Chapter 26

“Uh, um... It’s not going to be a strange request, is it?”

Is it because she just heard that the condition to regress is death? Kang Sejun laughed a little when Seora asked timidly.

“You can refuse. I’m just saying.”

“Well, alright then.”

As long as it did not matter if she refused, she found nothing wrong. It wasn’t like it was going to cost her.

“Okay. Then I’ll take care of it for you. I’ll give you all the horn ore, so rest assured. Remember that you came here only to understand my skills.”

The sharp eyes sank again.

“But I also want to see your skills.”

“Alright, you go on first, then. Since money is at stake, I’ll let it slide just this once.”

“... You are very generous.”

Sejun snorted as if it were ridiculous but stepped forward.

Unlike his sculpture-like face, a hand full of wounds stretched forward. A reddish light with flames appeared in the air. As Sejun flicked his finger down, rain of red fire poured down on the monster.

“You’re really good at controlling the firepower.”

Seora squatted down and started watching the fire.

It looked like it was pouring out recklessly, but it actually penetrated through the body of the rhino while avoiding all the horn ores that would cause Seora’s wrath if they were damaged even a little.

“Certainly, mages specialize in wide-area deals.”

Not much time had passed, and half of the Ore Rhinos were already dead with the burning smell.

“Um, I don’t think I can understand L-class abilities if you kill them at once like this.”

“Don’t make things difficult. Just describe it as overwhelming.”

“So basically you’re saying you’re incredibly strong, right? Fine, that would do for the assessment.”

“Can’t you speak a little nicely?”

“Uh, that’s not something I’d like to hear from Mr. Returnee, who speaks informally on our first meeting.”

“...”

Do you have something to say? Seora chuckled as Kang Sejun’s brows knitted, but eventually closed his mouth.

“Is it my turn now? Actually, I don’t have much to show. It’s only been a few days since I re-awakened to the S-class, so I haven’t figured out all of my skills yet.”

“The Werewolf Dungeon Incident? I heard of it. Did you survive because you made a contract with an Entity?”

“God has done me a miracle. Maybe you didn’t see me in the past because a miracle didn’t happen then.”

“Can you say things like that so casually?”

“What’s wrong with it?”

Seora tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

“In any case, I don’t remember that past life. The important thing is that a miracle has happened in this life, and I am living well. The present is always the most important to me.”

Seora smiled and picked up her gun.

There were a lot of them, and she had to deal with them on her own with a single gun. And unlike the Werewolves, there was a handicap that the horn ore couldn’t be damaged.

What should I do?

Let’s increase our weapons for now.

“Hit, transformation.”

Seora tapped the sniper rifle she was holding. The glowing red Hit separated into two. Dual pistols filled Seora’s hands.

“Your weapon can transform?”

“Returnee-ssi, Mage-ssi. You’re calling me so casually.”

Sejun frowned and thumped on the wall. High up in the cave wall, the soil clumped together, creating a small foothold for one person to climb.

“Oooh. You really can use other attributes as well. Is it because you’re an L-class?”

“Thanks to the title effect. I realized it during my 4th regression.”

“What title?”

“Omniscient Wizard. It’s an L-class title.”

Seora, who climbed up on the scaffolding and aimed at the rhino monster, stared blankly at Sejun at his words. She double-checked his information.

[The Awakened Information]

Name: Kang Sejun (L-class)

Title: Wheel of Eternal Bridle (EX), Omniscient Mage (L-class), Hell’s Flame (S-class), Indomitable Will (A-class), The Loser of Humiliation (A-class)

Characteristic: War Mage—Fire System

Entities in Contract: Hourglass of Destiny

Special Note: Returnee (5th round)

Before, she had been surprised by the word “Returnee,” so she hadn’t had a chance to see anything else.

The Wheel of Eternal Bridle must be related to regression at first glance, and the only L-class title, Omniscient Mage, caught her eye later.

‘Wow, omniscience. Does that mean he can use all the traits? That guy is a scammer too. And what on earth is The Loser of Humiliation?’

It was very different from other titles.

Maybe that has something to do with his return. That’s right, the first time I met him in front of a level 2 dungeon, he had a very angry face.

Seora glanced at Sejun. How did he return? What does he want to achieve as he returns?

‘I can feel it. The feeling telling me that I shouldn’t know.’

The peculiar ominous feeling that could be felt by an office worker, who noticed annoying things that interfere with leaving work on time and vacation, wrapped around his body like a ghost.

‘Yeah, alright. Okay. I should never be associated with Returnee-ssi for a long time. But money is important, so let’s ignore it for now.’

As Seora always said, her safety was the top priority.

“Then let’s start with the horn ore.”

Seora pointed her gun at the few remaining Ore Rhinos. She was on high ground, the best way for a sniper to have a clear view.

She pulled the trigger towards the rhino’s head seen over the scope. Again, one-shot, one-kill. Nothing could sound cooler than the sound of her gun crackling.

***

“Well, L-class-ssi. Then please take care of my money.”

With a happy face, Seora collected all the horn ores. After carefully examining for any scratches, she handed it all over to Kang Sejun.

Kang Sejun put the horn ores into his inventory without saying a word toward Seora, whose face was glowing.

“I will inform you of the negotiation process with Guardian Spirit, so let’s keep in touch.”

The two perfectly exchanged numbers before leaving the gate. Of course, Seora was planning to block Sejun immediately after this transaction was over.

“It’s been a long time. The director will find it strange.”

After putting the jacket, Hit, and gloves in her inventory, she put on her suit again. As her hair was tidy and dusted, the miner who was blinded by money disappeared and the perfect civil servant returned.

Seora went out of the gate and stood in front of Do Junyoung proudly.

“We have completed the Level 3 dungeon raid.”

Seora looked at Do Junyoung while panting as if exhausted. However, the two black eyes sparkled with joy as if they had accomplished the mission given despite the suffering.

Sejun looked at her with a blank face, as if in disbelief.

He was not sure where on earth the person who had laughed like a maniac at the sight of mana stones had disappeared.
