The ball started late in the evening.

At 9 PM.

As early as an hour ago, the area around the venue had been swarmed with an array of vehicles.

'I thought it would be a small ball with not many people,'

But then, I realized that from Ersil's point of view, it might genuinely be considered a small ball.

I popped a piece of candy into my mouth, falling into brief contemplation.

My prompt appearance at the ball tonight was partly due to Seol Hwaryeon, but there was another reason.

There was a chance that the Mines might attack the ball.

'If things go as in the game, Ersil would clear out the Mines, and it would serve as an opportunity for others to see Ersil again.'

I put on the Mask of Illusion and the suit I had bought just right for the occasion.

Ersil had prepared a mask and suit for me, but in case of any chaos, it could lead to revealing my identity.

'That would be problematic.'

The difficulty had changed. The Mines, who should be scheming within the school, had switched to invading the school.

The members of the Legion of the Sky might pop up, or perhaps some famous groups from the villain's side might suddenly appear.

Therefore, I was observing people through the talent, Reading(-).

As I did so, familiar faces began to arrive.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Standing at 185 cm, dressed in a black suit with a clown mask, Park Woonhyuk appeared with a spear he obtained during weapon selection strapped to his back.

Also, Hong Yuhwa, who had let her red hair down, wore a crimson evening dress and a brooch gifted by Jeok Tapju pinned to her chest.

"...My goodness, isn't that Park Woonhyuk?"

"Look at the person coming from behind. Isn't that Hong Yuhwa? The Merhen family, indeed."

The masked attendees murmured.

'They have no intention of hiding.'

Indeed, Hong Yuhwa, who had never beaten me at school, and Park Woonhyuk, their statuses change when they step outside of school.

They were proud individuals, to begin with.

Moving my gaze from them, I looked elsewhere.

"That gentleman over there?"

Clip-clop clip-clop.

A woman with a voluptuous figure, dressed in a red dress and wearing a fox mask, approached me with a warm voice.

[That's a Mine.]

[Mr. Seoha, she's a Mine!]

Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Spirit chimed in.

I knew. She had appeared as a Mine in the game illustrations.

"Would you like to spend some private time with me?"

"Private time, you say."

"Yes, just the two of us."

Emphasizing the word 'two,' she poked my chest with her finger.

"...My, you're firm."

"Well then, shall we go inside to talk?"

I led the Fox Mine further in.

[Wha, what's going on? Is he really doing this?]

[Ma, Master?]

Ignoring their flustered remarks, I guided the Fox Mine into a dimly lit area.

As we approached the garden, some had already claimed their spots.

We moved past them to an even more secluded place.

"Oh dear, sir, aren't we going a bit too far?"

"I prefer not to be seen by others."

We walked for a while, until there were no signs of anyone else around.

The Mines rubbed its body closer, approaching me.

Thud.

"Hng."

With the black sword drawn from my bracelet, I thrust it into the gut of the Mine, then sliced its throat.

A scattering of black ashes.

There was no blood flowing from the corpse. They were existences who had sold things from this world to aliens.

They couldn't even leave a trace of humanity in this world.

"You are indeed a wise one. To see through a Mine in one glance."

A voice filled with admiration.

The voice came unexpectedly, with no indication, catching me off guard. However, I managed to maintain my composure.

Thanks to the Composure (A) which always kept me in the best of spirits.

Thump.

Someone intervened. A voice. The power imbued in his words stopped Park Woonhyuk.

Two elderly men appeared from behind Xiaotianma.

"Leader, we should escape now."

"The Merhen family's defenses are stronger than we imagined. Many of our comrades have already fallen."

Just as the elderly man was about to take Xiaotianma away...

I kicked the window and dashed out. Instead of the Black Heavenly Demon Sword, I pulled out a reserve sword from the void space.

"Who..."

The Demonic Qi raged within me.

The Legion of the Sky is quite a bothersome group. They've been causing trouble here and there under the pretext of reviving the Tianma.

If they know that I am the Tianma, it will be like gaining an extra burden.

So, I hide the Black Heavenly Demon Sword and the Demonic Qi as much as possible.

Swoosh.

The sword was drawn.

It felt different from before.

How should I put it?

I felt like I knew how to efficiently cut down my opponent.

'Quickly.'

Like a flash, the sword was drawn. I held the sword with both hands. The Demonic Qi raged within me.

Black Heavenly Demon Sword Technique.

My vision began to be dyed black.

Everything turned black, and within that, white lines were drawn.

I saw Park Woonhyuk's sour expression. The Xiaotianma with an aggrieved expression, not yet realizing what was happening.

A bit late.

I saw an old man with a horrified expression.

Instinctively, I sensed that he had realized who I was.

However, it was too late.

My sword had already reached an elder's neck before they could move.

Tianma?

The old man's lips trembled.

Screech!

A spear that suddenly appeared blocked my sword. Instinctively, I swiped my sword downwards.

Slash!

A line of blood traced across the old man's chest.

"Elder!"

"How could that sword!"

The one called 'Elder' looked at me with bewildered eyes.

"Park Woonhyuk."

"That voice is."

"Those guys, they're villains. Members of the Legion of the Sky."

"If they're villains, then it's my turn to step in."

"If so, I will take care of it. You can stay put, elder."

Seol Hwaryeon quietly approached from behind me.

She was wearing a light hanbok and a white butterfly mask.

"I've dealt with the ones outside. Only these remain."

"Did you kill them?'

"No, I've frozen them. We have quite a few things to hear from these guys."

Seol Hwaryeon said with a chilling smile.

"You did well."

"!"

At my words, Seol Hwaryeon's disheveled hair formed an exclamation point.

Can she do that?

"Aren't you two the same age?"

Park Woonhyuk quietly said to me.

I replied with Nyeom.

'She's a bit of a special case.'

"I see."

enjoy! :)
