Chapter 2306 – 2306. God’s Atlantis
The golem’s weak point is its core. Even the golem creator knows that fact. Therefore, the most important core must be hidden or protected more preciously than the others.
Hiding it is not a good choice. The only places you can hide are the golem’s body and head. It is not suitable for arms and legs as they take a lot of impact. What remains is the torso and head.
‘The body is much thicker than the head. ‘The core can be protected relatively safely.’
A thunderstorm, a thunderstorm.
Lightning struck once again. The lightning pierced the golem’s solid rock body and shattered its core. The golem’s form collapsed and turned into an ordinary rock.
‘I haven’t been using my body properly lately… ‘It’s quite a taste.’
I saw other golems coming from afar. I was about to take out the Hualien Blade and start running away, but stopped.
“These golems. If you think about it, it is the property of the empire. Elena. Is it okay to destroy this?”
The answer that came back was simple.
“Does not matter. The effect of the guardian stone has also changed slightly in Atlantis. It automatically produces golems after a certain period of time. “I understand that a maximum of 120 units will be made.”
“Haha. “I will destroy all the trash that gets in my way.”
He ran out, licking the blade of the Hualien Blade with his tongue. The blade of the Hualien Blade vibrated as if sensing that it was time for him to be active for the first time in a long time.
Pajijik.
It rushed at the golems with a red thunderbolt.

“You seem excited.”
Elena nodded, looking at Seong Yu-jin running wild with red thunderbolts wrapped around her body. She understood Seong Yu-jin’s actions.
‘Stress must have built up while conquering civilization. As a leader of civilization, there wouldn’t have been anything he could do directly. Even if I had fought a battle with Lucas or something, I wouldn’t have been satisfied.’
The time Seong Yu-jin spent targeting the 7,500 area was not simply 50 days. For some reason, the time skip has stopped… At least half a year or more. He probably spent more than a year in a weakened state.
‘I understand how Eugene feels because there was a time when she was unable to use her powers as she wanted due to her lifespan. Even if you have strength, you can’t use it, and being forced to become weak is too stressful.’
If I have power, I want to use it. That was a temptation that the powerful always felt.
Elena glanced next to her. Joo Seohyun’s hands and feet are twitching. Although she is well-controlled, her anger leaks out. She probably wants to test her skills by running wild like Sung Yu-jin.
‘… That speculation is also directed at Eugene.’
Eugene and Joo Seohyun. I know that the relationship is not normal and that they are enemies. I don’t know the exact relationship, but Joo Seohyun is wearing a chastity belt. It is not difficult to guess the relationship based on that alone.
‘But the relationship between a man and a woman is a mysterious thing. There are things that can only be seen by third parties, not the parties involved.’
Seong Yu-jin cares for Joo Seo-hyun immensely. Didn’t you clearly see how she treated Seohyun Joo in the 6,700 district, the entertainment kingdom?
‘… My memories of that time are a bit embarrassing. I lived a very lustful life.’
According to Elena, there were five women in Sung Yu-jin’s heart. Self, Yuria, Mi-ryeong, Joo Seo-hyun, Seong Ha-ri.
I’m not sure if there are women in real life. Because she was never summoned.
‘I don’t want to admit it, but Yuria is the one who is ahead. Maybe it’s because it’s my first time, so I’m more attached to it. The second is me. The third one is probably a black fox on the inside… Joo Seo-hyun and Sung Ha-ri… Seonghari is probably on top.’
What is important here is that, unlike Joo Seohyun, other people live in a different world. And basically I couldn’t get involved in the other world.
‘My real competitor is Joo Seohyun.’
A crooked smile appears on Elena’s lips. Joo Seohyun, who has a good sense of humor, was startled and wary of Elena.
‘What should I do with this? The competition is already over.’
The rose necklace that Joo Seohyun is wearing is a bit annoying. But a necklace is a necklace. Nothing has as special a meaning as the ring worn on the ring finger of the left hand.
In my heart, I want to get rid of Joo Seohyun far away. But Seong Yu-jin couldn’t have done that. In the first place, Seong Yu-jin’s abilities were so great that it was impossible.
‘It is not faultless for a powerful person to take his concubine. And when you become an emperor, it is normal to have a lot of women.’
But Seong Yu-jin was a man who was more than an emperor. And Elena was not a woman who made dumb choices based on her emotions. She knew she could do the best she could.
‘My original wife in this world will be me.’
Elena looked and said with an arrogant expression.
“I will accept her position as your concubine.”
The bridge of Joo Seohyun’s nose twitched at the unexpected remark.
“… What does that mean?”
“You are a woman too, so there is no way you wouldn’t know the meaning of the ring on your left ring finger. I received a marriage proposal from Eugene an hour ago. I accepted the marriage proposal.”
“It has nothing to do with me. Oh, let me tell you in advance. “I will kill Seong Yu-jin.”
“Hmm. “I don’t think I can do it?”
Joo Seohyun responded coldly to Elena’s blatant ridicule.
“You can. “Someday, I will definitely, absolutely, kill Seong Yu-jin.”
“When exactly is the one day you’re talking about? Are you talking about 70 years from now?”
“… “What are you trying to gain by provoking me?”
“I’m trying to help you. The Baldert family will help you. I will obtain all the elixirs and swords I can find and provide you with support. If you combine your outstanding talent with your support, it won’t take more than half a year to surpass Eugene. How do you feel?”
“No need. I will kill Seong Yu-jin with all my might. “No one can be involved in my revenge.”
“No matter how I look at it, it looks like you have no desire for revenge. Revenge, as I know it, is a desperate struggle that risks everything. I don’t feel any despair from you. Do you really have a desire to get revenge on Eugene?”
“What are you talking about that you know?”
“I think I know better than you.”
“…”
Joo Seohyun glared at Elena. There was a clear feeling of hostility and death. Elena shrugged her shoulders. Although it was a bit harsh for her to live, she decided to understand with the generosity of her original wife. It seems like he doesn’t even know that he’s so excited that he’s trying to kill himself.
“That relationship won’t last forever. The way I see it, sooner or later. Sooner or later, you will make a choice.”
The result was obvious to Elena.
“…”
Elena hummed and walked her way, leaving Joo Seohyun frowning.
Zhou Seohyun glared at her back and grabbed the hilt of her sword. She had been in a bad mood since earlier.
‘She wants to become Seong Yu-jin’s concubine? I haven’t completely surrendered to Seong Yu-jin. She just hasn’t won yet. I will kill Seong Yu-jin with my own power. And…’
And I didn’t think anything. Seohyun Joo realized that her anger and hatred toward Seong Yujin were not the same as before.
Was this something I got used to and adapted to? Otherwise, has she changed herself?
Joo Seohyun’s eyes wavered, unable to keep her balance.
「Black Vengeance is disappointed in you.」
“… What should I do?”
Joo Seo-hyun thought about what happened to Seong Yu-jin and walked away, squeezing out her anger. But why? What reminds her of Seong Yu-jin, who saved her and died.

She arrived at the place where the guardian stone was, killing the golems blocking her path.
The watermelon-sized guardian stone was floating in the air as if it were a superconductor. It was a translucent crystal stone and was shaped like a diamond. Part of the right corner is broken. The piece fell helplessly on the floor.
“Elena. “Can this be restored?”
“Possible. According to the report, less than a month has passed since the guardian stone was damaged. “I guess I can use my lifespan for 10 years.”
“It’s only broken, but it has a lifespan of 10 years.”
I was dumbfounded and reached out for the guardian stone. Although it was bright, there was no sense of danger.
‘Because this is a thing. You can also see information.’
「Imperial Guardian Stone
The guardian stone is damaged and does not function properly.
Suppresses the occurrence of dangerous monsters within the Justia Empire.
It blocks the evil energy flying into the Justia Empire.
Smoothes the flow of mana in the Justia Empire.
Produces a guardian golem that protects the guardian stone.
Rank: SS”
‘Seeing the information makes me a bit greedy.’
However, it seemed that the Empire Guardian Stone would not be effective unless it was the Justian Empire.
This means that even if you take it, it will only become trash.
Elena crossed her arms and looked at her guardian stone with narrowed eyes.
“It’s different from Manager Su Ho-seok’s report. They said it broke naturally over time… Someone hit the guardian stone and broke part of it. Just enough to cause a malfunction in the function of the guardian stone.”
It was the moment Elena finished speaking. As if she had been waiting, light explodes around her and a doll appears.
‘Direct space movement is impossible because of the guardian stone… No, wait. There was no spatial movement in the information on the guardian stone I just saw.’
Joo Seo-hyun and I pulled out our swords at the same time. 20 people showed up. Their posture is refined, and their skills are sharpened. They are professional assassins.
“Oh, oh. The illusionist really appeared. I was skeptical… “That’s awesome.”
The man with long limbs laughed frivolously. The back of his hand was equipped with an elongated claw.
“Let’s finish it quickly.”
A masked man with a sturdy physique spoke in a low voice. He had no weapon.
I watched them indifferently and asked Elena.
“You fell into a trap. “Is this the emperor’s doing?”
“If the emperor decided to set a trap… It didn’t end like this. You really had to risk your life. The emperor only received reports on the condition of the guardian stone, but would not have known its exact condition.”
“Is this the work of manager Su Ho-seok?”
“Maybe.”
The elongated man swung his claw. Three dark red swords fly at the same time. Joo Seohyun stepped forward before me and struck out the sword.
“What’s so relaxing? “You’re screwed.”
I smiled broadly at him.
“You are the ones who are screwed. “I swear, I will put you in hell.”
