I Have Come To End This Fight

Episode 117. record (1)

Yuri glared at the words written on the paper for a while and was impressed.

“Even though I’ve cursed outright, is this the first time I’ve been cursed out like this?”

And being cursed at in such a fresh way made me more interested than in a bad mood.

Yuri crouched down in front of the small gap and took a closer look at it.

The golden pupils of the glass reflected through the thin and narrow gaps.

Yuri, who had been squatting like that for a long time, scratched his cheek.

“… Can’t you see?”

Even if he increased his eyesight with mana, he couldn’t see anything through the cracks.

In response, Yuri pulled out the long and thin spider web and tried to insert it into the gap.

A weak flow of air passed through the magic stream.

‘It’s just a long coffin?’

There was no room for people beyond the gap.

However, there is only a tube in the thickness of the forearm that extends upward.

Even that was blocked by something, so the magic spider’s web could not advance any further.

In response, Yuri took the demon and unfolded the paper with the cursing written on it again.

‘But if you look at this, there must be a person there.’

He nodded his head with an agreeable face.

Institutions that have been used once have time to close and maintain for a certain period of time.

That means there’s someone fixing the organ.

Yuri was very curious about who that ‘someone’ might be.

‘The people who created this institution are not ordinary.’

Yuri, who had broken through the agency, knew that better than anyone else.

A trap that activates at the same time without a single error even if repeated several times.

The angle and power were all the same.

What’s even more surprising was that the design of the trap was the same for all 20 caves.

There may be some errors in the process of reinstalling or servicing the trap, but there has never been a single error in Yuri’s calculations.

That’s why he thought about it often as he circled the trap.

‘If I could learn this skill… … .’

And if only I could apply it to the newly created fortress this time.

‘I’m sure it’ll be fine.’

Therefore, I tried to meet the maintenance people whenever I had a chance, but I hadn’t seen a person, let alone a shadow of a person, for the past 12 days.

I was giving up halfway because I doubted whether or not there was a real person now because of the situation… … .

‘The other side contacted me first, right?’

The corner of Yuri’s mouth curled up gently.

He squatted down and put his hands together through the gap as if whispering.

And shouted out loud to it.

“Are you there!”

A booming voice echoed across the cliff.

Yuri squatted down and stared at the gap.

5 minutes like that.

As before, I waited for the score sheet with the letters written on it to appear, but there was no response.

Yuri shouted again.

“I know you’re there!”

Silence continued again.

Even so, Yuri did not give up.

“If you keep ignoring me like that, terrible things will happen.”

No matter how much I speak, I remain silent.

At this, Yuri robbed her seat and stood up.

Tak-tak-.

“I definitely warned you. Something dreadful will happen.”

He looked through the small gap and gave a sinister smile.

On the other hand, there were people watching it.

“… Why are you doing that?”

“That, well?”

“No matter how good you look… That’s a bit like that.”

The three newcomers this time shook their heads.

In their ignorant eyes, Yuri was a madman trying to talk to the wall.

* * *

Contrary to what he warned that something terrible would happen, Yuri didn’t take any particular action.

Because there were more important things to do right now than doing something dreadful.

“Whoa… … .”

Yuri let out a long breath.

The moment when you moderately relax the muscles of the body and release tension.

flash-.

Yuri’s eyes strained, and she pressed the start button on the watch.

At the same time, his model shot forward and reached the cave before anyone knew it.

‘If you take the first step.’

widely-!

Glass touched the ground lightly.

‘The organ detects the vibration and the entrance closes.’

thud-.

The iron door behind the glass collapsed.

‘The exit of the side aisle is open.’

drooling-.

The sound of the iron door opening on the side could be heard faintly through the wall.

Yuri’s eyes lit up at this.

‘All traps are activated at the same time.’

But it was only activated.

In order for the trap to activate, vibration had to be applied to each area where the trap was installed.

In other words, the traps were designed to sense vibrations created by intruders and trigger them either individually or in tandem.

It was that part that Yuri struggled the most with in shortening the time.

‘Simply whether or not the trap was damaged wasn’t all of the deduction factors.’

To be precise, it was 100 points when all 100 traps were activated and not damaged.

Even if the trap didn’t trigger, it worked as a point deduction factor.

In addition, if the trap is not destroyed and slightly out of place, it is considered damaged and points are deducted.

‘Don’t touch it at all and avoid it, this.’

A f*cking scoring criterion to trigger all traps but not touch them.

How could the 10-second barrier be easily broken?

‘From now on, there shouldn’t be even 0.001 second unnecessary movements.’

Yuri, who had all her senses on edge, even aroused demons.

His body relentlessly repeated the movements it had learned over and over again over the past hour.

A blade flying from the left.

Yuri avoided this with minimal movement.

‘In 0.07 seconds, at 2 o’clock, a chained trap is activated.’

As soon as I was able to dodge the left blade, a blade flew in from the right side.

An attack that an uninformed person would have thought were two blades flying at the same time.

However, it was clear to Yuri that there was a time gap between the two attacks.

So he found a gap between the two traps.

Squeak-.

The new type of glass that unfolded the cloud to the limit penetrated the gap of 0.07 seconds, that minute space.

Ssak-!

The two blades glided past Yuri’s neck so narrowly that it seemed like they had fallen.

A situation where even a slight mistake would cause a lot of bleeding.

However, Yuri, the party involved, calmly attacked the next trap.

Dangerous moments that continue.

Every time that happened, Ma-ryu found a momentary gap, and Unbo pushed Yuri’s body through the gap.

step by step.

One action, one action.

As the moment of time continued, Yuri turned around the halfway point in an instant, and after that, she continued to move forward with a ghostly movement.

That’s how Yuri finally passed through the exit.

fault-!

His hand pressed the stop button for time.

Dreuk- Clap!

I hear the mechanical sound of the clock stopping.

“Whoa… … .”

Yuri let out a small breath and raised his head.

The clock hands are accurate… It was across the tenth column.

Kuduk-.

“… pierced.”

Ten seconds of the demon finally breaking through.

Yuri smiled and clenched her fists.

But it was still too early to rejoice.

He looked at the gap where the score sheet came out with tense eyes.

and.

Sreuk – Tak!

The score sheet popped out.

Yuri picked it up and carefully unfolded it.

【200.】

Joy spread over Yuri’s face when she finally got the desired score.

However, even for a moment, Yuri returned to a calm face and stared at the cave.

‘yet… It can still be further reduced.’

I felt it while breaking through 10 seconds of magic.

That there is still an unnecessity left in his movement.

If the operation of Unbo was a little faster, the time could have been reduced.

‘Keep going.’

Yuri’s challenge will not end until she is satisfied with her record.

There will be no record registration until then.

Resolving that, Yuri put the [200.] score sheet into her pocket and started the clock in the other cave.

* * *

widely-!

Pressing the stop button on the watch, a fast-moving hand.

A satisfied voice came out of Nellie’s mouth as she checked the time.

“46 seconds.”

Sreuk – Tak!

Soon after, Nellie received and confirmed the protruding score sheet and moved to her seat with a smile on her face.

The place she headed was a simple building with a ranking board.

By the time they reached their approximate destination, Nellie paused for a moment.

Her smile deepened when she saw the two bickering in front of the simple building.

“They were here first.”

At Nellie’s voice, Ivan and Fana, who had arrived at the kiosk first, turned their heads.

“Oh, are you here?”

“I’m here?”

“huh.”

Nellie, who lightly accepted the greeting from the two, handed out her score sheet to the yawning man.

“I’ll register the score.”

“Ahhhhh… … . There are many guests today.”

Peter, whose face was full of annoyance, took Nellie’s score sheet and opened it.

Fana, who confirmed this with a side glance, imitated a clumsy whistle.

“Hwiyu, 158 points? Isn’t this enough to be in the top 80?”

And as Fana expected, Nellie’s name was at the bottom of the 80th.

【89th / 50th class / Nellie Blanc / 158 points]

Nellie barely made it to the top 80.

Considering only 89th place, she was happy with her score.

158 points was the highest score she had received since coming to this quest.

When Nellie was happily looking at the leader board with her name on it.

“Please register me too.”

Ivan handed his score sheet to Peter.

After receiving and confirming this, Peter frowned.

“It makes you do the job twice.”

“sorry. I didn’t know that friend would score first.”

Although he said that, Ivan didn’t look particularly apologetic.

Rather, it was a slightly conceited expression.

“Tsk.”

Peter clicked his tongue in disapproval and made two nameplates.

So, the ranking board has changed again.

【88th / 50th class / Ivan Baskin / 160 points]

【90th / 50th class / Nellie Blanc / 158 points]

“… … ?!”

Nellie, who had suddenly switched seats, turned her head to Ivan.

Nellie’s eyes widened at Ivan’s smug face, but he only shrugged lightly.

While Nellie and Ivan were fighting strangely, Fana’s voice was heard.

“and? Are you both on the list? So, when are you guys planning to challenge the 7-star cave?”

At that question, Nellie and Ivan turned their heads to Fana at the same time, as if they had never fought each other.

Ivan said with a bitter smile.

“7 stars? Is that something we can challenge?”

Nelly nodded with a serious face as if agreeing with this.

“With our skills, we still… not enough.”

Usually, like them, the moment I put my name on the rankings, I got moderately confident and thought, ‘Shall we try the 7-star cave?’

However, the reaction of the two was quite different from the foolish people who lost their lives by challenging the 7-star cave.

This was thanks to the questions and answers that two people asked one person.

[huh? 7 star? ah, what is that? Um, how about… Maybe because I’m still not sure?]

The one who said he wouldn’t challenge the 7-star cave because he wasn’t sure yet.

Nellie’s and Ivan’s eyes scanned the leaderboards for his name.

So top of the leaderboard.

His name was stamped there.

【1st place / 50th class / Yuri Holland / 200 points (9 seconds)]

There was a tremendous record that they could not even dream of on their own.

That’s why Nelly and Ivan gave up on the 7-star challenge.

‘Even Yuri Holland, who set such a record, hasn’t challenged the 7-star yet.’

‘We, who barely made it to the bottom of the rankings, challenge the 7-star?’

Nellie and Ivan thought at the same time.

‘It’s an unpredictable sound.’

‘It’s an unpredictable sound.’

It was Yuri who saved two precious lives without even knowing it.

* * *

After exiting the cave, Yuri checked the time.

“… Another nine seconds.”

It was only yesterday that I succeeded in breaking the demon’s 10 seconds and reducing it to 9 seconds again.

And again, I tried shortening the record for one day, but it kept failing.

At this, Yuri shook her head.

‘This… That’s the limit.’

Up until now, I had been training to break through a 2-star cave to raise Unbo’s proficiency.

As Unbo’s proficiency increased, I was able to shorten the record gradually… … .

‘I’m so used to 2-star now that Unbo’s proficiency doesn’t go up anymore.’

In other words, shortening the record was also difficult.

‘Well, I’ve had enough of this.’

In fact, at this level, he couldn’t suck up the sweet water of the 2-star cave, so it was no different than extracting all the juice and converting it into experience points.

Didn’t Unbo’s skill level rise thanks to that?

Yuri thought that there was nothing to gain from the 2-star cave anymore.

His head turned upward.

‘I’ll have to finish it soon.’

Yuri was confident that she would be able to set a great record, let alone take the top spot perfectly.

His gaze reached the top of the cliff, the 7-star cave.
