Chapter 348: Putting your mansion on fire to catch a bedbug (4)

Gungnir left Ju-Heon’s hand, broke Henry’s neck bone, and cut off his airway .

Henry was bleeding out as he was flung backward .

Boom!

Henry twitched in pain on the ground .

Although he chose not to take a Monarch title on purpose, all of these knights were at the Monarch level .

They had their own ways of getting the benefits without the titles . That was why he was in serious pain but not dead after an impact that would have killed most normal people .

“Ugh, uuuugh…”

Blood and spit were dripping out of his mouth as if he was an animal .

His pained eyes were moving around without being able to focus .

Eventually, his shaking pupils landed on Ju-Heon .

His frantically shaking pupils looked right into Ju-Heon’s flashing eyes .

“You could have died without all this pain . It looks like being a half-assed super human ended up putting you in more pain . My bad . ”

Ju-Heon’s eyes were not smiling . Even this kind of ‘apology’ was too much for these bastards .

Henry’s eyes turned extremely red and looked ready to explode at Ju-Heon’s despicable excuse .

‘This son of a bitch…!’

Henry knew that this bastard was aware of the fact that they wouldn’t die so easily .

‘Just cut my neck off, you son of a bitch!’

Unfortunately, Ju-Heon was not the type to do as his enemies wished .

Most importantly, Ju-Heon was trying to test something .

‘The 150 people of the Round Table were said to have things similar to divine blessings . ’

It was the buff-type Round Table artifact’s powers .

He wanted to see what it was capable of doing .

He wanted to know if it was on the level of the Heirlooms .

But based on what he had seen so far, it didn’t seem to give them special abilities like the Heirlooms nor put them at the super human level of Monarchs either .

‘It at least seems to put them at a level of wearing a S-Grade or SS-Grade defense-type artifact . ’

The Round Table artifact probably also had the effects of not letting them get older or sick . How else would they have spread tomb syndrome all over the world without fear of catching it themselves?

There was some kind of medium in their body that connects them to the Round Table . That medium would be the vital points for these bastards .

He would use Gungnir to destroy that medium somewhere in Henry’s body . Then he would instantly turn into a regular person and his body would fall into shock from all of the injuries he has received .

Loki had died because his medium had been destroyed .

Ju-Heon pulled Gungnir out of Henry’s neck as if he knew that was the case .

“I’ll let you rest in peace now . ”

Henry started to despair .

It was not because he was about to die .

‘These bastards will get their revenge . ’

He felt as if he could see the future that was to come .

“Goodbye now . ”

Gungnir flew up to the sky before stabbing into Henry’s side .

Puuk!

It was the moment the medium that was connected to the Round Table was destroyed .

Ju-Heon gave an order at the same time .

“Seol-A and Ilya, you guys go find Gaia’s artifact that should be in here somewhere . ”

“What about you, Captain-nim?”

“Me? I need to take that . ”

“!”

Ju-Heon was pointing at Henry . An intense heat shot out of Henry’s body at that moment . Henry’s corpse started to jerk .

“That is…?!”

Something revealed itself as it dug out from his body by eating his flesh .

“Aaah!”

It looked like a snake . The snake that finally burst out of Henry’s body was longer than they could have ever expected .

It had disgusting scales and was so long that it looked like it would take a month for it to slither past them!

This was the Divine-Grade artifact Henry had been using!

This was Leviathan!

This bastard was the wicked snake that shows up as God’s enemy in the Old Testament . It was originally the bitter enemy of the gods in Akkadian mythology, but it had been added into the Old Testament by the Jews . This greedy evil god was even called the Dragon of the Sea .

It was famous for working with Satan to drag God down from his position .

The team members became anxious after seeing such an artifact appear .

“Wait, why didn’t that bastard use this artifact at all?!”

Ju-Heon just laughed .

“That bastard is an extremely strong snake that tried to bring down the heavens . I bet none of the knights could handle it so they stuck it to a guy who had a decent level of Affinity . ”

It was obvious that Henry was the type with high Affinity .

“Ho, then it didn’t even do anything when its master was in danger and only came out because he died? Even our pushover wouldn’t be ignored to that level . ”

“What?!”

Ju-Heon started to speak .

“Even the Four Emperors would find it hard to control this bastard . They probably couldn’t do it unless they had a Divine artifact from Akkadian mythology . ”

Ilya cynically joked .

“Then you shouldn’t be able to handle it either, Captain . Even as an artifact you were just a D-Grade antique, no, trash . ”

Ju-Heon kicked Ilya almost immediately .

“Ugh!”

“If I actually wasn’t a D-Grade artifact, you will turn into a F-Grade, Trash-Grade puddle of shit that instant . Got it?”

‘What?’

“Umm…there is no such thing as F-Grade artifacts in the world…”

“I will personally make it . You will be the first one . ”

Ilya’s face turned pale . His already white face turned completely white, as if it was covered in flour .

‘S, should I tell the truth?’

Should he say that the Captain was actually a Divine-Grade artifact?

It was at that moment .

Bang!

The room they were in started to break after about half of Leviathan’s large body appeared .

“Aaah!”

Boom, booooom!

The bastard stretched its body to squash Ju-Heon’s group .

Jaeha started to swear once they were pushed up against the walls and almost squished to death .

“Hey, you damn worm bastard! There are people here!”

Leviathan just sneered and haughtily slammed down on Jaeha .

Bang!

“Jaeha!”

It was such a strong attack that a sinkhole was created on the ground . Seol-A, who had been detecting the enemy’s aura, turned pale .

“It’s aura is too strong! I, I don’t know how to tell you this, but it seems stronger than your Crow, Captain-nim……!”

“Ow! He said it was one even the Knights of the Round Table couldn’t handle! Of course it is strong! Let’s get out of here since we got Un-known! Kongming should have gotten enough evidence by now!”

But Ju-Heon turned the rope into a lasso and started swinging it around .

“Why would we leave?”

Most importantly, this bastard was an artifact he could use to destroy this place .

‘This bastard is also said to be an artifact that went against God . ’

He smiled sharply and threw the lasso .

“Alright, let’s make some snake wine today!”

Ju-Heon and Leviathan started to fight .

“These motherfuckers…”

Julian gasped . He had come to the place where Ju-Heon had supposedly gathered Un-known from, but……

“How can they do something like this? They are just monsters in human skin . ”

Julian frowned as if he found it to be disgusting .

It really was . The area around him was full of refrigerated storage areas and mysterious artifact tools . The corpses inside the refrigerated storage areas were all people who had died from tomb syndrome .

Julian gasped at the unbelievable sight and started taking photos for evidence . He then started to think about how he could move this whole place . It was so that he could figure out who all of these people were and send the bodies to the families .

It was at that moment .

“What the hell? There was this kind of place?”

“Isn’t it connected underground?”

He heard some familiar voices above him . Ilya and Seol-A were there .

“We didn’t see an area like this earlier . ”

Julian urgently shouted at them .

“Be careful! This whole underground area is an artifact!”

“What?”

Julian was right .

Julian had found this hidden underground area a few minutes ago in the room with Un-known .

This path connected underground had appeared because they had destroyed the building so much .

This underground area was not normal .

[Charles Perrault – Bluebeard’s Secret Room (A-Grade:Treasure-Grade – Consumable Artifact)]

-75,480/87,600

Julian wondered why they used Bluebeard’s artifact of all things but he soon understood .

‘They must have used an artifact like this because it is a place like this . ’

The story of Bluebeard was quite famous . There was a Lord with a blue beard and the numerous women who were married to him all went missing . A new woman ends up being married to him and Bluebeard tells his new wife that she can go into any room except one .

But the woman ends up going into that room to find the bodies of all of the women that Bluebeard has killed until then .

The woman tries to pretend as if she didn’t see it, but her husband catches her and she ends up being in danger of being murdered the same way .

And then…

‘Anybody who walks into that room was automatically murdered . ’

He didn’t know the specific abilities of the artifact but it must be related to keeping people quiet or a safe to securely store things .

Of course, he had no difficulties coming inside . This was still a part of Pandora’s facilities . Joy’s key had reacted to let him in .

Returning back to the group…

“Why are you guys here?”

Seol-A responded to Julian’s question .

“The Captain-nim told us to meet up with you, Vice Captain-nim . He told us to escape right after finding Gaia…”

“What? What is the Captain doing?!”

Ilya looked at the photos Julian had taken as Julian asked . He then clicked his tongue .

“Man, you suck at taking photos . Even I would have taken better photos than you . ”

“Then you take them . ”

Julian shoved the camera to Ilya as he asked again .

“Anyway, what about the Captain?! That bastard wouldn’t stay back alone without any reason . ”

Seol-A seemed to be hesitating .

“Umm…the Captain-nim stayed back to fight Leviathan’s artifact . ”

“What?!”

Seol-A seemed to be concerned as well as she kept looking up .

But the tomb raiding team’s rule was to focus on the mission and not the Captain . Ju-Heon had set it that way . That was why Seol-A couldn’t go to rescue Ju-Heon even if she was worried about him . He had given her a mission .

But Julian’s eyes seemed to be shooting flames out as if he was shocked .

His reaction was to be expected .

“Leviathan?! Is he crazy?! How does he think he can take that thing on alone?!”

Julian urgently ran out of the underground area .

“Seo Ju-Heon!”

Julian was completely pale as he ran out .

‘That crazy bastard . ’

Julian was thinking that Ju-Heon should know what Leviathan was capable of .

‘That’s the artifact that destroyed part of Africa . ’

That artifact had appeared in the Red Sea in the past .

Pandora had probably sent it to get rid of the people who were against them .

The countries that had rebelled were Egypt, UAE and other countries in the Middle East and Africa .

The Sea Dragon that had appeared in the Red Sea destroyed everywhere the enemies were hiding .

That overlord of the sea had destroyed a part of Africa to clearly set an example . Thanks to its attack, the northern part of Africa was no longer on the map .

It was the incident that made the world fear Pandora’s power .

“He wants to take that thing on…?!”

Was Ju-Heon also planning on using it to rule the world with fear? Julian freaked out after coming out .

“You!”

He couldn’t help it because forget using it as a symbol of fear… The large snake Leviathan was already dissected and turned into fresh sashimi .

Ju-Heon was calmly slicing Leviathan as if it was tuna sashimi . He was also cooking some parts on the fires from hell that Ilya had left behind .

“Ah, I wish it would cook faster . ”

Julian couldn’t help but be flustered .

“Seo Ju-Heon, what the hell are you doing?!”

Jaeha seemed to be in a state of shock as he spoke .

“This crazy person…!”

“Jaeha, what the hell happened?!”

“T, that…”

It was at that moment .

“Put your weapons down and don’t resi…huh?”

Pandora’s soldiers dropped their jaws in shock after finally appearing .

An odd silence filled the room . Ju-Heon’s eyes flashed as if to tell them they were too late .

“Move the fuck away if you guys don’t want to be turned into sashimi too . ”

The knife he was holding up against his shoulder shined viciously .

While that was going on, at an airport in Italy…

“What?”

John, who had arrived at the airport, was shocked to hear some unexpected news .

“Is that really true? Henry is dead?”

[Yes, they even took Leviathan . So hurry…]

John scoffed in disbelief .

He was sad about his friend’s death . He had been worried about it since Henry ignored him and hung up, but…

‘But for him to really die…’

And what? He couldn’t believe that Ju-Heon had taken Leviathan’s artifact .

John quickly watched the CCTV footage that Pandora had sent him .

He couldn’t believe what he was watching Seo Ju-Heon do . It looked as if Leviathan had been running away and Ju-Heon forcibly chopped it up into sashimi .

Normally, John would have thought Ju-Heon took Leviathan because he was greedy for artifacts or to show it off, but…

‘The Adversary of the Heavens . ’

In some aspects, it was an artifact that could go up against them . That was why the bastard in the video seemed to be saying something .

You’re next . It was as if Ju-Heon was telling him not to even think about showing his dirty face pretending to be their old team member .
