The ball started late in the evening.
At 9 PM.
As early as an hour ago, the area around the venue had been sward with an array of vehicles.
'I thought it would be a small ball with not many people,'
But then, I realized that from Ersil's point of view, it might genuinely be considered a small ball.
I popped a piece of candy into my mouth, falling into brief contemplation.
My prompt appearance at the ball tonight was partly due to Seol Hwaryeon, but there was another reason.
There was a chance that the Mines might attack the ball.
'If things go as in the ga, Ersil would clear out the Mines, and it would serve as an opportunity for others to see Ersil again.'
I put on the Mask of Illusion and the suit I had bought just right for the occasion.
Ersil had prepared a mask and suit for , but in case of any chaos, it could lead to revealing my identity.
'That would be problematic.'
The difficulty had changed. The Mines, who should be scheming within the school, had switched to invading the school.
The mbers of the Legion of the Sky might pop up, or perhaps so famous groups from the villain's side might suddenly appear.
Therefore, I was observing people through the talent, Reading(-).
As I did so, familiar faces began to arrive.
Standing at 185 cm, dressed in a black suit with a clown mask, Park Woonhyuk appeared with a spear he obtained during weapon selection strapped to his back.
Also, Hong Yuhwa, who had let her red hair down, wore a crimson evening dress and a brooch gifted by Jeok Tapju pinned to her chest.
"...My goodness, isn't that Park Woonhyuk?"
"Look at the person coming from behind. Isn't that Hong Yuhwa? The rhen family, indeed."
The masked attendees murmured.
'They have no intention of hiding.'
Indeed, Hong Yuhwa, who had never beaten at school, and Park Woonhyuk, their statuses change when they step outside of school.
They were proud individuals, to begin with.
Moving my gaze from them, I looked elsewhere.
"That gentleman over there?"
Clip-clop clip-clop.
A woman with a voluptuous figure, dressed in a red dress and wearing a fox mask, approached with a warm voice.
[That's a Mine.]
[Mr. Seoha, she's a Mine!]
Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Spirit chid in.
I knew. She had appeared as a Mine in the ga illustrations.
"Would you like to spend so private ti with ?"
"Private ti, you say."
"Yes, just the two of us."
Emphasizing the word 'two,' she poked my chest with her finger.
"...My, you're firm."
"Well then, shall we go inside to talk?"
I led the Fox Mine further in.
[Wha, what's going on? Is he really doing this?]
[Ma, Master?]
Ignoring their flustered remarks, I guided the Fox Mine into a dimly lit area.
As we approached the garden, so had already claid their spots.
We moved past them to an even more secluded place.
"Oh dear, sir, aren't we going a bit too far?"
"I prefer not to be seen by others."
We walked for a while, until there were no signs of anyone else around.
The Mines rubbed its body closer, approaching .
Thud.
"Hng."
With the black sword drawn from my bracelet, I thrust it into the gut of the Mine, then sliced its throat.
A scattering of black ashes.
There was no blood flowing from the corpse. They were existences who had sold things from this world to aliens.
They couldn't even leave a trace of humanity in this world.
"You are indeed a wise one. To see through a Mine in one glance."
A voice filled with admiration.
The voice ca unexpectedly, with no indication, catching off guard. However, I managed to maintain my composure.
Thanks to the Composure (A) which always kept in the best of spirits.
'It was Seol Hwaryeon.'
Seol Hwaryeon's talent is specialized in freezing.
It's a significant upgrade from the talent of frost. She can freeze even traces of presence.
"Mines exist everywhere, at all tis. Therefore, we must cultivate the eye to find them."
"Girl, you failed to notice that the woman in the fox mask was a Mine due to your lacking talent."
"Most Mines cannot control their powers...... but those who hide in human societies usually know how to use their powers well. You are the best assassin produced by our assassination family. Continue to strive forward."
"Yes, I understand!"
Seol Hwaryeon saluted and spoke.
The assassination family had a clear hierarchy due to its nature.
Unless their superior was a Mine, they would even plunge into a pit of fire without hesitation if ordered.
'Because they killed Mines, villains, and those related to them, they eventually fell.'
I turned around.
"But what brings you here?"
"Because of the traces of the villains."
"Villains?"
"Yes. I received information that soone who calls himself Xiaotianma from the Legion of the Sky is going to attack this place."
"Why would they?"
"I am not quite sure......"
Seol Hwaryeon trailed off.
I glanced to the side. The Heavenly Spirit, taking the shape of a black fox and floating aimlessly, caught my eye.
[Is it because of the legacy of the Tianma?]
Was the intelligence of the Legion of the Sky so great? Enough to know that the legacy of the Tianma is here?
I had an instinctive feeling that this wasn't the case.
"Well, for starters..."
BOOM!
A massive explosion echoed.
Before I could finish my sentence, a fire broke out from a building on the 5th floor of the mansion.
[......How dare they while I am in conversation.]
"Let's head there first."
"Yes, understood."
Releasing a powerful aura, Seol Hwaryeon unsheathed her twin swords and rushed forward.
I surrounded my feet with the Heavenly Spirit and took a light leap.
In an instant, my body was airborne.
If the Black Flash Swordsmanship focused on speed, then Sword Phantom focused on Black Flash Swordsmanship's speed, jump, and direction change.
Using Nyeom, I jumped again from the middle of the 3rd floor.
When I entered the place where the flas were soaring, two people were already fighting.
Park Woonhyuk, wearing a Hahoe mask, was fighting an opponent shrouded in a deep black aura.
[The Heukmu technique.]
"It's a rough attempt at recreating the Demonic Qi. Of course, it pales in comparison to the actual Demonic Qi."
"Mr. Lee Seoha! There are two hidden ones."
'Two of them?'
Startled, I hear sothing activating. My Divine Vision activates.
Suddenly, I can see the distorted form of magic power.
'That's a high level.'
"It's not an enemy that the master can't handle."
"With Mr. Lee Seoha's current capabilities, it should be easy to take care of them."
'It will be a bother if they run away.'
"Yes, let's watch them for a while."
I nod, hiding myself.
"Haha! So this is all that the so-called 'Legendary One' can do!"
The elated voice of a boy echoed.
"Haa, I was unnecessarily nervous."
Park Woonhyuk changed his stance. His guarded posture disappeared, and he shifted to hold the spear on his shoulder.
"I thought your power was similar to mine, but it turns out you're nothing more than an empty shell. There's not even a tingling sensation. It's different from the power that erases magic itself."
Mumbling, Park Woonhyuk gathered his magic power.
Whoa!
The wind intensified. Spears are typically used by those who excel in distance control, but Park Woonhyuk uses it a bit differently.
Whirr!
Accompanied by the sound of thunder, he strikes with his spear. Its speed was just enough for to catch a glimpse!
"What!?"
The entity known as Xiaotianma reacted. His black Qi ford a disk to block the spear, but Park Woonhyuk's attack was just getting started.
He swings and stabs with his spear. With the wind and lightning attribute magic accompanying it, he attacked Xiaotianma.
"Stop."
Thump.
Soone intervened. A voice. The power imbued in his words stopped Park Woonhyuk.
Two elderly n appeared from behind Xiaotianma.
"Leader, we should escape now."
"The rhen family's defenses are stronger than we imagined. Many of our comrades have already fallen."
Just as the elderly man was about to take Xiaotianma away...
I kicked the window and dashed out. Instead of the Black Heavenly Demon Sword, I pulled out a reserve sword from the void space.
"Who..."
The Demonic Qi raged within .
The Legion of the Sky is quite a botherso group. They've been causing trouble here and there under the pretext of reviving the Tianma.
If they know that I am the Tianma, it will be like gaining an extra burden.
So, I hide the Black Heavenly Demon Sword and the Demonic Qi as much as possible.
Swoosh.
The sword was drawn.
It felt different from before.
How should I put it?
I felt like I knew how to efficiently cut down my opponent.
'Quickly.'
Like a flash, the sword was drawn. I held the sword with both hands. The Demonic Qi raged within .
Black Heavenly Demon Sword Technique.
My vision began to be dyed black.
Everything turned black, and within that, white lines were drawn.
I saw Park Woonhyuk's sour expression. The Xiaotianma with an aggrieved expression, not yet realizing what was happening.
A bit late.
I saw an old man with a horrified expression.
Instinctively, I sensed that he had realized who I was.
However, it was too late.
My sword had already reached an elder's neck before they could move.
Tianma?
The old man's lips trembled.
Screech!
A spear that suddenly appeared blocked my sword. Instinctively, I swiped my sword downwards.
Slash!
A line of blood traced across the old man's chest.
"Elder!"
"How could that sword!"
The one called 'Elder' looked at with bewildered eyes.
"Park Woonhyuk."
"That voice is."
"Those guys, they're villains. mbers of the Legion of the Sky."
"If they're villains, then it's my turn to step in."
"If so, I will take care of it. You can stay put, elder."
Seol Hwaryeon quietly approached from behind .
She was wearing a light hanbok and a white butterfly mask.
"I've dealt with the ones outside. Only these remain."
"Did you kill them?'
"No, I've frozen them. We have quite a few things to hear from these guys."
Seol Hwaryeon said with a chilling smile.
"You did well."
"!"
At my words, Seol Hwaryeon's disheveled hair ford an exclamation point.
Can she do that?
"Aren't you two the sa age?"
Park Woonhyuk quietly said to .
I replied with Nyeom.
'She's a bit of a special case.'
"I see."
enjoy! :)
