SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
37. Tinnitus of the Warrior. (1)
1.
Last time.
It was at the end of the tower's tutorial early.
- Warriors.
- Climbing the tower.
Hunters shout out loud countdowns in the square. The goddess came down above such a square. The goddess solemnly recited it as a priest who prays.
- From the 11th floor to the 20th floor.
- You will face trial.
- The test of faith.
Hunters do not listen to the voice of the goddess.
A new era. A new stage.
I was so excited that the stage that I had been waiting for has finally opened, that you and I hurried up to the 11th floor. There was even a hunter who was testing if the goddess cut into a knife.
- You will find the answer.
But...
- The answer you have found will be to find out who you are again.
I didn't.
I stayed until the end, so I heard.
- So you will know yourself.
He's thinking about it now.
By then, we had already received revelation.
What will happen on the 12th floor?
- Climbing the tower.
All we had to worry about was what we were getting paid. What we had to consider was not who to doubt. The tower only suggested that the answers we found were important.
- Good luck to you all.
The goddess was just quietly praying.
Now, when we get back to the 12th floor,
I nodded, shaking my head at the sight of that moment.
And I said,
“I'll clear up to 20 floors in five days. ”
The answer I have decided.
2.
My son-in-law is silent.
The first to speak was the owner of the Black Dragon.
“Wait a minute. 5 days · ·? ”
The witch was confused.
“Am I hearing this wrong? I thought you said you were gonna hit the 20th floor in five days. If you're joking, pass it on. It's not very interesting. ”
“No, you heard the man. I'm not kidding.”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
The witch keeps her lips shut.
The silence that landed in the throne room gradually spread. Hunters' expressions have changed. Who looks ridiculous, who looks unreliable, and who looks like he doesn't know how to react · ·.
‘Course this is how it works. ’
I confidently faced the gaze of every hunter.
It's a nonsensical declaration.
“· · · That's impossible. Kim Gong-ja.”
A moment later, the witch said.
“You know, it took us years to clear 10 floors. Of course, I just hit the 11th floor in less than an hour, so I can overwhelm myself, but · · too much. Too much confidence. Isn't that a little overzealous? ”
“Black Dragon Juice.”
I bow my head.
“Please.”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
“I raided the 10th floor. It's not an ambush for you. I just cleared it because I wanted to succeed. However, I shared with you the rewards and achievements of my raid on the 10th floor. ”
Information that a group war is about to take place.
A minimap showing the location of the boss monsters.
I shared information that minimized damage to the guilds.
“- Not just me, but all of us. ”
Therefore, we can say confidently.
“I have a right to ask you. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
“I'm not asking you to wait until you clear the 20th floor. Five days. Whether I succeed or fail to target the 20th floor, just wait five days. This is my request. ”
Silence fell on the throne room.
It was never a silence that felt disadvantageous to me.
I didn't know it was because of that.
[Welcome, Duke Kim.]
[You targeted the 11th floor to 1st place.]
[You will be rewarded for clearing the 11th floor.]
I heard the beep a lot faster than the last time I heard it.
You were rewarded only after the sword was finished. It took a long time. On the other hand, it was different this time. As soon as I opened the door, the story of the reward rose to the surface.
‘Hello.’
It's as if I'm urgently trying to get my attention and attention.
[Goddess of Protection offers you a reward.]
[The Fall Rain Demon King offers you a reward.]
The beep rang in succession.
I didn't choose any reward.
I just laughed in my heart.
Are we in a hurry because we're not fighting, Demon King? ’
Soon, the goddess's reward and the Demon King's reward came to my mind. Hylea. I gave you one look. I did not show any interest or interest beyond that.
[The Fall Rain Demon King recommends that you choose a reward.]
I heard a voice in my head.
[The Fall Rain Demon King suggests that he might give up the reward altogether.]
Several times. Keep going.
My attitude has not changed.
‘Hurry up or don't. ’
It was steadily sturdy as wooden stone.
The role of the goddess as a reward did not concern me with what the Demon King offered as a reward.
I literally ignored it.
[The Fall Rain Demon King wonders.]
[The Fall Rain Demon King doesn't understand your concern.]
It's okay. Don't be rash.
If you keep riding, I'll find you myself.
“Hmm · · · ·. ”
There was silence in the throne room. The Inquisitor looks around and laughs. I felt like I decided to say it first.
“The problem is simple! Kim Gong-ja Hunter shared aggressive information with us on the 11th floor. In return, we asked you to do us a favor, and we made a pact to do it unless it was impossible! ”
The Inquisitor grins.
“Do nothing for five days, everyone, wait here. If you think about going crazy in the press for 5 days, it's not just a simple request, but it's also not an impossible request! So I vote yes! ”
“Of course not an impossible request · · ·. ”
“A promise is a promise! Black Dragon Juice!”
The witch's face is blurred.
She gasps a few times and finally sighs.
“Yes. A promise is a promise. ”
I actually said yes to my request.
The rest of the Hunters, in turn, agreed to my request. Witches and Inquisitors. The most sophisticated Hunters and the most intelligent Hunters here have joined together. Hunters, who are not guild leaders, were surrounded by atmosphere and promised a 5-day silence.
“I never took part in such promises. ”
Except for the oldest high-level hunter here.
“This man has only one promise. I'll be watching the young man for the next five days. There's no reason to do anything else. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
“If you're leaving to clear the 20th floor, I'm just following your lead, as promised. ”
“Hmm."
I nodded.
“Yes, I'm fine. ”
From now on, I will face the Demon King alone.
I'm confident I can win alone, but if I have a swordsman behind me, I've got a thousand more allies. You don't have to refuse to follow me.
I looked around the throne room.
“Thank you for doing this. Gentlemen."
Then I slowly turned around.
“I'll see you in five days. ”
Margin-.
I opened the gate of the throne room and went on.
Beyond the gates was a vast palace. Walking out of the palace led to high walls, and even beyond those walls, the capital of the Ai Kim Empire is now open.
I've already overlooked it once in the last round.
- Uh-oh?
But it was different.
The NPCs are all frozen.
The messenger walked around with me and looked everywhere.
The messenger was right.
Even the NPC of the knight guarding the palace. A street NPC that sells fruit in its own backyard. Even a guard NPC who patrols with a dull face. All NPCs from the palace to the city have been frozen silently.
‘It's because the quest has not started. ’
It was the time the pause button was pressed.
I burst, burst, and crossed the frozen road.
The sword was following me from afar.
- Quests?
‘Yes, nobody has selected [role] yet. ’
There is no Chancellor in the Empire. There is no Knight Leader.
They're supposed to be the most important countries in the world.
This was a quest from the 12th floor to the 20th floor that Hunters were replacing.
‘As soon as I entered the 11th floor stage, I was given a quest first. Maybe that's the right order. But you didn't hesitate for a long time on the 12th floor? What quest takes you so long to get? ’
The quest was only opened after the role was selected first.
That is.
‘If you don't choose a role, you won't start the quest either. There are no Demon Lord invasions, and no Imperial Army fights an invasion. ’
So NPCs are frozen.
And it will continue to stop.
‘Unless we choose a role. ’
Some kind of trigger.
The conditions under which the top attackers choose a role themselves will trigger the start of the quest.
‘By the way, swordsman, ’
I crossed the street. As the passers-by stand still in their respective positions, I curl around the gap between the passers-by and the passers-by and get out. It's like walking through a maze.
As I walked through the labyrinth of the human body, a constant ringing rang in my mind.
[The Fall Rain Demon King recommends that you choose a reward.]
Ignored.
[If the Fall Rain Demon King will not choose a reward, I recommend giving it up at all. In that case, the right to choose a reward will be passed on to the next plaintiff.]
I ignored it and walked.
[Fall Rain Demon King urges you to make a choice!]
Finally, I walked out the gate.
Across the Imperial City, a vast plain unfolds.
‘What if? What do you think happens when the Demon King dies in this state? ’
- I'm sorry?
I saw it in my eyes.
A minimap illuminated by the blessing of the battlefield.
A single red dot that is definitely shining on a translucent map.
At this point, the red dot was the only thing that meant that no monster had been summoned yet.
‘What if the boss monster dies before the quest starts? ’
The Demon King.
"It's simple. No one will be able to choose the Demon King's reward. ’
- · · · · · ·.
‘Of course, the traitor will not come out. It's just, you know, it gets out before it even gets a little tricky. ’
I crossed the plains. You walk in a straight line towards the red dot. Soon after, I arrived just before the red dot. A short walk away marked the location of the boss monster.
[The Fall Rain Demon King is angry with you!]
Now I realize my intentions.
It wasn't until I got here that I heard a slightly different voice in my head.
[The Fall Rain Demon King is manifesting!]
The sky in front of my eyes was black. A black hole opens up like a black hole, and a gushing stream of amniotic fluid spills out from it.
One drop, one lump. One lump.
The ginseng fluids accumulate to form gradually, and voices leak out of the shape.
- Dare.
The Demon King was furious.
- Step in the right order, goddess warrior. It's foolish to come here without any choice. Only he who inherits the crown of the empire deserves my sword.
“What nonsense. ”
I squeezed the knife sack.
“I made the right choice. ”
- What?
“Look, this is the best option. ”
The time at which the quest has not started yet.
The Imperial City has not yet been invaded by the Demon King's army.
So, a world where no human being dies.
“Demon King. I'll kill you before the quest begins. Then not one hunter will die, not one empire. Of course, there are no traitors. ”
- · · · · · ·.
“Do you understand? A happy ending without sacrifice. ”
I smiled.
“I've always had a bad ending. Is it because of your personality? I like happy endings, if possible. I'm sorry to interrupt your happy ending, but please die. ”
- Dare.
The Demon King's body twitches.
- How dare you try to stop me! Without the help of the Empire!
“Yes."
I drew my sword.
You aim your blade at the black figure.
“Help is no help. ”
Wide plains.
In the middle of a frozen and frozen world.
My sword turned into a single strike and aimed at the enemy.
I opened my mouth.
“A warrior is supposed to fight alone. ”
The 5 Days of Eternity began.
