𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟏𝟖: 𝐀𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
Siwoo shook off the flesh and blood of the Jackal that had stained Balmung.
The heat spread and swayed his emotions, making him look like this.
‘𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙨𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩 𝙖 𝙝𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨, 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝘿𝙤 𝙆𝙮𝙪𝙣𝙜-𝙝𝙤𝙤’𝙨.’
He glared at those around him who were hesitant to look at Jackal’s body.
“Yikes!”
“Hey. . . Where did you put away the Gate Heart? Should I ask you to spit it out one by one?”
At Siwoo’s sternness, Jackal’s men looked at each other as if they didn’t know how to answer.
It wasn’t that their loyalty to 〈Pandemonium〉 was low.
It was just that the men were directly serving Jackal, and it was no exaggeration to say that they had actually come to him because of his power.
That Jackal was killed by a single swing of the sword wielded by the enemy?
It was only natural that they would be slow to respond to the shock that was coming.
“If you don’t want to tell me, don’t. I’ll find out if I kill you one by one.”
Siwoo said in a cold voice.
“Hahaha. If you say that, it will be difficult for even those who know to tell you.”
At that moment, a voice was heard, and the figures of the people disappeared in an instant.
No, it wasn’t that they had disappeared, but that the place where they had been was ‘completely’ eaten.
Thud-!! Card-!! Add-!!
It was a strange situation, but since it wasn’t the first time he had heard the voice, Siwoo just glared at it.
The place where more than ten people had gathered was dug in a circle, and there was no trace of it left.
“You’re carrying something strange with youㅡ Crow.”
“Oh my? How did you know?”
Along with the clear voice, a lovely face appeared from beyond the bushes.
Crow in a white robe and a petite girl also in a white robe.
“Raphel is jealous!”
“. . .Hello?”
When Raphel waved her hand, Siwoo greeted her in a daze.
“Yes! Hello!”
“You two have already become close? This cute kid is named Raphel.”
Crow said, stroking Raphel’s head.
“She’s cute. . . Ra. It’s easy to say that it’s a little girl with a black hole in her stomach.”
“That’s just an ability. You killed a person a little while ago too.”
“I didn’t kill him. I cut him.”
Crow shrugged her shoulders with a face that said, ‘Is that the same or not?’
“That’s beside the point, what are you doing here today?”
“Would you believe me if I said I came to see you?”
“Ha?”
“Ahahaha. You’re cold.”
“It’s not that I’m cold, it’s just a ridiculous reason.”
When Siwoo retorted, Crow muttered, “That’s not exactly true.”
She hugged Raphel tightly in front of her like a back hug and said,
“I heard you’ve been fighting with 〈Pandemonium〉 lately.”
“It’s the place that Black Mamba told me about when I first met you.”
The organization that brought Volk and Red Ear together, and where Crow was the leader, 〈BESTIA〉.
When she asked about the client while catching Black Mamba, who had assassinated Jeong Min-jun, the name she had heard was 〈Pandemonium〉.
“Ahahaha, that’s right. I didn’t know we would be so closely associated at the time.”
“So? What’s the main point?”
“Actually, our organization is also angry about the terrorism caused by 〈Pandemonium〉 this time.”
“Why IZIZ? You’re also a terrorist group.”
“We are not a terrorist group!!”
Raphel clenched her fist and shouted.
The young girl looked cute rather than scary.
“. . .From the government’s point of view, you guys are probably similar.”
“Ahahaha. I won’t deny that. But isn’t it different for you?”
“I won’t deny that part either. I don’t think much of you guys, but I plan to kill everyone in 〈Pandemonium〉.”
Siwoo’s last sentence was full of murderous intent.
Starting with Min-jun, to the S-Rank Gate, and now the raid on the auction house.
They are the places that are worth being hated for every action that comes to mind.

“I’m not a little girl! I’m Raphel! But your wings are cool!”
【𝐎𝐡ㅡ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐞𝐲𝐞! 𝐌𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬!】
“Wow! Raphel has them too!”
Unlike Siwoo’s bloody thoughts, there was a conversation below the level next to him.
“So what are we going to do? Are we going to form a united front or something?”
“It’s similar to that. I was wondering if we could give-and-take information.”
Siwoo hesitated for a moment.
He didn’t prefer to do this because there were too many variables.
Can you trust the other person? Will the information be clear? Will there be any long-term benefits?
After thinking about it from many angles, he slowly nodded his head.
“It won’t be the whole opinion of IZIZ, is it okay for you to decide alone?”
“Are you worried about me?”
“I was wondering if the organization would kill you as a traitor.”
Crow laughed cheerfully at Siwoo’s words.
As expected, her heart still fluttered when she saw this man.
I want to soak that cold face in blood and lay it on the floor, but━
‘𝙃𝙚’𝙨 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧. 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚.’
She folded her regrets and replied.
“Basically, our organization is individualistic. Even if I run away with you, wouldn’t they bat an eye?”
“It’s a strange organization. Do you have a leader?”
“Ahahaha. Of course, there is no organization without a head. But what about you? You belong to HSIU.”
“I don’t care either. But the information about 〈Pandemonium〉 can only be shared with a few people.”
“For example?”
She asked with a curious face.
“Vice President Edward of the Headquarters, President Choi Dae-soo. Just these two?”
Her eyes widened at Siwoo’s answer.
“They’re both big shots, more than I thought.”
“I don’t think so, but anyway, those two.”
“I can share it if necessary. But IZIZ.”
“It doesn’t matter. Just give me your number.”
“This is the first time I’ve ever heard such a forceful confession.”
Crow giggled and entered her number into Siwoo’s phone.
“Just in case, do you know where Gate Heart is?”
“Well. But I know the name of this operation.”
“What is it?”
“Putting a bell around a cat’s neck.”
What is that?
Just when he thought it was a silly sound, Raphel’s stomach swelled and she spat out a huge lump.
“. . .Damn it. Is that your colleague?”
“Oh my, how could that be.”
“Ugh! It’s too big to chew!”
【𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭!】
It was something that Jackal himself or one of his men had.
An artifact that sealed the demon.
Like Jiang Chen summoned the Ogre King before he was caught, ‘that’ was probably activated the moment it was eaten by Raphel.
『Ƙɾɾɾɾɾɾ- Ƙաɑɑɑɑ!!』
The chimera soared into the sky, screaming a tremendous roar.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Siwoo quickly stabbed his sword into the creature’s torso and grabbed it.
Perhaps because of its huge body, the chimera flew into the sky without paying any attention to the sword.
Siwoo held on to the creature’s fur with all his might to keep from falling.
The front is a lion, the middle is a goat, the tail is a snake’s head, and the wings are a pegasus’s.
This monstrous creature, which was not like a horse, did not even pay attention to the bugs attached to its body and began to howl towards the ground.
『Ƙաɑɑɑɑɑɑɑɑ!!』
A roar that would make living beings tremble fell to the ground.
Siwoo climbed the creature’s torso like a climber going up an ice wall with an ice ax.
【𝐖𝐨𝐰! 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠! 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐈’𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐭!】
“Shut up!”
Siwoo replied in time to the beat every time he hit the back plate with his sword.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been this high.
Was the last time when I fought that yellow dragon in the other world?
Siwoo smiled, showing his teeth, at a height that would make even someone without acrophobia break out in a cold sweat.
‘𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙨, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙙!’
Now all he had to do was go a little higher and he would be at the creature’s head.
But at that moment,
『πεθαἱγω)』
The creature said.
As if it were a magic trigger, a huge amount of magical power gathered in the chimera’s mouth.
Coo-gug-gug-gug. . . . . .!!
An enormous energy that could destroy the entire venue with just one shot.
“Hey, sh*t!”
Siwoo kicked his foot.
[Takemikazuchi: Root of Lightning]
The magic power embedded in the bracelet was manifested as a high-voltage lightning bolt that flashed as if it was going to burn the chimera’s body.
Kwagaaaaaa!!
Where the blue lightning passed.
The chimera, which had turned bright red, roared and looked for its opponent,
Siwoo gathered the remaining magic power in Balmung and struck the chimera’s head with a sword energy the size of a house.
Kwaa-aaaaaaaaaaang!!!
The magical power that had been in its mouth lost its way and rampaged, and the chimera’s body burst in the air.
Siwoo was blown away by the huge shockwave.
At the point where he was about to use the power of the ‘core’ he had obtained by breaking his heart because he had used up all his magical power,
[Wood Creation: Earth’s Guardian]
[Time Traveler: Holding Hands]
Layla and Benedict’s skills were implemented in turn.
[Earth’s Guardian] blocked the chimera’s huge flesh, blood, and entrails that were pouring down to the ground, while
[Holding Hands] slowed down the flow of time around Siwoo and held him back.
Siwoo slowly descended to the ground and looked at Benedict.
‘𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮. . . 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙚?’
Despite such worries, the blond man with sparkling eyes grabbed Siwoo’s hand as soon as he met him and exclaimed.
“Wow!! You’re amazing!! How did you kill that monster in just two shots!! I want to learn!”
“. . . . . .?”
【𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮! 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲! 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠!】
“Oh my gosh! Then you’re the main body! I respect you!”
【𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐦! 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡, 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞!】
“Please! My magic power is too weak. . . I’ll take you as my teacher!”
【𝐘𝐞𝐬. 𝐈 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 ‘𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫’ 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐧. 】
“Grandmaster! I’ll be counting on you in the future!!”
Siwoo felt his irritation double as another idiot was added.
“Oh, teacher! You’re safe!”
“You’re safe too, Rolf. By the way, who is this. . . guy?”
Siwoo, who was about to swear instinctively, calmly corrected his words.
“He’s a man named Benedict Ackermann, ranked 2nd in Germany. I was to introduce him to the teacher anyway. . . I guess you met him like this.”
“President! I finally met your teacher! He said I could call him Grandmaster!”
Benedict said, holding Frey’s wings and dancing around.
“What? Yes? Teacher Siwoo, is that true?”
“. . .You’re out of your mind.”
“Well━ First of all, would you like to go and destroy the gate?”
It was Rolf, who had been with Siwoo for a month.
Right now, his expression was no different from saying, ‘I want to turn everything upside down.’
“No, you don’t have to go to destroy the gate.”
“Yes? What do you mean. . . ?”
Siwoo showed a black stone that had turned into powder in his hand.
“What is this?”
Rolf asked Siwoo with a questioning face.
“Putting a bell around a cat’s neck, they said.”
He recalled Crow’s words and answered Rolf’s question.
“This is the ‘Gate Heart’ that was hanging around the chimera’s neck.”
