At those words, Jang Tae-heon turned his head and glared at the other person.
The other person ended up keeping his mouth shut at that murderous gaze.
“Don’t touch Seo Kang-rim. I’ll beat you one-on-one.”
“Haven’t you been losing for several days now? What are you going to do if you can’t catch the snake?”
“I can win.”
“but…….”
“I don’t think so.”
As Jang Tae-heon spoke with a firm tone, the other person noticed and left.
Imoogi quietly watched them and thought that they were either Seo Kang-rim or Jang Tae-heon or some strange people.
The snake disappeared into the depths of the water again.
* * *
【Finally, finally!】
【Finally!】
【It’s finally the last day!】
The gods, who had been noisy for several days, were unusually aggressive today.
As soon as I entered the Demon Realm, he started sending out messages and trying to possess me, so it took me a long time to reject him.
【Will he come today? I mean Jang Tae-heon.】
【Ah, I have to! That’s the part I’m most looking forward to right now.】
【It would be fun if the descent happened on the last day.】
【Then the snake dies. What crime did the snake commit?】
【The sin of having the wrong owner.】
I took the beads out of my pocket while listening to the story of the gods.
Inside was a very small snake.
Just in case, I left the Imugi with Seongmin Seo last night, and he sealed it inside a bead like this.
I was anxious because the snake kept coming up to the surface last time, but now that I’ve sealed it like this, I feel a lot better.
But soon the seal will be broken.
A structure that forces the beads to break after a specified 6 hours.
-with a plop
When the marble was thrown into the water, a half-asleep snake emerged from it.
I spoke to the snake.
“It’s dangerous, so don’t come out. Just endure it for today.”
The snake looked at me with an indifferent expression and then disappeared into the water.
You understand, right?
He probably doesn’t want to die, and he’s a smart guy, so he won’t jump into a dangerous situation.
As I was watching the snake disappear, I heard a voice from behind me.
“Today is the last day.”
The wind swept sharply through the forest.
When I looked back, I saw Jang Tae-heon standing there.
The air felt as if it was freezing.
His expression was different than usual, as if he had made up his mind.
I asked Jang Tae-heon.
“Jang Tae-heon. What are you going to do if you lose to me? Are you going to find another snake to kill?”
“Don’t do something so shameful. You’d rather just get eliminated.”
Yeah. I guess that’s what his personality would be like.
But if that happens, it will be difficult for me.
“Then let’s do this. If I win, you will obey one of my commands.”
“Oh my. He thinks he can win.”
Jang Tae-heon walked forward with his teeth gnashing.
He felt as if energy was rippling behind his back.
“Let’s talk about that after we’re done!”
As he lunged, I activated my ability.
[The ability ‘Fighting Instinct’ is activated!]
As my ‘fighting instinct’ kicked in, I could hear my heart beating rapidly.
While the muscles in my entire body swelled and vibrated, my mind was still.
I wrapped my whole body in ‘Gwangyeomiljang’ and jumped towards Jang Tae-heon.
-Kaang!
Jang Tae-heon did not dodge my attack and instead took my sword directly.
As he blocked the burning sword with his gauntlet, the fire began to spread to him little by little.
Still, Jang Tae-heon was smiling.
“It’s not that hot!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jang Tae-heon swung his fist on the other side.
I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder blade, accompanied by a loud popping sound.
As I hastily stepped back before the additional attack came in, Jang Tae-heon was smiling brightly.
My left fist was on fire.
[The ability ‘Fire Resistance’ is activated!]
While fighting Jang Tae-heon, I became stronger and it became much easier for me to use my abilities.
But that also applies to Jang Tae-heon.

After throwing my fist into the fire dozens of times, I developed a tolerance.
“That ability is of no use now.”
He hit me even though both his fists were burning and blisters were forming.
As he said, this ability was no longer of much help.
Since it would be better to use my magic power elsewhere, I quickly released ‘Gwangyeomiljang’.
Jang Tae-heon said, swinging his fist to put out the fire.
“What should I do? I believed in that one thing and rushed in. What should I do now…?”
-Crunch!
I showed the answer with actions rather than words.
As the sword I swung cut Jang Tae-heon’s arm, blood spurted out along with the hem of his clothes.
Jang Tae-heon asked with surprised eyes.
“What the hell is that?”
Until now, I had been using a sword I bought at a store.
That was enough to fight Jang Tae-heon.
But I had to win today, so I took out my map.
The sword energy surrounding the Chiljido was sharpening its blades in seven directions.
When the enhanced body met the Seven Maps, it felt like it was dancing with joy.
I could now fully realize how flimsy the swords I had been using were.
-Chaeng, Chaeng!
Jang Tae-heon’s expression, gestures, and breathing as he desperately tries to block the attack.
His body was sending out countless signals.
-Whoa!
“Huh!”
As Jang Tae-heon was unable to dodge in time, one of the Chiljido’s blades cut deeply into his thigh.
Now that my mobility has been reduced, the upper hand has passed to me.
At that moment, Jang Tae-heon’s eyes lit up.
“You pulled out the strange weapon first, so isn’t that foul play?”
As he said that, Jang Tae-heon stepped back and put some distance between them.
【Huh? Why is that guy so far away?】
【He’s a fighter, what are you going to do by keeping the distance?】
【Did you bring a new weapon?】
Jang Tae-heon’s fighting style shines in close quarters.
But if he’s going to distance himself, he’s going to use that ability.
A red energy began to appear on Jang Tae-heon’s right arm.
[The ability ‘Invisible Spear’ is activated!]
Those who have been possessed by a spirit are bound to be influenced by the spirit behind them in many ways.
The weapon mainly used by his subordinate, Jangbi, was the legendary spear, Jangpalsamo.
Jang Tae-heon grabbed the air as if throwing a javelin and roared at me.
“Try avoiding this too!”
The sharp aura took the shape of a spear and slammed down towards me.
While I was hastily dodging an attack coming from a distance, Jang Tae-heon rushed toward me.
Is this the speed you can go at even if you break your legs?
-Quaqua light!
“Ugh… … !”
I thought his fist was flying, but soon he grabbed a spear made of magical power and struck me.
The shapeless spear was running wild and chasing me.
【No, are you crazy, Muhyungchang?】
【Can Kangrim stop that?】
【How can I withstand a surprise attack…? Huh?】
【Hold on?】
If I had only expected close combat, this would have been an attack that would have knocked me down long ago.
But I already knew a lot about him.
Also, he is not familiar with the invisible window.
-Snap!
I aimed for the moment when the movement increased while swinging the spear, and dug into the center.
Jang Tae-heon let out a gasp as I jabbed my elbow into his temple.
But it wasn’t a fatal blow.
I hadn’t directly attacked him until now, but if the invisible spear had come out, I had to be sincere.
[The ability ‘Fighting Instinct’ responds to your fighting spirit and evolves into a noble one!]
It was as if both eyes had been opened, and the orbit and vital points came into view.
My fighting spirit was showing me the way.
At this moment, I forgot everything and just thought about the opponent in front of me, about victory, and my heart burned.
I cut down the path that my fighting spirit showed me with all my might.
-Crunch!
He lifted the sword and cut his chest diagonally in a large cut.
Hot blood spurted out in all directions.
Jang Tae-heon tried to hold on, but his eyes rolled back and he fell down.
-Kuung… … !
After he collapsed, there was a long silence.
Jang Tae-heon was no longer moving.
The voices of the gods were heard through the silence.
【Wow, Seo Kang-rim won?】
【What, what? How did you win?】
【You even took out the invisible spear and you lost?】
He might have won if he hadn’t taken out the invisible spear.
No matter how powerful the intangible spear was, he had almost no experience handling a spear at the moment.
Choosing an unfamiliar weapon was a mistake.
[The ability ‘Fighting Instinct’ is released.]
Although I won, I was also hit hard in many ways.
Both my physical strength and magical power were almost depleted.
Of course, it was nothing compared to Jang Tae-heon’s condition.
【Jang Tae-heon, wouldn’t you die at this point?】
【Look at the blood.】
【Still, you avoided the vital spot.】
I said I was restraining myself, but I did too much.
I sprinkled the remaining healing potion on Jang Tae-heon’s wounds.
Although the bleeding was stopped, this level of recovery medicine was not enough to cure everything.
It seemed like he had to be woken up and taken to Father John, or sent back to Jang Tae-heon’s educational facility.
The moment I sat down next to Jang Tae-heon and tried to wake him up.
-Kwak-kwak!
A bullet came flying from behind.
Since I hadn’t put down my sword yet, I was barely able to raise it and block it.
The attack began as the ricocheting bullets hit the ground.
-Kaaaang!
Three men rushed at me at the same time and thrust their swords at me.
I quickly looked at their faces as I took their swords.
Faces I’ve never seen before.
The number of people in Zone 3 was clear.
Their faces were flushed with excitement.
“Okay. This kid is tired too!”
I guess he was waiting for me to get tired.
As you can see, they are all awakened at the level of humans.
Normally, I would have taken him down quickly, but I was completely exhausted from the fight with Jang Tae-heon.
“Let’s knock it down quickly and move on!”
-Kagan, kang, kaang!
Their attacks began to sweep in from all directions.
Three of them attacked from close range, while one or two others were hiding in the bushes, shooting guns or using sorcery.
Damn, this is getting annoying.
【What the heck are these guys?】
【Hey, hey Kangrim, are you okay?】
【Is Seo Kang-rim acting so ridiculously?】
【Isn’t that what Jang Tae-heon had on standby?】
My head was dizzy from the voices of gods and humans.
For now, it seemed like a good idea to retreat.
Just as I was trying to step back and create some distance between us.
-Thud!
I felt something rattling against my foot, causing pain.
A trap used to catch bears was holding my shins.
【It’s a trap!】
【Hey, isn’t that a trap for catching animals?】
【These kids are serious.】
My body froze for a moment as if my leg was being cut off.
As my movements were blocked, they pounced on me as if they had been waiting for me.
“This is the end… … Eww!”
But the screams came from their mouths, not mine.
An unexpected object appeared before my eyes.
-Shhh!
The snake was sinking its teeth into the back of the guy’s neck.
As the poison spread, his face quickly turned purple.
There was a badge with my name written on it around the snake’s neck.
【Wow, is this snake here to help?】
【This is the snake that repaid the favor.】
【This guy was a tsundere just like his owner!】
When the Imoogi appeared, the people in Area 3 were seen standing still in surprise.
It seemed like we had the upper hand when the Imoogi appeared, but that wasn’t the case.
I had to return the snake immediately.
But words were already flowing out of people’s mouths.
“What, what is it? What kind of snake is this big?”
“Is this a snake?”
“It must be a snake! If not a snake, then what!”
At the word snake, Imugi’s body flinched and froze.
Damn, we have to stop this now.
I had to run away with the snake, but the steel trap did not break easily.
I tried to forcefully twist my leg out, but all that came out was pain and blood.
【Seo Kang-rim, you crazy bastard!】
【Hey, I see bones!】
【You’re gonna get your legs cut off, you punk!】
My legs weren’t in any hurry right now.
The snake’s body began to bulge and change shape.
The personnel in District 3 also sensed something was wrong and turned their weapons on Imoogi instead of me.
“Hey, there’s something strange about this snake?”
“What’s so strange? Just kill him first!”
Several people rushed in and swung their weapons at the snake.
The snake’s flesh fell off and blood dripped down.
When attacked, the snake’s body began to distort even more.
[The status of ‘Imugi’ begins to change!]
