Chapter 59 (2/2)

The building was shaking as if it would collapse soon. Huge magic started to surround the space. Su-hyeun’s magic contained his anger in full.

“Boss! What is going on…!”

“O-oh my god!”

The awakeners of Ares Guild arrived in the room, but they were pressed down by Su-hyeun’s magic. Su-hyeun did not even turn his eyes as if he was not interested in those people. He was staring at Hak-joon. Hak-joon’s heart began to pound at Su-hyeun’s words. Su-hyeun said he would help. With that word, Hak-joon felt like reliving a burden.

“Help…me.”

“Choi Hak-joon!”

“Help…us. Help, please…”

Hak-joon did not know what he was talking about. Just as his instincts told him, he just wanted to lean on someone. He had no confidence to walk this dirty and painful road in the future alone.

“Well done.”

Whoosh—

According to the gesture of Su-hyeun, a huge flame rose around Hak-joon, Jung Dong-yeong, and him. It became like a wall and prevented other awakeners from intervening. Jung Dong-young, with a hardened look, received an ominous feeling that he had never felt before. He had never met anyone who didn’t count the front and the back like this.

“From now on, I will tell you the wrong part of what you’ve been saying.”

“What?” Jung Dong-yeong asked.

Su-hyeun pulled out a small necklace in his arms. “This is the Sharyes’ treasure. I gained this from the Tower of Trials. I cherished and saved this item so far. It is a recovery item to help recover from all injuries and abnormal conditions. Well, it takes a little time to activate so hard to use during the battle. But…”

As Su-hyeun explained the item, the expression of Jung Dong-yeong and Hak-joon changed in the opposite way. They both thought that would be nonsense, but even though they thought the same thing, their final thoughts were different. Su-hyeun looked back at Hak-joon and smiled.

“I completely removed the poison, so don’t worry.”

“R-rea…,” Hak-joon shouted in surprise. “Really?”

“No! No! He is lying!” Jung Dong-young shouted urgently.

He could not believe Su-hyeun had found the detoxification item. Even if it was true, he still wondered if this item could detox his poison skill. Jung Dong-yeong thought that Su-hyeun was lying right at the moment. No, it couldn’t be a lie.

“Well. I don’t care if you believe me or not. And secondly, what you mentioned, I am pressing down an innocent guild or something like that…” Su-hyeun’s next words trampled down the last remaining Jung Dong-young’s insurance. “I think I am doing a good thing by getting rid of the Dump Guild pawn. It will be a good reason, won’t it?”

“How… you!”

Jung Dong-young’s face changed drastically as if he tried to ask how Su-hyeun knew about that. Jung Dong-young was always calm. Hak-joon, who had spent a quite long time with him, never saw his such face.

“Don’t be so surprised. I knew about it from a long time ago. I was thinking about how to kill those cockroaches soon and later. So I am doing this now.”

“You… What are you…?”

Jung Dong-yeong tried to clean up his twisted brain. His eyes were shaking. When he had heard the name of Su-hyeun, he just thought of him as one of the talented awakeners. So, he thought he could find his weakness and use him as he had done for Hak-joon. That was why he had been searching for him. But…

“How does this bastard know about Dump Guild?”

Dump Guild was the underground guild that sponsored Ares Guild from behind. Jung Dong-young, a long time ago, contacted them to make Ares Guild. With dirty money, Ares Guild could expand their power quickly. Now, he was in charge of handling the Dump Guild’s work at the light side. It was a secret that no one knew. Even within the guild, he was the only one who knew. But, somehow, Su-hyeun knew about this.

“You don’t have to know what I am.”

Thump—

Su-hyeun, who had finished talking, walked toward Jung Dong-yeong.

“If you have sinned, you have to pay the price.”

“D-don’t come to me!” Jung Dong-yeong screamed out loud.

At the same time, some green liquid spouted from Jung Dong-young’s hands and spread out everywhere. It was poison, Jung Dong-young’s main skill.

But Su-hyeun’s skill was incompatible with poison skill.

Sizzle—

The green liquid poison was blocked by the Flame skill, and dripped down. The liquid that lost its toxicity and became nothing but sticky mucus.

Su-hyeun pulled his sword from the waist area.

“Damn it! Damn it!”

<> Jung Dong-young thought.

He bit his lips and turned his body. He ran towards the opposite wall and jumped down from the window.

Clang—!

Jung Dong-young, who jumped from the tenth floor, tried to find a way to land quickly.

Even if he was A-Rank, falling from this height could potentially break his legs.

“I have to get out of here now. And then…”

Suddenly, he could hear a familiar voice.

“Where are you going?”

Stab—

Something hot stuck in Jung Dong-yeong’s head. The thought stopped. The instinctive fear of death filled his brain first, rather than pain. When he rolled his eyes, he could see the face of Su-hyeun.

“Don’t…kill…me…”

“No, I don’t want to.”

Splash—!

Su-hyeun ignored Jung Dong-young’s words and cut his body in half. Then he crushed his hand in the building and looked down the falling body of Jung Dong-young.

“If you wanted to beg for your life, you shouldn’t have played with others first.”
