53 – Volcano’s corpse smells like gunpowder.
“Shit! There has never been a story like this!”
“What kind of power…heck!”
Two people were blown away by the swinging baseball bat.
5 people with just that.
These are the numbers I knocked down here.
A total of 15 participants in this game.
I’m not fighting alone.
There must be at least 5 survivors.
‘It’s weak.’
Most of the contestants didn’t even get the prize they fought last time.
Or have I become that strong?
Because the person I’m with is a strong person outside of the standard like Yuri.
It’s not easy to accurately judge my skills.
‘In the past, even hat sellers said that I was worth paying attention to.’
Of course you can’t be satisfied with that.
“You may come out now.”
“oh! Go, thank you!”
A woman hiding behind a tree peeked out.
As Kim Jong-pil said before, he is a helper attached to me.
Frankly, it doesn’t help much.
It’s literally because he was put in for the purpose of reducing one competitor.
‘My name was Sora Lee.’
“Bo, I’ve heard a lot about the boss, but he’s amazing. In an instant, this amount of people… … .”
She hesitantly approached and spoke in a trembling voice.
I don’t know why, but I’ve been terrified since before.
to whom? maybe to me?
‘Where’s a reliable and kind colleague like me?’
Anyway, I don’t know why Kim Chun-shik gave me this kind of woman.
Is it a sandbag concept?
Well, I wasn’t bored since he kept talking next to me.
“It’s hard for me to dare to say, but with this skill, it’s worth aiming for the championship!”
“Yes.”
The work went smoothly beyond expectations.
But it’s also a bit sad.
‘There’s no need to use the bomb I bought.’
I wanted to test it on someone else before writing it on Jong Seo-han.
There was no situation to use it.
But even if you use it on a weak human, it won’t be tested properly.
“Hmm.”
“I-you are still not satisfied with this! After all, the bowl is different…! You are amazing!”
Lee So-ra spoke again incomprehensible words.
He’s a really talkative person.
I was about to start walking again, but suddenly stopped.
“Uh, uh, why are you like that? Weak!”
I immediately pulled Isora toward me.
He was on the short side, so he was hugged wide in my arms.
She struggled with a red face.
“Hey, don’t do this! I am such a woman…!”
“Be quiet.”
at the same time.
A flying blade pierced the spot where she had been.
“Hey!”
‘…is the sword stretched?’
The blade of the sword was stretched several times longer than usual.
If this was a manga, not a novel, the line “Go and kill, new war” would have appeared in the previous cut.
Soon it shook and shrank again.
“This is a waste.”
Turn your head along the shrinking sword.
A familiar man was standing there.
“I was thinking of taking care of my comrades before defeating you.”
Jong Seo Han.
The leader of the Volcano faction.
And probably the only player in this game who can match me.
“It’s dangerous, so stay away.”
“Ah, yes, yes!”
I made Lee So-ra step back and lifted the baseball bat.
Jong Seo-han also slowly walked this way.
“What? Aren’t you fighting alongside your subordinates?”
“I don’t think it’s necessary.”
“……Still cocky.”
I slowly examined Jong Seo-han’s sword.
After all, that doesn’t seem to be an ordinary weapon like my baseball bat.
“Does the Volcanic Sect teach martial arts that extend swords?”
“Oh, this? This is an effect that only my sword has. Do you know Shin Jin-cheol?”
Shin Jin-cheol.
Yeoui-bong, the weapon Son Oh-gong used.
It is said to have been used to make it, a metal whose volume can be adjusted at will.
“This sword contains that Shin Jin-cheol.”
“yes? Too bad. I thought it would be nice if I could learn glass too.”
When Yuri’s story came out, Jong Seo-han’s face was blatantly distorted.
“Don’t use that person’s name indiscriminately! I’m not the kind of swordsman you can call me that.”
“It might be a flower on the cliff for you. He is just a friend to me.”
“I don’t know what witchcraft he used, but that’s it.”
Jong Seo-han pointed at me with his sword.
“If I prove that I am stronger here, Yuri Sojour will change his mind too!”
“……What kind of bullshit is this?”
We are together not because of individual strength.
Of course, that may have been the case at first.
But now they see each other as allies who will fight together through destruction.
Just like I won’t abandon her even if Yuri becomes weak.
Yuri also won’t leave even if I lose.
……Is it so?
Well, it’s not like I can look into Yuri’s heart.
At least that’s how close I think.
“I’ll tell you in advance, you can’t get your hands on the glass just because you win here.”
how you interpreted my words.
Jong Seo-han honed his teeth.
“Keugh! you dirty bastard! What weakness did you find in that slender, beautiful woman?”
“What?”
“Don’t pretend! Otherwise, there’s no way someone like him would be with you!”
I don’t know what new nonsense this is.
‘Shin Jin-cheol or something, did the head degenerate into a monkey? Isn’t the place where he came from not the volcanic wave, but the Hwagwa Mountain?’
If I had to ask, the one who lives in captivity is me.
That’s Yuri’s weakness.
If there is any, I rather want to ask.
And thin? are you kidding me?
“With this sword, I will definitely save Yuri Sozer from you!”
I sighed heavily as I looked at that unanswered bastard.
There is no one more troublesome to deal with than an idiot who mistakenly thinks he is justice.
It doesn’t matter because I’m going to kill you anyway.
“If I win here, swear you’ll stay away from Yuri Sozer!”
“Why am I such a jerk?”
Of course, if I fight, I win.
But there is no reason to make such a promise.
“Even if I try, there’s no benefit, so why am I doing that?”
“Keugh! As expected, you were looking at Sozer Yuri with such a dark heart. dirty bastard.”
Now I feel frustrated as if I ate sweet potatoes.
It’s rare to see a character that openly draws aggro like this.
“good night! Then, if I lose instead, I will pass this sword to you!”
……Isn’t it, he seems like a surprisingly nice guy.
Of course, Jong Seo-han has his own confidence, so he would set such a condition.
Just like me, you don’t think that you will lose in the first place.
Or it could be that he was simply crazy about women and couldn’t cover his face.
‘Isn’t it good for me anyway?’
Really, even if I lose, I don’t think Yuri will be with Jong Seo-han.
How will he know if we meet again after we break up for a short time with rude words?
On the other hand, if I win, I can definitely get that sword.
‘If it contains Shin Jin-cheol or something, it must be a good sword of at least C-class.’
Of course, my baseball bat right now isn’t bad either.
There’s nothing wrong with having a lot of weapons.
It could be a good gift for Yuri.
Organizing my thoughts, I nodded.
“Okay, I accept that offer. Even if you lose, don’t break your promise.”
“under! Rather, that’s what I’m going to say, Lee Ji-hoon!”
Jong Seo-han exclaimed excitedly as if everything went according to plan.
“Now this conversation is all being streamed live! If you think you don’t have to keep it, you’re very mistaken-“
before he finishes talking.
I took out a tonton bomb from my bag and threw it.
Quaang!
With a roar, the entire seat he was in was blown away.
****
‘You’re excited unlike me.’
Yuri felt his heart pounding as he walked down the corridor of the hotel.
Finally, the medicine to be given to Jihoon was completed.
It is not easy to make a medicine that replenishes the lost vitality.
Also to find materials.
Finding a craftsman to handle it is impossible outside.
It was fortunate that I was able to come to the ruin hotel.
I was thrilled that I had finally made it.
Now I can barely stand on an equal footing with him.
‘What, are you still playing?’
Yuri put on an openly disappointed expression.
I wanted to see a happy face as soon as possible.
You can’t force the game to end.
Feeling regretful, Yuri looked at the screen among the crowd.
There, Jihoon was walking with an indifferent expression.
At that time, Jihoon hugged the woman who looked like a team next to him.
– Quick!
Yuri narrowed her eyes involuntarily.
Of course, she knows that it is to avoid the enemy’s attack.
But, for some reason, I don’t like that scene very much.
‘Isn’t it necessary to stick like that?’
You’re not really going to die anyway, so you can just leave it alone.
In any case, the heart is needlessly weak.
That’s when Yuri was slightly dissatisfied waiting for the game to end.
“Is this, are you here to cheer for the captain of your team?”
When I turned my head, Kim Chun-shik was there.
Yuri looked at him for a moment.
I don’t get to meet you very often.
He was an oddly memorable person.
‘A strange human being.’
At first glance, it doesn’t seem like anything great.
But at the same time, I felt something unknown.
Even if you know that there is nothing special, you instinctively become wary.
A man with that kind of feeling.
Not someone I want to be close to.
“Or are you here to support your colleague Lee Ji-hoon?”
“……Whoever I cheer for, isn’t that a story that has nothing to do with them?”
After answering coldly, I tried to turn my head again.
However, the words that followed caught hold of her consciousness.
“He said something strange to me. He said he was reincarnated.”
There was no way that Lee Ji-hoon would have said such information without any reason.
Yuri glared at the man next to him.
“At the time, I pretended not to know. To be honest, it was very strange.”
at the same time.

Kim Chun-sik also turned his head and looked at Lee Yu-ri.
“There are different reincarnated people like this.”
“……What do you mean?”
His glass-filled eyes were shining strangely.
“It is not such a great story. However, if the same reincarnated people know something wrong, shouldn’t they tell each other?”
As if there wasn’t only one person with ‘special eyes’ here.
