Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

169F Hidden Piece (4)

The challenge challenge of Feast can only be used by the challenger. So far it has been useless to the general public or NPC.

One, the situation has changed a bit in this mission.

Expedition commander Zleyburn.

He was a ‘challenger’ who ascended the tower 500 years ago, when the tower was recreated.

This is not only one of Drakar Nyenson's captives, who has now joined forces with the Emperor.

So maybe we can challenge him to a duel.

‘Well, that's great. ’

25th floor challenger.

Although this enemy is too burdensome to deal with one-on-one alone, the power of these minions is in the armor, not in their nature.

“Let go! Let go! ”

Just holding your arms up like a rabbit's ear doesn't make it easy for you to escape.

The armor has already been disabled, so if you're dragged to the Arena like this, you'll be able to hunt easily.

In other words, it is like bread in a bowl that is good for eating.

But the problem is....

‘We have to keep her alive until then. ’

A few hours before entering the mission, I used Predatory.

This mission takes a total of 30 days, so the cooldown will return by the end of the last day.

Of course, it's not a matter of coming back to cooldown.

If you are a ‘challenger’, you may be wrong to assume you can use it on NPCs.

And before that, there was the possibility of death, of the end of the mission.

‘But it's worth a try. ’

Leaving all of them aside, Yoon-suk felt a great merit.

There is no reason not to underestimate it.

Soon, Yoon-suk quickly made his decision to release his strength from Drakar's grasp.

Fluffy.

The short, thick body fell to the ground.

Yoon Seok pushes his sword into his neck to get up quickly, seeking the freedom of the body.

“ ……. ”

Move and I'll kill you.

If you listen to me, I'll let you live.

I didn't have to say that.

Yoon Seok just stared at his eyes without saying anything, and only emitted a deep life.

“Yes, who are you people! You set me up with some kind of obsession... ”

“Enough.”

I don't know what you're talking about.

I thought it was all a trap, but it was pure coincidence that Drakar showed up here.

There must be a lot of questions for each other.

But…….

“I'll ask the questions. ”

This is the first place you ask questions.

Drakar gripped it in the cold voice of Yoon-suk.

His pride seems so broken, but there's nothing he can do but snort over his fluffy beard and stare at it with his poisonous little eyes.

“What's your name?”

Yoon-suk asked what he already knew, even though he was small.

It's a basic interrogation technique I saw in a movie once.

“You think I'm gonna answer that? ”

But maybe it wasn't enough.

Attitudes are still full of rebels.

Yoon-suk held the tip of the blade close to his neck.

Bloop.

Reliable gaze. Clever words. A logical tone.

It's not bad either...

Experienced living and a little bloodline.

There was nothing quite like a lubricant to soften the conversation.

Of course, instead of killing because of Predation, even if you try to choose death yourself, you have to hold on to your neck....

Drakar doesn't know that.

Just in time, there were reinforcements fired by the Heavenly Horse and the Golden Tree.

“Tsk, tsk. You're a good boy. Once you start with your fingers, your toes, and you cut them off one by one, you get a booze job. ”

“Little bishop! Leave that to me. One day is enough, and I'm going to make you puke all over your hair. ”

Hair?

I might not be able to vomit if I want to vomit that.... As much as the enthusiasm of the gilded timber has been conveyed.

But it also felt like Draca.

“Hey, have you seen these horrible hybrids……. Y-you think I'm gonna answer that? ”

Yoon-suk secretly smiled at me with a satisfying smile.

That's all he talks about.I can see he's scared.

I think I just need a little more....

“Little bishop, shall I start with my toes? ”

The golden jewel peels Drakar's boot and pulls out a small dagger.

And I turned my back on whether I wanted to or not.

“Ah! Now that I think about it, I'd better get my claws started. If you cut off your toes from the start, you can't do it even if you want to, right? ”

I don't think it's a threat, but....

Well, it wouldn't matter.

“I want to ask you a few questions. Will you answer me?”

“Tell me... ”

Drakar is finally stubborn.

Even if he is a duel challenger up to the 25th floor. No, you don't want to end up hurting more than death in a place with no name.

After all, Drakar is an unmanned man who grows stronger by shaving his bones. He comes from the dimension of armor fighting.

“What's your name?

“Drakar Niyenson. ”

“What's your dimension? ”

“Fedomia.”

“What about your own ordeal? ”

“Duel.”

“How many floors are there? ”

“25th floor……. Dammit! Why are you asking me this when you know everything? ”

Drakar cries out in tears.

Just after that, he hesitated when he saw the light on the eyes of the gold standard he had been watching.

As if to determine what he already knew, Yoon-suk continued to interrogate with an indiscreet look.

“How many dimensions do we have left? ”

“Six. ”

“What was the number of rankers when you just entered the 20th floor? ”

“10,000 people. ”

“What were the trials on the 21, 22, 23, 24 floors? ”

“Except for the 23rd floor, it was a one-on-one duel. ”

“What was the ordeal on the 23rd floor? ”

Drakar is a kind of a leader.

Of course, past meetings, there may be differences between now and then…….

It will be a reference in any way.

Yoon-suk, who was gathering information like this, recalled his head.

“I'm glad.”

“Good...? ”

“Yes, I don't lie. ”

Drakar snorts.

I just don't understand why I'm glad I didn't lie....

“You think there's a way to find out if you're lying? ”

“Yes.”

“What?"

“I'm not exactly figuring it out, I'm just not figuring it out at all. ”

The Enforcer's Eye.

If the Magic Power stat is higher than the target by 1 grade or higher, the user can't lie to the target with his/her eyes.

Drakar shakes his head as if he didn't believe in it, just explaining the effects.

“I've never heard of such skill.... ”

There won't be.

It's an original technology made of synthetic technology.

“If you don't believe me, would you try it? What's your name? ”

“Draka……. Damn, I can't do this. ”

Drakar pauses, trying to spit out a false name, and breathes out in a void.

“If there is such a thing, even if I skip to the point without doing the shit from the beginning.... Oh, did you test me? Would you lie to me? ”

No, it's not like that.

I just wanted him to think so and bring up the "eye of the Enforcer."

“I have another ability to relate to information other than this. ”

Yoon-suk lied without hesitation.

There are no other abilities.

All he's got is one enforcer's eye.

Even then, it only blocks the source of lies, not allowing us to reveal the hidden truth.

But Drakar doesn't know that.

Therefore, we will take a more candid attitude, being wary of abilities that do not exist while talking in the future.

“Can you tell me in chronological order what has happened since you entered the 20th floor? I did all the little things. ”

“Why do you ask? ”

Yoon-suk didn't answer.

Then I opened my mouth slowly, feeling like it was some kind of test or something.

It was a long story...

At the same time, there were interesting stories.

“Wait, your ancestors were immigrants from Seilandbad? ”

“Is that so surprising? ”

“That's not it……. ”

It turned out that the history of Fedomia was similar to Moorish.

A long time ago, those who were defeated in the Hundred Year War fled with their families to an unknown dimension. He developed metallurgical arts and eventually created the current "MadoEngineering" civilization.

However, Yoon-suk was surprised at the other part.

“What do you mean, you had help from the Taklan Empire? ”

“Literally. They stole all sorts of resources instead of teaching me skills.... It wouldn't have progressed this fast if it wasn't for them. ”

“Taklan knows Fedomia and the other dimensions. ”

“Different dimensions. But what are they? It's a technology that goes beyond dimensions that's only been developed by them for a while. I came all the way out here alone.... ”

“No, I'll take it one step at a time. Let's finish what we started. Who came out of the 23rd floor? ”

Yoon-suk slowly listened to his story in chronological order. When I heard the story, I was curious, or if I had a feeling of disgust, I asked as before.

Because of that it took a long time to hear everything....

I got some valuable information that I don't regret at all.

“To recap, Draca, you were recently called a mercenary to slaughter raiders at the gates of Takland. Then another gate opened inside the gate, and it got sucked into a car that wanted something. Is that correct?"

“… if you put it simply. ”

He nods with a mouthful of words.

This concludes the approximate gathering of information.

Yoon-suk calmly breathed.

Among his stories, there were many stories related to the tower....

The main thing was the slow destruction of the collapsed dimensions and the fierce survival of the remaining dimensions.

And this may be the story that will come true in the near future.

“I have one last question for you. ”

“If you say no, won't you ask? ”

That's not true.

Unlike other questions, I know this is a personal curiosity and a sensitive question…….

That's all I wanted to ask.

“Drakar Nyenson, why did you come to the tower? ”

“... Oh, my God, my fucking eyes. ”

Drakar utters a blasphemous word.

The gilded jewel next to him was sticky, but Yoon-suk raised his hand to stop him.

“... Why are you asking me this? ”

“You've answered the other one well, but is this a difficult question? Remind you of a lie first? ”

“No, it's not like that, but it's too obvious.... Shit!”

Drakar looks up at the ground.

And I opened my mouth after facing the magical eyes of Yoon-suk.

“I climb up to live. I live, and as many others as I can! That's why I'm coming up, okay? ”

Yoon-suk who heard it was also a simple answer that would become useless.

One, he hesitated to say this.

“If I live, someone else dies. But I'm going up there. Not to mention my survival. I want my best friend to live there. ”

If you win, there is a loser.

And Drakar himself saw the losing dimension collapse one by one, and he felt responsible and guilty about it.

Yoon-suk seemed to know why he called Moorim and Sheheran Bard "Losers."

Maybe he's whipping himself.

You shouldn't feel guilty if you don't want to be like that.

“Are other rankers like you? ”

“I don't know. How do I know what those lunatics are thinking? ”

“I see. Let me ask you one more question.

“Son of a bitch, you're real. ”

Yoon-suk asked him one last question, taking the blame of Drakar.

“... What do you think is at the end of the tower? ”

After a brief silence, the answer returns.

“I don't know.”

“ ……. ”

“But if we get there, we'll see the look on his face. ”

The voice of Drakar speaking so quietly stood still.

* * *

It's been a while.

Drakar returns to his usual face and raises his shin stone.

“So is it my turn to ask? ”

“... Have questions? ”

“Then why not? I can see now that you didn't dig a trap. Who the hell are you people? ”

Yoon-suk, who was thinking for a moment, borrowed the setting of the mission. I don't have anything to tell you honestly...

When he realizes that he is being reproduced, he doesn't know what he is doing and how to create the variables.

“The expedition? You came to the gate to kill the queen? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Only with this power? ”

“ ……? ”

It was a suspicious reaction...

After that, Yoon-suk even told me that he killed the dragon and that it made it seem like you came over here, another dimension of being.

He was greatly astonished.

“Protector of the Red Clan? You killed the dragon? You got it all wrong, don't you? How the hell did you kill that dragon? ”

“ ……? ”

Yoon-suk tilted his head.

Drakar knows this side of the force as he has been captured in a single battle.

And what do you mean, "all of you"?

Is the dragon so great? I didn't think you were that strong.

However, Drakar mumbled something and cleared his mind to see if there were any lingering details.

“... I don't know how you convinced him, but he's the one who built the expedition. Unless the Guardian Dragon helped us, we wouldn't have had a crazy plan to kill the Queen. ”

Then, before the dragon died, he said this.

I'll kill you for deserting the cause.

So Yoon-suk also wanted to get a second awakening....

Before that, I couldn't see the dragon's true power because the Heavenly Horse cut its head.

“No. This doesn't make any sense anymore. Why kill the Guardian Dragon who helped the expedition? Did you really want to kill the guardian dragon in the first place? For what reason? ”

The longer I thought about it, the more I saw Drakar struggling with contradictions.

Yoon-suk let him out of the maze.

“No, I don't think so. Our goal is the queen. ”

“What? Then why……. ”

“What happened with the dragon was an accident. ”

Accidents.

I have no choice but to say so.

In the beginning, Yoon-suk did not even know that the expedition was built in partnership with the dragon.

I was just assigned to a mission....

The only NPC that might have known about it.

I thought the expedition commander Tsureyburn would be dead in half an hour.

“Let me get this straight... No, I don't know why I should. ”

“ ……. ”

“The goal of this expedition was to kill the Guardian Dragon who was helping the expedition because of the 'accident’, although the Queen was right. That's why when the dimension became unstable, I accidentally got dragged here, who was far away. Is that correct?"

“… I guess that's true. ”

Yoon-suk nods and screams that Drakar is full of energy.

“Oh, fuck! ”

There is only one person who empathizes with his profanity.

It was just Geoffrey holding his ears open from afar.

If he had the right to speak, he might have told Drakar.

It's convenient to give up thinking.
