Chapter 155

# 155

155. In the dark

I crossed my arms.

Even if the first party hadn’t stepped forward, today’s result would have been the same.

It could be the difference between taking less time or longer.

[Was it this strong?]

Isel muttered while looking at the screen.

“what?”

[Oh no... I heard that it’s strong, but it’s strange. He said he struggled when he attacked on another server! They said there were many times when they almost lost!]

There were no such stories.

Isel was in a state of distraught.

“Master, congratulations on your 130th victory.”

“I didn’t do anything, so what?”

“Another incongruous humility.”

[There! You know, the other time when #4 attacked! Level 350! At that time, they went to the point of annihilation...!]

“Never.”

You seem to be misunderstanding something.

The seven-star guy was quite strong.

Because it was a proper 7-star, on a different level from that chunk of meat.

However, after being defeated by Siris, he escaped with only his life.

‘That’s why I’m obsessed with 7 stars.’

It’s still like this.

If I could go up one more grade...

it was a pity I couldn’t.

put that thing aside.

I zoomed in on Aaron fighting. Fighting against two attacks. The form that wielded the spear was quite fierce.

“You’ve gotten a lot stronger.”

“Muden said that. I’ll never see a guy with such little talent.”

“okay?”

“It will take a little longer to get it back to where it came from. Now I’ve just learned the basics.”

I nodded.

Aaron did get stronger. You can feel it even through the screen. If you bring it right away, more than 1 person is possible. It will be of great help to Taoneer, whose power has been halved.

But stupid.

‘You have no choice to descend.’

Muden won’t accept it twice.

You should pull out as many mulberries as possible. I erased Aaron’s screen.

“Master, this battle seems to be over soon, but what are you going to do? Are you going back right away?”

“I think so...”

Yurnet’s expression suddenly darkened.

“It was...but I changed my mind.”

“okay.”

Yurnet, who had brightened again, nodded her head.

I pointed to Nord’s fragmented corpse and said.

“I’m going to stay until the analysis of that guy is over.”

I didn’t expect to get a hint about 7 stars in a place like this.

A heavenly chance. Can’t miss it. There was also time left until the week I promised with the kids in Taone.

“Three days, right? I told my colleagues that I would be back within that time.”

“Enough.”

Yurnet waved her hand away, and her flesh trembled and was sucked into the portal.

I looked back at Ridigion and Nihaku standing behind me.

“You guys did a good job too.”

“Hey, thank you!”

“Thanks to Master.”

The two bowed their heads side by side.

I smiled. To think that there will be a day when I face the character I raised.

After minor post-war processing, I returned to the flagship Brunhild.

I was planning to stay here until the results of the analysis came out.

I took care of Niflheim’s business instead of Yurnet, who was busy with research.

After opening the master control window with the help of Yurnet, it is operated as it is on Earth. Receive reports from adjutants and decide the direction to proceed. It was something I always did.

And during the rainy season, he continued sparring with Lidigion.

“It’s worth it.”

“That’s not what you’re talking about.”

Cool.

I wiped the blood from my mouth.

Lidigion stood in front of him with a stiff expression. What I did was simple. Following Exceed, I hit him with the sword soul. Just like squeezing it once.

“...Still, whoa.”

I continued to speak while holding on to my trembling legs.

“I was pushed out of the spot.”

Lydigion had retreated five steps.

Although he adjusted his stats to a level that matched mine, it was a remarkable achievement.

Although it was a bit sad that he only moved five steps with his powerful special move.

‘It looks like it’s going to end.’

I drank an advanced recovery potion.

The pain gradually subsided. I reduced my strength to a minimum, but I couldn’t withstand the recoil.

He survived because the entire training center was covered with recovery magic. In real life, he would have been knocked out straight away.

There is only one bed in the room.

On the bed...

“What is this video?”

I frowned.

“It’s a video from a hospital. The security is pretty tight, so we had a hard time breaking through.”

“It’s CCTV.”

“Yes. Changshin General Hospital, 3rd basement floor.”

“That man...”

“Seo Tae-joon, 32 years old. About a month ago, he was diagnosed with brain death.”

‘As expected.’

Several things I had only suspected became clear.

I smiled bitterly.

“Where is my body?”

“Sorry. That’s us too...”

“That’s right. I know.”

“...”

“Wait, I want to be alone.”

“Excuse me.”

Yurnet bowed her head to me and left the room.

I put my hand on the table. The man in the video was sleeping as if he were dead.

In fact, it will. If you’re diagnosed with brain death, you’re just a living corpse.

‘Were Kaiser 32 and Nord not long ago the same person?’

It cannot be explained otherwise.

Half hero half master. It was the seven-star condition that Yurnet once explained.

Other information was gradually collected.

‘The more you fall into the game, the closer the master gets to Mobius.’

Therefore, the higher the layer, the higher the concentration of the interference force.

Just like Amkena is doing now. Heroes become stronger and can have more impact on missions.

Book of Reverse Heaven.

The name was nonsense.

‘It goes against the sky (天).’

I see.

The condition to become 7 stars was simple.

‘A combination of a hero and a master.’

In the process, the Master dies.

Just like Seo Tae-joon became a corpse lying on the bed.

‘Ranking 1st to 4th.’

Little information is known about them.

Only the news that he went up to the 90th floor spreads. But not before. At one time, there were a few guys who were treated as celebrities on community sites. Because I got help once when I was a beginner too.

‘I heard he suddenly went diving.’

did you die

Among them, there was a genius I could admire.

If Kaiser 32 was dead, it would mean that Nord was the de facto leader of the Unity Society.

After gaining the power of 7 stars, he pretended to be a master and invaded Niflheim.

‘There’s a cause.’

Even if someone who knows Seo Tae-joon’s situation shows up, it’s enough to pretend that he’s acting autonomously.

The ranker account above me was the same.

I closed my eyes.

His voice slowly rewinded.

The guy who brought me here. The raspy voice was still clear.

“Can’t you? you are special This place is a gift for you. This is my stage prepared for you, the glorious ranker of Pick Me Up.」

‘...’

「Don’t hate me too much. That you were summoned to Mobius was a surprise even to me. It was unexpected. It was a kind of accident.」

‘...’

「You were the only person who truly realized the meaning of this sentence. Out of 100 million Masters, you were the only one.」

‘...’

「But you were different. You were the only master who truly dominated the waiting room.”

Everything.

It was word of mouth.

I wasn’t called by him.

It was just an accident. Its purpose was only one from the beginning.

‘me.’

I was going to kill you

The synthesis target must have been Siris.

The purpose is nothing to ask.

7 stars.

He opened the transcendence advent dungeon on my account.

However, for unknown reasons, the synthesis failed and I survived.

So the guy rolled his head.

to recycle me.

‘It’s very frugal.’

I think you will do well as a housewife.

isn’t it?

‘tell.’

I muttered the name of a guy I knew.
