That moment.

Coo coo coo coo coo!

[Don't be funny! Do you think that a puppet born through my genjutsu would dare to disobey me!]

Xavier shouted in a fit of rage and created a sandstorm to attack Seong Jin-woo's illusion.

[I will have you!]

Wow!

The sandstorm turned into a huge hand and attacked him as if it were going to grab him.

I felt a tenacity in that touch, as if his favorite doll had been taken away right before his eyes.

[I mean, be quiet and be my doll!]

However, Seong Jin-woo's illusion floated into the air and so easily avoided Xavier's touch.

He spoke to Xavier in a relaxed manner.

-Are you okay? You won't have time to worry about me from now on, right?

[What?]

-My son just started a quest.

His eyes turned to Suho, who was checking the contents of the quest.

Suho's eyes were reading the contents of the quest.

[Urgent Quest: Prove your qualifications!]

A vision of Shadow Lord 'Seong Jin-woo' asks his son to prove his qualifications.

Defeat the demonic illusionist 'Xavier' and awaken new shadow powers.

Moment.

Suho shouted, his eyes flashing intensely.

"accept!"

And without hesitation, he rushed towards the sandstorm that was coming from all sides to grab his father.

[Use 'Skill: Storm Slash'.]

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

His twin swords whipped around brilliantly, tearing Xavier's grip apart.

Qarring!

At that moment, an amazing sight unfolded.

The sand that exploded and scattered began to take the shape of numerous skeletons.

"Then, are all the skeletons so far?"

Seong Jin-woo nodded his head as if responding to Su-ho's realization.

-Yes, that's right. Those skeletons are all illusions created by that guy's magic.

It was like that.

Skeletons suddenly started appearing in Haeundae.

It was all an illusion created by Xavier.

Kikekekekekeke!

The skeletons, whose presence was so distinct that it was hard to believe they were illusions, rushed towards Su-ho all at once.

[No matter how strong you are, do you think you can win against infinitely created illusions?]

Illusions with substance and physical power.

It was truly an amazing ability that could be considered an illusionist of the demon race.

however.

Suho didn't show any change in his expression as he looked at the skeletons that were charging at him with vicious force.

"Gangshin."

[The spiritual body of 'Pet: Gray' is strong in the priest's body.]

Shwaaaagh!

Suho's silver hair flutters with the divine wind.

At that sight, Lee Chae suddenly appeared in Seong Jin-woo's eyes.

-hmm? That couldn't be... ....

It's amazing.

The blessings of the canine lord he personally killed resided in his son's body.

At the same time, Suho's movements suddenly became faster.

[Use 'Skill: Grassland Wind'.]

[Movement speed temporarily increases by 30%.]

[Attack speed temporarily increases by 30%.]

'The power of the ruler!'

When Su-ho let go of the swords he was holding in both hands, the swords rushed like beams of light and cut into the skeletons.

At the same time, Suho also fiercely pumped his two fists.

????????!

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!

The skeletons were mercilessly destroyed and shattered by the fierce attack.

Dozens or hundreds of skeletons disappeared without a trace in an instant.

There are so many of these guys.

Even if he kept rushing, he couldn't even buy time against Suho.

However, Seong Jin-woo's eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he watched the scene.

-Hmm.

As I watched closely, I noticed that I could not only feel the energy of the canine monarch in Suho's body.

Can't you feel the energy of the Lord of Plague?

-How did my son become a priest of dead monarchs?

This makes me a little curious about what happened.

Suddenly, Seong Jin-woo's eyes turned to Ber.

As if it was only natural, Ber had been by his side reliably, looking very loyal.

A fierce force radiates from narrowed eyes.

If this had been its original size, it would have looked really sturdy, but the current Ber was so small that it just felt cute.

Seong Jin-woo chuckled and placed his hand on Ber's head again.

-Ber, I need to look into your memories for a moment.

[I will follow you as much as you want.]

Ber willingly closed his eyes and felt Seong Jin-woo's hand on his head.

That time was never long.

-...is it.

Seong Jin-woo, who glimpsed Ver's memories, tilted his head with a somewhat disapproving expression.

Then he suddenly spread his hands in the air and began manipulating Xavier's magic circle at will.

Faaah! Pot, pot, pot!

Following the touch, complex magic circles made of ominous light emerged and began to spin.

At the same time, the sandstorm that was sweeping the area began to gradually change, showing strange movements.

[What is this?]

Xavier was greatly embarrassed by the sudden situation and struggled.

Her magic, which had been unfolded perfectly, was being corrupted without permission.

[There is no way something like this is possible...!]

No matter how hard he tried, once the magic circle left Xavier's hands, it began to deteriorate into a mess.

Seong Jin-woo gave words of comfort to Xavier.

-No need to worry. I don't mean to damage your magic. Even though it looks like this, I am just an illusion and have almost no magic power.

[Oh, no...!]

-Rather than that, I'm trying to improve your magic.

'That doesn't make sense!'

Xavier could not contain his astonishment.

How could he, who is nothing but an illusion, do something like this!

'What kind of monster have I summoned?'

Xavier was feeling an unknown fear that he had never imagined.

And in fact, as he said, Xavier's magic team was developing into more and more perfect form.

Whoa!

[Huhhh?!]

Xavier was extremely embarrassed by the sudden feeling of his power increasing.

But whatever the process is, if you look at the result, it was clearly a good thing for him.

[I don't know what your intentions are, but....]

Xavier grabbed this power that 'he' had given him.

And he looked down at Suho, or rather at all the hunters including him, and revealed his evil nature without hesitation.

[I will use this power gratefully!]

Flash!

[The level of 'Skill: Mirage' has increased.]

Coo coo coo coo coo!

The sand storm became more intense.

At the same time, the strength of the skeletons born from the mirage became much stronger.

-Come on, my son.

The illusion of Seong Jin-woo, who was looking down at the scene from above, slowly raised the corner of his mouth and crossed his arms.

-Father laid the board like this, so use all the strength you have. Dad will take care of the rest, so don't worry.

"...!"

Moment. f reenovelkiss.com

Suho's eyes widened in surprise.

And even though he was in the middle of a battle, his gaze instinctively moved to find his father.

Later.

I realized what those words meant.

Italim.

Apostle of Itarim!

All this time, he had been suppressing his power, knowingly or unknowingly.

To not be a burden to my father.

To avoid revealing to his father's enemies that he was a descendant of the Shadow Lord.

He was using his most powerful power, the Shadow Power, to a minimum.

The reason was obvious.

He had to.

For my father.

'Because I am my father's only weakness.'

however.

Now the father.

-Tsk. This guy has gotten older and his hair has gotten thicker.

He was clicking his tongue at himself.

-No, how old are you already worrying about your parents?

...He was reprimanding himself in a tone that seemed to see through all the worries he had had until now.

-Suho. my son

Unable to hide the cute and unique smile from his mouth.

-That's basically what I'm worried about. This is what parents do to their children.

He was smiling.

– Basically, it means that higher-ranking people worry about lower-ranking people.

And as that smile gets deeper.

Gooooooooo!

Before I knew it, Seong Jin-Woo's momentum was taking over the entire area as if it were going to engulf it.

-Know this now.

And he sincerely scolded his son, who had been worrying about him all this time.

– This dad is a horse. He has never lived a single moment in vain until now. I'm not so weak that I need to be worried by a brat like you.

"...."

-therefore.

My father's voice resonates in a low voice.

-Stop worrying about your dad so needlessly.

The moment I heard those words.

With a huff, something heavy inside Suho disappeared.

I realized it at the same time.

The real reason why his father appeared in Xavier's vision.

'Xavier's skill, Mirage'

An illusion that reveals terrible memories deeply engraved within the target.

The scariest thing about this skill was that it brought to life the weakest part of a person, the subject's most anxious and vulnerable memories.

And as the current results prove.

The traumatic feelings that Suho had been suppressing all this time were about his father.

'Because of me, my father....'

'If my father gets caught because of me....'

'If I become a hostage to them, it will be a big problem....'

'I am my father's only weakness...' ....'

It was the fantasy of me, the 'father,' that came out and expressed all those thoughts.

But now the father has given permission.

That moment.

Suho's eyes changed.

The corners of his mouth rose.

A smile that somehow resembles his father.

An extremely relaxed expression appeared on his face.

He stopped walking and looked in front of him.

With bright eyes that resemble his father.

And then he opened his mouth.

"Get up."

...!

That moment.

Shwaaaaaaaaa!

At Suho's feet, his shadow soldiers rose up all at once.

Shadow soldiers billowing black vapor from their entire bodies.

Wow!

They stood with Su-ho at the center and spewed out ferocious murderous energy in all directions.

Among them were Quay, Harmakan, and Kira, who were traveling around the country to hunt villains.

"Harmakan, create an instance dungeon."

[Yes, master.]

Flash!

When the command was given, Harmakan spread his arms and performed a spell.

[Instance dungeon has been created.]

Flash!

At that moment, a transparent force field spread out in all directions centered on Harmakan.

That huge sphere dragged the entire sandstorm created by Xavier into the other world.

All of the hunters gathered here, including Xavier.

-That's novel. You're using instance dungeons to trap enemies.

Seong Jin-woo nodded, saying that it was now a bit interesting.

Xavier, on the other hand, couldn't help but be embarrassed.

[This could not be Candiaru's...!]

Xavier was horrified to realize that he had been trapped in a magic camp of a much higher level than himself.

But that wasn't the problem.

A shadow lord-like energy was suddenly radiating from Suho.

[Uh, how could you...No, wait! You can't believe it... ...?!]

"okay."

Suho willingly answered the question.

Like letting out the breath you've been holding.

"I am Seongsu-ho, the son of the Shadow Lord."

That moment.

[You have learned 'Skill: Lord's Realm Lv.1'.]

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The shadow of the guardian dyed the entire land black.
