‘How?’

How could Pavian be here?

‘And why?’

Why on earth did he come here? Watching Looking at Pavian running towards him, Soo Hyuk felt a bit embarrassed .

“Did you get hurt?”

As soon as he arrived, Pavian started to inspect Soo Hyuk’s body . After taking a look at him, Pavian stood straight and let out a sigh of relief .

“Fortunately, I don’t see any injuries . ”

Saying that, Pavian let out a smile .

“How did you get here?”

Looking at the man in front of him, Soo Hyuk asked . He was wondering why he was here and what his purpose was . what his purpose was to be here .

“Oh, it’s because . ”

Pavian opened his mouth to answer the question .

***

Inside Kale’s room in the tower situated near the dock .

“…Uunderground waterways?”

Kale, who was reading the report, narrowed his eyes .

“Well, that’s strange . ”

Kale shook his head and let out a laugh .

“Hadrac is a big city…”

Hadrac, a big city, mostly known for mercenaries . The report was about detailed with the reports on how Chimeras were creating havoc in the Hadrac’s underground waterways .

“This is supposed to be a sample . ”

Reading the report, Kale turned to his left, towards his left and focusingsed on the transparent bottles near him .

Each contained various different samples, including the skin of the chimera .

Squirm!

Kale began to examine the samples .

“Oh ho . ”

Kale, who was checking the samples, couldn’t help but express his admiration .

“It’s powerful . ”

While examining, he found a bit of poison remaining onwas left from the sample . The poison left by the species was admirably powerful to the extent that Kale, the head of the Tower of Poison let out a praise .

“I think I’ll have to check it out myself . ”

Though a request for assistance did come from Hadrac . They hadn’t thought much about it, however,But with this level of poison, he felt like he needed to step up .

It was just then .

Knock! Knock!

“Sire, this is Reinkar . ”

It was Reinkar, a first-class mage, who came looking for the master of the tower .

“Come in . ”

Upon the command, Reinkar entered the room . His face was full of urgency . Looking at his empty hands meant that he had rushed down to report something .

“What’s going on?”

Kale asked .

“That’s…”

Reinkar stuttered immediately blurted out at the sudden question . He had to organize his thoughts before he could report, sensibly . It was not the time for him to get lost in his thoughts, so Reinker pulled himself together thenand said .

“Soo Hyuk as of now is in the Underground Waterways . ”

“…So?”

Listening to the verbal report, Kale narrowed his eyes .

“Soo Hyuk?”

“Yes . ”

“Do you mean that underground waterways where the chimeras are creating havoc?”

“Yes, sir . Rhino, the Branch Manager in Hadrac, reported so . ”

As the report said, Soo Hyuk right now must be inat the underground waterways ofin Hadrac . Rhino did suggest he take their help, but he firmly refused . So, with no other option, Rhino returned back to the branch…

By the end of his report, Reinker finally looked at Kale .

“…I understand . Go out . ”

Kale, who was deep in thought,dismissed him once he finished the report after the report dismissed him . SAnd so, with a bow, Reinkar left the room .

“So, you are in the underground waterways…”

Lowering his head, he looked at the samples . The samples consisted of the very powerful poison from the chimeras based in the underground waterways .

“Okay . ”

Kale, who was once busy while fascinatingly observinglooking at the samples, got up from his seat at once . Leaving his room, Kale headed towards Pavian’s chambersroom .

Knock! Knock!

“Spiremaster! It’sThis is Kale!”

When he reached the destination, Kale started to shout while knocking .

“Enter . ”

Hearing the loud ruckus outside, Pavian let Kale enter the room; upon . And hearing the words, Kale right away entered the room right away .

“What’s going on?”

Pavian, who was concocting various poison inside, stopped as soon as he saw Kale had entered the room .

“We’ve got a problem . ”

Answering Pavian’s question, Kale went straight to the point .

“Problem?”

“Yes, it’s about Soo Hyuk . ”

“What’s the situation?”

“Soo Hyuk is in the underground waterways in Hadrac . ”

“Underground waterways? Why is that a problem? Oh, the chimeras?”

Pavian askedsaid, knowing the situation in Hadrac .

“Yes, and here’s the sample of those chimeras . ”

Kale handed the sample to Pavian . Checking the sample, Pavian’s face was hardened .

“If you look at the poison remaininged in the sample–”

Looking at Pavian’s stiff expression, Kale opened his mouth .

“Wait . ”

But he was cut off by Pavian .

“This poison here, are you sure it’s from the chimeras of the underground waterways?”

Pavian continued .

“…Yyeah . ”

Kale nodded, suspicion filled in his voice .

“That’s a very big deal . ”

Pavian answered Kale’s uncertain nod .

“Ramos, that little rat . This poison . ”

“Huh? Ramos?”

Kale was surprised with the name that came out of Pavian’s mouth .

“Yes, this poison is definitely his creation . Obviously, this poison is to kill me . A bit enhanced but I am sure, it’s his . ”

How can he forget this poison? Though the sampled one is a bit stronger, it evidently belonged to Ramos .

“Did you say Hadrac’s Underground Waterways?”

PFavbian asked .

“Yes, are you thinking of going there?”

Kale answered him back with another question .

“Yes, because I have no clue what Ramos is up too . Soo Hyuk might be in danger . ”

They didn’tdon’t know what Ramos could do . Saying that Pavian left his chambersroom, heading straight towards Hadrac .

Upon arriving in HadracWhen they arrived at Hadrac, Pavian wasted no time and headed towards the branch tower .

“Who are you?”

The mage, who was in charge of the entrance, asked .

Pavian took out his token from his sleeves, and showed the mage, providing the proof needed to enter the tower .

“Haa!”

Inspecting the token, the mage was so shocked he jumped out of his seat .

“O-Oh my god, I am meeting the Spiremaster himself . ”

He was shockedso surprised, onlyhe somehow stammeringed out a few words . Soon, anxiety dawned upon the mage .

In fact, even if it was someone else in his shoes, they would have felt the same . Without any notice, the big boss himself came to the branch office, it was natural to be worried .

Not knowing their Spiremaster’s face, wasn’t the young mage’s fault . Not many in the tower knew the face of their Master .

So, it was quite natural for him, as a mage of athe branch tower, not to recognize the face .

“Can you take me to the branch manager?”

Pavian didn’t mind such treatment either . But right now, he had a much more important matter to attend .

“Yes! I’ll take you now do so . ”

The mage shuffled into the toweron his own feet and, quickly leadingled them towards the branch manager’s office . But, soon his guidance was cut short .

Tadak!

It was because Rhino ran over .

The young mage, who suddenly was relieved of the great pressure of leading Pavian, bid his farewells, and returned to his post at the entrance . The young mage, who suddenly had such pressure on him, that was to guide Pavian, greeted his farewell and returned back to his post at the entrance .

“Welcome Spiremaster . ”

Rhino bowed as soon as he arrived in front of Pavian .

“Long time no see . ”

Pavian answered Rhino’s greeting .

“Ever since that day, today must be the first time . ”

In such words, Rhino was dumbfounded .

“I have a thing to ask . ”

HearingSeeing the silence coming from the other side, Pavian, took out the sample that contained the chimera’s poisons and asked .

“Take a look if it’s Ramos’ poison . ”

Rhino was surprised .

“Perhaps…”

Pavian continued to stare at Rhino, being scared Rhino quickly opened his mouth to clarify .

“No, never!”

“Okay . ”

Pavian smiled at Rhino’s answer . Even though the smile was calm and warm, it contained no apology for doubting him . Though Rhino was angered by such behavior and lack of apology, his position didn’t allow him to lash out at Pavian . A smile even if it was calm and warm, it contained no sorriness for doubting him . Though Rhino was angry at such behaviour and with no apology, his position didn’t allow him to lash out at Pavian .

But he couldn’t do anything, though it was not intentional, the crime he committed couldn’tcannot be washed away .

“I need to get to the underground waterway . You’ll have to guide us . ”

“…I understand . ”

***

“That’s what happened and so, here I am . ”

Pavian’s endless explanation finished was over .

“Oh…”

After hearing the entire storyall the stories, Soo Hyuk let out a sigh .

“Then Ramos, that man…”

Just as Soo Hyukbegan speaking was about to speak, his questionwords waswere cut off by PFavbian .

“He is not a man . ”

Thinking that Ramos didn’t deserve any respect to be called by his name . It was better to name him ‘the man’ .

“Ok, so where were we . Yes, so the reason you are here is because of the man who tried to kill the Spiremaster thenand ran away after failing his failed attempt, came here to do his experiments? . ”

Soo Hyuk who carefully placed his words this time, called out to Pavian .

“Pavian . ”

“Oh, yes, right . But that’s the second reason! The first reason being you!”

PFavbian replied with a nod .

“But I was worried for nothing . You’ve already destroyed three circles . ”

Now, Pavian went on about how it was unnecessary to worry about Soo Hyuk for his part . Soo Hyuk was much stronger than he expected and Ramos’ preparation was weaker than his expectation .

Everything would have been fine, even if he didn’t come for help, Pavian thought .

‘What the hell are you up to? Chimera Summoning Magic Circle . Were you trying to do a massacre?’

Though, he wasn’t required here . Pavian can’t say the journey wasn’t fruitful, he got a lot of information abouton the magic circles before destroying them .

“Spiremaster!”

It was Soo Hyuk who called him .

“Huh?”

Pavian, who was momentarily lost in his thoughts, answered Soo Hyuk’s call .

“Can you leave the remaining Magic Circle to me?”

The reason why Soo Hyuk called Pavian was to destroy the remaining magic circle on his own .

‘I can’t let you have it . ’

To be exact, the one who destroyed the place becomes the new owner . So, it didn’t matter if Pavian is the one who destroys it .

‘But I need to level up my experience . ’

Though the magic circles didn’t matter . The chimeras did, . aAnd the main reason why he couldn’tthey can’t give up on the chimeras was all because of the experience .

“Huh? The Magic Circle?”

“Yes, I’m trying to gain some experience by killing the chimeras . ”

“Oh, if that’s the case . I don’t think it would be that dangerous . ”

PFavbian nodded, understanding what he meant . Upon hearing Pavian’s reply, Soo Hyuk, who was worried about beingPavian’s refusedal, was relieved .

“Then I’ll head back to the branch . When it’s over, stop by the branch!”

Pavian commentedsaid that before heading out .

“Yes . ”

Soo Hyuk knew he couldn’t say no, so histhe answer was already set . Hearing his answer, Pavian with his small team disappeared from their sight .

As soon as Pavian’s disappearance, Soo Hyuk turned back to the Koma Guild who was silently staring at him .

Perhaps, they were still in shock seeing how Pavian vanished into thin air .

In Pangaea, there are a few particularly famous places . Filled with famous NPCs that were famous among the other NPCs, the tower belonged to that particular categoryplace . And with Pavian, being one of the most famous NPCs out there . It was also natural for them to be puzzled, suddenly an infamous NPC appeared in front of them .

Soo Hyuk smiled at the four pairs of eyes staring at him and said .

“Let’s go . ”
