Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 447

“What, why aren’t you moving and just standing….”

Jung Ji-yeol, who had bumped into the person in front of him, grumbled.

However.

“…….”

His words couldn’t be finished.

Gulp.

The sound of swallowing could be heard from here and there.

Saaa.

The atmosphere was heavy.

It wasn’t because of the great danger they had just experienced.

Zzzzt, zzzzt.

That silence continued even after the gate spat out everyone who had been in the tutorial and disappeared.

No one could move or even dare to open their mouths.

The scene before their eyes was….

“Wh, what….”

It was truly overwhelming.

There were over a dozen people in suits.

The Association’s emblem was emblazoned on their chests.

The one standing at the very front was….

“Th, the Association President…?”

It was Kim San-tae, the former head of the Seoul branch, who had recently been appointed as the new president of the Player Association.

The Association President’s seat was incredibly heavy.

Although Kim San-tae was less authoritarian and had a more approachable image than before, the position of Association President had always carried such an image.

Also, no matter how rapidly things were improving….

Gulp.

The Player Association President was ultimately considered to hold the power of life and death over the players, so his appearance was astonishing.

But if that was all, it wouldn’t have felt so silent and overwhelming.

Next to him.

Swish.

There were over a dozen people wearing red martial uniforms.

And the emblem on their chests was….

“U, Unha….”

The mark of Unha.

Unha had appeared with the Association President.

“Th, that person!”

Moreover, there was a noticeable face among those wearing martial uniforms.

“Black King!”

Ha Se-min, the Black Lion King.

In the past, when he was the king of the Black Lion, little was known about his name, face, and identity.

However, after the Black Lion was subjugated by Unha, Ha Se-min, who was active as an executive of Unha, had become the most well-known figure in Unha, along with the name Black King.

-Association President Kim San-tae.

Also.

-Black King Ha Se-min.

Just that alone was enough to make them feel breathless.

“Poisonous Heaven Dang Hwa-young!”

The appearance of Dang Hwa-young, the guild leader of Unha, and her executives could also be seen.

Gulp.

So, they couldn’t help but be surprised.

Most of them were novice players, as they were taking the tutorial.

It wasn’t strange that they were breathless just from seeing such big shots.

The Association employees were the same.

“…….”

No matter how much they worked for the Association, how many chances would they have to see the Association President in person?

Moreover, it was even more so to see the Association President with Unha like this.

“Wh, what’s going on?”

The fact that Unha and the Association President had moved meant something.

Looking at the steps Unha had taken so far, their movements were to punish someone or hunt down an enemy.

Then, did that mean that someone among them had incurred the wrath of Unha, enough to move such big shots?

Anxiety and unease.

It was when that was engulfing the players.

Thud.

Someone walked out from among the players.

“Wh, what are you doing?”

Jung Ji-yeol quickly stopped him and said.

“Did you do it?”

But the man ignored Jung Ji-yeol and spoke to one of the instructors.

“That’s….”

It was as expected.

The employee who had recognized him first.

“Instructor Kim Min-soo didn’t do it. From the start….”

At that moment, Kim San-tae’s voice was heard.

“We made it so that we could notice it.”

If they checked the identity that Kim San-tae had given, they would be contacted.

“It’s not surveillance. We just didn’t want to cause any inconvenience.”

It was a simple excuse.

And.

“Anyway, even if it wasn’t him, where would you go in this small land?”

The Black King’s voice.

Now everyone was certain.

‘Cr, crazy.’

That person. That person was the powerful enemy that Unha was targeting, and the very person who had called them here.

Just who was he?

“You…, just who….”

When Jung Ji-yeol, unable to hide his bewilderment, spoke to Lee Ro-woon.

Swish.

The Black King knelt down.

“……!”

Everyone was bewildered by his sudden action.

Even the Association President, Kim San-tae, who was standing next to him.

The Black King, bearing that great name and leading a massive force, had knelt down in front of everyone.

Swish.

It wasn’t just that.

Dang Hwa-young, the guild leader of Unha, and many other warriors of Unha knelt down.

“……!”

Everyone was so surprised that their jaws dropped.

They thought they had come to hunt Lee Ro-woon, but what was going on?

“We have come to serve the Blood Demon.”

The Blood Demon.

That was the name.

Thump!

It was as if a stone, no, a bomb had exploded in everyone’s hearts.

“N, no way….”

That the person who had completed the tutorial with them was the Blood Demon.

“You’re making quite a fuss.”

And the voice of the man who thought it was so natural.

Swish.

The Blood Demon, Lee Ro-woon, turned his head.

The tutorial players standing there were all trembling as they looked at Lee Ro-woon.

Even Jung Ji-yeol, who was always so confident.

The Blood Demon.

The hottest potato in the current sphere of influence of Eun [a powerful organization or country].

The one who was mentioned more than anyone else, and who had made the new guild called Unha the best guild in Korea in a short period of time.

Also, the one who had brought Hainam to its knees, devoured Jeomchang, and dismantled the Beggars’ Sect.

Even the Mount Hua Sect was wary of the Blood Demon and had locked their doors.

The Blood Demon now was….

Shudder.

He was the god of Asia.

How many lives could be swept away by his one word, and how the entire Republic of Korea could be turned upside down by his one word.

“Was it Jung Ji-yeol?”

Lee Ro-woon asked, looking at Jung Ji-yeol.

And.

Gulp.

Jung Ji-yeol’s Adam’s apple moved severely.

It was strange that he wasn’t out of breath right away.

“Y, yes, it is.”

Something flashed through Jung Ji-yeol’s mind.

-Why are you speaking informally?

The actions he had taken towards Lee Ro-woon throughout the tutorial.

If the Blood Demon took issue with it, he, as well as his family, relatives, and guild….

All of that would be swept away and disappear.

“Th, that’s….”

There was a rumor that the Blood Demon was Lee Ro-woon from the past Dank [a reference to a previous identity or role].

However, only a handful of people truly believed that rumor.

Most people thought that the Blood Demon was just a martial artist.

He was pro-player, and said to be for the liberation and rights of players, but most people thought….

-It’s just a bonus. The Blood Cult has always had a bad relationship with Eun. We benefited from them settling old scores.

The fear of martial artists that had not yet disappeared.

“I’m sorry….”

Just as Jung Ji-yeol was about to quickly bow his head.

“Do you have any thoughts of joining Unha?”

“……!”

Everyone’s eyes widened at the words that came out of Lee Ro-woon’s mouth.

“Huh? What did you just say….”

“Just like you were trying to scout me. I’m trying to scout you too.”

“…….”

It felt like a dream.

“If it’s Jung Ji-yeol.”

It seemed that even the name of a minor player like Jung Ji-yeol was in Ha Se-min’s mind.

“How about it? You said you dreamed of a guild like Unha.”

Jung Ji-yeol’s face turned bright red at Lee Ro-woon’s words.

“If you join Unha, wouldn’t you be able to achieve that dream?”

It was as if an electric current was flowing through Jung Ji-yeol’s head.

But in the next moment.

“No, thanks.”

Jung Ji-yeol said with a smile, just like he had during the tutorial.

Everyone froze.

The Blood Demon.

They didn’t know when he hadn’t revealed his identity, but now that he had.

“I told you.”

He was speaking so boldly to the Blood Demon.

‘That crazy human.’

They thought he had finally lost his mind.

“My dream is to raise a guild like Unha, that’s my dream. It’s not my dream to become a member of Unha.”

However.

“Is that so.”

Lee Ro-woon’s reaction was different from what they had expected.

A smile spread across his lips.

“Then I’ll watch.”

With those words, Lee Ro-woon turned around.

The warriors of Unha who had been kneeling stood up, and Dang Hwa-young approached and draped a jacket over Lee Ro-woon’s shoulders.

“Don’t make such a ruckus next time.”

Dang Hwa-young bowed her head at Lee Ro-woon’s words.

“We don’t know how many people are targeting the Blood Demon right now. This is also a kind of demonstration.”

Well, it wasn’t like Lee Ro-woon didn’t know that.

And Ha Se-min approached.

“If it’s Jung Ji-yeol, he’s a player with a pretty good reputation. If you’re interested….”

Ha Se-min was about to say that he would bring him to Unha by any means.

However.

“It’s okay.”

Lee Ro-woon refused.

“Or maybe help Jung Ji-yeol or his guild, Libam….”

There weren’t many things that Lee Ro-woon had shown this much interest in.

“No.”

Lee Ro-woon looked down at Ha Se-min.

“Don’t touch him.”

An absolute command.

“Understood.”

Ha Se-min bowed his head and quietly stepped back.

It had been a long time.

“It feels refreshing.”

He was someone who treated him like a person.

* * *

The reason why Unha had come to pick up Lee Ro-woon so loudly was because Lee Ro-woon had disappeared without a word.

It had been several years since Lee Ro-woon had slept.

No matter how much it was Lee Ro-woon, there was a limit to that.

Also, recent events had overlapped.

‘Did I lose my mind for a moment?’

In fact, Lee Ro-woon had only come to his senses after entering the tutorial.

Unha had moved because they were worried about Lee Ro-woon’s condition.

Also.

-There are actually forces targeting the Blood Demon.

The more Unha had an overwhelming position and the more Lee Ro-woon’s name spread, the more people targeted Lee Ro-woon.

The Mount Hua Sect, Eun’s assassins.

And others….

-I am sorry to report this.

There was also a group of players who thought that Lee Ro-woon was just another martial artist and that Unha’s oppression would exist.

As such, they had moved in preparation for any possible situation.

Of course, Lee Ro-woon wouldn’t be defeated by them.

However, this was also an opportunity to show off Unha’s power.

“Don’t be so loud next time.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“You’re just good at talking, even though you’ll repeat the same thing.”

Lee Ro-woon was walking.

And there was another reason why Unha had mobilized its forces to pick up Lee Ro-woon.

Whoooosh.

The Blood King’s Castle.

The energy there was ominous.

Kukukuku!

The air was sharp as if it would pierce, and the magic and energy were raging like crazy.

It seemed that those of lower levels only felt a slight discomfort.

“Ugh.”

Rather, those of higher levels were feeling this change intensely and enduring the pain.

This was it.

Thud.

The underground of the Blood King’s Castle, the passage that Lee Ro-woon had connected.

Zzzzzzt!

The barrier of the Blood King’s Castle was fluctuating like crazy.

“How long has it been?”

“It’s been about three hours.”

Lee Ro-woon nodded at Dang Hwa-young’s report.

“It couldn’t be helped.”

They must have been flustered.

The current change was so severe that it could even destroy the Blood King’s Castle.

“What about the followers?”

“They have been evacuated.”

Lee Ro-woon went down to the basement.

Zzzzzzt!

The deeper he went into the basement, the stronger the energy became, and it was even trying to push Lee Ro-woon away.

Crack!

The moment Lee Ro-woon clenched his fist, the air was crushed and torn apart.

“There’s nothing we can do….”

Ha Se-min said.

“We had no choice but to find the Blood Demon.”

That was the reason why they had moved, when they had just been watching the Blood Demon’s rest.

Stood.

Lee Ro-woon stopped there.

There.

Zzzzzzzzt!

There was something pouring out blue lightning.

It was the door of the Gaeshin Library where Lee Shin-woo had entered.

“What is going on?”
