Episode 172
“You should always be helpful to others. Otherwise, it will be abandoned.”
This is what ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ has heard from her father since she was young.
In the end, whether it is friends or society, it is give and take.
I must give something, and the other person must also give something.
“If it doesn’t help, it gets thrown away. So, you should always strive to become a useful person.”
That voice still resonates in her brain.
It should be helpful…
Currently, the ‘Red Gate’ was open.
Everyone in the group is in a huge crisis.
In other words, it is a time when everyone must join forces.
‘But what about me?’
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked at herself.
She is currently lying helplessly on the bed.
Cha Ji-yoon, Radeon, Kim Na-yoon, and Beccaria all went out to fight the enemies.
And, Nam Do-yoon is currently preparing to fight ‘Choi Won-ik’.
I am of no help and am just lying on the bed.
It can be summed up in one word.
A lump of luggage.
Here, I feel like a burden.
In one word, it is no different from a nuisance.
“Hey.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ spoke in a dying voice.
“Why?”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ looked back at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’.
“Even if ‘Choi Won-ik’ comes here, don’t act weird and protect me, just focus on the battle with ‘Choi Won-ik.’ Got it?”
“I will do it even if you don’t tell me, so don’t worry.”
“…Okay.”
“I’ll say it again, don’t act like you’re protecting me. Got it? “I don’t care what happens.”
“I understand.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ chuckled.
She hated being a burden to her colleagues for no reason more than dying.
It’s still nothing more than a burden, but if that guy who says he’s trying to protect me gets hit with an ‘instant death’ instead…
“Phew, that can’t be possible.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ burst into laughter.
What kind of delusion are you having now?
Nam Do-yoon is being hit by ‘instant fraud’ on my behalf?
That guy has feelings for me, but those feelings aren’t deep enough to make him die in my place.
Bang-
That moment.
A strong bursting sound was heard from outside.
Namdo Yoon pricked his ears towards that.
****
‘Radeon’ and ‘Kim Na-yoon’ went out of the castle.
Wooow-
‘Radeon’ dyed his sword red.
Then a wind of dust began to rise in the distance.
And soon a man appeared in front of ‘Radeon’.
He had extremely long red hair.
At the same time, his body was extremely muscular.
He smiled when he saw ‘Radeon’.
“I can’t believe you know how to do that. “You were chosen by God?”
The ‘Berserker’ looked at ‘Radeon’ and grinned.
“Yes. It just so happened hahahaha-“
‘Radeon’ smiled awkwardly and said.
“In that case, it would be polite for me to do the right thing.”
He took out the sword he was wearing at his side.
The sword was a fairly long sword.
It was in a shape close to a saber.
Paat-
As soon as he took out the sabre, he leapt forward.
Quang-
Soon, the strong cracking sound of ‘Radeon’ and his sword colliding began to echo.
***
“Okay. “It all went according to plan.”
“What?”
“That’s the sound that occurs when swords collide. What it means is that ‘Berserker’ and ‘Radeon”s group met.”
“Thank goodness..”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked at ‘Nam Do-yoon’.
It’s clear that he came here because he was worried about me.
That guy is me…
However, coming here for no reason is a waste of resources.
You must be placed in the right place and pass through this ‘Red Gate’.
However, in the current situation, I am only becoming a hindrance.
“Hey. “Just go.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ said.
“Just go?”
“Uh.”
“Just go. Why don’t you just go? “I’ll be here.”
‘Namdo Yoon’ shook his head.
“Don’t be there because of me…” “Go quickly.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ spoke in a voice that seemed like she was dying.
“I’m here because of you?”
“…Then isn’t it?”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked at ‘Namdo-yoon’ with her eyes narrowed.
‘Nam Do-yoon’ was making a bewildered expression.
“Well, think about it yourself, but that’s not what’s important.”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ said.
“Perhaps if ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ and ‘Beccaria’ met the ‘Death Wizard’, ‘Choi Won-ik’ would probably be coming here right now.”
“…”
“We have to prepare for that. No, it doesn’t really matter since the preparations are already perfect.”
“…..You prepared?”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ said with a blank expression.
“Uh. No, actually, there is no need to prepare. “There is no way I can lose to ‘Choi Won-ik.'”
“…”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked at ‘Nam Do-yoon’.
“What kind of confidence is this? What ‘Choi Won-ik’ writes is an instant fraud? “Just touching it kills me.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“..Huh?”
“I know a way to destroy ‘Instant Death’. Anyway… Rather, ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ and ‘Beccaria’ should meet safely..”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ said with a nervous expression.
You can beat ‘Choi Won-ik’, but on the other hand, there is no way to beat ‘Death Wizard’.
****
“…Whew..”
‘Choi Won-ik’ sighed deeply.
“I really can’t stop that guy.”
The ‘death magician’ next to him also shook his head and said.
“When I see guys who want to use their swords, they all get so excited and run over to fight.”
“…Well. “That guy was like that anyway, so he was excluded from the plan in the first place, so he doesn’t really matter.”
‘Choi Won-ik’ looked to the side and said.
“You know you shouldn’t do that, right?”
“…Of course.”
The ‘Death Wizard’ nodded and said.
“If I just deal with the ‘orb’ in this castle, I can get close to perfection.”
People currently do not know the true value of the ‘orb’ that suddenly fell from the demon world to the human world.
However, if you find out the true value of that ‘orb’, the story will be different.
That ‘orb’ is currently the only artifact that can make ‘Instant Death’ useless.
However, everyone is just muttering because they don’t know how to use it.
“…So we need to get rid of that first. “Let’s both go at once.”
‘Choi Won-ik’ said.
“Where are you talking about?”
“Of course, I am referring to the ‘seongju’s room’, but where can I be referring to?”
“I understand. “It looks like the road I’m taking right now leads to the castle lord’s room.”
The ‘Death Master’ spoke while leaning on the wall.
They were currently walking up the stairs.

The sound of their footsteps continued to echo.
And then I heard something very faintly muttering.
“…What is it?”
‘Choi Won-ik’ tilted his head and said.
“It doesn’t seem like a big deal, so I guess I can just go.”
The ‘Death Master’ said.
“No. “It doesn’t seem like it’s a big deal.”
That moment.
Grunting-
The black robe of the ‘Death Master’ caught fire.
“Phew – I guess there’s someone in this castle who knows how to use magic.”
He chuckled.
“However, the first thing to do is to realize that there is nothing you can do with such cheap magic..”
Wow-
Soon, a magic circle began to be drawn in his hand.
It was because of the magic he used.
Soon he stretched out his hand toward the fire.
Currently, wherever his palm touched, the air was disappearing.
It was because of the magic he cast.
Fire is something that continues to burn by combusting oxygen.
Fire magic was a problem that could easily be extinguished if oxygen was removed.
Soon his hand reached for his robe.
“…?”
The ‘Death Wizard’ tilted his head.
The fire showed no signs of dying down.
“What happened?”
The ‘Death Master’ spoke with his eyes wide open.
From his perspective, magic using ‘fire’ could be solved very easily.
That’s because it’s the end if the oxygen itself is completely eliminated.
“But this…” “
The ‘death magician’ said.
It was so strange.
This was my first time seeing a fire that did not go out even when oxygen was gone.
Grunting-
“!!!”
In fact, the fire began to burn more passionately.
“…”
‘Choi Won-ik’ looked at it carefully without saying a word.
“It is the ‘Fire of Kali.'”
“…Yes?”
“No matter what you do, that fire will never go out.”
“….Then what should I do? “Is there any way to put out this fire?”
The ‘Death Master’ said with a pale expression.
“No.”
“Yes?”
“No, strictly speaking, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. If you kill the caster, the fire will automatically turn off.”
“But how do I know where the caster is?”
“Surprisingly, it will be easy to find.”
“..Yes?”
“There are fatal limitations to the ‘Fire of Kali.’ You must always maintain a certain distance from the target hit by the ‘Fire of Kali.'”
“…”
“Otherwise, the ‘fire of Kali’ cannot be maintained and will soon die out. “Probably looking at your condition now…”
‘Choi Won-ik’ said while looking at the fire burning in the ‘Death Master’s’ clothes.
“It sure looks like it’s nearby. “Please come back quickly.”
“Aren’t you going together?”
“Destroying the ‘orb’ is the priority. “I will destroy the ‘orb’, so you should quickly deal with the caster and then come back.”
“…I understand.”
The ‘Death Master’ concentrated his mana in one hand.
Then the manas all started pointing to one place.
“There it is..”
The ‘Death Wizard’ said with a grin.
His mana is unique, allowing him to guess the location of the spell caster on him.
“Then we will process it quickly and join you.”
“Okay. “Do it.”
The ‘Death Master’ began heading towards the abandoned house in the distance.
Jerbeok-
Jerbeok-
‘Choi Won-ik’ walked alone and arrived in front of ‘Seongju’s room.’
Soon he opened the door.
