Book 2: Chapter 30: The sun has risen (3)

Knock knock knock.

Helson blinked after hearing a knock on the door and started to focus. He looked at the Purifier.

Please do whatever you need to do.

Helson gulped and then opened the door after hearing the Purifiers comment and seeing the gentle smile on his face.

The black Dragon had disappeared at some point.

"What is it?

Marquis-nim, his highness, the Fourth Imperial Prince has come to the door of the top executives office.

Helson frowned.

He soon shuddered.

Tsk.

He heard an annoyed tongue clicking behind him. It was the Purifier.

Does he not like that the Fourth Imperial Prince has come?

Or

Maybe he doesnt like that our top executives can't even control the Fourth Imperial Prince and has to report it to me?

Marquis Helson might be exaggerating what the Purifier might be feeling right now but he had no choice but to be concerned about how the Purifier was feeling.

The power this person had The fact that this power could protect Precinct 9 was more important than the change he would cause in the future.

The Purifier commented almost as if he was talking to himself.

Its coming in the end.

Human! Choi Han and Sui Khan contacted Goldie gramps! They said that they felt a similar rumbling like before near the wall!

It should have stayed quiet since it ran away earlier.

He mumbled in a low voice.

Did it already forget about its fear?

Helson gulped. Chief Eaen could finally see the person the Marquis was chatting with through the gap in the door.

Heni Wishrop's subordinate?

Cale started to speak as her mind was about to get busy with this new information.

Its coming.

Marquis Helson realized the meaning behind those words and looked at the Purifier with shock.

The top executives office door burst open at that moment.

"Again, we received report that they can feel that rumbling again!

The executive who had gone to the black mages shouted with urgency.

What is the identity of that rumbling? Why is the Marquis not sharing information with the candidates?!

Fourth Imperial Prince Noi glared into the open top executives office and raised his voice. He sounded as if he could throw a fit at any moment.

Of course, Noi could not see the Marquis' bedroom.

Let me go! How dare you try to stop me from entering?!

He was about to enter the top executives office but the knights standing outside the door stopped him once the Marquis raised his hand.

The Marquis urgently looked at Cale.

Didn't you say that it wouldn't come back right away?

Thats what I thought.

It ran way so quickly and even cut off parts of its body to run away. Because it showed no signs of chasing after Cale

Cale had thought that the monster would not attack the wall right away.

Cale, maybe that monster had no choice too.

Cale paid attention to what the cheapskate was saying in his mind.

That monster probably has nothing else to eat around it. It might have to move because it is starving and can't wait any longer.

The cheapskate had said that this monster was a monster that generated dead mana.

It did so by corroding the land and killing living creatures.

Marquis-nim.

Yes? Hurry up and tell me!

It seems as if that monster was so hungry To the point that it overcame its fear.

They heard a sharp noise just as the Marquis understood the meaning behind those words and turned pale.

Screeeeeech- screeeeeeech-

Chief Eaen's face turned pale.

The wall!

This was the alarm that rang when the wall was being attacked.

In the middle of the night Something was attacking the wall.

Boom-!

The people inside the castle felt a strong rumbling underneath their feet.

Marquis-nim, over there-!

One of the executives pointed out the window.

All of the lights in Precinct 9 had turned on once the alarm went off. That was why what the executive was pointing at was ever so clear to see.

My goodness.

The Marquis gulped.

There was something black that was shooting up higher than the height of the wall.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

It resembled a tree root.

There was sticky black liquid flowing from that tree root.

There was only one root but it looked as if it could easily get past the wall.

That monster was trying to climb over the wall instead of destroying it.

"What is that?!

They heard Fourth Imperial Prince Noi's astonished voice.

Cales eyes clouded over after hearing his voice.

I guess he didnt know.

The Fourth Imperial Prince didn't seem to know about this monster. If this reaction was him acting, the Fourth Imperial Prince should be an actor.

Marquis-nim.

Cale called out to the Marquis who looked shocked.

Her sword could not cut through this tree root.

She had no powers to defeat the dead mana.

Ah

The swordswomans yes looked at the sword in the mans hand.

The black aura was shooting up like an angry animal's roar.

Unlike the black root, that black aura was sparkling, almost as if it had the stars in the night sky inside of it.

However, it looked more violent than anything else and not calm at all.

Sui Khan looked at Choi Han's aura and started to speak.

I understand you want to protect and guard them, but Han, you have no calmness at all.

Choi Han didnt look at the black Hawk. His gaze was only looking past the people who were shocked after seeing him at the tree root that was trying to peek its head into the wall.

Calmness-

Choi Hans life had not been peaceful enough for him to live with calmness since he fell into the Forest of Darkness.

Of course, his soul now had a resting place.

Dont you want to get stronger?

The black Hawk moved away from Choi Han and flew up as it said that.

"An opportunity will come soon.

Choi Han's eyes clouded over.

He heard Sui Khan's jovial yet slow voice at that moment.

Hey Han, it is okay if you dont have any calmness. If that is you, that is.

Choi Han looked at the black Hawk.

The black Hawk smiled at that moment and continued to speak.

Things and people holding swordsthey might pretend to be calm but they can't be calm.

He then added on.

You could kill or save them with your hands. How could you be calm?

In that moment, Choi Han Felt as if he could understand the black Hawk, Sui Khan, no, Lee Soo Hyuks true nature.

Choi Han started to speak.

I want to spar against you.

Whenever you want. But I'm not completely used to this body yet.

Then I guess that I will win.

The black Hawk saw the smile on Choi Han's face. It was a slightly vicious smile unlike Choi Hans usual smile.

Sui Khan also understood a bit about Choi Han's true nature as well. Choi Han mumbled before kicking off the ground.

Like right now.

Choi Hans eyes were only focused on the thing he needed to slash.

Cale-nim is going to do most of the things this time too.

The rose gold thunderbolt would burn this monster.

But that doesnt mean that there is nothing for me to do.

As it always had been

There was a role for him to play.

Choi Han! I'm going!

Choi Han listened to Raons welcoming voice as he lifted his sword.

The black tree root The tip of the root turned its head toward Choi Han.

Shh-

The sword with the shining black aura slashed down.

It looked as if the night sky had come down to the ground for a moment to create a rainbow.

However, both the people holding swords on top of the wall and the mages all had to flinch and close their mouths after seeing that aura.

It was vicious.

It was berserk.

The tree root charged forward as if it wanted to swallow that black aura.

It was as if it saw this aura that was puny compared to its body as if it wasnt much.

Ah

Someone gasped.

Boom-!

A portion of the tree root fell to the ground after being cut off.

The tree root that fell on the other side of the wall made the area echo.

The sticky black liquid that had been on the root could not melt the black aura.

No matter how hard and big this tree root was, it could not stop the path of the black aura.

Screeeech

The tree root flailed while making an eerie noise.

However, everybody was looking at a single person's back.

T, that person, who is that sword master?

Someone barely managed to respond to that question.

Umm, he seems to be Heni Wishrops subordinate-

It was at that moment.

Choi Han, Sui Khan! Mary and I came first!

Choi Han looked behind him. The people in the area all turned their heads as well.

"Arrows-

They were not arrows.

Hundreds of white bones that looked like arrows cut through the night sky like meteors during a meteor shower toward their target.

Their target was the tree root.

Choi Han started to smile.

The starting point of that meteor shower Mary was there standing on top of a white Bone Dragon.
