Chapter 140 – How to Become an Alchemist
“Silver escort. Can you beat them up so that they never fight for months without killing or maiming them?”
“Well… It’s annoying, but I don’t think there’s anything I can’t do. Master Young master.”
Looking at the two, Pirina asked.
“…You really want to attack the base alone…?”
“Yes. I really will. The time I get help from the silver escort is only two or three times at most, including today. I have to use it right away.”
“Huh… I think it’s dangerous…”
Pirina looks at Seongil with a worried expression. Seeing her like that, her Seongil holds the metal cup in front of her in her hand and starts squeezing it.
Uguk…!!
Then, the metal cup was crushed like a piece of paper. Pirina looks at him with her eyes wide open at the monstrous strength of such a holy day. And she looked at Pirina like that and answered with a smile that her holy day.
“Don’t worry. As you can see, I’m not weak enough to get hit everywhere. And I’m going to check the police, and I won’t participate in the actual battle. The silver escort in front of me will do everything.”
“Huh… Then how are you going to attack?”
“It’s like I said before. There’s a high possibility that public power will be put in if you start a random killing battle… Rather than killing the enemy, beat them halfway and lose their combat power. Let’s break away from the force until the guild war is over.”
“Hmm… You’re right… Fighting is harder to subdue than killing… You’re so confident…?”
“Yeah. To be honest, the level of our enemies is, at best, only janitors. I’m sorry for Pirina, but compared to our family’s elite warrior, the silver escort, they’re mere children.”
Pirina sighs at the answer of her sacristy, who is so confident in her. Then she answers her holy days.
“Whoa… I don’t have anything to say if you’re that confident… But take my subordinates with you.”
“Hmm… Then it’ll be even more annoying if Piri or your men die. We’ll just do it ourselves.”
At her resolute refusal of the holy day, Pirina smiled bitterly and continued to persuade him.
“If that’s the case, let them wait near enemy lines. As Young master said, when the operation succeeds, let’s capture the enemy guild members who are unable to fight.”
When Pirina said that, Seong-il couldn’t just blindly reject her opinion, so he reluctantly nodded her head in the affirmative.
That night.
Seong-il and Eun-wol moved with 10 of Pirina’s key subordinates to Hendrick’s key stronghold on the northern shore of the Aden River.
“Now… Everyone, please wait here. We’ll give you a signal when we subdue them all.”
With a puzzled expression on Seongil’s words, a rice cake stick is served to him.
“That… Seongil-nim. Didn’t you say that the ‘Silver Guard’ would do all the battles anyway? Why would Seongil-sama even go to a dangerous place…”
The rice cake stand’s restraint, as if he had been ordered by Pirina to escort her on her holy day. At his remark, Seong-il quietly gathers energy into his fist and then punches the wall with his fist.
Quaang!!
Then it turned to powder and smashed the wall. Standing next to the smashed wall, Seong-il shows off his strength by gathering his inner strength and answers to the next rice cake stand.
“Where and how is it dangerous?”
It wasn’t as ferocious as Eunwol, but it was an overwhelming spirit of the holy day that could never be ignored. Tteokdae was overwhelmed by the intimidation and began to answer in a trembling voice.
“Uh… Um… That… Above… Danger…”
“Stop talking nonsense, if the signal flare is fired, come and prepare to arrest the enemies. Got it?”
“Yes? Yes…”
At Seong-il’s murderous tone, which seems like he’ll beat you up if you say no, he can’t reply and eventually expresses an affirmative answer.
Seong-il smiles at him and then puts on a mask and talks to Eun-wol.
“Let’s go. Silver escort.”
“Yes! Young master.”
They cross the bridge over the river and move to a dark place. When Pirina’s guild members are nowhere to be seen, Eunwol now asks him.
“Um… Gongja-nim, are you really going with me?”
“No, I’m not going to go ‘directly’ because it’s just a burden to follow along. Just experiment…”
“…Experiment?”
Eun-wol puts on a bewildered expression when Seong-il talks about an experiment out of the blue. Seeing her like that, Seong-il smiles at her and takes out three small jeweled dolls from her arms.
“Ah…!”
Eunwol’s exclamation as if she sensed something. Seong-il nods her head in admiration and begins to explain.
“That’s right. I’m going to use the clone technique I used last time. One will be used to watch you through sense sharing. I’m going to order the other two to take action and put them into battle.”
“Ohh…”
“It doesn’t matter if my alter ego is damaged, so if it’s against you, I don’t mind destroying it. So, show off your skills to the fullest.”
“Whoa..! Got it! I’ll show you my skills!”
After saying that, Eun-wol waits for Seong-il to create her alter ego, and when the three egos are completed, they lead them to attack the enemy base.
Quaang!!
And soon after, there is an intense explosion sound like a bomb exploding, and Seong-il, who hears it, hurries to focus on her automata and begins to share her senses.
‘Connect quickly…!!’
Seong-il is full of impatience, wanting to see the automata’s performance. He is highly focused and focuses his entire mind on the cold of the automata. OK…
‘See!!’
A fierce battle unfolds before Seongil’s eyes. The automata that connected the senses jumped up to a high place in the corner of the building as ordered by Seong-il and were preparing to observe Eun-wol and the other automata’s battle.
“What… What!!”
“Is it an intruder? Cheeky bastards…!”
A group of thieves armed with weapons that seemed to number 40 to 50 at least. Embarrassed by the first surprise attack, they gather allies and take a vigilant posture.
However, over time, the thieves, realizing that there are only three intruders, take out their weapons and begin to actively deal with the invasion of enemies.
“Are these bastards crazy?”
A thug who sees three people who have invaded his stronghold so confidently, he is bewildered. Seeing him like that, Eun-wol smiles viciously and rushes like lightning to get out of the water.
Baek!
Even though it was only a slight blow with the back of the hand, the thief hit by Eunwol’s attack was blown about 3m away and crashed into a wall. Seeing her attack, the frightened gangsters raise their weapons and try to surprise her from behind.
Quaang!!
Eunwol, who raises her feet in their siege and slams them on the ground. Then, as if an earthquake occurred around her, a tremendous wave of shock swept through the hall. And her thieves surrounding her begin to roll on the floor in that intense shock.
“You buggers.”
After muttering that, Eun-wol performs her ghost-like footwork, moves unseen by her enemies, and begins to subdue them by striking them in the back of the neck with her sword.
“No… Nonsense!!”
The thieves, frightened by Eun-wol’s overwhelming inaction and floundering in the air, slashing at random. Laughing at them, Eunwol slashes the abdomen with a long magic trick toward the most aggressive thief among them.
“Kwuk…”
The thief fell to the floor vomiting after feeling his intestines being shaken by Eunwol’s burial. The thieves who saw it lost their will to fight due to the overwhelming difference in their skills and started to escape through the entrance.
“A monster… A monster!!”
“Fuck…! Bounce!!”
Thieves start running away in all directions. And as if they had waited for them, the automata settled down at each entrance, took the ceremony of the bankrupt priesthood, and started to ruthlessly exit.
Wow…!
The automata of Holy Day, who first lightly evades the thief’s cutting edge and then swings his fist to blow off the thief’s jawline.
The punch was so fierce that you could see blood and teeth flying in the air from the thief’s mouth that had been beaten by his fist.
‘Oh… The power of the martial arts of automata is no different from mine, right? In the end, the important thing is the quality of the jewels and the amount of magic charge that enable martial arts?’
Seong-il admires the outstanding performance of the automata. He enjoys watching the battles in the field with pleasure.
As if the excitement of such a holy day had been delivered, the automata began to stir the battlefield more actively.
Pooh!!
But was it because he took the offensive too aggressively? The cold automata is pierced through the stomach by a surprise thief’s rearguard attack, rendering it incapacitated.
Hey hey…!
Then acrid smoke erupted from the body, and the automata shrank as if it were melting. In such a bizarre situation, the thieves, who should have been happy to subdue the enemy, exclaimed in fright.
“Devils… Devils!! Devils!!”
“Yes… Yes!! Those demons wearing ghost masks!! Seeing black smoke coming out of their hands, they must be demons…!”
Starting from that cry, the thieves run amok and try to escape to the entrance like mad.
“Are you crawling like bugs?”
As if laughing at the thieves, Eun-wol performs ghost-like movements and jumps high into the air, then tramples the thieves with her feet and runs through the air.
“Khehe…!”
As the thieves were trampled on and subdued one by one in that way, Seong-il cut off the sensory connection with the automata, set off firecrackers in his arms to give a signal to his allies, and stood at the entrance of the enemy base.
“Hee…! Hee…!”
A single thief runs out in fear, saliva dripping from his mouth. He barely gets out of the scene of the fight and tries to escape.
“Hi?”
“Hey Ii!!”
When the masked devil, whom he had previously seen inside, greeted him at the entrance, the thief was frightened and fell to the floor in a panic. Seeing him like that, Seong-il smiles and beats him in the face with his foot to subdue him.
Baek!!
“Kek!”
By the time you subdue the two or three thieves who escaped through the entrance in that way, the rice cake sticks that dried Seongil earlier and their men appear at the entrance.
“Ser… Really?”
A rice cake with an expression of disbelief. Seong-il smiles at him and starts answering.
“Yes. I’m almost done. Stay calm and watch the entrance with me for a while and take care of the rats escaping.”
“Yes!”
Recognizing Seongil’s intentions, Tteokdae glanced at his subordinates around him, and they quickly spread around the building, forming a tight siege.
And soon after, Eun-wol, wearing a ghost mask, starts walking out of the scene as if coming out of a drink.
“It’s over. Gongja.”
“Ah…! Good job. Guys, why don’t you go inside and catch them?”
At Seong-il’s words, both you and me rush into the scene and arrest and subdue the thieves lying inside one by one.
“Huh… It’s nothing.”
“Yeah, it was boring.
When Seong-il replied, Eun-wol glared at Seong-il and replied.
“…Apart from that, Young master’ alter ego was attacked by them?”
“…Since it’s fake, let’s move on.”
While they were chatting like that, Pirina’s men grabbed the smuggling boat that had been dragged along the river and captured the enemies, and when the work was over, they talked to Seong-il.
“Sungil-nim. The work is over. Get on the boat.”
At his words, Seong-il nodded his head lightly instead of answering, boarded the ship, and left the scene.
Seong-il and Eun-wol return to Pirina’s base on a secret smuggling ship with them.
Pirina, who saw the two of them, was astonished and answered him.
“…Did you really subdue so many enemies just the two of you?”
“Yeah. When did I ever tell you nonsense, Madam Piri? If you don’t believe me, ask her men behind her.”
“Ah… I didn’t mean that…”
Contrary to what she said, Pirina looked at her own subordinate, and her rice cake stand, which had stopped her earlier, quickly came to her side and whispered to her.
And once again, Pirina puts on a shocked expression.
“Wow… The silver guard brought by Young master is truly a warrior of great skill. I’ve never heard of someone with such skill in my life.”
At Pirina’s admiration, Seong-il tells her that she feels better as if she had been praised.
“I told you. I will bring you a really trustworthy ally. In the worst case scenario, I will use a silver escort, so don’t worry and prepare for the guild war.”
“…Thank you.”
