200 – EP.35 Preparation-3
The Undead.
An existence that does not die completely even if it is killed and lives forever.
Jack made a contract with the Shinsoo I wanted to meet and became an Undead.
Just as I gained the power of kite through the provisional contract with Grandpa Kirin, Jack must have acquired one of the abilities of the divine beast.
Then, wouldn’t that divine beast be related to either life or death?
What kind of help should I get from such a god?
Yata didn’t give any advice. He just gave me a nuance that he would take care of it for me as soon as I met him.
‘What if I meet you and tell you to go back… ….’
Maybe it would have been better to find out what you like and offer it as tribute.
My personal worries are over here and I look at the scene that is happening in front of me.
Kwaang-! Slow-! Wooddeuk-! Kwajik-!
A splendid production unfolds in front of your eyes as you hear all sorts of roaring sounds.
Jack throws a grenade and fires a gun at the same time, and Tia reverses the flow of air and returns it as it is.
Thinking that ranged weapons are useless, Jack quickly tries to approach them, but his lower body is cut off by the wind.
Quickly regenerating his body again, Jack succeeds in approaching with the giant, but what awaits him is Tia’s compressed air.
Jack’s whole body was crushed by the air pressure, and even his bones were completely broken.
Eventually, Jack became like a meat dumpling, but when he blinked his eyes once, he was back to his original form.
It feels like I went back in time rather than being immortal. Maybe it’s a divine beast related to time.
“Haa… ! Ha… ! All I can say is that this is insane! No matter how many times I die, I don’t see any chance of winning.”
“Is it over already? sh*t! It’s more fun to play with stones!!”
“I would like you to appreciate the overwhelmingly disadvantaged man’s struggles in the battle between humans and divine beasts…….”
“No! Didn’t Yuu also fight against various divine beasts and overcome them all? So it’s a human difference!”
Tia’s words of praise are pleasing to me, but to her opponent, it’s an aggressive tone, so I’m worried.
Mainly in the game, the magic word that makes the other person angry is spit out.
Even if it’s not a game, hearing that word in real life will make you feel dirty.
I couldn’t help but worry that the arrows of anger might be directed at me.
“They said they fought and won against the Shinsoo… ….”
“Unlike the weak old man, Yuu is strong!”
Thankfully Jack wasn’t furious, but instead he was looking at me with interest.
It seems that Tia’s words provoked him, who was a fighting maniac.
Maybe things turned out to be trickier than expected?
“I can’t help it if I heard that. I have no choice but to do my best to be recognized!”
Once again, Jack jumped at Tia, and Tia skillfully responded.

Like that, the fight between the two gradually matures.
To be honest, calling it a fight is ambiguous, and the term “Training” Is more appropriate.
Jack couldn’t do any meaningful damage to Tia, and instead died instantly from a one-sided attack.
It was said that experience was an important factor in determining victory or defeat, but it meant nothing in terms of the overwhelming difference in power.
In the game, there might be a possibility of defeating the boss by inflicting at least 1 damage on it, but now it is impossible to give even that 1 damage.
If it were me, I would have declared surrender while swearing that it was a f*cking game.
Nevertheless, when I saw Jack still fighting without giving up, I realized that he was also a madman.
‘If that’s not the case, it could be that he’s just a mad pervert who likes being sick.’
It’s just my assumption, but the disgust level towards Jack has increased nonetheless.
“Certainly, Shinsoo is different. I must have been stupid for trying to look after the appearance!”
“Can you feel the difference in power now?”
“Well, I’m not sure about that yet!”
Jack approaches Tia as soon as he finishes talking.
Tia showed ruthlessness by splitting him vertically and killing him, but this time there was something different from before.
The light that covers the surrounding area is about to emanate from Jack’s body, which has been cut in half.
With the flash grenade in my pocket, I foresaw Jack’s attack and quickly prepared for the flash.
Thanks to that, the damage from the flash that reached me was negligible, but Tia and Jack, who were at close range, were swallowed up by the light.
In such a state, Jack naturally cut out his eyeballs with a knife and regenerated them, but Tia still couldn’t see her, so she was scrambling.
Tia’s gaps were finally exposed and Jack dug into them properly.
A sharp knife that tried to penetrate deep into Tia’s throat.
However, before it even touched the skin, the knife was crumpled like a piece of paper. Even Jack, who was holding a knife.
“How did you stop it? I wouldn’t have been able to see… ?”
“Even if I can’t see, I can tell by the flow of air!”
He sensed Jack’s air-cutting attack and immediately launched a counterattack. It was a precedent for turning a crisis into an opportunity.
“hahahaha! Somehow, even though the companion animal was in danger, there must have been a reason why the owner didn’t even budge!”
I could see a gap in Tia for a moment, but it wasn’t a crisis situation.
In the first place, I couldn’t inflict a single scratch on Tia with ordinary means of attack.
Furthermore, I can read the air flow and launch a counterattack.
I can do it, as I am in the position of borrowing my abilities from my companion animal, but there was no way Tia couldn’t do it, so I didn’t move.
If I truly believe that Tia is in danger, I will definitely intervene.
“I can’t win at all like this. So sorry, but I’ll change the sport for a while.”
“Sport change? If you’re changing the dueling genre, great! Azo-san was so weak that he had no taste for fighting!”
“I feel this from the first meeting, but the young lady has an excellent talent for picking up the other person’s heart with a single word of mouth.”
“Ahem!”
Tia, who took it as a compliment, put her hand on her waist and opened her chest.
The spirited Tia was very cute to be honest.
But before I could make that comment, I had to dodge the dagger that was flying at me.
“Sigh… !!”
“Different heat! Did you even manage to react to this?”
Continuing to check the future out of some unknown anxiety became a godsend.
If my reaction had been a little slower, I might have died with a dagger stuck between my eyes.
“The item to be changed is to protect my partner from me! Even if she wakes up from death, she is an opponent that can never be defeated, but if she is the lady’s companion, wouldn’t he be able to kill her if he tried?”
“This, what a crazy bastard… !”
Is there anyone in the world who attacks before explaining the sport?
Because it was me, I was fine. If it was someone else, I could have already bought a ticket to Hwangcheon Road.
It wasn’t something I would do to someone who was just watching the fight defenselessly.
“How is it? Do you think this won’t be as boring as before?”
“…… No, it will be boring.”
It was then.
The laughter disappeared from Tia’s voice and the air began to vibrate like mad.
All the air around it changed sharply, making people’s skin tingle.
And at the center of the fluctuating air was Tia, who was building a statue of arrogance.
“Because I plan to keep killing the old man from now on so that he can’t do anything to Yuu… !”
“Oops… ! Did I touch something I shouldn’t have touched?”
For a moment, I thought nothing of Jack’s pursuit of me. But there was one thing I had forgotten.
Relatively recently I had a temporary death.
However, I was reminiscing about the past without knowing that I would die, so I had no way to know the reaction of pets who witnessed my death.
I just remember that after everything was over, Tia stuck to my body like a piece of gum for a while and didn’t want to come off even for a moment.
After the battle with Docheol, Tia had done something similar, but this time she was more attached to her.
As I guess, at the time of Tao-Cheol, I was in a dying state, but did not reach death.
The shock that Tia must have received is unimaginable to me.
However, when the shock was mitigated a little, a man appeared who openly said he would try to kill me.
In fact, he even launched an attack that would have killed him instantly if I hadn’t dodged it.
How will Tia accept this man?
It goes without saying that Tia will completely rule out Jack.
Even if he were to come back to life, he would kill and kill him again and again.
“hahahaha… ! This… ! This… ! Depending on… ! Road… ! Imagination… ! More… ! This is… !”
“Are you able to speak in such a situation?” .”
Tia created a space with wind and trapped Jack inside.
In the space, a knife wind blew nonstop, tearing his body apart.
The head, torso, arms, legs, and intestines were all eaten by the wind of a knife.
A spectacle of terrible punishment that can only be seen in hell.
To the eyes of an ordinary person who cannot directly see the wind, it will be seen as a gore-like video of a person getting cut into pieces, becoming normal, and then being cut into pieces again.
‘Should I dry this or leave it out… ….’
I had to stop it because of the situation, but I hesitated for a moment because I thought that Jack would target me again.
However, it is a waste of time to stay still in the scene of endless killing and resurrection.
It must be the right decision to meet Shinsoo, who has a temporary contract with Jack, and get his help, even for a moment.
“Tia, that much… ….”
The moment I tried to stop Tia as soon as possible.
The blizzard that had been blowing fiercely calmed down and scattered.
Contrary to my expectations, Tia’s face was perplexed.
This means that it is not Tia’s will. Then, since Jack had done something, he hurriedly turned his head in his direction.
Then there was a smiling Jack with a normal body and a huge shadow trying to attack him.
“Congratulations! In the end, it seems that she couldn’t stand it and wanted to go on her own. This is my total defeat!”
“What do you mean by that? What is the big shadow behind you?”
“You’ll find out in a minute. Well then, see you both next time if you have a chance!”
After his greeting, the shadow engulfed Jack’s body and dyed the floor black.
What the hell is this all about?
Tia, who was so embarrassed before me, swallowed her saliva, and she carefully opened her mouth.
“Yuu, come again!”
“What?”
“Shinsu… !”
The huge shadow that had suddenly hit Jack floated up, and as he looked at the blackened floor, something began to rise.
I felt an unknown sense of danger in the shadows that swayed unpleasantly and took on a human form.
I pulled out the sword in advance, just in case, but someone suddenly grabbed my arms from behind.
“What the hell is this… ?!”
I was curious about the identity of the person who approached me behind me without any sign of it, so I looked back and saw that none other than my shadow was holding onto me tightly.
“There is no need to be vigilant. I only intend to have a conversation with you two, so please stay in a comfortable mindset.”
When I looked straight ahead again at the sound of a bell-like sound, the shadows that had been dreaming were gone.
She was replaced by a woman, with straight black hair that reached her thighs, skin like white jade, and eyes as red as a pomegranate, a woman with truly alluring features.
Just her expression felt indifferent, and her tone of voice was stiff, making her feel more like a machine than a human.
“My name is Skadi. It is a divine beast, a lion living in the underworld and a shadow itself.”
