Hye-yeon used all her connections to get the terminal containing the code to disarm the nano bombs through the black market.
It was a genuine handset from MS, which was obtained by giving them a C-cla.s.s core.
That’s why she was puzzled at the nano bomb explosion.
‘Did they give me a defective product?’
“Eukk!”
Seeing Yu So-hwa writhe in pain, Chun Yeowun was satisfied.
The terminal wasn’t defective or fake.
It did genuinely contain the code to disarm the bombs.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, the nano bombs would have been disarmed and would later come out through urine.
‘This is Nano’s effect.’
[Right.]
If only Nano wasn’t there, everything would have worked out according to their plan.
Nano, who has a much more advanced technology regarding nanotech, conducted some modifications on the bombs that Chun Yeowun took out from Baek Jong-so’s body.
Unlike the original ones, which, in terms of manipulation, could only be disarmed, the new ones could move more freely.
“d.a.m.n the black market!”
Unaware of that, Hye-yeon grumbled.
Contrary to her intelligent-looking appearance, she was a pretty rough woman.
“Fine. Doesn’t matter.”
“What do you mean it doesn’t matter?”
“I think it went well. Now I will deal with him and prove that I am far superior to an SS-cla.s.s Gate Keeper.”
Bi Mak-heon was taken aback by her bold words.
“Vice-chairman. May I?”
Ssshhh!
Bi Mak-heon’s hand headed towards the sword.
Since Yu So-hwa was bound by the nano bombs, Chun Yeowun granted his request.
“Take care of it.”
“Yes!”
Phat!
As if waiting, Bi Mak-heon went for her at once.
As a master of Illusion Swordsmanship, his swordsmanship changed right away. His aim was a single fatal attack.
“Go!”
“Hooho! Dare attack me?”
Stop!
At that moment, Bi Mak-heon, who was unfolding his technique, forcibly stopped.
“Cough!”
He was fl.u.s.tered to see his body stop. But then his body knelt down, and he banged his head on the ground.
“I-I have been deceived by the enemy and almost attacked the vice-chairman!”
Thud!
‘!?’
Chun Yeowun’s eyebrows rose at the sight. Bi Mak-heon apologized over and over to Hye-yeon as if she was him.
Licking her lips, she pointed to Chun Yeowun.
“Now we need to deal with the enemy.”
At her words, Bi Mak-heon got up from the ground and went for Chun Yeowun.
“How dare you deceive me! I will cut off this woman’s head!”
Conversely, he saw Chun Yeowun as Hye-yeon.
She spoke with a delighted tone at the sight.
“Huh! Let the allies fight.”
It was then.
Chun Yeowun held out his hand towards Bi Mak-heon and moved it down lightly.
Thud!
Bi Mak-heon forcibly knelt down.
“Kuauak!”
Bi Mak-heon remained stuck to the floor.
Seeing that, Hye-yeon frowned while mumbling.
“… s.h.i.t.”
She thought that she would be able to gain some time, but she was overpowered.
Yu So-hwa, who was groaning in pain, opened her mouth.
“You can’t subdue him like that.”
“Huh. I think so. But it doesn’t matter. The stronger my enemy, the better. It is fortunate that I came.”
Wink!
Hye-yeon winked at her and looked at Chun Yeowun.
Their eyes met.
However, there was a strange light shining in her pupils.
“Huhu. It is over!”
She confidently pointed to the sword that Bi Mak-heon dropped.
“That nice thing there. Pick it up.”
“…”
“Pick it up!”
She said it in a slightly stronger way.
Chun Yeowun reached out to the floor and retrieved the sword.
For a second, she wondered if her ability didn’t work, but it was a good idea to repeat the order again.
“Now. Stab yourself with that.”
Chun Yeowun raised the sword.
The guards around him panicked and tried to stop him.
“Stab yourself already!”
Hye-yeon shouted.
“What are you talking about?”
“Huh?”
Swish! Puck!
“Kuaaauk!”
Thrown by Chun Yeowun, Bi Mak-heon’s sword pierced her thigh. As it was unexpected, she grabbed her thigh, screaming in pain.
“d.a.m.n it!”
One of the Keepers standing beside her rushed towards Chun Yeowun.
Sharp steel spikes sprouted from his body.
It seemed like this person had the ability to protect his body with steel thorns and even use them to attack.
“Hump!”
Having narrowed the distance, the Keeper leaned forward. The steel thorns were fired from his body like missiles and aimed for Chun Yeowun and the guards.
However, his opponent wasn’t weak.
Chun Yeowun waved his hand, and all the projectiles flying towards him pierced the wall next to him.
“Kuak!”
The Keeper tried to regenerate the thorns once again.
Chun Yeowun, who saw that, lowered his hand.
“What now?”
Chak!
The sound of a slash echoed as the Keeper"s body got split in half.
Even the thorns on his body were cut off.
The other Keeper reached out to Chun Yeowun when he saw his colleague get killed.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Woong!
“Euk!”
“What is this?”
The guards were pushed away as invisible walls appeared around Chun Yeowun.
The ability of this Keeper was to create a thin wall of air.
“Don’t try to do anything.”
The ability could be used to exert pressure on people.
The invisible wall could be decreased in size.
And if that was done, the opponent would be crushed.
Chun Yeowun, who was inside, mumbled something which wasn’t heard.
The ability would block sound, so no one could hear him.
“Die!”
The wall was rapidly compressed.
It was then.
Slash!
Chun Yeowun raised his hand and cut the wall.
Like a broken window, the wall made of air shattered.
“This is like a kid’s play toy.”
“W-what is…”
The Keeper couldn’t hide his shock.
He has never seen someone break out of his ability before.
“Let’s end this.”
Chun Yeowun waved his hand, making the head of the keeper bend sideways.
Crack!
“Kuak!”
Thud!
The Keeper silently died.
“Ahhh..”
Yu So-hwa sighed.
She actually had high expectations regarding Hye-yeon’s ability. The ability to hypnotize any living being. Unless it was a special alpha type ent.i.ty, it worked on everything else.
‘That monster.’
Yu So-hwa realized the absurdity of Chun Yeowun’s existence.
‘H-how the h.e.l.l is he not caught?’
Hye-yeon was still not able to believe her eyes.
It was the first time that such a thing had happened.
She was able to hypnotize every single Murim warrior she had met before.
‘Why! Why! Why isn’t it working!?’
Whooo!
Her eyes were still glowing.
She was still trying to use her ability on Chun Yeowun, to hypnotize him, to control him. However, nothing worked.
“Seventy eight times.”
‘!!!’
At Chun Yeowun’s words, Hye-yeon’s eyes fluttered.
It was an exact count.
“You tried so hard to get into my senses.”
“Ha!”
Hye-yeon was extremely shocked.
The man knew exactly what she was trying to do.
Her ability allowed her to control the senses of the human body in order to handle them freely.
“Enough… we have played a lot.”
Chun Yeowun walked towards her.
Making Hye-yeon cry out.
“Stop!”
“That doesn’t work on me.”
“Huh! Ugh! And your subordinates?”
“Hm?”
At her words, Chun Yeowun turned around to see the four guards aiming their weapons at their own necks.
Hye-yeon warned him.
“If you move even one step or try to harm us, you will see them take their own lives.”
Gulp!
The guards were pushing the weapons closer to the necks.
He didn’t think that the woman would use her ability in such a way.
‘Someday I will repay this disgrace you have shown me.’
Running away hurt Hye-yeon’s pride.
However, having made a firm resolve within her, she dragged her leg and pulled Yu So-hwa.
“Come up. Let’s get out of here…”
When Chun Yeowun said.
“Throw away the weapons.”
Clank!
At Chun Yeowun’s command, the hypnotized guards threw away their weapons on the floor.
Having witnessed the ridiculous scene, Hye-yeon’s eyes went wide.
“W-what is this?”
The men were still hypnotized.
However, they were taking someone else’s command nonetheless.
‘No! Has to be a coincidence!’
“Eik! It doesn’t matter if you don’t have weapons! Choke yourselves!”
She screamed as if she was possessed by an evil spirit.
The guards grabbed their throats.
And Chun Yeowun spoke again.
“Don’t move.”
Still!
At his firm command, the guards stopped moving.
Hye-yeon couldn’t understand what was happening.
“H-how did this happen…”
“Such a waste. The power of Sky Demon energy is far more superior than that ability of yours.”
Obviously, Hye-yeon’s ability was strong.
However, there was no way to make a human go against the demonic energy which came from the corrupted spirit beast.
Not knowing that, she was fl.u.s.tered.
“S-Sky Demon energy, what is…”
Shhh!
In an instant, Chun Yeowun’s image blurred and reappeared in front of the woman.
Chun Yeowun grabbed her by the neck.
Catch!
“Kuak!”
“I am sick of playing anymore.”
“Kuak!”
Hye-yeon’s face turned red.
She felt like she was going to die from suffocation at any moment. It had been a long time since her prideful heart was severely broken.
The SS-cla.s.s Keeper Yu So-hwa knew what that felt like. However, she didn’t have the courage to interfere.
‘Am I going to die like this? If it wasn’t for her…’
Hye-yeon’s eyes looked at Yu So-hwa with resentful eyes.
She then came up with a good way to get out of the situation.
“S…a…v…e…me…”
“Save you?”
Chun Yeowun’s grip on her neck loosened. Hye-yeon, who was barely able to take a breath, said.
“Haa.. haa.. I, too, am useful to you… like Yu So-hwa.”
“Useful. Hmm.”
Chun Yeowun looked like he was thinking for a moment.
‘It worked!’
Thinking that she had a chance, she let out a rough breath and then spoke with a seductive look.
“Haaa… I will dedicate both my body and mind to you.”
“Body and mind?”
“Yes… if you don’t believe me, you can put nano bombs in my body.”
‘No.’
She was shaking her head.
She had to live her life, even if it meant to live trembling as a slave of the monstrous man.
‘Ridiculous. I am not going to die here.’
She didn’t want to die.
Rather, she decided that she would somehow survive, improve her abilities and then take down the monster.
‘Even if it is impossible for that b.i.t.c.h, I can.’
Unlike Yu So-hwa, she was confident in handling men.
Looking at Chun Yeowun, she thought that she had a chance.
She knelt down and said.
“You know. I am hotter in bed than Yu So-hw…”
“How arrogant.”
“Huh?”
Hye-yeon, who was trying her best to seduce him, went stiff.
Chun Yeowun looked at her with contemptuous cold eyes.
“I have changed my mind.”
“W-what do you mean?”
“People who have a 4 year old brain are worthless.”
“W-wait a minute, why is that b.i.t.c.h…”
Grab!
“Kuak!”
“Don’t talk nonsense and just die.”
Crack!
“Kuak!”
As she struggled, Chun Yeowun mercilessly broke her neck.
With a welp, the woman died.
Pak!
Chun Yeowun threw her body to the floor.
Her initial plan of highlighting the usefulness of her ability was good. But she failed to realize that Chun Yeowun didn’t like women who tried to tempt others.
“Ump!”
Yu So-hwa covered her mouth, trying not to scream at what she had just witnessed.
Chun Yeowun turned to her and said.
“Are your attempts to run away now over?”
