263. God of battle (1)
To be honest, the male challenger’s fight was very welcome.
It was worth it.
It’s easy to deal with what I’ve been through countless times so far…
More than anything, it came to me that I didn’t have to notice more between Catherine Bennet and Lee Ha-yeon, who growled at each other.
really.
‘The topic changes at really lucky timing.’
As he was quietly thinking that he was lucky, he heard a voice in his ear.
“Kuh-kuh….”
It’s nothing else…
“What? You say it’s fun? Hehe! What kind of assholes are there… I’m laughing because I’m dumbfounded.”
The male challenger, who suddenly had a fight, opened his mouth as if in response to what I said.
“A bravado about a guy who doesn’t seem to have any rattlesnake.”
Maybe it’s not the original Hunter, but the challenger of the same difficulty level
.
That was true even considering the other person’s ethnicity was a Westerner.
It was someone I had never seen in the tower or even heard of in the chat window.
But isn’t that the case with others?
“… Erik Challenger. As the president of the association, I warn you. Please refrain from saying anything that could cause a disturbance.”
The middle-aged man in the seat of honor barely said that while breaking out in a cold sweat.
It was as if he was paying attention to the male challenger called Eric.
I never thought the president of the Hunter Association would warn me with such a passive attitude…
Only then did I understand why a challenger named Eric behaved so carelessly.
―Ho… He doesn’t seem very useful. Surprisingly, the evaluation at this district level is good.
For some reason, Eric was highly regarded here.
At least to a degree close to the top ranks among the challengers at the Earth level.
To think that someone who has not properly stored the magical energy in their body is treated so highly.
To be honest, I didn’t understand why everyone was looking at Eric.
‘I can’t feel the divine power, and the level of magic is less than the challengers I saw on the 20th floor.’
Among the challengers I saw recently at the tower, it could be said to be of the lowest quality.
The articles I saw in the common area on the 21st floor were also stronger than that.
That would make a very big difference too.
But…
“The president of the association. don’t be so mean Anyway, that’s a bitter baby will be useless. ”
“But you still have to follow the rules…”
“Ah… that’s really irritating. What are his rules? association president. You know how strong this body is, right?”
“….”
It seemed that such a low-key challenger was rare here.
“Even if the guys gathered in this conference hall attacked with a single truck, it wouldn’t be possible to injure this body, let alone defeat it?”
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to say such things outright.
It was a time when he was observing Eric with interest in his own way.
Suddenly, I felt a surge of magic power in Catherine Bennet’s direction.
“To be shallow. wound? I’m sure it’ll be hard to hurt someone as shallow as you…”
It’s nothing else…
“It’s not just the wounds, it’s going to burn the whole of that vulgar body.”
Katherine Bennett’s face was contorted with anger.
It’s also very serious.
However, it was not so different from Lee Ha-yeon’s side.
She glared at Eric with her hands clenched tightly, then smirked.
“Do you think I can win by myself even if everyone doesn’t gather together?”
It was as if if he said even one more word like this, it would turn into a real fight.
In fact, Catherine Bennett and Lee Ha-yeon had feelings close to murder.
And the other challengers in the meeting room also reacted quite loudly, if not as much as they did.
“That… it sounds a bit harsh to hear it? Eric. Why do I have to say it so casually?”
“So. what the. All the challengers gathered here look like idiots. I’m dumbfounded.”
“Hey there. Don’t talk to me, stay as you are. It’s no fun if you’re unlucky like that.”
It was worth it.
Eric’s behavior is turning the challengers here into enemies.
However, Eric did not abandon his arrogant attitude.
He looked around the meeting room once and said with a smile.
“The president of the association? I get it, I get it. I will refrain from saying anything that could cause a riot. But before that, I have something to suggest.”
“It’s a proposal. What else is that…”
“I told you. The guys here are useless. I’ll prove it here, so give me all the rewards you give them.”
“No, that’s-”
“And a special reward for that kid who’s the first in the rankings and flirts with it.”
and.
“Because they are like climbers. Keep an eye on it. This is the 6th place on the 19th floor… the world’s best power.”
Eric, who dared to use the word world’s best, immediately released his magic.
Deed…!!
In the blink of an eye, the moment when the mana that surged from his body began to pressurize the conference room.
All the challengers clenched their teeth as if it was difficult even to sit down.
Some even fell to the floor without being able to stay seated at all.
Seeing this, Eric laughed out loud as if he was having the most fun.
“Kuhuhhh…! what is everyone? huh? Did you talk so much about a topic that you can’t stand even this?”
A sneer formed on Eric’s lips.
“How bugs are messing around without knowing the subject.”
and.
“I don’t think you have the skills to talk like that either.”
I said that while looking at Eric in an emotionless voice.
“…her? Were you still holding on without falling down? what the. Enduring needlessly.”
It seems that I still haven’t been able to figure out the situation…
but it didn’t matter.
I made up my mind when I told the president of the association that I would have the compensation I should have.
I think I need to use a little bit of strength to a guy who boasts with his skills.
“Now hold on moderately and hit your head on the floor…”
And then.
「Divine < Words > are used.」
「You can use your holy power to influence the real world with words.」 「
However, a lot of holy power is consumed when you use words that interfere with the laws of the world.」
《 Uselessly force Do not use it and lie down on the floor and sigh. 》
Next moment.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Just like that, Eric’s body slammed downward as if breaking the floor of the meeting room.
***
All of a sudden, the mana that spread throughout the conference hall disappeared.
It was worth it.
The power of the divine < Spirit > is not something that a challenger without divine power can withstand.
He didn’t bother using divine authority to prevent
him from using his power.
‘…I didn’t allow him to use his power at all, but for that kind of thing, the consumption of divine power is small.’
Still, a certain amount of divinity was assumed, but…
Is Eric’s skill worse than I thought?
Surprisingly, the power consumption that went into making him unable to use any power and slamming him to the floor was not large.
However, despite the low consumption of power, I liked the results.
“this…! doggish…! Turn it off…! You son of a bitch! Won’t you release this!?”
Eric’s face was flushed red and he was swaying with his head on the floor.
A state in which the body is forcibly held by the divine < Soul Spirit >.
So it wasn’t strange that he had his head on the floor of the meeting room and was wriggling like that.
Perhaps other challengers are no different, as long as they don’t become an apostle of some godhead.
“Ah ah ah ah! This shitaaaaa! you are you! You son of a bitch hee hee hee…!!”
So, I wasn’t very impressed.
‘There’s no way a challenger can resist the divine command.’
But…
“What else is that…! You made Eric like that with just one word…?”
“Amazing. … Is this the best challenger on Earth? her. It’s amazing.”
“It’s amazing. I didn’t expect to defeat a challenger on the 19th floor with a single word.”
All the challengers in the conference room looked at me with sparkling eyes.
It feels like suddenly and unintentionally becoming a star.
At that, I glanced at Eric, who was banging his head on the floor, and turned my head.
It’s nothing else…
“The president of the association.”
She turned her attention to the president of the association, who had been embarrassed by Eric before.
Looking at the middle-aged president of the association who was sitting at the top table, I said calmly.
“It looks like there are a lot of challengers now, so wouldn’t it be okay to start a meeting?”
“…Ah yes. I think it will be fine though. First of all, challenger Eric—”
“no. that seems hard You never know when Eric’s challenger will use his strength again.”
“….”
Did Eric catch some kind of weakness?
The head of the association kept glancing at Eric, who was restless, hoping that he would release him.
But I had no intention of listening to it.
That would be the case…
“Challenger Eric tried to harm the challenger here.”
He was trying to harm those here.
Just because I don’t like the fact that I’m at the top of the rankings.
And because of that, Katherine Bennett and Lee Ha-yeon were under great pressure.
At least I had no intention of releasing him here.
“That’s…”
“And the president of the association was just watching it. But are you saying we have to free Eric Challenger?”
“But, to resolve the current situation, Challenger Eric’s cooperation is indispensable…” “
No. You don’t need that. Eric’s challenger’s strength isn’t that great.”
To that, I quietly looked into the eyes of the president of the Association and said.
“If there is anything he needs to do in the current situation, I will take care of it.”
As Eric said he would take the payoff that would be given to me.
“If you promise to give me the pay you owe him.”
Now I thought of taking everything he was given.
“So, can you proceed with the meeting as it is?”
very strong too.
***
Surprisingly, the situation did not become more annoying and was easily organized.
“Ha, I will follow the will of challenger Han Seong-yoon. I will rule out challenger Eric…”
The president of the association, who was sitting in the top seat, answered that, breaking into a cold sweat.
“I will give all the rewards that should have been given to challenger Eric to challenger Sungyoon Han.”
It’s as if you’ve done it this far and now you want to see it.
Now it seems that the other side has realized who the really strong one is.
But there were also things I didn’t like.
It’s nothing else…
‘Why don’t you say anything to challengers like Catherine Bennett or Lee Ha-yeon?’
It was so that he spoke with utter exclusion about other challengers.
Honestly, I don’t care what the others are anyway…
I thought Catherine Bennett and Lee Ha-yeon should at least be given a reward.
So, without hesitation, I told him exactly what was in my head.
“By the way, aren’t there any rewards for the other challengers?”
“yes…?”
“Didn’t you protect Eric’s challenger to the extent that you could see it with your own eyes?”
“…”
“Then I think the people here should be held accountable.”
“That too… I’ll accept it… Yes…”
“Okay.”
This too could have been neatly accepted.
“And I have something else to tell you…”
I smiled contentedly at him and then went straight to the point.
“I’m a little dizzy, probably because of Eric Challenger’s magical power.”
“Ah yes! In that case, bring the best potions from us right away…” ”
But I think it would be better to drink a special potion for this.”
“yes…?”
It’s nothing different…
“Random stat boost potion, designated stat boost potion, skill proficiency boost potion, etc…” “
….”
“I think you should drink these special potions from the tower to relieve your headache. ”
“Ah uh…”
After the fight is over, isn’t it standard to get paid (?).
“If you give me the medicine as soon as possible, I will be grateful.”
