Chapter 260 - Advancing Fate (2)
What are we going to do?
This was the thought that popped into Seo-joon's head at that moment.
That would be the case, and Seo-joon and Jin-ri-hoe were at antagonistic points.
The press conference held in South Africa was tantamount to a declaration of war and, in effect, the opening of a war.
Seo Jun knew the truth of Jinrihoe, and
Jinrihoe also knew the truth.
Therefore, the option of reconciliation is completely excluded.
By the way, the Jinrihoe is looking for Seo-joon?
And the successor who was destined to be the apostle of chastity?
Seojun didn't worry too much.
“Please tell me to go back.”
It was already a situation where the Jinrihoe might be plotting something.
There was no need to focus on meeting Calia.
I wanted to subdue Calia like this, but the fight before the apostle ceremony was not good for Seo-joon in many ways.
After all, everything will be decided during the ceremony.
I didn't know what kind of controversy I would get into if I touched it.
Maybe that was what he was looking for.
Anyway, Seo-joon had no intention of meeting Calia.
“all right.”
Then, Seoyoon seemed to fully understand.
Didn't say anything further.
In the first place, Seoyoon also didn't feel very happy about meeting Calia.
So originally, I was thinking of handling it on my own line.
Still, Seo-jun's doctor came only because he had to ask.
So Seoyoon nodded and moved on.
And Seo-joon was also about to enter the room with the three transcendentalists.
buzz buzz.
Suddenly there was a muffled noise from downstairs.
Want something for a while.
“I have something to tell you.”
Suddenly, a strange voice came from below.
But it's not that unfamiliar.
Then a loud shout broke out.
It's like having an argument.
I roughly guessed what was going on.
Seojun looked at Seoyoon.
Seoyoon showed a slightly embarrassed expression.
And at Seoyoon's reaction, Seojun hardened his face.
Seoyoon's appearance now.
That meant Calia had entered this place without permission.
Seo-joon hardened his expression and turned around.
Then he strode downstairs.
Seo-yoon hurriedly followed behind Seo-joon.
downstairs like that.
There was a beautiful woman with blonde hair that reached below her shoulders.
Calia, a paladin wearing simple armor, was standing there.
Around it, Soo-yeon and Min-yul and Ha-yoon stood guard and confronted each other.
Seo-joon stopped for a moment, and
Su-yeon shouted at Calia just in time.
“Don’t come in here without asking where we are!”
“If you let me go like this, will you regret it?”
But Calia was unmoved.
It was an arrogant attitude as if you guys would not talk and leave.
At this, Min-yul stepped forward and shouted out loud.
“We have nothing to talk about with you!”
“Then I regret—.”
At that moment, Calia's gaze turned to Seo-jun.
Following that, the gaze of the team members also turned to Seo-joon.
Seo-joon trudged and stepped forward.
eye contact.
Seo-joon spoke coldly to Calia.
“What are we going to do now?”
Then Calia replied with a small smile.
“I want to talk.”
“I have nothing to say.”
“Still, you might want to listen to it once.”
Calia was reckless.
It was as if he thought that he was the one standing on top.
Calia said she had a story she wanted to tell.
I thought maybe there was something in it.
Seo-joon let out a smile.
I don't know what kind of story Calia brought.
However, whatever the story was, Seo-jun had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Even now, we don't know what tricks Jinrihoe is doing.
There was no need to mix up the story.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa!!
The bursting out of the three-stage magic power.
“A story to tell.”
Koo Goo Goo Goo...!
“I said no.”
“......”
Calia involuntarily kept her mouth shut.
That would also be the momentum that is exploding through Seo-jun's body.
It was because I couldn't move because I was crushed by the momentum.
No, can this... be called momentum?
Rather than momentum, it felt like some sort of sin...
A terrible rage in which existence hates existence.
This...wasn't the kind that humans dared to endure.
Terrible murderous intent combined with the sin of injustice.
Calia's hands began to tremble.
Cold sweat trickled down his smooth cheeks.
Calia gritted this.
Then he opened his mouth pretending to be nothing.
“You will... regret... you will...”
It was very difficult to even say a single word.
But I had to spit it out.
Anyway, Seo-joon can't help himself.
He is the designated successor as the Apostle of Purity.
By the way, do you do Hakoji like this before the Apostle Ceremony?
No matter how Seo Joon was, that wasn't the case.
It was nothing more than unilateral violence in a situation where nothing was revealed.
So the momentum you see now is just a bluff.
And I had to talk so I could bring the initiative this way.
Calia stood there and did not move.
And Seo-jun, who was looking at Calia.
“They communicate by will, so you won’t be able to understand what I’m saying…”
Pajijik!
In an instant, a blue thunderbolt burst through Seo-joon's body.
“Are you messing around?”
Seo-joon looked like a demon.
The trembling hand went beyond the fear and extended to the whole body.
overwhelming fear.
But Calia bites it hard.
It's a bluff anyway.
Seo-joon can do no harm to himself right now...!
“I shouldn’t have said it either.”
Flash!
For an instant, a bright light burst from Seo-joon's body.
The flow of thought suddenly stopped.
A mind stained with fear.
Calia's instincts have been ringing the alarm bell.
Instinct warns you to run away.
But how?
Calia instinctively took out the shield she was holding.
At the same time, Seo-jun's fist rushed through the space.
Whew——Oh!
Seojun's fist and Calia's shield collided.
Calia vomited blood at the shock she felt through her shield.
It was clearly a clash between bare hands and shields.
It was like a metal object colliding with a human hand.
however.
“Cuck!”
I mean... It was an incredible force.
What is this shock felt throughout the body?
This was not blocked by a shield, but it seemed to be beaten together with the shield.
dizzying mind.
In the meantime, Seojun lifted one foot.
Then, using the foot he stepped on as an axis, he swung the lifted foot.
can not avoid.
Calia just stared blankly at the flying kick.
Quadd Deuk!
As if time and space were distorted, space was grotesquely distorted.
At the same time, Calia flew through the air.
Kwa Dang Tang!
Calia was slumped to the floor unbalanced.
“Cool!”
blood oozing out again.
Calia couldn't come to her senses at all.
This time it was blocked with a shield.
Is it right to block it?
Calia was not sure.
That would be the case, because it seemed like Seo-Jun had deliberately hit the top of the shield.
Calia looked at the shield in her hand.
The shield was bent like a tin can.
It was a shield made with the finest materials and by the most outstanding blacksmith in the church.
Its value is in the tens of billions.
However, Seo-joon's fist and kick turned him into scrap.
‘This is nonsense...'
Calia's whole body trembles involuntarily.
Turbuck.
The sound of footsteps coming through them.
Seo-joon was approaching as he lifted his head with difficulty.
“Wait a minute...!”
Calia took a backward step in a crouching position.
However, Seo-joon's approaching steps did not stop.
coo goo goo goong...!!!!
Rather, it only adds to the horrific intent to kill.
Calia screamed involuntarily.
“If it comes out like this, it won’t be good for you either!”
pop.
Then, Seo-jun's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Calia smiled inwardly.
also.
Even if you pretended not to exist, it would end up like this.
Even if you do this or that.
It was clear that Seo-joon was also watching public opinion.
To be precise, it is not easy to think of Jinrihoe.
Although the intensity of the bluff exceeded Calia's expectations, it was still within the margin of error.
Only then did Calia let out a sigh of relief—.
“Did you believe in that one thing and act like this?”
Calia's body hardened like a stone statue.
Seojun's look.
Seo-joon's expression was ridiculed and strangely annoyed.
Seo-joon resumed his stopped steps.
of course.
It was true that it was awkward even for Seo-jun to kill Calia here.
The Jinrihoe decided to reveal everything during the ceremony, and
until then, we had no choice but to watch.
In a sense, it could be said to be the goal of Jinrihoe.
However, Seo-jun kills the successor who was appointed in the ceremony.
This was an act that crossed the line no matter how Seo-joon was.
Public opinion will turn around in an instant, and
at a point where it is already tense, it will completely lean toward the predominance of Jinrihoe.
That's why it was difficult for Seo-jun to kill Calia here.
but.
“Do you really think I can’t do it?”
It was awkward, but that didn't mean it couldn't be done.
if you were afraid of that
He probably didn't declare war against Jinrihoe in the first place.
Until now, I was afraid of those pressures.
It wasn't like that for Seojun now.
“Four people will not stand still...!”
“I say yes.”
Because Seo-joon literally tried to wage a ‘war' with Jinrihoe.
Turbuck.
There was not even a hint of hesitation in Seo-joon's steps.
Die!
Calia was able to think of it instinctively.
It wasn't the time to flirt.
It was none other than himself who was bluffing.
Die!
really die!
The appearance of Seojun approaching.
Calia screamed involuntarily.
“Heart of Beserk!”
pop.
At the same time, Seojun's footsteps stopped suddenly.
There was no other reason.
I didn't expect the words ‘Heart of Beserk' to come out of Calia's mouth.
The appearance of Seo-joon who stopped.
Did you think this was your only chance?
Calia put her hand into her bosom.
Then, he took out something.
Eventually, something in the form of a dark red form was in Kali's hand.
It was none other than Beserk's heart.
“......”
Seo-joon was momentarily at a loss for words.
Beserk's heart split into 3 fragments.
And what Seojun absorbed were two fragments.
To be precise, the first fragment already absorbed.
And now it was the second fragment it was trying to absorb.
So now all that's left is one last piece.
However, Seo-joon was halfway giving up the last fragment.
Because I thought the last fragment might have a great voice.
And now, facing the great voice and even going so far as to declare war.
One final fragment was expected to be absorbed by the Great Voice.
however.
The fragment was now in Calia's hand.
even.
“I came to give you this.”
i'll give it to you
Seo-joon's absurdity left the country for an hour.
“What are we going to do now?”
“It is literally. I, I... have come here to give you this.”
Calia answered in a voice trembling with fear.
Seojun quietly raised his gaze and looked at Calia.
Of course, there was no reason not to take it.
It can be said that there is no reason not to steal it since it was seen in front of you in the first place.
I don't know if it was someone else, but
if the target was Jinrihoe, there was no reason to cover up.
But since he said he would give it to me,
it didn't seem necessary to threaten him.
but.
‘why?'
The point was that I had absolutely no idea what it was.
It seemed to me that I needed to do this for sure.
“Why?”
“......”
Calia did not answer.
He just rolled his eyes.
The thought of rolling the hair was clearly visible.
Seojun clenched his fists tightly.
OK.
“I don’t know!”
Calia screamed in surprise.
Then, with a pleading expression, he spoke again.
“I don’t know either. He just told me to deliver this...! I swear in the name of Ji Jin-ri! I really don't know anything!”
And he even made an oath that he didn't even make.
For Jinrihoe members, the oath of truth must be kept.
“A great voice?”
Calia nodded very slowly.
Seeing Calia like that, Seo-joon released his clenched fist.
Then he let out a slight sigh.
if it goes like this.
It was very difficult to deal with Calia.
It was awkward in the first place, but
I received Beserk's heart, but it didn't look very good when I killed or subdued it.
Seo-joon stood there and pondered for a long time.
Then trudge.
I took a step towards Calia.
Soon after, Seo-joon stood in front of Calia.
Calia looked at Seo-joon with fearful eyes.
Seojun slowly stretched out his hand.
And then sizzle.
I grabbed Beserk's heart from Calia's hand.
Seojun turned his back without hesitation.
“go.”
Calia's expression softened at Seo-jun's words over her back.
And Seo-joon's words are heard again.
“I'll see you at the ceremony. And then...”
For some reason, Seo-joon didn't complete the afterword.
#
Immediately after leaving Calia.
Seo-joon left the cleanup to his teammates and returned straight to the room.
The heart of Beserk that I accidentally obtained.
The first thought that comes to my mind is, ‘Did I mess with my heart?' was
It was obvious that Seo-jun would absorb Beserk's heart.
So, if he manipulated his heart,
he could deal a big blow to Seo-joon.
That's why the possibility was high... But
honestly, Seo-joon didn't care much.
It was clear that the three transcendentalists would find out if he had manipulated his heart.
They were a trio of people with no one else to follow in alchemy and refinement.
No matter how great a voice is said to be comparable to Irina.
If something was done to the heart, there was no way the three transcendentalists would not notice it.
‘......'
Deep thoughts.
Seo-joon opened the door that arrived before he knew it.
Inside the room, the three transcendentalists were putting their heads together and continuing the discussion.
[Hmm... There are many ways to use it, but it's hard to approach it prematurely.]
[It would be nice if there was an experimental group that could be compared...]
[Dragon hearts aren't that easy to obtain, so one. It can't be helped.]
It seemed like there was a lot to talk about using the Holy Grail.
Seojun cautiously opened his mouth to them.
“I’m sorry about what you said over there.”
Then the three of them stopped talking and looked at Seo-joon.
Seo-Jun said while holding the heart of the Beserk he had just received.
“While you’re doing it, can you watch this too?”
gaze.
[......!!!!!]
[......!!!!!]
[......!!!!!]
The mouths of the three people opened at the same time.
That would also be the dark red shape that Seo-jun was holding.
[Isn't that... the dragon's heart...?]
He left that to himself a while ago.
It was the same thing.
[This crazy...!!!]
The faces of the three Transcendentalists were tinged with astonishment.
Was the dragon's heart... such a common item?
How many minutes has it been since you left the room and you're bringing back the dragon's heart again?
ah!
if?
[Here you are, even a dragon breeding Gena!! I just came from the slaughter!?!?]
[My God! My God!!! My God!!!]
[You, you, you, you are no different from the light of the sun!!!!!]
The three transcendentalists turned upside down.
