I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 61

Episode 061

After finishing looting, we went back to finding monsters and conquering the dungeon.

Build a camp, kill nearby monsters, and when you no longer see monsters, build a camp somewhere else and repeat.

Fortunately, I’ve only encountered weak monsters so far, so there hasn’t been much danger.

At this level, you can easily pierce it with ‘Chungwangpot!’

To be honest, it was a bit boring.

Close-range combatants, who turn into green men every time they finish a battle, seem to think differently.

“Wait a minute, isn’t that person over there?”

Mirae Noh, who was standing in the lead, raised her hand and pointed to one side.

It certainly seems like something much smaller than the monster is moving slowly.

It was dark so I couldn’t see it clearly, but it clearly had a human shape.

“Is this another attack team?”

Noh Heemang muttered doubtfully.

“hmm. Well, that could be true. Or maybe you’re a loser. “You’ll find out when you get there.”

Baek Dae-man walked ahead with strides.

Then others had no choice but to follow.

They were walking towards us from the other side, and when I looked closer, I saw a total of three well-dressed hunters.

Accessories that felt magical and clothes of special shapes were definitely items.

“Your rank seems quite high. Are you from a large guild?”

Ban Seo-jin, who looked at them with sharp eyes, quietly evaluated them.

“I guess so. Let’s take this opportunity to get acquainted. “It’s all about connections.”

Ban Seo-jin’s face hardened, as if he was not very satisfied with Baek Dae-man’s response.

However, the eyes of Noh Mi-rae and Noh Hee-mang were wide open when they heard the word “connections.”

Then, they both stood close behind Baek Dae-man, with humble smiles on their faces.

Unlike the three men walking happily, Ban Seo-jin and I were reluctant.

The closer I get, the more strange it feels.

It felt strangely ominous.

I was too nervous to think of it as being wary of strangers.

– be careful. Those guys look like they’re going to fight if anything happens.

Seo Ji-han glanced at their walking stance and warned in a low voice.

Seeing him say this, I guess it’s just my feelings.

“Are you from the Baekgwang Guild?”

When we finally got close enough to talk, the other side spoke first.

All three of them were covering their faces with what looked like black masks, which felt suspicious for no reason.

“Oh, how did you know? “It’s Baekgwang Guild.”

Baek Dae-man was spoken to in a completely different manner than when he was with us.

Noh Mirae and Noh Hee-mang also spoke to them softly, as if they had changed people.

No matter how you look at the atmosphere and energy they gave off, they were very high-level hunters.

Maybe stronger than me. Seo Ji-han, who was stronger than me, whispered into my nervous ear.

– Grab the escape seat and prepare to use it if necessary….

Before he could finish his sentence, I suddenly felt an eerie feeling.

I reflexively jumped backwards, but what seemed to be a sharp force tore the front of my clothes.

I managed to avoid the attack, but the people nearby couldn’t.

Baek Dae-man hurriedly withdrew, saying it was still a battle.

Noh Mirae was holding a shield and blocking his brother’s path.

“What is it? “Why is this happening all of a sudden?”

Surprised, Noh Heemang screamed in horror.

At those words, the masked person in front smiled slightly.

“I’m not really giving up though.”

He spoke calmly and before he knew it, he took out a weapon from his inventory.

However, the shape of the weapon is very familiar.

A pitch-black scythe radiating black energy.

“Is that weapon Seojihan? Why you? Ooh, we didn’t do anything wrong!”

Noh Mirae swallowed a moan and was astonished.

I didn’t think there would be an answer, but unexpectedly the man stammered for a long time.

“Because we need to avoid the unfortunate event of the annihilation of guild members from small and medium-sized guilds who presumptuously set out to conquer dungeons. Also, it would be nice to leave a video of Seo Ji-han running around the dungeon killing weak hunters. Hey, are you ready to take pictures?”

“Uh oh. “Tell me anytime.”

“Don’t film everything, but film only the attacking part briefly. It felt like I barely got a shot while running away. “It’s like the only piece of evidence left behind by the unlucky hunters.”

While they were talking calmly among themselves, the confused team members seemed to understand the situation to some extent.

Noh Mirae muttered in a low voice.

“You’re not Seo Ji-han.”

“You shouldn’t say lines like that. I need to edit this. It’s an easy role where you just scream and die. “It’s simple, right?”

After speaking, he pointed his scythe towards us. And soaring living.

“run!”

Ban Seo-jin, who was standing next to me, grabbed my hand and started running recklessly.

A loud cry was heard from behind me.

It is the voice of Noh Hope.

“It’s the future!”

As I was running, I looked back for a moment and saw Noh Mirae collapsed with fatal injuries.

Then, I turned my head to see the masked man raising his scythe towards Noh Heemang.

There was a creepy sound like something was being cut.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe Seo Ji-han did such a terrible thing. Hahaha, this is really fun. Why are you running like that? “I wouldn’t be able to go far anyway.”

The fake Seo Ji-han, who talked theatrically like a madman, sneered.

No, you can’t just stand there and die.

“Hey, take out the escape seat. hurry!”

Ban Seo-jin urgently shouted to Baek Dae-man.

However, Baek Dae-man is distraught and busy running away.

He looks as if he is frightened and has lost his temper.

I don’t think we can expect anything from him.

Still, Ban Seo-jin’s shout brought me to my senses.

There is no end to running away like this.

I have to get out of here.

While I was being held by Ban Seo-jin’s hand, I opened the inventory with my other hand.

And I pulled Ban Seo-jin, who was pulling me back.

Then he took out the escape stone from his inventory and held it tightly.

It was a good idea to buy a multi-person escape seat just in case.

They might follow us, but if we do, the Dungeon Management Agency’s Hunters will help us.

The light flowing from the shattered escape stone formed a gate.

I can’t take care of Baek Dae-man, who has already run away alone.

He also has an escape stone, so he will be able to get out on his own.

But I was in no position to worry about others.

The moment I was about to jump into the gate, vines suddenly sprouted from under my feet.

The vines wrapped themselves around the bodies of Ban Seo-jin and me, preventing us from moving.

“Oh my gosh, I almost got into big trouble.”

The masked Hana grinned, holding out one hand.

Even though I was in a daze, I looked and saw that the energy emanating from his hands was connected to the ground.

This vine seems to be his skill.

Then the rest of the group appeared behind him.

“A hunter who has never been to a dungeon has all the multi-person escape seats.”

“I know. I wouldn’t be able to get in anyway. “It was a waste.”

It was very relaxed as they each exchanged a word with each other.

Their attitude is that we are not a threat.

“I’m totally playing with it.”

Ban Seo-jin, who stopped in front of me, gritted his teeth and muttered lowly.

I couldn’t tell what their expression was because they were turning their backs on me, but I could guess their face just by their voice.

“If you look closely, isn’t this Hunter Sonmoa? Guam’s savior with 0 deaths?”

A man holding a scythe walked trotting in front of me.

Then, in a move that was clearly mocking, he grabbed my chin and lifted it up.

“People would be really sad if they found out that such a good hunter wandered around in a low-quality guild and died because of his incompetent teammates. This is why small and medium-sized guilds shouldn’t be allowed to run dungeons. Things that have no ability. yes?”

I wanted to say something back, but it was hard to say because he was clenching his jaw so hard that it hurt.

It looks like the cheek or chin will be crushed if it is held by the fake Seo Ji-han’s hand.

It feels like I’m holding it gently, but it’s hard to move.

I thought that my strength level was so high that if I made a mistake, my head could be crushed to death.

Cold sweat runs down my back.

And Seo Ji-han was watching all of this with a scary face.

“by the way. The person who killed Hunter with his kind hands was Seo Ji-han, the strongest bastard in the world? How bad can this guy be doing? They should be caught immediately and made to pay for their crimes. “I guess so?”

When I heard those words, strangely enough, anger came to me before fear.

As I glared at him, my hands tightened.

There was a creaking sound as if my jaw was being smashed and pain rushed through me.

“Ho-oh, is this the final struggle? “Whatever skill you have, it won’t be of much use, right?”

skill? What are you talking about?

Did Ban Seo-jin do something?

However, Ban Seo-jin, who was tied up in front of me with his back to me, did not look like he could do anything.

Or did someone else come back alive?

It is difficult to look around because the jaw is tied tightly.

No, maybe it’s because of my mood, but it seems like the surroundings have become a little dark.

Is it because Baek Dae-man, who has the light bulb, has gone somewhere?

Even so, it seems a bit dark.

“what? “I’m trying to use the smoke bomb skill…”

The fake Seo Ji-han couldn’t finish what he was mocking.

This is because this space suddenly and noticeably darkened.

Only then did I realize the identity of this darkness.

A black fog rising softly from my toes.

It was a bit late to notice because the fog mixed with the poison in this dungeon.

What is this black fog I once saw?

– Hunter Kim Young-gil’s grudge….

Seo Ji-han, who was barely visible due to the black fog, quietly spoke my thoughts on my behalf.

And as if the answer was correct, a suffocating black energy filled the space.

The darkness is at a level where one’s senses seem to fail.

It was so dark that I couldn’t see anything.

I’m not sure if my eyes are open or closed, or if I’m standing or sitting.

The feel of the vines that had been squeezing my flesh was crushed, and I couldn’t even feel the strength with which I was holding my jaw.

Darkness like death.

“what! What! “I can’t see anything!”

The fake Seo Ji-han’s voice was heard from somewhere.

But I can’t tell whether I’m hearing it from far away or from up close.

And since everything seemed to be out of sync, Hunter Kim Young-gil’s resentment quietly cried as he saw through the situation.

{It’s unfair….}

An eerie and gloomy voice.

The darkness shook as if in sympathy with the sobbing.

{It is unfair….}
