Chapter 2377 – 2377. Modern Magic Challenge

Luminous executives continued the meeting via video chat.

Fundraising in progress, recruiting members has become a bit difficult, and the new leader of the Order Bureau, Seong Yu-jin.

“…”

“…”

When Seong Yu-jin’s name came up on the agenda, the executives fell silent like ghosts.

Even after only a few days, Seong Yu-jin’s name became very important. The news and media are praising her achievement of killing the Sage of Leme Gethon every day. Seeing the change in the attitude of the media, which initially slandered Seong Yu-jin, it was clear that there was pressure from the state.

“Jeon Se-hoon, who went to appease Seong Yu-jin, went missing. He probably died fighting with Seong Yu-jin. According to the information received, Seong Yu-jin fought and won against the commander of the 3rd Battalion.”

The expressions on the faces of the executives listening to Bright, the leader of Luminous, were not good. There was a rumor going around that Seong Yu-jin’s military power was comparable to that of the director of the Order Bureau. And since he failed to appease Seong Yu-jin, Seong Yu-jin was now a definite enemy of Rumenus.

“We are putting off retaliating against Seong Yu-jin.”

“Even Jeon Se-hoon, an executive, was harmed. If you move on without doing anything, the morale of the organization members will drop. There will also be people who want to leave the organization. And yet you’re not doing anything?”

“Seong Yu-jin suddenly appeared. Before making plans to deal with him, it would be better for him to carry out the plans he has already prepared. Sung Yujin? Even if he is strong, nothing will change. We will break down the suppression of the State of Order and turn this Republic of Korea into a Demon Korea.”

Bright said without wavering. The executives nodded at his firm appearance.

Bright continued.

“Seiji is one of the executives of Lemegeton who has been active for a long time. He was a kind of spiritual leader, and was also a symbol of Leme Geton. Since the symbol has been damaged, there is no way to remain silent. One way or another, Lemegeton will move. We remain silent for the time being, focusing on our plan. Check Lemegeton’s reaction and if there is no problem, execute the plan.”

“Couldn’t Lemegeton be hostile to us?”

“That is the worst case. We and Lemegeton have a common enemy: the State of Order. Unless we stimulate the Lemegeton first… They won’t provoke us either. Come on, move for the greater good. If the plans we have been preparing for several years succeed… “We will be the ones laughing last.”

People gathered in an abandoned building.

They were homeless people of various ages. From teenagers to old people holding canes. They were not the ordinary homeless people commonly known.

Illegal magic users.

They were people who happened to obtain a grimoire, awakened, and used magic, but ended up becoming magic criminals and harriers.

They sighed at their miserable life of poverty and mocked themselves.

“I heard there is a facility for wizards who have nowhere to go. “I heard that if you go there, at least you don’t have to worry about food.”

“It’s a story about an ordinary wizard. When you awakened, you used magic to burn down the house. You are already Harry. “As soon as I get there, I’ll be caught by the anti-horse squad and taken to prison, right?”

“Fuck. I didn’t become a wizard because I wanted to, but I’m treated like a criminal…”

They swallowed their anger.

Even though magic had the power, it was nothing compared to the anti-horse unit, a professional combat unit.

Bang!

The entrance to the abandoned building opened with a harsh sound and a group of people entered. They were members of the Luminous organization who helped them for several months.

The one in their center was a man with dyed yellow hair and squinted eyes. Since he and the surrounding men also wore suits, the homeless people felt intimidated.

Won Bi-hyeon. He introduced himself to the homeless people as a member of a wizard organization called Luminous and attracted people’s attention with applause.

“Okay, today I went a little too far for you guys. It’s a bulgogi lunch box. Of course, we will give it to you for free. Oh, is there anyone who is thinking about entrusting themselves to the government?”

Won Bi-hyeon’s tongue was smooth. As his voice continued, people looked at him with stupid eyes.

“The government is just spouting sweet lies to deceive you. If you were an ordinary wizard, you would have been treated well. But you are Harriers, magical criminals who commit crimes big and small. The government has no tolerance for Harriers. Are you relying on the government? The government will throw you in jail without the slightest hesitation.”

The homeless people nodded as if they were fascinated. No, actually they were possessed. This is because the magic of the man to Won Bi-hyeon’s right is brainwashing. Brainwashing magic worked well for immature wizards who could not even properly handle magic power.

Koo Seo-hwa, wearing a loose black coat and a black baseball cap, covering his face with a mask, covered the ears of his younger brother, Koo Seo-jun, who is 10 years younger than him.

She sensed the brainwashing magic in his words.

Won Bi-hyeon approached Gu Seo-hwa. He smiled pretentiously and handed two lunch boxes to her siblings.

“Mr. Koo Seo-hwa. Your talent is being noticed. Stop being stubborn and come join Luminous. How long can we continue living on the streets?”

“… “I have no intention of joining a terrorist group.”

“Then are you going towards the government? Oh, and the government will send the murderer to prison. Haha. Siblings will become separated? This is true. “I feel sorry for Seojun, who will be separated from his sister.”

“…”

Gu Seo-hwa’s eyes trembled.

Six months ago, her house was robbed, and her parents were killed by the robbers. Gu Seo-hwa and Gu Seo-jun returned home late and found their parents murdered by a robber. At that time, the grimoire was created and Gu Seo-hwa awakened as a wizard. With her magic she killed the robber and ran away with her younger brother.

Self-defense?

There is a self-defense law in Korea, but I have heard that it is a weak law. Plus, she was a wizard. In Korea, wizards are subject to stricter legal standards than ordinary people.

She had just turned 20 and didn’t want to be separated from her 10-year-old brother, so she ran away. So she arrived at this abandoned building. The brainwashing site of Luminous, which is beyond the reach of the police.

When she realized too late, she couldn’t run away. Because Luminous members are quietly monitoring the area around the abandoned building and managing those entering and leaving.

“Now, take it. The bulgogi lunch box is delicious. “Shouldn’t you feed your younger brother, putting yourself second to him?”

Won Fei-hyeon said with a mean smile. Gu Seo-hwa gritted his teeth, endured her humiliation, and accepted the lunch box. Her pride did not allow her to starve her brother.

“Koo Seo-hwa. Luminous values ​​your magic. If you put your mind to it, you will be able to rise to an executive position. Think about your brother’s future.”

“…”

“The situation changed a lot when the 8th Battalion commander appeared in the Order Bureau. Time is running out. I hope next time we can get an answer that benefits both of us.”

Won Bi-hyeon turned around. It was the moment when Ku Seo-hwa was about to open his lunch box with a sigh.

The wind blew. The wind was foreign. The wind did not escape through the open window, but was hovering around as if checking the inside of the building.

Gu Seo-hwa, a magician, felt the will and magic in the wind. Her eyes turn to the entrance where the wind originated.

There was a man.

It was the uniform of the anti-horse unit of the National Order Bureau. I heard that it is a uniform made with magic, so it has more defensive power than a decent body armor.

There was a red armband on his left arm, which was plain and seemed out of place in a place like this. A red armband worn only by captain-level troops. There was a clear black number 8 written on it.

The meaning was simple. He was Seong Yu-jin, the captain of the 8th Battalion, which is making a lot of noise in the news and on the Internet these days.

“A bunch of beggars gathered here. I will show you special mercy. “Put your head in.”

People were helpless at Seong Yu-jin’s declaration. Won Bi-hyeon’s face was wrinkled nicely.

“I never thought a leader would come to a place like this in person. The other crew members… You didn’t bring it. “I guess they didn’t know we were here?”

“The harrier is very talkative. “Didn’t you hear me say ‘stick your head in’?”

Seong Yu-jin snaps his fingers. The invisible blade of wind aimed at Won Bi-hyeon’s neck. Won Bi-hyeon sensed his magical power and quickly lowered his head to avoid the attack.

Gu Seo-hwa, who was watching the scene from behind, opened her mouth. You can tell because she is a wind wizard. How neatly Sung Yu-jin is handling the wind now.

“Shit! Kill him! You are ordinary people who are not yet wanted! Even if you are overpowered, you will not die! Quickly attack that guy!”

Won Bi-hyeon’s subordinates applied brainwashing magic to his voice. Homeless people who had continuously received brainwashing magic rushed to Seong Yu-jin with bleary eyes.

And Seong Yu-jin equally killed everyone who attacked him.

Whether children, young people or the elderly, if they attacked with hostility, they were cut to death with a wind cutter.

It was a scene of overwhelming slaughter. Even if wizards try to attack with magic, they are cut to death before the magic is completed. The wind was invisible and fast, so it was not easy to avoid.

In less than a minute, the space was filled with the smell of blood. The floor became grotesque with internal organs and flesh. Seong Yu-jin was floating in the air. She floated her body with the wind.

“This is crazy… Is it okay for the Daema unit, which protects justice in Korea, to slaughter people? They are wizards, but most of them are ordinary people who are not wanted. It’s not a harrier! You are a murderer who slaughtered ordinary people! If this fact becomes known to society, something very interesting will happen!”

“Huh? What nonsense? “You were the one who killed that poor ordinary person.”

“… Yes?”

“The Harrier group Luminous committed terrorism as usual and massacred good citizens. And the commander of the 8th Battalion upheld the justice of the Republic of Korea by punishing the evil enemies of Luminous. Isn’t that worth it?”

“Ji, now. Do you mean to distort the truth and place all the blame on Luminous?!”

“I understood correctly.”

“Can you still say you are on the side of justice?!”

“Am I strong, am I not justice?”

“You crazy bastard!! Luminous is a new system that will rule Korea in the future! “I won’t let people like you spread shit!”

Won Bi-hyeon grabbed his grimoire, a tie.

“Ars Magna, Blood Chase!”

All the blood in the abandoned building floated in the air and gathered around Won Bi-hyeon. A large amount of blood turned into dozens of weapons, including swords, spears, and axes, and were aimed at Seong Yu-jin.

“Die here!!”

Dozens of weapons rushed to Seong Yu-jin.
