Su-hyeun looked down at Chloe and Jordan. He had expected this, but it happened much faster than his expectation. But thankfully, it looked like he was not late too much.
âWhere have you been?â Jordan asked.
He was urgent, but he felt relaxed a little now. The others were the same. Su-hyeun spread his magic when he arrived to let everybody know he came. The awakeners from the Dump Guild who came with Chloe also found out about Su-hyeunâs existence. The place where people killed and hunted each other became silent.
âOne rat ran away, so I chased after it,â Su-hyeun answered.
âA rat?â Jordan asked.
âYes,â Su-hyeun looked at Chloe and said, âMacRebur.â
When the unexpected name came out from Su-hyeunâs mouth, Chloeâs eyes widened.
âHe went by the alias âRolexâ. The S-Rank awakener and the faithful dog of the Dump Guild⊠oh, do you guys not like being called that? Anyway,â Su-hyeun grinned and continued, âAm I right?â
âHow⊠How did you know that?â Chole said.
âWhy do you guys always have the same reaction?â
âWhere is MacRebur? What happened to him?â
Swish!
At Chloeâs request, Su-hyeun lightly threw what he had in his hand.
Thud!

âHe became like this,â Su-hyeun answered, allowing the item to roll.
Chloe froze with her mouth open, not letting out a sound. She could not believe it; it was the head of MacRebur.
âCan you grasp the situation⊠old lady?â
Even though she heard what she hated most, Chloe couldnât bring herself to get angry. The situation was too frustrating to do so.
âMacRebur is dead. He isâŠâ Chloe thought.
Originally, Su-hyeun was not part of the plan of Chloe and other awakeners of the Dump Guild. The first plan was this; when they entered the dungeon, MacRebur eluded using his hiding skill. He was supposed to kill people one by one secretly. When he killed enough people, Chloe was supposed to ambush Jordan. Then, Chloe and MacRebur would kill Jordan together before wiping the whole team out.
It was a perfect plan. They had more S-Rank awakeners and MacRebur was a good assassin. There was no way they could fail. Chloe thought she could win Jordan alone since she would ambush him. She thought MacRebur was late in getting rid of Su-hyeun. She thought it wouldâve been better to attack Jordan first at the right time, rather waiting for MacRebur.
The surprise attack worked perfectly. MacRebur had joined to make sure the plan went smoothly, but it looked like that was unnecessary. But now, there was a problem. MacRebur, who was supposed to act as an assassin, was killed by Su-hyeun.
âHowâŠ?â Chloe thought.
When Su-hyeun had chased MacRebur at the beginning, she had thought that would not be a problem. But Su-hyeun caught MacRebur, which was a different story. Moreover, Su-hyeun fought MacRebur but didnât appear to be wounded. The situation was reversed. She planned to handle Jordan 2 on 1. Now, she was on her own.
âDamn itâŠâ
Jordan stared at Chloe. Her face became all crumpled.
âJust give me a minute. I will help you after I take care of this,â Jordan said to Su-hyeun.
Jordan pointed to his right arm and leg, frozen by Chloeâs magic. He could not fight like this. If Su-hyeun stalled some time, he would able to thaw the frozen parts.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Jordanâs arms and legs were lit with blue fire from Su-hyeunâs Flame skill.
âWhat⊠what the hell are you doing?â
Suprised, Jordan swung his arms and legs to put out the fire. Soon, he realized something and stared at his flaming hand.
âIs there a problem?â Su-hyeun asked.
In response to Su-hyeunâs apathy, Jordan made an absent expression. Jordan could not feel any hot feeling, but the ice that covered him started to melt. It was something to behold.
âIs this a characteristic of the skill itself? Or is he just that good at controlling his magic?â Jordan thought.
Either way, he was sure about one thing.
âThis is a way higher level of fire skill than the one I use.â
Jordanâs fire could burn everything down that he wanted, but that was it. He could not make a flame that wouldnât harm his chosen target, whether it be a person or an object. Jordan stood vacantly, mesmerized by what he was experiencing. Su-hyeun looked at Jordan and jumped down from the tree.
âI canât give you more time as you requested because I plan on finishing her myself,â Su-hyeun said.
Su-hyeunâs eyes turned to Chloe. The hopelessness on her face was a sight to behold. Jordan looked at Su-hyeun and Chloe alternately.
Jordan said, âThen let me change my request.â
âOk. Tell me,â Su-hyeun replied.
âI think I should take care of people over there. Can I leave her to you?â
It looked like Jordan was worrying other awakeners being attacked by the Dump Guild. They mightâve been able to fight back, but that would greatly harm his team unless he went now to help them. Thus, Jordan asked Su-hyeun to fight with Chloe to prevent more harm.
âSure. No problem.â
âOk, thenâŠâ
âWait.â
Jordan, who was about to turn, tilted his head. Su-hyeun took his hand to the air.
Rip!
The empty air was torn, creating a space. A small dragon came out of it and spread its wings.
Purr!
It was a very small dragon. Su-hyeun patted the back of Miru.
âTake him. He will help you.â
âWell⊠Thank you⊠for your help.â
Jordan answered a little bitterly as if he could not believe what a small dragon couldâve done. Even so, he believed Su-hyeun who was facing Chloe. With that in mind, he turned his body without hesitation.
âThe problem there is somewhat over,â Su-hyeun thought.
He strode toward Chloe. Since it became one-on-one combat, Chole regained her mental security. She opened her mouth, âAre you trying to deal with me alone? Wow, youâre arrogant.â
âArenât you tired of your pride and princess syndrome?â
âYou little bantlingâŠâ
âHey, old lady. Canât you see what is going on?â
Su-hyeun pointed at MacReburâs head on the ground.
âYouâll be like that soon.â
âShut up!â
Crack!
The huge ice surrounded Chloe. At the same time, the air froze quickly to limit Su-hyeunâs movement. When Su-hyeun did not resist, Chloe smiled of satisfaction.
âI got him!â Chloe thought.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a blue flame swirled around Su-hyeunâs body.
Tramp!
Su-hyeun walked to her slowly as if nothing had happened.
âYou must be an idiot. I just showed you this power.â
âDamnâŠ!â
âWhy do you think I was so late?â
âWhat?â
âThat guy was much more stubborn than I expected. It was hard to make him talk.â
Whoosh!
While talking, Su-hyeun suddenly disappeared. Chloe was surprised and made a thick layer of ice around her.
[The Curtain of the Glacier.]
It was a thick ice cover unpenetrable by even a bullet. Although this skill blocked her sight for a moment, it could cover her. It was an effective defense skill.
âI have to drag time first, and then I will find himâŠ,â Chloe thought.
Slash!
Swish!
At that moment, Su-hyeunâs sword came in from behind the ice, making a round hole in the curtain and cleanly kicking the ice off.
Wham!
âWhere⊠where are you?â Chloe shouted.
An entrance was created, but she could not see Su-hyeun. She thought he would get in through the hole. Since his sword hit the ice, she prepared her sword.
COMMENT
âFrom now onâŠâ
Swish!
She got chills. The sharp blade of a sword touched her neck. Her body stiffened. She thought her neck would be cut soon. That moment, she could hear Su-hyeunâs voice right next to her head.
âIf you answer my question well, Iâll grant you a swift and painless death.â
ââŠWhat?â
[The Curse of the Dark Psychic â Pain.]
She was on edge. Her eyes winded. At that moment, Su-hyeunâs sword cut into Chloeâs skin.
âUghâŠUrghâŠ!â
Chloeâs screams echoed within the round ice curtain. It was just a superficial cut, but she felt the pain cutting her whole body. She constantly screamed. Su-hyeun grabbed Chloeâs head.
âMacRebur said you probably know what he didnât. And he begged me to kill him.â
âUghâŠUrghâŠ!â
Not only could she not imagine that the prideful MacRebur would say anything like that, but she was also helpless against Su-hyeunâs skill. He created the pain that humans usually could not feel with his magic and skill.
âWell then, let me ask you again.â
Su-hyeun repeated that he could not get the answer from MacRebur.
âWhere is the Dump Guildâs home?â
***
Argh!
Chloeâs screams constantly rang out from the ice curtain. Jordan was not sure what was going on inside of the ice, but he was sure that Su-hyeun was okay.
âWhat kind of guy is he?â Jordan thought.
He dropped one of the Dump Guild awakeners that he held in his hand. That man was burnt to death. Jordan had known this man before as the A-Rank awakener of the Star Guild. It turned out that he was a Dump Guild member. However, Jordan was more surprised about Su-hyeun than Chloe. The Star Guild was related to the Dump Guild.
â⊠Is he done?â
The scream gradually faded away. The situation outside was almost over, too. It looked like he did not need to go to help Su-hyeun.
Grrrrrr!
âOuch! Ouch!â
Jordan looked beside him. One member of the Dump Guild crouched and got hit by Miruâs tail.
âIt is pretty useful, too,â Jordan thought.
He initially thought this small dragon would be useless, but it turned out to be more helpful than he expected. Miru helped his forces to recover from tiredness and placed shields on them. They saw great results from Miru.
Crack!
Jordan heard the ice breaking and turned his head. Su-hyeun walked out, cleaning up the bunch of the ice. Jordan could see the red blood through the broken ice pile. There was no doubt that it was Chloeâs blood.
âThat was fast.â
At Jordanâs word, Su-hyeun shrugged and replied.
âYeah, right? She wasnât as patient as I thought.â
ââŠPatient?â
Jordan wondered what that meant. He thought for a moment and asked in surprise.
âDid you torture her?â
That explained why there were only Chloeâs screams. It sounded more painful than just a regular fight. Su-hyeun did not deny this. Jordan was surprised and said as if he was overwhelmed.
âYou are colder than I expected.â
âWell, I am dealing with the Dump Guild.â
Jordan thought Su-hyeun was different than what he had thought. When they met the first time, he looked soft and gentle. Now he seemed harder and colder.
âYou donât like the Dump Guild?â Jordan asked.
âItâs pretty obvious I donât like them,â Su-hyeun answered.
âWhy? Is it like a personal grudge?â
âA grudgeâŠâ Su-hyeun mumbled and shook his head.

There was no such thing.
âNothing happened for me to hold a personal grudge, but I do feel something towards them.â
The Dump Guild was the crystals of the side effects that could happen when humans had a sudden power. Su-hyeun already knew so many accidents that would happen in the future because of them. Those were not something that he could stop by himself. This was more than stopping the accident right at the moment. There was only one fundamental solution.
Su-hyeun looked at Chloeâs corpse and said, âIâll take this opportunity to kill all those cockroaches.â
