SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

“· · · Conversation? ”

“Yes, I'm embarrassed, to be honest. ”

The throne room. A 12-story stage with a motif of an imperial palace. In the middle of it, my voice came out.

“I don't know why the sword is attacking me. You're the first to see me, but I've always admired your stubborn sword. But you're holding a machete, so it's embarrassing. ”

The sword looks stiff.

Even though I'm only telling the truth now.

‘It's the only way. ’

There was a reason for the old man's face to solidify.

The day I first encountered the sword. Now, on the night that I don't remember the sword, the sword went off like this as soon as I saw it.

- I didn't know you were an assassin sent from a black dragon.

- I don't know who hired you or the Witch of the Black Dragon, but I will kill you with all my might!

He suspected me of being an assassin.

‘An assassin raised from a black dragon. ’

The sword must still be suspicious. I'm an assassin who's been under the control of a black dragon and had countless blood on his hands. No, you may have more serious doubts.

"A super assassin secretly bred in five guilds. ’

- Mm-hmm.

The messenger nods.

From a third party standpoint, zombies are a little weird for you.

‘Exactly. ’

A new hero at an unexpected time!

Hunters of only E rank attack the impregnable stage. Even after the raid was over, he made a pact with five guilds and was promised equal treatment to the guild leaders · ·.

‘It's too suspicious. ’

Grandpa Marcus thinks you're not a self-made hunter. A fake hero made by the guilds. Tsk tsk.

The messenger kicks his tongue.

You said your kill count was roughly 4090.

It's probably up at 4093 right now. ’

The number 4093 isn't just the number of humans you killed. Because you weren't a lone hunter, you were raised to be a servant of a massive guild.

In the swordsmanship's view, it is the only way to shine.

- In sum · · · ·.

"Yes."

In the middle of nowhere.

‘It would seem that the Giant Guilds have assassinated me. ’

A giant guild reigning in a tower.

They've assassinated at least 4093 humans.

It's a misunderstanding and a delusion, but for that old man, it's going to be absolutely disgusting.

“Huh.”

If the Sword had been a little less righteous, he would have retreated from here.

“The outside world and Babylon are no different. ”

But the sword did not know compromise.

I knew it, but I refused.

“After entering the tower, you've been throwing pranks at me for days. I want you to join the guild. But I strongly refused. Do you know why? ”

The Sword empowers the hilt. The old man's hands are old. The flesh grows thinner. However, the bloodline, which is exposed beyond the skin, is not even a little old.

A lion's mane may be old, but the lion's teeth are sharp.

“In this tower, in the new world, I wanted to show that I could rule the summit on my own. ”

The sword is blue, and you stare at the left with frightening eyes.

“Bloodline. Citizenship. I'm from. Unlike the stinking outside world surrounded by such things, this place has enough infancy with just one sword. You can succeed only with your talents and efforts. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“In order to put that hope in everyone's hands, I have never been part of a team. But what were you doing? ”

The sword is pointed at the tip of the blade.

“You are nothing but rotten mud. ”

The guild masters shudder.

Anger. Humiliation. Grudge.

The feelings of silence surrounded the guild leaders' faces. What the sword just said was a declaration of war. Some sighed as if they were nothing like the Inquisitors, but the majority of guild leaders frowned.

“Swordsmanship. You don't know anyone else but yourself. ”

“Ha! I forgot I was the only one missing when I raided the fifth floor! Grandpa, it looks like dementia has ruined my head! ”

“I know. Mr. Calenberry, if you'd used the connections of the outside world to help us, we'd have a lot less food difficulty now, and our level of sophistication. ”

Ausung is boiling.

Hunters gathered here have been seeing faces since the beginning of the tower. Are there a lot of things piled up together? As emotions and emotions collided, the air in the throne room became cloudy in an instant.

“If you were in first place, you should have shown the best position. But you did well on your own. I lived alone. Do you have any idea how many hunters I could have saved if you hadn't been such a snob? ”

The Witch of the Black Dragon said as if it were a curse.

“Not just the fifth floor. The seventh floor, the ninth floor. If Grandpa cooperated, the damage would be reduced by half! ”

The Celestial Moon Serpent lives.

“An adult who was part of a charlatan in the outside world. If you had used your hands, the system would have landed more stable. We're rotten dirt? Good. Then you're an irresponsible child. ”

The Earl of Swinging stares ferociously.

What a mess.

Despite facing the curse, living and gazing of the guild masters, the sword frowned once. One word that the old man spit out grew more and more fire.

“Shut up.”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Grown-ups talk about it. You think I'm your grandfather? Put it away. Come at me with your sword. ”

The air in the throne room has become unstoppable.

That's Grandpa Marcus. He's my only student.

Only the messenger admires the atmosphere without knowing it.

Hunters are connections, so it's politics, not as extreme as bragging. If you have time to care about that, swing your sword again!

It made sense.

But · · ·.

Unlike the messenger, I felt sorry for him first.

“Even when there's only ten of us. ”

Hunters stared at me in a volatile situation.

I sighed.

“Even the NPCs on the 11th floor fought united to defend the Empire. But look, it's not your fault we hunters are pointing fingers at evil. Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing if it wasn't more than NPC? ”

· · · Hunter Kim Gong-ja. ”

The witch opened her mouth.

“This has nothing to do with you. Worse than you think. ”

“I know, I know. If his name is Hunter, he's got other things to do. ”

I looked around the throne room.

“Let's focus on clearing from the 12th floor. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“It's nice to give people hope, and it's nice to have as few victims as possible to target the tower, and it's all good. Please try to clear the stage in front of you. ”

I specifically said, looking at the sword.

“Even though it's just an NPC, · · · their empire is at risk of being destroyed? He asked for help. If people summoned as warriors don't care about the safety of the empire and just fight amongst themselves, what's the big deal? ”

“You · · · ·. ”

I meant what I said.

The sword could no longer be a threat to my life here. The difference in power was obvious. So my only concern now is how to clear the 12th floor.

Complex emotional fights and political struggles between hunters were out of interest.

“What's so special about a warrior? Solve what no one else has solved for you, and that's the warrior. You've cleared the 11th floor, so let's do the rest of the stages. ”

“Duke Kim is right. ”

Fortunately, there was a hunter who listened to me.

Paladin.

The vice guild leader of the vigilantes takes a step forward.

“It's hard to understand why the sword attacked Duke Kim. At least now is not the time for us to quarrel. Everyone was so excited. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The paladin intervenes. But no one has opened the gates. Swordsmanship, Serpent, Earl, Inquisitor of heresy and even more posed to attack the opponent.

Everyone believed in each other to persuade only words.

because of the emotions that have accumulated and accumulated over the years.

“Ha.”

The paladin sighs if he realizes it.

“Good. I can't help it. I'm willing to sacrifice a little. ”

The Hunters turn to you when the word "sacrifice."

While his gaze was focused, he recited the paladin in small words.

“Skill card open. ”

Pa!

Light rises faintly from the paladin's hands. After a while, a silver card appeared in the air.

A card that no one else will ever see unless Hunter gives his permission. It was a skill card owned by the paladin.

“· · Deputy Assistant Director. ”

The witch was concerned about the paladin. The top ranker never reveals his skill card. Skills are Hunter's weapon of the spleen. Showing it clearly to others was like guilt.

“Never mind. It doesn't matter. ”

However, the paladin turned the cards upside down.

“Take a good look, everyone. ”

[Lie Detector]

Rank: A-

Effect: See if the other person is lying or not. Applies to NPCs and monsters as well as humans! However, it may be objectively false that the other person thought it was the truth. Faith? Doubt? The final choice is always up to you.

However, there is no guarantee that people will believe you.

+

I opened my eyes wide.

Lie detector! ’

It was once a skill that Salt had deceived him. The paladin had it, not the plague.

"This is too good for the Deputy Vigilante Leader! ’

The vigilantes were a guild to maintain security. Of course, the tower was infested with criminals. Look at you now. You killed me in a place without people's eyes, even if you were ranked # 1 in salt and swords.

This is a world where [lie detectors] can be incredibly useful in identifying criminals.

“You see.”

The paladin grabbed the card and said:

“I have the ability to recognize their lies. Even if it's a skill that elevated me to the Vice Chief of the Vigilante, it's no exaggeration. Sword.”

“· · What? ”

“If you can trust me, ask Duke Kim anything right now. I'll tell you if Duke Kim's answer is false or true. ”

The paladin glanced at me in shifts with his grave gaze.

“So are you, Duke Kim. If you believe me, I can assure you whether you are lying or truthful. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Doubt is the poison that feeds on humans, and truth is the most powerful antidote. We cannot regain the trust we have lost so far, but we will be able to cooperate on at least the 12th floor. ”

“Hmm · · · ·. ”

The sword rubs its beard and worries.

‘Wow.'

I thought about it myself.

It's a dog.

This is our best chance.

I was lucky not to think about it. But · · · this was the right answer. In the beginning, I became suspicious because of my swordsmanship skills, the so-called [wisdom of the detective]. You got your suspicions because of your skills, so you can clear your suspicions with your skills!

“I like it. ”

I immediately answered.

People who accept these things first get the advantage.

“· · · Paladin Lady. You're the only person here who hasn't harmed anyone. Good. I'll believe it. ”

Swordsmanship was also meaningful and accepted.

The paladin nods.

“Both agree. Then ask Prince Kim. I will stake my honor, the reputation of the vigilantes, and prove your answer fairly. ”

“Hmm."

The sword stared at me.

The face of the sword was splendid, as if it had waited only for this moment. Maybe you figured out that I was a horrible bad guy. After all, it was the look of certainty.

- Gosh.

The messenger hisses next to you.

- Oh, my God, Grandpa Marcus. Old timer, this is why I'm telling you not to rely too much on your skills or zombies. Those who live by skill will be betrayed by skill one day! Oh, my God.

‘Please be quiet. ’

Unfortunately, the voice of the messenger did not reach the sword. This ghost son of a bitch was my ghost.

“Hunter Kim. ”

“Yes.”

“You have killed over 4,000 humans. I don't think so."

Whoops!

The old man pointed at me with his bare hands. I don't know what to say. It's like, "What do you think? Now is the time for your evil deeds to be known in every way! 'I felt like I was shouting.

I smiled.

“Yes.”

“Oh, look at that! You bastards of the world. I must tell the world what you've done using this subterfuge as assassins. ”

“That's a lie.”

The paladin said.

“What?"

“That's a lie.”

The paladin once again speaks in his grave.

“Didn't Duke Kim answer ‘yes’ to the question you just asked. The answer was false. In summary, Duke Kim did not kill over 4,000 humans. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Any more questions? ”

Silence.

Only the paladin tilts his head as he shuts his mouth.

“But 4,000. Strange. Can a man kill a man like that? Common sense suggests it's almost impossible. ”

“Well, that's because you raised this young man to be a great assassin. ”

I smiled brightly.

“Yes, I am a great assassin. ”

“That's a lie.”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The old prosecutor opens his mouth.

“Stop, paladin girl. I was wrong to see myself become you! But you believed that you could mediate all things without a lie! ”

“It's up to you whether you believe me or not. ”

The paladin spoke quietly.

“Trust me if you want to believe. If you don't believe me, don't believe me. That's why I asked you two the same thing in the first place. Will you really believe me? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“You're a little short-sighted to come and change your words. No, it's too small. Sword, that's not the way you usually behave. ”

“Gee, wait! ”

The old man stared at me urgently.

“Of course you didn't kill any humans! ”

“Oh, yeah. That's right. I got rid of someone else once. ”

The paladin nods.

“It's the truth."

“Look! ”

“But there's only one. ”

“· · · What? ”

The paladin nods again.

“It's the truth."

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Of course, killing one person doesn't change the fact that I'm a murderer. But, Mr. Sword. I can tell you this, even if I'm not very proud of it. He was worth killing for. Because he tried to kill me first. ”

“It's the truth."

“No, you just want to kill me. He's a massacre, a massacre. I even witnessed him commit murder, and, wow, burning people to death, not blinking an eye! That son of a bitch! ”

“It's the truth."

“I don't know, but he's killed dozens of people. No. Hundreds of them. Yeah, she deserves it. I killed a man who deserved it. You can curse if you want to call him a murderer. But you know what? If I go back in time, I'm gonna start with her. Wow. How can a human be as evil as he is? ”

The paladin nods slowly.

“It's all true. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The sword was silent.

The old man slowly looks around. I didn't know what was going on, but I think I figured it out by looking around.

Because the guild leaders are all ‘· · · What are you doing right now?’ I'm looking at the sword with my eyes.

“Hahaha! Hahaha! ”

The Inquisitor narrows his belly button.

“The Kim Gong-ja Hunter is the super assassin of our five guilds! Interesting idea. I wish I had, but swordsmanship! Unfortunately, we saw our first Kim Gong-ja Hunter yesterday! ”

“That, by the way, is also the truth. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The sword's silence deepens.

- Tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu.

The messenger wears only his tongue.

“Well, I gave you all the answers. ”

I laughed so hard.

None of what the Duke said was really wrong.

“Maybe there was a big misunderstanding between the two. I'm glad it was just a misunderstanding. By the way, there's a good chance that you attacked me because of that misunderstanding, and if you don't protect the guild leader, I'll die. It's really unfair.”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“I think I should hear the apology at this point. What do you think?”

The paladin nods.

“Perfect truth. There is no such thing as an Elixir of Infinity. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Apologize to Duke Kim. Sword.”

The soul leaves the old man's face.
