Chapter 24 – #08. Hidden Peace (3).

#08. Hidden Peace.

─ The name of the black magician Pluto will be displayed on this ‘Tower of Struggle’… !
“Ouch!”

A sound rang in my head.
The cool red eyes, what could be seen under the black robe, was definitely the figure of ‘Rich’.
I don’t even want to imagine the pain that squeezed my head at the same time as the terrifying power.

“Hey Jinwoo! It’s okay? You sweat too much… !”

When I came to my senses, I saw Yu Da-hee wiping my face.
I felt very uncomfortable because my whole body was drenched in sweat.

“Here…”

The structure of the room was clearly an inn ‘rest area’.
How are you lying here?

The sunlight shining through the window disrupted my sense of time.
It was obviously a night without any light when I left, but when I closed and opened my eyes, it was broad daylight.

“You. What the hell did you do at night? Why was he lying outside the inn by himself?”
“You were lying outside the inn?”
“Yes! It was time to wake up, but he didn’t come out, so I came to the room to find him. But no matter how many times I called, it didn’t come out? When I opened the room, you weren’t inside. My sister found it underneath. In front of the inn door. What the hell were you doing last night…”

In an instant, Yu Da-hee’s eyes narrowed.
It was a look of suspicion mingled with hatred.

‘Oh, fuck.’

Before the thought circuit exploded into the masked man, it had to throw something that would catch his attention.
What should I say to divert Yoo Da-hee’s attention?

These days, I often thought that I was regretful.
While hunting with Dahee Yoo and Ha Na Kang.
We became close and close at best, but it was very difficult to have to ‘pretend’ to be reset when we die.
How can I do less of that…

“In fact…”
“In fact?”
“I’ve been seeing strange things ever since I was summoned here.”
“Anything strange?”

Dahee Yoo still looked at me with strange eyes as if she was reluctant.
Those suspicious eyes always excite me.
He tried to speak calmly.

“… What should I say? I’m sure it’s the first time I’m seeing it, but I’m familiar… Jung Hyun-jae, Lee Hyeong-woo… Is that a dwarf? A player called Foreng…”
“What, what? How do you know them?”

I didn’t even go near a Korean party this time around.
Dwarf Poleng met Yoo Da-hee only once.
The names of people that only Dahee Yoo should know.
From Yoo Da-hee’s point of view, it would be the ghost’s duty to weep.

“I do not know. So, I can’t sleep well these days. I remember going out for a walk, but after that, when I woke up, it was here.”
“…”

Dahee Yu shook her head with a serious face.
He seemed to have erased his thoughts about the masked man.
It was going the way I intended.

“What the hell am I supposed to do? You’re too used to it…”
“Kim Jinwoo…”

I moistened the water around my eyes.
It’s a bad acting, but it’s perfect for overcoming the current situation.
Seonjupil wins.
It’s not just words.

“I’m resting for a while. I need time to think.”
“Yes. I guess I’m a bit sleepy too. I need to sleep.”

Dahee Yoo left the room.
It won’t take long before you get to the idea that it seems to do something similar to regression.

‘Whoa…’

After sending Dahee Yoo, I checked my information.
An empty information window greeted me with the disappearance of ‘divine power’ and ‘spiritual magic’.
Instead, ‘Dark Magic Lv.2’ was in place.

‘Fuck, that’s fucked up.’

It is not unusual for the divine power and elemental magic to disappear due to black magic.
Because there is such a thing as compatibility.
Since coexistence is impossible, one side must disappear.

In my case, the black magician Pluto left me with no choice but to do ‘black magic’.

“Dark Magic”
A general term for magic that is manifested using the vitality of other living things rather than mana.
As a price is a price, efficiency is efficiency, firepower is firepower, everything is overwhelmingly strong.

In that most of the villains in this novel have skills based on this idea of ​​disregarding life, it will draw a lot of attention in many ways, but it doesn’t seem to have much meaning because of ‘return by death’.

It’s just that the regressor is the best, the best.
With this opportunity, the real half-regressor cosplay seems to be on the right track.
It feels like it flows smoothly.

‘Let’s try it.’

There are many branches of ‘black magic’, but since magic was not taught directly, but learned through skills, you should be able to use all kinds of black magic with a feeling of downgrading.
It’s much weaker than the original ‘black magic’, but it has a wide range of versatility.

What is it?
Mental contamination magic, let’s just taste it.

‘Brain control…’
[Insufficient ‘life force’]
[The caster’s vitality is consumed.]
‘Oh, wait.’

For a moment, consciousness was lost.
It would be more accurate to say that he fainted.

How long has it been

“Dr. Kkuhhhhh.”

I woke up to the sound of my snoring.
The intensity of sunlight was weaker than before.
It is hanging

‘Fuck.’

I immediately went out to the inn alone.
It was hard because I was hungry.

‘No.’

In the hall, only Kang was sitting blankly.
Since I didn’t go hunting because of me, I woke up during the day.
Or maybe you went alone.
Yu Da-hee seemed to be in the room.

“Sister.”
“Uh, Jinwoo… Are you okay?”
“Nothing special. You are so fine.”

I was naturally strong, but I sat across from him.
Hana Kang blushed and worried about my body.
Just thank you

“Then I’m glad… At least tell Dahee that it wasn’t a big deal later. Dahee was very worried.”
“… Are you Dahee?”
“Yes.”

It was a word that Hana Kang brushed it off calmly, but the meaning was completely different.
It was to the point where I couldn’t help but laugh.

“But you know… Jinwoo, did you and Dahee get along well in the original world?”
“Nope? We met here.”
“It’s only been a few days… ? It means you met on the same day as me.”
“Yes?”

Kang Hana muttered with a bitter look in her eyes for some reason.

“Looks very friendly… I envy you.”
“Oh, uh… Just because we’re the same We have no choice but to become friends.”
“Still, I’m envious.”

A drooping strong one.
Only the ferocious female breasts caught my eye.
It looked so pitiful that I couldn’t stay still.

“Then we can become friends. We can get closer from today.”
“Uh… ?”
“Let’s go get something to eat. I’m hungry because I couldn’t even eat one meal.”

I raised the hesitant Kang Hana to her feet.
Hana Kang got up pretending to be invincible and followed me out of the inn.
I had a lot of coins, but there was no reason to eat the inn bread or soup.
Now that I have someone to eat with, I have to go out even more.

Taecho Village is a structure in which a road is opened based on the central Colosseum Square.
An area that is neither wide nor narrow.
Since the number of summoned players is irregular each time, sometimes it is crowded and other times it is quiet.
Moreover, it is broad daylight now.
The sun rises in the middle of the sky
There can be no one.

However, sometimes dark energy hangs over the heads of people walking around.
What the hell is that?
The only thing suspected is ‘black magic’.

“I want to eat something. Sister?”
“Uh, uh… I don’t have anything…”
“Then can I get a rough coat?”

Just then, I saw a little boy selling rice balls and sold them all for 50 coins.
The black aura hanging over the kid was annoying, so I couldn’t just watch it.
It started showing up after I acquired ‘black magic’, so I had to find out.

[Absorb ‘life force’?]

After receiving a bunch of rice balls from the kid, the black energy was attracted to me and connected.
It seemed that the little boy and I were connected by a black thread.

A message asking if you want to absorb life force.
The moment you absorb it, you just become a dick.

PK is not allowed in the safe area, but residents can be harmed, and the moment you harm the residents, you will be pursued by the guards of the first village.
They received correction from ‘God’ and are extremely strong only for players.

I refused to absorb life force and sent the little boy home.

“Go home.”
“Thank you. Handsome brother!”
“I will enjoy it. Good bye.”
“Hi! Sister with big breasts!”

I handed a rice ball to Hana Kang.
Hana Kang was giggling with a reddened face.

“Aren’t you eating?”
“I will eat. I will eat…”

Did the little boy’s words become medicine or poison?
Looking at Kang Ha-na’s reaction, I don’t know at all.

Anyway, as I was walking down the street, I realized that the black aura that I could see everywhere was something like an icon representing life force absorption.
However, there was a certain standard of who had that icon and who didn’t.
I’d like to figure that out too, but I can’t seem to find anything in common.

I took Hana Kang and talked about this and that while heading toward the west gate.
There is a hill near the west gate, and it was a place decorated like a park in Taecho Village.

“Wow. There are places like this.”
“Iknow, right.”

I leaned back on the chairs scattered around and popped the rice ball into my mouth.
I brought Kang Ha-na out once, but when I came out, I was in the ‘Tower of Struggle’, so I didn’t have a fuck.

“Yeah, there it is. It’s Jinwoo.”
“Yes.”

Hana Kang seemed to have held back what she wanted to say, and when her quiet atmosphere was created, she opened her mouth.

“Dahee, don’t you think something is strange? Didn’t I say something strange to you?”
“What are you talking about? I didn’t say anything. I haven’t seen it once except this morning.”

Gossip?
Strong one?

So damn different
What the hell did Dahee Yoo say, why did Hana Kang bring up such a story when the two of them were alone?
I listened in anticipation of what was to be said next.

“You have Dahee… To me, he’s a regressor… He said…”
“… Yes… ?”

No shit
It’s not a confession, why are you talking about regression?
