“Nice to meet you. I’m Do Jae-hyun, the Evil Hunter n Master.”
“I’m Kim Chae-eun, a n member.”
“I’m Han Sang-jin, the nning team leader.”
Our n members gathered inrge numbers at the <Wings of Freedom> n Tower.
Along with Kim Chae-eun and me who came together, the nning team leader Han Sang-jin and several of his subordinate staff members apanied us for this task.
Although Park Jin-woo and Cami are also in New York, they didn’t attend as they’re on vacation.
From the start, it was a busy time, so we tactfully didn’t even mention it to them.“Nice to meet you. I’m Liam Hendricks.”
Hendricks seemed quite pleased to see us, extending his hand with a bright smile.
He had been showing favor towards me before, and it seems he feels an even deeper bond with me and our n after experiencing a series of events together.
‘…This feels strange.’
Liam Hendricks, the world’s strongest Holder.
When I first became a Holder, he was someone I could only read about in news articles, but now we’re facing each other as leaders of our respective organizations. It gave me a unique sense of aplishment.
I fully realized that our n and I had gained world-ss fame.
“Did you have any trouble getting here?” Hendricks asked with a smile.
I teasingly replied, “Hendricks. You’re asking that on purpose, aren’t you?”
“Ah? Haha! I’m sorry. To forget about yesterday’s incident, that’s my mistake.”
The news of the arena terror attack that struck New York.
It was the first time the United States had suffered damage from the Ludenark faction, and it showed that even America was no longer a safe zone.
Especially since I, who came to New York from Korea on business, resolved the incident in just one minute, it became a huge topic of discussion.
Recently, I was promoted to S-grade Holder and made a name for myself in the international Holdermunity, but this incident seemed to multiply that fame several times over.
Somementators even gave me the title ‘Hero of New York’, but honestly, I’d like to stop hearing the nickname ‘hero’ now.
“I’d like to express my gratitude on behalf of New York and American citizens. You’ve done a great thing.”
I smiled at Hendricks as he expressed his thanks.
“Just like how Hendricks helped Korea?”
“Haha. I guess it does work out that way.”
“If we include the promotion assessment, I think I’ve received more help.”
“Holder Do Jae-hyun is even modest. Well, shall we go inside?”
“Yes.”
Befitting America’s pursuit of freedom and the n name <Wings of Freedom>, Hendricks’ master room had a very unique structure.
An entire floor of the building wasposed of the master room, with the interior decorated with vegetation as if a vast garden had unfolded.
Further inside, there was a small pool, and sun beds and cocktail tables that you might find at a resort.
…It’s hard to tell if this is a master room or a vacation spot.
“I quite enjoy having fun. Even in the n.”
“You live pleasurably.”
“Shouldn’t even Holder work have a purpose?”
Even the world’s strongest Holder doesn’t work solely out of a sense of duty.
His Holder philosophy was evident just from the structure of the master room and a few words.
Going further inside, we came to a conference room with simr interior design.
The nning teams from <Evil Hunter> and <Wings of Freedom> were all seated, with Hendricks and I sitting facing each other.
That’s when the real business talk began.
“Our Wings of Freedom n hopes to form the highest level of friendly agreement with the Evil Hunter n.”
While there were several purposes for this meeting, the core topic was indeed about the ‘friendly agreement.’
It’s an agreement we had already made with the top 3 domestic ns when our n was first established.
But while the previous friendly agreement was formal, aimed at the stable establishment of <Evil Hunter>, this agreement is purely n-to-n.
It was an agreement betting on the potential and possibilities that <Evil Hunter> has shown as it began its full-fledged activities.
‘Other ns have been making tremendous offers too…’
There have been more than a few ns that have already proposed friendly n agreements.
Dozens of domestic ns have made requests, and even famous ns from overseas that you’d recognize just by name have proposed agreements.
But when the offer came from <Wings of Freedom>, the other ns were no longer under consideration.
“…We need to think more carefully about sharing owned dungeons. Even looking at the history of friendly ns so far, when ites to dungeon sharing…”
“…For the Room of Deserters raid, it would be better to enter a state of constant coboration. First of all, the Evil Hunter n has priority over other Korean ns in raiding this dungeon, and also…”
The meeting went on for a full three hours.
There were quite a few things to discuss and align as we were forming a friendly agreement, and at the highest level, with a world-ss n.
The meeting was mainly led by the nning teams of each n, but Hendricks and I, as masters, also watched attentively.
And finally.
“Then, as of this moment, we will finalize the friendly n agreement between the Korean Evil Hunter n and the American Wings of Freedom n. Thank you all for your hard work.”
As the long meeting came to an end, the agreement was dramatically concluded.
Thunderous apuse erupted in the master room, and Hendricks and I smiled and shook hands again.
“I look forward to working with you, Holder Do Jae-hyun.”
“It feels strange to hear those words from you, Hendricks.”
It was the moment we became friendly ns with the world’s top n.

– Do Jae-hyun’s <Evil Hunter> forms friendly n alliance with <Wings of Freedom>!
– Do Jae-hyun and <Evil Hunter> soaring endlessly upward! This time, together with the world’s top n!
– Liam Hendricks: “I think we’re very fortunate to form a friendly agreement with such a promising new n, Evil Hunter. We’ve secured an opportunity.”
– Elders in the Holdermunity unanimously say, “Evil Hunter should be included in the top 4 domestic ns.”
“Jae-hyun, now articles appear even when you just breathe.”
Kim Chae-eun says with a smile as she reads the flood of articles.
I made an expression of disbelief at her words.
“How is this just breathing? We’ve formed a friendly agreement with the world’s top n.”
“Hehe. Isn’t this easy for you, Jae-hyun? You aplish anything just by thinking about it.”
“Chae-eun, I’m not that versatile. I’m scared someone might hear you.”
“You are that versatile. If anyone else heard that, they’d throw stones at you.”
Kim Chae-eun hugged me tightly with a yful smile.
After finishing all official schedules in the United States,
We were finally spending time alone together.
In fact, we should have enjoyed this happiness from the first day, but it was postponed due to a vampire causing a disturbance in the arena.
Just yesterday, right after the agreement with <Wings of Freedom> was concluded, I helped with the interrogation of ‘Baroness Caroline’ at the request of the International Holder Association.
It’s only now that we’ve found time to catch our breath.
“Oh, right. What happened to that vampire? Did they really help the Ludenark faction?”
She didn’t participate in the interrogation, so she didn’t know the details.
I nodded, recalling yesterday’s story.
“Yes. We interrogated her while asking Ripley about various situations, and it seems there are a few vampires in the Room of Deserters besides Ripley.”
I learned a lot about the Ludenark faction’s forces.
First, the vampires.
Just as Ripley had contacted the Ludenark faction after leaving <Beltane> while in the other world, quite a few vampires had left <Beltane> and temporarily stayed in the <Room of Deserters> in a simr manner.
Baroness Caroline was one of the vampires who had contracted with Ludenark in this way.
She was even a contractor who could handle malignant holy power and ck magic after forming a [Dark Covenant].
Seeing that the Ludenark side had ‘defected’ her to invade this world, we could glimpse their n to start utilizing vampires.
“The second is Termen.”
“Termen? Oh? I’ve heard that somewhere before.”
“I told you before. The reason this sword became a holy sword.”
I pulled out [Kelbilid’s True Repentance] and showed it to Kim Chae-eun.
‘Warriors of Termen’.
Previously, I didn’t even know of their existence, but I learned about them through the Death Knight I killed when evolving the [Penitent’s Sword].
They too were currently staying in the <Room of Deserters>.
Their forms include Death Knights like the one I encountered before, and also actual living humans.
From what I heard from Ripley, they were a tribe with quite a deep history in the other world.
“The tribe itself lost itsnd and perished, scattering everywhere. But apparently, most of them went to either the Ludenark faction or Beltane.”
“If it’s Beltane…”
“Yes. Where Ripley was originally. The realm of vampires.”
<Beltane>, thend of vampires.
Traces of vampires and Termen warriors remain there.
To effectively grasp the strength of the Ludenark faction, we needed to go there.
“So I’m nning to go there soon. To that ce called Beltane.”
<Beltane>, which I was originally nning to visit due to the contract with Ripley.
The date for raiding that special dungeon…
