Chapter 358 – A Super-Mage Who Sees Providence.

Shaaaaa…

The sound of falling water is quite cool.
Right before washing, Ji-hyeon sang a humming song as she felt a pleasant sensation in the cold air in the bathroom.

It is a few hours before the ‘head office’ starts a search operation to figure out the secret hidden in the palace of destiny.
There might come a situation where you might have to run away if the operation goes wrong afterwards, but I thought it wouldn’t be bad to clean myself beforehand.

After checking if the temperature of the water in the bathtub is appropriate, he shakes his hand and nods his head to see if he likes it.

“Elunar~ I like it because it’s moderately modern~”

Literally, Elyunar is moderately modern.
Just imagining how horrible she would have been without one of all the bath products made her shudder.

Looking in the mirror, lathering her body, she inadvertently strikes a model-like pose.
There was a pretty body with almost no flab.
Appearance that can be said to be beautiful even among users who gradually adjust their appearance according to their level.

‘I thought Taeshik oppa would come over soon~’

Chae Tae-sik.
The man in charge of the ‘manager’ of the head office.
It’s a position where there’s nothing wrong with being friendly.

He’s pretending that he doesn’t like being pushed because he’s an ugly bitch with make-up like Oh Yeon or something, but seeing that he secretly induces physical contact, he absolutely doesn’t hate it.
If you touch them knowingly or unknowingly or melt them gently with meaningful words, they will try to treat you well.

If anything, you can go to bed once.
A man usually has fantasies and affections on his own once in a while.

And it is the woman named Jihyun who has the skill to more surely captivate the man who has such feelings.

In fact, several people at the head office are already unable to break free from the width of Jihyun’s skirt.

Everyone is living a life where money and reason are not regrettable, but isn’t sexual intercourse important between men and women?
At least, Jihyun thought so, and in this fantasy world, if the level difference between men and women is severe, the higher one receives less pleasure.

It meant that it was surprisingly difficult to find a woman with a high level and excellent sex skills like Jihyun.

‘If I let him put in those eight days, he won’t come to his senses?’

Currently, the main store, no… Yeodere, the biggest topic among users.
He is a hot topic that the top executives of the head office are keeping a close eye on and regard as dangerous.
The head office kept a close eye on him to the extent that even the chairman, who seemed to be uninterested in everything, felt a crisis.
Besides, there are rumors that the man Ji-hyeon is most interested in at the head office is even afraid of Dre.

The man Jihyun is interested in.
Director Jinpae Shin.
What kind of man he is

To know his greatness, it is first necessary to explain what kind of place the clan is.
A clan founded by the “Chairman” Who appeared like a comet three years ago.
At this point, even clans with rankers bow their stiff heads in order to receive benefits, and one of the largest clans of users is the head office.

It has all kinds of products and conveniences for users, and connections with influential people in countries around the world.
In terms of influence alone, the number one Makia in the ranking is Elyunar. It can be said to be the best group except for ‘Nara’, which was built in alliance with ‘Shinnyeo’.

The chairman’s skills are so great that even Poise and Reina are one step behind in terms of influence in the head office, which has been in Elyunar for less than three years.
Besides, the president had a good relationship with all rankers, so he practically had no enemies.
It’s just a rumor, but it’s said to have a close relationship with that Machia clan.

The head office has a great influence not only on the users but also on the people of Elyunar.
Jihyun also heard at first glance, but it is said that there is an affiliated company established under a name other than the user clan name of the head office.
The enormous company has developed many products and technologies that suit the taste of the Elyunar people, and has originally reached the scale of the world’s largest corporations.
Its level of scale reminds me of a kingdom.

Since it was such a powerful headquarters, of course there were countless employees and positions.
It is said that it was the first time in history that a group of users was created on such a large scale.

And in that historically unusual group, the name value and influence of Shin Jin-pae, who has firmly established himself as the No. 2 player at a young age, surpasses even rankers.

Excluding the chairman, the actual number one person in the head office.
Good manners. Handsome appearance. The ability to be evaluated as being able to become a ranker soon, and all kinds of achievements…
He is also the one who recently recruited Kang Geom-il’s ‘straight’ clan, ranked 4th.

It is an existence that seems to have been blessed by God.

I had also seen Jihyun a few times from a distance, but he was the perfect man as rumored.
So Jihyun thought the rumors were nonsense.

‘A person like that would be afraid of eight days?’

Of course, it is clear that even eight days are extraordinary.
He also has a sense of atrocity, judging by the video from when he fought Poseid.
However, Ji-hyun is a woman who has treated such tough men as she pleases.

‘Do you know? If I recruit Eidere, will the evaluation at the head office rise vertically…?’

When your rating goes up, your rank goes up.
The higher the rank, the higher the level of people you meet, and if you can seduce them, your influence in the company will be strong.

Currently, it is the maximum number of employees a manager-level can meet, but Ji-hyun thought that he could seduce director-levels someday.
Of course, those who are too ugly in appearance or physiologically unreasonable will reject her.

In that respect, Shunichi, who came on the expedition together this time, is the best target.
He was evaluated as being on the same level as his new team and was even nicknamed ‘action leader’ rather than an employee.

However, even though Jihyun seduced him knowingly and unknowingly, he did not budge an eye.

‘Perhaps it’s because of the performance…’

The current situation at the head office is messy.
Some of it became noisy due to eight days, but Nakamura, one of the two men who could be said to be on the same level as Shin Jin-pae, somehow entered his command and volunteered to be a subordinate.

Ji-hyeon interpreted that even if it wasn’t, Shunichi, who had a small power, would have been in a hurry, and that’s why women don’t come into sight in the current situation.

‘What about that?’

It’s just that now. You can seduce me later.
He did not pamper himself complacently enough to lose his confidence to this extent.

Above all, Jihyun thought that it would be no fun if it was too easy, and that it would be worthwhile to seduce something a little difficult.

‘How about eight days?’

Coming back to the story from earlier, Jihyun remembered eight days.
He makes a dumb expression, but he’s pretty handsome except for his eyes. I am a little excited because I think the style will be rough.
Besides, there were rumors that it was very ‘well’ by word of mouth.
Jihyun laughed inwardly saying that I was good too.

‘Maybe it’s a good match. Shall I suggest that I recruit eight people after this job is over? Whoops.’

While putting shampoo on his head, Jihyun flinched.
Again
I feel like I can feel the gaze again.
Even if you focus on ki or mana, there is no one by your side.

It is not something that suddenly happened after coming to this palace of destiny.
The eyes that I felt after entering the main store.
What if I ask other employees as well as Jihyun? I guess so too? It’s a story that comes out with a degree of reaction.

But something was different this time.
Normally, he was emotionless, and if he was a watchful eye, Ji-hyeon always feels it now… If you dare to express it, it is similar to the gaze of a woman who is disgusted and angry at a woman who cheats on her man.

‘It must be because of my mood.’

I shook off my usual discomfort and resumed the hum that had stopped.

“This time, it will be enough for two~”

Jihyun was thinking of putting the two men under her control this time.
Shen and Chae Tae-sik are the two of them.
Shen, who had been openly pushing, suddenly became quiet, but Ji-hyeon smiled, saying that it was just a clumsy push-and-pull.

That kind of guy would come over if he seduced him a little, and judging from his attitude so far, he didn’t know if he could seduce Taeshik too.

‘Let’s not be too greedy. I can pass Tae-sik oppa this time and keep only Shen in my hands.’

Shen is also a class president in his own way, so he must be useful somewhere.

‘It looks simple, so I don’t think there’s anything I can do… Wouldn’t it be okay if I talk to you roughly and raise you up?’

While making a plan, the foam that was carefully buried in the beautiful body was over.
Before rinsing off the bubbles with water, place your hand under the flowing stream of water.
It’s just the right temperature.
Jihyun, who picked up the shower while humming, stopped moving for a moment.
Because it reminded me of a story from before.

‘The story of the blade coming out of the shower.’

“…”

Even if it wasn’t so, there was also a feeling that the uneasy gaze I felt before had changed, so I had a slight chill.
I got chills when I remembered the ghost story I had heard during that time.

“That old lady is talking nonsense…”

While grumbling, she reached out her hand one or two more times to check the strength of the water flow, and with the thought of covering her body’s cold with the warmth of the water flow, Jihyun finally put the shower head on her body.

Shaaaaa…

“Oooh… It’s warm…”

I feel happy.
I want to sleep like this all the time, but I can’t get lost in the plan that will start a little later…

Shaaaaa.

‘I’m just pretending to work moderately, but I’m going to fall in the middle~’

Do you know what kind of traps there will be in the super wizard’s mansion, and will you actively go to the mission?
You can work moderately and hide your appearance. Or even tear the return scroll.

Shaaaaa.

‘Ah, then I don’t want to get caught by Shunichi-san, so don’t return and where should I hide?’

Shunichi has no interest in Jihyun, so there is little fear that she will be found out about her actions, but she might be mentioned by Chao Xin, who is now the captain of this journey.

‘Ciaoxin, that’s noisy for nothing. It’s naive, so even if you seduce it, it doesn’t come over~ It fights with the upper class every day…’

Aww.

“?”

Something hot
Did the temperature change?

Tring!

[Pain relief is canceled.]

“Huh? Uh…”

After hearing the voice of an unknown system.
Warmth.
With pain.
It changes.

“…Ki,aaaaa!?!?!?!?!

Ji-hyeon misses the shower in excruciating pain and hits her butt on the floor.
The whole body is sticky and sore.
Trembling, she lowers her head, blood trickling down her body from deep cuts.

“Hee, hee… Hee…!”

Chow ah!

Kwajik! Kwak Kwak!

What do you mean?
I looked to the side… The water stream coming out of the shower hit the wall.
And the tiles touched by the stream of water were ‘grinding’ as if they were hit by something dull and sharp.

“What, what is it…!”

Jihyun got up.
Painful, but dangerous. I have to get out of the bathroom first… It was such a movement of one mind.

Then, when he glanced at himself in the mirror, covered in blood, he was disgusted.

The clean and tidy skin was engraved with ugly cuts and the blood flowing down it reminded me of a corpse on the battlefield.

“Huh, black…”

That moment when I held back my tears, moved my steps, and grabbed the handle to get out of the bathroom.

Bathroom lights.
Turned off

Pod.

“Ah, what, what, what…”

[Where, go~?]

Voice.
Line behind. Cold spirits.

[You should wash your hair…]
“…”

What. Who is this. When. Where. Suddenly.

My thoughts soon ended and my body moved on its own and I pulled the handle.

Rattle. Rattle.

I twisted the handle.
Doesn’t open.

The cold behind it is getting closer.
Ji-hyeon’s mentality is rapidly collapsing.

“Uh, hee! Ah! Aaaaa! Mr. Chao-Xin! Mr. Shunichi-san!! AA AA AA!!”

Bang bang bang.

He knocks on the door and twists the doorknob, but he doesn’t budge.
It’s weird.
Jihyun is a support type, but first of all, a user.
It has a strong power with just the basic specs.
But the door won’t budge…?

‘That, yes. I’m a user too…! If it’s a ghost or whatever, if it’s a monster, you can just hunt it down… !’

However, she is always a back-up applicant.
In addition, she seduced men and always stayed away from labor and dangerous work.
She tried to turn the pain into anger, but she couldn’t control her shaking body, and she had no choice but to simply gather her mana and wield it rather than a skill that required concentration.

Mana does not accumulate.

“Why, why not…!”
[There.]

Chow

“…!”

Her voice faded slightly.
Nevertheless, instead of feeling relieved, there was one reason why she got goosebumps.

Earlier, because the voice came from the place where the shower head was away.

Chow ah!
Kwakacak. Kwa Kaka Cak.

The sound of the shower is getting closer.

[Head, potato.]
“AA AA AA!!”

She uses her basic skills wildly, but only the sounds of breaking tiles and mirrors are heard, and the sound of chills and streams of water only gets closer.

She screamed through unstoppable tears, but in the end the water splashed a little.

Chow Chow!

“Ugh..!”

Fortunately, the splashing water didn’t hurt at all.
But the mere fact that the water was approaching drove me crazy.
And…And…

Her head was grabbed.

[Rewind, I’ll give it to you~]
“Ah, ah! Don’t! Don’t! Wrong!! Don’t!”

Shukak! Kakacak!

[Ah uh o TT]

Aww.

The stream of water came close to my ears.
The head is caught, and something unknown goes straight to the head…

“Kyaaaaa!”

Pew!!

The door collapsed with the sound of something exploding.
Jihyun screamed as his throat was grabbed and pulled.

“Aaaaah!”
“Calm down! Calm down! It’s me, Chao Xin!”
“Ah ah ah ah ah…!”

When I came to my senses, it was indeed Chao Xin.
He rescued Jihyun.

“Enmi. Treat it.”
“Okay.”

Enmi, a neutral woman who is usually picky, treated Jihyun without saying anything.
She had most of her temples running, not just her by her side.
When they saw the terrible cut on Jihyeon, they frowned.

And only Cao Xin and Shunichi felt a sense of incongruity there and exchanged glances.

“…Shunichi-sama.”
“Yes. It’s unlocked.”

A few looked at him as if he meant something, but there was no answer.
Both men are looking straight ahead.

Click.

Water was still gushing out of the bathroom, which was turned on again… And…

“What is that…?”

Person. Is it?
His limbs were too long and his skin pale.
If that’s the case, I feel like I’m there too clearly to see it as a ghost…

“…”

Chao Xin reached out to her and used her breath magic to pull in the unknown creature.
Unexpectedly, the ghost was pulled in without even showing slight resistance.

Wajik, wajik.

The unidentified creature dragged in with its limbs broken had the body of a woman.
But her face has no eyeballs, and her mouth and nose are grotesquely sewn together.

The guy immediately hung his head.

“Ugh.”
“What’s this.”

Employees who resign without knowing themselves.

“I don’t know what.”

Looking around the members of the head office, Chao Xin said in a low voice.

“It is clear that we must prepare for battle.”

There was no disagreement.
Each of them took out their weapons, skills, and privileges and came out into the hallway.

“…Where is Taeshik? Ohyeon?”
“Huh? I’m sleeping to get some sleep before the operation…”

Oh Yeon, who ran out without knowing that things would turn out like this, is also pale as if she is worried about her lover.

“Bring them in. We’ll go to the lobby and wake the staff.”
“No, but…”

Everyone didn’t say anything, but that phenomenon. It was very similar to the ghost story that Huroot had mentioned.
It wouldn’t be just a coincidence.
It felt like something hidden in this palace of fate was revealing its true color.
Would waking the staff up make a difference?

“If you dig it up, whether you don’t know it or who ordered it, won’t it come out with information?”

The head office staff nodded their heads in agreement.

“Young. You go to wake up Taeshik with Ohyeon. Enmi. You continue to treat Jihyeon. I will float her up.”

When the skill was expressed at the end of the words, Jihyun rose to a suitable height.

“Oh, wait.”
“Why?”

Enmi said hesitantly.

“I’ll take you like this? I think I’ll have to put on some underwear…”
“The situation is probably fighting for an hour. If you’re ashamed to show your naked body to others, is it okay to stay here?”

Jihyun was serious and shook her head.
Staying here right now wasn’t a good choice at all…

The people of the head office scattered according to Chao Xin’s order.
They arrived in the lobby quickly with strong specs.

Around that time, the left and right lines were drawn and it was a little ugly, but Jihyun’s body was almost healed.

“…It’s dark.”

The lobby going up to the banquet hall on the third floor was too dark.
Quiet with

“I passed here five minutes ago and it wasn’t like this then. The light was on.”
“Damn it. You Ruth…!”

Two ordinary employees cursed.

“They fucked us up and ran away.”
“No, the light leaks out. Over there…”

En Mi followed her pointing finger and saw that there was a faint light shining on the stairs.

“…Let’s go.”

What if it’s a trap?
I’ll smash it from the front. With that thought in mind, users climbed the stairs.

Unexpectedly, nothing happened, and eventually we arrived at the banquet hall where the light leaked out.
The food placed on the long table was the same as the arrangement the users at the main store ate earlier.

And…

“What, what is this?”

Someone’s trembling voice.
Looking at his eyes…The meat was rotten and the vegetables were dry and twisted.
Besides, bugs gnawed on the food.

No way.
Did you eat this…?

“We ate something like this…”
“You… Bastards! You know who we are!!”
“…”

You probably didn’t eat this.
You can’t mistake it anyway.
So this is probably a device to create a horror atmosphere.
At that moment, Qiao Xin, who thought it was bad taste, felt people’s feelings all over the place.
No. They’ve been there from the beginning.
It wasn’t just a person’s sign, it was just something I didn’t notice.

Massive pillars, ceilings. Corner..
Dozens of ‘couriers’ who were grotesquely crouched in an invisible place were looking at them all at once and smirking.

“What, what are these bastards!”
“Are you going to try it!”

Could that be a signal?

Shit. Jump.

The couriers got up all at once, not caring about breaking their bones with their twisted movements.
Their mouths were torn to the point that would be impossible if they were normal, and then they started to attack the users of the main store.

“Kill!”
“These dare…!”

But soon the anger turned to bewilderment.
The couriers’ bodies were swelling… And changing shape.

It was in the form of a monster.

***

“I need a lot of mana to complete this~”

After Heston’s words, I and she looked at Frostia at the same time.

Spacious space.
At our gaze, which called up a space that dragons used to enjoy in the past… Frostia gave a hot snort.

“…Do you want this body?”

As befits a space that dragons used to enjoy, Frostia’s usual arrogance had changed to boldness.
We shouted fervently.

“I want!”
“Hurray!”

In response to our high-tension response, Frosty shrugged her shoulders and said, “This is what it is,” And laughed haha.

“Look! The greatness of this body!!”

Flash-!

Powerful mana that could cover the planet came out.

No matter how much I put it in, it’s not even 5%.
Also Frostia-sama!!

“Frostia-sama is the best!!”
“Best!”
“Wahhahahahaha!!”

We dedicated a late-night snack to our yongnyeo who smiles while tilting her huge breasts.
It was really fun to see the three of them lying side by side and eating delicious food while watching the changing world.

Hey

The world is so peaceful!
