His eyes were shining so straight.
Straight eyes that believe they are not wrong at all.
It makes me feel sick.
In my past life, whenever we met, he would look at me with those eyes.
A look that seems to say, ‘You are a criminal.’
I looked at him blankly and said.
“Do you attack people just because you hear rumors floating around among them? What if those are just false rumors?”
It was well known that Seong Ui-gyeol had gained fame by capturing many awakened criminals and hunters of similar rank.
The only question is that his actions now seem somewhat sudden.
In my past life, I was looked down on, but I never touched it.
Why did you come to arrest me when I wasn’t even wanted by the Protectorate?
Seong Ui-gyeol spoke without yet disarming his weapons.
“I don’t believe all the rumors either. But I recently heard from the victims.”
“Victim?”
“Yes. Didn’t you attack innocent sect members?”
His voice was filled with anger.
I don’t remember attacking an innocent sect member.
Then suddenly I had a bad feeling.
“… … Is the sect you are talking about the Sura sect?”
“I see you remember now. The people of the Suramun you killed.”
Although there was friction with Suramun, I was the victim.
Besides, they weren’t killed because they were ordinary people.
“Where did you hear that news?”
“The Lord of Suramun has spoken.”
“… … Do you know what kind of place Suramun is? It’s said to be related to organized crime.”
“Are you trying to deceive me with lies? The Shuramun has been protecting the citizens by subduing the demons, and has also donated a large amount of money!”
As soon as the sect was established, Suramun began various activities to change its image.
Just as Seong Ui-gyeol did, he made donations here and there, and the story of Suramun saving ordinary people was published in various media outlets.
The fact that Shin A-ra, who looks kind, took over the position of Munju also contributed to the image refresh.
Even though rumors spread that Suramun was a gangster, people’s reactions were not bad.
He was called a righteous gangster, almost like a righteous thief.
It seemed that Seong Ui-gyeol was one of the people who supported the Suramun.
You idiot, you’re playing into Shin Ara’s hands.
She just poured a little oil on the fire of Seong Ui-gyeol’s sense of justice, and it started to move as he wanted.
Seong Ui-gyeol took an attacking stance and declared war on me.
“I won’t listen to any more excuses! Accept the offer!”
At the same time, Seong-ui-gyeol rushed towards me.
Although my rank is Yongilpum, my ability is higher.
Even so, it was not an opponent you could let your guard down against.
I immediately activated ‘Frost Flame’ to try to tie up Seong-ui-gyeol’s feet.
[The ability ‘Frost Flame’ is activated!]
[Activation is cancelled due to insufficient magic power!]
When the message to cancel activation appeared, I cursed inwardly.
I used up too much magic power fighting the Geumgang Yeoksa earlier.
As I activated multiple Five Elements, it seemed like the amount consumed was increasing faster.
At that moment, the sword of the Holy Spirit flew towards my head.
-Chae-Ang!
I immediately raised my sword and blocked his sword.
At this level, it’s bearable.
Seong Ui-gyeol also noticed this fact and gritted his teeth and shouted.
“As I heard, you are a very skilled person… …!”
“… … .”
“With this skill, instead of helping people, you go around killing them!”
You might say it’s a misunderstanding and ask me to listen to your story.
But instead of answering, I just swung my sword.
If it was going to be resolved through dialogue anyway, they wouldn’t have attacked in the first place.
[The ability ‘Fighting Instinct’ is canceled due to lack of magic power!]
As my fighting instinct was canceled, it felt like all the strength was drained from my body.
If it weren’t for the Geumgang History, we could have easily won.
In this situation, I had no choice but to stall for as long as possible and wait for someone else to come.
After I distanced myself from the situation, I spoke to Cuff.
“Where is everyone now?”
“[Master, I’m sorry! I can’t shake off the blue demon right now… …!]”
“[We just left. Are things bad?]”
It seemed like it would take too long for them to join us here.
Can I stop the sexual assault in this state?
He was waiting for an opportunity to attack with a face that didn’t show any signs of fatigue.

After I quickly finished calculating, I gave them further instructions.
“[Huh? Why would you do something like that… …?]”
“There’s no time to explain. First, that… …!”
-Wedge!
A sharp sword passed me by like an arrow flying.
At the same time, a crack appeared on my cheek and blood flowed down.
The sword of the Holy Spirit was seeping out of his flesh.
“Did you ask for reinforcements? How cowardly!”
“If we’re going to talk about cowardice in the first place, aren’t you the more cowardly for bringing up the history of Geumgang?”
“It was for justice! For justice, it’s okay to get my hands a little dirty… …!”
This is crazy.
It seemed like there was no point in talking any further.
Now all that remained was a conversation between swords.
-Kkaang, kkaang!
Even as the sound of metal rang out, almost ear-splitting, I was doing a pretty good job of blocking his attacks.
But I know.
That this is not all there is to the resolution.
And that my compatibility with Seong-ui-gyeol is the worst.
“I guess I should use this.”
Seong Ui-gyeol said so and raised his hand.
And at the same time the illusion of Libra appeared.
The sight of him holding a sword in one hand and scales in the other was quite familiar.
It was a symbol of the goddess of justice, Dike.
[The ability ‘Scales of Sin’ is activated!]
It felt like the surrounding scenery had turned black in an instant.
A giant illusion of scales was floating in the sky.
Seong Ui-gyeol shouted in a pious and confident voice.
“Oh God, punish me and the more evil one of my enemies!”
═══════════════
[Ability] Scales of Sin
[Rank] Dragon II
[Description] Select a target and compare the karma value with that of the caster. A penalty is imposed on the one with greater karma, and is weighted according to the size of the karma.
═══════════════
The scales, which had been parallel, began to tilt with the cry of determination.
-Squeak… … .
And the scales tilted toward me without a moment’s hesitation.
At the same time, several message windows appeared before my eyes.
[A penalty occurs due to the effect of the ability ‘Sinful Scales’!]
[All abilities are reduced by 20%!]
[The amount of magic power required to use abilities increases by 20%!]
[When attacked, additional damage is inflicted by 10%!]
In an instant, my body became heavy and my breathing became difficult.
One penalty was burdensome enough, but three of them were absolutely excruciating.
Seong Ui-gyeol clicked his tongue and said when he saw me like that.
“If the scales had tilted in my favor, I would have believed it was a misunderstanding… … . You really are a villain.”
“under.”
I laughed in vain.
It’s not convincing to say something like that now after rushing in with the intent to kill.
I spat out the blood that had gathered in my mouth and aimed my sword.
“Just shut up and attack me, you hypocrite.”
“… … !”
He started to get upset and started attacking me right away.
-Chaeng, chaeng, chaeng!
It was the same attack as before, but the circumstances were completely different.
Just following his attacks was a hassle.
I managed to block several attacks with great difficulty, but the wounds on my body were growing rapidly.
“You’re persistent! Give up and be punished!”
The number of times my defenses missed gradually increased.
The opponent’s weapon was a longsword, and it felt like I was being hit by a giant hammer.
At that moment, Shin Soo-ah’s voice was heard through the cuffs.
“[Brother, it’s done!]”
“[Master, it’s okay!]”
Is it finally done?
At the same time, the Sword of the Holy Spirit flew towards my heart.
-Phew!
As I barely managed to turn my body, the sword missed my vital spot and pierced my shoulder.
Red blood flowed down the sword.
Now I have no stamina left.
As I fell to my knees, Seong-ui-gyeol looked at me with eyes so clear that it was sickening.
“You’ve held on for a long time. I applaud you. But now it’s over.”
Seong Ui-gyeol raised his sword high like an executioner.
I said to him.
“Don’t you think it’s strange?”
“yes?”
“Why did I take your attack?”
“Pretending… …!”
-Bang!
At that moment, thick clouds of dust blocked my vision.
Seong Ui-gyeol was seen taking a step back in surprise.
He was looking up with big eyes.
“Why the boss… … ?!”
The Geumgang Yeoksa appeared, leading its huge body through the dust.
There was still ice stuck to various parts of his body, but it was all cracked and falling apart like broken glass.
The wounds that had covered his body had disappeared as if they had been washed away.
-Bang!
Geumgang Yeoksa immediately swung the Geumgangjeo towards Seongui Gyeol.
Seong-ui-gyeol barely managed to dodge the sudden attack, but was attacked again and again.
“Ugh… …! What the heck!”
Seong Ui-gyeol seemed to not understand this situation.
Yeah, I guess so.
Because he doesn’t know about the existence of the reinforcement device.
When I just checked the location of the people, they were all far from the boss area.
It seemed unlikely that I would last until they arrived.
In contrast, the reinforcement devices were relatively close by.
“[Brother, are you okay? Why did you tell me to turn on the device… … .]”
“Because we had to restore the history of Geumgang.”
As the automatic recovery effect was activated, the Diamond Age began to move again.
And when there are multiple enemies, Geumgang Yeoksa attacks the one with the highest threat first.
In other words, he attacked the vibrant Seong-ui-gyeol first, rather than me, who was completely battered.
That’s why I intentionally took the last attack.
Because I don’t want to make you think that I’m a more dangerous being.
Seong-ui-gyeol was desperately trying to block Geumgang-yeok-sa’s attacks and counterattack, but it was all useless due to the effects of the reinforcement device.
When he was cornered, he shouted in a loud voice.
“Oh God, punish me and the more evil one of my enemies!”
As if responding to the call, the scales appeared and began to move.
Seong Ui-gyeol looked up at the sky and smiled.
As if he was sure of victory.
And then, the scales began to tilt slowly.
Towards the direction of Seonguigyeol, not Geumgangyeoksa.
[There is no karma for ‘Diamond History’.]
“What? That, that can’t be… …!”
If you think about it a little, it’s obvious.
The Diamond Age was sealed until just now, and has not killed anyone since it was released.
So there was no such thing as karma.
[A penalty occurs due to the effect of the ability ‘Sinful Scales’!]
[All abilities are reduced by 20%!]
