## Chapter 906 – 906. God’S Atlantis
[You have entered Zone 9,705, Niflheim.]
“Finally… I’ve arrived.”
I trembled with emotion.
Two months after clearing the Drought Hell. I had entered Niflheim, the hell located at the northern end of the hell zone. Passing through Niflheim would allow me to exit the hell zone.
“It’s desolate in a different way from the Drought Hell.”
Elena, looking around, gave her impression. As she said, it was different from the Drought Hell, but it was even more desolate. Niflheim was a frozen place.
The frozen ground was very hard, and despite wearing shoes and socks, the cold seeped through my skin, feeling like it was freezing my bones.
「The cold of Niflheim freezes time.」
「The longer you stay in Niflheim, the faster time flows in the outer zones.」
Each zone in the hell zone had its own characteristics, and Niflheim was no exception.
“…I knew from what you told me, but seeing it in person, the pressure is different. What’s the time difference?”
“Since we just entered Niflheim, it’s 1 to 3. One day here is three days in the outer zones. The longer we stay in Niflheim, the more that ratio increases.”
I knew it could increase up to 1 to 100. So, we needed to get out of Niflheim as quickly as possible.
“…Did we really have to choose this place?”
“The other places are too difficult for our current strength. Here, there’s a time penalty, but there are no difficult tasks.”
“How do we get out?”
“We need to meet the owner of this place and get their permission.”
Elena and I moved to find the owner of Niflheim, who was somewhere within it.
•••
Kang Myungjin entered the A-Plan Legion.
The air was heavy. A gloomy atmosphere clung to his skin.
It had been half a year since Sung Yoojin had fallen into hell with Elena. The A-Plan Legion had not yet recovered from the aftermath.
‘Duke Baldert and Sung Yoojin fell into the Drought Hell. It’s a place where the hell itself is more troublesome than the monsters. Considering the abilities Sung Yoojin showed, I had hoped for the best, but… it’s reaching its limit. For the legion to grow, we need to move on from Sung Yoojin’s absence.’
However, that was not an easy task, which was a big problem.
“Master, I’ve returned from the dungeon.”
Ji Youngbin approached Kang Myungjin. Kang Myungjin checked the people behind him. The newly recruited legion members were looking at Kang Myungjin with nervous eyes.
They had accepted new recruits to increase the size of the legion. And they had tried to break the gloomy atmosphere of the legion by accepting new members. It had failed.
“Good work. How is the training of the new recruits?”
“The two months of training have paid off. They can all do their part.”
“I see. There are no immediate tasks, so take a rest for now.”
“Yes, Master!”
Ji Youngbin and the new recruits bowed and stepped back.
Kang Myungjin was not very pleased with the new recruits. They were all competent, but none of them were outstanding or special. For the legion to grow rapidly, they needed someone with exceptional talent in at least one area.
‘In that sense, Sung Yoojin was amazing. Whether it was combat, wealth, or connections. Even though she didn’t have the information from the original work like me, she excelled in everything.’
Since Sung Yoojin disappeared, running the legion felt three times harder.
Kang Myungjin walked around the A-Plan Legion headquarters. It was to get a more detailed understanding of the legion’s atmosphere.
He entered Yoo Inha’s room, which was the most comfortable. Yoo Inha was reading a magic book as usual. Kang Myungjin acknowledged his diligence.
“Yoo Inha, how are things these days?”
“I’m the same as always. Master, if I may offer a piece of advice, it would be good to appoint a sub-master. When you’re away, the legion’s atmosphere is… it’s safe to say it’s the worst.”
“I know. That’s why I’ve been worrying a lot lately.”
The sub-master candidates he was considering were Yoo Inha and Ji Youngbin. However, compared to Sung Yoojin, they were lacking. He knew he shouldn’t compare them to Sung Yoojin, but he couldn’t help but do so.
“What about Yoo Seohee?”
“My sister is the same as always. She’s locked herself in her room and hasn’t come out. She seems to be talking to Lee Minjung occasionally, but…”
Yoo Seohee had been locked in her room since Sung Yoojin disappeared and rarely came out. Her abilities were quite useful, so he hadn’t kicked her out, but… if this continued, he might have to seriously consider her dismissal.
“I understand. Sorry for disturbing your personal time.”
“It’s nothing.”
Kang Myungjin left Yoo Inha’s room and walked down the hallway. He sensed someone in the lounge. The lounge, which was usually empty, had a blonde elf sitting on the sofa, staring blankly out the window.
“Lilsne.”
“Ah, Master. You’re back. Did things go well?”
Lilsne reacted. She had been spacing out a lot since Sung Yoojin disappeared.
Kang Myungjin shook his head.
“Unfortunately, it didn’t go well. The Baldert Duchy is in even more chaos than we are. Some nobles are fiercely criticizing the Baldert Duchy and have started a zone war. The Baldert Duchy is getting weaker. They said they don’t have the resources to support us again.”
“…The Baldert Duchy is in trouble too.”
“It’s a historic duchy of the Ustia Empire. It won’t collapse just because it’s shaken now, so we don’t need to worry about it.”
“Yes, that’s true. What’s the next schedule?”
“We’re scheduled to attack Zone 165 with the Exceville Legion in a month.”
“Isn’t a month a bit tight for preparation?”
“We’re just support. The Exceville Legion is the main force attacking Zone 165.”
“If we’re just support, there won’t be much for me to do. But I’ll do my best to prepare.”
“I’m counting on you.”
Kang Myungjin looked around and headed to the training grounds.
As always, Joo Seo-hyun occupied the training grounds. Joo Seo-hyun was so engrossed in her training that she didn’t notice Kang Myungjin’s arrival.
Joo Seo-hyun swung her sword in the air. It was a clean sword strike that impressed Kang Myungjin. Kang Myungjin was lost in thought for a moment, watching her swordsmanship.
‘If I fought Joo Seo-hyun, it would be hard to reach a quick conclusion. I might have to fight for at least an hour. Victory… I can’t guarantee it.’
For the past six months, Joo Seo-hyun had trained without a single break. She spent more than 16 hours a day solely on training.
“…What brings you here?”
Joo Seo-hyun, having lowered her sword, asked Kang Myungjin.
“I just stopped by. I can spar with you if you want.”
“…Spar? No, not right now.”
Kang Myungjin sensed that something was different. If it were the usual Joo Seo-hyun, she would have wanted a spar without hesitation. She would have rushed at him like a wild horse, wielding her sword like a madwoman.
But the current Joo Seo-hyun was calm. Her eyes were coldly focused, as if she was looking at a certain goal.
“Joo Seo-hyun, I have something important to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“I want you to take the position of sub-master. I considered Yoo Inha and Ji Youngbin, but… their combat abilities are too low to be sub-masters.”
“I refuse.”
The answer that came back was firm.
“…Why? Being a sub-master doesn’t mean doing difficult tasks. You just need to pay a little more attention to legion management.”
“It’s a position I’ll have to give up when that guy comes back anyway. I have no intention of taking on a bothersome position like sub-master when the end is already decided.”
Kang Myungjin closed his mouth. Joo Seo-hyun’s words were filled with conviction, unlike before. She genuinely believed that Sung Yoojin would return.
Puzzled, Kang Myungjin had no choice but to ask her.
“Do you believe Sung Yoojin is alive?”
“She’s alive, so I have no choice but to believe it.”
“……”
Her answer was different from before. Before, she had flatly said she didn’t know. Instead of questioning Joo Seo-hyun, Kang Myungjin used his Eye of Insight. It was much faster that way.
「Name: Joo Seo-hyun
Class: Avenger
Title: One Who Holds Revenge
Seat: Black Revenge
Affiliation: RT 118 Earth
Strength: 79 Agility: 84 Stamina: 71 Mana: 64 Luck: 6
Unique Trait: Sword Master (SS)
Trait: Avenger (B)
Skills: Time of Revenge (A), Mark of Revenge (S), Sword Control (B), Vow of Revenge (S)」
‘Strength, agility, and stamina have increased again. Is it the effect of Sword Master (SS) and Vow of Revenge (S), which ranked up a few months ago…? A terrifying growth rate.’
Vow of Revenge (S). Thanks to the growth acceleration skill, she had grown so much even with minimal elixirs.
‘If I leave her alone, she might catch up to my stats within a year.’
Then his gaze turned to Mark of Revenge (S).
A skill that could locate the target of revenge.
‘It was A-rank, but it has risen to S-rank.’
After Sung Yoojin fell into the hell zone, Joo Seo-hyun couldn’t locate her even when activating Mark of Revenge (A). But now that it was S-rank, it would be different.
“…Did the Mark of Revenge react to Sung Yoojin?”
Joo Seo-hyun nodded. Her gaze was directed elsewhere, not at Kang Myungjin.
“That’s right. The Mark of Revenge showed me the direction where that guy is.”
“You seem happy. Are you that glad that Sung Yoojin is alive?”
“Of course. I can only kill her if she’s alive.”
Joo Seo-hyun’s body radiated killing intent. Kang Myungjin took a step back. He didn’t know what kind of relationship Joo Seo-hyun and Sung Yoojin had. However, what was certain was that their talents were among the highest in Atlantis.
Joo Seo-hyun smiled.
It should be said that she was filled with murderous intent, but in the past six months since Sung Yoojin went missing, Joo Seo-hyun had never smiled once. Was it just a smile because she could take revenge on Sung Yoojin with her own hands? Kang Myungjin had a feeling that it wasn’t.
“I got good information. I’ll be going now. What are you going to do?”
“I’ll focus on training.”
“I understand.”
Kang Myungjin left the training grounds.
Joo Seo-hyun stood blankly, glancing sideways to make sure Kang Myungjin had left, and then used Mark of Revenge (S).
「Activating Mark of Revenge.」
「Mark of Revenge is reacting. You can sense the direction of the target.」
It was a confirmation she had done countless times. And this time, too, she felt Sung Yoojin’s presence without fail.
‘Sung Yoojin…!’
Grind.
She gritted her teeth. Feeling her body heat up, she took off her training clothes without hesitation. On her lower body was a chastity belt that she hadn’t taken off for six months.
‘Sung Yoojin! You put this on me and tried to run away? Don’t make me laugh… I’ll make you pay the price.’
Joo Seo-hyun grabbed her chest. Whenever her body, which had been developed by Sung Yoojin, heated up, she would rub her chest to relieve her sexual desire. Originally, she wanted to touch her vagina, but the chastity belt refused her touch.
“Haa, haa… Hng….”
She rubbed her full breasts and pulled on her erect nipples. As her nipples stretched, pleasure came. But it wasn’t enough. Her nipples alone couldn’t calm her heated body.
Joo Seo-hyun grabbed her sword. She struck the chastity belt with the hilt of her sword.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
“Hng! Hng, haa!!”
A small dildo attached to the chastity belt was inserted into her vagina and anus, and the shaking of the chastity belt gave her sexual pleasure.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
“Hng, hng!!”
In fact, she could remove the chastity belt now. Because of her unique trait, Sword Master (SS), she could use sword energy for a short time. But she didn’t remove the chastity belt.
‘Sung Yoojin, I’ll defeat you and take off this chastity belt.’
She would defeat Sung Yoojin and get the key to remove the chastity belt.
Joo Seo-hyun had already decided that.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
“Ah, aaaaaah!”
An orgasm that made her head spin came. Joo Seo-hyun collapsed, letting out a moan. Her knees, which had fallen to the floor, spread apart, and she couldn’t put any strength into her waist. Her full breasts were pressed against the ground haphazardly.
Joo Seo-hyun’s face was visible through her hair. Her eyes were unfocused, and saliva dripped from her panting mouth.
Trickle.
Clear liquid flowed from the chastity belt to the floor. It was ordinary water, with the urine components removed by the chastity belt’s function.
“Su, Sung Yoojin…! I’ll ki, kill you… Haaaaaaang!”
Twitch, twitch.
Her prone body continued to tremble for a while.
