#Max level talent player episode 402
The content of the quest was simple. All I had to do was stay still next to Isabel.
‘The content itself is simple.’
But it’s not simple. Heavier than any other quest.
Kim Hyuk-jin’s heart sank heavily after learning about Geomlim and Isabel’s background.
“Don’t blame me. “Children who carry on the will of the Geomje.”
Isabel swung her sword. The Geomlim skirmishers were no match for Isabel.
With a few slashes of the sword, the Geomnim scouts turned into shadows and disappeared. It was as if beginner monsters like rabbits were being cut out of the beginner preserve.
Isabelle took the first step. Kim Hyuk-jin and Pedro followed quietly. Isabelle, who was ahead, looked particularly lonely and tired.
A day has passed.
He also cut down many scouts.
Another day has passed. No more skirmishers appeared. I met a group of people holding swords. They were people with will and ego.
Hyukjin Kim looked at them.
‘human?’
It was like a human. The only difference was the sense of momentum; I could feel it with my eyes, but I couldn’t grasp it with my senses. It felt like a visible ghost. She was unfamiliar. Although they looked just like humans, they all felt like a ‘sword’.
Isabel said.
“Throw away your sword. “I don’t want to kill you.”
“You’re noisy, traitor.”
As time passed, Isabelle suddenly became a traitor to Geomlim. Isabel cut down many Geomrim people.
Isabel sighed.
“I say it again. “I don’t want to kill you.”
But they did not listen to Isabel. Isabel was already a traitor to Geomlim and a henchman of the Magic Tower. They seemed almost brainwashed.
Isabel didn’t actually kill them. He cut off one of his arms or legs instead. He was rendered incapable of fighting.
Even when they were unable to fight, they expressed their hostility towards Isabel.
“Better kill me, you cowardly traitor!”
“… … .”
Isabel moved on, leaving the fallen alone.
That night.
Kim Hyuk-jin lit a bonfire. The night in Geomlim was quite cold. A red burning flame illuminated Isabel’s face.
“Isabel.”
“… … .”
Isabelle just stared blankly at the campfire. He seemed to be thinking deeply about something. Pedro was uncomfortable with the heavy air, so he cleared his throat and touched the wood in the campfire for no reason, and Hyukjin Kim sat next to Isabelle.
“Isabel. “How many people did you cut today?”
“I don’t know. “About 40 people.”
Isabel’s cheap iron sword cut down about 40 Geomrim people. Among them, three people died from excessive bleeding.
“Please don’t comfort me by saying it’s not my fault. It’s my fault. Even though I knew the truth, I turned away and refused to face the truth. “The cost is this current situation.”
“It’s your fault.”
Kim Hyuk-jin also looked at the bonfire.
Crack! Crack!
The bonfire burned down.
“It’s because you’re too soft.”
A day has passed.
Isabel also cut down nearly 30 Geomlim people. The number of people who died from excessive bleeding increased from three to six. This was proof that Isabel was also physically burdened.
Either I couldn’t control my strength properly or the situation was so urgent that I had to attack the vital point.
Kim Hyuk-jin lit a bonfire again.
Crack! Crack!
The bonfire burned down.
Isabelle’s eyes were unfocused. It was like she was a living doll. She has lost a lot of her vitality.
“Isabel.”
“… … .”
“The fact that it pains you to have to cut down the people you once loved and the people you once tried to protect. “I know.”
No words can comfort Isabelle now. Kim Hyuk-jin also knows that fact well.
I decided that now is the time for cool-headed, realistic advice rather than warm words of comfort.
“But why does the Geomje send the Geomrim people instead of showing up in person? “You know why.”
“… … .”
Isabelle stared blankly at the bonfire and then looked at Hyukjin Kim.
“Listen carefully. You see, your brother didn’t love you as much as you thought. Instead, I hated and feared you.”
“… … .”
“Your brother knows you are weak. I know that she loved Geomlim more than anyone else, and that she had a great desire to protect Geomlim. That’s why we’re sending the Geomlim people now. “In the name of punishing traitors.”
If Isabel was in a normal state, she would have figured it out a long time ago, but it was difficult to say that Isabel was in a normal state right now.
As for the people in her hometown, Isabel is personally cutting down the people who loved her or the descendants of those people.
And the pressure of having to kill the family I once really loved prevented me from properly grasping other facts.
Hyukjin Kim continued.
“Pure-blooded sword emperor. A genius among geniuses, skilled in both magic and swords. “Because that genius’s only weakness is Geomlim.”
To break Isabelle’s mentality. That’s why they’re sending Geomlim people. By killing or injuring many Geolim people, Isabel hopes to collapse herself.
“Is your brother, who is persistently digging into their weaknesses and sacrificing innocent Geolim people, truly worthy of the position of Geomje?”
He explained the situation more objectively. I decided that this was 100 times better than warm comfort.
“Your brother promised to save you, not for your sake. “It’s not the last bit of love that remains as a blood relative.”

It’s nothing like that. Kim Hyuk-jin’s perspective was completely different.
“I just didn’t want to be the one who killed my sister with whom I shared memories. She’s not for you. Geomje says she is his own disgusting pretense. And I think you know this exactly, Isabel. “I need to see it right now.”
The person who should have a mental breakdown should be Isen, not Isabel. Why should someone who loved Geomlim be destroyed by Geomlim?
“What your brother wants is your self-destruction. Or the annihilation of humanity. After weakening you sufficiently, it will come to kill you.”
Isabel nodded. After listening, I realized that everything Hyukjin Kim said was correct. Isabelle’s eyes became slightly more focused.
“Do you have no choice but to get hurt by cutting down Geomrimin? Or should the Geomje, who is driving the Geomrim people to their deaths, die? “I don’t know exactly about Geomje, but isn’t Geomje the hero who protects Geomrim?”
“that’s right.”
Kim Hyuk-jin said with a cold expression.
“Eat your heart out. I can’t do anything with my current state of mind. Are you planning to destroy yourself before the Geomje appears? Are you going to show me this pathetic side?”
Hyukjin Kim placed his hand on the back of Isabelle’s hand.
“I’m next to you.”
“… … .”
“I’ll be by your side so you don’t break down.”
Isabel said. Please stay by my side so I don’t fall apart. Please don’t do anything and just stay by my side.
“So don’t break down.”
Kim Hyuk-jin felt it for two days. Isabelle’s pain felt like her own. It really pained her to see Isabelle suffering. She may have suffered more than Isabelle herself.
He said it with sincerity.
“If you fall, I fall too.”
Isabelle’s eyes came to life.
Crack! Crack!
The bonfire continued to burn.
“And the Geomje cannot continue to kill the Geomrim people.”
Kim Hyuk-jin does not know the details about Geomlim. However, we were able to draw a rough picture of the situation based on the clues we had so far. How will Geomje move in the future?
Now that Isabel’s spirit is not perfect, Hyukjin Kim himself has decided to fill in Isabel’s shortcomings.
“It’s a blemish on the Sword Emperor’s prestige. Geomje is clearly the most powerful hero in Geomlim, and he will have to personally take action to punish the traitor. There is clearly a limit to sacrificing Geomlim people. “Am I right?”
Isabel nodded.
“Then the Geomje will come directly in the not-too-distant future. And you’ll be surprised to see that you look better than you think.”
“… … .”
The current Isabel is stronger than the Isabel Isen thinks she is.
Perhaps thanks to Hyukjin Kim’s words, Isabelle has regained a little more peace. She may be less broken than Isen thinks.
“Still, the reason he showed up is probably because he’s confident he can kill you.”
Isen was afraid of Isabel from a young age. She won’t show up if she isn’t confident. If Isen appears, he is confident that he can overpower Isabel.
“The reason is not because Isen is strong.”
“Maybe I’m weak.”
“that’s right. Because much of your power has been sealed in the form of a sword.”
Although the seal has weakened over time, many of Isabelle’s abilities are still sealed.
Hyukjin Kim asked.
“Isabel. “Can you defeat Geomje?”
“You haven’t beaten me once since you were twenty.”
“Even if the power is sealed like now?”
“I can’t guarantee it in its current state. I was at a standstill and my brother must have become stronger. “A lot of my power is sealed.”
The reason I came to Geomlim is to make Isabelle perfect.
Originally, the goal was to complete the transcendent-level artifact Isabel, but it turned out that the goal was to liberate the transcendent-level artifact Isabel into a perfect person.
“You said you needed a dwarf from Geomlim to become perfect.”
“huh.”
“Then it would be impossible to be perfect now. Even the dwarves of Geomlim won’t be on your side right now.”
Hyukjin Kim closed his eyes for a moment.
Pedro felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
‘I’m talking about concerns… … Strangely… … .’
Kim Hyuk-jin’s attitude was strange. She felt a little like she was acting.
‘Is it an illusion?’
Pedro doesn’t know much about the current situation. I don’t know much about the story related to ‘Geomje’. So he just followed along.
‘It seems like a trap for something?’
Kim Hyuk-jin’s conversation seemed to have a separate audience.
Rustle.
The trees of Geomlim moved. A world made of iron. A few leaves made of iron fell to the ground.
“This is the child who betrayed Geomrim.”
A voice was heard. A man dressed in white walked over.
The trees in the forest were pushed aside on their own. The trees seemed to take notice. As the man moved, a path appeared.
Hyukjin Kim knows that voice. I know his face too. Geomje. And this is Isabel’s half-brother, Isen.
“Is that person the contractor you chose? “He’s a weak but smart guy.”
“… … long time no see. Brother.”
Isen nodded.
“okay. “It’s been a while.”
No current of air could be felt between Isen and Isabel. However, Hyukjin Kim and Pedro felt it at the same time.
A storm is brewing in this space right now. A typhoon that cannot be detected with the eyes or senses. If you get caught in that typhoon, not even your bones will be left, and everything will be completely destroyed.
“After betraying Geomrim, what kind of face did you come back with? “I can’t thank you enough for not sending a chase team.”
“I have never betrayed Geomlim, brother. “You probably know that fact best.”
“The numerous magical techniques and magic engraved on your body prove him. “How far is he willing to go?”
Isabelle’s face darkened.
She cursed her own talent and worried. I confided my concerns to Isen.
And Isen is using that as a weakness to attack Isabel. The older brother who warmly listened to my concerns was no longer in this world.
“The energy of the Magic Tower forcibly injected magic into me. I didn’t want to learn magic, but I learned it on my own. “It’s not my fault, is it?”
“Stop talking nonsense. Where in this world is there magic that can be learned like that? “The smell of magic imprinted on your body is disgusting.”
Many Geomrim people appeared between the split trees. They all spewed unfiltered hostility towards Isabel.
The ‘magic’ that Isabel possessed proved Isabel’s betrayal. It was like that for Geomlim people.
“What I was worried about was just a disgusting smell to you.”
Isabelle’s eyes sank deeply. Isen drew his sword.
“You’re finally showing your true colors. Come. This is the child I once loved. “I will kill you and establish the laws of Geomlim.”
And at that time, Kim Hyuk-jin took a step forward.
Geomje Lee Seon may not have known it, but this situation where Lee Seon showed up and spoke harshly towards Isabel was something Kim Hyukjin had anticipated and half planned.
Kim Hyeok-jin, a ‘weak but smart guy’ as Geomje puts it, looked much further ahead than Lee Seon thought.
I took a breath. She took another step forward. She stood in front of Isabel. Fortunately, Isen was in a state of momentum for the decisive battle with Isabel, and there was no damage due to the momentum.
Another step forward.
‘We have to deal with the Sword Emperor.’
Geomje is absolute. You can’t deal with someone without a gambler. Kim Hyuk-jin gambled every time, and the gamble was always successful.
I decided to try to succeed this time too.
‘I will definitely succeed.’
