”Are you finished?”
When Kim Tae-hoon came back, it wasn't a short amount of time, Kate greeted him with a great deal of eagerness. She asked right away, ”How can you fly?”
She seemed to be surprised more than anything that he flew. Even if she wanted to know, she could not even think of running away from him.
He answered her question briefly, ”Well.”
”Do you have laser beams in your eyes?”
He didn't even answer her subsequent question. Instead, he injected his Energy into the Gandol Sword he had brought with him.
Woo-woong! Immediately after that, a yellowish blade of light appeared on the Gandol Sword.
”Wow! Lightsaber!”
Kim hit a medium-sized car in front of her.
Seu-euk! The sharp edge of the Sword started with the roof of the car and cut the car in half.
She no longer even spoke of admiration in front of the scene. Instead, she began to tremble weakly, as if she were surprised at the gruesome sight.
It was such an eerie power. He looked at the Gandol Sword in his hand. 'It has a lot of power.'
Currently, his Energy level was B rank. It was not a low rank at all. With his Energy and Strength stats, he could crush a car like a sheet of paper with his bare hands. However, a cutting power that could slice through a car like this in one swoop was a different kind of story.
Most of all, the Gandol Sword was not the only one. To his knowledge, dozens of Gandol Swords were kept at the Buyeo National Museum.
'If a hunter group is armed with these Gandol Swords…'
Furthermore, Jang Sung-hoon said that the Buyeo National Museum had the Half-moon Stone Sword, as well as the Bronze Sword. If all of them had become relics, their power must have been even stronger than expected. Once, he finished his thought here.
”Hey!” It was more important for him to shut up the woman who was shining curious blue eyeballs at him.
”Please tell me what happened! What the Hell is that? Is it like a lightsaber?”
He replied to her, who was waiting for an answer, ”From now on, we will dismantle the monsters.”
”Yes?”
”If you don't like doing it, I will do it. The monster stone will be mine.”
”Wait, wait a minute.”
Only then did she shut up and change her eyes. She gave him a resentful look. Of course, it was only for a while. After she finished thinking about it, she turned her back on him and walked over to her own Orc.

Pook! While she was struggling against the Orc with a knife, he began to think over the information he had received.
'The Gilt-bronze Incense Burner to create a monster.' The first thing that filled his head was about the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner the man had mentioned before he died.
There were not many objects in the world that deserved the name ”The Gilt-bronze Incense Burner.” More importantly, there was only one thing in Korea that the man with the Gandol Sword could use for the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner.
'Is it the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje?'
National treasure No. 287, the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje.
It was a great work of art. It was like an incense burner from a distance, but it was not just an incense burner up close. A dragon held a lotus peak and a phoenix stood at the end of the lotus peak.
The lotus flower was also a representation of Three Divine Mountains where the gods of the perennial youth and long life lived, and it was decorated with a variety of animals and mythical animals, starting with five musicians playing five musical instruments.
'Creating a monster?' But the dead man described the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner as creating a monster.
There was no telling whether it created a monster or a human being. Anything was possible.
'Dragon and Phoenix.'
And if the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner was the one that called the monster back, something very troublesome would happen.
His imagination about The Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje had stopped there.
What was more important now was that it was in the hands of a group named Messiah. He frowned when he moved on to that part.
'Messiah again.' It was Messiah again. It was the third time, and he felt annoyed.
But it was not a coincidence if anything was repeated over and over. By the fact that they used the name Messiah, he could measure the characteristics of the organization.
In fact, normal groups do not use the name Savior. Rather, abnormal groups often used the name Messiah to justify their existence and behavior.
Of course, there was no good man using the name Messiah as the name of the organization.
It was no different this time. Indeed, if the Messiah group in Buyeo had been a group trying to become a Savior for justice and peace, the man with a precious Gandol Sword would not have headed to Seoul at the risk of his life. There was no doubt that he had even said so in his will to save his family.
The last thing that was clear… 'It's clear that there's a power to survive in this hellish world.'
The organization called the Messiah, which was located in Buyeo, was entitled to survive in a monster-filled world.
”It's over.” She appeared in front of him, with a cleaver in her bloody left hand, and a red jewel in her right hand, and a spotted pattern of blood on her face.
He looked at her slowly. She frowned at the look.
”I did what you told me, okay?”
”I didn't say anything.”
”Oh, it's…”
While she hesitated, he took off his bag and opened it, pulling out a thick translucent plastic bag from it. The plastic wrapper was filled with red jewels like candy. You couldn't count the number of them quickly.
She looked at it and swallowed her drool. Of course, it wasn't because the monster stones were delicious. She knew what it meant to gain power through the monster stones. It was the reason for her appetite again.
”The current number of monster stones left is 255.” He gave her the exact figure.
”Are you provoking me now?” It sounded like his remark was meant to make fun of her. Naturally, her face crumpled as well.
”I'll give you all of them.”
”Yes?” That's why she was even more surprised. ”What the hell…”
”I can give you all 255 monster stones.”
”Oh, why?”
”Forty percent a month.”
”Forty percent?”
