I’ve now grown to like this development for various Musing so many ways he could be saved this arc by either one of them the entire last year and hugged to death and what not. ( previous chapter) Chapter 52 – How Come You Did Nothing?!Īs a werewolf’s resolute howl was resonating in a deserted isle across the sea, Yuhyung’s eyes incandesced even before Rael’s words were met with a period.Reason now, but it took a couple weeks to come to terms with -_. He had kept his eyes open, unlike his previous trips upon Rael’s back. With that moment just about few steps away from him, his heart did not allow his eyes to close. That was when concern smeared over Rael’s face as he looked around, and Yuhyung could imagine why. The zone they had sought now remained completely desolate, following the visit from Lunark, Zarga, Urokai, and the 8th Elder. Nobody would believe that this place once used to be as thick as Amazon rainforest with skyscrapers, just like any other spot in Seoul.īeing a deserted, uncluttered space, it appeared no different from the surface of the moon. “I can stay behind this thing if you could raise it for me.” In other words, there was no place at all for Yuhyung to take refuge, except for one thing: a body of concrete that surely would have constituted a wall or a pillar of a building, stranded out in the open for some reason.

Rael fell into awkward silence at the human’s suggestion. Knowing that nobles can completely powder a telephone pole with a punch, Rael could tell that this chunk of concrete would be as good as nothing. Nonetheless, he decided that it would be better than nothing. And Yuhyung had foreseen that Rael would decide so. Rael erected the pile, much bigger than his entire physique, with a single hand.īehind him, Yuhyung rolled his eyes to watch whether Rael spies what is beneath his shoes.Īnd he was contented at the fact that Rael never once shifted his attention from the artificial rock.

In truth, this piece of concrete did not belong there it was stationed after KSA’s cleanup of the war zone. Its purpose was to serve as a cairn and a veil that signs and hides the equipment he entrusted Helga’s teammate with. It worked in his favor that it happened to be Rael who accompanied him had he been with anybody from KSA or RK, he would have faced accusation right away. Yuhyung scanned his perimeter, scowling as inconspicuously as possible. Yuhyung inwardly questioned whom Rael is talking about, before he reminded himself of the man both of them were expecting and made an inaudible “ah” with his lips. With the sound of an object slicing through the air, something quite bulky stomped the earth. Rael had not seen him for a while, but his smile was not at all like what was in his memories. The noble was grinning in a cautious manner, not much discrepancy for them to see from his usual servile, overtly polite semblance. However, Rael could see through what lay underneath: animosity, jealousy, and hostility towards him. “Were you waiting for me? Or does this mean…”ĭeneb eyed the human standing behind Rael. “…So, are you actually planning on fighting me, Deneb Illiness?” I was bound to be caught as soon as I hit this country.” Yuhyung, being truthful to his performance until the last moment, sluggishly moved for shelter behind Rael’s black robe. “…You know that making an enemy out of your own kind with no appropriate reason is an act of rejection of the lord’s laws, established by our ancestors and rooted deeply upon our motherland. You don’t have to be a head of a clan to be aware of this must-know rule. Am I going too far to say that you have no interest or loyalty for the said project?” Not to mention attempt of disconnecting my path for good at this point is equal to sabotaging the QuadraNet project. However, there is this golden teaching that applies to every era and race: dead men tell no tales.” I’m more than well-aware of the meaning of my actions. He must be out of his mind, thought Rael.Įven with the question of possession of soul weapon put aside, those from non-octaclans are inferior to those from octaclans in terms of combat competence. ‘Looks like his obsession with Seira and jealousy against me have fatally clouded his judgment.’ Rael could bet Deneb would not even last a minute against Regis – the weakest of current heads of octaclans due to his age – or Seira – defined the weakest of heads of octaclans before Regis’s official appointment – even if they are to bench either one of their hands.
