Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

161R Apocalypse (4)

“Actually……. ”

Fahrini's tail is cloudy.

Why is that so hard to get out?

It wasn't.

Ashton was able to see that he had negotiated with various types of human warfare.

All he talked about was enjoying people's nervous reactions.

“The Katran Empire doesn't want an alliance. ”

“ ……! ”

Fahrini still gives a shocking answer with a nice smile on his mouth.

Maybe it's because it sounds too small.

Eshton, who was momentarily stunned, reacts late.

“… What do you mean? ”

At first, you wanted an ally.

Not anymore and not in fact?

I'm not making fun of people. No. Then why are you here in the first place?

For what reason?

Brainy!

Ashton's heart begins to beat violently.

For some reason, I had a hunch.

‘No way... ’

As always, an ominous premonition does not slip.

“I don't know why someone like you remains on a sinking ship. Will you join the Cartran Empire? I promise you the best treatment. ”

An asylum.

In other words, he wants to take Yoon-suk to his own country.

In front of everyone.

Somehow Yoon-suk said he wouldn't talk to me.

The Alliance is bait in the first place, and this is really the purpose?

Probably would

Looking at how well I've been prepared.

“If it's a family matter, you don't have to worry. Our challengers who have acquired the power to move dimensions can solve this. ”

First, solve Yoon-suk's biggest problem.

“If it's going to take you to a place that's outdated compared to Earth, don't worry about that, too. The Empire has already captured a large number of Earth scientists and engineers. Once we have the equipment, we'll catch up with you in no time. ”

Present the vision.

They are preparing for a ‘day' that is this serious.

“However, this offer is not limited to Yoon-suk. The Emperor is a talented person. He can accept any challenger on the 10th floor or higher. Of course, useless ordinary humans can't help it. ”

“Oh my, you crazy bastard...! ”

Eshton, who was chewing on his lips, couldn't help but spit out an insult.

And I was stiff.

I shouldn't have thought I'd made a late mistake.

Just…….

“ ……. ”

Fahrini's eyes turned to him.

It was as if I saw a bug that could be trampled and killed at any time, so I was instinctively stiff.

‘Damn it.'

The cold sweat flows through my back.

From the moment Fahrini's gaze reaches him, one second flows as slowly as one minute.

And then...

“Enough.”

Yoon-suk recited it briefly.

Ashton sighs roughly as if he were thirsty, raising his head.

Suddenly, Fahrini smiled and looked at Yoon-suk.

“This is the end of the joke. ”

“None of what I said before was untrue. ”

“That's enough of the introduction. Tell me what I can do when I get there.“ ”

I don't think I'll be able to accept that ridiculous offer if I'm misunderstood.

“Yoon-suk...! ”

Ashton summons him on a flagship.

Yun-Seok Hana looked at Fahrini Bay, not one by one.

His smile deepened.

“As expected……. I think I might be able to get to know you somehow. ”

“Forget it, just get to the point. ”

“Humans here don't support rankers like us very well. ”

It was hard to convince Eshton to act like Yoon-suk's personal assistant…….

When I listened to the words behind my back, it wasn't exactly wrong.

“Tattoos, imprints, enchantments, and additional empowerment. You can tell by the look on their faces what these are. Yes, these are usually limited, but they're also available to others and usually have a permanent effect. ”

Fahrini takes off her shirt.

He explained his ability, pointing to one of the malformed tattoos on his upper body.

“Strength stat increase. Increased fire resistance. Emergency Health Recovery. Advanced horsepower, increased durability……. ”

“ ……. ”

“My equipment has a lot of similar capabilities. As you can see, our support is literally this practical assistance……. ”

“That means all the sub-challengers have to sacrifice for one ranker! ”

A challenger who listened to the conversation grew old.

Taro Kitamura.

Japanese challengers with long range space mobility skills.

Fahrini only tilted his head to see the excitement.

“Why is that a problem? ”

“I didn't know that……. ”

“Isn't it obvious that one ranker is more important than 10,000 challengers? Actually, I can kill as many of you as I want right now. ”

“ ……. ”

“And let me get this straight. It's a deal, not a compulsion. Instead of spending points to acquire those abilities, they lead a comfortable life offered by the Empire. ”

“Ha, but……. ”

“The end is coming. ”

“ ……? ”

“Why is it so bad to take efficiency to survive, and to unite everyone? ”

Logically, there are no gaps.

Maybe one way or the other.

“This traitor...! ”

Taro Kitamura touches the disgust.

"Traitor."

As soon as I took this out, Fahrini's eyes cooled.

If Yoon-suk hadn't been here, his head might have exploded right away.

And I realized that Taro Kitamura stumbled backwards without even knowing it.

Fahrini snorts as she watches this.

“You're just wasting your time with this guy. Sacrifice? These people don't know for life. They don't want to know. Who's really making the sacrifice? Who risked his life on the most dangerous battlefield. ”

His loathsome gaze sweeps across the challengers.

Somehow, Ashton thought,

If last night, Yoon-suk's family was kidnapped by the Korean Challenger Management.

If something had gone wrong, Yoon-suk would have made this look.

“You don't have to answer right now. We will be staying on Earth for the next three days. because there are many people on Earth who have the ability, who are willing to survive. Please respond at least until then. ”

He could not say anything even if he wanted to steal Earth's talent openly.

I was the same reason why I didn't tell you that you shouldn't do it when Yoon-suk asked me what's in it for you.

With what right?

“ ……. ”

Earth is different from the Katran Empire.

It is the case of Yoon-suk without going to the general challengers.

I prioritize my understanding room over my mission.

Even though I don't have to mention it to Yoon-seok, I've thrown them all out of my own line....

A politician asks for a photo meeting with Yoon-suk, and the government plans to invite Yoon-suk to speak to raise the status of his country.

He also tries to call Yoonseok at the tower once he feels that a large crack will open.

The public needs heroes.

Shouldn't we reduce the damage to civilians a bit?

We've given you so much convenience, can't you do this?

‘Damn it.'

I was ashamed of them.

The end is coming.

Living with the idea that people from all over the world should work together, I was irritated by the fact that individual greed is engulfed in behavior.

Maybe that's why.

than the benefits of a country born and raised by Ashton.

The decision to prioritize Yoon-suk is:

‘No, is this a trick after all……. ’

Ashton smiles with a smile.

If you really prioritize Yoon-suk, you should let him go.

Then he can be stronger.

‘But in the end, what I wanted from this man.... ’

I can't do much yet.

No, maybe there's nothing I can give you in the future.

But…….

“Yoon-suk. ”

Ashton clenches his fist tightly.

Yoon-suk listened to Fahrini seriously.

Maybe you've already been inclined.

But you must not say it.

A selfish request for sacrifice, perhaps.

“I think Yoon-suk... ”

Nevertheless, I want you to stay.

Do not abandon the helpless.

Be the lamp that illuminates the front until the darkness retreats.

But…….

“That's enough.”

I wasn't even given a chance to say it.

‘… Have you already decided? ’

Ashton lowers his head.

Boom.

I could feel Yoon-suk taking a step toward Fahrini.

“Have you decided? ”

“Yes, you value efficiency very much. ”

“Survival is like that. ”

Draw without looking.

I don't know what kind of face Fahrini's making right now.

“Thank goodness. Because you're the one. ”

“You really made a wise choice. ”

Distance to reach out.

Each one exchanges virtues once.

The situation has already become irreversible.

He has no power, no ability, no reason to stop it.

Do I still have a sense of humor?

Ashton nods his head again.

And I saw it.

“Yes, I like efficiency very much. ”

Shhhhhhh!

Left hand slaps Fahrini's cheek.

* * *

Start a countdown.

It was a little strange.

The fact that this phrase can feel so unfamiliar now.

‘Might. Or is it a unique skill... …. ’

Fahrini quickly concludes her decision on the situation.

And I looked straight ahead.

He was silently watching himself from afar, when the same phrase came to mind.

‘Damn, that bastard……. ’

The situation is clear.

Just as he's dealt with countless intruders underwater.

The opponent did the same thing.

‘No, I didn't think he'd be like this. ’

Unexpected.

There are only 5,000 rankers left.

I can't believe a challenger from Earth would have had to go through all that irrationality.

‘You said you were still in your early twenties. It's not weird to fall in love with heroism. I thought it was too easy. ’

He felt that Yoon-suk's actions were for the Earth, not for himself.

Of course, it was an idea I could do because I didn't know.

START!

The restraint on my body is lifted.

Fahrini tried to persuade him to prepare for the raid while circulating his magic throughout his body.

“I won't ask why you did this. The motive is a little bit understandable. ”

Did he at least succeed in attracting interest?

Yoon-suk lowered his sword and tilted his head.

“… I understand? ”

“Yes. I had that in my heart once. ”

Engaging and empathizing.

The foundation of persuasion.

But in this area, there was no need to act.

Fahrini was at the beginning of each country's recognition of the perforated towers. That's first generation challenger.

“I felt the same mission as you. I thought about who else would do it. But they were busy exploiting that idea. ”

“ ……. ”

“Then a colleague dies. I felt unjust and protested. That was it. But my whole family had to die. I didn't even get a proper burial for running from them. ”

So far a lot has been refurbished... ….

At that time, the challengers' groups were fisticuffs.

I used extreme measures without hesitation because of my fear of the superpowers.

“Is that why you went to another dimension? ”

Fahrini did not deny.

“At least there's no need to sacrifice me. If I had to live as a challenger anyway, this ability was decided to be entirely for me. And the Cartran Empire was the perfect place for me. ”

“... So what do you want to say? ”

“It's not too late now. Change your mind. We're not just asking you to come to the Katlan Empire. You make a sacrifice, nothing comes back. ”

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk was silent for a moment.

Fahrini did not rush, but waited.

However, the answer that came back at the end of the wait was completely unintelligible.

“It doesn't matter. I'll change it. ”

“ ……? ”

The Katlan Empire is no different.

Those who make sacrifices gain nothing.

When you look at such a person, you think about using him first, and it is the world that is full of such people.

And you changed that?

“... Do you think that's possible? ”

“Just get to the top of the tower. ”

Once you reach the top floor, you can achieve your wish.

A rumor circulates among the challengers.

‘I'm too young to believe in this... Huh? ’

Fahrini's body was stiff as she kicked her tongue into a bothersome situation.

Suddenly, it was creepy from the whole body.

Shin-Seok's eyes were shining through the mask.

The moment I saw it again, I could see it.

‘Crazy bastard.’

This guy's crazy.

A madman who believes he's the scariest of them all.

Fahrini was convinced, although he had no idea what his wish was to go up to the top floor.

It was all for nothing.

I couldn't have convinced this guy in the first place.

‘Damn……. I don't want to fight.’

The top star rating is' SS + ’.

Of course, that's not absolute... ….

You want me to risk my life for a fight that has no advantage?

‘I have to step back. ’

Fahrini used the power of 'dimensional leap’.

If the prediction is correct, this stadium is a kind of dimension created by power or unique technology.

He decided that this power that he had paid a lot of money from his manager would get him out of the way.

But…….

Dimensions disconnected by the system

I failed to look good.

But did he notice that this side failed to escape?

The user glares at the target.

It's like the eyes of a predator who wants to hunt.

‘Goddamn it. ’

The choice of escape is gone.

In the end, we have to fight.

It may not be easy, but it won't be easy.

No, we must win.

‘I don't know how I got up here, but I'm going to die. ’

Fahrini grips his teeth and pulls out his weapon.

And then...

Aah! Aah!

An ominous aura-like book unfolds into the air, and you hear a beep.

Enrolled on the Death List.

"All stats will decrease by 'Weakness’ due to Status Effects.

A debuff type skill.

First, Fahrini memorized the command to disarm it.

And that moment.

“Holy Axis, Blessings……? ”

Whoo-hoo!

I heard a noise from the sky.

The shade on the ground instinctively lifts Parrini's head.

Your signature has been designated as a firecracker.

"The time of death is 3 seconds later.

It also seemed clear between the various phrases that came to mind.

It is…….

“ ……? ”

It was a giant battleship that crossed the sky.
