Ruler of the Game 145

Chapter 145 – How to Become an Alchemist

Seong-il, who thought so, penetrates between the subordinates in a state of transparency, enters Hendrick’s panic room, and quietly hides in the corner of the room.

“That… Five or six enemies set fire to the outside, and it looks like three have invaded the inside as well!!”

“Then it’s okay to keep it, what’s the problem? You stupid bastards!! Are you guys going to spread the word about me here?!”

“Ugh…”

A subordinate who was speechless at such Hendrick’s torch. As he stood there blankly without saying anything, a heavily armed man next to him sighed and answered on his behalf.

“I’m sorry. Mr. Hendrick. However, the captain of the guards requested the defense support of the two in preparation for an unexpected attack, so we came here. We also came here according to the order, so don’t be angry.”

“Hmm…”

Hendrick gritted his teeth and shut his mouth at the man’s words. Behind him, Edward speaks to Hendrick.

“Stop it. Those friends came here to do their own thing, so why? I just want them to know that we’re fine.”

“Not anymore?”

“!!”

Edward is frightened by the sudden sound of a man’s voice coming from the corner of the room.

“You… What are you?!”

“I don’t need to know.”

After saying that, Seong-il took out a black ball from his bosom and dropped it right in front of his eyes. He uses the invisibility magic of the last remaining ring and disappears like his ghost.

Took…!!

“What?!”

When Edward is embarrassed by an intruder who suddenly appeared and disappeared and a fallen marble, an intense light radiated from the marble, and a black-clad figure wearing a mask appeared in front of him.

“…!!”

“Oh my? Are you that Edward?”

“You… What are you! Cheeky…!”

As he runs out of words, the escorts immediately draw knives from their bosoms and begin brandishing their weapons at the new intruder.

“You buggers…”

As if it was very annoying, Eun-wol spreads her palms and performs a jangbeom for the escorts behind her. It was an insignificant gesture, but a terrible energy emanated from her hands and exploded at them.

“Khehe…!”

The escorts fall down with black blood pouring from their noses and mouths when they are directly hit by the black energy. Shocked by the horrific sight, the escorts instantly froze and stood in a daze.

“Huh… If it was originally, I would have made it rot and rot and killed it… Young master said that if possible, don’t kill, so I won’t kill you.”

“!!”

After saying that, she moves between enemies with her invisible body movements, slaying them with fearsome dark energy.

“Monster…! It’s a monster…!!”

Frightened by Eunwol’s monstrous behavior, Hendrick takes a leather ball from his bosom and throws it on the floor, causing the ball to explode.

Pew!!

Then, black gas filled the room. After detonating a gas grenade that looks like a smoke bomb, he puts on a mask and leads Edward to a secret passage hidden under the desk and begins to escape.

‘Where!!’

And Seong-il chases after him. He began to pursue them with the power of the magic mask attached to the mask.

‘Hmm… You’re using the smoke screen + mask combo that Euphthesia told you about as her exclusive patent the previous time…’

Strictly speaking, the smoke screen wasn’t written by Hendrick, not by himself, so it wasn’t a combo, but Seong-il chases after them, thinking that good is good.

‘I’m going with the black ball in my hand, so if I get too far away from Eunwol, I’ll be reverse summoned on my own…?’

Her problem was that if they got too far away, they couldn’t summon her until she was forced to reverse summon them, but Seong-il, believing in her own skills, quickly begins to track them down.

“Whoop… Whoop…!”

“What happened?!”

“I don’t know! Elder…!”

“Damn it… What is that monster? If I had known this would happen, I would have brought in a wizard or a high-ranking knight even if it cost a lot of money… I would have never thought that a monster like that would have participated in a back alley war…”

“Yeah… It seems like Pirina’s junior is a subordinate of the eastern guy.”

“That savage? Come to think of it, that bastard is always interfering with my work!! What the hell is he doing?”

Even while he was frantically running through the secret passage, Edward pondered and thought about the holy day.

“Hey! Hendrick.”

“Yes. Elder…!”

“Once you move to a safe place, do a background check on that eastern guy. He’s suspicious…”

To his words, Hendrick also nodded and replied.

“All right…!”

And after a long run, a fairly wide sewer and a raft pop out in front of them.

“Whoa… Looks like you’ve been ostracized.”

The time when Hendrick and Edward walk in the direction of the ship, taking their breath away.

Awesome…!!

A masked man jumps out of the empty space and slaps Hendrick in the face.

“Khehe…!”

Unprotected, he gets hit right in the face, and he is blown into the wall, feeling terrible pain and his face being shattered.

“!!”

And Seong-il, who subdued Hendrick in an instant, looks at Edward and speaks to him while taking the ceremony for the bankruptcy priesthood.

“Hi?”

Edward stares blankly at Seong-il with an expression as if he has seen a ghost when he sees Seong-il popping out of the air and subduing Hendrick.

“Do you want to follow me right? Or do you want to follow me quietly?”

“…A cheeky bastard.”

Edward hardens his expression and draws a sword from his bosom at Seongil’s words, which are so maddening. Seeing him like that, Seong-il laughs and then gestures to him and talks to him.

“Oh~ You want to fight? Come on.”

At the provocation of such a holy day, he grits his teeth and starts swinging his sword.

‘How are you…? This bastard still looks like someone who learned swordsmanship, right?’

Seong-il admires Edward’s knife skills, which are in their own way. He tries to dodge his attack as best he can.

“Die!!”

Edward brandishes his sword with a wild roar. He picks up a sharpened shortsword and attempts a sharp knife at Seong-il’s face.

Cheew!!

A sharp knife cut across Seongil’s face. Even though Seong-il has strengthened his body by raising his internal energy, his cheek is slightly cut by his sharp sword.

‘Sheesh… I need to get a sword quickly, won…’

Thinking so, he activates Haste’s imprint and doubles the body’s speed.

Seong-il then sideways dodges Edward’s blade from top to bottom, shakes his body from the attack, and strikes his right hand like lightning at his side, where the vital part is open.

“Khehe…!”

Unable to handle the impact of the mighty fist thrust into his side, the guy collapsed in the direction his fist was swung.

“Khehe… Khehe…”

The guy knelt down with a painful expression on his stomach as if his intestines had been shaken from being beaten in the stomach, and he exhaled heavily.

Then, Seong-il stretches out his hand and forms it into the shape of a sword, then slaps his neck vigorously.

Baek!!

The intense shock echoed in his cervical vertebrae made Edward faint on the spot.

“Whoa… It’s over. I wonder if Eunwol will be okay…”

“Yes. It’s fine.”

A familiar voice suddenly echoed behind him. Seongil was frightened by the voice and answered.

“Hee!! How long have you been here?!”

“Eh? Around the time when Gongja-nim proudly held the ceremony for the priesthood of bankruptcy?”

“…But why didn’t you help and watch!?”

“Huh… I was curious about how well Gongja-nim fights? By the way, your martial arts proficiency has gone up quite a bit, right?”

“Yeah. It’s only 1 star if you’re lame, but…”

“Oh~ 1 star!!”

Eun-wol nodded with a very proud expression at Seong-il’s words. As if she was complimenting her, she continued her words to Seongil.

“It’s great! Even though it’s 1 star, it’s amazing just to gain heart! It’s said that starting is half, right?”

“…Uh. Thank you.”

Seong-il puts on a puzzled expression at her words, which are obviously compliments but don’t sound like compliments. Eun-wol, whether aware of his feelings or not, takes off her mask and approaches Seong-il with a beautiful face and a bright smile and embraces him.

“I hope you get stronger soon so that you can travel around Moorim with me!”

At Eun-wol’s words, Seong-il smiled shyly, and she replied by untangling her embrace.

“Of course it should. Let’s finish what we’ve been doing for now! Let’s catch these guys first!”

“Yes!!”

After saying that, Eun-wol immediately tied them up with the rope Seong-il gave her. Seong-il, seeing that the tying was completed, took out another ring from her bosom and looked into the air at her.

‘It’s a shame… But I can’t help it.’

Seong-il feels sorry for the use of the portal ring, which has a one-month cooldown. However, she began to open the portal, thinking that this was the only way to keep the two giants safe from outside eyes.

Shortly after Seong-il’s concentration, she sees a portal that opens in front of his eyes. He throws the captured Edward and Hendrick into the portal and tells Eun-wol.

“Let’s go!”

“Yes!”

Having said that, they returned to Pirina’s guild through the portal, and Seong-il locked them in a secret room, gagged them, and told Eun-wol.

“Phew… I had a hard time.”

“No. It was nothing!”

“Haha… Then it’s good. Let’s stop here for now. If we need help again next time, I’ll call you.”

“A promise?”

Seong-il approaches Eun-wol, who smiles innocently at himself, and she gives her a light hug before saying goodbye.

“See you later!”

After putting Eun-wol, who smiles at him until the end, into a black ball, Seong-il takes off her mask and leaves the secret room to move to Pirina’s residence.

“Uh?”

Pirina looks very surprised when Seong-il, who had obviously gone to ambush Hendrick, suddenly enters her residence. To her, Seong-il made a nonchalant expression and spoke to her.

“Hello~ Good night? How was the operation?”

“…Well, it wasn’t a serious attack. We staged an appropriately attacking demonstration, but when it seemed like it was going to overheat, we retreated all at once. Thanks to that, there wasn’t much damage.”

“Ohhh! That’s right!”

“By the way… The result of infiltration?”

“It’s a success.”

“!!”

Surprisingly, Pirina looks shocked at Seongil’s words that the infiltration was successful. Then she approaches her Seong-il and asks.

“Oh my God… I never really thought it would work…”

“Look at that. Do you believe me?”

“Whoops… I should have done that, but the concubine didn’t know the subject? By the way, where are they…?”

“Oh, I’m locked in my room. Do you want to go see it?”

“What?! You left such important people without guards?!”

Shocked, Pirina quickly picks up her weapon and runs to his room with Seong-il. As she hurriedly rushed into Seongil’s room, Hendrick and Edward, still unconscious and tied to the floor, appeared in front of her.

“Whoa… Next time, be sure to call someone in so they can monitor you. Okay?”

“Oh sorry..”

“Huh… For now…”

Having said that, Pirina draws out her shortsword, then swings her sword without hesitation and puts the knife through Hendrick’s neck.

“Khehe…!”

After passing out, Hendrick woke up feeling great pain from the cold blade stuck in his neck. Seeing him like that, Pirina spoke to her.

“Hello? You trash bastard?”

“Khehe… Kehe…”

Hendrick looking at her with her horrified eyes as she bleeds from her throat in her agony. Looking at him like that, Pirina replied.

“This baby. Did you think you could touch my possession and survive?”

“Kehe…”

Hendrick’s throat was pierced by a knife, and instead of answering, he only let out a moan of death. Looking at him, Pirina smiled very brightly and continued her words.

“You bastard. By the way, I’m going to find your concubines and illegitimate children, drug them all, and then sell them to the slave market. Do you understand?”

“Kehe!!”

As he lies dying, Hendrick looks at Pirina with her pleading expression. Pirina continues her mockery towards him.

“Nothing. Goodbye?”

After saying that, Pirina mercilessly makes fun of her sword. In the end, Hendrick died shortly after her merciless departure.

‘…It’s bloody.’

Seong-il became bitter as if he had seen the cruel nature of Pirina, who could be called the queen of the night world in Adenheim. Then he asked Pirina.

“…You really would do that to Hendrick’s people?”

“No?”

“Huh? Then why…?”

“A drug trafficker can’t make the road easier for that bastard. I’m not that reckless.”

“…Huh.”

“By the way, what will Edward do?”

At Pirina’s words, her Seong-il thought to get rid of him herself in order to complete her quest. After thinking one thing, she answered her.
