## Chapter 706 – 706. Savior Of The Academy
706. Savior of the Academy
“Oh my god…”
Sarah was in shock. The power emanating from the demon spirit was extraordinary. She held her rapier in front of me, but her body was trembling.
The demon spirit looked at me. However, it didn’t speak or attack. The demon spirit soared into the sky.
-I’ll kill you! Wang Shien!!
The demon spirit flew through the skies of Chicago, searching for Wang Shien.
I scratched my head, looking up at the sky. I could see the trail the demon spirit left behind. The demon spirit was moving solely on revenge, burning its own spirit body.
‘I thought it had completely fallen into being a demon spirit, but it wasn’t. The spirit orb doesn’t purify a corrupted spirit, but it does amplify the power of a demon spirit.’
If left alone, that wind spirit would self-destruct. It had already given up on its own existence.
“Yujin! Can you explain what’s going on?”
Sarah asked me with a serious face. I could see police and heroes approaching from afar.
“Sure. I’ll tell you what I know.”
Tonight in Chicago was going to be long.
***
Riding on the back of a Jiang Shi, Wang Shien returned to his residence and began packing, throwing things around the room. He discarded everything useless and only took the essentials.
The only chance to successfully escape this city was tonight, when over 100 Jiang Shi were drawing the attention of the Hero Association’s Chicago branch.
Wang Shien took out a red fan hidden deep in the room and held it in his hand. It was a weapon that used life force instead of magic, but it could unleash a powerful force.
‘The demonization of the wind spirit is almost complete. Even if the barrier is released, the demonization won’t stop. The base of the forced contract is already engraved. If I summon it in about three days and finish the contract, I can obtain the wind demon spirit.’
Anticipating three days later, Wang Shien poured gasoline around the house and lit a match. Flames erupted, destroying the materials.
‘These materials can never fall into the hands of the Hero Association.’
He went outside, got back on the Jiang Shi’s back, and moved to leave Chicago.
After a while, he was on a deserted road outside Chicago when he felt an unusual wind and turned his head. The wind demon spirit was flying towards him.
“W-what is this? Why are you here?!”
It was incomprehensible.
Even without the barrier, it was impossible for a mid-level wind spirit, whose demonization had progressed this far, to come looking for him on its own.
-Wang Shien!! After making me like this, do you think I’ll just let it go! Even if I disappear! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!
“Huuuuh!”
Startled by the demon spirit’s vigor, Wang Shien pounded the Jiang Shi’s head with his fist.
“Run faster! Run faster!”
But the Jiang Shi’s speed remained the same. It was already running at its maximum speed.
The wind blew. A swirling black wind blade cut off both of the Jiang Shi’s legs. The Jiang Shi fell forward, and Wang Shien rolled on the dirt ground.
He saw it clearly. The Jiang Shi shattering like a dropped piece of pottery in the swirling wind.
Crack! Crunch!
-You’re next. I won’t kill you normally. You will suffer as much as I did!
“H-hey, do you know that your body is disappearing?! I can save you! Make a formal contract with me! Isn’t that much better than disappearing!”
-I’d rather die than become a demon spirit.
“You damn…!”
Wang Shien took out the red fan. The end of the fully spread fan glowed red, sucking in Wang Shien’s life force. Wang Shien bit his lower lip. It wasn’t painful. However, he felt a nasty sensation as if his vital organs were being pulled out.
-Should I cut off your legs? Or your arms first? …No. It would be better to grind your fingers down one by one.
“You ignorant failure!”
A red aura shot out from the red fan towards the demon spirit. The demon spirit stirred up the wind. The black wind tore through the red aura and shattered the red fan.
“……!!”
Wang Shien knelt on the ground with a face full of despair. Something that shouldn’t have happened had occurred. Wang Shien tried to run away, but an invisible wind grabbed his limbs. Unable to move, Wang Shien shouted.
“I! I was wrong! Please spare me!”
-I said those words to you too. But you didn’t listen to me. I don’t plan on listening to you either.
The demon spirit revealed its vicious malice.
Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
The wind stirred up by the demon spirit made a chilling sound.
-Humans don’t live long… Wang Shien. Please, live a long life.

『Karma: Goodness has increased by 2.』
A notification window suddenly appeared in front of me as I was explaining the situation to the American Association’s Chicago branch.
‘Did Wang Shien die?’
I used the spirit orb to make the wind demon spirit stronger. The demon spirit broke the barrier with its own power and went to kill Wang Shien. I didn’t kill Wang Shien directly. But if I hadn’t been there, Wang Shien wouldn’t have died.
‘Conversely, the demon spirit could have been killed by Wang Shien. …Well, considering Wang Shien’s skills, that possibility is very low.’
Anyway, it was a win for me.
“Aaaaaaaah!”
“Save me! Hero! Help me!”
“Zombies! Zombies are killing people!”
Screams echoed throughout the city, along with the sound of things being smashed. The Jiang Shi, scattered everywhere, were attacking people indiscriminately.
I picked my nose with my index finger. I didn’t care about the Jiang Shi running wild.
“Sarah, let’s go back to the hotel. I’m sleepy.”
“W-well…”
Sarah looked around, flustered. The situation was serious. A state of emergency had already been declared in Chicago.
A hero, who seemed to be the representative of the Hero Association, looked at me and said.
“Aren’t you the son of Thunderclap? A VIP among VIPs. If something happens to this child, Thunderclap will go wild. Just imagining it is terrifying. Sarah, assign some heroes. Take him to the hotel and guard him tightly.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll ask you about this later.”
I returned to my hotel room, immediately took off my clothes, and lay down on the bed. Han Sohee, who had been sleeping until I arrived, asked me with sleepy eyes.
“Yujin, did you have a good walk?”
“Yeah. It was fun.”
I took Han Sohee’s arm and snuggled into her embrace. Her breasts were B-cup, but they were warm and elastic, which felt good. The only problem was that I could smell my semen on her body.
***
The next morning.
Chicago lifted the state of emergency. All the Jiang Shi scattered throughout the city had been dealt with.
There were 2,170 victims. Among them, 1,055 died. It was natural for the citizens of Chicago to be angry, and the head of the Hero Association’s Chicago branch decided to hold a press conference in the afternoon.
The head of the Chicago branch would reveal the truth about Guirakgok to the citizens. That way, they could shift the citizens’ anger from the Hero Association to Guirakgok.
‘If it’s Guirakgok, the citizens won’t blame the Hero Association too much. The citizens are well aware of how terrifying Guirakgok is.’
Guirakgok.
A sinister force where those who use powers related to death, such as necromancers, demon spirit users, and Jiang Shi masters, gather.
People think Guirakgok is crazy, but in reality, more than half of the people who join Guirakgok are often ordinary people.
They seek Guirakgok with the hope of reviving their loved ones, such as dead lovers, parents, or siblings. And Guirakgok cunningly uses them, stating their goal is to blur the boundaries between life and death in the world.
‘They research and overcome death. There are quite a few tycoons who are drawn to Guirakgok’s actions. Those with money and power want to eliminate death, which will come someday and cannot be dealt with by money or power.’
I picked up a piece of salad provided by the hotel with a fork and put it in my mouth. The fresh vegetables were crunchy, and the tangy dressing was appealing.
‘Come to think of it, the leader of Guirakgok’s name was Wang Wei. Considering he shares the same surname as that guy from yesterday, there’s a possibility they’re direct relatives.’
I couldn’t be sure.
In China, the surname Wang was as common as Kim in Korea.
‘Did they inform Guirakgok about me? If they’re direct relatives, wouldn’t they come for revenge?’
My head was getting a little complicated.
“Um, Yujin.”
“Yeah?”
“The head of the Hero Association’s Chicago branch you met yesterday wants to talk to you.”
“What for?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Hmm.”
I, who had been sitting on the chair, took off my pants and flicked my penis. Sarah looked at me, flustered, and eventually knelt in front of me and caressed my penis.
“Since Sarah is going this far, I’ll meet him. When and where should I meet him?”
“He said he’ll come in an hour.”
“An hour? That’s plenty of time. Suck my dick properly.”
“…Yes. *Mwah*.”
Sarah kissed my glans and started sucking.
‘The branch head is coming to see me… It can’t be to hold me responsible.’
On the contrary, he should be thanking me. If it weren’t for me, Wang Shien would have continuously sucked up the mana of Chicago and created a demon spirit. He would have released those Jiang Shi before leaving the city too.
‘I have a rough idea of what the branch head wants.’
***
Oliver Davis, the head of the American Hero Association’s Chicago branch, arrived exactly one hour later. He was a bald man in his early 40s with a red mustache. He was the one who told Sarah to take me to the hotel late last night.
“Did you sleep well last night, Yujin?”
He greeted me slowly. What was unusual was that, unlike others, he didn’t see me as an ordinary child. It seemed Sarah had reported something about me. Or maybe he was just good at reading people.
“Yes. It’s nice to meet you, Branch Head.”
“Call me Oliver. And the lady next to you is Sohee, right?”
“Yes. I don’t know what you need from Yujin, but Yujin is still a child.”
“I know. I’m not going to ask him to do anything dangerous.”
Oliver looked at me. His eyes were heavy. They say you can know a person by looking into their eyes. Oliver was a man like a rock.
“Yujin. I heard you can see not only spirits but also the wind.”
“Yes. I can see it if I try.”
“Indeed, amazing. It was natural for you to find that place yesterday with those eyes.”
“I just saw it when I looked.”
“Thanks to you, we’re conducting new inspections all over the United States. We’ve found strange energies in some cities.”
It seemed there were guys like Wang Shien in other cities in the US.
“Is that why you came?”
“…It’s embarrassing to say this to you, but we lost the demon spirit. We can’t even find its trail. We need your help. Please track the demon spirit with your eyes.”
Han Sohee, who was next to me, frowned and opened her mouth.
“Branch Head Oliver. Are you joking? Yujin is still young. Do you think Seong Hari will stay still if she finds out about this?”
“Don’t be so sensitive, Sohee. We’re only asking for help with tracking. I guarantee Yujin’s safety.”
“Still, no!”
“If we leave the demon spirit as it is, we don’t know how much damage it will cause. Thousands… or even tens of thousands of people could die. Can’t you understand my position as someone who has to protect the citizens of Chicago?”
Before Han Sohee could say anything, I stepped forward.
“Okay. I’ll help you.”
“Yujin! What are you saying! What will Hari do if she finds out?!”
“It’s okay, Sohee. They said they need help. I’m going to be a hero later. I don’t want to turn a blind eye to people who need help.”
“Yujin…”
Han Sohee looked at me with anxious eyes. Oliver didn’t miss this opportunity and quickly said.
“Yujin. I appreciate your help. You just need to tell us the general direction of where the demon spirit is.”
“Yes. But if it’s too far away, I can’t see it well.”
That was a lie. I already knew where the demon spirit was.
“I see. I’ll assign some heroes. I’d like to go with you myself, but… I have a press conference soon, so I don’t have time.”
I smiled. This was a good opportunity. If I killed the demon spirit with the heroes, there was a high chance I would gain good karma.
“You’re not going to use me for free, right?”
“Of course not. I have a good gift for you. You can look forward to it.”
