According to the story we heard in advance, there was no transmission to the outside, and only those inside the venue heard the announcement.
But what about Archibald among them? If he really did, there's no way he wouldn't have been informed in advance.
‘It's hiding somewhere… … Where?’
They may be hiding behind the scenes pretending to be an official, but considering the importance of today's announcement, security could not have been so lax.
‘In this… … .'
When Kang Yoo-sik frowned and looked inside her. Suddenly, a person came into my eyes.
A being who sat quietly in the back seat with his whole body hidden in a robe. The moment when Hermit and Kang Yoo-sik's eyes met.
Wow!
Hermit hurriedly ran out of the auditorium.
‘Persval!’
-Yes. road!
Boom!
At the same time as Kang Yoo-sik's cry, a brace hurriedly pursued Hermit and flew away.
‘You can’t use space transfer magic from inside, so if you think about the entrance to get out… … .'
When Kang Yoo-sik is running fast, thinking about the way out for the opponent. Cha Si-hyun followed him in the blink of an eye.
“What are you doing?”
“Go out the hallway on the right and catch anyone who looks suspicious towards the exit of the East Building!”
"All right."
Without listening to the situation, Cha Si-hyeon ran straight ahead, and Kang Yoo-sik ran to the other side and asked Persval.
‘What about him?’
-I missed it now, but I found the Lady and turned it in the direction the Lord was going. It looks like you've used Body Enhancement, so you need to hurry!
‘Okay.'
Before the return, you might have missed it while panting, but this time it's different.
Kang Yoo-sik took a deep breath, clenched his right fist, and slammed the floor with all his might.
Aww!
Magical power that was temporarily amplified through Airgetlam in the body that was gradually grown through collection.
Kang Yoo-sik, who showed these two skills, arrived in the hallway leading to the entrance of the west building in the blink of an eye.
“Ugh… … ?!”
She ran into Hermit, who had just stepped inside.
“Rain, damn it!!”
Hermit and Archibald, who screamed, did not slow their running speed, but stretched out their hands and fired magic.
A sharp spear of ice that flew in as if it would pierce this way. It was an attack that would be fatal enough if hit, but Kang Yoo-sik did not defend himself with a slightly surprised expression on his face.
“Ugh?!”
Archibald, bewildered, turned the trajectory of the ice spear towards the vital point, and Kang Yoo-sik, who naturally avoided it, stepped on the floor as it was.
Boom!
Kang Yoo-sik's body, who stepped on the Changroe Daily, scattered lightning and reached in front of Archibald.
Whoops!
“Wow!”
The fist he swung with all his might, slammed into his stomach.
Koo!
Archibald, who had been hit by his fist, fell to the floor as it was, and Kang Yoo-sik, who was firmly bound with a shadow snake, took off his hood, which he was wearing until the end of his face.
Archibald fainted with his eyes closed. His hair and beard were messy as he hadn't shaved or had a haircut in the meantime.
‘What the hell is Hermit thinking?’
There was no way he could have entered the conference room in Hermit's name simply by wearing a robe and pretending to be his identity.
That is, Hermit himself, for whatever reason, used his hand to allow Archibald to enter the presentation hall.
‘It's too sloppy to say that he was trying to fix something… … .'
With a strange expression on her face, Kang Yoo-sik looked around her arms to see if she could be a clue, and she quickly pulled out something she was holding in her hand.
A gray cross with six pairs of black wings sprouting upside down. Kang Yoo-sik, who found the object he had been tired of looking at before returning, had a slightly surprised expression on his face.
‘I didn’t know this would come out.’
Kang Yoo-sik looked down at the token in his hand, the object used by Ta-cheon's revelation, and then put it in his arms.
Leaving them holding such atrocious objects could be annoyingly tangled.
‘I knew you were going to grind this out to get revenge on me, but… … I didn’t know it was going to be like this.’
I still don't know what happened, but what's left is to ask the person involved. After searching for Archibald's arms, Kang Yoo-sik took the next step.
* * *
“Ugh… … .”
Archibald groaned at the pain in his stomach, opened his eyes, and looked around naturally.
A room that is not very luxurious. Archibald's eyes widened in a place that had nothing to do with him, and then he slammed into the floor, recalling his memories of before fainting.
Koo!
“Ugh… … .”
However, because his body was tied tightly, he fell to the floor as it was, and Archibald, who took his chin properly, twisted his eyes and looked down at his body.
A black device that was attached to all parts of his body and scattered magic power and a wire that tied his hands and feet tightly. When Archibald was embarrassed by his state of being completely deprived of his freedom.
“I woke up.”
The door opened and Kang Yoo-sik appeared.
“Ugh… … ?!”
Archibald was bewildered by Kang Yoo-sik's appearance and tried to move again to escape.
However, because he was tied up, he was very excited when he fell, and when he saw Archibald leaping like a shrimp, Kang Yoo-sik made a strange expression.
"Well… … If it's too much, don't struggle. It’s disgusting because it sounds like you’re joking around.”
“Hey, this kid… … .”
Archibald grazes his teeth as usual. However, compared to before, he had a lot of poison, and when he saw that, Kang Yoo-sik made a slightly curious expression.
‘Is this what it feels like when the guy who grinds his teeth until the end becomes in A-class debt?’
Usually, for follow-up management, he puts his debts down, but in the case of Archibald, he is strangely shy while grinding his teeth, probably because he is the type that he created on his own.
After looking at Archibald for a moment, Kang Yoo-sik brought his chair to the front and sat down to ask.
“Well, it’s not like we’re talking honestly while saying hello to each other. Let's just talk and finish. What did you hear from Hermit?”
Archibald's eyes twitched at Kang Yoo-sik's question, and he bit his lip as it was and turned his head away.
Show that you don't want to talk. In response, Kang Yoo-sik looked at her while stroking her chin.
‘Originally, if it was an A grade, I should have been drinking right away… … You were resisting.’
It could be solved right away by using collection, but it is a bit disappointing to write here.
In order to open Archibald's mouth, Kang Yoo-sik put the thing he had in her arms down in front of her.
“Or are you going to hand it over with this one?”
“… … What's wrong with that thing?"
Kang Yoo-sik replied with a grin in response to Archibald's confident appearance as he thought he might not know this.
“It’s a magical awakening device used in the Revelation of Fallen Heaven.”
“What, what… … .”
“Blow it before putting it into the association with this one. Don’t bother me for nothing.”
It was a threat that would not have much effect unless there was a guarantee that Kang Yoo-sik would keep his promise, but Archibald bit his lip in agony.
Class A debt, even if it was accumulated in a negative state. If a situation in which he has no choice but to cooperate is created, he is at the level of accepting without daring to resist.
"I know. I'll tell you everything, so please… … .”
“Tell me what happened to Hermit.”
Archibald began to talk with his face down when he saw Kang Yoo-sik talking while holding his awakening device.
“I came to New York and was resting at the dormitory I had set up nearby… … Suddenly, the black front door changed to a blue front door with a completely different design.”
In a sudden situation, Archibald tried to escape through the window, avoiding the front door, and at that moment he was moved into a completely different room, not outside.
“I didn’t know at the time… … Now that I think about it, the windows had also changed. Perhaps he was thinking of avoiding the front door.”
“It’s such a small thing, just tell me the gist of it.”
“… … There, I met a middle-aged man who introduced himself as Hermit. He was wearing a suit and he had a name tag on it, so he looked like a hotel employee.”
As Julius explained, it looks different from place to place. After thinking about the story for a moment, Kang Yoo-sik asked.
“What was on the nameplate?”
"Well?"
“He said he had a badge. There must have been a name written on it.”
"that… … .”
Archibald, who had been pondering for a moment at Kang Yoo-sik’s question, shook his head.
“I don’t know. I thought it was written on something… … I do not remember."
The clues that could reveal the identity of the person unnaturally disappeared from his memory. Kang Yoo-sik remembered that part and then passed on her story.
“As if he already knew me, he naturally called me by my name. And he suggested that I not attend the presentation.”
"The reason is?"
“… … I give you a chance.”
In response to Archibald's answer, Kang Yoo-sik made an interesting expression.
“What kind of opportunity did you say?”
"That… … .”
Archibald, who bit his lip for a moment, looked at Kang Yoo-sik's eyes and sighed in response.
“It was an opportunity to repent of my sins.”
“It’s a sin… … .”
At Archibald's story, Kang Yoo-sik stroked her chin and looked down. There is only one sin that Archibald has committed now.
‘It must be a revelation from the Fallen and it’s something they’re concocting.’
Considering the motivation to move, he must have been targeting himself with a high probability, and Hermit must have intervened in advance knowing that.
After understanding the situation to some extent, Kang Yoo-sik looked at Archibald lying on the floor.
‘It's not hard to figure out what you're up to… … .'
The question is, are you going to just find out the information and process it as it is, or will you give it a wide magnanimity?
So far, of course, I've leaned towards the former, but taking a closer look at the situation, the latter doesn't seem too bad either.
‘Even if he lacks a child, he is the orthodox heir to the Hague… … Because her abilities are so strong that she becomes a disaster-class magician.’
Besides, when she checked her collection list a while ago, she heard the announcement related to this magical nuke, and she had a tremendous realization, so her S-class and A-class skills had been acquired one by one.
It's in such a good condition, but rather than sucking out the sweet water right away and throwing it away, wouldn't it be better to choose the ones full of eggs each time they open and eat them?
‘Besides, this guy is essential to properly devour Ta-cheon’s revelations this time.’
In fact, it is almost decided here.
Kang Yoo-sik, who had come to a conclusion, asked Archibald, who was keeping an eye on this side.
“What do you think?”
“… … What do you mean?”
“The opportunity Hermit said. I don't know what the crime is, but if I had a chance to repent, would you do it?"
Perhaps it was an unexpected question, Archibald looked up with his eyes wide open, and his eyes fluttered slightly before turning his head again.
“The sins that I must repent of in this world… … Nothing but tarnishing the family's honor!"
A self-deprecating cry. But just looking at the inability to make eye contact in the meantime, I could clearly see what was going on inside.
‘It bothers me so much.’
Even though they knew they were wrong, they stick to the end. It's kind of annoying to deal with, but once you've got debt, it's not too difficult.
Kang Yoo-sik, who had decided to put her on her collar first, thought about how she would stab her, and then raised the corner of her mouth and asked.
“Announced this time. How was it?”
"What… … What do you mean?”
Kang Yoo-sik smiled at Archibald's slightly shaken voice.
“I’m literally asking your opinion. Because you were a wizard there too.”
“That, that… … .”
Originally, there was no need to worry here.
Even if you really admire it, if you don't like it, it's okay to just say it was bad.
But Archibald couldn't get the word out, even if it wasn't on his mind. He wants to deny himself thoroughly, but there is nothing more honest than debt.
“It must have been quite impressive. That's right, the magic core is the starting point of the magic inversion that you focus on.”
“… … starting point?"
Archibald, who had been turning his head all the time, looked up with a blank expression, and Kang Yoo-sik laughed at the sight of it all.
"okay. Did you really think that something like a magic core was the ultimate in magical inversion?”
“Ha, but… … How could such a huge thing… … .”
"One thing."
When Archibald was stuttering as if he couldn't believe it, Kang Yoo-sik spoke calmly.
“If you repent of your sins and want to help me, I will do one thing in my name.”
Archibald's eyes fluttered like an earthquake, then asked with trembling lips.
"What… … ?”
Kang Yoo-sik smiled at the question.
“The magical ultimate. Don't show me that."
At that word, Archibald's eyes widened, and Kang Yoo-sik activated the collection to finish.
[Debtor ‘Archibold Hague' enters compulsory execution. Status abnormal ‘Loyalty increase']
[Debtor ‘Archibold Hague' enters compulsory execution. Status abnormal ‘Loyalty increase']
[Debtor ‘Archibold Hague' enters compulsory execution. Status abnormal ‘Loyalty increase']
… ….
Increasing loyalty is usually not used very well.
No matter how much you put it up at once, if it doesn't match your ideal, it will fall off quickly, and the debt you've been working on may blow away in vain.
"Ah… … .”
But Archibald is different.
He is fascinated by Ban Hye-young's ‘magic', and he endlessly longs for her, and in the end, he is so stupid that he even risked his own life.
What would happen if he elevates his loyalty until his Class A debt is exhausted and then shows off his overwhelming magic?
“It’s a little weak to call it the ultimate, but I’ll show you the next part of the starting point, especially for you.”
Kang Yoo-sik lightly stretched her hand forward, and a blue sphere made of magical power floated above it.
A magic ‘Orb’ that realizes a magic core and exerts more powerful dominance. Before returning, I couldn't use it because of lung disease, but it's not difficult now after practicing by reducing sleep at night for a few days.
Woo-
Kang Yoo-sik, who created the orb, resonated with the orthosis connected to Archibald's body.
And as it was, he activated the magic inversion with all his might.
"Ah… … iced coffee… … .”
Tears flowed from Archibald's eyes, who had been controlled by Kang Yoo-sik with all the magical powers of his body.
A magic that goes beyond magic and dominates the magic of others as one's own, beyond what one thought was the ultimate.
A sense of fullness he had never felt before, Archibald shook his head without hiding his true intentions any longer.
"I'll do it… … anything… … I'll do anything, please!"
There are no more debts left, but even more solid loyalty is revealed.
At the sight of Archibald bowing his head while lying on the floor, Kang Yoo-sik crossed his legs and smiled.
“Do you really want to help me?”
"Yes! If you just give me a chance… … I will give my all!”
“Yes, the honor of that handsome family?”
The last remaining focal point for Archibald, who was abandoned by Ban Hye-young.
“I will give it to you! If you want, I'll give it my all, so please give me a chance!!"
But now, it was nothing more than rubbish lying on the floor, and Kang Yoo-sik gave a satisfied expression to the answer.
"Great. Give me a chance.”
"Thank you… … thank you!!"
Archibald shouted almost as if crying. When Kang Yoo-sik is looking at me with a blank look, wondering if I've gone too far.
[The condition of the debt relationship is satisfied.]
[Check the registration of the debtor ‘Archibold Hague’, and determine the debt grade as C.]
“… … .”
I just accepted the conditions stipulated earlier, but the debt that was created at once up to the C level again.
Kang Yoo-sik, realizing once again that Archibald's head turned firmly, looked down at him with a curious expression.
‘Because a man is in this state, something is more reluctant.’
Kang Yoo-sik, who had a slightly creepy expression on his face, got up from his seat and flicked his fingers lightly.
Damn it!
All the braces and wires holding his body were released, and in the dread of being free, Archibald went straight to his knees and clasped his head.
“I will be loyal!”
"Huh… … Huh. okay."
Kang Yoo-sik made a slightly shaky expression at that fast-paced look and then turned her head to the gaze she felt from behind.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Thinking it was a signal that the wire was loose, Ban Hye-young and Cha Si-hyeon stood still as they opened the door and entered.
Kang Yoo-sik was trying to explain how to explain this to the two people looking at them with strange expressions, but he just kept it simple.
“Let’s first fulfill the revelation of Ta-cheon.”
