"Sorry... But for their sake, I'll have to kill you!"
That was the last sentence Nara Hyesook said to me before attacking me.
"Wait what's wrong with you?!"
I answered her while trying to defend myself with my bare hands.
"Pitiful, you don't even try to defend yourself!"
CHAPTER 78
"I don't want to beat him against you, because I don't know the reason for your actions"
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe you are confusing me with another person?"
"There's no need to play like that, I'm not mistaking the person."
"Then at least tell me why you want to kill me?"
She then began to move away from me.
"That's right... After all, you're going to die so you can know."
What is she talking about.
"When I was a little girl, I used to have the same dream over and over... That it became a nightmare. This one was about a world that had fallen into apocalyptic chaos, and humans had to participate in challenges like this to keep up."
"How do I know you're telling the truth?"
"How do you think I got to the end of this paycheck?"
"Wait do you mean you were the prophetess?"
"In my nightmare, the main character wasn't explicitly you, but he looks just like you. I wanted to finish this paycheck before you did, because I had more knowledge than you. But you beat me to it. Besides, how did you do it?"
I was still in shock...
"Clearly, you had a premonitory dream?"
"You could say that, yes."
I smiled inwardly, but that smile could also be seen on my face.
This is perfect! She doesn't have more on me. She thinks we are in real life and her premonitory dream has come true.
"Okay, I understand, but that still doesn't answer my question. Why do you want to kill me?"
"I can't tell you unfortunately..."
"Maybe if you told me, I could change. You said it yourself, I was the main character in your dream. That means I can be useful to you."
She began to get angry.
"It doesn't work like that!"
[Notification Log:
- Level 3 dragons have appeared all over the world.
- Kill them]
"What is this?"
"Don't worry about it, we're not concerned. I took you to an area that is not affected by the system"
From Toshiko & Naoki's point of view
"Did you see that Toshiko dragons appeared!"
"Yes and I don't know where Yume is!"
"If that's the way it is, we'll have to face them alone"
[Notification Log:
- You are located on the space "Storm trees"
- You must kill the dragon that belongs to this space.
- If it fails, you lose 6000 Rubys]
"What? What's this gibberish?!"
"Naoki look, the dragon is here!"
This event is not a payoff, just a challenge that the organizers had fun putting on. Certainly, you can't die in this one. But if your number of Rubys drops to zero, you are considered dead in this world.
"And you really think your friends can defeat him without our help?"
"Yume you're here!" Toshiko shouted.
"Yes and he is accompanied by this girl"
"You know how to defeat him." I took out my sword.
Hyesook was surprised at first and then she told me.
"Let's attack him alone first, and at my signal you will join me."
Am I dreaming or is she giving me orders?
I started to attack the dragon with my sword while she distracted him.
I was vastly faster than him, in fact it was a little too easy.
"Don't be so serene, he has a secret boot that will activate in a few moments..."
"So this is the moment?"
"Yes."
I stood next to Hyesook then she also took out her sword.
"What you?"
"Shut up and bring your sword closer to mine"
[Notification Log:

We acted at the same time by attacking the dragon with our merged sword.
It did not last long and died when it received a bolt of lightning from our sword.
