At last, we narrowed the search down to a single district. It didn’t matter how densely populated Seonan-dong was. I stationed staff throughout the area, paying special attention to high foot traffic zones, and instructed them to stay on alert 24/7. But even after several months, not a single significant lead surfaced. Not one of my people spotted Johan. Not even a strand of his hair. "I'm sorry, Guild Leader Simeon." They’d all seen Johan’s face through <Portrait of Saint Germain>,…-

In the days leading up to the end, I spent time with some of the members of The Apostles, one by one. I attended a gemstone auction with Raphael, bought Matteo the beef I’d promised him ages ago, and went to a long-awaited overseas orchestra performance with Shinhwan. There wasn’t any deeper meaning behind it. I just wanted to settle my thoughts quietly in my own way. And yet, the more memories I made, the harder it became to leave. Attachment was a terrifying thing. I’d drawn the line, told…-

The train's speed had slowed significantly. Yet, no announcement was made about any mechanical failure. The dimly lit interior quickly filled with uneasy murmurs. Just as I was beginning to suspect this was all part of his plan… "Mom, look!" A child's voice, full of excitement, cut through the tense atmosphere. The boy pointed outside, and instantly, all eyes followed. Boom, boom—! With loud explosions, fireworks burst into the dark sky. Each dazzling explosion sent waves of colorful…-

It was an unusually bright moonlit night. The forest didn’t appear to be one where people usually walked—there wasn’t even a path in sight—and somewhere in the distance, the eerie hoot of an owl echoed. For a dream, it felt way too vivid. I stood there blankly, staring up at the moon, when suddenly, my pocket vibrated. “…Simeon?” Now he was even calling me in my dreams? I picked up the call before the ringing stopped. “…Uh… no?” Well, I wasn’t technically…-

The sound of the wind brushing against the leaves no longer felt comforting. The soft rustle near my ears felt like crawling insects. And then, I felt it—eyes watching from somewhere. Glancieng around quickly, I finally saw it. A screaming man’s face was embedded in the tree trunk Simeon was leaning against. “T-There…” At first, I didn’t even recognize it as a face. The bark’s deep brown, rough surface looked nothing like skin. But starting from the hollowed-out knotholes where eyes…-

Last night, the full moon greeted us as we finally defeated the last water creature. I spent the morning thoroughly re-reading the original Divine Comedy to prepare for our journey. Considering that I was heading to hell, my preparations were surprisingly minimal. All I carried in my pocket was a dagger and my mother’s will. As midnight approached, I went down to the first floor as we’d organized. Simeon, who’d arrived early, was talking with Enoch. I cautiously approached, not wanting to…-

"Live ammunition is dangerous." When Simeon smoothly deflected the comment, Hyunseong shrugged his shoulders and laughed. “Haha! I’ve completely misjudged you.” “.....” “Mr. Hajae, your boss is actually quite entertaining, hm?" From the start, Simeon knew. He knew that if he threatened Hyunseong with a gun, Hyunseong would use his ability on the auctioneer. He also knew that the auctioneer would try to grab the gun, which is why Simeon deliberately approached with an unloaded…-

Although I wasn’t sure exactly what method drove them to their deaths, the key was fear. Could the culprit have been able to spread emotions like awakener A-P-91? Keeping that in mind, I meticulously reviewed the list. But there weren’t any awakened individuals there who could’ve been the culprit. "Is this information really accurate, though? Couldn’t someone have deceived The Association and registered falsely?" Considering I’d lived my whole life hiding the fact that I’d…-

Even if I’d absorbed half of the sword’s power, didn’t I still need the sword to harness that power? I thought of <Bloodletting Sword> currently stored in the depths of the Ark as I opened my mouth. “Should I fetch the sword?” “There is no need.” “Then…?” Mujeong didn’t answer. He merely gave a meaningful smile. Soon, he walked over to a wall lined with various weapons and brought back a tiny dagger, barely the size of a palm. Was he expecting me to fight with that…-

"I know it sounds crazy, but I think it's the only way to beat Mujeong." "Well, it's an interesting way to do it..." Raphael swallowed hard and glanced at Simeon with concern as if he were silently asking him for help since we knew we couldn't do it alone. But Simeon’s answer was far from what we expected. "I’ll do whatever you say." I never thought he’d agree right away. Even though it was a good thing, I was momentarily dumbfounded. "You're not joking… are you?" When Raphael…-
