383. Master of strategy (4)
Deja vu.
Or should I say déjà vu? At this moment, I was experiencing the phenomenon that everyone has experienced at least once.
Looking at Michael in front of me made me feel as if I had experienced something like this before.
‘…It’s fun.’
no.
In fact it would have been.
I don’t know why, but this is a constitution that easily gets into trouble.
Hasn’t it been like this almost every time I come to Earth or face challengers from Earth?
‘…I can’t believe there are still people who think so lightly about this side.’
At this point, I wonder if I’ve been cursed by some divinity, but…
“….”
There was no time to think deeply about it.
“…Ha ha ha ha ha. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. I think I just misunderstood. Is that correct?”
It’s not different…
Wasn’t the other side not understanding the language at all?
Suddenly, Michael’s face darkened.
I responded lightly with a smile on my lips.
“no. You must have heard it right. I was just wondering if he wanted to die to me purely.”
“…”
In an instant, there was a heavy silence in the hall.
As if he had said something that would not have been possible in a conference room.
And it was the same with several challengers who had been angry with Michael.
Well, it seemed that some of the challengers who knew about me were going to do it sooner or later, but the challengers who didn’t know about me, like Michael, didn’t.
“Huh… you’re joking too much. We are both challengers from the same district, so are you saying that?”
“That’s right. I know that challenger Han Seong-yoon is world number one, but I think I have to keep my face.”
“It’s true… It’s absurd. You’re not a kid, you’re fighting like that? We’re not really going to fight each other anyway. kidding.”
It was worth it.
Still, those who act with common sense because they stay on Earth for a long time in their own way will think that this side is joking too much.
Either that, or a way of suppressing the steamboat that didn’t even work.
But when I heard that, I said it with an even deeper smile on my lips as if I was dumbfounded.
“You’re kidding…”
And then.
“No way.”
next moment.
“Can’t this be a joke?”
In response, I drew out some of the magic in my body so that others could feel it.
Deed-!
In the blink of an eye, he lightly filled the conference room with his body magic.
To make it easier to understand what level this side had, I even showed a part of the level of divinity.
The mana that had been dormant in his body overflowed and caused shallow vibrations throughout the meeting room.
Only then did the faces of those who sarcastically say that I was joking too much or that I was overpowering childlike enthusiasm changed when they heard what I said.
“This is…”
“How on earth can a human being have this much magical power…?”
“What…! How many magical powers do you have to be at the level of a monster like this…!!”
Even though it only made me feel a part of this side’s magic power, there were quite interesting reactions.
“….”
It was no different for Michael.
Suddenly, Michael’s face hardened.
Then, I sprayed the mana in my body thicker and pressed the conference room, then continued.
“I don’t know why you tried to convince me by using your skills.”
“That…”
“Not only that, but I don’t really care what kind of person you are. I don’t even want to know why I’m acting as a captain here.”
“…”
and then.
“Still, you’d better keep this one thing in mind.”
“…”
At that moment, I whispered with a glint in my eyes like that of a predator.
“That if you do that trick on me one more time, it will be perceived as a real want to die.”
As it was, I looked at Michael’s pale face and continued talking as if it were nothing.
“If you keep that one thing in mind, I won’t harm you.”
“…That’s it, I’ll do that—.”
“You don’t even have to answer.”
“….”
At that, I looked straight into Michael’s eyes and smiled.
“No matter what you say, if you go against what I said, I will really kill you.”
…However, this time the answer did not come back.
***
「The achievement ‘Master of Intimidation’ has been achieved」
「All stats increase by 1」
“….”
I frowned at the message that appeared in front of me.
‘A master of intimidation.’
It just seemed like I wanted a fight over there, so I just sorted it out simply.
But to say that this side is a master of intimidation with that…
Somehow, even though I received an achievement reward, I felt resentment.
But that is only for a moment.
‘Is this a slander again?’
At this point, I’m used to it now.
In fact, the tower’s system was slandering me for nothing.
In response, I shook my head as if I was tired of this and sat down in one of the seats in the conference room.
“…”
One, and that for a while.
Before I knew it, I noticed that the eyes of the conference room were focused on this side.
Perhaps, even that Michael drew attention unintentionally in the process of resolving a conflict with a challenger called…
That guess seemed correct as expected.
「The special power ‘Whisper of the Blue Flame’ sends a whisper to challenger Han Seong-
yoon .」
Suddenly, I turned my head to the sound of a laughing voice in my ears.
-That’s why you don’t have a strong feeling, though.
It’s nothing else…
“…”
Katherine Bennett, who was in the conference room, said that with a smile on her face.
‘ah.’
Only then did I notice that the gaze looking this way in the conference room was not so bad.
‘Somehow, all the eyes looking at me don’t seem that bad…’
Except for a small number of people, most of them seemed to like what I had done, even if they were radical.
‘Did I unintentionally get the favor of the other challengers?’
It was worth it.
Perhaps that Michael, pretending to represent the thirty or so challengers, was of the opinion that relatively weak challengers should be spent gathering information…
Considering that, most of the challengers had no choice but to show favor to this side.
In fact, from an outside perspective, as soon as I entered the meeting room, I ignored Michael’s words and created a pretty cool situation.
‘Actually, I wouldn’t have thought of doing this if it weren’t for the other side using my skills and almost threatening me.’
But apart from that, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
‘It’s not specifically intended, but…’
But that’s for a while.
‘Still, if you think about it, it’s a pretty good result.’
As a result, I realized that I could use this situation unexpectedly.
“Come to think of it, they said they sent challengers from Earth to a place in the center of the dark world.”
Didn’t this side want to execute an elite (?) quick assassination in the assassination of the Dark Emperor?
“Foolishly.”
Then this was your chance.
“There is no need to use challengers from Earth like that for such an inefficient task.”
Exactly…
“Take them out immediately.”
The opportunity to clear the dimension cradle < Dark World [E-01] > without wasting time has come.
“What else is that…”
Of course, there is no objection at all.
Michael, sitting at the head of the conference room, frowned and started growling.
As if he had a mission that he had to fulfill, apart from being frightened at seeing this side.
Actually, nothing was different.
“gibberish! At the cost of some of the challengers from Earth, we must find information that will help us assassinate the Dark Emperor! That would be the best action that can be taken for the salvation of the Earth…”
Perhaps that Michael, the challenger, thinks that all the challengers here are shouldering the fate of the earth…
. I will not repeat it.”
Isn’t that something I don’t know?
“I take all responsibility.”
To that, I just calmly told Michael as if it was a final persuasion.
“Take it out.”
and.
“Right Now.”
The moment Michael’s face contorted, those two eyes looked this way.
“…under! responsibility? Who can be held responsible for this?”
For some reason, something like burning desire was wriggling in his eyes.
“This is a competition between dimensions betting each other’s world.”
Michael let out a voice filled with resentment.
“The fate of the Earth is at stake.”
“I know.”
“Do you think you can take that responsibility?”
“yes.”
But I answered without hesitation.
“I think we can take responsibility for more than that.”
“…”
Of course.
This side had already reached the level of an ancient deity and was already protecting the earth by enveloping it in divinity.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that I have been in charge of the fate of the earth for a long time.
“So…”
If so, wouldn’t the answer be fixed?
“Please do as I say.”
and.
“…under. I hope you can take responsibility for those words. I don’t think you can.”
After that, Michael frowned and gave orders to what appeared to be his subordinates.
“…Daniel. Bring back all the challengers who sent out expeditions. Within 10 minutes.”
At that moment, a man named Daniel, who was sitting in one corner of the conference room, nodded and got up from his seat and went outside.
“…Now then, let’s listen. Sungyoon Han. How can you be held responsible for the assassination of this Dark Emperor? Come on.”
Hearing that, I nodded and replied.
“I will step forward and immediately assassinate the Dark Emperor.”
However, the attitude of several challengers, including Michael, seemed to be dissatisfied with the answer.
“…Do you know that even Sachio Michimoto, the Japanese assassin, failed to assassinate the Dark Emperor? With what kind of confidence do you say something like that—”
But I didn’t even listen to Michael, as if I didn’t even need to hear that more.
“Once you see it, you will know.”
“What…”
“Why did I say I could assassinate the Dark Emperor?”
“…”
At this point, the other challengers sitting in the conference room also looked this way as if they were dumbfounded.
Those who knew me, like Catherine Bennett or Sachio Michimoto, looked at me in dubious doubt, but the other challengers did not.
Should I just say that I kept my mouth shut because of the overwhelming amount of magical power that I showed off as soon as I entered the conference room?
It did not seem that this side would succeed in assassinating the Dark Emperor.
“…”
Time passed like that.
After a man called Daniel returns to the meeting room.
As Michael received a report from Daniel, he nodded and spoke to us.
“They said that all challengers from Earth were retrieved from the ecliptic in the center of the Dark World, so let’s take a look.”
Michael spoke in an extremely cold voice.
“How can you solve this situation where the fate of the Earth is at stake.”
It was only then that I saw Michael’s disbelief in his eyes and replied with a smile.
“All right.”
not different.
“If you are curious about how I will assassinate the Dark Emperor, you can follow me.”
This… “The god
of transcendence and death smiles at the challengers from Earth.
”
It was an assassination technique.
