Chapter 122: A sweet murder plan
Chapter 122: A sweet murder plan
The Ijin and Baek were quietly sitting there listening to their conversation and thinking about their mental health condition. On the other hand, Irelika was having fun after meeting with another guardian after a long time.
Viktor couldn\'t read her record because she was a chameleon guardian and she had the ability to change identities. Plus, the water guardian also wasn\'t aware of her existence. That\'s why Viktor didn\'t know anything until he found her correct identity.
The girl named Sina that he looked for had some connection with the other guardian fragments so he searched for her. But he didn\'t expect her to be a guardian as well.
Her guardian fragment was also strong so he thought about killing her first. But he wanted to find out more about her so he held back and made a different plan.
Ijin looked at the girl and said, "Are you sure you\'re not a hybrid? You are powerful enough to climb the top one hundred."
"Kid, I don\'t have to think about the top one hundred when I\'m not even human. Moreover, I don\'t stay in one place for more than 20 years because people start to think about my age."
Viktor looked through her record and saw she also knows the other guardians\' whereabouts. But they also don\'t stay in one place for a long time. And thankfully, she didn\'t know how Viktor\'s power works.
Viktor took another sip of his alcohol and said, "Irelika, do you know where the others are?"
"The others? No. It\'s been decades since the last time I saw them."
"I see."
Ijin stood up and said, "Wait, Viktor, are you sure you guys are still not joking? I mean, I\'m getting annoyed right now."
Viktor looked at her and said, "Okay then, let\'s head out. Irelika, why won\'t you join me?"
She grabbed Viktor\'s hand without hesitation and answered, "Of course. I want to join you."
10 minutes later…
Viktor and the two of them were waiting behind the club for her. She asked them to wait because she needed some time to change her dress. She worked as a club stripper so she needed to wear decent clothes to come out of the club.
"Irelika right? You took quite a long time. What were you doing?" Baek asked.
"I was talking with my manager to take a day off."
Viktor lit a cigarette and said, "Let\'s go then, I\'m taking you somewhere else."
Viktor examined all the nearest living planet\'s from Rae\'s record. Since he knew how to make a portal stone, he made countless ones and stored them in his dimension room.
There are a lot of plants which have the same time flow as the earth. Or a little faster. The time works the same so if a day passes on earth, the same amount of time will pass on the other planet.
So Viktor made a portal stone to that planet and decided to take a stroll with them. And in the meantime, he also planned to kill Irelika along with the process.
When they were both walking along the street, Baek said, "I only have 3 hours before my deadline. So where are we heading now?"
"My master said we\'re going to Cosmo," Adonis answered.
All three of them became surprised because they never felt the 5th person walking with them. Not only that, Rae and Welis also came with him and they were walking at the back of the group.
But what their eyes caught was something they\'d never seen in their life before. It was the beauty of Adonis North. Baek was so surprised that he called Viktor \'Master\'. So he asked, "Why are you talking formally with your younger brother?"
"He\'s not my younger brother. He\'s more than that."
Ijin, who didn\'t feel their presence, also asked, "When did you come? And how did you find out Viktor was here?"
Adonis looked at his pocket watch and said, "I am here to escort my master to Cosmo. He promised me that he won\'t ever leave me again so as promised, I am tagging along."
Viktor reached a park and told Adonis to cast an invisible barrier around them.
The invisible barrier made them split out of the reality and then, Viktor cracked a portal stone.
A neon blue rotating portal appeared and the wind started to come out. Viktor who was standing in front of the group said, "I\'ll head out first with Adonis. Rae, you take care of the crowd."
"Okay!! People line up. We\'re going to visit Cosmo today! It\'s my favourite place."
Ijin, who became a little frightened after seeing the blue wall said, "What is Cosmo?"
"It\'s a different planet far away from earth. I\'ve been there before."
Rae pushed the two of them and they immediately vanished.
…
"Adonis, the sky is pink."
"I am thinking about that too."
Adonis immediately prepared a chair and a table for Viktor at the edge of a cliff beside the red ocean. The grass was red and the sky was filled with floating islands. There were dragons on these floating islands so far up above the sky. So
They were all safe.
Viktor knew the plant was humanless so he chose it and decided to spend a month or two.
The plant named Cosmo had a 1h/300d time gap compared to the earth. Which means an hour on earth was 300 days on Cosmo. It was a perfect place for a vacation in a short time for a long time.
"Adonis, the tea tastes good here."
"Yes, master. It\'s the new tea that I grew in my dimension room."
At that time, all five of them came out of the portal and killed the ground. Ijin, who wasn\'t injured, jumped up and became speechless to see the world. He screamed, "Why is the sky pink!! Are those islands? Why is the ocean red!! What is going on!!"
Viktor took a sip of his tea and said, "Welcome to Cosmo. This is a planet where humans died billions of years ago and only monsters remain."
Baek was rubbing his eyes to see if it was really a dream or not so he touched the red blood-stained glass. "This is not a dream." He said.
Irelika knew Viktor was a powerful guardian so she let her guard down and jumped into the ocean. She knew Viktor won\'t do any harm because she can feel the killing instinct. And Viktor didn\'t have any negative thoughts so she thought, \'Looks like he\'s not going to harm me. Moreover, it\'s not permitted to harm another guardian.\'
But her poor soul forgot that they were both banished from the realm and such laws don\'t really apply to Viktor and any of them. They were all criminals.
Viktor on the other hand was having telepathic communication and asked Adonis to prepare for the guardian battle. He also told him the reason why he brought them to Cosmo was because he was about to reach his peak after devouring her fragments. And reaching his peak would create a bomb-like aftermath so he bought her to a lifeless planet.
Baek, who finally realised he wasn\'t dreaming, walked closer to Viktor and said, "Tell me truthfully. Just who are you?"
Viktor put down his teacup and said, "Me? I\'m a guardian of the record who holds every living person\'s record. I know everything about everyone."
He again asked, "What is a guardian? What do they do?"
Ijin also came closer to Viktor to hear the conservation and heard, "We, the guardians, control the universe. If we leave, the universe is going to die. We\'re connected to nature and we won\'t die as long as the universe is connected to the universe\'s soul core."
Ijin was surprised. So he asked, "I know you since middle school. You weren\'t like this before. So what happened?"
"Oh, that\'s because Neul was murdered and I happened to possess his miserable body."
After witnessing the unknown place and Viktor\'s power, they were left with no choice but to accept what he said. They looked around the empty area where Rae and Welis were jumping around and preparing to swim in the ocean.
"Viktor!!! I\'ll show you how big a seashell can become in this world! You will be surprised to see a pearl of this world!"
Viktor, who was enjoying the breeze, wore sunglasses and leaned in his chair. The red sun came out of the pink clouds creating a red-shaded rainbow in the sky.
"Adonis, can we stay here for a while?" Viktor asked.
"I will stay here with my master as long as he wishes."
He\'s still the same. Hah… I\'ll take some rest before I eat her alive. I\'ll just let her enjoy the last days of her life and feel free.
Then, I will become the most powerful guardian who can merge with my other half without losing my consciousness. It\'s a war of life and death after all.
A long war against the god.
He looked above and toasted his teacup to the sky, \'See you soon, brother.\'
