Chapter 49

Good world. If only money.

Seo I-hyeon spent a considerably long time at the cartel.

First what to do here was only buying a greatsword.

Briefly worried whether to request opening the safe, but decided to tell Lee Yeong-su later and look into.

Honestly saying seems one can just open, but if doing so and just in case a trap activates and valuables that might be inside break only oneself loses, right.

"Huh? Wait."

Seo I-hyeon realized the fact that there is a method to confirm inside the safe.

'This just confirming with the shadow eye is enough, right.'

If using the shadow eye well one can also grasp whether some special device is on the safe.

Even if not knowing things related to mystery one can know mere mechanical devices.

'No, just using the shadow warehouse is enough, right.'

Seo I-hyeon could know how hardened his thinking is.

Somehow lived too long only passively in that world so the head hardened hard seems.

Can't take out the safe and confirm at the cartel so this one has to try at home later.

Anyway Seo I-hyeon very slowly carefully looked around at the cartel, and also bought a greatsword.

Black sword same material, and also chose the same color.

Whether the materials entering are important similar price to five black swords.

Well, since Black will use not regrettable the money.

'Looking forward.'

Curious how well Black will use this greatsword. Probably if no particular variables, one will be able to confirm today.

Anyway after doing things to do and spending time as much as possible left the cartel.

Going outside exactly the day became dark as Seo I-hyeon wants.

Seo I-hyeon as soon as leaving the cartel building enjoyed the gazes sticking with the whole body and moved steps.

Now time to go fight.

'But the gazes increased sharply from earlier? Personnel added?'

Because the cartel's location is Gangnam busy area people passing by were considerably many.

But among them people looking at Seo I-hyeon almost none. Everyone busy with their own way.

So the gazes gathered now most one can regard as guys who came looking for or catching Seo I-hyeon.

'Roughly... about fifteen one can regard? No, thirteen? Fourteen?'

Gazes stuck then fell so not exact, but if grasping with the number continuously stuck seems fourteen is right.

Seo I-hyeon without hesitation set the direction and walked quickly.

Where to go already decided while spending time at the cartel.

A place found by diligently digging and digging this vicinity with the map app.

If walking quickly about 30 minutes there is a fairly large park. A park with fewer people than expected so if setting a barrier appropriately a just good place to fight.

The problem was the point that the barrier magic Seo I-hyeon knows needs materials.

In the current situation a good material is the diaphragm. Because one can set a barrier of the method of separating from the outside.

But no way Seo I-hyeon pulls out the diaphragm just to use barrier once, right.

'How painful that is.'

Not something one can just pull out continuously wanting to pull out. First one has to cut the stomach, particularly?

Naturally Seo I-hyeon had no thought of using barrier magic with own body as material.

But okay. Because there is the cartel.

Already bought related goods at the cartel.

"Good world. If only money."

Originally to set a proper barrier, talent is needed.

This field work is so. Whatever to use one has to have talent.

Then do people without talent can't use anything, again that's not.

There are goods for people without talent.

The barrier generator contained in Seo I-hyeon's shadow now, bought at the cartel today is exactly such a thing.

Well, not equipment that sets a great barrier. Just a recognition obstruction barrier.

A simple barrier that makes one unable to cognize the appearance inside the barrier from outside.

Seo I-hyeon arrived at the destination park. As expected as anticipated not many people.

And those not many people will soon leave here. If Seo I-hyeon operates the barrier.

Seo I-hyeon took out the barrier generator from the shadow. A flat metal box. Color was murky yellow. There was a round hole in the middle, that hole was exactly the core.

Seo I-hyeon took out a cartridge that would fit exactly that hole from the shadow.

This is exactly the ether cartridge. A tool that makes people without talent able to use goods containing abilities.

Seo I-hyeon stuck the cartridge in the hole.

Click.

Something exactly meshed and the cartridge combined with the barrier generator.

Hum.

With a low vibration sound the barrier generator operated. Seo I-hyeon placed it on the floor.

The range of the barrier was fairly wide. Not a large park, but the barrier covered the entire park.

The people who were in the park as if possessed by something left the park. More precisely left outside the barrier.

The people who left the barrier didn't even give gaze this way. As if even deleted the word park itself from the head.

Seo I-hyeon stood like that and waited a bit. Still the gazes were felt. 14 gazes.

And the owners of those gazes began to enter the park one by one.

This barrier is a barrier targeting ordinary people. Can't block ability users. Also even if ordinary people if clearly cognizing the barrier doesn't work.

So one can regard as a barrier that only lets in people of this field.

Seems nothing special, but the price is no joke. First the barrier generator was 3 thousand coins, the ether cartridge 1 thousand coins.

Burned a full 400 million on this one.

Expenditure was large, but okay. Anyway thinking of replenishing all.

How replenish? Naturally one has to receive from those guys entering the park without even fear now.

If good equipment one can shake off that thoroughly and sell and it will be fairly profitable.

Hearing from Lee Yeong-su a place called Cheonra and a place called Arachne stepped forward.

Seems organizations with fairly names and skills, so the equipment used wouldn't be good?

'By the way not all entering?'

Ten entered the park, four not entering and outside.

'The ones outside are Cheonra.'

Confirming with the shadow eye, those guys who were watching from when at the officetel.

'The ten who entered now are Arachne.'

A group made of eight men and two women.

Roughly scanned, everyone has a spider-shaped tattoo on the neck.

Geomuhwe also did so is tattooing on the neck a trend?

Anyway Seo I-hyeon found from the leader who commands the Arachne side people.

Will fight, and will move first before those play some tricks. Still before that wanted to exchange even a few words of conversation if possible.

At least one has to confirm whether those are really Arachne, and came to catch Seo I-hyeon degree, right.

Finding the leader wasn't difficult. Because stood out the most.

Everyone wearing pitch-black clothes, alone wearing white clothes. If that guy is not the leader a bit funny.

Seo I-hyeon looking at the white clothes asked.

"Arachne?"

The man in white clothes, Mun Chung-bae grinning smiled.

"How knew? Right. If knowing the talk will be easier. Let's end with conversation. If something wanted say. Will actively reference. So just go quietly. Just wearing this on the neck is enough."

Mun Chung-bae took out one dog collar from the bosom and showed.

Seo I-hyeon looked at the dog collar with speechless eyes.

Not an ordinary dog collar. Because usually don't embed such a large jewel on a dog collar.

The appearance of the jewel somehow looked similar to the ether cartridge stuck in the barrier generator.

"This nothing special. Just a degree of slightly restraining freedom? A degree of not able to move limbs greatly and tightly locking ether. Not painful and if not eating other mind not inconvenient either. How, okay?"

Would that be okay.

Seo I-hyeon frowning asked.

"Did that shape absolutely have to make like that? That you directly made, right?"

"Right. In our organization also a maker with good ability. The shape can't be helped. Because the shape considerably affects the performance."

"The shape affects the performance?"

Such a thing is first hearing again.

Seo I-hyeon looking at the dog collar then suddenly something came to mind.

"That don't slaves also wear such a collar?"

"Oh, deep in that side. Right. Even when doing slave play use such things a bit."

If the shape affects, isn't that a collar used when subjugating as a slave?

Not anyway disliked, now disliked more.

"But the jewel embedded there, that ether cartridge?"

"Right. We customized a bit. Shape pretty? How? Don't want to try wearing once?"

Seo I-hyeon only chuckled. No reason to particularly answer. Anyway while doing trivial talk roughly examined the ones surrounding himself.

Everyone holding equipment, not things like dog collars, mainly things like nets or ropes.

Saying Arachne using abilities like spider webs?

Anyway no thought of standing still here and receiving that.

Seo I-hyeon right away used shadow movement.

Seo I-hyeon who disappeared as if sinking to the floor surged at the edge of the park, that is the end of the barrier.

When Seo I-hyeon surged from the shadow not alone. Black and White surged together.

Seo I-hyeon additionally took out a greatsword from the shadow.

"Alright, gift."

Black received the greatsword Seo I-hyeon handed. Expression not visible, but somehow seemed very happy. Just the feeling was so.

Seo I-hyeon looked at Black and White once each.

Somehow seems stronger than when first made. This also just the feeling was so.

Somehow seems did the draw from the void well. Seems gradually becoming stronger while adapting to the body.

Such cases not none at all, but really extremely rare.

But that extremely rare case hit two consecutively.

'Whether I am lucky, or the void connected from Earth is a bit different one doesn't know.'

Whatever it is what correlation. If subordinates are strong good.

"The things those are holding, cut all. If not able cut the arms."

As soon as Seo I-hyeon's instruction fell Black and White ran toward the Arachne agents.

A terrifying speed. Adding a bit exaggeration close to teleportation.

The three swords stuck on White's back floated in the air. And flew drawing graceful curves toward three Arachne agents.

White swung own sword toward the rope held in the hand of a nearby Arachne agent.

Shugagagagak!

The rope the Arachne agent was holding in the hand instantly split into pieces and dropped on the floor.

That was the same for the agents who received the flying swords.

White's skill so fast and precise, they without even flowing a drop of blood only the ropes and nets held in the hands shattered.

While White was fulfilling Seo I-hyeon's instruction so precisely like that, Black was swinging the large greatsword.

Charged at a terrifying speed and rotated the body and swung the greatsword using centrifugal force.

The tip of the greatsword accurately grazed the ropes and nets the Arachne agents held in the hands and passed.

Just slightly grazed, but the result was never light.

Ropes and nets all burst. Not a degree of shattering but disassembled into strands of thread.

Seo I-hyeon watching that scenery from behind stuck out his tongue.

"Wow, really great."

Before seeing Black fighting at Etherix judged as knight commander grade.

But seeing now above that.

Not only Black but White also so.

The two styles different but almost similar grade seen.

Anyway Seo I-hyeon leisurely waited for the result. Seeing seems will end soon.

Seo I-hyeon also didn't forget sticking one shadow eye near the ones watching outside the barrier.

No thought of missing those at all. Well, bringing is not even work.

* * *

Mun Chung-bae leading Arachne's capture team now seemed the mind would fly away.

At first regarded as nothing special.

Contact came from the Cheonra side that found the target, and earnestly requested to be careful because not an ordinary guy.

But Mun Chung-bae regarded lightly. Because the team and equipment he brought today were literally the highest grade.

In Mun Chung-bae's judgment at this degree even guys who came out from the Management Bureau combat department one can catch.

Such Mun Chung-bae's guess broke while confirming that Seo I-hyeon is not alone but has two colleagues.

Crazy skill.

"Shit, how much is all that."

Of course company-owned equipment, but if breaking to the degree impossible to restore like that one has to bear partial responsibility.

Mun Chung-bae tightly gave strength to the hand holding the net.

"Everyone standing stupidly what doing! First throw!"

The Arachne agents who heard that shout threw the ropes and nets held in the hands. Of course the remaining ropes and nets not many. Just one net and two ropes.

Mun Chung-bae also threw the net with strength.

Like that total two ropes and two nets full of mysterious ether flew toward Black and White.

Each one rope and one net.

White sent three swords to the flying rope and net.

Chachachachachak!

Three swords shredded the net and rope. But, hardly cut.

In the eyes of White inside the goggles blood-colored light arose.

The ominous light that started from the eyes rode the facial bones and went down to the neck. And split to both shoulders and rode the arms and flowed to the swords.

Covered by clothes, but every time the ominous light passed one could see the appearance of the ominous light flowing through from outside as is.

On the two swords White held the ominous light condensed.

White immediately leaped the body.

The black swords flowing with ominous light brushed aside the three swords in the air and fiercely cut the charging net and rope and passed.

Jeojeong!

The net and rope that even shredding with three swords in the air didn't budge simply shattered to the degree vain.

The mysterious ether flowing on the net and rope also disappeared without a trace.

That was the same for the rope and net flying toward Black.

Black handled the net and rope more grandly.

Same as White used the ominous light, and after coating the greatsword with ominous light, blew away the net and rope with the sword face.

The net and rope hit by Black just burst in the air.

Mun Chung-bae's face who watched all that scenery as is paled.

He was holding a weapon with a hook attached to the end of a long rod.

A weapon for suppressing the moment the opponent gets entangled even a little in the net and rope.

But seemed wouldn't work like this.

Mun Chung-bae confirmed the colleagues. Everyone holding the same weapons as Mun Chung-bae and standing awkwardly.

Even raising momentum as much as possible barely, if like this certain to get hit without even properly using strength.

Sure enough, Black and White began to move in earnest. The next instruction fell from Seo I-hyeon.

Black and White moved fast and violently to the degree until now felt like play.

If blinking eyes once was behind someone, if blinking eyes again was behind another person.

Every time Black and White moved as if flickering like that Mun Chung-bae's colleagues hugged their own legs and rolled on the floor. Screams were extra.

"Aaaak!"

Not that the legs were cut just deeply stabbed with the sword.

Probably to move again one has to use treatment ampoule or need the power of a healing ability user.

Mun Chung-bae before he knew it all colleagues collapsed and looking at Black and White positioned in front and behind himself flowed cold sweat.

Of course the result was decided.

"Aaaak!"

Mun Chung-bae hugged the legs and rolled on the floor. Really dirty painful.

Others were stabbed once each on the back thighs and ended, Mun Chung-bae stabbed front and back so more painful and injured a lot.

Black and White like that picked up the collapsed guys and gathered them in the center of the park.

And Seo I-hyeon who was quietly watching that scenery turned his head and looked toward the owners of the gazes not yet entered the barrier.

Now those guys' turn.
