Episode 315 < I am a fan. (2) >
3.
A strange thing continued. Surprisingly, the boy who introduced himself as my fan was not a hunter but a constellation.
“uh. Could the Constellation get lost or starve?”
“Of course, Death King.”
The boy laughed bitterly.
“If you look at the constellations, they are all different!”
The two of us happened to be on a similar route, so we decided to tag along for a while. As we walked along the quiet forest path, we chatted with rabbits and deer peeking out from the grass as spectators.
“I really don’t have any believers… . There was one 600 years ago, but since then not a single person has given their faith. Well, in conclusion, I live like a complete poor person.”
“Eh. then… … .”
I looked at the boy with new eyes. From head to toe. No matter where you looked at the boy wearing rags, he looked like a kid from a poor neighborhood.
“At least 600 years old… ?”
“Maybe it’s 10 times that. Constellations have a very different sense of time than hunters! In general, there are quite a few cases where people count their ages until they are 1,000 years old, but after that, they just give up on everything. It’s meaningless. It’s not rewarding. “It’s not even fun!”
It’s scary.
“If it’s a constellation, it must have a second name. “What is your name?”
“Wow. Of course, there are tinnitus and true names. I’m a bit embarrassed to say my name to Death King, whom I truly respect… . Still, if I muster up the courage to say it! yes! My name is… … .”
[■■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■■.]
“Hey.”
I nodded.
For some reason, I felt like it was a good name.
It was a name that really suited the boy smiling brightly in front of me, and seemed like it had been created just for him.
“That’s nice. Why should I be embarrassed? It’s just a cool name.”
“Is that so? Ahaha. If Death King says so, then it must be so. hmm! I’m embarrassed… … .”
The boy laughed softly. The sight of him scratching his cheek with his index finger looked very innocent. I looked around with a warm smile.
“Anyway, what was there in this direction?”
“Is there somewhere you want to go?”
“First, I’m going to stop by a city or village to get some supplies. I wish it was a big town if possible… .”
I want to buy at least a set of clothes for a boy whose constellation is not like this constellation. As I was thinking about that, the boy suddenly raised his hand.
“ah!”
[■■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■■.]
“That place is just off the road!”
The boy turned his head in the direction pointed. When I strengthened my eyesight with aura and peered into the distance, I saw a city there, just as the boy said.
“what. “It’s true.”
We moved on. When I arrived, it was a settlement that was neither too big nor too small, just the place I wanted to be.
I went into a clothing store on the street. Jinglang. The wind chime hanging on the door shook. The middle-aged store owner who was reading a book inside the store raised his head.
“Welcome.”
“hello. “I want to look at some clothes.”
I pointed beyond the window.
In the middle of the street, a small boy was standing blankly looking in this direction.
“I want to buy matching clothes for that child. Wear clothes that are comfortable to move around in. “Is there any good clothes?”
“kid?”
The owner looked out the window in confusion.
“Where is the child?”
“hey. “There is a boy who is dressed mostly in rags.”
“hmm? I’m sorry. I can’t see anyone. “I don’t know what you’re talking about…”
[■■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■■.]
“……Ah. That kid.”
The old man pushed up his glasses. Has your eyesight decreased and you have presbyopia? The old man smiled awkwardly, perhaps feeling slightly embarrassed about making a mistake due to his age.
“I’m sorry. Yes, I am not a delicate child. Did she say it was good for movement? “Just wait a little while and I will bring it to you right away.”
“ah. Please, old man.”
“It’s all business, so what?”
I paid the price and handed the clothes to the boy.
Flash.
The boy looked up at me absentmindedly.
“Hey, Death King. This… … ?”
“It’s a gift.”
A wide white robe.
It may look like it gets dirty easily because it is white, but it is still a magic item. There was a spell that prevented stains from staining the area. Cold protection magic and warming magic are bonuses. If necessary, it could be used instead of a sleeping bag when sleeping outdoors, and there were plenty of pockets inside the clothes, so there was plenty of storage space.
“For some reason, I feel like these clothes will come in handy. More than cool clothes for no reason. Would you like to try it on?”
“…….”
Hesitantly, the boy put on his clothes.
“oh. “It’s okay.”
The white robe went well with the boy’s innocent-looking appearance. I looked back and forth at the boy, feeling some sort of pride.
“Oh, but is it a little big?”
It was all good, but the robe was too loose for the boy’s body type. He seemed to be almost 1.5 times the size.
“That’s strange. I thought it would definitely fit… ?”
“… … huh. no.”

“If it’s this size, I think it’s okay.”
The girl put her hand out over her sleeve. Just now, her hand was buried in the sleeve of her dress, but when I looked again, I saw that she was only slightly above the wrist line. There was no feeling that her body shape was too out of place.
“Thank goodness. “I guess it was my mistake.”
I smiled brightly at the girl.
“Well, even though it was only for a short time, it was fun to accompany you.”
“…….”
“Next time, be careful not to get lost in the forest. There’s no guarantee that there will always be someone like me in the forest. “I’ll just go now.”
The moment I was about to say goodbye and turn my back.
“Death, Death King! wait a minute!”
The girl grabbed my sleeve.
“yes?”
“that is… … .”
The girl hesitated. Her lips were open, but her tongue wandered aimlessly around her mouth. Once, the girl looked up at me and gritted her teeth.
At a glance, I could see countless thoughts crossing each other in the girl’s eyes.
“therefore… … .”
[■■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■■.]
So what is going on?
When I was about to question the look that seemed to be asking for my help, someone’s murmur suddenly intervened.
“—-You were here.”
It wasn’t the girl’s voice or mine.
“I’ve been wandering around for a while looking for you.”
“…!”
I quickly turned my head in the direction the voice came from. While holding the hilt of the holy sword. The place where the voice was heard was exactly twelve steps away from me, and I did not notice the presence at all [until the other person was within twelve steps].
What it meant was clear.
The opponent is a tremendous expert.
– It’s a zombie.
‘yes.’
Bae Hu-ryeong also warned me in a low voice. I nodded, fully aware of what he was trying to warn me about.
‘… … Among the hunters I met on the 60th floor, he is the strongest and overwhelmingly strong. That guy.’
It was a man wearing a dark-colored robe.
“I wondered where he had run away, but at best he was hiding in the village. “I don’t know if you were planning to hide the tree in the forest, but you weren’t the only one who had that idea.”
The man was wearing a hat. The hats were all torn off and had holes in them. Not only did it not stop the rain from snowing on him, but even the man’s face was clearly visible through the hat.
The man’s eyes glanced in my direction through the hole in the hat.
“You’re hanging out with a strange guy.”
“…….”
“Follow me. “You don’t want to see blood flowing down that street.”
Kuuk.
The sleeves were pulled a little stronger.
The girl was hanging on me with a completely terrified face.
“……hmm.”
He slowly took a step forward and shielded the girl from the man’s gaze. The man in the hat frowned.
“What?”
“I don’t know who you are. I don’t even know why they want to take this child with them. However, from the first moment you look at a person and ask not [who they are] but [what they are], you can already see your personality.”
“You’re telling an interesting story.”
The man in the hat sneered.
“He knows how to look at people’s character, but he’s also a guy who doesn’t know how to look at their skills. Usually people like that die first. “I managed to get up to the 60th floor.”
“Maybe it means I’m not a normal human?”
“If you don’t die even if your head falls off, I’ll accept it.”
Chaaaang!
Afterwards, what happened in a split second was as follows.
First, the man pulled out his sword and swung it. The black aura fluttered around and instantly separated the two of us. However, when the twelve steps were reduced to six, my sword strike blocked the man’s strike.
“…….”
The man raised his eyes in surprise.
And, shhh! Stars came from three directions: southeast, behind me, and west. The man was not alone. He had taken the group and kept them in hiding. But I had already noticed the three enemies, and Chaeng! I intercepted the three throwing stars before they could reach within 20 steps.
“her.”
The man’s eyes got a little bigger.
A passerby, who was just walking down the street, suddenly took out a dagger from his pocket and ran towards me. He was also a member of the man’s group. I strengthened my right hand with Aura and held the dagger tightly. I broke his hand, “Huh?!” It broke his arm by the shoulder and sent it flying backwards.
That was the full story of what happened in a split second.
“… … “It’s pretty good.”
“Hey!”
Only then, as if time had stopped for a moment and started to flow again, did a scream sound from the street. People noticed the fight late and quickly escaped.
Just me and the girl.
Only the man in the hat and his companions remained on the main street.
“Do you think you have the skills to say something arrogant?”
“what. “I have the skills to scold arrogant people.”
“I guess they knew who we were and rebelled against us, right?”
“well. Umm. “I’m not sure.”
I stroked my chin.
“Probably, they are trash carts trying to drag a constellation that has no power… ?”
“…….”
The expression on the man’s hat became more and more eye-catching. However, it was still not much fun to watch. A man’s life is his face. Let’s make it a little more fun.
“ah. I also understand that this is an organization that doesn’t have enough money to keep using a hat because it doesn’t have money to buy one. Would you like me to sponsor you? Even if things are like this, the money is rotting and overflowing. Even beggars like you can save up to four people. Five people are in trouble. “Please draw lots among yourselves and select only one person.”
“good night. decided.”
The man in the hat adjusted his long sword.
“I’ll cut off your tongue and throw it to you as dog food.”
A blade filled with ghosts.
I could tell at a glance that he was not someone who had trained his Aura using ordinary methods.
“Death, Death King… … .”
I heard a girl’s anxious voice from behind me. Is it okay to seek help like this? Or is she just being a nuisance? I lightly closed one eye to the girl who was shaking between two emotions.
“are you okay.”
“…….”
The girl lowered her head.
Meanwhile, the man in the hat took a stance.
“My position is the leader of the Blood Demon God Religion. “It’s a blood demon.”
“……huh?”
I blinked.
“Blood Demon?”
“Yes.”
“Blood Demon Cult? So, a demonic religion? “A demonic religion with blood on the front?”
“Indeed, so it is.”
The man in the hat smiled wryly.
Perhaps he was satisfied with my reaction.
“It’s no use regretting it now. Of course, I’ll forgive you if you cut out your own tongue and apologize. Live your whole life without a tongue and repent for your arrogance. This throne is generous to those who know how to criticize themselves… … .”
“what. “It’s a completely pseudo-religious group, right?”
“…….”
Stand tall.
The man in the hat stopped talking.
I was dumbfounded.
“Why is the leader of such a pseudo-heresy walking around disparaging his own identity? Blood demon? Protestantism? “Magyo-myeon Magyo High School, Cheonma-myeon Cheonmaji, where did the blood demon come from?”
“what… … .”
“hey. Who among you has permission to add the word ‘devil’ to the name of an organization? Now I see that I am not a beggar. I said something wrong. Hey, even openness is more fundamental than yours. know? “Even if the government makes a fuss, saying, “You guys are bastards with no genealogy,” the government takes the side of the government.”
“…….”
“And the blood demon is a human demon. One of the Sima soldiers I carry around is Blood Demon. It is a name used only below the head of the church, let alone the head of the church. Write. Where are you being so arrogant? Do you want to get scolded? Do you want to hit me?”
“You bastard……”
“Anyway, the more people come from the martial arts world, the more they don’t know etiquette. Please play according to your level, according to your level. Ego. From now on, let’s get started with the estimates. Listen carefully. First, take the devil out of the sign. Leave out God too. “I’ll just admit it as a blood relationship.”
“kill.”
The man’s face was distorted like a demon.
“I will definitely kill you!”
no.
Why is the cult leader so angry?
The guy who farted is angry.
etc,
