“wake up.”
At those words, Seo Jun-ho, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly got up.
Reiji opened his mouth as he circled around him like an assistant.
“It’s been a few days since you came here.
ji?”
“Ten days.”
“… … Well, I’ve managed to get a good look at it. It must be because he likes the teacher.”
“What do you mean?”
Her head nodded at the voice of subtle expectation.
“You seem to know how to hide your toenails, so let’s finish the lesson here.”
“thank you! But… …
Seo Jun-ho hesitated and slurred his words.
Learn to conceal the power of annihilation yourself
It was because I realized something while crying.
“Is this all right? I can’t hide my power 100% yet.”
“I have big dreams too. You taught a newborn baby how to crawl, and it already wants to fly?”
“yes?”
“What do you think I will say to you?”
“..don’t tell me?”
“I know. Do you think it’s foolish to hide 100% of your power just because it’s been a few days since you became extinct? that’s seconds
It’s only possible when you have the moon in front of you.”
“iced coffee.”
If it was that difficult, it must have looked very arrogant.
Seo Jun-ho nodded his head with a look of regret.
“All right. Still, I learned a lot thanks to you.”
“I just need to know. Take this.”
Reiji threw something.
When I snatched it out of the air, it was a small ring.
“What ring is it?”
“You’ll know when you wear it.”
Hearing those words, Seo Jun-ho’s eyes widened as he put the ring on his middle finger.
“Oh. this… …
“How is it, doesn’t it look good?”
Reiji grinned.
Like she said, the moment I put on the ring, the energy of destruction that I couldn’t hide disappeared like a lie.
However, the downside was that most of his magic power was limited.
“Are you giving it to me?”
“Take it. Because I don’t need it anymore.”
“thank you. however… … no.”
If you have something like this, please give it to me sooner.
Then ten days would have been saved.
Reading that sign, Reiji’s eyebrows twitched.
“Look how cocky this bastard is! You rescued a drowning man, so you asked for a bag?”
“Not that… …
“There are only a few things that can be blocked with a ring. And what if the ring is destroyed?”
“You are absolutely right. It’s not good to rely 100% on equipment.”
Seo Jun-ho, who couldn’t even make it, apologized by bowing 90 degrees.
“You know, get out of here. Because it made me feel bad.”
“… … Thank you for always.”
“Go. Would you like more?”
“Go, I’ll go. But where is the exit… …
When Laiji waved his hand as if he was annoyed, Seo Jun-ho’s new model quickly disappeared.
Left alone in the gymnasium, she lit a smoke pipe and bit her mouth.
“Are you all right?”
Asked Gray, who appeared cutting through the space.
” what.”
“The ring you gave to player Seo Jun-ho. I saw it as the number 899, ‘Dark Medicine (暗；®)’.”
“Right?”
“What do you mean by driving too much from the top?
I will. Besides, Reiji-sama is in a state of hatred due to the previous Confession Building incident.”
“Anyway, you idiots. They all look like they’re going to die, but they’re following the rules.”
She clicked her tongue and continued, puffing out smoke.
“But this time it’s okay. It’s not like they gave it away for free.”
“Isn’t it free?”
“uh. It was a deal. Rather, a transaction in which I benefit.”
Gray tilted his head at that confident statement and asked.
“Has player Seo Jun-ho ever had an item of such great value that he traded it for secret drugs?”
“Was there?”
When Reiji snapped his fingers, the holy sword that had been leaning on the sofa in his room suddenly appeared.
“How about it, if I exchanged it for this, I’m much more profitable?”
“… … Isn’t that Helic’s holy relic? I know you told player Seo Jun-ho to retrieve it.”
“whatever. it’s in my hands now I will return it later.”
With this, he did not have to hear the question from above.
The sun god’s trinity was enough to trade with secret drugs.
“But then, Reiji-sama could be scolded instead of Helic-sama, right?”
“whatever.”
As if that was a problem, Reiji asked back and smiled.
“It’s okay if it’s not me~”
* * *
Seo Jun-ho, who got into the elevator, hesitated for a moment.
I had gone up to the ninth floor, but on that occasion I was forcibly kidnapped.
This was the first time I had pressed the 9th floor button with my own hand.
“Are you trembling?”
“To be honest, I’m nervous.”
Surrey smiled as she leaned against the elevator wall with her arms crossed.
“Don’t be too scared. you too
I’ve grown enough, and my first daughter… … Because I have it.”
After becoming one with the Frost Queen of the 8th floor, her powers grew beyond recognition.
The presence of frost was also a decisive factor in his determination to invade the ninth floor.
“If you go up, you won’t need the original girl for a while, right?”
“Maybe it’s better to prune yourself.”
According to Reiji, there are quite a few demons who can confirm the existence of spirits.
At best, he hid the power of annihilation, but if the spirit was by his side, he would inevitably be suspected.
Surrey nodded her head coolly.
“Then the original woman will be resting for a while… … If it’s dangerous, call me.”
“I am resting. For the time being, I will try my best not to call you.”
At the same time as the reverse summoning of the spirit, her presence and appearance disappeared.
now completely alone.
-I am here, partner.
Yes, I have a hunch.
With a faint smile on his face, Seo Jun-ho pressed the 9th floor button.
[The ninth floor.]
The title of Opener of Spring did not activate.
When I visited the 9th floor before, all of my stats had already risen once.
‘But it doesn’t matter. This time, because of the death of the Heavenly Demon, the effect of the one who walks ahead was applied.’
All stats +50 when the highest level among players.
To maintain this effect, he had to move diligently.
Even at this moment, the best players in the universe must be training hard.
“… … Muddy air.”
When I got out of the elevator, the red wilderness filled my vision.
Where should I go.
After thinking for a while, Seo Jun-ho asked.
“Intuition, where should I go?”
– South.
“good.”
With that one word, the destination was determined.
South.
The attack on the 9th floor starts there.
The gatekeeper looked up at the sky.
It has been decades since he served as the gatekeeper of this city.
He murmured, who enjoyed looking up at the sky whenever he was bored.
“The sky is clear today. a traveler
It should be a lot.”
The sky in the Demon Realm was mostly cloudy.
So on a sunny day like today, there would be a lot of travelers from other territories.
Even so, two large troupes had arrived in the morning alone.
‘Oh, you’re coming again. I heard that the witch will come when I say it. That nobleman can’t even become a nobleman.’
Just in time, I see a man slowly approaching from the far end of the red wilderness.
Moon looked at him with narrow eyes
Gigi tilted her head.
‘Nothing to ride, no luggage?’
It was a very strange thing.
This place, even the nearest manor from Berman, was a fifteen-day carriage ride away.
The gatekeeper stopped the man who approached.
“stop. Identity and purpose of visit… …
The doorkeeper’s words, which opened his mouth boldly, lost their power.
As if creating darkness, a man with black hair down to his waist and eyes
because we met
The gatekeeper, who had been looking at his appearance for decades, thought.
‘Damn it. What is it?’
I came through that wilderness, and my clothes were clean without a speck of sand or dust.
But for that matter, there were no horns anywhere on the head.
There is only one small lump on the forehead. If that’s enough, even the lower level demons are in a hurry.
‘But why… …
not being able to feel any energy
Maybe
The gatekeeper, who instinctively sensed the danger, bowed from the waist first.
“You don’t have to tell me anything. Hehe, can I tell the lord that I visited?”
“… … no. I will stay for a while.”
Fluent demonic language flowed from his mouth.
Judging by the accent, he was definitely not a demon living in a rural village like this.
senior working at least centrally
It looked like a demon.
‘also! It might be a nobleman who hid his power.’
He said that sometimes there are people like that.
High-ranking aristocrats deliberately hiding their horns and roaming around the Demon Realm as if playing.
The gatekeeper, feeling relieved that he was glad he didn’t touch it, said politely.
“D-Come in.”
The man nodded once and moved on to the inside of the castle gate.
His gaze scanned all over the street.
I wondered what would be different about being a city of demons.
There was nothing different from where people live than I thought.
However, I could feel the gaze towards myself, as if there were not many outsiders visiting.
‘I need information.’
The man, Seo Jun-ho, thought as he calmly moved his steps.
Currently, there is not much information about the Demon Realm.
The reason why I could speak Makai language and the reason I knew that there was a city here was simple.
It was all thanks to the memories of Mellis, a high-ranking demon I met on the 5.5th floor.
‘But it’s not enough. More information is needed. It’s not old, it’s new.’
Seo Jun-ho chose this city as a place to get more information.
Because that seemed like the easiest way.
‘Was it over there?’
He followed the memories of Melis and headed for the largest and highest mansion in the estate.
“Stop.”
He was stopped by someone who looked more arrogant than the gatekeeper outside the castle.
He asked, looking up and down at Seo Jun-ho.
“It’s a face I haven’t seen before. Are you a noble from another place?”
“no.”
“hmm. Are you a simple visitor? What is the purpose?”
“I came to see the lord of this place.”
The gatekeeper hesitated for a moment at the incomprehensible dignity before asking.
“Are you familiar with the lord?”
“We don’t know each other, but I brought a matter that we have no choice but to meet.”
Seo Jun-ho said shamelessly.
“Tell me that Melis has brought a will left to the lord of this place.”
“Me, from Melis?”
The gatekeeper’s eyes widened.
Melis was a demon who was the pride of this village.
It was because he was a genius who became a high-ranking demon in just a few years and was listed in the 3,000th rank of the Pandemonium.
When he was growing up in this territory, he was also a being whom the lord regarded as his younger brother.
‘But after advancing to the center, he said he hadn’t contacted me and went away like that… …
I never thought I would have left a will for the lord.
The gatekeeper quickly opened the door.
“Hey, come inside first… … No, please come in.”
Upon entering the mansion, Seo Jun-ho was ushered into the drawing room.
Sit there and wait for a while.
A man from Melis’ memories appeared with several of his men.
“Oh, is it you? The one who came to deliver Melis’ will?”
“that’s right.”
“… … ha ha ha.”
It was annoying for him to speak plainly, but the lord made an effort to smile softly and sit in the seat in front of him.
“I heard that Melis was dead.
It’s been a while, but it’s too late. So let me tell you where I am the owner of this territory.”
“good.”
Seo Jun-ho spoke the lines he had prepared in advance.
“He said thank you for taking good care of me when I was young.”
“Heh heh, that guy is too. What have I done… …
“As expected, you are the lord. Since you have such a great personality, Melis must have left a will like this.”
“It is an honor to serve you.”
“Oh, stop it. It’s embarrassing in front of guests.”
Youngju waved his hand and looked at Seo Junho.
“Again, what else did you say?”
Is it because he is the lord of a remote village?
I see greed passing by in his eyes.
He couldn’t hide his anticipation of what Melis, who had risen to a fairly high place, would have left for him.
However, Seo Jun-ho shrugged.
“That’s all.”
“… “what?”
“That’s all the will I left you. Thank you for taking good care of me when I was young. be healthy. This is the end.”
The smile disappeared from the lord’s face.
At the same time, the demons around him who watched him began to radiate hideous demonic energy one by one.
“Whoa.”
The lord, who buried himself deeply in the backrest, sent a bloody look.
“Are you wasting my precious time just to say something like that?”
“Looking at you running in less than a minute, you don’t seem to be very busy.”
“Tsk!”
The lord, who frowned and clicked his tongue, stood up and ordered.
“Cut off their tongues, beat them up and drive them out. I will see all the crazy ones.”
“Melis will be sorry.”
“……what?”
The lord turned around and frowned.
asked
Seo Jun-ho murmured as he drank an astringent tea whose name he did not know.
“I even left a will telling me to stay healthy, but you’re doing something to die for.”
“Crazy man! Even horns grow, but a bug-like bastard dares!”
Seeing the demons rushing along with the lord’s shout, Seo Jun-ho slowly took off the ring on his middle finger.
