“This is bad! 90% of the R&D facility has been destroyed!”
Pandora’s HQ, the iron walls of the Druid’s Watchtower, was becoming loud.
This place was not far from the R&D facility.
They were getting anxious that the nearby facility that was responsible for researching and developing artifacts had been destroyed.
Most importantly, that was where they were creating Un-known.
How could they not get anxious?
“The facility was destroyed?! The emergency alarm went off earlier…was it that thieving bastard’s doing?!”
They were the different executives who were part of the 150 people of the Round Table.
They were freaking out that their safety was being threatened.
“How can the world’s supposed best organization struggle so much against one or two people?!”
The soldiers didn't want to get on the executives’ bad sides.
“Those bastards have disaster-type artifacts…!”
Ju-Heon’s group was not actually using disaster-type artifacts. It was just the Ju-Heon’s Egyptian God artifacts, Julian's thunderbolt artifact, and Ilya’s Lord of the Devils artifact were all Disaster-Grade already.
They could easily destroy the world through ‘natural disasters’ if they really wanted to do so.
It wouldn't even take an hour to do it.
“Scary bastards……!”
It was at that moment.
“It’s nothing to fuss about. Why do you think we have these seats around the Round Table?”
“Merlin!”
Merlin made a rare appearance with a smile on her face to calm people down.
“We are here to get rid of and teach a lesson to these kinds of Monarchs who run wild.”
That was right.
The Knights of the Round Table were people who were pitting Monarchs against each other to select a Majesty.
They were all people who considered themselves to be in a higher position than the Monarchs.
It was normal to think that the people choosing the king were in a higher position than the king himself.
That was why Kwon Hyuk Soo, who had figured that out pretty early, had given his Four Emperors position to Chairman Kwon while the greedy Chairman Kwon still aimed for the position of Majesty, despite knowing the truth. He was greedy for the Treasures that the Knights of the Round Table would make for him.
Anyway, that was the current situation.
She was furious about Seo Ju-Heon's disrespectful infiltration.
‘How dare those inferior bastards who only know how to use ready-made stuff.’
There were two types of people in the world. People who made things and people who could only use those things the first group made.
They were already people who had already reached the level of creating artifacts. They were 'creators.’
‘Artifacts are resources that will feed the population from now on.’
But most of those artifacts were consumable artifacts. Only a few artifacts were Possession-type artifacts.
That was why people who only knew how to waste those artifacts and people who knew how to create artifacts needed to be treated differently.
‘Those parasites only know how to waste artifacts as they please.’
Of course, there were people who were even worse than that.
Among the parasites, there were the worst kinds that could neither create nor use artifacts.
‘Those parasites are the worst of the worst.’
She was talking about the regular people who could barely use C-Grade artifacts.
Merlin started smiling.
‘Anyway, wouldn’t it be only fair that those parasites help the society in some way as well?’
This was her justification for using them as ingredients.
It was the reason they started creating Un-known.
Merlin didn't think it was that big of a deal.
Ancient societies used living animals as ingredients for medicine as well.
They needed the < Majesty's Cradle > to make artifacts, but…
‘That doesn’t matter either. All we need to know is the logic behind it.’
Artifacts were items born from human memories and stories.
In that case, didn't that mean that artifacts could be created as long as humans were there?
Each person’s talents and their lives were all great ‘stories.’
‘It’s enough to turn into an artifact.’
Merlin's artifact had helped with the technological problems.
That was how they had created Un-known, but it was still incomplete. That was why she was furious that Ju-Heon found out about Un-known.
‘We can’t have him spreading it to the world before it is even completed.’
Merlin started to shout.
“Please call the scattered knights to support Henry!”
They weren't very far from the location of the incident.
“It's fine. There will be no problems if we hurry.”
They should be able to get there before Seo Ju-Heon could learn anything from Henry.
Probably.
“Open it up. Go through his head.”
Ju-Heon's smile made Henry shake in fear. Ju-Heon looked ready to pull out his brain as he stomped on his head.
‘This bastard.’
Henry’s ass was on fire. He was calling out his artifacts out of desperation but what the hell?
‘This son of a bitch isn’t even responding to his master!’
Even Jaeha wouldn’t get ignored by his own artifacts like this.
Ju-Heon said something else at that moment.
“Ah, right. Go call Jaeha first.”
"Ah, that bastard is holding onto the Raven’s Tears right now, right?”
Henry gulped after hearing that.
He didn't know what the Raven’s Tears was but he knew it wouldn't be good news for him.
Henry urgently started to roll his eyes as he watched Ilya send a devil out.
His gaze landed on a certain artifact.
It was the motorcycle that was still going wild and turning the place into a sea of fire.
VROOOM, VROOOOOOM!
It was an artifact that wouldn’t even recognize its master nor be controlled by humans.
Helios's Chariot was laughing as it continued to destroy the already destroyed R&D building and put it on fire.
[#&$#!]
Aha! This is so fun! So fun!
This motorcycle bastard was truly overeager to cause chaos.
Ju-Heon seemed to be a bit annoyed at it as he talked about it while still standing there with his foot on Henry's head.
“Can you do anything about that thing?”
“Who knows? Why don’t you try taming it like you did with Sleipnir?”
“Get lost. That is a rogue artifact that has no way of being controlled.”
Henry’s eyes flashed after hearing that.
‘What? Even Seo Ju-Heon can’t handle that one?’
His face lit up after hearing this unexpected fact.
‘Yes! It's not that I'm weird! I knew it!’
He then activated his Affinity. Artifacts had a tendency to be drawn to Artifact Affinity.
“Haha! I have nothing to lose! Let’s die together!”
“!”
Helios's Chariot flinched at the high Affinity before charging toward Ju-Heon and Henry.
It continued to release its vicious fire as it charged toward them.
“We will die together!”
Ilya shouted with urgency.
"Captain! It’s dang…!”
“Bullshit.”
Ju-Heon nonchalantly dodged to the side. The stupidly charging motorcycle ran right over Henry.
Baaaaang!
“Aaah!”
The artifact motorcycle was as heavy as most regular cars. His shoulder bones felt as if they would break.
“Ugh……!”
Ju-Heon snorted while looking at Henry.
“Are you fooling around? Did you really think you could do something to me with an artifact like this?”
“Grrr…!”
“Your first stupid move was trying to keep me in check with a shitty artifact like Báthory's artifact. If you wanted to do that, you should have put an evil god artifact like Angra Mainyu……huh?!”
Ju-Heon groaned in the middle of his statement.
He couldn't help it as the stupidly charging motorcycle suddenly threw Ju-Heon on top of it.
“Captain!”
Henry’s plan had somehow worked and the motorcycle was laughing as it drove around with Ju-Heon on its back.
[#$$&!]
Aha! Excited! I'm excited!
It was rare to see Ju-Heon being dragged around by an artifact like this.
He looked as if he was on a horse that had gone berserk and was running wild.
Henry started to laugh.
“Serves you right! You’ll never be able to get off of it! It’ll burn your allies to death!”
It was as he mentioned. The crazy flaming motorcycle with Ju-Heon on its back then aimed for Ilya.
“Ahhh, Captain! Don't come this way! Get off it!”
Ju-Heon couldn’t get off of it even if he wanted to do so because his butt was stuck on it.
This artifact didn't seem to want to let him off.
[#$&^#&!]
Oppa, your butt is sexy! It’s so sexy!
‘This crazy horse bastard.’
Ju-Heon tried to control it but unlike Sleipnir, this bastard had no way to control it at all.
Since there was no way to drive it, it meant nothing that someone at the Four Emperors level was touching it. The artifact itself was basically a trap.
That was why he had worked with Joy to use this artifact as the trap option.
‘I can just destroy this kind of artifact, but…’
Henry was laughing as he ran away limping. It was hard to move because his shoulder bone was broken, but it was okay.
“Seo Ju-Heon, you son of a bitch! Get fucked!”
It was at that moment.
“Hey, skinny dude! I’ll accept your proposal from earlier!”
“What? What?”
Ju-Heon had an extremely wicked smile on his face.
“So we are allies from today. Okay?”
“What? Really? Fine, you can’t take that back…”
But Henry was sent flying at that moment.
The motorcycle slammed into Henry the moment Ju-Heon said they were allies.
Henry was suffering intensely from burns after Helios's Chariot crashed into him and sent him flying.
“U, ugh…!”
His ribs and arms were broken now and he was in quite the terrible state.
“Phew, it's listening a bit now that it slammed into one person.”
Ilya looked toward Ju-Heon thinking he truly was vicious.
As for Ju-Heon, he was laying down on the crazy motorcycle and enjoying its cruise as if he was on a banana boat.
It was at that moment.
“Captain-nim! I brought the Raven’s Tears!”
Ju-Heon easily jumped off the motorcycle after Jaeha appeared.
“Hey pushover, let me ask you a question!”
“Excuse me?”
“Did you ever have to restore us as artifacts after we all died?”
“Of course n……huh?”
Jaeha turned pale as if he heard something he should not have heard.
“Huh? What kind of bullshit is that?! Do you know what you are saying right now…”
“Well, whatever. We will know if we rip his head apart.”
“?!”
Ilya took the Raven’s Tears away from Jaeha and there was a bright light as Henry started screaming.
Ilya saw many things in Henry’s memories.
The thing that caught his attention the most was a conversation between the Knights of the Round Table and the Executive Board.
“We’re sure of it. That bastard Seo Ju-Heon is at the Majesty-Grade. He can't use his full powers because he is sick but he is dangerous.”
"But the DNA test said that he is not a descendant. We tried to adopt him as a kid because we thought he might be a descendant of the Majesty.”
Someone wickedly smiled as if to suck up to the person.
“The girl…was her name Joy? General, didn’t you say that you took her in?”
“Yes I did. We made sure she got sick to prepare to turn her into an Un-known. But she is just trash who only has high Affinity.”
“Haha. How can you call her trash? Who is the one that benefited the most from using her Affinity? Pandora was able to develop significantly thanks to her help.”
“Yes, she worked hard so it is time to send her off to rest in peace. We will turn her into Un-known and allow her to be reborn as an artifact.”
But at that moment…
“Please wait! That is not important right now!”
“What is it? What is going on?!”
“The throne and the Round Table artifact have reacted to those bastards! The throne has reacted to Seo Ju-Heon while the Round Table seems to want to make his subordinates into knights!”
“Shit, it’s already at that level?!”
“Yes sir. Those bastards will try to take away our positions.”
“How can we deal with it?”
“We kill them.”
“Are you joking? Those bastards are not people we can easily kill. Even if they are suffering from tomb syndrome, their abilities are……”
Someone's eyes sparkled at that moment.
It was Merlin.
“The Great Prison has an area that is considered to be the most dangerous. Prometheus said he would happily summon that section for this ordeal. We need the artifacts of the 7 Great Tombs to summon the whole thing but he should be able to warp the dimension and bring up a portion of it.”
“Hoho. How dangerous is this place?”
Henry laughed and answered that question.
“Those bastards will absolutely be unable to make it back alive. We can recover their corpses and send them to Merlin. She will happily turn them into Un-knowns.”
“That’s right. Let’s turn them into artifacts. Those bastards will at least be Hero-Grade artifacts.”
"Seo Ju-Heon might even be a Divine-Grade artifact.”
Chairman Kwon and the rest of the Executive Board members laughed out loud.
Ilya swore as he rummaged through Henry's mind.
"These dirty bastards.”
Jaeha quickly walked over after hearing Ilya’s reaction.
"What is it? What is it?! What did you see?! Huh?”
“Ah. It’s fine. You don’t need to know.”
Ilya stopped reading through Henry's mind as if he was disgusted. Ilya then called for Ju-Heon.
“Captain.”
Ju-Heon answered as if it was fine.
“You don’t need to say anything.”
It was probably as he had expected based on Ilya’s expression.
Some bastards made them get tomb syndrome and then the results after they were killed in the Crow's tomb that those bastards had summoned… It was a shitty story where they were probably thrown to Jaeha to restore once they were turned into artifacts in the end.
Ju-Heon felt amused and started to laugh.
“Yes, but I should have been nothing less than a Divine-Grade artifact. Right?”
“Sorry, but you were a D-Grade artifact.”
“What?”
Ilya sneered.
“D-Grade! Trash-Grade! Hahaha! Ah, but it looks like I was at least a S-Grade artifact!”
“What?! Why?!”
"Who knows?”
Ju-Heon was shocked.
“I will not accept that. Something must be wrong!”
“Hehe, maybe we need to change the Captain of our tomb raiding team? I’ll let everybody know.”
The two of them were laughing but Jaeha was different.
“Hey! You crazy bastards!”
He felt sick as if he had suddenly possessed the body of the wise scholar, Ambassador Wonhyo.
“T, that’s not something to talk so casually about! Tell me the truth! You're lying right?! It’s all just bullshit?”
“Yes it's the truth.”
“Fuck, w, what the hell did I touch……”
It was at that moment.
“Yes…it is not something to talk so casually about, you shitheads.”
Maybe it was because he got his memories back through the Raven’s Tears, but Henry’s eyes flashed even though he was in pain.
“You guys…are you getting revenge on us now? Huh? I don’t know what is going on, but now that I have this info……!”
“Get lost. Your role is done.”
Gungnir was stabbed into Henry's neck almost instantly.
