The Three Kings’ Disciple

Volume 14, Chapter 9

334

A break came to the Eunha conference room, a time to gather information and organize thoughts on the enormous matter at hand.

Some gathered to share opinions.

Others were alone, deep in thought.

However, Lee Ro-woon was guarding the conference room.

Swoosh.

Behind him, a small space rippled, and someone appeared.

A shadow slowly approached.

Whether Lee Ro-woon knew it or not, he simply rested his chin on his hand, remaining still.

And finally, the shadow reached Lee Ro-woon’s side.

“How have you been?”

A voice flowed from the shadow.

“Is there anything to be well or not? Sit down.”

“So stiff.”

With those words, the shadow pulled out a chair next to Lee Ro-woon and sat down.

His identity was.

“Do you have some time?”

It was Lee Shin-woo.

Originally, he was the leader of the Azure Army, an independent group not part of Eunha.

Having been away for too long, problems had begun to arise within the Azure Army, and he had returned to his original position to resolve them.

Also.

-The relationship between the Azure Army and Eunha could be a burden.

Lee Shin-woo had taken the initiative to prevent the Azure Army from getting involved with Eunha.

-It’s just a relationship between you and me. It’s not a relationship between organizations. There’s no need to create unnecessary trouble.

After the Blood Cult’s declaration, Eunha was accepting small sects and quite a few large player guilds, and the presence of the Azure Army could be a poison.

Lee Shin-woo, who had been away, had come to Lee Ro-woon during the break in the conference.

“There’s something I want to ask.”

Lee Ro-woon’s brother, whom he hadn’t seen in a while, leaned back in his chair with a tired face and pushed up his glasses.

Then, he tilted his body and his eyes lit up.

“The Unknown.”

The name came from his mouth.

“It’s about them.”

The Unknown, who were the main topic of this meeting anyway.

It was about the players who had massacred the martial artists of Hainan and were able to fight against the Great Cloud Sword and the Great Sea Sword.

“Do you… know anything?”

Lee Shin-woo asked cautiously.

Swoosh.

Lee Ro-woon looked at Lee Shin-woo.

“It’s a known fact that even high-ranker players have difficulty fighting martial artists at the Profound Realm…”

Even though the Azure Army was more moderate than the Enemy Army, they were warriors fighting on the front lines.

They had already clashed with martial artists many times.

Naturally, they had experience and knowledge from clashing with martial artists who had reached the Profound Realm.

“It was the association that made it seem that way. In reality, while ranker-level players and Hwagyeong [a high level of martial arts mastery] players might be similar, there’s a significant difference starting from the Profound Realm.”

Lee Shin-woo continued.

“For those players to defeat a Profound Realm master…”

There had already been instances of players defeating the Profound Realm.

It was in the Enemy Army and the Azure Army.

“They need a special power.”

A special power.

“Like the power of a Mutant or an Intervener.”

He was talking about the power of hidden classes.

Mutants who transcend human limits and become monsters, and Interveners who gather or amplify the power of players.

They had already seen many instances of them using their powers to the extreme to defeat the Profound Realm.

“The Unknown…”

Lee Shin-woo said.

“They seem to be something different.”

* * *

In fact, the ones who should be most interested in the appearance of the Unknown were the resistance groups like the Azure Army, including Lee Shin-woo.

Players and martial artists.

They were fighting a long battle, and they were facing their limits with their own know-how to deal with martial artists.

A lack of power, and an insurmountable limit.

That was.

-Level 100.

Level 100 was the highest point a player could reach.

The Two-Hands, who were called the strongest in this world.

Among them, the one called Ten was a level 100 player.

A high-ranker among high-rankers, one who had reached the peak.

But along with that, they learned the fact that.

‘Players cannot grow beyond level 100.’

That was the limit.

A growth limit, a time when it was no longer possible to get stronger.

And as expected.

“The only one who can fight against the extreme of the Profound Realm with pure player power is Ten.”

It was known that he was the only one who could fight against a master who had reached the extreme of the Profound Realm.

“The power of a Mutant twists that level system, and while it amplifies power, growth is fixed.”

Kwon Cheol, only he could grow even though he had mutated.

The rest could temporarily exceed the growth limit, but they could no longer grow.

That meant.

-It’s no different from no longer being a player.

It meant that the word player became meaningless.

“And my Intervener power is similar. I’m a kind of buffer.”

Lee Shin-woo said.

“I temporarily link and amplify the cores of multiple players. But there’s a limit to that power too.”

It was possible to strengthen tens of thousands of people at the same time, but it was almost impossible to strengthen a specific being as much as a Mutant.

If possible, it was only possible for Lee Shin-woo himself to link with many players and use the temporarily surged power.

However, it wasn’t that he could use the power of ten thousand people by linking with ten thousand players.

“The limit that the system core can withstand is also 100. The power beyond that is a gamble that risks temporarily destroying the core.”

A power that required bearing a huge risk.

“But…”

Lee Shin-woo had quickly moved to gather information about the appearance of the Unknown.

He went to the scene and examined the residual power with his Intervener power.

“The Unknown are different.”

Lee Shin-woo said to the silent Lee Ro-woon.

“I can feel something special about them, but it’s not the power of a Mutant or an Intervener.”

“…….”

“In my opinion…”

The growth limit where a player can become the strongest.

“They seem to have a level that exceeds 100.”

The story of those who had broken through that.

Lee Shin-woo saw hope there.

That was why he had come to Lee Ro-woon, whom he trusted the most and who might have more information than himself.

“The Unknown, do you know anything about them?”

Urgency, impatience.

All those emotions were clearly visible on his face.

Lee Ro-woon.

“The Unknown are.”

He told him what he knew.

“They are Unlimiters.”

Unlimiters.

That is.

“Those without limits…”

Lee Shin-woo’s pupils were shaking violently.

* * *

The meeting resumed.

Lee Shin-woo, who had appeared at some point, had quietly disappeared, and the Eunha executives were expressing their opinions.

But they had a common opinion.

“The Unknown are beings that must be recruited.”

The Unknown, whose purpose and identity were still unknown.

The idea was that they should be brought into Eunha.

“It’s difficult to judge based on one incident, but in that they opposed Hainan, they are those who seek to oppose Eun.”

The moment they touched the Nine Great Sects, they would inevitably become enemies of the entire association.

“Also.”

Choi Doo-ho gathered the opinions of the players and spoke.

“Eunha currently has many martial artists, but the number of players is overwhelmingly larger.”

The special nature of Eunha.

Eunha was a martial arts guild, but the alliance, the blood pact, was mostly made up of players.

In terms of power, Eunha would be overwhelming, but in terms of numbers, players would be overwhelming.

“The Unknown are at least high-ranker level experts. And they are unknown ones.”

All the information about ranker-level experts was registered and managed.

When a ranker was born, the world would be in an uproar and watch their birth.

Everything about them was revealed to the world.

Database.

No matter how much they looked at the characteristics of the Unknown, they did not seem to be one of the existing high-rankers.

“If we could find out how they obtained such power and how they were able to become stronger… we might be able to maximize the player power we have.”

Their eyes were gleaming.

But of course, there were also opposing opinions.

“They are beings we don’t even know who they are or what they are.”

The Unknown.

“If they oppose Eun, they may also oppose Eunha.”

Eunha could also be considered a force of Eun.

“The Unknown are poison. And if it spreads to the heart of Eunha, it may not kill Eunha, but it could paralyze it.”

“…….”

The ability to fight against the Great Cloud Sword and the Great Sea Sword individually.

If the number of such beings exceeded ten, it would certainly be a threat.

“I think it’s better to watch the situation slowly and make a decision. And if necessary, eliminate the Unknown…”

“But.”

There was a backlash.

“Eunha is currently in a critical situation.”

“…….”

A heavy atmosphere descended on the conference room.

“Hainan has invaded right up to our doorstep, and their numbers are increasing even more. Now that the poison has spread due to the Unknown…”

The huge name of Hainan was frightening.

“If they are a force that could be helpful to Eunha, it would be better to contact them quickly and have them participate in this war.”

“It could be a trick of the association.”

“If we just make contact…”

“What if it’s a trap?”

The opinions clashed more fiercely than expected.

At that moment.

Swoosh.

Lee Ro-woon’s hand went up.

It was a moment when everyone shut their mouths as if by a lie.

“What does the strategist think?”

Lee Ro-woon’s eyes were directed at Lee San-hoo.

And seeing Lee Ro-woon, everyone’s gaze turned to Lee San-hoo.

Even while the people in the conference room were clashing opinions, Lee San-hoo had not said a word yet.

“What do you think?”

Lee Ro-woon, with his languid eyes, simply looked at Lee San-hoo calmly.

At that, Lee San-hoo swallowed hard without realizing it.

But soon, he regained his composure.

“The Unknown are ultimately uncertain beings.”

Lee San-hoo’s voice echoed.

“It’s important to find out who they are, their identity and skills, and it’s also a way to recruit or eliminate them, but…”

He spoke everyone’s opinions, making them listen.

“They are ultimately uncertain beings. So, I think it’s right to first talk about how to overcome Hainan.”

“…….”

“……That’s right.”

They couldn’t find any words to refute the clear argument.

In fact, they were not fools, so they knew the fact.

It was just that the appearance of the Unknown, unexpected strong beings, was like a dragon in a fairy tale that had appeared in a peaceful world, and their reason had been shaken for a moment.

“Thank you.”

But with Lee San-hoo’s words, their excitement finally subsided.

The existence of the Unknown was worth making everyone urgent, but for now.

“Let’s focus on Hainan.”

It would be better to focus on Hainan itself.

“First…”

“Looking at Hainan’s invasion route…”

“Rather…”

The meeting began to resume in an organized atmosphere.

At that moment.

Swoosh.

Lee Ro-woon and Lee San-hoo made eye contact.

A brief moment of silence.

“I…”

But soon, Lee San-hoo was participating in the meeting as if nothing had happened.

* * *

Hainan’s forces finally approached Eunha’s territory.

The number was over 90,000.
