Chapter 155: Riding Doul, Acceleration (4)
After a brief moment of situation assessment.
Yumir departed for Daejeon.
As the Platinum Sun, she immediately left to purify demons in Daejeon.
Can she just move directly like that?
While the specifics of instant teleportation werent discussed, it seemed that she was not limited to only places she had been before.
Then, probably by now, somewhere in Daejeon in a wide open space, she would be purifying a group of demons.
[Doul. Disengage fusion.]
With a burst,
I disengaged the fusion.
Ugh. This time, I really messed everything up.
Doul, who had been residing in my body, swiftly left me, and her hair, once tinged green, returned to its original white color.
Sorry. Its all because of me.
[Theres no need to apologize. Its that guy whos gone mad.]
Not just insane in the ordinary sense, but possessing strange and extraordinary abilities.
[You must have felt it, too, that hes no ordinary being. What do you think we should do?]
We need to find and eliminate such a being.
[Right. Like you sensed, Ive been thinking the same for some time. Initially, his sudden appearance was just a nuisance, but now, given how he has disgustingly involved humans, its only right to eliminate him.]
The justification was established.
Even deploying the resources of the Secret Society would be justified, and neither the heroes nor the government would directly interfere with the actions of the Secret Society or the Goblin.
Duoexini had become an even more dreadful terrorist than I ever was.
[Have we gathered any information on Duoexini yet?]
No, its still under investigation.
[Then the answer is clear.]
Huh?
[Sometimes, elimination is the key to the solution.]
I thought about the abilities Duoexini displayed.
One. Ultra-fast movement.
Two. Infinite regeneration, reviving even after being killed.
Three. The ability to escape through self-destruction.
And the fact that he continually operated in areas where the Secret Societys information network didnt reach.
Each ability alone was enough for an S-class rating, not to mention his other extraordinary powers.
Moreover, there was one more thing.
If someone is carrying multiple seeds of demons or demon fetuses to create demons, theres only one case like this.
Duoexini freely utilized matters related to demons.
Considering his movements, it was likely that the 72 ability users who became demons were forcibly turned by Duoexini and his subordinates.
Would even a lowly member or an executive have the liberty to use such a large number of demon fetuses?
[Doul. Does your arrival in Korea mean youll be staying here?]
Yeah! Its the chairmans directive. To support you from the side.
[Then, at least until Duoexini is dealt with, Ill need your help. Sorry for keeping you busy.]
Uh, no, its okay. My subordinates can handle the things below. After all, my usual task is just assassinating targets.
Douls unit was a kind of execution squad.
They eliminated those who posed a threat to the future of the Secret Society so Doul could support me without any burden.
For the Secret Society, it was now clear that Duoexini was a target for elimination.
[Then lets go to that place and wait. Ill finish up here and join you soon.]
I should go first?
[Its fine if the Goblin shows up, but if Doul appears too, the government might start keeping a close eye on us.]
Ah, got it. But.
Doul cautiously approached me and asked.
Will you tell me what Duoexini is once we arrive?
[Thats what I think.]
I whispered into her ear, and Douls eyes widened in surprise.
Then, does it mean its not Duoexini? Duoexini is?
[Concepts are up to peoples minds. Lets discuss the details later. Hell get too arrogant if we keep letting him run away like this. Lets deal with it in a way befitting the Secret Society.]
Hmm The Secret Society way.
Doul licked her lips and grinned mischievously.
Alright. Ill surely make up for this blunder next time. Just leave it to me. Ill set the stage
[Ill handle it myself.]
You will?
[Of course.]
I realized it then.
[Ill personally draw the picture. From the planning to the end. Everything.]
The moment Yoon Iseon was targeted, I was convinced that Duoexini was a being that must not be left alone.
[Since youve just arrived in Korea, Ill need your help, and we should also get support from Gonggi. If we do it right, we can inflict near-annihilation damage on Pandemonium.]
He arrogantly said he would take a month off.
[Thinking that we are just playing in his hands, we need to shatter his head. Make sure he cant resurrect again.]
This arrogance must be personally punished.
Hes messing around.
Turning 72 people into demons.
Targeting Yoon Iseon.
And ultimately, trying to shake the mental stability of Yumir, who could potentially destroy the world.
Considering all these, Duoexini was a being that must not be allowed to live.
[Now that hes seen people playing in his game, its time he dies in a game set by the Secret Society.]
Sure was an annoying guy. Alright, Ill do my best. What should I do?
[First, go there and recover your magic power.]
Okay.
Doul left and disappeared.
The scene still had white mucus everywhere, and in the middle, two naked men lay unconscious.
[.]
I have no intention of taking care of that.
Yumir has already stripped them of their abilities, and now theyre Zenros - without abilities.
My concern was the woman lying next to the bike.
I approached the woman, Yoon Iseon.
Thanks to Yumir carefully laying her on the ground, Yoon Iseon was able to fall without serious injury.
But.
[Hey.]
She had fallen, but she hadnt completely lost consciousness.
In fact, her breathing was very stable, not that of someone who had lost consciousness.
[Student Council President.]
No response.
As if dead.
[Hey. Yoon Iseon.]
Of course, she wasnt dead, so I boldly reached out to her.
[Pretending to be dead is problematic. We need to talk.]
Just then, her ears twitched.
The mere approach and conversation from a Goblin should be a bit scary - or perhaps exciting if a fan, but now that I was asking for a dialogue, she seemed a bit frightened.
Then.
[Seems like it wont work. This is best for someone whos lost consciousness.]
Where are you reaching out to?
[Stomach.]
The moment I placed my hand on Yoon Iseons abdomen, she slightly opened her eyes and looked up at me.
How did you know? I was lying there as if dead.
[Should have controlled even the heartbeat. Your breathing was stable, but the trembling of your heart disrupted it.]
She looked at me with a how could I do that expression.
[If you really lost consciousness, you shouldve reduced your heart rate to at least below 60. Your breathing was stable, but the hearts tremors transmitted to your breathing, causing it to be irregular.]
I could only respond well in my mind but kept it to myself and placed my hand on Yoon Iseons Taeguk Watch.
[Didnt record audio, nor video. You just watched with your eyes, I guess.]
[But you still saw it. The Golden Priestess defeating the Demon Pox.]
Thats.
She didnt deny it.
Yoon Iseon did see.
Yumir as the Platinum Sun.
Its like this that the secrets are revealed one by one.
The reason why the protagonists true nature was discovered was simple.
Being too kind-hearted, they failed to notice that the person who seemed to have fainted was actually feigning unconsciousness, assessing the situation silently.
[Keep it a secret.]
I put my index finger on my lips, then placed it over Yoon Iseons lips.
[I need the abilities of the Platinum Sun, and I dont want the Platinum Suns identity to be exposed.]
!
[There are times when killing any demon feels questionable. If I can deal with demons without getting my hands dirty, theres no reason to refuse.]
I pulled up a large tablet connected to the bike and played a video.
[See this?]
A vacant lot in Daejeon.
A golden circle sparkled in mid-air, and from it, a person emerged, landing on the ground.
-Can everyone see this?! Its the Golden Priestess!!
The anchors loud commentary was briefly heard, and the Golden Priestess, placing one hand on the ground, spread golden magical power in all directions.
[She is purifying demons that I find bothersome to deal with.]
Ice pillars melted, revealing the demons inside slowly reverting back to human form.
The once-monstrous individuals, naked but returning to their original forms, collapsed on the ground with bleached hair.
[The Platinum Sun is a being capable of purifying demons. And just as youve seen, Duoexini is after her. If you reveal that she is the Platinum Sun, she will lose her place.]
I understand.
Yoon Iseon nodded heavily.
[In that sense.]
I reached out my hand towards Yoon Iseon.
[Wont you join me in laying a trap to catch Duoexini?]
Together?
[Yes. You must want revenge on Duoexini too. Help me.]
Why?
[Because.]
She is Yoon Iseon.
[I am someone who executes villains, not someone who fights heroes.]
The place to execute Duoexini.
[Ill need to use the power you have as the Student Council President.]
Shall be Sejong Island.
