3 Rounds by Myself

27 – Hidden Quest (5)

Papa papak!

At the same time, a series of rupture sounds were heard.

Casting Dead Crying, with blue lights in your eyes,

The body of the head of the guard, who was descending menacingly as he thrust his sword down toward Dihart, disappeared without a trace.

‘Is that the head of security at once?’

Siwoon just watched the scene with surprised eyes.

The body of the head of security was torn apart and disappeared without a shape, and the armor he was wearing was cut into very small pieces and was scattered on the ground in small fragments.

“Whoa.”

A sigh filled with unreasonableness flowed from Diethart’s mouth. When the power in his hand was released, the spear fell from his hand and fell to the ground.

And then he sat down as if his strength had been exhausted.

It took less than a second for the head of security’s body to become the same as the shape of the air.

Normal people would not have been able to catch that slash just now, but Shiwun could see with his own eyes the scene where the slashes unfolded in a splendid way.

‘Did you say it was the day of the king?’

A while ago.

As Dihart uttered the skill’s trigger word, the air around him changed and a storm roared.

… And,

Dihart grabbed the spear like lightning, and blue lines spread out around his body.

Dihart drew his spear along the blue sword line, cut, swung, and slashed it like lightning. At the same time, the head of the guard’s body had been torn apart by the blade of the spear.

‘Immediately after spearing, I saw a human figure in Diehard’s spear.’

That’s right.

After Dihart finished his spear, he saw the shape of a roaring man.

.

The true identity of that shape is right!

It was the best swordsman in name and reality that wielded the old continent like a devil, and it was the face of King Dernhard.

‘It was a killer technique…. As expected, he was the captain of the guards of the Balkas continent.’

Dihart, the one who guarded the emperor of the Balkas continent at the forefront.

He had a past where he had established himself as a reliable being like the light of the Balkas continent,

Now that he has been crumbled by an unfair false accusation, it was the moment when he was imprinted as a fearsome and threatening being to the soldiers of the Balkas continent!

When Siwoon is soaked in admiration and is stunned.

Dihart raises his head and pulls his spear out of the ground again! Has come

Chuck!

Dihart aimed the blade of his spear precisely at Shiwun’s neck.

“Now, wait a minute.”

For a moment, Siwoon’s body stiffened at his sudden action.

If the blade of the spear were directed toward Siwoon’s neck just one centimeter longer, the flesh on Siwoon’s nape would be covered in blood.

‘I expected it.’

Shiwoon remained rigid, and he noticed that he expected it even though he was not moving.

And. Naturally, Park Tae-seok’s sonorous voice came to my mind.

-Dihart is unconditional! The time will come for you, the hunter, to point the spear at your neck. Then, you have to convince him. However, there are conditions. You should have shown your human side to Diehart before the timing came for him to aim the spear. The answer is that he dies on the spot. There is no way….

‘I already showed my human side earlier. I risked my life to protect Diethart, so it’s the Sam I showed you accurately.’

After that, the thought continued.

‘Now is the right time.’

The timing to aim the spear!

‘The next thing Park Tae-seok said….’

I rummaged through his head and recalled the details of the strategy.

Taesok’s voice came to mind.

-Come on! Here are some tips on how to get out of that timing.

I have to persuade him verbally.

Dihart is a person who feels strong emotions in just six words.

The six words are these.

‘Courage’, ‘Loyalty’, ‘Forgiveness’, ‘Valkas’, ‘Trust’, ‘Honor’.

Park Tae-seok’s strategy was perfect.

Tae-seok must have completed this quest only once, but even Si-woon did not understand that he knew it as if he had attacked it several times.

There must be a secret to that complete capture.

‘Anyway.’

While Siwoon recalled Taeseok’s voice, Die Hart stared at Siwoon and slowly opened his mouth.

“…… Who are you?”

“I am a Hunter.”

“Hunter?”

Dihart, with an expressionless face, looked at Siwoon from head to toe.

Dihart, from his face to his whole body, was covered with the blood of the guards who had just fought to death.

“Why are you wearing that wild boar mask?”

“I am an F-rank Hunter. I had to hide my face from the guards in order to help you. Because if my face is known to the country they belong to, my life as a hunter is over.”

“A Class F Hunter?”

Dihart’s expressionless face subtly changed.

His expression slightly showed that he was a little surprised.

Dihart was surprised.

If you’re an F-rank hunter, aren’t you the lowest-rank beginner hunter?

To think that such a Hunter could stand up against twenty or so guards alone, with such courage.

Even so, Diehart didn’t seem to have any intention of removing the spear he had stuck to Siwoon’s nape.

Siwoon thought.

‘Courage, Loyalty, Forgiveness, Valkas, Honor, Trust? I’ll try to use those words.’

“……….”

Dihart was silently looking at Siwoon with his eyes strained.

Shiwoon glanced at the spear aimed at his neck, then slightly moved his body aside to avoid cutting his throat with the blade of the spear.

Then he opened his mouth.

“I know that you were a wonderful captain of the guards of the continent of ‘Balcas’. Even though by the wicked, I had no choice but to lay down all the ‘honor’ that was inevitably held in my hands, right? I know your painful story, and I risked my life to help you.”

Siwoon paused his words for a moment and looked up at Dihart’s face.

His eyes slowly… Was about to shake

Siwoon carefully opened his mouth again.

“You were a person full of ‘courage’. The Emperor must have loved you too. However, in the current situation, the emperor who turned away from himself would hate it, well, what should I do? The situation has already happened, and it can’t be undone….”

Dihart. His eyes were clearly shaking, and he began to grow even more furious.

“… I respect you for serving the country and emperor of Balkas with all your ‘loyalty’. That’s why I helped you with the ‘courage!’

Get the words right.

Siwoon scanned the face of Diethart, who was a hand taller than himself.

His face, which was like a demon with murder and evil, was gradually softening.

His eyes were already burning.

‘One last word is trust. Let’s think of a sentence quickly and say it.’

After a while,

Siwoon looked at Diethart with the intent to end everything.

“… I know you can’t ‘trust’ me. It’s because you’ve already received countless wounds from people, but I devoted myself to fighting like this to protect you, a weak body who doesn’t even know one another. So… Would you like to come with me?”

“Keuk.”

Dihart.

He was the leader of the Blue Dragon Guard and was called the explosive yaksha.

He shudders.

He started sobbing.

He too was human after all.

Dude-. Pop-.

Clear tears flowed down his face, which was full of red blood, mixed with the blood.

Then the tears fell to the floor of the cave.

After a while,

Diehard began moving his right arm slowly.

Then, he slowly began to put down the spear he was aiming to threaten Shiun.

Dihart’s spear is getting farther and farther away from Siwoon’s neck.

‘… Okay, that’s it.’

Siwoon shouted inwardly.

Dihart opened his mouth after sobbing, shrugging his shoulders like the Pacific Ocean.

“…… See me, where do you want to go with me?”

“Dear Elia.”

“Elia?”

“She’s waiting. She asked me, she be sure to bring you.”

Diehard lowered his head.

Standing idly with an expression as if he had mixed feelings, he seemed to be thinking about it, and then nodded his head once while looking at Siwoon.

“Let’s do that. Where is she now?”

The moment he heard Dihart’s soft voice, Siwoon felt pleasure inside.

Finally, the quest ‘Elia’s Tears’ was a success!

A life-and-death quest.

‘I didn’t know it would be this hard and difficult. On the way, an event called Collision Quest unfolds….’

Siwoon said with a faint smile.

“I will take you to her place, come. Alas, wait!”

I wonder if about a minute has passed since the sound of desperate cries for luck.

Siwoon approached the fallen guard and she was busy with something.

And after a while,

Siwoon grinned at Diethart.

“When you go, even if you go, you have to pack what you need!”

Siwoon’s face had a bleak smile on it.

***

“Elia!”

“Mr Diethart!! How much, how much, how much…… Do you know how desperately I missed you?”

“I’m sorry, I had to disappear from your side to protect you.”

“That’s called a horse! You ugly person.”

Elia was cradled on Dihart’s huge shoulders, and she sobbed endlessly.

Siwoon is looking at them happily from behind.

‘It looks nice.’

On the one hand, I also thought of this.

When an event called Collision Quest occurs! Should I have given up on the quest ‘Elia’s Tears’ and chose the quest ‘Traitor’s Pursuit’?

At that time! What if you decided to complete that quest?

You would have been able to obtain jaw-dropping, wide-open rewards.

I would have been able to get Fame, which is really important for Hunters.

However, Siwoon shook his head.

‘…… I don’t want to get that kind of reward by ignoring the truth and selling my conscience.’

Wouldn’t it have been nice if he had completed the national quest called ‘Traitor’s Pursuit’ and received a reward?

The correct answer is ‘it would have been more embarrassing’.

Siwoon was watching their thrilling reunion with his arms crossed.

A clear voice tickles my ears.

[You have completed the quest ‘Elia’s Tears-3’!]

[Your relationship with Elia has risen to !]

[Acquired a large amount of EXP!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

Siwoon’s body was glowing blue in succession, and her effects were pouring out!

Siwoon’s level had reached 14 before he knew it.

“I don’t know how to repay this kindness…. Hunter, thank you so much. This is my present.”

Elia approached Siwoon and secretly held something out of her.

‘…… This is?’

In her hand, there was an item different from what she expected.

‘In Park Tae-seok’s attack, the shape of the reward item wasn’t like that?’

It was a little strange.

This time, due to the impact of the conflict quest event, the development of the quest was a little different.

The difficulty of the quest was even more difficult due to the unexpected invasion of the guards.

‘Does that mean that not only the development content but also the rewards can be different for the same quest?’

“Please take it quickly! It is my sincerity.”

Elia said, stopping cutely as if her hands were embarrassed.

‘Let’s try receiving it and see what it is…. It looks like a box?’

Siwoon bows lightly,

I received the item she handed over.

[Obtained Ellia’s valuables, ‘Unique Random Accessory Box’!]

‘What? Unique?! A unique random accessory box?!’

Siwoon’s eyes widened in surprise.
