“Step back, Bang Yoonseob isn’t acting normal right now!”

“Euahhh!”

Kwaang!

Almost at the same time as Mok Wooram’s warning, Bang Yoonseob wilded his right arm, and a purple energy wave scattered.

The energy wave hit the resistant floor and turned into power.

Most of Eungwang High’s facilities were strong enough to withstand the energy waves of freshmen students.

Though the players surrounding Bang Yoonseob were greatly shaken.

‘It’s more powerful than I saw in PMH. The color of his energy waves is also different.’

The biggest difference from PMH was Bang Yoonseob’s hand.

Bang Yoonseob also lost his right hand to Invidius’ priest in PMH, but the color of his energy waves was different from what I remember.

And there was no purple eyeball in his hand now.

‘They used the eye of Avaritia’s priest!’

Purple was the color of the demon’s energy waves seen at the opening ceremony of the sports exchange match.

Invidius’ priest seemed to plant one of them on Bang Yoonseob’s hand.

Because of that eyeball, Bang Yoonseob was much stronger than himself in PMH.

“Is he out of control? Wouldn’t it be better to knock him out to suppress his energy waves?”

“I don’t think he’s going to explode… It’s different from Yoonseob’s usual energy wave color.”

“Isn’t that fake? That guy’s stupid, but there’s no way he’d attack us!”

“Bbang Shuttle said he wouldn’t come to school today. It could be an enemy impersonating him.”

Students of Class 1-2 were rambling as they panicked.

Although there are parasitic enemies, they still use the energy waves of the player they leech onto.

Bang Yoonseob now wasn’t fighting anyone with his energy waves, and he was not fighting for control over his body.

What he’s subjected to is being a minion of a powerful royal lineage, something that occurs quite rarely.

“No, it’s really Yoonseob!”

Joo Soohyuk refuted his classmates’ assumption.

Hearing Joo Soohyuk’s voice, Bang Yoonseob screamed and struggled.

“Joo Soohyuk! Eeeeuuu…ahhhh!”

Bang Yoonseob raised his right hand in the air and Joo Soohyuk hurriedly swung his dual swords.

Kwwaa! Shwing!

The afterimage left by the dual swords was like wings as they collided with Bang Yoonseob’s power.

Fwwong!

Bang Yoonseob’s energy waves were offset, the impact ruffling the surrounding landscape.

“Yoonseob came to the festival too. If Yoonseob hadn’t helped on that day, we would’ve had to close early because we would’ve been out of stock.”

Bang Yoonseob flinched at Joo Soohyuk’s words.

“I think he’s Bang Yoonseob. But what’s wrong with you, get a grip of yourself!”

“Euuuu…”

Upon seeing the condition of his fellow student, Maeng Hyodon spoke loudly.

However, even with Maeng Hyodon’s urging, Bang Yoonseob couldn’t come to his senses.

Bang Yoonseob was still conscious, but he seemed to run wild because he couldn’t suppress the power of the demon.

He was fine until he joined Joo Soohyuk’s party, but his condition was already weird since he arrived in the central area.

‘Joo Soohyuk must’ve gone to find Bang Yoonseob, just like he did in PMH.’

Bang Yoonseob, who was wandering around in PMH, shouted loudly that he wouldn’t come to the festival and Christmas events, but he eventually did.

It was Joo Soohyuk who somehow convinced him.

In this world, Bang Yoonseob helped his class behind the scenes during the festival, and today he may have been found by Joo Soohyuk.

To induce such a situation, Joo Soohyuk was deployed in areas where Bang Yoonseob was frequently caught smoking.

I knew that Joo Soohyuk would be able to suppress Bang Yoonseob even if he exploded ahead of time.

As expected, Joo Soohyuk found Bang Yoonseob and joined him.

“If you can’t fight with Joo Soohyuk or me, get out of here. Leave this to us and focus on subjugating enemies!”

Kwak Gyungu shouted loudly and the students withdrew right away.

The only ones left were Bang Yoonseob, Kwak Gyungu, Joo Soohyuk, Maeng Hyodon, Yoo Sanghoon, and me.

Min Geurin and Mok Wooram seemed to be able to fight still, but they chose to leave with Kwon Lena.

“Are you okay, Gyungu hyung?”

“I healed myself. I’m good.”

Kwak Gyungu spoke calmly and held his swords.

Perhaps because he and Joo Soohyuk were both wielders of dual swords, the two worked together in unison naturally.

Meanwhile, Bang Yoonseob’s face distorted and trembled whenever he heard Joo Soohyuk’s voice.

“Get lost…”

For the first time, a voice instead of a scream came out of Bang Yoonseob’s mouth.

The right sleeve of his uniform was completely torn and his arm was exposed, the purple energy boiling up with his every word.

Joo Soohyuk lamented when he heard Joo Soohyuk’s skin burning.

“Yoonseob-ah…!”

“I said get lost! Because of you I, I… Ahhhhh!”

Fwoook!

Bang Yoonseob’s right arm was covered with purple thorns and gave off energy waves.

Then, Joo Soohyuk and Kwak Gyungu surrounded Bang Yoonseob and swung their energy waves to immediately offset his power.

Joo Soohyuk moved his swords like a swan flying gracefully, but his expression was dark.

He noticed that Bang Yoonseob’s energy waves were getting stronger while his ability to reason and deterrence was weakening.

“Jo Euishin, I don’t know what you’re waiting for, but hurry up.”

Yoo Sanghoon talked to me.

He had no idea what I prepared, but he spoke as if he had seen through my head.

But I agree with him. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

‘…I can’t wait any longer.’

Bang Yoonseob, who’s already reached his limit, cannot be left unattended anymore.

I answered in a low voice.

Just in time, Maeng Hyodon and Yoo Sanghoon were beside me.

“We’re on the defensive. Don’t let your guard down until I come back and give a signal.”

Yoo Sanghoon nodded as he fixed his dueling shield, and Maeng Hyodon clenched his fist.

I walked straight to Bang Yoonseob.

“It’s dangerous to get close to him, Euishin-ah!”

“It’s okay.”

Joo Soohyuk looked like he wanted to say something more, but he stopped when he saw Maeng Hyodon gesture something.

Bang Yoonseob’s surroundings were a mess.

The floor was messed up as if dozens of beasts scratched it, and the wrecked which had been destroyed by his right hand was scattered.

There was a liquid which I believe was blood, but I couldn’t tell if it was from the injured Kwak Gyungu’ or Bang Yoonseob’s mutating arm.

“Get lost, I said get out of here… Right now, I’m…”

Bang Yoonseob gasped at me and suppressed his right arm.

As if it noticed someone approaching, the purple energy surrounding Bang Yoonseob’s arm deepened.

“Don’t tell me you forgot your promise, Yoonseob-ah.”

“…”

Bang Yoonseob wondered for a moment, and he looked like a child with humiliation and anger on his face.

The day we had our first class at Eungwang High.

I fought and won against Bang Yoonseob, and I used the Fire Tweezer of Promise to impose restrictions on him.

The one who breaks their promise will lose all their nails.

“I was the one who put restrictions on your hands first. Weren’t you supposed to listen to me for a year?”

“But… that’s… only for the fingernails…”

The power of the item was ridiculously small compared to the eye planted by the demon.

Moreover, unlike in PMH, the power of two demons was planted in his right arm.

But it hasn’t been a year yet, which means the promise is still in effect and I still had one more move left.

“I’m not the only one who planted power.”

Bang Yoonseob had no idea what I was saying.

Swallowed by Jealousy, Bang Yoonseob couldn’t afford to look at what was in his hands.

That’s why he didn’t realize how much it grew and how much it infringed on his consciousness.

“Your capacity is bigger than when you first received that person’s order. At that time, you only had strength good enough to spare your life.”

“What are you saying…”

I’m the only one here who knows how Bang Yoonseob in PMH ended up begging Joo Soohyuk to kill him with his light skill being activated.

Bang Yoonseob has an order from the Snake Clan’s head.

The order was ‘Your Stupidness is Your Charm.’

It was the same in PMH and in this world.

‘He wouldn’t have gotten this if he didn’t improve during his freshman year.’

The first priority of mine ahead of the First Christmas scenario was to identify the traitor in the alliance.

The top candidates were the Snake Clan and the Cow Clan.

However, there was one clue connected to the Snake Clan — Bang Yoonseob.

Yeom Junyeol, who went face-to-face with the head of the Snake Clan, said this.

— That person described the student as a “stupid fool”, but she seemed worried about him. I think she’s concerned since the student has her order.

With that remark, I investigated Bang Yoonseob with the help of the Tiger Clan.

It was difficult to dig for information about the head of the Snake Clan, but it wasn’t very difficult to investigate Bang Yoonseob.

As a result, I confirmed that the head of the Snake Clan has direct contact with Bang Yoonseob via device communication.

It was clear that the head of the Snake Clan gave him the order.

‘If the head of the Snake Clan were on the side of the Black Screen and she was capable of giving Bang Yoonseob an order… If so, how could Bang Yoonseob have overcome it if the Snake Clan and Demon Race were working together?’

A head of a clan and a powerful priest who served a demon god joint powers, and it was ridiculous that Bang Yoonseob escaped that.

I concluded that the head of the Snake Clan wasn’t with the Black Screen.

At that time, if Bang Yoonseob hadn’t regained his senses, the Black Screen’s plan would’ve succeeded.

Since then, I gathered more evidence by thoroughly investigating TC officials that the head of the Snake Clan came in contact with.

I confirmed that the Snake Clan investigated Yoo Sanghee.

During the 12-point alliance talks, the head of the Snake Clan said this;

Snake [Molting] “There are a lot of incidents in Eungwang High these days, huh? Is it because of that? The stupid fool I gave an order to and the treasured priest of a superior being’s daughter, is in Eungwang High. If there’s anything that happens to him, it’s on you, Hwangho.

Asclepius is the superior being of the Snake Clan.

A superior being of a snake wrapped around a crane.

And among the daughters of Asclepius was kea.

In other words, the treasured priest being referred to was Yoo Sanghee.

‘It was easy to contact the head since she gave her device code to Yeom Junyeol.’

The head of the Snake Clan wasn’t aware of the incident involving the Black Screen.

Hwang Jiho may have raised TC’s eyebrow for no reason, but we didn’t investigate for nothing.

We concluded that the Snake Clan wasn’t the Long Tail.

And I received an item from the head of the Snake Clan.

I materialized the carded item.

It was Snake Scales.

“It may hurt a little, but bear with it.”

The head of the Snake Clan seemed to care about the “stupid fool” that she calls.

She likes him enough to give her scales that she removed from her body.

“Ignore the demon’s words and accept the heavier and greater order given to you, Bang Yoonseob.”

I put the scales on Bang Yoonseob’s fingernails and loaded energy waves.

His nails are still under the contract that we agreed, so Bang Yoonseob’s body quickly responded to my energy waves.

“Gaaah!”

Hwaaaruk!

The scales melted into Bang Yoonseob’s nails.

He screamed bloody murder, but soon his purple arm started to return to its original color.

“Ha, gasp…”

Bang Yoonseob gasped for air.

When he finally showed stability, those around us spoke in relief.

“Yoonseob-ah! Are you okay?”

Joo Soohyuk tried to approach Bang Yoonseob, but Yoo Sanghoon blocked him.

“Euishin hasn’t given a signal yet.”

“Huh?”

At that moment, a huge shadow covered us as if waiting.

A strange voice was heard with a sigh.

“Sigh… Really, it’s not easy.”

The person was wearing something familiar — a robe.

The robe was inscribed with the seal of Invidius, one of the Seven Deadly Demons.
