Chapter 361: Not the Crow! (1)

Chapter 361: Not the Crow! (1)

Translator: miraclerifle

Honestly, the Crow's tomb was the end of all things but also the start of all things.

It was the place he went into under Chairman Kwon's orders and lost his cherished teammates and his own life.

But the thing that Ju-Heon hated more than dying was the fact that he had lost all hope in here.

His hope of a future with everybody on his team... His hope for happiness for the people he had developed such strong friendship with...

The hope that the path he had taken until then was not wrong...

That bastard had appeared when all of these hopes had shattered.

[It truly would be a waste for you to die like this.]

He had come across numerous artifacts but even he couldn't tell the identity of this bastard. But it was an artifact that would have taken anybody's mind away.

The Crown of the Majesty's Treasures.

That bastard had said the following through that blinding light.

[I will give you a chance. Try to take a Monarch position for real.]

He had returned to the past with that light. Now he was back here not just as a Monarch but to become the King of the Artifacts!

“Alright, I'm here!”

Bang!

The inside of the Great Prison was in uproar as Ju-Heon entered again.

[He’s here! That bastard is here!]

[Fuck, I knew he would be back!]

[Give it everything we got! We cannot let that bastard leave alive this time!]

The guards had flames shooting out of their eyes.

[Seo Ju-Heon, it’s Seo Ju-Heon!]

[Let us oooooout!]

The criminals were desperately reaching out toward him.

This was just the second time that Ju-Heon had entered the Great Prison. But he had swept up all of the Greek artifacts the first time he was here. It was no wonder that the guards and prisoners were all causing a ruckus.

[Seo Ju-Heon, hurry up and let us out tooooooooo!]

[Hurry!]

The guards shouted at them after hearing the prisoners shout.

[You idiots! Are you out of your fucking minds?!]

[Do you not know what happened to the Greek bastards?!]

[That's right! You'll end up as slaves if you're dragged out by that bastard!]

The prisoners were foaming with blood in their mouths.

[Get lost! I’d rather be dragged out by that bastard and be free than to be stuck in here!]

[That’s right!]

One of the prisoners said something at that moment.

[Rumors say that all of those Greek bastards lost their you know what's......]

[.......]

[Well, I guess you really would be ‘free’ in some aspects...]

The prisoners reaching out slowly pulled their arms back in.

[...Y, you don’t need to save me.]

[H, hurry up and just go get the Crow.]

Ju-Heon’s eyes flashed.

“No thanks. I'm going to sweep up all of the Special Grade down to Grade-3 artifacts.”

The prisoners started to run for their lives.

They would rather be stuck in this prison than to be dragged out by this bastard and lose their you know what.

Ju-Heon reached his hand into the cell at that moment. The artifact that was grabbed by Ju-Heon started screaming.

[I don’t have any! I don't! Don’t aim for my thing!]

“I'm not interested in your balls. Where the hell is the Crow?”

The rope came out and roared as Ju-Heon threatened the artifacts. The prisoners shouted while foaming at the mouth.

[That bastard Odin should know where the Crow is!]

“Odin?”

[The Crow bastard is in a special location! It's not somewhere you can just walk right in!]

Odin was the king of the gods in the Norse mythologies, but he was also famous for being a talented sorcerer. That was why they were saying that that bastard would know.

Another artifact chimed in at that moment.

[You might be able to make it to the Crow if you ride the teleportation fog properly...]

Ju-Heon then let the prisoner go without any hesitation...

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! Save me!]

Nevermind, he blew it up and dragged it out.

“Grade-2 artifact, received.”

Ju-Heon laughed and stuffed the pieces into a bag. The rest of the prisoners all shook in fear.

[T, this bastard is the devil.]

[He’s the devil!]

Ju-Heon just mumbled to himself without caring.

"The teleportation fog... That bastard Jaeha said he used that to get to Odin as well. Where did he say it was?”

Even more flames were shooting out of the guards’ eyes as Ju-Heon walked toward them. Ju-Heon seemed to have been hiding the last time he was here but he showed no signs of doing that this time.

Maybe he felt that there was no need to hide.

Ju-Heon then put on Chi You’s mask. The guards gasped after seeing the face of the ghost.

[Hurry! That is a signal that the Majesty is about to attack!]

They gasped as if they were caught by the ghosts of the past.

[Use everything you have to block him this time!]

[Go escort those esteemed beings over!]

The guards were contacting the high-grade guards for help.

The high-grade guards were animals even the Supreme Leaders could not tame. They were also the monstrous bastards that killed Ju-Heon and his subordinates without them being able to do anything in the past.

[That bastard must be here for the Crow!]

[Seal all paths to the Crow!]

Ju-Heon laughed after hearing their shouts. His body then scattered into the black fog.

Shhhhhhh!

The scattered fog turned into a strong gust of wind and moved past the guards.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!]

The guards touched by the fog all coughed up blood after being ruthlessly chopped up.

It had all happened in an instant. Ju-Heon easily killed the guards and headed toward his destination.

The eyes of the remaining guards opened wide.

[Damn it! Hurry!]

[We must stop him from getting the Crow!]

Unfortunately, the black fog was already gone.

While that was going on...

“Fuck, why do I have to do this shit here too...?! Damn it!”

There was a kid at the corner of a library complaining while restoring an artifact.

This kid was actually Louie Martin.

Well, he was actually Jaeha’s Un-known. He was originally in the US but he was a prisoner to the Monarch of Evangelism right now.

‘Fuck!’

Louie truly felt wronged. He knew that something was off from the moment that that bastard Seo Ju-Heon sent Zhen Cai Yuan to Hitler, but......

‘Yes. You guys are in the way. Get lost.’

Babababang!

Zhen Cai Yuan suddenly appeared and destroyed the US artifact base!

‘I need to go on a date. Hurry up and get lost.’

Babababang!

She then destroyed the factions trying to revive Hitler.

Zhen Cai Yuan, who said that she was here to get a date, destroyed the second rise of the TSOF and even met the zombie Keira that Hitler had summoned from a different dimension. Zhen Cai Yuan had smiled as if she remembered Keira.

‘Oh my, look who it is. It’s my fellow Four Emperor from the past. So nice to see you.’

Keira had been one of the Four Emperors with Zhen Cai Yuan in the past. They were bitter enemies as one represented the US while the other represented China. They hated each other so much that they would have started World War III if it had been up to them.

Well, they were all people who had been looted by Ju-Heon now.

‘Aww, poor little Ju-Heon. I guess it was difficult for my honey to fully kill her because he wasn’t a Monarch at the time.’

He would have just needed to chop her neck off but someone at the Four Emperors level would have been thoroughly covering her vital points.

Zhen Cai Yuan then took care of the remaining peons. That wasn't all. She basically pulled the roots out from Hitler’s faction that was trying to create a new Four Emperor to get revenge on Ju-Heon.

‘I might have been in danger if I popped up a little earlier.’

That was why Louie was angry.

Keira was his savior who had taken care of him when he had lost his memory, but...

“I lost the clues again!”

She was the only one who knew who he was and how he ended up here!

Anyway, he managed to escape without Zhen Cai Yuan knowing but he was unlucky and got captured by a different bastard. That person was the Monarch of Evangelism.

Louie threw the artifacts as he shouted in anger.

“Ack! This is all Seo Ju-Heon’s fault! Now I'm just a restoration shuttle for terrorist organizations!”

He didn’t know why but he hated Seo Ju-Heon so so much. His instincts were telling him that getting involved with that bastard would only screw him each time.

It was at that moment.

“Then should I tell you who you are?”

Louie quickly turned his head after hearing a woman’s voice. But all he saw was cat poop.

Louie wondered what was going on but the cat poop continued speaking.

“Before that, tell me whether you were alone when you opened your eyes.”

He didn’t know why he should say anything to cat poop, but...

“I don’t think I was alone.”

‘They all disappeared somewhere though.’

As for Chairman Kwon Tae Joon, TKBM's leader who had disappeared from the world after being betrayed by his little brother...

He was currently in pain.

“#$&$#!”

Ju-Heon had dragged him and imprisoned him somewhere.

This was actually the middle of the underworld. This was the world of the dead where Osiris was in charge.

Chairman Kwon was grinding his teeth in this sea of hell.

How could he not?

‘That shitty bastard couldn't even recognize his bastard...!’

Chairman Kwon could not forget what had happened when Ju-Heon dragged him here.

It was probably a few months ago.

“Ugh, uuuugh...!”

Chairman Kwon was dying after losing his immortality because Achilles's Armor was destroyed. Anybody other than Jaeha would die if their head and body were separated.

He started having difficulty breathing as soon as he lost his power of immortality. It was extremely scary to turn back into a regular person.

But there was something else that he really needed to be scared of.

It would not have been painful if he returned to being a normal person and died. Ju-Heon had smirked while picking up Chairman Kwon's head that Dan had found and brought over.

“Make it so that he barely stays alive. You can do it, right?”

“Yes sir. I sure can.”

Chloe had activated her surgery artifact.

[The miracle of the medical god that doesn’t let a patient die on his operating room table (SS-Grade:Divine-Grade - Consumable Artifact)]

Basically, this artifact would force the patient's body to stay alive until the surgery was over.

The medical field might consider this artifact to be a miraculous artifact.

This artifact was probably born from the stories of how doctors fear their patients dying while operating on them.

But it didn’t matter. Using this without any anesthesia was just a means of torture.

It was especially true for Chairman Kwon's case. Chairman Kwon had to stay with his head separated from his body on top of the operating table.

“Ugh, uuuugh...!”

Even though he was having trouble breathing... He could not die despite being in so much pain that he would rather die.

‘Just let me die like this!’

Ju-Heon had shrewdly taken out the Raven’s Tears while saying that there was no way he could die like this.

“It’s time to wake up, old man.”

He then activated the Raven’s Tears!

Chairman Kwon had to remember his past while being in a ton of pain.

Chairman Kwon cried the moment the memories of his past life became stuffed in his brain. His reaction was to be expected.

[Kill him now! That bastard is someone who would come after my position!]

[Good job, Monarch of Fraud. I was able to take care of them thanks to you.]

He had been able to have everything under the heavens after taking care of this bastard. He could have been the best in this life as well.

But Seo Ju-Heon, the bastard he had killed, came back to life and turned him into this mess!

He hated Seo Ju-Heon and he was scared of him. He never expected he would be this strong.

‘Damn it!’

However, the thing he feared more was this terrible situation. Did he have to remember the memories of his past life and be in pain without being able to die?!

Maybe it was because Ju-Heon knew about that fear, but... He viciously bared his teeth by Chairman Kwon’s ears.

“I will never let you die a peaceful death. Cry, be angry, and suffer while thinking about your past glory until I summon you again.”

“!”

Ju-Heon then laughed as if he was the devil.

He then left while leaving Chairman Kwon in the underworld. Chairman Kwon truly did cry in pain as Ju-Heon had said.

Time moved differently in this world so that Chairman Kwon had been feeling pain for multiple years already.

And now...

“Aaaaaaaah! I'm sor... ahhhhhh!”

I'm sorry. As he became so weak that he was willing to apologize and ask for a peaceful death...

An unexpected guest had appeared in front of him.

“How have you been, Chairman Kwon?”

It was the Monarch of Evangelism.

The Monarch of Evangelism had barged through the underworld to come here as Kwon Hyuk Soo had done in the past. The Monarch of Evangelism was planning on taking Chairman Kwon on this last excavation.

Why? Chairman Kwon was Seo Ju-Heon's number one victim.

‘This poor Chairman was completely bitten by the dog he raised in the past.’

“I will let you out of that pain.”

The Monarch of Evangelism then put his hand on the operating room artifact that was being used on Chairman Kwon.

‘I will destroy this artifact.’

He shouldn't have a problem putting Chairman Kwon's head back on the body after that!

“In the name of Allah...!”

While that was going on...

As Ju-Heon, who had turned into fog, was going deep into the tomb...

“!”

Ju-Heon flinched the moment the Monarch of Evangelism put his hand on the operating table.

‘Someone touched the old bastard.’

He had put a detection device on it just to be safe. Ju-Heon smiled after realizing that someone had infiltrated the underworld.

It wasn’t important who had done it.

‘How dare they mess with my joy.’

Other things might be fine but that old bastard was off limits.

He had been enjoying listening to Chairman Kwon scream for the past few months. Ju-Heon, who was going crazy with that thought, immediately activated Osiris.

The Monarch of Evangelism in the underworld became shocked.

Paat!

A bright light appeared and absorbed the operating table with Chairman Kwon.

“Chairman Kwon disappeared!”

The Monarch of Evangelism was anxious for a moment before quickly starting to track Chairman Kwon.

‘I must take that Chairman out of here.’

Ju-Heon, who had moved Chairman Kwon, smiled before continuing to walk.

‘That old bastard is my joy.’

After he had walked for a while...

“Oh, that must be it.”

He found the fog Jaeha had talked about and Ju-Heon instantly disappeared once he touched the fog.

He was in a completely different area once he opened his eyes.

“!”

And then...

[You’re finally here.]

A black bird was here.
