There was something Seol Jihu heard a long time ago when he was a low-leveled Earthling who could only dream of becoming a High Ranker. What filled up Seol Jihu’s head and heart in this disastrous life-or-death moment wasn’t nervousness or a sense of crisis. Funnily enough, it was guilt. He felt sorry because he was the one who came up with this plan. He wanted to make up for it if he could, even if he had to throw away his life. If he was going to die anyway, he wanted to…-

Seol Jihu stood speechlessly for a while. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t shocked. Success had been at arm’s reach, but just as he grabbed it, it had disappeared like a mirage. He only realized after the matter that he had failed, not succeeded. The shock he received was even more prominent because of it. At that moment, he felt a hand being placed on his shoulder. When Seol Jihu turned his head in a daze, he saw Philip Muller staring at him with sunken eyes. “I don’t know how…

The view of the territory that the Parasite Queen had settled in was similar to what he had seen in the Delphinion Duchy. But there was a difference. How should he put it? Seol Jihu felt the urge to get out of here as soon as possible. It began the moment he first set foot on the rotting soil. He could feel his energy drain and his strength weaken when all he did was stand there. His headache worsened and his physical condition deteriorated with every breath. On top of that, the world looked…

The carriages raced to their destination at full speed. The speed of Horuses trained for military use far surpassed the speed of normal Horuses that pulled ordinary carriages. Of course, having run day and night, they tottered from fatigue by the time they passed Haramark. However, the speed of the expedition team did not slow down thanks to King Prihi preparing them a new set of carriages. The team immediately got on the new carriages and set off toward Delphinion Duchy. The atmosphere inside…

“Humanity will form a separate expedition team to infiltrate the heart of the Empire and return with the last remaining piece of the stele.” The gist of the plan was simple. Seol Jihu was taught to give simple descriptions so that the objective could ideally be described in one sentence. People reacted calmly. Thanks to Baek Haeju, they found out that they still had some time to secure the stele. But that wasn’t enough. There were still a ton of problems that needed to be resolved. It…

“Yun Seora…!” Yun Seohui’s face contorted with pain. She tried to scream with a venomous expression, but she couldn’t finish her sentence. That was because Yun Seora’s longsword swung down without hesitation. “You bi…!” Chop. The blade slashed Yun Seohui’s throat, a fountain of blood spurting out along with her head. Tk! Drrr…. The severed head spun in the air before falling on the ground and slowly coming to a stop. Yun Seohui’s long, silky hair was spread across the…

“Not bad.” Yun Seohui’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled. Phi Sora flinched, as did others. The reason they were in this mess, the reason Roe Scheherazade chose to betray humanity, was Sinyoung. Of course, the order might not have come directly from Yun Seohui, but that didn’t change the fact that her attitude as Sinyoung’s representative was inappropriate. They certainly didn’t expect her to break down in remorse, but it puzzled them that she showed no signs of…

Why, why, why, why!? Roe Scheherazade’s mindless screams, the pent-up anger that burst out, became an echo that continually struck everyone’s ears. She clenched her fists tight and panted for a while. When she eventually raised her head… “…I know.” She looked down at Seol Jihu and smiled faintly. “Of course, I know. I’m acting like a child who’s throwing a tantrum.” “Yes, you did not do anything wrong, Representative Seol.” “You just did not choose…

Strange mana suddenly crept up on his body. It was as if an invisible wave penetrated through him. Just as Seol Jihu and Yun Seohui shut their mouths from the odd sensation… Woong! A short but imposing noise resounded over the area. Next, white light began to glimmer in their line of sight. The streetlights illuminating the city flickered crazily as if they had gone mad. Moreover, terrifying energy could be felt rising up, one that seemed to be on the verge of bursting out of…

Roe Scheherazade waited for the commotion outside to intensify before leaving the ruin. The road to the center of Gorad Boga was a complicated maze, so she went to greet Sung Shihyun and Abhorrent Charity to guide the way. “For the queen to personally come to greet the invaders of her kingdom…. That’s some really messed up shit. But if what they say is true, I understand why you’d go to such lengths.” “So you have heard about me?” Despite Sung Shihyun’s sarcastic tone, Roe…
