chapter 362
362 – Minions That Are Not Minions
Even though I tried to let go of my regrets, I couldn’t completely shake off the thoughts.
As I returned home, I thought about many possibilities.
[Inconsistent anger]
– Attack power increases in proportion to the difference in level between the enemy and the enemy.
‘It depends on how much power this achievement exerts. It hasn’t been activated yet.’
If you’re an A-class bodyguard, your level is quite different from mine, so I think you can be of great help.
‘There’s no need to kill the bodyguards… They’re not evil people. I have to deal with it somehow without self-destructing.’
I thought that after changing jobs, I would be able to see some angles.
‘If you punish the Ilseom guys tomorrow and are lucky, you can level up. If you run through the dungeon a few times, it won’t take long.’
I entered the house, calculating that I could defeat the great villain Haserin within at least 15 days.
‘What are they doing when they’re not sleeping?’
My colleagues were all having a hard time in the afternoon, as if they were going to collapse from exhaustion, but when training was over, everyone’s eyes became watery and they started talking in the living room.
From how much money did you make to move into such a nice house, to how long you plan to work as a hunter.
Most of the conversation centered on Yeonhee, the landlord.
However, the final destination of the conversation was the match against Ilseom that would take place tomorrow.
“No, I’m walking into a trap on my own. The ‘Vision Guild’ isn’t taking any action? Is that Vision Guild-style training?”
“Ah, you said they would assign someone to you. He’s a top class A hunter.”
“Still!”
Noh Hayun told me not to worry because I would take care of everything, but he kept going in and out of Yeonhee’s bedroom.
“Hey, Noh Hayun. Why are you so interested in Yeonhee’s bedroom?”
“It’s just something I thought it would feel like to do something like this in a place like this…”
“What are you talking about? Speak clearly.”
‘… That’s real. Do you really have to fill in the pieces of your imagination like that?’
I shook my head and went outside for Irmana’s ceremony.
Even in the front yard, the children’s laughter leaked out like a song.
‘It’s peaceful. I guess I’ll have to invite the kids to play sometime. Yeonhee also felt a different joy than when she was with me…’
With that in mind, I was just placing the statue of the Goddess Irmana on the floor.
A woman entered the realm of my senses.
The woman who had a considerable amount of body hidden behind her small stature was a member of the Ilseom shadow organization who was caught spying on our house the other day.
This is the woman who scolded me at church and made me do things my own way.
‘The name was Miyeon. You came quickly.’
He asked obviously me to contact him if something happened to Ilseom, but he didn’t come until the night before the match.
I used her remaining mimicry to fly to Miyeon, and she greeted me looking a little more relaxed than when we met before.
“Hello…”
“Why are you so late?”
“Ugh… I’m sorry…”
“Let’s go over there first.”
“Where are you going?”
I picked her up and moved to her deserted place where she had activated her mimicry earlier.
Tadak-
“Haa… Sigh!”
Even after her arrival, I didn’t bother to let her out of my arms.
– When [Mimicking] Is activated, attractiveness increases significantly.
When we met before, we confirmed that this effect was quite useful. In times like this, there was a need to captivate them even more.
“Huh…”
As I looked at her while gently holding her waist, Miyeon’s eyes fluttered in all directions.
I made eye contact for a moment, and after seeing that Miyeon’s eyes were losing focus, I spoke.
“Tell me the information you brought.”
“Ah… Well, yes. What is that…”
It seemed like Miyeon could not come to her senses, so she relaxed her waist for a moment.
As the distance increased a little, she let out a shaky sigh and finally managed to get some meaningful information out of her head.
“The people competing tomorrow… Are hunters who are not registered in the Ilseom Guild roster.”
“···Are they people from outside?”
“Well, that’s not it…” ” There is another shadowy organization that focuses on military force. They are from there. Since they were young, they have been trained around hidden dungeons… “
“Ah… So, they are people who specialize in the place where we will face off tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes. Well, I heard that they selected the most talented people.”
“Well, that’s natural. Is that really all? In fact, that was predictable. Since we have Arin from Ilseom, I knew that people would come out and train in that space.”
Strictly speaking, half of the story was wrong.
‘You decided to raise talent from a young age? Did they at least collect orphans? What would you gain by doing that secretly? Unless the whole world changes into such an environment…’
My head was a little confused, but I focused on the present for now.
“Of course, there is more. This is actually more secret information…”
“Ho-okay. Tell me.”
“······ Well, just?”
“?”
For a moment, I wondered what they were talking about, but then I realized that Miyeon wanted something from me.
“··· What do you want?”
I could have just scolded him and let him get away with it, but he was someone who might have more uses in the future. I guess I should at least listen to the story.
“Well…Just one contact number…”
‘That won’t work.’
It was something that literally couldn’t be done. Because I don’t have a cell phone!
“That’s not possible. Say something else.”
“Well, like that…”
Although Miyeon was very disappointed, she quickly began to shake her head.
“So, just one hand…”
“What?”
‘Hand? Is that okay?’
“You want me to catch you?”
“Yes…”
It was nothing special, so I held her hand right away.
“Ah… Wow…”
However, unlike me who thought she was taking it lightly, Miyeon closed her eyes and focused on feeling the touch her her, her face filled with emotion at what was so good.
‘I don’t know. Are you really fascinated by me? I guess it’s not that bad…? ‘I can’t believe I revealed my personal feelings to the target I was spying on without any filtering.’
Miyeon nibbled on my hand for a while, and before she knew it, her skin her turned red, up to her her neck her her her.
‘Then I see you’re wearing a skirt?’
It was only now that her eyes caught sight of her wearing a knee-length denim skirt, a white blouse, and a cardigan.
I thought I couldn’t do it anymore, so I took her her hand her her her away her her her.
“Ah! Ah, no.”
“What doesn’t work?”
“Uh… Ah… I’m sorry-“
She opened her mouth and couldn’t get the next word out.
‘You’re so naive, kid. Or is it my ability that makes me obedient?’
She wasn’t confirmed as a skill, so she couldn’t be sure.
“Now tell me.”
“Ha… That… Edible item. There’s a special medicine.”
“Medicine? “What effect does this medicine have?”
“I heard that it has the effect of instantly strengthening physical abilities and has almost no side effects.”
“Is it possible to artificially increase combat power without side effects?”
I tilted my head as if it was hard to believe, and Miyeon continued speaking while looking intently at my face her her her her.
“I heard that it was made by mixing ingredients collected from a hidden dungeon.”
“Hmm… I see. It’s a hidden dungeon…”
‘This is surprising information?’
I said while controlling my facial expression.
“You must have had a hard time. I didn’t hear it from anyone, but I think I overexerted myself and dug up the information. Right?”
There was no way such high-level information was floating around like a rumor.
Miyeon just nodded her head quietly and her face blushed.
“Manage risks appropriately. If you get caught, it’s tiring in many ways.”
“I’ll be careful…”
“Okay. Then, come back next time you have any good information.”
“Ah, over there.”
“Huh?”
“Could we stay together for ten minutes… No, five minutes?”
“It’s difficult if you keep wanting more things.”
“Please just this once…”
I thought about it for a while, but considering my cautious manner of speaking and various other things. I finally agreed because I thought it wasn’t the type that would be any more squishy.
“Instead, I won’t say anything. I’ll just sit still and leave.”
“Good… Thank you…”
‘Hasn’t it changed too dramatically?’
For the first time, I felt a little scared of my abilities.
The place we were was not too far from the walking path, so we moved in that direction and spent some time quietly watching the people passing by down there.
Miyeon, who was sitting on her chair, was now shaking her legs back and forth, showing her excitement.
I felt a little bit of remorse, but perhaps because of the mental contamination that still remained, that feeling soon disappeared.
‘I don’t know. Even if you killed him in the first place, you have nothing to say, so what’s the point of saving him?’
I tried to make excuses to myself and looked blankly at the sky.
Feeling the eyes staring at me and the scent of an unknown perfume wafting softly.
‘He even sprayed perfume on me. I’m really out of my mind.’
After a while, I returned to her house, leaving her unable to take her steps.
I could feel Miyeon’s eyes looking up at me from afar, but if she wanted to see me, she would have to ask me another interesting piece of information.
When we arrived back at the house, the bustling atmosphere was still there.
They chatted non-stop, like girls going on a school field trip for the first time. It didn’t seem like a particularly interesting conversation, but I couldn’t stop laughing.
As I watched them lying down and chattering, I felt an unknown sense of happiness welling up.
I felt a little excited, but also a little cold.
‘It looks like the skeleton is soaked in sentimentality.’
I didn’t want to disturb them, so I went out into the yard, placed my hand on Irmana’s statue, and began the ritual.
I don’t know why Irma gave her a quest to hope to meet her, but after meeting her in person, she only became more suspicious.
‘You were really scared when you looked at me… You’re not calling us because you need a punching bag to relieve your anger, right?’
Although I was a little discouraged by the memories of that time, I couldn’t stop the quest that had been going on for over two months.
‘God of Irmana… I am a very pitiful skeleton… I long to meet you…’
Progress as usual.
And as a familiar feeling spread, my vision changed again.
Tweet-
The sound of an unknown bird.
Two moons floating in the sky.
The fresh scent of grass carried by the warm wind.
‘It’s dark… Did you come at night time?’
Judging from the energy felt in my senses, I feel like I have returned to the lake I saw back then.
Even when my body, not my mental body, is embodied.
“Tick, tick, tick.”
I carefully knocked my teeth together.
‘··· There is no response.’
I made a noise and waited for a while, but no one was looking for me, so I walked wherever I could.
‘It’s the same place I came from.’
It wasn’t long before the lake came into view.
‘I wouldn’t believe it if I told you this was a real sea.’
Even like the sea, the ebb and flow were repeated.
‘Is it any different from water coming out of a kettle?’
Without thinking much, I poured water from the lake on my body.
Wow-
– I discovered divine water containing the blessings of the water goddess Irmana.
– The achievement [Irmana’s Little Follower] Has been obtained!
[Irmana’s small follower]
– Resistance to all water attribute magic increases significantly.
– Possesses the potential for all water attribute magic.
‘······ Be surprised.’
I didn’t even think that I would come this far and get an achievement, so I was shaking my head in surprise. Suddenly, I sensed a strange energy and hurriedly looked around.
‘What? ‘I think something happened?’
