All noise seemed to have disappeared at that moment.

It had been silent to start but it felt as if even the air itself had stopped moving.

“……!”

The middle-aged woman’s eyes opened wide. Her rough hands, which made it possible to fathom the hardships she had face in life, grasped her silk clothes. A pressure that seemed to be pressing down on her whole body made it difficult to breathe.

It was at that moment.

Clang!

Two blades clashed against each other and broke the silence.

The moment the women felt the pressure suppressing her disappear…

“Huuuu……”

“Gasp.”

She could hear the breathing of the eunuchs and court ladies that they barely managed to let out.

However, her eyes were only facing forward.

Standing there was the around twenty years old looking person who had created that suffocating domain just moments ago.

“Are you a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?”

Cale’s gaze moved from the middle-aged woman. It went from the person he believed was the Empress Dowager to someone else.

There was a woman pointing a blade at Cale. However, that woman’s blade could not reach Cale.

The person standing right behind Cale stepped forward and blocked her attack.

And one more person.

The moment the blades clashed against each other…

There was someone else, in addition to the man who blocked the woman’s attack, pointing his scabbard at her.

The woman’s forehead filled with sweat.

The tip of the sword was just about to touch her neck.

Cale’s mouth opened.

“Both of you step back.”

Cale made eye contact with two people at that moment.

It was the woman who he believed was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard as well as Choi Han, whose sword had blocked her attack. Choi Han nodded his head and withdrew his sword first.

Cale had a thought while looking at him.

‘He’s the same.’

Choi Han looked exactly the same.

It had not changed at all.

‘I guess there was no aspect of him that needed to be assimilated.’

In fact, Choi Han’s appearance was more likely to be consistent in this world than his present world.

– Human, human! Human, who do you look so pitiful? You look so weak from the back!

He heard a shocked Raon’s voice behind him but Cale looked toward the person who had yet to withdraw his sword.

‘…Team leader.’

He was there.

It was not Sui Khan but the team leader.

Cale frowned.

‘Wait, why did that guy get bigger?’

He no longer looked like the young Sui Khan but the Lee Soo Hyuk that Cale first met. He looked to be around that age.
