Ch 98
Episode 97 – Exposed presence.
Even the trees that danced with the wind.
Even the fairies who looked at me with anxious flaps of their wings.
Even the young watchmen who tied their hands and feet to humans and faced death.
Even Codran, who looked at Jaejoo Kim with a blank expression.
Everything he did not allow was stained black.
[Night of Shadows]
The clear sky darkened in an instant.
All that was left in that space was Jaejoo Kim and 10 other clan members.
Their eyes fluttered anxiously.
“Hey, what is this?”
“Someone light the fire!”
There was a brief commotion in the darkened son-in-law, and then bright lights burst out from everywhere.
It was a lantern prepared for the night.
“················ogue.”
As things began to be discerned, the murmur ceased in an instant.
Their speech was choked by fear of the person in front of them, not the relief of their sight.
Looking down at the three fallen clan members indifferently, he raised his head.
“Last time, Kim Seok-min didn’t say anything.”
The cold eyes that looked like a dignified emperor and also looked like a valiant warrior looked over them.
“I said I’d see you soon, but you dare come visit me…”
Jaejoo Kim disappeared into the shadows.
“The choice is yours.”
Confusion erupted from everywhere.
“Uh, where did you go!”
“You cowardly bastard! Come here!”
Isanhu shook her head and raised her voice.
“calm down.”
Recalling the usual cold-hearted nature of the postpartum, they tried to calm their breathing and slowly adjusted their breathing.
“But, the clan chief, this is…”
When the man in the rat jacket made an anxious expression, Lee San-hu smiled and stepped forward.
“Mr. Jaejoo Kim!”
There was no answer.
“Bluff doesn’t work! You think we don’t even know what a joke this is.”
After giving birth, he was guaranteed a head senior seat on the 30th floor.
“Shakhneil, right? I don’t know how I got it, but it’s a useless ring. haha.”
Because of that, I was able to notice any useless jokes like this.
There was no doubt that Jaejoo Kim, who had run out of magical powers, would soon appear, panting for breath.
“Everyone prepares a magic restraint ball…”
The face of Lee San-hu, who turned her head with a confident expression, became as hard as a stone.
“Wow, oh, oh, oh!”
Six limbs were pierced.
“What the hell is this…”
Thorns sprouted from the black space, and were constantly tormenting the clan members like a living organism.
“Clean, clan chief.”
Dozens of black thorns pierced through the flesh and bones of the clan members and squirmed around them.
The lantern, which fell helplessly, lit up the thorns, but it seemed to absorb even the light and did not shine at all.
“I know very well that bluff doesn’t work.”
At the sound of a sudden voice, Isasanhu’s body hurriedly returned.
“If I did, I would have died sooner.”
The hand, which was pulled hard to release the aura gathered in the fist, had to keep quiet.
“Don’t upset me.”
Hundreds of thorns were wriggling at the postpartum face, neck, heart, and whole body.
“Do you want to live?”
A sweet whisper could be heard from the sight obscured by thorns.
It was so sweet, my trembling lips parted involuntarily.
“Just say a word.”
The upper part of the wriggling thorn turned aside, and Kim Jae-joo’s expressionless face was visible.
“I want you to live.”
After childbirth, I instinctively realized.
“I want to live.”
There is only one option to escape from this demon.
“What is a code, what is a code!”
The fairy, who had been watching the situation from afar, approached Codran with a fuss.
“Cool, cool.”
“wait a minute!”
The fairy’s wings shone brightly, and little by little glittering powder fell from the tip.
Soon, the wounds from the powder began to heal, and the blue bruises disappeared one by one.
“I, the children rather than me.”
“You idiot, idiot! He is already being treated.”
Codran realized this when her blurred vision was restored.
The fairies that came out of the forest were already attached to the children of the meadow and their wings were shining.
“Ah···.”
Codran’s horns glowed blue.
“Cordran is an idiot!”
The fairy flew frantically and dazzled his eyes.
“Thank you.”
Codran smiled bitterly and raised her legs slowly.
“Who saved us?”
The frantic movement of the fairy stopped, and the flapping of its wings slowly drooped.
“Look over there.”
The fairy disappeared before my eyes. It was only then that I could see the coderan.
A large black sphere was formed in the center of the meadow.
It was bizarre to see him wriggling from time to time.
“Are you a monster from the Demon Realm?”
The fairy shook her head at Codran’s dazed murmur.
“no.”
“Then this is what it is…”
Without even hearing the fairy’s answer, a change began to take place in the black sphere.
Codran hurriedly stepped back and picked up the spear that had fallen to the floor.
Codran’s momentum to prepare for the fight went away, and the black sphere began to decrease little by little.
Soon after, he vomited out numerous humans and disappeared.
“you!”
Codran’s horns glowed pale green.
It was because the humans who attacked him and his children had fallen, and there was a familiar human at the center of it.
“You are awake.”
His expression hardened as if he was angry and his eyes hard to read emotions, he was a unique person who did not forget even if he wanted to.
“I hope you do something like this-”
“dummy!”
The fairy again blurred Codran’s vision.
“···what?”
“Cordran is an idiot! That man saved Codran, you idiot!”
Codran’s hand, holding the spear firmly, drooped.
Looking at the person approaching, I couldn’t say anything.
“Are you all right?”
Hearing the worried question, Codran’s eyes trembled.
“okay. But this is the alternative……”
“I hear someone is doing something bad here.”
Jaejoo Kim glanced at the fairy, and the fairy nodded her head as if she was proud.
Seeing that, Coderan sighed involuntarily.
“Thank you. human.”
“It was nothing.”
Codran hung the spear on the string on his back and shook hands.
When Jaejoo Kim took his hand without hesitation, Codran’s horns started to glow blue.
“Human, what’s your name?”
“Tell me thank you! Watchmen don’t easily ask for human names!”
Kim Jae-joo did not have time to answer, and the fairy trembled in Busan.
“thank you.”
Jaejoo Kim continued with a light smile.
“My name is Jaejoo Kim.”
“is it. That’s an odd name.”
“················ogue.”
If Jaejoo Kim had horns, he would have turned red.
“What are you going to do?”
“I want to help soon, too, but I still have work to do.”
Jaejoo Kim turned his head and looked at the Hippocrit clan members behind him.
After the birth, they sat down and couldn’t move, as if they had lost their mind, and the rest were screaming for death or fainting.
“Come over quickly. Jaejoo Kim, you haven’t been trusted yet.”
I couldn’t tell who it was from.
“yes.”
“Take care of yourself.”
Codran said he had to go to the place where the rest of the guards were, and led the guards and disappeared.
“see ya!”
The fairies also fluttered their wings and said hello to Kim Jae-joo and left, and soon silence revolved around the meadow.
“················ogue.”
-lol
-haha
-Ha ha ha
-If I said Kim Jae-joo 2, wouldn’t it be a lot of fuss?
– Our talent must have turned the stage upside down haha
“···Please stop it.”
– Stop it, oh
– Shirunde? Shirunde?
“Oh, yes.”
-Is that weird?
– Gimpago is broken– Why are you pissed off then?
-But this is the first time I’ve seen a night of shadows written like that; Dog Rim;
-Who is the guy who just stocked up on rings on the 70th floor?
– haha.. haha.. jo;
-Anyway, unless it’s Jaejoo Kim, I can’t write like that ^^ I’m sure
Jaejoo Kim turned his head, ignoring the confusing chat window.
Because he still had work to do.
“Mr. Lee Sanhu?”
There was no reaction.
Seeing that he couldn’t even turn his head, it seemed that he was quite shocked.
Jaejoo Kim sighed and approached him, bent over and looked at him.
“Mr. Lee Sanhu?”
Just right. Just right.
Just then, at the sound of clinking fingers, Lee San-hoo made eye contact with Kim Jae-joo.
“Yes Yes?”
“Calm down.”
Jaejoo Kim said while looking at the fallen clan members.
Because he avoided the vital point and aimed, he would not die.
Since you’re a 20th-floor user, all you have to do is make a sound of pain from bleeding.
“sorry.”
After giving birth, her voice trembled finely.
“Where are the other users?”
“It is scattered.”
“Who is in the traveler’s giant tree?”
“No, no.”
“like.”
Jaejoo Kim straightened his back and continued.
“Call everyone now.”
“yes?”
“Did you add friends?”
“Yes Yes!”
“Send a message. come here.”
“All right.”
“It wouldn’t be fun if even one person was missing.”
The cold words made the hand movements of the childbirth urgent.
– What are you going to do?
-Is it meaningful? Just ignore it and go through trials and tribulations.
– I don’t have time.
“No.”
Jaejoo Kim quietly shook his head.
Users must not interfere with his plans.
The watchmen did not believe in humans themselves.
If friction arises between users and watchmen who do not know where they are going, the damage goes back to Kim Jae-joo.
‘It would be better to tell them to be quiet.’
While Jaejoo Kim was so troubled, users who checked the message of the postpartum separation appeared one by one.
“uh?”
Some people were surprised to see Jaejoo Kim.
“Clean, clan chief!”
Seeing the fallen clan members and postpartum, there were some who took out their weapons and shouted.
“What happened?”
“Obviously the message was sent by the clan leader…”
“Aren’t you supposed to run away?”
People who couldn’t approach the clan members who were like corpses piled up one by one, and the murmur grew louder.
‘Are you all here?’
Jaejoo Kim opened his mouth slowly, accepting the gaze of a mixture of anxiety and interest.
“Nice to meet you.”
There was no reply returned. It’s only full of boundaries with strangers.
Nevertheless, Jaejoo Kim’s mouth did not stop.
“I brought you all together like this because I wanted to ask you one thing.”
His gaze froze over the crowd.
People who flinched spread their shoulders, pretending to be proud for nothing, but there was no change in Kim Jae-joo’s expression.
“As you can see, I and the Hippocratic clan are not on good terms.”
Only the moans of the clan members lying on the floor could be heard occasionally.
“But that probably doesn’t matter to you. After all, the tower is where the logic of power, the weak and the weak, is applied.”
It was then. A young man, with a dissatisfied expression on his face the whole time, intervened.
I looked at the users around me to see if I was nervous when I started talking, and then carefully opened my mouth.
“What do you want to say?”
“Let me be brief.”
Jaejoo Kim raised his foot and laid his back on the fallen clan member, and the sound of pain grew louder.
“Be quiet. The ordeal will be cleared by myself.”
Jaejoo Kim hoped that this threat would work.
That’s why I saved the postpartum and clan members alive.
If he had killed him, he would have lost his trust.
Users themselves are consumed by the fear that they will be like that.
“I am not here to kill anyone.”
Jaejoo Kim glanced at them once again, and the suspicious eyes of the crowd were somewhat relaxed.
“If you have any complaints, please tell me.”
