Leveling
Ch 175s

Jin Woo doubted his ears.

Who's gonna help?

Besides, are you even human?

Words that were unthinkable before suddenly appeared on their own.

"Tell me, why should I trust you?"

The man had a scary face.

"I'll make you believe"

The man's mouth then moved very quickly and muttered something.

That time.

Jin Woo senses if the magic around starts to get absorbed by the man, and in the blink of an eye,

Jin Woo pulled out his dagger.

If his magic power is large and dangerous, Jin Woo's dagger will pierce the man's forehead immediately.

But Jin Woo didn't do it.

The magic power he felt was very small compared to the amount of magic power he felt

he has it, and Jin Woo also can't sense the presence of enemies or evil in magic.

'...'

Jin Woo continued to stare at the man while maintaining a position to wear the Skill

"『Impale (Diablo III)』".

The tension in the room was terrifying.

But - but

The strange language coming out of the man's mouth suddenly triggered the appearance of a system message.

...[.Monarch of the giants, the earliest Monarch 'Legia' granted the Skill 'Oath of Faithfulness']...

...[.If you accept the 'Oath of Faithfulness', the giver and receiver cannot lie to each other]...

...[.Do you accept 'Oath of Faithfulness'?] (Y/Y)...

It was the message shown to Jin Woo by the man.

"Giant monarch ... "

I came here to hunt but ended up with a strange thing.

Oh, maybe the reason the giant face outside is the same as him is because he's a Giant Monarch.

While Jin Woo was silent, the man waited quietly.

'What should I do?'

Looking at the blinking Y/N message, Jin Woo mused.

If the system is giving a message, this may be important.

I have to judge who can't lie and who is stronger.

But - but

The conclusion is there without consideration.

'Of course he'll lose'

It's there's gambling.

Even if he looks sneaky, if I have questions that are never answered, I

I will ask him in any way.

After all, that was the deal he suggested as well.

Jin Woo is also not naive enough to feel guilty about monsters.

'Yes'

Ring ~

The message system that appears along with the sound of the machine is heard quickly

inform Jin Woo's answer.

...['Oath of Faithfulness' created]...

...[.The giver and the receiver cannot lie to each other until the contract is cancelled...

...joint agreement]...

As soon as Jin Woo receives his vow, the giant Monarch repeats his words as if

he's been waiting for that.

"Take off my seal and I'll help you"

Euph ... Euph ...

Jin Woo was surprised.

His voice did not come out of his mouth, as if it was blocked in his throat.

Seeing that, the Giant Monarch laughed at him.

Yes, this is the 'Oath of Faithfulness' effect'.

...

Indeed indeed.

Effect sure.

Half is curiosity, half is a test,

"I fully trust you" Jin Woo, trying to answer and move on,

"I'll let go of your chains now"

'I can't say anything'

'This is 'Oath of Faithfulness' ... '

Jin Woo's heart surged madly after confirming the effects of the Skill.

All because of this allows Jin Woo to trust the words of the giant Monarch

to a certain degree.

Well, not 100 percent sure.

If we had to tell each other the truth, it was clear that we would

hiding information that is not beneficial to us.

Jin Woo's eyes became sharper than before he received the Skill.

"Why can you speak freely, like no other?"

"Who are you?"

"Monster from Gates.Ah - I mean residents of Hyeonseo"

The giant monarch sneered.

"Instead, I want to ask.How can you be different from other monsters?"

Note: 4 sentences up does not mean the oath as well

The exact question, and it made Monarch speechless.

"The inhabitants of Gates are all fangs.The soldiers that Rulers defeated and captured.So, be reasonable

but I'm different, I'm Monarch.I've waited a long time for the day when

I'm out of their hands"

Monarch laughed lightly.

"And this is where I met you"

...

Jin Woo tries to accept his words as sensationally as possible without being distracted by his emotions.

'If he really was one level higher than the other monsters ... '

This might be a clue.

Gulp -

Jin Woo swallowed his saliva.

There are a lot of things I want to ask, but there is something I want to check before then.

"What army of Rulers wore silver armor and had wings on the back

her back ...?"

"They are soldiers of the Rulers"

I know it.

This riddle began to reveal its color.

At that moment, Jin Woo suddenly felt that the image shown by the angel statue

it might be the memory of someone real.

"What's really going on right now?"

Jin Woo asked.

Why do the Rulers keep sending monsters to Earth?

What is the reason for Gates

If I knew the reason, how would it be possible to prevent Gates from showing up?

Jin Woo is curious about many things.

What answer?

The Giant Monarch then replied.

"They're preparing for war"

A war?

"They will turn this world into a battlefield and fight again with

Other monarchs"

I don't understand ... They thought the earth would turn into a battlefield

when they sent monsters?

No, sometimes worse circumstances than war do occur.

Jin Woo then recalls what happened at Jin-ah's school.

It was indeed a human mistake, but it was hard to see it as preparation for

war of creatures unattainable by man.

"To turn your world into a world full of magic"

Thud -

Jin Woo was hit in the back of his head.

If monsters are a disaster from Gates, then magic is a blessing from Gates.

Not only the Hunters, but also many ordinary people also thought so.

Core magic.

It is now the best source of energy for the Earth.

Are they really stepping stones to war?

The giant monarch then proceeded to explain.

"There is no better way to plant power that does not exist than through blood

of those who have the power.Therefore the Rulers decided to use

needless to say, the concentration of magic power is very thick

a natural phenomenon, but the fruit of a tree growing from a well-built field.

And it was their plan to strengthen your world so as not to be lost

impact of war"

"Then the war ...?"

"That's a war between the Rulers and the Monarch.Now, your place of life will turn into

Jin Woo has seen their fight before, and he knows what it says

that man was a possible thing if war were to happen.

If the earth was chosen as the place for such a battle, the Earth would definitely become

hell World.

Monarch's face then darkened and continued.

"There's no time anymore"

"...?"

"If they find out you're in contact with me, neither Monarch nor the Rulers will

and maybe their emissaries have started to move"

"They're always aiming at me. .. what's the reason?"

"You don't really know anything"

The king regretted having said in his lengthy explanation.

"The power you have is not yours"

Nod - 

Jin Woo agreed with the man.

The ability of "Shadow Monarch" was indeed given to him by the System.

And he could not deny if it was said down it was not his own.

"That power comes to you, and it means that the original owner has betrayed the people

Other monarchs"

"I also felt another force in common.Maybe it's one of the inhabitants of modern times

who became a follower"

The giant monarch then continued with words that seemed to be beyond doubt.

"You are enemies to the Monarchs and the Rulers, but I swear I will always stand by your side.

So why don't you help me out right now?"

At this point, the giant Monarch persuaded Jin Woo excitedly.

But.

Jin Woo slowly recovers from his difficult thoughts.

"If you want to stand by my side, wouldn't it be better if you became my Shadow Soldier?"

The giant monarch was amazed to hear that.

His face that overlapped with a human face showed a smile.

That's not wrong.

For humans, getting loyal subordinates is better than making new alliances.

Monarch then said, after admiring the fact that he could not miss that point.

"The Monarchs and Rulers are Spirits.And spirits can't be the Shadow Soldier's if

they're dead.So, I can't be your soldier"

Jin Woo nodded in agreement.

'So 'cause it's yes'

That's why Monarch thinks Jin Woo will help her.

'Oath of Faithfulness' is maintained, so there is no need to check its authenticity.

Jin Woo, who was in an unfavorable condition, raised his head.

The giant monarch then asked.

"Is there enough reason to help me now?"

Jin Woo just looked at her.

The giant monarch was full of confidence that the bond that bound him would be imminent

loosed.

Jin Woo doesn't think there will be any other mistakes.

He also did not think if there was any reason to attack someone who said he would

become allies.

But - but

Why do I feel so uncomfortable?

'Something ... I missed something'

I have to remember what it is.

Jin Woo's forehead was filled with cold sweat.

The giant monarch once again begged.

"Destroy the chain"

Jin Woo then took a deep breath.

No matter how worried I was, there was no reason to refuse his help.

The more I wondered what I had missed, the more I felt like I was

in swamps.

'I'm like a lost person ... '

Jin Woo then takes 『Devil King's Dagger』 and approaches the giant Monarch.

Seeing Jin Woo walking over to him, the giant Monarch nodded.

Jin Woo also nodded back at her.

When I slash it with a magic-powered dagger, the chain will definitely be cut off

by force.

ba-bump's ba-bump!

Then, why is my heart throbbing with a strange feeling.

Why did the fuzzy obscurity appear at the time I made this decision?

Clang - Clang

Two chains are broken.

The giant monarch looked at it with an exhilarating feeling.

Clang - Clang

Another chain is broken.

Jin Woo then goes behind Monarch to cut the chain rooted on his back.

And.

Ba dum Ba dum!

Jin Woo's heart kept beating fast.

He felt his heart sink.

I wondered what I was missing, why I had this feeling, and the flow

another thought continued to appear as if entering a large crack open in Jin Woo's mind.

He then stopped his hand that was trying to cut the chain and looked at Monarch.

"You said you'd stand by my side, right?"

"Of course.If you help me, I'll help you.This is an agreement between

Fair and perfect monarch"

This answer has been heard by Jin Woo several times.

And this was also not the answer that Jin Woo wanted to check.

So Jin Woo asks the real question.

"So you're on the human side?"

"..."

The monarch was silent.

'Oath of Faithfulness'.

The giant Monarch could not give Jin Woo an answer.

Jin Woo then looks at the back of Monarch's neck again.

There, there was a black marble stuck in his neck and shining coldly.

As long as this is there, he should listen to the orders of the Rulers.

Just like the others.

'Kill all humans'

That's certain.

His life has passed.

Monarch suddenly tried to grab Jin Woo with her free right hand.

But it's not enough to reach Jin Woo.

Jin Woo retaliated by hitting her on the head, yelling at her, and finally stabbing

his dagger in his chest.

Stabs -

The dagger penetrated deep into his heart.

Slash!

The giant monarch spewed blood.

But this still hasn't killed him enough.

And it's too dangerous to keep this guy alive.

Because, he's probably gonna make a disaster outside Gates.

Jin Woo, who was convinced by that, dodged from Monarch's hands repeatedly

attacking him, then continuing to attack the Monarch's chest with his dagger.

Stab,Stab,Stab,Stab,Stab,Stab -

After the dagger entered his chest six times, the gigantic 'Monarch' hand stopped.

Then - later

Jin Woo pulled his dagger.

The giant Monarch laughed as she looked at Jin Woo and his straight gaze.

Dear her.

...

Jin Woo then stepped back and quietly whispered blood on the dagger.

The king was a wild horse and said.

"The more ferocious the fights of the inhabitants of your world and the prisoners held captive, so,

the closer your world turns into a battlefield"

Finally Monarch smiled again.

"Then ... all the things you want to keep will burn in the battlefield ..."

"It's not gonna be what you want it to be"

Jin Woo cuts off Monarch's neck with a dagger and drops his head.

The spit!

...[.You have killed the Dungeon Boss]...

As he took a breath, the sea-like magic power sleeping within him exploded.

And the world is starting to change.
