Black Summoner
Lesson 188: Threats = Rewards
In the western jungle of the Labyrinth Pub, there is a new dungeon discovered by Kelvin, the "Reaper's Table." The level of monsters that emerged was so high that even the shallow hierarchy could kill an A-grade adventurer. The Adventurer's Guild certified this as an S-Class Dungeon. Without permission, those below the A-Class Adventurer would not be able to approach the area around the dungeon. Essentially, only Guild Secretary General Sin and S-class adventurer Kelvin can set foot in this area as a pubbler. Exceptionally, Kelvin's disciples, Tin, Paul, Singhir and Odrad, are allowed to enter, but only if Kelvin is accompanied.
... but these were only ostensibly public information, and there were other exceptions. This dungeon is a super-hazardous zone, and there are two suspicious figures who are perceived as men and women near its deepest hierarchy. It was originally an empty room that was empty, but now it has been transformed into a special prison by the hand of Reaper. The masculine figure is in the cell, and the masculine figure is on the other side of the iron lattice, talking to the woman in the cell.
"Gloria, how long do you think you're going to hold out? I'm telling you to follow my side."
"I've told you so many times... don't be silly, Kelvin!" You lost the battle and turned back to the enemy!? You still think you're our lieutenant!? "
The figures were Kelvim and Gloria, who had been defeated by Sella and was now in a claustrophobic state. Is it closer to an altercation than to a discussion? Kelvin entrusted Gloria's persuasion to Kelvin, but the negotiations seem to be difficult.
"In the first place, I am moving under the direction of Eldo, who is in a higher position than you." I won't let you give me orders! "
"The Eldo went crazy." Decrease our compatriots senselessly with no order, and still do not try to correct our own policies. They're all bullshit, though they're arranged in a line of words. If Adam's right arm is mad, this left arm of mine is the most natural way for me to act. Even for you, who once reigned as the "God of Discipline", this is not a bad story. Correct your mistakes, that's discipline, isn't it? "
“You idiot! You're just interpreting discipline as convenient to you!”
"Interpretation is always made by the powerful. Gloria, if you are a loser, you have a duty to follow the winner for now. If you agree with Adams, I want you to understand that."
"There's no way you can understand!?"
... no, it seemed impossible to persuade me first, rather than difficult to navigate.
"Kelvin, I'll stand in your way..." You were still arguing. It doesn't seem like a good point of persuasion.
Wow, there was this place.
"I've never been this deep before." I'm surprised. "
"Everyone, more than that..."
"Ha-ha!... oh, I know."
It was Kelvin and his four disciples who came there. Kelvin sighed in astonishment, and while the disciples looked around with interest, they seemed to be wary of the two people in front of them.
"Kelvin, if you think of anyone." Well, there's no one else visiting this place but you. "
“It's a resort facility where you can fight vicious monsters without being disturbed by anyone. It's quite cozy, isn't it?"
"... well, I'm not bored"
"Oh, I agreed to Master's idea!" Doesn't he have the qualities of a Battle Junkie too?! "
"That's right, I'm looking forward to it!" The hair color is also black and I feel intimate! "
"Unlike Odrad, visuals look pretty good. Well, not as much as I am."
"You guys, I'll get in the way of the master, so don't keep your mouth shut any longer."
"... so, what are these humans?"
The prison suddenly became busy, and Kelvin asks Kelvin weirdly. In Gloria's case, she was a poker player and hadn't swallowed up the situation.
"It's my disciples." Kelvin, I need you to train these guys. "
"... at least add a specific explanation, even if it's a sudden request."
It was a particularly important point. Kelvin, scratch and explain.
"--- Do you want to raise your strength so that you can participate in the showdown?"
"Oh, I turned it down once, but I'm very enthusiastic." But I, too, have other things to do. If Kelvin is a virtual enemy, I think it's good for them. ”
"No, I don't have time for such nonsense." As you can see, I'm busy persuading Gloria. ”
"No, you can't persuade me forever if I keep doing it like that... if only Gloria could join me in my training." The conditions offered to Gloria in the "Heart Carm" are the same as those offered to Kelvin. While you're training these guys, it's okay to persuade them in parallel, right? Don't you think persuading in a stretching environment improves your chances of success rather than being locked up in a cell like this? "
"... I see."
"I see!" Kelvin, what's wrong with you is your head! "
Kelvin's conversation with Kelvin brought Gloria back to her senses.
"Haha, I'm glad you look better than I thought. Sara and I are flashy, aren't we? I hope you'll meet me one day, Gloria."
"... you're Kelvin." I've heard some stories from Kelvin. No matter what I do, I'm not going to give in to you guys. "
"Oh, that's fine." Well, I didn't think you'd be riding Kelvin's story from the beginning. If that happens, it will be troublesome to increase the strength of our side. "
"... what do you mean?"
"That's what it means." Well, it doesn't matter how you interpret it. "
"Humph, hold on. You're going to let those guys join the fight?" The people on the ground seem to be running out of strength. Are you really going to fight our ten powers with such a weak force? I don't want to say bad things, but you have to stop. You have no chance of winning. "
"Hiso-hiso" (He can often slap such a big mouth right after he loses, right? Apprentice that Kuta) "
"Hisohee... (I agree with that, but it's not a very rude thing to say to the lady...)"
― ― Giroli.
………
Gloria stared at Paul and Singhir, who turned silent and turned away. It seemed that the story of the two of them had been heard in its entirety. Just as evolutionary humans, fallen angels also have good ears.
"Haha, you guys are pretty powerful, aren't you? And the answer to the question I just asked, of course I'm going to fight and win. Well, what do they call a social studies tour? Think of it not as a force to fight against, but as a force for the future. Be assured that you will be defeated on the front line by a member like Sara."
"What are you trying to reassure me with?... It seems that you mistakenly assumed that you could match the ten powers by defeating me and Kelvin." That's pathetic. "
"There's no mistake. Kelvin was the first officer of the Ten Powers, right?" Say it, number two. Isn't that natural? "
“That's what I'm saying, that's pathetic. If it is not a decoration, use its ears to listen carefully. The top three of the ten most powerful powers, the powerful ones called Ken no Uma Ketsu, were still alive. And their pure strength sets them apart from ten other powers."
"Oh, I know! I'm looking forward to it!"
"... what about you?"
Gloria was going to do this as part of a threat. Unfortunately, she hadn't imagined that the Reaper could only exert its effects in the opposite direction. What an unfortunate story.
