I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 13

Episode 013

Moreover, the scythe that Seo Ji-han is holding belongs to Silagis, the demon king of the dungeon who was the first and last person to successfully conquer it.

The one who killed the evil spirit king Silagis and inherited his weapon, the Lion’s Scythe.

Usually, they specialize in either attack only or defense only, but Seo Ji-han was capable of both attack and defense.

Even though it has no healing or auxiliary skills, it is truly unique among combat hunters.

Suddenly, I felt envious enough to forget my fear for a moment.

Although not as good as him, I usually have at least three skills.

Why on earth do I do nothing but collect?

After Kergis confirmed that neither physical nor magical attacks were very effective against Seo Ji-han.

The battle changed again to a boring battle of defense and defense.

It’s not good.

In a war of attrition, Kergis, which is the home ground, has the advantage.

There was no way Seo Ji-han couldn’t think like this, which I also did.

He, who was moving quickly, suddenly stopped in the same spot.

Then he took something out of his inventory, broke it, tore it up, and was engulfed in a halo of light.

At first glance, it seemed to be an extremely high-grade stat-boosting item.

I had an ominous feeling that something big was about to be exchanged.

I felt Kergis tense up, as if he had the same thoughts as me.

Its huge wings trembled and its mouth, which was shaped like a crab’s snout, twitched.

You have to run away.

If I don’t run away now, I won’t be able to survive.

If you get caught in it, you’ll die.

Instead of standing up, I decided to slowly crawl while lying down.

If possible, I hoped that Kergis would not recognize me until the end of this fight.

However, the moment I moved about 30 centimeters to the side, I felt a huge pressure above my head.

I could tell without having to look up.

Kergis had noticed my presence.

It was just that he recognized this place, but I felt a pressure that made it difficult to breathe.

I knew it!

I knew it would be like this! Just hold your breath!

No, I think I would have died anyway. This was the best.

It just failed.

Die.

There was no way Kergis, who was sharpened by Seo Ji-han’s unusual atmosphere, could save the variable.

A chirping sound was heard.

I knew it because I heard it once.

This is the sound of Kergis gathering magical energy into his horn.

I closed my eyes tightly.

I didn’t want to imagine it, but it reminded me of myself dying with my whole body pierced.

Above my closed eyes, I felt the surroundings becoming brighter.

Next, the terrible pain…

I couldn’t feel it.

what?

What happened?

When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Seo Ji-han standing between me and Kergis.

A black energy radiated from him and surrounded me.

Did you protect me? really?

I thought they would just let him die, but it was really unexpected.

It’s hard to believe, but Seo Ji-han threw himself out there to save a civilian.

Considering his image in the media, this is impossible.

“I will stop you, so run away.”

There was no way it could go as smoothly as Seo Ji-han intended.

The moment my location was discovered and Seo Ji-han protected me, I became his weak point.

Because fighting while protecting something is much more difficult than fighting alone.

As I was about to turn around and run, a huge beam of light struck in front of me.

It was Kergis’s intention to not let me go.

“This guy is easygoing.”

Seo Ji-han, who grinned as if he didn’t like it, glanced at me and adjusted his scythe.

“Shall we see if we can still afford it?”

At the same time as he said that, a deep energy that I had never seen before spread out.

Perhaps because of his mood, the scythe he was holding seemed to be getting bigger.

Seeing the unusual appearance of energy being spread everywhere, Chung King Kergis hurriedly brought his two front legs together and stabbed Seo Ji-han strongly.

And Seo Ji-han’s body was pierced.

“It hurts.”

No, of course it will hurt!

I was looking at Kergis’ front paw sticking out of Seo Ji-han’s back with the feeling that my eyes were going to pop out.

Because of the difference in size, Seo Ji-han felt like he would be cut in half just by being stabbed.

I want to run now, but I don’t think Kergis will let me go.

“Good.”

The black energy flowing from his body became more intense.

The scythe was getting bigger and bigger, so much so that I couldn’t blame it on my mood.

No, it’s still getting bigger.

“Kiik!”

Kergis, who was trying to pull out the front paw stuck in Seo Ji-han, cried out in embarrassment.

However, the front paws were covered in black energy and did not move.

It was as if I had captured Kergis with my own body.

At this point, Kergis’ horns also became bright blue.

I don’t know what kind of attack Seo Ji-han was preparing, but it seemed like he meant to confront it head-on.

Thanks to this, Kergis seemed to have lost his mind on me.

I took advantage of the gap and tried to get as far away from the scene as possible.

Ugh. Help me.

I have nothing to do with this fight.

As I was running frantically, the back suddenly became brighter and a shock wave hit me with a loud noise.

I was rolling around on the floor and barely came to my senses, but I saw something so amazing that I forgot the pain in my whole body.

The first thing I saw was Kergis, cut in half and screaming in pain.

Black darkness was clinging to a huge wound that seemed to have been eaten by something on Kergis.

As the darkness consumed him, Kergis’ presence began to fade little by little.

It’s dying.

And in front of him, Seo Ji-han, whose core had evaporated, was lying around carelessly.

Even his wounds were being eaten away by Kergis’ blue energy.

No matter how you look at it, it is a fatal wound.

I was mesmerized by the incredible sight and hurriedly ran to Seo Ji-han.

“Ah…”

Seeing Seo Ji-han up close, he was in an even more miserable state. He

was missing his right chest and abdomen, and the arm that was holding the scythe had fallen off.

His legs were missing below the knees.

It was a wonder he was alive.

This was even with a healing potion . No.

I don’t even know how high a level of healing potion is needed to treat the boss monster’s attack in the first place.

I quickly picked him up. I

didn’t care about my hands getting dirty with blood. I

just didn’t want him rolling around on the stone floor like this. I thought it couldn’t be done.

And almost immediately, a notification message appeared.

King Kergis has died.

After a while, the connection to the space maintained by Kergis’ power will be disconnected.

He must have received that message too.

A faint smile appeared on his face. It spread.

“I didn’t know I was going to die.”

He came alone to kill the dungeon boss and didn’t risk death. He

‘s truly an amazing person.

But that doesn’t change the fact that he’s dying now.

He blinked vaguely, but at some point, he focused on me.

“Can we leave now?”

After saying those words, all the strength left his body.

Are you dead?

Are you really dead?

“Hey? Seo Ji-han? Come to your senses. You can leave now. You won, but you can’t die like this.”

I called him dozens of times, but his closed eyes showed no sign of opening.

His body was getting stiffer.

What was his will?

What was it?

Tears were flowing.

My heart was tight due to an emotion that I couldn’t define.

Just as he said , An escape gate was open where Kergis died.

Many escape gates would have been created not only here but throughout this dungeon.

If anyone was still alive, they would be able to escape through the gate.

I wiped away my tears and stood up. .

I saw the huge corpse of Kergis that I had not looted yet.

When I saw that, I came to my senses.

I couldn’t just blow this away.

I activated my gathering skill and looted Kergis’ body.

I felt like I had gained a lot, but separately. I didn’t check it.

I didn’t feel like checking it.

Anyway, it’s sure to be an item that will be of great help when conquering other dungeons later.

Now, if you pass through the gate, you can leave here.

After finishing collecting Kergis, I suddenly turned around. I saw

Seo Ji-han dead, looking so miserable.

He looked so sad that I couldn’t imagine his fate when he was alive.

I think it would be a good idea to take his body out and take care of it.

But I saw something a little strange.

His body was surrounded by a pale golden light. After collecting Kergis, the gathering skill had not been released yet.

When using the skill, if you look at an object that can be collected, it is displayed in gold like that.

Now that I think about it, I think I can put that corpse in my inventory.

Yes, I can take it and have a funeral .

Let’s deal with it.

After using the gathering skill on Seo Ji-han, I took a last look at the dungeon and entered the gate. I

wasn’t greedy for any of the Avitanis or Pymtopice that were everywhere.

I was rather sick of it.

It was already night outside.

The ambulance The red light hurt my eyes.

People who came out of the dungeon first were walking, covered in blankets and sitting trembling.

People who had been swept into the dungeon and people who were swept away by the twisting space explosion were all mixed together, making it a disaster scene itself.

Stupidly, I trudged through it. As I was trudging, someone suddenly grabbed me and grabbed me.

“Mr. Moa! Mr. Moa! Oh my gosh, Moa, are you okay? There’s a patient here! I lived! Moa came out alive! Please be patient. The medical staff…”

It was the deputy chief.

He seemed very surprised because I, covered in blood, looked like I had been seriously injured.

Fortunately, the deputy chief seemed to be okay.

Why are you here instead of going to the hospital?

“Deputy manager, I’m fine.”

Why is my throat so hoarse?

The moment I touched my neck in shock, I suddenly burst into tears.

My body temperature touched my hand.

I felt warm because I was alive.

I finally felt that I had escaped from that hell.
