Chapter 59

If the spirits who witnessed that scene were asked for their impressions, they would all say the same thing.

“It’s incomprehensible.”

That was the only way they could put it.

They had no choice but to be stunned.

What they saw was a pure white sword that suddenly turned into a white spear and stabbed Kim Hanjung.

“Wow, crazy.”

“Did that sword just turn into a spear?”

“Where did he get that weapon?”

The audience gasped in astonishment. There were weapons that could change their shape in this mixed world, but they were very rare and valuable.

And yet, Yu-hyun, who was still a regular teller, had one.

The spirits couldn’t help but be amazed.

“Could it be that he got some support from someone?”

“Huh?”

“You know, I heard that both Eden and Pandemonium are interested in his library.”

“Huh. Is that true?”

“I don’t know for sure, because I haven’t seen it myself. But I heard rumors. That Deep Dark and even Michael showed up there.”

The number of spirits gathered in the audience had already far exceeded 3,000.

They were more than the maximum viewers of Yu-hyun’s library.

They were curious about the rare fight that happened after a long time.

They had only heard faint rumors about Yu-hyun, but they hadn’t checked his library yet.

And among them, the news about Yu-hyun’s library spread one by one.

‘It has a magic that captivates the audience.’

Satan, who was watching the scene with a sidelong glance, crossed his arms and nodded slightly.

He had noticed his value early and tried to mark him first, but it was thwarted by his desperate refusal.

How regrettable that was.

Even though he deliberately acted as if he didn’t care, he even attracted Eden’s attention.

‘He’s a very attractive teller.’

He couldn’t afford to be greedy about monopolizing him anymore, but that made Satan burn even more.

He was a spirit who symbolized corruption, and his only hobby was that.

‘But Deep Dark? Don’t tell me they’re talking about me?’

Satan frowned when he realized why his nickname was so popular among the spirits.

‘Damn it! What the hell is going on here!’

Kim Hanjung’s crumpled face didn’t relax. His best option was to desperately avoid the spear tip that was flying towards him.

He flinched at the slight pain in his forehead and tried to block it with his sword, but the spear tip smoothly changed direction in midair and pierced his thigh.

Pssst!

He barely reacted and avoided it, but he couldn’t do it perfectly and got a wound on his thigh.

Kim Hanjung stepped back and clenched his teeth with narrowed eyes.

‘How did the sword turn into a spear so quickly? And what kind of spear technique is that?’

Kim Hanjung thought Yu-hyun was a swordsman because he had a sword at first. But he had to change his mind when he saw him use spear techniques freely.

‘Never mind the shape-changing weapon, but pretending to be a swordsman to catch me off guard. This bastard. He’s so arrogant for a teller.’

Kim Hanjung’s eyes reddened with rage.

He thought Yu-hyun had tricked and mocked him, and he couldn’t contain his murderous intent.

But he couldn’t rush in recklessly either, because Yu-hyun’s attack just now was quite fierce.

‘But I’ve figured out his spear range by now. And even how he fights.’

The important thing in a fight is to analyze your opponent.

Kim Hanjung may have focused on assassination, but he didn’t neglect other aspects of combat.

That was something only third-rate people did.

He considered himself to be first-rate.

He had been quietly growing with the backing of a huge department, and he finally got a chance to shine here. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

He didn’t intend to take it lightly.

‘Yeah. You’re not an ordinary teller either. So you better take this seriously too.’

Yu-hyun didn’t know Kim Hanjung’s thoughts, and he was preparing for his next move with a loose grip on his spear.

One of his legs moved forward, and his right hand holding the spear pulled back.

Kim Hanjung immediately recognized that it was a stance for thrusting and prepared himself accordingly.

‘You idiot. Do you think you can reach me from that distance?’

Kim Hanjung was standing at a spot where Yu-hyun’s spear tip barely missed him.

Even if he stretched his arm and thrust his spear, it wouldn’t hit him.

And yet he was trying to thrust his spear, which meant he didn’t have much sense of combat.

‘He’s just a rookie who hasn’t had much experience in fighting, even if he’s a fighting teller.’

He was thinking of going under his spear and stabbing his thighs with his two daggers.

The spirits who watched the scene from the audience exclaimed.

“How can this be? A weapon that changes so freely!”

“No, more than that, how can he handle all those shapes?”

“Is he really a teller?”

On the contrary, the spirits who knew about Yu-hyun raised their hands and cheered.

“Damn! I knew it!”

“Sword master is good, but our library master is the best!”

“Never underestimate tellers again!”

Kang Hyerim, who watched the scene from the waiting room, didn’t know what to do with her confusion.

“Huh? Huh?”

Her anxiety had become reality.

The collector sent by the other side, Kim Hanjung’s skill was threatening enough to make her nervous.

But as soon as Yu-hyun collided with him, the alarm in her head that made her anxious had long disappeared.

She should have felt guilty for being wrong, but Kang Hyerim couldn’t even think of that.

It was because of Yu-hyun’s way of fighting.

The white lotus that changed freely and attacked unpredictably was as dazzling as a dance and as practical as a sword master’s dream.

She just lost her mind and couldn’t take her eyes off his fight.

“Aaargh! Damn it!”

Kim Hanjung, who was slammed to the ground, screamed like a scream and got up from his seat.

His shoulders were heaving from his breath, and his body was covered with dust and wounds.

But the wound to his pride was too big.

-Huh? Huh? Mr. Hanjung. What are you doing right now?

“Hey, hey! What are you doing!”

The doubtful voice of Agael, who was watching the scene, and the voice of Jinpung, who shouted in panic from outside the stage, hit his back.

Jinpung was of course, but Agael also didn’t understand what was going on.

“Shut up! I’ll handle it myself!”

Kim Hanjung had no choice but to fight with all his might.

He had to somehow defeat Yu-hyun in front of him, to recover his crushed pride.

Yu-hyun sensed Kim Hanjung’s firm will and smiled faintly as he turned the white lotus back into a sword.

“Why. Are you finally getting serious?”

“...You should be praised for pushing me this far. But you were too careless. You should have finished me off when you had the chance.”

Kim Hanjung’s skin started to turn red.

The muscles in his hands holding the daggers twitched like worms, and red letters like blood rose on his skin.

Agael, who was watching the scene from the manager’s room, widened his eyes.

‘Hmm. He’s fully unlocking his trait here. I didn’t expect him to do that against a regular teller, but it’s over now that he’s done it.’

Of course, he was the one who made Kim Hanjung like that.

He gave him stories optimized for killing and fighting with the support of the department, and taught him how to use points.

He had raised him as a secret weapon, and it would be troublesome if he didn’t pay back his investment.

“What’s going on? The atmosphere is not good.”

“That guy with the daggers. What is he planning to do?”

Kim Hanjung’s muscles made creaking noises. The excessive [Power of Story] was causing an overload in his body. He felt pain all over his body, but he couldn’t help smiling with joy.

“I won’t let you go now!”

Clang!

Kim Hanjung kicked the ground and the pavement blocks shattered and scattered.

Soon, his figure blurred and disappeared.

Then, red afterimages appeared in the air, tracing his movements.

Red lines like spider webs were drawn around Yu-hyun.

They were all Kim Hanjung’s tracks.

The spirits who saw that were surprised.

How could a collector who moved like that be unknown until now?

And they had another thought.

Maybe a new star would rise here.

“Hahaha! Can you even catch my movements? It’s too late to regret now!”

Yu-hyun couldn’t follow him with his eyes at such an incredible speed, but he muttered quietly as he stood still.

“That’s right.”

Yu-hyun stepped back and dodged the dagger aiming for his neck lightly.

At the same time, he grabbed Kim Hanjung’s wrist and slammed him to the ground with force.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

Kim Hanjung spat out his breath as he felt a tremendous pain in his back, but he couldn’t understand why he was lying down like this.

“If I knew it would be this boring, I would have ended it sooner.”

Yu-hyun looked down at Kim Hanjung with a calm voice that seemed to find this situation too dull.
