62. Don’t regret it. It’s useless to beg now

“Let’s meet and talk. Where are you? I’ll go now. Kill me if you can.”

When Choi Joo-won spoke in a cold voice, Song Min-cheol laughed.

“Do you think it will be scary if you set the mood like that? I don’t know what an A-class wizard can believe and be so arrogant.”

Song Min-cheol does not know that Choi Joo-won is a mask instructor. For Song Min-cheol, Joo-won Choi is just a lecturer who was expelled from Hellmund Academy after being falsely accused. He has A-class magic ability, and an S-class magic understanding. Song Min-cheol was aware of Choi Joo-won’s specs, which were known externally.

That’s why Mincheol Song acted arrogantly. Only one class A wizard could not be the opponent of the Wee Grove Guild. He’s not quite as good as the Baal guild, but Wiggrove is also one of the high-ranking guilds. Of course, it was not a group with the power to lose to just one individual.

Choi Joo-won said that he was laughing.

“I’ve never seen a strong guy like you who believes in his ability and messes with it. Why do you keep messing around without knowing the subject? Isn’t it just trusting and installing a guild like yours?”

Song Min-cheol laughed and replied.

“Only? Is the Weegrove Guild only visible in your eyes? You have to bluff to the fullest. We are a high-ranking guild recognized by everyone. But where is the academy instructor or a vulgar bastard who used to brag about things like that?”

Choi Joo-won replied.

“Let’s stop yelling and meet. You seem to need to meet and talk.”

“Ha, do you think there will be something I can do to make you beat me just because I met you? You’re digging my grave Rather good. We were going to find you anyway, but if you came to die first like this, there would be no need to stop you. I’ll send you a place, so come there. I hope you won’t run away like an idiot.”

“Oh, wait. I will definitely go.”

–

Song Min-cheol, who unilaterally hung up the phone, sent a text message to Joo-won Choi.

‘Is there a B-level gate nearby?’

When I searched for the address Mincheol Song had sent, it was right in front of where the B-level gate was created. As soon as he saw it, he was able to understand Song Min-cheol’s intentions.

‘They’re trying to bury me by going inside the gate.’

Of course, there are no CCTVs, no filming artifacts, and no witnesses inside the gate. Therefore, it is nothing to bury a person without perfect evidence.

If you dare to designate the place right in front of the dungeon as the location, it seems that when you go to the location I sent you, you will forcefully put it into the dungeon, or induce me to enter the dungeon and then deal with me there.

‘A idiot’

Song Min-cheol’s behavior was not even funny. He was like a moth jumping into a hot light. Even so, if there was no evidence left, I was in a good situation.

‘I said wee grove.’

Wiggrove. I know its name. One of the high-ranking wizard guilds. Their strength is by no means negligible. But compared to Baal, it falls short.

‘Even Baal guild leader Choi Seung-hyeon backed down on me, so what did Weegrove and the like believe in?’

‘Ah, didn’t Song Min-ah tell me that I was a masked instructor?’

Of course, I expected Song Min-ah to blow every bit of information related to me to Song Min-cheol. Song Min-ah means that since she knows that I am a masked instructor, she naturally assumed that she would have known Song Min-cheol. However, looking at Song Min-cheol’s complacent behavior, he seemed to be unaware that I was an S-class masked instructor.

‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have done that.’

I was sure. The fact that Song Min-cheol does not know that I am a masked instructor.

‘More than that, why the hell are you so mean to me?’

Suddenly, I couldn’t understand why Mincheol Song reacted hostilely to me. He asked me if I knew Song Min-ah, and soon after, he got angry at me by talking about warnings and whatnot.

‘Did Song Min-ah ask me for revenge?’

I had a lot of questions, but it didn’t matter. You’ll find out when we meet anyway.

‘In case you don’t know, I should prepare everything I can before going.’

I pulled out the hellhound’s fangs.

——-

[Legendary][Bonus]

Name: Hellhound’s Fang

Effect: Killing an enemy will absorb some of its stats and continue to grow the sword. Suppresses the recovery effect when an opponent is hit. ※Some stats are sealed. Open during growth.

Abilities unlocked

▶ Mana Absorption: When you deal damage to an enemy, a certain level of mana is drained.

▶ Battle Mania: The longer the battle lasts, the greater the damage when attacking.

——-

‘Do you have a lot of unlocked abilities?’

Before, he killed Der Todd, a monster that appeared in Blackgate with the fangs of a hellhound, and even Shim Ji-hyeok, who was enhanced with a dark artifact. As it was a growth artifact, the experience gained from killing them was quite large.

The hellhound’s fangs, which I hadn’t taken out in a while, had two abilities unlocked.

‘How much stronger is this?’

In fact, even the ability to absorb mana is an incredibly fraudulent ability. As long as there are many enemies, there is no need to use cumbersome [Absorption].

‘I’ll buy more if I use it in parallel with Absorption.’

Looking at the sword, I felt regret. Because I couldn’t control [Aura], It was impossible to use the sword with maximum efficiency.

The pinnacle of swordsmanship. [Aura] Is similar to the mana that wizards deal with.

[Aura] Can be used to strengthen a weapon or body, and additional abilities such as paralysis and freezing can be used depending on the aura attribute. However, since I am not an aura user, there are limits to using a sword.

‘Sorry.’

Just when I was thinking that, something I had forgotten about came to mind.

[Death Knight’s Thought Orb]

▶ It is a thought globe that gives off an ominous energy. When used, it is possible to acquire the swordsmanship that Death Knight possessed during his lifetime.

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t used this yet.’

When I made a bet with President Baek Joo-seok. An item obtained by catching a Death Knight while soloing in an A-class dungeon. I decided to try this out.

-Tup

When I put my hand on it, a bright light shimmered, and the thought sphere was absorbed into my body.

– Tring!

– You have absorbed Death Knight’s Thought Orb.

– [Sword Master] Gradually acquire the swordsmanship of the Death Knight.

– You have acquired [Beginner] Swordsmanship.

– The proficiency of swordsmanship increases gradually, and it is possible to reach the final [Sword Master]. Swordsmanship proficiency increases rapidly the more you wield the sword.

‘Crazy’

I started cursing. Right now it’s only a ‘beginner’, but as long as the word [Sword Saint] Comes out, it means that it can eventually reach the level of a Sword Saint.

‘It means I can even use the aura.’

I can’t use an aura yet, but as my swordsmanship level increases, I can even use an aura. Even the swordsman in the end, if that comes true, it will become the only magic swordsman in the world.

‘Whoa… For now, this should be enough.’

Anyway, it was unknown what kind of traps there would be or how many people there would be, as they were moving to a place called by a high-ranking guild. In the worst-case scenario, thousands of people could be waiting by gathering all the alliance guilds.

That’s why I also used Death Knight’s Thought Orb, which I had been putting off until now. Preparation is enough. There wasn’t really anything else I could do to prepare.

-Sueuk

I put the hellhound’s fangs on my back and moved to the address Mincheol Song told me.

– Jeobeok Jeobeok Jeobeok

When I moved to the place Mincheol Song mentioned, the surrounding area was a wasteland. There is only one gate here.

“Did you come early?”

Mincheol Song greeted me with a smile. Song Mina was also standing next to her. She, Song Min-ah, couldn’t bear to meet my eyes and she was crying.

“See that gate over there? Get in there.”

When Song Min-cheol gestured, I shouted in annoyance.

“Why should I do as you say?”

-Hwiik-!

Then, Song Min-cheol summoned all the troops he had hidden around him.

-Peeing

Hundreds of wizards who had been hiding themselves with magic canceled their stealth magic at the sound of the whistle.

They aimed at me in unison.

Song Min-cheol made another request.

“Go in when you have something nice to say. If you don’t comply, I will kill you right away.”

When he saw Song Min-cheol, who seemed to be a top performer, I let out a laugh.

“You are confident. Did you bring only this?”

And then, I trudged into the dungeon and talked.

“Come right in. Don’t even think about running away.”

-Hooung

When I entered the gate, I saw a dungeon. Inside the dungeon was a jungle full of bushes.

I looked around.

‘No CCTV, no magic filming site, nothing exists.’

Of course, since it was inside the dungeon, there was no one who could be a witness.

“Why are you looking around so much? I’m scared?”

Song Min-chul, who followed me later, laughed at me and shouted.

Hundreds of wizards were waiting behind him. Song Min-ah was also by her side, but she just kept her head down and still. I couldn’t see Song Mina’s expression.

‘What is he thinking right now?’

I don’t know. But it’s not my part time job.

Song Min-cheol talked to me.

“You will die today. So you should have messed around with people.”

Song Min-chul looked straight at me and talked.

He stretched out his leg and demanded of me.

“Lick your feet, and it will save your life. Ah, is it because of pride that you can’t do that?”

Seeing him giggling and swearing, I felt like I was getting angry. I talked to Song Min-cheol.

“Do it in moderation. Don’t test my patience. If you get down on your knees and apologize right now, I will forgive you.”

I showed mercy to Song Min-cheol for the last time. However, Song Min-cheol resolutely refused my mercy.

-Chin

Mincheol Song raised his middle finger to me and smiled.

“You have to kneel.”

-Tup

In an instant, I touched the ground and absorbed mana.

-Whoop

The moment enough mana is sucked into the body.

I talked to Song Min-cheol.

“Don’t regret it. There is no use begging now.”
