King of Shadows

"What are you doing? I knew you weren't this benevolent."

"Don't look at me like that. It was an act because I didn't want the words I had brought up to this place to be in vain for no other reason. And you know it's better to keep things going than to raise them from scratch."

Realizing that it was a favor from efficiency, he glanced at Nordens with his cold eyes. I didn't like receiving the power of being trifled with myself, but he endured it. Now he knew he had to stay down.

"You'll feel it soon enough. If I don't explain it long enough, you'll have no choice but to come to me at that time. You seem to be busy, so let's go over the details then."

Finally, he walks toward the Crystal Cave where he lives. Sihyun slowly chewed up the words left by Nordens and went into the underwater cave. Whether Sihyun and Nordens came to their senses during the conversation or not, Essence had seizures intermittently as soon as he heard the footsteps of Sihyun.

"Monster, monster...!"

Once the body collapses, the spirit of the essence is shattered. Being unable to lie due to the constraints of manipulation, he couldn't stand the boiling emotions and gave a blatant slang to Xi.

The essence that could not control itself was neither more than an ugly livestock nor less. It was a miserable thing to say in the name of a great power, a descendant of the Chamberlain. Sihyun dropped one person to the ground, but he felt no guilt.

He looked down at the essence and gave him his last order.

[Death will not allow it.]

[Forget the fact that I am the King of Shadows.]

[Forget everything you've seen and heard here.]

[And pay for what you have done.]

Xi Hyun, wrapped in a shadow armor, comes out of Dreamland carrying essence. He stepped on an awkward building with only a skeleton and noticed that he had only seconds to enter Dreamland. It was not so different from the last time I saw it.

Kwagang. Kwagung. Sihyun lifted his shadow and tied up the mysterious culprit who still tried to destroy it. At the same time, you pull the shadow up and lift the mysterious culprit.

Xi Hyun brings an unidentified gangster before his eyes and punches at him. The unknown culprit was skilled enough to bring down the building, but it became chopped meat in Xi Hyun's strike.

An unidentified gangster shrouded in shadows spewed blood, but his gaze only grew colder.

"Weak. I don't know what you believe in, but..."

[You'd better be punished with your master.]

The Kugua River. Sihyun recognized the bullet that was fired at him before it sounded. As he watched the bullets flow through his body calmly, he dropped the essence and the mysterious monster under the building.

"The owner must have fed you some pretty tasty food."

Sihyun lifts his finger and raises the snipers around him. It was separated by kilometers, but no one was unaware of the simulation. Sihyun, who waved his hand and pulled the snipers into the construction, also tied them with a shadow and dropped them under the building.

Many people broke their heads and their legs due to the impact that fell from the high floor, but he didn't snore. It was a waste of their emotions.

After solving the incident around him in seconds, he stepped into the approaching siren sound. It was time for guests to come. Shortly after, he could see those coming towards the construction.

In addition to police, firefighters, and military forces, those who came to suppress the incident quickly received a greeting. There were people from various news media whether the integer had been tuned in advance.

When the light burst so intense that the eyes could extinguish from all sides, Xihyun pushed the back of the essence. Sudden stimulus brings the essence to its knees, reflexively. The essence that broke his lips looked around. I closed my eyes to the essence of knowing how my preparatory condolences worked in order to blame all my sins on him. Even if I wanted to die, I couldn't die because of the restrictions of manipulation.

"Jung-soo, don't you have something to say?"

To his voice, the body of the essence mechanically reacted. His head was screaming for denial, but his body had already left his mind long ago. The essence that lowered its head so strongly that it bled on its forehead opened its mouth with a clever mind.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

/256

Jay settled with S and Kay in a secluded mountain range in the Netherlands. He had never known, but was not surprised, that there were more one-owned cabins in the deep mountains of the Netherlands. Other than a few examples, the circle was operated as a tighter organization, so it was not uncommon to have a base around the world.

Jay was resting in his room when he heard the superior's decision to wait until the next order was issued.

Poetry C's death didn't even matter. Even A's death didn't matter. I'm really glad to hear that. At least he's not gonna die now. '

Jay sighs of relief. Having said that I would not blame you for what happened on Haller's continent was a quiet way to move on. It was unusual to think that punishment and discipline would make such a decision in a more rigorous circle. Jay only accepted the decision as it is because he instinctively knew who had a profound influence on it.

[Jay.]

When his voice rang in his head, Jay stood up and touched the bracelet of shadow on his wrist.

[Yes, Se-hyun.]

[I called to ask you a question. Does the word "assailant" ring a bell?]

Shi Hyun skipped straight to the point without introducing himself, but Jay did not complain. The necklace was not with him, but with him.

[Charger? No, that's the first I've heard of him.]

[Hmm.]

When he heard Jay's words, he shed a tear. The fact that the essence of his identity is known as the Raider knows the Watcher of the Circle is not good news because Jay doesn't know the Raider.

[I can imagine what you're worried about. But don't worry. Just because it's The One doesn't mean I know everything. Those who come to Earth are basically running as slime tissue. Each of them has different characteristics depending on their mission.]

Jay's role as the watchman was to monitor and coordinate the situation. To be precise, it was like a bottleneck. It was a characteristic that it consisted mainly of young people who wanted the ball.

Of course, those people were not all the circle. The position of a watchman is unsatisfactory, or it can be brought down to Earth according to the plans of the upper class, or by a secret instruction from someone.

[...]

I realized that there were a lot of groups inside the circle.

[So there's no way to find out?]

[Now that I know the word "assailant," I should be able to recognize it myself.]

Jay remembers Kay. Even though the herds that crossed over to Earth returned to the clay, the primordial was similar. After all, The One's hierarchy was the 'families' that ruled Zephyros.

And Kay was one of the three foremost families of the more circular family, the Forbidden Lobbang Family. It was a family at the top, so it was okay to think that there was nothing she didn't know if she was willing.

Even though the watchmen ignored instructions and tried to overthrow Hayler's continent, Kay had to take a step back from The Circle's top.

Maybe Billy can get a clue that you saved his life if you keep it up. Jay, who suddenly came up with that thought, flicked his finger.

"What are you so excited about?"

When Jay saw Kay come in without knocking, he turned around. He had a steel heart and a face covered with iron plates, but he could not laugh at the unexpected visitors.

"You scared me, Kay. What's happening all of a sudden?"

"I came here because I thought I heard something in the room. What are you talking about?"

"I don't think you're alone in the room. Never mind, I'm talking to myself."

Like before, Jay sighed. Recognizing that Kay had not heard the correct content, he sat down and opened the book. The book he brought from Haler was very interesting to him.

"Well, that's a relief. Maybe there's a wound you don't know about."

"... too much. If you're hallucinating and mumbling, you're out of breath."

Kay naturally sat next to him, but Jay didn't say anything. I was just being cautious.

Kay looks at Jay's side face. And I smiled small. When she heard that she had saved herself in a situation where she might die, she saw Jay again. I never thought he would do something so reckless.

The stronger Kay's eyes became, the more Jay sighed. It wasn't because he couldn't predict Kay's feelings. However, from Jay's point of view, Kay's attention was only burdensome. Her periodic visit was like an "inspection" to Jay who wanted to quietly gather information and hand it over to Sihyun to save his life.

"It's no big deal. I just have one question."

After breaking the long silence, Jay opened his mouth first, Kay looked at him as if he couldn't believe it.

"What? If you don't know, I'll give you my best answer."

"Do you know anything about the position of an assailant?"

"Raider? Where did you hear that?"

"When I applied to the Sentinel before, you offered me an offer. He said no because he was suspicious, but after a while I thought about it and I wondered. I just wanted to know if you knew, so you can move on if you don't."

As if there was no foolishness, Jay turned his head, shaking his hands and blocking his movements.

"Please wait. If you're a charger, you've heard of it. But don't look at it that way, because you don't know exactly. All I know is that the assailant's objective is to get there."

"What's the point?"

"They were told they were being sent to Earth for a 'special purpose.'"

"Special purpose?"

"Yes, I heard it from my father, but I heard that the special purpose is to have a close relationship with the chief."

Leader of The One. Jay instinctively understood what the word meant, and kept his mouth shut. It's not something you can dig deep into.

A group of people at the top of The Circle who gave orders directly for a special purpose. Jay nods, hearing from Kay that it was a raider.
