Depth of the Forest of Deception.
There was a gathering of deceptive insects that regularly boasted about their prey.
“This is the orc I captured yesterday. As you can see, these clear dual abs make him a superb prey!”
“Foot! If you eat something like that, won’t you turn into a muscle idiot too? “If you’re going to do this, you should prepare some proper food.”
“Oh, is that so? “Now that you say that, let’s take a look at what great food you brought.”
“You mean my food? I am an underground person who has been practicing cards underground for 500 years. “Unlike your oak, it has a richly aged dual root, not to mention a wise age.”
“Wow! If you’re from the underground, you’re a bunch of bastards who taste nothing but dirt! Besides, it’s been 500 years. What if we bring food waste instead of food?”
“What? “Have you finished speaking now?”
“Did I say something wrong?”
A praying mantis and a centipede bickering while disparaging each other’s food.
You might think of them rolling around on the ground and fighting fiercely, but their appearance was that of beautiful girls.
The only scene created was each person pulling their hair.
“Hey, kids. We can’t fight among ourselves… !”
“Who are you, telling us this and that!”
“A b*tch who can’t even catch food every time is missing!”
“I brought you here too today… !”
“”What?””
The ant ghost’s remarks made the mantis and centipede doubt their own ears.
Due to the nature of the terrain, if there is an ant hell in the forest, people are always suspicious.
As a result, the ant ghost’s hunting success rate was almost 0%.
The news that she had succeeded in her hunt was like a bolt from the blue, so it was natural for her to be surprised.
“Don’t mess around! “There’s no way in the world there’s an idiot who would fall into your trap!”
“If I caught you in the first place, shouldn’t I be behind you? “You’re lying about nothing!”
“Should I say that it didn’t catch it, but walked on its own…? .”
“Huh?”
The deluded creatures, unable to understand the ant ghost’s words, tilted their heads at her.
At the time when I was trying to urge the ant ghost to speak clearly.
Someone walked out behind her.
“Hello.”
An extremely ordinary-looking human male.
But the dazzling insects were not a race to be judged by appearance.
I looked into the man with a cautious attitude without letting down my guard, so I was able to roughly estimate his skills.
He is much stronger than me.

“Yes, the prey you caught is that human?”
“Rather than saying I caught him, I brought him here because I asked him to guide me… ….”
“You stupid b*tch! “What if they bring someone much stronger than us here?”
“Reveal your identity, human!”
“I am a realist who duels as a hobby.”
The dazzling insects, which seemed suspiciously scary from the very beginning, retreated little by little.
Every one of the prey that the dazzler had seen trembled at the thought of not knowing when they might be eaten.
But the man standing in front of them was smiling, unlike the other prey. I was extremely anxious.
A human being who has both the characteristics of a time bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode and a rugby ball that doesn’t know where it will bounce.
“Hey, human! “Tell me what brought you to our forest!”
“Dual.”
“Why do you want to duel with us?”
“DP.”
“What is our duel veto?”
“There is nothing like that.”
It was just a disaster.

“Hope! “How do you feel about witnessing the hero’s power firsthand, Varian?”
“I feel like I’ve recruited a monster instead of a hero.”
“You’re a monster! If the brave man heard it, it would be a big problem… !”
“I was just telling the truth. “If a person who is rescuing every single one of the reputedly evil deceivers is not a monster, then what is he?”
“It’s strange that a brave man who could defeat the Demon King is having a hard time against something like a deceptive insect!”
“Have you never considered the possibility that the hero you blindly trust might point a card at us?”
“There’s no way the hero would do that!”
Meanwhile, an argument was unfolding between a wizard with infinite trust and a barbarian warrior with endless suspicion.
Han Se-yoon, who had subdued the beguiling insects with visible foot duels, returned to his companions after completing the sweep.
“Phew… ! “The last one was dangerous, but I somehow won.”
“Thank you for your hard work. “It was very difficult to duel in a row, right?”
“It’s okay, I’ve gotten used to continuous duels to the point where I can call them my daily routine. “More than anything, it was easy to deal with him because he fought with counter cards.”
Prepare a counter deck based on prior knowledge.
It was Han Se-yoon’s unique advantage and strongest weapon as he could freely create decks without being restricted by themes.
Some people may think it is shameful, but the reality is that those who lose even with counters lose.
Han Se-yoon was able to achieve victory thanks to his unique luck and deck-making skills.
“Anyway, what do you plan to do with the deceivers you have subdued?”
“Hmm… …. First of all, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make everyone take off their clothes and bow.”
“Are you out of your mind, master?”
“…… I’m kidding.”
In front of Finesse, who was smiling fiercely, Han Se-yoon quickly withdrew his statement.
No matter how strong Han Se-yoon was, he had no choice but to become infinitely smaller in front of the woman he loved.
Moreover, he made the mistake of openly saying that he wanted to satisfy his selfish desires, so it was 100% his fault.
“You know, only duelists can eat dazzling insects?”
“Yes. “I understand that non-duelists don’t eat it.”
“It’s difficult. “You can’t tell someone not to eat someone.”
Just like the law of the jungle, I hunted duelists in order to survive.
Her order not to eat cannibalism actually means telling them to starve to death.
If that happens, the theme of dazzling insects will disappear forever from the duel world.
“Then, let’s pretend that we are giving a chance to those caught in the trap, and from now on, let’s make it possible to duel even if they are caught in the trap. So that if the duelist wins, he can escape alive. And we can ban torture of prey.”
“It’s not a bad disposition!”
“It is inevitable that victims will come forward, but the number of damage cases appears to be decreasing significantly.”
The moment when the disposition coordination was over and they were about to convey their intentions to the deceivers.
There was someone blocking Han Se-yoon’s path.
It was Varian who had already finished the fight with Ameria.
“Are you saying you’re going to show mercy to the deceivers now?”
“It’s not mercy, it’s about changing their customs. “It’s because we’ve been killing and eating people carelessly without dueling.”
“That’s too weak! Don’t you know how many thousands of duelists have been harmed by deceivers so far? “For the rest of the dead, we must kill them all right here!”
“Hey, Mr. Varian. The dazzlers have simply followed the laws of nature and hunted duelists. According to what you said, it would be cheap to die from pigs or cows that also ate humans.”
“Isn’t the case different from that!”
Han Se-yoon frowned at Varian’s behavior of finding fault with everything.
Since he was the only person with common sense among Ameria’s group so far, I just assumed that was the case and passed on.
However, as the complaints were repeated frequently, he eventually became displeased with Varian’s attitude.
‘If favor continues, it is considered a right’ is used in situations like this.’
Since you just let it go without saying anything, is there nothing you can see?
Han Se-yoon, who had reached the limit of his patience, shook his head.
Finesse approached secretly behind Varian, who was still complaining. He lifted his body up and threw it towards where the bewitching insects were gathered.
“Big! “What are you doing now?”
“If you want to kill the dazzlers, don’t whine to me, but kill them by dueling yourself.”
“What is that…?” ?”
“Hey! My friend there wants to have a life-threatening duel with you guys. “You guys take care of it.”
“Now, just a moment!”
There were as many as 50 dazzling insects that Han Se-yoon subdued.
Varian had to win 50 consecutive battles with the Deceiver to survive.
Varian, who knew how ridiculous it was, had a look of despair on his face.
“Did everyone hear? “This person wants to duel with us?”
“He said he would risk his life.”
“So, as long as I win the duel, I can eat it?”
The conversation between the fools started as a whisper and turned into a chatter.
There was pure appetite in the eyes looking at Varian, and some of the individuals even drooled.
Varian, feeling in danger, tried to urgently ask Han Se-yoon for help, but the group had already left.
Fortunately, Artea, whom Han Se-yoon trusted, remained until the end.
“Do, help me!”
“… ….”
“What are you doing!”
“Why should I help you?”
“It’s natural to help people who are in danger of death! “Wasn’t that what you stayed for too?”
“Unfortunately, the Agent asked me to remain here to deliver his message to the Deluder. “It was never my intention to save you.”
“What… ?”
“Foolish person, if you had stayed still, there would have been no problem……. “Then try your best to survive.”
“aaah!!”
Depth of the Forest of Deception.
In this place full of beautiful, deceptive insects, ironically, only the man’s screams remained.
***
“Ameria.”
“Yes! “Why did you call me?”
“Are you okay?”
“What is it?”
“I killed your colleague arbitrarily, and you are asking me if you are okay.”
“Aha, of course! Defeating the devil requires the noble sacrifice of one’s companions. If you think that way, there is no problem. “I’m sure Varian is happy that he was able to die for you!”
“Yes, yes.”
Ameria’s eyes sparkle with joy and even an ecstatic expression.
Her blind faith gradually became scary.
