Chapter 334 – Descendants of the Monkey King (9)
『Kahn!』
Victoria ran forward to hug Kahn, but her body passed through his .
『This is……?』
『A shadow he left behind . 』
Yeon-woo muttered, watching the fading Kahn . It was an illusion made using the 72 Bian . Taking into consideration the trick Kahn left in the letter, it seemed Kahn was better than Yeon-woo in Bian Studies .
Kahn’s shadow smiled bitterly and lowered himself to look Victoria in the eye .
『Are you alright, Noona?』
『You……!』
『Sorry I left in a rush back then . But I guess I’m a lucky person, huh? I have friends who’ll jump into danger for me . 』
Kahn laughed brightly like his usual self and turned to Yeon-woo .
『First . Since Kindred might notice, I’ll get to the point directly . 』
Yeon-woo nodded .
『You heard the details from Nike, right?』
『Yeah . 』
Nike was currently with Kahn . Yeon-woo was able to hear about the situation Kahn was in from Nike .
A sacrificial vessel . The fight around the “vessel . ” Doyle was being held by the Devil Army, and Kahn had been busy trying to rescue him .
Kahn had been going through a difficult trial, so he hadn’t been able to tell anyone .
Through Nike, Yeon-woo explained what he had planned to Kahn .
『I left this shadow behind to ask you for a favor . 』
『What is it?』
『It’s…… . 』
Kahn opened his mouth to speak .
『So it’s here . 』
Ivan squinted in the narrow entrance of the cave . It felt like everything would be sucked in by the abyss . Nothing could be felt . He couldn’t sense anything despite shooting his Consciousness in .
『Yes . He definitely went in here . 』
Jonathan nodded heavily next to him .
The alliance had restructured itself under Ivan’s command .
Then, they waited until Yeon-woo arrived where Kahn was .
They knew Yeon-woo’s target was Kahn, so they decided that it was efficient to catch both of them when they were together .
Faceless and Doctor Doom didn’t say anything about it . They weren’t going to lead the forces at the frontlines anyway, and the same went for Nocturn .
Ivan frowned at their uncaring attitude . They weren’t helping, but they weren’t just sitting around either .
『We’re heading in . 』
And since they didn’t do anything to be scolded for, he couldn’t hold them responsible . No, he could do that when everything was finished . Right now, he had to focus on catching Yeon-woo and Kahn .
They had trapped themselves in a small fence, so it would be easier to catch them .
According to Ivan’s command, about 300 of the strongest players got in line and began to step into the cage .
Checheche—
『It’s really ominous . 』
『Was this place always here?』
The players frowned as they looked around . No matter how much they expanded their Consciousness, they couldn’t feel anything . There wasn’t much they could feel other than themselves and the people near them . It was like walking in the dead of night without light .
They were proud of themselves for being strong enough not to be scared at most things, but an anxiousness began to creep in their minds .
『Sir, will you be alright?』
A robed magician quietly approached Doctor Doom and whispered .
There were many magicians in the 300 strongest players that Ivan had designated .
They were not only black magicians from Necropolis but also the strongest from each Magic Tower .
But that didn’t mean they were strong fighters or good at combat .
Especially in this hidden stage filled with darkness, rash movements were strictly forbidden .
From what the magicians saw, the cave that Yeon-woo and Kahn had entered was filled with mysteries .
The path was curvy, and no matter how many tracking spells they casted, they all disappeared in the air .
They felt like if they shot forward any more of their Consciousness, their souls would be sucked in the deep cave .
Because they were magicians, they knew what it was .
Emptiness .
Also a space called Void .
No, it couldn’t even be called a space . There was nothing there, and the nothing swallowed all .
They didn’t understand why Yeon-woo and Kahn had entered it . However, one thing they knew for sure was that if they continued to walk into the Void, they would be in danger .
『There was nothing bad in today’s card . 』
『Then…… . 』
『But there wasn’t anything good . 』
Doctor Doom’s eyes flashed intensely .
『This means our divination for today depends on us . And without Bian, we won’t have any divinations in the future . 』
『……Yes, sir . I said something I shouldn’t have . I apologize . 』
The different fields of magic split up and combined again . Magicians walked what they believed was the “path of truth . ”
But recently, the Magic Towers had changed their minds and desired to combine all their power . The latest events of the Tower impacted the Magic Towers, and they decided that they needed to become anew .
Each Magic Tower had sent their strongest to create a new organization .
Necropolis . And they put Doctor Doom, who was familiar with all magic, on the leader’s seat .
‘But it’s more dangerous now to create a new foothold . ’
It wasn’t easy to combine the different paths of magic into one . The knowledge, formation, and basis of the magic were different .
To overcome their limits, they needed new knowledge .
In Doctor Doom’s eyes, it was Bian . The hidden card to grow their limited magic .
‘Unless Faust’s Mage Technique comes back . ’
The new field of magic that had opened new horizons for magic studies along with De Roy’s Demon Studies .

Some said that Faust had even devoured the demon and monster king, Mephistopheles, but after his sudden disappearance, he became a story passed down in myths .
His power was the root of the “Divination” that Doctor Doom frequently checked, and it was what he had promised himself to achieve .
『Even if we can’t obtain Bian Studies, we can’t let anyone else get it . 』
Doctor Doom looked at Faceless, who was laughing like a lunatic, and Nocturn, who he couldn’t read .
Most players in this alliance were after the Bian or honor, but he couldn’t tell why those two had come .
He couldn’t help but be wary of them .
Especially Faceless, who seemed like a combination of many different identities, was the person that Doctor Doom considered the most dangerous .
『Hm?』
He cast magic in front of him in an attempt to search deep in the cage again and widened his eyes .
『……What’s this?』
There was nothing .
Neither around him nor anywhere .
『There was nothing about this in the divination!』
The subordinate he had just been speaking with was gone . All he felt was darkness . Vines of the Void from inside of the cave wrapped around him .
That moment .
『Hup!』
Doctor Doom whipped his body around . Magic circles were drawn in the air and destroyed the attacks from the darkness .
Pewww—
But because the impact was too great, Doctor Doom wasn’t able to avoid it all and was blown away . Blood spilled from his mouth .
Magic power quickly circulated around his body and bound his broken bones together, his dislocated shoulder spinning back into its position . Shock filled his face . What was that?
「You . Read . That? Im . Pressive . 」
Just then, two lines were drawn in the middle of the air, and they opened to reveal blue eyes .
「Is it . That . The heart . Of . Another species . Sephiroth Kabbalah . Mysterious . Studies . Into . A . Magic . Circle . Has . The . World . Improved?」
Doctor Doom’s eyes trembled . That was how his signature skill, the Random Magic Circle Release, was made . How had it been recognized instantly?
When he met the Inferno Sight in the sky, his head turned blank .
It was “that . ”
In the fight against Yeon-woo on the 30th floor, the eyes that had bound his magic power, magic circles, and his divinations .
Those eyes!
He realized it was the monster who trapped over 300 members in the emptiness and isolated him .
『What are you……?』
「Ah . You’re . Not . You’re . A . Mutant . 」
Another secret was revealed . Doctor Doom calmed his trembling hand and flicked his thumb . About ten magic circles floated up above him .
The Inferno Sight narrowed its eyes and muttered, not caring . Like a child observing ants .
「You’re . A toy . Trying to . Imitate . Me . How . Amusing . You . Fools . 」

What?
Imitate who?
「On . Top . Of . Trying to . Bother . Master’s . Plan . I’ll Punish . You . For your . Foolishness . 」
The Inferno Sight flamed up, growing bigger .
「Shall . We?」
Kwaaang—
Doctor Doom felt like the space around him was being forced apart .
When he came to attention, his limbs were all twisted . The magic circles wrapped around him were all cracked .
‘No… . . that person is… . . !’
After realizing Boo’s identity, the mental shock was greater than the physical pain he felt .
The similar scene was happening across the cave .
『Dreams…… dusk . 』
On Nemesis’s words, the Void settled down and separated the players .
This was the Monkey King’s Palace . Yeon-woo was the only person who knew how everything was set up from the entrance to the quarters in the center . It was a trap he had made because he knew that Void was always in the air .
『Keacck!』
『What’s this?!』
『Aack! Save me!』
Players couldn’t get a grip on themselves as Monster Portents poured onto them from the darkness .
Crunch, crunch—
They were slaughtered . No matter how hard they tried to resist, there was no way to catch the Monster Portents that disappeared back in the Void and attacked their blind spots .
The moment they were injured, they died from being poisoned .
That wasn’t the end of it .
Clack, clack—
Rumble—
The abyss began to open in different places . Ashy fog spewed out, and something dark showed itself . Undeads consisting of skeletons, ghouls, and zombies . It was an army of death in armor .
[Dungeon Release]
Boo’s hidden dungeon had opened up .
『What is this……?!』
Ivan ripped part the darkness that kept on sticking on him . But what appeared after was a countless number of undead that filled the cave .
His face hardened at the extraordinary phenomenon .
Checheche—
Just then, pieces of the Void gathered into a large shape .
What Ivan saw was incredibly shocking despite all the experience he had under his belt .
Boom!
A red and black foot stomped forward . Wings of bones spread apart, and a horrible toxic gas floated over towards him .

There were only bones left behind, but its aura was just as strong as when it was living .
Kraaaaaa!
The dragon that came out into the world for the first time roared . Dragon Fear spread out .
