[Let me know again■──]
An alarm went off, perhaps because it was a gateway guarded by a constellation even though it was rotten.
Even though the voice was crackling and broken, I was very happy to hear the announcement after a long time.
“Did you break it? That stupid bitch. If you were going to touch the gate, it would have been better if you had gone for a full-on slaughter and killed everyone instead of using this half-baked gimmick. You did such a stupid thing knowing it was obvious that bitches couldn’t touch this guy.”
Meanwhile, the Knight of Pleasure still says things that suit his taste.
When I was suddenly thrown out of the gate, I scratched the back of my head and got irritated at the fact that my friend didn’t even worry about me.
“What about other people?”
“Rest assured. I threw it on the 80th floor, gate 〈, 〉. It’s just you and me here.”
I looked around.
Inside the black dome… When you clear the gateway, you receive a reward in a place like this.
Are you saying it will be like that this time too?
“It wasn’t me who cleared the gate this time, but Ian and Soyeon, right?”
“You seem like an idiot. Do I not know that? Think about the situation. Did I really call you here to compensate you?”
Pleasure made an unpleasant gesture by tapping the top of his head.
The guy didn’t hide his bad mood.
“Is it because our kids cleared the gate easily?”
“Nothing. I was expecting it. It’s a stupid gimmick where if women go against your wishes even just a little, they immediately become [Poor wives]. Normally, it’s not a gateway that can be cleared so easily.”
That statement is reasonable.
There is no doubt that Ian and Soyeon, who took over this gateway so easily, are a strange type.
“No matter how much a man and woman love each other, if one side forces their pride and belittles their partner, there will be a backlash. It’s questionable whether a relationship where one side unilaterally ignores the other can even be called partners in the first place. But somehow, that narrow-eyed woman is able to overcome this wall. “It was perfect, except for the fact that I prioritized my own greed at the end.”
Even that wasn’t a mistake that greatly affected the strategy.
At the end, he couldn’t control his greed and got excited, and all he did was act like a greedy person.
“Are you saying that the fact that Soyeon wasn’t angry at all was unexpected from your perspective?”
“Yes. I guess the idiot who prepared the gimmick is the same way. It’s a gimmick that he arranged so that he wouldn’t be able to tolerate it and would make a mistake, but it’s ridiculous that it ended up like this.”
Ha-!
Pleasure laughed loudly and scratched his tail, saying that this kind of story was good.
“It’s a problem because amateurs who only know the theory are put into field work. I thought this would be fun, but in reality, it’s such a mess. It’s not fun and doesn’t release dopamine.”
“Thanks to you, I cleared it easily.”
“Tch.”
He kicked stones on the floor and got irritated.
He didn’t seem angry at me about that topic.
“Really, I don’t like this or that. This isn’t our tower. With the new goddamn tower owner and Freya getting involved, this and that started to become a mess.”
Inside this black dome, no stories leak out.
So, the constellations tend to reveal their true feelings here, and this was no different for the Knight of Pleasure.
“The gateway downstairs is managed by Freya’s knights, and I admit that. There is a lot of floating population there and a lot of challengers, so we idiots couldn’t stand it and got lazy, so we replaced them with honest guys… I admit that much. But our idiot goddess is the commander-in-chief. I got so mad. Is that even possible for God to do this to humans?”
“Uh, uh…”
“But is the new human doing a good job? That’s not true. Look, this is the problem. This is the result of looking down on the other women, believing that your group would definitely make a mistake.”
He mumbles curses as if he has accumulated a lot, but his appearance is not much different from the constellations I used to know.
Even though it was said to be a hostile faction, it actually had a similar flavor to the Knights of Pure Love faction.
“When you say that, don’t you think you’re truly loyal to Jihyun?”
“Huh, don’t ask the obvious. Even though this place is rotten, it is a knight who has served the same goddess for over thousands of years. Although it is nothing more than a gathering place for soldiers with crooked personalities like the castle wall inside, we also have our own pride.”
Who would have thought that such words and actions would speak of the pride of a knight…
“Are you surprised that I say this?”
I even knew what he was thinking right away.
Was it obvious like that?
“I know what kind of shit you’re thinking. It’s funny even for a guy like me to talk about a knight’s pride. Yes, our pride is no different from the toilet paper hanging in the toilet. But you’re such a waste of toilet paper. Even if you call it pride, there is only one person in this world who can wipe their butt with it.”
“… Aphrodite?”
“That’s right! Since we are regular soldiers, our leader should be just as much of an asshole! And Aphrodite was a wonderful and asshole-like goddess that we deserve to serve!!”
I can’t tell if it’s an insult or a compliment.
However, if you look at the affection expressed in every word of speech, the loyalty itself is real.
“Wait a minute. Then you also want to save the goddess, right?”
When I asked again if our goals were the same, the pleasure ran rampant.
“That’s right, you stupid bastard! So, from the moment you arrived, you’ve been scratching your face and provoking me, telling me everything you need to know!?”
“Huh?”
When I think about it again, it was strange.
You answered our questions clearly and clearly even before entering the gate, right?
He told me what kind of gate it was before the renovation, how Jihyun touched it, and even kindly advised my kids not to attack me first.
… This bastard, you pretended not to do anything and gave me a hint.
“Tsk! I warned you to be careful, but like an idiot, you hit the first strike with petrification! It’s too bad it doesn’t end there. If you made a mistake, you would have been wiped out!”
Are you talking when I scream for water…
“For all that, the attitude was that it was a shame that the gate was broken.”
“You are the first hunter to come here, and since I am also a constellation, I would be upset if the gate I protect is broken.”
Are you building your pride with something like that?
It’s a story I don’t know even if I hear it.
However, seeing as they talk like this even while setting up a barrier, it is clear that they are not enemies.
“If that’s what you really think, then there’s no need to hide and talk about it like this. Jihyun will be caught by Sunae, and Olivia will be waiting on the 90th floor, so no one will be able to disturb her, right?”
“Like Sunae said, you really don’t know anything. Or did you just cum and not notice it?”
… This guy?
“As you said, let’s say we excluded those two. Then what do you think I’m afraid of?”
I brought my eyebrows together.
If you say so, there is only one answer.
“Freyja?”
“Okay.”
When I told him the name of the shadow that I had suspected since the 61st floor, Pleasure smiled with satisfaction.
“One day, Sun-ae said that if Top was left alone like this, there would be chaos. I scoffed at first. But what the fuck is this? Is Top really upset?”
“Huh, you didn’t act after hearing Sunae’s situation?”
“It can’t be helped. Sunae and I are from different factions, but there are more than one soft-spoken guy here, and it must have been a big gamble for him just to get me involved in this.”
So, she said that she only knew a fragment of the story.
“I heard a glimpse of Sunae’s situation after the new tower owner subdued Aphrodite. Most of us were subordinate to the tower system〈Archive〉, so we could not resist, but since that was a constellation sent from outside, most of us were able to resist. “
-At least at first glance.
“But what’s the point? If you don’t know anything, then I don’t know anything either.”
“When I buy a game, I first get the save file. I’m a bad guy, but you’re just as formidable compared to him.”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about?”
“I’m telling you not to fuss like a premature ejaculator. Let’s get to the point now.”
Then he put his hand on the helmet and opened the lid.
He was shocked by the sudden eccentricity, but fortunately nothing happened.
“There’s nothing inside, right?”
“Yes. Constellations are basically like this. No matter how you become a constellation, over time, you will abandon your original body and be reborn as a new being like this.”
As he said, there is nothing inside the black armor.
Like a Dullahan, black smoke was coming out instead of a face, so it was pretty cool.
‘Lose your body and be reborn…’
… Huh?
“Wait a minute, what is that, throwing away your body when you become a constellation?”
“Okay.”
“Then what is Sunae?”
“That’s what’s unique about him. Normally, when he throws away his memories and memories, his body also disappears, but the fact that they still remain means that there’s something he couldn’t throw away.”
Then, he took out a glowing sphere from inside the armor, with black smoke billowing out.
It looks a lot like the Knight of the Lily, but is a little bigger and rounder, and there are [Burns] In between the flashing white light.
“Do you know what this is?”
I shook my head at the question of pleasure.
There is no way to know.
But it was a light that felt very friendly.
“This is his soul that the knight of pure love left to you.”
….
… Huh?
“I told you to hand me this if you conquered the 80th floor.”
Then I pushed the sphere of light, and it floated through the air and came towards me.
Sure enough, when I held out my palm as if scooping up water, the ‘burned soul’ climbed onto my palm as if it had been waiting.
“If you absorb that, you will be able to see and feel what he has been through and figure out what his plan is.”
‘This is the path that Soon-ae has walked so far…’ .’
Heavy air enveloped my entire body.
Will I be standing at the end of the road that Sunae paved? .
The chance to find out everything I was so curious about has arrived.
“But why is it only me? Can’t I watch it with other people?”
I thought I would be able to do the same this time, just as I had stolen other people’s dark stories with Pierce 〈 terminal 〉, but Pleasure twirled the helmet in his hand and showed his intention to refuse.
“He said, ‘I told you never to show it to other people, especially your women.'”
Is this a dangerous memory for our group to see?
Another Hong Chang-gi with the same face as me said that.
I vaguely felt in my heart what it meant and made up my mind.
“I understand.”
Let’s agree without any hesitation and try to accept Sunae’s soul…
“That’s right. There’s also a message he left for you.”
The knight of pleasure said.
“I ask you, my only comrade and friend, not to lose yourself.”
What does that mean?
Did the Knight of Pleasure understand what he said?
“Even if you stare at me like that, I don’t know. Anyway, I’ve done everything, so now it’s your turn.”
I placed my palms on my chest, believing that if I looked into my memories, I would be able to find out what he meant when he said that.
「─────!!!!」
‘Keuhuuuk!?’
It resonated with the burnt pure white soul and the last piercing I kept and was absorbed.
Without any resistance, as if it had been a part of my body from the beginning.
‘… Damn it!’
After that, my consciousness slowly subsided.
The memories of the man once called ‘Hong Chang-gi’ were slowly unravelled.
