"…I'm sorry."
"For what."
"…For talking without knowing properly."
"If you know, that's enough."
Looking at Jung Heewon bowing her head to express her apology right in front of me and Yoo Sangah not knowing what to do with a tearful face, I let out a faint sigh and shifted my gaze elsewhere.
The reason these two women are acting like this started 10 minutes ago.
When I returned after dealing with Nirvana, they took out their weapons respectively, Jung Heewon starting with [Hour of Judgment] and Yoo Sangah starting with [Arachne's Web].
I wondered if I had to fight too as they were seriously trying to kill me…, but roughly understanding why they were throwing such a fit, I immediately took out 「Shin Yoosung」 and continued the explanation.
"Oppa…. Not… fighting…?"
"Do you want to fight?"
"If Oppa…, waaaants to…."
"Then let's stop here for today. Because of Nirvana, that bastard, not much Cursed Energy is left, and above all, I'm tired."
"Under…, stooood…."
「Shin Yoosung」 disappearing into the shadow with a somewhat disappointed face for some reason.
Compared to me watching that scene quite calmly….
"…Why are you looking at it as if it's so fascinating?"
"No, well. Just…."
"…."
Jung Heewon and Yoo Sangah.
These two were looking at me as if quite surprised.
"By the way…, what are you going to do now?"
"What do you mean."
"That…, for example, future plans, or preparations until Dokja-ssi and others come…."
[The Constellation, 'Demonic Judge of Fire', is enraged telling you to stay away from her Incarnation.]
[The Constellation, 'Demonic Judge of Fire', is enraged telling you to stay away from her Incarnation!]
[The Constellation, 'Demonic Judge of Fire', is enraged telling you to stay away from her Incarnation!!]
"…Like turning the sentiment of Constellations around…?"
Frowning at the message terror updating every second.
Demonic Judge of Fire…. How come this Constellation seems to keep picking fights with me….
The weaker the guy, the more flashy the name they make, and the more thoughtless actions they take.
Knowing that doing this anyway is just wasting that Constellation's Coins eventually, I ignored it consistently with a single remark 'Trivial Constellation bastard'.
Of course—
[The Constellation, 'Demonic Judge of Fire', shouts 'You son of a [Censored due to filtering requested by Eden].'!]
—Without becoming quiet, rather this guy barked more like a mad dog.
"…If we meet someday, definitely kill her…."
"What did you say?"
"…Nothing. Anyway, do as you please whether you make plans or whatever. I'm not interested in such things."
5 days left until the scenario ends.
Since the reward is confirmed anyway, no need to move urgently.
Therefore, training Cursed Energy or interpreting techniques until the remaining time. Or….
[Due to your curse, the souls of 'Shin Yoosung' and '???' have become the Over-Cursed Spirit 「Shin Yoosung」.]
[If you die, 「Shin Yoosung」 will also die. Instead, this point is applied as a Binding Vow, allowing you to use some skills of 'Shin Yoosung' and '???'.]
[Some skills of 'Shin Yoosung' and '???' react to your attribute, 'Jujutsu Sorcerer', and are converted into new skills.]
[New skill, Cursed Spirit Manipulation (呪霊操術) can be used while 「Shin Yoosung」 is alive.]
I could research more about this skill.
[As expected, no change?]
A Dokkaebi looking around along with a spark sound pajijik-!.
Shaking his head left and right as if somewhat regretful, he shifts his gaze to one side.
"Truly unpleasant blatant gaze."
[I give you one piece of advice, you. If you continue to act like that, you will face great misfortune someday.]
"I'll take care of that myself, so shut up and give me the reward."
[…If you insist.]
Frowning as if displeased, the Dokkaebi snaps his fingers.
The black-furred guy I saw last time was somewhat okay because he had a lower stance compared to other Dokkaebis…, but that guy reminds me of that guy with glasses, making me feel dirty for no reason.
[Rewards will be differentially distributed per rank from 1st to 10th, and distributed every 50 ranks below that. All Incarnations please check your ranks by looking at the ranking table.]
Along with the Dokkaebi's words, names of countless Incarnations and the number of monsters they killed listed at high speed.
Below 100th place, the numbers were all similar, but from above that, the number of monsters killed was quite respectable.
Of course, not as much as me.
"Truly a bizarre number. Wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you gathered all the monsters appearing in one scenario?"
"Natural procedure. By the way…, King of Wanderers. I want to ask what kind of bullsh*t this is."
"I don't know well what you are talking about?"
"Your rank. Why is the number like this."
"Not everyone can be as strong as you and that child's companion. And in the first place, I don't have many combat-related skills."
"…."
I clicked my tongue briefly looking at her speaking slyly.
Her subordinate Cho Youngran proudly took 4th place, but her name couldn't be found even down to 20th place.
Similarly, the names of Shin Yoosung and 'Shin Yoosung' couldn't be found either.
…As expected, it must be because those guys are treated as dead in the system.
Anyway…, what are the three Kings from 11th to 13th and a President at 14th?
"Hmm…."
Was I becoming interested in the guys called 'King' for the first time like that?
Abruptly, Jung Heewon, Yoo Sangah, and people including Cho Youngran approached.
Right. It was the time of the promised reward supply.
-Clatter. Clink clink…!!
The number of Coins rising exponentially fast and the heavy Item Box.
The quality of rewards was enormous enough to make the interest in 'King' seem trivial, so various thoughts began to swirl in my head momentarily without my realizing.
It was even too early to be surprised yet.
[You have taken 1st place with an overwhelming gap in the seventh scenario.]
[Since you survived the 'Hunt', rewards are additionally enhanced.]
[Rewards have arrived.]
[Enhanced Reward, 'A-grade Skill']
[There is a special skill that reacts to your attribute.]
"…Ha. Head already starts to hurt."
Interpreting 'Shrine' and 'Ten Shadows Technique' was overwhelming enough, but if more things to interpret about techniques increase here, it was obvious my head would shatter beyond breaking.
So…, I hope what I choose this time is a relatively simple technique like Cursed Spirit Manipulation….
"Cursed Speech (呪言). Shall I go with this."
A technique that imbues words with curses and forcibly realizes them in reality.
Simple yet powerful technique, but the risks that follow accordingly are….
Not distinguishing between friend and foe, and the amount of Cursed Energy varies depending on the opponent's status…. And ineffective if the opponent blocks hearing temporarily. Is it these three?
Well, even considering that, it cannot be denied that the performance of the technique is good.
And after interpreting all the previous techniques, if I can sublimate this technique into Domain Expansion too….
"…Ha. Not bad."
Finishing my thoughts up to there, I put on a satisfied smile and began to move slowly.
Then, Jung Heewon, who was talking about various things with Yoo Sangah, stopped me asking where I was going, but….
"Is there a reason to travel together? Maybe if it was Kim Dokja. But not with you guys."
I contracted with Kim Dokja to cooperate until before the eighth scenario on the condition of receiving 150,000 Coins, control of Fable, and weapons.
Since I made an Existence Pledge to him and Binding Vow was additionally applied to me, I must keep that contract.
However, a clause saying 'Protect Jung Heewon and Yoo Sangah' was not included in that contract.
"And, with what qualification do you propose companionship when you aimed your swords and showed killing intent merely based on your own speculation?"
"Th, that is…."
"…Yuhyeon-ssi is right. I'm sorry. We were too shameless."
The reason I didn't kill them and let them live that day was partly because I was tired due to Nirvana, but also because of the reward of the seventh scenario.
But. Now I got all the rewards too. There is no reason to spare them, nor reason not to be hostile.
So if they stopped me again this time, I tried to fire 'Dismantle' without hesitation, but they let me go easily.
'…Even so, isn't it better to go together? The two are quite strong…, and what happened back then was understandable enough to misunderstand….'
'That's right. And, we aren't completely dead either, so we can forgive enough….'
"…If you're going to say useless things, both of you shut up."
When I scolded quite seriously, the two became quiet immediately.
Wondering what is okay and what they intend to forgive, feeling absurd, I clicked my tongue briefly and headed to a secluded alleyway.
The reason I bothered to head here was because of a certain Constellation.
Honestly speaking, whether it's a Constellation of Absolute Good alignment, Absolute Evil alignment, or whatever Constellation, I didn't care.
Whether they rebuke me, cheer for me, or post bounty scenarios about me, I just let it in one ear and out the other, but….
[The Nebula, 'Underworld', is watching you.]
[The Constellation, 'Queen of the Darkest Spring', wants to meet you.]
…This Constellation is a bit different.
