The Second Alien (1)
The middle-aged man looked up and down at Artis.
He seemed to be a bit confused.
“Is it that Mage, then? Level 40 is still too low, but it’s better than that fraud.”
He kept talking to himself.
‘Did he relax because he thinks nobody knows who he is?’
‘It’s probably because of the Guidelines.’
It was a habit Ryu Han-bin himself had.
Whenever he relaxed without anyone around, he had a habit of talking to himself.
Artis often nagged him about it.
‘As expected, he’s also an Earthling.’
He was the first Earthling he met after falling into this world.
The Lich he fought against at the Satt Forest was technically the first one, but he only realized it after killing it.
In the first place, by the time he had met it, it was no longer human.
That was the first time he felt like he met an actual Earthling.
Han-bin felt a little happy because of that, but he kept his emotions suppressed.
‘The other Earthlings are different from me.’
The man looked calm.
He didn’t seem like the Devil was manipulating him.
However, Han-bin still couldn’t be sure that the man wasn’t hostile.
‘I’ll have to wait and see.’
* * *
Artis took a step back and asked Han-bin a question.
“He immediately discovered my level. Is he an Alien?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Only Earthlings can do that.”
The man seemed to have no intention of hiding his identity based on the way he talked.
The man laughed and gave them a definite answer.
“I am Alejandro Fernandez. Well, my full name is a little longer. Perhaps you already know? If you belong to the Upper Draconium, you’d have already heard about it.”
‘Upper Draconium?’
Artis was confused. He didn’t know anyone who went by that name.
Alejandro squinted his eyes.
“You don’t look like you know. Aren’t you from the Upper Draconium?”
“You must have found the wrong person, Alien.”
“I’m not looking for a person. You’re a Dragon, aren’t you?”
At that moment, Artis felt his heart sink.
‘How did he know?’
His tone had that sense of certainty in it.
Giving off a laugh, Alejandro pointed at Artis.
“This is getting bothersome. Follow me. I’d love to hear the whole story.”
He was beginning to grow more and more arrogant.
‘At least it’s clear that he’s not on our side.’
Artis stealthily controlled the conversation.
When fighting, it was necessary to dig up more information before the battle could start.
“What are you talking about?”
“Aren’t you the one who killed Shin Ha-joon?”
“Shin Ha-joon?”
“Oh, of course, you don’t know his name. Did you kill a Lich recently?”
‘So the Lich’s name is Shin Ha-joon.’
Ryu Han-bin grew curious.
That form of naming method felt familiar to him.
‘Was that skeleton Alien a Korean?’
Regardless, the Lich’s nationality was the least of their worries.
The Lich had the mark of the Great Earth.
And the man before them seemed to be the acquaintance or friend of the Lich.
He could also be a member of the Great Earth!
‘I don’t think we’re going to be able to have a peaceful conversation.’
Han-bin slowly began to warm his fingers up.
* * *
Meanwhile, Artis was deep in thought.
Alejandro clearly believed that he killed Shin Ha-joon.
However, his attitude didn’t line up with that thought.
If the enemy won against a Level 72 Lich, any level 75 Magic Swordsman would be forced to keep their guard.
How could he be so relaxed?
‘There must be something he’s hiding.’
Artis continued to dig up information through their conversation.
“A Lich? I don’t know what bullshit that is. Besides, what Dragon are you talking about?”
Alejandro raised his hand forward.
“Of course, you’d play innocent. After all, you’ll be in trouble the moment the people find out your secret.”
He pointed his finger at Artis.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Tak!
From the man’s fingertip shot out an electrical wave.
Artis immediately cast his own magic to defend himself.
“Shield!”
The battle began too sudden, leaving him with no choice but to rely on low-level magic.
The wave swiftly broke the shield and hit Artis, causing him to fall back.
“Ugh!”
Alejandro laughed blatantly.
“Once I capture you, I’ll be able to interrogate you all I want.”
* * *
“Stay on top of them.”
As commanded, the Wyvern flew and circled over the sky.
Alejandro turned his gaze toward Ryu Han-bin.
“You’re dead.”
An invisible force flew towards Han-bin and grabbed his limb.
It was the unique telekinetic power of Magic Swordsmen, Psychic Force.
“Hmm?”
Feeling the pressure being applied onto his skin, Han-bin frowned.
It felt as if there were multiple men were grabbing onto his arms and legs.
“This should be enough.”
Alejandro turned to Artis again.
He unsuspectingly believed that he had overpowered Han-bin entirely.
However, it couldn’t even faze Han-bin. He could break free just as easily as pulling dozens of men off of him.
‘He’s only at this level?’
Just as he was about to escape through sheer brute force, Artis sent him Telepathy Magic.
-Wait!-
Through Telepathy Magic, he was able to send his thoughts to anyone within 5 meters of him.
However, since Ryu Han-bin couldn’t use magic, it became a one-way conversation.
He looked at Artis with concern.
‘Why?’
Artis’s message continued.
-I’m going to deal with him myself, so get as much information as you can from where you are! He doesn’t seem to have any intention of killing me here anyway.-
Ryu Han-bin easily defeated a level 72 Lich. A level 75 Magic Swordsman wasn’t going to be any different.
Artis still felt suspicious of the man. He was way too confident.
He had to be hiding something in his sleeves.
Artis had to figure it out.
-Oh, if you think it’s becoming dangerous, don’t hesitate to move immediately.-
