Chapter 70 – Lines Are Visible

#070.

“Then where are we going now?”
“There is an inn I know, so let’s stay there today and go to the mercenary guild tomorrow.”
“All right.”

It’s already quite late, and Mark, who plays the coachman, must be quite tired.

The carriage pulled into the main street, and various people were seen hurrying along.

Although rare, there were also non-human races.

Small but sturdy dwarves and long, slender elves.

He looked at the elves among them and nodded.

‘Hmm… Elves have small breasts.’

Reina is a high elf, so her breasts must have been large.

As a body whose goal is a 10-person harem, Elf Nunna cannot give up.

‘I wish I could see Raina again…’

At that time, I couldn’t afford it, and I broke up because I was weak, but if we meet again later, it will be different.

Hehe~ Rai. Are elves that pretty?”
“Uh, yes?”

Lina, who came close to me, followed my gaze and looked at the elves, and she smiled.

“I want you to keep staring at me.”
“Well, it is pretty. But it’s not my taste.”
“Okay? That’s interesting. It was definitely less than that.”

As I stared at her sudden words, Lina frowned and said,

“It seems that the number of elves has greatly decreased in the past year. To be precise, it seems that elves who returned to the elven kingdom once did not come out again.”
“Is it so?”
“Huh. Merchants have been complaining lately that trade with the elves has been cut off.”

It must have been a serious problem in the elven kingdom.

It is to the extent that even normal trade is suddenly cut off.

The conversation was cut off with that, and as I looked around the downtown area, the carriage stopped.

“Arrived.”
“Lie. How about a cold beer on the first floor? Huh?”
“That’s good!”

As I happily got off the carriage at Lina’s suggestion, I saw Mark peeking at her.

Maybe I’m not an adult yet, so I’m trying to say no.

However, Mark quietly shut her mouth, as if he couldn’t say anything to Lina, who became her lover.

‘I sometimes say no, but this is good.’

Now, my sexual desire has reached its limit.

The last time I had sex was with Sofia four months ago.

During that time, I had a wet dream twice.

I even thought about masturbating in the middle.

In fact, maintaining my golden daughter was self-reasoning for myself in a true sense, for the sake of sex on the surface.

But there is no need for that anymore.

So, I tried it a few months ago.

And quit.

‘A sense of wonder…’

The guy who had been passionately in love with the pussy of a pre-eminent beauty until recently was not satisfied with his ex-lover whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Even after it was cheap, the sense of shame and displeasure was stronger than satisfaction.

So, after that, the gold daughter started again.

‘I need something…’

While working as a mercenary, he thought he would be able to meet a beautiful woman, but he was mistaken.

Among the mercenaries, Lina belongs to the top 0.1% of beauties.

The rest was just a macho girl with a lot of muscle and even knife marks all over her body.

I can’t tell if it’s a woman’s chest or a man’s chest.

‘Let’s wait a little longer and think about it.’

Gathering her general thoughts, she looked up and saw that she was right in front of the inn.

“Then why don’t we rent a room first and drop off our luggage first?”
“It should be.”

At Mark’s suggestion, she went right into the inn.

Then she was approached by a woman who looked to be in her early to mid-thirties.

“Welcome. Are you just going to eat? Or even overnight?”
“Accommodation! One double room and one single room, please.”

When I spoke up, Lina hid behind Mark, her face turning red.

Mark was just scratching his cheek.

“Is there a single room for one double room? All right. Wait a minute!”

The woman immediately headed to the side of her kitchen and brought her two keys.

“The lodging fee is 2 silver.”
“Yes. Here you go.”

She handed over the 2 silver, took the key, and headed straight for the second floor.

“Then see you later. I know it’s hot, but restrain yourself!”
“Lie! You!!”

When he joked again, Lina must have been angry, and she screamed and came running.

As she jumped right into her room, Lina huffed at her door and then went back.

“Hmm.. I need to collect 5 million more Karma and think about it.”

First of all, karma comes first.

After a rough conclusion, I put down her luggage, looked around the room for a while, and came down to the first floor.

Then, I saw a group of people who had already come down and were waiting.

“Oh.. What is it? You came down quickly.”
“Of course! Please sit down.”

Lina grabbed me and sat me down in her chair as if to stop me from saying anything else.

“Have you placed your order?”
“Okay. I have already placed my order, so it will come soon.”
“Is there anything I need to be careful about here?”

I asked while chewing on the peanuts that were served beforehand, and Mark answered while looking around.

“Well… It’s no different from other places. Be careful with people you don’t know, and be careful with your attitude in front of nobles. But… Something is unusual.”

As Mark said, the people around him were whispering and talking about something.

Just in time, the group sitting right next to them cautiously brought up the topic.

“Hey. Did you hear Didn’t that Ralph party see something strange over there on Mount Morach a while ago?”
“Okay. Did you say it was a frozen corpse? It was so bad that it was melted by putting it near a fire, so even the body was melted. It’s completely frozen to the inside.”
“I mean, it’s not serious…”

Certainly, being completely frozen from head to toe as well as the whole body in October was quite uncomfortable.

It is highly likely that he was affected by cold magic.

“Mark. The timing is a bit bad.”
“Okay. But you don’t have to go to Mount Morak. Because there are many other places.”
“Then I’m glad. By the way, I heard that there are many monsters that use auras here?”
“Okay. These are the guys who are called warriors. It’s okay though. You are there, and now I can use my aura.”

Even within the same species, the difference in power between monsters is enormous.

For example, if a normal goblin can handle three or four normal adult men alone, the goblin warrior is a terrifying monster that even Auras can use.

‘I’ll give you that much karma.’

Guys who use auras give at least 30 per creature.

In other words, even if you catch 3 of those guys a day, it’s almost 100.

‘I’ll get there soon…’

“Ruler! Stop talking Food is here!”

She brushed off her thoughts at Lina’s sudden words and looked up to see the waitress.

Soon the waiter left the beer and food, and as always, we had a simple toast and drank.

***

“And! There are so many requests!?”
“Damn it.. Reduce your swearing.”

Mark pointed out my tone, but it didn’t even catch my eye.

I expected from the fact that a building much larger than the Mercenary Guild in Libran’s territory was placed, but the scale was truly enormous.

‘Is there such a difference between a viscount and a count?’

Certainly, from counts to high-ranking nobles, it was a new realization.

The building is 3 times as big, but the bulletin board is bigger than that.

The double had large bulletin boards hanging on either side of the wall, one for each category.

‘War of annihilation, war of subjugation, pioneering, escort. There are so many..’

As I was frantically looking around, Lina pointed at one of her requests.

“How about this? It’s a subjugation request, but there’s a goblin warrior in between. The reward is nice too, would you like to do it?”
“I do!!”

In my opinion, it would be nice to have five instead of one, but that’s impossible.

‘It would be possible if I use Frencia style swordsmanship, but…’

I haven’t shown those sword skills to Mark and Lina yet.

Since it is a swordsmanship of a different level from normal swordsmanship, which only has form, you will naturally realize it when you see it.

The fact that I hide a lot more from myself than I thought.

‘I’ll have to think about it.’

After spending a few months together and overcoming the last crisis, our distance has decreased even more.

Now that we trust each other deeply, I think we should keep that in mind.

We went straight to the reception desk with the request form, and after simply completing the request submission, we set off straight away.

“It’s nice to be close.”
“I know. It’s surrounded by mountains, so there are a lot of monsters, but it’s a relief that we’ve developed so much thanks to that.”

On the street, almost half of them were wearing weapons such as swords or spears.

It’s rare, but among the mercenaries there are wizards, so the number of mercenaries is probably well over half.

As we chatted and moved, we arrived in front of the mountain in an instant.

“Are you ready?”
“Yes! Let’s go!!”

After giving a vigorous answer to Mark’s last question, I entered the forest.

Tumble- tumble-

The road was quite leisurely in the mountains, probably because it was a frequent road.

Looking at the traces of the bushes being roughly torn here and there, it seems that other mercenaries have made a path.

“Shh-“

While walking like that, at some point, Mark looked at the floor and stopped.

When I looked at the floor, there were footprints of about half of an adult male in a mess.

“It’s a goblin footprint. You can’t see the warrior’s footprints, but it’s natural.”

In the case of the Goblin Warrior, he would of course be the boss, so he wouldn’t move to find food on his own.

It is not a strange situation that only small footprints are full.

The goblins’ footprints were not on the road, but through the bushes.

Pusssssuck- Susssssucks-

As I moved through the thicket with a jungle sword, I heard the sound of water.

“Everything has come. It seems to have settled down by the stream.”

After that, Mark didn’t open his mouth any more.

Mark stopped when he got close enough to think that the sound of water had reached right in front of him.

As I cautiously moved to the side without making a sound, I saw goblins beyond the bushes.

‘There he is!’

In the middle was a bonfire that had already been put out, and right next to it was a goblin who was bigger than the others.

A total of 8 normal goblins.

Half of them were equally asleep, and the rest stood guard.

It seems that he fell asleep after eating his fill of bones lying around.

After making eye contact with the party without a word, he nodded and immediately stretched out his aura.

Aurochaejik, who approached secretly and silently like a snake, suddenly accelerated and stabbed the goblin warrior in the chest.

“Kak! Kyaaaaak!”

However, just before being stabbed, he felt an aura and twisted his body, unable to pierce his heart.

I clicked my tongue as I saw the man writhing in pain.

“Tsk.. Asshole. Just die quietly.”

That would be less painful…

I looked at it with a bit of sadness, then immediately exploded the aura.

Quung!

“Kek.. Kekek..! Big..”

Then the Goblin Warrior screamed in agony and died with blood spewing from his mouth like a fountain.

And in the meantime, Mark and Lina, who had already run, easily dealt with the goblins.

“Khaaaaap!”

Let’s vigorously swing the sword with Mark’s aura on it.

Stand up!

The upper and lower bodies of the two goblins in the path were separated and died instantly.

“Ha!”

Lina knocked down the goblins one by one with her skillful swordsmanship, and without me intervening, all the goblins lay down on the river bank.

“Is it too easy? Next time, instead of a subjugation battle, we will receive an annihilation battle.”
“I will. It’s not even lunch yet, so why don’t we go right away?”
“I will. Is Mark okay?”

When asked while sharing her opinion with Lina, Mark nodded her head as he cut off the goblin’s ear and retrieved it.

I cut off the goblin ear and retrieved it, opening her status window.

‘Karma is.. 20?’

Apparently, Aura users remember that they gave at least 30, but there were fewer.

“Already..”
“Huh? Lie. What did you say?”
“No. It’s nothing.”

Lina reacted to the words that suddenly jumped out of the voice, and after saying that it was nothing special, she closed the status window.

‘I have to kill more!’

I just hope to meet a lot of warriors in the war of annihilation.

As soon as we finished collecting the evidence, we immediately went back to the mercenary guild.

***

“At las..”

One week.

During that week, we slaughtered a lot of monsters.

Mark, who realized the aura and accumulated enough results, became a B-class mercenary, and I was finally able to collect 5000 karma.

‘To take a picture or not..’

When the situation came to a close, I wondered if it was right to use the huge amount of karma that was 5,000 just to learn one skill.

“I don’t know!”

It’s such an idiot to say that I couldn’t use it because it was a waste to collect it in the first place.

『Would you like to consume 5000 Karma to learn the Understanding Death skill?』

“Yes!”

Kwok-

As soon as I pressed the Yes button, I felt as if my soul was coming out of my body.

“Ugh!”

At the same time, something cold covered his body, giving him a tremendous chill.

“Ugh..!”

The whole body trembled and hardened from the terrible cold, as if the soul itself was frozen.

“Turn it off…”

I managed to hold on to it somehow and desperately held on to my spirit.

‘I can’t die here!!’

At least I have to have sex one more time and die.

On the brink of death, Myung Kyung Ji Soo shines again.

The hand of death that had invaded the soul began to be pushed away slowly.

At the same time, a ray of heat rose up in the mind that had been frozen by the cold and quickly drove out the cold that covered the body.

“Huh.. Heh! Heo Eok! Lived!”

He was out of breath and touched his whole body, but he was fine without a single wound.

“Fuck it… I’m learning skills, but what is this…”

Does it mean that in order to understand death, you have to go through it yourself?

It was a horror that was incomparable to any death I had ever experienced.

The feeling that not just my body, but my self, my soul, my spirit are dying.

When I experienced it, I knew for sure.

What is death

“Understanding Death..”

When I opened the status window, there was an understanding of death in the list of unique skills.

『Understanding Death – Realizing true death.』

“Is this the end?”

The explanation is too brief.

At least there should be something like a closer look…

“Haa.. I need to know what skill it is… Huh? What is this.”

As soon as I looked away from the status window, I could see something different.

Wooden floors, ceilings and walls.

In all that-

“I can see the line.”

Death began to appear.
