Tomb Raider King

“I see. So why are you guys here?”

Ju-Heon was smiling after arriving at the airport.

This was where TKBM's company plane was located. He was smiling extremely viciously after getting on the plane.

It was because Yang Chen and Samuel were on the plane.

He saw these two traitors that he wanted to kill over and over.

The two of them tried to welcome Ju-Heon as if they had been waiting for him, but......

“Huh?”

“Uhh, uhh?”

They became anxious.

Why?

It was because Ju-Heon was not the only one to get on the plane.

“Damn it! My Hawaii! My vacation!”

Their gazes landed on Jaeha who was following Ju-Heon into the plane. They anxiously looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost.

The intern June being here was understandable, but...!

‘What the hell? Why is that son of a bitch here?’

‘I thought we sent him on vacation!’

Even these two who were known for their poker faces couldn't help but look shocked. They poked each other and quietly whispered.

‘What the hell? We're taking the restorer with us too?’

‘No. I didn’t hear about that. Did you?’

This plan was a final job to kill off Ju-Heon’s tomb raiding team. They were here to drag Ju-Heon to hell.

But Chairman Kwon's cherished SSS-Grade restorer?

“Does the Chairman-nim know about this?’

Either way, this was complicating things.

Because of that...

“Yoo Jaeha. Didn't you go on vacation?”

They stopped Jaeha from getting on the plane.

“I don’t know why you are here but you should be going to the Chairman-nim instead of being here...”

Jaeha looked annoyed as he walked up to them.

And then...

Slap!

He slapped both of them. His slaps were extremely strong because he had activated an artifact!

“?!”

The two men coughed up blood after being sent flying by those full-powered slaps.

“U, ugh!”

It had happened in an instant.

They seemed so shocked that they could only blankly stare at Jaeha without even getting up.

‘Wait, why did this bastard suddenly do that?’

Jaeha was cracking his knuckles with a vicious gaze on his face.

“What? Vacation? You don’t know why I'm here?”

He then stomped on them with the heels of his dress shoes.

Crack!

“?!”

Samuel and Yang Chen, the two supporters, were groaning in pain after being stomped on the shin and the pit of the stomach.

“Ugh, ugh! No, wait, why...?!”

Jaeha just viciously smiled at them.

“Why? I heard that you guys were looking for me! You said you really needed me! That's what the Captain said!”

“?!”

What kind of bullshit was this?!

They anxiously looked at Ju-Heon. Ju-Heon was sitting down and watching the TV while feigning ignorance.

The small smirk on his face looked extremely annoying.

‘That bastard...!’

The angry Jaeha’s eyes flashed.

“I lost my vacation because of you bastards. Huh?! This was my first bonus vacation in five years! What are you going to do about my plane ticket to Hawaii?!”

Yang Chen and Samuel quickly grabbed Jaeha’s legs.

"Wait, this is a misunderstanding!”

“We never did... ugh!”

Pow!

“Like hell you didn't! The retarded Captain may be a pushover but he doesn’t lie!”

“Aaah!”

Jaeha pounded the two of them into bloody pancakes. The two couldn't resist and felt as if they would die.

They wanted to resist but Jaeha was a Monarch for a reason. People looked down at him for sucking in battle but his basic specs were just underneath the Four Emperors!

“Ugh!”

In comparison, Yang Chen was a former Monarch who had fallen to a supporter position. And Samuel, no, John, was Pandora’s watchdog who had to suppress his powers to keep an eye on them.

Neither of them could resist as they were both unable to use much power right now.

That wasn't all.

‘This bastard is the Chairman-nim's personal restorer...!’

They didn't dare to touch someone Chairman Kwon cherished.

Jaeha, who was using that fact to his advantage, glared at them as if he was going to release all his anger on them.

“I will make you properly pay the price for making me lose my first bonus vacation in five years. Got that?”

‘Damn it!’

The two of their screams echoed through the plane. Ju-Heon chuckling on the side was just extra.

“Wait! Captain! We need to go with you!”

“That’s right! Captain! We can help...!”

Yang Chen and Samuel were pleading with Ju-Heon at the door of the plane. They were saying they needed to go with Ju-Heon into the tomb, but...

“Mm, get lost. I don’t need you.”

They were kicked off the plane.

"Wait, Captain! Aaah!”

They were kicked off pretty much naked without any of the artifacts or stuff they had brought.

[The plane will be departing soon. Please sit down and fasten your seatbelts...]

VROOOOOM-

The two of them could only watch as the plane took off.

Their asses felt as if it was on fire as they watched the plane depart.

“Fuck, the plan will fail at this rate!”

The two of them were grinding their teeth.

Yang Chen was concerned about Chairman Kwon. Samuel was worried about Pandora’s Executive Board.

Those people would never forgive them for this mistake.

They would die if they didn’t manage to get Seo Ju-Heon killed. They must kill all of Seo Ju-Heon's excavation team as planned in order to survive.

However...!

“Damn it, this is all because that bastard Yoo Jaeha showed up.”

“Why the hell did that son of a bitch show up?!”

The two men with their asses on fire quickly tried to look for another plane.

“Okay, please tell me now.”

As TKBM’s private plane was about to reach the Amazon... Jaeha, who had pummeled the two supporters as if they were animals, asked Ju-Heon.

"Why did you make me beat those bastards up?”

“What?”

Jaeha snickered as if he wanted praises.

“The thing about those bastards saying they needed me was bullshit. I don't know why, but you looked like you wanted to beat them up so I played along.”

Ju-Heon laughed out loud.

“Then you beat those bastards up knowing it was bullshit?”

“Of course. Our pushover Captain is a million times better than those bastards.”

Jahea did not seem to like Samuel or Yang Chen.

“I can tell right away. They’re not the type you want to be close to. You might not think much of it, but I am a scammer after all. This job requires a person to be quite sharp.”

That...was probably not something to be proud of, but anyway...

“Something's fishy about suddenly getting a bonus vacation. And...”

Jaeha peeked toward Ju-Heon.

“What the hell did you mean by I will cry my eyes out if I don't come with you?”

That phrase seemed to have stuck with him the most. It was enough that he gave up that luxurious vacation to come with Ju-Heon.

"Why would I cry?”

“You don’t need to know.”

Ju-Heon just didn't like any of his subordinate punks to cry their eyes out.

Feeling the guilt of losing team members once was enough. Although this was a different world, he wanted to give this bastard a chance.

“It’s nothing much so don’t worry about it.”

Jaeha looked at Ju-Heon as if he knew the truth.

“You were probably just going to run off with all of my money. Right?”

As Ju-Heon sneered in disbelief...

“Captain-nim. I see the entrance!”

Ju-Heon turned his head after June shouted. The Crow reacted as well.

[A portion of the Great Prison is visible.]

He could see the long Amazon River outside the plane window. There was a suspicious stone tomb next to it as well.

‘That’s the place we went into.’

Jaeha asked as well.

"Those bastards really went in there?”

“Yes sir. I can feel the aura of the other team members in there.”

“Man, it looks pretty weak in comparison to the warning from the system.”

It seemed scary but it looked like a tomb that the tomb raiding team could easily clear.

Ju-Heon sneered at him.

‘Yes, we had the same thought before we were all massacred.’

Of course, this tomb would be a headache for a different reason this time.

[The auras of apocalypse artifacts can be felt inside the prison.]

[These bastards must have infiltrated this world with the time and Space artifact.]

That was right.

The apocalypse artifacts that had crossed through time and space were inside the tomb this time. They were here because they were worried that Ju-Heon would come back with the Cradle.

These bastards were using the people in this timeline to lead him down the path to death.

Just look at what they were doing right now.

‘Those bastards know that I will go in there.’

They knew that he would go in there to save his subordinates.

‘They couldn’t have forced them in there since my subordinates are strong.’

It was obvious that Chairman Kwon threatened them with Ju-Heon’s life or gave an order to get them in there, but...

“Wouldn't it be better to not go in there?”

June was frowning.

He must have realized that it was dangerous. The Crow was warning him as well.

[It is dangerous to go up against the apocalypse artifacts without the Cradle.]

Ju-Heon looked toward his rope, no, the ball of yarn.

The yarn squirmed with joy as Ju-Heon looked at it.

‘The Cradle...’

Ju-Heon frowned after sensing the aura of the Cradle that had started to be felt from the rope.

June was looking at Ju-Heon with a deep gaze. His sparkling gaze seemed quite suspicious.

It was at that moment.

“Excuse me, there is something I must inform you prior to our arrival.”

The attendant on the plane walked over to Ju-Heon and June sneered in annoyance while flicking his finger.

A heinous aura quickly filled the plane.

[An extremely heinous aura is filling the plane.]

“!”

They then heard an explosion on the plane.

Bababang!

“What the hell?!”

The plane lost balance and started shaking violently. It shook uncontrollably before leaning to one side.

Screeeech!

“Aaah!”

Ju-Heon lost balance while Jaeha was flung against the wall.

Jaeha shouted toward the attendant while feeling as if he was going to die.

“We’re going to fall like this! Hurry...huh?!”

Jaeha was at a loss for words as he looked at the employee. He thought that the attendants would be as anxious as them, but...

“W, what?!”

It was the attendant who was giving off the heinous aura.

It was not human.

“An artifact?!”

Ju-Heon frowned.

[Warning. This is the work of an apocalypse artifact.]

Yoo Jaeha shouted at that moment.

"Captain! The plane!”

The plane they were on started to split in half.

Jaeha quickly tried to use his ability to attach the plane back together, but...

Screeeech-

The plane split into two and Ju-Heon and Jaeha started falling down to the Amazon.

“Aaaaaaaaaak!”

The shocked rope, no, the ball of yarn, extended its long body.

[$##&$!]

It's dangerous! It's dangerous!

The yarn quickly wrapped itself around Ju-Heon and Jaeha.

However...

[Unable to use its abilities.]

It was not the rope from heaven, it was just a ball of yarn right now!

It could not fly!

[.........!!!]

The rope that realized this fact started screaming as well as it could only fall into the Amazon River with its master.

Splash!

They were thankfully able to survive thanks to their respective artifacts.

However, the river was extremely deep.

In addition...

[Danger. The powers of apocalypse artifacts are covering the entire river. All artifacts will be destroyed.]

[Unable to use full power in this world.]

[Your body is unable to handle it.]

‘Damn it!’

There was a stench in the river probably from the apocalypse artifacts’ auras.

The two of them tried to quickly head for land, but...

Splash!

“Ugh!”

They were grabbed by the attendants who had fallen with them and dragged down into the water.

“Ugh!”

Ju-Heon couldn’t breathe. He tried to push off the women who were dragging them to the bottom of the river.

However, the Crow that could not use its full powers was the apocalypse artifacts’ first target.

It was the most difficult artifact to deal with even in this world.

However, there was an unexpected helper.

[#$&$!]

The rope, no, the ball of yarn, started choking the attendants.

The attendants released their grips while struggling, giving Ju-Heon the opening to kick the women in the face to get them off and start swimming.

A drenched Ju-Heon soon came back up to the surface.

“Eek!”

He heard Jaeha's voice nearby.

"Captain! Hurry up and grab this!”

Jaeha, who had come back up first, was getting onto a wooden boat.

He had used that short opening to create a boat with his artifact.

As Ju-Heon headed for the boat...

“?!”

There was a large shadow underneath him as if he was looking at the large monster shark, the Megalodon.

[Seo Ju-Heon, you must die here, you bastard.]

It tried to swallow Ju-Heon.

That wasn’t all.

[Warning. Other apocalypse artifacts are rushing over.]

Things that looked like jellyfish tentacles reached out of the river to bind Ju-Heon.

“Ugh!”

The Crow started to have its powers drained by the apocalypse artifacts as well.

‘Tsk...!’

As Ju-Heon was about to summon Mammon...

The entire Amazon River started glowing.

Flash!

It was as if a bright light had flashed at the bottom of the river and shot up.

The apocalypse artifacts in the river started screaming in pain.

This power was extremely strong. The artifacts that had recognized the owner of the power started grinding their teeth.

[What the hell are you doing?! We are on the same side!]

[Yes, this is our chance to kill Seo Ju-Heon!]

Someone ridiculed them from on top of the boat.

“The Majesty exchange has not happened on the other side yet. You can’t kill Seo Ju-Heon before that. Why do you not know something so obvious?”

Jaeha anxiously looked up at the boat.

It was because June, who didn't seem to have a single drop of water on him, was standing on top of the boat he had created.

“Hey...intern!”

June smiled brightly and smacked Jaeha’s hand off the boat. Jaeha immediately fell into the river.

“Ack! Pffft! Pfft! Hey! What the...eeek!”

June guided the boat closer to Ju-Heon. Ju-Heon frowned as June approached him.

[The aura of an extremely strong artifact can be felt.]

[It is a dangerous SSS-Grade artifact.]

‘Is this bastard perhaps...’

June, who was openly giving off the aura of an artifact, activated his abilities.

Booooooooom!

The sky started to split.

It was as if a door was opening.

June started to address Ju-Heon.

“My king. Please let me make a suggestion.”

“!”

“You will be stuck in this world forever at this rate and you will die. Your team members here are fake to the new you.”

June’s smart-looking eyes viciously flashed.

“I will open the gate of time and space so please ignore things here and go back to the other world.”

“What?”

“This is your only chance to go back to the other world. What will you do?”
