Episode 124
It was an amazing thing.
I can’t check them all, but there are at least 200 sword marks on my body.
This is a body that should have died long ago.
‘There’s no way there’s any blood left.’
Blood is pouring out once again from the wound just received.
sick.
It really hurt like crazy.
In the dark darkness. I gave up the idea of cutting down an unknown, invisible enemy early on.
visor!
Luckily, I was able to temporarily feel relieved when I struck the guy’s sword with Elysion.
It’s as if new wounds have been postponed for just a few seconds.
Perhaps my body has already become a tattered rag.
In some ways, it may be fortunate that we cannot see it with our own eyes.
Raden said nothing as I was dying.
Damn, I thought you were going to try to negotiate right away.
Sigh!
This time, I got a long cut on my chest again.
There is no tolerance to severe pain.
I really feel like I’m going to die now.
‘Should I bow to Raden and go in now?’
I had that thought, but then I shook my head.
Not a good choice.
The moment I show myself regretful, there will be more I have to give.
Even the object of negotiation is not a human, but a demon lord.
It hurts like hell, but I have to endure it a little longer.
There will be at least one response before I die.
“You damn bastard!”
My thoughts were not wrong.
Raden’s voice was heard for the first time since the judgment began.
Her appearance is also clearly visible in the dark.
A moment of relief comes over me.
I pay tribute to my mental strength that has allowed me to persevere until now.
“I’ve never seen a bastard like you before. “If you’ve suffered this much, isn’t it normal to beg for your life?”
“The crime of destroying your temple. “I was planning on getting it sweetly.”
“You crazy bastard.”
“I hear things like that often.”
It’s not really like that, but in this situation, it would be advantageous to pretend to be crazy.
“Now that you look like this, I’m sure you’re going crazy for wanting more, right?”
Those mesmerizing eyes and a voice steeped in madness.
Goosebumps appeared all over my body.
“Are you still not willing to listen to my proposal?”
Actually, I wanted to hear it so bad.
It was just a shame that we couldn’t look into Raden’s mind in advance.
“It’s an offer you’re going to reject anyway, so what’s the point of listening to it?”
“Why do you think like that without even hearing it?”
“I thought you wanted my soul.”
“Then what else could the Demon King want from a human?”
“So that means it can’t be done.”
“Such an impregnable guy.”
“I don’t know about anything else, but the soul doesn’t work.”
“hey! “Will that soul wear away just because I have it?”
It won’t wear out, but it will become seriously polluted.
Calia’s warlocks were usually like that.
The price for selling one’s soul is too harsh. You have to live your whole life as a slave to the devil, and it is impossible to turn back.
So I worry until the last moment.
Do I really have to negotiate with the devil?
‘It’s clear that the strategy book allowed the situation to turn out like this.’
That was clear.
The strategy book wanted this situation.
Although he didn’t directly encourage me, he didn’t give me any message to change my route.
“hey! “I’m going to make a suggestion that will take a step back from the real Demon King. Would you like to hear this?”
The moment when Jonber comes to fruition.
If it bounces here again, it might really end up in a goal.
“great. “I’ve heard of it, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll accept the offer.”
“Wow, you really sound like I want to hit you.”
To be honest, I felt uncomfortable even saying it.
But this stance is necessary even until the last moment.

Of course, I didn’t forget to bow my head to Raden and express my apology.
“How about dividing your soul and handing it over to me?”
“Split?”
“okay. “For now, just give me as much as a speck of dust today, and you can come find me later when you need me again.”
“How do you mean?”
“When the moment comes that you need me, kill a life. And they search for me through that soul. “I ask for strength because trials have come.”
“Of course, the price of that power is the soul?”
“of course. You don’t have to go through everything at once. “You just need to give it as much power as you want.”
“What if I don’t want your power after today?”
“Will that really happen? “Once you get a taste for it, it won’t be easy to break away from it.”
Raden showed a sensual smile as he licked his lips with his tongue.
Actually, it was an attractive offer.
Because according to my will, I don’t have to hand over my soul after today.
“I will accept that offer.”
“He acted like an iron wall and suddenly?”
“If there is no lie in what you just said, then there is no reason not to accept the offer.”
Raden looks satisfied with my answer.
“I like it even more because it costs that much. “Someday, you will be my perfect possession.”
Raden walked towards me.
The sound of footsteps fills me with intense tension.
And she put her hand on my shoulder.
I felt like I was suffocating and couldn’t do anything.
I just watched her actions.
“There is no turning back now. “Because I will take a part of your soul and place restrictions on you.”
The procedure was very simple.
In fact, I couldn’t feel anything, so much so that I didn’t even know what was happening.
Even until she took her hand off my shoulder.
“This is it. “As promised, I have taken your soul, albeit only in a very small way.”
It didn’t even feel creepy.
It’s already spilled water, and the dice have been thrown.
There will be no regrets.
“And I gifted you some magic power. “Can you feel it?”
“I’m not sure.”
“I guess so. Because the soul you gave me is not worth the tail of a rat. From now on, whenever you need anything, come find me. “I will reward your soul very generously.”
“Well, considering the situation. But I had one more promise. The judgment you gave me. Now you are exempt.”
“of course. And I’ll give you one more gift.”
I knew right away what gift Raden was talking about.
The surrounding background changed to Kalia and various scenes passed by like flashes of light.
It shows the future of Kalia that I have changed.
Like a panorama of about 200 years.
“how is it? Are you satisfied?”
I grinned at that question.
I thought I could do it.
Lena, Ella, and even Geomjong.
This is exactly the future I envisioned for Kalia.
* * *
Calia’s long journey has come to an end.
A secondary mission that was connected to as many as 4 floors. As soon as I returned to the tower lobby, I felt mildly dizzy.
This is because, having adapted to the body of the secondary character for a long time, a synchronization process was needed with the body of the main character that was found again.
“Kang! “Kang!”
In the waiting room, only Kangsoo greeted me.
“Have you been bored for too long, Kansu?”
“Keng??”
“what? “It wasn’t that boring?”
“Kang!”
That can’t be possible.
This alt-character mission took several months, and the thing I was most worried about while I was in Calia was Kansu.
If I had spent this much time alone due to my kangaroo personality, I would have suffered from depression.
“Kang! “Kang!”
The guy was joking and punching me.
At first glance, it looks far from depression.
Then there was only one conclusion.
The same time rules do not apply to Kalia and this lobby.
If so, the rest of my colleagues will arrive soon.
Pugh-
While I was deep in thought, Kansu’s fist hit my face.
It wakes me up.
Kansu looked at me with a surprised expression.
“Kang!”
With a gesture asking why I couldn’t avoid this.
Actually, I was surprised too.
Coming back to my original character after a long time, I couldn’t get used to it right away.
The kangaroo immediately bowed its head and snuggled into my arms.
He was trying to be cute and asked me to look at him, but he was being generous.
Because it is also our reunion after several months.
“okay! “I’ll take a look, so please leave this aside for a moment.”
“Kang!”
There was something to check right away.
Inventory that Lena made for me.
There was a dimensional wall between the main character and the secondary character, and the key was whether Lena could break through it.
[2/2]
First of all, it’s amazing.
That message window still exists.
Now all you have to do is check that the item remains safe.
I reached into my inventory and pulled out the first item.
“Kang?”
Kansu let out an exclamation as he looked at Elysion in my hand.
This guy also recognized the famous sword.
I really didn’t expect this to be possible,
… … thank you. Lena.
And one more thing.
A crystal that will guide you to where the blood demon is.
[Cannot be used in the lobby.]
[This item disappears after the 16th floor ends.]
Although there is a message that it is scheduled to disappear soon, the crystal was also safe.
Lena’s genius talent gives me goosebumps.
If I had known this would happen, I would have asked you to make an item to help me escape this damn tower.
Srurr.
The moment I had that thought, my colleagues started returning to the lobby.
Although there was a slight time difference, there was not much of a difference in the return of the last person.
My colleagues all went through the same process as me.
Slight dizziness.
And the realization of the time difference that exists between Kalia and the tower lobby.
“Everyone did a great job.”
As expected, one seat was empty.
“I don’t have Son Seo-yeon?”
“Could it be that he didn’t pass the 15th floor?”
“It can’t be! “The 15th floor is a floor where food is eaten raw!”
A layer that is eaten raw?
Everyone had similar reactions, so I was moved to tears without realizing it.
Damn Laden.
“Son Seo-yeon will still be alive.”
“Hoyoung Lee, do you know anything?”
“That’s not true, but he’s not the kind of guy who will die easily, right?”
Everyone agreed with that.
Son Seo-yeon will be carrying out TOP’s mission somewhere else from us for the time being.
I don’t know where she went or why she went, but she definitely said this.
You won’t see me until the bloody day.
“But Hoyoung Lee, is that… … .”
“Yes, that’s right, Elysion.”
I lifted Elysion up and smiled at my colleagues.
“Are the alt items being transferred?”
My colleagues immediately started checking their inventory before hearing my answer.
I feel a little embarrassed.
Soon you will hear sighs of disappointment.
“iced coffee!!”
“I’m all gone!”
“me too!”
Everyone looked at me.
With an expression that asks why it’s only you.
“Ah, so Lena gave me an inventory. “They said it was an experiment being studied.”
“Is Lena Lee Ho-young the only one?”
“Yes, I heard you only made one. “I’m also sad that I can’t go back to everyone.”
“Wow Mr. Hoyoung hyung. “I was born with some real luck!”
“Seyong, if you knew the hardships I went through on the 15th floor, you wouldn’t be able to say such things.”
I just hope that the pain of that time will not remain as a trauma.
Suddenly, thinking about the 15th floor, goosebumps appear all over my body again.
“Hey Hoyoung Lee, then what are you going to do with the Indomitable Sword you used before?”
Jeonghyeok Choi asked me.
The guy who is a professional gamer is almost an all-master of all items.
He covets my Indomitable Sword, which he no longer needs.
“Jeonghyuk, but to me, Lee Hoyoung… … “What?”
It was so long ago that this guy must have already forgotten his promise.
