Chapter 545

A few days later.

"Jihun-nim."

"Hm?"

Kim Jihun, who was playing a mobile game while lounging on the bed, looked up at Mia's call.

"I'm leaving today. A new elf will come to guard you."

"Uh... why? I'm comfortable with you, Mia."

Although elves were dispatched as secretaries and guards,

From a half-elf's perspective, it was honestly similar to having a superior closely monitoring them 24 hours a day.

At least from Kim Jihun's standpoint, he had become accustomed to Mia over the past few days.

"Orders came down from the Colonial Government. All male half-elves, not just you, will have guards. Elves dispatched from headquarters."

"Ah... So it's not just me, but all other male half-elves too."

"Yes. And those kids might be a bit inflexible. I ask for your understanding in advance."

"I see... Well, it's a shame anyway."

Inflexible, she said.

What kind of elf would that be?

"Then there will be a few hours gap after I return, so be careful during that time."

"Well, I'm... just at home or the guild, what danger could there be?"

"That's true."

Unlike other male half-elves, Kim Jihun was essentially a homebody.

Especially since the Daegi Guild, the only place he went to work, was inside the Sword Palace building.

He hadn't even gone outside the building for the past few days.

"Well then, Jihun-nim. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again."

"Uh... yeah, thanks for your hard work."

Mia bowed her head lightly, then opened a portal and disappeared.

'Does this mean the Governor's close monitoring is over?'

She still stayed for 3 days, though.

'Well, she probably left some surveillance magic active... but that kind of thing is easy to distort.'

It was just that he hadn't touched the elf Mia because she was the Governor.

The magic she cast could be easily distorted.

Snap.

As Seong Jihan snapped his fingers once.

[The Sacred Flame distorts the surveillance magic.]

[1 Stat Red is consumed.]

The scene visible through the surveillance magic was redrawn by the Sacred Flame.

This way, no matter what he did inside,

It would normally show Kim Jihun just being an unemployed slacker.

When going out, it would be automatically adjusted.

'Since it's distorting the other party's surveillance magic, the consumption is low.'

After Seong Jihan ended his cohabitation with the colonial Governor like that,

He left Kim Jihun's body and went up to the penthouse.

In the living room of the house he arrived at,

Yoon Seah was sitting on the sofa, touching a system window.

"Oh, Uncle! I guess the elf left?"

"Yeah, it was annoying."

"I was surprised too. I was going to come over, but there was an elf."

Yoon Seah pondered as she said this.

"But that one didn't seem ordinary. She pretended to be an elf on the outside, but it felt like she was hiding her power."

"She's the colonial Governor."

"Go-Governor? Does the Governor have nothing better to do? Why was she sticking to you, Uncle?"

"Apparently, her intuition kicked in because Kim Jihun's awakening coincided with the appearance of the Red Administrator."

"What the..."

The Governor personally attached herself for that reason?

As Yoon Seah was dumbfounded, Seong Jihan continued.

"More surveillance will come. This time targeting all male half-elves."

"That's some serious obsession... I won't be able to come play at Uncle's house like this."

"I'll have to come over instead."

"But Uncle, you destroyed a lot even with the Governor watching, right? 25?"

"About 30."

While with Mia, he had destroyed 30 D-rank World Trees.

He had steadily smashed almost 10 per day.

The red was already close to 700; instead, the absorbed Eternity stat had reached nearly 50.

While active as the Red Administrator, Seong Jihan was crushing the World Tree Alliance, starting from the weakest.

However.

'Now even hitting D-rank yields very little.'

The Eternity that used to increase by 1 for each D-rank World Tree absorbed,

Now that it reached 50, was growing more slowly.

It took destroying two or three to increase by 1.

But if he converted it to red, this stat shouldn't exceed 700.

Now destroying D-rank World Trees didn't give much benefit in terms of stats.

'Of course, I'll have to keep invading to damage the World Tree Alliance... but is there no good way to utilize this?'

As Seong Jihan was lost in thought for a moment.

Beep beep beep.

An alarm sound came from Yoon Seah's system window.

"Um... Uncle. The Colonial Government contacted me saying the Governor wants to see me."

"Why you all of a sudden?"

"Right? Ah... could it be because of this?"

Swoosh.

Yoon Seah turned the system screen she was looking at to show Seong Jihan.

Then inside it,

The figure of the Red Administrator completely burning the World Tree Alliance's legion appeared.

Though the silhouette wasn't fully visible due to the fire.

The being inside was clearly human-sized.

-Recently, claims have been made that the body the Red Administrator is using as a host might be that of the 'Blue Administrator'.

-Related to this, we would like to hear the esteemed opinion of the Arena's owner, so please visit the Colonial Government.

-If you are reluctant to come to the Colonial Government, we would be happy to meet at another location if you can spare the time.

Along with this, a message appeared below linking this to the Blue Administrator.

"That's quite polite for a message from the Colonial Government."

"Uncle, I'm high-ranking in the Void. They're just colonial Governors."

"True."

To begin with, the Void is a more powerful force than the World Tree Alliance.

And their positions are vastly different too.

So it's only natural for the Colonial Government to take a humble attitude.

"Hmm... Uncle's silhouette appeared, so I guess I should see their face? It would be strange if I showed no interest at all."

"That's true. Go hear what they have to say. But don't go inside the Colonial Government."

"Of course. There's no need to enter the enemy's lair just because I belong to the Void... I'll just rent a room in the restaurant downstairs."

"Do that."

As Yoon Seah was setting up an appointment with the Governor,

Seong Jihan thought.

'There's some time before the next elf comes, so I should incinerate their lab during that time.'

The laboratory where Kim Jihun was summoned.

When he cross-referenced its coordinates with data he already had, it matched a planet with a B-rank World Tree.

When the Governor was monitoring from the side, he couldn't raid there because he had to hit and run quickly.

But now things were different.

"Hey, I'm going to work."

"Okay. I'm meeting the Governor tomorrow evening and renting out the whole restaurant, so come watch if you have time, Uncle. You won't be detected if you hide your presence in that state, right?"

"Alright, got it."

He should listen to what they would talk about in person tomorrow.

Seong Jihan nodded and then,

'I'll take a look around the lab and then burn it.'

He opened a portal and moved right there.

* * *

Inside the laboratory.

"Director! Can't we just cultivate one?"

"No. Just wait a few more days."

"Ah, but inspiration is striking right now! I feel like I'll create a masterpiece today!"

"Your experiments are just assembling body parts anyway."

"No, I really have an amazing idea..."

As the lab director and the half-elf researcher in charge were arguing while looking at the cultivating Kim Jihun,

Weeeoooo. Weeeoooo

Alarms suddenly blared throughout the laboratory building.

"Wh-What's going on?"

"Director! The, the Red Administrator is invading...!"

"What??"

The lab director jumped up from his seat.

No.

The Red Administrator, he had clearly heard they were only invading lower colonized planets lately.

Why suddenly attack here?

"H-How did they find this place..."

"Director, you entered the coordinates on the BattleNet bulletin board before to keep pests away, remember..."

"Ah, was I the only one who did that? Everyone did it...!"

A collection of coordinates saying not to dare intrude since it's World Tree Alliance territory.

When a Constellation invaded and was repelled long ago, the director had personally added coordinates there to prevent such troublesome incidents from happening again.

But who would have thought that would come back to bite them like this.

Those who never imagined Seong Jihan would come here in Kim Jihun's body,

All thought this disaster happened because the director registered the coordinates.

"Q-Quick! The experiment data. Send a data backup."

"Yes. The backup... Oh, the connection is cut...!"

"What, already?"

No sooner had those words left his mouth.

Whoosh...!

Intense flames suddenly erupted inside the lab.

'Th-This is... the Red power...'

Fire spread to the director's body as well,

His entire body instantly turned to ash.

Thump. Thump.

And through the burning laboratory,

Seong Jihan walked in.

'Finally something worth taking.'

What he was looking at were the screens floating chaotically in the lab.

He had left the monitors alone while burning the researchers to see if there was anything useful,

And there, coordinates of other laboratories for data backup were floating in a list.

'This includes several locations not registered on the bulletin board.'

As expected, the coordinates on the BattleNet bulletin board weren't everything.

Seong Jihan gathered the newly obtained data and examined the information on the monitors.

Since it was their experiment data, he couldn't understand exactly what it meant, but.

'Well, in the end it's probably just mixing all the BattleNet races to create chimeras.'

It wasn't particularly useful reference material for him.

He just needed to get the coordinates.

Snap!

As he snapped his fingers once, all the monitors burst into flames.

'Before burning everything, I should stop by the half-elf lab.'

The half-elf laboratory that had shown an abnormal obsession with Seong Jihan.

He was determined to eliminate that place this time no matter what,

But he wanted to look at their purpose for creating such a thing before burning it.

As he arrived at the half-elf laboratory, burning everything around him.

'Nothing special here.'

Whoosh...!

Burning all the heads lined up from the entrance, Seong Jihan continued forward.

He didn't sense anything particularly special from the displayed bodies.

Was this just a lab born from a crazy elf's obsession?

'Well. Let's just go to the center.'

In the test tube at the center.

There was definitely a Seong Jihan chimera with three heads and 6 limbs.

If even that couldn't exert much power.

Then it could just be seen as a mad elf doing mad things.

As he arrived at the center like that.

"Ji-Jihan. Qu-Quick, wake up! You have to protect me!"

The elf researcher who had shattered the test tube with her own hands.

Was pleading to the Seong Jihan chimera slumped on the floor.

What was she doing after breaking it herself?

'It gives me the creeps hearing her call it Jihan.'

He needed to get rid of this quickly.

As Seong Jihan pointed his finger at the researcher.

Whoosh...!

The elf's body was engulfed in flames, instantly turning to ash.

The flames, controlled by Seong Jihan, did not spread to the chimera she was hugging.

He approached the chimera resembling himself.

'Ugh, they really made something disgusting.'

He was now determined to burn all elf laboratories without exception.

Seong Jihan thought this as he examined the chimera.

A chimera with no particular power felt from it.

Unlike the researcher's ambition to recreate the Blue Administrator, this chimera couldn't even live properly outside the test tube.

It would probably die on its own if left alone.

Still.

'I don't want to leave any traces. Let's burn it.'

Seong Jihan pointed his finger at his own chimera.

Then, the chimera began burning from its feet.

This grotesque life form that was about to be completely incinerated quickly.

When the fire reached its face, it didn't burn immediately but started resisting quite a bit.

'Hooh.'

What was this?

He thought it was useless, but it could resist the Red fire like this?

Seong Jihan was interested in this.

The three heads resembling him opened their mouths haltingly.

"I am..."

"The..."

"King."
