I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 98

Episode 099
You have to come to your senses.
I somehow managed to move my frozen body and slightly pushed Seo Ji-han away.
But it was of no use. Still, we succeeded in gaining some distance.
In that state, I looked up at Seo Ji-han and stammered a question.
My expression was probably one of shock itself.
“Why why? why? “Why?”
fool.
Why are you suddenly hugging me like this? I wanted to say that, but what came out of my mouth was a pathetic stammer.
Unlike me, who was so irritable that I couldn’t even look at him, Seo Ji-han had a relaxed face with a gentle smile on his face.
He looked down and spoke with a burdensome tone.
“You’ll never know how much I wanted to do this.”
How do I know!
I didn’t have a chance to say that to Seo Ji-han.
This is because after finishing speaking, he released the hug, turned around, and walked somewhere.
The direction is towards Banseohu.
I felt a little down. Still, you immediately look for him as a friend.
Seohu Ban was looking at Seo Jihan approaching him with slightly red eyes.
You must be thrilled because your dead friend came back to life.
I still don’t like Lord Ban, but if Seo Ji-han is this close to him, I should try to resolve the grudge against Lord Ban.
“Ji-han…” When
Seo-hoo Ban called faintly, Seo Ji-han smiled sweetly.
Then he stretched out his hand and blew Seo-hoo Ban away?
There was a whistling sound as if the air was being torn.
Can’t you see it clearly ? A fist so fast that he couldn’t believe hit Seohu Ban.
The chair behind Seohu Ban crashed down and his body flew around like a cartoon, smashing into the wall next to it.
After destroying several walls, Seohu Ban fell to a small body on the floor. I fell into it while creating a crater.
It’s Elfanis’ house.
I’ll have to apologize later. By the way, isn’t Seo-hoo Ban dead?
Unlike me, who was worried, Eun-dam Yoo and Ji-han Seo had calm expressions.
Just how strong of a man is Seo-hu Ban? He
doesn’t even have any skills. He was in a bitter state, but he didn’t even worry after beating him like that.
“I was right, you brat. And from now on, don’t mess with Moa. Listen carefully. I warned you.”
With those last words, Seo Ji-han’s materialization slowly dissolved.
I’m grateful that you said that, but should I be happy about this?
Hey, let’s just think positively. You were thinking of me.
Seo Ji-han, who had blown away Ban Seo-hu, turned back to me as if it was natural. It’s here.
I’m not as burdened as before because the materialization has been released, but the aftereffects of being suddenly hugged haven’t gone away yet, so it’s a bit difficult.
Seeing that his face is still a little hot, I think the excitement hasn’t gone away. Unlike
me, who doesn’t know what to do while trying to control his red face, Seo Ji-han is. He had a calm demeanor as usual.
As I watched that, I quickly began to calm down.
Oh, well. I see.
Was it just a friendly hug?
Well, how many times have there been moments when we were together and wished that he had a body?
Among those, he actually did have a body. So, it could be a touching hug.
I almost misunderstood something.
He even said something meaningful, so I was surprised.
Plus, Seo Ji-han is very handsome, so his instantaneous destructive power is strong.
So, I was conscious of it too.
That’s right . It can be done. It can be done. Even
when I was shaking alone in the Beast King type dungeon and in the Chung king type dungeon, he also felt quite sorry for me.
There were times when he tried to catch me when I tried to fall.
‘Like this’ in ‘How much I wanted to do this’ It’s clear that he wanted to hug me. It
wasn’t a romantic meaning, but it was probably just a humanity-loving meaning of wanting to comfort someone who was having a hard time.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to look at him so calmly.
Ugh, I almost got in big trouble. I
just mistakenly thought I was alone and felt awkward. It almost happened.
– What’s wrong? Your face is red. Are you hot?
Seo Ji-han asked a question for no reason with an expression on his face that seemed like he didn’t know anything.
I was convinced of my thoughts by those words.
It didn’t mean anything either. I didn’t even care and didn’t care. I have to act less.
“No, I was a little surprised. I’m okay now.”
– Really? I’m glad. I was a little worried because he seemed so surprised.
I found a slight hint of playfulness on Seo Ji-han’s smiling face.
It was probably as if he knew that I was momentarily aware of him.
But I had already concluded everything. . I’m not shaken now.
– I’m going to do a lot of things like this in the future, so I shouldn’t be surprised every time.
“Huh?”
– Huh?
I asked in surprise, but Seo Ji-han just looked at me with that smiling face.
Something was strange. I guess he was just trying to make fun of me.
He was originally a person who was far from joking, but I guess he changed his color a little after spending time with me.
“No. “But there’s no change?”
I looked in the direction where Ban Seo-hoo flew and asked quietly.
I was worried about Ban Seo-hoo, but I didn’t like him enough to go and check on him, so I decided to just stay still.
Looking at Yoo Eun-dam and Seo Ji-han’s reactions, it seemed like there was no need to worry. –
Ah, there is a change. I felt it earlier, but it seems like the distance limit has disappeared. Originally, you couldn’t be more than 3 meters away from the soul stone.
“Has the distance limit disappeared completely?”
– I’m not sure about that. At least I feel like I’ve become a freer spirit than before.
To other people, I might be talking to myself, but Elfanis, Rodran, and Yu Eundam don’t seem to care.
Elfanis is worried about Secretary Ban . He glanced in that direction and fidgeted for some reason, but he didn’t move as if he was watching me. That’s okay.
“Is there anything else?”
– Well, as I said before, the inventory has been created and the status window has come back. The abilities have been slightly lowered. Everything is fine except that you can materialize for 1 minute every 6 hours. “If the inventory has returned, I should also return Seo Ji-han’s equipment items. That way, he can materialize
. “I’ll be able to use it later. Can I get it if I give it to you now?”
In fact, Seo Ji-han seems to have recovered most of his abilities from his lifetime, except that the time he can materialize per day is limited. The
materialization time is currently about 60 seconds, but it will gradually increase.
How much will it be if he absorbs all the magic stone energy for 48 hours? Will the time increase?
I absorbed it briefly for 1 minute, so if I eat it all, it will be quite long, right?
– I don’t think it will work now. I have to materialize it to be able to use my powers while alive.
“Then I’ll give it to you later.”
Yoo Eun-dam, who was watching our conversation, seemed to have many things he wanted to ask.
I deliberately pretended not to notice his gaze.
Meanwhile, Seo-hu Ban, who had been pinned to the floor, got up and calmly walked away, shaking off stones and dust. He
was really fine. What did he say? Are you a created human? At that rate, the attack I made earlier wouldn’t even count as an attack.
“Seo-hoo, are you okay?”
I didn’t know what attitude to take, so I just stood there shyly, but Yoo Eun-dam quickly ran over to
me. Still, he comforted
me by saying that he was my close younger brother. “There really isn’t a single wound. Are you human? Still, I think Ji-han’s brother hit him gently. Ji-han. “Thank your brother.”
No, it wasn’t comforting, it seemed like he was teasing
. I suddenly felt a little sorry for Seo-hoo Ban.
But, just to make a slight impression, Seo-hu Ban held out his hand to Eun-dam Yoo, who was circling around like a Chihuahua.
“Give it to me now.”
“what?”
Seeing Yoo Eun-dam’s face pretending not to notice, Ban Seo-hu’s expression became even more grim.
He suddenly gestured at Elfanis.
“Are you going to catch him?”
Only then did I realize what Seohu Ban was talking about.
I came here to catch the boss monster in the first place, but since I was given the dungeon and even made him my vassal, there was no need to attack him, which was my original goal. Moreover, I didn’t even need to eat the horn, and I was able to use
his skills as well. Since I got it, it wasn’t much of a benefit to me.
In the meantime, there was no reason to kill Elfanis, so my business here was over.
At least the purpose of asking for help from Lord Ban was achieved.
Perhaps Lord Ban decided to receive something in return in exchange for helping. I thought he did.
It seemed like Yoo Eun-dam was pretending not to know.
“Ah, no. Of course I didn’t catch him. He’s Moa’s subordinate. He’s on our side now.”
Why do you keep calling me your older sister?…
Nope.
“Then it’s my turn to get paid.”
“Huh? What are you talking about? My brother didn’t help me in anything. All I did was fight with my teammate.”
“Don’t play around, Eundam Yoo. I’m not in the mood. Give it to me quickly.”
“But what do you mean by giving it to me? I only asked for help, but I don’t think I said I would give anything.”
Seeing Yoo Eun-dam’s calm attitude, Seo-hu Ban’s face stiffened horribly. There
was a suffocatingly heavy atmosphere between the two.
Just looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like Seo-hu Ban was going to kill Eun-dam Yoo right away.
“Do you want to die?”
“Hey, why are you doing this? You said you would help me? But how could you kill me? You’re weak.”
Yoo Eun-dam is acting slyly, pretending not to know
. That’s an action to increase his purity by 100%.
The atmosphere around Seo-hu Ban is becoming increasingly harsh, but
he doesn’t seem to care. To be honest, I don’t want to care if Seo-hu Ban is becoming more hostile, but I am Since Seojin’s name came up, I felt like I was involved as well.
“What do you mean?”
Seohu Ban gave me a cold look, as if to say, “I’m out
of luck. In contrast, Eundam Yoo looked at me with a slightly troubled face.
It was a familiar expression.
He used to look at me like that after Seungju hit me in an accident or ate my snack without permission.
” “Instead of coming here to help with the strategy, they said they would help rescue the captured Hunter Ban Seo-jin.”
It’s not like he came without a price.
In fact, Hunter Ban Seo-jin is currently being held on false charges, so Ban Seo-hu must be in a pretty urgent situation.
If things were going as they were, he would be trying to steal away his family instead of following along in this dungeon raid.
“Hmm. So. “What are you asking for?”
“video.”
In place of Yoo Eun-dam, Ban Seo-hoo gave a short answer:
Ah, a video.
