Chapter 522
―I’m sorry. You’re probably listening, Leeha. I’m sorry.
At the time of explaining the situation, Kijeong had already switched to speakerphone.
Taeil’s heavy voice rang through the receiver in the hospital room.
The reason Taeil was calling like this, and saying he was sorry, was like telling me the direction of the final battle.
Taeil died, and Chiyo could not be killed.
‘The deaths of Taeil, Jinggeonggeong, and Biyemi…’
It was a result that even Lee Ha, who was lying down, couldn’t believe.
I had a feeling of concern. However, whether it was Igor or Faust, didn’t the forces that joined hands with Chiyo already suffer once?
‘Even if I held hands with Chiyo, she was broken by me. So, of course, I thought we would never hold hands again…’
Igor is not a fool. Faust is not a fool. These are users who joined hands once but did not fully benefit from Chiyo.
Are those users holding Chiyo’s outstretched hand again? It’s not that there is no possibility, but I can’t help but think it’s very low.
“Why did Igor and Faust change their minds and suddenly turn to Chiyo?”
– I don’t know exactly, but I think it’s because of the forces she brought with them.
“Influence? “The guild called [Yamato] you mentioned earlier?”
-It’s not just about remembering names. After researching on the internet, I found that everyone I saw, fought with, and remembered was an ‘outsider.’ I think I understand what you mean.
“…Nonsense! Chiyo- Chiyo has a guild like that? “A secret guild made up entirely of outsiders?”
―As someone who has dealt with him, I can only think that way. Not a Shinobi-gumi, but a combat guild. [Yamato] was already ready for her.
“B-but! Obviously, as far as I know, she is not the guild master of any guild—”
―Who is the guild master of the Shinobigumi?
Hearing Taeil’s gloomy voice, Lee Ha also came to his senses again.
Even though we investigated Chiyo through the sacred grill, she was not the guild master of any guild.
It was natural. Because it was to hide the Shinobi-gumi.
However, she was the actual head of the Shinobigumi. then? In the case of Yamato, nothing was impossible.
‘There was another guild like that… another guild that he commanded while appointing someone else as the president of the pants? An ordinary person would find it difficult to run even one guild, but running two at the same time – and that too while hiding it so perfectly… Is this a person who is beyond common sense?’
According to Taeil, there were only 7 outsiders identified through the Internet after his death.
If that is the concept of the guild called [Yamato], then even unconfirmed Yamato guild members would never have lower skills.
Since it was too much for Hyein, there is a possibility that it was other users in the top 100 rankings.
‘I don’t know if it’s Top 10, but in Top 100, not everyone memorizes the faces and names.’
Did they have such a huge guild?
An average person wouldn’t be able to handle just one Shinobi-gumi, but two!
However, Lee Ha was not only surprised by Chiyo’s operational ability. What was more important now was her mind and mentality.
What if you have a knife in your pocket? People tend to want to write.
Shinobigumi, or in other words, whenever there was a problem that couldn’t be solved by a guild that dealt only with ‘information’, they would definitely want to use that guild, the secret combat guild [Yamato].
‘But I endured it. All the way. He even endured it when he died. Unless there was a condition that prevented him from using that guild – that guild belonged to someone else – no, Brother Taeil was sure that Chiyo had dragged them there. Then she resisted the temptation herself.’
Of course, she couldn’t allow more than three deaths, so she ended up taking it out, but anyway, she endured continuing to use the ‘combat guild’ even when she was driven to a dead end.
That was something that couldn’t be done with a normal mindset.
‘So you don’t pull the trigger until the perfect moment comes… I thought I had a pretty good idea of her personality so far. ‘It wasn’t.’
A mindset similar to that of a sniper.
Lee Ha swallowed dry saliva. She will become stronger. You will appear in front of yourself in a stronger form.
“ah! Brother Taeil? “What happened to the spiritist you mentioned earlier?”
Ki-jeong remembered that Tae-il didn’t mention much about the spirit temple. What happened to the spiritist who once saved Biyemi?
-I don’t know. Frea: I don’t even know why she appeared…
But Taeil couldn’t figure it out until the end.
* * *
A giant eagle scratched the eyeball of a giant bear.
He screamed and swung his legs wildly, but no one was immune to the blind attack.
“꾸 Woo Woo … ”
Faust’s Dullahans cut down the gong. The huge bear fell down with a thud and gradually turned gray.
“Kyakyakya, as far as I know, last time you sacrificed your life to save someone. Are you doing something disgusting like that again?”
“People like you, fuhuuu…. people wouldn’t know.”
“Don’t act proud when your arm is torn off! Kyahahaha!”
Taeil managed to stand using his sword as a cane, but with one arm missing, it was difficult for him to maintain his balance.
The space barrier did not disappear naturally, but Hyein created a hole in it and somehow saved the people of Byeolcho.
In a battle involving Igor, Faust, Yongyong, and many other outsiders and top 100 rankers, Byeolcho miraculously minimized damage.
“Tch, Igor, stop playing around and kill me quickly. “This is the only way to incur major losses.”
Therefore, Chiyo’s face was very distorted.
I even drew out the ‘last, final card’, but I can’t shake the whole star!
‘I knew Master K, Bobae, and Leeha weren’t there. So I took this opportunity to bring in the best to wipe them out… but other than a few small fry, I was only able to catch Taeil, Biyemi, and Jinggeonggeong. This is the only way to say something to Oto-san…’
As she frowned, one person caught her attention.
His slim and slim appearance was eye-catching even in the blood-soaked village.
“ah! Now that I think about it… Frea, what about you? “What’s going on here?”
Chiyo instantly put on a business smile and walked towards her.
Taeil also looked there. Why on earth did the spirit master come here?
‘Was it just a coincidence that I helped Biyemi once?’
Taeil was secretly looking forward to it. Chiyo approaching me like that is an opportunity.
Isn’t Prea also a super expert ranked 11th? When she is careless, she will have the ability to use the spirits to burn Chiyo’s bones.
When Chiyo approaches Preah, gently shaking her buttocks, and when Frea takes a step back and waves her hands excitedly.
“What are you doing watching the underdog?! yes!?”
“───!”
Taeil felt as if his decapitated head was splitting through the air. What Taeil saw right before logging out was Frea’s smiling face.
* * *
“Ah, hey, that – Hoho, Chiyo, I’ve heard of that reputation. This is my first time seeing Igor and Faust. hello?”
Frea, a tall wood elf, smiled awkwardly and greeted the people standing across from her.
I wanted to use teleportation and escape right away, but there was no chance.
This is because Hyein did not completely break the space barrier, but only made a hole in the area she was going to use. However, by the time I walked out, I had already missed the timing.
‘Oh, I’m so annoyed! Come and get it for no reason! ‘Why!’
The purpose was precisely to help Byeolcho kill Chiyo. But what can Frea herself do in the current situation?
Are you taking Byeolcho’s side? Freah looked at Chiyo’s feet as she walked towards her. Floating next to it was Taeil’s head.
‘I don’t know, but he seems like a pretty high-ranking person in Byeolcho. In a situation like that, I have to take Byeolcho’s side…’
There is no reason to take sides.
Even if you take a side, no one will recognize it. Freah couldn’t clearly decide what position she should take.
“Huh… It certainly seemed like he was trying to protect Biyemi… Well, it’s obvious what he would have been thinking if he was ranked 11th….”
You won’t miss Prea’s ‘thoughts’ when you say things like that. It wasn’t.
Chiyo knew with 100% accuracy what she was thinking when she came here and what her purpose was.
“no! no! What are you saying! Well, when have you ever seen me obsessed with rankings? “I just heard that there was a dragon lair in the Silver Plains, so I thought I’d go take a look there.”
“Then, that stone wall creation magic earlier was—”
“Oh, it’s not magic! “Our spirits sometimes get out of control—hehehe.”
Frea smiled shyly. White eyes were curved like half moons.
It was then that Igor approached, ahead of Chiyo.
“Now that I think about it, you’re a bitch who’s never eaten anything before. “If you rank 11th, you will have an achievement.”
Swinging a saw-like sword! His lifting movements were unstoppable.
Chiyo actually flinched at the action that seemed like it would cut Freya down at any moment, but Freya’s expression turned sharp when she met the sword.
“You will regret it if you swing it, Igor.”
“Kyaaaat?! what? regret? I know too, [White-Eyed Elementalist]. It’s a topic that doesn’t go well with people, but who wouldn’t know that I leveled up a lot by myself just because I found a few spirits quickly? With that level of skill-”
“Even with that level of skill, I could burn you to death right now.”
Igor could not swing his sword. This is because I was rather dumbfounded by such an absurd statement.
Who kills whom? When Igor’s expression began to turn fierce, Freya spoke once again.
“And my spirit is my skill, but the reason you leveled up is thanks to the subordinates over there, right? “Is that your ‘skill’?”
Her big-mouthed smile shined even in Chessi, where NPCs had been wiped out. But it didn’t reach Igor. The moment the Russian Giant, who was very angry, was about to swing his sword, it was Chiyo who blocked his way.
“Cook, cluck, stop, stop. “You were an interesting person, Frea.”
“Ha, I always play with spirits, so I’m not good at talking to users. Was it fun?”
Freya asked with an innocent face. The corner of Chiyo’s mouth also slightly turned up.
‘Look at this… I don’t think it’s just a bluff. What kind of personality is this? ‘I’m sure there’s information I know, but it’s a lot different?’
There is rough information about skills, but information about ‘personality’ could not be collected even from the Shinobigumi.
Chiyo was interested in Freah.
The situation is overwhelming, with Igor and Czar, Faust and the undead, dragons and taming pets, and even Yamato led by Chiyo herself.
Can you feel confident in front of them?!
Whether it was a bluff or the truth, either way, it felt strange to Chiyo.
‘Until now, there has only been one person like this.’
That was the reason why Chiyo was interested in Freah. This is the person who comes to mind, the person I wanted to have but ended up not being able to have.
‘Hi ha.’
Chiyo smiled. And then he opened his mouth.
“Mr. Frea?”
“yes?”
“If it’s okay, shall we have some tea? I still have something to say to Igor, Faust, and Yongyong here. “It would be nice if you could attend together.”
It was an obvious recruitment offer. Frea answered immediately.
“Sure, whatever. “I’m a little tired of just talking with spirits.”
“Woohoooooo─────────!”
As soon as those words were finished, a small rock was created next to Freya and she screamed.
Frea got irritated, kicking the rock again and again.
“Noim! “I told you not to pop out at any time!”
Chiyo looked at this somewhat absurdly. She let out a small laugh and looked back.
“The NPCs have been wiped out, so the Minnis Kingdom’s garrison will arrive within the next hour. So let’s talk quickly.”
“What can we talk about quickly? Kyaakya, well, I thought you were carrying around some talkative brats, but you ended up hiding some pretty cuties, right?”
“Ugh, you better watch your mouth if you don’t want to get stabbed by those ‘cuties’, Igor.”
