Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

The Soul Keeper I met earlier.

Perhaps it was a hidden tower, he said.

- I don't want you to break the tower.

When things got bad, I avoided the conversation by means of death....

Until then, I tried to convince myself somehow.

This allowed me to know one thing clearly.

The tower is not immortal.

‘Otherwise I wouldn't have to say that. ’

Yoon-suk added strength to the hand holding the sword.

It needed to be checked separately from the certainty.

Now can I, can I break this tower?

Whoo-hoo!

There is no reason to go to the power.

Yoon Seok shrugged off the air with a light magical pull.

“I see you've brought a guest. ”

Rick and the man recognize the presence of Yun Seok, but they don't see any movement or stopping the sword.

The two simply take a step back and step out of the scope of the sword.

Maybe he thought this sword was just a surprise.

“What nonsense.... ”

The man who easily dodges the ambush (?) looks at the stone and puts his magic in his hands.

And when I whispered something.

“I have no regrets, but you've come to a place you shouldn't have come.... ”

Kuaang -!

A black sword crosses between them touches the tower.

The result was fine compared to the noise.

Just a little crumpled up and done.

In fact, this was something anyone could do with a strength of D rank. Of course, it was assuming that the iron door was a normal iron door.

“… What? ”

The two men's faces were strangely distorted.

Apart from one embarrassment, I could feel a pale expectation in their eyes.

Because of that, I felt ashamed.

So I put the sword in and scratched the back of my neck like a habit.

“Who are you, just now……. What the hell did you just do? ”

Rick, who was shaking like he was struck by lightning, raises his head first and asks a question.

It seemed like a paranoid patient, with steam gushing out of his nose and blurry eyes.

Well, it's not like you don't understand what it's like to be frustrated right after everything went back to bulldozing.

‘He looks like a homicidal maniac with a mask on. ’

Yoon-suk smiled and replied.

“Well, maybe this is what a hound looks like. ”

Seeing Yoon-suk, it was a sneaky trick about what the tower's hound dog did.

Well, I wasn't wrong...

Anyway, did he just hear an answer and feel something different from his intentions?

Rick grits his teeth and says a single word.

“Challenger……. ”

“ ……? ”

“Was it? Was it like that...? We were crowded here to give the hound a double-edged sword. ”

Rick's helpless eyes are like blazing fire.

“Let's make a deal. ”

“ ……? ”

“Destroy the tower here and now. Whatever the tower promises you, I will do more than that. ”

The voices felt great.

However, when I offer a refueling offer with such scary eyes, it doesn't feel like refueling at all.

Of course, it wouldn't have been the same.

“I don't like it.”

Yoon-suk answered profusely.

But even with a firm refusal, Rick does not give up.

“… towers are not reliable. ”

You don't think he's reliable?

I don't need to say it.

Though it was only a symptom, he approached me with his identity hidden, and tried to gently grind this way.

However, there is a queen who is as hard to believe as the tower.

Besides, destroying the tower here and now had no advantage.

This is merely a recreational space.

Helping him will only distract the mission, and if the mission fails, it will truly be catastrophic.

‘I just wanted to make sure that I had thrown the sword in the first place. ’

The most curious question was solved.

You have the power to destroy this tower.

I knew exactly how to get to this place.

It was a little ironic.

‘Do I have to use the tower to kill the queen or the queen to kill the tower? ’

I needed the queen's strength to get here now, and I needed the ‘tickets’ of the tower to go where she is.

“You will regret this. So now that you've changed your mind... ”

“No, I'm not changing it. I'm not changing it. ”

A stubborn refusal, with no room for words.

Maybe Rick gave up on persuasion, too.

“Then we'll have to change our minds. ”

Rick draws his sword, revealing his overwhelming power.

Ridiculously strong.

Do I have to say, this is my past life?

It's not a bad way, but...

‘That's funny.'

Regrettably, the 'that’ dialogue doesn't work for Yoon-suk.

Once the name is her apprentice.

* * *

Maybe it's because he's not a challenger.

Using a ‘Punishment Blade’ did not work.

Moreover, just as Yoon-suk had acquired many skills and abilities in the tower, he also seemed to have received such abilities from the queen.

But did they receive a balance patch separately in the process of being reproduced in the mission?

The battle with Rick was quite disappointing.

Boom, boom! Clatter-!

One breath, one breath.

The more fluttering water exchanges in a closely maintained balance.

The balance gradually leaned toward Yoon-suk.

‘Distance or ambush from below, above, and at this time. ’

Yoon-suk stepped out one step at a time.

You found counter skills, captured a small habit, and took advantage of melee warfare with a sword handed to you by a thousand horses.

In a word, I poured out everything I had learned naturally in the duel I had come to play many times.

Why can't you fight like this? ’

Her abilities may be similar, but she was an overwhelming advantage in terms of her expertise.

“... Stop giving up! ”

“Who said that? ”

Did he have absolute faith in his own power?

Rick bites his teeth at the situation that is not as straightforward as you might think.

It was clearly different from Yun Seok, who had a lot of relaxation.

The mask had been covering its face for a long time. Half of it was destroyed and blown away in a violent battle.

He clenched his lips to the point of leaking blood, literally enduring one move against evil.

“... Why are you doing this? For El? What the hell did the Queen promise you? ”

Yoon-suk slaps Rick on the back of the head with his sword so he doesn't have time to think.

Kick!

I kept my promise to beat him to some extent, and I also managed to organize the sequence further... ….

It was time to solve another question.

“ ……. ”

However, unlike Yoon-suk's wishes, Rick doesn't answer anything. I focused all my nerves on just moving the sword to try and win.

Thump! Thump! Boom! Boom!

The clearer the sound, the more it bursts.

Yoon-suk continued to push him.

“What the hell do you want? It's all for you? Why would you lie to El like that? ”

“Lies, no...! ”

Did he touch the disgust?

For the first time, there was a correct response.

Yoon-suk continued to gently touch his feelings.

“No, I've been thinking. It doesn't make sense for El. It wasn't long before I realized El was still alive. ”

“ ……. ”

“But it's not a lie? ”

“Who the hell are you! I've been asking that strange question ever since I met you...! ”

Rick shouts as if it were unfair.

It was worth it.

From his point of view, something strange appeared, and all he could see was the persistence and stretching of the irrelevant parts.

However, this is very important to Yoon-suk.

“Why? Why did you become the queen's hound dog? Didn't you have a choice? Or did she manipulate you into thinking that? ”

“It was my decision to destroy the tower...! ”

I can't help but feel light-headed when I get hit in the back.

Rick bursts his emotions as if it were fine.

“I asked her first to see that she chose death for herself. ”

“ ……. ”

“Give me the power to destroy this world! ”

I finally understood Yoon-suk.

In my past life, between Rick and El... I mean, what happened between the Queen and the Tower.

- I'm sorry I'm late.

Rick sacrificed himself to save El.

All he wanted was for El to get out of here and live his life.

But…….

- What I want. It's not like this.

Elle was not confident.

So I closed my eyes, contemplating the world.

Of course, after that, El became a challenger....

Rick didn't know that.

‘You showed me that scene on purpose. I would have moved you if I wanted to. ’

If there is hope, man does not fail.

Just like El spent 500 years alone.

Hope wakes people up.

Despair drives people into endless darkness.

“It was a lifetime of misery and tragedy. There is something I want for the first time. I just wanted to be with her. No, I just wanted her to live. Yeah, that was it. Then why won't the world allow it? ”

“ ……. ”

“This is fate? My El? Just because it was set in motion from the beginning? ”

The queen told Rick.

The existence of the tower, the fate they gave it, and the consequences of blowing the tower.

“You hold hands with the queen because you hate that world? ”

Yoon-suk asked, but on the other hand, he had empathy for the feelings he felt at the time.

He was no different from Rick once.

I wanted to be rewarded not just for the blood work, but for the death of the wicked who tortured him.

Rick was probably the same way.

He would have wanted to be rewarded. Even if it ends in nothingness. He couldn't endure it without avenging it as if he were looking.

“Then why are you doing this now? You knew El was alive. ”

I can see why Rick is working with the Queen.

Of course, it's a long time ago at this point…….

The conversation between Rick and the man who was the 'first manager’ also put the future in my head.

- She said it was the only way, but maybe there's another way. A woman who always mixes tricks with tricks!

The Soul Keeper met his death as it did in this mission.

Rick reaches this place and reaches the truth that the power of destruction cannot destroy the tower.

And I figured it out in some way.

- Challenger... Was it? Was it like that...?

If it's not powered by the queen, use her power.

- It's not too late. He's already dying. Oh, you can't really say you're gonna die. Anyway, I keep my promises, so you keep yours.

If not in this life, even in the next.

I placed several condolences everywhere and handed over the cause to the welfare.

If you become a challenger, you'll be able to break the tower.

- I don't want you to break the tower.

In fact, the eunuchs gained that power.

However, Yoon-suk was fundamentally different from Rick.

Yoon-suk had no motive to destroy the tower after sacrificing everything.

You think he didn't see this crazy plan coming?

Probably not

- He said it was meaningful to wake up alone. That you would be on the right path with your own destiny.

I just don't know Yoon-suk yet.

They made a toast for the future.

That's why I was wondering.

If revenge was the reason you wanted to destroy the tower.

Why did Rick continue to destroy the tower after realizing El's survival?

I intuitively felt that the abdomen and the reason were closely related.

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk pauses at the sword he was swinging and looks at Rick calmly.

After a brief silence, Rick opens his mouth.
