Enemy (2)
“Don’t cry, you pig.”
“Who, who cried?”
Thanks to the pushing, the dagger got stuck in my body once more, but it wasn’t that bad. However, it was undeniable that I almost died.
When I thought about it, it was even more absurd, ‘I almost died.’
According to my thinking, Park Deok-gu should have stopped Kim Jae-Joon before the second attack, and Jung Hayan should have put magic into the healing ring before screaming.
I could only say that I was lucky. Because I shed so much blood, my mind had blurred.
It was also when I realized that even the smallest elements of my calculations could be ruined, and I realized that I shouldn’t gamble at will.
‘I should gamble only when necessary….’
I realized that I had to prepare more thoroughly before throwing the dice. It was unfortunate, but it couldn’t be helped. After all, it was normal to panic in a sudden situation.
One could suggest that it was a natural reaction for innocent Park Deok-gu or Hayan to have this appearance.
Maybe I should be grateful that it was over.
This was still a tutorial, and if we compared it to the game, we would still be beginners. Perhaps time will solve the problem of Hayan and Park Deok-gu.
“Brother, I….”
“I think I can just hold off Yoo Seok-woo.”
“No… Will you be okay?”
He simply nodded.
A very rare item, the magic shield ring, protected me.
Those who were visible with the mind’s eye had no power to penetrate the magic of this magic shield.
Suddenly, I was grateful to Kim Hyun-Sung. The item’s effect was better than I thought.
‘Magic shield.’
“Kie-e-e-e-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee
I saw monsters constantly tapping on the translucent membrane, but I didn’t feel scared. In the meantime, I started to prepare more spells.
“Lord, I pray, listen to my voice, answer, burn my enemies, give me strength….”
“….”
“Fireball.”
My head was a little dizzy. This situation was probably because of my low magic power, but probably also because I had bled and lost a lot of blood.
The wound was healed, but the damage remained.
When I recited the spell, a large fireball appeared in front of my eyes, dismantled the shield of magic, and reached outside.
Bang!
It was a perfect direct hit, but Park Deok-gu positioned himself in front of me, wondering if there were any survivors.
Simply put, I had created destruction.
“What….”
“Hyung-ssi, is your body okay?”
“It’s okay.”
I was a little dizzy, but it was no problem. Rather, it felt very refreshing. It was almost because I died and came back to life, and things were currently running pretty well.
Kim Hyun-sung will kill Jung Jin-ho, and Kim Jae-Joon will be held onto by Hayan, having a happy time.
What mattered was Yoo Seok-woo.
It didn’t mean that they were free and had nothing else to do. However, it was natural that the complete problem should be solved.
Park Deok-gu tied that guy up and held him down.
That would have been a poor leash, but it was better than none. No, in the first place, he couldn’t break such a leash with the strength he had now.
“Let me go! What do you want to do?”
Yoo Seok-woo had started to resist the moment he came to his senses, but there was no hope for him. He was struggling while lying on the floor, and Park Deok-gu was holding him down with sheer force.
“Bitch!”
“You, Lee Ki-young, you little mouse! Can’t you release me right now!?”
“Bitch.”
“The others will come here. Kim Hyun-sung is going to come right here after getting rid of that motherfucker, and stick a knife in your throat. You guys want to be saved? Dream on.”
He was talking willingly, but he couldn’t even say anything else because he was overwhelmed. The world of delusions in his brain was deeper than I thought.
“Haha.”
“Are you smiling? Is this funny? Do you think you can keep laughing like that? Lee Ki-young! And the pig next to him… I can’t forgive that Hayan also. Never! I will make you regret it every day…”
“What?”
“This….”
“I can’t hear you well?”
It’s no wonder that he was so mad. As I gently brought my hand to my ear, putting my face out, and raised his mouth, the face of the guy biting with anger was visible.
“This… Lee Ki-young, this trash!”
It is always fun to see such excitement.
“You must be pretty confident.”
“What…”
“The older brothers you love seem to have abandoned you and run away from everyone.”
“What?”
“Have you even heard from Jung Jin-ho? From the time Lee Ki-cheol died, the plan was canceled here… No, it was that they were getting friendly instead.”
“What?”
A face of embarrassment entered my line of vision. It seemed that he did not know it.
This was the scene that I wanted to see.
I wouldn’t be able to know this without my ‘Mind’s Eye,’ or Kim Hyun-sung’s reaction.
I would have thought, ‘You just have to be a little careful moving with a bad group.’
I was not very interested in whether I was right or wrong. Looking at his expression, it seemed to have been correct to some extent, but that didn’t matter now.
Of course, there was no reason to explain the situation to him.
“What… What are you talking about?”
“Bitch.”
I kept laughing. This was so much fun. The way this stupid guy moved reminded me of a doll or a shogi horse.
It was fortunate that Jung Jin-ho just thought of him as insurance.
“What is it like?”
“What are you talking about?”
I did not necessarily explain. Instead, I pleasantly smiled, ‘If you’re not stupid, you’ll know.’
However, Yoo Seok-woo just kept staring up at me blankly. Maybe he really was stupid.
Since I first suggested attacking the dungeon… The magic used for blocking the monster wave for the first time, the death of Lee Ki-Cheol, was indeed a little absurd.
He may even be realizing that everything was a well-crafted play, even when he had provoked on purpose. The stupid guy was now guessing why I was openly fiddling with Hayan.
There was no reason to just laugh at him and have a good time with Hayan. Everything was a petty trap set for himself.
He probably won’t even believe he had already taken the bait.
No matter how poorly humans controlled their minds, he really was such an anomaly.
Park Deok-gu looked at me with a startled expression, but he didn’t necessarily give or ask another explanation. This was because the face of the guy who wanted nothing more than to kill me was still in sight.
“This… Lee Ki-young, this trash! You’re crap!”
It was laughable that he was waiting for his brothers.
Jung Jin-ho decided that his power was insufficient, so he recruited Yoo Seok-woo and came down to the dungeon to create a variable.
In conclusion, he was nothing more than that.
It was so natural that you could tell even if you thought about it a little coolly. Yoo Seok-woo must also have realized that he made a mistake.
“This… this!”
“Thank you, Seokwoo. I am grateful to you.”
I wasn’t scared because his hands and feet were already tied up, but I frowned at the fickle, unbecoming scene.
“I’ll kill you! I will kill you!”
“I can say the same.”
To kill or not, I held the reigns.
“What?”
“I am not a good person. Of course, I am a little reluctant to kill people. But… seeing that I entered a place like this, I think I need to experience it at least once. You hear me? Experience.”
“That….”
“Although I like to leave it to others… I can’t borrow someone else’s hand forever, and it’s better to share the original sin.”
“This… this… You are crazy…”
“You are the same. Even if things were a little more twisted, I would have been lying here. Maybe it would be Hayan or Deok-gu.”
I slightly lifted the spear he held in his hand.
“Hyung-ssi,” A little embarrassing voice rang out.
Of course, I had never committed a murder before.
Park Deok-gu seemed to be asking if I could do it. Maybe if he held me back, I would have quit here. It was not that easy to do this.
Of course, the hand with the spear trembled. It was because I felt afraid to kill a human. On one hand, I already made up my mind, but it was quite difficult to implement.
I was different from Hayan, whose personality was a little twisted, or Kim Hyun-sung, who had killed countless numbers of people.
To be honest, I was still a little reluctant.
Nevertheless…
‘Natural Selection.’
I thought it was most reasonable to experience it here anyway.
“Ah, save me.”
“Sorry.”
The hand holding the spear stopped trembling.
“If you don’t want to see it, close your eyes, Deok-gu.”
I didn’t look at Park Deok-gu’s expression. I thought that he would have closed his eyes.
“Ah… Save me!”
In that instant, the spear pierced through his throat. The unpleasant feeling that went through my hands made my body tremble all over.
“Kek… Keck…”
Yoo Seok-woo struggling to speak; nevertheless, his status entered my line of vision. I wanted to turn my head, but I know I couldn’t deny it.
I pulled the trigger, the bullet I fired.
My arms and legs continued to tremble.
It was not the first time I’ve ever seen a person die, but it’s the first time I’ve ever done it myself.
‘I can think of it as the same as Park Hye-young.’
It was true that I killed him too.
No, as a matter of fact, I did kill him. The woman I saw at the start point too, may have been killed by me. I chose to turn away from her when she needed help.
There was no need or reason to panic now. I just had to accept the situation as calmly as I did then. It was necessary because it could not be helped.
It was not easy to see a life silently die, but…
“Lord…”
“Kek… flesh… Ryeo… .”
“Sorry.”
His face was distorted with pain. The damned guy kept trying to speak, and the blood spitting out wasn’t visually pleasing at all.
As time passed, his face became more comfortable.
“Flesh… Ryeo… Um… hemp…”
Eventually, the guy who had looked this way became quiet, and silence began to reign over the place.
“If I can do it… You can do better,” these were the same lines spoken when I first hunted with Park Deok-gu and caught a monster.
Unlike the first time, there was no answer in this situation. Instead, a slightly erratic voice came. From Park Deok-gu’s point of view, now was a good time to speak up and divert my attention.
“Hyung-ssi….”
“…”
“Was he Christian?”
Only
An embarrassing question that doesn’t suit the situation; I laughed and said what I thought.
“There is no such thing as God.”
[A new job has been opened. Please choose the job you think you need.]
“What…? It cannot be.”
Something like this suddenly popping up…
It can’t be.
