Hyeon Gyu-ha's expression wavered for the first time. He understood the meaning of the words and was shocked, then doubted his own ears, then murderous intent, then murderous intent again.
"It doesn't matter who told you that or how you know ®AÇ right now. Why are you bringing Yoo-shin-ssi into this?!"
As his emotions grew more intense, ripples spread through the air and the pavement on the ground shook.
That kind of thing. That kind of thing. Gong Tae-seong smiled bitterly as he repeated his words. The lifelong wish of being able to give up everything was just 'that kind of thing' to someone.
"Yeah, that's it. If you wanted to make him lose his senses completely by causing blood to rush to his head, you should have killed him instead of just cutting off contact with Inyushin."
It was a shallow provocation. If he had been the usual Hyeon Gyu-ha, he would have ignored it rather than falling for it.
But the person Gong Tae-seong brought up was In Yoo-shin.
“……”
The emotion disappeared from Hyeon Gyu-ha’s face. The moment he stomped his foot, a black shadow rushed in like lightning and reached right in front of Gong Tae-seong. Gong Tae-seong snapped his fingers. Flames shot up and a blade emerged from the gap and aimed at Hyeon Gyu-ha.
- What?
"You know that restaurant Il Tramonto? There, Papa and Gyu-ha got into a light fight and the glass window broke, the wall was broken, and the interior was destroyed, that's how it ended."
- what?!
"I'd like to rule it as a gas explosion or something, but the commotion is bigger than I thought, so I think it'll be difficult. Oh, I don't know why Papa made such a fuss in the middle of the city. Since he already lured Gyu-ha here, I wish he went to a quiet place."
- So where is the guild leader now!
"Beom doesn’t know."
- hey!
"I think there must have been a lot of eyewitness accounts by now. Since Gyu-ha came in from outside, there might have been someone who took a picture with their phone. You do a good job of handling the situation. I'll just trust you."
- No, wait! How can I resolve this when I don't even know why they fought?! Are you sure they're still fighting?!
"Beom doesn’t know."
- Hey! Hey! Jang Beom!
"I'm hungry. I have to go eat, so I'll hang up now."
- Hey, you little shit! Aren't you going to speak properly?! Are you a hunter?
"Uhuh, Jun-su. I love you too."
Jang Beom, who had kissed Han Jun-su while making a squeaky sound while hearing his loud swearing, took out the hands-free. Then, he immediately turned off the phone that was calling again.
"When I go back, Jun-su will probably try to rip my head off and kill me. He used to be cute, but he's getting more and more like Papa, and his temper is becoming a pain in the ass. Is he going through puberty at 35?"
Jang Beom grumbled but steadily held the steering wheel. In Yoo-shin looked out the window anxiously. The roads were heavily congested because it was rush hour.
"Can't you go any faster? Gyu-ha-ssi even lifts and moves cars, you know."
"Don't you have a conscience? How can you compare me, a weakling, to a monster that became an S-class at the age of 14? I can lift a car, but I can't carry it far like a dog."
"Which dungeon is it?"
“Paju.”
"......Is this by any chance Mt. Gamaksan?"
“No, downtown.”
At the words that it wasn’t Mt. Gamaksan, In Yooshin unconsciously sighed and held the pouch containing 8-se tightly with both hands. I didn’t think that Hyeon Gyu-ha would lose, but the words “Gamaksan dungeon” were endlessly ominous.
"Is the guild leader really trying to kill Gyu-ha-ssi?"
"Oh, that's right."
"......Why? Even though I don't get along well with Gyu-ha-ssi, we don't hold any grudges against each other."
"I don't know either."
“……”
"I'm not trying to be vague, I really don't know. The road is really blocked."
Jang Beom continued speaking, tapping the steering wheel with his fingers.
"There's no reason to bother asking. Papa gives orders and I follow. That's it. Okay?"
"But you're just sitting there, not knowing why, even though the guild leader is going to die?"
"Hey, Yoo-shin-ah. Are you sure that Gyu-ha will definitely win?"
"Yes."
Jang Beom laughed out loud at the unwavering answer.
"Don't ignore our Papa too much. He even started a guild with his bare body and has been around longer than Gyu-ha."
"Gyu-ha-ssi is even more amazing."
"Yeah, yeah. You're right."
He responded in a childish tone and did not say anything more, but only looked ahead. In Yoo-shin also suppressed his anxious feelings and anxiously checked Hyeon Gyu-ha’s status window. I didn’t think Hyeon Gyu-ha would lose at all, but why was I anxious? What.
The roads were still busy.
Hyeon Gyu-ha has neither favor nor affection for Gong Tae-seong.
Gong Tae-seong felt uncomfortable with Min Geut-nyeo being friendly with Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had killed numerous people including Chairman Min and Kang Seok-woo, and he did not hide his feelings. Hyeon Gyu-ha was not a kind person who would return favors to someone who was reluctant to accept him, so the relationship between the two was maintained with an appropriate amount of distance.
The relationship that had been like that changed the year before last. Gong Tae-seong tried to recruit him to the guild without hiding the fact that his eyes clearly had other intentions, but Hyeon Gyu-ha repeatedly rejected him outright. Things quickly got worse.
‘Now that I think about it, it kind of overlaps with when I went to Hoeryeong.'
What happened in Hoeryong can be found out by torturing Gong Tae-seong. Even if you cut off his limbs, you can still have his mouth. And in fact, I wasn't that curious. My curiosity was trivial compared to my anger of him using In Yoo-shin.
‘But to some extent, it is also a problem related to Yoo-shin-ssi.'
At the very least, I had to find out why he had shown interest in In Yoo-shin and why his notifications were being displayed on In Yoo-shin's status screen. If anything was harmful to In Yoo-shin, I had to get rid of it all.
Before I went to Iad.
'There are two keys left.’
Hyeon Gyu-ha unconsciously bit his lip. The number of keys remaining is the same as the time remaining.
Slowly, he was tidying up his surroundings. He didn’t know how many years or days he had left, but when that time came, he wanted to make sure that In Yoo-shin had nothing to lose. His own assets, while insignificant in value, would be better than nothing.
It's the same with the Gong Tae-seong problem.
After figuring out his intentions....... Min Geut-nyeo and Min Anna's faces came to mind, but I shook them off.
In conclusion, Hyeon Gyu-ha decided that he should just kill him. In any case, from the moment he provoked In Yoo-shin, his treatment was already decided.
However, even for Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had decided to kill Gong Tae-seong, he was not an easy opponent.
Just by hitting the floor with the tip of his foot, white flames spread out like snakes and opened their mouths, and swords wrapped in flames aimed for vital points from every angle. The extraordinary abilities of both offense and defense, which could be skillfully used at both long-distance and close range, dazzled the surroundings. Nine layers of walls collapsed and the flowers in the garden were set ablaze.
But that's not a problem.
‘It doesn't matter to me whether it's long distance or short distance.'
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been furious at the thought of him using In Yoo-shin, became calm as he entered the battle. Hyeon Gyu-ha jumped forward, cutting down the incoming fireballs with the Sign Chamsageom sword he held in his right hand, but a sword covered in flames blocked his path.
The cold sound of swords clashing with each other tore at his ears. Gong Tae-seong’s feet, which were freely applying force to the attacks as if he were standing on the ground despite being floating in the air, were gradually pushed back.
Hyeon Gyu-ha scoffed inwardly. Gong Tae-seong is already being pushed? No way, he's just luring me. I don't care about the obvious tricks. No matter what tricks he uses to lure me, I'll just have to trample on them all.
Before they knew it, the two had passed the entrance to the dungeon and entered inside. Tall, majestic pavilions built in layers greeted them. The dungeon recognized the living beings and created demons, but neither of them paid any attention to it.
Hyeon Gyu-ha nodded while lowering the Sign Chamsageom sword.
“Try it.”
"hmm?"
“There must be traps or something prepared. I’ll destroy them all and cut your throat, so do it.”
Gong Tae-seong smiled brightly.
"If you let your guard down and become complacent, I'll be grateful. I'm not in a position to be picky about the means."
"You've done everything you could to get through this, but you're going to get beaten up so badly. Then you'll bitterly regret not messing with Yoo-shin-ssi."
"Didn't Dr. Kang Seok-woo teach you that you can't tell what's long and short until you measure it?"
The name of one person who was deliberately brought out brought a ferocious smile to Hyeon Gyu-ha's lips.
"Okay, it's decided. Noona Geut-nyeo won't be able to find your body and you'll have to have a funeral with an empty coffin."
“You don’t even have anyone to hold your funeral.”
With those words, Gong Tae-seong took out a scroll from the inventory and tore it. Hyeon Gyu-ha’s eyebrows twitched. The skill that Gong Tae-seong was able to use for a limited time by tearing the scroll was something he was very familiar with. It was pyrokinesis.
The monsters were rushing in, screaming, but Gong Tae-seong paid no attention and opened the inventory wide. Hyeon Gyu-ha instinctively felt that since his unique ability was pyrokinesis, he would probably be planning to fire weapons covered in flames from the inventory, just like he sometimes used.
It was a guess that was half right and half wrong.
In the inventory, things that had been filled in advance were quickly ejected. Hyeon Gyu-ha quickly wrapped himself around a force field and assessed the situation.
Did you use the invisibility skill in advance? If so, is it a weapon? No. Hyeon Gyu-ha knows better than anyone the sound or the presence of a weapon cutting through the air. This wasn't the presence of a long weapon. A secret weapon? No, it was much smaller than that, so much so that it couldn't be seen with the naked eye......
“……!”
The thought was long, but in reality, not even a second had passed. When Hyeon Gyu-ha realized what the ejected things were, a huge explosion of white flame shook the axis of the dungeon.
