Chapter 351: Don’t even pretend like you are our team member (3)

Translator: miraclerifle

"What’s wrong? Don’t you already remember us? You remember everything from when you were on our team as well.”

John was really shocked to hear Ju-Heon's comments. His gaze didn't look as if he was feeling him out.

Ju-Heon’s gaze was full of certainty.

‘Did he notice it?’

But John wasn’t the type to lose his pace because of something like this.

“Huh? Team member? I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Ju-Heon smiled as if he found John to be despicable.

“I told you not to try your terrible acting. Then how did you avoid Seol-A’s radar earlier?”

John slyly laughed.

“You’re looking down on Pandora too much. We’ve analyzed all of your abilities a long time ago.”

“Oh. You're going to feign ignorance until the end?”

“Hmph, I have no idea what y...”

But at that moment... Ju-Heon suddenly pulled something out.

It was a crossbow!

‘!’

The team members flinched out of reflex. It was normal to be wary of a weapon and look at it.

However, at that moment!

Flash!

There was a bright light and the team members screamed.

“Ahhhhhh!”

“Ow, ow, my eyes! It hurts!”

“Hey! Seo Ju-Heon!”

The great and mighty Julian seemed to have been affected this time as well and couldn’t open his eyes.

“What the hell did you just use?!”

All of the team members were in pain. It felt as if some rain had dropped into their eyes but they couldn’t see anything.

“Fuck, I can't see anything! What the hell?! Wasn't that a crossbow?!”

But there was someone who was still fine.

Ju-Heon chuckled mischievously.

“See. I knew you remembered this.”

He was right. John bit down on his lips and slightly opened his eyes.

‘Why did he have to take that out of all things?’

Jaeha got angry at that moment.

“Ow, fuck that crossbow! What the hell is that?! Why the hell did you do that...?!”

Why did Ju-Heon do this?

“It was before I met all of you...so, it was before I joined TKBM. It was a book artifact I temporarily used while on the guerrilla team.”

[John Milton - The book of a blind poet (S-Grade:Legendary Hero Grade - Consumable Artifact)]

What was this book? It was an artifact belonging to a writer who was as famous as Shakespear in England. Milton was known as one of the most famous poets with Homer, but he ended up going blind.

This artifact would make a person go blind while giving them inspiration.

Of course, Ju-Heon used it differently and just used it as a flash grenade.

The team members started to complain.

“I was wondering what kind of weird stuff you were buying from the auctions!”

“Who the hell makes a book artifact look like a damn crossbow?! Motherfucker!”

Ju-Heon looked toward the frowning John and continued to speak.

“Now then. How did you know the abilities of this artifact and close your eyes when nobody knows about it?”

“.......”

He looked toward Julian who was still groaning in pain.

“Even the world’s greatest analyzer, our Kongming, couldn’t figure out the abilities of this artifact before I activated it.”

They were even warier of it and kept their eyes wide open because they all thought it was a weapon.

They would have been crazy to close their eyes.

That was why the fact that John closed his eyes was proof that he was Ju-Heon’s former team member.

‘This artifact is one I used when this bastard was on my team.’

“I recommend you stop feigning ignorance.”

Ilya agreed with Ju-Heon.

“That’s right. This son of a bitch hasn’t gotten caught by my artifact since earlier either. It means he knows exactly what it takes to activate my artifact.”

John clicked his tongue.

‘I guess it is meaningless to trick them anymore.’

It was a waste since he ordered all sorts of artifacts from Merlin to take care of these bastards.

That was probably the reason. This man who was at one point John... And at another point Samuel... Had no choice but to take off his mask.

“Yes, to be more specific, I was there to keep an eye on you guys but both Yang Chen and I were responsible for getting you guys killed. What's wrong? Was I not supposed to do that?”

"Samuel!”

"Seo Ju-Heon was one of the Majesty candidates.

The rest of you were taken out because the Executive Board said some bullshit about you guys taking their spots or something.”

“Then you...when you died in that tomb...!”

“I didn’t die. You dumbasses.”

John then activated his Christian artifacts.

Boom!

A holy light descended on the airport. A church suddenly appeared.

It started to grow in size and make the ground glow.

“Ugh!”

“Sorry, but I need to capture you guys here. It'll be really bad if the scoop about Un-known is released!”

John smiled.

‘Pandora's soldiers should have gone to attack the press and the reporters by now.’

He probably didn’t have to worry about that side. The ones he did need to worry about were Seo Ju-Heon and his tomb raiding team.

‘I have no choice. I have to get rid of them here.’

He activated his artifact!

The first to scream was Ilya.

“Aaah!”

It was because of the Christian believer artifacts.

[The power of the believers of Jehovah is activating.]

[An angel is descending after hearing the singing of believers.]

[The devils are in pain.]

Ilay felt as if he would die. He was the Monarch of Devils, the mighty satan! He might be okay if he used Beelzebub's artifact, but...

“You really do still have trauma with these artifacts. Is it because of the girlfriend you killed?”

“......This motherfucker!”

That wasn’t all.

Booboboboooooooooom!

“That is?!”

[The Ten Commandments artifact that condemns humans is being activated.]

Moses’s Ten Commandments artifact had descended. This was a punishment-type artifact that would be difficult for humans to dodge!

A light shot out of it and mercilessly started to attack Ju-Heon's team members.

Bang! Babababang!

Julian frowned as he watched the rays of light shoot out like lasers.

‘Ugh, we got a lot of injuries from the Great Prison because of the copies of this artifact.’

On the other hand, John was snorting.

‘These really should be enough.’

The best thing to do in this situation would be to call out his SS-Grade artifacts such as the Archangel artifacts or any Jesus-related artifacts, but......

‘I put up that stupid act and lost my right arm.’

He could not use those artifacts right now.

“These artifacts should be enough for you guys.”

They were all mainly S-Grade artifacts but religion-type artifacts tended to be powerful.

Part of it was because they received God’s buff, but artifacts themselves gained extra buffs based on people's awareness of their identity. With Christianity being one of the most known religions in the world, there was no way these artifacts would not be strong.

But at that moment...

Swish!

“This bitch thinks he's the shit because he got his fancy religion artifacts.”

“!”

“Does he think he is some sort of god?”

John jumped in shock after hearing a voice behind him. The moment he turned around...!

Bang!

A strong aura exploded.

This aura was like a tornado! John glared at Ju-Heon after being pushed back by that aura.

‘Seo Ju-Heon...!’

Something seemed odd with this aura. To be more specific, it looked extremely dangerous.

‘!’

[The Majesty's Key is reacting to the user’s anger.]

[The Key of Wrath is showing signs of awakening.]

‘That is?!’

John frowned while looking at something. The thing releasing the chaotic aura was a mask keychain on Ju-Heon’s phone.

It was Tutankhamun's artifact.

‘That is the Majesty's Key!’

He was sure of it. The Key of Wrath was about to awaken. This was the first time a key was awakening without receiving 1,000 sacrifices!

Ju-Heon had massacred sooooo many artifacts with unbelievable methods to achieve that, but...

‘Is this bastard perhaps...’

Wrath. He was so consumed by his wrath that he would kill his own team member as well, making the artifact react to him.

Keys could be awakened by committing the specific sin related to that artifact.

No matter what, John was ironically Ju-Heon’s former team member. Wanting to kill him was enough to meet the conditions of wrath that he was so angry he would kill without caring about who it was.

It was at that moment.

[The Key of Wrath has awakened.]

[You are able to use the Key of Wrath's innate door (power).]

[There are only a few more to go until the Majesty's Key is completed.]

[You are not far from being able to open every door down to the doors in the deepest part of the Great Prison.]

[You are getting closer to awakening as the Majesty.]

Jaeha started shaking as he watched.

“T, the Captain-nim is really fucking angry.”

Ju-Heon was giving off a level of murderous intent they had not seen in a long time.

“Before I joined TKBM... You killed all of our team members on the guerrilla team.”

Ju-Heon had been on a guerrilla team before being scouted.

However, they were all murdered by John.

“Then you shamelessly walk in as Samuel and mess with my stuff again?”

It was obvious why Ju-Heon was this angry. If he knew that Samuel was John, he would have ground him up and drank him as a protein smoothie a long time ago.

While he had not known that in the past... There was a big difference between hearing rumors and confirming things to be true.

Now he knew.

“Religion-type artifacts? I’ll just have fun oppressing them.”

‘What? Oppress?’

Gold started to appear in the airport as soon as Ju-Heon said that.

Booboboboooooooooom!

They were Hellenistic golden architecture.

And then...

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

A murderous fire viciously shot up.

They were the fires of Nero who was said to have oppressed the Christian church.

[#$$#&!]

Ahhhhhhhh! Don’t kill me!

[#$#&!]

Aaah! I'm going to burn to death!

“This bastard!”

The fire was much stronger than usual, as if it had met the perfect enemy.

There were rumors that Nero had caused the fire to oppress the Christian church.

Even if the truth was different, this artifact was born from such rumors. That murderous arsonist’s fire started to burn John and his artifacts.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

It was an extremely strong fire.

[Hahahaha! Let me burn everything!

Please let me burn them all! More! More!]

Nero's current crazed excitement made it hard to believe that he was the artifact of sloth. Maybe he was being influenced by the newly awakened Key of Wrath.

John groaned and changed his plans.

‘I need to first run away!’

But there was no way that the wicked Ju-Heon would let him do that.

[Kahahaha! I wonder what that artifact is!]

Ju-Heon seemed to have made up his mind as he summoned Ramesses as well. Ramesses was also famous for having suppressed the Christian church!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Stupid bastards. Let me watch you despair! You cannot run away from me!]

Ramesses, who was famous for exiling Moses, started going crazy as soon as he saw Moses’s Ten Commandments artifact.

[Destroy everything! Destroy them! The Egyptian gods are the only true gods in the world! Actually, I am the only great and mighty god in this world!]

John was grinding his teeth while glaring at Ju-Heon. But Ju-Heon, who had become the king of oppression, was growling without caring about it.

“Don’t get the wrong idea. I don't really have any negative feelings about religion. I just happen to have the perfect artifacts for the occasion.”

“!”

Ju-Heon then viciously growled.

"What are you doing? Make sure that nothing, not even a single fucking rat, can get out of here.”

Nero and Ramesses's artifacts started going wild.

[Oppression! Burn those bastards to death!]

[Execute these insolent masses who refuse to believe in the exalted Egyptian gods!]

‘Damn it!’

John was desperately running right now. He was running from Ju-Heon's team! That was probably the reason. He was regretting his decisions.

‘Tsk, I should never have tried such a stupid plan and started with an Archangel or Jehovah’s artifact!’

He would not be able to use Divine-Grade artifacts until his right hand was healed.

‘Should I abduct Chloe and force her to heal me?

Or maybe abduct that bastard Jaeha and steal his phoenix?’

As John was running for his life...

Bang!

“Ugh!”

A car next to him was sent flying. It was Seol-A's ghost.

That wasn’t all. The excited Nero was slowly condensing his net.

John’s Christian believer artifacts were groaning before being ruthlessly destroyed.

‘Even if they were said to have oppressed Christians, it doesn't mean that my Christian artifacts are necessary at a disadvantage, but......’

His Dominance had fallen quite a bit because he had lost his arm.

John then recalled the key that Ju-Heon had just awakened.

‘That bastard has already awakened three keys.’

It would be a major headache if he awakened all seven of them.

Why?

The key’s abilities become better and better until it becomes perfect. Once it reaches its full capacity, this bastard...

‘He will definitely barge into the Druid’s Clocktower that is being protected by Merlin as well.’

They might even lose the throne at that rate. He had declared his plans to do so already!

‘We need to stop that no matter what...’

He soon shook his head.

‘The Un-known issue is more urgent than a set of keys that has not fully awakened.’

That had to do with the livelihood of Pandora.

As a result... He quickly contacted his allies.

[Are you blocking the media?]

[Yes. Currently in the process.]

John laughed with relief.

‘It's not like Un-known is an issue anyway.’

Of course, it could be seen as an ethical problem. And even if they weren't actually using a Majesty’s artifact to make it happen......

It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

‘It’s a chance for the sick to receive new lives.’

What did he mean by that?

It would be like Louie, who everybody thought was Jaeha’s son.

‘Louie Martin is an Un-known made from the future Jaeha who died.’

Wasn't this a great way to spin things? But at that moment...

“!”

John, who had been running away from Ju-Heon’s team so well, suddenly stopped.

Why?

“W, what the hell?”

Something shocking was going on in front of him.
