Chapter 80 – Betrayal (4)
She thought she had heard wrong. Hanyoung asked again.
“…… What?”
“I found the ruler on the 30th floor this time. I’m thinking of raiding If you could help me…….”
After that, Do-jin muttered something, but Han-young did not hear it. The beeping of the tinnitus paralyzed his hearing her.
The tinnitus that seemed like her ears would explode made her head ache. However, Hanyoung’s heart was so complicated that he couldn’t afford to care about her at all.
‘Already, up to the 30th floor?’
He carefully looked at Dojin. When he was in school, he was a guy who didn’t really care.
He was an ass who didn’t usually communicate well with others, but at the same time, he was a bomb-like existence that gave off a dangerous smell.
Iljin was more important to smell that smell than one’s own powerlessness. He said It is not the strong who survive, it is the survivor who is strong. In that sense, Hanyoung was a very strong Iljin who had a knack for finding weaker children than me.
However, that idea collapsed when there was friction with the kids from other schools. When there was friction with other school children, what was needed above all else was physical strength.
Hanyoung always had a complex about his lack of physical strength his, so he obtained a cheat ability called superpower in another world.
Of course, the other children gained powerful abilities as well, so I couldn’t just mess around with them, but…….
But what is certain is that Do-jin was below him.
‘How could this idiot who didn’t even know how to level up and was fidgeting on the 1st and 2nd floors…….’
Complex. Emotions with such a name began to well up. The reason he gave Do-jin proud advice and accepted his request was on the 10th floor because he thought he was superior to him.
What if it turns out he wasn’t? He didn’t even want to imagine.
He carefully glered at Dojin. His eyes didn’t change much from when he had just landed in another world.
Confidence that you can do anything. He knew very well that it came from overwhelming force. Because he himself was like that too.
It just collapsed at the 25th floor wall.
“…… What floor are you up to now?”
“Me? It’s still on the 30th floor. It was far away What floor are you on? Thinking of what went ahead of us… The 40th floor by now?”
“…… Fifth floor.”
“Fifth floor? The 45th floor?”
“…… No.”
“Then is it the 35th floor?”
“…… Uh.”
In the end, Hanyoung spits out a lie. That saved his petty pride.
Dojin sincerely admired and saw him again. As far as he knows, Hanyoung doesn’t throw parties, and he doesn’t particularly practice martial arts.
Even so, it’s the 35th floor… The fact that he rose to that level only with the ability to increase his strength meant that he had something special.
Whether it’s talent or hidden hard work.
“Good. Then can you help me this time?”
“…… Yes, I will help you later, so stop going back today.”
“Uh… You must have come to me when things are bad. Yeah, I’m sorry.”
Dojin said that and left the mansion. At the same time as he left the mansion, the bullies above came down looking at Hanyoung.
“Uh, huh? Han Young-ah, are you here?”
“…… Door, who opened it?”
“Yes? Door? Yea we……”
“Are you crazy?”
Life dwells in Hanyoung’s eyes. He wanted to pour out his heart his right now. Whoever it is….
* * *
‘That’s great…… The 35th floor.’
As I left Hanyoung’s mansion, I remembered what he had said. Dojin is an unexplored land that has not yet been climbed.
The monsters on the 35th floor were on the same level as the monsters that Dojin had seen at the festival, such as the ogre or the salamander.
Monsters who smash reason and possess majesty that can only appear in myths. At that point, it was a very difficult existence to deal with simply with supernatural power.
Monster strength is a basic ability that monsters of that class have.
In addition, no matter how much human-sized Hanyoung exerts his strength, he cannot be stronger than monsters weighing over a hundred times his own weight.
‘It’s just the strength… That’s great.’
Do-jin was feeling the burden of going up with only his swordsmanship. It was for that reason that he ordered the sword from Rastina.
Holding a magic sword, strengthening abilities by forming relationships with girls, and surpassing physical limitations through leveling up…….
Even after going through all these processes, the monster was still a monster that could take its life away.
“Isn’t this, if you fight Hanyoung, you lose?”
A vague thought comes to mind.
Interpersonal warfare was his specialty, but even that would not work against opponents with a certain level difference.
‘I can’t do this.’
My heart is pounding. After learning that Hanyeong is stronger than she is, her sense of selflessness her boils over and she cannot stand still.
Eventually, his steps toward home changed their direction to the dungeon. Even though it was a weekend, the front of the dungeon was still crowded.
There are so many adventurers that it is impossible to include at a glance, and even merchants who do business with equipment, meals, and supplies to sell to such adventurers.
It wasn’t like this before. The dungeon has undergone changes, and those changes have revitalized the city.
Slightly moved by the fact that it was thanks to him, he entered the dungeon. He went inside without having to stand in line and went straight to the 11th floor.
Darkness came immediately. I accepted him as he was without resisting it.
I felt as if I could hear the cries of the orcs from beyond the blackout, which was familiar to me now, and which must have swallowed up everything, including light and noise.
‘It must be an illusion.’
But with a sword The sword naturally blocked the orc’s sword. When Do-jin stopped moving in surprise at the fact, the orc swung his sword again.
Chaeeng, this time, sparks flew and the blackout was briefly removed. So even the sound of swords clashing against each other could be heard. Only then did Dojin realize why he could hear the sound in the blackout.
‘Yamma Sword (斬魔劍)…….’
A sword that cuts dry. It cuts everything made of magic. A famous sword that was said to be able to cut through not only monsters, but also magic if done well.
And blackout was a supernatural phenomenon that was physically impossible. Of course, magic power is used. That meant that it could be cut with a yam sword.
‘Did the blackout come off even while it was in the scabbard?’
I didn’t know the details. What is certain is that there is a way to use sound and a certain amount of sight in the blackout.
And, for a good prosecutor, that tiny difference could have big consequences.
Chow-!
Do-jin, who had already reached level 3, had no reason to struggle against monsters of this level. He cut down the orc in an instant and made his way upstairs.
Up, up, up more. As we climbed up, monsters that delivered fatal blows in the dark began to appear one by one.
But his intuition he caught every danger. The blackout that blocked his intuition his disappeared, and his sharp intuition his grasped the approach of the enemy.
I can feel the power of the sword growing the more I cut it. The blackout is starting to come off more and more. In the end, when Do-jin stepped onto the 25th floor, there was no blackout around him.
Suddenly, the blackout disappears, and the monster approaching, unaware of his existence his, discovers Do-jin and is shocked. The orc warrior quickly threw his sword at Dojin, who suddenly appeared.
However, there was no blackout curtain that could serve as the monster’s eyes and ears. An extreme situation in which both Dojin and monsters lose sight and fight only by relying on intuition and experience.
‘I think I understand.’
In such an extreme situation, Dojin rather closed his eyes. He covered his ears his. I even immersed myself in it. Unlike the world full of darkness, the inside was filled with pure white light.
In a pure white space, first of all, a picture of yourself is drawn. He is 185 tall, weighs 73, has arm length and leg length, head size and torso size.
Dojin was able to see his own self in third person. Then he drew the figure of his opponent. He drew a picture of the dungeon. Black and white lines are drawn, revealing the appearance of an orc.
It was a space without a ray of light, but you could tell what the orc’s face looked like, what his genitals were like, and what kind of swordsmanship he used.
‘I can feel it.’
Myeonggyeongsu (明鏡止水). The spirit in extreme immersion went beyond observing the world and created a new world.
“Chwiyiyiik!”
The orc hisses and lunges. That figure was drawn even before the orc moved. He approaches the orc taking a set move, swinging his sword in perfect trajectory.
The orc didn’t even notice what I was doing and died as it was. Monsters in the dungeon turn into manastones when their lives run out, so Dojin picked up the manastone before the orc dropped it to the floor and opened his eyes.
The reality was still dark.
However, his image portrayed this place more clearly than anything else.
* * *
Enlightenment is said to be bittersweet, so it is sweet when eaten and bitter when recalled.
What do you mean…….
“Ouch!”
Do-jin collapsed after being hit by Eun-ha’s kick that hit his head. After turning 1800° in her air, she loaded all that rotational power and her weight into one point, and her kick her was instantaneous but powerful enough to blow Dojin’s consciousness away.
“Do, Dojin!”
Eun-ha, who did not think he would be able to avoid it, was startled and ran and put his head on her lap and began to fidget.
After a while, Do-jin opened his eyes and went back and forth between heaven and hell, feeling soft flesh and pain in his head.
“…… Here is.”
“Are you awake, Dojin-ah? Can you see how many of these there are?”
“Galaxy…?”
Dojin blinked her eyes and looked around. Then she opened her eyes wide and asked.
“Where are you… ? And why are you here…?”
“Hey, don’t you remember?”
“…… Yes.”
“Uh, what should I do-!?”
It was a big deal. Eun-ha was restless and began to struggle. Do-jin was lying on my lap, so she couldn’t go to call A-ram…….
Dojini smiled at her as she watched her struggling. She then covered her forehead with one of her hands to hide her expression.
However, even though she hid her expression her, she could n’t hide the fact that her body her was trembling from the cooing. Eun-ha saw Do-jin wriggling and realized that he was playing a joke.
“…… Dojin?”
“—Puhaha, sorry sorry, Eunha’s reaction was so good…….”
“…… Don’t do that in the future.”
“Okay, sorry.”
Eunha puffed out her cheeks like her own child and turned her head. She must have acted instinctively, she thought it was like a hamster, and she couldn’t help laughing.
