nKill The Hero – Chapter 267 – Return (2)

nTranslator: Seven

n“Kim Woo-jin, why did you betray me?”

nKim Woo-jin who was bound to the chair didn’t answer when the soft voice echoed in the tent.

nInstead, he pleaded.

n“I have never betrayed you.”

nIsaac Ivanov didn’t respond to his plea.

nInstead, he asked another question.

n“Can you bet your life on those words?”

n

n

n“Huh?”

nKim Woo-jin was surprised.

nIsaac Ivanov gestured with his chin to a Skeleton Soldier standing in a corner of the tent.

nRattle!

nThen, the Skeleton Soldier flashed Achilles’ Sword in its hand.

n“You say you didn’t betray me. I’d be happy to believe you if you took your life to prove yourself.”

nKim Woo-jin clenched his jaws at those words.

nHis eyes shook.

nHow long had it been?

n“If my death is what you need to prove it, then I’ll gladly do so.”

nAs if it had been waiting for Kim Woo-jin to say those words, the Skeleton Soldier cut the rope that bound Kim Woo-jin to the chair.

nThis should not have been an easy task.

nThe rope used to bind players was naturally special, yet the skeleton’s sword cut through it like it was a string.

nKiik, Kiik!

nThe rope, which was extremely durable, began to snap one after the other, setting Kim Woo-jin free.

nRattle!

nThe Skeleton Soldier then retreated back to its position.

nRattle!

nAnd as it stepped back, it threw Achilles’ Sword, which it had been holding, to Kim Woo-jin’s feet.

nNaturally, everyone’s attention became focused on Kim Woo-jin, who had been set free, and the sword at his feet.

nSsk!

nWith a dragging sound, Kim Woo-jin picked up the sword.

nPuk!

nThen he stabbed it into his own stomach.

n“Mm!”

nKim Woo-jin’s face contorted as he felt the pain of the blade piercing into his belly, and a fishy smell filled the room as his blood began to drip down to his feet.

nA puddle of blood appeared on the floor in an instant.

n“Isaac.”

nKim Woo-jin, who was bleeding heavily, called out Isaac Ivanov’s name, and Isaac Ivanov raised his head to look at Kim Woo-jin.

nThe two looked into each other’s eyes.

nThat was why no one noticed.

nThat the blood beneath Kim Woo-jin’s feet had suddenly come to life.

nTuk!

nThe blood he shed had become a Blood Golem which immediately tried to destroy the camera they were filming with.

n“Isaac!”

nAs Isaac Ivanov turned around to see what was happening, Kim Woo-jin shouted his name once again as he rushed towards him.

nHe brandished Achilles’ Sword, which had been stabbed into his stomach, towards Isaac Ivanov.

n…

n-Isaac!

nIt was at that moment.

nWhen Kim Woo-jin shouted Isaac Ivanov’s name, the camera suddenly lost its balance and fell to the floor, and all that could be heard through the live broadcast was the sound of static and a faint rumbling.

n-What was that? What’s happening?

n-Fuck, what’s going on?

nAs a result, the chat which had fallen silent because of the unexpected situation became lively once again.

nBecause the live broadcast showed no signs of being fixed, the people naturally began to talk to each other.

n-Kim Woo-jin was a traitor?

n-Kim Woo-jin just attacked Isaac Ivanov, didn’t he?

n-Isn’t this too much like a movie? Is this really a live broadcast? Are we sure they’re not filming a movie?

n-What the ** is going on?

nOf course, it wasn’t really a conversation.

nEveryone just spat out what they thought without stopping.

nEven Oh Se-chan’s office was the same.

n“Hey, what the hell’s going on?”

n“Kim Woo-jin attacked Isaac Ivanov?”

nFurthermore, the confusion they felt was more pronounced because they knew the truth about Isaac Ivanov and Kim Woo-jin’s identities.

nOnly one person seemed satisfied with this situation as he had a soft smile on his lips, Oh Se-chan.

nWhen the world was once again descending into chaos because of the unknown situation, Isaac Ivanov once again appeared before the camera.

nWithout wasting any time, Isaac Ivanov spoke briefly.

n-From this moment on, the Saviour Guild is hereby disbanded. (TL: Poor Master Park Yong-wan)

nIt was a short but utterly shocking statement.

nBut what came next was even more shocking

n-And I would like to formally request to join the Messiah Guild.

nIsaac Ivanov requested to join the Messiah Guild.

n…

nIsaac Ivanov’s return was something no one could have expected.

nThen the betrayal of Isaac Ivanov’s closest aide, Kim Woo-jin was revealed, and the broadcast was suddenly ended.

n-From this moment on, the Saviour Guild is hereby disbanded.

nAnd when the disbandment of the Saviour Guild was announced after the chaos, the situation reached an indescribable state, and it honestly became impossible for anyone to properly judge what exactly was going on.

nIt was the moment when the world’s thought circuits had basically exploded.

nTo put it into computer terms, the computer had been shut down.

nThen, as the computer began to reboot once again, Isaac Ivanov said.

n-And I would like to formally request to join the Messiah Guild.

nHe revealed information that was even more shocking.

n-What did he say?

n-Isaac Ivanov requested to join the Messiah Guild? Formally?

n-Wait! Doesn’t that Mean Isaac Ivanov would become a member of the Messiah Guild?

nOn the other hand, it was news that everyone in the world thought they would only be able to see in their dreams.

nThis was natural.

nPeople around the world watched the competitions between the Messiah Guild and Saviour Guild and cheered for either side, but the thing they wanted to see the most, was for these two Guilds to merge.

nLee Se-jun and Isaac Ivanov, these two saviours, united to save the world.

nAnd now the wishes of countless people in the world had actually come true at this moment.

nOf course, the Messiah Guild still had to give an answer, but no one really paid much attention to that part.

n“It’s a wonderful story.”

nOh Se-chan clapped lightly at this fact.

n“Two heroes competing to save the world, one of them is betrayed and decides to join the other… how about it? Doesn’t that sound good enough to make a Hollywood movie?”

nAt those words, Oh Se-chan’s subordinates could only stare at him with their mouths open, speechless.

nThey had prepared to face some kind of unexpected scenario.

nBut who would have imagined something so extraordinary?

nOh Se-chan smiled slightly when he saw his subordinates’ reactions.

nWoowoong!

nThen the old, worn out feature phone in Oh Se-chan’s pocket began vibrating, and he couldn’t help but smile wider.

n“Now I get to talk to the lead actor.”

n…

n-Were your acting skills always this good?

nAt Oh Se-chan’s words, Kim Woo-jin looked at the blazing flames surrounding the burning tent in front of him and said.

n“What about the others?”

n-We’re monitoring them in real time, but there hasn’t been any movement yet. Well, it’s obvious how things will turn out anyway.

nThe earthquake-like situation caused by Isaac Ivanov had shaken the world.

nAnd of course, the tsunami was coming next.

n-Park Yong-wan will be the most hurried.

n“I suppose so.”

nAmong them, the one whose situation was most urgent was Park Yong-wan, who’d colluded with Kim Woo-jin to get rid of Isaac Ivanov.

n-In a situation where Isaac Ivanov was thought to be dead, it was none other than Park Yong-wan who had the most to gain.

nThat was always the case.

nWhenever a crime like murder occured, the people who had the most to gain from the victim’s death were always the first suspects.

nSo from that perspective, it was natural for Park Yong-wan to be the most suspicious one in this situation.

nSince Isaac Ivanov was trapped in the dungeon, all of the authority of the giant guild, which could threaten even the Messiah Guild, had been entrusted to Park Yong-wan.

n-Him, Shakira and Johann Georg will definitely meet to discuss countermeasures.

nShakira and Johann Georg, who had also been a part of the plan, would also meet to discuss what they should do.

n-Kim Woo-jin was caught, so there is no guarantee that they couldn’t also get caught.

nWith Kim Woo-jin being punished as a traitor, they had no choice but to keep the worst case situation of them suffering the same fate in mind.

n-Well, the conclusion that they’ll reach is also obvious.

nBut the options that they could take were obvious.

n“They have no choice but to dismantle the Saviour Guild first.”

n-That’s right.

nIsaac Ivanov had already announced the dissolution of the Saviour Guild.

nIn such a situation, what would happen if they defied such an order?

nIt would be the same as confessing that they were the ones who tried to kill Isaac Ivanov.

nAfter all, since Isaac Ivanov had returned, he once again became the master and owner of the Saviour Guild.

nPark Yong-wan, Shakira and Johann Georg had finally managed to reach a peak that they could only look at before.

nNevertheless, it was not a good thing to stand in Isaac Ivanov’s way just to protect this crown.

n“After that, they’ll contact the Messiah Guild.”

nSo, following Isaac Ivanov’s words, they would also contact the Messiah Guild.

nSince Isaac Ivanov himself had requested to join the Messiah Guild, this was the natural choice.

n-They will surrender themselves without asking for any conditions.

nOf course, there would be no such thing as a deal during the process.

nThey would surrender just so they could save their lives.

n-However, the Messiah Guild will just look at their proposals.

nHowever, the Messiah Guild would never give them an easy answer.

n-No, they’re even going to hold off answering Isaac Ivanov’s question as much as they could.

nFurthermore, the Messiah Guild would delay responding to Isaac Ivanov’s request to join their guild.

nThey had to do that.

n“Because they don’t have a choice.”

nFrom the Messiah Guild’s perspective, their answer was already set in stone.

n-Right, there’s no way they can deny Isaac Ivanov’s request to join their guild. Lee Se-jun, who has now become the only saviour, could never do that. No matter what.

nAbove all, Isaac Ivanov’s request to join the Messiah Guild was the same as declaring to the world that he recognized Lee Se-jun as the only saviour.

nThe Messiah Guild was right!

nLee Se-jun was the saviour who would save the world!

nIn such a situation, the Messiah Guild would have no choice but to play the role of the perfect saviour better than ever before.

n-That’s why they’ll make more mistakes.

nThat’s why they had to worry even more.

n-They had to prepare in the shortest time possible. Prepare to kill Isaac Ivanov.

nAfter all, they had to prepare to kill Isaac Ivanov.

n-The best of the best around the world, the real members of the Messiah Guild would have to be called out.

nOf course, the members would be all those who pretended to be saviours to deceive the world, those who knew the truth about the Messiah Guild.

nIt was a great opportunity to dig it up from the roots.

nThat was why Kim Woo-jin had prepared and acted for so long.

nThere were countless great players gathered under the name Lee Se-jun.

nSo there was only one thing left.

n-So are you confident?

nWhether he was truly capable of hunting those who pretended to be saviours in order to devour the world.

nKim Woo-jin answered this question.

n“I’m confident.”

n-Good, then I’ll move as planned.

nThe call ended after that, and Kim Woo-jin destroyed the feature phone in his hand before placing it in a plastic bag.

nLee Jin-ah, who had been listening carefully to their conversation, then said.

n“Why did you put it in a plastic bag? Wouldn’t it be better to just throw it in the fire over there?”

nIt didn’t make sense to wrap it up separately when there was a fire that could burn the evidence.

n“Because this isn’t a movie.”

nHowever, that was only seen in movies.

nUnless the fire was hellfire, which would disintegrate the phone completely, the fire would only melt the feature phone, leaving the possibility for evidence to be found.

nLee Jin-ah laughed at Kim Woo-jin’s answer.

n“Didn’t you just film a movie?”

nAfter saying that, Lee Jin-ah pretended to stab himself in the stomach.

n“I will commit suicide to prove myself!”

nAfter that, he pretended to pull out the sword and shouted.

n“Isaac!”

nAnd he acted the same way Kim Woo-jin had.

n“Kuh, it was amazing.”

nLee Jin-ah smiled teasingly at Kim Woo-jin.

n“You will definitely receive an Oscar at the end of the year. Best Actor Award for Isaac Ivanov, and Best Supporting Actor for Kim Woo-jin.”

nThen, as though he just remembered something, Lee Jin-ah said.

n“Wait, but what about Balmung?”

nBalmung was the weapon Kim Woo-jin had borrowed from the Dragon Slayer to kill Isaac Ivanov.

nBut now, Kim Woo-jin had failed his task, and had even died.

nSo what would happen to Balmung?

nKim Woo-jin answered calmly.

n“That’s the Dragon Slayer’s problem.”

nTo this, Lee Jin-ah said.

n“And the Dragon Slayer will receive the Pushover Award.”

nKim Woo-jin simply turned his back to Lee Jin-ah, who could only click his tongue.

nIt was clear that he was ready to leave, so Lee Jin-ah followed him while saying.

n“What’s the plan for the future?”

n

n

n“The plan from now on is simple. Join the Messiah Guild and enter a dungeon with Lee Se-jun.”

nLee Jin-ah couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

n“But isn’t that too dangerous? If they have the time to prepare, regardless of if you say…”

nIt wasn’t a good thing to give your enemy too much time to prepare for battle.

n“That’s right.”

nKim Woo-jin also knew this.

n“Therefore we have to shake them a little so that they won’t be able to prepare fully.”

nKim Woo-jin truly began planning to put his sword in Lee Se-jun’s chest.
