Episode 140

The first time I saw Jang Man-cheol was when I was a third-year hunter.

The days of living as a hunter alone, without even receiving a blessing from God and unable to join any guild.

Jang Man-cheol and I, who were killing monsters alone like wild beasts, encountered each other in the same dungeon.

At the time, he was one of the lower ranks of the Thor Guild.

A common guild member who can be sacrificed at any time when needed on the battlefield.

Jang Man-cheol was left behind by the guild group and met me.

“It’s nice to meet someone from another guild in this situation. My name is Jang Man-cheol from the Thor Guild. Although I’m a low-level member, I’m a pretty good fighter.”

I still vividly remember his face brightening up as soon as he saw me.

“Are you lost too? I’ve lost my colleagues and superiors and am wandering around alone. I’m afraid I’ll get in big trouble when I come back. Hahaha!”

He was a positive man.

Even though he was lost and stranded in the Abyss alone, he had a smile on his face.

As if he could escape from this place at any time.

“…Please don’t follow me.”

I distanced myself from him like that.

He was the type of person I didn’t want to get too close to.

Should I say that my personality of trying to get too close to others doesn’t suit me?

But even if we keep our distance.

“But let’s go together. If we join forces as people in the same situation, won’t we be able to escape?”

He kept coming closer.

I tried to dodge him several times, but he would appear before I knew it while I was fighting other monsters in the Abyss.

“Hoo, hoo. How could you go like that alone…? What, you conquered all of this by yourself?”

He looked at the monsters I had killed and was amazed.

“Wow, how did you catch all these?”

“… … .”

While I was harvesting the byproducts of the monsters I had caught, he came up to me and helped me dismember the monsters I had caught.

“At this point, you’re probably similar to the apostles of our guild. Okay, you’re not isolated in the dungeon, are you?”

“…It’s noisy.”

“Oh, is that so? Hahaha! Sorry. It’s become a habit to cheer up the seniors by talking next to them.”

He continued to help dismantle the by-products while keeping his voice low.

“I’ll take this. I wasn’t able to help in the battle, so I’ll do this. I’m confident in my strength. Hahaha!”

At that time, Jang Man-cheol was a fighter who only had good strength.

If you asked me if I had the skills, I could immediately answer no.

Contrary to the intimidating feeling he gave off from his thick muscles, he was also a chatterbox who talked nonstop.

Thanks to that, I wasn’t bored the whole time I was conquering the Abyss and returning.

My ears just hurt a little.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to easily leave the Abyss. What is your name?”

“You don’t need to know.”

“But I can’t just let you go….”

“It’s okay, go.”

“This is my business card. Until we meet again someday, please remember Jang Man-cheol of the Thor Guild!”

He was just a nice guy.

A man who has affection for people and keeps his promises.

The first impression wasn’t too bad.

He was a talkative person, but he wasn’t a bad person himself.

And after a long time, Jang Man-cheol met again and was attending Lee Hyeon’s party.

A man who formed a party with Lee Hyeon, an apostle of the Thor Guild and a hero of humanity.

A tanker that blocks enemy attacks by holding up a huge shield like a door made of iron with great strength.

He, who was an impenetrable shield, was called the best party along with Lee Hyeon’s spear that could pierce through anything.

“Huh? Aren’t you the person I met in the Abyss? It’s been a while! Hahaha!”

Thanks to his presence, I was able to quickly blend in with Lee Hyun’s party.

Until then, I thought this party was the only party that could protect humanity in the future.

Lee Hyeon, who is called the hero of humanity, Jang Man-cheol, who is the apostle of the Thor Guild and holds the absolute shield, Lee Su-yeon, who was the recorder, me, an unbeliever, and Julia, who was Loki’s apostle at the time and was called a saint.

It was a perfect party.

Of course, the fact that many of them were apostles blessed by the gods was a potential risk factor, but their abilities were outstanding enough to put that aside.

Enough to fight against God.

So I went with them until the final expedition.

We couldn’t always be together, but when we came together out of necessity and fought together, we always won.

If I had known it would end like that.

‘I must have found another way.’

okay.

Like how they don’t become apostles of God.

I saw Jang Man-cheol fainting.

“What are you going to do?”

Lee Su-yeon asked me.

“Is Sooyeon able to lift this person?”

“Yes. Because I am an awakened person.”

“Please.”

“Dojin, I can fight too.”

I shook my head.

This time she had no role.

You can evacuate and isolate yourself as a space of record as before.

‘Thor might be able to break that space.’

What if Thor breaks the isolation space and attacks Lee Soo-yeon?

‘Suyeon won’t be able to endure it.’

He’s not some god, he’s Thor.

I can’t lose her here.

“Then did you bring me here just to make me do chores?”

“I’m sorry, but this is important. And it won’t be easy. I have to escape without being noticed by Thor’s Guild members who are stationed outside the door.”

Saving Jang Man-cheol.

That will be a great help in building my power in the future.

Lee Su-yeon sighed as she met my eyes.

“I know it’s not easy, and I know you’re doing it for me.”

Lee Soo-yeon looked at me quietly.

“But I hope this is the last time we don’t share our plans like this. Now I can help you, Dojin.”

“I know what you mean.”

I nodded and put on the mask of fantasy.

My body turned into Jang Man-cheol in an instant.

I have known about Jang Man-cheol for a long time already.

Everything about him, from his speech to his habits and his behavior.

“I feel this every time I see it, but it’s really amazing. How a person can change in an instant right before your eyes…”

“That’s the power of skill.”

I answered with a voice that had completely changed to Jang Man-cheol.

“So what should we do now?”

Lee Soo-yeon, who was carrying Jang Man-cheol, who was wearing a robe over her head, on her shoulder, asked me.

“Just follow me and come out. I’ll fool them, so you can leave without any problems. Of course, if you get too far away from me, they’ll notice something’s wrong. So you have to get out of my sight as quickly as possible.”

“all right.”

I, who had transformed into Jang Man-cheol, took the lead and went out the door.

“Are we done talking?”

A man who seemed to be senior asked me.

“It’s all over. But you must have been very tired because you lost consciousness.”

“I see.”

The senior officer standing at the entrance to the interview room slightly lifted the robe that was covering Jang Man-cheol.

Due to the effect of the fantasy mask, Jang Man-cheol will appear as Kim Do-jin to his eyes.

“Why is this person suddenly acting like this?”

The senior asked Lee Soo-yeon.

“… Sometimes I lose my mind like this.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. But you’d better not do anything foolish. After all, I’m a human who killed a god, so I won’t be treated like that by you.”

“… … .”

The senior’s sharp gaze softened.

“Haha, why are you saying such scary things? Please pass. I will open the way for you.”

Lee Soo-yeon quickly left the Pantheon with Jang Man-cheol on her shoulder.

“Let’s go in. Thor is looking for you.”

“Thor?”

“okay.”

At this time, Jang Man-cheol was involved with Thor?

This was the first time I heard this information.

Did you have Thor’s trust from the beginning?

no.

If I remember correctly, he’ll be living as a low-level member of the Thor Guild until at least next year.

It was like that when we first met.

That’s right.

‘As a result of my actions, Jang Man-cheol gained Thor’s trust.’

There was only one thing I could do to get involved with Thor.

Abyss’s rampage and Thor’s trial.

‘Was Jang Man-cheol in charge of this work?’

I never thought things would turn out like this.

I entered the Pantheon with my senior.

Is it because of the mask of welcome?

He had no doubt at all that I was not Jang Man-cheol.

And how far did it go?

“Where are you going in such a hurry?”

A voice so heavy it shook the ceiling was heard from ahead.

A familiar voice.

It was Thor.

“I see the great god.”

The senior who faced Thor hurriedly lowered his head.

But Thor’s eyes did not reach the greeting senior.

It reached me as I stood next to him.

“This is a place where outsiders are not allowed to enter. You know that, don’t you?”

His eyes were on me, but I knew his words were directed at the senior standing next to me.

“An outsider? I was taking Jang Man-cheol with me, whom Thor had called.”

“Jang Man-cheol… Do you really think that this guy is Jang Man-cheol?”

“Huh? What is that…?”

Thor looked at me and said.

I knew it right away.

I thought you’d be a little more understanding.

“You use dirty illusions.”

“I didn’t know you could figure this out.”

“You think I don’t know that you’re carrying the filthy children of Loki in your arms?”

At the same time, Fenrir and Jormungandr, who had been hiding in my arms in a miniature form, jumped out.

– Long time no see, Thor.

-I came to kill you again.

Thor gritted his teeth at the appearance of his mythical enemies.

“You are using the power of the other world’s curse. What is your true identity?”

“I don’t think you really know who I am.”

Now Thor will see my true form.

But still, when I see you say things like this.

‘You don’t treat me like a human being, do you?’

Do you think he is an otherworldly god whose identity is hidden?

It wasn’t a crowd.

“You know that speculation is meaningless.”

I drew my sword.

The mask was removed and his original appearance was revealed.

“What, what is it?”

Jang Man-cheol’s senior, who had brought me here, stepped back in fright.

“Thank you for your guidance.”

He held Gleipnir and the hammer of Hephaestus in both hands.

“Yeah. Guessing is pointless.”

Kwarrung!

Lightning struck around Thor.

The ground shook and a huge lightning bolt split the roof of the Pantheon, and people were heard running from all directions.

“I didn’t know I would be ignored like this even without Mjolnir.”

Thor gritted his teeth, seeming genuinely angry.

“Didn’t you say that useless speculation is meaningless?”

Phagec!

“Then I will torture you until you confess your identity.”

The Lightning God raid has begun.
