SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

The moment I saw the eyes of Lepanta Aikim, I was speechless.

"What are those eyes doing? ’

I've met all kinds of people. I met someone who wields a sword colder than snow. The bag met someone who held a cooler heart than S. But the look in the man's eyes was the first time I saw him.

White trash.

Beyond the fact that there are no emotions -- no memories, no smiles. There was not even a trace of emotion.

“Er... ”

[I'm impressed by your long, shiny relationship!]

When I hesitated what to say, the Sword responded first.

[However, the glittering still does not understand why the former owner betrayed himself. I wonder if I should get angry before I get impressed!]

“... you have a strange sword. ”

Lepanta Aikim lowered my waist. There, the Sword trembled, marking its intentions violently. I was intrigued by Lepanta Aikim's expressionless gaze.

“A sword. Or Ego Sword.... it's best to hide as much as possible that you have unique items here, stranger. There are many hyenas who aim for the skills and equipment of beginners who just entered the 50th floor. ”

"Huh?"

I was surprised.

It was strange. Lepanta Aikim's tone was as if she had never seen [Goddess of Protection] before. If the young man in front of him were truly fatal, he would not be able to see through the identity of this sword.

“Excuse me. Don't you recognize this sword? ”

I unsheathed the main sword on my waist and showed it to Le Fanta Aikim. As I pull out the blade slightly, the bright light flows from the blade like a glow.

"Hmm."

However.

Lepanta Aikim faced the light of the sword and the sign of the constellation she once used to cast as an animal... but narrowed her glance like a stranger.

“I don't know.”

The sculptural face tilts sideways.

“It seems to have something in common with me. I don't remember.... No, it would be wise not to expect past relationships from me. ”

“Yes?”

And Le Fanta Aikim said something unexpected.

“I have amnesia. Stranger. I don't remember anything more than a week ago. ”

The man was expressing a bold expression.

3.

- It's dangerous to keep talking in this wasteland. Follow me. I know a relatively safe bar.

Lepanta Aikim said so and guided me. I stepped foot on the 50th floor for the first time, so I took care of him.

“Hey... ”

“Look over there. It's lethal.”

On the way to the bar, I encountered some hunters. Maybe all of them are hunters who fly around the world with nothing. But even those hunters took a step back, shaking their shoulders.

“What the hell is this maniac trying to do...? ”

“Will the spiders of the tower be quiet today? ”

“Shh. I don't want anything to do with him... ”

It wasn't just the hunters who were moaning.

[The ‘Lonely Seeker’ is interested in someone I've never seen before.]

[The Eye in the Labyrinth is alert to the companion of Killer.]]

[‘The Eternal Plains Horse’ recognizes you.]

[‘Lotus on the Sleep’ observes you.]

Tons of constellations.

The constellations I have met so far have been limited. If I wasn't the ruler of each floor, I wouldn't have a constellation trying to contact me. But does this also change from the 50th floor? The constellations you've never heard of reveal a true presence.

“... It's annoying. ”

Lepanta Aikimdo coldly mutters if she senses messages from the constellations.

“Piss off. If there are any annoying constellations left behind, I will find and kill his Apostle from now on. If you want war, keep fighting. Last warning."

The message of the constellations was cut off as Lepanta Aikim murmured. The air around us is lighter.

"It's louder than usual. Hah..."

Lepanta Aikim sighed a little and looked at me.

“Some of them seem to be interested in you. Stranger, did you do something to the constellations? ”

“Uh. I killed an apostle who followed [Eternal Plain Warrior]. ”

“…… the Apostle of Mahjong? ”

The tone of her eyebrows changed. He takes out his old notebook from his arms, reads something, and bends his eyebrows in surprise.

“You're better than you look. The apostles of Mahjong excel at martyrdom without exception. Plus, I'm surrounded by annoying blessings. It couldn't have been easy... How did you kill him? ”

“I have something else to say about that. ”

We went to a bar.

Lepanta Aikim described it as a 'relatively safe bar’ as a sidewalk bar. There were no walls, just tables and bars outside. It was wide open, but funnily enough, the door stood still.

“... Is this a safe bar? ”

“The view is not obscured by the wall. ”

Lepanta Aikim confidently discussed the advantages of this bar.

“You can retreat any time you're ambushed. There is no risk of being trapped in a terrorist attack on the building. The downside is it makes it easier to get shot. Master, give me what I've been drinking. ”

“Hey. Did you know that after the building flew away, you ran the shop as a runway...? ”

The bald bartender mutters in disdain. Le Fanta Ai Kim suddenly sat at the table.

“I'm sorry, I don't remember. ”

“Hey, young man. Whatever it is, don't get involved with that maniac. There are over 600 hunters in this area trying to kill him. If you're not suicidal, don't get involved. ”

Lepanta Aikim took out her notebook again.

“There are 1127, to be exact. There are only three Hunters who can actually threaten me. One of them hasn't been heard from since he went missing 154 years ago. Technically, it would be safer for a stranger to be with me than not be with me. ”

“Bastard…. ”

The bald bartender looks bored.

It seems that Fat Fat is famous for being a lunatic on the 50th floor.

“So, what are you going to tell me? ”

“…… I'm a little embarrassed that you have amnesia. ”

I slowly said what I had been going through.

That your reign of Child Kim had nearly been destroyed. The cause of destruction is not only because you sealed the Goddess of Protection, but because it allowed the Fall Rain King to grow.

What you've done has cost [a thousand drinks] and put [the story of the Sormwyn Academy] in danger....

He told me everything.

"......."

Lepanta Aikim carefully listened to my voice while drinking a mysterious red drink. His face remained unchanged throughout the story. Sometimes I just take out my notebook and check something.

"… indeed. ”

Lepanta Aikim nods.

"I've heard a lot about you. And based on my diary, most of the things you've said are true. ”

"A diary?”

"A storeroom that holds my memories. ”

Lepanta Aikim showed me her notebook.

There were inscriptions.

"It may look like a normal notebook, but it is the sacred relic of the constellation [Great Puppy]. Infinite ground and searchability. I write here what I did every day. I may have amnesia, but I won't lose my life. ”

"......."

"Like you said. ”

LeFanta Aichim bluntly said.

“In the past I built a country called the Aikim Empire. ”

It's like someone else's story.

“There I sealed the constellation [Goddess of Protection] for the rest of my life. The world you mentioned is like the one on page 236. That's where you killed Huanglongs, who stay in the Great Lakes. The world of [The story of the Sormwyn Institute] is similar to that recorded on page 3215. ”

"......."

“A fragment of a goddess with an heirloom... A sacrificial sword? I've slept with certain foods in that world. Perhaps the woman you met, Raviel Ivandia, is most likely a distant descendant of me and her. You said it was the same silver hair as me... I'm sure of it. It's a performance.”

Something.

“You have skills like [Black History] or [Historian], so you may have read my past. ”

Something doesn't add up.

“I don't have a past to read. There's no way I could have stolen this relic and read it. It's written as a password that only I can recognize. Thus, a stranger. I admit that all your testimonies are true. ”

I've come to ask a man for his sins.

An innocent man has suffered the consequences of your good faith. I've come to tell you that countless people have been sacrificed.

But what is this?

“So.”

How do you ask a sin you don't even remember?

“What reward do you want from me? ”

My heart started to rage.

“What reward? ”

“A reward for pointing out my faults. ”

“… you know what you did wrong? ”

“Of course.”

He said.

“My fault is both. First, we did not think about the possibility of a new constellation being born again in a world where the constellation disappeared. Second, he despised the fact that the dead constellations could curse the world. ”

I am.

“Is that all? ”

“It is the intention of the part where the constellation can invade from another world through the death of the constellation. No matter how many constellations rule the world, killing them will be the end of it. There is no problem in decreasing the number of constellations. Therefore, my fault stops with the two things mentioned above. ”

When he finished speaking, he took out a pen and wrote something on the notebook.

“I entered. The same error will not occur later. I put my reward in my mouth to thank you for this advice. ”

Advice.

Thank you.

“Mincho, who lived in the river, turned into a river and died. ”

Twitch.

A sword tied to its waist and quietly trembled as it listened to our conversation.

The furnace coming from my heart remembered my voice.

“Among them, there was an elderly man who floated his boat and said he didn't want to harm others even as he was dying. There was an open niche, struggling to live to the end, taking care of children of their own age. ”

"......."

“One by one it was a terrible death. Let me ask you something, Killian. What do you think about that? ”

“Nothing.”

Le Fanta Aikim said.

“As I said, it must be my fault that I didn't get to the aftermath of the constellation. But mistakes happen. As I said, the reward for correcting that mistake is all I can do. ”

“Ha."

The red error that surrounded me became a little more intense.

“And in return, will you die if you ask me to die here?" ”

“I can't give you that reward. ”

The man with silver hair shakes his head.

“I have a duty to destroy all the constellations. Until I fulfill that duty, I must continue to operate. ”

It was more like a machine. The sparkle trembles.

I am.

“That's a great duty. Why did you have to carry that burden? ”

“I can't answer that. ”

“Here's another prediction. Why? Because I don't understand that virtuous duty? ”

“He also cannot answer. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

I stared at him coldly.

“Can you at least answer this? If you have to destroy the constellation like that, why are you using the Holy Relic of the constellation? I don't think it fits. ”

“That's an answerable question. I will destroy all the constellations and destroy them. ”

“You learned from the Fall Rain Demon King that killing a constellation can create a constellation again. What are you going to do with that? ”

“I have an idea about that. ”

“What is it?”

“I can't say. ”

I looked at the diary.

“That's a long story. Let's get back to business.”

“This is my mainframe. ”

“Not to me. Tell me your reward."

Reward.

“I can't let you die like I said before. My duties are not yet over, and cannot be fulfilled as a reward."

Perhaps he read the articles on the first page of the journal.

“I can't quit. I have abandoned my duties. I am nothing. ”

The first page that he wrote down before he lost all his memories.

“So tell me about the other rewards. I'll listen.”

"......."

Yeah, it is.

There won't be much to talk about in the world.

I reached for the dagger and stopped on the way. Instead, I took out the folded handkerchief in my arms. You buried your nose briefly in that handkerchief with Raviel's blue scent.

Mmm-hmm.

“…… good. ”

The anger subsides.

I fiercely activated the accident. How do I [hunt] a hunter so powerful that he can't even compare to me?

My head soon came up with an answer.

“Then do me a favor. ”

It's simple.

Hunting a hunter stronger than me isn't the first time.

“What?”

“Keep [whatever happens while I'm on the 50th floor] safe. ”

I put the handkerchief away.

“I'm not just talking about saving lives. Please also carefully protect my body and mind. Of course, the trick of forcibly evicting me from the 50th floor is forbidden. ”

“…… Are you asking me to protect you? ”

“Something like that.”

Killer City was troubled.

He grabbed the fountain pen and knocked on the table.

“I don't know what you're thinking. Having heard your story so far, you are a very righteous man. It's not just justice, it's power and fur. The offer just did not match your personality. ”

“Aha. You mean you can't do me a favor?" ”

I laughed.

“I can't die. You said you couldn't abandon your duty. Now you can't even ask me to protect you on the 50th floor? That's amazing, you. So, what kind of reward can you give me? ”

“…… I'm just worried about what traps are lurking in your offer. ”

“If there's a trap, what? You seem confident in your skills. Break through.”

"......."

Lepanta Aikim carefully lowered her diary.

“I see.”

He moved the fountain pen. Ugh, Zec. His hand was on the diary.

“I'll write down your proposal on page one. Until my existence is complete, your proposition will become my thinking logic and behavioral logic to move me. ”

Okay. Okay.

I got caught.

‘Sword man. ’

I turned to the messenger.

- Huh?

150 years ago, you knocked that tower down. ’

A prominent background as soon as you fall here.

Referring to the towers soaring in the gray sky, the messenger said:

They used to have six towers!

But I broke one of them.

"If they find out that I've come back as a ghost, they'll be amazed.

The messenger nods.

I've done some pretty good things in my life, and I've done some pretty good things in six fingers.

What did you say when you broke it? Do you remember? ’

Carrots! I remember every Saturday.

The messenger smiles.

- Hello, bottles. Sometimes you have to be ventilated and alive, because like you, you can't use it if you're stuck in your room all the time. I'm in the mood! I'll give you a free remodel today! Haha.

The messenger suddenly tilted his head, reminiscing about the glory of the past.

- Why is that? What are you going to do?

I turned my gaze to the spire.

Apparently.

Shut up.

- Hey? Zombies?

The messenger said to me,

- Don't look there, if you look there for more than 23 seconds? We can't afford them on four levels now. Or what? You're asking them to get rid of him? Arthur, they don't run to guys with soft feet. We're losing each other.

I continue to look at the towers that stand in the distance.

- Huh? Hey, zombie Kim! I said look away!

But it's too late.

Ah, ah. Microphone test. Microphone test. Who are you looking at?

A beep rang in my head.

As the messenger pointed out, the spire sensed my presence.

You look like a kid who hasn't even taken his clothes off yet. He's still a rookie, I'll tell you that. If you want to stay in this town for the rest of your life, don't look around here. I'm going to die.

A voice full of weariness. Someone said, like a bureaucrat who doesn't want to work.

Oh, you're with the crazy guy in the constellation? Chuckle. Bad luck. Can I send you an instant escape scroll with a 30-year subcontract now?

“Hello."

I opened my mouth.

“Bottlenecks.”

"Oww? Where did this bastard hit me now...?

“Sometimes you have to be ventilated and alive, because like you, you can't use it if you're stuck in your room all the time. ”

.......

“Here, I feel it. I'll give you a free remodel today. Haha."

Silence.

It was completely silent.

- Sister.

The messenger mutters dainty.

- Are you crazy?

It was that moment.

Yuck, yuck, yuck!

A tearing noise erupts from the five spires. It was as if the fingernails of five fingers scratched the sky. The bald bartender drops his glass in shock. Hunters who were on and off the streets were also deafening.

“What, what?! ”

“What's happening now……"

And...

- Swordsmanship!

A huge voice echoes through the gray sky.

- You're back, Sword! I knew you'd come back! When all the constellations announced your death, I didn't doubt it as much as any of us believed you were a dead son of a bitch! Possession or rebirth? That's it! It doesn't matter!

All the hunters were stunned and looked up at the sky.

We'll kill as many of you as you! I'll tear your soul apart and scatter it all over the world and shit on it! Kill! Kill!! Kill him now! Cast the name and history of the Horse Tower and pursue him to hell!

Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of shadows rise from the spire.

They were all lined up from above, riding on broomsticks.

“Here. ’’

I took a look around.

The silver-haired man looked at me with a expressionless face.

“You promised?”

"......."

“Protect me. ”

Meteor showers poured from the sky.
