Return of the Archmage

Chapter 24

3.

Naturally, the scope of Lee Hye-sung’s flash included Han Tae-sung and Han Seo-young, who were scattered.

The ordeal faced by Han Tae-sung, a level 3 user, who was in despair of overwhelming power!

As soon as he recovers his vision by squeezing the remaining mana, his mouth opens wide to the inner appearance.

“Did you kill them all?”

I was so surprised that I couldn’t even make a joke to tell Pia apart.

I don’t know if I can say this on the subject of a single drop, but wasn’t the enemy’s level too high to be ashamed of?

All five people used the auras that were only available at level 50.

It’s not just the level of adding mana to a weapon.

That’s what I’m saying.

There is even a saying that if a sword overlaid with skill and ora and a sword overlaid with mana face each other, the sword overlaid with only 100 horsepower will break.

Lee Hye-sung organized such users by himself.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve fought a man.”

Besides, he is incredibly calm.

“Hyesung, are you okay?”

“What about you? Hurry up and eat the recovery potion.”

“Oh, yeah.”

Rather, I was worried about Han Seo-young, who was injured.

I don’t think it’s Lee Hye-sung she knew for a moment.

And then I realize it.

“No. It was very different from the comet I knew a month ago.”

I am not denying the reality.

Getting used to it.

It is inevitable that Lee Hye-sung, who has been with her for decades, suddenly comes to mind, but she is accepting it.

That’s why I could understand.

Under the current circumstances, that’s all I needed to understand, so I quickly regained my composure.

The same goes for Han Taesung.

I was just embarrassed that user killed user, but I’ve seen user die many times.

“What do they do, by the way?”

“Do I have to report it?”

“I’m afraid the problem is going to get bigger.

Han Seo-young and Han Tae-sung both knew that this kind of thing happens all the time.

Also, the fact that they were in direct contact and that they were about to die has greatly reduced their fears.

The biggest comfort was that he didn’t kill her with his own hands.

Meanwhile, calm Lee Hye-sung searched the bodies.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m curious.”

“What?”

“You guys, I didn’t mean to take the crack core with me in the first place. This is the exit and it’s been more than 10 minutes since we took care of the last monster, but we were here without coming back.”

I searched and checked.

Chinese users who attacked them, why they were cracked.

“He could have been resting.”

He shakes his head at Han Tae-sung’s words.

“You said you were at least level 50. Besides, they can handle weapons professionally. You come all the way to the exit quickly and sit down and rest? If I didn’t have time in the first place, I would have picked up the core.”

“Then why….”

Then he lifts his head, peeling off the bodies’ armor.

“I don’t know. It’s me.”

“…what?”

“Maybe he was bored, maybe he was trying to pull some strings.”

I was just curious.

Core is the source of life for users and the reason why they risk their lives to crack.

I tried to leave them in the dungeon rather than collect them.

Why did I do that?

Is there any other income that can be gained from it?

That’s just it.

“I’ve searched everywhere, so I can’t ask. Let’s just get what we need and get out.”

“What are you going to do with the body?”

“I’m going to leave it and close it. Do you have anything to say about the murder?”

“But it was self-defense. There’s a video.”

“That’s great. Do I just have to spray it and wait until they get revenge from their colleagues?”

“…….”

You don’t have to get caught up in it any more.

Lee Hye-sung never forgives those who seek his life, but he doesn’t even gamble dangerously with his powerful opponent right now.

“You can get revenge later. If it’s meant to be, it’s bound to be.”

With that said, he gathered the defenses and weapons he had taken off the body.

“Crazy. Level 4 armor and weapons.”

“What the hell are they?”

Han Seo-young and Han Tae-sung, who checked the options, frowned.

Perhaps, I’m aware that I could get caught up in something really serious.

“Let’s get out of here.”

Han Seo-young urged the recovery potion.

“It’s a little disappointing, though. I haven’t found anything.”

Following immediately, Lee Hye-sung comforted Han Tae-sung, who was disappointed.

“Why didn’t I get anything? Selling these would be better than having a few cracks.”

“……Huh? You’re taking it out?”

The hurried steps stop.

When I turned around, I saw Lee Hye-sung throwing away the cores that had already lost light and packing armor and weapons.

“What if their colleagues see me while I’m selling?”

A four-level armor set is a whopping five.

Weapon, too.

It’s no wonder you’ll leave a mark if you sell it.

“I heard user department stores don’t care about the source of the product. And I’m sure I’ll be able to secure my identity.”

“That said, if it’s a bigger organization than I thought…….”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

It neatly blocks logical rebuttals.

He hid his anxiety at the thought that he would have died if it wasn’t for Lee Hye-sung anyway, and did not ask any more questions.

I’m sure you have an idea.

Lee Hye-sung, who has a lot of thoughts, proudly brought it up.

“Oh, and the level and achievement scores have risen.”

“Performance score? What?”

“Beginner player killer. I guess we can kill the user. Tell me whenever you want to wake up, too. I’ll upload the video to the community and call their colleagues.”

“No, I don’t want to.”

“Me, too.”

He shook his head and went to the exit faster than ever.

[Closes a 3-level crack][Accomplishment: Crack closure 3Lv’ achieved][Acquired Achievement Score (5)]

I closed the crack.

Han Seo-young suddenly saw Lee Hye-sung while looking at the disappearing crack gate.

“Hyesung.”

“Uh.”

“But our crack clear time…….”

“I know.”

“…Will it be okay?”

It’s less than an hour.

It’s level 3 crack.

Three of us, an hour.

It is a time that cannot be explained in common sense.

Lee Hye-sung’s solo crack 10 days ago took 52 hours.

No matter how difficult the level of difficulty decreases with each increase in users, it is too fast even if it is shortened according to the type and map of the dungeon.

“It won’t be okay. You’ll think it’s weird. But it’s better than leaving it alone. If you’re going to be suspicious anyway, there’s a big difference between having evidence and not having evidence.”

“What if the people in there knew that they were in this crack?”

“You don’t have to spray the video, you’ll find it. If you’re a state-run guy, it’s a new party you’ve filed for crack entry here, so it’s easy to rob.”

At the same time, Lee Hye-sung realized why he brought out the armor and weapons of those inside.

“……You stepped on the poo properly.”

“Pray me, I hope they’re not that organized.”

Han Seo-young tore her hair.

Why did he choose to crack such a corner construction site?

It even makes you blame yourself for not having to do it.

There is no saying that even if a monster’s nose hair is pulled out, don’t touch other users’ fluffs.

Once entangled, it is a real headache with users.

Especially, he is a user from other countries.

Those who are likely to be a group of criminals, not even a personal grudge.

“Please, I hope they’re just being chased.

“Yeah, like that. If they’re good enough to rip out information from the user management headquarters, our personalities will be robbed no matter what they do. It’s best not to care, but if it’s used, let’s pray and crack it.”

It happened.

The best way is to raise the level so that you can cope with it.

I have insurance in mind.

***

The second meeting with Kang In-ho was made.

“I thought you wouldn’t contact me. Nice to see you again. Friend.”

“I even gave you a sword, so you should thank me.”

Through Lee Hyesung’s call.

In a room bar, Lee Hye-sung immediately stuck out a backpack.

Kang In-ho, who accepted it, checked the contents.

“Hm?”

“Please take care of it. Can I ask you this much between friends?”

Kang In-ho showed interest instead of frowning at his brazen request.

“Level 4 armor set, I think it’s Chinese. Where is it?”

“Somehow I got tangled up. It’s a little too much to just sell.”

“Do you want to be a shield?”

“Level 8 crack, don’t you want to go?”

“You’re going to cooperate.

“If anything comes, there should be something to go.”

In the following conversation, he showed more interest than interest.

“What an interesting friend. Did you know who they were?”

“He started wielding weapons out of the blue.”

“It’s the first-ranked guild in China, but it’s a guild under the Chinese government and the average level of 53, so there’s nothing good about it. So what about their owners?

“Well, I picked it up.”

“I see.”

But I didn’t ask any more questions.

Instead of asking, I waited.

“I went into a level 3 crack, but there was nothing. The monsters were all dead, the core was still off, and I picked them up and went to the exit, and they were off.”

I knew you’d tell me.

You can guess why the defenses are separated without saying.

“Five, he’s a lot more than I thought. I heard you’re level 13.”

“I’ve gone up a bit, and I’ve got another trick.”

When he heard the story, Kang In-ho no longer laughed.

And he brought up a story that he didn’t have to say.

“There’s been talk of China studying how to force a dungeon to break, and it’s been said to have been a success recently. Don’t tell me…….”

“I don’t think I’m supposed to be in there.”

“The key is more than a certain amount of horsepower in the dungeon. Best practice is crack core.”

“I don’t know. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”

I said I wouldn’t listen, but I already said it.

It could be just speculation.

However, Chinese users, smugglers, crack cores, government guild members.

There are too many words intertwined to be a coincidence.

Lee Hye-sung sighed as he saw Kang In-ho nodding his head.

He’s my sword and I’ve known him since I gave him my armor, but he’s clearly not in his right mind.

“Anyway, I’ll take care of this. It’s not good to have friends involved, so make sure you hide behind me.”

“Thank you.”

Of course he is friendly and reliable.

“The price of processing is the price of information.”

“I think I’ve got more help. If it was a crack brake experiment disguised as crack hair, it would have been a disaster.”

It became a deal that each other wanted.

He shakes hands with a smile.

But the amicable drinking party didn’t last long.

Whoosh-

Kang In-ho’s trembling face when he sees his cell phone and text message.

Lee Hye-sung’s wit was acknowledged by Dragon Road Sage.

“Don’t tell me.”

He hit the ball, but failed to achieve what he wanted.

Because Lee Hye-sung’s cell phone rang, too.

It was Han Seo-young.

“Hyesung! Crack brake! Level 5 crack brake! My town!”

Kang In-ho got up from his seat.

Lee Hye-sung followed suit.

“Give me a ride.”

“Let’s go.”

In the middle of Seoul, the gates of hell opened.
