Chapter 660 – Chapter 660 Yggdrasil (5)
“Are you serious that if I win you’ll be my slave while I’m on the third floor?”
Simultaneously with Min Ha-yeon’s meaningful words, Seong Soo-ho shrugged his shoulders and replied.
“Sure.”
“… Really?”
“Why? Do you think I’m going to lie?”
“….”
The Seong Soo-ho Min Ha-yeon knew was not the type to lie with a bet like this.
I’d seen him lie to evacuate his comrades, but he’d never lied in such a relaxed place.
“… No.”
When Min Ha-yeon spat out words, Seong Su-ho smiled and replied.
“Instead, I will go seriously. And do you remember the other conditions in the letter?”
“Yes….”
Another condition that Seong Soo-ho wrote down.
That’s right….
“If I win, Ha-yeon, you will become my slave for a while.”
Just like Seong Su-ho said, let’s fight for each other’s status as slaves.
However, there was a part where I felt the consideration of Sung Soo-ho.
‘… I just wrote it down for a while.’
Seong Su-ho said he would be his slave throughout the third floor if he lost.
However, when he won, he only asked Min Ha-yeon to become his slave for a while.
It was a request, not a condition.
Min Ha-yeon was also sure that it would not be a serious bet.
‘It’s just a bet to boost my morale.’
Min Ha-yeon and Seong Su-ho were in a relationship like a married couple who used almost all of their property as if it were in their joint name to make a material bet.
For this reason, the only reward that Seongsuho could offer was slave status.
Seong Su-ho believed in Min Ha-yeon and placed a bet, and Min Ha-yeon believed in Seong Su-ho and accepted the bet.
‘It’s not even a bet on writing a contract anyway.’
While staring at each other like that, the host started explaining us through a loudspeaker.
〈They are the first two to become A ranks! From the start, an incredible fight is unfolding!!〉
People who did not know the circumstances of me and Min Ha-yeon started shouting excitedly at the host’s words.
(Win Min Ha-yeon!!)
(I didn’t care for you!!)
(Kill that alchemist at once!!)
Most of the audience was on Min Ha-yeon’s side.
The reason they cheer for Min Ha-yeon is simple.
Seong Soo-ho fought in moderation since there was no dispute after the C-class fight, but Min Ha-yeon came up with a landslide victory against a B-class summoner with a legendary job.
The audience would feel bored even if Seong Su-ho fought well, while Min Ha-yeon’s fight would have looked so splendid that it caught their eyes.
But there was something they didn’t know.
‘I don’t know if everyone knows. How scary is the kid in front of me….’
Since Min Ha-yeon came to Yggdrasil, she was facing her biggest wall.
The countless threats that Min Ha-yeon experienced….
The man who took the lead and repelled all the threats.
The man was preparing to fight himself right in front of his eyes.
〈 characters! The snowball fight must have been fun! The real showdown will begin soon! Then ready….〉
Min Ha-yeon started looking at Seong Su-ho as she took her posture.
Min Ha-yeon’s view of Seongsu-ho….
‘… Does this hurt your pride?’
He began to distance himself as if he would wait for Min Ha-yeon to summon him.
If you don’t know the other person’s ability, keeping a distance can be one way.
However, Sung Soo-ho has already seen through all of Min Ha-yeon’s abilities.
In spite of Seong Su-ho’s consideration, Min Ha-yeon did not show a bad expression.
Rather, she smiled as if she had taken a chance.
‘Sung Soo-ho… I’ll make you regret keeping your distance.’
The moment I distanced myself….
〈Start!〉
The presenter’s cry rang out loud.
And at the same time as the host shouted, Min Ha-yeon used the [Summoning Ritual].
“Come out!”
Five purple cylinders spawn on the floor at the same time as her signal.
After creating a skeleton soldier in an instant, the cylinder began to change into an aura without disappearing.
The skeleton soldiers with purple auras sensed the Holy Guardian as soon as they arrived.
“Kuhhhhh….”
Without even listening to Min Ha-yeon, they were convinced that he was the enemy and began to stance.
Two swords, two arrows, and a staff slowly began to reach Seongsuho.
‘… Are you okay? No, it’s a seat prepared by Suho. If it’s clumsy, it won’t be good for each other!’
Min Ha-yeon shouted with such a promise.
“Attack!”
“Kuhuhuhh!”
At Min Ha-yeon’s signal, a soldier holding two swords fired a new type at Seong Su-ho.
It was so fast that you couldn’t believe she was wearing armor.
And at the same time, arrows and purple magic began to fly towards Seongsuho.
If Seongsu-ho stays still, he will attack so powerfully that his body will be hacked to pieces in an instant….
As soon as the attacks came, Seongsuho….
“If you just think lightly, you’ll get a big nose!”
He shouted and suddenly took out a weapon from his inventory.
But the weapon Seong Su-ho took out was….
It’s 〈 Scythe! It’s not a scythe that cuts weeds in the neighborhood, it’s a huge side that can cut people like weeds!〉
Seongsuho’s main weapon was a bow.
And what he used as often as the bow was magic.
With the addition of auxiliary alchemy, Seong Soo-ho was a man who arrived here receiving the love of the party members.
But even that was lacking.
Right at close range.
Yes, if you shoot an arrow right in front of his nose, you could call it close combat, but Seongsuho had never held a heavy weapon in his hand.
He….
‘What? Did Suho have a weapon like that?’
He was poised with a huge weapon he hadn’t shown before.
A figure holding a huge side with both hands and hanging it behind his back.
He wasn’t just bluffing, he was posing as if he were holding his main weapon.
However, not all situations were resolved just because he had such a good attitude.
Despite the might of the Holy Guardian, there was no fear in the eyes of the Thanatos soldiers holding swords.
In their heads, there was only a mission to punish Seong Su-ho, who was defined as Min Ha-yeon’s enemy.
Squeak!
“Kheuah!”
“Hickey!”
It was the moment when the two soldiers swung their swords at Seongsuho.
Wow!
As silk soaked in moonlight passed through a soldier’s torso sharply, wind pressure fluttered around.
Wow!
The wind pressure quickly spread to the extent of blowing dust to the outside of the arena.
“Huh!?”
After Min Ha-yeon received her light sand on her face, she quickly brushed it off to check the condition of her Seongsu Lake.
She was worried that he might be hurt.
But really….
“Kuhhhhh….”
The Thanatos soldier’s body split in half and fell to the floor.
And the Seongsuho that the soldier was attacking….
“Whoa… Kill one at a time.”
Faced with the other soldiers, they began to confront each other.
Min Ha-yeon started to get angry at Seong Su-ho’s appearance.
‘No, how can I handle a weapon like that!?’
Min Ha-yeon was taken aback by Seong Su-ho’s appearance, but the Thanatos soldiers began to attack Seong Su-ho with much more courage.
Seong Soo-ho avoided the flying arrows and magic and started fighting with a soldier who swung a sword at him.
The remaining one was not as easily defeated as the one who died earlier.
He was trying to block and evade Seongsuho’s attacks, and to make the attacks of his fellow soldiers reach Seongsuho as much as possible.
Chaeeng! Chae Ae-Aeng! Pod! Fain!
“If I had known this would happen, I would have killed both of them at once!”
Min Ha-yeon woke up at Seong Su-ho’s cry and raised her bow.
‘Great. I think I took care of it somehow by aiming for an opening earlier, but there’s still a chance!’
Thinking so, Min Ha-yeon walked with a bow and made a promise to Seong Su-ho.
‘You can’t be scared… It’s rather an opportunity now.’
Min Ha-yeon, like Seong Su-ho, used a bow without a bow, and although not as good as Seong Su-ho, she had quite a bit of skill.
However, there was one crucial difference between her and Sung Soo-ho.
Right away….
‘If that soldier gets hit….’
There was a fear of shooting arrows in a situation where not only enemies but also colleagues were mixed.
A fear that is not easily overcome even if one tries to overcome it.
Min Ha-yeon….
‘It’s not about matching guardians, it’s about using my summon’s fight to my advantage!’
I decided to use the bow in a different way from Sung Soo-ho.
Min Ha-yeon started shooting arrows in line with the place where Seong Su-ho was stepping back.
“Oops!”
Seong Su-ho was about to step backwards when Min Ha-yeon shot his arrow and his posture was disturbed.
However, the charter did not turn upside down due to such a single situation.
“I have to finish it soon!”
Seong Soo-ho shouted that and started swinging his side without hesitation.
Wow! Shoot evil! Wow! Visor! Chae Ae-Aeng!
It collided with the soldier’s sword and deflected the flying arrow.
He even dissipated the magic that was shooting at him with his eyes.
Min Ha-yeon looked at him with an astonished expression while shooting the arrow.
‘No, isn’t that a scam!?’
In Min Ha-yeon’s heart, the expression “Scam” Finally came out.
I thought Sung Soo-ho was great. It was Min Ha-yeon who did not even think that he was a fraud.
The reason I thought so far was simple.
Because he was an ally
However, in the eyes of the enemy, Seong Soo-ho looked like a cheater who went beyond being great and used cheats.
“It’s shameful!”
Min Ha-yeon shouted that and continued to fire arrows.
Min Ha-yeon and the soldiers of Thanatos joined forces and continued to fight with Seongsu-ho.
And during the engagement, he slowly began to see Min Ha-yeon in his eyes.
“Big!”
The fact that Seong Soo-ho’s stamina is gradually wearing out….
But before Seongsuho’s stamina runs out….
Haha… Oh, no….”
Min Ha-yeon’s body began to lose strength.
Min Ha-yeon’s fatal weakness, which had won overwhelmingly as soon as she fought.
“Mind… Mana….”
It was that there was not enough mana to maintain the summons.
If the current battle had been a melee, there would have been no shortage of Min Ha-yeon’s mana.
It was because her summons had the ability to replenish Min Ha-yeon’s mana whenever they killed a creature.
The problem is that there is only one person to deal with right now.
And the result of confronting that one person for a long time….
“Whoops!”
Min Ha-yeon knelt down on her floor, unable to hang her arrow on the bowstring.
At the same time Min Ha-yeon knelt down on her knees….
“Khehehe….”
The soldiers of Thanatos, who were fighting with the Holy Guardian, began to disappear as they turned into purple mist.
Min Ha-yeon couldn’t regain her senses from the sudden vertigo, and she began to catch her breath.
As she breathed in, someone suddenly reached out in front of her.
“It’s okay?”
Haha, ha, ha….”
When Min Ha-yeon saw the man reaching out to her, she slowly began to calm down.
As if she was dizzy to wait for his hand….
Min Ha-yeon caught her breath, then she grumbled as she held Seong Soo-ho’s hand.
“Next time… Won’t go like this Be prepared.”
Haha… I’ll look forward to it.”
Seong Su-ho started to leave the stadium with a smile and supporting Min Ha-yeon.
***
That’s how the duel with Min Ha-yeon ended.
There was a feeling that the ending was a bit futile.
Originally I was going to push a little harder….
“Ah… It was tougher than I thought.”
The problem was that the Thanatos soldiers summoned by Min Ha-yeon were much stronger than I thought.
I caught the first target with an active skill, but the other one bit more persistently than I thought, so I couldn’t press Min Ha-yeon any more.
After guiding the exhausted Min Ha-yeon to the waiting room, I started moving for the next match.
And as I moved like that, I took out the spirit spirit that had been inside my body and opened my mouth.
“Thank you for your willingness to help.”
The one who received my thanks and answered….
“Hyo-ho-ho! I’m sorry I couldn’t say goodbye because you left without a word. I’m glad I was able to help!”
He was Neo Yggdrasil’s gravekeeper.
‘I can understand that he has a high affinity, but I didn’t expect his skills to be this good….’
=====
$#%345
[Side LV 55], [Stealth LV 43], [Moonlight Slash LV 41]….
=====
First of all, not by my standards, but by Yggdrasil’s standards, she was a being with tremendous abilities.
Thanks to the gravekeeper, I was able to fight on an equal footing with Min Ha-yeon.
In fact, if he had shot his bow, he would have been able to finish the battle long ago.
However….
‘Because if I shot the bow, it would have ended too blandly….’
If that happens, the meaning of fighting Min Ha-yeon will be lost, so in the end, they compromised by using the art of possessing.
‘Well, thanks to this, I can get some help from this man while I’m in Yggdrasil. By the way….’
In my eyes, the Grave Keeper’s Temperament Window… The name part stood out, too.
I had never seen such a form before.
The era name summoned by the consulate.
And Yeonho’s words started to linger in my head.
‘This man doesn’t seem to know his real name.’
The gravekeeper had told me before that he did not know his name.
In other words, the story was not a lie.
I looked at the gravekeeper and thanked him with a smile.
“Then, if I have another request later, I will call you.”
“I will answer your summons at any time! Then, I’m done!”
The gravekeeper, who responded cheerfully, faded away, and then she went back to Neo Niflheim where she lived.
After parting ways with the graveyard….
I had a battle with another A-rank summoner.
The battle didn’t last long.
Even if they were grade A, they were at the level of children compared to Min Ha-yeon’s summons.
Just like that, after I officially won the tournament, I was facing a duel with the ruler, Domi Drake.
Min Ha-yeon grabbed me and said a word to me before the confrontation.
“Suho.”
“Yes?”
“Today….”
Min Ha-yeon whispered in my ear and began to spill the rest of her words.
“Because one slave is eagerly waiting. Do I really have to win?”
“….”
I stared blankly at Min Ha-yeon’s words and immediately jumped out into the arena.
In the distance, Domi Drake saw me running towards me and was looking at me with a disapproving look.
It was only after reaching the range where conversation was possible that the guy opened his mouth first.
“Even now, my proposal….”
“Oh, I am busy. Let’s fight quickly and finish.”
“What… What!?”
“I have a promise. Promise!
Domi Drake began putting golden metal gloves on his knuckles as he blushed at my ignorance and trembled.
“Great. That kind of attitude… I really like it. And I also like the way they look when crushed….”
It was the moment when he muttered to himself while wearing gloves like that.
〈 Will the ruler change today? Ready~~~ Start!〉
At the same time as the presenter’s call….
“Quaaaaagh!”
Dominic Drake charged at the giant and began to come flying at me like bullets.
But his bullet-like rush….
“It’s good because it’s fast!”
Aaaaang!
By the first stage arrow I shot….
“Kueeaek!”
The match was over in an instant as his body was penetrated.
〈 Uh… This, this….〉
The host’s overbearing words and the audience’s silence.
I left those two things and the corpse of Snapper Drake behind and started running, shouting to the audience.
“I have an appointment, so I’ll leave quickly! I’ll get the reward as I leave the Colosseum!”
