The night before hunting is a night that cannot help but be covered in tension and nervousness in many ways. If the opponent is a dark blue-grade monster, the Blue Qilin, and if it is a monster of monsters, it wasn’t necessary to say anything.

“The night sky looks so pretty.” But the night before such a Blue Qilin hunting was so beautiful that they could not spend the night trembling with taut nerves.

“I didn’t really expect that the day when I saw the moon and the stars above Baekdu to come this way.” The night sky, which they could see on the background of Mt. Baekdu, was so beautiful.

“Didn’t you agree, boss?”

Of course, the biggest reason he was able to appreciate the night sky without being caught up in the anxiety was because of the existence of Kim Tae-hoon, not anyone else.

Kim Tae-hoon slurped his coffee and looked up at the top of Mt. Baekdu. He pondered it silently.

Jang Sung-hoon spoke to Kim, “You can use Telepathy now, and you can talk to me even if you drink coffee.”

At the words of Jang, Kim still did not answer. Instead, he smiled faintly.

Then, one of the uninvited guests appeared.

Jang Sung-hoon turned his head. “There’s a guest here.”

It was Kate who had shown up.

– Two.- At that time, Kim’s voice was heard in Jang’s head, and Jang looked around.

He saw a woman approaching between the background of a large base camp around them. It was a woman who marked her presence more clearly than anyone else, with a wound on her nose. It was Maria.

Maria and Kate, both of them walked toward Kim and Jang as if they had made a promise.

Jang shrugged at the sight. “Boss, it’s not a bother, is it? It doesn’t matter if you have a love affair with a woman or two at the same time. But if you choose one, don’t cut the other off. Just tell me. Isn’t that your right-hand man’s job? You have to tell me beforehand, and I’ll go to the woman and said, ‘Please, break up with my boss.’”

Of course, Kim ignored Jang’s words.

Kate and Maria stood near them, glancing at one another.

‘Who is it?’

‘Kate Kennedy?’

Kate wondered at Maria, and Maria quickly understood her identity. The personal information of the US Ambassador to Korea was something that any elite of Russian special forces should be aware of.

While the two women were nervous about each other for different reasons, Kim Tae-hoon said, “You, make it clear whether you’re here as a representative, or as an individual.”

Maria and Kate looked at each other at the words.

“As an individual.”

“As an individual.”

At the same time, they said the same words. Naturally, a strange air began to flow between them.

In the air, Jang made a gesture to get up from his seat quietly. Of course, Kim looked at Jang. Then, Jang said carefully, “I’m going to get some popcorn, and I think it will be more fun than tomorrow’s Blue Qilin hunting.”

Of course, such a thing, which Jang would get up and bring some popcorn, did not happen. At Kim Tae-hoon’s scary eyes, he sat down on the ground again with his hands lightly lifted.

The full-scale conversation began after Jang sat down again.

“Just get straight to the point, Kate first.”

“Who is she?”

Kim answered briefly to Kate’s question, which was really clear and short. “It’s Maria from Russia.”

“What’s your relationship?”

“Is that important?”

“If a Russian is in love with you, then America has to make different judgments in many ways.”

Jang Sung-hoon, who understood Kate’s words, said as if he had waited for it, “Wow, now is the day when the nationality of the boss’s wife changes the world situation. I envy you because I can’t marry anyone over forty.”

While Kate’s face hardened at Jang’s complaint, Kim turned his attention to Maria. Then he nodded his chin lightly. It meant she should speak now.

“I’ll make one thing clear, I don’t have that relationship with Kim Tae-hoon, and the reason I’m here as an individual is that I’ve got to give you a few things to tell you.”

“Tell me briefly.”

“The current Russian government’s power has been restructured, and in the course of the reorganization, the Russian government has suspended all ambassadors abroad. The Russian ambassador here, in other words, cannot represent Russia at this time.”

“What’s the point?”

“I’m the closest one to the Russian representative right now, and I’m here to be recognized.”

“I recognize it.” Kim Tae-hoon, who answered immediately, turned his head back to Kate. “Is that all you had to ask?”

Kate was embarrassed by the look. She was not here for a reason, to be honest. She just wanted to see Kim’s face after a long time and this was the only time she could do.

In such a situation, her mind couldn’t be completely clear because she said something strange even to her mind. So, she asked vaguely, “Rather, where is Bang Hyun-wook? What about Lieutenant Kim Soo-ji? Aren’t they participating this time?”

The answer to the vague speaking came from Jang’s mouth. “A closer doesn’t play from the start. He’ll be here when he has to finish the game.”

With those words, Jang rose from his seat.

“I’d rather you two move to the assigned area, because if both parties of the United States and Russia are here, you’ll have trouble. This is like a campsite, but you’re not here to camp.”

There was no more playfulness in Jang’s eyes. “I won’t explain anymore, but I’ll tell you what I want to say after the hunt.” Instead, there was a firm will and charisma that no one could easily reject. “Go back.”

Kate and Maria had to back off.

Jang Sung-hoon, who spoke the words, was one of the most powerful men in Korea, and now he was a man who had no desire to discuss the world situation.

When the two turned their footsteps around, Jang erased his serious eyes and said, “Boss, you’re really sucking nectar with Telepathy.”

The beautiful night passed like that, and the sun rose.

Mt. Baekdu.

It was unquestionable that this mountain, like the Soul Mountain of the Korean people, was beautiful. And on December 30, the last day of the year, Baekdu Mountain’s Heaven Lake was frozen white and showed that it was the coldest place on the Korean Peninsula.

A deer was walking through the frozen Heaven Lake of Mt. Baekdu. It was a giant deer with a big body that reminded them of an elephant.

But the huge size was colorless in front of the deer’s appearance. The deer was so unusual. The head that reminded them of an oriental dragon had two horns that seemed to be a deer’s, and its body was covered with the scales of a strong dragon, not a fuzzy fur. It could not be compared with anything, and it could not be confused with something else. Because of that, it was so easy to gauge its identity.

Qilin!

The existence, which could only be seen in legends and myths, now existed before them as a real being. Of course, the Qilin in front of them was not the same kind of bird of good luck that appeared in mythology or legend. Rather, it was a monster that had appeared to bring humanity to despair and an end.

A man appeared before the monster.

Whoo! The man with a long breath was also wearing a unique outfit. The man’s

clothes were not a hiker’s. He was dressed in a white animal fur coat over a suit made of the black-red hide of the Dragon.

The five Swords which were hovering around the man like satellites orbiting a planet, clearly showed why the man had come here. He was here to wield a sword.

The man openly revealed his intention to paint the frozen Heaven Lake of Baekdu Mountain with the blood of the Blue Qilin. The blatant hostility was not ignored by the Blue Qilin.

Cheee! With a strange cry, the Blue Qilin turned to the man. That meant that the presence of the man was strong enough to be defined as an enemy to the Blue Qilin.

Of course, there was no need for greetings. The battle began immediately.

Shiik! The first movement was made by a sword made of gold: the Dragon Light Sword. As soon as the sun was shining, the powerful weapon that even cut off Dragon’s skin ran over the frozen lake. With nothing to hide the sun from the sky and the Heaven Lake of Baekdu Mountain, the stage was set for the Dragon Light Sword.

The Blue Qilin also moved at the movement of the Dragon Light Sword.

The clatter of hoofs! The horseshoe-like feet began pounding on the frozen Heaven Lake constantly. The knocking was eerie.

Ddageudak! Ddageudak! The sound of footsteps of the Blue Qilin with the elephant-sized body, which was likely to reach tens of tons, was low.

Nevertheless, its movement was fast and rough.

Ddageudak!

In one leap, it moved dozens of meters like flying, and its four feet created a dynamic movement without a break, as if watching a pair of tap dancers.

With that dynamic movement, it avoided the Dragon Light Sword that was flying constantly aiming for it. Even as it avoided it, it began to narrow the distance to Kim Tae-hoon.

Of course, Kim also moved. He put his body on the frozen Heaven Lake of Baekdu Mountain and started a running fight where he was chased and he chased. During the chase, Kim moved two more Swords toward the Blue Qilin.

The Sword of the Imperator, and the Onimaru Kunitsuna.

The named sword, which was excluded from the national treasures because it was owned by the Japanese Emperor, and the sword who Kim Tae-hoon first used, moved toward the Blue Qilin, flashing ruthless blades more then simply sharp.

Three swords began to perform acrobatics, leaving no gaps, and avoiding what could not be even imagined.

Swish, swish! In front of the acrobatics created by the three swords, the Blue Qilin avoided the dancing blades with amazing grace. Even its dark blue eyes were staring at Kim, not the blades moving toward it in this situation. The Blue Qilin looked so relaxed.

On the other hand, Kim’s eyes were not focused on the Blue Qilin. His eyes were watching some golden objects that were scattered on the ground.

Golden Web! Kim was moving and waiting for the Blue Qilin to step on the Golden Web that he had scattered around.

As soon as the Blue Qilin stepped on the Golden Web, it became a mine that caught the ankle of the Blue Qilin.

Chihik! Of course, it was only a moment that it caught its ankle. Even the expression “catch” was almost meaningless. But it was enough.

Shiik! The small gap was enough for the flying swords to taste the blood of the Blue Qilin that they had anticipated so much.

At the same time, the wound was enough to pull out the instincts of the Blue Qilin who had been playing around so far.

Pazik! As soon as the Dragon Light Sword made a finger-deep wound on the back of the Blue Qilin, sparks began to splash between its two horns.

The blue lightning!

The blue lightning gave an extraordinary presence to the Qilin.

Pazijjik! Now it began to increase its size enormously and emit an overwhelming presence. The blue lightning, which rose like a bamboo, spewed intense thunderbolts around the Blue Qilin. The shape of the lightning arcs looked like a net. In fact, it was a net.

Pazik! Pazik! In the net made of the blue lightning, the three swords were caught repeatedly flying like acrobatics.

‘They can’t move.’ The power of the net was powerful enough to ignore even the power of Kim Tae-hoon, who had reached the S- rank of Telekinesis now.

‘Approaching is dangerous.’ But Kim was not embarrassed by the fact.

‘But it doesn’t seem easy to move around using that technique.’ Instead of embarrassment, he calmly analyzed the situation and came up with a response to the situation he had analyzed.

Kim opened his palms and the haze began to rise over his palm. The rising haze became a sphere the size of a human body, taking its place like a snake coiling itself. It was the power of Eight-tailed Fox, the Telekinetic Beads.

The Telekinetic Beads appeared and began to freeze, the eerie ice thorns materializing around the hard, solidly frozen beads.

Ice Thorn Armor!

Of course, there was a power of Anger Soaring in it. Kim threw the Telekinetic Beads into the net of the blue lightning created by the Blue Qilin.

Pazik! The net of the blue lightning also caught the Telekinetic Beads... but that was all. There was no way to stop the countdown that had already begun. The short countdown started, and the moment the countdown ended, the Telekinetic Beads exploded and blew the ice thorns all over the place.

At the same time, the powerful explosion caused cracks in the frozen Heaven Lake of Baekdu Mountain. It was like a volcano bursting out.

Du-woo-woong! A sad bell began to ring at the scene. After a long journey, the Bell of King Seongdeok began to cry out in the Heaven Lake of Baekdu Mountain. It was not the end of revealing new presences. The Golden Altar of the Konjikido that came from Japan began to shake the senses of the Blue Qilin by spreading its own sacred power.

Chii! Chii! While the Blue Qilin, who was wounded and enduring the Bell of King Seongdeok and the Golden Altar, was crying frantically, Kim Tae-hoon, who had disappeared with the explosion, began to fall from the sky.

Kim Tae-hoon who was falling held the Seven-Branched Sword with his hands covered with scales of a dragon.

The Power of a Draconian!

Kim’s fall, led by an unimaginable power the Power of a Draconian and the powerful relic Seven-Branched Sword, struck like a thunder strike on the body of the Blue Qilin through the net of the blue lightning it had created.

Poo-ook! The Seven-Branched Sword was deeply embedded in the body of the Blue Qilin.

Chiiii! The Blue Qilin’s mouth opened and screamed at the power of the Seven-Branched Sword that was stuck in its body.

Keuaaaa! Kim Tae-hoon also screamed while pushing the Seven-Branched Sword deeper into the body of the Blue Qilin.

“Eu-ryat-cha-cha!” As soon as the scream was over, powerful cheers began to come into the Heaven Lake of Mt. Baekdu.

“Everyone, charge!”

The Dragon Knights.

They had already showed up on Mt. Baekdu, proving their strength. The difference was that there were thirteen people, not twelve.

“I’m here, big brother!” One of them, who called himself an ace of the Mac Guild, was Bang Hyun-wook.

At the fact, a smile rose the lips of Kim Tae-hoon, who was enduring the pain of the lightning striking him on the body of the Blue Qilin. ‘It’s been a long time.’
