chapter 128
128. Invisible Gap (2)
I will face the black sky.
The elders were speechless at Catalina Blaga’s declaration.
Apart from perplexity, a question popped into every elder’s mind.
Why are you so obsessed with Kwon Wool?
Blood relatives of the Blaga family are inherently possessive. Catalina Blaga is even worse among them.
But she was a person who knew how much. Because of only one man, he was not a human who would be willing to go to war with Dark Heaven.
Anyway, I couldn’t just leave it like this. Going to war with Heukcheon was tantamount to committing suicide.
All the eyes of the elders were on Simon Blaga.
Because Simon Blaga was the only person who could convince Catalina Blaga here and now.
“Lady Catalina.”
Simon was aware of the elders’ expectations early on.
“As a blood relative of the Blaga family, I know very well how difficult it is to give up a treasure once acquired.”
Simon said in a calm tone. Catalina Blaga listened to him without speaking.
“But it is impossible for the Blaga family to wage war against the Black Heaven.”
Originally, the Blaga family was not a fighting family. It’s just a family that has maintained its position through information.
“If we mobilize all the connections the Blaga family has built up, it might be possible to match them. But even so, it won’t last long.”
“I should have already told you. I have no intention of sending Gwon-wool back.”
“What would you do if there was a way for me to prevent war and gain authority?”
Catalina Blaga’s eyebrows rose.
“Is that possible?”
“Lady Catalina, you seem to have forgotten. Who we are and how we have lived.”
Blaga family.
A family that has lived by seducing people, beasts, and monsters by using their own blood.
“After ruling Kwon Han-ul, I will send him back to Heukcheon. Wouldn’t it be better to persuade Kwon Seon-woo to stop the war and then issue an order to return when he sees an opportunity?”
Catalina Blaga’s eyebrows narrowed.
“If that’s possible, why would I stay still? Kwon Kwon-wool… … .”
“I know. Catalina Blaga’s temptation doesn’t work, right?”
Catalina Blaga clicked her tongue slightly. It seemed very disgraceful to not be able to capture Gwonwonul.
“But even if Lady Catalina’s temptation didn’t work, can’t we be different?”
Simon put his hand on his chest and said.
“My ‘humiliation’. If you use the ‘pain’ and ‘delusion’ of the other elders, you may be able to break Kwon-ul’s mental power and take control.”
Simon added.
“Even if you can’t control it, you can shake the mind. Then wouldn’t it be easy for Catalina-sama to rule the kingdom?”
Catalina Blaga did not speak. It seemed that he did not like the other elders intervening in Kwon-ul.
“… … great.”
But in the end, I gave permission.
* * *
“stop.”
After being led by Levitt, while overhearing the development of the war between Australian troops and rabbits in the 1850s, Troy shouted.
“I’m not here to hear bullsh*t about how humans and rabbits fought.”
“This is the fun part… … .”
Leaving the grouchy Levitt behind, Troy headed back to where Kwon Wol was.
In order to fulfill Catalina Blaga’s orders more reliably, I was planning to watch in front of Kwon Wol’s visit.
“Can I really not listen? Why did the rabbits, who put the quantity ahead, confront modern weapons without running away?”
“Stop the bullsh*t.”
Troy pushed the endlessly clinging Levitt over and over again and arrived at Kwon Kwon-ul’s room.
I was about to take a seat by the door and start watching.
Suddenly, the door opened.
“huh?”
The person who opened the door was Kwon Kwon-ul. Gwon-ul looked at Troy and said in surprise.
“Why are you here?”
“Didn’t you tell me? I will monitor you.”
Kwon Kwon-wool made a look that was awkward.
“Never mind me, do your thing.”
“How can you not care? He said he intends to follow me no matter what I do.”
“Yes. It’s already been decided. Let you adapt.”
It was an odd word indeed.
“Well, do whatever you want.”
Kwon-wool moved on. Troy chased after Kwon-ul and asked.
“Where are you going?”
“I want to go for a walk.”
A question came over Troy’s face. Because it was a random action.
However, Kwon Kwon-ul was really just walking around the mansion. Occasionally he toured the garden.
Troy followed Kwon-ul without a word.
It was then.
I felt a chill in my back bone. Troy reflexively looked back.
But there was no one behind.
Troy groaned and rubbed the back of his neck. Then I looked straight ahead again. Kwon Kwon-ul was making a puzzled expression.
“Why are you doing that all of a sudden?”
“… … It is nothing.”
Gwon-wool Troy shook his head. Even so, he continued to touch the back of his neck.
I couldn’t shake the ominous feeling.
Meanwhile, Troy continued to follow Gwon-ul.
Gwon-ul passed through the garden and headed to the back of the mansion.
* * *
“Are you sharp?”
After Troy left, Gwon-ul appeared in a corner of the garden.
“I didn’t know you would react so sensitively to hallucinations.”
The moment the ring was hung, Kwon Wool hid himself. What Troy was seeing right now was a hallucination.
“Ugh.”
I felt a sharp pain in both eyes. Gwon-ul touched his eyes with both hands.
“It’s not an ability to use for a long time.”
The reason Kwon Wol was able to place a fantasy on Cavalier Umbra, who was much better than himself.
That’s because thanks to Genius Blood, he was able to see where his mental barrier was weak.
Genius blood is a lineage that originally expands the area of the brain.
By being combined with the family member’s blood, the mental power of others can be confirmed with the naked eye.
Thanks to this, it became easier to use the authority of the clan, but the burden on the brain also increased.
“I have to move now.”
Although the duration of illusion is long, Troy cannot be fooled forever.
They had to make ends meet quickly before Troy noticed anything odd.
Kwon Wol left the garden and wandered around the estate of the Blaga family.
In case of emergency, everyone they encountered cast an illusion so that they could not see themselves. It was like being invisible.
“Let’s see, where the cargo ship docks… … .”
Gwon-ul Kwon went around the site and reconfirmed the geography and structure that he had learned only through maps. I checked the shortest distance from the mansion to the cargo ship.
After that, Kwon Wol went around and looked at the Blaga family.
Then it was time to get to the outskirts.
Kwon-wool reflexively stepped back. It was because he felt unusual energy from the cathedral built at a distance.
There wasn’t even a single target that radiated energy. Several people were mixed. Catalina Blaga was among them.
Illusion does not work on a target that exudes such intense energy.
I should have run away immediately, but on the contrary, curiosity reared its head.
In the end, Gwon-ul hid behind a tree and inspected the cathedral.
After looking around, the door of the cathedral was opened. A few people walked out from inside.
“Then will Simon step in first?”
Catalina Blaga was the first to be seen. Before long, a middle-aged man poked his head out.
“Yes, I will subdue Gwon-wool first.”
“Don’t be too harsh. If you get seriously hurt… … .”
“Let’s be careful.”
Saying that, the man called Simon started heading somewhere.
It was in the direction of the mansion that Gwon-ul was tied to.
Kwon-wool hurriedly left the place. I hurried my steps and returned to the mansion.
Troy was still wandering around the mansion following Kwon Kwon-ul’s hallucinations.
Seeing the opportunity, he swapped places with the fake Gwonwool that Troy was following. After that, he went into his room and waited.
Not long after waiting in the room, an attendant knocked on the door.
“Your guest is waiting in the drawing room.”
Kwon-wool headed to the drawing room of the mansion with the attendant.
The middle-aged man who was talking to Catalina Blaga was waiting for Kwon Kwon-wool.
“My name is Simon Blaga. The head of the Blaga family.”
Gwon-ul looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
A mustache trimmed one by one and a nice bowler hat were greetings.
It was a man who seemed to embody the word gentleman.
“My name is Gwonwool.”
“I already know. It is the true blood of the Heukcheon family.”
Simon looked at Kwon Wool with an interesting face. then said to him
“I have come to subdue you.”
Even after hearing Simon Blaga’s declaration, Gwon-wool did not take it seriously. Catalina Blaga couldn’t do anything about herself, so what could the other elders do?
“You seem to think that I can’t do anything about you.”
My stomach was hot. Kwon Kwon-ul said without expressing himself.
“To be honest, yes.”
“Catalina-sama couldn’t do anything to you, so it’s natural for her to have that much confidence.”
Then, Simon smiled. It looked very ominous.
“The human mind is so mysterious that it has a hard side like a rock and a weak side like water.”
Even though Catalina Blaga’s method didn’t work, he said that he would be different.
“Would you like to make a bet with me?”
Kwon-wool reacted to the word bet. There weren’t many people in the world who liked to gamble enough to recommend it.
“What bet?”
“Your main specialty is martial arts, isn’t it?”
“Yes, but.”
“You’re going to have a fight with me with kwonbeop.”
Gwon-ul made an impression.
Simon Blaga’s hands were as smooth and clean as if they had never been wet with water.
It was not at all the hand of the guru. But now, let’s fight with kwonbeop?
“If you put even one finger on my body, it will be your victory. How is it?”
Even the victory conditions are even a little bit touchy?
“I don’t know what you’re thinking… … Don’t regret it later, change it to another bet.”
“Aren’t you confident?”
At the provocative words, Kwon-wool’s expression distorted.
“I heard that Heukcheon is the family of a guru. I guess I was wrong. It was a family of cowards.”
“Be careful with your words.”
Kwon Wol’s voice sank. He is also a descendant of the Black Sky. He couldn’t be happy to hear words that blasphemed his family.
“If not, let me prove it myself.”
“great.”
Simon’s mouth went up at Kwon-wool’s answer.
“Then shall we begin right away?”
“You mean here?”
“why? Need time to prepare? Then I’ll give it to you as much as you like.”
Gwonwool laughed softly. This too was a provocation. A provocation that you have no choice but to be caught knowingly.
“Just get started.”
“That’s a good life… … .”
Before he could finish his words, Kwon Kwon-wool threw out his fist. It was an attack that perfectly penetrated the gap.
However, Simon caught Gwon-wool’s fist very easily.
“You have an impatient personality.”
Gwonwool withdrew his fist and tried to launch a second attack.
At that moment, I felt a shock in my stomach. Kwon-ul’s body flew backwards and hit the wall.
“Kuk.”
Gwon-wool grabbed the boat and stood up. I looked up and saw Simon Blagat standing in the middle of the drawing room.
“You’re not going to give up right away, are you?”
Gwonwool’s head turned quickly.
‘Could I have been hiding my skills?’
denied right away. Kwon Kwon-ul can look at the level of the target from various angles through numerous lineages.
Simon Blaga is not a guru. There is not an inch of error in that judgment.
‘Did I press it with my ability?’
Denied this too. Simon Blaga suggested that we fight only with martial arts. And with that said, the counterattack he showed just before was excellent.
‘A person who is not a master of martial arts is using perfect martial arts.’
Unbelievable things are happening.
‘… … hallucination?’
Suddenly, such a thought popped into Kwon-ul’s head. Cheonjehyeol and Gwonsokhyeol were activated at the same time.
Only then could Kwon-ul see it.
The authority of the family members surrounding Simon Blaga’s body.
“You look like a frightened bastard just standing still.”
Simon said with a smile. Kwon Kwon-ul’s eyes grew colder.
Kicking off the ground, he rushed at Simon Blaga.
At that moment, the power of Simon Blaga attacked Gwonwool.
A hallucination unfolded before Kwon-wool’s eyes.
The hallucination turned into Simon Blaga. He blocked Kwon Wol’s fist and hit his chin. Kwon Kwon-ul was shocked and stepped back.
The hallucinations dissipated, and the real Simon Blaga sneered.
“It’s the same attack. Isn’t it fun?”
Gwonwool also laughed.
The feel of the hand and the impact on the face were real, but they were all fake.
“I understand now.”
