"You're releasing my sister…" … "What do you want?"
[First of all, is it okay if I come in and talk to you?]
Seong Ji-han nods his head.
Sigh.
Immediately, the owner of the arena appeared before my eyes.
The opponent wore a neat suit and a black fedora.
Just like last time, the face was still in the shape of the universe.
Even as Seong Ji-han, who has become stronger than before, he is an opponent whom he cannot dare to measure his limits.
'It can't be compared to Longinus.'
Even if we look at it based on the constellation that was just defeated, Longinus.
The owner of the arena boasted strength of a different order.
At this level, it is at the level of a great constellation.
When Seong Ji-han was thinking that while looking at the person in front of him.
The owner of the arena spoke up.
"I enjoyed the battle with the Constellation this time. "I was impressed by the appropriate use of the World Tree Alliance's void processing plant."
"Did you see the fight?"
"yes. "I was able to watch because the void processing plant was used."
Shoooooo… … .
A white half-mask appears with those words.
The owner of the arena tapped the mask that covered half of his face, the universe.
"The Void Disposal Plant is an invention of the World Tree Alliance and, by extension, Yggdrasil, to avoid death. This is quite effective, and we are having a hard time watching the World Tree Alliance from the void."
"Is the void processing plant that big?"
"yes. We are responding in our own way, but the World Tree Alliance is also developing a void processing plant every time. In particular, the recently built void disposal plant was having a hard time because it could not leak to the outside... … "Rookie got it this time."
Seong Ji-han said those words and took out a half-mask from his inventory.
"In the end, this is what is being traded."
"That's right. There."
Sigh.
The owner of the arena turned his gaze to the window.
"If you hand over the 'code medium', I will release the Void Witch. "In his original human form, untainted by the void."
"Code vector?"
"yes."
"The system said it was a blood relative window. "You call it different."
"It is the spear of blood relatives. I guess that's what Gilgamesh named it… … ."
Flashing.
The white star in the universe, which serves as the arena's eyes, quickly turned purple.
Then, a terrifying void bloomed within it.
Although the color of his eyes simply changed, the owner of the arena was radiating overwhelming power.
[The owner of the arena… … When I once heard a rumor that he had power comparable to that of the Great Constellation, I thought it was nonsense. The rumor was true.]
The Shadow Queen evaluates the power of the owner of the Arena as being at the level of a great constellation.
'The higher you go on Battle.net, the stronger you become.'
Seong Ji-han thought so and opened his mouth.
"Stop bragging about your strength. "What happened in the past that led you to hand this medium over to Gilgamesh?"
"I can't go into detail about it… … Since Ruki is the current master of the medium, he cannot be said to be completely unrelated. "I will give you as much information as possible."
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The face of the owner of the arena changed, and a screen appeared.
What emerged from there was planet Earth.
"Planet Earth is a place full of potential for life to sprout. In these places, the World Tree Association often plants world trees. This was the case with Earth as well."
"I heard that story from a high elf. "It is said that the World Tree Elf experiment director dispatched to Earth had an accident that fused himself with Earth's World Tree."
The Go Elves were unable to enter the world because experiments had already been carried out.
After his death, the general manager who met at the loan window told Seong Ji-han about what happened at that time.
An investigation team from the Federation, enraged by the accident that touched the world tree, was dispatched to Earth, but they disappeared, leaving only a message that an express error had occurred.
"her… … "They say it was an accident?"
The owner of the arena, who heard Seong Ji-han's story, listened to the story told by the general manager and
"We understood that this was a 100% joint effort."
"The World Tree Alliance intended it?"
"yes. "As a result of an experiment, an entity that could not be controlled by one's own hands emerged, so they asked for our help."
The screen changes.
Inside, a giant with a strange combination of tree and body appeared.
"This being. "We called them the Wood God Tribe."
"Woojin tribe… … ."
"yes. These were beings who deserved to be restricted by the Void. Nevertheless, how did they know the Void's internal policies so well? They used cunning methods to avoid our regulations. Direct intervention on our part was not possible. So I decided to intervene indirectly, through a proxy."
"Representative… … Could it be that he was Gilgamesh?"
"yes."
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The appearance of the Faun tribe disappeared from the screen, and Gilgamesh's face was revealed instead.
"He received the blessings of the Void and World Tree alliances and waged a long war against the Wood God tribe. The code medium you have, the stuff I gave him... … It was the only means to completely annihilate the Wood God race, which possessed immortal regenerative powers. And when the work was done, of course, it was something to be returned to me."
"But you didn't return it?"
"yes. Gilgamesh broke not only his promise to me, but also all his promises to the World Tree Alliance. And then, the god of war appeared... … ."
Swish. Swish.
Seong Ji-han looked at the blood relative's spear.
A code medium that allows you to write destruction code and send it from a distance.
'It's a shame to return it.'
Writing code in close proximity, stitch by stitch.
The difference between throwing a javelin from a distance was like heaven and earth in terms of effectiveness.
If my sister wasn't the subject of the transaction, I would never have given it to her.
but.
'If the other person is my sister, there is nothing I can do.'
The first thing I had to take care of before these two items was my family.
"good night. "Let's make a deal."
"Well thought out."
"Instead, you take your sister back first."
"Let me first…" … "You mean?"
"okay. "If you receive the goods and disappear, there's nothing I can do, right?"
"I am the 'master of the arena.' "I can swear on the arena that that won't happen."
"it's okay. "There's no need for such an oath, so give it back to me first."
"… … ."
The owner of the arena remains silent for a moment in response to Seong Ji-han's words.
The Shadow Queen whispered softly to Seong Ji-han.
[The owner of the arena even took an oath. Isn't that being too dismissive? If he were the owner of the arena, he would be in the top 20 in the void.]
'What will you do if the 20th ranked powerhouse stands out?'
[that… … .]
'It's actually easier to scam people because they are strong.'
Although Seong Ji-han hasn't been on Battle.net for a long time.
What I felt while I was there was, 'There is no one I can trust in this world.'
"… … great. "Then I'll give it back to you right away."
And the owner of the arena, who saw Seong Ji-han's stubborn attitude, readily accepted his offer.
"'Lord of the Abyss'."
Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch… … !
A cloud of emptiness creeps up from the floor of the training hall.
The energy contained within it was enormous, comparable to that which flowed when half-masked.
And, a red portal slowly opens in the fog.
The owner of the arena reached into it and slowly stretched out his hand.
"As a superior, I give this order. Please hand me the Void Witch."
Is the Arena definitely a higher level person than the owner of the Abyss?
Seong Ji-han thought so and waited for his older sister, Seong Ji-ah, to come out of the red portal.
but.
[hate.]
Inside, an unexpected answer flowed out.
* * *
"… … "What did you say just now?"
[I said no.]
"Are you going to disobey your superior's orders?"
The owner of the arena, who had always been polite, spoke informally for the first time.
And, what is scarier than speaking informally is the energy he exudes.
The space inside the Void Training Ground.
It was distorted by the void emitted by the owner of the arena.
[It looks like he poured oil on you because you were angry because you ignored your oath earlier. The owner of the arena... … It's an incredible power. It's worth operating the arena without any problems.]
'hey. Am I right? 'On Battle.net, you always have to pay in advance.'
[Wow. I can't deny it in this case... … .]
When Seong Ji-han was talking to the Shadow Queen like that.
[Yes. I refuse to obey.]
Kurrrrrr… … !
The empty training ground collapses at those words.
The owner of the arena was radiating a sinister energy.
Sigh.
I turned my head towards the sacred site.
A crescent moon that resembles a star with one or two eyes and a mouth.
However, the current crescent moon was twisted here and there and bent strangely.
"for a moment. Could you please wait? "I will destroy the Abyss myself and take it out."
Although he was the owner of the arena, he suppressed his anger and treated Seong Ji-han with respect.
[If you attack, I will eat the Void Witch.]
"You bastard!"
When the owner of the Abyss said that in the portal, he expressed anger.
"We will come after suppressing the underworld. Please wait a moment... … ."
Shoo!
Saying so, the owner of the arena slipped into the portal.
The red portal repeatedly grew bigger and smaller.
Phew! Phew!
The energy of emptiness emanated from within.
[I thought I would be subdued in one hit... … You must have some talent.]
"Then I might fail."
Seong Ji-han looked towards the portal and twisted the code medium.
Rather than waiting endlessly, I decided to test the window.
'Can I just write code here?'
Chii Iik.
As seen in Longinus' data, Seong Ji-han wrote the extinction code on the spear.
"oh."
Even though the code was written to destroy everything, the Spear of Blood was intact.
but.
'The energy of extinction is starting to gather at the tip of the spear... … 'It will explode in 10 seconds.'
A blood relative's spear without a spear point.
What replaced the end seemed to be the power of extinction.
The energy of extinction flickers for 10 seconds, but when it hits the target, it disappears.
"Enkidu."
Seong Ji-han summoned Enkidu as a target and threw the blood relative's spear from afar.
Sigh!
As soon as the spear is inserted, Enkidu disappears like dust.
And the spear that destroyed the opponent flashed light once and returned to Seong Ji-han's hand.
'This is worth using.'
The ways to utilize the extinction code become endless.
Seong Ji-han looked inside the shaking portal.
The best outcome is that things go well and my sister comes back.
After using this window, I got a little greedy.
'Still, my sister is more important.'
Seong Ji-han put the blood relative's spear into his inventory.
It seemed like the more I used it, the more greedy I would become.
And while I was quietly looking at the portal and waiting.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Inside the portal, the owner of the arena appeared again.
"… … ha. "Since when did the discipline of the Void become like this?"
The owner of the arena laments as soon as he comes out.
"Why didn't you catch it?"
"Even if 999 times are torn, it continues to survive. Later, he threatened to kill the witch."
"… … "Why is that bastard so obsessed with his sister?"
"I do not know. Even though they said they would give me a promotion, they are still stubborn... … Instead, he has a suggestion."
"What?"
"If you defeat me, I will hand over the Void Witch."
"… … I?"
Seong Ji-han blinked at the unexpected words.
"That guy… … "Why did you pick me?"
"I want to know."
The owner of the arena who would grind his teeth if he had any.
He said.
"you. "Can I sponsor you?"
"… … "You're sponsoring me?"
"yes. The owner of the Abyss who dared to commit such a terrible act... … "We need to get rid of it completely."
Sponsorship was offered to Seong Ji-han.
