Chapter 76
The Deceiver (2)
"That's exactly what I mean."
Arthur said it in a calm yet harsh tone, his eyes fixed on Kim Dokja.
"Our companions are cowards.
They won't be able to kill anyone.
They're far too kind."
He paused for a moment, then continued in a realistic tone, without hesitation:
"Maybe only Lee Gilyoung would carry out your orders no matter what—they'd do it without hesitation.
But Yoo Sangah?
Lee Hyunsung?
Even Jung Heewon?
They won't accept it… and they'll never support it."
Arthur let out a short breath, as if summarizing a truth everyone already knew.
"These people… won't change."
Kim Dokja sighed deeply.
He had known this from the beginning, but he didn't want to admit it.
Then Arthur suddenly spoke, as if suggesting something simple:
"Why don't I just kill a few people here and there,
then we tell them we found rooms and that everything is fine?"
{Some constellations of absolute good are shocked by your wickedness}
{Some constellations of absolute evil agree with your logical words}
Arthur's tone rose, no longer carrying any politeness.
"Shocked?
Shocked by what, exactly?"
He raised his head, as if addressing the sky itself.
"We're just a show to you.
You're the audience… the donors… the ones who enjoy this."
His voice sharpened, becoming harsher:
"We're inside this damned scenario only to satisfy your desires.
So why pretend to be shocked now?
This is the filthy reality."
He smiled coldly.
"There are only two choices:
Either I kill and save myself,
or I become a kind saint, do what everyone wants… and then die."
He fell silent for a moment, then added with contempt:
"Is that what you want?
A bunch of pathetic weaklings?"
{Constellations of evil smile at you}
Arthur let out a cruel, mocking laugh.
"Oh, shut up, you lot too.
You're even worse than those hypocrites."
He looked upward with disdain.
"You love evil, blood, and killing…
yet you're also just spectators of others' suffering."
A heavy silence fell.
{A punishment scenario is being created}
{A punishment scenario has been created by constellations of absolute good and absolute evil}
{Scenario:
Kill the incarnation Arthur Narin in the most brutal way possible
Time limit: 15 minutes
Reward: 500 coins
Failure: None}
The scenario appeared before everyone's eyes.
At first, joy spread…
but the moment they read the target's name—
Arthur Narin
fear struck their hearts like lightning.
This was the man who had defeated Yoo Joonghyuk.
How could they possibly fight him?
Kim Dokja struck his forehead in silent frustration.
"Didn't I tell you before not to provoke the constellations?
Look what they've done now."
Arthur smiled calmly, then suddenly felt a powerful presence behind him.
He, Kim Dokja, and Lee Jihye all turned at the same time.
It was Yoo Joonghyuk.
"Oh?"
Arthur said with a smile.
"Did you come to participate in the scenario too, Joonghyuk?"
The other replied coldly:
"What would I even do with five hundred worthless coins?"
Arthur burst into laughter, then raised his head toward the sky.
"O humble constellations,
if you're this angry,
then at least don't create such an embarrassing scenario."
{The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband laughs hysterically}
{The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire warns you}
{The constellation Abyssal Black Flame Dragon laughs loudly}
Arthur kept laughing.
{The sub-scenario has been updated}
{Reward: 5000 coins}
People's expressions changed.
Greed began to seep in…
but fear was stronger.
Before anyone could move—
{A penalty has been applied to the incarnation Arthur Narin}
{He will be unable to use magical power for the duration of the scenario}
The constellations thought this was the final blow.
A deadly joke at Arthur's expense.
Eyes began to shine.
A man without magic…
a walking bag of coins.
Then came the most dangerous announcement:
{The main scenario has been postponed for 20 minutes}
Meaning:
Kill Arthur,
take the coins,
and find a room.
Everyone moved.
Arthur stood in the middle, unmoving.
"Do you need help?"
Yoo Joonghyuk asked.
Everyone froze.
His presence alone was enough to paralyze them.
Kim Dokja moved, but Arthur stopped him.
"No need.
And you don't move either, Dokja.
Tell everyone not to move.
I don't want any help."
Yoo Joonghyuk leaned against a wall, watching silently.
Around fifty-eight people gathered around Arthur.
Some hesitant…
some waiting for the right moment.
Arthur smiled, clapped his hands once, then closed his eyes.
"Dear constellations…
thank you.
But you forgot something very important."
He grasped his sword.
Everyone charged at him.
Then—
Arthur unleashed his devastating dark aura.
Bodies froze in terror.
He didn't swing his sword.
He only raised his hand.
Demon of Blood technique.
A demonic, blood-red aura formed—then exploded within the crowd,
devouring bodies without resistance.
Screams…
then silence.
Within seconds,
the corpses vanished,
and dust scattered into the air.
Arthur remained alone,
standing at the center,
smiling.
"You fools…
did you really think a penalty like that would stop me?"
He laughed loudly.
Humans and constellations alike were shocked.
How did he use his power despite the restriction on magic?
No one knew the truth…
except Arthur.
Spiritual power.
Haki.
And darkness that came with him from the world of Cthulhu.
His laughter faded, and he looked around.
"Does anyone else want to die?"
No one moved.
After a few moments—
{The sub-scenario has been canceled due to unmet conditions}
Arthur smiled, then looked at Kim Dokja.
"Now… we have some nice empty rooms."
Kim Dokja's expression stiffened.
"Arthur…
don't tell me you did all that just for rooms."
{Many constellations await your answer}
Arthur smiled confidently.
"Do you think I did it because I was angry?
Do you take me for a fool, Dokja?"
Then he added coldly:
"Of course I did it for the rooms.
And thanks to the generous donations of the constellations of good and evil…
we got a room,
and more."
Arthur bowed, placing one hand beneath his chest while the other moved slightly behind him.
With the mask covering his face—
he looked like a jester, bowing in thanks
to an audience of foolish idiots.
