Episode 204
My father is a Grade A player in France.
My mother is a grade A magician from China.
Shadow was a mixed race born between them.
Is it because I had two nationalities from birth?
Or is it because the relationship between parents who had different social statuses ended in tragedy?
Abandoned from birth, it was natural for him to go into the shadows.
pickpocket. robbery. murder, etc.
A petty criminal who committed all kinds of crimes and could not even join the mine family.
The turning point in his life came when he awakened the S-rank skill ‘Apostle of Darkness’.
From a petty criminal to a low-level mine.
From low-level mine to intermediate mine.
From intermediate mine to advanced mine.
He gained notoriety by working as a mercenary in numerous countries.
It started with a low-level S-class player.
Lower middle class. Middle class. Upper intermediate level.
A top-tier mine that is rated at the level of an S-class advanced player.
Many players and demons died silently at his hands.
However, the limits were clear.
His growth stopped just before reaching the top.
A high level magician or a top level magician.
It was one thing to have to run away from the national power class that controlled the world.
I felt thirsty.
I want to overcome the wall.
Go over the wall again and again.
‘I want to bring about change in this rotten world.’
Around that time, I met Min Ji-hong, who was wandering alone in the depths of the Abyss.
There was a fierce battle, and a conversation continued.
They got along surprisingly well.
This may be because he was struggling to jump over the wall in a dark place where his growth had stopped.
Or maybe it was because they knew each other was feeling a similar thirst.
‘It eats the sun in the shade.’
The two people who came together secretly formed a faction.
Asia’s largest mine organization triad.
The largest minecraft group in New Korea, a malicious guild.
The organization grew day by day, and by the time their power became influential in Yangji.
Following Min Ji-hong, Shadow has surpassed the national power level.
S-rank top player.
He had gained even more power than that.
“S-rank highest level. “That is not a level that can be reached through simple enlightenment.”
The shadow said with a wry smile.
I was confident because I had walked the path first.
Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyuk, and Kwak Si-yang can be said to be the main forces of the new Korea.
The people I am currently dealing with are on the verge of ‘completely’ jumping over the wall.
Quang.
Kwon Kang-hyuk’s large body, transformed into the ‘Minotaur Queen’, was pushed back by the shadow’s kick.
In that gap, Park Seong-jin’s spiral lacquer paper was swung.
It felt like my body was cut in two with a single knife.
Kyaang.
Before I knew it, the sickle held in the shadow’s hand had smoothly blocked the spiral strike.
Ssssss.
It was when the shadow body was about to disappear again.
“now!!”
Quang.
At the same time as Park Seong-jin shouted, an explosion occurred behind the shadow.
Even though it did not cause fatal injuries, it was powerful enough to stop movement.
Kyaang!!
The shadow blew away Park Seong-jin with a powerful scythe.
This time, Ji Jin-hee dug into the gap.
“Hmm.”
Ji Jin-hee’s body shook as she caught her breath.
New Korean ancient martial arts first form. Taebaek.
Ji Jin-hee’s hand blade hit the shadow’s shoulder.
Kwasik.
It is a shadow that lost focus after beating Park Seong-jin.
The attack was heavier than expected and my shoulder was dislocated.
If it weren’t for the overwhelming stat difference, it wouldn’t have been surprising if his shoulder was torn.
Wow.

The shadow kicked Ji Jin-hee’s abdomen and widened the distance.
“That’s amazing. “I thought all your teeth fell out?”
Wow. Crack.
Shadow said as he adjusted the dislocated shoulder blade.
“Don’t look down on someone just because they’re old. “I can easily subdue you.”
Ji Jin-hee immediately prepares for the next attack.
The shadow laughed at his rant.
I know it’s not a bluff.
This is the confidence of someone who was closer to the national power level than anyone else in the past with just his ‘body strengthening’ skills.
He would be the one to look ‘funny’ and see blood.
“It’s an ancient martial art… “That’s fun.”
“Soon it won’t be fun. “You damn bastard.”
Kwon Kang-hyuk, who transformed into the ‘Tau King’ and reduced his magical power, cursed and huffed.
Ji Jin-hee, who retired, also joined the three members who can be said to be the representative force of New Korea.
And yet, I can’t believe I’m struggling because I couldn’t catch a single horse.
It was strange not to be excited by his personality.
“Calm down your excitement. “Guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk.”
“The order has been granted. “Please don’t disturb me.”
It was when Kwon Kang-hyuk, who had bulged his muscles, was about to run quickly.
Shadow checked the time at the sound of a bell ringing in his arms.
“this. Has it already gone like this?”
Ssssssut.
After dodging Kwon Kang-hyuk’s attack, his body appeared in the space 5 meters behind.
It seems like the battle so far was a joke.
The shadow instantly distanced itself from the four people.
He answered the call on speaker phone.
A man’s voice rang out.
[I think the joke is getting longer?]
“Hehe. I can’t deny it. “Did you receive the gift I sent you?”
[iced coffee. I just got into contact with you. I think Ji Jin-hee is there.]
“okay. New Korean ancient martial arts. “I was in quite a bit of trouble because I used a cumbersome technique.”
[You seem to be in good health. Just come back now.]
“Sure.”
It was when the shadow that was laughing was about to disappear.
Ji Jin-hee, who closed the distance in an instant, swung his fist.
The shadow stretched out its hand to lightly grab it.
Quang.
The shadow’s body was thrown away by the energy released from Ji Jin-hee’s fist.
New Korean ancient martial arts 2nd form. Mountain scenery.
It was a technique that exploded the energy concentrated in the fist.
“this guy!! How long are you going to hide behind me and deceive me?!”
Ji Jin-hee shouted at the shadow that was raising its body.
The target was not the shadow, but Min Ji-hong on the phone.
Min Ji-hong also did not know that fact.
[How are you? father.]
“You don’t deserve to be called that!!”
Ji Jin-hee shouted again.
Because I know.
She realized that the man on the other end of the phone was no longer the adopted son Min Ji-hong she knew and had raised as the future of a new Korea.
[I hear you corrected your voice. Fortunately, the.]
Min Ji-hong said sarcastically.
“Min Ji-hong, the devil of the evil guild!! “Make sure you show up!!”
Ji Jin-hee shouted once again, but Min Ji-hong was still relaxed.
[It is not yet time. Would you like it better than that?]
“Shut up!!”
Ji Jin-hee shouted and approached the shadow.
The remaining three people surrounded the shadows in time with their movements.
Min Ji-hong clicked his tongue at that sight.
[Tsk tsk. Your favorite guild leader Yoo Ah-young. Are you saying it would be okay if I killed her like this?]
For a moment, the entire area became quiet.
“what… ?”
“What the f*ck are you talking about?!!”
“… … .”
Min Ji-hong’s voice became much softer in response to the expected response.
[You can’t beat that friend anyway. I will send it to you this time.]
“… … ?”
[Please bring Taehyun Kim. Otherwise, Yoo Ah-young will have no life.]
“You’re talking bullshit!!”
Ji Jin-hee shouted, but the phone had already been hung up.
“That’s right.”
Kwasik.
Shadow, who broke the phone with his grip, said with a grin.
At the same time, Ji Jin-hee’s body rushed in.
The other three people did the same.
but.
Ssssssut.
The moment when the shadow disappears for a moment.
Wow!!!
The bodies of the four people were thrown away by an unknown force.
“Let’s make contact here.”
That was the end of those words.
Ssssss.
The shadow’s body was sucked into the shadow on the floor.
The four people belatedly got up and looked for the missing shadow.
but.
“Cough… .”
“Did I miss it…? .”
“f*ck… .”
“… … .”
The traces had completely disappeared.
* * *
Taehyun crossed the warp gate provided by the association.
The atmosphere was somewhat uneasy.
At that time, an association employee with a familiar face approached Taehyun.
“Player Taehyun Kim!!”
“What happened again?”
Taehyun sighed and asked.
My first thought was that the subjugation of Saechullian had failed.
‘The remnants probably don’t have the strength to do anything.’
Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyuk, Yoo Ah-young, Kwak Si-yang, and Lim A-young grew up acting together with Taehyun.
Among them, except for Lim Ah-young, the remaining four reached the highest level of S grade.
If we add Ji Jin-hee’s strength, who declared her return to the field, it would be enough to deal with at least one national power level player.
The problem is the shadow of Samrodu and the malicious guild leader Min Ji-hong.
However, being outnumbered, all they can do is guerilla warfare.
‘If they were going to go to the front, they would have done so right away.’
They are wanted as ‘national power level mines’ beyond the highest level mines.
There was a high possibility that allies who were watching the situation would move just by coming to the front.
It’s definitely a handshake for those who are trying to make a comeback using the remnants.
“The shadow of Samrodu and the malicious guild leader’s black hole have moved.”
Taehyun had no choice but to admit that he was wrong.
‘Could it be that they are planning to turn the world into their enemy?’
Even if I was an anti-aircraft contractor, this was crazy.
“I’ll talk to you on the way to the association president’s office.”
“Let’s do that.”
Taehyun quietly followed the man.
* * *
“President of the Association. “This is Taehyun Kim, a player.”
Suddenly.
Without even having time to hear an answer, Ji Jin-hee opened the door and came out.
“Taehyun-kun!!”
Come on.
Ji Jin-hee shouted as she hugged the shabby-looking Taehyun.
“Forgive me for being late.”
Taehyun said that and looked at Ji Jinhee’s body.
He was shirtless and wearing bandages.
Various types of scars were engraved on his trained body.
“No. More than that… .”
Ji Jin-hee’s complexion suddenly darkened.
Taehyun led Ji Jinhee into the road.
“I heard the story on the way. “I heard Yoo Ah-young’s guild leader has been kidnapped?”
When we got straight to the point, Ji Jin-hee nodded.
“It’s true… “Guild leader Yoo Ah-young was taken hostage.”
Ji Jin-hee paused for a moment and sighed.
“Please speak.”
“Malicious guild leader Min Ji-hong… “You mentioned Taehyun as a condition of the deal.”
“Is that so.”
“I’m sorry.”
Ji Jin-hee avoided eye contact as if she had no shame.
Even though he, the president of the association, returned to the scene, it was like this.
Moreover, it wasn’t just Yoo Ah-young who was kidnapped.
Many players were seriously injured by the Shadow’s new skills.
Among them was Lim Ah-young.
As the president of the association, as well as a player.
I felt like I was putting a huge burden on Taehyun, so I didn’t have the courage to see his face.
However, Taehyun, the person involved, thought differently.
‘It was my mistake.’
If I had known that Shadow and Black Hole would come out this boldly, I should have stayed with them until the end.
Even if growth in the Abyss is postponed for a while.
“Please wait a moment. I’m currently investigating the location they sent… .”
Taehyun shook his head at Jinhee Ji’s words.
“no. If that’s what they want, it’s simple. “I will go there myself.”
Taehyun was thirsty for growth due to the battle in the Abyss.
‘It is also an opportunity to take advantage of the magic power of the anti-aircraft contractor.’
Devouring the shadow’s rare skills was a bonus.
A turf war between the great dukes who dominate the Abyss.
Even though a war of that scale broke out, there was still no response from the status window.
This means that there is a high probability that the war waged by the Grand Dukes will not be a ‘ethnic war.’
What Ricky Harlis showed me.
What Noname showed.
What Rosaria showed me.
A hypothesis passed through Taehyun’s mind.
‘I don’t have much time.’
We need to become stronger as soon as possible.
“Is it okay…?” .”
Ji Jin-hee asked as if she was worried.
“yes. Rather, there is something the president of the association can help you with.”
“Just say it. “I’ll be ready for anything.”
Ji Jin-hee responded with stern eyes.
If desired, he planned to pour the association’s budget into producing at least a legendary item.
but.
“I want to learn the ancient martial arts of New Korea.”
“… … .”
Ji Jin-hee’s expression changed subtly at the unexpected request.
