Chapter 24 – Proposal

Jin-Seong let go of Muhyuk.

He held the Oriharcon blade in his hand.

Then the straight double-edged sword glistened gold. The golden blade, which was made by folding, and beating a red-hot Oriharcon metal, was dense and had wave patterns.

+ Name: Oriharcon Blade Classification: Pulse Edge Grade: A+ Description: A sword containing the essence of Dwarf smelting, a legendary metal, Oriharcon. +

Jin-Seong swung the blade quickly. The fast recovery and wind-splitting sound was creepy.

Jin-Seong smiled at the sword in his hand.

” …… I could rip apart as much of Malek’s skin as I want with this.”

In addition, there were a large and splendid single-edged hand axe, spear, and dagger left behind by the dwarfs too.

But there was definitely something unique about them.

“……This is the butcher’s sword.”

In the innermost part, there was a sword that seemed impossible to lift. It was a special weapon for the “buskers” who fought without a single armor among the Dwarf warriors.

Lee Jin-Seong held the sword’s handle, which completely occupied one side of the wall. Then he lifted the sword, which was estimated to be one whole person in length and 30 centimeters wide.

Kugugugu…

“It’s pretty light.”

The average steel slaughter sword weighs 20 kilograms. The black sword, made of the Oriharcon weighed 10 kilograms. However, even 10 kilograms was too heavy for an ordinary person to carry and swing.

Whoosh!

There was a tremendous wind blowing with only one swing of the slaughter sword. The heavy weight was satisfying in nature. However, it was too cumbersome to wear it as an armament, and it was virtually impossible to use it if you’re undercover.

“I wish I could use the equipment I had before I regressed…….”

Jin-Seong was desperate for the equipment he used before his regression.

Jin-Seong preferred to fight with the proper form of weapons depending on the situation when the battle took place, as much as he had the nickname ‘All Master’. He had one weapon that was most appropriate for him.

‘Aether Weapon.’

In response to the user’s will, it could transform into a form of various weapons, and it was the ultimate individual armament that quickly returned to its original form, no matter how strong an attack was.

But without that weapon, he had to carry around the weapons he picks before hand.

‘There’s no room in the locker for the slaughter sword.….’

It was time to think about whether to throw away all the iron weapons.

At that moment.

Ring!

A tarot card appeared in front of Jin-Seong’s eyes.

[Congratulations! You have acquired the Dwarf’s hidden secret weapon. Your achievement, “I got lucky!” will be completed! Achievement Rewards will be given!]

“Oh……It is the second of three accomplishments.”

This time, items were not added to the locker.

Srrrr.

Another tarot rose before his eyes.

[Ten of Swords, Minor Arcana, is supported by the user as a reward for your achievement.]

What popped up was a tarot with ten swords on it. The swords were randomly stuck in the back of a man lying on a floor.

+ Name: Ten of Swords Grade: Minor Arcana. Description: You are now supported by 10 slots to put in your desired weapons. The weapon registered in the slot can be pulled into your hand or put back into the slot without physical restriction. Slots Remaining: 10/10 +

Jin-Seong was interested when he saw the card he had earned.

“Are you saying I can take out or put in as many weapons as you want?”

So Jin-Seong took out the Oriharcon dwarf sword that he had put in the storage box. The Dwarf Sword was characterized by its blade being short, but the black sword was a thick sword and had no guard.

[Would you like to register Oriharcon Dwarf Sword in the slot of the Ten of Swords?]

“Yes.”

Beep! [Oriharcon Dwarf Sword registered in slot 2]

Skkk! At that moment, the Dwarf Sword disappeared with a short light.

[You can call the weapon in the slot by recalling the number along with the image of the weapon you want]

Jin-Seong nodded as he read the guide that popped up in his mind. Then he imagined holding the second Dwarf Sword in his right hand.

Sppfff!

This time, Dwarf Sword reappeared. He felt the weight in his grasp in a blink of an eye.

“……This.”

Jin-Seong didn’t expect much but was surprised by how fast it appeared.

‘This is as good as the Ether Weapon.’

But Jin-Seong realized that wasn’t the end.

‘No, it’s not the same as the Ether Weapon.’

Because. The fact that you can register your weapons in each slot means that you can change your weapons quickly whenever you need them.

The Ether Weapon is obviously a great weapon, but it is nothing more than a pure mass.

Unlike S-class or higher weapons equipped with special effects. The limitation was clear in dealing with a number of enemies because they had to rely solely on the power of the user.

“This will allow me to take the proper weapon and deal with it flexibly depending on the situation.’

So now the three mythical swords that Yushin used.

Tyrbing of the storm. A raging Leviathan. And. Holy sword Excalibur.

This means that he will be able to handle even the three weapons Yushin used to handle at once.

“It was just a good sword at the time when there was no mana, but now I can draw out all the power of the weapon.”‘

Jin-Seong registered the Oriharcon blade in slot three, Long sword in slot four, Hand axe in slot five, and the Spear in slot six. [Ten of Swords, lion claws registered in slot one] [Ten of Swords, Oriharcon Blade registered in slot three] [Ten of Swords, Oriharcon Long Sword registered in slot four] [Ten of Swords, Hand axe registered in…….]

That’s how all weapons were registered up to slot ten. And he tested it out.

Jin-Seong imagined holding the golden oriharcon spheres in his hands with weapon in slot six. A shallow stream of light glistened, and a golden spear naturally clasped in both of his hands.

Jin-Seong threw out the spear, realizing the touch and weight of the cold metal.

Shhhhhk!

It was a clean, and flawless stab. This time, he held the center of the spear and turned his hands from side to side like a windmill.

[Oriharcon Sphere returned to slot six!]

As if the sound of the wind was continuing, the spear disappeared and suddenly a double sword appeared.

Whoosh! The two arms, holding the Oriharcon blade and the Oriharcon long sword, spread wide from side to side and split the air.

“…….”

Jin-Seong briefly stretched out his sword from side to side and returned to his original position.

Then again, the two swords disappeared into the light.

[Oriharcon blade returned to slot three!] [Oriharcon Long Sword returned to slot four!]

This time, he took out a hand axe with one hand. Then he threw it in the wall.

Crack!

“…….”

He imagined it going back to the slot, but the hand axe stuck in the wall didn’t return.

‘You can’t put something you don’t have in your hand back in the slot.’

So Jin-Seong mastered how to use it. He grabbed the Carambit he had stored in slot one and put it into a sheath in his waistline.

In order to continue to be effective in flame resistance, The Eye of Assisi had to be equipped.

“Then…… let’s see how the event goes.”

Although Jin-Seong was lighter than ever since he returned. He was most perfectly armed.

---

Muhyuk tried to meet Kim Oh-sung. Kim Oh-sung’s office was blocked by the living-dead.

“What are you doing?” “Even you, Muhyuk, can’t meet him alone at this time.” “……Why?” “His instructions, sir.” “Get out of the way. I need to tell him something.” “Ha, but he said…….”

At that moment, Muhyuk’s dagger was on the living-dead man’s Adam’s apple.

“Ohhh!”

The frightened dead man fell back on his butt. Muhyuk looked at the dead man who fell on the floor and asked.

“…Are you sure about that?” “Most certainly!” “…….”

And he was in vain to see the living-dead who looked at him like a madman.

‘What am I doing right now?’

He was trying to disturb the chairman because he was swayed by an unknown man. It was something he would never do.

‘I’m really going crazy.’

Then, with his arms stretched out, Muhyuk turned silently.

---

Muhyuk sat absentmindedly. The more he thought about Jin-Seong’s words, the more confused he was.

‘What the hell is his purpose?’

It was then.

“How did you get hurt like this!”

Lee Soo-ah, sitting next to him, shouted as if she was upset.

Lee Soo-ah sat next to Muhyuk and was looking at the wound on his shoulder.

“It’s just a… scratch.”

After the meeting with the chairman failed, Muhyuk took a blank step.

Then he came to his senses and found himself in a prison.

Soo-ah said.

“Who is it? Who made you do this? I’ll scold that person for you!”

At her words, Muhyuk recalled the hideous face of Jin-Seong.

“…Don’t say such a thing, even if you don’t mean it.” “I didn’t know someone as strong as you could get hurt.” “That’s a possibility.”

And while Lee Soo-ah was bandaging him, the silence fell for a momentarily. While the silence fell, Muhyuk looked at Lee Soo-ah silently.

“…You.” “Yes.” “…How are you feeling?” “I’m okay.”

Lee Soo-ah spoke lightly.

“Do you still have a stabbing pain in your whole body?” “It’s always been like that. Don’t worry about me.”

Lee Soo-ah smiled without showing her pain. Muhyuk shook his head at the sight. Then he took a deep breath and asked.

“Don’t you want to live?”

Soo-ah looked at him. There was something strange about Muhyuk’s attitude today.

“…What?”

Muhyuk spoke his honest mind.

“I want you to live.”

Soo-ah stared at the face of Muhyuk. She had to make sure he meant it.

“……I…….”

And the moment Soo-ah opened her mouth.

Whoosh!

The prison door slammed open. Muhyuk instinctively hid Lee Soo-ah behind his back and looked toward the door.

There stood Kim Oh-sung dressed as a priest.

“What he said was true…….”

Next to the priest stood a guard who Muhyuk had saved. The dead man whispered to Kim Oh-sung.

“When he’s done with his day, he always stops by the jail to see that girl…… I think the rumors are probably true.”

The priest’s face was greatly distorted at his words.

“Mr. Chairman!”

Muhyuk tried to explain calmly despite the sudden situation.

However, Kim Oh-sung, strode inside and punched Muhyuk’s cheek.

Booom! Boom! Before he knew it, he began to slap Muhyuk on the cheek with his sharp nails.

Two, three, four to five, and countless slits in the cheek.

“…….”

Muhyuk silently put his hands behind his back and took the hit. Kim Oh-sung calmed down for a moment and later ordered one of the living-dead.

“Whoo…… Now take the sacrifice.” “Oh, mister……!”

Then Lee Soo-ah began to leave the jail cell under the hands of the living-dead. The eyes of Muhyuk, who had been slapped a while ago, suddenly changed.

Whoosh!

He rushed to the dead man who was about to take Lee Soo-ah, bent his arm, threw him on the floor, and put him in the jail cell. Lee Soo-ah stepped back, hiding behind his back.

The dead who were watching it from behind were astonished.

“Cap, Captain……”?” “He’s gone crazy, is he protecting the offering?”

The priest’s angry face suddenly turned blank.

‘…Is it time to throw him away already?’

If he was wandering, there was room to soothe him. So they could use him a few more times. But this act has crossed the line. It was well known to Muhyuk that Lee Soo-ah was an essential sacrifice for the offer. But he was caught protecting the sacrifices. It’s nothing short of a rebellion.

The priest repeatedly raised his hand forward with sharp nails. Muhyuk, who did not know the priest’s thoughts, shouted earnestly.

“Mr. Chairman! I have a suggestion!”

All the living-dead who entered the jail pulled out their swords and pointed at Muhyuk. Kim Oh-sung smiled and approached Muhyuk.

“Yes, tell me.” “I don’t know how you’ll take this, but there’s a way not to sacrifice Lee Soo-ah! And achieve a more complete resurrection of the monarch–”

Pssh! The priest’s hand, which turned into the devil’s hand, penetrated the stomach of Muhyuk.

“…Ahh?!!”

Lee Soo-ah in the back screamed. The priest spoke clearly in the ear of Muhyuk.

“There is no better resurrection than offering Lee Soo-ah, you stupid hound. And…….”

The priest’s face was distorted with anger.

“Since when was the son of a bitch able to make a suggestion?”

Whoosh! The priest pulled out his hand and stabbed Muhyuk’s side.

“Ahh!”

Muhyuk collapsed.

“Oh, mister……!”

Lee Soo-ah was immediately dragged away by the other living-dead.

“Mr. Chairman……!” “…….”

Kim Oh-sung looked down at Muhyuk with a blank face.

Now everything is done. Therefore, if there is any danger, it will only be drastically cut off.

At that time, Muhyuk held Kim Oh-sung’s trousers with a bloody hand and stretched.

“Please, please……Lee Soo-ah…… Help her…….”

Muhyuk begged, holding onto his bleeding side. Muhyuk said in a broken voice in agony.

“That’s all…… If you…do that…I’ll do anything for you…I’ll……!”

However, Kim Oh-sung’s voice was cold.

“A new era will come soon. The new era must be led by a new man. But I don’t deserve to lead a new era in rejecting the grace of the monarch like you…….”

Kim Oh-sung left the jail cell, shaking off his bloody hands. Muhyuk cried.

“Mr. Chairman……! How could you do this? Have you forgotten how much I sacrificed for you!”

When Oh-sung heard that, he stopped and twisted the corners of his mouth.

“So, the dirty son of a bitch thinks he’s human.”

Kim Oh-sung laughed and ordered the living-dead.

“If he spills blood, incinerate it.”

Clink! And the jail cell doors closed.

“Gasp…!”

Muhyuk shouted while grabbing his side.

“Kim Oh-sung! How could you do this to me? Why, why don’t you even listen to me?”

Muhyuk’s eyes were red and saliva flowed down his mouth. Muhyuk’s eyes turned to the bed in the corner of the jail cell.

Under the bed. The mana battery given by Jin-Seong was hidden.
