Round 35 – My Death Is (2)
“Holy Sword...?”
The Crusaders frowned.
“What are you doing here?”
He probably did not expect to meet her in this small alley. It was an unexpected place and person. It doesn't seem like a coincidence.
A young woman is already having problems with hearing.
The old man was emitting murderous intent towards me.
“I'm sure I said to move. I have something to do with the guy there. ”
“Did you say that you want to talk yourself to hunter Kim Gong-ja?”
“Hahs. I'm not interested in his name. ”
“· …………….”
The atmosphere of the alley changed.
The Crusaders no longer frowned. He expressionlessly glared at the Sacred Sword. The guard must have woken up.
“Moving.”
Sword Saint spoke.
I told you to move 3 times.
“What does not make sense three times will not make sense even after 30 times. Sword Saint. Are you losing your mind with your age? ”
The Crusader took his sword.
“Hunter Kim Gong-ja has already joined five guilds, along with the Civil Militia. I don't know what you're thinking but. Don't think that the Civil Militia will be silent. ”
“Ha!”
The Holy Sword snorted.
“I know that. All the guilds work together. I know it.”
“...work together. I don't know what you're trying to say. ”
The mood gets worse with time.
“Holy Sword. I know because it's been reported that you're hunting humans. Of course, if it was in accordance with your morals, I wouldn't say much. But it's different if you plan on doing it right in front of me. ”
“Different?”
“I'll stop it with my life.”
Are you sure you can do that?
“No.”
The Crusaders looked at the Holy Sword expressionlessly.
“I will fight with all my strength, and die. And when I die, you'll be someone who kills innocent players. Sword Saint. If you want to live the rest of your life as a murderer, be my guest. ”
“· …………….”
“Life you don't have long to live. I'll show you. ”
The old face of the Sacred Sword was tangled.
It's afternoon. The sun was setting rapidly in the alley. I could feel people walking there along the alley, but there was no one here except us. That's silence.
‘Ya.’
I brought the Crusaders here to make this kind of silence.
‘Weak Holy Swords for innocent people.’
And the Crusaders were probably the only innocent people from the great guild.
When the Holy Sword tried to kill me in the final regression, the Crusaders were between the Holy Sword and me.
-ms.Crusader.
you're the only person here who doesn't hurt anyone. Good. I'm gonna trust you.
That's what he said last time.
That meant.
‘Commissioning Crusaders count is [0].’
Even the Sacred Sword has a hard moral. Since he had that standard, the Crusaders would look like better people.
‘The Sword Saint will never be able to injure the Crusaders.’
To the bad guy, he was a murderer, but to the good guy, he was a harmless old man.
And…
‘Not only Crusaders.’
Someone walked beside us. It was a pharmacist. On the appearance of the Holy Sword and the Crusader, he hesitated, and he spread out his hands.
“E, excuse me.”
The pharmacist spoke. Even his chin was trembling probably because he was so nervous. He bit his lips a few times and finally managed to speak.
“I don't know about what this is... but c, customer is here! He's my savior! ”
The future Lord of Alchemy spoke as loudly as he could.
“It's not like there's a law in Babylon like in the outside world but.. protect the customer it's o, obviously! I Can't forgive you if you touch the customer here! ”
“· …………….”
“A few days ago gangsters made a mess and I was in trouble! Sorry, but please get out of here! ”
The pharmacist shouted. If he fought the Holy Sword, he would die in a second. But he was still weak to her.
It's for the same reason.
‘Saintess. Crusaders. The Lord of Alchemy Castle. ‘
These three hunters are notoriously good-natured.
‘Even when the Flame Emperor was in the slums, the Ruler of the Alchemy Castle arrived first.’
Good guy.
They are always on the short side, and receive more stress than anyone else.
But the only person who could stop the Sword Saint was a good person like them.
“What will you do?”
The Crusaders spoke.
“If you want to make a mess, please just.”
“· …………….”
The Sacred Sword hesitated. If I'm right, the outcome is decided.
Dan, I was right.
Not long after, the old sword user pulled back his sword.
“... Today is not his day.”
The Sacred Sword took its murderous aura back.
Even as he walked back, he glared at me.
“I hope we don't see each other again. If he has nothing to do with you, his head will be on the floor. ”
Good.
Stage 2 is clear.
With this, the Holy Sword will not swing its sword at me at any time. Even if he kills me, I will have a chance to talk.
“Holy Sword!”
Before the old man actually turned around, I shouted.
“I'll wait in the field empty tomorrow morning!”
“· …………….”
“You can come if you want. I'll be waiting. Really is! If you want to know what kind of man I am, come tomorrow morning! ”
The old man looked at me. He examined my face with his blue eyes. But that's all. Without any response, he returned outside the alley.
As soon as his heavy footsteps could not be heard anymore, the Crusader sighed.
“Wah! Just barely. To meet the killer tonight. ”
Assassin.
“..Is the Holy Sword famous as a killer?”
“Not famous. But the five Guild Masters knew very well. ”
The Crusader shook his head.
I heard he lost his daughter to a killer outside the tower.
“· …………….”
“Therefore, the Holy Sword does not release the assassins. He's very tough. Well, we don't have any proof, so we're just watching. And this is definitely a secret. ”
Bae Hu-ryeong was in front of me.
yep. Marcus' grandfather told me that before. His daughter and daughter-in-law were killed by a serial killer. His grandchildren barely survived.
‘Why are you saying that now?’
- huh? What are you talking about? You didn't ask.
Bae Hu-ryeong spoke shamelessly.
Yep. He's always been like this.
“Good. It's not like I don't understand the Holy Sword. ”
The Crusaders looked around bitterly.
In the empathy alley, the night casts a shadow of the building.
“Working in Civil Militia, you meet a killer. Sometimes, there are times when you think that it is okay for them to kill. ”
The Crusaders muttered.
“All guild masters have a story behind it. Gong-ja Kim. Since you are not with us, you will notice that there is little disgusting about us. How you will react. mm. ”
He shook his head. Was it because he thought he was saying too many things to outsiders?
We're off the subject.
He deliberately spoke in a brighter voice.
“So, how many ingredients are here? Civil Militia is also not well funded so it will be a little complicated if it is too expensive but. ”.
4.
Next day.
I saw my own phone in an empty field.
There is not a single soul here. That's obvious. The Babylonian hunters were all in the square throwing parties.
It was similar to the last regression.
“But there is something different.”
I saw the news that appeared on my phone.
– [Bringing] 11th floor, guild attack? The Black Dragon gathered all its members.
-Guild make team to clean …
the Heretic Inquiry! “You must have a team for the 11.” floor
the source of the information is a puzzle…
Is correct.
The world has changed a little.
Karena aku.
“· …………….”
And that's gonna change again.
“Hmm.”
Sword Saint entered from the other side. The sky behind him looked very blue. People were screaming from the city.
[ 00:01:31 ]
A light clock floated in the air.
Langit biru, suara orang, dan jam cahaya.
Sword Saint walked towards me with all of that behind him.
“You're totally on your own.”
The Sword Saint stopped.
“Is this the confidence to be able to fight against myself? Well, I guess if you're a killer who does all that, you'll be confident. ”
His eyes when he saw me felt completely new. Totally different from the last time.
It was because there was recognition and respect in his life last time.
But right now, there's none of that.
Enmity. Enmity.
He seems to be seeing a killer.
- zombies?
”
- Are you okay?
I nodded in my heart.
I was just a little hurt.
“Holy Sword.”
I folded my mind.
“There's something I want to tell you.”
“Continue. If that's what you want, I'll listen to it. ”
“I know why you are like this.”
The Holy Sword raised the corner of his mouth.
“I saw. You know your own mistakes. ”
“That's because of the skills you have.”
“· …………….”
The face of the Sacred Sword hardened.
“How are you..?”
“Please believe what I will say.”
I think about how hard it is to gain someone's trust when I say that.
Everyone has a stubborn nature. For the Sacred Sword, it was his [Detective’s Insight] skill. Skills that indicate the number of murders of a person. The Sacred Sword looks at you if its skill says so.
That's why it's his stubbornness.
He lives up to that stubbornness.
The moment he threw away that stubbornness, he would throw away his lifestyle.
“You must convince such a person.”
And I have to make him trust me.
I need to make him ignore the lifestyle he lived up to now.
Thinking about it now, I realized how difficult it was.
‘But.I can do it.’
Aku mengepalkan tangan.
“I can also risk my life.”
I opened my mouth.
“Saint-nim Sword. I am a prophet. ”
“What?”
“I have skills similar to prophecy. That's how I know you have those skills. If I stay like this, you'll kill me, and I'll ask why you should kill me. ”
“· …………….”
“Then, you said that you have a skill called [Detective’s Insight], and there is a number called [4093] above my head.”
That's a little lie.
But I need to convince him even by lying.
[ 00:00:00 ]
The clock in the sky turned to zero. Fireworks exploded. I can hear the cheers.
The old man and I.
We just looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, the Sacred Sword spoke.
“-Take.”
“What?”
“I hide my left hand behind my back. And my finger is held. Tell me how many fingers I hold. “
Good.
So that's how he got out.
I was expecting this.
“If you can not guess, I will know that you b...”
The Holy Sword might be preparing to attack.
But he didn't expect anything like this.
Before the Sacred Sword can speak, I take out a dagger. Without hesitation, I cut my throat.
“What?!”
The eyes of the Sacred Sword widened.
He only attacked others all his life. He didn't think I'd cut my neck. Because of that 1 second, I was able to kill myself.
And.
[You are dead. ]
[You had a setback to 24 hours ago. ]
1 Second is enough for me.
Again, I started my day.
I descended from the 10th floor and met the members of the large guild. The Crusaders and I walked into the alley. We met the Holy Sword.
[ 00:00:00 ]
And time is in this moment again.
“-Take.”
It was the same test as my last regression.
But my reaction was not the same as last time. Instead, I spoke as I had expected before.
“You tried to hide your hands behind your back again.”
“· …………….”
“You tried to ask me how many fingers you raised. It's easy to kill me here. But you can't finish the 12th floor stage like this. Many will lose their lives. ”
“...Wait.”
The Holy Sword spoke.
“This is not enough. You can have other skills.. ”.
Good.
Just once is not enough.
I was expecting this.
[You are dead. ]
[You had a setback to 24 hours ago. ]
It is not easy to convince someone.
“It's not enough proof. Could be..”
“You think it could be another skill like clairvoyance or something else.”
But it's okay.
If he wants to test me, he can keep doing it.
[You are dead. ]
[You had a setback to 24 hours ago. ]
He can suspect me as much as he wants.
[You are dead. ]
[You had a setback to 24 hours ago. ]
It doesn't matter if it takes a week or a month.
[You are dead. ]
[You had a setback to 24 hours ago. ]
I'm sure I can convince him.
My death is longer than your life.
“· …………….”
Then, the Sacred Sword covered its mouth.
All suspicions have been answered.
I speak calmly.
“Saint-nim Sword. Trust me.”
“· …………….”
“You can't kill me here. Countless innocent people would die on the 12th floor stage. Right. I didn't tell you I was innocent, and I didn't tell you to save me forever. ”
“...Then?”
“5 days.”
I raised my finger.
“Please don't kill me for the next few days. Following me, you can judge with your own two eyes if I deserve to die. ”
The Sword Saint was silent.
I know that he hesitated.
Last shot is needed.
And I know what ‘the last blow’ was.
“You still don't believe me.”
“· …………….”
“You said something to me in the future. You know that I am truly a prophet if I say this. ”
“...what is it?”
I answered.
Sword Emperor.
The old man's eyes widened.
I keep talking, however.
“I don't know who it is, but you said you'd believe me if I said it.”
“· …………….”
That's silence.
The cheers still came from a far away city. I could even see the shadow of the goddess descending.
As the goddess slowly began to disappear, the old Holy Sword spoke.
“5 days. Youth.”
“Iya.”
“Good.”
The Holy Sword looked me in the eye.
“I will follow you for 5 days. I'll watch you say and do without missing anything. After that, I will decide whether you are a prophet or not. ”
“· …………….”
“Is this good?”
Hugely.
“...Yes. Good. Enough.”
I bow my head.
“Thank you, really.”
All conditions are clean.
First, get an appointment from the Guild Master.
Second, stop the Sacred Sword from killing me immediately.
Third, ask the Holy Sword to trust me for a while.
‘Finally.’
Now, finally, even if we go up to the 12th floor, the Sword Saint and the Guild Master will not clash.
Innocent hunters will not die.
“Then, Holy Sword. See you at the next level. ”
I could barely speak through my tight throat.
The Sacred Sword looked at me strangely, but I can't worry about that right now. I have to do what I have to do.
“Send.”
White light surrounded me.
I felt my heart beating fast, I thought in my heart.
‘Now all that remains is the hunt for the Demon King.’
World's changing.
‘Wait. Demon King. ‘
And that's gonna change a little.
