Chapter 28 “Magistrate.” The magistrate, who was stiff with fear, answered. “Yes, Your Highness!” “Has something like this happened before?” “No, Your Highness. But they have already received a tax deferment twice…… Your Highness. Those men really are collectors from the Treasury Department.” “That does not matter. The problem is that they mobilized the army. Using the Imperial Army privately without authorization is a serious crime.” Karion had…-

Chapter 87 The Council (4) The Zero Gate expedition team had been formed. However, some preparations were needed before officially announcing its launch. With that in mind, starting from the second day, the council began operational meetings for their first joint extermination. There were seven people, excluding Kiran and Valerius. “Then, we will begin the meeting for the Crocota extermination.” It was the name of an unclassified monster in Africa. Like most monsters, it…-

Chapter 86 The Council (3) I was not particularly fond of staring contests. However, his instincts told him that if he avoided eye contact or showed some other emotion here, it would come back to hurt him later. So Jungwoo fully accepted the interest Valerius was showing. He did not reveal his emotions. He wanted to block as much information as possible. Meanwhile, Henry smoothly led the meeting. “We will get straight to the point. I am sure everyone wants that. The first agenda is…

Chapter 85 The Council (2) This was his first meeting with an internationally famous figure often called “Dante, the Master of the Barrier.” Just as Jeongwoo was about to greet him— “Ninth, enough with the pointless greetings. Go get your room assigned.” “Uh…” “Go. It is a necessary process.” Henry smiled brightly and patted him on the back. Rather than adding unnecessary questions, Jeongwoo decided it was best to simply follow along and nodded. When he…

Chapter 84 The Council (1) Several more days passed after Segi's magic wand incident. The child still seemed to love her new toy, as she carried the wand around with her all day whenever she was at home. These days, she would come out into the yard saying she wanted to practice combination attacks with her summons, waving the wand around with a swish, swish. Since it was already late March and wildflowers were blooming, the smile on her face looked especially bright. Jeongwoo…

Chapter 83 Magician (4) Se-gi was in a very solemn mood that afternoon. Today was the day she would finally get the magic wand she had been waiting for. How could she not be excited? She had not shown it, but lately, she had been feeling rather troubled. The teddy bear, otter, shark, and now even the rabbit—all the dolls she treated like family were becoming stronger with their jeweled weapons, while she alone seemed to be standing still. So she had subtly (at least, in her opinion)…

Chapter 82 The Magician (3) Human empathy is shallow. People tend to feel more pain from a paper cut on their own finger than from seeing someone else's wound caused by a knife. Therefore, fully understanding another person's wounds is usually impossible. However, there was one way to understand someone as closely as possible. It was to share the same wound. Only then could a person truly see the other person's pain. It became easier to empathize, sympathize, and…

Chapter 81 Magician (2) Henry Miller was a legendary figure. There was hardly anyone among the first generation awakened during the Millennium Shock who was not remarkable, but especially his achievements in Western Europe under the title of the first naturally born S-rank were more than worthy of humanity's praise. He had originally been a worker in Britain. He awakened at the age of forty-two, on December 31, 1999, the day the Millennium Shock occurred. When a massive Gate Shock occurred…

Chapter 80 The Magician (1) I properly read the extermination alert that I had only skimmed before. 【You have exterminated !】 【The aptitude of has increased!】 【The proficiency of has increased!】 【The proficiency of has increased!】 【The proficiency of has increased!】 【The proficiency of has increased!】 【The proficiency of has increased!】 【The proficiency of has increased!】 The alerts had become quite plentiful by now.

Chapter 79 Qilin (2) The live-streaming video filmed by the drones was extremely short. Jeongwoo and the dolls charged in, and with an explosion, Qilin died. That was all that could be learned from the live footage, and it was a shocking result that completely contradicted the battle scenario that the media and analysts had been talking about all day. Even the reporters who had pushed their concentration to the limit were left speechless. After all, wasn't it too futile? It wasn't…
