Kim Jonghyun's voice rang in his head. It wasn't an electronic sound, but was similar to it. Lee Sungmin first explained to Kim Jonghyun about his situation. He knew that Lee Sungmin had returned from the dead, so it was not difficult to explain.
"Let's go together."
Kim Jonghyun, who had heard the whole story, nodded. The middle-aged Taoist was amazed and looked back at Kim Jonghyun.
"What is that... ?"
"Master Yusang. I was sent from the guild to assist you, at the request of Master Jin Rang. You will absolutely need my help to chase and kill the Ghost Blade, and to hear the full story of the case from him."
Kim Jonghyun told Master Yusang with a calm face. Even though he had a grim expression on hearing Kim Jonghyun's words, outwardly he nodded.
"That's... I also know it."
"If I cannot go with Lee Sungmin, I will not go."
When Kim Jonghyun said so much, Master Yusang's face distorted. Lee Sungmin reacted the same way.
[No, isn't that going too far?]
[Are there any other ways to persuade that strict Taoist master besides forcing the issue? On the contrary, in this case, it would work well to act like a kid.]
[What would you do if Master Yusang overpowered you and forced you to go with him?]
[Master Yusang does not have the right to do so. In fact, no one on the volcano can treat me like that. They formally asked the Guild for assistance, and I was dispatched from there for him. If the volcano treats me carelessly, it's the same as spitting on the prestige of the guild.]
[Is it that bad?]
[You've changed a lot over the last four years. I think you've gotten especially better at martial arts. I wasn't just playing aimlessly either. Scarlet became a Red Archmage, so I also came out of the Behenger's Sorcerer Guild out of spite.]
[... Yes? What does that mean?]
[Now I have become the Black Archmage.]
Kim Jonghyun said with a face that it was not a big deal, but Lee Sungmin could not take it lightly. Black Archmage. That meant that Kim Jonghyun was at the highest position among the magicians of the Sorceror's Guild.
[There is nothing much to it. Unlike other mages, black mages are not very influential and do not have great power. Skilled warlocks, like Freskan, have all been taboos. They have been expelled or died, and most often do not enter the Sorcerer's Guild. What? I still have the power to be difficult at times like these.]
Kim Jonghyun grinned. Master Yusang, who was agonizing with a distorted face, nodded as he gritted his teeth.
"... Then... What would you do if that young man tried to help Ghost Blade?"
"If that happens, I will kill Lee Sungmin."
It was said without any change in his expression, but Lee Sungmin could feel that he was sincere. Master Yusang felt it too.
Eventually, he allowed Lee Sungmin to go inside. When accompanied by Lee Sungmin, Kim Jonghyun said there was no need for Master Yusang to escort them.
"Do you mean that young man is better than me?"
"No. I just don't need it. I am the Black Archmage. I am skilled enough to protect myself."
"But it's a matter of formality..."
"I don't need any formalities from you. Just go over there and take care of the little sick young masters lying over there."
Having heard that, Master Yusang could no longer follow Kim Jonghyun. Lee Sungmin walked alongside Kim Jonghyun and wagged his tongue.
