A green fog suddenly appeared at Demon guildâs entrance, and with it came countless messages.
[You have attacked user âRakolâ.]
[You have entered an âenemyâ state with user Rakol.]
[User Rakol has a high infamy score.]
[Your infamy score will not rise.]
[You have attacked user âWhiteâ.]
[You have entered an âenemyâ state with user White.]
[User White has a high infamy score.]
[Your infamy score will not rise.]
[..]
Soo Hyuk was staring into the silent fog, preparing for any Demon guild members that might charge out. From their silhouettes, he could tell that some were trying to escape disorderly, while some werenât moving at all.
âIs it paralysis?â
The users that werenât moving inside the fog mustâve fallen in a paralysis state.
âSoo Hyuk? Isnât this bastard the one we were searching for? The one with a kill order?â
âThis fucker doesnât know any fear! Where does he think this is!?â
âWhat, heâs here?â
âHeâs crazy.â
âIs he that Soo Hyuk?â
âI think so? Didnât they say he wasnât in a guild? This bastardâs not in one either.â
Soo Hyuk checked inside the fog just in case, but they were all Demon guild members.
The users that could still move were haphazardly trying to escape while cursing loudly. It was a pandemonium in there. Meanwhile, there were a few people that the fog couldnât cover or those that managed to escape the fog.
âFlame Dance.â
Soo Hyuk first aimed Flame Dance at the Demon guild members that the poison fog couldnât affect.
Shuak!
The small wisp of fire flew from his hands and wreaked havoc amongst the Demon guild members. After that, he continuously cast magic after magic at the escaping guild members.
[You have entered an âenemyâ state with user Raiden.]
[User Raiden has a high infamy score.]
[Your infamy score will not rise.]
[You have attacked user âKyakyaâ.]
[You have entered an âenemyâ state with user Kyakya.]
[User Kyakya has a high infamy score.]
[Your infamy score will not rise.]
Numerous messages appeared every time he cast a spell. As Soo Hyuk glanced at the messages, he thought,
âFortunately, theyâre all criminals.â
All the Demon guild members had a high infamy score without exception, which meant that his own infamy score wouldnât rise even if he killed them. If some of them had a low infamy score? He himself could be branded as a criminal after this. As he leisurely fired one spell after another, the Demon guild were falling around him like flies.
At that moment.
âHey! Look at that fucker!â
âThis crazy bastard!
Soo Hyuk heard faint cries from behind his back. The other Demon guild members were returning after getting a message.
âMagic Missile, Inferno.â
He first cast his available magic at the returning Demon guild members. As they collapsed without any resistance, he thought.
âI think this is enough for them to divert their attention for a while.â
He had killed Demon guild members right in their turf. If nothing unexpected happened, the members in Hedlin would be called back to investigate around Hadrac.
âIâll see you again after my holiday.â
After swearing in his mind, Soo Hyuk then ran to a corner. Making sure he was out of sight, he then teleported to the Archmageâs Subspace.
âArchmageâs Subspace.â
[Warping to the Archmageâs Subspace.]
Soo Hyuk took his mask off when he arrived at the subspace. Then he started walking towards the tunnel to head back to Hedlin.
âThey were a lot weaker than I expected.â
He had expected that they wouldnât be very difficult. The three men that he had killed first: Loken, Mandara and Haiden, were treated as being on the strong side of the Demon guild. But it turned to be not ânot hardâ, but âvery easyâ.
âMaybe I shouldâve cleaned them out completely?â
While reflecting, he arrived at Hedlin.
âPlease wait!â
âWeâll be using it first!â
Soo Hyuk, who had arrived at Hedlin, saw the Demon guild members rushing to the warp gates. They were trying to cut the line so that they could use the warp gates faster. It was likely because of the turmoil in Hadrac.
âIt worked out as I expected.â
Soo Hyuk sighed in relief while looking around. He wouldâve been in a tough spot if they hadnât reacted to his actions, but it had turned out well.
âI can finally relax with my parents in peace.â
He had successfully diverted their attention from Hedlin, so his plan was a resounding success. After glancing at the panicking Demon guild, he headed for a bakery. He had promised his parents after all.
âWelcome!â
âHello.â
Soo Hyuk looked around the bakery after receiving the bakerâs greeting. The stock ranged from the basic hard bread to the crazy high-end bread that cost over 30 gold.
âShould I buy some of everything?â
His situation was different from when he first started Pangea. Bread costing 30 gold were in his range of âacceptableâ. So, he bought 3 of each kind except the hard bread. Walking out of the bakery, he sent a message to his dad, Ji Song.
-Soo Hyuk: Dad, where are you?
-Ji Song: Oh, is this how you do it?
-Ji Song: Ah, I did it!
-Ji Song: Come to the third gate! Iâll be waiting there!
-Soo Hyuk: Iâll be right there.
Soo Hyuk smiled after sending the message. He could enjoy his holiday now.
* * *
Baal asked disbelievingly.
âRhino said he didnât know?â
He was suspicious. Rhino shouldâve been able to dig up information about some poison magician, but he suddenly couldnât? Haggis replied to Baalâs question.
âYes, he doesnât know. He said there a poison magician like that.â
Rhino definitely said that he didnât know. That there was no such poison magician. Then, Baal remarked at Haggisâ answer.
âHmm, itâs weird. They clearly said that it was a poison tower robe.
He was also a user, not an NPC. And for users to be able to wear the Tower of Poisonâs robe, they had to pass their test first. There no other way to get a poison tower robe. One couldnât exchange, drop or buy it as well.
âDid Loken make a mistake somehow?â
There was a possibility that this Soo Hyuk was wearing something similar to the poison towerâs robe.
âBut Haiden couldnât have mistaken it as wellâŚâ
Baal considered the possibility that Loken couldâve mistaken it, but immediately rejected the thought. Two people couldnât make the same mistake. There was a possibility, but it would be pitifully low.
âBut the thing isâŚâ
Haggis opened his mouth while Baal was muttering to himself.
âI donât think Rhinoâs telling the truth.â
ââŚHmmâ
Baal cocked his head at Haggisâ words.
âWhat do mean, heâs not telling the truth? How could you tell?â
âHis eyes.â
During the conversation, Haggis had always had an uncomfortable feeling.
âHow should I put it, it was like he was pretending not to know.â
âWhat?â
Baal exclaimed in surprise.
âOf course, Iâm not 100% sure.â
Haggis quickly continused at Baalâs reaction. He wasnât certain, it was merely a gut feeling.
âHmmâŚâ
Baal murmured.
âIf itâs as you saidâŚâ
Baal trailed off but then quickly continued.
âThen he must be at a tricky location, or heâs someone out of our leagâŚâ
At that moment, Baal suddenly froze with a confused frown.
ââŚ?â
Haggis made a suspicious expression at Baalâs sudden change. Why had he stopped talking? Did something big happen?
âHaa⌠Unbelievable.â
Baal muttered quietly.
âWhat happened?â
Asked Haggis.
âWellâŚâ
Baal then trailed off again. Then he looked at the message again.
-Rako: Soo Hyuk suddenly appeared at the guild house! Heâs attacking the guild members.
âThis crazy bastard.â
He couldnât put it any other way. Baal turned his eyes away from the message to Haggis, who was waiting for his answer.
âThis Soo Hyuk apparently just outside the door?â
âWhat?â
Haggis frowned at the unexpected answer.
âIs he insane?â
Did he even know where this was?
âIâll take care of it.â
Haggis sighed as he stood up from his seat. He hadnât planned to be actively involved with the hunt, but it couldnât be helped now since Soo Hyuk was at the front door. After exiting the room, he kept walking to the gates of the guild house. When he came out of the building, Haggis could see a thick green gas covering the gates.
ââŚPoison fog?â
Haggis thought as he stared at the green gas. The reason other members couldnât get in was likely because of the poison fog.
âIs that a poison fog?â
He asked a nearby guild member.
âIt is.â
The guild member replied while nodding.
âIsnât there anyone who can use wind or fire magic?â
Haggis then asked the guild members in his surroundings. They could blow away the poison gas with wind or fire magic, but no one answered his call. Haggis stared at the silent guild members gripping various weapons like swords and spears and sighed deeply.
âDo I have to break through with force?â
It seemed like the only way they could get past the poison fog was to break through forcibly. After steeling himself, Haggis plunged himself into the thick green fog.
[You have been poison by the Blood Trollâs Poison.]
[You will bleed for 1 minute.]
[You have been poisoned by Snake Venom.]
[You will be frozen for 1 minute.]
[All movement speed will be reduced by 10%]
[You have entered an âenemyâ state with user âSoo Hyukâ.]
Numerous messages appeared when he entered the poison fog. Then when he looked at the status ailments, Haggis quickly checked his health while running.
âThis fucking scam.â
Haggis hurriedly opened his inventory and took out a health potion after he looked at his current health. His health was depleting at an outrageous rate. Then after taking the potion and successfully breaking through the fog, Haggis couldnât help but curse again.
âFuck! What the heck is this!â
A massive fire tornado was coming towards him. Haggis hesitated for a moment, then jumped into the green gas again. Then while taking a health potion again, he ran towards the guild house.
âEh, vice guild master?â
The guild members who were waiting outside the fog made a surprised expression when Haggis appeared again in a ragged state. They were confused about why Haggis had come back so quickly, but Haggis wasnât in a situation to explain.
Haggis quickly took a purifying potion to get rid of his bleeding and frozen state, then sent Baal, who was still in the room, a message.
-Haggis: Outsideâs a complete mess.
-Baal: What do you mean?
-Haggis: Thereâs poison fog, fire tornados and shit at the gates!
-Baal: What? Firestorm?
-Haggis: Yes! First call back the guys in Hedlin. No one here can resolve the situation!

-Baal: Alright.
Shuaak!
The poison fog disappeared when he ended his talk with Baal. It looked like the effect duration had run out. When Haggis looked outside, he couldnât the Firestorm either, but he frowned when he looked at what was there.
âShit.â
There were numerous corpses everywhere. And the mark of the Demon guild was still glowing faintly on the corpses.
