<h4>Chapter 149:</h4>


    ...


    Wow!


    A swarm of bees came down from the sky and coalesced into one on Suho''s palm.


    Queen bee Arsha.


    As soon as she revealed herself, she gently ced her hand on her chest and bowed her waist.


    [It''s been a while, Seong Su-ho. How have you been?]


    "It got a little smaller while I wasn''t looking."


    Arsha responded to Suho''s words with a bitter smile.


    [yes. My body has already left this vige.]


    Currently, Arsha was floating in front of Suho in a doll-like size.


    [This is my alter ego created by gathering scout bees that were left around.]


    "reconnaissance?"


    [Keeeeek! As expected, you were also part of the demon tribe!]


    As Suho''s eyebrows rose, Ber immediately grabbed Arsha''s waist with a strong hand and growled.


    Since Arsha was so small, the size of her Ber seemed veryrge inparison.


    Arsha, who was appalled by her ferocious spirit, responded urgently.


    [Oh, no. At one point, she decided to do that, but they didn''t agree so they broke up a little while ago.]


    "Breakup?"


    [yes. In the first ce, I had no intention of being hostile towards Seong Su-ho... ....]


    "What, you are Quresha''s people?!"


    Esil''s eyes widened at the sudden appearance of Arsha.


    However, the person who was most embarrassed here was Arsha herself.


    Arsha let out a small exmation as she looked at her Essil while being held by her Ver''s hand.


    [...] ...When I saw him from afar, I thought he was a real devil noble. It is an honor to meet the great demon noble like this.]


    "Hmm. Yes, it could be an honor."


    In response to Arsha''s polite greeting, the corner of her mouth twitched and she responded.


    She then cocked her nose and introduced herself haughtily.


    "I am Esil, the eldest daughter of the Ladir family. "Who are you?"


    [Ah, it was the Radir family. My name is Queen Bee Arsha.]


    "..."What are you guys doing now?"


    Next to me, Suho made a bewildered expression.


    Arsha felt dizzy at the sight of Suho and Esil looking close to each other.


    ''I never would have thought that there were demon nobles still alive.''


    What he meant was that there was a high probability that the devil in front of him would one day be a descendant of the Demon King.


    And such an amazing being is now apanion of Seongsuho, a descendant of the Fang Lord.


    No, moreover, how on earth did a descendant of the Fang Lord gain the power of a strong body...? ....


    ''I can''t even guess what''s going on with therge joint.''


    Besides, isn''t it borate?


    What on earth is this small outskirt vige that brings so many races together in one ce?


    And the fact that her strength was currently the weakest among the races gathered here frustrated Arsha more than anything else.


    ''As expected, this vige was a ce that did more harm than good.''


    Arsha said that she should never have set foot here in the first ce and that sheter regretted it.


    Anyway, in this situation, there was ultimately only one option given to her.


    To fall t.


    Even if the main body had already left this ce, it was urgent to avoid causing as much hatred as possible in case one encountered Suho again like today.


    [Seong Su-ho, I didn''t do anything here except scouting.]


    Arsha fervently maintained her innocence.


    She then began to open up honestly about her past experiences.


    [Since ''that day'', I have been wandering around looking for ces where Seong Su-ho is not as much as possible. But it turned out to be not as easy as I thought.]


    The problem started when Suho suddenly said he wanted to be a guild leader and was moving around to build up his dungeon experience.


    Whether it was coincidence or bad luck, wherever Arsha moved, Suho would visit the nearby dungeon.


    From the guardian''s perspective, it was just a matter of stopping by for a day, but Arsha had no choice but to leave the area in a hurry, even though it was ominous.


    Then Arsha couldn''t do anything, so she finally made up her mind.


    In this case, I would rather go to another country where Seong Su-ho is not present.


    However, the problem is that the Korean Penins is made up of sea on three sides.


    Bees couldn''t fly across the Pacific and Antic to another country.


    [...] ...However, if you try to hide in an airne, these days, airnes are under strict security to prevent viins from sneaking in.]


    Given the situation, there was ultimately only one option left to Arsha.


    North Korea.


    [I was just moving north to go to another country. Then, I happened to encounter Harmacan near here.]


    "Harmacan?"


    [yes. Harmacan, the war chief of the Demon Race, was nning to use the viins of Jisan Prison to increase his power, and offered me help with reconnaissance.]


    [Anyway, I guess it helped.]


    As Ber''s grip on her waist strengthened, Arsha hurriedly finished speaking.


    [At first, I thought it was a n to use viins who deserved to die, so I only helped them a little! If I had known it would get this big, I would never have helped.]


    Arsha was truly aggrieved.


    Didn''t he already encounter Suho while he was resolving the viin situation?


    However, I couldn''t help but think that if the viins caused another incident, Su-ho mighte to visit again.


    [The n that Harma Khan initially told me was to kill the viins in Jisan Prison and use them as material for his shaman camp.]


    Arsha, who judged that Su-ho would not care if the viins in the prison died, as long as the viins killed the citizens, readily epted the offer.


    What Harmacan wanted from her was to scout out the situation within her prison and the movements of the viins after they escaped.


    [If I just helped with the reconnaissance, she agreed to give me some viins to create new spear knights in return. But it turns out....]


    Arsha thought that the moment the viins escaped, Harmakan would kill them all.


    Then, the n was to keep some of them alive rather than kill them, and feed them royal jelly to transform them into the new queen bee''sncers.


    But the n went awry when the viins escaped all at once.


    [Harmacan especially likes souls tainted by evil.]


    Harmakan wanted to further defile the souls of viins to make his shamans more powerful.


    And it was an extremely simple thing.


    As Hwang Dong-seok, who leads them, is a viin with an extremely greedy personality, he does things on his own even with a little coaxing from his side.


    The moment the viins, led by Hwang Dong-seok, escaped from prison and arrived in a nearby vige, they liberated the freedom that had been suppressed for so long.


    And the sight was truly terrible.


    The moment when awakened people with superhuman abilities be free from thew.


    Because it was a living hell.


    [This vige is already heavily under Harmakan''s spell. And that spell further fueled the viins'' desires.]


    Suho, who was listening to Arsha''s words, suddenly turned to the side.


    Then, the viins who had not yet been killed but kept alive tried to avoid his gaze with servile expressions.


    The surprise of Arsha''s sudden appearance onlysted for a moment.


    As the story of what they had done so far flowed out of Arsha''s mouth, she felt that her life was in danger.


    Of course, they were not directly involved in the tragedy that urred in this vige, as they had not yet been killed by the sword of shadow assassin Kang Tae-Sik.


    But they also destroyed viges to their heart''s content, and the reason they didn''t kill people was just... ....


    This was because he had been confined to nearby restaurants and bars to eat the food and alcohol he could not eat in prison.


    Sigh.


    [Shall we kill them all?]


    The viins''plexions turned pale as they saw Kang Tae-Sik, the shadow assassin who noticed Su-ho''s gaze, raising his dagger as if he had been waiting.


    "No, wait."


    Suho raised his hand to stop Kang Tae-sik.


    "Don''t kill anyone from now on."


    [...] ...yes.]


    Kang Tae-sik lowered the dagger again without saying a word due to his firm will.


    However, the reason why Suho told him not to kill the viins was by no means because he felt sorry for them.


    "It seems that the more someone dies in this vige, the stronger the magic of the demon tribe bes."


    [you''re right. As expected, Seong Su-ho is truly an amazing person. You can see right through the core of Harmacan''s magic circle!]


    Arsha couldn''t help but be surprised by Suho''s words.


    The demon race''s evil magic, which treated souls like toys, was aplex magic that was difficult for other races to understand.


    Arsha also knew this because she heard it from Harmakan, but she couldn''t figure out anything just by looking at it vaguely.


    But it wasn''t difficult for Suho.


    This is because system messages that I had never seen before appeared above the corpses of the dead viins.


    [There is no soul, so extraction is impossible.]


    [There is no soul, so extraction is impossible.]


    [There is no soul, so extraction is impossible.]


    The missing soul probably fell into Harmacan''s hands.


    Arsha''s story is that Harmacan tried to kill the viins and use them as material for a sorcerer''s camp.


    Putting all these stories together, the answer was obvious.


    The more people who die here, the stronger Harmakan''s spell will be.


    [Seong Su-ho, if you trust me, I will show you the way to get out of this vige.]


    It was Arsha who quickly stepped forward and said she would tell Suho''s escape route.


    No matter how much of the magic of the Demon Spirit tribe was activated in this vige, Arsha was already the one who evacuated the main body from here.


    but.


    "no."


    Suho tly refused her help.


    It wasn''t that he didn''t trust her.


    "In times like these, we need to attack head-on."


    Suho looked ahead with his eyes shining.


    The Death Knights sent by Harmacan were already walking there.


    thud. thud. thud. thud.


    Hollow full body armor was walking towards me.


    Just looking at the ominous energy wafting inside was creepy.


    "W-what is that!"


    Theplexions of the viins who had surrendered to Su-ho turned pale due to the enormous force.


    but.


    Suho was the opposite.


    [Death Knight]


    [Death Knight]


    ....


    These guys even have name tags on their heads.


    The corners of Suho''s mouth couldn''t help but go up when he saw that.


    "It''s Harmakan..."He was surprisingly a good guy, right?"


    [What a remarkable guy.]


    Ber followed Suho and smiled sinisterly.


    Suddenly, Suho nced at Esil, and Esil noticed the gaze and immediately stepped back.


    She was not to be disturbed from now on.


    "..."You''re creating monsters from the souls of viins with little experience."


    Suho smiled meaningfully, raised his dual swords, and jumped forward with Gray.


    "Crunch!"


    Now, it was time to level up.


    Crumbling!


    That moment.


    The two huge hands of Harmacan sprouted from the ground, tore down the surrounding buildings, and struck the guardian.


    Wow!


    "What an amazing talent."


    Suho chose to attack head-on.
