SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
25. The Selected. (1)
1.
The messenger hurriedly said, as the dazzling light poured out.
- Hey, wait. If only the top 10 were summoned separately, there would be Grandpa Marcus there, too. Grandpa's gonna flip his eyes when he sees you.
‘Aigoo, I'm worried. It's all right. More death? ’
- Kim Zombie, this guy.
His mouth twitches as if he was about to spill something. Yikes. I quickly added something.
‘I've got it all figured out, so I'm fine. Don't you know? That's Duke Kim, Duke Kim. Swordsmanship! Trust me.'
- You mean you have a plan?
‘Of course! I have a clear plan. I'll show you in a minute. "
- Hmmm.
The messenger folds his arms.
But with or without complaint, it's too late. The summons have begun, and the white light has completely engulfed us. No matter what the end was waiting for, I was forced to face the sword.
I closed my eyes.
[Transmission is complete.]
When I opened my eyes again, I was already summoned to the 12th floor.
It was completely different from the 11th floor. On the 11th floor, if it was a fierce and dirty battlefield going back and forth, the 12th floor would be a luxurious and luxurious palace. It was the Imperial Palace of the Aikim Empire.
‘· · · No. ’
I looked around.
‘If you hit it with something fierce and dirty, the palace politics will be the same. ’
The imperial throne room has been summoned by other top attackers. Many of them were hunters I met yesterday, including witches and the Earl. Blind spot.They 're not the leaders of the Great Guild for nothing.
The other hunters make eye contact.
“Oh?”
“Hmm.”
Hunters reacted in a variety of ways. There was a Hunter with a big smile like, "I thought you'd be here first," and a Hunter with frowned eyebrows, saying, "I didn't think you'd come first again."
“Kim Gong-ja Hunter! It was amazing!”
Inquisitors belonged to the former.
“I enjoyed the action award I showed you on the 11th floor! I can't believe you used NPCs like that. I'm impressed!”
The Inquisitor approaches. It was so short that it seemed like a puppy was running.
“Is this a special Black item on your waist right now? NPCs saw the sword and began to follow Kim Gong-ja Hunter without hesitation. Did you receive this reward for clearing the 10th floor? ”
“Yeah · · · ·. ”
“I knew it!"
The Inquisitor looked up at me with a smile on his face.
“You made the top 11 breakthroughs with a reward from the 10th floor. Great application power!”
“No, no, no. That much · · ·. ”
“From now on, a lot of people will be jealous of Duke Kim Hunter. You may be treated as a lucky underling. Ignore it! It's all you! ”
Uh, yeah.
What's this guy? Are you an angel?
Kimzombie! Idiot!
The messenger shouts indifferently.
It was not the voice that used to tease me. It was an urgent shout.
- Watch out! Behind you!
That's when everything happened before the messenger finished speaking.
“Hmm.”
The first responder was a heretic interrogator in front of him.
The Inquisitor's eyes narrow and he tugs at my wrist. My posture collapsed, crouching. One step. The Inquisitor pushes me back and moves on instead.
- Sacred rites, body. ”
The Inquisitor mutters badly. Ka-cha-ang! The sound of steel hitting something harshly. It wasn't just steel.
Sword.
It was a clean slaughter.
“Aha.”
The Inquisitor smiles.
The eyes do not smile.
“Amazing, Sword. When did you become an assassin? ”
“Step aside.”
An old man in a suit. The sword said coldly.
The sword was aiming at us with its long sword.
No, I don't.
You're wrong.
“I'll kill him. ”
He was aiming at me, not at us.
2.
I was confident in the throne room.
My whole body was frowned like electricity flowing through the air.
“Hmm."
Only the Inquisitor responded with a tone that did not change much.
“Excuse me. Is‘ him ’referring to the Kim Gong-ja Hunter? ”
“Of course.”
The swordsman replied.
“If you don't get out of the way, I'm gonna have to cut off one of your arms. ”
The Inquisitor smiled brightly.
“That's a little embarrassing! I can't get out of your way right now. Hunter Kim is recognized by five guilds, including our Temple of Mankind. If you let them die here, the faces of the five guilds will fall to the ground! ”
“Gear's about to take out one arm. Young man.”
“Oh, that's too bad! My arms are still very useful. ”
The Inquisitor tilts his head with a smile.
“Can you tell me why you're after Duke Hunter Kim? ”
“I have no obligation to do so. ”
“You mean you would never give up? ”
“Get out of my way. ”
The swordsman refused.
Yes, as an old man, I was a murderer who killed over 4,000 humans. As long as you don't know my skill, that's how the sword will come out.
“I say again, I will kill him. ”
“Well! I guess I can't help it. ”
Inquisitors gathered their hands.
“I will overwhelm you here. Sacred rites, transmissions. ”
At that moment, a light burst from behind the sword. Pa! It was two hunters that came out of the Beacon.
Vigilante Corporal Paladin. Two hunters, widely known as Mutupa, have joined forces. They swing their weapons at the back of the sword.
“Ahhhh!”
The swordsman frowned.
“Flyes · · · ·. ”
The sword twitches its tongue. One stroke of the tongue, one swing of the sword. The blue orb cuts through the air and raises a small pivot. Two knives. With just two slashes, the paladin is wounded on his cheek. The serpent's blade bursts in his forearm.
“Hey, you monster! ”
It was a workshop that happened so fast.
“The old man is eating something and selling it! Come on, grow old! You're the reason young people like me can't grow up! ”
The serpent screams with evil intent.
The swordsman snorts a little.
“You're over 40, too. You're old, too, when it comes to real young people. ”
“You're funny! You'll still be in your 40s! In fact, real life is like starting in your 40s. ”
“Moonshine! You're right! First of all, your face value is amazing! ”
“That fucking religious scholar is on my side now, right? Huh?”
“Ha.”
The paladin sighs.
“Focus on the one in front of you. Serpent, we are at a disadvantage. ”
With a sigh, the paladin remains vigilant. No, I was nervous. Inquisitors, vipers and paladins. Even though the top three rankers surround three sides, the swordsmanship rises on its own.
“Hmmm. Definitely not good enough. ”
I wonder if the Inquisitor felt a little bit of heresy as well.
He smiles brightly and asks for the army.
“Earl!"
“Why.”
“Give me some money! ”
“How much will it cost? ”
“Fortunately, the sword has not lost its mind. Just a few moments to defeat them. 10,000 gold, please! ”
“The interest rate is 15 percent. Compensation.”
The Earl, who was watching the fight, paid off his debt.
“3 Months Interest-free installment. Is this okay with you? ”
“Hahaha! You misunderstood me! I didn't ask to borrow money. I asked him to give me some money. ”
“Huh. Are you forcing the merchant to donate? ”
“Yes! Yes! It's a filthy treasure, after all. I'll write it in a good place, so please feel free to go to heaven and be cheerful in the temple! ”
“They're more vicious than me." ”
The Earl shakes his head and pulls something out.
A pouch with a snail pattern.
The Earl unscrews the gold thread tightened in the opening of his pocket.
“Withdrawal, 10,000 gold. ”
The pouch opens. Glug! A lot of gold coins poured down. Perhaps that pouch itself is a very rare item. The Earl picks his pockets as the gold coins pile up to form a noisy hill.
“Here you go, Your Holiness. Only 10,000 gold. ”
“I'll take care of it! ”
The Inquisitor smiles widely and puts his hands together.
“Sacred rites, devotion! ”
The gold coins spill out on the floor. The golden light filled the throne room. In the middle of that, the Inquisitor mutters, moving his hands.
“Holy miraculous, physical enhancement. Fortified, paladin. Serpent. Maintenance time, 300 seconds each. The gold will hold our hands. We're done!”
“Hmm."
“Chet · · · · ·. ”
Then a strange thing happened. The gold coins piled up on the floor disappeared without a trace.
Instead, the light emitted from the Doubloons was transferred to the paladin and the viper. A golden light, like an error, shifted from the bodies of the two hunters. “Here,” the Inquisitor widened his arms.
“From now on, paladins and astronomers will be completely different for 300 seconds. Sword! No matter how strong you are, it's hard for me, the Earl, the Paladin, the astronomer, and four people to work together! ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
“Above all, the Earl's Vault has not yet fallen. Haha. I don't know if I'll ever run out of the Earl's Vault! Will the Earl be bankrupt first, will your throat fly first, or if you want to test it, please test it! ”
An Earl in the distance gapes at you.
“Why are you letting me test my vault? I just donated my donation to a religious scholar. Phew. It's so hard to be a merchant, whether it's the outside world or a tower. · · ”
“· · · In other words. ”
A cold voice came in. A witch. Second ranking hunter, guild leader of the Black Dragon, broke the silence he had been defending.
The witch looks at the sword with her expressionless face.
“The joint won't end with four. I'll make it clear that I'll be joining you. Hunter Kim made a formal pact with us yesterday, under the supervision of the five guilds. ”
The sword frowns.
“Convention?”
“Yes. Agreement. ”
The witch nods.
“Duke Hunter did not belong to a particular guild, but joined all five. In return, we promised him equal treatment as guild leader. Sword. If you're aiming your sword at Duke Hunter, it's like attacking all of us. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
“Of course, I mean 'us’, which means the five guilds. ”
The witch took out the mirror.
“Black Dragon. Refinement. Manchurian Temple. Vigilantes.”
The mirror came to mind for itself. And he flew around in the air. One, two. Three. Together, six mirrors wander around the witch like a hound trying to protect its master.
“Are you sure you can handle all of us, Sword? ”
Phew.
Five Hunters point their weapons at the Sword in unison.
“ · · · · · ·. ”
The old prosecutor was silent.
Yes, it is.
‘No matter how powerful the sword is. ’
Right now.
"You can't be strong enough to turn all five guilds against one another. ’
For this moment, I made a pact with the guild leaders.
One day I might become stronger than the sword. No, I'll let them come. But it wasn't the day that would come today or tomorrow. Then we'll have no choice but to make a move until that day.
I smiled in my heart.
Remember what I said on the 11th floor? ’
- What do you mean?
‘There are two ways to deal with powerful enemies. ’
Or become an army strong enough to chew through enemies on its own.
Or build an army against me.
‘Sword is just a solo player. ’
But I was different.
‘I already have allies. ’
Therefore, at least now, if I would fight with the sword, it would have been my prerequisite.
See? This is what I'm talking about. Admire me quickly. "
- Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
The messenger sighs.
However, his expression was not surprisingly bad. I didn't come up to the 12th floor without thinking, but I was quite satisfied with the fact that I had a plan in mind. I was very worried about this ghost.
I took a step forward.
“Swordsman.”
Hunters in the throne room stared at me. Among them were the eyes of the sword. I deliberately smiled to relax.
And I looked at the sword in front of me.
“Can I talk to you for a second? ”
Listen to me, it's the Prince.
