Chapter 294 – The Lost Octopus – PLAYER WHO RETURNED 10,000 YEARS LATER

Chapter 294 – The Lost Octopus

From the outstretched forefinger came a black haze. Kang Woo looked down at his ring, which was vibrating slightly.

“It has been doing this recently.”

The ring began to change gradually from the moment Kang Woo fulfilled one of the conditions of the path of becoming a Devil Lord – “Chaos”. Perhaps this was because Kang Woo practically digested the Avichi of the Great, or maybe for another reason. He didn’t know this, but he’s seen a similar ring reaction over the past few months.

“Probably good.”

The number of Powers that he could simultaneously use to create the ring grew, making it easier to use. Although, of course, it was a pity that he could not use the excellent equipment with the ring.

“I wonder what else is it capable?” – Kang Woo looked down at the ring.

The ring can take the form of almost any weapon, although there were limitations.

“And it can also devour Avichi.”

If you collect the forces of all seven Great Ones, then this ring will become the most powerful weapon in the whole world, capable of even creating a split.

– What will it turn into…

Kang Woo believed that the reward that can be obtained for completing tasks on the path to becoming a Devil Overlord is hidden for a reason.

– One way or another…

At the moment, Kang Woo was happy that the ring was able to to devour the Magi imprisoned in Avichi. And now he could not do anything to quickly find out the secret hidden by the ring. So he just had to wait.

Kang Woo once again looked at the ring, from which a slight black haze emanated, and took a mug from the table coffee.

– Favorite?

He heard a knock and went to open the door, behind which he saw Lilith smiling broadly. She bowed slightly and went into the room.

– What is it?

– I came to report what I could learn from Jason, – she held out several sheets of paper.

The names of the politicians involved in the latter case were written on them. It turned out that not a single state remained on the sidelines.

– Too much…

– Given that the Guardians are involved, things get more complicated.

– Just one organization is too strong.

Guardians are not even a country, but just Players, gathered into one organization and endowed with special rights.

– However… – Kang Woo looked up from the papers and continued: – Having special rights is necessary to prepare for what happens next.

No, they even need to get stronger so that Players can stop the interference in the earthly affairs of creatures from other worlds, which has become more pronounced.

– Haha! – Lilith laughed.

She bowed politely and said:

– Don’t worry. I will make the whole world bow their heads before you.

– I don’t need this, so you don’t have to try – he shook his head negatively.

He didn’t want to do something so tedious. The world should bow not to him, but to the Guardians, and it is Si Hoon who should contribute to this. But nothing will come of it if he is trailing somewhere behind.

“Meanwhile, I am moving further away from my dreams.”

Take at least today: he just got up and started sorting documents in the morning.

The guy sighed at the realization that his dream of being rich and unemployed is getting further and further. If it were his will, he would spend whole days lying next to his beloved and doing nothing.

– What state is Valencia in?

– Si Hoon took a squad of Heavenly Wolves and controls the streets of the city. They catch the Guardians who harass the local residents, and in a month they are going to send them to court.

– It will be difficult to collect evidence.

Valencia has not yet had enough surveillance cameras. And if he hopes to sue them, then irrefutable evidence must be provided. Nobody will believe the barefaced accusations, and it doesn’t matter if Si Hoon is against them or who, because they can say that they are not guilty in the same way.

– Ha, well, at least the tears of the victims will serve as evidence against them, – Lilith laughed.

By her intonation it was clear that she would help him win the case by any means.

Kang Woo smiled bitterly and nodded.

– Then pass this list to Si Hoon.

Si Hoon and Grace have been dealing with all the main matters of the Guardians lately. And in order for Si Hoon to become even stronger, it is necessary to increase his level of awareness and influence, which Kang Woo did on the sly.

“We need to make him tougher.”

Make people fear and respect Si Hoon without daring to contradict him.

“We’ll have to take some time.”

This means that while Si Hoon is catching all the villains, and Kang Woo will have something to do.

“Time to create rules.”

This will reduce the number of lousy things the Guardians do. If it were his will, he would simply impose reprisals over violators, as it was in Hell, but given that he is on Earth, this option is not suitable.

“This time I’ll need help.”

And the person who first found out about what happened will help him in Valencia and felt a sense of guilt for this, namely – Gaia. Although she wanted to do it alone, Kang Woo understood that there are not five or ten people in the Guardians, which means that she will not be able to keep track of everyone. Since he was already setting the rules in Hell, he knew roughly how to do it. He also understood perfectly well that it would be easier for the two of them to work together in this matter.

“We also need to ask for help and Yeon Joo and Jung Moo Jin.”

In fact, even two of them won’t be enough to keep track of such a large organization as the Guardians, but to start with something- then you need only a few people. And Kang Woo was the most confident in those two.

– And I have more news.

– Did something happen? – Kang Woo asked in surprise.

– Yes, in Seoul… traces of Magi were found.

– What?. – Kang Woo narrowed his eyes.

– Although the footprints are quite dim, having studied them, one can understand that someone walked around the city.

– Hmm, – Kang Woo folded his arms over his chest.

Given that they dealt with the Infernal Teachers, this did not happen quite enough long ago.

– It seems that some hellish creature got out of the Gate.

– Yes, I think so too.

Because of the Infernal Teachers, the system protecting the Earth is too weak for this to happen. Recently, even the Hellhound for Players has become a common monster and now they are simply divided into those who contain a magic stone and not.

So, most likely, this is just a creature like that got out of the Gate.

“This happens quite often lately.”

Lilith has already mentioned several times about the Magi’s tracks outside the Gate. But she wouldn’t report it separately.

“The problem is that footprints were seen in the city.”

Due to the fact that a hellish creature roamed the city, a large number of victims could appear. Considering that Si Hoon lives in Seoul, as well as the rest of the Guardians occupying important positions in the organization, they carefully followed what was happening in the city. If several people were killed, Kang Woo would not care, but now is not the right time to make a fuss.

– Need figure it out.

– Heh, then I’ll do it.

– I’m counting on you.

Si Hoon was in Valencia, and he and Gaia and Yong Joo was to discuss the rules that the Guardians would follow. So now Lilith will be most effective. She has extraordinary skills and certainly knows how to deal with hellish creatures.

“Yes, trust me,” she laughed.

She clenched her fists and exhaled through her nose as Echidna usually does.

Kang Woo smiled bitterly.

“So you can’t hate her.”

The fact was that he tried to keep his distance between them due to her terrible appearance, but on the other hand, he could not hate her from -for this behavior.

– And after this case is over, will we also go on a journey?

Kang Woo immediately frowned. He remembered the journey he had awarded Lilith for doing hard work. Then they spent time at the famous hot springs in Japan.

He couldn’t speak a word and his face turned pale.

– Kang Woo, is everything okay? Lilith asked with concern in her voice and stroked his back.

Although she looked like Kurosaki Yuri, in her true form her every touch caused disgust.

– Everything… everything is fine. Let’s postpone the trip for now. Too much to do, and I promised Han Seol something too.

– Yes? – she looked sad, but nodded.

Hearing about Han Sol, her gaze disappeared.

– Sorry…

At this moment, the door to the room opened and Han Seol dropped in. She was holding a whole tray of delicious-looking fruit in her hands.

– You have a meeting? Eat some fruit.

– Oh, thank you, darling.

Kang Woo looked at the girl like a ray of light in the darkness and, smiling, walked over and took the fruit tray.

Seeing Kang Woo’s reaction like this, Lilith frowned. She put her hand on her chest. For some reason, she felt pain inside.

“To me… – tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. “He never smiled at me like that.”

It was the first time she felt something like this, and this feeling burned her from the inside. Lilith shook her head.

“What are you thinking?”

Isn’t she his legal wife?

She still understood the oath he had made in Hell.

“Really…”

A doubt crept into her mind, but did he forget about this oath. Lilith bit her lip and shook her head.

“It can’t be.”

Didn’t he scream with happiness during his last trip to be touched by her experienced tentacles? It was too rude to assume that the Master does not love her.

“Still…” She pouted her lips.

She wanted Kang Woo to show a little more interest in her.

– Well, then I’ll go.

– Why? Help yourself to fruit.

– Oh, isn’t it in my best interest to catch the hellish creature faster and get a reward? She waved her hand slightly and left the room.

The door closed.

– Uh-uh-uh… – Lilith breathed out.

Thoughts were confused.

“Now is not the time for this.”

She wasn’t in a hurry to get Kang Woo’s love. She was worried that the footprints that had appeared a few days ago had already enveloped the whole of Seoul. If this continues, an accident could happen at any moment.

“It feels like he’s looking for something…” – Lilith narrowed her eyes and went to the exit.

***

– What did you say?. – Kang Woo’s face was filled with rage.

Pallock was kneeling in front of him. He lowered his head and bit his lip with force.
