!?
“So, I was worried that Barce might do something else, so I installed a camera in the computer room and private room that I made separately for Barce… This is what was filmed, right?”
“Yes.”
In response to Black Cat’s answer, Kim Joo-hyuk unconsciously looked at Barce, who was typing frantically on the keyboard in the video, and made a bewildered expression.
‘…I knew you were playing games like this originally.’
In fact, Kim Joo-hyuk has seen Barce play the game more than once.
However, it’s not like I’ve seen a ton of them. Nevertheless, I was watching enough to understand how he was enjoying the game.
however.
‘Why does it seem to have gotten a little worse?’
Kim Joo-hyuk saw Barce screaming in the video.
Do people in the world know?
The person who is currently sending my parents to heaven in front of the computer monitor is actually the owner of the Tower of Destruction who tried to destroy this world 300 years ago.
‘I think I’ve seen a phrase somewhere before that said gaming is a disease.’
In the past, I didn’t think much of that phrase, but for some reason, looking at Barce’s current appearance, the phrase seemed to make a lot of sense.
“okay.”
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been watching the video for a while, soon handed over his smartphone to Black Cat and spoke immediately.
“Well, I guess there’s no need to watch anymore.”
“Did I do something for nothing?”
“No, that’s not it.”
It was not Kim Joo-hyuk’s order to install a hidden camera in Barce’s room.
In any case, installing the camera was the arbitrary decision of Black Cat and the ruler behind it.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk had no particular desire to rebuke those two.
In the first place, it was strange to even trust the guy who destroyed the world 300 years ago.
‘Well, in my case, I’ve already heard this and that from Barche, so my feelings are a little different.’
Thinking that far, Kim Joo-hyuk recalled that he rarely explained Barche to others.
‘I did introduce it briefly.’
Kim Joo-hyuk decided to seize the day and take some time to explain about Barce, and then looked at Moo-gwang as if it was something new.
‘Rather, he is rather interesting.’
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at Moo-gwang, who was still quietly practicing martial arts in one corner of the training room without making even the slightest sound.
Even though Moo-gwang immediately sealed himself and entrusted the power to himself, he continued his training calmly without showing any dissatisfaction.
‘Is it finally time to trust him?’
When I think about it calmly, I feel like I can trust him because he looks calmer than Barche, so he looked at Moo-gwang for a while, then shrugged his shoulders and spoke.
“Well, anyway, retrieve the camera. “I don’t think I could explain Barce well, so I’ll explain it to you later.”
“All right.”
Black Cat bows his head in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
However, Black Cat did not leave immediately after that and looked at Kim Joo-hyuk with a slightly hesitant expression before speaking.
“Hey, Kim Joo-hyuk?”
“why?”
“If you don’t mind, is it okay for dinner tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow dinner? What’s going on?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Black Cat thought for a moment and spoke.
“No, it’s not really a big deal, but the master behind the scenes said he wanted to have a meal alone for the first time in a long time.”
“Is it Balgwang?”
“yes.”
how? Kim Joo-hyuk was about to ask, but suddenly remembered the incarnation of Adelia Bentrick that he had mentioned earlier, and immediately nodded and spoke.
“Well, it’s not a bad idea to eat together once after a long time.”
“Yes, then I will prepare something separately for tomorrow evening.”
“Okay then.”
After hearing Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer, Black Cat bows his head with a very satisfied expression and leaves.
And in Black Cat’s mind.
[Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job!Good job! !!!!]
The ruler behind the scenes was cheering.

The next afternoon, in the training room.
Kwaaaang!
“Tsk!”
Barce, who had been training with Kim Joo-hyuk for a while, opened his mouth, sticking out his tongue as if it was nonsense.
“That doesn’t make sense.”
“what?”
Unlike Barce, who is frowning, Kim Joo-hyuk answers with a relaxed expression.
Looking at him like that, Barche answered.
“Isn’t the speed of getting stronger ridiculously fast?”
Barce truly thought so and looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was still relaxed but had a strange expression on his face as if something was not resolved.
‘I’m definitely stronger than before.’
Barce recalled the time when he sparred with Kim Joo-hyuk just before.
Of course, I knew that Kim Joo-hyuk’s strength was not only gained through training, but also by absorbing the name through the miraculous effect in his hand, and above all, I knew in advance that he would become stronger quickly.
‘But experiencing it directly is different.’
As expected, there was a difference between just appreciating it with one’s own eyes and seeing it directly, so Barce once again looked at Kim Joo-hyuk with emotions ranging between admiration and astonishment.
Rather than a relaxed expression, Kim Joo-hyuk was making an ambiguous expression.
“Why are you doing that?”
Barce asks a question while looking at Kim Joo-hyuk’s expression.
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke with a disapproving expression on his face.
“I didn’t get that feeling from last time.”
“Last time?”
“Did I ever say that? “When fighting the black dragon.”
Barce nodded as if he understood what Kim Joo-hyuk said.
“So, did you say that you definitely felt like it wasn’t you at that time?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded to Barce’s question and recalled that time.
‘Definitely then.’
Kim Joo-hyuk swung the sword of his own volition, but strangely enough, he felt like the person who swung the sword was someone other than Kim Joo-hyuk.
That sword clearly helped Kim Joo-hyuk defeat the black dragon that he thought was difficult to deal with.
That contradictory feeling.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at Barce.
‘I thought it would come out if we sparred…’
Honestly, Barce was a very good sparring partner for Kim Joo-hyuk.
Right now, Barce is definitely one step short of Kim Joo-hyuk, but he is the owner of the Tower of Destruction, who had the power to destroy the world 300 years ago.
Moreover, Barce now has stronger power than before, and thanks to that, Kim Joo-hyuk, who has recently been sparring with Barce, is feeling that his skills are improving faster than before.
‘Strangely, those emotions from back then don’t come out very well.’
Kim Joo-hyuk recalled that time with a subtle expression.
That strange feeling he felt the moment he used Mushinryu.
Kim Joo-hyuk wanted to recreate the feeling of heterogeneity he felt at that time several times while sparring with Barce, but unfortunately, he did not feel that feeling of heterogeneity even once during the sparring.
“Tsk.”
That’s why I feel dissatisfaction.
Barce, who was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk for a moment, thought about it and then answered.
“Maybe it’s something that only comes out in an emergency situation?”
“Emergency?”
“okay.”
“If it’s an emergency, we made it once during our last sparring.”
Just because Kim Joo-hyuk purely sparred, it doesn’t mean he didn’t try other things, and there were times when he thought that such a scene might be produced in an emergency situation.
Therefore, during the last sparring, Kim Joo-hyuk artificially created a slightly emergency situation and sparred with Barche, but the result was the same even then.
However, despite Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Barce shook his head and spoke.
“No, that’s not what I’m talking about, I’m talking about a real emergency situation.”
“Hmm…”
“Even if we created an emergency situation in the first place, we only artificially recreated the situation and did not actually create the situation.”
“That’s… true.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nods his head as if Barce’s words are correct.
“Then what should I do?”
“…If you want to feel a real threat, not an artificial one… I guess it’s better to wait for someone to come down from above. “There is a high probability that someone stronger will come down this time than the one we dealt with last time.”
“…We Ra.”
Thinking about it, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded with a slightly subtle expression because he thought it was time for someone to come down again.
“…Then ultimately, what I have to do now is to improve my skills as much as possible until someone comes down.”
“yes. “There is no guarantee that this time, like last time, the person coming down will come down injured.”
“I was definitely lucky back then.”
Kim Joo-hyuk thought of Yeo Dong-bin and nodded.
If Yeo Dong-bin hadn’t been hurt, it was obvious that he would have been an annoying opponent.
“…How much further are you going to come down?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth, Barche responded.
“Probably, now that they have noticed your existence, they will continue to send someone down until you die or this world is destroyed.”
“…Will the Lord of the Labyrinth come down later?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Barce shook his head at that.
“No, the Lord of the Labyrinth probably won’t come down.”
“Tsk, then you’re saying that in order to get the job done, you have to go up to catch that guy.”
Barce nodded and responded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“Yes, and on the contrary, this situation is good for us. The fact that the labyrinth master does not come down is ultimately up to us, but the things we can take are increasing.”
“That’s right.”
“And after we receive the names and become strong enough, we can go up to catch the Labyrinth Jewel ourselves.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at Barce’s words.
Obviously, the reason why the head of the labyrinth did not come down directly but instead sent another name down was because Kim Joo-hyuk could continue to become stronger if he could handle the person who came down.
‘I’m just anxious because I feel like someone I can’t handle will come down.’
At least in Kim Joo-hyuk’s opinion, Mi-gung-ju is not stupid.
Because he was clearly letting go of someone Kim Joo-hyuk couldn’t handle at some point.
However, even though Kim Joo-hyuk realized that, he did not become anxious.
just.
“Okay then, let’s do it a few more times.”
“…It’s already been five hours today”
“I have to do two more hours.”
“….”
Kim Joo-hyuk did what he could.
And just like that, when Kim Joo-hyuk was about to go down.
“Now then, let’s go down here as well.”
In the secret room where the window was located, the watchman who had been looking down through the window was smiling with his mouth twisted.
