Chapter 178 Shadow Dojo (3) (1/2)

“Then, is there nothing you know about that?”

“Y, Yeah! So please…..!”

The Bow God, Jang Wei, clicked his tongue as he looked at the bloody person at his feet. He took the wrong step again.

How many times had he made a mistake now? It had already been half a year since he received a new job from the Summer Queen.

During that time, Jang Wei had investigated Bahal and his surroundings. He thought that there might be something about who was related to this.

And Bahal wasn’t well liked by the people around him, so there were a bunch of people Jang Wei had to look into.

Whie he was doing that, he caught 3 of the 81 Eyes, though they didn’t matter. The Summer Queen had been furious and said to cut their heads off.

But Jang Wei still wasn’t able to find any secret.

A player named ‘Cain’ that Bahal has cherished stood out.

Things like how a rookie was that strong, or how he contributed in finding the Saber God’s son.

However.

‘It’s impossible for such a nobody to be related to this. And he entered the Foreign Legion after the war began. He’s too clean. If he was related to this, he would’ve been connected before that.’

The Summer Queen was thinking that Red Dragon and Cheonghwado were a part of this.

Then, thorough preparation would’ve been required. Jang Wei thought that the other Eight Clans were related to this. It was ‘logical.’

In that way, he couldn’t find anything to point the Hoarder, Cain, out.

It hadn’t been that long since he came over from the Tutorial, and he didn’t have time to become involved with someone. His accomplishments on the different floors were so clear.

And the Summer Queen didn’t seem to want to be involved with the One-horned tribe.

Everyone knew that Cain was sworn brothers with the siblings and that he was a disciple of the Martial King.

The Summer Queen didn’t even take any reports about Cain anymore. Jang Wei also thought it was useless and pushed his doubt about Cain aside.

There were a lot of people he suspected anyway, and they were all doubtful. He actually found their ties to other clans.

But after he examined everything, even down to the tiniest detail, he wasn’t able to find anything.

Did they clearly cut off their tail and run away? Now, he thought that it was actually possible there was someone behind all this, like the Summer Queen said.

All the people planted in Red Dragon and Bahal’s line were completely clean now.

But only the 81 Eyes were satisfied with this. The Summer Queen and Jang Wei weren’t content with just this.

However.

Jang Wei trusted the Summer Queen’s ‘intuition.’

The Draconic species were a species famed for their eyes, which could see the truth. The words of a descendant of the Draconic species would probably be right.

‘Although it seems like that intuition has been smothered now as well.’

Just where was he supposed to start?

Jang Wei ended the life of the player pleading below him and sat down in a chair near him, deep in thought.

He thought that the ‘mastermind’ behind all this had somehow aimed for some item and became involved with Bahal from there.

But did he think wrong?

If it wasn’t that it was for some item, but because of a personal grudge against Bahal, and they had gotten information about the item in that process…..

He thought it was unlikely, but he didn’t have any better theories.

And there were a lot of people who had grudges against Bahal. Among them, the most famous ones were…..

‘Arthia.’

Team Arthia was still impactful in Jang Wei’s memory. When he was acting as Bow God, he almost lost his life while battling against them.

Their members were few in number compared to the other large clans, but each person was strong enough to remain in his memory.

‘Although they were all blinded by greed and stabbed each other in the back.’

He knew that in that process, the members had become enemies.

Would it be related to this?

He didn’t have any evidence, but it thought it was worth trying. There wasn’t anyone who knew Bahal better than them, and they were all in influential positions in other clans.

But there was too much stuff he had to investigate. He would have to choose one person and go from there.

Jang Wei looked through the information window the Summer Queen gave to him, and he found something that stood out.

Teacher: Dwarf Henova

‘The Anvil of Fire Henova, one of the Five Artisans?’

He was one of the top artisans, but everyone turned their backs to him because of his relation with Arthia.

Jang Wei thought it would be best to start from there.

He started to look for information about their relationship.

***

Five hellhounds that were each about 2 meters tall came running at him.

They were extremely fierce and rough. Their hellfire was enough to turn the walls of the room black.

Most players would have suffered neurosis because of this but…..

‘They don’t get along with me.’

Yeon-woo ran holding his Carshina’s dagger, condensed with Aura, and caused an explosion with Holy Fire. A bit of black energy was mixed within it.

Feeling like all his attention was moving along with his blade, the different abilities he had combined as one. It was a power that focused energies like Aura and black energy into every single stroke. This was how he justified Bian.

And the condensed power created a powerful explosion. 3 of the hellhounds neatly broke, and the other 2 were crushed or severely injured.

The instant dungeon has shook up and down.

[You have successfully understood the 3rd Bian, ‘Swe.’]

[Currently learned Bian: Jul, Hon, Swe.

Yeon-woo was now clearing the 2nd door out of the 5.

During that time, Yeon-woo didn’t just focus on defeating the shadows. He put more attention on training the Bian.

‘It would be stupid to not use all these sparring partners.’

Yeon-woo was able to understand the 3rd Bian with all the training.

Hon supported him to learn the Bian, and Swe helped him to explode condensed energy to reduce his environment to nothing.

However, he didn’t get the efficiency he had had in the Monkey King’s Palace. Was it because he wasn’t as tense back then, or because he wasn’t influenced by the limits of the 20th floor?

But anyhow, Yeon-woo was able to understand two of them, and he was practicing them so they could be perfectly learned.

The first Bian, Jul, wasn’t completely familiar to him yet either, so he had to focus when he used it.

Swish!
