Chapter 120

Level 2 Player

Sahyeolmun’s Plot (2)

“Kkami.”

“Kaak! Kaak!”

At Jin-su’s call, Kkami flew into the sky. Then Jin-su and Shin Su-a went around restaurants or bars and collected information.

Yet, the results were all the same.

‘Something is strange.’

The rumor was spreading too quickly. On top of that, the words that the one who massacred the Sahyeolmun branch is the Light Dividing Divine Sword Jo Unhaeng, a player affiliated with Changseongmun, were spreading like truth.

‘The rumor is too specific and has consistency.’

This is never a rumor floating accidentally. It was a rumor someone intentionally spread with a purpose.

‘Even if only a day passes, all kinds of flesh will attach.’

Around tomorrow, it was an atmosphere where dozens of people who directly saw the scene of the Light Dividing Divine Sword Jo Unhaeng massacring the Sahyeolmun branch would come out.

“Kaak! Kaak!”

At that time, Kkami sent scouting information.

‘Those guys.’

Although unknown exactly how many, roughly about 20 players were going around in pairs and spreading the same rumor here and there.

Jin-su caught one of them.

“Why are you going around spreading such a rumor?”

“What sound is that? Spreading a rumor?”

“We have never done such a thing.”

At Jin-su’s question, the 2 players answered with expressions as if not knowing the reason. Looking only at their expressions, it was an appearance of really catching an innocent person. However, the fact that they are going around spreading the rumor was a matter already clearly confirmed with Kkami’s eyes and ears.

“Are you affiliated with Heukhamun?”

Heukhamun was a sect made by Musung origin players who professionally do the work of collecting information or manipulating information.

“Heukhamun? What sect is that?”

“We are affiliated with Jangseongmun.”

The two players still acted with calm expressions. However, it did not work on Jin-su.

“Stop the lies since I know all? Who is the client?”

Once Jin-su raised mana, activated an intimidation skill, and asked while emitting a soft killing intent, the two players’ legs trembled.

“We also do not know. We only accepted the request because they gave large points and requested, great hero.”

“We only received it because it seemed we would die on the spot if refusing the request. Please save us. It was absolutely not the intention of wanting to disgrace Changseongmun.”

The two players thought Jin-su was affiliated with Changseongmun or a master who has a connection with Changseongmun.

“There is nothing known about the client?”

Once the killing intent Jin-su emits thickened, the two players quickly opened their mouths.

“Looking at the momentum or speech, it seemed a demonic path origin master.”

“It was not a master of a level that acts in this city. It is certain that he came from an upper city.”

“According to my expectation, I think he requested with the intention of making Sahyeolmun and Changseongmun fight.”

“I think it is a master affiliated with Geomsalmun or Heuklimbang.”

Once the thought that they might really die came, the firmly closed mouths of the two players opened smoothly.

“Is that all?”

Jin-su asked last.

“Yes, that is so. I told all that I know. It is real.”

“I also have nothing more known.”

“We also do not originally receive such requests. But because it seemed we would die if not receiving, we received it unavoidably.”

“That’s right. If it is discovered that we are spreading false rumors, we can become public enemies of Changseongmun and Sahyeolmun. Why would we do such a crazy act.”

It did not seem they were lying.

‘It would have been good if found a bit earlier.’

If so, he would have gathered the sect members of Heukhamun and prevented them from spreading the rumor. And if the client comes for retaliation, it is fine if catching that guy and digging out the behind.

But it was already too late.

In a situation where the rumor spread as much as it would spread, the client’s purpose was already the same as achieved.

‘Still, it is good to continue monitoring. They might try to remove those guys.’

When Musung origin players want to hide their secrets, they do killing and destroying the mouth. Because the dead have no words.

“Then go.”

Jin-su released the two players.

“Thank you, great hero. Really thank you.”

“Since the heart is this wide. You will really receive fortune.”

The two players bowed their heads to Jin-su and then moved their steps urgently as if fleeing.

“Kkami.”

“Kaak! Kaak!”

At Jin-su’s call, Kkami answered as if not to worry and flew into the sky.

‘Through Kkami, I will be able to confirm whether their words are truth or lies.’

Also, if the client comes to kill and destroy the mouth, he could notice immediately.

‘Although it cannot be helped if not coming.’

Then the whereabouts of the client have no choice but to become eternally unknown.

“What will you do now?”

“I have to go to Changseongmun.”

At Shin Su-a’s question, Jin-su answered with a calm tone.

When Jin-su arrived at Floor 200 before regression, Changseongmun and Sahyeolmun were in the middle of waging a fierce war of dying and killing each other. That is why the war of Changseongmun and Sahyeolmun might only be a matter that will occur anyway being slightly advanced.

‘However, I cannot provide that cause.’

Leaving the connection and bad connection before regression, he had no thought of quietly watching a slaughter battle of dying and killing each other occurring due to a misunderstanding arising from the action Jin-su himself did.

‘I will prevent the war.’

He had no thought of helping Changseongmun and antagonizing Sahyeolmun. He was only thinking of revealing the truth and preventing the war of Changseongmun and Sahyeolmun from occurring.

‘Well, then in the end, Sahyeolmun and I will wage war.’

That was a matter Jin-su had to handle.

‘As a result, it might become an act of helping Changseongmun.’

The intention itself was different.

Because it was not helping Changseongmun but preventing them from seeing damage due to a misunderstanding.

‘The quarrel with Sahyeolmun was also not that I wanted it to become like that.’

To begin with, Jin-su had never antagonized Sahyeolmun. It is only that Sahyeolmun first came and attacked Jin-su.

‘It is also not a matter of quietly offering the neck to a guy who rushes saying he will kill me.’

Also, the person Jin-su himself was not a sage who can smile mercifully and forgive an opponent who attacks with malice.

Jin-su arrived at the Changseongmun branch. The atmosphere of the Changseongmun branch was somehow gloomy unlike a few days ago.

‘There are many watching eyes.’

Near the Changseongmun branch, not even one ant was visible. But a bit away, a group of players were watching the Changseongmun branch with gazes full of interest.

‘Did they come to watch the fight?’

It was a situation where Earth origin players, Musung origin players, and Arius origin players were all gathered.

‘It is good to cover the face.’

Jin-su wore the Black Dragon’s Cursed Armor Set. Since it is an integrated type with even a helmet, the face could be perfectly covered. Shin Su-a who saw that appearance quickly took out a mask containing a recognition reduction skill from the inventory and wore it.

“Leo, will you go play elsewhere?”

“Nyaang?”

“It is fine even if going outside the city.”

“Nyang!”

Leo who was tilting his head became greatly excited at the words that it is fine even if going outside the city and came down from Jin-su’s shoulder as is.

“You have to be careful.”

“Nyang nyang!”

At Jin-su’s request, Leo answered shortly as if not to worry and then ran out in an instant and hid his appearance.

‘Leo is on the noticeable side.’

Because he was so small and cute, it was to the degree of hard to forget once seen.

‘Now shall we go.’

Once Jin-su approached toward the Changseongmun branch, the gazes of the players who were watching concentrated all at once.

Creeak!

At that time, the door of the Changseongmun branch opened. Then Ak Chanseo and the players affiliated with Changseongmun poured out in a rush.

‘Are they trying to avoid the fight?’

That seemed correct.

The players affiliated with Changseongmun would also have heard the rumor that spread throughout the start city in one day. Since it is a certain situation that the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun will invade soon, it seems they chose avoidance rather than fight.

‘Wise.’

Since it is a situation of wearing a wrong false accusation, they can also protest the unfairness. However, the speed the rumor is spreading now was absolutely not normal. On top of that, due to Sahyeolmun’s inclination, there is no way they would listen to Changseongmun’s protest and retreat nicely.

A situation where a fight will unconditionally occur, and a situation where the odds of winning are close to zero.

Rather than choosing to fight and die to protect pride, it was a more practical and wise choice to avoid the body for now even if being cursed as a coward and then clear the false accusation later.

‘It is not a choice Musung origin players can easily make.’

Musung origin players live by honor and die by honor. Especially in the case of righteous path origins, pride is strong, and they think the sect and personal reputation more important than anything.

‘There were also quite a few cases of walking into a place where death is obvious to protect reputation.’

Probably the one who made that decision is the branch leader Ak Chanseo.

“Heo! To think the Swift Spear Hero Ak Chanseo makes such a choice? Even while seeing with my own two eyes, I cannot believe it.”

“It seems he became more scared because he got old.”

“Yeah. From now on, I will have to call him not the Swift Spear Hero but the Swift Spear Escape.”

“To think the Swift Spear Hero Ak Chanseo pulls out his tail, tsk tsk tsk.”

“The reputation so far was all an illusion.”

The Musung origin players murmured and badmouthed Ak Chanseo.

Probably this is not the end.

‘He will also suffer all kinds of contempt from the same Changseongmun origin players.’

Even knowing that, he made such a choice to save the players of the Changseongmun branch in the start city.

‘I am dying of sorry.’

It is not a matter that occurred solely due to Jin-su’s wrongdoing. The guy who spread the wrong rumor and Sahyeolmun who provided the cause are the biggest problems. However, the fact that the aftermath derived due to the matter Jin-su committed drove Ak Chanseo into such a desperate situation is a fact that can never be ignored.

Shushushuk!

At that time, a group of players popped out and blocked the front of Ak Chanseo and the players affiliated with the Changseongmun branch.

“Where is the great hero Swift Spear Hero Ak Chanseo of the world going so busily?”

One player asked Ak Chanseo with a sarcastic tone.

“It is the Blood Dog Hand So Chanseong!”

“The elites of Sahyeolmun were already monitoring...”

“Tsk tsk tsk, it ended. It ended.”

The spectators clicked their tongues.

‘They were waiting from the beginning.’

Jin-su clicked his tongue. Sahyeolmun seemed to have no thought of missing the players affiliated with the Changseongmun branch including Ak Chanseo.

‘Huh?’

At that time, the scene Kkami transmitted was transmitted in Jin-su’s mind.

‘Raid?’

The 2 players affiliated with Heukhamun who spat information to Jin-su earlier were being attacked by someone.

‘That guy is the client.’

Listening to the words of the raided players affiliated with Heukhamun, it was certain.

‘Continue chasing.’

Jin-su gave an instruction to Kkami. In his heart, he wanted to run right now and catch the client who instigated to spread false rumors. However, now was not such a situation.

First, saving Ak Chanseo and the players affiliated with the Changseongmun branch was first.

“How can you be certain that our Changseongmun is the true culprit with only rumors without even evidence and persecute!”

“Since heaven knows and earth knows that the cruel massacre that occurred in the Sahyeolmun branch is the work of Changseongmun, where are you making excuses! And if not Changseongmun, who dares touch our Sahyeolmun?”

At Ak Chanseo’s protest, So Chanseong answered confidently.

“In the end, it means there is no evidence.”

“Heung! The appearance of you guys fleeing urgently is precisely the evidence that you are the true culprits who committed this massacre! Today, I will receive the blood price of the dead Sahyeolmun sect members in this place!”

Srrrng!

So Chanseong ignored Ak Chanseo’s words and drew the sword.

Clang clang clang!

At the same time, the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun drew weapons all at once. Once the situation became like this, the players affiliated with Changseongmun also drew weapons. Because they cannot die sitting still.

At the moment the verbal argument was about to spread into a force collision, Jin-su stepped forward.

“What is that crazy guy?”

“Yeah, if intervening in the Sahyeolmun and Changseongmun fight, a good appearance cannot be seen.”

“Is there a connection with a player affiliated with Changseongmun?”

“Foolish. Even if intervening, only dying together like a dog.”

“Still, the chivalry is amazing.”

“Being amazing is being foolish.”

The surrounding people murmured while looking at Jin-su heading toward the space where the players affiliated with Changseongmun and Sahyeolmun were confronting while each drawing their weapons.

“What are you?”

So Chanseong asked toward Jin-su with a puzzled expression.

“I am the party who annihilated the Sahyeolmun branch in the start city.”

Jin-su said with a calm tone. And at those words, not only the players affiliated with Sahyeolmun and Changseongmun but even the watching players momentarily lost what to say.
