” Seulgi. ”

” Huh? Why Kim Taesung?. Perhaps, you want to do it again?

” No, girl I got no money ”

” Aie, of course this time I’ll do it for free . . . how about it? ”

” No that’s not it. Let’s talk. Talk. Ah, stop touching. Let’s talk shall we . . . ”

” Whats wrong with you today? Fuck . . . you don’t want to do it? I haven’t seen you for a few days, were you visiting Hyeyoung next door? Are you tired of me? ”

” No that’s not it . . . do you think I have the money for that? It’s already difficult enough coming here . . . ”

” Last time you met Hyeyoung, you asked me who I was. Isn’t that right? Even if you do fuck other bitches, I told you not to forget this side. ”

” No that’s not it at all. I just wanted to talk . . . let’s talk . . . since we always just fuck, our relationship hasn’t been making any progress. ”

” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ”

” Hmm . . . hmm . . . well alright, we can talk I guess. You’re really something. I haven’t seen a bastard like you that would come here just to talk. The rest are desperate trying to finish . . . come to think of it, that’s fucked up. Alright, let’s talk. What do you want to say? ”

” Well really . . . I have nothing to say. It’s just something I’m curious about. ”

” What is it? ”

” I wanted to ask why . . . . why you ended up in such a place . . . ”

” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ”

” Didn’t I specifically tell you not to ask such questions before? ”

” No that’s not it . . . but you said it was quite fine at first . . . it’s natural for a bastard like me to live this kind of life, but you’re pretty . . . and your personality doesn’t really match this kind of work I think . . . ”

” I told you before. How hard it is to live in the city with debt. I can’t even go out to hunt. Losing money here and there, I had no choice but to enter here to survive. Although I do have plans to slowly prepare and resign here. ”

” Really? ”

” Yup. If I try . . . I could probably get out I think. Well, if nothing else, I’ll flee. Anyways, hey. Embrace me. ”

” Alright, come over here child. ”

” Want to die? Who are you calling a child? ”

” Hehe . . . it’s warm. ”

” Yeah. It is warm. ”

” Hey . . . ”

” Yeah? ”

” No, it’s nothing . . . ”

” How boring . . . ”

” Choi Seulgi . . . . ”

I really couldn’t help but doubt my own eyes. I infused magic into my eyes just to confirm. It was definitely Choi Seulgi. Compared to her old self, her face was quite young-looking. It was a very young appearance. Although it was obvious, but her face was extremely bright and energetic compared to her past self I met after three years in the continent. It seems this was ‘ before ‘ she personally experienced hardships.

I thought that I did well to stop hunting and just walk around the vicinity. Though I haven’t discovered my revenge target, Shin Duk-ho yet, but I was extremely elated to have found Choi Seulgi. I fixedly began to stare at Choi Seulgi. I had to imbue the magic in my eyes to the limit to barely confirm her face from this distance. But, despite that, I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

It seemed that she was preparing to leave for an adventure with four men. Although I couldn’t properly pinpoint their location, I could definitely see one of them pointing north.

‘ Land of the Undead. ‘

There was no mistake they were heading to the Land of the Undead. It was certain they were leaving for a hunt. As if I was staring at them too blatantly, Mev began to speak.

” Captain. A hunt? ”

” No. Kereeeuk. I have a personal request, Mev. That girl, I want you to trail her from now on. It’ll be hard to pursue with too many, so send a few back to the Green Goblin Clan. ”

” Another human woman?! ”

Mev’s voice was full of complaint, but I had no time to spare on her. Strangely, Mev’s voice also sounded a bit happy, and in the end, my head became very complicated. If those men were possibly a fixed party with Choi Seulgi, attacking them would be extremely ambiguous.

If I could, I would kill them all and bring Choi Seulgi over, but there was no reason why she would trust us.

She’ll probably remember me as a ruthless orc that killed all of her comrades, causing her be overly cautious with me forever. Since she had no clue the kind of person Kim Taesung was, it would be rather more realistic for her to attack me in revenge. I engraved the faces of the others in my mind,as I began to slowly observe each one.

They all looked familiar . . . but I couldn’t remember that well. But, my attention suddenly became fixated on one guy.

‘ Park Youngwhan ‘

If my memories weren’t wrong, it was definitely that Park Youngwhan. I could definitely remember that guy’s face.

‘ Human Trash Bastard ‘

A guy that captures respectable freshmen, and sells them all to the Red Cross Clan to the brothels.

‘ Fuck . . . Fuck this fucking bastard . . . ‘

I had finally realized why Choi Seulgi was in that place now. Of course I never knew since she never spoke about it once, but it was definitely because she was worried about me.

‘ Fucking bastards, they deserve to be beaten to death . . . ‘

she probably never spoke of this to me since I might have gone ahead to do something reckless in the Red Cross Clan. She wouldn’t have known if I had the courage to do so or not, but she was clearly worried for me at the time. Since it wasn’t once or twice I had showed off in front of the girl that I had liked.

When she had heard that guy was executed, she was strangely rejoicing, so I had thought that she might have been one of his victims, but I had never imagined it to be actually true.

Naturally, I began to tightly bite my lips. I was boiling with rage, and felt like screaming this instant. No, I wanted to immediately rush forward, make a red river, and bring her back. Mev and Jung Hayeon were extremely taken aback.

It wasn’t the same fighting spirit that emanated when I was staring at the Queen of the North. But it was a murderous bloodlust. It was a murderous intent, solely focused on wanting to kill. So much so that the clan members briefly trembled from it.

” Is . . . is something wrong? ”

I roughly replied to her worried expression.

” No. It’s nothing. Anyhow, we’re pursuing those guys. The objective is the four men. And the other humans that enter the Land of the Undead. The hunt will end with that. ”

” Can I kill the female? ”

That natural question came out of Jung Hayeon who had killed everyone, man or woman, without hesitation. But, after she spoke, before I knew it, I had tightly grabbed onto Jung Hayeon’s throat.

Normally, I wouldn’t have cared if it was any other instance. But that murderous intent in Jung Hayeon’s eyes were enough to agitate me. It was because I could recollect the death of Choi Seulgi. Instantaneously, my eyes became bloodshot.

” WHAT? ”

” Kuk . . . . . I’m . . . . . . . . . so . . . . . rry. ”

My actions were shocking, even for me. I was extremely agitated. Seeing Jung Hayeon’s face whose eyes were brimming with tears, I slowly let go of her throat and spoke.

” Sorry. I think I was a bit agitated . . . ”

” Kuk . . . . kuk . . . Ah . . . no. It’s fine. I . . . I was a bit careless right? I’m . . . I’m sorry. ”

Seeing her reply like that with a smile, I was even more apologetic, so I stroked her hair, which brought forth a smiling Jung Hayeon. Mev was also surprised by my action, but she did not give much attention to it. Even though they were on the same side, it seems that Jung Hayeon’s position, being between Green Skins and humans, was quite ambiguous.

Anyhow, I began to continuously stare at Choi Seulgi. Though they did ponder a bit, they were now heading up north.

After relocating a few of our members back to the Green Goblin tribe, we departed.

The destination was the Land of the Undead.

If Park Youngwhan had truly selected Choi Seulgi as his work, he would act furtively. He would definitely drag Choi Seulgi to a place where no one was around.

I couldn’t help having such thoughts.

My brain and chest was about to explode just from imagining it. I shook my head and cast my thoughts aside. I needed to remain cold, calm and collected. Not sure about battles, but in a hunt, it was perilous to be ‘ agitated ‘. I looked at those guys once again. The rest of the three were okay, but Park Youngwhan seemed to be the only useful one. In short. He was quite strong. They were definitely weaker than us, but for Choi Seulgi, it was clearly beyond her capabilities.

I won’t think about the aftermath.

‘ First, we need to rescue her. ‘

That was the greatest priority. What to do with her can come later after the rescue. Whether to let her live as a human or not. Or try to have her evolve like Jung Hayeon, I couldn’t quite come to a conclusion.

Although I had wanted to bring her around out of sheer greed, I had a great desire to continue a good lasting relationship with her like in my previous life.

As such, we commenced our movement. Despite this being a personal matter, for these guys to follow me, I was very grateful, but on the other hand, I also felt a bit of guilt.

These simplistic guys would probably fight chanting ‘ For Blood Dagger ‘, but in spite of all this, I found this situation to be a bit uncomfortable. After this battle, I decided that I would treat them better.

” Ah . . . it’s the Land of the Undead. I don’t like it. ”

It seemed that the Green Skins physiologically disliked the undead. Even Mev’s expression had somewhat soured as we advanced into the Land of the Undead.

At this point, we decided to advance slowly. We had sent all of our warriors and swordsmen back to the Green Goblin Clan, so the rest were all assassins. But, that was sufficient. We began to quietly kill of the humans in our sight.

The ‘ achievements ‘ that we learnt from the Green Goblin Clan were being revealed. The guys were quietly moving in the dark, and then piercing their targets’ necks from behind while covering their mouths. They would die without having the time to scream, attack, or counter.

Park Youngwhan definitely wasn’t aware the Blood Dagger Clan was approaching them. Their speed was slow. They too were clearing away the undead in their path, worried that Choi Seulgi might become frightened. It was a situation where I found my hands shaking.

‘ Fuck . . ‘

I continued to swear internally.

In the end.

They had arrived at their destination.

I saw a man I could not I identify approach Choi Seulgi with a sword. Subconsciously, I began gnashing. I was abruptly filled with rage and my eyes reddened. I had somewhat forgotten that I was in hiding. Without knowing it, I was staring at those guys with reddened eyes holding up my large greatsword. I raised my hand to the Clan Assassins. A silent signal saying not to participate in this battle. They nodded and stared at me.

” Kereeeeeuk . ”

It wouldn’t be long before the rage I was containing burst out. ‘I will rush and kill them all.’ My actions preceded my thoughts as I found myself rushing towards them with murderous intent.

” KWAAAAAAAAA ! ! ”

” Fuck . . . things are messed up . . . . Prepare for battle. ”

P.S. How come Mev isn’t a Named Monster when Hayeon is?! Is it because she’s an archer that fights in the shadows?
