A new presence was felt beyond the cave.
Soon, a strong magical energy was felt and small footsteps were heard.
An ominous aura. I quietly looked beyond the cave.
And soon a beautiful woman embodying black magic appeared.
“Who are you? How can a human be here?”
The woman who discovered my face stopped talking.
Her two eyes trembled greatly, and she realized
The magic that had been there lost its form and scattered.
“… … All, you?”
I released the magic that bound Mine.
As his strength left him, Mine slumped down and gasped for breath.
… … It wasn’t even that hard, but it was still painful.
I turned my gaze back to the woman.
Trembling pupils.
Han Se-yeon and Elin too
The second reaction is the same.
I looked at her like that and said.
“It’s been a while, Seonhwa.”
“That’s what happened. So the succession to the throne… …
Inside the hideout.
Seonhwa, who heard my story in a private space, reacted with surprise.
“I am truly glad to see you back like this, Your Majesty.”
It’s been a while since I’ve been called ‘King’, so I feel a little awkward.
“Oh, right. I heard you moved your hideout?”
“We moved to an island near the Moon Island where the King’s succession ceremony took place. The move took place a year ago and is almost complete. By the way, I stayed to do the finishing touches.”
“How did you end up immigrating?”
Seonhwa kept her mouth shut for a moment at my question.
It was.
“Last year, there was an outside intrusion into the hideout.”
“… … An invasion from outside?”
I was a little surprised by the unexpected words.
There was an outside intrusion.
Mine’s hideout will not be easy to find because of Mine’s ancient concealment barrier.
“… … So the barrier had changed? Who intruded?”
Seonhwa kept her mouth shut in response to my question.
And then he opened his mouth carefully.
“This is Kim Chang-hyun.”
For a moment I doubted my ears.
“Kim Chang-hyun?”
Why Kim Chang-hyun?
When I made a puzzled expression, Seonhwa let out a pained sigh and spoke as if reminiscing.
“It was just past midnight in March last year. The barrier to the hideout collapsed in an instant, and Kim Chang-hyun intruded inside.”
Kim Chang-hyun has been quietly in the shadows until now.
He was active.
Quietly, without meeting anyone.
Seonhwa nodded and continued speaking.
“At that time, he was alone. It was me, Haryeong, and the elders of the clan, so I was confident that we could stop him easily.”
As Seonhwa said, Haryeong, Seonhwa, and the elders of the mine society are S-rank mines with great power.
Of course, there is a difference in rank even among S-class, but their power is clear.
Belonged to the strong side.
Even if Kim Chang-hyun is hiding his strength, the normal flow is that he is not enough to deal with all of them.
“But we lost. Even though we all worked together, we weren’t enough to deal with him. To be honest, we lost miserably.”
“Kim Chang-hyun was that strong?”
Come to think of it, every time I met Kim Chang-hyun, I felt like the gap was quite large.
But the me back then and the me now are different.
As time went by, I thought I had become strong enough to feel confident.
… … Has Kim Chang-hyun not even revealed his true colors yet?
“What happened after that?”
“After that… …
Seonhwa looked at me with blurry eyes as if recalling the past.
“The relic, the ‘Spirit’s Signal Flare’, was stolen and disappeared.”
The signal of the soul.
I visited Mine’s treasure trove
So I knew what kind of effect the relic had.
It was a mystery that allowed one to convey ‘one’s message’ to a designated spirit or someone living.
Of course, there is a price to pay for using it.
The price tag increases with distance, possibly requiring you to put up part of your life as collateral.
This is an artifact that has not received much attention since it can only convey messages.

“… … Where are you going to use it?
ji?”
Is he trying to convey a message to Jincheonwoo, who has become a spirit?
Or maybe there is a message to be delivered to the ‘person’ that Kim Chang-hyun was talking about?
“There were no deaths?”
“Yes. The elder and the servant were badly injured, but they quickly recovered thanks to their regenerative abilities.”
“That’s fortunate.”
I exhaled softly.
As long as I have the ‘power of the king’, Mine will be on my side.
Although they have declined significantly after going through several incidents, their power cannot be ignored.
It was fortunate for me that Haryeong’s life was not in great danger.
“Was there anything else unusual about the guy?”
Seonhwa thought about my question for a moment and then said.
“There was something unique about Kim Chang-hyun’s abilities.”
“What’s unusual?”
“I used the abilities of a small clan.”
“A minority?”
Kim Chang-hyun is a survivor of the minority clan, the ‘Yuseong Clan’.
So it’s not strange that he uses the abilities of a minority clan.
But did the Yoo Seong clan have unique abilities?
From what I’ve heard, the Meteor Clan is known to have the ability to draw out the potential of ‘mystery’.
“What ability did you use?”
“… …Rune Binding. In addition, I used other minor clan abilities such as the Golden Barrier.”
“what’?”
I was very taken aback by the unexpected words.
Kim Chang-hyun used the abilities of other minority clans?
Since then I have heard many stories from her.
Things that happened to Mine last time.
And the various facts they learned while chasing Kim Chang-hyun on my behalf.
“The corpse of the disastrous demon that was discovered in Russia was also one that Kim Chang-hyun defeated.”
“That is what I observed through the mystery.”
The mystery surrounding the corpse of a disastrous demon that was in the data that Han Se-yeon gave me has been resolved.
By the way, you defeated a disastrous demon all by yourself.
Was it that strong?
Seonhwa glanced at me and handed me the hologram player.
“This is a video that was accidentally filmed by a subordinate who was tracking Kim Chang-hyun’s traces through Shinbi.”
When I turned on the video, Kim Chang-hyun’s image came to mind.
Kim Chang-hyun fights alone against a giant white lizard in a wide plain.
As Seonhwa said, Kim Chang-hyun was using the magic of a small clan and competing with the disastrous demons.
The Binding of Runes. And the Golden Barrier.
Besides that, the guy used a variety of magic spells in succession that I had never seen before.
But the opponent is a disastrous demon.
As time passed, Kim Chang-hyun also began to stand and be pushed around.
In this unfavorable situation, I wondered what tricks Kim Chang-hyun used to successfully subdue the disastrous demon.
If you’re lucky, this could be a chance to check out the guy’s ‘ultimate ability’ in advance.
Because.
At that moment, Kim Chang-hyeon’s body was about to be pushed back by the catastrophic demon’s tantrum.
Something strange happened.
Yo..2”
The movement of the wind began to change around Kim Chang-hyun.
The blue mana that started from his body spread out in waves, and the white lizard reacted as if he was bewildered.
Sudden change.
Something that happened without any warning
So I couldn’t help but have strong doubts.
and.
From then on, Kim Chang-hyun’s one-sided offensive continued.
With a magical power that was incomparable to before, he began to pour out magic so powerful that there was no end in sight.
Binding magic, various sealing techniques, and even manifestation magic with strong magical powers… … .
As time passed, numerous holes appeared in the demon’s body.
The victory has passed and I have already exhausted my strength
Masu said something to Kim Chang-hyun and then collapsed.
Kim Chang-hyun took a deep breath, approached Masu, and pulled out his heart.
That’s how the video ended.
“……under.”
I let out a small laugh.
Kim Chang-hyun suddenly becomes stronger.
Other people might not have noticed the source of that strength, but I could tell right away.
“… … This is really unbelievable.”
I am visible at the top of the holographic image
looked at the brightly shining full moon.
The reason why Kim Chang-hyun became stronger so quickly.
The guy was using the ability of the ‘Moon Clan’ called [Moon’s Gahhi].
… … That’s my special move.
After finishing talking with Seonhwa about the past two years, I exchanged contact information with her and then we parted ways.
She left to deliver my news to Haryeong, who had become the temporary leader of the mine society, and promised to come back to see me again soon.
After that, I went to the multinational gate base owned by Hansung Group to meet Elin, who had left for Japan on my orders.
When leaving the country, it is common to use the international immigration gate, but if you obtain special qualifications, it is possible to travel without going through the immigration gate.
It can be said to be a similar concept to a private jet.
I showed the staff the gold-framed card that was the ‘Hansungga symbol’.
“Confirmed. Which gate would you like to go to?”
“I’m going to Gifu Prefecture, Japan.”
“all right.”
Flash!
So I passed through the gate and arrived in Japan. The scenery changed in an instant.
I looked around slowly.
A mountain full of life and the breath of spring.
I remember being here before, so the scenery looked familiar.
Right then.
“Kim Seon-woo.”
I heard a familiar voice calling me.
Turn your head in the direction of the voice
I saw Elin approaching me along the trail.
and….
Next to him, Soonsin and Ren were looking at me with wary eyes.
“Did you do what you were asked to do?”
At my question, Ellen glanced at me and nodded.
“Oh. I got the thing you mentioned. And..
Elin glanced at Len, who was standing behind her.
“I brought Lendo too.”
There were two things I asked Ellen to do.
One is to bid on a certain ‘item’ that was put up for auction in Japan this week.
And another one was to bring her acquaintance, Len.
Len looked at me and said.
“… … I heard all about your story from Elin. You’ve had some amazing experiences over the past two years.”
Len didn’t call me ‘private tutor’ like before.
Well, I guess it’s a natural situation since you heard my story from Elin.
Maybe it’s because of that, but the look in his eyes towards me is not very kind.
“Well, that’s right.”
“So, why did you come to me?”
“It’s nothing. I just wanted to apologize for what happened in the past.”
“… … An apology? Are you saying this now?”
Ren frowned, showing a more intense reaction than expected.
Compared to Elin, the period of fraud is short
Arthur(?) I thought he wouldn’t harbor any ill feelings toward me, but it seems he had that in mind longer than I expected.
I scratched my head.
“I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but I didn’t mean to fool you.”
“… … I called you, who is much younger than me, my private tutor.”
You just called it that.
..I held back those words inside.
Anyway, Ren is a ‘good character’ who has his own significance in the original work.
He was one of the star magicians with outstanding skills who was previously a member of a special task force and possessed a strong sense of justice.
That means I still have a lot to learn from the guy.
Ah, this might seem a little mean.
To put it a little more bluntly, I want to add that guy to my team after Elin.
“I didn’t mean to. I was quite taken aback when you suddenly called me private tutor.”
“……joy.”
The guard is tighter than I thought.
Look at this guy. He’s really screwed up.
And a style with such strong pride cannot be easily explained with just a few words.
… … Since it has come to this, I have no choice but to use ‘that’ again.
I took a short breath and activated my ability.
