207

Jinseong didn’t have time to put together the few words Vivi spat out.

From the beginning, it wasn’t just Vivi that Jinseong was focusing on.

“…Huh? Me? That Hiram kid is me? What are you talking about?”

This is because I was focusing all my attention on moving Hulk and Mew slowly.

From the beginning, Mew, who had been protected by , was already Jinseong’s own rear.

Since she was the one who had been whining about going back to this place because of the black nightmare in the first place, this reaction might have been natural.

So, if there was one thing that Jinseong was somewhat uneasy about, it was Hulk.

‘He pretended to be strong, but… Well, that’s fortunate, if anything.’

Hulk, who had been raging and threatening to kill Mew in frustration, was also moving slowly.

The fact that he is moving very slowly and carefully means that he is afraid of attracting Vivi’s attention.

As expected, Jinseong, who had thought that far, could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction and anxiety at the same time.

What does it mean that even NPCs affected by the Black Nightmare are afraid of Vivi?

Even though he was paying attention to his surroundings, Jinseong’s eyes were fixed on Vivi.

I couldn’t see her face 100% as her head was still half-down, but I could see one thing.

The thing was that her mouth was moving as if she was babbling.

“Huh? What did you say?”

Even though he couldn’t hear the sound, it seemed like he had said something, so Jinseong asked to confirm.

Vivi still didn’t raise her head.

The voice was slightly louder than before, but only for a moment.

“……Okay. You’ll find out later anyway. Later, I……”

Her voice no longer sounded like a mumbling to herself.

Jinseong quickly checked Hulk, who had now almost moved towards Jinseong, and tried to buy time again.

“Huh? Vivi, I can’t hear you very well-.”

“Let’s take care of those two bastards first! I’m sure Hiram will thank you when you see him! !”

Phat t …

“Kyaaaaah!” “Gyaaaaah!”

As expected, Bibi wasn’t someone who could just sit back and watch.

She had been thoroughly trained by Jinseong, so there was no way she would miss Hulk’s movements!

The magnetic field emitted from the device that instantly rose into the air consumed space.

“Hmph- !”

A wide-range attack that hits not only Hulk and Mew, but even Jinseong, so perhaps it’s fortunate that the damage isn’t that high.

Jinseong immediately used one of the leap skills that included invincibility.

It was sufficient that the blade did not directly touch the magnetic generator.

Because as soon as the ground below was struck, the rising dark energy immediately destroyed the device.

“Vivi! Is it really true that I’m getting hit like this? It hurts!”

“It’s okay if it’s Jinseong! Even if Jinseong gets hurt a little! You’ll thank me later anyway!”

Should I be grateful for the endless trust?

Vivi started running, throwing out words that made even the listener feel uneasy.

“No, that’s right! What are you talking about-”

“, !”

“-What if you actually use your skills on me?!”

A skill aimed at Jinseong, not Hulk and Mew?!

At this point, it was something that even Jinseong couldn’t just tolerate.

‘I was trying to subdue him without getting hurt as much as possible, but ugh, I guess I can’t help it if it turns out like this.’

We have no choice but to take him out even if it means breaking his limbs.

Since he has already experienced this, he can tell. If he consumes an HP recovery item, that level of injury will be healed immediately, so there won’t be any major danger to his life.

‘What’s the pain? It’s your own fault for not listening.’

Hooooooooo… …

Jinseong said, catching his breath.

“Black ball, Soldoros, and sheep’s ear.”

Three abilities outside of the standard you can use.

Pushuuuuuu─────… … !!!

If you can harness all that power, you can block all of Vivi’s skills aimed at you with just a combination of ‘movement’, ‘agile hand movements’, and ‘swordsmanship’ without even having to use skills like ‘invincibility’ or ‘invincibility’!

“You can stop me to this extent-.”

“!”

“That’s not what I was going to do!?”

But Vivi was still smart.

The use of multiple warheads and other attacks on Jinseong was ultimately intended to buy time and tie up Jinseong’s hands.

As she runs towards Hulk and Mew, bypassing the real thing, there are already gear-shaped disc-shaped objects spinning furiously around her.

‘Damn, I didn’t mean to go this far-.’

Jinseong gritted his teeth.

Vivi, whose movement speed has increased, approaches Hulk and Mew in an instant.

If we focus on defense, it would be faster for Vivi to deal with the two people.

If you focus on attacking, there is a possibility that all the attacks will be completely targeted at you.

‘-I guess it’s a good thing I haven’t mixed it into a combo yet.’

Jinseong held the hand holding .

The posture in which the sword was dropped with a thud pointing towards the floor was clearly different from the normal preparation for an attack.

“Ms. Vivi!”

Jinseong called Vivi.

And then he stepped back instead.

In a position where the attacks directed at Jinseong and Vivi running far away are in front of Jinseong.

“Don’t come any closer! You’ll get hurt!”

Jinseong shouted.

Vivi didn’t slow down, just glanced at Jinseong.

“Huh?! How could Jinseong do that? Threats like that won’t work!”

“Then don’t regret it!”

In the end, it was Jinseong who sighed.

Current level 83.

If you can just explode your newly learned skill at the right spot, you can be sure that everything will go as planned, and Jinseong can just raise his sword from the ground up into the air.

“< Dark-."

[First, it was Jinseong. Second, it was Ma-eum.]

Black Goo said.

First acquired level 80, .

This skill can be said to be the main skill of Dark Knight users. The ‘Terminal Title’ that Jinseong had purchased through Pure in the past also increases the skill level by 80, that is, it has the effect of making the skill stronger.

Jinseong intends to use the skill he chose because it excels in both range and destructive power.

It was so powerful and had such a wide range that it was very subtle, just enough to nullify the attacks Vivi fired at herself while also exploding between Vivi, Hulk, and Mew, making it impossible for her to approach any further.

[Click, click, I’m relaying what that woman was muttering. You won’t be shaken, Jinseong.]

However, the voice of the black orb echoed in Jinseong’s head as he began to cast the skill.

The first one is Jinseong.

The second is the heart.

What does that mean?

A voice I didn’t hear before?

What were the words that Bibi was mumbling with her head down that Jinseong couldn’t hear?

Then what if we add together the words we heard and the words that Heukgu just told us that we didn’t hear?

“-Burst>?! No, no!”

The problem isn’t just that he was barely able to spit out the name of the skill.

The angle at which Jinseong himself raised his sword.

The direction in which the enormous concentrated dark power is shot out.

Not only did Vivi chew up all the skills that Jinseong used to attack her, but as if that wasn’t enough, the energy exploded towards Vivi!

“Ms. Vivi, be careful-.”

It’s too late to tell you to be careful.

A power that stopped even Vivi’s steps as he ran with a Frisbee attached, while he was consumed by a black nightmare and not of his right mind, with only the intention of killing Hulk and Mew.

“Ah, ahhhh……!?”

[Still a long way to go. Hehe.]

Kugugugugugu──────… … .

Deep within the Castle of the Dead, very close to Luke’s laboratory, a tremor occurred.

* * *

“Cluck, cluck, cluck!”

“What happened… huh?”

Hulk and Mew coughed repeatedly.

The dust that rose up with the explosion was still blurry and blocking the surrounding vision.

What can be seen dimly on the floor are the remains of the skill Vivi used against Jinseong.

What had once been missiles, what had once been small robots, were now just charred bits of parts strewn about everywhere.

“My mind… Mew, what happened?”

Hulk asked Mew.

“That’s what I wanted to ask! You attacked me-. No, rather… me too…”

Mew screamed and looked at his hands.

Mew’s body, which had been repeating the words “run away” just a moment ago, had stopped shaking.

Above all, Hulk, who had been going wild, saying that he would kill Mew and that he was a nuisance to the adventurers, was blinking his eyes normally.

“I think I was possessed by something.”

“Me too. Strangely, the feeling of being scared of everything has disappeared.”

It meant that the two were finally freed from the bonds of the black nightmare.

Hulk mumbled, unable to even look at Mew properly due to his embarrassment and regret.

“So… Myu, there were a few times when I thought you were annoying, but I couldn’t believe that I would do something this crazy-. No, I guess I should say it felt like I wasn’t me-.”

“Let’s talk about that later, you’re dead. More importantly, right now! Adventurer! Adventurer!?”

As soon as Mew hit Hulk on the back, he looked around.

It was natural for the two to wander for a moment in the still hazy vision.

For them, not only was Vivi an adventurer, but even Jinseong’s true form was not visible.

“That, that’s right-. There was that human the captain was talking about too. The hero of Noble Sky! Jinseong!”

Even if I don’t know why, the memory remains.

In other words, didn’t we see Vivi being hit directly by the overwhelming technique that Jinseong used at the end, the technique that had just turned this room into a mess?

“Over there! Shadow!”

“Adventurer! Adventurer! Are you okay? Where did Jinseong go-. No…….”

Then finally they spotted a silhouette.

Since they were running in the direction Vivi had come from, they naturally assumed they were adventurers, but their silhouettes began to become clear beyond the gradually settling dust clouds.

So I couldn’t help but be confused.

“two?”

“Huh? How did you do that? Huh? Wasn’t the place where Jinseong was just now over there…?”

All they could see were Bibi and Jinseong, who was holding Bibi’s waist as if she was about to collapse.

Vivi’s eyes were fixed only on Jinseong.

The emotion in those eyes wasn’t just surprise or amazement.

“Hoo… Are you okay, Vivi?”

What happened a little while ago?

It was Jinseong who closed the distance between himself and Vivi with before could hit Vivi.

As if that wasn’t enough, he used to hold Vivi in ​​a panic and hug her so that she wouldn’t struggle and escape.

“It’s much stronger than I expected. Even without a combo, it’s still this strong… If it weren’t for the invincibility, I might have been the first person to die from my own skill.”

destroyed Jinseong, who had become invincible due to , but did not inflict any damage on Vivi, who Jinseong was holding.

Jinseong, who was muttering in surprise at the power of his own skill, suddenly turned his gaze towards Vivi.

“-Oh, are you okay? Vivi? Are you awake now? Your eyes look more normal than before.”

Vivi’s pupils, which had been staring intently at Jinseong, dilated for a moment, but that was all, and she immediately looked away.

“ah.”

What can I say other than bowing my head?

As already shown in the cases of Hulk and Mew, being consumed by a black nightmare does not mean that one has no memories.

It’s better not to know what you said or did.

In fact, it could be said to be the darkest of dark histories, that he showed his overwhelming sincerity to the point that even a moderate amount of drunkenness would be ignored, and he did it all by himself out of the blue!?

“Huh!?”

It was then that I heard Jinseong’s surprised voice.

And that voice brought Vivi back to reality.

“Let go, let go!”

Would her shock be conveyed if I told her that she had forgotten that she had completely surrendered herself to Jinseong due to his overwhelming favoritism?

Only later did Vivi push Jinseong away and take a couple of steps back.

“No, I’m not saying that I’m annoyed-. I’m sorry, Jinseong. So…”

And then, without realizing it, she pushed Jinseong away too roughly, and at the same time, in the midst of her exploding emotions, Vivi just tried to say something to Jinseong.

“No, no, it’s okay. Well, that could be possible.”

However, Jinseong had already hidden one hand behind his back and was waving the other hand.

Vivi’s expression changed subtly.

I wish he had said something, but Jinseong’s attitude was like nothing happened. When I thought about the meaning of that.

Jinseong’s expression also changed subtly.

[Luke the Builder (Contamination) who knows about contamination]

The thing that was dominating Jinseong’s mind was a card that had been fluttering and falling behind Vivi’s back a little while ago.
