“Hey, Woong-i. First off, with Woong-i…”
“We need to call Mrs. Kim too…”
“Then, Teacher Cha will probably come along… No, all three of them might end up coming together.”
“Shouldn’t we be worried that Teacher Cha might not come?”
“Ugh, how did we end up in this situation…”
‘Woong-i, Mrs. Kim, and Teacher Cha?’
In no time, three names crawled out of my mouth.
“Are they really villains?”
“Yes, yes!! Teacher Cha is a total fiend who kills whenever he feels like it, and Mrs. Kim and Woong-i aren’t much different either!”
‘You guys, who’ve committed murder to claim hearts, can’t really say much…’
“I see. But can we really call them here right now? I’m not exactly swimming in time here.”
“E-emergency call! If we use the signal we set up, they’ll come right away!”
“They’re just on the other side of the market, so they can be here quickly, just wait a moment.”
“Call them now.”
I loosened the vines wrapped around the two’s waists, but they were still tied up and made contact immediately.
“Uhh…?! What the hell is this…!”
“I’ll do it! Just put the knife down, please!”
Ainz and Dry held knives to the twins’ necks.
Seeing the tiny skeletons suddenly summoned, the twins were so shocked they couldn’t even scream.
“Y-yeah, was it a Necromancer…?”
“Shh, shh!”
They both trembled and tore six pieces of greeting notes at the same time.
‘There’s no need to go out to greet them.’
This was a Hunter-exclusive hotel, so the building was designed to be incredibly sturdy, and with people everywhere, there was nowhere to really move around on this island.
We would have to face off in this room, which was fortified with a barrier.
“How strong are the three we’ve summoned?”
“Teacher Cha is the strongest! He’s aiming for S-rank promotion this year. He said it’s easy… but this is already his fifth attempt.”
“Mrs. Kim’s physical abilities are lower than Teacher Cha’s, but in terms of comprehensive stats, she’s just as good. Those two have been in sync for a long time…”
As they spoke, the twins wore increasingly puzzled expressions.
Were they measuring if I was strong enough to defeat Teacher Cha and Mrs. Kim?
“Am I at or slightly above Victor’s level…?”
If two strong people like that arrived at the same time, it would definitely be tough.
“Huh?”
“No, you two stay put over there. Just try to act calm.”
“Okay!!”
After hearing everything about their abilities, I shoved the twins into the Demon Servant’s breeding area.
I had my minions help reattach the severed legs.
“Thank you! Waaah…”
“I’ll do anything if you save me!”
The legs, now touching each other, started to be quickly reattached with a potion mixed with a High-Rank Potion and Irmana’s water.
They wouldn’t be ready to fight immediately, but with a few days of rest, they could recover to around 70–80%.
“Ahh… Hah… Why, why is this happening…”
“Ugh… I feel…”
As the Demon Servant’s breeding grounds kicked into high gear, the two began to hold each other and moan in a strange way.
‘Did the effects kick in this fast?’
Maybe it was because I installed the breeding ground within the barrier, but the responses were immediate.
“Clap…?”
Ainz tilted his head as if confused about why the twins were suddenly acting like that, but he didn’t let his guard down.
“Hey, they might become my minions. We can’t kill them, right?”
“Clap, Clap, Clap!!”
I turned my attention back to the twins, who were now exploring each other’s tongues and starting a more intimate dialogue.
‘Beast Master, Provocation-type Tanker, Illusionist… good combo. Taking them out individually would be best.’
The three villains, currently making their way over here.
Originally, they were the founding members of the party, while the twins had recently joined and started partying with them.
It seemed that the three of them were over in Jeju, enjoying some fun, and once they settled in, they’d likely be there for several days.
‘Whatever happens, just get here already.’
Once they sat down at the gambling table, they’d be easy prey. But there was a significant uncertainty since there was a possibility that Teacher Cha might not come.
About ten minutes passed, and soon, a man imbued with a unique aura was approaching our room.
– Detected a villain in close proximity!
‘Good. I’ve secured one, at least.’
Luckily, it was a man who came to the room solo.
‘He came alone even after seeing the emergency signal. He’s quite confident.’
A hunter acting like that could be one of two types.
Someone who was confident in their own strength or someone who felt they could escape any situation.
Oh Oung-han
– Killed 97 Non-Awakened Ones.
– A vile villain who casts horrific illusions on Non-Awakened Ones, driving them to take their own lives.
‘…The Hunter didn’t kill? Is this guy an Awakening Advocate?’
Those who believe that Awakened Ones are the next evolution of humanity and that Non-Awakened Ones are a deprecated race that needs to vanish are referred to as “Awakening Advocates,” and that’s exactly what this guy seemed to be.
‘Doesn’t matter if you’re an Awakening Advocate or not… just come in slowly, will ya?’
He was standing at the door, taking a defensive stance for a moment, but after judging it wasn’t anything suspicious, he knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock—
– Hey, damn. What are you doing? Open the door already! I thought something happened, and you’re still in there?
“Hah- Hah- Ugh, Woong, wait a sec…”
Hae-ryeong, who was having a wild time with her sister in the breeding ground, gasped for breath and replied.
– Huh? Why does your voice sound like that? Did you take one of those strange drugs again? Don’t do that outside! Seriously. That’s why I keep telling you to hang out with Teacher Cha.
I walked over to the door and gently opened it.
Click—
The Hunter known as “Oh Oung-han” stepped into the room boldly through the open door.
“What… are you guys doing right now?”
“Ahhh—”
“I feel like I’m going insane… I can’t hold it back. Chuah—”
The man, 190 cm tall and with a great build fitting his nickname of Woong, witnessed the scene of two sisters engaging in a sticky situation on the bed.
“Is this it now? Incest too? Wow, you guys really are going all in. Damn it. You chicks.”
He shook his head at the half-naked Hae-ryeong and Hae-min, but rather than get shocked, he focused on raising his magic.
It was clearly a situation that wasn’t normal.
“Woong— do you wanna join too…? This feels really good~ Hehehe~”
“………”
Watching the half-tipsy Hae-min intertwining with her tongue, the man’s body temperature shot up, and he finally noticed the pink mist that shrouded the twins.
“What the hell is that strange mist…?! No way? A trap?! Damn!!”
He swiftly turned around, but at that moment, my lovely minions surrounded him and immediately attacked.
Whoosh—
“Clap?!”
But my minions’ attack sliced through nothingness.
The man’s figure left only an afterimage, and countless flower petals began to flutter in the air.
It felt like I was on a field gathered with every beautiful flower from the universe.
‘You dare use illusions in front of me!’
His illusion ability was impressive, but it was supposed to be used with caution.
‘It’s clear. I see your movement—’
I didn’t miss the mass of magic slipping out of the room like a black snake.
[Chain of Flame]
“?!!”
Crash!
The man was caught and bound by the chains at the doorway.
But at that moment, a golden light flashed from his forehead, and the bindings were instantly undone.
‘Wukong’s Headband?!’
That was the item once worn by “Haseirin.”
A legendary masterpiece that can free any binding twice, a true marvel of the “Sorcerer of Release.”
“I will never let this humiliation go unpunished— Huh?!”
Just as he was about to burst out of the door.
Bam bam bam bam!!
The floor stones ripped from the Dark Space enveloped Oh Oung-han.
“Damnit!!”
He pulled out a hammer to bash the stones, but they weren’t weak enough to break that easily.
I gathered the stone floor that swallowed him to the center of the room and began to spin it rapidly in midair.
“Arggh! You psycho! Cut it out!! I’ll really kill you!!”
After spinning him around at least a thousand times or so?
“Ughhh! Wheeek!”
The sound of him retching echoed from inside the stone prison.
‘So I can apply psychokinesis this way too. I just tried it out randomly.’
With a smirk at successfully applying the skill, I was about to begin the Evolved Creature operation when suddenly…
[Luminaras Floretinacentaira…]
‘…?!’
With the mysterious spell, darkness momentarily enveloped my mind.
– The Illusionist Oh Oung-han used the ultimate skill, which can only be used three times in his lifetime!
‘?!!’
It felt like something had gone terribly wrong.
A secret technique that could only be used three times in one’s life?!
– The Flower-Pollen of the Illusory God “Hamorpeur” is invading the space!
– [The Barrier of Vigilance] is neutralized by “Hamorpeur”!
– “Hamorpeur” breaks the boundary between reality and unreality.
– Black Flame Sorcerer Il-wol is exiled to the farthest dimension he has reached for three hours!
‘What?! No way!! I have an important quest to finish!!’
If only I could turn back time.
A unique aura bearer from the illusionist class.
Shouldn’t I have just attacked first to take him out directly?
As I closed my eyes tightly with regret, for some reason, only the message appeared, and nothing changed.
‘…Huh?’
I thought I would be transported to a dimension where I met the ‘Residue of Chaos’ or to a place like the desert where I encountered the Turtle Dragon, but there was no change at all. Instead, the darkness in my head gradually lifted.
– The ultimate skill borrowing the power of the Illusory God “Hamorpeur” was obstructed by an unknown, immense force!
– The ultimate skill of Flower Illusionist Oh Oung-han is returned!
Koooom—
“Gahhh! Gahhh… There’s no way…! The power of Hamorpeur isn’t working, who the hell are you?!”
“Well… I’d like to know too…”
Oh Oung-han, stunned as his ultimate skill was reverted, began to froth at the mouth and collapsed to the floor.
“Hey, hey! Wake up!”
Fortunately, when I splashed Irmana’s water on his face, Oh Oung-han snapped back to reality.
But he still looked abnormal; his veins were grotesquely swollen, making him look unrecognizable.
“Hah- Oh Oung-han. Honestly, you surprised me. I haven’t had many encounters with illusionists, but to think someone of your caliber existed.”
“Gehh… Don’t think I’m impressed by your flattery…”
“Hamorpeur, huh? A deity with great power. To tear apart the entire Barrier of Vigilance… that’s rather shocking.”
“Hmph! That pathetic domain of yours, I could handle it by myself!”
“What are you talking about? You didn’t even notice I was inside. All of that was the power of my domain.”
“………”
“But it was nice that you cast your illusion before coming in. Is it a guarantee to dodge the first attack? You must be quite the coward, huh?”
“Kuh-”
I genuinely complimented him, but Oh Oung-han was slowly turning pouty.
Realization struck him then: he just found an opponent whose power from the Divine Being connected to him didn’t work.
It was something he had likely never even dreamed of.
“Kuhh!! Twins, how dare you deceive me!!”
Oh Oung-han angrily shouted at the twins, who were happily enjoying their time on the bed.
“I don’t know- I’m happy. Aah-”
“Sister, this feels squishy~”
“Iiiiing~”
The twins, lost in their colors, felt no guilt over committing betrayal.
“What the hell did you do to reach this state?!”
“That’s not something you need to know. So— how did you end up all alone here? Care to share?”
“Chit…! If I tell you, will you spare me? I’ll give you whatever you want!”
He was quicker-witted than I expected, rapidly processing information and making a deal.
I gestured towards the twins.
“As you can see, if you cooperate, I might just gift you paradise.”
“I don’t need that kind of crap!”
“Fine then, start by telling me why Teacher Cha and Mrs. Kim haven’t shown up yet.”
“Teacher Cha’s lost a lot of money playing gamble right now and probably doesn’t have the energy to care for the twins. Mrs. Kim said she’d finish things with a man she met at the bar.”
“So they’re late because they’re busy gambling and having sex, huh? They weren’t particularly close to the twins, then?”
I realized how meaningless the twins’ emergency call really was.
