Episode 254
Laike introduced me to a casino that operates under a secret membership system.
I took the limousine provided by the Interstellar Alliance and went all the way down to the building.
‘It’s quite long, isn’t it?’
A vehicle stopped on the 10th floor underground.
A man in a suit opened the door.
“Welcome to Black Casino.”
A subtle wave of magical energy flowing from the man’s body.
It’s a hunter.
About grade B. He is also a talented person who has unlocked most of his potential.
‘I can do active duty at that level.’
When I used the [Eye of Truth], my body was plastered with magic and rare grade items.
I put it.
Maybe it’s because it’s a casino used by VIPs. We paid a lot of attention to security.
I got out of the car with Fenrir in tow.
“I will guide you from here.”
The man waved his hand.
The waiting employee opened the briefcase.
Inside the bag were several unfamiliar masks.
‘ah. It’s the same one I saw at the auction back then.’
An auction hosted by the Yongsan branch of the Interstellar Union.
Voice distortion and perception-impairing magic are built into the mask.
Just like back then, I picked up the bald lion mask.
-Please choose something pretty for me too. bruise!
“If you’re not even a person, why do you want to wear a mask?”
-bruise! Your portrait rights are being violated.
It’s Pengu. Since you are not a person in the first place, you have no right to portrait.
Where did you pick up those words?
“••••••It’s hot.”
I picked up the blue cat mask and put it on Fenrir’s face.
Fenrir wore a mask the size of his body and shook his head from side to side.
-frustrated. bruise!
“Yes. Now it’s used. No refund.”
After making fun of Fenrir, who was disgusted, he went inside with the man’s guidance.
The moment the casino doors open.
A feast of all kinds of lights unfolded.
Sculptures made by carving gems or crystals reflect the light of the lighting, creating numerous
created a silver color.
Below, people wearing masks enjoyed gambling.
Card games like poker and blackjack.
Bluff using dice.
roulette.
In addition, all kinds of gambling with unknown rules were taking place.
The man guided us to the currency exchange place.
“Only casino chips are accepted as currency here. Change as much as you want and enjoy gambling.”
The minimum unit price of the chip was $10,000.
In Korean currency, it is a little over 10 million won.
Wow.
They say it’s a VIP-only casino, but the world of fun is different.
‘1 billion is 100 chips.’
There was a lot of money.
Dividends from Lincewood Company.
A by-product obtained from killing a monster during a gate attack.
Compensation money from the Lost Land expedition and the subjugation of Kim Moon-kwon’s military, etc.
There are already tens of billions of dollars in the account.
And, more will come in the future.
‘Still, a little. It’s a strange feeling.’
My interest is in surpassing the level of fighting Deimos.
Even though I had accumulated a lot of money, I never used it properly, so I felt the value of casino chips was great.
-bruise. Come on change it. Let’s play a game.
“Stop fussing.”
The 1 billion won in cash prepared in advance was exchanged for chips.
With 100, you can gamble like roulette.
If I do that, it will all be gone in no time, right?
-When you think of a casino, you mean slot machines. bruise!
Fenrir must have been disappointed that he couldn’t try it at the airport, so he bit the bottom of his pants and led the way to the slot machine.
oh.
If that were the case, I could have enough time with 100 of them.

I pretended I couldn’t win and headed to the slot machine.
Tiriring, tiriring-!
Five-line screen.
There is a metal lever next to the board.
there is.
-bruise. master. Hurry up and put it in.
One pull of this costs 10 million won.
A guy who has never made money has no fear.
“Okay, okay.”
I left the slot machine to Fenrir and looked around.
Everyone was wearing masks, so it was difficult to tell who was who.
‘There is a way.’
Mana synchronization.
The chaos spread like a net along the wall, taking over the mana in the space.
I could clearly feel every breath of the people in the casino, even the closing and opening of their eyes.
Angel Burst Hunters also disguised their identities and went out to protect them.
With this method, you can see through it.
I closed my eyes and widened my senses to look at the people in the casino.
‘There are a total of 21 hunters standing guard.’
Among them, there were three who had heterogeneous energy.
The sense of presence is blurred and overlapped, as if there is noise.
They were angels who possessed human bodies.
bingo.
‘It’s just as he said.’
Mariel said she was gathering Boo’s emotions in Elysium.
Possessed angels have also infiltrated casinos that only VIPs can use.
A tail that was difficult to catch.
You can’t miss it.
‘The first goal was achieved.’
We also confirmed who the angel possessing a human body was.
When I was wondering what to do next.
It felt exhilarating.
The [Cosmic Stream] responded to the strange magic pattern and made a warning sound.
A chaotic period that was thrown out.
Part of the space was unrecognizable, as if there was a hole in it.
‘Who is it?’
I slowly opened my closed eyes.
I looked in the direction where the [cosmic flow] reacted.
Is it a coincidence?
Someone wearing a green dinosaur mask made eye contact with me.
The eyes revealed through the mask flashed.
Each other’s eyes intertwined in the air.
After a while.
Dinosaur Mask stood up and pointed at 4 o’clock with his right hand.
[Private Room]
Do you want to talk?
‘Reading the mana synchronization and deflecting it.’
I guess he’s not an ordinary person.
I got interested.
I used [Eye of Truth].
The moment I check the status window out of curiosity to see what kind of person is behind that mask.
“uh’?”
A dumb sound came out of my mouth.
[Theresa Campbell]
Race: Human / Age: 35 Strength: 712 / Dexterity: 794 / Stamina
: 651 / Tenacity: 585 / Horsepower: 700
[Potential – 120%]

for a moment.
What are these abilities?
Kim Bo-seong, an S-class hunter, also has average abilities.
There were 500 units.
thinking about it.
I’ve heard of that name before.
‘If it’s Teresa… surely?’
omg –
I was surprised and let out a deep breath.
It’s a shame he’s wearing a mask.
I almost revealed my agitated emotions.
‘Why is my brother coming out here?’
The opponent was bigger than I thought.
This was someone I never thought I would meet in an underground casino.
The identity of the dinosaur mask was surprising, but at the same time, curiosity arose.
Let me hear what you want to talk about.
“Penggu. I’m going to visit for a bit, so I’m playing some games.”
-I get it. bruise!
Fenrir gave a cursory answer while keeping his gaze on the slot machine.
This guy.
If you leave the casino, you will be scolded.
I quietly walked to the private room, leaving Fenrir behind.
Rice *
A room where confidentiality is guaranteed.
It is a space that is double protected with soundproofing and a magic circle to prevent voices from leaking out.
Only two people came inside, the dinosaur masked being and me.
“You said you were doing something interesting.”
A voice whose gender and age cannot be guessed.
This is a function built into the mask.
“Because I didn’t know there would be someone skilled enough to recognize that.”
I’m serious.
My magic waves were so secret that even the possessed angels could not notice them.
The dinosaur mask that recognized that is amazing.
“Why did you sweep the casino with magic?”
“There’s a guy I’m looking for.”
“You’re not here to enjoy the casino?”
“for a moment.”
I raised my right hand and stopped the dinosaur mask from speaking.
“Questions are only fair if they are asked back and forth.”
“Okay. If you have any questions, please let me know.”
Dinosaur Mask crossed his arms and waited for me to ask a question.
“Why did you ask me to meet you here separately?”
“I need your exploration skills too.”
“What if I don’t cooperate?”
“Wouldn’t I be embarrassed if it were found out that I came to the casino for a different purpose?”
You say cute things.
But…
I was the one who was embarrassed, and the dinosaur mask was the same for me.
“Aren’t we both in the same position?”
“What do you mean?”
“One of the 12 heroes has a hobby.
“You probably didn’t come to the casino.”
There was silence for a moment.
The dinosaur mask remained silent, like a mute, and then spoke in a quiet voice.
“I don’t know why you’re suddenly looking for the 12 heroes.”
“The Harvester, Teresa Campbell.”
I mentioned her real name.
12 Heroes.
This refers to those who have fought monsters together with warriors since the Great Cataclysm.
Teresa, the woman in the dinosaur mask, is the 12th
One of the heroes.
The names of heroes were a regular question in the world history class of third grade middle school students.
‘I memorized it while writing.’
Praise, Korea’s cramming education!
The dinosaur mask neither confirmed nor denied anything.
Even though he’s not saying anything, he’s probably quite confused inside.
but.
You must be curious.
Have you ever noticed that if you raise your senses, you are stronger?
Without [Eye of Truth], I couldn’t even get the name right.
‘As long as you don’t make a fuss, there won’t be a problem.’
It didn’t matter that Teresa sensed my ‘feeling’.
Since I found traces of Elysium in the casino, I have already achieved my goal.
but.
One question arose.
Her purpose.
Why do we need detection capabilities?
I was curious as to why a person with as many as 12 heroes would be looking for someone at the casino.
‘ruler. Then, let’s try to have a serious conversation.’
I made a judgment based on Teresa’s characteristics as seen through the eyes of truth.
I slowly took off the bald lion mask that covered my face.
“you……
“Jeon Min-cheol. A free mercenary of the Interstellar Alliance.
all.”
“Why did you take off your mask?”
“Since you also noticed my trick, let’s call it a draw.”
“That doesn’t mean I can tell you whether I am one of the 12 heroes or not.”
hey.
I think that statement alone has already proven it, right?
Instead of revealing my true feelings, I said what I had prepared.
“If you are honest, I will show off my abilities.”
“I might be able to help you.”
Tuktuk-.
Dinosaur Mask tapped his forearm with his fingers.
He lowered his head slightly as if he was thinking about it.
“I like your confident appearance. I’ll do whatever you want.”
I put my hand on the mask.
The dinosaur mask came off, revealing her bare face.
Red hair that reaches her waist.
Green eyes and white skin stand out
This is a beautiful woman coming in.
indeed.
‘I tried it because it has the characteristics of a judge, and fortunately it worked well.’
The reason I forced Teresa was because I believed in her characteristics that I confirmed with the [Eyes of Truth].
‘Judge’ is a characteristic seen in those who follow justice and truth.
“Wow, it’s much more comfortable and nice to take it off.”
A clear voice came out of Teresa’s mouth.
It doesn’t match the atmosphere inside the casino.
Not a tone.
I felt like the gloomy atmosphere of the private room was disappearing a little.
“What should I look for?”
“Ugh W
▽ •
Teresa frowned and pondered.
It was quite fun to watch the forehead twitching over and over again.
But they say they are willing to help, but they can’t say anything right away.
“If you don’t have anything to say, you don’t have anything…
“Someone with the same vibration as this one
Please choose.”
Teresa blurted out something.
It was a white feather.
for a moment.
This thing…?
I looked at her hands in surprise.
