    < Episode 87 – Cleaning Up >

    Reaching S-rank means that you have reached the end of Heavenly Knight.

    Of course the problem is that the lowest ability level for a Heavenly Knight starts from S.

    Even with abilities at the extreme end it was easy to tear a reinforced human with Durability B to pieces with bare hands.

    Jjiji-Ik puddeuk.

    The artificial skin and reinforced skeleton broke and organs from various monsters that had been surgically transplanted came out.

    Meanwhile metal parts were also mixed in.

    “Ah—”

    Damo pulled the trigger with a mesmerized look on his face.

    However the ball only hit the empty chamber in vain.

    Gonghyuk stepped on his wrist and broke it.

    “I counted the bullets earlier. “You didn’t reload.”

    “Jae□Jeon?”

    The pronunciation of gun was muffled in his mouth.

    “What happened? “B also forgot how to use his body.”

    “B?”

    Damo reacted to a certain word.

    Little by little light returned to his eyes.

    “Bergoglio! “My colleague!”

    “okay. “Your colleague.”

    “Why aren’t you coming forward! colleague!”

    Damo looked around and cried.

    “Here is our goal! Joo□Hyuk is here! We must kill him! Come out comrade! Come out! Come out and fight together!”

    ‘Comrade! Same□□□□ as me!’ He cried constantly.

    But no one came forward.

    Brown fluid began to flow from D’s eyes and his speech gradually lost language and turned into the howl of an animal.

    but. No one came forward.

    “□□ Ham□ □□□……”

    The unintelligible howling subsided and D’s functions completely stopped.

    [You have defeated Future Person ‘D’.]

    [One white coin is given as a reward.]

    Gonghyuk picked up the fallen white coin.

    In that place was a man who came to the past to save the world and met his end while crying out for his comrades.

    Gonghyuk smiled without realizing it.

    “It’s the best.”

    Bergoglio and Damo.

    ‘It was all fun.’

    While fighting them Gonghyeok couldn’t help but shiver every time.

    Assassins who fight against him with transcendent future weapons and strong will.

    Whenever they fought with all their might and died cruelly Joo Gong-hyeok felt an indescribable ‘fun.’

    ‘Honestly after the 10th episode I was bored no matter what I did.

    But this time it’s wrong. ‘They are using their knowledge to intervene in an obviously predetermined scenario.’

    Moreover their cause that Gonghyeok does not know about.

    ‘For the sake of the world Joo Gong-hyuk kills you.’

    It elevated their deaths from the death of an assassin to that of an unknown hero.

    ‘How many people are left? Twenty-one people? If that amount were to attack all at once there would be no answer. I guess I’ll have to fight them off individually too.’

    I get goosebumps.

    What weapons and strategies will they come to me with?

    At what point will they step in and try to ruin my scenario?

    Develop a plan of attack against an unknown opponent step by step.

    It was the greatest pleasure for Joo Gong-hyeok who had lived in a predetermined world for hundreds of years.

    “Hahahaha! good. “This is good!”

    Gonghyuk filled with elation picked up D’s belongings.

    The third type of combat weapon of the Gishin tribe. Automatic Gauss pistol.

    A unique model created based on it and modified by Williford Hoover the owner of Avatar Hephaestus.

    That is the second type of combat weapon. It was Kohzion the Eroder.

    ‘The material is the 45th floor boss erosion tree.

    With 2 types of weapons it would be about SS by human standards. Since the Kishin tribe has a wide range this is actually about SS-.’

    This is less powerful than the photon magic cannon which is a type 1 weapon.

    However like Bergoglio it was useful in that it could be used without a battery or by modifying the body.

    ‘It would be nice to make a holster and hang it around your waist.’

    Even the bullet generator that came with the gun was removed and placed in the inventory.

    ‘The interesting thing is that it has been roughly summarized. There isn’t much time left so I need to clean up after myself.’

    Now was not the time for leisurely rewards or evaluations.

    The only rule of ‘Goseong Mission’.

    Rule 1. Survive until dawn the next day.

    [There are 20 minutes left until dawn.]

    The time for the mission to end is getting closer.

    I stand in front of Jeong Hyeon-do who is stretched out like a rag between the collapsed bricks.

    A light soccer kick to his abdomen.

    Pow!

    “Chief Jeong. wake up.”

    “Ugh!”

    He woke up in a fit and looked up at Joo Gong-hyeok in confusion.

    “What are you…”

    “Jeong Hyeon-do.”

    Joo Gong-hyuk the murderer and not team leader Joo Gong-hyuk asked him.

    “I don’t have much time now.”

    “hour?”

    “There are 20 minutes left until the mission ends?”

    “What?”

    Jeong Hyeon-do was startled and checked his watch.

    One minute has already passed and 19 minutes remain.

    “I don’t have time so I’ll explain quickly.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok raised his finger.

    “I’m going to search here. Or do you want to be my subordinate?”

    “Are you saving me?”

    “According to this. “You have a lot to do.”

    He picked the first finger.

    “Once I get back I will cut down the apostles who came to see me and burn all the necromancers.”

    “Burn it?”

    “And you and I will become the new apostles of the Company.”

    “…!”

    “Next time I will become the owner of the company.”

    “……?”

    “Case solved.”

    After making such a loud noise without hesitation Jeong Hyeon-do asked back in bewilderment.

    “What the hell….”

    Bye!

    Joo Gong-hyeok’s steel boot hit his cheek and he expressed his intention that he did not want to hear any more.

    As a sign of physical communication the inside of Jeong Hyeon-do’s mouth was torn and pieces of broken teeth were sticking out.

    “You said you didn’t have time right? “I have to clean up after myself.”

    “hmm.”

    Jeong Hyeon-do remained silent without showing any pain.

    Joo Gong-hyeok looks back at the refugees around him.

    The refugees felt something and took a step back.

    “Jeong Hyeon-do. Finish the cleanup in 10 minutes. If you can’t kill it in there you will die.”

    “In 10 minutes.”

    “It’s not a warning it’s not a joke. Just like the vampires who just had their heads smashed you too will die. “I will especially crush you with my bare fists.”

    “……”

    “A person’s head explodes with one punch.” Have you seen it?”

    Joo Gong-hyeok looked down at his fist and spoke softly.

    “The people you saved will be able to see what it’s like. There are 8 minutes left. Jeong Hyeon-do.”

    “Eight minutes.”

    Jeong Hyeon-do slowly stood up.

    He had to be killed anyway even without Joo Gong-hyeok’s orders.

    Since he has revealed that he is a devil contractor and a traitor to the Company not a single witness must be left behind.

    To that end he had placed teleportation signs everywhere in advance.

    “Can I call you Joo Gong-hyeok?”

    “as you please.”

    But there was one thing that bothered me.

    Jeong Hyeon-do said while looking at his weapon a club.

    “A knife. Can you lend me it? “I don’t want to beat them to death with a club or something.”

    “Ugh!”

    “Run away!”

    The remaining people ran screaming out of the destroyed castle.

    Joo Gong-hyeok threw the ‘Holy Sword Lumen Doct’ that he had just received as a reward.

    “Start.”

    [New Haengtaebo Daejong (A-)’s final ability ‘Chukjibeop’ activated]

    Joo Gong-hyeok’s signal.

    Jeong Hyeon-do who received the knife disappeared.

    Screams continued throughout the castle.

    Moving to hundreds of locations Jeong Hyeon-do subdued refugees.

    “Great Jeong Hyeon-do! “Do you think this body will be easily defeated?”

    “Urajil! Do you know who I am? “The Billhofer Solver’s Guild…”

    Several seasoned mercenaries banded together to fight back.

    However Jeong Hyeon-do glanced at his watch and grabbed the contractor’s necklace around his neck.

    [Demon Contract Ability Demonstration – Space Expansion]

    [Limit time 90 seconds]

    The mercenaries’ avatars and attacks became infinitely distant and Jeong Hyeon-do’s attack targeted a vital point with one shot from an unreachable distance.

    It was the ability to contract to expand or contract space at will.

    “Don’t fall if you have no legs! “Stand up with grit!”

    “Whether it’s your neck or stomach if the knife sticks in you grab it with your hand!”

    “Damn it! Easier said than done!”

    Seasoned mercenaries who survived even in difficult situations.

    However it was impossible for them who were injured to withstand Jeong Hyeon-do who had even unleashed his contractor’s power.

    “Huh huh huh!”

    Jeong Hyeon-do took a deep breath.

    The holy sword dripped with the blood of the people he had dealt with.

    Clap clap clap.

    “You’re good at it right? “I finished it in 5 minutes.”

    Joo Gong-hyuk clapped and praised.

    Jeong Hyeon-do hides his painful feelings with an expressionless expression.

    Gonghyeok stacked three layers of vampire corpses and placed his buttocks on top of them.

    “ruler. “There are 13 minutes left. Shall we start detailed negotiations?”

    “What are you going to do to me?”

    “How can I do it? “If you listen well I will help you achieve success.”

    “career?”

    “Okay maybe a manager or deputy manager? “I’ll hand over one of the company’s eight departments.”

    The Company was an alliance of several businesses including the escort division alchemy division and food production division.

    In other words they are saying that they will make Jeong Hyeon-do a director of the company.

    It was good to hear but Hyeon-do did not feel any sense of trust in the current situation where his life was at stake.

    “How can you believe that?”

    “If you want you can leave it as a contract. La Jehuti.”

    = It is time for vows.

    La Jehuti appeared in the air and unfolded a huge papyrus.

    [La Jehuti’s first ability ‘365-day oath’ is activated.]

    = Hunter Joo Gong-hyeok and Hunter Jeong Hyeon-do. State the contents of the pledge.

    “I Joo Gong-hyeok will not kill Jeong Hyeon-do for the next three years. “And within three months I will promote him to deputy director and after he fulfills his contract I will protect him as much as possible so that the Reaper Church or the Demon Contractor does not threaten Jeong Hyeon-do.”

    = What is the price?

    “If this is violated each of Joo Gong-hyeok’s stats will be reduced by 500 points.”

    Feathers passed busily over the papyrus.

    = I recorded it. What is Hunter Jeong Hyeon-do’s pledge?

    “Jeong Hyeon-do will strictly obey my orders for the next three months. If he refuses he will be subject to the same punishment as Joo Gong-hyeok.”

    “Now wait!”

    Jeong Hyeon-do hurriedly stopped him.

    “hmm? It’s not over yet. Joo Gong-hyeok does not commit sexual harassment or senseless cruelty nor does he order suicide or give orders that clearly lead to death.”

    = Do you agree? Hyeondo Jeong pledger.

    Ra Jehuti who had written down his oath looked down at the human.

    Jeong Hyeon-do spoke with difficulty.

    “If what you say is true even if it’s not 100% true wouldn’t you be able to send me to a place with a high risk of death and pretend not to notice?”

    “Jeong Hyeon-do.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok chuckled from the pile of corpses.

    “If you refuse you will 100% die here.”

    This was a threat disguised as a negotiation.

    The devil has all the choices of life or death.

    Jeong Hyeon-do nodded accepting the reality that even more conditions could not be rejected.

    “I will agree later.”

    = The oath is stated. This pledge lasts 90 days between the parties and some treaties remain valid even after the contract period has expired.

    This oath becomes the law that constitutes the world and is strictly observed.

    [180 days are cut from a 365-day contract.

    – Contract maintenance for 2 contractees for 90 days.

    – Recovery takes 180 days.]

    As soon as the vows were completed La Jehuti disappeared.

    Gonghyuk took out a cigarette and asked.

    “Good. Welcome to becoming partners. Manager Jeong.”

    “Are you a business partner?”

    “Then let’s call it a fixed-term slave.”

    Jeong Hyeon-do who had been downgraded from a partner to a slave remained silent.

    “So Mr. Fixed-Term Slave. There’s still one left. Should I kill him too?”

    “The one left behind? “Are you talking about your team members in the basement?”

    “No not them. “There’s still one left.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok pointed to a mat in the corner.

    There was someone hidden there by Jeong Hyeon-do.

    Jeong Hyeon-do was so surprised that it took his breath away.

    “for a moment! He put me to sleep with sleeping pills! “They’ve never heard of us so there’s no need to kill them!”

    “If I kill you kill me.”

    Joo Gong-hyuk exhaled cool smoke.

    “Cesc. “Bring it.”

    Jeong Hyeon-do’s face was distorted beyond words.
