Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

The field of view was dark.

Once the mission was successfully completed, Yoon-suk couldn't hide his intricacies.

‘Was it a wild goose chase...' ’

Why did El choose himself as a contractor?

I challenged the 14th floor mission to find out why.

I had to know this to be sure that I could tell if she was reliable.

But in the end, poor......

No, but the question grew even bigger.

‘Well, that must have been my problem.... ’

Kanna said.

If you have any doubts one day, take this test.

Then the doubt will go away.

But it wasn't.

Of course he didn't lie.

I don't know what the original scenario was, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't all over in just 12 days.

If things had gone right, I might have been able to figure out the truth between El and Rick Gersei and myself.

There's nothing I can do now.

What the hell is that, anyway? ’

Yoon-seok turned his attention to clear the air.

The last phrase that popped up was a new interest.

The Tower of Perforation is beginning to notice you.

You will be rewarded exclusively.

It was the first time for Yoon-suk, and it did not seem like the usual case.

Well, it didn't seem like a bad thing, but....

There is no possibility that something will appear in front of the dark-bitten eye, no matter how great the reward is.

It was about a minute after I felt that way.

Whoops!

Vision recovered color without any foreshadows.

‘Where am I...? ’

It was definitely not the waiting room.

It just took me a while to figure out where to open my eyes. Even if I turned my head to look around, my body wouldn't move.

However, my body was not hardened like a stone.

I just couldn't move on my own.

‘ ……? ’

My body moves, my eyes move, regardless of the doctor.

I feel like I'm watching someone else's first-person game monitor…….

It's hard to explain everything.

The sound, the smell, the touch, the stomach, even the pain of the muscles that I felt every time I moved my arm.

‘It looked like a bumpy wagon. ’

Yoon-suk quickly aggregated the given visual information.

In a wagon completely disconnected from the outside.

A chain filled with small white wrists.

And the Treshon symbol on the floor.

It was only a few pieces of information, but Yoon-suk came up with one guess.

Did you enter El's body? ’

Then the embroidered pattern on the sleeve is also very familiar. If I remember correctly, that was the outfit El was wearing when he was on the eighth floor of the mission.

If the owner of the body could confirm the mirror, it would be even clearer, but Yun Seok was already hardening the symptoms almost.

"Anyway, if El is right, is that the right time? ’

Estimating the current point of view was not difficult.

This must have been the time when Kanna and Wellington were grabbed by pagans on their way to the harbor.

Brace, brace!

My heart was racing.

Somehow I felt scared, anxious, and crazy.

Since when does this kind of emotion seem unfamiliar to Yoonseok?

Needless to say, it was the current feeling of El.

‘Thoughts can't be read, but emotions can be conveyed. ’

Yoon-suk focused on what was even more visible.

It was the only thing I could do.

Then there was a commotion outside. At some point, the wagon stopped and the static came.

And as the door opened, a wounded man appeared.

“Thank goodness you're okay. Let's go back to where the chancellor is waiting. ”

This ended up changing the place.

A shattered wagon is abandoned in the woods.

“What happened to Kanna...?

“I don't know, but they're coming. Let's go.”

Fragmented scenes continued thereafter.

A quiet village that was chased and arrived after being chased.

The variety of everyday life that's been there for three years.

One, the planned breakup came without fail.

“Mister, mister...! ”

“El! Wait! I promise, I will come for you! ”

In front of Rick, El is taken by the heathens.

For many years I was locked up in the holy land and went through the process of expanding the vessel of the body.

Terrible pain, infiltrating despair.

El barely survives the warm, loyal memories of Rick.

But…….

“Did Treshon really say that? ”

“Yes……. ”

“Useless bitch. ”

El, who became a witch, begged God for forgiveness as they wished, but was rejected. The pagans, furiously, pierced El's soul and drove him into battle.

I have never been imperfectly opposed to the power of El. Her anger has materialized and destroyed everything.

And a mercenary stopped her.

“I'm sorry I'm late. I'll save you. ”

Rick sacrifices himself to purify El's soul.

“Why, for something like me.... ”

“It is an adult's duty to protect children like you. ”

El hugs Rick's corpse.

What he desperately wanted while he was dying was to somehow get out of here and live his own life…….

“But this is not what I... wanted. ”

Elle was not confident.

The only reason I was willing to survive in hell is now gone.

El resigned himself to reality and waited for the end, disputing the world.

And then...

“You're a rare and unusual customer. ”

The tower appears.

It was a little different from when Yoon-suk was dragged.

A man in robes greets you at the door.

“Where are your wishes? ”

“I want him to live only for himself in the next life. No obligation, as you wish……. ”

Seeing El speak his wish like someone possessed by something, the agonizing man opens the door of the tower.

“If you wish it badly, it will be done. ”

A slight open mouth smile was very compassionate.

* * *

Go to the waiting room on the 14th floor

Prepare for the next duel.

As El enters the tower, the light flashes inside, and I suddenly realize I have a familiar waiting room in my sights.

Yoon-suk looked up dazed.

Seeing the body move freely, I realized that I had returned.

“Phew……. ”

Yoon-suk took a moment to take a breath and just before, he cleared up El's feelings that were on his chest.

Then I opened the drawer at the bottom of the statue.

There is only the equipment that was looted from the duel with Miller, but nothing else.

My gut guessed, but I was also right.

‘That's what I've been seeing. ’

It was neither a elixir to increase stats, nor a rare piece of equipment, nor a skill to be the number of spleens.

However, Yoon-suk did not complain about this.

When I saw El there, I felt the same way about her. At the end, I even heard the wishes made to the wicked in front of the tower.

And thanks to that, all the questions I had were solved.

‘I can't believe there was such a trap for you...' ’

Your first wish for contractors.

It was an intense wish that the manager had in his lifetime.

- To be strong and strong and hostile under heaven. This is all I ask of you.

The astrologer wanted the wish to be fulfilled on behalf of the contractor.

That's why I thought El was like that, too.

I thought that the desire to escape, bloomed in a repressed past life, emerged in the form of aspirations.

But it wasn't.

- I don't want anything from you. I want you to be free to live without any obligations.

because he wanted to live freely.

This wish was not El's wish.

Just…….

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

It was only her wish that Yoon-suk lived freely from the beginning.

Even in the next life, just like you said when you entered the tower.

‘Rebirth……. ’

It's hard to believe, but it's vague not to believe.

If it weren't for that, I would have put someone else's name in El's mind when I signed the contract instead of yours.

‘That's why they looked similar.... ’

Yoon-suk, who grew up in modern times, naturally encountered myths with many religions.

So I know the basic concept of reincarnation.

The soul that ends one life loses all memory and is reborn as a new body.

Karma, destiny, salvation, all kinds of nonsense added up depending on religion, but this was the basic skeleton.

Nowhere talked about looks, but anyway.

‘What do we do now? ’

Rick Gersei was his former life.

Honestly, I was still shaking.

Do I have to say I don't feel it?

No matter how much you try to put it, Rick is Rick and you are yourself. I felt friendly with El, but I didn't feel affectionate enough to give everything like that.

That's why I felt burdened.

Unlike himself, El thought of the two at the same time.

‘I would have been better if I had wished for something else...' ’

Elle's attitude was always favorable and dedicated enough to raise doubts and anxiety.

I can trust her with confidence now that I know her motives.

But…….

Apart from that, Yoon-suk will be blamed for what she did in the future.

‘Cause I'm not him. ’

Yoon-suk sighed.

From then on, I could not even fathom what to do with El.

Yoon-suk, who was thinking about it, finally made a decision.

"The Lady of Liberation is calling you.

Would you like to respond?

Let's meet in person.

* * *

“Wow, you're here...? ”

El welcomed you as soon as you arrived at the cabin.

The sound of stuttering voices, trembling legs, and even the hands that touched the cheeks and stroked their heads and went back and forth.

I could tell as soon as I saw it.

She's more nervous than ever.

Instead, Yoon-suk was relaxed.

“I'm sorry. I didn't tell you in advance……. But I thought it would be better that way. For you.”

Did he think Yoon-suk would be angry?

While apologizing, El trembles like a kitten in the rain.

Yoon-suk, who had lost his strength without knowing it, sat in an empty seat.

In the meantime, the tea I liked last time was poured into the cup.

Well, I was cold a long time ago whether I needed to be prepared to call like this.

“I understand how you made that choice, so you don't have to act like you're sorry. ”

“Yes……. ”

“But I am me. Simply put, it's pointless to expect anything else. Do you understand?”

“… Yes, of course. What more could I possibly want here? ”

For that, something seemed to be blurrier than before, but Yoon-suk decided not to dig deep.

Once I drew these lines and organized the relationship, I felt less burdened.

Yoon-suk took a sip of the car and asked.

“I have a question for you. If you really meant what you said, would you answer me honestly? ”

“Anything. There's nothing to hide now. ”

“Have you been through the final ordeal? Is that why you summoned me to this tower? ”

I hurriedly shaken my head as if El had misunderstood what Yoon-suk said.

“No, you're not. I wouldn't have wished for that. Can I ask you why you asked that question? ”

“On second thought, it was as if you knew I was going to be summoned to the tower. Ah... ”

Yoon-suk realized something and blurred his words.

If I thought about it a little more, I didn't have to ask.

“Future poetry. That's what you saw. ”

El nods, smiling softly.

I can't imagine how long it's been, but she looks like nothing.

Because of that, I felt the pressure on her again....

That and this are separate.

“Can I call you sir just once? ”

“No. ”

Not a chance.

Who's Rick?

At least until I'm over 40.
