The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me
chapter-92

Chapter 92

The situation ended quickly.

The ‘knights’ did not lose their honor. Long before the Hunter reinforcements arrived, they had already defeated the SS rank monster with their own strength under the command of a knight. However, the knights now know the reality. The battlefield with the monsters was by no means easy, and that the world of the hunters is a lot tougher than their own.

In addition, Taylor Blestash successfully walked away from her family with the permission of Alexandre. On her way, all of her siblings didn’t even say goodbye to her.

It was because they were ashamed that they couldn’t show their superpower and hid behind their youngest sibling, whom they had been neglecting so far, while she fought at the forefront when the monster appeared.

Of course, Taylor felt good about it and burst out laughing because of that.

Just before she left her father said,

“If you miss your home, be sure to come back.”

But Taylor replied

“I don’t think I ever will.”

It’s funny. Even when she came back after leaving the house for 16 years, her dad, who showed little to no interest towards her, completely changed his mind with just one incident. Without such an accident, wouldn’t he have had nothing to do with her forever?

Rather than staying at such a heartless place, it was better to go to a place where she could interact with others openly no matter what happened.

Of course, Taylor Blestash couldn’t leave alone.

“Please take me too!”

“…”

Secondly, Yekaterina was also successfully cutting her connection with the Morian guild. In her case, it was doubtful whether she got permission from the guild, but in any case, the Morian Guild had no choice but to let Yekaterina go according to the ‘Witch’s Law’.

“What can you do in society? You will soon change your thoughts.”

“I don’t think so!”

Both the Blestash family, who had to let go of Taylor and her transcending superpower and the Morian guild, who had to release Yekaterina, who possessed much better magic than theirs, they somehow tried to capture them again, but to no avail.

But there was still one problem left, Yekaterina didn’t have a passport, money, or anything else. So, at the request of Yekaterina herself as well as Yoo Seodam, Taylor decided to take her along.

“Wow…”

Thus, presently, the two women were on a plane.

Yekaterina focused her magic on her transparent eyes. Then, her eyes changed to a pure white color resembling Yoo Seodam’s eyes, this magic allowed her to temporarily gain sight.

“Wow, it’s flying!”

“Ah! Don’t be noisy. Is it your first time on a plane?”

“Yeah.”

“…uh. okay. Anyway, stay still.”

“Sure. I will also behave well.”

Then she looked at the seat by the window where Taylor was sitting, and said quietly.

“Well, can’t I sit by the window?”

“No.”

“Hing.”

The sullen Yekaterina gave up because she thought she couldn’t help it. She switched her attention towards the magazine stuck in her chair. It was mostly about bags and modern fashion, but she was interested in every single thing that was good or things she couldn’t come into contact with when she was confined in the Morian mansion. Even when she was freed from the nightmare, she wasn’t in contact with modern civilization, but lived exclusively with her spellbook!

Taylor, looking at the figure, said with an annoyed expression.

“Move.”

“eung?”

“I said move. That place looks more comfortable.”

“Ah, yes! I see.”

Eventually, Taylor, who gave the window seat to Yekaterina, leaned back on her chair.

Looking at the window right next to her, Yekaterina exclaimed.

“Wow! Clouds!”

It was a child-like exclamation.

Meanwhile, Taylor picked up her smartphone and turned it on.

Korean baseball game was playing on her smartphone, and Yekaterina, who was gazing at the clouds a few moments ago, also showed interest towards it.

“Oh. Is that baseball? I also like it.”

“Yes. Do you know the rules?”

“It’s a sport that earns points by throwing a baseball ball and hitting the goalkeeper’s head.”

“Are you serious?”

“Ah, of course it’s a joke!”

“But it’s right?”

“Ye…yes?”

Yekaterina opened her eyes wide. She was really joking, but deep down she was wondering if the rules of baseball changed without her knowing.

“Because the team I’m supporting plays just the way you talked about.”

“Ah…. Then, which team are you cheering for?”

Yekaterina asked every single question carefully. It was like she was trying to get to know the world through conversation. Taylor didn’t know much about her circumstances, but after talking with her only for a while, she realized that she had been trapped somewhere.

For that reason, albeit she was annoyed, she still gave her an answer.

“Hwade.”

“Oh, um…. Which player do you like?”

“None. They are all trash.”

“Ah, I see.”

Most of their conversations were like that.

But Yekaterina kept talking to Taylor about many things. As if she was happy that she could talk openly with someone else.

Yekaterina, who constantly chattered like a sparrow, soon fell asleep, and Taylor shook her head and watched KBO on her smartphone.

Time passed quickly, and it didn’t take long for them to arrive in Korea.

“It’s really fast!”

“It’s fast because you are asleep…”

Taylor looked ahead.

Incheon Airport. Arrival gate.

It’s a place she often passed by, but today it felt different.

She rummaged through her pocket and pulled out one of her sunglasses.

Then she suddenly turned to her side and noticed Yekaterina, who was looking around, and gave her one as well

“What is this for?”

“Because camera flash will hurt your eyes.”

“Hmm?”

Taylor explained in a rather ambiguous tone. Even Yekaterina, who had a good grasp on conversations, couldn’t understand what she was talking about.

Dragging her carrier and walking confidently towards the door, Taylor said to Yekaterina.

“If you go outside, there will be many people who come to see you.”

“Why…?”

When the door opened, dozens of reporters were lining up in front of the door of the international airport of Korea, which Yekaterina thought was a far place.

‘Here it is.’

And then a barrage of questions were aimed towards both of them.

“(Yekaterina!)”

“(Why did you decide to go to Korea…!)”

“(What kind of relationship do you have with the guild master of Another League Yoo seodam……!)”

“(About magic…!)”

The translation device and the human voice interlocked. The noise was all over the place. Only then, Yekaterina realized that something was wrong. She faltered and took a few steps back. Her heart beat wildly. This is because it was her first time being surrounded by so many people.

She wanted to run away, but her feet didn’t move. She tried to tell Taylor she wanted to go back. But, Taylor only smirked at her.

“Tsktsk. Watch what this Unnie will do carefully.”

“…..?”

Before Yekaterina could ask what she meant, Taylor dragged her carrier and walked forward. She raised her fist to the air and raised her middle finger.

“Fuck you!”

She shouted.

“……!”

It was surprising for Yekaterina.

Wouldn’t all those black people, who felt so terrifying, be embarrassed?

From then on, Taylor walked confidently and spoke in Russian, not Korean.

“We will tell you everything in an official interview later. So go now! Go home early.”

The barrier that was in front of them gradually collapses. Like the miracle of Moses, a path was opened up in the middle of the crowd. In fact, this phenomenon was the know-how of reporters. They knew that nothing good would come out of blocking a Hunter’s path. But it really looked like a miracle to Yekaterina’s eyes, who wasn’t aware of that fact.

Even in front of so many people, Taylor courage and confidence was something that Yekaterina envied.

“Hey, aren’t you coming?”

“······!”

Eventually, they reached the end of the path and found a certain man standing there. He smiled towards them and waved his hand. It was a stupid yet trusting look that Yekaterina could recognize.

It was the man Yekaterina only saw inside her dream. However, she could see, hear and touch him directly.

By meeting him, she was able to gain real freedom both in her dream and in reality.

“This is the first time I’m meeting you, Yekaterina.”

Yekaterina nodded her head at the pompous greeting. She was somehow thrilled. Then, she spoke at him in an awkward Korean.

“I wanted to meet you too.”

[The world’s first ‘Magic’ was unveiled by the Morian Guild!]

[Amazing! SS rank variant dungeon in Moscow]

[The hunters are ‘amazed’ by the superpower of Taylor Blestash]

[Wizard Yekaterina, why is she a member of the Korean guild?]

[‘Another League’ possessing both martial arts and magic…]

Magic was revealed to the world.

It was a field where even an incompetent hunter could acquire an ability through learning.

Also, even those who are incompetent can learn!

It was natural for the whole world to turn upside down. It wasn’t because the incompetent could learn this ability. But because everyone could become a skilled person if they desired.

Although the production cost of the ‘essence dispenser’ was beyond imagination, the academic accessibility was also extremely difficult. It was only a matter of time before that part was resolved.

Avon, the master of the Morian Guild, held a press conference the very next day after the dungeon breakout.

“Since the birth of mankind, there have been numerous discoveries and numerous inventions.”

Somehow, it was a hot voice filled with passion.

“Mankind was the first to discover and deal with fire a million years ago, electricity around 600 B.C., invented and dealt with gunpowder around the 7th century, discovered the magnetic field in the 13th century, coal and oil after the 18th century industrial revolution. And in the 19th century, we finally developed electromagnetism, and finally in the 21st century we started dealing with nuclear fission/fusion.”

While all cameras around the world were paying attention, Avon slowly released the press conference as if giving a speech.

“And then 31 years ago, humanity discovered ether energy and finally reached the pinnacle of science.”

Somehow, her voice was filled with emotion.

“But, today!!”

She seems to be choking.

As if she was sincerely blessed with the great discovery of mankind.

“Humankind has once again discovered new energy called ‘essence’ and raising the possibility of endless development! Essence, this fantastic power, is the energy generated by the circulation of nature and the universe itself, and it is an infinite energy which would never dry out. And we can use this energy to use the mysterious and great science of ‘magic’!”

When Avon finished his speech, people gave her a standing ovation, and reporters screamed questions.

“I have a question!”

“What do you think about the fact that the previous SS rank deformed dungeon could not be closed!”

“In the case of another magician, Yekaterina, she said she was from Korea’s Another League, please tell us about it!”

A lot of questions came in, but she got rid of unnecessary questions and answered only those that were as stimulating as possible.

“Ah Yekaterina? I am sorry for her. We’ve been working on Essence Energy for hundreds of years, and Yekaterina was one of our researchers. But just yesterday, in an official party, she betrayed our Morian guild and left.”

“Would that mean…?”

Avon said with an expression of broken heart.

“Her magical knowledge belongs to the Morian Guild. As evidence, we have vast amounts of information amounted to hundreds of years.”

Both Superpower and Mystical ability were now recognized as property. It was a very sensitive issue both socially and commercially. Moreover, what if the dispute was about ‘magic’ becoming a hot issue these days? She could never let it pass.

“Hey, I have no choice but to respond to Yekaterina and her guild, Another League based on the ‘superpower special intellectual property’.”

Shortly after, camera shutters started popping out from all directions.

‘Yes, Yekaterina. I don’t know how you learn magic, but….’

She was definitely showing a little more advanced magic than Avon herself, but it was meaningless.

Because the origins of all magic in this world eventually began with the Morian Guild!

No matter how excellent magic techniques she used, Yekaterina left the huge castle called Morian and headed for a very small boat. Moreover the boat was not even capable of fighting against them.

According to the Witch’s Law, witches must keep their promises. Because if they break their promise, they’ll lose both their magic and eyesight.

if so.

She needed to make Yekaterina break her promise and make her come back on her own.

‘Come back, Yekaterina. Magic is ours.’
