Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

El told me.

If you save 1,000 Horses, you'll lose your precious opportunity.

At that time, Yoon-suk asked me this question.

Is she really worth believing in?

- If you have any questions, try the 14th floor mission.

The fire of doubt that arose inside.

To resolve this, I tore up the mission order following Kanna's advice the other day.

As a result, I learned more about El's past than ever before, but the biggest question was not solved.

Why did El make Yoon Seok the contractor by giving him everything he could?

Just because you look like Rick?

Well, maybe that's just it.

However, it takes time to say that.

—... because it's you. I've been waiting for you.

What did he mean by that?

Clues that were messed up in my head were not easily organized.

That's why Yoon-suk asked.

You know the Tower of Perforation.

If Rick is related to it, the faint outline seems to be clearer than before.

But…….

“I don't know why you're so nervous and ask.... The Tower of Perforation.I 've never heard of it. ”

Rick shakes his head.

Even if it wasn't the enforcer's eyes, I could tell.

That the answer is not a lie.

Leaving Rick behind, apologizing for not meeting his expectations, Yoon-suk swallows his tears.

‘... It has nothing to do with the tower? ’

Rick Gersei.

What the hell is this guy?

Why does he look the same as himself?

Is it really just a coincidence that Yoon-suk was able to write his name on the last mission?

Yoon-suk, who chewed his lips well, sighed deeply.

‘There's still a lot of time left. Let's not be nervous.’

The more I try to see, the more I can't see.

That's all for now, and I decided to hear how to save El.

The method was really simple.

“There is a problem with the vacancy in a wide bowl, so if you fill it, it will all be solved. ”

Inspire self into the void.

It means to complete the ritual that was once suspended.

Kanna interrupts the conversation as if it were a trifle.

“I heard you need a pagan shaman to perform the ritual. You're not gonna send them to save this kid's life, are you? ”

Rick shakes his head and unbuttons his top coat.

And he showed me the peculiar markings on the heart.

“These are the sacrificial stamps they left me when I was taken captive. ”

Rick says they can reinvent El's body on their own with this.

I usually need about a thousand sacrifices for this ritual...

“The spirit of the engraved sacrifice grows thicker over time. And it's been many years since that. ”

Kanna doubts Rick's explanation.

“After all these years, it's possible? Then why don't pagans use it? ”

“It's usually a long time to lose your life in a week if you engrave it. ”

Malnutrition, acute shock, cerebral hemorrhage, heart attack…….

The cause of death is diverse, and if they were free to act, Rick said suicides would take place everywhere.

“Three times a day, there is pain that seems to eat away at the soul. You think when you do. Wouldn't it be easier just to die like this? ”

After the sacrificial seal is stamped.

Rick did, too.

I felt suicidal several times a day.

But I have struggled so far to achieve one goal.

He handed the unbridled rice down his throat and learned how to protect his heart and blood vessels from the burning pain of his organs.

“Maybe I've endured that pain for this day. I'll be the sacrifice. I need you to save El with it. ”

Rick looks rather grumpy.

In the end, I couldn't help but ask Yoon-suk, who was hesitant.

“Why... are you doing this? ”

“I didn't think you'd understand. ”

I wasn't blaming you.

There was even a faint smile on his mouth.

“I knew it when I was saved by that child. It's my duty to protect this child and to live only for this child. ”

I didn't feel a shred of doubt in him.

* * *

“El asked me to save you. ”

After some thought, Yoon-suk also told me about El's last request.

However, Rick's decision cannot be influenced in the least.

“I thought you said a bitter woman could see the future. Please don't tell me when El wakes up. ”

After a while, Rick leaves the barracks, saying he doesn't want anyone to see him.

“What are you going to do? You can stay here. If you want, I'll give you a place to stay. ”

Yoon-suk chose the latter and nodded bitterly as if he thought Kanna would.

After that, Yoon-suk, who laid El down to the barracks she had prepared, quietly organized everything that had happened today in his mind.

Meanwhile, there were no visitors, and as time went by, it was dark.

That's when Rick came back.

Glug.

I don't know what strange abilities he's mastered, but he comes out of the shadows beneath the bed.

“Don't be surprised, it's me. ”

I just thought it was a little strange.

Nothing surprises me that I knew who I was in the first place.

“What brings you here at night? ”

“It's dangerous here, so get ready to leave. ”

It doesn't make sense to suddenly show up like that.

Rick gives you a quiet, quick explanation of whether you felt it.

“I don't have time to talk long. Kanna Blitz, she's dangerous. You want to save El, the pagan witch? There's no way she'd tolerate that. I'm sure they'll come up with something. ”

“… Then why did you say that before? ”

“If I had a few days, I'd make it through the night. ”

I understand exactly what Rick is saying.

Even during the day, Kanna was determined to kill El.

But there's one thing he doesn't know.

“People change. ”

Rick didn't deny what Yoon-suk said either.

I just brought it back like this.

“Yes, people change. But it doesn't change that easily. Do you think your long-standing, rotten hatred will disappear in half a day? ”

“ ……. ”

“Besides, she's a saint of the Trinity. Even if it's not personal, there's plenty of cause to kill El. ”

I was about to refute something he said.

Yoon-suk suddenly bit his lip.

There was a slow feeling of hostility emanating from numerous people outside.

They couldn't be pagans.

This place is in the middle of a tribal faction.

And one step later, he also felt a sense of circumstance.

“... Damn, it's too late. I didn't expect to act so soon. It's my mistake to think I'll be okay for the day. I'll clear a path ahead, so you'll have to carry El with you. ”

Rick draws his sword with his spleen.

Yun Seok also rated it as high as his will.

But that and this are separate.

“No. You're the one following me. ”

I didn't have to ask El otherwise.

Bloop.

Yoon Seok, who pulled out two swords from his waist without a sound, used a shredder to curl up El's body so that it would stick to his back.

“I don't intend to let you die here, but just in case, follow me. ”

“W-what does that mean? ”

“Literally. ”

Yoon-suk left the tent and went out.

There are more soldiers with weapons everywhere than can see the end.

I should have known, but my mouth was written.

"Somehow they gave me a barracks in the middle of nowhere. ’

Yoon-suk looked.

A distant future where she became a manager.

A long time ago, a pure man who knew how to sacrifice himself for his loved ones.

Maybe that's why.

I thought Kanna would fix my mind if I had the chance.

But Rick was right in the end.

People don't change.

At least in a day.

“I don't want to kill you. Hand him over. ”

Tons of troops.

Kanna, who was in the lead, told Yoon-suk that.

If I had the heart, I could smash her head all of a sudden, but Yoon-suk didn't.

It was pointless anyway.

It's just a magical vision.

“If you're going to say that, why don't you come yourself? ”

“... You're finally going to take the penalty. ”

Well, I don't know.

As Yoon-suk, it was difficult to be positive.

If anyone's in here with a poisoned glass, it's definitely not this way.

Yoon-suk gave me one last chance.

“Many will die. Don't you want to quit here? You know it anyway. He's innocent. ”

“I'm sure he didn't do anything wrong, like you said. But he has to die. More people are going to die if they let it get to them. ”

Kanna has brought up the cause as a saint.

I would have been better off if I had shown my sincerity, even though I was cruel and ugly.

“Do you hate this child so much? ”

“ ……. ”

Kanna does not answer.

Instead, I closed my eyes and put my hands together and prayed.

Then a silk-like line protrudes from the ground around her feet and begins to emit a white glow.

Defined as the evil of the declared sanctuary.

All stats will fall by stage 2.

40 times more damage to divine attribute attacks and additional non-playback effects.

Yoon-suk tried using the power of the law on the condition that the sanctuary is nullified....

It was impossible to cover the whole area.

About a 50-meter radius.

Beyond that, the magical power consumed will increase exponentially and interfere with the battle.

‘I'd rather not use this. ’

Yoon-suk ended the law of the Witch.

Unless it covers the entire area.

If you have to run in one direction at this rate, a 50m radius won't mean much.

However, help came from unexpected places.

"The body adapts to the new environment.

Reduce all terrain penalties by 50%

Because there is no material that should be synthesized more, we decided to have the technology ‘adapting the environment’.

The penalty was reduced by half.

Well, the danger was the same.

‘Totally counter technology. ’

It seemed good enough to drop stats.

However, they are vulnerable to the divine attributes because of Immortality, but there are dozens of times more....

It's even non-renewable.

‘If I'm wrong, I'll be in danger too...? ’

Yoon-suk also slightly raised the tension.

But I wasn't afraid or afraid.

Of course, if you get hit wrong, it will be dangerous.

But in other words, it means that there is no problem unless it is correct.

‘The problem is that we can't be vague. ’

Yoon-suk is not alone.

We need to protect El with another life, and we need to save Rick, the only one who can save him.

And since we have allies, we cannot use the Wide Realm Essential Judgment of the Ruler.

Yoon-suk looked up at the sky.

With wings of white light, thousands of paladins were watching from the sky.

This is the best way to penetrate the ground.

“I'm heading west. Get ready. ”

Yoon Suk makes a quick decision and gives Rick a small nod.

And before he opens his mouth.

You stab yourself in the air with a gray sword on top of two sacks.

Whoo-hoo!

The gray sword scatters its brilliant radiances, striking a vortex and shooting in a straight line.

And…….

Shhhhh!

Everything in that path has been erased.

Overwhelming power that humans would never be able to do.

Tens of thousands of people came to a static place.

Everyone was captivated by one stroke of the sword.

It was a welcome occasion for Yoon-seok, but the question is whether Rick was up to no good.

“Now, who the hell are you? ”

“Let's ask about that later, and then we'll jump. ”

As Yoon-suk first ran out onto the open road like Moses' miracle, Rick regained his mind and followed behind him.

After I saved El from the pagans with my own hands, Yoon-suk felt relieved to follow me.

“Stop him!”

It didn't take long for the straight path to be filled with soldiers again and blocked.

Swords, axes, arrows, magic, sacred spells…….

Everything that could kill humans flew towards Yun Seok.

In terms of numbers, it would be hundreds in a second.

However, Yoon-suk continued to break through the path by checking all attacks and blocking only the threats in the situation.

As I said before, I did not intend to be rough.

Yoon-suk graciously pulled out his paddle.

"Seventeen swords are being used. The swordsmanship's ears get deeper and deeper.

As usual, it didn't end with the effects of the Great Black Flag.

The gray swords in the air danced.

It's a one-on-one situation with a thousand master.

In this situation, it was a very efficient method.

“Evil, is that the Devil...! ”

“Don't run away! Are you trying to insult the name of God? ”

There were those who lost their intentions, but there were those who burned. However, if Yoon-suk stood in the way, he killed him indiscriminately.

Shhhhhhh!

The Thousand Kingdoms.

The tide from the edge of the sword swept through the battlefield.

Squeaker!

Optical Black Eye Strike.

Dozens of throats were slit by the sword that cut through the air.

The paladins full of heaven did not proactively rush to be wary of Yoon-suk's escape, but the number was still decreasing.

“Humans, not.... ”

A myriad of corpses piled up in the streets that have been pierced.

A translucent bead appeared in it and was absorbed into the body of Yoon Suk.

Glug-ug-ug!

Souls harvested by the A-rank effect of Predation.

No one knew what that meant.

I don't even know Yoon-suk, the owner, but how do I know that?

There was no understanding of one phenomenon or fear at all.

Those who saw it as if they were out of providence trembled without my knowledge.

“Damn it! Don't miss it! ”

Soon, Yoon-suk pierced them in front of them and reached the plains. That is, deviating from the siege formation.

The pursuers didn't rush as desperately as they did before, knowing that there was no answer for this kind of march.

Yoon-suk, who was running the plains, stopped at the center.

Rick shouts.

“Why stop! ”

It's simple.

Yun-Seok can't get out of the mountains and plains because of the tower's settings anyway. That's why fate came to a free center.

However, Rick stares at the sky dazed, not screaming as if he didn't understand it.

“Damn……. ”

Maybe it's because the army of the Tribes has marched into the plains.

Or did they just send an army to locate El and reclaim him?

I don't know, but hundreds of meteors were falling from the dark night sky.

Boom, boom, boom!

We don't have enough troops from the Trinity...

The pagan hordes have come here.
