Chapter 27's

THE DEMON SWORD SEARCH

The average audience of the Battle Against 100 Men broadcast was 5.32%.

Jae Woo received an additional 2 million won for exceeding 5% of views, so he received a total of 12 million won from GBS.

And with 1,000 Eder gold, which he exchanged for cash, he had 22 million won

"I want to pay back 20 million won."

Jae Woo plans to pay back his family's debt first. After all, paying the bank's monthly interest is futile.

"Yes yes."

The employee in charge of debt smiled brightly.

"Please extend the redemption time period. You can't lower interest rates, can you?" ask Jae Woo.

"Please a minute, sir."

Workers look at their monitors and check Jae Woo's family information.

"You have good credit, and you are never late to pay interest. I believe I can extend the redemption period by 1 year. Do you want to do that?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"The redemption time frame has been extended by one year, but I can't lower your interest rate" the worker said with a professional smile.

"I understand."

Jae Woo has paid off 20 million won from their debt right then and there.

* * *

Jae Woo visits a cosmetics store on his way home.

"Welcome home."

"Please give me anti-wrinkle cream."

He bought anti-wrinkle cream for 200,000 won as a gift for his mother.

"Please, 5 kinds of sushi."

"In terms of cakes, nothing beats chocolate."

Jae Woo even buys sushi and cake for his sister, goes home, and waits for his mother to come home.

It was 8:00 p.m.

The front door was open; his mother had gone home.

Normally, her mother would come home around 12, but she would return early on these days.

"Welcome back!"

Jae Woo and his sister welcome their mother back.

The living room table is laid out with sushi, cakes, rolled omelettes made by Yura, japchae, etc.

"What's this?" ask her mother to be astonished.

“I have good news,” said Kang Oh.

"Good news?"

"I made quite a lot of money, so I paid off some of our debt."

"That's really good news."

Mother beaming.

That's how their simple and comfortable party began. The whole family sat around the table.

"Mom, please use this."

Jae Woo gives her a cosmetic cream.

"You don't have to spend all that money on me."

"It seems that it will remove your wrinkles."

"I'll use it well."

"Where is mine?" Mina asks, and Jae Woo points at the assortment of sushi as if saying 'just eat'.

"Sad."

"It looks like Yura will spend it all."

Contrary to how thin she is, Yura is a big eater and devours sushi quickly.

Tuna belly, gone!

"Ah."

Mina jumped in and quickly started eating sushi.

Yura, who had finished the cake for dessert, smiled in satisfaction and stroked her stomach.

Meanwhile, Mina sucked her fork in disappointment.

It was a heart-warming sight.

It seems like they have gone back in time, what their family used to be like before Jae Woo's unfortunate accident.

'Thank you God.'

Her mother was beaming, trying her hardest to hide the tears in her eyes.

Without saying a word, Jae Woo tightly grabbed her mother's hand.

* * *

Jae Woo goes into Arth.

“I read The Loxia Chronicles from beginning to end, but did not mention the demon sword,” Eder said.

"You didn't read at a glance or just didn't read it, did you?" Kang Oh looked at him suspiciously.

"Truly not."

Eder desperately waved his hand.

Hyper Intuition had not been activated yet, so it seemed like she was telling the truth this time around.

"Are you sure it didn't say anything about the demon sword?"

"It does mention the sword, but not the devil's sword."

Eder had been desperately reading The Loxia Chronicles to find clues about the location of the demon sword.

However, he could not find anything.

“That may not be called the devil's sword. It might be described as a mysterious and ominous sword, ” Kang Oh said.

Neither the middle-aged man from the Adventurer Guild nor Tino had actually described him as a demonic sword.

"Yes. I remember it, but no one mentioned it either. ”

“Then what about the items owned by some of the greatest/successful figures in the family?”

"The Loxia family is very famous, so there are some famous or great people who come from that family, but none of them fit your picture."

If that was the case, then he would need to find another clue aside from the book.

"Should I bake Tino?"

He remembered Tino, the old man who had drunk the expensive honey water.

"Why don't you try asking someone directly involved?" Suddenly Eder suggested.

"Where are you going to find people from destroyed houses?" Kang Oh asked.

"You don't find people; you find ghosts" Eder said.

"What did you say?"

"Since the Loxia family is one of the four great knight families of Altein Kingdom, there should be one or two of them who turned into Ghost Knights," Eder said.

"So you're saying I can do what we're doing right now; go and find one of Loxia's knights and ask them?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Where can I find Ghost Knights?"

"I heard some Ghost Knights gathered at Taksen Castle."

Since Eder himself was a ghost, he was well-informed in the subject.

"really? Then I guess I'll have to go there to look for more clues."

Kang Oh also knows about Taksen Castle.

Taksen Castle is a hunting ground that contains Ghost Knights varying from level 60-80.

It was the right hunting ground for him with the demonic sword of the phantom lumberjack.

"I can level up there too."

He would find several clues and simultaneously hunt monsters.

That was very interesting to Kang Oh.

He had found something to do, so there was no reason to linger. He stood up immediately.

But Eder caught him.

It can be hard to talk to them if you go without a plan, Eder says.

In the past, the Ghost Knights were NPCs, but now they were undoubtedly monsters.

Like Eder!

So, a conversation might happen, but he needed something that would allow him to talk to them.

"Don't worry. I have a plan. You stay here and read The Loxia Chronicles one more time" Kang Oh said.

"I'm sorry?"

Read all these 1,500 pages again?

He decided to be generous to Eder, because he had made a brilliant plan.

"I understand."

Eder nodded his head; he had set aside some medicinal books and only glanced at them yesterday.

"I'm going to go."

Kang Oh left the central library.

* * *

There's a tailor's workshop near the Altein Central Library.

Wooden sign, labeled Marianne Ganelle, creaking.

"Welcome home."

Kang Oh opened the door and went inside.

A young tailor greeted him.

"I want a coat with this image clearly visible on the front and back."

Kang Oh handed over the paper with a picture of a leopard biting a sword.

"We at Marianna Ganelle always do our best to meet the demands of our customers to keep their trust in us. Your request is certainly our priority."

The tailor smiled professionally.

"Please make it from the cheapest material! The important thing is that the picture should be clear" Kang Oh said.

"Master, we just received a stack of high-quality Silver Wolf feathers, so while we were doing it..."

"No, thank you. Please make it according to my specifics."

"Md. I get it."

He had just finished ordering a cheap promotional coat with no practical use or aesthetic value at all.

"I'm ready."

As soon as he received his coat, Kang Oh headed towards the intercity warp gates.

The gate was basically just a huge magic circle drawn on the marble floor.

The magic circle shines colorful.

Kang Oh enters the magic circle.

Since he was already registered as an Adventurer, he could travel wherever he wanted, as long as he paid the fee.

"Haroton!" Kang Oh yelled.

And he was enveloped in a pillar of colorful light.

[You have paid 5 gold to use the gate. The farther the distance, the more expensive it will be.]

Kang Oh felt like he had just taken the elevator, climbed up the building and then down.

After that, the light pillar disappeared and was greeted with a neatly arranged view of the small town.

Haroton is a strange little local town with few NPCs and other users.

Kang Oh leaves town and plays a whistle that looks like a horse head.

A black horse came out of the forest.

He bought the horse at the horse show.

He could summon Earth Spiders through the Alishi Necklace, which specialized in climbing ceilings or walls, but it was slow.

That was why he bought a horse, which was strong and fast.

"Hi!"

Kang Oh tightened his thighs and kicked the side of his horse with his feet.

As soon as his horse started running, Kang Oh was greeted with a refreshing breeze.

How much did he enjoy the wind?

"That's it."

He could see it from afar; there was an old castle between a cliff and a sharp gorge.

It was Taksen Castle.

* * *

The horse retreated back into the forest as soon as he hit the butt of his horse.

He was not worried; it would come every time he played the whistle. That's how the system works.

"It looks cool."

Kang Oh looked at the black castle in front of him.

Taksen Castle.

The high black cliffs, canyons, and fortresses seemed to deter anyone from entering.

It seemed like the archers were ready from within the fortress, and above them, the soldiers stood parallel to their spears.

In the past, during the time of the Altein Empire, this fortress stood as the main fortress protecting the Empire, so countless soldiers were stationed here.

So, it was a pretty impressive castle. However, it was nothing more than his past glory.

Now it was a hunting ground where the Ghost Knights would come and go.

"Can we?"

Kang Oh put on his coat and raised his sword.

He passed through the gate, which served as a door and a bridge, which was located above the deep moat.

"Receive the sword of the knight Von Heich, who fought in the great battle of Fatalow!"

Suddenly, a knife came flying!

Kang Oh reacted immediately.

Knives meet knives. However, no sound of their clashes had appeared.

That's obvious.

Because Kang Oh's opponent is a ghost!

Still, it's not like nothing happened.

Swish!

The demon sword passed by, cutting off the green blade of self-introduced Von Heich.

"No!" shouted the ghost knight, looking at his broken sword.

And Kang Oh splits down with his demonic sword.

"How can this be ..."

The knight looked at Kang Oh in disbelief.

That's just natural. Because the body of the ghost, which could pierce through the wall, was cut in half and spread into the air.

[You have defeated the Ghost Knight, Von Heich.]

Normally, ghost-type monsters were extremely difficult to deal with, as physical attacks were ineffective against them, and they flew through the air.

Moreover, the monsters in Taksen Castle were all named knights, so they were stronger.

But with just two swings, Kang Oh had killed one of them.

'There really is a reason why Eder was afraid of this sword.'

Chasm knife!

The power to penetrate ghosts!

It was an extremely powerful ability that allowed him to pierce through ghosts, even though they were immune to physical attacks.

Cutting ghosts was like cutting water; yes, it was possible, but the Abyss Blade allowed him to cut ghosts as if the water was kimchi radish.

"Rau Hannes. I am part of the order of gallant knights!"

As soon as he finished with Von Heich, the nearby Ghost Knights began to swarm around him.

However, their fate was the same as that of Von Heich.

Whirr.

Tortuously.

With a single swing of his demonic sword, the swords of the Ghost Knights were cut off.

Their arms, legs, chest, and head were no exception; they were all cut apart.

It was a one-sided massacre!

[You have leveled up.]

'Good.'

Kang Oh was satisfied with the many experience points he had gained.

And...

'We can't forget about finding clues to the existence of the demon sword.'

"Fight me, master of the iron mace, Gastoph."

Then, an imposing mace-holding knight came rushing towards him.

"I'm the last heir to the Loxia family, Kang Oh!" Kang Oh shouted loudly.

It was then that the heir of the Loxia family that had never been seen before appeared.
