While patrolling the inner city for the past few days, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had figured out exactly where all the knights and soldiers were stationed.

From first glance, their defense looked impenetrable, with no avenue of getting through, yet the corridor leading to the lord's bedroom chamber wasn't watched. And above all, so long as one wasn't discovered as soon as they entered the lord's chamber, no one would even try to stop them from exiting through the corridor.

[Thank you for all your hard work, Sir Seta.]

”You too. Is the lord asleep?”

[Yes, he is. With the Magician Leader. Ahem.]

The knight sheepishly slandered the lord. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo imagined their skin and bones coming into contact with each other, entwined in lovemaking, and felt truly disgusted. But that just meant that this was his opportunity!

”If you're aware of that, why are you standing here? We should just let them enjoy themselves and leave them be.”

[Actually, I've already sent the other soldiers away. I've already confirmed that it's safe, so I was going to go...]

”Alright. I should go rest too.”

Since a level 6 magician was with the lord, more protection shouldn't be necessary. As such, with just one sentence from Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, the knight obeyed and left without any suspicion.

His plan probably wouldn't progress as smoothly if the level 6 Knight Leader were here, but as soon as Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had entered the inner city, the Knight Leader completely trusted in Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and continued with upholding the imperial command. Everyone in the city trusted Lee s.h.i.+n Woo!

'Yeah, this moment is when it's most exciting.'

When he was sure that the knight had left and there was no one left that could see him, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo comfortably walked through the corridor. Soon, he gripped a Lightning Tooth in his hand.

'At the very least, they fortified the room with magic in case of intruders.'

'Even if it's rotten, it's still a Herring', huh. The lord's bedroom was complicatedly equipped with alarm and defense magic. But that was all. To Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who could ascertain the very base structure of magic, it was even more useless than a physical wall.

”Hut.”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo swung his blade, emitting powerful lightning, while curving it intricately; the next moment, all the magic that had been set-up vanished.

If a smarter magician had set this up, then the moment that the magic was forcefully dispelled, there would be an additional measure, like a magical formula that trapped the invader. But unfortunately, the city's Magician Leader wasn't that talented.

”Hmph.”

But regardless of how stupid the magician was, they should at least be able to quickly recognize when their magic was released. Therefore, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo didn't hesitate and walked through the room. To an onlooker, seeing the two bare undead would cause severe psychological damage; the man and woman looked shocked and locked eyes with him.

[Huh!?]

[You're...]

He hadn't acted very covertly, but he had been quick; the moment he entered the room and they discovered him... Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's Lightning Tooth shot out like lightning, and struck the Magician Leader's neck, cutting her off from speaking.

No matter how much Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's stats had gone up, or how powerful Rule of Bone was, an elite level 6 undead wouldn't go down from just a single strike. However, what he used wasn't just a regular sword. It was artifact that contained the lightning element, an element that he'd unleashed to its full potential.

[Ga...ah...]

”You probably can't move. Yeah, it seems like you don't have lightning resistance either. I would've preferred if you did, and could still move around...”

Amongst all of his other elements, lightning was by far his most powerful. The lightning element was inherently quick, and was ridiculously powerful as well. Aside from that, the lightning element possessed a special ability: the electric current would paralyze the recipient for a short time.

Even if he wasn't able to kill them, the fact that he was able to momentarily impair their movement meant that he had an advantage. Moreover, the electricity prevented one from speaking, so it was suited for covert operations.

[What are you...]

The lord stood up and attempted to yell at Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's brutality, but from out of nowhere, a Lightning Tooth flew like lightning at the back of his nape, striking true. Of course, the lord was likewise silenced.

If the two hadn't been bare naked, with no defensive equipment on, and hadn't been engrossed in each other, things probably wouldn't have progressed so easily.

'As I thought, they can't stop themselves from engaging in their habits... Because they weren't able to completely give up their humanity, they die so emptily.'

The lord and the magician had stiffened in place, but Lee s.h.i.+n Woo didn't become careless, and struck them with another two flying Lightning Tooths. This was because their paralysis would soon wear off.

[Guah...]

”...”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who'd acquired so much time to finish the job, gripped the first Lightning Tooth that was still embedded in the magician's neck, and discharged all the lightning, completely blowing her head up. A truly clean and explosive strike, befitting of the name Bursting Thunder!

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's lightning had paralyzed her mana, so it was impossible for her to guard against it, even if she had attempted to use her magic to do so! Ultimately, the level 6 elite magician pitifully lost her life in an instant.

[You have acquired 157,550 Perium.]

[You have acquired the Lv6 Kadinan Magician Leader, Soulrit's finger bone.]

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo collected the loot with his free hand that wasn't gripping a sword, and turned his head. The lord was bare naked like his lover, Soulrit, who had been the first to go, but when Lee s.h.i.+n Woo looked over the lord's unattractive body, and in particular, a specific part of his body, he became more and more p.i.s.sed off.

”I'm a level 6 undead too, so why...!?”

[Gaahk...!]

Of course, it was because they were bare naked that he was able to kill them so easily, but even so... why!? He couldn't go any further, as saying anything more left a bitter taste in his mouth. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo gripped the sword burrowed in the lord's neck and forcefully twisted.

A powerful electric current was quietly discharged, afflicting the lord's body with a horrific pain, but... contrary to Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's desire to torment and curse at the lord for hours on end, the lord soon died.

[You have acquired 210,780 Perium.]
