46.
“Yes, we’ve prepared a banquet hall inside. Everyone has already gathered. We’ve prepared expensive alcohol, side dishes, and special refreshments, so you’ll be able to enjoy yourself to the fullest.”
Yu Jin entered, following Ferdin. Keith stepped forward to follow as well, but was blocked by the guards of the Granadan mansion.
“I’ll be back.”
Yu Jin smiled and greeted Keith before entering deeper into the annex. Ferdin kept chattering beside him, but he wasn’t in the mood to answer. As he just kept silent, Ferdin seemed to take the hint and closed his mouth. As they walked down a corridor longer than expected, a low voice different from before was heard.
“Yu Jin is quite different from what I thought.”
When they reached the end of the corridor, a waiting maid opened the door. As the door opened, Yu Jin instinctively covered his nose and mouth with his hand due to the strange fragrance wafting through.
Thin smoke was rising from incense burners placed throughout what Ferdin called the banquet hall, and it seemed to be the source of the scent. Some places used scented candles to enhance the atmosphere, but never this strongly.
‘Moreover.’
This wasn’t an ordinary fragrance. People on sofas and on the floor were entangled like beasts, naked.
“Ah, aah. Huk, it’s good. More! More!”
“Heuut, ah, aak!”
The sounds made his head spin.
‘Ahmed, you bastard.’
Even calling him a son of a bitch wasn’t enough. Yu Jin looked at Ferdin standing beside him, recalling every curse he knew. While everyone was going crazy with lust, he seemed surprisingly sober.
“I took an antidote.”
Ferdin grinned like a monster. Then he suddenly pushed Yu Jin’s back forward. As he lost balance, the hand covering his nose and mouth fell away. He was momentarily flustered by the fragrance that rushed in. However, the inhaled smoke changed his body faster than expected.
“Ugh.”
Immediately, the sensation in his fingertips became sensitive, and his lower abdomen began to tremble. His body, which was gradually heating up, felt hot. He had resolved to endure whatever situation came, but he hadn’t prepared for this.
Yu Jin bit the soft flesh inside his mouth, drawing blood. With the pain and the smell of blood, his mind seemed to clear a little. But Ferdin didn’t just stand by watching this. He grabbed Yu Jin’s clothes as he fell to the floor and dragged him to throw him into the middle of the banquet hall.
“Ahuk!”
As he was rubbing his heated body against the cold floor, someone nearby grabbed Yu Jin’s arm.
‘This bastard’s gone crazy too.’
Moreover, he was dangling his grotesque genitals as if showing them off. Seeing that, goosebumps rose all over Yu Jin’s body and he shook his arm frantically, but couldn’t break free.
“Heu, I know who you are.”
The man said this as he pulled Yu Jin. He wasn’t the only one clinging to him. He felt soft breasts against his back. People who reacted to the newcomer rushed in. Some seemed to have lost half their minds, while others appeared sober.
Like Ferdin.
“Ah, it’s good. It’s so good. I love seeing beautiful people get ruined. Let’s see, with so many people, your lower parts will quickly become tattered, won’t they? But that’s okay, right? You’re a slut after all. You love cocks, don’t you?”
Ferdin clapped his hands joyfully while spewing vulgar words. At that sound, people rushed towards Yu Jin. They stripped off his clothes and buried their noses in his skin. They licked his nape and then grabbed his legs to spread them.
“Huk.”
Yu Jin’s body was now uncontrollably trembling. Every time someone else’s flesh touched his body, pleasure surged, but his mind, not fully surrendered, burned with disgust.
“Hy, hyung.”
Finally, Yu Jin gave up and called for Keith. But soon after, someone’s hand covered his mouth. Unable to make a sound, tears started streaming down his face. He tried to resist desperately, but his body wouldn’t move an inch.
His chest felt like it would burst with anguish and anger.
No matter what, how could they push me into a place like this?
‘I’ll kill them!’
If he escaped from this place, he would kill Ahmed first. He wanted to make him die screaming, as cruelly as possible. It was a thought difficult to realize, but if he didn’t think like that, he felt he might go crazy.
He felt miserable at the touch of an unknown man’s genitals below.
‘Someone, help me!’
Yu Jin desperately wished. And just as the man covering Yu Jin’s body was about to exert force on his waist to push in his genitals, a wind blew from somewhere.
Thud.
With a small sound, the man who had been laughing grotesquely collapsed. As Yu Jin was cringing at the weight pressing down on his body, something roughly pushed the man aside. He wanted to check what was happening, but his vision was blurred by tears.
“Who are you!”
Ferdin’s shout was heard.
“Come in right now! An intruder has entered!”
Following the sound, there was the noise of shoes hitting the floor. Once again, something brushed past, and the hand covering Yu Jin’s mouth fell away.
“Wha, what.”
He wanted to ask what was happening, but his voice wouldn’t come out easily, as if blocked by something. Then a large hand covered Yu Jin’s eyes.
“Close your eyes for a moment.”
Yu Jin knew the owner of this voice.
Jinhyeon, he was here.
“Ah, cover your ears too.”
Jinhyeon kindly placed Yu Jin’s hands over his ears. But lacking strength, his hands kept falling.
“Can’t be helped. Try to think of something else for a moment.”
Saying that, Jinhyeon stood up. As he stepped forward, leaving Yu Jin behind, the guards who had rushed in drew their weapons.
“That guy, that’s him! Kill him!”
Beside them, a young-looking man who had somehow escaped was frantically jumping around. As the situation unfolded, those who still had their wits about them searched for places to hide and fled, while those who couldn’t crawled on the floor.
“Hmm?”
Before long, Jinhyeon realized that the guards were being careful about the people crowded in here. Judging by how they were trying their best not to step on or hit them, it seemed they weren’t allowed to kill these people carelessly.
‘That’s fine by me.’
There was an enormous difference between his skills when he first arrived here and now. But no matter how rapidly Jinhyeon had improved in a short time, it was still beyond his ability to face dozens of properly skilled fighters. He had been able to easily kill the guys in the back alleys because they fought like scattered sand, but these were different.
Perhaps because they were noble guards, they knew how to fight as a group. They didn’t clash weapons with each other and knew how to attack cooperatively. But Jinhyeon had no intention of losing here.
With so many people to use as shields, why would he lose?
It was time to put what Alec had taught him to use. Jinhyeon smiled and rushed forward. He intended to kill everyone present at this gathering today. He narrowly avoided the sword thrust by the guard at the front, and immediately slashed his side. Retreating from the next attack, he kicked one of the people floundering on the floor.
While the guard’s attack was disrupted in surprise, he unhesitatingly cut his throat. Seeing the blood gushing from the deeply cut neck, Jinhyeon swung his sword again. He stabbed the dying person once more.
The person clutching his neck reflexively removed his hand from the wound when his face was slashed. His hand instinctively moved to cover the pain on his face, but soon he couldn’t do even that. Because Jinhyeon had cut off his wrist.
As cruelly as possible.
To make the faint-hearted retreat, and to enrage those who weren’t. Jinhyeon butchered people.
In an instant, one guard rolled on the floor. As the one rushing from behind hesitated at the sight, Jinhyeon stabbed his sword into the back of a naked man floundering on the floor and twisted it.
“Aaaargh!”
Ignoring the scream that seemed to tear, Jinhyeon slashed the ankle of another person nearby.
“You bastard!”
Two guards, their eyes crazed with anger, lunged at Jinhyeon. But their coordination was off due to their excitement. Jinhyeon dodged the attacks and grabbed one of them to use as a shield. While the one stabbed by his comrade’s sword was convulsing, he gouged out the eyes of the stunned one with his sword.
“Aak! Ak!”
When he felt overwhelmed killing guards, he would withdraw and kill those intoxicated by the drug. When he did this, the one being protected by the guards would jump up and down in anger, and the guards would rush at Jinhyeon again. His clothes were quickly soaked with blood, but Jinhyeon didn’t stop.
“You, you madman!”
It’s better to look like a madman. Jinhyeon knew he couldn’t win just by fighting well. Rather than fighting rationally, pretending to be a madman obsessed with killing could instill fear in the enemy.
Swinging his sword like a madman, half of the guards were reduced.
“Re, request backup from the mansion!”
When the one who seemed to be the captain said this, one guard rushed out the door.
“You bastard, you’re dead now!”
The youngster shouted triumphantly, but by the time the remaining guards were reduced by half again, the reinforcements hadn’t arrived. He had prepared for more people to come. Jinhyeon tilted his head, lowering his sword. And soon, he realized why no support had come.
