“…it’s finally over.”
Ryu Seo-yeon, dressed as a janitor, wiped the sweat. Her mask was wet with sweat and stuck to her nose.
The black hawk’s messy interior cleaning was just finished. Even though I wanted to ventilate, it was difficult to get rid of the smell because it was a type window that could not be opened and closed.
‘It’s the same with rotting corpses in mines.’
It wasn’t difficult to recover the Black Hawk thanks to Ahat taking care of the demons that attacked this place. However, the remains were left unattended for several days. So the sight I saw when I went inside was…
‘Ugh. It was terrible.’
A hallway infested with flies and maggots.
As I was aspiring to be a hero, I had seen blood and serious injuries, so I thought it was okay, but I couldn’t help the smell.
Fortunately, Ryu Seo-yeon wasn’t the only one with nausea. Even members of the Red Hawk, an active mercenary, were able to get inside only after they cleared their stomachs. Even if the air purifier works, it took quite a while to get rid of the smell because it was already smashed.
A janitor with a strong physique approached from behind Ryu Seo-yeon. In her hand, always holding a gun, was a dirty wheat stick.
“This one is almost finished.”
“phew. Thanks for your work. Then take a break and finish everything within today as scheduled.”
“Yep. I will pass it on.”
When the janitor returned, Ryu Seo-yeon pulled a chair and sat down.
“I’m tired.”
I laid down my tired body and turned my chair to look out the window. There was a red moon rising in the sky and a deserted street.
This time, I made a new device to identify the demons in a hurry. Now, wearing leather and turning it inside out will be meaningless.
widely. Ryu Seo-yeon put his dagger on the desk. It is the artifact that peels off the skin as it is. A few weeks ago, I almost got killed by a demon here with this dagger.
‘The secretary sister also died…’
The reason I have this sword, which I want to dispose of right now, is to not forget the memories of that day. To prevent that from happening again, the safe zone had to come back.
However, the ‘tower’s protection’ to protect the safe zone still shows no sign of returning. To solve the problem, you must meet the master of the tower, but erosion is still coming down from the upper floors of the tower. In the end, the only way was to get to the top as soon as possible.
‘Park Noah. He said that the person called the tower’s child also came to his senses, so there’s no problem.’
For alliance with the imperial family, now only Black Hawk is restarted. The temple was originally a friendly force to Seo Ji-han, so it was as if they had already agreed to the alliance.
It will take a while to start making weapons, but if you hurry up, you will be able to solve it within a month. In addition, your older sister, Seo-Hyun Ryu, will soon be in good health.
At that time, you will be able to hand over the command over the Red Hawk again and focus on the Black Hawk. It’s almost like solving the biggest magic problem, so now it’s time to solidify the inner unity.
‘It’s easy. It’s easy, but…’
something bothers me If you’re cruising all the time, someday you’ll run into a problem. I couldn’t release the tension.
Ryu Seo-yeon picked up a glass box. And she looked at Liu, who was procrastinating in it.
“It’s nice to have you too.”
Liu moved as if she understood what it meant.
“Ehh. I will die.”
“Isn’t that because I smoke a lot?”
“It’s okay because nicotine is purified after smoking.”
“It’s like pleasure without responsibility.”
“Are you going to keep yelling at me?”
puck! Astiel kicked my shoulder with his foot. I thought it would hurt how much it would hurt if the saint had hit him, but I felt a tingling sensation because he was hit so close.
I was now dying, leaning on the sofa with Astiel. Cigarette butts piled up on the ashtray on the table.
···I think secondhand smoke is worse, but this may be the reason that my endurance ability is lowered.
“Aww! Who the hell are these yangbans…!”
Astiel looked nervously at the reports he had received earlier. He turned his head to ask if there was something stabbing him.
“These people?”
“uh. I have no idea who the people who raided Desaruuk were. No matter how much I researched, nothing came up.”
Well. One is right in front.
“…I touched the seal and ran away, but the state of the seal is still fine.”
“Wasn’t it people who were like geeks? I came here to check the sealing status.”
“Ugh. According to the testimony of the paladins, it seems that there was no intention to cause harm… I don’t think that’s it.”
“Hey, how do you trust people with their faces covered?”
Astiel, who was lying on the sofa, got up.
“Besides, according to my knowledge, only a person like you can touch a seal made with such a holy thing.”
Astiel looked at me with sullen eyes. Are you in doubt?
“Why, why?”
“If you have nothing to do, would you like some coffee? I will give you money.”
Also Golbin… No, I’m still stupid. I sighed in relief and shook my head.
“That’s Okay. how much do you do that Is it sweet enough?”
“yes. Add a shot too.”
When I got up, Astiel lay down on the sofa with her legs stretched out. A wrinkled nun’s robe falls to the floor. In addition, there are white stockings that have been taken off on one side.
‘···This is a saint candidate.’
I shut the door firmly to see if anyone could see me.
The branch of Yoosung Academy began to function normally. Aspiring heroes are also roaming around, and the rescued and temporary civilians are doing just fine.
Well, this is possible thanks to sufficient materials.
The ‘principal’, who usually does not intervene in the scenario, mainly handles such tasks so that the player does not get tired from external affairs. Rescuing people takes care of things like space and food for those people, and buildings that collapse after the battle is over.
Most of the amenities in the academy were still not working properly, but a few were open. However, since there are so many people, it takes a year to even purchase an item.
“Ah, sorry.”
Whoops! I bumped into someone while walking with bruises. I apologized to him and sighed.
I’m terribly tired He hasn’t slept properly since the day he attacked Desaruuk. Although he succeeded in acquiring the traits of the gnome through ‘personality transformation’. However, even when the ‘strong mind’ was activated, the mental fatigue was still there.
Until now, thanks to ‘folk remedies’, I felt refreshed when I woke up after sleeping anywhere, but even the privileges were of no use because I couldn’t fall asleep and kept waking up.
I checked the status window.
【Personality】 : [Predictive dream]
-You can see the future every time you sleep.
What was acquired with the 49th privilege, ‘Personality Transformation’, was the characteristic that Desaruk had, ‘Foreknowledge Dream’.
Note that in the original story, it was not implied that Desaruuk had this ability. Maybe it wasn’t mentioned as a McGuffin, maybe it was because of the increased difficulty.
‘the problem is···.’
It’s just that this personality works in a strange way.
In my dream, I was playing a game in the stadium. It shows the day I am playing again as a pro gamer who has long since retired.
‘Well, what do you mean?’
What I wanted to see was the ending of the scenario, not that. But no matter how much I slept, it was such a dream. .
This predictive dream occurred automatically every time I slept, so I couldn’t sleep deeply. Repeatedly waking up from a nap that is always dreaming. It keeps repeating itself and it’s getting crazy.
At least he was enduring while being treated with divine power by Astiel and the Holy Sword, if not…
“What are you thinking about?”
I turned around when I heard a voice behind me. Then the canned drink flew in front of her. When I grabbed it, I could feel a cold feeling in my hand as if it had just been pulled out.
“I am going to fall. Do you look very tired these days?”
It was Noah Park who threw drinks at me. As if she had just been wearing her body, her whole body was wet with sweat. The black hair she had always untied was also tied up in a handful to expose the nape of her neck, perhaps because it was hot.
“A long time. He said he was being trained by Drakhan-san.”
“uh. No, it’s not a joke.”
Noah Park shook her head as if to stop talking. It seems that the rotten expression on her face is what Drakhan is rolling around. The facilities of the Yoosung Academy would be good, too, and Drakhan was in the middle of intensive training with Park Noah.
“Rian also has a hard time, so he’s lying down now. I came out to buy a drink and take a break.”
“her. It wouldn’t be a joke if Arwell was tired.”
“Riel is also teaching Rihanna.”
Considering Riel’s personality, Arwell must have suffered. She can only imagine what she saw in Hell Road.
“The president asked me to buy you some coffee.”
“Oh, you are with my sister. For temple work?”
“It’s similar. Getting ready to climb the tower. First of all, I am not a member of the temple, but I have the Holy Sword, so I guess my opinion is needed.”
“Ah, that’s what…”
Park Noah was speechless for a moment.
“I met Topju when I lost consciousness. The 103rd top owner.”
I looked at Noah Park, startled by the words. She felt like she had just woken up from her hazy mind.
“for a moment. Did you mean that you met Top Joo directly?”
“no. not that tidy. If I did, I would have told you sooner.”
Noah Park traced her memory.
“I could only hear his voice, but somehow I got used to it. She must have met someday. He said something, but I can’t remember. But now that I see it, I think it would be better to tell it first.”
Noah Park nodded and smiled.
“Oh, you haven’t seen Ellen lately, have you? I didn’t want to go back now, so I kept holding on. It’s been almost a month since I came down from the 25th floor, and Ms. Moo Myung also came and came back.”
“ah. I’ve been tinkering for too long Sorry for holding you. Then go ahead.”
I opened a can of drink while watching Noah Park’s back. Cool carbonation hit his throat.
. I never thought of such a contact. Whoa! Then the phone vibrated in my pocket. When I checked, it was the call I was waiting for.
From the other side, I heard the energetic voice of Ahat, who seemed to have regained his health.
[-I think we should start soon. How about it?]
“I’m fine. I will arrive at the time you call.”
Anyway, the Alliance now only has to wait for the restart of the Black Hawk. Until then, I plan to learn the magic of the wind attribute and strengthen it with [Essence Exploration] and [Essence Exploration Above].
If my personality was caught on something that wasn’t directly helpful in battle…
‘It’s just a perk.’
