Another Black Wizard (1)

Darkness was falling over the Shinyongsan district.

A chilly temperature permeated the air, and a palpable magical energy radiated beyond the makeshift fence.

This confirmed my suspicions.

The individual named K, hired by the L Group, was one of my kind—a fellow black wizard.

However, this realization didn’t inspire camaraderie or a desire to join forces. I had made my choice. Since we met as enemies, it was my duty to eliminate him.

Upon my arrival, I was greeted by a group waiting near the entrance.

They were thugs affiliated with NK, whom I had previously dealt with. Director Ahn Seong-cheol greeted me with a tense expression.

“Welcome, President.”

“Tsk. Why did you bring these guys?”

“I was concerned about being outnumbered.”

“Just stay back. Don’t risk getting hurt for nothing. Things could get deadly once I get involved.”

“Understood.”

The organization members seemed relieved by my words.

The power I displayed when I stormed the NK Group was beyond human. From their perspective, I must have seemed like a monster, and fighting a similar monster would be suicidal.

They were armed with knives and baseball bats because they were ordered to be, but humans couldn’t possibly defeat the undead.

I had brought all 30 of my undead summons.

That was the limit I could control at the 3rd Circle stage, though I’d be able to summon more at the 4th Circle. The rest were guarding my house in case of an emergency.

“Hoo. So, there’s a monster inside.”

“K brought about 30 masked men, and the Yonggari faction… now Y Construction, brought about 20. We matched their numbers with 20 of our own.”

“I heard the national-level fighters are hospitalized with broken bones.”

“Strictly speaking, they were second-tier fighters… but we selected the most formidable ones.”

“If a brawl erupts, keep your distance. This is a warning.”

“Yes, President.”

Ahn Seong-cheol was exceptionally respectful.

Given that the Shinyongsan district was about to become a battlefield, it was too dangerous for the weak to get involved.

Staying back was the wisest choice to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Knowing I was about to face another black wizard, I decided to arm myself.

“Director, do you have a knife?”

“A knife?”

“I think I should have one.”

“I didn’t know you used a knife, President.”

“I’m probably better at it than you are.”

“Ah, yes.”

Ahn Seong-cheol produced two knives from his vest.

“Give me the vest, too.”

“Of course.”

He removed the leather vest he wore over his shirt, which had two knives sheathed in it, and handed it over.

I tightened the vest and stepped into the Shinyongsan district.

The streetlights on the utility poles were either broken or flickering. The dense magical energy in the air sent shivers down my spine.

Ordinary people felt it too.

Even without understanding the magical energy, they sensed the unusual atmosphere and instinctively shrank back as they followed me.

After a short walk, we reached a large, open space.

Judging by the scattered debris, old houses once stood here. This was where I would find K.

He stood there, wearing a black robe and a strange mask, a dagger in his hand.

Step by step.

K advanced.

Was he trying to talk?

I slowly approached him.

A chilling sound, like an evil spirit from a movie—a combination of scratching a chalkboard and distorted male and female voices—emanated from him.

“What is your relationship with the Master?”

“Master?”

“I’m referring to Alcaon.”

“If I had to say, I’d call myself a disciple.”

“Hmm…….”

High-frequency waves seemed to spread in all directions.

Those who couldn’t withstand the vibrations covered their ears and staggered.

“So, you’re a fellow disciple? Why not join me?”

“Am I crazy? Join you?”

“You’ll regret those words.”

“I think you’ll be the one regretting it.”

“Heehee. Hehehe. This will be fun.”

I wanted to rip his mouth off.

I couldn’t understand how such a sound could come from a human. [This could be a result of magical manipulation or a natural deformity.]

Every time he spoke, I got goosebumps. I didn’t know if the voice was magically altered or naturally like that, and I didn’t care.

We turned to face each other, like commanders preparing for battle.

I needed to test his abilities first.

Even if all my undead were destroyed, I could simply summon more, so I wasn’t too concerned.

“Go!”

Papat!

The undead charged forward.

The opposing side did the same.

The 30 undead collided.

Kang! Kagagagang!

Puh-uhk!

My undead, containing demons trained in martial arts and swordsmanship, enhanced with buffs like Dark Haste, Iron Skin, and Strong Up, fought with incredible speed.

Bbak! Bbak!

The undead exchanged attacks and defenses at a dizzying pace.

“This isn’t going to be easy.”

An enemy with power comparable to mine had appeared.

Kwang! Kwagwagwang!

Explosions erupted all around us.

Punches and punches, swords and swords, colliding and causing explosions?

Ahn Seong-cheol, Lee Dae-geun, and the gangsters were completely bewildered.

The speed of the attacks and defenses was incomprehensible, and the explosions were inexplicable.

When one thug tried to film the scene with his cell phone, Ahn Seong-cheol smacked him on the head.

Bbak!

“Keok!”

“You idiot! Don’t you know about the confidentiality agreement?”

“I’m sorry. The sight was just so shocking.”

Ahn Seong-cheol understood his reaction.

The exchange of attacks and defenses defied human capabilities.

Each combatant was worth a hundred men.

Even a single one of them could have destroyed the entire NK Group. Their power was unbelievable.

But the surprises didn’t end there.

Kkwadeuk!

“Heok! H-He’s dead!”

The head of one of our men rotated 180 degrees.

Such a rotation meant his spine was completely broken.

Kkwadeudeudeuk!

“This is insane!”

Some of the members were so shocked they sat down.

After his neck twisted, he nonchalantly turned it back and continued fighting.

The necks of the opponents also twisted.

If an arm was twisted, they put it back in place. If an ankle was twisted, they corrected it and kept fighting. Sometimes, arms and legs would fall off, and they would roll on the floor.

It was dark, so I couldn’t see if there was blood, but the shock was immense.

“These crazy humans!”

“Heok! Hyungnim! They’re reattaching their arms and legs!”

If a leg fell off, they crawled to retrieve it and reattach it.

The same went for arms.

The necks dangled, and sometimes waists were severed.

Here, a bizarre camaraderie was on display. Colleagues reattached severed waists and dangling heads.

However, if the head flew off completely, they stopped moving.

Thump.

Ahn Seong-cheol ended up sitting down.

When President Lee Yoo-sung pointed at a headless corpse, it got up, picked up its head, reattached it, and resumed fighting.

“Eueooh.”

This wasn’t a fight between humans.

It was a true battle of demons.

Trying to fight against those creatures was futile, even if they died trying. It was a relief that there were no fatalities among our group.

As the fight reached its climax, the leaders stepped forward.

President Lee Yoo-sung and K.

They leaped a staggering 5 meters and pointed their swords at each other.

Pabababak!

They drew their swords in mid-air in a flashy display and landed on the ground.

Kwaaaang!

A brilliant explosion occurred.

The sight of black energies exploding and intertwining was so intense that it was impossible to consider them human.

Seeing this, I realized President Lee Yoo-sung had been holding back significantly during our previous encounters.

“Monster… There’s no other word for it.”

Kwagwagwagwang!

The magical energy overflowed.

The swordsmanship I was using came to me automatically.

There was a swordsman from a Japanese samurai background, and I was wielding a knife, stealing and acquiring techniques from him in real time.

Like me, K was also using demons, displaying brilliant and powerful swordsmanship.

Thanks to that, an unreal fight was unfolding.

Kang! Kagagagang!

The hands moved at a dizzying pace.

The swordsmanship was so rapid it was impossible to follow, and I was instinctively blocking and gradually increasing the intensity.

Puh-puhk!

“Keok!”

“Kuh-euk!”

We were both hit by a counterattack and sent flying.

We weren’t stabbed by a sword, but our kicks were misaligned, and we kicked each other in the abdomen.

I lay on the floor for a moment, then jumped up.

‘That guy is at the 3rd Circle.’

He was a black wizard of a similar level to me.

He was slightly faster, and I was slightly stronger. I didn’t know why.

I thought I might die here.

But I couldn’t give up. I had to see it through since I started it. If I lost, I might have to live as a fugitive for the rest of my life.

I’d heard that most black wizards were insane, and if they harbored evil intentions towards my family, it would be a major problem.

I resumed fighting.

Another counterattack after a while.

My chest throbbed. The surroundings were a mess.

The undead, with their arms and legs torn off and their heads pulled off, were intertwined. It was only natural that people on both sides were shocked.

This wouldn’t work.

Did K also sense the danger to his life?

“Wait.”

“Why?”

“It would be good to have a temporary truce.”

“A truce? Does that make sense?”

“Two days from now. Let’s compete again in two days.”

“Two days…….”

He must have realized that this wasn’t working either.

He attacked with confidence, but it was ineffective, and the same was true for me.

Neither of us expected to have such similar skills.

Ultimately, it meant we needed to find a way to get stronger within two days. Taking more damage here would inevitably have a significant impact on my business.

That couldn’t happen.

“I accept the offer.”
