chapter 432
432 – Uneasy Alliance
I bought time for Azura to use her skills, and after a few minutes, she gave me her clear answer.
(It seems right to take the most aggressive stance you can think of. Of course, I’m not saying to use force. If you make even the slightest mistake, you’ll be torn into thousands of pieces.)
‘I don’t do that either. But is it really okay? If I go aggressive, they’ll try to rip out my brain and kill me?’
(Hmph! Quite the contrary. That woman will feel curiosity more strongly than fear that there is someone who can share information that only she knew.)
‘Seup… Really?’
Looking at some of the developments I made, it was a very dangerous situation, but Azra’s confident tone shook me.
(Oh my… Time is so short. Eun-young is also coming out of ‘Snow Woman’s’ room, so I’ll just leave.)
Drop-
With the sound of something breaking, the illusion of Azraelon disappeared.
When you say ‘Snow Woman’, you probably mean Noh Hayun. When the two of you are alone in the room, are you leaving Azraelon outside? Or maybe that’s what Azra wanted.
‘Um…’
I slowly rubbed my index finger over my eyebrows and spoke.
“Inessa…”
“How many times did I call you? I asked if you had any last words.”
“It’s urgent. It’s too urgent.”
“Oh, what should I do!”
“More than that, Inessa. Do you want to hit Jogiman with me?”
“?!!”
If we’re just going to leave, let’s do it with all our might.
Inessa’s face was filled with surprise at the suddenly thrown keyword Jogiman.
The question and answer a little while ago was irritating, but there was no problem, but this time, he seems to be quite sloppy.
‘The reaction was 180 degrees different from what I imagined.’
I know for sure that Azra’s insight is better than mine.
“Are you saying that because you know what kind of being Jogiman is?”
“What kind of being…”
How far do I have to go to continue the story? When you are thinking about this.
Clap!
A cool sensation touched my neck and told me that my life was a light before the wind.
‘Gun…’
The muzzle of an unusual long gun was pointed.
An unusually long gun made of brilliant silver metal.
I have heard news that a hunter who uses such a weapon has joined the ‘do’.
‘Sniper Patrick, was that his name?’
It’s not an ordinary gun.
I heard that it was a work of art created by combining the technical skills of dwarves.
It looks like some ancient crystals were melted down…
As I glance sideways at the man in the cowboy hat pointing the gun, the man who is touching the long muzzle winks at me.
‘It seems he’s much stronger than the dwarf Eom Sang-wook who fought Yeon-soo. It is almost the same as the goblin that gave the whistle…’
I look at Inessa again.
A rare evil woman who caused suffering to many innocent people.
This guy will definitely be on my list of villains one day.
But her power was so great, and if she could use it, she would be great.
‘I don’t think she even knows that Jogiman has returned… And she probably knows that she is a being strongly connected to the end of the world.’
Of course, I don’t know Jo Gi-man’s actions after my death in my past life.
Jogi Mando would not wish for this world to be destroyed, but considering his actions, it was clear that he was preparing to rule this world.
‘It might be better to fail than to be ruled by such a crazy person.’
In any case, Inessa’s abilities are not perfect, so she needs to control the level of her remarks.
“What do I know? I know that she is an extraordinary bastard. And I know that she has the ability and the will to bring destruction to this world.”
“·····Because it is ruin, ruin···It would be possible to interpret it.
“Let’s say it’s something like that.”
“It’s funny. A person with such unique abilities appears out of nowhere? Isn’t this too contrived? It smells like a trap. Jax! Examine the ‘whistle’ again. They might have set up some kind of device.”
“Yes!”
Kkirik- kkirik-
The man called ‘Jax’ started moving to the corner in a wheelchair and holding a ‘whistle’.
‘It looks like that guy is in charge of items. His physical abilities are poor, but his magical power is at the top level. It seems like he has special abilities… I did a good job attracting people with those abilities.’
As expected, there would be merit in using this guy’s power.
In fact, his ability to find talented people may be better than that of Jo Ki-man, a regressor.
“Puhup… It’s fun. It’s finally become fun, huh?”
She looked at me with interest, her eyes shining brightly, as if she was amused by my sudden change in attitude.
Then, as if something suddenly occurred to me, I purse my lips and fell into thought.
I had so many thoughts of what she was going to say after her, so she decided to play ahead of time.
“I know there is a big difference between your power and our power.”
“Yeah, that’s what you were going to say already? Isn’t there too much of a difference in level? Why are you suggesting a collaboration?”
“No… Think about it carefully. The last time I saw you and how Yeonhee looked recently.
If you’re not going to hit him right away anyway, it wouldn’t be completely unreasonable to join us as we’re growing rapidly. “You should know better than us that there is no other team capable of discovering Jo Gi-man’s identity, right?”
Of course, most of it was just a wish mixed with hope.
We still have a long way to go before we can compete with Jogiman.
Nevertheless, the reason I say this is because today we responded perfectly to Inessa’s masterpiece.
Considering that I stole Yeonhee using an earring, the claim that I have future vision will definitely work. The same goes for early delivery.
In order to revolutionize a future that has no answers, cooperation with Yeonhee, who possesses ‘invisibility’, would not be a bad thing for Inessa.
From the beginning, it may have been a ploy to placate Yeon-hee by charming or imprisoning her, but she knows that it won’t be easy.
This was true just by looking at the very small proportion of women among the goblins.
Because [Attraction] Is something that doesn’t work well on people of the same sex.
‘If you think about it that way, Hase-rin, who can charm women, is a really talented woman.’
Suddenly, the great villain Haserin came to mind, but this was important right now.
“······ Okay. I’ll just wait and see.”
After thinking for a moment, she quickly accepted my offer and asked.
“But I have to tell you one thing. What on earth are you? I thought you were Lee Yeon-hee’s summoned beast, but what are you?”
“Let me tell you that I am a long-time follower of Lee Yeon-hee.”
“Follower… That doesn’t mean you simply follow, right? If you become a follower of Lee Yeon-hee, will you become ‘invisible’…?”
“Not everyone is like that. I’m a little special.”
“··· Then how can I even trust you? You can increase your strength and attack me?”
“As I said before, I am also a person who can see pieces of the future. The world is on the brink of destruction, so is it that important to attack you?”
“─?!”
Inessa flinched at the keyword ‘destruction’.
“You know not only Jogiman, but also everything. There was someone else besides me…”
She must have lived her whole life thinking she was alone in knowing that this world was finite.
Those eyes that seem to be filled with many emotions right now may contain many days in the past that I cannot fathom.
‘Hmph, there’s no use looking at it with those eyes. Someday, I will make you pay for your sins too. Wait.’
‘Glimerkin’ is a crossbreed between humans and goblins.
The screams of the nameless woman who gave birth and despaired were still vivid.
That’s why I wanted to make sure that woman was judged for what she did right away, but at the moment, I didn’t have enough strength, so I had to plan for later.
She was quietly nodding her head.
The mood has already passed 99%.
Now all I have to do is get the body out safely.
“I think that’s pretty much it. I guess I’ll just have to go.”
“What? Already? The story isn’t over yet!”
“I’m finished. I’m a person with more work done than I look. Where am I?”
I knew it was flying above the sky, but it was difficult to determine its location just by that.
“······.”
Inesa didn’t answer my question and just bit her nails.
In the end, she came up with a map in her head.
‘Jogiman is on the map, so it doesn’t matter.’
I think I know it’s roughly somewhere between Europe and Korea.
I stood up without delay.
Then Inessa became even more restless.
I felt like I wasn’t sure if it was really okay to let me go like this.
“I will only let you go if you swear.”
“Do we really have to go that far?”
“Yes!”
It is impossible for her to rely on the power of the oath to see her future.
Seeing her her face her her her turn bright red, it seemed like her pride her her her her she was quite hurt.
‘The most important thing is to prevent the destruction of the world by the forces of Blue Eyes. Jo Gi-man is aiding and abetting the incident to satisfy his own desires. Stopping those guys is the priority, so it’s right for Inessa to put it off as a later priority.’
Images of suffering women flashed through my mind, but I was not a god and I couldn’t control everything.
“Good.”
We took down Jogiman and made a pledge to cooperate in the fight against threatening forces the world.
They also added a promise not to harm each other until then.
‘You could say it’s an unstable truce.’
“See you next time.”
“Now, wait! Take this and go!”
Kkirik- kkirik-
A man in a wheelchair approaches and hands him his bracelet.
‘Whistle’ restored.
‘This child has the power to improve artifacts…’
It was an unheard of ability.
It gives the artifact the ability to activate items placed in subspace.
You are a coveted talent.
“Can’t I activate this first?”
“It is possible to infuse magical energy and talk to me for a moment.”
“··· If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be quicker to just exchange contact information?”
“What, what, what! No!”
‘What can’t be done?’
I nodded roughly and turned around and headed toward the exit.
The man wearing a cowboy hat who pointed a gun at me slightly lifts his hat
The stylishly grown beard was impressive.
Like Eom Sang-wook, whom I met last time, this guy didn’t wear a mask, and it seems clear that each person is affected by [Charm] To a different degree.
His behavior was friendly, but his eyes were filled with wariness.
The cool sensation of the gun he was aiming at still remains.
‘Sniper… This guy is the most dangerous. The range must be enormous.’
A monster that can shoot powerful magical bullets from a distance far beyond the realm of my senses.
The next time we engage in an all-out war with these guys, they were the ones we had to kill first.
‘Are we here?’
Ujijik-
When I reached the end of the mint-colored space and turned the door handle, the handle was crushed like a piece of paper. No, it was just paper.
“Ah! Turn gently!”
Inessa can be heard having a seizure from behind.
Why not make it with paper in the first place?
Whiooooo──
When I opened the door and came out, I could sense the outline of the aircraft more clearly.
Although it was slightly modified, it looked like the paper airplane we commonly know.
‘You have all kinds of amazing abilities. How many unique skills are there?’
Without hesitation, I threw myself into the air and quickly flew towards the place where Jo Giman’s location was blinking.
*
After Sun and Moon leave.
Inessa leaned her head on the table and was silent for a while.
Her hunters who follow her see her suddenly depressed and don’t know what to do.
Knock-knock-
A man holding a silver long gun sat across from her and meticulously wiped the muzzle of her gun.
“Shall I get it again?”
“······ No.”
The man only showed a faint smile at Inessa’s short answer.
It was the first time.
The person who saw Inessa’s appearance
It would have been appropriate for a woman with a fair face to be skinned, and for a man to be cut into pieces and killed.
This time was an exception.
That’s why Koreans view ‘jogimangi’ as dangerous.
Are you strong enough to even have to borrow the power of such a small hand?
Since he hadn’t seen the man named ‘Jogi Man’ yet, he shook his head slightly and looked forward to meeting him soon.
“Even with your abilities, I can’t kill you…”
Inessa’s words her, as if she could clearly see through the man’s thoughts his, made his body temperature rise.
“Heh… The only person I can’t kill is you.”
“Ugh… Think whatever you want.”
In Inesa’s mind, the future of a man having his head cut off and eaten by Jo Ki-man was pictured, but she didn’t bother to talk about it.
“If I collect the jewels of evolution and kill only my opponents… I become a god. Then I can feel at ease…”
She kept repeating those words.
* * *
“Ugh… Wow, the head.”
Yeonhee Lee opened her eyes in an unknown space, clutching her throbbing head.
