Chapter 284 – Desire (7)
Assuming 1 and showing 2, the answer is 3.
So if you show a 4, you get a 5, and if you show a 6, you get a 7.
I finally pulled out a 9 and heard it.
“What can you do, son?”
“…”
Breaking the set expected answers from 1 to 10, the answer of 11, beyond the scope of thought, came back.
If it’s magic, I know it to some extent.
Even that there is a magic called Fire Mine and that it is the height of inefficiency.
But that ineffective magic is holding me tight.
‘Dozens… , No, hundreds.’
You can see it even if you can’t see it.
An intense sense of incongruity overwhelms the whole body, speaking instead of the eyes.
This is already the opponent’s territory.
Pillars, walls, floors, even the top of the tracks.
The opponent diligently laid mines without missing a single spot.
‘How?’
I know that time has been given.
When I lost sight of Han Joo-yeon for a moment.
And when we had a short talk.
‘Are you saying you can lay hundreds of mines with just that?’
I knew that fast casting speed was one of Dojin Kim’s strengths, but isn’t this a level far beyond the realm of speed?
Admiration and admiration.
The value assigned to Kim Do-jin soars.
A valuable thing you don’t want to hand over to anyone.
I, and my organization, adhere to only one policy when dealing with these things.
‘Take it as ours or kill it.’
In order to appease, it is necessary to readjust the tilted relationship.
There can be no credibility in words spoken in a crisis situation.
Kim Do-jin, who is supported by S-class buffers, is clearly above A-class.
K needed to be prepared to take down him.
Slightly bowing his head, what came into his field of vision was the black ring he was wearing on his left index finger.
It was a kind of restraint.
Because I wanted to avoid being suspicious with more power than necessary.
The way to release the restraint is simple.
After shouting the set starter word.
“Clear.”
All you have to do is remove the ring on your index finger…
“Hey.”
“… ?”
Just as he was about to take out the ring, a word from Kim Do-jin interrupted him and stopped him.
“Because if we go further from here, one of you or I will have to die?”
“So.”
“Why don’t we trade in moderation and break it off today?”
K tilted his head at the proposal handed over with a smirk.
‘Why?’
Clearly, the opponent is dominating the situation.
It would be a different story if he took out the ring, but he probably didn’t know that fact yet, so why did he choose to back down rather than solidify his victory in an advantageous situation?
Even in this situation, what the hell is the deal.
Curious, he stopped removing the ring and asked him.
“Do you have anything to trade in this situation?”
What the heck do you want to trade?
Then Kim Do-jin smiled and took out one of her black marbles.
An item he acquired at the place where he killed the ‘Sword Demon who betrayed mankind’.
“It is a marble that contains the karma that the Sword Demon has accumulated throughout his life. If you’re a person like me, your head is something you’d love to get your hands on.”
I definitely remember what my boss said.
It takes an enormous amount of karma to develop a characteristic.
Then that’s one of the ways to quickly build up the karma that the boss has been looking for so long.
Dojin Kim continued.
“Stop fighting, buy this and go home.”
Surely.
It was a tempting proposition.
* * *
K accepted my offer.
I like this one.
He offered a deal, but he didn’t show off his bluff while talking nonsense about killing him and stealing it.
If that was the case, I was going to just screw it up with a deal or something, but I’m glad I did.
“First, let’s finish clearing the dungeon.”
A dungeon attack only ends when you defeat the boss monster.
Fortunately, they had finished locating the boss.
Wow…
Thousands of zombies gathered together, finished hunting the boss monster and acquired rewards, and finally the time to part ways came.
“… I will discuss with the boss, set a price, and then contact you.”
“I know that if it takes too long, I’ll just eat it.”
“…”
Moderately, when I was winning, the fight stopped at an amazing timing.
Originally, negotiations work well only when they are equal or superior to them.
One more thing here.
You have to make sure your opponent doesn’t go back empty-handed.
I’m going back, so I don’t feel uncomfortable because there’s nothing in my hand.
So what I took out was the jewel from the sword demon.
Originally, I was going to swallow it, but I just couldn’t.
It’s not that I’m afraid of accumulating bad karma, but when I try to build up other people’s bad karma, not mine, my body reacts strongly with rejection.
“Then see you next time.”
That guy is great too.
How can you politely say hello and turn around after a fight like that?
Oh, I forgot to ask one question.
“I have a question.”
The belated question made him stop in his tracks.
“Your organization. What do you want?”
“Are you saying what you want?”
The guy laughs
He approached slowly, with a smile full of malice that clearly revealed his evil intentions, completely different from his previous smile.
“Could you lend me your ears for a second?”
“Ah.”
I kind of hate that.
A man’s breath and curiosity.
Unfortunately, the latter won out.
As I put my ear as carefully as possible, he whispered to me in a low voice.
“A world where everyone lives within their means. That is the aspiration of our organization.”
What do you mean, that
Are you saying that since I can’t be treated right now, I’m going to turn it over and be treated myself?
As we frowned at their vague wishes, the guy continued talking with a smile.
“You will find it difficult to understand right now. But… , You too will come to know after living in this world for a long time.”
“Haha.”
Are you saying that you are wrinkled in front of the chrysalis after seeing this?
“I will eagerly wait for that time to come. Enough then.”
After sending all the members of the Zodiac Guild, including K, Juyeon, who had been silently by my side, spoke to me.
“Dojin-ah, I have a question.”
“Yes, sister.”
Has it come
“Why did you stop fighting when you had the advantage? I think I would have won if I had reached the end… , No?”
This is a different question than I expected.
Naturally, I thought you were going to ask about ‘those with qualities’.
Anyway, to answer her question…
“I probably won. It would have taken a little longer.”
He must have had a way to overcome the crisis at the time.
Even though he was in a big crisis, he was calmer than he thought.
Such composure is hard to explain unless you have the confidence that you can get out of a crisis at any time.
Of course, even if he took out his trump card, there would be little chance of me losing.
“Because I also had an older sister.”
To me, my older sister is an S-class healer and buffer… , No, because there was also a lead role.
… But since she keeps saying noona, she’s trying to stick to her mouth.
“Hey…”
No, don’t like it
I’m not talking about you as a woman, but as a fighting force.
“Then why did you stop?”
Why did you stop
The reason was simple.
“Isn’t it a waste to see the end here?”
“Such a waste… ?”
“What would I do if I caught a guy who was just a tail?”
K is just the tail.
No, it seems to be a slightly more important position than the tail, but anyway.
“You have to hit it in the head to make sure you catch it.”
I sent him to catch his head.
Zodiac has just used K to become a coil in the sun.
But what if you suddenly attack and destroy them?
Perhaps all information related to it will be discarded and disappear for a while.
If that happens, the trouble is on my side.
Unlike me, who has a lot of information here and there, the only way to know about him is K.
Juyeon, who perfectly understood what I was saying, nodded as if she understood.
“Yes… , So you mean you sent it while looking into the future?”
“Exactly.”
After all, our main character is smart.
“Then… , For now, this problem ends here.”
“It is, but.”
Something is a little strange
I heard a lot of important things from the side, but why is he so calm?
“… Don’t you have any questions about me? It seems like a lot.”
“Yes, a lot.”
Jooyeon smiled and answered that.
“But I won’t ask until you tell me.”
That’s something to be thankful for…
“Why?”
I wonder why.
Then he smiled meaningfully and told me why.
“Yeah… , It won’t affect me whether I hear your secret or not.”
“What is that…”
“Therefore.”
The guy who came up with a fresh step and brought his face closer.
Even after moving for quite a long time, it still exudes a fragrant body odor and continues to speak.
“I mean, no matter what secrets you hold, it’s not going to change my mind.”
For a while, I lost my words.
The guy adds a word.
“Let me know when you are ready to speak. I’ll wait until then.”
A tone of deep affection.
In addition to that, trust is added, and the emotions that have become even heavier run towards this side at a furious speed.
“Just know that you are always on Do-jin’s side.”
Quaang!
Was hit
