The tide has turned when Seodol joined.
The yellow roses that tried to swallow Jared Lee were eaten by a swarm of rats.
The magic circle was ruined, and the puffin dress worn by the knight was destroyed.
Everything that touched the rat-colored beads rotted, and the Knight of the Yellow Rose cut off her dress before it could completely rot, revealing the armor worn underneath.
Seodol saw the armor and spewed a sarcastic remark.
“You’re wearing good armor. It looks much better than that tacky dress though?”
The Knight of the Yellow Rose didn’t respond to the provocation, but she seemed to be suppressing her anger.
After all, Seodol is the head of the Rat Clan and the chief designer of Neuru, a world-class high-end fashion brand.
It was humiliating to hear those words from him.
She knew he was trying to provoke her, but she couldn’t help but feel anger.
‘It’s better to pretend to be provoked. If I act cool, he’ll try to make me angry in other ways.’
The highest knights of the team, the three Grand Cross.
Although their responsibilities and duties are divided among each other, the Knight of the Yellow Rose was regarded as the team master.
She pretended to fall for the provocation.
“You dirty rat…!”
“Dirty? Look at yourself.”
Seodol grabbed the collar of his stylish lapel jacket without any dust on it.
On the other hand, the knight was wearing a ragged dress on top of her armor.
Anyone would choose her as the “dirty rat” in this scenario.
Seodol saw the knight raise her eyebrow and used the gap to raise his energy waves.
Fwoooo!
The rat-colored beads burst again.
The knight managed to run away just before the explosion, but the hem of her dress was cut again.
She felt appalled to see the thorn of the roses in her dress rotting.
‘He’s not someone I can deal with alone. I should’ve been more prepared!’
She should’ve set up a trap, prevent intelligence from being drawn in, use her powers in advance, or even taken up hostages…
Several methods came to her mind, but it was already too late for that.
The Oath of the Three Knights looked down on Seodol’s power when the eradicated the mice he set up near their camp.
It was too easy catching all of them, though that’s because Seodol operated them remotely from Korea.
They commended his skill in hiding the rats, but they underestimated Seodol, not realizing that it would take a great amount of energy waves just to keep those mice alive.
However, they were now in Korea, and the knight is against Seodol on her own.
‘He’s a clan head using the power of intelligence in the land of Korea. I can’t win against him!’
The Knight of the Yellow Rose seemed to be surviving well at first glance, but the reality was different.
The only reason she’s alive right now was because she was slowing down her hands.
Seodol was constantly attacking, but there was some room.
“I really like the reason behind your team name. Oath.”
“…”
The Knight of the Yellow Rose was trying to hide her agitation, but it slowed her down and made her vulnerable to an attack.
A quickly shot gray ball hit the ribbon of her dress.
Swaaa…
The dress began to rot, starting from the ribbon.
The knight, judging that she could no longer cut her dress to save it, hurriedly threw it off.
The thin armor engraved with yellow roses was fully revealed.
‘He dug up our oath.’
The head of the Rat Clan is associated with the Lake of Eternity.
They thought Seodol was trying to figure out Jared Lee’s past so he planted some mice, but perhaps they were wrong.
Seodol spoke in a light tone.
“Don’t you know me? I also shudder at the thought of that. I might’ve cooperated if you guys hadn’t killed my rats.”
“Sigh, everyone knows that you have a connection with the Lake of Eternity.”
“The Lake of Eternity? Jein is the only one I gave protection to.”
But isn’t Kwon Jein the team master of the Lake of Eternity?
The Knight of the Yellow Rose thought that Seodol was playing with words.
However, Seodol looked sincere.
“Jein is a person with a beautiful and wonderful story. I gave her my order, and she’s someone worth watching. But not everyone is like that.”
It sounded like Seodol would gladly help Kwon Jein, but not the Lake of Eternity.
If they had known, they would’ve been more careful.
The knight clicked her tongue internally.
But if all of Seodol’s mice were eliminated already, his anger seemed unlikely to subside easily.
The knight recalled some negative points.
There’s no doubt that Seodol had hostility towards that, so maybe she could find a way out of this position.
“Oh, I’m not joining hands with you right now so don’t get any ideas.”
Seodol’s firm words crushed the knight’s hope.
He narrowed the distance between them one step at a time.
“I’m mad that you got rid of my mice, of course. To the point that I want to kill you right now. But it’s not just that. I have no intention of mingling with things that don’t have wisdom.” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
Seodol was up close before she knew it.
He was in range for an attack, but the force he exuded made it difficult to even launch a jab.
Seodol looked down at the Knight of the Yellow Rose.
“To kill the cat, you turned the rat into your enemy?”
The Oath of the Three Knights.
The three players who regarded themselves as knights joined forces to make a team for a single reason.
To eliminate the Cat Clan.
It was their goal to put all of the Cat Clan into a deep sleep or to kill them.
The knights swore to accomplish this by all means.
The Knight of the Yellow Rose couldn’t hide her agitation at the mention of the word cat.
Fwaaak! Shwaaaak!
The water in the lake rose at once.
Dozens or hundreds of columns of water rose in the blink of an eye and flew toward Seodol.
As soon as Seodol raised his energy waves to defend himself, the knight rushed toward the lake.
Kwaaa! Kwaaaa!
As soon as the knight touched the surface of the lake, columns of water rose again, swallowing her shadow all at once.
“…Two Grand Crosses at once.”
Jared Lee, who was watching from one step behind, said in a bewildered tone.
He barely managed to protect himself with energy waves.
He stood up, staring at the swirling column of water with serious eyes.
Soon, the water column was destroyed by Seodol’s power.
However, by the time the columns dank, the Knight of the Yellow Rose was already gone.
“You know who that is?”
“It’s a Grand Cross who uses that power. The Knight of the Water Shadow intervened.”
“It’s not comparable to Jein, but one of the team masters of that team has that?”
Jared looked at Seodol suspiciously, who seemed too calm to miss all the prey he had caught.
“The Knight of the Water Shadow has skills that can handle water. But his real power is not his water-based attack skills.”
“Really? Well, it doesn’t matter.”
Seodol looked disinterested.
Jared Lee felt dumbfounded at the answer.
This sort of thing always happens, so he decided to just pass it off.
‘It’s strange that he’s not chasing after her…’
Seodol is capable of running over the lake and chasing the Knight of the Yellow Rose if he desires.
Seodol staying with Jared and talking was odd indeed.
“Oh, do you find it weird that I didn’t follow her? Don’t worry, I’ve got a few mice on the back. She’ll suspect it if I don’t track her at least.”
Even if a few mice were following the knight, something was still strange.
No matter how good those mice were, they weren’t as competent as Seodol himself.
It would be efficient to chase her himself, but he didn’t know why Seodol wasn’t choosing to do that.
Jared’s doubts deepened.
“Are you curious?”
Seodol suddenly using formal language brought Jared Lee back to his senses.
He didn’t know what Seodol was thinning, but it was obvious that he was up to something sinister.
Jared Lee immediately stopped doubting and decided to prioritize more important matters.
“I have to go search for student Mok Wooram. I’m worried that something happened to him. Thank you for your help. Let’s talk again next time and—”
“Who said I’m letting you go?”
Jared Lee’s attempt to escape was immediately thwarted.
He let the Knight of the Yellow Rose escape but not him!
Jared Lee freaked out and tried to run away, but there was no way that he could go against Seodol.
Jared’s way was immediately blocked.
“The person who sent me here asked me not to, so I’m not letting you go.”
“Why are you speaking formally, Seodol!”
Flustered, Jared Lee started using strange Korean.
Although his words were quite rude, Seodol still responded in formal language.
It drove Jared even madder.
“You wish to know why I’m not speaking informally? It’s up to me, sir.”
As if Seodol was taking pleasure in the situation, he continued using formal language.
“I was asked to protect you from the Knight of the Yellow Rose, secure you, and bring you back. Luckily, I wanted to screw up those horses.”
“…Who asked you? Is it Jein?”
Jared Lee asked again, thinking it would naturally be Kwon Jein who asked Seodol the favor.
But Seodol shook his head.
“No, it’s not Jein.”
“Eh? Then who…?”
It bothered him that someone asked someone, Seodol out of all people, to protect him.
Seodol didn’t seem to have any intention of answering his question.
Instead, Seodol said only what he wanted to say, his voice alarmingly excited.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a plague outbreak, and today’s work ended really well. It was a great performance, and I am going to make a bigger achievement, so I think I deserve some points from that kid.”
Being a foreigner, Jared Lee didn’t understand the words right away.
But he understood the latter part.
It was a child who asked Seodol to help Jared Lee.
Seodol spoke again with an excited face.
“Neuru might get its new ambassador soon.” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
