Independent State (3)
I didn’t like Kalm.
‘The demon Gremory, leading the 22nd Legion, invades Atlas two years later?’
It’s something that makes my teeth chatter just hearing it.
The Demon Gremory is strong on its own, but each and every one of the 22nd Legion Commanders are legendary human beings.
‘Even if we gain the power of Atlas, history will repeat itself.’
That’s why I wanted to turn back into dirt.
Because it’s better to give up than to cling to fleeting hopes.
I definitely wanted to go back because turning to dust was a hundred or a thousand times better than facing the demon Gremory.
‘Kalm, do you know what to do?’
Since Bon and Kalm had been together for a long time, they knew what to do just by looking at each other.
This is the condition under which Kalm designates the person he will fight.
‘You just have to look like X-rice.’
They are lords who are trying to hold on to themselves somehow.
Another mere human says that he is prepared for the demon invasion in two years.
I want to point out the most X-like person in this realm and make them realize their arrogance and face reality.
And you don’t necessarily have to have bad feelings towards Yeongju Hyeon-su.
‘Feel, feel… … Run away even if you have to abandon Atlas.’
To put it simply, Hyunsoo’s coordinates are basically marked by Gremory.
Although Kalm did not serve him, it would be bitter for him, the current lord of Atlas, and the Atlas he had created to fall.
So I rolled my eyes.
‘Who is qualified?’
A suitable candidate has entered Kalm’s eyes.
A white Sigorjabjong running with all its might and a human being being dragged along by it.
“Bokdeung-ah, slow down… … .”
It’s to the point where it looks like a paper human.
A grown man being dragged around by a young puppy?
Also, his appearance is very thin and his clothes are shabby and unremarkable.
Of course, Kalm is a person who has been through a lot, so he doesn’t judge based on appearance alone.
Those with the level of skill of Kalm could gauge the unique magical power they possessed.
‘I can’t feel it.’
But if you can’t detect it, you could literally be considered ordinary or worse than ordinary.
The corners of Kalm’s mouth twitch like crazy.
He raised his finger and pointed at him.
“I’m going to fight that guy walking his dog over there.”
The man walking his dog, Cabel, tilted his head.
Why I don’t feel any energy from him.
This is because, as he was born as an assassin class, he has a passive skill called ‘Secret Assassin’.
He was also the highest level stealth assassin among the users.
“Cabel, come here for a moment… … .”
Before Hyunsoo could finish speaking, Kabel was already coming.
“What the heck, what the heck!”
It’s because of Bokdeungi who is running wild to get to Hyunsu.
Cabel, who had come closer, spoke in a serious voice.
“Bokdeungi’s poop is thinner than usual.”
“… … .”
Kalm was very embarrassed to see him.
The man named Cabel was very serious and profound.
The appearance of bringing one’s hand to one’s chin.
“A dog’s stool can also indicate its health. I only feed it good food every day, so I don’t understand why it suddenly has loose stools.”
“Is it because I gave you a snack yesterday?”
“… … Didn’t I tell you not to give away just anything? If you’re going to give away something, do your research before giving it away. I mean, check the ingredients list carefully and give something that doesn’t have preservatives or additives.”
Puhahahahaha!
Kalm, Bon, and the Black Wind Troopers behind him almost burst out laughing while holding their stomachs.
How can a fully grown man tremble like that over a dog?
The Black Wind Squad are Atlas’ elite who have undergone rigorous training.
Those levels can be said to be at least on par with the Bloodthirsty.
So, looking at Cable, I think this.
‘Lord Kalm has pointed out the right person!’
Hyunsoo explained the whole story.
“No, it’s time for Bokdeungi to go for a walk. I have to put him down for a nap right after this.”
When Kalm heard that, he almost laughed hysterically.
“What’s so important about that little X kid? His mental state is rotten. How could he have lived such a carefree life?”
Cavell has not lived an easy life.
In fact, Cabel never stops training himself.
He may also be one of the users who trains more intensely than anyone else.
“That little X-s*ut, one bite from me and it’ll be over.”
‘Hey, you crazy kid!’

Hyunsoo was embarrassed.
Some people say that people who cherish their companion dogs and their owners like their own lives are polar opposites.
However, to them, dogs and cats become family members who heal their wounds and soothe their loneliness.
Hyunsoo was taken aback by what would happen as a result of that statement, but soon rolled his eyes.
‘I’m so pissed too?’
When I think about it, I feel pissed off too.
Era, I didn’t know.
And it happened just as Hyunsoo expected.
“… … .”
Cavell, who had been silent, looked down at Bokdeungi for a moment.
“Maaang… … .”
The lucky girl sitting on the swing shows her intention to wait.
Cavell said nothing.
That’s why it could be said to be even scarier.
Because Asura’s death is silent.
In addition, Kalm laughed heartily at the thought that he had succeeded in provoking her and planned to deal with her as quickly as possible.
As Cavell takes a few steps forward, a black wind energy swirls around Kalm’s body.
Goooooo-
Kalm, the master of the quick sword.
The speed of his sword is unmatched by anyone in Atlas except Commander Bourne.
His quick sword moves like light.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
The quick sword that reached in an instant aims for Cavell’s neck.
At that moment.
Phew-
“… … ?”
Kalm felt dizzy.
It’s a quick sword and a sharp blade.
A dagger was pulled out at a speed that made it impossible for him to even react, piercing right between his eyebrows, and the skill was activated.
[Extinction]
[Hit a single target with 100% chance at 750% additional damage.]
[HP drops below 3%.]
Kalm, who barely survived, fell.
And, contrary to Hyun-soo’s thoughts, Cabel was a more rational and cautious person.
He just looks at Kalm with a gaze like he is looking at an insect.
“… … .”
Kalm was speechless and the most shocked was Bourne.
‘One second… …?’
Yeah, it’s just one second.
In one second, Kalm was on the verge of death.
What’s shocking is that he was just an ordinary pedestrian walking down the street.
Bon couldn’t believe the current situation.
‘Even some legends wouldn’t be able to neutralize Kalm in such a short time… … .’
Of course.
Assassins have weak defense, but their single attack deals twice as much damage as a normal attack.
Also, since the skills are tailored to it, there are many forces similar to instant death that are deployed.
“Is it okay now?”
Bon denied Hyun-soo’s question.
“Did you hide it on purpose?”
“… … ?”
Hyunsoo tilted his head. To be honest, he didn’t hide it on purpose.
As it happened, Cable was passing by, and Hyunsoo was inspired by him and made a suggestion.
“Do it one more time.”
“Why should I do that?”
“Because I didn’t swear.”
Like a child throwing a tantrum.
He also realized that he was being unreasonable.
That’s why I’m saying this to ruin it.
“Information on Atlas. If you win this time, I’ll tell you one thing.”
There are many hidden things in the Atlas.
Also, what Hyunsoo knows is only the tip of the iceberg.
Hyunsoo also wondered what kind of talented people were sleeping here.
“I approve.”
Show your keen eye.
There was someone who came with him when he came to see Bon.
‘It would be perfect if I chose him… … .’
Bon put forward another one.
“Basam, forward.”
Although not as good as Kalm, Basam is also a great knight.
[Black Wind Agent Basam Lv.445]
He can be said to be a tank with unusually high defense and health compared to other players.
Basam became cautious.
‘That dog walking guy passing by is so strong. Who should I choose? By any chance…?’
He looked at Nell.
Could it be that the woman is not very weak?
no.
I’ve been hit once, will I get hit twice?
Rather, someone who looks quite decent but is not might be weak.
‘No, let’s give up the idea of picking on the weak. At least a knight I can fight and win against.’
Then his gaze was focused on one place.
“I will point out the author.”
The man at the place he pointed out.
Hyunsoo felt like doing the hip dance while looking at him.
‘Wow, you guys are really unlucky.’
The man was currently engrossed in something.
***
Luxiu was imprisoned in Gremory for a long time.
In it he felt many desires, but the greatest one was appetite.
You can’t say it was unexpected.
I got enough sleep, and the torture was quite bearable, but Gremory’s prison.
That is, Luxiu survived for more than several decades on the food eaten by the demons.
It’s the rotten intestines of a centenarian.
Old pig intestines or blood.
It was like the rotten antlers of a dead deer.
If I had been used to that kind of thing from the beginning, I wouldn’t know.
For Luxiu, who was accustomed to human food, it was hell.
So I thought about this.
‘When I go out, I want to eat human food.’
What Luxiu did as soon as he arrived at the Atlas Territory.
It was about eating chicken breast.
To begin with, Luxiu was a person who was meticulous about taking care of his body in the past.
After eating fox entrails and such for decades, when I put chicken breast in my mouth, I heard a heavenly harmony.
The previously dry taste felt soft and moist.
The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes.
So.
Crunch crunch-
Ugh ugh ugh
Well well-
He kept eating it while following Hyunsoo.
It’s just chicken breast boiled in boiling water, without even seasoning it.
But as soon as he put it in his mouth, Luxiu’s eyes turned red.
Also, Luxiu’s appearance was still that of a beggar.
Luxiu was standing close to Hyunsu, eating chicken breast.
Basam pointed to him.
reason?
‘… … There’s no way chicken breast can taste good, that guy is clearly crazy.’
Black Wind Corps is a group that is very strict about taking care of their bodies.
Just looking at chicken breast makes me feel like vomiting.
But how can you eat that so happily?
Also, the sight of them eating as if they had not seen food in decades was enough to make one feel that something was lacking.
One, the pointed Luxiu said.
“it’s bothering.”
“… … ?”
It was simple and clear, Bassam thought.
‘Oh, you look like you don’t listen.’
Again, Basam was convinced that it was because he was afraid.
Instead, it was Hyunsoo who became impatient.
‘Oh, let me help you just this once.’
Of course, this happened because I hadn’t yet won Luxiu’s heart.
In reality, he became a person belonging to the territory, but it is difficult to clearly state that he was Hyeon-su’s vassal.
On the other hand, if the battle is settled in this way, it will have a negative effect on Hyun-soo.
Hyunsoo shook his head.
If another plan goes awry, you’ll have to find a new direction.
But before we could find that direction, Bassam said.
“Are you scared?”
“… … ?”
Hyunsoo was embarrassed.
Luxiu, who was tearing at the chicken breast, tasting it, and enjoying it, stopped.
Who is Luxiu?
He is the one who killed 52 level 450 commanders and the commander-in-chief of the 480th division in response to Hyun-soo’s question, “Are you kidding me?”
‘Hey kids, why do you dig a grave with a shovel, then open the coffin lid, go in yourself, and close the door? … .’
Luxiu didn’t make any big gestures.
Pull out the dagger from your waist.
Ssuk-
Throw it.
Phew-
It just hit the spot right between the eyebrows.
[Wind’s HP drops below 10%.]
I just kept eating chicken breast, watching the wind blowing past.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
But you know what?
Overwhelming someone without making any grand gestures.
There was nothing as scary as that.
The Black Wind members held their breath.
And this overwhelming strength is trying to tell Hyun-soo an unexpected truth.
Bon looks at him in confusion and takes a step back.
“… …Why are you here?”
Bon couldn’t understand why he was there.
Yes, the two people were people who lived in the same era.
Those few words from Bon shocked not only Heukpungdae and Nell, but even Hyunsoo.
“You who walk the path of the tyrant, Luxiu. Why are you here?”
