Be Careful When Agreeing to Terms and Conditions

If. Covered in blood (3)

Lumine has become strange. It was after that night.

These days, whenever I move, I can feel eyes on me from somewhere. If I follow that person’s footsteps, there is a good chance that Lumine will be looking at me intently.

Wherever she goes, Lumine looks at me closely, as if she were an elementary school student who discovered a mysterious creature. I felt a bit nervous as an object of observation, but I couldn’t say anything because I didn’t want to say anything.

For no reason, I asked Lumine, ‘Why do you keep looking at me these days?’ And then she said, ‘No? If I hear the answer ‘I’ve never done that before?’, I’ll be the only one who looks weird. And really, what is so disappointing about Lumine that she would watch over a guy like me with interest?

So, I tried my best to think that this was just an illusion and focused only on the requests that needed to be resolved immediately. First of all, the problem was the existence of the ‘Women’ who attacked the group last time.

If the Wooindan’s advance team was interested in the meteorite fragment and was the culprit of this incident, this was a serious issue that required renewal of the contract terms. It was a car that had suffered the same way last time, when it had to fight against a team of only eight people.

But do we have to wage an all-out war with the Wooin Dan? In that case, it was right to leave out this request. At least I was making that judgment.

The supporting actors had to understand the theme well. I was not the main character, so I had no desire to deal with formidable enemies like the Woin. The moment I was captured by those international gangsters, I had to give up living a carefree life on the Tivat continent.

Of course, even if it wasn’t the Wooindan, there was one more problem. Rather, this problem was the most urgent obstacle to overcome in order to complete the request.

Fragments of meteorites fall endlessly from the sky. That was the biggest concern for our group right now. No matter how hard I worked to retrieve pieces of the meteorite, there was no answer if the meteorites continued to fall. Isn’t it impossible to just pick up pieces of a meteorite all day without an appointment?

In the end, there was only one answer. To find a more fundamental solution, we returned to the Mond Adventurer’s Guild. It was both to report and to request support.

Catherine, who heard my explanation, nodded as if she understood.

“So, the loss of sleep for people who come into contact with a piece of a meteorite is a kind of curse, and an expert is needed to solve it?”

“It’s nice that you speak so quickly, Catherine. So, is there anyone suitable?”

Katherine, a beautiful woman with black hair and a receptionist at the Adventurer’s Guild, closed her eyes as if lost in thought for a moment after hearing what I said.

And after a while, she opened her eyes with a small exclamation. It was a positive sign.

“Ah! Now that I think about it, there is one person who is suitable for me. “I’m not a magic expert, but an excellent astrologer happens to belong to the adventurer’s guild.”

The first to react to those words was Fissle. Fissle’s eyes, who were particularly interested in the occult, filled with subtle anticipation. The pretentious girl again began to recite unknown words in a haughty voice.

“Hey, are you the one who sees the truth hidden behind the stars? Although it may not reach the wisdom of the princess who examines the shining fragments of fate, it is not a bad choice among her common talents.”

“The lady said, ‘Astrologer? ‘That would be helpful!'”

As always, Oz’s translation continued, but Lumine still looked like she didn’t understand, despite Oz’s kindness. She tilted her head and tilted it.

Lumine’s eyes naturally turned to Paimon. Paimon’s role was mainly to explain things to Lumine, who had just landed on the Tivart continent. First of all, the main reason was that he was the most talkative among our group.

“Astrologer?”

Sure enough, in response to Lumine’s question, Paimon cleared his throat, hmm, and crossed his arms. This was his usual attitude when he was showing off.

Paimon looked proud. Soon, common sense from the Tivat continent began to flow from her small mouth. I thought he was a little arrogant, so I hesitated for a moment about pinching his cheek.

“It is said that on the continent of Tivat, the stars determine fate. So, there are people who specialize in looking at the stars and predicting the future, and they are called ‘astrologers.'”

But, as an ‘astrologer’, I stopped my hand that was slowly moving towards Paimon’s cheek. It was because there was a face that suddenly passed by when I heard that name. I stroked my chin and swallowed.

Fisle was the first to notice my worried look. She looked at my distressed appearance and tilted her head as if wondering.

“My servant, the riddle of the abyss seems to be clouding your mind. “Do you have any concerns?”

“No, I know an astrologer… ….”

But before I could finish speaking, Catherine’s mouth opened. It was a voice that pleased me.

“Oh, you’re coming right now! Now, that person is an ‘astrologer’ belonging to the Mond Adventurer’s Guild.”

Thank you for your timing, I shifted my gaze with that thought in mind. It wasn’t just me, it was the whole group. Where the group’s gaze was directed, a cone-shaped hat was visible.

The word witch immediately crossed my mind. A dark blue cone hat, high-leg tights, and an outfit that clings tightly to the body and exposes the curves of the body without filtering.

Her dark blue hair was tied into pigtails and flowing, and her pale green-jewel eyes and pure white skin seemed to highlight the fact that she was a rare beauty.

It was an uncommon fashion and appearance. The woman who was designated as an ‘astrologer’ tilted her head as the gaze was directed towards her. And she slowly began to look at our group.

“Huh? As if everyone was waiting for me, wondering what was going on… Eh?!”

Her gaze, which was scanning the group through Lumine, Fissle, Oz, and Paimon, stopped when she made eye contact with mine. As soon as she saw me, her body stiffened as if she was startled.

Indeed, this is the person I used to know. As I muttered that to myself, Paimon also raised his voice as if he had finally remembered.

“Ah! Mona, it’s been a while~”

“It’s been a while, Astrologer, I hope you get better.”

I smiled kindly and raised my hand as a courtesy to an acquaintance I hadn’t seen in a long time. However, Mona gave me a suspicious look and she just took a step back.

And then he hugged me as if to protect me and spoke to me as if he was warning me.

“…… “Don’t come closer.”

There was a tremor in his voice that couldn’t be hidden, so I smiled even brighter. And then I trudged over to Mona. Mona winced, but it was already too late to pull herself away.

My arm was around her shoulder. Mona’s body trembled at the sign of her friendliness. But I didn’t care and decided to remind her of her old memories with me.

“No, why would our astrologer Nauri do this? But we were helping each other at one point, right?”

“…… What is helping! “I was unilaterally exploited!”

The gazes of Lumine and Fissle, who were watching what Mona and I were doing, crossed in the air. And the gaze naturally turned to Paimon.

The eyes were asking for an explanation. Paimon, as if he had been waiting, pursed his lips and explained the relationship between me and Mona.

“Among Siwoo’s colleagues, there is an adventurer named ‘Bennet,’ but he was so unlucky that Siu went through a lot of trouble while accompanying Bennett. So while he was wondering how to cure Bennett’s bad luck, he heard a rumor about an astrologer who came to Mond.”

At that time, Fissle made a sound like “Ah,” As if he understood. She also often went on adventures with Siuna Bennett, so she had already heard the story.

However, there was still a question mark on Lumine’s face, so Paimon had to finish the explanation.

“So, Siwoo went to an astrologer and asked him to look at Bennett’s fate, but he said he can’t show fate to just anyone, right? So what did Siwoo do at that time… ….”

“…… “You were holding onto my legs in the middle of the city!”

A sound that screams out. When Mona remembered that story, she felt ashamed again, and her body trembled and she cried out. A light blush appeared on her face.

“Do you know how embarrassed I was back then?! The rumor also spread strangely! That the man who dumped me was clinging to me, and that I was so moved by his sincerity that I ended up dating him again…….”

“Well, it’s not bad, right? Thanks to this, there are no more annoying men… “Quaaah!”

I joked with Mona like that, but all she got back was the punishment of having her feet trampled. It seemed like it was too much to tell a joke to a woman whose eyes were fluttering and ruminating on her anger at the time.

I screamed at the sudden pain and fell away from Mona. Only then did Mona seem to have regained her composure and patted her cloak off her shoulder. And she let out her signature haughty nasal voice.

“Hmph, I was embarrassed at the time and accepted fate, but it would be a mistake to think that I can do whatever I want with this Astrogist, Mona, and Megistos in the future… So, what on earth is going on?”

I glared at Mona with resentment at her trampled feet, but Mona didn’t seem to care at all. She just looked like she couldn’t stop her and the rest of the group, so she ended up not paying anyone’s attention to the pain in my foot.

Catherine giggled and laughed when she saw me and Mona, and then she started explaining her current situation to Mona.

It was a simple and clear explanation. From what happened after the meteorite fragment fell, to the process of ordering the request, and to the new information we gained while handling the request.

And the end of the story had no choice but to end with Mona’s help being needed. Mona seemed a little worried about Catherine’s polite request,

“Hmm, good. “I will lend you her strength.”

, She answered at once. It was none other than me who was moved to tears by her answer.

“Hey! When you were me, I had to beg and they would only listen…….”

“That is that, this is this. “There’s nothing stopping me from lending my talent when so many people are suffering, right?”

I was at a loss for words after Mona’s answer, so I kept my mouth shut. Because Mona’s words were correct. The need to distinguish between private requests and public affairs was the same in 21st century Korea and the Tivat continent.

Mona must have liked my angry expression and smiled refreshingly. She added, adjusting her conical hat, as was her habit.

“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, the mystery will be solved quickly. “If you were to call me an expert on the stars, wouldn’t it be me?”

It was Fissle who asked Mona’s confident attitude a question. As soon as the word ‘stars’ was mentioned, her eyes lit up, and then she mumbled, cleared her voice, and asked in her characteristic bravado tone.

“Hmm, then does this mean that the other side of the star can be observed even when the wings of the abyss are not covering the heavens and the earth?”

Of course, Mona naturally did not understand what he meant. She seemed a little embarrassed and asked back, tilting her head.

“Wings of the Abyss… what?”

“I’m sorry, Mona. “The lady is saying, ‘Is it possible to see astrology even if it’s not at night?'”

As always, it was Oz who offered Mona a helping hand when she was in trouble. Oz conveyed Fissle’s meaning in her polite and grave voice. It was only then that Mona said, ah. She nodded her head in understanding.

“That’s right, the stars are just obscured even during the day, but they stay where they are, so of course you can see them. However, the ley lines here are a bit unstable, so we need to move to a suitable location.”

“Where is that place?”

This time it was Lumine’s question. A question that may seem somewhat rude at first glance, but gets straight to the point. However, she asserted in a haughty and confident tone that Mona did not really care about him.

“‘Temple of Heavenly Wind’.”

At those words, the group was silent for a moment. This was because everyone was guessing in their heads where the ‘Temple of Heavenly Wind’ was. I was the first to think of that location.

My eyebrows narrowed. I asked Mona back in a voice that I didn’t want to believe.

“…… Could it be that it has now become a playground for the Chuchu tribe?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

And Mona’s answer to that was so refreshing.

I could only sigh. How did this request turn out to be a battle every day? It was the moment when I made a promise to myself that I would definitely receive additional compensation.

**

A lot has happened since then.

Not only did I clear out the Chuchu village to make room for the Heavenly Wind Temple, but I also went to Liyue again to check on the patients to get information about the meteorite fragment.

Patients commonly said that they were climbing a place called ‘Snow Mountain’ in their nightmares, and as soon as we heard those words, Paimon and I started shaking for no reason. Because we also had the nightmarish experience of being isolated in the snowy mountains.

However, the ‘snow mountain’ that the people who came into contact with the meteorite fragment did not seem to be the Dragon Spine. This is because when it comes to Dragon Spine, at least a few people might recognize the terrain, but all the patients said it was ‘the first snow mountain they’ve ever seen.’

And also, in their nightmares, they were tormented by the thought that, for some reason, they had to head to the top of the snowy mountain. Through this, we were able to become more confident that the meteorite fragment was a kind of curse medium.

So, while retrieving the meteorite fragment, we return to Mona, who remained at the Heavenly Wind Temple, saying that we need to prepare in advance.

We encountered the Wooindan advance team again. Another incident occurred when recovering pieces of a meteorite. The speculation that there was some kind of relationship between the Wooindan and the meteorite fragment incident was gaining more and more weight.

The tip of the spear shook with the sound of a bang and the sensation of my neck bones being crushed. The ruptured brain, flesh, and blood poured down like a fountain onto the writhing body.

It was the last time. ‘Water gun heavy infantry’, unlike their fat bodies, they were a Wooindan specializing in support. If I left it alone, I would have to heal the wounds of the Woindan and boost their energy to deal with it quickly, but I ended up dealing with it last.

A heavy corpse falls to the ground with a thud. I snapped my fingers in frustration at the blood pouring out. Then the blood slid down to the ground.

My wrist was throbbing. The last time Paimon was attacked by a matchlock guerrilla, he got so excited that he cut his arm with a dagger, and since then, as he has been fighting continuously, the shock is slowly accumulating in his muscles. In fact, Paimon, who had been burned at that time, was fine now, which was funny.

I didn’t like it. This situation where you have to fight the Woindan, the battle that has continued so many times that you don’t even know how many times since you received the request, and even the scar on your wrist.

I clicked my tongue and retracted the spear. This was usually the life of an adventurer, so there was no one to blame. However, I was worried.

Is Wooindan related to these meteorite fragments? I looked at the rock fragment that the Woindan was aiming for, which was emitting a colorful light. This ore, which gave off a suspicious-looking glow at first glance, was the rumored ‘meteorite fragment.’

If the Woindan was aiming for this meteorite fragment, this request was no different from failure. There was no one with the power to deal with the Woindan on their own.

However, there is no way that the Knights of Pebonius, whose leader Barca has not yet returned, can put pressure on the Woindan without clear evidence. It was a tricky problem in many ways.

“Everyone worked hard! “It’s late, so how about we get ready for camping for today?”

I first put aside my worries as Lumine’s words rang out loudly. It was a problem that I couldn’t figure out if I thought about it now. First of all, it was better to convey the information to Mona and share the guesswork.

Since there were two people with ‘God’s eyes’, camping was quite easy. And although Lumine didn’t have the eyes of a god, he was someone who could use elemental powers.

Starting a fire, filling it with water, and increasing firepower with wind. Nothing was difficult. In fact, the reason ‘God’s Eye’ users were preferred was because of these advantages.

On the Tivat continent, where transportation was not developed, camping was essential when traveling long distances. In that case, it was better to hire a God’s Eye user, even if it meant paying a lot of money, to light a fire and fetch water one by one.

Of course, the quality of food eaten while camping did not improve. Today’s meal was a bland meat porridge made by soaking the prepared beef jerky in water and seasoning it with salt and pepper. It wasn’t that delicious, but a meal like this was acceptable at the campsite.

And after finishing the meal, everyone was sitting in front of the bonfire and basking in the fire.

I carefully brought up the topic I had been thinking about. Since we were one team, even if we stopped accepting requests, we needed to exchange information in advance.

“…… “It’s still just a guess, but it seems like the Woindan has a deep connection to this request.”

At my words, Lumine and Fisle’s eyes turned to me. You might think it’s a random story, but when living as an adventurer, taking risk into account and getting out at the right time was also part of the survival rule.

Lumine has only a short experience as an adventurer, so you probably don’t know much about it, and Fissle is always a braggadocious kid, so I was the only one who could bring up such a story. So I made up my mind and said:

“If the Gang of Wolves is the main culprit behind this incident, I think it would be better for us adventurers to leave out.”

There was silence for a moment. Neither Lumine nor Fissle could easily open their mouths. Fissle gulped and swallowed, and Paimon, who must have been tired today, wrapped his legs around my neck and fell asleep with my head in his arms. Since the last time he got hurt, Paimon had been sleeping a lot. He may have been like that because he was in recovery.

In the end, it was Lumine who got lucky. A look of pure doubt appeared on her face.

“…… Why?”

“Because individual strength cannot deal with a group.”

Lumine’s eyebrows narrowed slightly at those words. She let out a moan as if she was thinking about it, and then she asked me back.

“Then what about the people who came into contact with the meteorite fragment?”

“There is nothing we can do, we have no choice but to wait until the Knights of Pevonius or other adventurers find clear evidence and put pressure on the Woin.”

Lumine’s scarlet eyes were focused on me as if nails were nailed down. It felt like an interrogation, so I sighed and averted my gaze.

I wasn’t the only one who felt at ease. People who had not experienced the pain of shivering in the endless cold in the snowy mountains could not understand. There are probably hundreds of people going through that pain.

However, assessing what is possible and what is impossible was the basics of an adventurer. Because taking on an impossible adventure was not courage, it was bravery.

“…… Rumine, I don’t know about you, but the Woindan are scarier than you can imagine. “The leaders called ‘executors’ are monsters that can slaughter hundreds of people by themselves, and they also have excellent organizational skills, so once they are captured, it will be difficult for them to survive on the Tivat continent.”

“I know.”

But Lumine was adamant. In fact, her heart knew it would be like that. Because unlike me, Lumine was the main character.

She would have been able to overcome her adversity. Even if her opponent is a military group that dominates the Tivart continent, in the end, she will carry out and prove her own beliefs. That it was courage, not arrogance.

But, it wasn’t me.

“But that doesn’t mean we can overlook the hundreds of people who are suffering right now. “It may be okay for now, but if the situation is prolonged without proper nutrition, there could be casualties.”

“Lumine.”

Nevertheless, as if to make an excuse, I brought up her name, Lumine. Lumine’s eyes were focused on me without wavering.

I felt a little shabby in front of her straight eyes, so I slightly lowered my gaze at her.

“…… “There is an easy way.”

“It’s not the right way.”

“If it’s hard to handle, you can ignore it.”

“I can’t do that.”

In the end, I gave up trying to persuade her. A sigh escaped her lips, and Lumine, thinking that this was an answer, opened her mouth.

“…… This is also an extension of that, right? “The main character has the main character stage, and the supporting actor has the supporting role stage.”

I lifted the canteen that was hanging from my waist without saying a word. My throat was dry. Lumine’s scarlet gaze seemed to turn into the sun and trap me in the desert.

Lumine slowly raised her body. She said, and she said in a firm tone.

“If you’re going to fall in, then fall out. I don’t blame you. “There is no obligation for anyone to take risks.”

With that, Lumine turned around and headed toward her tent. As if she had nothing more to say. Then she stopped for a moment and glanced at me.

I avoided making eye contact. When I tilted the canteen, it popped and water poured out, soaking my dry throat.

“…… Honestly, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed.”

Hundreds of lives were at stake, and I received a request. But he throws it away and leaves. It was quite irresponsible. I understood what Lumine said. I understood it so thoroughly that I didn’t say anything to Lumine.

However, her cold attitude seemed to somehow reaffirm the distance between me and her. I felt sick.

I tried to keep my distance, but inside I was feeling a little closer to him. Even after Lumine entered the tent, I just sat there basking in the campfire without saying a word.

The one who broke the silence was Fissle, who had been watching the conversation between me and Lumine without saying a word. She let out a yawn and looked at me with slightly sleepy eyes.

“You are always the same. That will not change even if the eternal spring water of the Yuya Pure Land dries up.”

“That’s a compliment, right? Thank you, Fissle.”

Fisle gave me a strange look as I answered while putting kindling into the bonfire. She looked up at the night sky for a moment, and then spoke as if something suddenly occurred to her.

“I remember that when the thousand-year hourglass dropped a few grains, I ascended to the position of observing the Land of Wind. “It was when I and my servant were chasing the beast of destruction that had hidden its claws.”

“…… That’s just a story about when we climbed onto the roof of Mond Castle. “When I was a young chick, I received a request to find a cat.”

Even my scolding did not stop Fisle’s bravado speech. On the contrary, Fissle was a little flattered, so he placed his hand on her heart and began to recite her memories as if he were the speaker of her play.

“No matter how much a wild beast preys on the heart under the moonlight, it cannot hide its true identity from the princess’s wisdom. At that time, she captured the wild beast with a thunderbolt of condemnation.”

I burst out laughing at that distorted memory. I immediately felt the need to correct that statement.

“You were chasing a cat back then, and you fell down the roof and cried. “I still remember it.”

“…… Uh, whatever!”

When Fissle said something embarrassing, she quickly cut me off. Then she muttered, cleared her voice, and went on again.

“After the ordeal of fate, when the abyss of time passed away in the flickering light, I am reminded of the golden offering you gave me.”

“Because you were crying because you were hurt. “It’s the money I gave you to buy ointment.”

I assumed that Fissle would be embarrassed again and cut me off. As usual. But surprisingly, Fissle did not interrupt me. He just got up and suddenly came to my side.

As I was putting in the kindling, I held up a wooden stick and looked blankly at the fire. Emerald eyes, pure white skin, fire shadows. She was a lovely girl.

“…… That’s right.”

Unusually, the girl confessed in such a shy voice. I stared at her for a moment, then gave her a faint smile and turned my gaze back to her campfire.

“At that time, Siwoo was the main character in my world.”

“I am the protagonist of a very small world, and that is temporary.”

“That’s the Siwoo oppa I like.”

I paused again at those words. My eyes turned to Fissle again. Her breath tickling my ear, so close yet so far away.

“…… “Don’t blame yourself too much, and don’t belittle yourself.”

As she said that, the girl walked away from me again. Like a fairy who came to visit in the middle of the night, she left again with a haughty gait. I was afraid that I might not be able to convey her words to her, so she opened her mouth in a hurry.

“Amy!”

And then the emerald eyes turned to me again, but I had nothing to say, so I looked away with a sheepish voice.

“…… Thanks.”

There was no reply. It wasn’t like we needed an answer anyway. And just like that, Fissle left. I picked the kindling with a wooden stick a few more times, but eventually, unable to find a way to vent my frustration, I looked up at the sky.

The night sky was transparent. I let out a long breath and called my partner’s name.

“…… “Paymon.”

Then the guide, who had been pretending to be asleep by resting his chin on my head, finally quietly opened his mouth.

“…… “You knew.”

“Of course, I’m a Paymon expert.”

Paimon let out a light laugh at my words. It seemed absurd. She stretched her arms and placed her arms on top of my head. And again there was no word.

You are probably looking at the night sky like me. I couldn’t see it, but I knew it. Because Paymon was my one and only partner.

How many times have you seen the sky like that? I muttered my honest concerns that I couldn’t possibly share with others.

“…… “What do you want me to do?”

Paimon did not answer immediately. She didn’t say anything, just wrapped her tiny legs around my neck and looked up at the sky. After a while, her mouth quietly opened.

“Well… ….”

Paimon seemed unsure as well, so the ending of her sentence was blurry. But that wasn’t the end. Paimon, who seemed to be gathering her thoughts, hugged my head tightly and cupped my cheek.

“But one thing is certain. “Siwoo is the main character to me too!”

Then, Paimon whispered in my ear. It was a soft and sweet voice that penetrated her heart even more.

“…… So, do whatever you want. “If the path is wrong, I will guide you again.”

The night was so deep that day. Me, Lumine, Fissle, and Paymon too. We were in one place, with one problem. As the night deepened, our worries grew deeper.

**

At the ‘Temple of Heavenly Wind’, the sanctuary of the old god, now only a ruin, we were anxiously looking at someone.

The name of the beauty with dark blue hair is Mona. She is a skilled astrologer and was trying astrology again based on the information we had obtained.

Her occult pattern was drawn and crossed a few times, and Mona nodded as if she understood. Immediately, the geometric pattern that had risen in blue light dispersed into a halo of light.

“I found out, the identity of that ‘meteorite piece’ is someone’s ‘Star of Destiny’. “It is also the fateful star of a man named ‘Leonard’, an adventurer from 2,000 years ago.”

“2,000 Years ago?!”

Paimon was surprised by the revealed truth and shouted that. He deserved it. 2,000 Years ago was a long time ago. It was said that this was even before the wind god Barbatos changed the climate and topography of Mond. It was truly a story of a time that is difficult to find even in history books.

However, even with those words, Lumine’s doubts did not seem to be resolved yet. “Hmm,” She said, lost in thought. Unresolved doubts flowed from her mouth.

“But why the Star of Destiny?”

“I don’t know about that, but… ….”

Mona trailed off as if she still didn’t have enough information to find the answer to that question. But a thought immediately crossed my mind.

“…… What if it’s the Wooindan?”

At my question, the eyes of the group turned to me. I asked again, feeling an ominous premonition.

“Is it simple to drop the star of destiny, that of a person from thousands of years ago? “I think there should be at least a national organization.”

“That’s right, if it’s to the point where it’s done in secret… hmm… ….”

Mona seemed to be in thought for a moment, narrowed her brows and swallowed her sleep. But that time did not last long. This was because Mona’s brilliant mind soon completed her calculations and came up with her answer.

“…… “Of course, there is no other group than the Wooindan.”

“Damn it.”

A curse came out of her mouth. It was something that only the Woindan could do, and every time a piece of a meteorite was recovered, there was a conflict with the Woindan.

This was confirmed. Wooindan was behind this. We just don’t know how big it will be.

“For some reason, every time I retrieve a piece of a meteorite, the Woindan sticks to it.”

“…… “That much can be considered almost certain.”

The group seemed to have sensed the mood from the moment I moved around with a nervous gait, but Mona seemed to focus on one problem and not pay attention to the rest.

She was nodding her head to herself, as if my words had solved her mystery. However, at my next words, she could not help but look at me in surprise.

“Like I said last time, I’m getting out of this.”

“…… Ugh? A solution is now in sight?”

Mona asked me with her eyes wide, but my voice was firm. It didn’t make sense if the solution was right around the corner and the Friends of Friends were involved.

Safety was the most important to me. Come out, Paymon. The ship I was riding on on the sea of the world was too small to bear the aftermath of confronting the Wooindan.

“It’s the Wooindan… That group of friends! Everyone, think calmly.”

I then looked at Lumine, Mona, and Fissle. Mona looked like she didn’t even think that the Wooindan was a threat in the first place, and Fissul quietly avoided my gaze. And when it came to Lumine, she didn’t need to say anything.

Lumine’s face was more determined than mine. She flatly refused to listen to me.

“I will do it.”

At those words, Fissle shook her head as if there was nothing she could do. She sighed softly.

“Hmph, I can’t help it. It would also be the princess’s job to save criminals who couldn’t even figure out what to do in the face of fate…….”

“Good judgment, lady.”

I looked at Mona one last time. However, she said that she was asking questions about everything.

“I am Mona, who will become the best astrologer someday. At best, it’s just like Wooindan…….”

But that was before the words were even spoken. A tinkling sound rang.

The gaze of the group turned towards the place where the sound came from as if by instinct. Standing there was a delicate boy with dark blue hair.

It was a strangely large hat. Red strings and unknown magic decorations were hanging on both sides of the hat, which was twice the diameter of the head. He was a typical Inazuma person, including his clothes.

We had already met him. Last time at Liyue Stone Gate, he was the one who helped a fallen worker. He was ‘Inazuma’s tramp’.

“hahahaha, are you chatting? “Can’t I join in too?”

Fisl and Lumine looked surprised at his sudden appearance. It was worth it. The relationship we met in Liyue suddenly continued all the way to the Temple of Heavenly Wind.

But as soon as I saw him, I felt a cold sensation pass through his chest again. Mona looked at her, then lowered her head and quietly whispered and asked.

“…… “Who is that person?”

“The person I met at Liyue Stone Gate. “They introduced me as ‘Inazuma’s tramp.'”

While Mona and I were chatting, Inazuma’s tramp had already arrived right before us. Lumine took the lead, and Fissle muttered as if she was a little surprised.

“Huh? “It’s you again, ‘Inazuma’s tramp.'”

But the moment I was talking with Mona, I was seized by a strange intuition.

But why did you come to the Heavenly Wind Temple? This was a place only adventurers wandered around, and there was no reason for vagabonds to come.

And again, why didn’t I notice? How and when did it come to me?

With those thoughts in mind, I turned my attention to ‘Inazuma’s Vagrant’.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

A purple light passed through dark blue eyes whose depth was unknown. A crackling, resonating sound hits my ears.

It was then that Mona reacted. The girl who was whispering to me turned her eyes to ‘Inazuma’s tramp’ again, and her eyes widened in surprise.

But it was already too late. Inazuma’s tramp was naturally extending her hand to Lumine as if to shake hands, but a purple glow was already forming on her hand.

It was a surprise attack. Lumine and Fissle, who were both shocked and happy by the sudden appearance, did not even notice. Fissle spoke smugly.

“This princess is now… ….”

“Avoid immediately!”

I shouted that and Mona drew her magic circle in the air. Seeing that, Inazuma’s tramp’s face distorted for a moment.

He clicked his tongue and immediately moved his hand, which was covered in his electric charge. A simple hand snatch.

But in his hand, a purple blade had already appeared. When Lumine was blankly watching her hand, I had already thrown her body.

He pushed Lumine away and tried to block her by raising her spear.

With a crackling sound, a purple hand blade is embedded in the side. The spear barely managed to prevent the hand from digging into the intestines, but the capital that was stuck on the side was constantly bleeding out a purple electric charge.

I felt like I wanted to scream right now from the pain.

But I endured it. Because it’s unsightly to scream. Instead, she glared at him with bloodshot eyes.

“…… Oh, you blocked it?”

I didn’t like the way people looked at me as if I was being fair, so I gritted my teeth.

“Who the hell are you…?” ….”

But this was before my question was finished. We heard the sound of water droplets bursting, and then a film of water wrapped around us as if enveloping us.

At that sight, ‘Inazuma’s tramp’ took a step back as if embarrassed, but soon struck again. But it was a futile attempt.

The capital split the air. It feels as if space and space are separated.

He clicked his tongue once and spoke as if it was a gift.

“Okay, we’ll meet again soon, so I’ll let you know.”

And then the water film narrowed its scope again, dragging me somewhere. This feeling of falling far, far, into the abyss.

At the end, I heard a name.

“I am ‘Scaramouche’ of the Wooindan… Well then, let’s meet again next time.”

In my dark consciousness, I finally remembered that name.

‘Scaramouche’, 6th in rank as an enforcer of the Order of Wondrous.

It was a monster that I couldn’t even face.

As expected, it wasn’t like I was tangled up with the Gang of Friends… While thinking that, I lost my mind.

**

I regained consciousness with a sighing sound. The lungs expand and contract repeatedly, transporting oxygen to every corner of the body. My clouded mind gradually became clearer, and my sleeping senses awakened one by one.

The first thing I regained was vision. This was inside a tent. Why on earth?

The next thing I regained was my sense of smell and hearing. A crying sound was heard. And the acrid smell of medicine.

The last thing that struck me was the sense of touch. A terrible pain rose up through the skin of my side and all the way to the top of my head. This feeling of a white thunderbolt traveling up my spinal cord.

The pain alone made my chin tremble. I gritted my teeth, but I couldn’t hold back the moan that escaped.

“Off… Damn it!”

In the end, I cursed and squeezed the affected area. Then I finally felt my nerves calming down. When the pain gradually subsides and becomes more bearable.

I found two people sweating and looking at me in shock. One, of course, is my partner, Paymon. His eyes were bulging, and it seemed like the owner of the crying sound he had just heard was Paimon.

And the other one is a beauty with dark blue hair wearing a cone hat. She studied my expression with a serious expression for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief, as if she was at least relieved. And he said hello to me.

“Are you awake? “I woke up earlier than expected.”

“Siwoo!”

Paimon fell on top of me and hugged me, and started to shed tears again. He seemed to be very worried. It would be worth it.

I felt the affected area hurt every time Paimon moved, but in the end, I stroked Paimon’s head with a bitter smile. It was the minimum condition to appease her.

“…… Don’t worry, Paimon. I’m fine.”

“But, huh, don’t do it…” ….”

I looked at Paimon, who couldn’t stop crying, with eyes that couldn’t stop me, and then I shifted my gaze to Mona.

Mona seemed to be in the middle of reading her book. I asked her.

“What happened?”

“Your prediction was correct. The Wooindan was behind this incident… That, too, was planned by someone bigger than anyone could imagine. Executor of the Woindan.”

When I heard those words, I looked down at my side. The bandages were wrapped, and although I could feel the pain, I could feel the flesh growing properly. It seemed like he had received adequate healing. Maybe I should have gone to the cathedral in Mond.

As the pain rose again, I swallowed the pain and asked.

“What about Lumine and Fissle?”

“I went to solve a request.”

“…… What?”

I frowned at Mona’s calm voice. However, Mona calmly began to tell the story of the time I was asleep, as if she was asking me everything.

“After you fell, a huge meteorite fell and victims began to appear one after another. Then I discovered where the main body of the Star of Destiny, a person named Leonard, had fallen. The snowy mountain in that nightmare had already been submerged in the sea, leaving only a small reef. “It will be there.”

After hearing those words, I placed my hands on the ground to raise my upper body, but immediately gritted my teeth as I felt a sharp pain in my side. Mona said as she sighed, as if telling her not to do anything stupid.

“I was helping those kids, but they were so worried about you that I set up a temporary tent and took care of you. “There was no hospitalization fee to leave him at the cathedral.”

That’s a very realistic story. I wanted to make a joke, but the matter was too urgent for that. I endured the pain and raised my upper body. Paimon, who was crying in my arms, looked up at me as if asking what was going on.

The next words that came out of my mouth were shouting. I immediately raised my voice.

“Are you crazy?! The opponent is the enforcer of the Woindan. “But you sent those two?”

“I know, but…” “Because those two were trying to go.”

I shook my head. Nonsense. I grabbed the spear that happened to be sitting next to my bed. Then, using it as a cane, he tried to force himself up while groaning.

That was around the time I woke up.

“…… “What are you trying to do?”

Mona asked me as if she was purely questioning. Paimon also looked dumbfounded. But before I could even understand their questions, I got angry.

“Now those two have walked into limbo, so are you telling me to stay still?”

Mona and Paimon’s eyes went blank at those words. The two made eye contact in the air as if they didn’t understand what was going on, and then looked at me as if they couldn’t believe it.

I frowned at her, irritated by that sight, but Mona still had a dazed look on her face. Then she cleared her throat, as if she had finally come to her senses.

“…… Yeah, really? I didn’t know you would say that. Uh, whatever, stop it.”

“What do you mean?”

“What on earth are you going to do with that body?”

I questioned Mona angrily, but had no choice but to remain silent as she continued.

I looked down at my body again. The wound on his side was terrible. Although I was slightly better, I still had difficulty moving because of the intense pain. And perhaps because I hadn’t woken up for a few days, my nutrition wasn’t good, and my muscles were still stiff, so it was painful to straighten up.

It was definitely the worst. Only then did I feel the opposite s*x slowly raise its head.

Okay, what am I going to do?

Anyway, there’s nothing I can do. The moment I thought of that, my nerves relaxed, and I slowly sat down.

Mona sighed when she saw me. She told me

“…… If you take oral medicine, you will feel better, just wait a little. “I’ll gather up the medicine and come back.”

And Mona got up and walked out of the tent. It seemed like she was thinking of brewing some medicine. I stared at the spot she had left for a moment, and then I heard her sigh.

My hand went towards Paimon. I said, wiping away the small tear stains from her eyes.

“You were very worried, right? “I’m sorry, Paimon.”

“…… Yeah, I was so worried. “No matter how much I call, there’s no response!”

I smiled bitterly at Paimon’s pampering. I had nothing to say today. When I wordlessly pulled Paimon, Paimon fell into my arms.

“I will never do something like that again. “It was too dangerous.”

At those words, Paimon buried his face in my arms without saying a word. Even thinking about it again made me cry. I gently stroked her head.

It was then that a small voice came out of my arms.

“…… “What are you going to do now?”

It was a voice filled with tears. In response to Paimon’s question, I just patted her head without saying a word.

“Siwoo, are you okay like this?”

“…… “Paymon.”

I quietly called her name. At first glance, the voice sounded sorrowful. I told her.

“You heard it too. Even if I go, what can I do with this body? And, your safety and mine are the most important to me.”

“…… I know.”

Paymon’s answer was quiet. But that voice had a strange magic, so I stopped stroking it and looked down at Paimon for a moment.

Her eyes contained me. Black resembling the universe, that’s why I liked looking at the night sky. Because it resembles Paimon’s eye color.

“For me, Siwoo is the most precious thing… Still, I am Siwoo’s guide.”

I didn’t say anything. I just waited for Paimon’s words. Because it was my role to listen to her sincerity.

“A guide is not about finding a safe path. Sometimes it’s a dangerous road, sometimes it’s a road with nothing… “The path that a guide guides is always the path that the person being guided wants to take.”

The path I want to take. When was the last time you thought about something like that? Because it was quite a long time ago, I was lost in the past for a moment.

I picked up a spear to survive, I became an adventurer to survive, and I have lived until now to survive. A life that was nothing more or less.

So there was no path I wanted to take. Because I only had one way to go. To survive, to live, to survive.

I thought it was natural since I was a supporting actor. Yes, I am not the main character of this world.

“I don’t want to be Si-woo’s burden. Siwoo will become a companion who walks the path he wants to take… That’s why I’m asking.”

But why am I here?

With blood flowing, he walked shakily and tried to force his motionless body to grab the pole and raise himself up.

Why on earth, such a question crossed Lumine’s face. Fizzle’s face, Oz, and Paymon.

“…… Siwoo, what do you want to do?”

I was about to answer, but then closed my mouth. There was a long silence, but it was difficult to decide on an answer. Then I suddenly remembered one night.

It was a day when the moonlight was pouring down in Mangseo’s guesthouse.

“Paimon… My answer doesn’t change. “My safety and yours are the most important to me.”

At those words, Paymon bowed his head without saying a word. As if he thought it might be so. But I couldn’t stop talking at that point.

“…… But then I remembered something I had forgotten.”

Paimon’s head raises again. I felt like she was a cute little animal, so I stroked her hair with a faint smile.

“Last time, I lent Lumine some bandages. “It’s expensive, so I have to get it back.”

A luxurious cloth wrapped around Lumine’s ankles. That’s where my thoughts went.

It was nonsense. I was an adventurer living a life of poverty, but I was not that stingy. In the first place, it was a bandage voluntarily applied to a sick person. I wasn’t a person with enough pride to get it back.

Paymon probably knows all about that. Nevertheless, Paymon

“…… Yes, then there’s nothing we can do!”

, He just answered while smiling. In the end, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

So I grabbed the spear again. For the first time, not to live. By my own will.

**

‘Musk Reef’ was the name of the island that Mona told me that Lumine and Fissle were headed to. It was a place you had to go further east from the high coastal cliff called ‘Carapace of the Oath’, and she said that the corner island used to be a high snow mountain.

An adventurer thousands of years ago wanted to conquer that snowy mountain. However, he ultimately failed to conquer it, and his wish turned into resentment and fell into pieces of a meteorite. It was Lumine and Fissle’s mission to face that last wish and fulfill it.

However, as I stood on the Carapace of the Oath, I could see several ships in the distance.

It was not a big ship. Small ships. However, I did not have the slightest idea that the people on board would be friendly to Lumine or Fissle.

At first glance, it was a ship belonging to the Wooindan. I smiled bitterly when I saw that.

Snezhnaya, since you can’t control the wings of the wind properly, you had no choice but to go by boat.

It was luck for me. Because I was able to move while dealing with follow-up units. At the same time, I adjusted the wings of the burning wind for the first time in a long time.

To be honest, I wasn’t confident because it had been so long, but what I was doing was so reckless in the first place that I didn’t have much fear.

As I was about to crawl out of the tent holding the spear, Mona sighed and placed a condition.

“There is one way. Instead, we need to take the time.”

I promised I would. Mona surprisingly took care of me a lot. Among them were painkillers. I swallowed the bottle of painkiller without hesitation.

My body would not stiffen due to pain while moving. Of course, that didn’t mean my physical condition would improve, but it would still be helpful in battle. If you have to fight with an injured body anyway, shouldn’t you at least feel like you’re not hurt?

Paimon asked while watching me adjust the wings.

“How about preparations?”

“It’s the worst, my physical condition is a mess.”

Hearing my words, Paimon turned his dissatisfied eyes towards me. Soon, words criticizing me flowed from her mouth.

“At times like that, you have to say it’s ready even if you’re not ready!”

“Where are the lies between us? “You know it when you see it.”

I said that, but I actually had no intention of complaining just because I was in the worst shape.

If I had planned to wait for the best, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place. While thinking that, I took a deep breath.

“…… “Paymon.”

“Huh?”

And then I slowly got into position. It runs, jumps, and glides on its wings. And it falls on Wooindan’s boat.

It was a simple plan, so it was more dangerous than that.

“I mean, I have to pay back what was done to me.”

Paimon tilted his head as if wondering what I was talking about, but accepted what I said for now.

“Yes, I know that well! “But why?”

I chuckled and laughed. It was because I knew how nonsensical what I was about to say was.

“So, please pray that I can come back after giving that Woindan enforcer a blow.”

And before I could hear Paimon’s answer, I strengthened my step. The superhuman leg strength strengthened by the eyes of God immediately carried me away like the wind. And at the edge of the cliff, my body flew into the sky and my wings spread.

The sound of wind passing by. I felt a heavy resistance as I glided down. It was as if something like you would dare defy the laws of physics and fly in the sky, but it was okay.

All Mond people learn Wings of Wind. It was cultured. Of course, wings of the wind were also a requirement for joining the Mond Adventurer’s Guild.

It didn’t take long for it to fall onto Wooindan’s ship. When the Uindan’s ships got close to Musk Reef, I caught up with them.

What happened next was simple. The wings of the wind fold and fall straight down.

High-altitude gliding in the sky was something that was absolutely impossible for an ordinary human being. It was because I couldn’t withstand the shock.

But I was the owner of a superhuman body with the ‘eyes of God.’ With the spear blade down, my body attacked one of the Uindan’s ships.

A heavy impact sound like a bang followed by a shock that made my legs feel numb. Even though I took painkillers, my side hurts. But it was worth the sacrifice.

The shock wave waves around the ship like a wave. Due to the sudden shock, the ship started shaking randomly, and the friends on board were so embarrassed that they couldn’t even keep their balance.

“What, what?!”

Unfortunately, that was the final death of the Wooindan that was right next to me. The blade of my spear curved and slit Uindan’s neck.

Wooindan held his uvula with both hands as if he couldn’t believe it, but there was no way he could stop the blood that was gushing out. A stream of water began to form on my window.

The members of the Wooin group were unable to maintain their balance and were kneeling in a hesitant posture, and when they saw me, they were momentarily dazed. However, Wooindan was not like the idiots I had dealt with so far.

They immediately came to their senses and started yelling. The remaining ships are about three. It was to announce the appearance of the enemy there.

“The enemy! A surprise attack from above… Keek!”

However, when you shout loudly, a gap appears, and I did not miss that gap. My spear was fired in a straight line. It was a javelin. Wooindan, who had no idea that he would throw his weapon from the beginning, had no choice but to end his life with it.

But that wasn’t the end. A stream of water was swirling around my spear that had pierced Uindan’s head. The next steps were always the same.

A stream of high-pressure water exploded with a loud bang. Brain fluid, flesh, bone, and blood scatter and fall in all directions. Along with the sound of a crackling sound, the smell of blood and a unique warmth filled the deck.

By that time, one member of the Wooin group had finished aiming. A guerrilla with a matchlock gun, he was aiming at me and fired immediately. Of course, I had no intention of letting it happen.

My body rolled on the ground as if thrown, and the blood sprinkled on the deck spread rhythmically from side to side in accordance with the rocking hull. Since it wasn’t a very big ship to begin with, there were at most five or six people on each ship.

My hand grasped the spear that was rolling on the deck. I immediately struck the blood-soaked deck with my spear.

Whoosh, an ominous sound rang out. Blood spikes bloomed like flowers everywhere. The three members of the Wooin Group who were in range died without even being able to scream.

“What, what!”

The last remaining survivor, the matchlock guerrilla, shouted like that in panic. He tried to point the gun at me, but it was impossible to pinpoint my location because everything was already covered in blood. The moment when I was in his sight.

Sigh, my spear pierced his heart. Literally in an instant. The musketeers did not have the ability to respond to the spearman’s strike, which rushed at him from as close a angle as possible in the gap between the bloody awls.

The matchlock gun guerrilla aimed at me and tried to pull the trigger with trembling hands, but when I roughly pulled out the spear, he ended up coughing up blood and falling down. Rigor mortis triggered the trigger. It was a meaningless shooting. The sound of bang rang in vain like a funeral bell.

All at once, the Wooin group couldn’t help but feel something unusual at this point.

A loud shout rang out. ‘Musk Reef’ is literally a ‘reef’, so the space available for landing was very narrow. Therefore, ships approaching Maersk Reef were placed at a fairly close distance with the intention of landing.

So the shouting sound could be heard quite clearly. It was so loud that my ears were buzzing.

“I am the owner of the ‘Eye of God’! He is not an easy guy! Raise the alert level!”

“Where on earth did this guy fall from?”

I hid myself among the bloody holes that had not yet broken down. And he aimed for the nearest ship. A spear is held, positioned, and then immediately thrown.

It was a worthwhile skill to practice to add a sense of unexpectedness in addition to the unique ability to remotely manipulate blood. The trajectory drawn by the thrown spear inevitably took another life.

And then again, binge drinking. The ship shook again and I took advantage of it to run. After that, the leap that follows from the run-up.

If it weren’t for the Eyes of God, it would have been an unthinkable distance, but the enhanced leg strength made it possible to freely run between ships that were somewhat closer.

When my body fell with a thud, the hull shook again as if it had been hit by a cannonball. The Wooindan screamed. Not being able to balance was a fatal weakness.

I also had a hard time keeping my balance, but it was less than them because I knew in advance where the impact would be. I immediately rolled over and grabbed the spear that had fallen on the hull.

‘Ice Gun Heavy Infantry’ and ‘Lightning Hammer Assault Unit’, especially the Lightning Hammer Assault Unit, were very difficult opponents. The electric hammer charger roared, and then immediately surrounded his body with a purple film. It was one of the war equipment that Snezhnaya was proud of.

Elemental shield. It was impossible to penetrate that lightning element with the water element I had. So I set up the bloody awl again.

With a crunching sound, the body of the unfortunate Wooindan within range was lifted up into the sky. The thorn stuck in the neck was lifted up as if the corpse was on display. The bodies of the Lightning Hammer Assault Troops and Ice Gun Heavy Infantry flinched at the shocking sight.

That was the gap. I threw the spear I was holding. However, as if they were not going to be attacked twice, the Lightning Hammer Assault Team struck down the javelin using their elemental shield. And then it started charging towards the direction the spear came from.

Ice gun heavy infantry also aims in that direction. That was a mistake. I ran out of the square I had hidden in before and rushed at the ice gun heavy infantry.

The ice gun heavy infantry pointed his gun at me with startled eyes. As if he never imagined that he would rush in without a spear. However, adventurers do not carry only one weapon.

A dagger was taken out of my arms. And just before the ice element spewed out from the muzzle, I reversed the dagger and plunged it into the uvula of the ice gun heavy infantryman. A narrow time difference.

“Keueh, kueh, kueh…” ….”

The ice gun heavy infantry made a blood boiling sound a few times and then fell limp. The Lightning Hammer Chargers were panicking and charging in my direction again. So, I went behind the ice heavy infantry and placed the bodies of the ice heavy infantry like a shield.

And a gun that emits ice elements. As the ice element spewed out like fog, a crackling sound rang out. It was the sound of the lightning and ice elements colliding, and the sound of the lightning elemental shield that the Lightning Hammer Assault Unit had relied on collapsing.

“Hey, this guy!”

Cracks begin to form in the lightning element shield. Actually, that was enough. I caused a stream of water to hit the dagger that had hitherto been driven into the ice heavy infantryman’s uvula.

Blood overflows again with a popping sound. The Lightning Hammer Assault Team then tried to pull back in panic, but it was already too late.

Liquid seeps into every crevice. The elemental shield was no exception. Fear flashed in the eyes of the Lightning Hammer Assault Troopers.

“Oh, no!”

He screamed as blood dripped down, but that was all. With a thud, the head of the Lightning Hammer Assault Unit was bent at a bizarre angle. This meant that the bloody blade had even severed the muscle.

Thump, the body falls. How many times have you created a corpse like that? One boat, then two, then three, and finally the fourth.

At first, my enemies were taken aback by my abilities, which they had never seen before, but they soon got used to it and I had no choice but to suffer injuries as well.

My body was a mess. The wound on his side had already burst a long time ago. The only consolation was that the damage suffered by the Wooindan was more devastating than mine.

The sea water, which had once been a heavy blue color, was suddenly stained an ominous blood color. Dead bodies were floating, and fragments of brain matter and flesh were also floating occasionally.

If someone with a weak stomach saw it, it would be a sight that would make them vomit. However, the two survivors who remained until the end were people who had killed too many people to be tormented.

Me and a special agent of the Wooindan called ‘Debt Processor’.

He was the leader of this late unit, qualitatively different from the advance unit he had faced so far.

“…… “It’s great work, it deserves praise.”

A humming sound, like scratching the neck, echoes through the mask. Their identities are completely kept secret, so they cannot even use their voices.

Those were the elites raised by the Wooindan. A blade of blades forged to exclude Snezhnaya’s enemies while carrying out secret missions.

“But that doesn’t stop there. “It’s an interesting ability, but it doesn’t work with all blood.”

I smiled in front of him. That sounds obvious. If that were the case, the debt processor would have already been killed by manipulating the blood in his body.

The blood I can manipulate is blood mixed with the water element I created. I took a deep breath and spat out mocking words.

“Well, you realized that early on.”

The debt processor didn’t say anything. However, with an eerie sound, my body dissolved into thin air. A completely invisible technique used only by specially trained agents of the Order of the Wondrous.

The rotating blades of fire are thrown. I hit some with my spear, while others grazed my arms and legs. Some of them had some deep wounds.

But I didn’t move. The debt processor reappeared with a mocking tone.

“Why are you doing that? “Are you tired already?”

Of course I was exhausted. It feels like my body won’t move at all. It felt like my muscles were solid blocks of stone.

Furthermore, the enemy was an opponent that one did not know whether or not one could defeat even if one was in perfect condition. Moreover, the effects of surprise and surprise are now over. Taking those things into consideration, the debt processor deserved to be killed.

But again, I burst into laughter again. I squeezed out my voice.

“…… Hey.”

The debt processor dissolved into thin air again. It seemed like he decided there was no need to talk to me. It was a reasonable decision, but he was truly rude.

How dare you kick my consideration away? I raised my spear high. However, ensure that the tip of the spear points downward.

“Do you like playing in the water?”

And silence. When I tried to slash the spear with all my might, the debt processor, who realized my intention, hurriedly threw the flaming blade.

“…… No!”

I twisted my body slightly, but the blade stuck in my forearm. Sick. Hot. But more than that, I laughed.

A loud bang rang out. It was the biggest binge drinking binge I’ve ever had. I did my best, so it was worth it.

The ship splits in half. The shattered ship was scattered, and the debt processor struggling in the water had no choice but to leave traces, no matter how transparent it was.

More than anything, this sea water. This sea water, which had already become dark with the spray I had created and the blood of Wooindan, was the solution I had been waiting for until the end.

Blood is scattering. On a wooden plank that had fallen from the deck, an awl of blood sticking out of the seawater pierced the debt handler’s neck. He was struggling and struggling, clutching his pierced neck. It was amazing vitality.

“Ah, no matter how big, big, big, still… “Kek!”

I walked on the surface of the water, making a platform of blood. Lift up the window and carry it. It felt like every muscle and nerve was screaming.

However, I took great effort to stand confidently, taking a breath, in front of the debt processor. The eyes inside his mask were burning with deep hatred.

“Ji, the executive officer is there, keek, keek…” He… you… ….”

But the words could not continue any further. With a ‘thud’ sound, the bloody awl breaks down. Blood poured out uncontrollably from the penetrating wound on the debt processor’s neck.

It was a sight where life was flowing out. The debt processor struggled until the end. He stretched out his hand toward me, but in the end he was unable to grab me and died.

I looked at him with unimpressed eyes. Executor, yes. That was my goal.

The blue jewel hanging on my waist trembled. Although God’s eyes were strained to their limit, the amazing miracle granted only to those chosen by God was still effective.

When sea water gathers and falls like a bomb and explodes.

Waves rose with a heavy sound. The wooden plank I was riding on was pushed away by the wave. We move forward like that, and before we know it, we’re at the beach.

There was a loud bang and a splash of water. The eyes of the Wooin group, who were confronting each other on the beach with their weapons drawn, immediately focused on me. And there it was.

A beautiful girl with pale golden hair and scarlet eyes. And even a girl with emerald green eyes and an eyepatch and her servant, a crow.

The two were so surprised that they were looking at me with wide eyes. The attitude was much more friendly than that of the Wooindan.

Yes, we have arrived. It was so far and difficult, but I was finally able to catch up to the stage where the story continued.

However, it seemed like the Friends of the Woof did not want to care much about my feelings. They all had wary faces. It didn’t take long before one of them couldn’t take it anymore.

“What a bastard!”

When I heard that, I let out a light laugh. Perhaps because the laughter was getting on their nerves, Wooindan’s vigilance became even stronger.

A truly stereotypical line and an obvious response. Yes. This world is made up of many supporting characters and extras.

I thought for a moment about what to say. Mr. Cyrus once told me what to say in times like this.

Ah, yes.

“Me?”

If you think about it, it was always like that.

I was not the main character of this world. I have always stumbled down the path of life, rolling on the ground, tearing my skin, and bleeding. The blood stains were my footprints, and the scar marks were the path I had walked.

Even now, look. My torn skin and body drenched in blood. There were two fractures, one penetrating wound, and countless stab wounds. My body had to endure countless injuries and sacrifices in order to struggle, climb, and, at best, get on stage.

Just to be a supporting actor. Life is cruel like this. But that’s why it was life, and because it’s been that way, isn’t it me?

Yes, so I am.

“…… ‘Bloodiness’.”

As I said that, I smiled the wildest smile I could. It was a bluff. Acting to not be intimidated in front of so many supporting actors, extras, and the main character.

Today, I will leave blood stains on this stage.
