Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

“If you think I'm dead, use your powers then. ”

I asked Drakar, but I wasn't sure.

If he loses his timing and fails, or if he suddenly changes his mind…….

Even if all possibilities have been engaged, there may be things that come back from death with nothing in their hands.

It was just one possibility.

However, this death was worth it.

—... don't give up!

Leave the Holy Beat in the sky.

Everything that is seen in the process of running toward death reaches a new place because I do not know the outcome.

The wick becomes a candle on the verge of the wick, seeking meaning in life that was shaken and burned.

Past, present, future.

The moment they are all united, I feel nothing.

Then I realize.

Why only after reaching the end does the candle emit the most glamorous light.

You've enlightened the essence.

"Old Audience Watch (Rank S +) returns owner's time to 5 minutes ago.

The paused seconds move backwards.

Death disappears at the same time.

- Go, hold still. Elixir! Doesn't anyone have elixir?

Sadness is forgotten.

A self-evident heart starts beating more vigorously than ever before, as it finds its place and proves its life.

One minute ago, Yoon-suk repeatedly breathed.

Every time the air that I inhaled curled my lungs, I felt that I was alive.

How long has it been?

“Rosalind.”

Yoon-suk first went to Drakar and initialized the cooldown of the clock.

I asked him how many times, but he didn't stop me like before. No, he encouraged me to be strong.

What changed?

It will soon be known.

“I have something to check. Come out. ”

Yoon-suk recited it briefly.

However, no answer was heard.

I wonder if I can't call it a good word.

“Crazy queen. ”

At the end of the insult.

- Kahahaha, kahahahahaha!

It shakes like an earthquake from the ground up, and the laughter of the queen herself, the frenzy, sinks down.

-Everything is always with death...!

The expeditioners pull out their weapons or freeze, with a creepy voice, and soon the darkness begins.

Whoo-hoo!

Yoon-suk smiled a little.

Reverse tens of thousands of times.

I finally see it.

It was hiding in the dark.

* * *

When she first died.

Yoon-suk met another queen at a halt.

I don't know how she got involved, but she wasn't a recreational being in the tower, she was real.

Yoon-suk asked what he wanted, and she replied:

- waking you up. That's the only one.

I want you to wake up.

After hearing that she was a ‘candidate’ designated by the tower, she thought she was trying to convince herself…….

- Take advantage of the dwarf I sent. Although it is said to be a fake, only with his help will you be able to go back alive.

It's actually kind of funny.

You don't have to be convincing. You just have to kill it and it'll all be over very simply.

Had it not been for her advice, she would not have come this far and faced her death a second time.

At this time, Yoon-suk was sure.

- Don't forget, Rick Gersei.

And why they call him Rick Gersei.

I can't even imagine why the tower insisted that it was his enemy....

What she wants is not a "turn around."

And to do that, I want you to stay alive on this mission and keep climbing that tower.

Of course, the hidden purpose is unknown.

Yoon-suk Hana later postponed the question.

The answer will be to survive and once we get out of here, it won't be too late.

"Dead"

"Dead"

"Dead"

I followed the queen's advice and received Drakar's help.

A thousand deaths before the Merchant Guild. In other words, I got a clue from Thousand Horses that the way to kill the Queen is in the system.

So I reached.

To see death and deal with it.

I didn't know exactly what I was capable of until I died tens of thousands of times for this.

Whoo-hoo!

The darker darkness hidden in the receding darkness is swarming towards itself.

Yoon-suk instinctively felt it.

This is the one who killed Yoon-suk without even knowing it.

Bleeding.

Suddenly, a smile burst out.

Unless you saw it.

There was nothing to be afraid of, as far as it seemed.

Screech-!

The moment Yoon-suk pulled out his sword and slashed the darkness.

The burning darkness shatters and splits into pieces.

It was not like a rush.

Whoo-hoo!

Once, twice, three, four times…….

The thunder echoes as the darkness is cut out.

I have longed for this moment in doubt and despair. How much time I had to endure alone to see this next one.

“I'll help!”

I no longer had to fight alone.

Immediately, a thousand horses intervened.

I came to the side of Yoon-suk and cut down the darkness together.

— Who the hell are you? He must have killed all the candidates.

Soon, the Queen screamed in a bewilderment.

The frenzy of your voice fades.

This is a welcome sign.

It means that the queen who has killed herself several times over like a bug with her absolute power, now feels threatened to some extent.

- I'll kill them all!

The darkness rages violently.

And Yoon-suk saw.

It swirled around in there, and then something started pouring in from everywhere, like the tide.

That's how many times he wiped out the expedition.

‘What do I do? ’

Yoon-suk pondered for a moment.

Just like Thousand Horses couldn't save Yoon-suk.

It is impossible to keep fit, but it is not enough to protect others.

Of course, it didn't matter if the expedition died.

It doesn't help to be here.

After all, if you succeed in killing only the queen, you will revive them all.

But…….

‘Drakar must live. ’

Drakar is different.

He must survive.

It's not because you have to.

I haven't had that kind of greed in a long time.

‘This can't be the end. ’

Drakar will surely help in the battle with the queen, who has only just begun.

So we need to find a way to save him.

Even if I have to repeat the death over and over and over again.

‘Wait……. ’

At the moment of Drakar's death, Yoon-suk, who was the key to choosing suicide, flinches.

There was something in my brain.

Then, the effect of 'Sa Sin' is not to see what is invisible as a thousand horses.

All you see is death.

Nevertheless, Yoon-suk could see and feel it hidden in the darkness with his own eyes.

This means that the queen's ability is related to death.

If this hypothesis is correct, we can intervene somewhat rather than just watching.

‘See death, deal with death. ’

This was the item specified in the system.

So how do we deal with death?

There were a few things that came to mind, but the first thing Yun Seok tried was to spit out in words.

“Stop.”

Commands with a clear physician as when you first moved the Natural Keeper before interruption.

Let's do it.

Shhhhhhh.

The swarming darkness unilaterally stops its movement.

I didn't feel like I was inhibiting or barely stopping something. I just feel like a god with all-powerful power over that darkness.

- Oh, why...

Soon, Yoon-suk could know.

To see the unseen.

Sassin doesn't have a universal effect like the ability of Heavenly Horse…….

It's the perfect counter for the queen.

Move, move, move!

The queen screams evil, and the darkness begins to shake again.

“Stop.”

I recited it again without supporting Yoon-suk.

The fierce struggle of darkness subsides by releasing the restraints.

Of course, it didn't stop there.

“Be gone.”

Like a gust of fog.

The darkness that was all around him is gone.

Suddenly, as the surrounding area became brighter, the expeditioners, who didn't even know what just happened, were bewildered and vigilant.

Yoon-suk looked at one place without hesitation.

- I'm the only one who's not locked in the tower! Then why...!

There is a great darkness writhing in the distance.

Is that the Queen?

Yoon-suk reached out his hand toward the darkness.

I felt like I could use this power without having to say "disappear" directly out of my mouth.

Of course, I couldn't see the queen's embarrassment at once.

It's just...

Glug.

Whenever you hold a will, the darkness will peel off one by one.

The massive darkness grows smaller and more painful.

- Puhahaha! Puhahaha!

Suddenly, a huge darkness diminished to the size of just one person. He was hiding in the darkness like he had been covered in mud all over his body...

At least the contours were revealed.

And from then on,

Is that what this is? Giha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

The darkness that took human form began to twist strangely.

It's like he's holding his navel and giggling.

Yoon-suk frowned without even knowing it.

I don't know what's so funny, but one more time and you'll be embarrassed.

"Be gone."

The last of the lids are torn off and the woman leans in.

It was never the "Queen" I had imagined.

He didn't look like a borderline landscape, emitted a majestic atmosphere, or dress up in fancy outfits.

A woman in her early twenties who is just below average in any part of a stretched, worn-out cloth.

“Heheheheh heh heh! Heheheheh heh heh! I get it! Now I get it! ”

After smiling for a long time, she looked at the stone with blue eyes.

“It's all fake. ”

I don't feel the frenzy anymore.

Voices were also conveyed through the ears, no longer ringing in the head.

“My feelings, my memories, my abilities. In the end, it's all just data generated by the tower. ”

We don't know what triggered it, but the queen herself realizes it's being reproduced by the tower.

“You made me a 'candidate' who might kill me one day with my own hands, just like him! Hi-ha-ha-ha-ha!”

Yoon-suk's eyes gave off a sharp glow.

I'm sure I've lost my mind...

It may be possible to get information through a conversation right now.

“Tell me if you resent him. Who the hell are you? ”

The queen did not answer.

I just cried as if my smile had burst again. Yoon-suk Hana asked me again and again.

The builder of the tower knows why he wants to kill you, what the invaders are up to, and what's at the end of it.

The answer never came back.

“Stop it. There's no way a puppet can tell you that. Let's just kill him now. ”

The Heavenly Horse who was watching drew his sword.

Yoon-suk asked me one last time, biting his lips.

Do you know the name Rick Gersei?

But then.

“… how can you name it? ”

The queen's laugh is broken.

Then he shouted with a face that realized something.

“Yes, you did! ”

Horror, joy, hatred.

It was a look full of emotions.

“You were the one! Listen to me! You... ”

Yoon-suk instinctively listened.

Whatever it was, I had a feeling that it would come out very important.

But then.

‘ ……? ’

Time stopped without a sign.

Of course, this phenomenon itself was familiar.

‘... Dead? ’

It happened one minute before the clock reversed time.

‘Damn it.'

I thought he was trying to lead us to something important, but maybe he was just trying to distract us?

I can't believe you were hiding a weapon like this.

The next round, I moved more carefully, and Yoon-suk caught my mind.

But...

Success.

What came to mind was not the phrase "dead."

You don't think killing the queen is a clear option? No, but it's still 30 days away.

Yoon-suk doubted both eyes.

The mission suddenly ended in an unconvincing way....

You killed the ‘Queen of Death’ who regained her power.

Now the system phrase is lying.

Murdered?

He did not kill the queen.

Rather, it was the moment I was listening to the last thing I wanted to say.

Then the mission was over.

‘No way... ’

Suddenly, I felt goosebumps on my back.

He knows only one person who can do this.

‘The tower doesn't want me to know this information. ’

Yoon-suk smiled.

‘That's funny.'

To be honest, whatever the tower wants, it's just curiosity.

But now I've changed my mind.

If you want to hide something like this, you have to figure it out somehow.
