somewhere.
-Phew!
It seemed like they were trying to call more people.
It was difficult.
I didn’t want to waste time in a place like this.
There must have been colleagues nearby, as dozens of them quickly appeared.
In an instant, people came rushing in like a storm.
There was no time to take them down one by one.
I shouted, activating my power.
“Everyone, kneel before me!”
[The ability ‘Suppression Order’ is activated!]
-Koosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, many of them collapsed on the floor.
They looked puzzled by the fact that their bodies were not moving.
There were some who tried to get up by twisting their bodies, but they had difficulty getting up.
I wanted to continue the conversation like this, but this was enemy territory, and there were people who didn’t respond to the suppression order.
-Quaqua light!
At that moment, someone jumped out from among the people kneeling on the floor and a huge axe flew towards me.
It was a human swinging an axe bigger than his body.
Before I could even have a chance to talk, the opponent continued his attack.
-Bam, bang!
The attacks were merciless, and it seemed like a single brush would easily tear a person apart.
The speed was also fast compared to the type of weapon, but it was not enough for me.
I quickly approached and cut off the top of the axe handle.
-Crunch!
The flying part fell to the floor with a thud.
Now, what the opponent was holding was nothing more than a club.
The opponent looked confused, but soon ran towards me screaming.
[The ability ‘Throwing God’ is activated!]
The magical power flowing out of his body caused his hair to tangle like a beast’s mane.
The opponent started charging at me like a raging bull.
With each step I took, the vibrations felt like an earthquake.
Even so, it seemed too slow to me.
I didn’t want to kill him, so I cut deep into the thigh of the person who was charging at me.
Blood spurted out in an instant.
“Kuaaa… … !”
Blood quickly reached my ankles.
With this level of injury, it seemed as though he would be unable to move, but the opponent rushed in, dragging his bloody leg.
Rather, it seemed to have become more intense than before.
At that moment, my opponent was rushing at me as if he was going to tear me apart.
-Kaga River!
Someone jumped in front of the opponent.
She had a small body and a young back.
The other party seemed to become even more excited when the intruder intervened.
As he began swinging his fists mercilessly, a loud voice rang out.
“Stop right now!”
As soon as he heard that voice, the other person’s body stopped as if it were a lie.
The conversion has been lifted.
The opponent’s face became blank, and then he slumped down in his seat, perhaps because of the pain in his leg.
At the same time, the little boy standing in front of me looked back.
As soon as I saw that face, I felt my mouth dry and my throat tighten.
I knew this person very well.
A strong gaze that did not match her small body, a voice that always chattered at me.
A child who was much smaller and younger than me, but who always tried to protect me.
Yu Harang was standing in front of me.
But it wasn’t the same Yoo Ha-rang I had been talking to yesterday.
The person in front of me now was no longer a child, but rather seemed to have just become an adult.
While I was blankly staring at Yuharang, Yuharang hugged me tightly.
“Seo Kang-rim, is that you? How did you get here… …!”
It felt like the future that had died had returned before my eyes.
Yuharang was touching my face as if she couldn’t believe it, tears welling up in her eyes.
As if trying to confirm that it really exists.
“It doesn’t seem like an illusion… … Then are you dead too?”
When I heard that, I felt like my ducts were being crushed.
Are you dead too?
What that meant was that Yuharang in front of me was not a living being.
Only then was I able to look at Yuharang closely.
Yu Harang, who is now at this age, was the same age as when she was murdered by Baek Young in her past life.
The clothes he was wearing were also the same as the ones he had worn the day Baekyoung came to visit.
“Hey, don’t bother me!”
Then other people came rushing in and glared at Yuharang threateningly.
As you can see, Yuharang and these people didn’t seem to be on good terms.
Yuharang, who had been hugging me, released her arms and glared at them with a sharp gaze.
“Don’t touch him. He is not an intruder.”
“We will decide that. Our duty is to kill anyone who enters here. If you interfere, you… … .”
-Crunch!
As soon as he finished speaking, the heads of those in front of him were cut off.
Several people were turned into corpses before they could even scream.
Yuharang said, glaring at the survivors.
“Don’t touch the interest. If you don’t want to die.”
