Week pass.
-Or…
The monster tripped making the sound of the pot boiling. A goblin king. The senior members from the 5th floor had fallen.
I stared at the goblin king's face with a sure expression.
Gor.
This monster is the strongest I saw this week. How many times have I died to get this monster? I drove out the goblin king with the thought of expelling the brave enemy warrior …
stop the nonsense yourself. You psychotic zombie.
“Ah. Oh gosh. I barely managed to hunt this after 6 Coins. Can't you let me see peacefully? ”
6 Coins means I have risked 6 lives. Right now, I am on the 6th coin, so I have died 5 times to obtain this goblin king.
Bae Hu-ryeong snorted.
you're crazy to be immersed in such thoughts after catching a monster. I'm just talking facts.
“Wow, so. Our Sword Emperor's personality is excellent. ”
You might be able to tell from our conversation, but now I'm used to Aura. Time was still flowing slowly due to the effect of the elixir.
It was just that I spoke much faster than usual by focusing my aura on my tongue.
“Gork.”
Even though it was not a resolute win and I used dirty tricks to win.
I took out a dirt-colored card and checked it.
+
[Goblin High Society]
Rank: F
Effect: The goblin king has disappeared, he thought. ‘The cultural level for us goblins is too low. All languages end with kerrk, kerk. I cannot show my dignity with this! ‘ Later. The goblin king's genius mind flashed. ‘That's right! From now on, I'll talk gork and not kerk. Gork! It was a pronunciation that perfectly matched a precious king. ‘
※ However, fights within the tribe became worse.
※ This is a Skill copied from the Great King Goblin monster.
+
I clicked my tongue.
“Goblin worries the most unnecessary things. Kerk and gork are basically the same thing. ”
that's why they're goblins. Humans are not much different either.
“What?”
- I'm talking to myself.
When I was about to ask what he meant, a voice sounded in my head.
[Your existence becomes clearer. ]
It was a voice I had never heard before.
But I know what it means. Countless players had testified, and even showed their own videos of it.
“F, Finally!”
It's level up!
[Kim Gong-ja Hunter Level is growing. ]
“Ah..”
It moved. I have lived my whole life as a Class F hunter. I really want to live like this. But I have copy skills and backward skills, and after the pain hurdle ... while leveling up finally arrived for me.
[Your skill slots are increasing! ]
[Your hunter rank is now Class E! ]
I am only an E class.
[Good luck with you. ]
Swooshes!
A red aura flashed from my feet. Objects similar to red liquid covered my body. Then, it slid back and disappeared.
-.. Is it fireworks?
Bae Hu-ryeong furrowed her brows.
or blood? Hm. That's disconcerting. I think it's fireworks or blood…
“It's just an artifact leveling up, right?”
- This is not an artifact that looks cool.
Bae Hu-ryeong scratched the back of her head.
- It's kind of a clue.
“Hint?”
-mm. The type of artifact that appeared to him determined the [Aura Shape]. Even the Fire Emperor you killed. That person's form was probably [Fire].
“Firework, you said”
I try to remember. Scene of the Flame Emperor killing Saints with fire in the slums. It's not a good memory to repeat but.it looks like Yoo Soo-ha is dealing with a fire-related form of Aura.
– Trauma hunters are usually based on their Aura shape.
Traumatizing.
- Important ways. Scene. Memories. The measure of your life appears as a form of your aura. Like a form of one's unconsciousness? Well, it doesn't have to be negative trauma. But generally so.
“I'm curious.”
from what I know, yours is either fire or blood.
Listening to him speak, I became
Curious.
“Now after you say that...what is the shape of the Sacred Sword Aura?”
-Monthly light.
Bae Hu-ryeong casually threw it.
grandpops Marcus says he got lost in the mountains when he was young. He did not want to die, so he climbed all the way to the top, and as he reached the peak, the leaves covering the night sky began to reveal the sky. When he reached the top, he saw the entire black night sky.
Moonlight ( ⁇ )
he said he was thinking something. The moon does not shine by itself, but by the light of the sun. Even the life of someone who had just received could be more than wonderful. Uh. I also want to shine by receiving that light.
“…”
he said it was quite memorable for him to keep it in his heart all his life.
I am not calm listening to his story.
“But he said that when he was young.”
yep. When he was 12 years old.
“What kind of 12-year-old has such deep thoughts?”
Bae Hu-ryeong nodded.
that's why Marcus' grandfather was born a boomer. Ck ckc. When I was 12, I was just thinking about how to efficiently destroy the bully in front of me.
“No, I guess it is... normal too..”.
If the Sword Saint was born a boomer, then what was Bae Hu-ryeong? Born as a bully?
– By the way, you are already used to the 5th floor. Let's go up to the 6th.
“Ah, about it.”
I spoke.
“Can't we go directly to the 10th floor boss?”
-what?
“I know that I can imitate the monster skill. I am somewhat used to Aura now. I think I can get a 10th floor boss now. ”
Bae Hu-ryeong closed her mouth for a moment.
He looked at me sharply.
Kim Gong-ja's. Is a beginner too arrogant?
“Of course not.”
I answered firmly.
In our world, no one had made it past the 10th floor for several years. Since I dared to say that I would clear the area with that high level of difficulty, Bae Hu-ryeong's concern towards me was already expected.
I am very confident.
But I'm pretty sure I can do it.
No, I'm sure.
“If I can't do it with 2 Coins, I'll call you Seseung-nim.”
-oh? 2 Coins?
Bae Hu-ryeong looked seduced.
- A man who took 6 Coins to catch a goblin boss would defeat a 10th floor boss with just 2 Coins? Really true? You definitely don't know, but I don't let people out of betting that easily.
“But! I have a condition. ”
-hm?
I raised my index finger.
“You should tell me what skills the 10th floor boss has without hiding anything. You can't lie about this. Deceiving me with a card is also not allowed. ”
“Also!”
I grinned.
And if I win, call me Gong-ja-nim. Possibly polite. With respect.”
-… ..
“Why? Afraid? Ha. If you are afraid, you should stop. ”
Squirms.
The expression most hated by the bully is probably ‘fear?’ And Bae Hu-ryeong is no ordinary bully. He was the biggest bully ever to climb to the 99th floor.
His facial muscles are twitching.
-Easy! This beginner ridiculed the great Sword Emperor just because he had a cheat skill? Hoohoohoo, okay. Let's bet on it!
“Betaruh.”
- Bet! Kim Zombie, you won't be able to defeat the 10th floor boss and must call me Seseung-nim until you die. Uh! But since you can't die, you just need to say Seseung-nim forever.
“Do you also have hallucination skills? Prepare to serve Gong-ja-nim. ”
- Hehe.
Kehe.
We both glared at each other and laughed wickedly.
Hunters who had hunted goblins from afar whispered amongst themselves.
“Hei. The man continued to talk to himself from before. ”
“And now he even laughs to himself. Does he have a mental problem? ”
“SH! He might look like this. Let's just say you don't see, pretend. ”
“…”
… I should probably stop talking to myself now.
I calmly closed my mouth and headed towards the 10th floor.
4.
Unlike other hunting grounds, there was a doorman in front of the 10th floor boss room.
The person sent from the Hunter Association furrowed his brows listening to what I said.
“You want to try your own boss room?”
“Iya.”
It only took two seconds for his face to turn into an expression like he asked ‘Who is this lunatic?’
“Um. I don't know if you saw the news last time.30 honorary members of the Black Dragon guild. Together with the 4 highest ranks, they failed. Hunting for yourself means suicide. ”
“Terus?”
I'm convinced.
“Sending hunters to attack they want is Association rule.”
“It was true but..”
He has a troubled expression.
“I'm sorry, but I wrote down all the hunters that came in here. My boss will probably check this out, and I'll be the bad guy who let the hunters die. Please consider my situation as well. ”
“Mm.”
What am I supposed to do? I calmly stroked my chin.
-Apa? Asosiasi Pemburu? Kami tidak pernah memiliki orang-orang itu di duniaku!
I meant to say that I was the only one who was calm.
this stupid fool! I don't like how they do fucking politics making guilds and associations. That's why they're still begging on the bloody 10th floor! Hey, Kim Zombie! Just hit this guy and go to the boss room.
‘What Why should I beat an innocent person?’
he dared to block your way.
He is not only a psychopath but also a mosquito.
“Doorkeeper-nim.”
I clicked my tongue inside and took out my pocket.
“I can see you working hard. You're correct. I tried it myself was just a suicide plan. But I really wanted to kill myself. ”
“Excuse?”
“I've been so tired lately..”.
I smiled bitterly.
“Pacar saya meninggal 1 tahun lalu. Beberapa waktu lalu, Kastil Alkimia mengatakan bahwa saya menderita penyakit mematikan. Bahkan jika saya hidup, itu hanya akan setengah tahun, dan saya tidak memiliki kepercayaan diri untuk menanggung setengah tahun tanpa pacar saya. ”
“Ah..”
-what?
Bae Hu-ryeong grimaced.
- What did this zombie man say?
I disregarded it. And I kept whispering to the doorman.
“But even if I am a lowly soldier, I am still a hunter. I don't want to enter the Alchemy Castle hospital wondering when I will die. Even if I die, I want to challenge the monsters to the end. ”
“You have ..”
He had a pitiful face looking at me. Youknew. The face people make when they listen to the misfortune of others.
This is the money I collect to fight.
I handed the pocket to the doorman. There are 100 Gold in it.
“After all I have no place to use it.. You can have it.”.
“A, I can't accept this money!”
“I want to leave this world lightly, door-nim guard. And please don't write what I put here. That was the last request in my hunter's life. ”.
His face became heavy, like he was about to cry. And a little bit of that burden probably comes from that money bag.
“...Good. Inserting. I don't see anything.. ”.
-Ha, look at this.
She's confused.
-hey. Are you two filming a movie? This isn't a joke, is it?
Whatever the case, the doorman let me in.
I left it and moved inside. It was a rocky road. The 10th floor boss's residence was like the luxurious residence of an old noble family. I walk on the rocky path.
‘Floor 10 Fire Emperor Yoo Soo-ha cleared.’
I stood in front of the big door.
I slowly opened the door.
‘This time is different. Instead of the Fire Emperor. ‘
Creaaac.
The door opened with a loud voice.
‘I will write a legend more interesting than the Fire Emperor.
I took a step forward.
And it started.
- hahahahaha!
I hear laughter from around me. At the same time, the door I used to enter was closed. The explosion! In an instant, my surroundings darkened, and the shivering laughter became louder.
The candles blink one by one.
are you going to play with me?
Here and there. The candle flashes even though no one touches it. Where the candle is lit, there is a doll. Little dolls played by children.
- Will you play with us?
The doll spoke.
- Freeze tag? The flower bloomed? Friday night?
– Ice melts. Flowers ripped. Let's go with hide and seek!
-Come! Play with us! Play hide and seek with us!
- hahaha!
I'm preparing.
“Good. I'll play with you. ”
The aura I trained in my body surged.
As if waiting for me, a voice sounded in my head.
[You have entered the boss stage. ]
[Challenger is hunter Kim Gong-ja. 1 person. ]
[Good luck with you. ]
The stage that has not been cleaned by humans.
‘Hide and Seek of Hellfire Residence’ starts.
