Transcend Race Due to System Error

< End of 158 coins (3) >

I took a little time.

July 28.

The day before the Dragon's Rest Area raid.

Before leaving, Unknown made his way to the lair of the Savior of Truth for a moment.

“Welcome. Boss.”

Maestro welcomes Unknown.

“Are you alone?”

“Yes, I am alone. ”

I don't feel any other movement inside the lair.

Saint will be working in the Church, and Trickster and Rust are away to take care of business.

Hermitt is overseeing the entire country under Unknown's orders.

Unknown closes his eyes and focuses for a moment. It was about checking where your magic was distributed. This action allows us to specify to some extent the target's location where the 'absolute obedience oath’ is placed.

Trickster's in England.

Rust is Brazilian.

Hermites Korea.

St. Paul's Church.

Unknown opens his eyes again, confirming that everyone is in their proper position.

Maestro thought, watching Unknown's placid expression.

‘Looks like Hermit is still in Korea. ’

If Hermite were in the United States, she wouldn't look like that.

‘There was no guarantee that Rust's words were true in the first place. Possibilities · · · · · · · This is a ploy to gain by alienating Hermit and me. ’

“David.”

I woke up from the memory of Unknown's call.

“Speak.”

“How long have you been working for me? ”

“Twelve years.”

“Twelve years. It's already happened. ”

Unknown blindly sweeps through the air.

“David, you've been very good for 12 years. ”

Unknown smiles and gazes at Maestro.

“· · · · · · · · Boss? ”

Maestro's eyes widened in a warm look I had never seen before.

“It is no exaggeration to say that thanks to you, the Master was able to obtain new experimental results. Thank you."

I was moved by Maestro's expression. I have never seen Unknown express his gratitude to anyone before.

“I don't know what to say. ”

Maestro kneels on one knee and bows.

“David. Once upon a time, I asked what exactly my abilities were. Do you remember?”

“· · · · · · · Example. ”

Maestro smiles bitterly.

This was a time when I was still very young. I asked him about Unknown's abilities without knowing the subject.

I was curious from Tokyo.

What is the source of Unknown's vast power? What kind of power made him so perfect? What his hidden power is.

Such curiosity.

“I thought he was a rascal. I didn't think you'd make it up here. ”

Unknown laughs a little.

“· · · · · · · · It's my embarrassing past. ”

Maestro smiles bitterly.

Looking at Maestro with a slightly red face, Unknown smiles again.

“My abilities have no formal title. That's why I named him. ”

“· · · · · · · · Boss? ”

Then I said something out of the blue.

“Predatory. Eating the target, gaining the ability of the target · · · · · · ·. Such ability.”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Maestro gives you a reasonable nod. With such abilities, it makes sense that Unknown's vast capabilities are too great.

Unknown stares at his right hand.

“It is actually a disgraceful and trembling force to be called ability. ”

“What is said · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

As I stared straight into Maestro's eyes, Unknown smiled.

“You wouldn't understand if I told you. ”

Maestro stared at Unknown with his eyes that he was not.

“I think I'd understand. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“But David. This is impossible with ’physical’, leaving without understanding it. ”

“I don't think you know that. ”

The pride incarnate, Maestro's voice, was slightly elevated.

“That's also true. Well, let me see if I understand. ”

Maestro raises one lip and says,

“□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ (I do not have the system.) ”

However, the voice was not heard by Maestro.

No, I heard, but I couldn't understand.

“· · · · · · Now, what? ”

“I see. You look the same. ”

Unknown shakes his head slightly.

Looking at the strange disappointed expression, Maestro chews his lips.

A moment of silence passed.

“David, do you remember the day I brought the child? ”

Then Unknown brings out a new topic.

“Yes, I remember. ”

“That day, you said. Why are you suddenly placing an unknown woman in the position of an executive? ”

“· · · · · · · Example. ”

“I answered. Because it's useful. ”

It's been over five years.

“Yes. The boss was right after all. Rust was a viable woman. ”

Maestro recognizes Rust's ability to infiltrate, but also his ability to gather information. The same goes for combat skills.

“From then on · · · · · · · in the favour of the boss who clearly understood Rust's potential. ”

“David.”

Unknown stops speaking to Maestro.

“That's not what the ‘usefulness’ of the child I spoke of. ”

Unknown's jaw twitches.

“A child's ability is rare. A third source of energy, not magical or physical strength. Ability to handle periodically. I just coveted that ability. ”

“· · · · · · · What does that mean? ”

“Yes, I joined the organization to ‘eat’ a child. ”

To do just that, I broke a woman's relationship with Shirakawa Ai. Devil driven, ambushed, and interrogated.

I manipulated both parents, leading them to the worst. In addition, 'Heterogeneity: Montma’ became a body that forcibly took away the ‘regular’ of the men around Sildon who liked it.

So the life of a woman named Shirakawa Ai was completely ruined.

And "Unnoun" picked up a child like that from Shirakawa.

Completely concealing what he did, looking like a kiddo, picking up an abandoned cat from his owner.

So I took Shirakawa's child into my arms.

Shirakawa Ai, who had nowhere else to go, joined an organization called the Life Savior of the Truth along the way.

This is the birthplace of an executive named Rust.

“Why do such a hassle? ”

Maestro asks with puzzled eyes. If Rust's ability had been coveted, he would have ‘eaten’ on the spot. Why would he do something like this?

“I needed time to digest the ‘food’ I swallowed before my child. In the meantime, I needed a place to tie the child up. ”

It was a fence that said it was a lifesaver of truth.

“And yesterday. The digestion is finally over. ”

“Then why did you move here today? ”

“Yes, for a ‘prey’. ”

Unknown's smile darkens.

“If so, why rush now? ”

“It doesn't have to be. ”

If it were original, today a woman named Shirakawa Ai would have ended her life as prey to Unknown.

“· · · · · · · · Boss? ”

“What I'm going to eat today is not a rust, but · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Unknown takes a step closer to Maestro.

“Because of you.”

Unknown's mouth snaps up like a demon.

“What · · · What ·. ”

“Things are different. I need your abilities. ”

Tomorrow's attack on the Dragon Rest Area requires Maestro's ability.

not to attack the dungeon, but to observe the character of "Leesometry."

“I was just thinking it was time for a little bit of gusto. ”

Tak!

Unknown grips Maestro's face with one hand.

“Bo, boss! ”

Maestro looks embarrassed and grabs Unknown's hand with both hands. Then, he struggles to escape Unnown's grasp.

“David, the 12 years I've been with you have been quite pleasant. ”

“Shhhhh!”

One minute.

Time spent until the light completely disappeared from Maestro's eyes.

* * *

Go back in time.

A resting place for the dead.

Approximately six days have passed since the onset of the attack.

In the meantime, Maestro did not initiate action.

Thanks to that, I was sure.

‘Maestro was eaten by Unknown. ’

This is the only explanation for the situation.

It was a very simple inference.

‘As Unknown uses the wrong place in the name of heaven, it must have [copy] Maestro's ability. ’

In the original, however, Unknown never used the power of "executives."

There was only one conclusion that could be drawn from these two facts.

‘The condition for Unknown to [copy] his ability is to kill or absorb the target. ’

In that case, Unknown's ability is not [copy], but [predator].

If so, it makes sense why my ‘Yong 'an’ is being welcomed by Maestro.

"Maestro is dead. ’

Then everything fits.

‘Unlike the original, you must have killed and [eaten] the maestro who suffered a huge failure. ’

If it is of an Unknown nature, it is possible.

‘Damn it.'

At this rate, the mission to hasten Unnown's plan is like going back to Blitz.

I'm in trouble.

The dungeon becomes more difficult as you enter the Dragon Rest Area or wherever. And it is natural that the harder it gets, the more gaps it becomes.

‘When Unnoun betrays the boss in the fight against the Dragon Rest Area, · · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

Unknown VS or VS Dungeon Boss

Then it'll be like this.

‘I wanted to avoid such a mess as much as possible. ’

That is why he planned to use Maestro.

To make Unknown more urgent, to move forward with the plan.

‘· · · · · · · I'm in real trouble. ’

Of course, it's not a fatal failure.

However, there is no denying that the odds have fallen slightly.

I sighed without knowing it.

It was then.

“You don't look so good. ”

Master,

Unknown approaches me with an expressionless expression.

“Do you have any concerns? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

about's existence.

I kept wanting to answer · · · · · · · · ·.

“It's just a matter of tactics. ”

The master sat next to me.

“Everything you gave me was accurate. It's solid information, but what's there to worry about? ”

“There might be variables that you don't know about. ”

“Hm. Seems like you're the worrying type. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

I stabbed him.

You're hitting it with the facts.

“Yes. Have you gotten to know the guild members a bit? ”

“Yes.”

They're all good people.

“Well, that's a relief. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Tell me if there's a problem. I'll help you.”

“· · · · · · · Yes. Thank you."

Then why is he so friendly?

That's not the kind of master I heard about.

“Oh, boss, what's up? Talk to him first? ”

“What? The Caribbean spoke first? Tomorrow the sun rises from the west. ”

Tay and Susan approach in surprise. Judging by the look on both of their faces, it seems that the Master's behavior is strange.

“The first mercenary in the guild. I just thought I'd give it some thought. ”

Susan opens her eyes.

“Hey, boy. My boss must really like you. ”

Suzanne, sitting next to me, poked me in the side with her elbow.

“Susan. What happened to the maintenance? ”

“Oh, right. That's why I'm here. We got a little problem, so we're gonna have to wait about 10 minutes. ”

“I see. So get ready as soon as possible. ”

“Okay. I'll be right back. Let's go Tei.”

Susan and Tey head back the way they came.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Just the two of us left.

Awkward, scary.

I know you don't want to ambush me all of a sudden, but it's scary. If you are ambushed while you are not using the King's blessing or an ancient artifact, there is no way to resist.

“Gangseo rate.”

Suddenly the master summoned me.

“Yes?”

The Master stares at me.

This is the face I saw three days ago.

Mysterious eyes that mix expectations and excitement appropriately.

He said this with an unknown look in his eyes.

“I don't have a system. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Ridiculous words that could not have been imagined coming out of Unknown's mouth.

“Do you know what this means? ”

It's like they're testing me.

It was that look.
