As if it was letting its presence known, it stood up right in the middle of his head .

Although the size wasn’t big, it seemed like it changed along with his hair color .

‘Goblin King . ’

As Muyoung looked at himself from the Status Viewer, a sudden thought came to him .

Only the Goblin King could have this type of horn and white hair .

For a moment, Muyoung was lost in his thoughts .

Was it because he became Asura’s Vassal which could be said as the peak of all devils?

His current appearance was too eye catching .

If he went out like this, it would attract attention .

A few groups would try to figure out what skills he learned in the Sky Library and there was a highly likely chance that a problem would occur in the process .

But, no matter how hard he pressed on his horn, it wouldn’t go in .

‘I might figure something out if I use Asura Path . ’

The Six Paths was the reason for this change .

As of now, Muyoung could only use ‘Asura Path’ .

He could only move to the world of crazy spirits and devils .

However, it didn’t seem like it was possible to use it now .

‘I need a catalyst . ’

He instinctively knew .

That a spirit . Or a devil was needed .

And Muyoung knew a place which had one of the two .

The low ranked room and the mid-ranked room!

The shadows in that place were considered as spirits .

“Mister… It is you, right?”

Before he knew it, Suzy cautiously asked after learning ‘Lineage of Light’ .

Looking at Suzy’s cautiousness, Muyoung coldly answered .

“From now, go out alone . ”

“Me, alone?”

Muyoung gazed into Suzy’s eyes .

First, he was planning to do whatever he could in the 3-day time frame he was given .

So, it wasn’t good for Suzy to be with him .

As the skill was out of the ordinary, Muyoung was unsure if he would be able to control its destructive nature like the Avengers and would destroy everything around him .

And most importantly…

Muyoung had already achieved all his goals in the Great City .

Instead of going out and making people suspicious, it might be better to have them think he was dead and use the Long-distance Teleportation Magical Item .

Since the investigation about Fire Dragon Woo was going to end soon, there was a high chance that it would waste his time .

There was a chance he would get chased by large groups one after another if he didn’t straighten things out including his appearance .

“Mister . You’re not going anywhere, right?”

Suzy couldn’t hide the anxiety in her voice as she spoke but Muyoung pointed his finger towards a place .

“If you go towards the middle of the clock tower, you will be summoned out of the Sky Library . Wait for me outside . ”

A perfect clock tower stood surrounded by other clocks .

That was the exit . The door that was only set up in the top-ranked room .

“Must I really go?”

“Go . ”

Suzy’s eyes were filled with tears as Muyoung heartlessly cast her away .

“I’m sorry I was surprised earlier . I won’t bother you and just have my mouth shut . I will walk stealthily like a cat too . ”

Muyoung frowned .

It seemed like Suzy realized that Muyoung was planning on leaving her .

However, Suzy’s reaction was a bit unexpected .

The time they had spent together was only a bit more than a month .

And it wasn’t like Muyoung was good to her .

Muyoung only gave back what he received .

Like compensating for the amount of work .

He didn’t show any favoritism or affection . He didn’t even know how to give those .

He never expected that what he gave would give him trust and affection in return .

At least for Muyoung, those two words were very unfamiliar to him .

“From now on, I won’t cry and work harder . I will work harder so…”

Suzy bit her lips .

She thought that with Muyoung’s personality, he wouldn’t like to see her cry .

And this was a reasonable reaction in her position .

The only person who accepted her father and herself .

He was the first person to acknowledge her when everyone else avoided them thinking they would only be a bother .

Muyoung was the one who appeared like a hero in most perilous situations .

Muyoung was an existence greater than a savior, a rock, an idol and hero to Suzy .

There was a time when she thought he might have been a god .

He knew everything . He had the answers to everything . And all those things saved Suzy’s life . He was close a guardian .

She was unable to suppress her feelings of sadness when she felt like her guardian was leaving her .

Muyoung gave her a talisman .

“Take this . ”

“This…”

“It’s the talisman of Emperor of the Shrewmice . ”

The Emperor of the Shrewmice, Kking Kking .

It did help in its own way but after learning the skills here, there wasn’t much use for it anymore .

He could do most things that Kking Kking could with an undead . It was a thing that he didn’t want even though it wasn’t as useful .

Suzy wiped her tears and looked at Muyoung

“You must return this to me . Since I treasure this a lot . ”

“…”

“Wait for me outside . ”

After receiving the talisman, Suzy looked back and forth at Muyoung and the talisman before she firmly nodded as if she had resolved herself .

Eventually, she started to move her legs and walk towards the clock tower .

While she walked, she didn’t forget to constantly turn around to look back at Muyoung .

“If you don’t come, I will throw it away . ”

She firmly spoke before she passed through the door .

The surrounding instantly became completely quiet .

‘Consideration . ’

Muyoung chuckled as he thought of that word .

Although he believed that all his emotions had died off after living as a puppet for 40 years, it seemed like that wasn’t so .

As if parts of his nature that were sealed for 40 years were starting to pop out little by little…

Maybe he was a person with a bit of consideration for others before he was kidnapped by the Forest of Death .

What he did for a living and with what kind of mindset he had lived his day to day life .

He was curious but that was all .

No matter how hard he tried, nothing came to his mind .

It was like a wind he could never grasp .

Muyoung then shook his head .

‘Potential to become a hero . ’

Like Taehwan, Suzy also had the potential to become a hero .

However, as she was still too young he didn’t have high hopes for her .

It was easy for someone so young to change .

Her consciousness wouldn’t have been fully developed yet .

Therefore, it was hard to figure her out with just one or two months .

There was a high chance that she could turn out to be a completely different person as she gotten older .

It was because unlike Taehwan who could think and walk his own path as an adult, Suzy was at an age where she was weak to surrounding temptations .

‘Anyone will be tempted . ’

A top-ranked skill and a secret class!

Especially, the Valkyrie of Dawn melted the surrounding people’s hearts .

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t stop it .

It was like an awl in his pocket .

If he wasn’t going to stay beside her and protect her forever, it was right to just leave her .

Since he was busy to move on his own, he didn’t have time to take care of her .

But, for that slight chance that it could happen, he decided to invest .

It really wasn’t much of an investment but…

‘We all need to walk our own path . ’

Even if she would walk a different path than Muyoung, he could only hope that she wouldn’t walk the path the established people in the Underworld did .

If they steadily walk their own path, they would meet someday .

He shook his head and cleared his thoughts .

‘Let’s go . ’

It was time to make his last inspection .

The shadow spirits in the mid-ranked room quickly approached Muyoung as they discovered him .

As he looked at the shadow spirits, his eyes turned white and they unexpectedly became ghastly .

‘Come . ’

Muyoung already knew how to handle spirits and devils .

He didn’t avoid the spirit that was approaching him and grabbed hold of it with his hand .

Surprisingly, the shadow spirit trembled when it was grabbed by Muyoung .

Slurp!

As he placed it inside his mouth, the spirit got sucked in .

Gahhhhhhhhhh!

The spirit inside his body started to go berserk .

Muyoung’s body was connected to one of the six worlds, ‘Asura Path’ .

It was a world that would make a weak spirit instantly go crazy .

‘Asura Path didn’t completely become mine . I need to increase the number of spirits and devils little by little to rule over them . ’

As the spirit went crazy, Muyoung could slowly confirm the specifics of Asura Path .

There were already a lot of spirits and devils in Asura Path but they did not listen to his command .

He felt their wills were not willing to listen to a weak Asura’s words .

The only way to rule over them was to increase Muyoung’s own formless monsters and prove his power .

And other paths would be available once he conquered the Asura Path .

Muyoung continued to absorb all the spirits until he met a steel doll .

‘I can see it . ’

He could clearly see the spirit controlling the steel doll .

It was a spirit a class higher than the shadow spirits .

However, the steel dolls didn’t attack an enemy that was alone .

That condition was a chance for Muyoung .

It was similar to finding gold while walking down the street .

Muyoung didn’t hesitate and stretched out his hand to absorb even the spirit of the steel doll .

Crack! Craaack!

At the same time, the steel doll cracked and broke apart as it collapsed .

‘Find them . ’

Following Muyoung’s order, the spirits that he had already eaten until now popped out .

They didn’t have any siblings .

Instantly, they spread out to search for the rest of the spirits .

The Death Lord allowed him to handle dead bodies . He wasn’t able to handle monsters that were spirit types .

And so, Muyoung was able to make all the spirits in the mid-ranked room his in less than 2 hours .

All he did was absorb all the spirits but it was acknowledged as his win .

Then, a black armor made from an unknown material appeared .

It felt more like a leather clothing than an armor but to know what it really was, Muyoung’s eyes focused onto his Status Viewer .

Name: Shadow Armor

Rank: B+

Classification: Equipable Type

Durability: 12,358

Effect: It allows you to teleport to a shadow within your vision 3 times a day .

The armor Muyoung was wearing right now was the ‘Herculean Strength Leather Armor’ .

He was using it because it increased his strength by 3 and had decent durability but it was low rank .

When he wasn’t able to find something to replace it… a much better equipment appeared .

Shadow Teleportation!

He basically gained three chances a day to sneak up on an opponent and cut their necks off .

‘This is good . ’

It was an equipment every assassin dreamed of .

Not only that but it seemed like he could use it well in dangerous situations .

The slightly low durability was a flaw but it wasn’t bad at all .

Without any delay, Muyoung took off his Herculean Strength Leather Armor and put on the Shadow Armor .

Afterwards, as he was about to move to the low ranked room, he was able to detect people moving from a far .

In the middle was Horus .

As his path was once blocked by the steel dolls, he seemed to have gathered more people from the low ranked room .

Horus stood in his spot for a while as he looked at Muyoung .

“You…”

Then a smile appeared slowly on Horus’s lips .

“Ha! I wasn’t able to recognize you for a while as your appearance had changed . It seems like you have learned a high ranked skill . ”

Horus was certain that the change in Muyoung’s appearance was due to a skill he learned in the high ranked room .

It was because he felt a certain ghastliness emitting from Muyoung .

Just thinking about how good a top-ranked skill would make him feel good .

However, Horus didn’t know .

That Muyoung had already gone to the top ranked room and was on his way down . And the fact that Suzy already took the ‘Lineage of Light’ skill .

Horus’s lips wiggled unpleasantly .

“Good that we ran into you . You dare to steer all the steel dolls and try to kill me?”

Horus’s eyes flared up .

He made a resolution that he will kill Muyoung when he saw him again and that chance came quickly .

Blaze!

Blazing wings appeared from Horus’s back .

He took out a sword made of light . He was truly a soldier of the Sun .

In reality, Horus had the most outstanding abilities among the numerous rising stars of the Sun guild .

He was young but it wasn’t weird to call him a soldier .

Confident he was surely going to win .

That smirk that looked down on Muyoung .

Horus continued to mock him .

“Never ever will you die in peace . You bastard . ”

Horus started to move .

No, when Muyoung noticed Horus had moved, he was already right in front of him .

‘Got you!’

Even if the user had learned a high ranked skill, the user was unable to use it properly if he lacked the ability .

It would be boring to finish him with one swift strike but it couldn’t be helped by the overwhelming difference in skills .

And when Horus was certain of his win .

Sahhhhhhh!

Horus’s blade slightly changed its course accompanied by an unrecognizable sound .

Muyoung just stood still but the sword only brushed past him .

“Huh…?”

He couldn’t hit a target right in front of him?

That wasn’t possible .

A sound escaped his mouth as he was taken back .

As he turned his doubtful eyes, a small smile appeared on Muyoung’s lips .

‘It looks like I can use it this way as well . ’
