Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

My heart sank.

Time is both medicine and poison.

In 500 years of waiting, El must have imagined it many times.

What if, in his lifetime, he knew that the Monarch of Destruction was Rick?

- So whatever it is, we just run. Just like before. Just... Do it. Yes...?

You can't change your twisted destiny.

In the next life, there will be even more misery.

Perhaps, in one life, we could live with him smiling?

I'm sure you've thought about it.

“ ……. ”

That's why my mind is even quieter.

Ignorance is both poison and medicine.

Perhaps El watched as he carried out his mission.

I'm begging him to run away crying when he reproduces himself. And yet Rick chose to move forward.

—... it's all for you.

Of course, Rick said that…….

Is that really what El wants?

Probably not

- What happened to Kanna?

- I don't know, but they're coming. Let's get out of here.

A village that got chased, chased and arrived in the countryside.

And I spent only three years there.

Either El has endured it all in remembrance of the ordinary lives he spent in that hut.

Even if the tragedy was repeated again from the next life, she would have accepted it with a smile.

Once, you said it was a happy life.

I heard you were good at leaving them all behind.

I'm sure it was.

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

Unlike Rick, there wasn't much El wanted.

However, I was eager to be satisfied with it even once and accept my next destiny.

‘Are you going to be okay? I'm not worried...... ’

Shin Seok opened his mouth.

“Don't worry. ”

I wanted to talk to El, who was watching this place alone in the hut.

Don't worry about it.

“You'll be happy. ”

I will destroy the tower and kill the queen.

And then I'm done with this whole tragedy over and over again. Of course, I don't know what fate awaits her in the next life…….

You'll be able to enjoy a little happiness in a normal life that you've always wanted.

“Can I, can I...? ”

“Yes, I will make sure of that. ”

Yoon-suk was sure.

* * *

El puts his hands on his chest.

And I bowed my head as if praying.

It was a long time before she opened her mouth.

“Who are you to say that to me? ”

It was also natural for such reactions to occur.

Actually, what I just said was, it's not El in front of me, it's El looking right at me.

“ ……. ”

As Yoon-suk frowned, El shook his head.

“No, you don't have to answer. I just want to believe.”

What do they believe in?

As soon as I was quiet, El added.

“Someday I'll be happy. ”

“Ah……. ”

“And then you moved through the cracks, through Segeranbad, as if you knew it all. It's like I'm from the future. ”

I think he's from the future...

In a big way, it wasn't even a bad guess.

“... If I don't hear your voice, I'll believe it. I mean, I believe I'll be happy someday. ”

“ ……. ”

“So, I'll be going now. You have work to do, right? ”

El said cheerfully in a bitter voice.

I said I would believe it, but can it not cover my current grief?

Yoon-suk hesitated for a moment and nodded.

This is good for each other.

‘He's a little concerned.... Nothing will happen now. ’

After flowing the ‘first manager’ standing dazed in front of the tower, Yoon-suk climbed up the stairs again.

Rick is dead, but the battle is not yet over.

His comrades and armies, called the "destroyers," were fiercely engaged.

Of course, the color was dark and even Yoon-suk fought and the victory was completely tilted.

And the moment the Thousand Horse Sword slit the throat of the plague.

You won the final battle.

All challengers have completed their individual tasks. A batch of branding statements (Rank A) will be issued.

"Destruction rate 21.29%.

"Covered the cemetery with less than 25% damage. Increases reward significantly.

A shout echoes as the battle is over.

“I won...! ”

“Waaaahhhh!”

Of course, not all missions were completed there.

"Group Mission (11/15).

You have successfully defeated the forces of destruction. Repair the destroyed cemetery.

Repair the wrecked cemetery.

Small tasks followed, such as informing the leaders of each country about their victory. One by one, the final mission came down.

"Group Mission (15/15).

"Join the festival and enjoy the peace you have made.

Yoon-seok looked like a bunch of useless parts.

One, I understood why I put this in.

It must have been carved into the subconscious of the challengers who participated in this mission.

Who is evil, and whose side is justice.

‘You are justice...' ’

Yoon-suk smiled as he looked at those who slammed the cup forcefully.

There is no justice in this world.

There are only individual desires.

Yoon-suk decided to be more honest with his desire.

* * *

Success.

"Final achievement rate 87%.

Increases rewards significantly.

"30,000,000,000 MP will be paid.

"100% individual mission completion.

"Branding Statement (Rank A) is awarded as a reward.

You have completed the hidden challenge.

Get a random box (Rank SS).

The mission reward totals 30 million MP.

1.5 million fewer than the 21st floor missions, but given the contribution of more than 90% at that time, it was a very large amount.

Most importantly, all the challengers who participated were equally distributed.

- Oh, oh, brother! I'm not mistaken, am I? Thirty million points coming in.

Fast progress.

Murim, Seilanbard, Killian.

Instead of choosing one of them, he divided them up and targeted all dimensions, with less than 25% destruction rate during combat.

Other times, as I was solving the mission, there were a few more times that the reward increased profoundly.

Nevertheless, I didn't know this amount would come out.

- Awesome... What is this ride...?

Lee Su-yeon dropped an elongated pack.

- No more missions. You want to go exploring? I think I can make it to the next duel twice if I go too far. Why don't you join her and just wipe it out for the rest of your life?

—... and get some rest.

- Okay, you need maintenance time, right? Call me when you're done! Can't you just go with your sister without me?

If I felt willing to follow you anywhere in the text, it would be because I felt bad.

Soon, Yoon-suk checked the clock with a smiling smile.

"599: 41: 08 to the next duel.

Duel starts in about 25 days.

That means I spent a little more than two weeks on this mission....

Yoon Suk, who was somewhat regretful, had finished his tasting.

‘If I didn't have a deadline at the end, I'd be back in a week……. ’

I know I've been on a mission for a while, but I'm a little disappointed.

I saw an early retirement, but I'm supposed to call it an abortion?

It feels roughly like that.

"Oh, but don't I have to go? ’

Thinking about it, Yoon-suk, who was discharged last year, had not yet attended the reserve army.

‘Well, I'm sure Ashton took care of it. ’

Yoon-suk smiled at the unexpected thought.

It was also funny for those who were informed in the first place to participate.

He'll do the same. He'll learn how to shoot and throw grenades again.

Monsters protrude from the gate.

It's a world where spaceships shoot nuclear beams.

‘After that, it's been less than a year.... ’

In the tower, the time ratio is hard to come by, but in fact, it has been less than a year since Yoon-suk became a challenger.

Sometimes when I think about it, I feel strange.

Is it like all this is happening in a dream?

Anyway, Yoon-suk decided to slow down and check for other rewards.

Glug.

When you open the drawer at the bottom of the statue, you notice two items.

It was a box with a book and a question mark.

Yoon-suk examined the book first.

* Randomly acquire a branded Statement (Rank A) - A rank skill

It's the same thing I accidentally got when I went on an expedition.

Of course, what I got back then was a low B rank.

What's coming out of this one? ’

In fact, the Engraving Statement is classified as a high value item among rankers.

Of course it is.

It's a possibility, but it's also a unique technique.

The last time Yun Seok used an imprinted technique, he obtained the 'no Young Chang' which was used as a technical synthesis.

Did they not follow the same luck as before?

Obtain the General Technology 'Undertaking'.

I came up with a general technique that I don't have to do.

It turns out that you were able to tame a newcomer below that rank. Of course, we don't know where to start judging by newcomers.

‘Oh, I think there was something similar...' ’

Yoon-suk reopened the information window that was opened to check the technology.

Then I found one in a dense tech window.

* Repatriation Contract (Rank B +) - Can tame the repayment below that rank.

It was previously acquired by Predatory.

I honestly can't remember when I got it.

‘... Is that what you got from that Orc when you first went on the expedition? ’

I think so.

I remember that the characteristics were so obvious that I couldn't synthesize them and left them alone.

‘But what's the difference between a groupie and a payback...? ’

Suddenly I had a question like that, but there was no way to confirm it. However, I liked the taste of it either way.

What do you mean by apprentice and relief?

At least it looks more useful than the scumbag who likes to hang around in the front pocket.

‘Synergy doesn't look so bad, but let's try synthesizing in a minute. ’

Maybe it's because I saw a thousand horses in the air wars riding dragons.

For some reason, such desires bloomed.

To a man, the Legendary Beast was a different kind of longing than a starship.

“Sura, what do you think? ”

Now it's like a penny point, but it's still about using points.

To synthesize two skills, you need to rank them.

Therefore, Yoon-suk asked his opinion about Azura's ‘intuition’.

“Glub! Glub! ”

“Feel good? Very?”

“Glub! Glub! ”

Luckily, Azura cast a vote.

Well, maybe I said that because I'm glad I have a friend, not an intuition....

"If you're going to synthesize, it's better to fill all three, right? ’

I did not hesitate to act as long as I made the decision.

Yoon-suk immediately ranked up two skills using approximately 1.3 million MP.

One was a B-rank transfer contract, and the other was a horsepower (B-) obtained in a duel with volcanoes.

"Technology has been synthesized.

"Learn Soul Bound.

Yun Seok's head tilted, not expecting much, after checking the synthesized technology.

* Soul Tie (Rank A) - Challenger Choi Yoon-suk's original skill. When used, a binding contract is made with the soul of the target.

1/1 available remaining.

Soul bonding...

What kind of technology is this?

The content is very confusing on topics that are only available once.

“No contract, no strings attached? Something doesn't feel right.”

However, I decided to try my skills on the right ones at a later time.

If you try and do something weird, you'll get rid of the skill.

At this point, Yoon-suk raised a box with a question mark.

* Random Box (Rank SS) - When this box is opened, up to 3 random Equipment, Skills, and Special Items from the S to SSS rank are obtained.

The name made me wonder, but it was the same item as expected.

‘There are a lot of randoms on this mission. ’

Yoon-suk smiled a little.

Sometimes it took me a while, but I was pretty confident on my feet. And frankly, it was kind of fun to gamble with.

Yoon-suk licked his lips and put his hand on the lid of the box.

And then...

"The Lady of Liberation is calling you.

Would you like to respond?

An invitation came from El.

‘I have to open the box.... ’

Twice in a row.

"The Lady of Liberation is calling you.

Would you like to respond?

Yoon-suk barely took his eyes off the random box.

Then I pressed accept.

Unlike in the days of the Dumbbells, he also grew a little.

* * *

“Welcome.”

When he arrived at the hut, El folded his hands slightly in front of him and bowed down to Yoon-suk.

“ ……? ”

Yoon-suk could not understand the situation.

To be honest, I thought you'd be depressed by now, watching the mission.

However, that color was not smeared at all, and it was not the same as before.

‘What...? Someone else? ’

I always threw off the white robe, as well as the stuffy hood.

Instead, the Chinese empress wore a colorful silk garment, and her head was turned up and fixed as a monk.

‘... Could it have been that shocking? ’

Then I heard that a woman who had undergone a big change of heart cut her head short or something like that.

Maybe that's the case with El.

“... you look good together. ”

Yoon-suk swallowed his saliva and praised El carefully first.

That doesn't make it an empty phrase.

It's a good harmony between the East and the West.

El with the golden eyelids revealed even the soft neckline and was wearing silk clothes, so a very strange atmosphere flowed out.

“Hehe.”

El smiles, slightly covering his mouth with his sleeves.

“You must have suffered outside, let's eat first. ”

“Yes? ”

“How are you so embarrassed? ”

“Oh, it's nothing……. ”

Yoon-suk, who had been stiff-necked, sat down and looked at El's gaze without even knowing it.

There was a supper on the table.

What's with the accent? Is there something wrong with the interpreter system? ’

It would be over if I asked him straight away, but Yoon-suk couldn't say anything like he had a dumb, cold heart.

Somehow it wasn't in the atmosphere of water.

But I couldn't help but ask.

“Hey el……. ”

“What do you call me? ”

“Why are you opening a new table? ”

In response to Yoon-suk's question, El tilted his head.

“ ……? ”

Suddenly, she opens a seated table on the floor of the living room, where she doesn't know where to find it, and puts food prepared separately on it.

“When I ask other managers, they do this in Korea.... Wh-what was it...? ”

“Are you talking about a common denominator? ”

“Yes……. ”

I wonder if it's getting dull.

Somehow, El's voice returned as usual.

It turns out that there was no problem with the interpreter system.

“… it's an old-fashioned social landscape in which men and women did not humble themselves. ”

“Just men and women? I didn't say that. ”

I don't know who told you this, but I know Korea like a ship.

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

“Then what the hell did you tell him? ”

Yoon-suk asked.

Whatever it was, I was going to refute it with facts to protect Korea's honor.

But what else could it be?

“That……. In Korea, I heard you can't be modest with Jiavy...? ”

Yoon-suk's brain stopped for a moment.

“Jiabi...? ”

“Y-yeah... I told you to get pretty... didn't I? ”

Yoon-suk remained stiff as a rock.

Don't you think there's something wrong with that reaction?

El opens his mouth in a blatant manner.

“... Can you do it again in front of me? ”

“ ……? ”

“That thing you said to me earlier.... ”

“That thing you said before? ”

“You, you, I was a little surprised because it was so sudden, but I'm not saying that I wasn't happy……. ”

El blushes his face and covers his mouth shyly. Then I carefully recited it in the crawling voice of the ants.

“Half, half, I'll make you happy for sure.... ”

Then Yoon-suk could know.

Where did this misunderstanding begin?
