Chapter 656 – Chapter 656 Yggdrasil (5)
The day before, at the Colosseum, which I visited with Mid-Autumn’s guide, I learned a few things that would be useful for a duel.
First.
The fact that killing opponents in the Colosseum is not a big deal.
No, it wasn’t a problem-free level, it was a recommended level.
And the second good thing I found out….
“To Kee!”
The thug who had been fiddling with him up until now fell out behind him with his mouth shut.
I took my outstretched hand back and looked at the referee standing in the distance.
The referee, who had been expressionless until earlier, was staring at the gangster who fell backwards with a surprised expression and let out a grotesque voice.
“Dear Kieh!”
“Did you like my advice?”
I asked while watching the referee staring at the thug lying on the floor.
“If you can’t declare that you’re giving up, keep going, right?”
“That… That is….”
The referee, who had been yawning and relaxing until earlier, looked at me and started rolling his eyes.
Then he nodded and opened his mouth.
“Without a declaration of surrender… The game cannot be stopped in the middle.”
“All right.”
The second piece of information I found out.
It was the fact that the game would end only when one of the two died or declared giving up.
I remembered the image of the challenger who had been beaten to the point of blood clots yesterday.
Although he was clearly signaling his intention to surrender with gestures, he couldn’t open his mouth properly and couldn’t utter words until he died.
In the end, after being punched all over the body, I was able to finish the game only after I died.
And the D-class duel I’m playing now has no different rules from the duel I saw yesterday.
Except for the time limit….
‘Ten minutes is a bit short… I can’t help it.’
The knave’s ability is at most one dagger skill.
The guy who didn’t even have resistance power….
“Keew!!”
Thanks to the fireball that went into his mouth, his entire mouth melted and he could not speak his lines properly.
As he slowly approached, he collapsed to the floor and began crawling backwards.
“Keeck! Under… Under….”
It seemed that the guy was enduring the pain and was trying to spit out the declaration of surrender by any means.
It can’t be like that.
“Oops!”
Pachichichi!
I fired a bolt of electricity and hit him in the mouth.
“Pukeek!”
The clots of blood that had melted with the fireball burst into the surroundings at my pure white electric shock.
“Keeck!”
After slowly approaching the guy who kept his mouth shut and caek-keek, he looked down and checked his condition.
The dagger the gangster was holding slipped out of his hand and fell to the floor.
All he could do was put his mouth shut and look at me pleadingly.
“Kek! Keek!”
I looked down at the guy who was looking at me pleadingly and grinned.
“Hey, what?”
“Kek! Keek!”
I smiled and shouted at the guy who was caking at me.
“I have to speak clearly so I can understand!”
Pajijijik!
“Keew!!”
The gangster, who was struck in the mouth by lightning, fell to the floor again with blood spattering everywhere.
I fired a lightning bolt at that guy, focusing on his mouth.
“Yes!? If you have anything you want to say! Do it right! I’m not going to understand!”
Paperweight! Jigsaw Jigsaw! Pajijijijik!!
“Kek! Gagging! Fughhhhh!”
The mouth had already been completely crushed to the point where it could not be called a human mouth.
The guy started to run at the referee in such a way that he couldn’t stand it.
“Keeck!”
I shouted at the guy who rushed at the referee and fired my magic again.
“If a person is talking, you shouldn’t make eye contact and talk!”
I was struck by lightning in the eyes of the thug who rushed at the referee.
“Puk ugh!”
The guy couldn’t even scream properly and this time started to roll over, clutching at his eyes.
The enemy audience who had been watching us started to shout.
“You are good at it!”
“If you continue to win until tonight, I will bet you points!”
There are not many people, but it felt strange to be cheered on like this.
‘The desire to compete is born in a place like this.’
While humming to myself, I checked the condition of the thug who was struggling on the floor.
“Keew!”
The guy who lost both his eyes and his mouth….
After confirming that his ear was alive, I slowly took out my bow and arrow from my inventory.
“There are still eight minutes left, so look forward to it.”
“Keeck!”
For the remaining 8 minutes, I made him realize that the 2 minutes he had tasted before were heaven.
..
..
Min Hayeon and I played a few matches, then we were able to meet and talk with the other members during the break.
And Hanbom, whom I met that way, scratched her head and smiled bitterly at me.
“Ah… So that’s why he was so mean.”
Not only Hanbom, but other members also said they were puzzled.
No matter how good my skills were, I had no idea that I would show such a radical side.
In particular, in the first game, I gave him a taste of living hell for 10 minutes and even killed him brutally at the end.
Even as a colleague, it would have been a bit scary.
Still, after meeting like this and explaining, the members began to accept my words.
“It sucks.”
“As expected, people have to know everything inside?”
Everyone laughed and started talking about the tournament.
Hanbom opened her mouth first.
“Then, are the two of you now C-class?”
“Yes.”
Me and Min Ha-yeon were able to achieve C-class by fighting against the D-class summoners early in the morning.
And in the case of C-class summoners, unlike D-class summoners, they were able to rest in a pleasant waiting room.
However, the treatment was not at the level of a private room, and the environment was only at a more comfortable level than before.
It was only grade A that provided private rooms.
“What… If it’s two people, I’ll be able to get an A grade within today.”
“I don’t know anything else, but if I took an A grade, it would be comfortable to take a picture with the same treatment when I compete later.”
The rank of the Colosseum was not for a lifetime once it was stamped, but it was a system that was maintained for a while.
In addition, I took a grade, and while it was maintained, I didn’t have to participate early in the morning for the D-rank fight like before.
What if I took an A grade today?
All you have to do is come to the Colosseum, put in your pre-tournament application, and come in time for all A-grade classes, starting in the evening.
If it is necessary, you can relax and wait in the A-class private room all day….
As we were gathering and talking, I heard a voice shouting from afar.
(Class C starts now! Participants, please gather in the waiting room!)
I shrugged my shoulders in response.
“Looks like we’re about to start before Class C.”
“We’ll go back to the audience! I’ll bet points on you and my sister this time too, so be sure to win!”
Hanbom smiled and took the other members back to the audience.
After confirming that the members had left, Hayeon and I headed to the Class C waiting room.
As I was heading to the waiting room, Min Ha-yeon insinuatedly called me.
“Suho.”
“Yes?”
Min Ha-yeon looked up at me with a sigh and said a word.
“I think you should refrain from getting too excited.”
“Excitement?”
I wondered what he was saying all of a sudden, but I could understand what Min Ha-yeon said later.
“It’s okay if the other person is an idiot like before, but even if… There could be someone who could put you in danger.”
It meant that I was worried that I would be in danger if I got excited about such a guy.
Even the reason for being excited was one of the factors for worrying.
“Bom and I have met countless people like that even before we came here.”
Well, if it’s natural, it would be a natural story.
Min Ha-yeon, who is famous for her archery beauty, and Han Bom, who has established herself as the best beauty in my standards.
If the two of them were walking on the street together, they would receive more men’s attention than they could breathe, and men would continue to flirt without even walking a few steps.
“Bom will have the same thoughts as me. We want you to be more concerned about your safety here than our feelings.”
“My safety… Don’t you believe in my skills?”
“No… I trust you so well.”
After Min Ha-yeon stopped, she started hugging my back.
Min Ha-yeon’s protruding breasts pushed against my back.
Then she whispered to me.
“Even if you think it can’t be… I’m afraid that a situation will come where you, who has such skills, will get hurt.”
“….”
It was a story that they believe in me, but think of me as more important than that.
Worry is such a thing.
The more your faith goes up, the more you worry about losing it.
As I said that, I whispered softly to Min Ha-yeon who hugged me.
“Okay. I’ll be careful.”
“… Really?”
I untied Min Ha-yeon’s arm, who was holding me from behind, and smiled as I looked straight ahead.
“Why would I lie to you?”
“… Okay.”
Min Ha-yeon smiled differently than usual and headed to the C-class waiting room with me.
I definitely made a promise to Min Ha-yeon.
‘I’ll have to put up with it as much as I can this time.’
But that promise….
“Oh oh! It’s a quality item!?”
“….”
As soon as I entered the C-class waiting room, it slowly began to crumble like a sand castle.
..
..
“Keuheugh!”
I dropped a word as I looked down at the struggling guy.
“What’s the matter? If Ha-yeon wants to like her, she has to endure this much.”
“Gagging! Keek!”
Like the gangster earlier, the guy just ran away without even declaring surrender, as if his mouth had melted.
‘It’s a C grade, so it’s a bit better than a D grade.’
[Is that so? Both seem similar to me, but….]
Well, if you look at the third person, this situation will look no different from before.
But there was one thing that was different from the guys before.
‘You run away. That alone can be said to be better.’
[….]
After making a rough assessment of the guy running away, I shot an arrow at his leg.
Dig! Kwajik!
Hehe!”
He fell to the floor after being shot in the leg by an arrow, beginning to move just as he did when he first tasted his pyrotechnic candy.
I liked it to the point where I wondered if taste cells were distributed even in my legs.
I looked down and smiled at the struggling fellow.
“What did you say earlier?”
“Keeck!”
The man shook his head from side to side as if he was going to deny everything I said later.
Blood splashes this guy….
I narrowed my eyes and recited what he had said to Min Ha-yeon earlier.
“Didn’t I say that if I stick to you, I’ll bring you safely to the last floor?”
“Keeck! Keew!”
“And did you say a fucking thing to Ha-yeon?”
“Keew!!”
The guy shook his head from side to side and spurted his blood.
Mistress, filthy Siri….
I grumbled inside and told the guy.
“When I see you, you should be concerned about your safety first, right? What do you think about it?”
“Keeck!”
The man shook his head frantically and expressed his agreement with me.
The problem is….
“No! Fry some fucking blood!”
I said that and shot an arrow into the guy’s mouth.
Dig! Kwajik!
And the guy spits out his death words….
“Keoouk!”
“Ah… Mistake.”
He died with the arrow I shot stuck in his mouth.
..
..
Min Ha-yeon grumbled as she entered the B-class waiting room with me.
“Ha… How long has it been since you promised….”
In fact, she was quite confident in keeping her promise.
It certainly didn’t cause any trouble in the waiting room.
She just gave Min Ha-yeon a fight with the guy who was cheating on her, so she educated her.
However, by Min Ha-yeon’s standards, she didn’t look much different from when she fought a D-class summoner.
“No… Isn’t it bad to show off your skills anyway?”
“Yeah, but….”
Min Ha-yeon had a strong feeling that she was really worried rather than dissatisfied with my behavior.
After giving Min Ha-yeon a bitter smile, I looked around her.
Class B waiting room.
Unlike the D-class and C-class waiting rooms, it was composed of a two-person room.
Min Ha-yeon erased her grumbling expression as she looked around her waiting room and began to admire her.
“Wow… The treatment has changed dramatically.”
I was curious about that part too.
I only went up one grade, but suddenly it felt like the treatment was completely reversed.
And at the same time, I was able to realize one thing.
“From B grade, there will be guys with some skills, right?”
Min Ha-yeon has been on a winning streak without using her legendary job skills at all.
There would be no problem with using it, but it seemed that he wanted to hide the hidden card as much as possible, perhaps because he had anxiety unlike me.
I wrapped my hands around Min Ha-yeon’s shoulders and smiled.
“Ha-yeon, with your skills, you can easily win even an A-rank. From my point of view, it looks like the ruler will win too.”
“….”
Min Ha-yeon gently turned her head and began to look at me wrapped up behind her.
Then she smiled and opened her mouth.
“Who is it that makes me so strong?”
After Min Ha-yeon said that, she added a word.
“A Class B duel… Was it an hour later?”
