12 – Queen under the moonlight-7
After dinner together, the awkward atmosphere was relieved.
I don’t know if you can keep your promise to trust me, but since I said it once, I’ll at least think about it.
“The price is higher than I thought. Why is it so expensive for a dark house theme?”
“Because it’s the center of the underworld, and rumors spread that we recognized it, so if we went there, we would have been overcharged and ate more expensively?”
I walked slowly towards the building. Although the front door was thick, the front door was empty, as if the arena participants were entering through a separate door, and people were gathered in the passageway that seemed to be going underground.

Naturally, we also walked towards the crowd and stood in line.
“Are you the one who defeated Wisdom-sama?”
A giant that looked over 2m tall approached us.

Not only was he tall, but his muscles were well-kept, and he definitely gave off the impression that he was strong.
Is this person also an arena participant? Looking at the atmosphere, it looked like an action leader of an organization, but I thought that other organizations would also participate in an event like an arena.
“I don’t believe you?”
How many people have seen it, but can’t believe it, I wished the man who approached Ha-yeon to rest in peace.
“When a person speaks, the answer is loud!”
-Bahah!! blah!!
Ha-yeon hit the man lightly, knocked him down, and started kicking him with quite a force. I wondered if it was a bit harsh, but since the other person started a fight first, there was no need to stop it.
-Bahah!!
The violence that started like that ended only after 3 minutes, and Ha-yeon stood next to me, leaving the tattered man alone.
“Isn’t that too harsh?”
“Opponent, Awakener, Gap, Goal.”
“The opponent is an Awakener, so he was defeated before he could use his abilities?”
Hayeon nodded. Is that a bit harsh though?
You’ve become completely bloody. isn’t it dead?
While I was praying for the man to rest, someone came out from the front door of the building.
“Oh, I knew it would be like this.”
Seemingly an acquaintance of the man, she kicked him once and said.
“I asked you to bring me. Who said you were sleeping after being beaten?”
After a few more hits like that, bloody smoke rose from the man’s body, and he stood up fine.
“I wanted to fight once, but I didn’t know it would be this strong.”
“It must be nice to have an Awoken hit by a non-Awakened.”
Is it a man’s ability? All of the wounds, which had been so many, had healed to the point that none of them were visible.
“Are you the ones who were with Yeji-nim earlier? Follow me. I’ll take you to the special waiting room.”
As the woman approached us, Ha-yeon flinched and tried to stop in front of me.
Are you paying attention? I’ll give you a prize later.
‘It feels like raising a puppy.’
If you do well, reward and praise, and encourage them that you are doing well, you will get better little by little.
“A special waiting room?”
“You can’t make the winners wait with the others. And the heat of the tournament heats up only when the strong come out in the second half.”
She led us to a small room overlooking the amphitheater where the arena would take place.
‘It’s well made.’
Even though it was made underground, the floor was covered with sand, and the lighting was bright but not obtrusive to the view.
“This is the second highest point from which you can see the arena.”
“Second?”
Well, the highest place must be the seat under the moon, but when I turned my gaze and looked up, I saw a large, very dark chair.
‘Looks like he’s still suffering from secondary illness.’
that’s too dark I used to really like dark things, but I’m still like that.
“What’s your name by any chance? I’ll have to use it later when promoting.”
“I am Lee Soo-hyun.”
“I, Rob, an introduction.”
“Suhyun-nim and Rob will be playing the 19th and 20th games. Each game takes about 20 minutes, so you just need to rest.”
“Shouldn’t I be sleeping at least?”
The time I checked on the clock in the room is 8:49, even if the arena starts at 9:00, it is said that my turn will come after 3:00. Maybe the people over there will wake you up, so it doesn’t matter if you sleep.
As I was sitting in the chair with my head down, I felt Ha-yeon approaching me.
“You should take a nap too. It’s going to take a long time.”
He felt Hayeon’s head resting on his shoulder. It was a little uncomfortable because it looked like a kid bigger than me was leaning on it, but there was nothing wrong with trying to fall asleep.
Since Ha-yeon is there, it won’t be a problem if she suddenly attacks while sleeping.
I slowly fell into soma.
*
The musty smell that stung the tip of his nose made his brow furrow. I was just annoyed by the familiar, but unpleasant stench.
– trudge
just walked I don’t know where the road led, but there’s no need to waste time in a place like this. Could it have been 5 minutes? A bright light greeted me.
*
“wake up!”
“Ugh, what is it?”
I was in a very bad mood because I had a bad dream. Looking around with a ferocious expression, I saw that the woman and the man from earlier were startled.
“What’s going on?”
I checked my watch, it was already 9:30. Didn’t I say we fight around 3 o’clock?
“Why did you wake me up?”
It seems that it is a human racial characteristic to speak ferociously when in a bad mood. I didn’t even want to speak kindly, so I urged one more time.
“Why did you wake me up?”
“A…. That’s right, I think I have to compete earlier than I thought.”
Don’t be so nervous. I think I did something wrong. Or did you do something wrong?
“when?”
“Y… now.”
“Tsk.”
When he clicked his tongue lightly, he saw the woman hiding behind the man.
I feel bad, but should I hit the arena or something?
‘No, it might be better.’
After you warm up your body like hitting a punching bag, you will feel better.
“Guide me.”
I got up, being careful not to wake Ha-yeon. No matter how angry you are, you have to take care of your brother.
“that is….”
“Leave all weapons here, that’s the rule.”
At the man’s words, he took out two pistols and a dagger and put them down. They were my favorite soldiers who have been with me for a long time, but I don’t really need them now.
Everyone knows that punching with a fist relieves stress better than shooting with a gun or using a knife.
“If you touch it, you die.”
The woman was completely terrified and sat down, so she followed the man into the arena. Looking up, I saw Wol-ha sitting in a childish chair.
I was going to say hello lightly, but I decided not to because I wasn’t in the distance to be seen anyway and I wasn’t in the mood to do that.
When about 20 people entered the arena, a man who appeared to be the moderator opened his mouth.
“The rules are simple. Just fight until there are 5 left.”
He then exited toward the audience.
‘Is this just the start?’
Looking around, I saw 19 people besides me grouped together.
‘Do you want to soak in me first?’
Stupid, do you think you’ll be an opponent with 19 people?
approached slowly Falling down to stay as far away as possible was like insects.
“Assholes.”
As I took a step closer, they took one step back.
There was booing from the audience. Cowards who run away scared of one person, idiots who can’t fight even if they unite.
Even those who talk like that will eventually stand in front of me and be no different from these guys.
As the tedious confrontation continued, one of them jumped out of the group and charged at me.
Seeing him, the others also rushed toward me as if they had gained courage.
-puck!!!
It’s nice to have some distance. If it was too close, they wouldn’t have thought of coming.
I left the weak bone that flew far away from the blow that hit my stomach and walked again.
how is it? will you run away again?
Fortunately, they seem to have chosen to attack rather than run away.
Dealing with 18 or so people is quite cumbersome. It’s obviously difficult to dodge all the attacks one by one to keep the clothes from getting dusty, but it’s annoying to follow and beat them one by one.
Even though there were a lot of people, it was not difficult to avoid it, as it seemed that there were no strong ones.
But even though these guys were weak, they were too weak.
-Paaa!!
It’s not a fist, it’s a guy who hits with the palm of his hand and his blood vessels burst and collapses,
-bang!!
The guy whose bones are broken with one stomp with his foot,
It’s not concrete, it’s sand, the one who bleeds because it’s buried in the floor,
He only tightened his neck a little, but he was full of weak bones until he passed out.
‘I can’t relieve my stress with things like this.’
Still, there are a lot of them, so what can I do?
After beating so much, there were only four people left standing.
‘I’m a little sorry?’
As I moved towards the remaining guys, the microphone beeped.
`What is it?`
When I turned my gaze to the moderator, he fell down with a frightened expression on his face.
“ㄲ… It’s over! The 5 remaining contestants will advance to the next round.”
“Not funny.”
I took a step and left the arena. I was also worried about having nightmares, but it seemed better to just sleep.
*
It wasn’t until after Suhyeon left the arena that loud cheers began to resound.
-Waaa!!!
“Lee Soo-hyun!!! Lee Soo-hyun!!! Lee Soo-hyun!!!!!”
An overwhelming force that can catch dozens of people alone, an overwhelming presence that completely crushes the arena.
Everyone in the audience got drunk and shouted at Lee Soo-hyun.
`Nice. Maybe it’s because I haven’t touched people’s hands for a long time, so it’s a bit rough, but I’m still rough, right?”
It wasn’t just the audience who got drunk on Lee Soo-hyun. The ruler of the underworld, the queen under the moonlight, also stared at the entrance where Lee Soo-hyun entered with a drunk expression.
