Chapter 47 Two Hearts (5) (2/2)

The same was true for Mana Circuit. The constant supply of mana was converted into the energy driving his body along with Diamond Physique. And when necessary, he could both amplify and reduce the mana input at will. With such, he didn’t have to worry about an overload or a breakdown. Yeon-woo felt like he could do this all day long without a break.

And the artifacts such as Black Bracelet, Monsters’ Five Colored Jewel, and Goblin King’s Eye did their job as auxiliary equipment.

*Whistle*

The wind blew around Yeon-woo. The air waved with intense heat.

Yeon-woo was aware that he had gotten stronger. But it was well above his expectations.

‘With this power,’

With skills as powerful as these,

‘I can do anything.’

*Kung*

Yeon-woo took one step forward.

Thanks to his skills, he could revise his plan altogether.

‘There’s no need to stick with the hit-and-run strategy. I can just keep going like this and face them head-on. Then, I can devour them all.’

An intense light shot out from his eyes.

Startled by his look, the other players took a few steps backwards. In their eyes, it was no different from a predator’s eyes gleaming at the sight of its prey.

“Urgh…!”

“How can he still be unfatigued?”

None of them had the guts to jump at Yeon-woo.

When they had first heard there was only one intruder, they had regarded it as a trifling matter. But over 80 players had already died, and a lot of them had died without even leaving a corpse.

They finally realized that they had walked into the depths of hell on their own feet.

Yeon-woo took another step closer.

“If you’re not coming to me,”

Unable to withstand Yeon-woo’s aura, the players stepped farther back.

“Then I’ll come to you now.”

Yeon-woo smiled coldly and bent his knees to get ready to dart forward.

The players’ faces turned even paler in horror.

Yeon-woo’s feet kicked the ground and stormed his way into the crowd of players.

*Swish*

It was then.

“Stop!”

When suddenly, a voice echoed like a thunderbolt across the sky.

Yeon-woo stopped halfway and raised his head.

A group of ten players dropped down from the building across from Yeon-woo.

*Tak*

Every single one of them seemed stronger than those he had fought so far. Especially the one at the front, he gave off dangerous aura undeniably stronger than that of all the other players present combined. The two swords hanging crossed on his back gave a very strong impression.

It was Bild.

And the nine players behind him were the players from The Tower sent by Cheonghwado.

“Ah, finally, he’s here!”

“We, we’re saved!”

Hope appeared on their faces for the first time.

Bild’s eyes, however, were filled with only anger.

“So you’re the white mask? All this time, you’ve been hiding like a pesky little rat, and now you’ve finally decided to show your face. But do you have any idea where you are?”

Bild saw the players’ dead bodies and the debris of the collapsed buildings lying everywhere around him. The last bit of Arangdan’s barely-remaining power had been destroyed. There were only about 30 survivors left after the incident.

Considering that there had been more than a hundred people just before he left, more than 80 players had died in his brief absence.

This was all done by only one player.

From the beginning to the end.

This was the culprit who had screwed up everything for Arangdan.

*Whoosh*

A rush of intense aura blew around Bild. It was an aura as hot and intense as the resentment he was feeling.

And on the other side,

Yeon-woo was looking at Bild with a frown on his face.

‘What is this familiarity I’m feeling?‘

Clearly, he was a player dispatched to the tutorial by Cheonghwado, a player Yeon-woo couldn’t have met before in the tutorial. Therefore, he had been dealing with small fries up until now in order to draw a big fish like him out of their base.

But even after achieving his goal, Yeon-woo couldn’t make even a small smile. Because he experienced a strange deja vu the moment he saw Bild.

He had memories of him, but Yeon-woo couldn’t point out from when or where. His head tickled trying to search his memories. The energy he radiated, it was too familiar.

‘I’d never forget someone with such a strong aura, but have I really seen him somewhere?’

At that moment.

A phrase in his brother’s diary flashed across his mind.

There were five times I had a sword stuck in my heart. Three belonged to the Lords, one from my previous lover.

The other one was from a person whom I believed was my friend.

His brother had a friend he believed was the only person he could lean on when he was in danger.

And his friend had a few players he called ‘brothers’ that he took along.

Then, Yeon-woo finally recalled the face of one of those brothers.

He remembered the scene where this guy was standing next to his brother laughing at him as his brother collapsed with a dagger stuck in his heart.

And Yeon-woo soon recalled his name.

‘Bild!‘

Yeon-woo’s eyes blazed with anger.

‘How could he be here?‘

Players rarely returned back to the tutorial once they started to climb up The Tower.

They had 99 floors ahead of them to climb, why would they go back to the place where they had suffered for a whole month?

And as far as Yeon-woo knew, Bild was one of the players who focused on climbing The Tower.

‘Why is a player like him in the tutorial, and even in Arangdan?‘

Just then, all the questions that had been lingering in his head became so clear. Arangdan. The scavengers. Cheonghwado. Human farm. The ‘real’ purpose they had been hiding.

And then, the identity of the guy behind Bild.

It wasn’t perfect, but he could sketch the barest outline of their plan in his head.

‘This place wasn’t just another hideout of Cheonghwado.’

Fire spewed out from Yeon-woo’s eyes.

‘Leonte. He made this place in order to hide something from Chenghwado…!’
