Episode 245:
When the saintess arrived at Yoo Ah-young’s place, she was drinking coffee while looking out the window.
“Did you wait long?”
“It can’t be. “It’s been longer than that, huh?”
Yoo Ah-young smiled and sat down.
“Are you feeling okay? “I heard you battled Kasim Jort a while ago.”
The saint sat in front of her and asked carefully.
Because I know that.
“iced coffee. As you can see, it’s fresh.”
Ayoung answered, showing her hands without a single wound.
“Thank goodness.”
The saintess smiled brightly.
There was a time when Taehyun criticized me for being a psychopath.
Asian player friendly match.
She had become a completely new person after ‘that day’ when she faced Taehyun.
The two people chatted ‘lightly’.
Even if it’s just a chat in a comfortable atmosphere.
High-quality information was exchanged in a friendly atmosphere.
“Then I guess we should get to the point now.”
When the saint suggested that she would like to form a blood alliance with New Korea.
Yoo Ah-young said, putting down the finished coffee on the table.
“Please tell me.”
The saint answered, concentrating on Yoo Ah-young’s next words.
“Miss Yoshikawa Tsurara. “I heard you’re still looking for our ‘baby’?”
“….”
Yoo Ah-young’s tone changed.
No, it wasn’t just the tone of voice that changed.
“Isn’t it more shameless than it looks to be obsessed with someone you don’t like?”
The saint’s body trembled.
This is because Yoo Ah-young’s eyes changed to look like a completely different person than before.
Magical power that I could not contain was leaking out of my body.
‘Are you… looking at me?’
A level of speculation or madness that you can’t help but think like that.
I felt like I was looking at my past self.
“I don’t know what… I’m talking about. “A baby?”
The saintess asked back, trying hard to maintain a poker face.
But Yoo Ah-young was adamant.
“lie. “You have different feelings for our baby, right?”
“….”
The saintess’s face hardened at Yoo Ah-young’s cold attitude.
He recognized that she was sincere.
‘What a crazy bitch…’
She herself was once called a madwoman by someone.
That’s why I knew.
What Yoo Ah-young is showing in front of us is not a tactic for more effective business.
The magic of an S-class advanced player oozing out of his body confirmed that thought.
However, he cannot reveal his temper when he desperately needs help from New Korea.
“I didn’t know you had this side… Who on earth is that baby referring to?…”
“Kim Tae-hyun. “You’re aiming for it, right?”
wee.
The saint’s eyes trembled.
Ayoung did not miss that sight.
“Player Kim Tae-hyun… I’m not someone I can dare do anything about.”
“Hmm, that’s not the answer I was expecting.”
Yoo Ah-young muttered as if he was contemplating something.
“What answer did you expect?”
Yoo Ah-young’s head, which had been tilting, stopped.
“They say a woman knows a woman well. “Do you really think I don’t know what you’re feeling?”
“….”
It was an attitude that made no sense.
Nevertheless.
Sigh.
The corners of the saint’s mouth rose.
I thought I knew what answer she wanted.
Negotiation becomes that much easier once you can read your opponent’s moves.
“This is so… difficult. “I never thought that player Taehyun Kim would have such a dependable person.”
“Look. “Is my feeling right?”
Ayoung smiled and raised her magic power.
Hehehehe.
The equipment placed in the living room began to shake.
It was a power that could turn the entire area into a wasteland at any moment.
“It’s not like this here. “How about making a bet?”
The saint calmly threw the bait.
“Hmm?”
Yoo Ah-young snorted as if asking me to say something.
“We are competing against each other with our hearts toward Taehyun Kim. Of course, it would be a good idea to make an Awakened Pact before that, right?”
Yoo Ah-young’s known strength is that of an S-class advanced player.
It is said that the saintess is not a combat type.
There was an insurmountable wall between S-class advanced players and top-tier players.
‘If I make Yoo Ah-young my person, I can make great use of him.’
The thought of losing was not part of the process in the first place.
It was the same for Ayoung.
“good.”
Ayoung took the bait.
“by the way.”
“Please tell me.”
“you. “Are you feeling weak?”
The saintess’ face frowned at the blatant provocation.
* * *
‘Apostle of Darkness’, ‘Devil’s Saliva’, ‘Energy Compose’, ‘Energy Drain’.
The combination of five skills was reminiscent of a research lab.
Taehyun’s skills accelerated research into vaccine development, and by the time I left Alchemist, four hours had already passed.
Taehyun led his exhausted body and headed to Night Walker.
It was to meet Yoo Ah-young, who had woken up.
“what?”
Contrary to what one might think, it was Jeong Han-soo, not Yoo Ah-young, who was in the guild leader’s room.
When Taehyun asked about Ayoung, Jeong Hansoo looked embarrassed.
“Is something wrong?”
“Whew… let’s sit down first.”
Jeong Han-soo offered a seat and sat across from him.
“To put it bluntly, the guild leader is not there right now.”
“The deputy guild leader is having a hard time.”
Taehyun said casually.
This is because I think Yoo Ah-young’s deviant disease has subsided.
“It’s an aberration… I guess that’s a good thing.”
The expression on Jeong Han-su’s face as he said that was strange.
“…?”
“Player Taehyun Kim. “Can I ask what happened in the labyrinth?”
Labyrinth of Tartarus.
What Jeong Han-soo was asking about was what happened there.
“I don’t know what that means.”
“The story is that the guild leader dealt with Kassim Jort, who infiltrated the association. Did you hear?”
“I heard.”
Thanks to her awakening from unconsciousness and her growth into an SS-level player, she was able to protect Ji Jin-hee from Kassim Zort.
That was all I heard from Go Tae-wook.
Taehyun knew that Yoo Ah-young from his previous life had become an SS-rank player, so it wasn’t a big deal.
‘It’s not that he stepped down, it’s that he stepped down.’
Kassim Jordt has no one he can compete with except Taehyun and Cody Cruz.
Will Asisat Ebi be able to buy some time?
Even if Yoo Ah-young had jumped over the wall, it was not something that a typical SS-level player could face alone.
“If Yoo Ah-young’s guild leader grows, won’t the prestige of the Night Walkers also increase?”
“It’s not wrong, but… more than that, I think people… have changed.”
“People have changed?”
“Or should I say he’s crazy… This is so…” “
…”
Jeong Han-soo looked like he was having trouble explaining how to explain it.
‘Is that true?’
It’s quicker to see it once than to hear it a hundred times.
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young. “Where are you now?”
“Three hours ago. “I headed to Tokyo.”
“What is the purpose?”
“He said he would come and meet the saint.”
As soon as you regain consciousness, you abandon your guild work and head to Japan?
‘It’s not like her.’
It didn’t feel good.
The more I thought about it, the more Rosaria’s words lingered in my head.
“Let me take a look.”
Taehyun said and stood up.
Jeong Han-soo’s expression brightened.
“thank you. “I will prepare the warp gate right away.”
Taehyun left the guild leader’s room and headed to the warp gate zone.
I remembered what Rosaria said.
She clearly said it was a ‘gift’.
And immediately after Yoo Ah-young woke up, he acquired the power equivalent to that of an SS-level player.
What if Kassim Jort did not step down on his own, but was really driven out by Ayoung?
‘No way… probably not.’
Taehyun crossed the prepared warp gate, thinking of a bad hypothesis.
* * *
Tokyo Players Association private sparring room.
There were two women there.
Yoo Ah-young, officially known as an S-class top player, and Yoshikawa Tsurara, registered as Japan’s only S-class top player.
S-Class Upper and S-Class Superlative.
Originally, there should be a gap where the name Dalian cannot be established.
Even if the saint is a non-combat player, the difference in her stats is enormous.
Is that all?
Even if Yoo Ah-young’s skills went crazy, it did not go well with the saint’s ‘ultra-fast regeneration’ and ‘holy revelation’.
Yoo Ah-young’s defeat seemed natural, and in the end, he would have no choice but to fulfill the awakened oath.
The awakened pact the two made was simple.
A significant portion of Night Walker’s shares held by guild leader Yoo Ah-young will be handed over.
And he will become a naturalized Japanese citizen and focus his efforts on reconstruction.
These were two conditions that the saint put forth to Yoo Ah-young for the benefit of her country.
There were also two conditions that Ayeong gave to the saint.
Do not approach Taehyun Kim.
Join the Night Walker guild and follow his instructions.
From the saint’s point of view, it was a ridiculous condition, and she did not assume defeat.
However.
The result was different from what I thought.
Whoops.
The kneeling saint gushed out blood.
Organs that had been broken several times have already begun to regenerate at high speed.
Since Yoo Ah-young was originally active in the field, some level of publicity was expected.
but.
‘I… can’t even lay a hand on you…?’
The saint’s eyes trembled.
“Hmm~ It’s boring as expected.”
“Boring…is…?”
The saint looked at Ayoung, who was looking down at her.
Ayoung’s fishy smile attracted attention.
“It seems like ultra-fast regeneration can’t be used when the mana runs out. “Isn’t there one more skill?”
Ayoung mentioned ‘holy revelation’.
“Don’t regret and do your best.”
Smirk.
Yoo Ah-young said, raising the corners of his mouth as if mocking him.
Quickly.
The saint bit her teeth.
Of course I thought I would win.
I didn’t think it was a big deal.
But only now.
It was recognized how absurd the conditions stipulated in the pledge were.
At this point, it really wasn’t the time to choose between means and methods.
Magic power seethed from the saint’s body.
Tiring.
[Skill Holy Revelation (S) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young. “Obey my words!!”
A pure white light enveloped Yoo Ah-young.
It’s been a while since I used ‘Holy Revelation’, but I felt confident.
‘So far, Taehyun Kim is the only player who has destroyed this skill.’
Everyone except him became her slave.
Of course Yoo Ah-young would do the same.
but.
“As expected of you. “You’re weak, right?”
She shook her body as if nothing was wrong.
“…!!”
“Look Carefully. “This is how power is used.”
Tiring.
[Skill Amazoness’s Spirit (SS) has been activated.]
Let’s wait for a moment for the green magic to surge through Yoo Ah-young’s body.
The saint’s scream echoed throughout the sparring hall.
* * *
“Tsurara is meeting with Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young first. Please wait a moment.”
The secretary who guided Taehyun to the VIP reception room said so.
I know that the two people headed to a private sparring room, but since their bet was unusual, I hid their location for now.
Of course, it was something he could do because he was confident that the saint would not lose.
at that time.
Taehyun sensed unusual magical power.
‘This…’
The magic power that was sufficient for a top S-class player was fading away.
On the other hand, the crushing magical power goes beyond the highest level to SS level.
‘no.’
This is an energy that is not lacking even for SS-rank monsters, beyond SS-rank players.
Before the secretary could stop him, Taehyun got up and stormed out of the living room.
Taehyun is an expert at detecting magical power.
Finding a private sparring room wasn’t difficult.
Kwasik.
The door to the sparring room, which was tightly locked, was broken by Taehyeon’s footsteps.
What he could see was the saintess who had already fainted and her high-speed regeneration was not activated, and Ayeong who was trampling on her head.
“What are you doing here? “Guild leader Yoo Ah-young.”
Taehyun looked at her with calm eyes.
Compared to the saint who was completely injured, there were no traces of battle.
Only the blood splattered on the pure white clothes gave an idea of what had happened a moment ago.
Her eyes turned to Taehyun.
Smirk.
Let the corners of your mouth go up for a moment.
“Oh my. Is our baby here?”
In the eyes of Yoo Ah-young who says that.
There was madness.
