How to Survive as a Player Chapter 113

#113

“I don’t understand…” . “If I see you doing this damn thing to find just one Celestial Race, I just want to kill them all.”

Park Seung-gun always insisted on new things. But in reality, he was standing here with the appearance of worn-out sand. In the form of a monster that barely maintains its human form.

That’s what I thought when I saw him. I wonder if each of the people gathered at Elix is ​​extremely lacking in something.

“Unless you want to be buried here in peace with the Celestial Race, come here quietly. Or should we first peel off Yu Si-un’s skin? They were both so scared that they wanted to die. “What are you going to do with these guys who throw tantrums when you prod them, huh?”

The strange face smiling without any tension seemed to be enjoying this situation. Sehyun felt the hand that was holding her clothes loosen. The person who came in front of Sehyun was a frog man. One of the bare sleeves was blown and swayed by the hot wind.

“Ha, what is this guy again? To die instead? haha! Do Se-hyeon, you are so amazing. “I made all the frog cubs obey.”

“Frog.”

It was a small light. With that small back, the frog man did not back down and blocked Sehyun’s path. It was as if he was telling me not to worry. He had a defense artifact that he had not yet used.

But apart from that, Sehyeon believed in Yu Si-un and the Celestial Race.

“… “Don’t be mistaken.”

Yu Si-un’s black eyes and the hard eyes of the Celestials turned to Se-hyeon. There were faces that couldn’t even remember how long it had been since they last breathed outside air. There was tension, anxiety, and faith within it.

From the beginning, Sehyun had expected Park Seung-gun to be here.

“I expected you to be here. and.”

Sehyeon’s gaze was fixed on one of the numerous Celestials. When our eyes met, the man nodded with determination. That’s enough.

“Even guys like this, when they get cornered, they ask.”

The moment Park Seung-gun’s eyes twitched, an ultra-high frequency sound that scratched his ears erupted from beyond the flames. Everyone who was holding the Celestial Race at the terrible noise covered their ears, sat down on the floor, and started vomiting.

Park Seung-gun was no different. Because the distance was quite far, the damage was less than those closer to him, so he didn’t collapse, but there was enough room for Yu Si-un to escape.

Ultra-high frequency was a skill possessed by one of the Celestial Race. It was an easy skill to confuse as it could be used only once a day for the purpose of confusion. Sehyeon instructed to use this skill when everyone is in one place and when everyone is focused on one place. Like right now.

The Celestials are okay. In the first place, that attack was harmless to fellow Celestials.

However, like Yu Si-un’s skill, the duration was short, so it could not be held for long.

“Fly, now…” !”

Sehyun shouted with all her might. Starting with Sehyeon’s cry, the Celestial Race began to flap their wings towards the sky. All the crouching Celestials spread their huge wings and leaped into the air one by one.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the procession that filled the sky. It felt like something was stirring. Pure white wings filled the sky to a dizzying degree.

It was then that something flew at Sehyeon.

“Sehyeon!”

Sehyun reflexively grabbed it. Yoo Si-woon, who flapped his small wings and flew up, was looking at Se-hyeon with a face full of worry.

What Yoo Si-un threw was an artifact brooch that had only been used once. When his eyes met, Yu Si-un nodded his head slightly, cut through the smoke mixed with flames, and descended down the rain fair along with some of the Celestial Race. This was the place where Sehyun would jump.

“under… f*ck… . Do Se-hyeon, you… .”

Bang-bang-bang-

As if the tinnitus was spreading, Park Seung-gun staggered around holding his head and started shooting here and there with an unaimed gun. Sometimes towards the floor, sometimes towards the air.

Sehyeon quickly put on the brooch, turned it around, and grabbed the hand of the frog man who was blocking her path. The location was towards the fire where Yu Si-un disappeared. It was the escape route that Yoo Si-woon had told me about.

“Catch that bastard… “You can kill me, so catch me!”

Taang-

A magic bullet fired from afar passed by Sehyeon. The number of bullets fired gradually increased. They were all shot by men who had escaped the aftereffects of ultra-high frequency waves.

Sehyeon held the frog man’s hand tightly and cut through the fierce flames. However, just before jumping into the flames, the artifact’s shield was completely shattered by the bullet he fired and disappeared. He braved the intense heat and raised his arm to block it, but he didn’t feel any heat.

The hand that was holding the frog man was already empty.

When Sehyun lifted her gaze and looked ahead, there was a faint curtain around her. The faint film became transparent again as the flames disappeared. Sehyun realized something and immediately turned around. The frog man was beyond the fire that Se-hyeon had come through.

He just stood there quietly looking at Sehyun beyond the flickering flames.

Sehyun reflexively searched inside her clothes. And I could see the brooch attached to the inside of the left garment. The brooch that Se-hyeon used was already cracked on the inside of the right side of her clothes.

Only then did I realize it. That he gave up his share.

“… No… .”

The frog man blinked his eyes without any expression. But soon he turned his back on Se-hyeon and blocked the men who were running with guns in hand.

It was the same back as before. Only then did I realize what that little back had endured. Even when he heard the long-term plan, he had a disapproving look on his face.

The frog man probably didn’t like the ending. The last part is the poorest part of Sehyun’s plan. That part involved Sehyeon’s safety.

He thought that Sehyeon would not be able to escape from here. So he gave up his brooch while Se-hyeon slept, and even now he was trying to be the last one on Se-hyeon’s behalf.

Sehyeon quickly stretched out his arms. Park Seung-gun came closer and the muzzle of the gun was aimed precisely at the frog man’s head.

“no!”

But sooner than that, the frog man rushed towards Park Seung-gun. He rushed forward like a bison with his small body, grabbed Park Seung-gun’s waist and knocked him backwards.

“Frog!”

Sehyun’s body suddenly stiffened. Countless bullets rained down on the frog man’s body. His hand, which had been stretched out into the air at the devastating sound of the gunshot, gradually lowered. Sehyeon, who was looking at the shimmering shadow, gradually took one step, then two steps, back.

Along with the sound of empty breathing, something filled me with tears.

It was then that a brilliant light began to burn at Sehyun’s fingertips. It was a dazzling golden light. As the frog man’s life faded away, that light consumed Sehyun’s body and burned brighter.

The frog man mustered his last strength and turned his head with difficulty. Beyond the flames was Sehyeon, engulfed in bright light. I couldn’t see his face because of the flickering flames, but I could clearly see his fingertips, which seemed to have stiffened in sadness.

The frog man had a skill that he did not reveal to Sehyeon. It was a skill that should not be known and could not be made known.

<Will to Sacrifice LV.1>

It was a skill that could protect others at the cost of one’s own life. This was why the frog man followed her here, risking her life.

The duration became longer as the willingness to sacrifice increased. So at least until he leaves here, he will be safe from all external attacks.

That was enough for the frog man. The image that had been shimmering in the flames gradually began to settle down. It seemed like it was time. The frog man slowly closed his eyes, seeing Sehyun dying in his black, dying vision.

‘please… .’

It felt like I suddenly heard something like that. The black, dead vision sank deep, deep, leading him into the deep water. When he reached the end, the frog man encountered an afterimage he had forgotten.

It was a time when people were wandering around the white space, mourning the loss of their country.

At that time, the frog man met a man named Billwill and asked him how to become stronger.

‘A croak.’

<How to get strong skills?>

‘A croak.’

<Well. Isn’t this when you felt like you wanted to become stronger? Or when you feel like you want to protect someone enough to sacrifice yourself.>

‘A croak.’

<‘Will to sacrifice’… . That skill isn’t something you can just use. It is a skill that can only be used if you have the will to do so.>

He was a man whose eyes behind the monocle were calm and warm. At the smile he showed, the frog man stopped crying mournfully and looked up at him endlessly.

<It’s okay. You will definitely become stronger.>

It was then that white letters appeared between the clearly engraved afterimages. The writing was so brilliant that it dazzled the eyes.

<Aren’t you a ‘king without a country’?>

[‘The sorrow of a king who lost his country’ skill conditions have been met.]

[Unlock the skill.]

<When a king who has lost everything wishes to protect something, sacrifice will be on your side.>

The afterimage that had been forgotten faded along with the man’s smile. The deep, deep water turned into a huge whirlpool and began to swallow her man.

The pain of my entire body being peeled off and reborn came. The unfamiliar sensation of tissues tearing and sticking together, the cold blood boiling, and the feeling of a stopped heart coming back to life. Everything was vivid and unfamiliar.

And when all preparations were completed, the rough whirlpool turned into foam and disappeared. The frog man was the only one left in the quiet place.

When he struggled to open his eyes, he discovered brilliant writing floating through the black water. That was the hope the frog man wanted so much.

[‘Giant Steel Boots’ LV.1 has been acquired.]

A skill that only a king without a country can obtain. The Frog Man was a king who lost his empire and survived alone, and he lived his life resenting himself.

<I miss you too. Your roar.>
