As Min-ho stepped into the forest, the system robotic voice sounded out in his ear.
>>>>issuing emergency main mission>>>
>>>Creating multiple paths for host optimum survival>>>
>>>Escape to west border>>>
>>>>survive the dark lord reign>>>
>>>>defeat the dark lord>>>>
>>>Reward-Given base on host choice and path taken>>
>>>Failure will result in host death>>>
>>>Each choice have their pros and cons, so the host is advised to choose wisely>>>>
Min-ho knew trouble when he saw one and the system spelled it out clearly.
It was the first time the system has issued something like this and even override the main mission, meaning it valued it far more important than killing an emperor.
Now that the system has given it as a mission, he had the choose to do it wholeheartedly.
Lucky for him, he had a clue on where to start looking, he hoped that it wasn't what he was thinking.
Heavy breathing could be heard as two youths sat on the grass covered ground in the depths of the forest.
"You know I always win, why do you still challenge Ms?" The red hair youth asked in a foreign language.
The taller one stood up picking his sword as he pointed it at the red hair one.
"You know Hendrix one day I will definitely win in one of our little spars" He sounded out confidently.
Hendrix stood up grabbing his jacket from the ground, dusting it a couple of times before walking away from the range of the blade.
"Where you going?" The taller one asked.
"Well obláck unlike you that lazy around I have an actual job" Hendrix replied.
"What I have a job but isn't your job to just look good and smile" obláck fired back.
"Well to surprise you I just finished magic training with top scores and In this life am going to be at the fucking top with power" Hendrix replied.
"You know am going to be crowned soon, hope to see you there" obláck asked as he saw Hendrix frame disappeared into the forest.
"That fucking constantly trying to act cool" He said to himself as he threw his long sword over his shoulder, walking towards the opposite direction.
"Long time no see piss face" Hendrix sounded out as he walked close to obláck who was busy swinging his sword.
No reply as obláck ignored him, still swinging his sword.
"Hey fuvker what's up?" Hendrix asked, pulling his shoulder to face him before ducking to dodge the swing of the blade aimed at his head.
He immediately created a fireball blasting it at obláck who used his sword as a shield blocking the flame sliding back.
Hendrix immediately created a long blade with flames.
"You missed it! You actually missed it" obláck screamed as if terrified.
"Come on, I am the last person you actually want to see there" Hendrix replied as he walked closer.
"I waited for you all day yesterday, but you never came" obláck continued, still ignoring Hendrix.
This annoyed him as he threw a light wind blast at obláck who swayed to the side dodging it.
"May I have your attention my lord but sometimes came up" Hendrix replied.
"More important than attending my coronation" obláck asked.
Hendrix scratched his chin.
"Well yesterday I was appointed minister of magic" He said beaming with pride.
"Minister of magic my ass" obláck said.
"I guess it been long since I give you a thorough beating" Hendrix said as he ..... his knuckles.
Hendrix bowed before the king of the Ethereal Nexus realm Lucius Malfoy, his older brother.
"Hendrix Malfoy you have been commissioned by the king to assassinate the current king of the Arcanthal realm we have struck a deal with the most suitable candidate for the throne" a man stood beside Lucius said reading a large scroll.
Hendrix eyes grew in surprise as he fell on his ass.
He could see Lucius smiling face as it was part of his plot to destabilize him.
If he rejected not only will he be charged for treason but his wife and baby girl as well.
He grint his teeth as he bowed.
"I humbly accept your order" Hendrix replied as tears flowed down his eyes.
On a mountain plain, two figure clashed swords together as Hendrix created a large fireball spell, shooting it at obláck who dodged.
"What is going on, Hendrix? Talk to me!" obláck commanded him as he parried Hendrix flaming blade.
Hendrix jumped back as the ground shook, capturing obláck from moving as Hendrix took his blade stabbing him in the stomach.
He was about to behead him, but he dropped his blade as tears flowed down his eyes.
"I can't bring myself to take your life, my friend" Hendrix stated out.
"I am sorry that it had to be this way" He continued as he pulled out a crystal from his fore arm.
The gem shown bright as it floated in the sky, Hendrix began to recite a series of magic spells as large chains pierced through obláck causing him great pain.
He screamed out begging Hendrix as a large throne appeared from under him, lifting him up to a sitting position.
"Remain here my friend, I will never forget your sacrifice" Hendrix bowed as the chain tighten even more with the gem as the power source.
A large gate appeared, sealing obláck in the darkness.
Min-ho arrived at the large gate with rune markings as he discovered a large hole in the wall of the fence there.
"Ah fuck" Min-ho said as he ran into the darkness.
He soon emerged with a red gem in his hand, which he placed in his pocket.
He heard a loud scream which shook the forest, it was Ha-eun voice that filled the air.
From her voice, Min-ho knew that she was in great pain and how did he hear her voice from far away, it was because of the new skill he gained last night?
>>>>>Do host wish to teleport to marked location 1>>>>
Min-ho nodded as he summoned his two katanas cursing loud as his body faded into the darkness.
He arrived at the river bank again as his senses tinged immediately ducking as a swish sound blew past him.
He jumped back, turning around to find obláck standing behind him with his long sword now hanging over his shoulder.
Ha-eun and Seo-yeon were on the ground, as Min-ho couldn't tell whether they were alive or not.
But the grunts sound from pain made him assured that they were still breathing.
Min-ho sighed in relief.
"Hello Hendrix" obláck said with a smile on his dark face.
"Who would have thought that you care for anyone but yourself" He added.
Min-ho wasn't ready to lose them as they still had their uses, and it was difficult to find women as strong and loyal as both of them.
"Well I guess I have grown soft" Min-ho replied in the same language as obláck holding both his katanas preparing for an attack.
"You seem different, a lot weaker? You really have grown soft Hendrix and you will die by my hand" obláck said as he swing his blade in an attempt to slice Min-ho in half.
Min-ho dodged to the side as obláck changed the direction of the long blade, trying to slash at him.
Min-ho jumped over the blade as he ran closer to obláck slashing his katanas at him.
obláck used his free hand to block the incoming strike as Min-ho blade hit his armor before he punched Min-ho.
Min-ho was pushed back by the immense strength of obláck as he spat a mouthful of blood.
"Duck!" A voice sounded out behind Min-ho as he immediately dropped down half his height as an arrow flew past him heading for obláck , who simple swayed it away with his long sword.
Duri and Hana appeared from behind Min-ho as they fired even more arrows at obláck who simply slashed and dodged them.
"Ah this is getting annoying" Duri said as she dropped her bow, pointing her fingers at obláck shooting wind bullets at him.
The first shot pierced through his amour as he used his sword as a shield to block of the other attacks.
Hana appeared behind him as she too used the same technique.
Suddenly obláck blade moved on it own, slashing at Hana unexpectedly as it cut across her body.
Hana screamed from pain, immediately distracting Duri as obláck appeared in front of her, punching her stomach before he could behead her.
Min-ho pared his blade as he slides back with Duri in his hand.
Min-ho knew first hand how strong obláck was, and simple attacks wouldn't work on him.
"I guess it time to bring out the big guns" Min-ho said as he activated his nine steps of death
He felt energy flowing through his body skyrocket as he dropped Duri facing obláck.
"Ah that more like it" obláck said as he lifted his blade ready to attack.
