Episode 217
Helena asked me as if I didn’t know why I was asking.
“… … If someone with that much power were to strike down from above, ordinary people would just bow down. But not you, Lord Jin Shihou. Instead, you went and beheaded one of the ascendants and even destroyed a star, so the other side would be like, “Oh no.”
This is also quite plausible.
“And, and I’m being very careful about this, the Ascendants and the Stars story did not touch Jin Shihou.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I think you’re talking about the case of Jeongbin, who died as a zombie emperor. Strictly speaking, the ascended side presented several opinions, and the story of the stars chose one of them. In the end, they did their job, but it went against Jin Shihou’s wishes. So.”
“Both of you, do you have something to prick me with?”
“Yes. Rather, I am curious. Didn’t you know?”
He chuckled. He felt like smoking.
So I took Helena outside to the smoking room. I sat down and lit a cigarette.
If you finish answering.
“I knew. I just didn’t say anything.”
“So what are you going to do now?”
“What’s the big deal? We need to find the guy responsible for Jeongbin’s death and kill him all.”
“… … .”
“Helena.”
“yes.”
“This is my way. I track down and kill anyone who touches my people.”
Helena asked me with a strange smile.
“Me?”
“huh?”
“Am I one of Jin Shi-hoo’s people?”
I took a couple of puffs of my cigarette, looking at Helena’s expectant face.
hmm.
“Suddenly, I remember the time I was wearing a strange dress at the Deep Sea Gate.”
“When did you hear that story… … . And that dress is expensive. It costs over a hundred million won.”
“Listen to me until the end. That dress suits you well. And you’re my man.”
Helena looks slightly moved. Her expression is quite colorful and quite attractive.
“Really? That’s good.”
“what?”
“When I die, you will get revenge.”
I ended up laughing.
“Don’t die. I wouldn’t feel good when my person dies.”
For a moment, Helena was silent.
He seems a little surprised. He also seems a little sad.
“Why, all of a sudden?”
“… … It’s just that, revenge is revenge, but I don’t think you’ve ever considered the position of Jin Shi-hoo, who has a lot of experience losing his own people.”
He shrugged.
anyway.
“The Abyss is opening today, so will it be a normal Abyss, or a different Abyss just for me?”
“It would be the latter.”
Helena looked 100% sure.
A smile appears on the lips.
“If it goes as you say, I’ll bring you another nice gift.”
Helena smiled brightly.
like that.
As time passed, it was time to enter the Abyss.
* * *
Star #2403.
Jamie Wilson looked at the hologram floating in front of him.
[This Abyss is about ‘competition’.]
[Twilight Desert (Best)]
[Basilisk’s Cave (Top)]
[Ancient City New York (Middle)]
[India where nuclear war broke out (Part 2)]
Jamie Wilson chose the best without a moment’s hesitation.
Desert of twilight.
I don’t know what this is.
Still, I chose it.
There was no reason to hesitate.
I’ve experienced the Abyss a total of 4 times so far.
The flow of the Abyss was mostly similar.
First, there is a historical event.
To be a little more specific, there is a historical figure who causes a historical event.
Choosing whether to kill or keep that character alive is the core of the Abyss.
In America, Jamie has killed Abraham Lincoln and slaughtered native people.
And he participated in the Abyss in Asia and tried to kill Yi Sun-sin, but was stopped by Jin Song-i.

These three were formal Abysses, and the remaining one was a ‘competitive Abyss’.
During the competitive Abyss, I was unable to do anything and retired.
Life was overflowing, but it didn’t deserve to be left like that.
I was sold and angry.
Jamie gritted his teeth.
This time it will be different.
This time, I won’t retire as stupidly as before.
Jamie entered the Abyss with a determined expression, and his expression immediately hardened.
There was a huge number of ‘corpses’ in front of him.
They were the ones who chose the best Abyss ahead of Jamie.
This one needs a little explanation.
Guilds usually decide where to go when the Abyss is scheduled in advance.
In the case of those with many S-rank awakened members, they either take all guild members to the intermediate level, or negotiate with several guilds to enter the upper or highest level.
What about freelancers who don’t have a guild?
It was simple.
At least 70% of the time, choose the highest difficulty level.
The reason was simple.
It’s because of the reward.
Naturally, the highest difficulty Abyss gives more rewards than other difficulty Abysses.
Besides, it’s not like your life is actually at stake.
All it does is consume life.
It was a kind of gamble, and it was all too obvious that it would lead to a rush to the top, like Las Vegas or Macau.
That’s why there are so many people.
The fact that most of them are corpses is another matter.
Jamie’s gaze turns straight ahead.
There was a man there with blood on both his hands.
The head was big.
He was big. He was tall and had big legs.
He was a big man overall.
About 2m tall.
There was a strange energy flowing from his two eyes, which was unpleasant to look at.
The confusion was brief.
Jamie’s expression instantly turned cold.
This Abyss is a competition.
Although the sample size is small, if we think of it as being similar to last time, there is a high probability that we will have an ‘enemy’ and compete with them.
The author in front of you is the enemy.
It was when Jamie was trying to cheer up.
“Are you Jin Shi-hoo?”
My eyebrows furrow.
A name I’ve heard so often lately, Jin Shihou.
Why is that name mentioned here again?
That was when.
A thin voice was heard from a corner, out of Jamie’s sight.
“I told you, that’s not him either.”
The giant man chuckled.
“Oh, really? Then that’s fine.”
He didn’t seem to have any intention of talking.
The man’s shoulders flinched. Jamie instinctively jumped backwards.
Paaang-!!
The man’s fist pierced through where Jamie’s head had been moments ago.
Blood splattered on the floor sprays in all directions.
Jamie felt that this was a formidable opponent.
Immediately, the unique characteristic was revealed.
[Declare territory.]
[Time Sweeper.]
Jamie’s signature skill, and the skill he’s most confident in. Slows down everything.
The giant man’s eyes lit up, but that was it.
Bam.
The man’s body disappears with the sound of footsteps.
Jamie’s eyes opened wide.
That was it.
Phew-!!
With a loud noise, what had been Jamie’s head exploded in all directions.
Jamie left so helplessly.
The giant man had no interest in Jamie like that.
He shook his bloody hands and asked in an irritated voice toward the corner across from him.
“So when is that kid named Jin Shi-hoo going to come?”
Helena’s judgment was correct.
This Abyss was a different kind of Abyss for Jin Shihou, who had returned to Star #2403.
There is a clear difference between being directly involved and being indirectly involved.
[Descent of the Constellations].
This is the best skill that a constellation can grant to those who have made a contract with it.
Behind the man, there were about 140 people.
Now all the constellations have gathered to hold Jin Shihou accountable.
“Could it be that this kid went to another Abyss?”
When many people gather together, courage that was not there before is created.
* * *
I also thought about going to another Abyss.
My sister’s condition wasn’t that good, so it would be comfortable for both me and my sister if we just went together to an Abyss with a moderate difficulty level.
But there was no need to do that.
so.
I entered on the highest difficulty level.
I was a little surprised when I came in.
Because all the people who said they would come in beforehand were dead.
If you turn your gaze a little, you can see Yoon Young-soo.
My heart was pierced.
They say that you don’t actually die when [Life] is consumed, but I’m not sure.
Is that right?
Isn’t it actually about dying and being reconstructed?
It was a somewhat philosophical question.
When I looked to the other side, Hong Hyun was dead there. And next to him was Gabriela, the Mexican native awakener I had seen before?
He was dead with his limbs torn off, which was a bit unbelievable.
Aren’t you running too fast from the start?
The eyes are narrowed.
A man is seen sitting on Hong Hyun’s back, who is now a corpse.
I immediately reached out and grabbed the shoulder of my older sister who was next to me.
If I hadn’t stopped her, she would have done all sorts of things with her already tired body.
Slowly, the corpses surrounding them turned to dust and disappeared.
The man stands up from his seat.
He chuckled.
“Is that you? Jin Shihou?”
I silently took out a cigarette and lit it. As soon as I lit it, a huge man approached me. He reached out and grabbed my shoulder.
I stared blankly at the man.
“I asked, are you Jin Shi-hoo?”
The answer was not stated verbally.
after.
The smoke coming out of my mouth covers the face of a huge man.
The man furrowed his brow.
“Looking at the fact that it’s cheap, it’s true.”
“But who?”
“Me? [The Traveler Who Ruled the World].”
“The name is Gine.”
The man who introduced himself as [the traveler who ruled the world] snickers.
“It’s a nickname, so it’s long. It’s my real name.”
I waited silently.
I guess some great name will come out of it since it’s killing time.
“Alexander III (Αλέξανδρος ο Μέγας). This is my real name.”
When I was going to school, I took classes diligently.
There’s no way I don’t know that name.
however.
“There seems to be some misunderstanding.”
“Huh, now? Why? Are you scared?”
This time he shook his head again.
I reached out and grabbed Alexander’s wrist, which was resting on my shoulder.
Gave strength.
Knock knock knock.
“Ahem… … .”
Alexander’s hand is crushed.
This is the part where I said there was a misunderstanding.
why.
“Why is a worthless kid holding on to weight?”
“……what?”
I just grabbed the bastard’s arm and pulled it to the opposite side. His balance was lost. I swung my right fist hard.
Paaaaaaaah-!!
There was a loud noise and Alexander’s body was blown far away.
He put a cigarette in his mouth and turned his gaze towards his older sister.
I was shaking.
It’s not like I’m scared or anything.
Should I call it anger?
Although they have disappeared now, until just a moment ago, there were countless corpses of guild members of the Salvation Guild, including Hong Hyun and Yoon Young-soo.
I was convinced by the conversations we had before.
My older sister has the same perspective on ‘life’ as I do.
I don’t know the exact principle, but it’s certain that you consume life and go through a process of resurrection, so it’s right to think of it as having died once.
Losing someone close to you in any way.
This is driving me crazy.
I didn’t really have anything to say.
just.
“Wake up, sis.”
