Episode 83
Tetsu, a member of Samrodu.
He politely led us to the room where Xu Xin had been prepared.
Grumble.
"welcome. Mr. Xushin."
"Mr. Xu Xin. "I was waiting."
"Ho ho ho. "It is an honor to be able to host the national power class."
As soon as the door opens, women in colorful costumes bow their heads.
These were some of the best courtesans in Japan selected by Tetsu to entertain Xu Shin.
However.
The moment when magical power seemed to gather in Xu Xin's hands.
Suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly.
The scythe was created in an instant and cut off the heads of the monks.
dump. dump. dump. dump.
Degurrrrr.
There was no screaming.
Because he died before he even realized what had happened to him.
"It's a little quieter now."
"… … ."
"Tetsu. Have you lost your senses? "Take me to another room."
"… All right."
After a while.
At the new location, three demons and one player faced each other.
Xu Xin, the Chinese national team player, is called a god of incredible strength.
And there were two people, Tetsu Samrodu, who ruled Japan's underworld, and his bodyguard, a high-ranking S-class demon.
A national power level player and an underworld demon are in one place.
If someone had heard this, they would have dismissed it as nonsense, but it was actually happening.
"I'll tell you straight. "I would like to ask Mr. Xushin for a favor."
Tetsu, who had seen with his own eyes that Xu Xin was not in a good mood a moment ago, bowed his head and said.
"You know I'm in the middle of a friendly match. "But is it a 'favor' to invite me to a place like this?"
Tetsu exhaled at those cold words.
He knew that no matter what he said now, Xu Xin would take it crookedly.
He decided to compete from the beginning.
"I also know that you have already eliminated two people who were interfering with that friendly match."
"It looks like you want to die."
A fact no one should know.
Xushin released his power towards Tetsu, who mentioned that fact.
Coo coo coo coo.
The building shook just by releasing magical power.
Two men stood behind Tetsu due to that force.
The two demons, equivalent to the upper level of S-class players, flinched.
The idea is to shake a building simply by releasing magical energy.
It was a level that even Japan's leading magicians could not dare to imitate.
gulp.
'This is the S-class top player.'
'We are no match for him.'
This is when the two demons watch out for Xu Xin's next move and prepare to activate the skill.
"You guys stay out."
Tetsu opened his mouth quietly.
"But… ."
"boss… ."
"Anyway, if Lord Rest wants it, we are all dead. "Please wait outside for instructions."
Tetsu had already made up his mind.
The two escorts gritted their teeth and walked away.
"Kkkkkk… Tetsu. "But it looks like your head is still spinning."
"Mr. Xu Xin. Please forgive my negligence. However, there is a reason why I cannot leave."
"Speak."
"Recently, a fly caught me."
"A fly? "Is there someone in Japan who would threaten your life?"
A secret place that cannot be reached except through a specific warp gate.
Moreover, they are guarded by S-class demons that cannot be overpowered unless they are national power class.
Someone who poses a threat to Samrodu.
It was natural for Xu Xin to be curious.
"You know Xu Xin. New Korea player Kim Tae-hyun. "This is the guy who is running wild without knowing the topic of this friendly match."
"Tsk… Sigh… Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… ."
Xu Xin shook his shoulders at the unexpected answer.
The prey you are aiming for.
Because I had no idea that that name would come out of Tetsu's mouth.
"Because?"
"Taehyun Kim. His skills are known to the outside world as an S-class advanced player. However, considering that he is a growth-oriented awakener, his current skills are... ."
"It's at the national power level? "Like me?"
"I think so."
"Khahahaha."
Xu Xin finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Samrodu Tetsu of Japan.
If he, who had a strong information network, made that judgment, it had to be certain.
No, in the first place, what he shows in this friendly match is a boldness that only someone who has reached the highest level of S class can show.
Xu Xin had chosen that guy as his next prey.
Xu Xin's muscles, which had been calm even after seeing the woman, bulged.
excitement. And pleasure.
'You took the bait.'
Tetsu, who thought his story was working, continued.
"It is believed that Kim Tae-hyun's actions are the main reason why China is currently in second place in the friendly match. "If he disappears, Xu Xin's future schedule will be much easier."
"So you're asking me to catch Kim Tae-hyun? "In the end, you contacted me to take advantage of me."
"Mr. Xu Xin. I also know to some extent what the Greater China Players Association is planning for this friendly match. Winning is just a smokescreen. In the process, the plan is to remove Taiwan and Hong Kong and then proceed with absorption and unification.
Up to this point, this was something that many people had expected.
"furthermore."
Tetsu paused for a moment and looked straight into Xu Xin's eyes.
"In the near future. "It is also about trying to absorb Japan and New Korea."
"Kkkkkk… "You know too much."
Although Xu Xin was impressed by Tetsu's intelligence, he quietly exuded his will.
It is said that the Triad Association is a union of demons from three countries.
Tetsu's nationality is Japanese.
There would be no good news if the current information went to the Japan Players Association and the New Korea Players Association.
'Should I handle it here?'
Isn't it a task to deal with it?
Responsibility for any resulting actions must be taken solely by oneself.
It was time for Xu Xin to think for a long time.
dump.
Tetsu, who was observing the atmosphere, suddenly made a gesture.
"Tetsu, a member of the Three Roads! If you can help!! From now on, I will dedicate my entire body to helping you so that you can stand at the top!!!"
Seeing that, Xu Xin raised the corners of his mouth.
"dare. "Do you think I need help like you?"
"National power players Zhang Linfeng and Tsai Mingmin who participated in this friendly match together."
"… … !!"
"I understand that you two are in competition. This is a fact known not only by people on the continent but also around the world."
"… … ?"
"We will do our best as a triad to help you become the best in the world in the future."
Even Xu Xin could not help but be surprised at those words as he bowed his head once again.
The Triad is the best of the mine cartels operating in Asia.
Contrary to what they say, their wealth and information network were not something that even China could look down on.
However, Xu Xin did not agree easily.
"I already have the greatest power. "What can you give me?"
Is it because he thought he took the bait?
Tetsu smiled at Xu Xin's words.
"The first legendary grade item recently produced by the World Players Association. "Not long ago, the items made with it were stolen."
"no way… ."
"yes. "I will offer the second legendary grade item to Lord Rest."
"… … !!"
"also. We will take down those who are opposing the Triad so that Xu Shin can play an active part in this friendly match. This really is the best of both worlds. "Wouldn't it be like killing two birds with one stone?"
There was nothing to worry about anymore.
Xu Xin burst out laughing with joy like never before.
"Ha ha ha ha ha. You must have been impatient. "Seeing how scared they are even though they are hiding in this secret place."
"There is nothing more precious than life."
"good night. I agree... ."
The moment when Xu Xin is about to accept Tetsu's proposal.
Kugugoogung.
The building shook.
'earthquake? No, this is… .'
It was a power similar to the magical power he had unleashed a moment ago.
At the same time, the escort who had been waiting outside entered the room.
"boss. "It's an attack!!"
"You need to leave!!"
"It's an attack… !! Who on earth would find this place!!!"
Tetsu is busy shouting as if this is nonsense.
Screams echoed throughout the building.
Suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly.
'fast.'
A presence was detected approaching Xu Xin's energy at an incredible speed.
Has 10 seconds passed?
"Reveal yourself."
Xu Xin spoke coldly toward the attackers beyond the door.
at that time.
Kugugoogung.
The force that made the building shake took effect once again.
This time, it was a force that weighed down the entire hideout of Samrodu Tetsu.
"Ugh… ."
"This power… ."
"Sigh… nation… power… ?"
The three demons gasped under the pressure of magical power.
Xu Xin also had a hard expression.
Although, unlike them, it can withstand magical power.
Clearly a power similar to his own.
There was no time to act in front of him.
'What kind of guy has this much power... .'
It was the moment when Xu Xin could not contain his curiosity and was about to open the door.
Sigh.
Quietly, with a mocking sound.
The door opened.
"The main dish. "Everyone gathered here."
"… … !!"
"You, you… !!"
"how… !!"
Tiring.
[Strengthens the skill Knight King's spirit (B). Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Kugugugugugung.
Taehyun activated the skill with a satisfied expression.
* * *
The building began to shake as if it would collapse at any moment.
And he observed the way the man who was providing the cause was looking at him.
Tetsu Samrodu, who dominates the Japanese branch of the Triad Association.
There are two S-class high-ranking demons guarding him.
Up to this point, it was according to the information obtained from Kenji Miyazaki.
but.
'That guy... ?'
Taehyun frowned at the familiar face.
Xu Xin, China's national power player.
Like Taehyun, he is in a friendly match.
It was natural that I didn't think it would be here.
'Is that guy also here to catch Samrodu?'
When Taehyun tilts his head.
It was Xu Xin who moved first.
"dare… !!"
Before he knew it, the black sickle in his hand was swinging towards Taehyun.
It was Xu Xin's S-rank skill 'Death Side'.
Huh.
Black magical energy passed by the spot that Taehyun instinctively avoided.
Kiiiiig.
The building began to tilt just like the cut surface.
Suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly.
Xu Xin, who had shaken off the 'Knight King's spirit', swung his scythe continuously.
"Taehyun Kim. "Your arrogance is sky-high."
It is not difficult to detect malice.
Xu Xin was clearly displaying malicious intent toward Taehyeon.
"Shushin. "Can we say that the attack just now was part of the same attack as those guys?"
"Kkkk!! "I'll take an arm and then listen!!!"
Xu Xin strongly swung the sickle held with both hands.
Boom!!
Cutting power was added to the incredible strength.
Suddenly.
That's it.
The building started to collapse.
'If you get cut, it's over.'
Taehyun, who had retreated from a distance, held both the Talisman and Aslan in reverse.
"Hoo. 'Do you want to try it?'
"Someone said so. "Some injuries are inevitable in friendly matches."
Tiring.
[Skill Stone Skin (B) has been activated.]
[Skill Stealth (B) has been activated.]
Ssssssut.
The moment when Taehyun's body seemed to have disappeared.
Phew.
He stabbed the talisman into Xu Xin's back.
