(Chapter 2 Volume 6)
Clang!
The Saber God threw and broke everything that was able to be thrown in his room . But his anger didn’t settle . Instead, he felt more anxious .
But even in this moment, his son was captured . He didn’t know how he was being tortured, or if he was being threatened .
He didn’t know how his weak son, his son who was always sick, was bearing with everything .
But he didn’t have power . To ignore Sword God, or to take the stone from Leonte .
The fact that he was a bad father made him feel wronged . And he felt so sorry to his son . If only his son’s father was a bit stronger, he wouldn’t have to go through all this suffering .
At that moment . Knock knock .
Someone knocked on his office’s door . The Saber God’s swiveled towards that direction . He was locked in his room so without permission, no one could enter his room . But who was it?
And the presence suddenly disappeared like it never existed . It meant that the stranger’s skill wasn’t below his .
‘Perhaps?’
The Saber God shivered . A bad feeling swept past him . It was the same feeling when he opened the box his son’s finger was in .
The Saber God frantically opened the door .
And he was right . The same box as before was waiting for him .
Again?
The Saber God fell to his knees and grabbed the box . The box didn’t easily open because of his trembling fingers .
And when he saw what was inside, the Saber God couldn’t keep his cool .
The eye of his son was looking back at him .
With a note .
If you want to find your son . Bring the ‘stone . ’
It was the same handwriting as before, and the same information was before .
“Ackkk!”
The Saber God couldn’t hold it in and screamed . His reason was already far gone .
His bloodshot eyes became bitter . Magic energy floated around him .
“S, Saber God-nim . ”
Madodan quickly ran at him after hearing the commotion . Seeing the appearance of the Saber God they knew and respected, they paused .
A magic explosion .
“You . ”
“Yes . ”
“You . . Whose… . side are you on?”
The team leader swallowed . The moment he met the Saber God’s eyes, he knew what he meant .
Also, the fact that his fate would be changed based on what happened here .
And the answer was already chosen for him . Even if he knew it was wrong .
The team leader fell to one knee .
“Since the time you saved me… . I’ve always been your sword . Why would a sword have the ability to think?”
The Saber God’s eyes coldly shined .
“Then . Gather the children . When it becomes night, we’re going to start a revolution . ”
“The Saber God has begun to move . Cain, thanks to you, things are going smooth . ”
Bahal laughed and Yeon-woo’s eyes shined .
“Did you plant a spy on that side?”
Bahal smirked . He seemed cold .
“Should I teach you something?”
“There’s nowhere the Red Dragon doesn’t have eyes or ears . ”
“They’re everywhere . Really, everywhere . ”
Bahal lightly chuckled and twirled the glass of wine he had been drinking .
Probably because he was so happy, his nose was slightly red .
He was drunk enough to disappear after a flick of magic power, but right now, he seemed to want to enjoy the moment .
Yeon-woo refilled his glass . And accepted the wine given to him .
“Anyway, this is all thanks to you . Everyone in the conference room was complimenting you too . And setting up a new strategy . Also . ”
Bahal set his wineglass down on the table . The wine tipped over the edge, and a part of it was spilt .
“Then everything will end . The war . And even Cheonghwado . ”
Bahal’s eyes burned up .
He was well-known for his constantly smiling face, unfitting of his nickname, ‘Flaming Fist,’ but right now, his steady and flaming eyes were shining, completely fitting of his name .
“And after that, my reputation will be set in stone . All the crazy bastards who called me a betrayer will be regretting it . Also, you’ll be streamlined for promotion . It’ll be a win-win situation for both of us . Only good things in our future . ”
“From now on, let’s keep on growing together . Me in the front, and you in the back . I’ll pull, and you push . How’s that? Isn’t that a nice picture?”
Bahal laughed again .
Like he was over the moon . And like these moments were waiting for him in the future .
Also . Yeon-woo remembered seeing this in the diary .
It was when Arthia was first made .
The image of his brother, Bahal, Leonte, Henova, and the rest of the original members laughing happily, drinking wine .
His brother kept that memory in his heart until he died .
However . Bahal seemed to have thrown away all those memories already . Guilt aside, he looked like he forgot about everything .
He only desired promotions and power, and he wanted to step on everyone below him .
And using his past comrades to do that didn’t make him feel a thing .
Yeon-woo knew he was talking about himself like he was his savior, but he knew once his usefulness was gone, he was going to be thrown away .
And so .
Yeon-woo couldn’t smile in front of the laughing Bahal . He had never been more grateful he was wearing his mask .
‘He said it was somewhere?’
And so Yeon-woo muttered to himself inwardly .
‘In Arthia . He probably meant it was you . From the beginning . ’
Yeon-woo returned to his room . Inside, Phante and Edora were waiting for him .
“You’ve returned? How was the drinking? It was one with the Supreme Commander, so I’m sure there were girls and… . . ”
“Oraboni?”
“Ahem . Anyway, did you get anything?”
Phante coughed after seeing Edora glaring at him . And he narrowed his eyes and asked .
“It’s like what I expected . The Saber God will be jumping around like his feet are on fire, and Cheonghwado will be split . Red Dragon won’t miss that chance and start their attack . ”
“Hehe . Now I’m finally free . ”
Phante snorted and spoke .
He wasn’t feeling too good that he wasn’t able to go to the 16th floor with Yeon-woo, and now thinking about being able to run free made him feel a lot better .
And the Foreign Legion had made a great impact on the strategy this time, so they had received permission to take care of it .
However, unlike the happy Phante, Edora had slightly concerned eyes .
She understood Yeon-woo’s intention to catch the Saber God, but she was worried that the situation was too much for him to handle now .
Actually, it didn’t matter whether or not the situation was too much . She was just worried that it would get out of hand for Yeon-woo .
But she knew how detailed Yeon-woo was, so she was less worried . However, she wasn’t able to help him, or know exactly what he was planning .
The most important thing to her, at the end, was Yeon-woo’s safety .
But if she expressed it, Yeon-woo would only say he was okay . He never let anyone know what was on his mind .
That was what was happening this time, too .
Phante and Edora headed over to where Team 2 was expecting, waiting for the command to attack to fall .
Everyone was on edge because they had already received orders to be ready .
During that time .
Yeon-woo calmly meditated in his room alone .
In the room that was given to players that were at least of the team leader’s position, people couldn’t see inside that easily . However, he still used his magic power just in case and completely blocked out the outside .
‘Before we leave . I need to prepare . ’
Bringing Hanbin had already readied the game board, and Bahal was ready to break the game board now .
And once he got what he wanted and threw away what he didn’t need .
Yeon-woo needed to get ready for that . And preparing for that required .
‘Strengthening of all my power . ’
He needed to pull up everything he had .
Yeon-woo got out his interdimensional pocket . Everything he had done from the 12th to the 15th, making the mercenaries gather all the hidden pieces, was all for this moment .
“Come out . ”
As he entered magic power into the Black Bracelet on his right wrist, his bracelet trembled and started to spread an ashy fog .
And the ashy fog began to gather into a loose shape .
Boo bowed to him .
[Gre…etings…to my… . . m…aster . ]
Was it because he was originally a player? Unlike the other Soul Familiars, Boo was somewhat able to speak now .
Although it was only a few words here and there .
But that became the reason why Yeon-woo chose Boo .
‘From now on, what I’m going to do requires something that can think at least a little bit for himself . ’
Yeon-woo had only read about it in the diary, and never actually tried it out .
“From now on, I’m going to give you items in order . Absorb them in the order I give them to you . Be careful that not even a slightest bit of magic power leaks out .
[I… . . understand . ]
“Be warned . If even a little leaks out, everything will be ruined . ”
[I… . . understand . ]
Boo nodded with certainty .
Yeon-woo was a little worried, but he believed in the power of the Black Bracelet .
Absolute loyalty .
With this, the Soul Familiars always showed a strength that was unimaginable .
Especially when he ruined the alliances of the clans, they had shown incredible strength .
‘The order is 2 of Jewel of Fires, 5 Ice Crystals, 9 Golden Flowers… . ’
Yeon-woo gave the hidden pieces to Boo in the order that they were in the diary .
Boo began to absorb them without any suspicion . Like when he swallowed the spirit beads .
[Boo (Soul of the Witch Doctor) has successfully absorbed the 2 of the Jewel of Fire . ]
[Fire property increased by 1 . ]
[Fire property increased by 3 . ]
Yeon-woo carefully took the hidden pieces out in order . If there was even the slightest mistake, he had to do it all over again from the beginning .
The mercenaries got a lot of hidden pieces for him, but there was no need to use more than what was necessary .
Also, after Boo became stronger, he needed to use it on the other Soul Familiars as well .
‘If this works, Boo will evolve to a greater level than before . ’
Yeon-woo didn’t blink looking at Boo . Watching with his Draconic Eyes to make sure there wasn’t any magic power creeping out .
What Yeon-woo wanted right now was Boo’s evolution .
Bayluk called the result of his endless experimentation ‘Strengthening Item . ’
Like its name, it was a power that strengthened power .
However, the rest of us shook our heads seeing that . We knew it wasn’t simply something that strengthened us .
The Strengthening item, after using the blood of monsters, bodily parts, and countless hidden pieces, had the ability to even change the ‘foundation . ’
