Chapter 756

〈 Chapter 756: Part 2, Chapter 6, Episode 20 – The Abduction of Sun Gyeoul 〉

We bore witness to the horrors beneath Seoul firsthand.

There was no need to elaborate on the scene—it spoke for itself.

Some retched in revulsion, others clenched their fists so tightly that blood dripped from their palms, anger coursing through them. It was a savage existence, akin to living wild in an untamed jungle, mere hours away from the civilization enjoyed by others.

Everyone felt disheartened at the thought of such barbaric suffering persisting so close to modern life.

“Sun Icheol, how could this happen?”

Yuna and all the heroines began condemning Sun Icheol, with Raon—who had long held negative feelings toward him—and even Nuri, who recently gained voting rights, now viewing him unfavorably.

Still…

“Miss Sun Gyeoul… though it pains me to say this, seeing her father’s regime like this makes his ousting somewhat understandable.”

A troubling matter lingered in everyone’s minds—Sun Icheol’s daughter was among our ranks.

It wasn’t so much about siding with her father, but rather the sorrowful realization that she must have grown disillusioned with his tyranny to the point where she sought his removal.

“…But where is Miss Sun Gyeoul now?”

“She disappeared suddenly…”

And not long after:

“…This is bad.”

Master Tentacle, or Tentacle Master, showed us his tablet with a grave expression.

“The queen’s GPS signal has been lost.”

“GPS? Not a magical signal?”

“That… it’s an old-school, non-magical GPS. Like an ancient cellphone.”

“So…”

Sun Gyeoul’s presence vanished.

Based on this, only one conclusion came to mind:

Sun Gyeoul had been abducted.

By whom?

“But wait. Wasn’t Sun Gyeoul the queen down here? How could someone like her be kidnapped?”

“There may be other creatures lurking outside our controlled areas. Perhaps intruders from the underground regions near Gyeonggi-do… Or maybe…”

Tentacle Master paused, deep in thought.

“…Perhaps *she* made her move.”

“*She*?”

“Yes. The black-haired woman who recently came to negotiate with our Dark Legion.”

The black-haired woman.

Her identity was painfully obvious.

“What were her traits?”

“She called herself Azidahaka, an officer of the Dark Legion.”

“Huh.”

Everyone stiffened, especially Kim Penril, whose face twisted into utter bewilderment.

“Eh, when did…?”

“One possibility remains: This is something only Azidahaka could pull off.”

Moving unseen in the pitch-black labyrinth beneath Seoul suited her perfectly.

Yet, somehow, she evaded even Penril’s senses to abduct Sun Gyeoul?

“…That’s impossible.”

The Cube.

If one possessed the treasure granting infinite magic power at will, escaping Penril’s detection while kidnapping Sun Gyeoul would indeed be feasible.

“Um, Commander…”

“Hmm? Yuna?”

“Th-…”

A setup.

Yuna subtly mouthed her suspicion, and I stroked her head approvingly as she solemnly nodded.

‘There’s also the chance she willingly went along.’

Those trapped beneath Seoul are victims of circumstance, yet remain villains nonetheless. Even if linked to Azidahaka, they might still be coerced into villainous acts—like holding innocent monster families hostage to annihilate our team.

No matter how strong we seem as commanders or magical girls, an army of thousands could easily overwhelm a group of fewer than ten.

‘If only we knew their Hero rankings, they’d fear us more, but alas…’

Officially, only Su Ri is known to rank A+. The rest of us operate under the radar, leaving room for misjudgment and trouble.

“…Do we need to step forward sooner?”

We must ensure no one dares underestimate or scheme against our team.

‘After dealing with Azidahaka, it’ll be time to reveal our true strength.’

Though restrained by various conditions early on, now is the moment to rise tall and take action.

“Everyone, focus!”

Whether trap or not, opposing “evil” remains our mission as long as Azidahaka is involved.

“I prepared a special tracking device for Miss Sun Gyeoul just in case.”

“A…special tracking device?”

“Yes.”

System activated.

[Mini-map shows a green dot far away—that must be Sun Gyeoul.]

‘And coincidentally, it’s also where Azidahaka is.’

To reach the boss chamber, we’d need to traverse at least ten subway stations.

“…Why here of all places?”

Something unsettling about this location already.

Directed at me, or perhaps declaring her intent?

The station glowing faintly green was ominously named “Possibility.”

“Let’s head to Uijeongbu.”

Beyond rescuing the heroine and overcoming Seoul’s crisis, we’ll surpass Azidahaka, the Dark Legion officer.

Possibility.

Clack, clack.

Sun Gyeoul woke up.

Her mind was groggy, as if awakening from a deep sleep.

“…!!”

Regaining awareness, she quickly scanned her surroundings.

Before anything else, her first instinct was to check between her breasts.

“Looking for this?”

A playful woman dangled an object in her hand, smirking mischievously.

“You hid the Cube there? What if it slipped down? You should’ve swallowed it instead! At least then you could retrieve it anytime.”

“Ggh… Who ARE you?!”

“Me? Officer Azidahaka of the Dark Legion. Oh, is this the first time you’re seeing me like this…? Doesn’t matter. Anyway, you’re Sun Gyeoul, and the Cube is just a bonus prize.”

Azidahaka lifted Sun Gyeoul’s chin.

“So, what do you think this place is?”

“It’s…?”

“Correct. A motel. Sure, it’s old and abandoned, but with a little effort, it can look like this.”

Click.

Crimson light spilled from the ceiling, bathing the room in its eerie glow. The low ceiling amplified the intimate ambiance.

“Why are you using me? What’s your plan?”

“Using you? To create leverage against the president.”

“So you kidnapped ME, his daughter?”

“Right. And with full consent too. Your father valued his ‘crown jewels’ more than you. Threaten to cut them off, and he trembled, begging for mercy.”

“Wha…?”

Sun Gyeoul was deeply shocked.

“Even when assured his life would be spared, he prioritized protecting himself over you. While holding you hostage, I questioned whether you truly held value as bait to the nation’s leader.”

Would anyone guard their vital parts at the cost of sacrificing their own daughter?

“…Damn.”

Sun Gyeoul despaired.

Then, Azidahaka draped her arm around the dejected girl’s shoulder, whispering into her ear.

“Let’s make a deal.”

“A deal…?”

“Yes. Revenge against your father. Against a man who values his crown jewels more than his daughter. Perfect revenge…is…”

Azidahaka tapped her magical gear, projecting an image into the air.

On the screen, a folder filled with provocative video files appeared, each title hinting at scandalous content.

“How does that sound?”

“You want me…to film myself?! NEVER!”

Shaking off Azidahaka, Sun Gyeoul stood up.

“Not on your life!”

“Relax. You can choose any man you desire. Hmm…how about the Commander?”

“WHAT?!”

In an instant, Azidahaka embraced Sun Gyeoul from behind.

Leaning her face against her shoulder, she whispered sweetly into her ear.

“Don’t you secretly wish to be with the Commander? Imagine filming yourself with him…and sending those clips to your father. Watching his precious daughter defiled by a blonde foreigner…what would he do?”

“What do YOU want from all this?!”

“Me? Just a hobby.”

Azidahaka licked her lips, eyes gleaming with anticipation.

“Everywhere I go, I love watching the mighty fall. Heroes, bureaucrats, CEOs…especially rulers. Seeing them tumble into ruin due to scandals, losing their status and honor—it’s irresistible.”

“Why involve the Commander?”

“The Commander? It’s standard procedure for a Dark Legion officer, naturally. Besides…I’m personally curious.”

Interlocking fingers with Sun Gyeoul, Azidahaka traced her lips with her tongue.

“Why does the Commander let traitors walk free? Why spare someone they could kill anytime? What’s the real reason? Simple. The Commander is…”

Murmuring softly…

“…”

Azidahaka’s words left Sun Gyeoul speechless.

“Hmph, you see?”

“…”

“So let’s strike a deal. You’ve done nothing wrong. The evil one is me, manipulating you. All you need to do is lend me your body. Got it?”

“Ugh…”

Azidahaka’s form began dissolving into mist, seeping into Sun Gyeoul’s skin.

“You’ll film your revenge against your father, I’ll experience the Commander’s prowess indirectly via your body, and later, if asked, you can blame it all on my influence over you.”

“I…!”

“And one more thing.”

With a swish, Azidahaka reappeared before Sun Gyeoul, gripping her face firmly.

“You have no choice.”

“!!”

Smack.

Moments later…

“Hoooh.”

Sun Gyeoul’s eyes darkened, clouded by shadow.

“A virgin, huh…my apologies.”

Caressing her stomach, Sun Gyeoul—or rather, Azidahaka—smirked cruelly.

“I’ll take your purity.”

That smile was pure malice incarnate.
