Chapter 309 - Lizard Tail (5)

Ra’s guardian pulled the power of light from Kang Shin-hyuk, condensing it into a single point it fired out like a spear of light. It flew in a straight line, quickly penetrating Wilford and smashing the connection between Earth and the gate, perhaps even going beyond. The problem was that Wilford’s corpse, twisted inside, was about to explode.

“It’s dangerous; it’ll explode!”

“Evacuate... Evacuate everyone!”

“No, you don’t have to.”

Kang Shin-hyuk immediately silencing those causing panic. He was quite familiar now with the magi reaction. It felt like the explosion at the association HQ that had occurred during Janus’s attack. However, now Kang Shin-hyuk wouldn’t let such a catastrophe occur. As he exuded his spiritual power, dozens of crystal-shaped drones waiting in his inventory popped out.

“How many are there?!”

“I worked diligently on them whenever I had time, so now I have thirty-seven. Ra’s Guardian Corps bombardment!”

The first Ra’s guardian he created gained a special ability and was reborn as an X-rank artifact, whereas the copies were below the current limit. Nevertheless, Ra’s spear, which dozens of drones fired at once, had enough power to suppress and extinguish the massive explosion of vile energy.

-Saaaaah

The magi were washed away by the bombardment of light. All the energy vanished, leaving behind only a small mirror united into one. Due to the concentrated energy, only a piece of pure chiral that not even Jormungand could complete remained.

-It is the product of all craft. It was made jointly by you and Jormungand, using Wilford and the knights as materials.

“Ha...”

Kang Shin-hyuk carefully approached the object and picked it up after storing all the drones back in his inventory. Of course, this wasn’t something that humans could use. It was an object that contained the power to connect dimensions, and subsequently, the secret of the gates.

‘It’s a mirror... Okay. Did Janus want to give me this from the start?’

Kang Shin-hyuk trembled with displeasure as he felt all the more than he was being entangled with Janus. What did Janus want? It kept feeling like they were playing on both sides. However, the fact was that going beyond the dimension was what he aimed for, so he had no choice but to accept it.

-Member, it’s enough to postpone getting angry until your reunion.

‘The administrator also seems suspicious.’

-The administrator follows the member’s will.

That only added to the suspicion. However, the days would be fleeting if he spent them all examining said suspicious points. Kang Shin-hyuk turned around with a sigh. Prince William and Princess Olivia, as well as those who participated in the contest, stood there blankly.

“What’s left?”

“No, you solved it so quickly... What the hell was that?”

“It was a tremendous magical response, enough to warrant a total evacuation of London... But it vanished.”

“Then there’s no problem. Oh, will I get in trouble for killing Wilford?”

“No, no.”

Prince William shook his head.

“It’s not only clear that he was brainwashing the royal family with a suspicious ability of unknown fortune, but that shield endowed with light and divine power revealed him in front of so many people. No one will blame you, Death Puppeteer.”

“No, please call me by name.”

“And... Thank you for helping my daughter.”

Prince William bowed his head deeply. The inside of the theater, which was growing noisy, immediately grew silent.

“If I had lost my child...”

“Well, I’m thinking of getting paid for it. I am the first in the world rankings.”

“I’m prepared. How about my daughter?”

“Ah, father!”

Olivia jumped and began to blush at the prince’s quick response. It really wasn’t the best price for the UK to pay, especially when the princess was almost certain to succeed the throne, but it was the only appropriate for the No. 1 in the world. Marriage, after all, was the equivalent of exchanging half of one’s life.

“No, it’s okay.”

“Haha, it can’t be helped. It seems that there is already another...”

“Ah, father. Excuse me. I am...”

At his firm refusal, the prince laughed sadly, and even Olivia seemed a little regretful for some reason. Eleanor’s eyes narrowed at that.

“...Sister? No way. Shin-hyuk is at least ten years younger than you.”

“Oh, no! No, so don’t stare at me so scarily!”

“What are you guys doing? The beat is good, at least.”

While the siblings bickered, Claire came up with a snort and folded her arm with Kang Shin-hyuk’s. Kang Shin-hyuk smiled at the warm touch and spoke quietly to only her.

“Claire, are you all done?”

“I’ve already solved it with the nanobots. At least everything in London will be recoverable.”

“As expected of you.”

It wasn’t just the royal family that had been contaminated with the chiral, but also countless others. Wilford had been quite busy preparing himself. But it was then...

“Ah, aah...”

“Well?”

When Kang Shin-hyuk turned his head at the voice, he noticed a woman had not yet come down from the stage. Ebiger Hammer’s representative. He didn’t remember her name, but it was that young blonde beauty.

“The sword we made...”

“Ah... Indeed, there were also some there.”

On the other side of the stage were the remnants of a sword that had melted away. It was done by the divine light emitted by Athena. What that meant... Perhaps the person who made it realized it. With Claire beside him, Kang Shin-hyuk approached her with narrow eyes.

“It looks like magi were mixed in?”

“I didn’t know... At least until right now.”

“It’s because you didn’t communicate properly with the materials.”

“You can do that?! ...I would’ve said that isn’t possible. Uh...”

Somehow, the words he nonchalantly spoke seemed to tear her heart apart. Kang Shin-hyuk felt a little guilty, but he didn’t hesitate to push on.

“Where did you get the materials? As you might’ve noticed, it’s not a simple matter.”

“I will cooperate... I’ve figured out the situation...”

“That’s a good attitude.”

“Instead... I don’t mind saying, but I want to ask for something.”

“I refuse.”

“I haven’t even asked what it is yet; why?!”

That was because he could feel Lee Na-hee’s gaze from behind her. Besides, he clearly knew what kind of favor she wanted to ask a blacksmith.

“Accept me as a disciple! Let me sharpen my abilities under you, and one day I will surpass you!”

“That’s it, no!”

“Master!”

“I don’t like it! I refuse!”

Kang Shin-hyuk resolutely refused her and turned away. She seemed to have lost her mind because her life’s masterpiece had melted in front of her, but she was clinging fiercely to Kang Shin-hyuk. Lee Na-hee and Eleanor joined forces to remove her.

“What if there were more rivals than this?! Even if you die, don’t!”

“Blonde German beauty? No!”

‘No, actually, there was a blonde beauty who liked me in another world.’

If he said that, he would be killed, so he kept quiet. Still, these days, since it was known that the Bartender was Anvil’s lover, he was able to watch Bartender’s battles against new members such as Water Fox and Hwaho on the Hero Universe freeboard. Members like Tsukuyo and Shu often intervened and caused a mess, while other members enjoyed it. He wanted to beat everyone.

“Woah, it’s comfortable to have them around.”

“Hm?”

“Still, you’re very popular, but it’s nice to have kids like Na-hee and Eleanor to get rid of those who want to stick to you.”

Kang Shin-hyuk trembled in fear at Claire’s remarks. He didn’t understand why she was so kind to them, but he wasn’t expecting such a role! He realized that despite his growing popularity, many people were crushed by the two before they could come close.

“Well, then let’s fly to Germany right away.”

“What, right away?!”

Prince William, who was watching the skit, intervened with embarrassment at Kang Shin-hyuk’s words. Kang Shin-hyuk nodded without hesitation.

“There’s a possibility that something similar is happening in Germany. I have to catch Jormungand’s tails before they all run away, not just take a cut off tail like this one.”

“But we haven’t been able to pay you back and show our gratitude properly yet...”

“I’ll accept it next time. Send the payment to Korea, no, Shinyoung. As a bonus, I hope the treatment of Eli will change a little.”

Kang Shin-hyuk had been determined to do that from the start. He wanted the royal family to restore Eleanor’s freedom and rights. However, as Wilford asserted himself as an obvious villain, Shin-hyuk was able to naturally establish a smooth relationship with the crown prince and the other royals.

“Shinyuk...”

“Don’t call me that.”

Eleanor had a moved expression upon hearing what he said. The prince nodded tensely after confirming their strong relationship.

“...I see. Eleanor, I think we have a lot to discuss.”

“I’ve no intention of returning to England... But I don’t want to be a runaway.”

At Eleanor’s determination, Kang Shin-hyuk thought it would be good to come to England. In the end, Kang Shin-hyuk left Eleanor, Lee Na-hee, and Lee Manwoo in England for a while and headed straight to Germany with Claire.

But unfortunately, there wasn’t much to acquire there. Even worse, the blonde beauty... Rachel Elma Wirt had directly applied for membership to Shinyoung.
