Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer - Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 167

167 – East (7)

“It seems that Moon Night was helping the Dragon Emperor. “I ended up getting involved like this because I didn’t know about it in advance.”

This was Jibril’s explanation. Perhaps because of overuse of astrology, the blurred pupils are particularly noticeable.

Still, she looked up at me cautiously, as if she had not yet experienced a complete loss.

Those green eyes that briefly sparkle quickly turn to someone other than me.

Eonhwaryeong is breathing heavily in the background.

Jibril frowned slightly and stroked her bangs with a sigh.

“…… Okay. “Did things happen that way?”

And that’s what he said. I haven’t said anything yet, but she seems to have already figured out the general situation.

Astrology seemed convenient in this respect.

Being able to read other people’s minds to some extent even in tense situations definitely has many uses.

‘It feels like my thoughts are all being read, so it’s really annoying.’

Well, that was something I could just ignore.

It may not be important right now.

Instead, I looked back at the fallen man once again.

I checked his breathing and it doesn’t seem like he fainted at all.

I was tempted to just kick her, but I thought we should start a conversation first, so I walked up to the man and knelt down on one knee of her.

“Hey.”

“… ….”

“Why don’t you answer me?”

I tried touching his head with the back of my hand, but there was no answer.

It was clearly visible that she was deliberately keeping her mouth shut.

I think for a moment about how to open that tightly closed mouth.

In order to build intimacy, should we at least make a short statement?

What name will Shen and Jake’s other brother have?

It’s not that I’m not curious, but if you ask me if it’s an important issue, it’s not even that.

‘Hmm… ….’

Actually, I didn’t even have time to do this.

It’s inevitable that there won’t be too much room.

If, by any chance, the Dragon Emperor notices the absence of Eunhwaryeong, or if he recognizes our presence in this cave…….

‘It’s not good. ‘I guess.’

Of course, the current Yongje was unable to produce his full power.

There may not be much left, but…

At least, they don’t have the power to suppress us by force right now.

As such, we also needed to speed up in our own way.

I found the place where Shiryong is being manufactured. They also succeeded in securing Eonhwaryeong.

Then what remains now is the destruction or takeover of the Shirong Army.

‘It wouldn’t be easy to bring back hundreds of corpses. If you have to, you have to be prepared to destroy everything and then escape.’

Stretching my bent knees, I first looked back at Eve.

There is no time to leisurely persuade a writer who is clenching his teeth and refusing to speak.

In that case, we have no choice but to use at least a slightly coercive method.

It was because I looked at Eve.

Time was running out to explore this cave, which is not very large.

You may be able to do it, but since this has already happened, it would be much faster to hear the location directly from the man’s mouth.

“Senior.”

“… ….”

Eve also seemed to notice my gaze and was looking at me intently.

So I’m trying to speak up.

“…… No, I do not want.”

Eve was quicker than that to put her words of rejection into her mouth.

I stopped for a moment and had to quickly look into her eyes.

“Senior?”

“I said no.”

“Well, I haven’t said anything yet.”

“Isn’t that what you’re saying is to make them part of your family…? … ?”

Hmm.

Of course, I guess the intention was fully read.

When I finished biting her mouth as if I had hit the nail on the head, Eve turned her head with an expression of disappointment.

Why did this sister suddenly sulk?

“…… “He’s a man.”

I was soon able to hear the reason directly from her mouth.

“Junior, I don’t think you would feel too bad if I bit another man’s neck?”

“Ah.”

A word that made me pause for a moment. That’s why I couldn’t help but understand it, even though I didn’t expect it.

In the awkward silence, I very carefully raised my gaze.

The moment her eyes met, Eve’s cheeks puffed out slightly. The gaze glaring at me becomes even sharper.

…… She made a big mistake.

At first, I wondered if he lacked the blood and energy to become a subordinate, but it was a very one-dimensional idea.

When I thought about it, I didn’t think I would really want to see Eve sinking her teeth into that man’s neck.

It was really frustrating in its own way to finally think of such a thought, but what can I do?

“Please pretend I didn’t hear you.”

“…… Joy.”

I am very quick, no. In fact, when I cast the stance change, which seemed a little late, Eve turned her head once again.

Yet he glances at me with narrowed eyes.

Agree or deny?

Hoping that it would be the former, I used the emergency as an excuse to look away.

Anyway, it was a little disappointing that I couldn’t get the information out through subjugation, but I couldn’t hold on to it either.

If it doesn’t seem to work, there is a way to find the answer by going around yourself.

‘What does this guy do?’

There is just one problem. In that case, what should we do with this blue-eyed man who is still down?

Like Shen and Jake, there wasn’t enough time to make a statement and use restrictions as a leash.

It was a thought that inevitably came to mind.

Should I handle it?

Should I kill him?

I shook my hands slightly, but made a thunderclap to avoid being noticed. My fingertips were stained with lightning.

“… ….”

Just then, my eyes met that man.

What were the emotions there?

Is it fear?

Is it resignation?

‘…… What?’

It wasn’t like that.

Neither.

Well, the emotions that appear in those eyes are not deep down like fear or resignation.

Rather than that -.

“Tsk.”

Soaring high, literally heightened emotions.

In other words, no matter how you look at it, it was pleasant.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” ….”

“… ….”

“hahahahaha…… !”

The soft laughter that had only been heard in my ears until then soon grew louder to an unpleasant level.

Aria was examining the blade of the sword, Tsumei was looking down at her frozen Hwaryeong, and Jibril seemed out of breath even at this moment.

Everyone else focuses their attention on the man.

With so much attention, the man spoke.

“It’s so refreshing.”

Pow!!

And then, unknowingly, it hits a thin leg and bounces away.

To the other side of the cave, far away.

“… ….”

The person who threw such an unexpected kick was none other than Flügel.

It is impressive to see him lightly shaking his lifted leg and returning it to its original state, as if he is now really used to using his body.

What caught my eye even more was the chilling ghost fire that rose above her eyes that I would not normally have seen, but-.

“…… Ah, Dante.”

The moment he notices my gaze and looks back at me, that look completely disappears.

Instead, there was only a girl smiling awkwardly and glancing in the direction the man flew.

“I was so anxious about something that I blew it, will it be okay? No matter how I look at it, it seems like they are trying to manipulate me.”

At her words, I also turned my head and looked at one wall of the cave where her man was trapped, which is to say, where he had collapsed and collapsed in a miserable manner.

And carefully narrows the corners of her eyes.

…… In general, as long as you are hit by the leg power of a flugel (golem) and are blown away, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if your body starts to crumble.

Unless Flügel intentionally adjusted his strength.

But why?

Somehow the ominous feeling cannot be erased.

Isn’t he dead? Is he alive?

Are there still numbers left?

– hahahahaha… ….

The answer to that endless question was realized by the sound of laughter coming from beyond.

A burst of laughter that is not a single bit different from what happened just a moment ago, and although it is pleasant, it is bound to be unpleasant to the listener.

Kwagwagwang!

Soon, there was a loud noise from the crash site where the man had fallen, and pieces of rock from the collapsed wall were scattering.

Ashy smoke rises.

This is a sight that inevitably puts everyone on this side in a state of tension. And foreshadowing.

“Once again, it’s a grand welcome… ….”

It is natural that she will soon let up her act and be revealed, but she was the blue-eyed man who flew away.

But she was different.

Everyone in this room could recognize it.

I noticed it quite naturally.

That is not the man from a moment ago.

Obviously, it has to be not the case.

The man was not weak. It was objectively powerful, and although it happened to be hit by one hit, it had a great advantage in surprise.

Even if her strength is small, her strength is above that of a sword master.

“Where, almost a hundred years ago? “First of all, meeting face to face like this.”

The existence before my eyes far surpassed even that level.

Such spirit was clearly felt.

The appearance did not change.

The voice was also the same.

However, things have definitely changed.

“Why not say something? Tsumei.”

At least the dragon man from a little while ago would not have said something like this.

…… Because it wouldn’t have been possible to take it out.

“I am feeling quite happy right now. This reunion after such a long time doesn’t feel too bad. “Anyway, this is the last meeting with the compatriot I’ve only heard about in the news.”

“…… You.”

Tsumei’s complexion was no longer as calm as before.

Probably because she also vaguely noticed it.

Not only is there a ‘different being’ inside the man in front of her, but there is also a 90% chance that that being’s true identity is also there.

I swallowed dry saliva and continued to guide the lightning towards my heart.

Because I was nervous? So, to calm down?

No, it wasn’t.

Of course, I am now in a state of tension that will not easily calm down, but there is no other reason why my heart is racing now.

First of all, the cause was not mine.

[…] ….]

Another soul nestled within me.

A being that is a personality, a thought, and a residual thought.

Bahamut’s momentum cannot be controlled by my own strength, and he has lost control and is about to run away.

I couldn’t stop it.

…… Even if he could have suppressed it with force, he probably wouldn’t have done it.

It was something that could have been easily expected.

Dragon Emperor Carsilion.

The culprit is right in front of you.

How can I stop him?

I didn’t have the confidence to do that.

Not sympathizing with that anger and outburst is probably the best thing I can do.

[Eonhwaryeong.]

It was at that moment that the solvent called out the foreign matter in this place.

A being who is not on the Dragon Emperor’s side, nor is he on our side.

A person that the Dragon Emperor inevitably brought to his side in order to control the Shiryong Legion.

“… ….”

A red-haired woman resembling Zhanhwa (殘火), King Eon Hwaryeong looked up at her collaborator with a rather gloomy expression.

Her dragon emperor asked her.

[I don’t know why you are there.]

Eonhwaryeong did not respond.

[I am asking why. Can I get an answer first?]

The dragon emperor did not care.

It’s just a gesture.

There was no one here who could not recognize the meaning contained in that hand gesture.

Obviously means ‘come back’.

Eonhwaryeong was silent. It was unexpected.

She didn’t pay attention.

Notice us.

The dragon emperor noticed.

He was just looking straight at the Dragon Emperor with one eye half-closed, as if he was thinking normally and seriously.

It was about ten seconds later that she stopped speaking.

“One thing.”

The sentences spoken in a short voice did not contain any deep emotions other than what I thought.

“Do you mind if I ask you, Yongje?”

It means that the same worry and fear that the price of betrayal may be asked was not shown.

Is it because the subjugation was not just voluntary, but due to subjugation?

So you thought there was no reason to be afraid?

From noble mtl dot com

‘…… No.’

I wasn’t sure, but at least from what I see now, it felt like Eon Hwaryeong’s thoughts were not like that.

She was more than calm.

Calm and tranquil.

Do not be shaken.

“Did you know from the beginning that I was here?”

She just asked as it was.

A question that may not have much meaning.

But his expression was overly serious.

As if I needed to hear an answer to this.

She looked at the Yongje, and the Yongje did not avoid her gaze.

A short silence.

Soon, a faint smile appeared on the Dragon Emperor’s lips.

[Yes.]

And the following answer.

[Are you curious about where your body is right now? There is nothing I cannot answer.]

As the Yongje continued to speak, Eonhwaryeong’s mood began to change negatively.

The eyebrows narrow, and the two fire-filled eyes stare fiercely straight ahead.

Click here.

Decisively, the moment when she gritted her teeth.

[Your hobby ends today, Eon Hwaryeong.]

The Dragon Emperor declared.

[It wasn’t difficult to knock down the building, but finding your patients might be a bit tricky. Don’t worry though.]

The tone was the same as before.

A voice that seems to read without any pitch.

[I will cut off all your regrets. I guess it was because there was hesitation, so you don’t have to do that anymore.]

…… To hear it, it was extremely unpleasant.

This is how the voice changed.

The corner of the Dragon Emperor’s mouth was torn in an unpleasant direction.

[Let’s focus on completing the corps. Myeongwang (冥王).]

*****

“… ….”

A woman who revered Kang Si-su had no particular reason for holding the hand of a mythical being.

Just because it is said that its existence provides the dragon’s corpse.

And using those corpses, she literally said that she could manufacture jiangshi (僵尸) to her heart’s content.

That’s all.

It’s not a big deal, it’s a reason, a starting point, an opportunity.

But it was important.

For a woman who lost her family, Gangsishul was ‘something she could cling to.’

In the end, there would have been no more meaning.

Did you worship it?

Did you worship him?

How could he be sure that it was all his own feelings and not lies?

It was probably like that to some extent.

It seems that the feelings toward Kang Si-sul were not entirely fabricated.

Obviously. Yeah, obviously…….

“hahahaha.”

──If that was all there was to it, there would have been no reason to do anything else at the same time.

Was it just a volunteer activity?

Was it self-consolation from repeating her good deeds?

Perhaps at some point, as always, I was influenced by a child I encountered when I was walking towards Shi-ryong’s research.

It was an ordinary child dying.

I was sick and my parents were not there.

Was the reason she stretched out her hand a whim?

Actually, I don’t know.

He may have only moved because he thought it was worth saving.

Because I was confident in my medical skills.

Actually, too much time has passed for me to try to understand my inner thoughts at that time.

But there is no doubt that it was an opportunity.

From that day on, she started pretending to be a doctor.

‘You probably dismissed my actions as just a hobby.’

I’m not saying that was wrong.

In reality, that was the mindset.

It is a hobby. A momentary entertainment or amusement that can be discarded at any time, and that there will come a time when it will be discarded.

So Yongje probably didn’t think much about it either.

He was caught in the eyes of his enemies simply because he was engaging in conspicuous outside activities, so if he gets rid of the congressman, something like that will never happen again.

I thought so.

He acted like that.

He didn’t know that he shouldn’t do that.

“That’s right, I didn’t know that myself.”

“…… What?”

“It was such an awkward double life.”

At that moment, Eonhwaryeong turned around.

I showed my back to the dragon emperor.

What I was looking at was a different object.

Object of transaction, object of compromise.

“Can you just capture the Dragon Emperor without killing him?”

I looked at the slain dragon, and then at the boy next to it.

These people are probably the decision makers in this position.

That’s why it was worth making a suggestion.

“Temporary possession through a transplanted body ultimately means that his soul is here. And, his body cannot move now.”

I felt the Dragon Emperor giving me a bitter look behind my back, but I didn’t pay any attention to it.

From now on, he wasn’t the one to put his abilities on.

“If you hold the dragon emperor’s consciousness here and buy us time.”

You can say it’s cunning.

Because it’s true.

“I promise that I will adjust the Lord’s Legion so that you can control it according to your wishes.”

It doesn’t matter even if it is cunningly transferred.

That was also true.

People who move like bats, what do you think?

Eonhwaryeong has no regrets.

As soon as the cooperative relationship broke down, there was no regret in turning back.

Excited, excited.

So, this heartbeat was definitely not caused by anger.

It couldn’t have been a trivial concern for patients who had even forgotten their faces.

Eonhwaryeong looked up.

A lot of dark red energy was already floating in the hands of the slayer dragon.

The silver-haired boy created a jet-black horn above his forehead, and at the same time began releasing lightning bolts from his entire body.

Was he a dragon?

I was a little surprised, but it wasn’t enough to be considered surprising.

To be precise, I didn’t have time to worry about it.

“30 Minutes.”

The frozen Hwaryeong parted her lips.

It was a deal offer.

“Can you hold on?”

-Please hold on.

It was a request wrapped in the form of a transaction, with hidden earnestness.

Although no answer came back -.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!!

The dark red ray of the Slayer Dragon that burst into space immediately afterward flew in a straight line, aiming precisely at the Dragon Emperor.

The deal was concluded at that moment.
