Episode 303
“What is this!”
Finn was confused.
Attribute power is the symbol of a 2-star player.
It is at a higher level of compatibility than most skills, and its performance and power are stronger than any other skill.
However, the man in front of him was melting his Frozen Crash, his signature technique and his pride, with a sudden surge of heat.
That was when.
Flash!
A light flashed.
Did the camera flash go off?
No it wasn’t.
It was the trajectory of a sword, not a camera flash or anything like that.
To be exact, the blood sword passed through.
And by the time Finn realized what it was, he felt a strong heat from the arm that had been holding the shield.
“Kkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The intense sensation of heat was caused by the amputation of the arm.
“Team Leader!!”
“Team Leader!!”
The team members who saw the pin’s condition screamed.
However, Suho dismissed the system notification in front of him with an indifferent expression.
[Heart attack is activated.]
[ Reinforcement is applied . ]
[ The power of the heart attack becomes even stronger . ]
The notification that was cleared was for the enhanced heart attack.
thud!
The severed arm was holding a shield.
So it fell along with the shield.
Of course, the shield was not cut.
Only the arm was cut off.
It was thanks to the unique effect of the heart cut that cuts the inside without cutting the outside.
“Eww!!”
An excited Albert raises his sword and rushes toward Suho.
Suho quickly swung his sword from bottom to top again with an indifferent expression.
[ Cloud Slash is activated . ]
A flash of light.
At the same time, Albert’s movements also stopped.
Crunch!
A clean cutting sound.
At the same time, Albert’s arm also snapped off like a pin.
“Kkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Alberteeeeee!!”
As the arm holding the sword is cut off, Albert sits down, holding the wounded arm.
Then another team member looked at Albert and screamed at the top of his lungs.
But Suho pointed his sword at the last remaining wizard player as if it was no big deal and asked Finn.
“It seems like the healer won’t be able to participate in the battle because he’s busy setting up the barrier. How is this enough proof? Or should he also do the same thing to be recognized?”
“… … .”
Pin, who was holding the money, glared at Suho.
At those eyes, Suho lifted Finn’s arm and approached him.
Then he placed his arm on the severed area and used his skills.
[ Heal is activated . ]
[ Recovery is activated . ]
Flashy skill effects.
At the same time, Finn’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Because in a flash of light, his severed arm reattached as if by magic.
“Uh, how… … ?”
Instead of answering, Suho approached Albert.
And he put his arm back on just like he did to Finn.
Albert, who had been screaming just a moment ago, could only watch the process blankly.
Because I witnessed Finn’s arm being attached just before with my own eyes.
Suho, who had even attached Albert’s arm, even cancelled the ghost spear.
And only after healing the bowman’s piercing wound did he ask Finn again.
“What’s the answer?”
“… … I lost. And I lost perfectly.”
“You even used your attribute power, so you wouldn’t say I gave you an easy time because it was just a sparring match, would you?”
“No way.”
After he finished answering, he looked at his shield and once again had an expression of disbelief.
Although his own arm was clearly cut off along with his armor, the shield at the very front was completely intact, as if it were a lie.
“……three.”

Sein, who had been using his skills with a nervous expression at Finn’s words, releases Valkyrie’s battlefield.
Then, the unique interior of the abandoned factory was revealed again, and only then could the UN players let out their stale breath.
Suho nodded lightly and said.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“Ha… … Yes, Suho, you worked hard too.”
“Then shall we talk again now?”
“… … Right. But I think I might need some alcohol.”
“Yes, it looks like that. Then let’s go back there. I’ll drive.”
“Oh, no. Sein, please drive.”
“Yes, I understand.”
So everyone was able to go back to where they were just a little while ago.
*
“Khaa… … !”
Finn, sitting at a regular table rather than a bar table, emptied an entire bottle of beer and set it down on the table.
It was the same with Albert and Max the Archer.
Suho saw that and said with a smile.
“Are you feeling calmer now?”
“Yes, I feel a little calmer now that I have some alcohol.”
“That’s good. If you still haven’t calmed down, I was going to take separate measures.”
“Action? Is there any special method?”
“Mental healing is also one of my specialties.”
“her…….”
Finn sticks out his tongue.
It was a fact that I had heard in advance that the man in front of me was a healer class, but after experiencing his swordsmanship, I was newly impressed by how great his healing abilities were.
Suho said.
“So, shall we get back to the main topic? Or do you still need to test something?”
“Haha, no. This is enough testing. You were able to incapacitate me and my teammates by yourself. What better proof could there be? I know it’s a bit much to say, but I’m one of the top rankers in America.”
Is that so?
I don’t remember very well.
But if you look at the current level, it seems like that would be the case.
Suho nodded.
“Are there any other people who entered the country secretly besides the people here?”
“None. We are everything.”
“Then it will be easier to talk.”
“Yes. I am the head of the UN delegation this time. So, there is one thing I would like to ask you.”
“Feel free to ask.”
“Thank you. Mr. Suho, what are your goals as a player?”
A careful question.
okay.
Even if we talk casually, we can’t ask questions too bluntly.
Suho answered immediately.
“As you can see from my domestic interviews, the ultimate goal is to end all gates in the world.”
The end of the gate.
Finn’s expression brightens at those words.
“We, the United Nations, also think the same way. We are a place that seeks peace for humanity more than any other organization, so we have made many changes in response to the cataclysm, such as reorganizing the peacekeeping force.”
“I know a little about the peace forces. And what activities the UN does. Would I like to be part of the UN?”
Suho’s immediate question.
Finn’s eyes widened slightly at the unexpected and blatant question.
But Suho didn’t really want to beat around the bush with this conversation.
Because the words we want to exchange are already clearly decided.
At Soo-ho’s question, he bent his upper body and pulled himself towards the table.
Then he spoke carefully, making a typical American gesture.
“To get to the point, yes. I hope that Korea will take this opportunity to become a new non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.”
“Please be specific. Do you want Korea to become a non-permanent member, or do you want it to become a non-permanent member for the sake of manpower management?”
“Is it that important? So much so that I have to choose one over the other?”
“Yes, it is important to me. After all, the final decision on the direction of the non-permanent member states is up to me.”
A confident answer.
But it cannot be denied.
Because the man in front of you is someone who is worthy and powerful enough to do so.
Finn nodded cautiously.
“Of course I want you, An Su-ho.”
“What if I refuse?”
“Are you thinking of refusing?”
“I don’t know.”
“hmm.”
Finn is perplexed by the word rejection.
To be honest, the rejection wasn’t something he expected.
That is understandable, because while there are many responsibilities that come with being a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, there are also many benefits that come with it.
Finn asked.
“Why do you think about rejection?”
“Then let me ask you the opposite. Why did you think they would accept it? Because there are many benefits to becoming a non-permanent member? Or because of the honor of being elevated to a higher national status?”
“that…….”
Honestly, that’s true.
Otherwise, why would anyone want to be a non-permanent member?
Suho said.
“I know that the UN’s intentions are good. However, from my perspective, it’s just a pretext, and in the end, it’s the players who have to jump into the field. Furthermore, if you become a member of the UN, you have to include players that the member country and the UN have agreed on in the peace force. No matter how many benefits there are in the peace force, does it give you more money and benefits than a first-class major private guild?”
“Are you money after all?”
“No, money and benefits are just one of many reasons. But I don’t need money. If I really needed money, I would have started my own guild instead of being a state hunter who takes a salary from the country.”
“Then what’s the problem?”
“I don’t like coercion. I am also a hunter who aims to end the gate like the UN, but if I am recognized as a non-permanent member because of myself, then wouldn’t I end up having to shoulder the responsibility and obligation for my country to become a small country?”
“If you think in a grand scheme of things, it’s for the good of humanity.”
“I know. But that’s why I want to move more efficiently. Why did the UN neglect North Korea while shouting so loftily for the peace of mankind?”
“that…….”
Finn was speechless.
Because I had no answer to that question.
Because surprisingly, North Korea was also one of the UN member states, and although they had no choice, it is also true that they neglected it.
Finn said in a uncertain voice.
“At that time… … the changed UN was in its infancy.”
“Is it a matter of timing? But North Korea’s full-scale collapse began after the UN was reorganized and the peacekeeping force was also changed to a peace force. I don’t know the details. But even though North Korea is a special country, can you say that there was no political calculation in neglecting the member states that joined it?”
“… … .”
Silent Finn.
It was the same for others.
Did I push you too hard?
The taste of the alcohol must have diminished.
But there’s nothing I can do.
Even if we spoke in a gentlemanly manner, the atmosphere would have been the same.
But this is not the place to criticize the UN.
And it’s even more unlikely that the man in front of you chose to do all those things.
Suho continued speaking.
“I really don’t want our country to become a non-permanent member. Especially since you came here to propose a non-permanent member just for me. Because of that, how many people will become peace soldiers and how many things will be sacrificed?”
“So, are you finally rejecting it?”
“Why do you think there are only two choices?”
“yes?”
“Is it necessary for Korea to become a non-permanent member to work with the UN?”
“What does that mean?”
“I’m telling you that there are other ways, like hiring me as a mercenary, or asking me to volunteer.”
“Mercenary? Oh, no, volunteer?”
“Yes, the ultimate task of the UN is to deal with the gates, right? I think volunteers can do that. For example, me in my individual capacity.”
Volunteer.
At those words, everyone sitting at the table looked at Suho with bewildered expressions.
