I had destroyed the master's moves and pushed the chess pieces down the board.

However, there were still moves on the chessboard, especially in the dark and hard-to-see areas of the master's camp, that I had not figured out.

So I assumed numerous moves and prepared to respond.

'There is no specific mention of the sea in Plumago's Math Trip, but we must prepare.'

The master had already brought enemies from across the sea.

At that time, the enemies were annihilated, and the impersonator who had been used in that move was captured, but the source was not resolved.

The impersonators and the enemies did not have the ability to use such great power.

If that was the case, it meant that someone in the master's camp had used that ability.

'It is also possible that the master himself moved. However, at that time, the master was moving to steal the secrets of life and death from the cycle of reincarnation, create a death list, and eliminate the guards. So, isn’t it possible that the one who used that ability was a subordinate I don’t know?’

Whether the Dark Curtain was moving directly or had a subordinate who could handle great power, there was a high possibility that he would act in the sea.

Unlike the time of Plumago, he was unable to break Eun Gwang-go’s power, and since he was doing business on the island, there was a high possibility that he would touch the sea.

That’s why he deployed Kim Yu-ri to the sea at the recommendation of Jecheon Daeseong, Mujigi, and Hwang Ji-ho.

‘It was not my intention to drag Kim Yu-ri into such a big operation, but there aren’t many opportunities to fight with the great monster Mujigi, and under the protection of Jecheon Daeseong. If possible, I would like to bring along a dragon who can handle water... ... It would be difficult.’

It was dangerous, but Jecheon Daeseong could immediately take Kim Yu-ri with him and leave with his close friend, so he agreed.

In addition, if Kim Yu-ri fought well, the burden on Mujigi, who had just woken up from his sickbed, would be greatly reduced.

The next thing he was prepared for was the demon tribe.

The beginning of the Demon World scenario planned by the Demons and the Dark Side is approaching, but they haven’t been able to sufficiently instill fear and death in the Korean Peninsula.

So they could have targeted the Jeju Island residents during the chaos.

‘Even so, the Demons’ countermeasures aren’t difficult. All they need is Professor Jegal Jae-geol. The enemy will know that, so they’ll catch Professor Jegal Jae-geol by the ankle.’

If they use the darkness, spatial distortion, and weather anomalies on Mt. Halla to tie up the students, Professor Jegal Jae-geol will never leave the students behind and come down.

The Dark Side also knows that, so they’ll aim for it, so they had to get Professor Jegal Jae-geol down right before the incident happened.

That’s why they decided to use Geumchan Wangchan’s gang.

‘It won’t be easy to steal half the number of escape warp devices installed in the Air Hotel and install them on the Hallasan Trail, but those seniors are not easy people, so it’ll be okay.’

Since the escape warp device utilizes advanced abilities, it’s very expensive, and there are many restrictions on its installation.

To suddenly install it on Hallasan, several veteran player technicians would be needed.

However, those seniors not only have a lot of money, but they were also the joint third-ranking students in the entire school, following Cheon Dong-ha and Yeom Jun-yeol, although it’s hard to believe.

I tried to figure out a more detailed plan and send a technician from among my collaborators and provide financial assistance, but Geum Chan-wang-chan said, ‘Since it’s related to Teacher Jegal, we’ll take care of it ourselves, right?’ and really took care of everything.

In addition, there was another place that resolved the crisis on its own, aside from Geum Chan-wang-chan.

‘Yoon Yeo-rang noticed the change before I did. I thought it was more likely to target Chokrin in the Red Lion Building, but they had already finished copying the few dragons and were trying to use them.’

The one who poured the most resources and manpower into this operation was Yeom Jun-yeol’s family.

They were moving while carrying out the minimum missions as a professional player team while solidifying the defense of the Yonggung and Red Lion team buildings, and the press response team was also on standby for some time.

In addition, the leader, Cheongryong, had to search for the feathers of Jujak together with Hyunmu.

And there was something I wanted to leave to Yongjegeon and the Emperor of Hongyeon.

Considering their burden, I wanted to reduce the work, but it was something I absolutely had to do.

‘I have to deal with the palace spirit.’

Because the palace spirit recognized the nightmare inside me, the number of people I could put in this operation was greatly reduced.

Since it was an operation with a large number of students and teachers from Eun Gwang High School accompanying them, if I used my Gwangrim, the number of people I could mix in and move directly increased significantly.

But as long as there was a Gung-gi who noticed my appearance and was targeting me, I couldn’t move forward.

Furthermore, Gung-gi was originally a strong Jin tribe, but his strength grew even more as he freely manipulated the evil darkness.

Even the most ignorant and ignorant Mujae couldn’t defeat Gung-gi.

―Jo Eui-shin, you don’t need to step forward and become Gung-gi’s target yourself. The number you suggested is already enough. This time, we will capture Gung-gi.

Hwang Ji-ho said that because he expected Gung-gi’s intervention, but I shook my head.

It wasn’t a refusal that came from a desire to blindly take risks.

― Aside from Gung-gi, there could be someone like Sleep Yang or In Seon-oh who can recognize nightmares. So we have to experiment now and set a trap.

― Experiment? Trap?

An experiment to see how far we can deceive Gung-gi’s senses.

A trap to use this to defeat Gung-gi.

I first experimented with various means from the moment the evil darkness that was supposedly handled by the palace appeared.

―Jeon Mu-yeong’s Gwangrim, ‘Time without Shadows’ is not piercing. ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Let’s try with red smoke this time.

―Okay.

Even if I used red smoke, the palace didn’t rush towards me.

As a result, it was confirmed that the red smoke used by Jeokho also worked.

Next, I tested the barrier.

It was Inseon-oh’s barrier that observed the Yangjok’s barrier that blocks nightmares and implemented it.

―It would have been better if Hwangho had done it properly. How can he be so proud of his barrier technique and not be able to make a barrier that can even make a half-human child like that sheep?

Jeokho spoke sharply, perhaps because he didn’t like the item I was wearing.

The dream catcher that I asked Inseon-oh to make was large enough to hang around my neck and had a gray spider pattern engraved on it.

It was a type of item that would create a barrier centered around the dream catcher for a short time if you poured in the ability wave.

Jeokho said that Ungnyeo would make an accessory suitable for the benefactor of the tiger and bear, but I just ignored it.

I was now focused on observing the movements of the palace spirit that was looking for me beyond the dark darkness.

―That crazy palace spirit didn’t notice again. There are surprisingly many ways to block it.

Inseonoh’s barrier also worked.

Then the experiment, trap, and the last step remained.

Jeokho said.

―Then I will go and tell Yongjegeon who is waiting. Will he be caught by the nightmare dust or not? I wonder how he will react if he is caught again.

―Yes, move carefully.

―Joeuishin, don’t overdo it.

Jeokho finished his short greeting and left silently.

It was extremely difficult to communicate and make delicate moves on Mt. Halla, where communications were down.

We planned to use Jeonseogu and others, but since the mastermind had caused spatial distortion on Mt. Halla, and the evil darkness could affect items, we decided to have Jeokho, who could move secretly, act as the messenger.

‘If the request I made to Joo Soo-hyeok had been properly resolved, it would have been easier to make moves. Is Hwang Ji-ho protecting the Yangjok well? I don’t know the situation.’

The calculation was that the 1GG technology that the Joo Group was developing was a completely new technology different from traditional communication methods, so the mastermind would not be able to stop it using existing methods.

Unfortunately, this move could not be used in this incident.

Hwang Ji-ho was in charge of preventing the annihilation of the Yangjok and preparing for the students who chose the Seongpanak course to run wild.

There will be many variables as he will have to fight directly against an enemy whose abilities and numbers are unknown and protect 280 Eun Gwang High School students.

‘Basically, I will move as I please, but Hwang Ji-ho said he will respond flexibly in case of an emergency. Let’s trust him.’

Eun-ho will also use his wisdom to help Hwang Ji-ho, so there won’t be any major problems.

As he was watching the sky using Cheon Dong-ha’s supernatural power, there was a change.

Gung-gi moved along with Yong Je-geon.

All experiments were successful, and Gung-gi headed toward the trap.

‘Now, I have to leave Gung-gi to Yong Je-geon and the Red Lion.’

At this point, the safety of all the third-year students of Eun Gwang High School has not been secured, and the volcanic eruption has not been prevented.

Now, I can finally move.

I put on the crow mask and escaped from the hideout I had prepared on Mt. Halla.

〈Gwangrim, use ‘Player’s Trajectory’.〉

My task now was to make my side think that I was the real Yeom Jun-yeol.

However, even if I succeeded in deceiving the enemy, Yeom Jun-yeol’s safety could not be completely guaranteed.

While moving along the energy of the fire to calm the volcano, the faint presence around me disappeared.

I couldn’t tell if the bodyguards I had brought along to imitate Yeom Jun-yeol had erased the presence or if they had really disappeared.

‘The news is late. What’s going on? Even if it doesn’t come to me, I should go to Yeom Jun-yeol’s side.’

One of the hands wasn’t moving properly.

Instead, I could see a dark cloud rising from the direction where Yongjegeon was, so large that it could be seen with the naked eye without any powers.

It seemed like the palace had done something unexpected.

When I realized that the hand was off, my body soon changed.

The Ability Sect was out of control and running wild.

Elimination of the bodyguards.

Yeom Jun-yeol's rampage.

Collecting and disclosing evidence of the rampage.

Killing Yeom Jun-yeol.

The masked man's orders from him were as follows.

The Red Cliff Phantom's intervention was unexpected, but there was nothing he could do other than briefly tricking them to buy time.

'Did he believe that if he bought time, the Dragon Clan or the Red Lion would be able to find us and deal with us? Or did he overestimate the power of the Red Cliff Phantom?'

With the Dragon Clan and the Red Lion working together, and with the excellent teachers and students of Eun Gwang High School accompanying him, there would be nothing to fear.

He must have confidence in his abilities since he had successfully taken down the Illusion Gate on his own and intervened several times.

However, their target clearly underestimated his power and the destructive power of the evil darkness they had in their hands.

‘We took care of the bodyguards accompanying Yeom Jun-yeol.’

‘Now that the obstacles are gone, let’s make them both go berserk.’

‘Which one should we reveal to the public first?’

‘It doesn’t matter which one. Don’t they both have Yeom Jun-yeol’s face?’

The self-proclaimed Red Cliff Phantom and Cheon Dong-ha were running around trying to stop the volcano.

Cheon Dong-ha found a way, and the self-proclaimed Red Cliff Phantom carefully examined the vein and poured in the energy of fire.

Perhaps he realized that the feather of the phoenix that would act as a detonator had been planted in the vein, and when he poured in the energy of fire, the volcano gradually calmed down.

However, considering the number of moves they had made, it was meaningless.

Everyone who gave orders ordered them to fix their hoods and surrounded the area.

‘Spray.’

The rampage inducer mixed with the evil darkness headed towards the one who was holding his hand on the ground.

Cheon Dong-ha saw this with his eyes and urged him, but he couldn’t move easily because he was handling the energy of fire.

Soon, the rampage inducer swallowed the two people faster than Cheon Dong-ha could sense.

Thanks to the poison taken from the teeth of ‘Nidhogg’, who was especially famous for being a crazy dragon, it quickly consumed the one who was using the power of the dragon.

Whirrrrrr!

The one who looked like Yeom Jun-yeol resisted fiercely, as if he was covered in flames or spewing red supernatural powers.

He covered his body with fiery supernatural powers, and belatedly took his hand off the ground to summon Hongryong and fly into the sky, trying to calm down while breathing heavily like fire.

However, he couldn’t escape this area or calm down.

He couldn’t do anything in front of the rampage inducer that was more powerful than Cheon Dong-ha.

‘This is almost like a dragon.’

With his pupils dilated vertically, his entire body covered in scales, his hair burning like flames, and his face half covered in scales, he looked more like a dragon than a human.

Everyone around him had already melted or burned, except for Cheon Dong-ha, who was barely holding on.

Yeom Jun-yeol was still beautiful, but he didn’t look like the star player the public loves.

Those who saw him acting like a dragon because he couldn’t control his strength would fear him, saying that even his descendants were dragons after all.

They recorded this scene with a recording device.

They were about to send it to the specially selected reporters who knew neither honor nor shame.

Even while the communication was cut off, some data arrived first through the secretly secured channel.

It was data urgently sent by a reporter who was waiting.

The identity of the data was a press release released today by the Dragon Tribe and the Red Lion.

[Hongryong Yeom Jun-yeol's new technique revealed, 'Hongryonghwa']

[In the Summoner of Hongryong, Hongryong itself.]

In that data, there were videos and photos of Yeom Jun-yeol who was half Hongryong, although not as violent as now.

Hongryong's fans were excited about Yeom Jun-yeol's new appearance.

Even if they released the video they obtained now, since no one was hurt or killed, it would be thought that he was only practicing Hongryonghwa.

They tried to release it as a miserable and horrifying appearance right before going berserk, but it was useless.

'What is this, as if they expected it to go berserk, no, was it really going berserk in the first place? This Hongryonghwa appearance right now and that appearance right now are almost identical... ... .'

A berserk inducer induces the target to go berserk, but if you look closely, it also has another power.

Berserk also means an amplification of power.

If only the flow of explosive power could be controlled, the rampage inducer would only be a power amplifier.

The masked man shouted urgently.

“Prepare for battle!”

Yeom Jun-yeol, who had succeeded in controlling the power, stood before them in the form of a Hongryonghwa.
