SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

Black Dragon.

(2) "… … What?" Black Dragon Zhu blinked his eyes.

The head of the top guild at the top lowered his eyelids and then raised them again.

slowly.

Literally, a fleeting amount of time passed.

Suddenly, she narrowed her brow.

"return? What are you talking about?”

“I have been thinking about it for a long time.

Your senior has crossed the Aikim Empire with me.

It would have been easier if I had revealed my identity back then, but back in the day, I didn't trust my seniors yet.

So I hid it until now.”

"......." As the words continued, the expression on Black Dragon's expression grew heavier.

It was clear to me that what I was saying wasn't a joke.

“My seniors often told me.

I don't know where a rookie who doesn't look like this rookie appeared.

He looks like a squirrel for his age.

The old man is right.

I am not a newcomer.”

I summoned a skill card.

"Skill card open." The golden light flashed.

Turn over the shiny card in your hand and show it to the Black Dragon Master + [Regressor's Clockwork] Rank: EX Effect: Automatically activated upon death.

Reverts to 24 hours ago from the moment of death.

Memory and stats even when returning ※However, the higher the Hunter rank, the stronger the penalty is ※The skill copied from Hunter Yusuha + “Wait a minute.”

Black Dragon Lord reached out his left hand and grabbed my hand.

Together with the card he was holding in his hand.

Because of that, the skill card was covered, so he couldn't read the description.

The Black Dragon Lord himself blocked my intention to reveal the skill.

okay.”

Dark eyes.

They resembled a well that is unknown at the bottom.

They were desperate.

They were looking at me urgently.

Across the eyes, at the bottom, there was a span of cold water that was stagnant.

.

please." It must have always been a voice that had always been heard.

There was an unfamiliar tone and trembling.

"I don't know what you're trying to say, but I know what will happen when you say it and hear it, and the end result.

Don't cross between people.

There is a line to be drawn.

No matter how close you are, no matter how close you are, you must not cross that line.”

Hei Dragon Zhou said naturally, as if he had predicted this kind of thing from a long time ago.

Perhaps the naturalness was derived from many experiences in the past.

"Don't tell me your secret.

Don't share it.

If we let it go, Four Kings.

We will cross a river of no return.

When we depend too much on each other, it becomes dependence, not will.”

“I know.

I know.”

"...you and I are good friends.

A reliable colleague.

You shouldn't expect more than this in a relationship.

I take care of my work, and you take care of your life.

That's the best thing.

Isn’t it?”

Black Dragon Zhu was asking me for consent.

Her sincere words made me ponder again.

It was always difficult to decide what kind of relationship I should have with the other person.

“It’s already too late to hear.”

"No, I can go back.

I can make it happen even if we don't talk right now.

I have that ability." "......." Black Dragon Lord was silent.

People woke up and instinctively looked for a well in the plaza of the sea village.

The villagers groaned as they shed the poison that had accumulated in their body from their long sleep.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, I could hear the sound of poisoned breathing coming from all over the place.

Black Dragon Zhu held my right hand and muttered, “Meta.”

The next moment we were out of the plaza, the town's wharf, the ships tethered to the waves, creaking with the waves, the cacophony of the ships being heard by the sea.

For a moment we overheard the waves.

"Okay, okay.

”

As if he had finally made up his mind, Hei Ryong-ju nodded, "I'll listen to you first, but I can't tell you this in my mind." As Black Dragon Zhu waved his hand, a black vortex swirled in the air.

It was as if there was only one place in the world and he painted it black.

He put his arm there without hesitation.

After a while, a bottle of wine was in her hand.

.I was a little surprised, "Is it a skill?" "Yeah.

[Item storage].

Although there is no choice but to store things in a limited way, there is no skill that is more convenient than this to destroy evidence after killing people." Heilongju said nothing casually and then took out two glasses of water.

“Know with glory.

No one really knows that I have this kind of skill.

Among the hunters still alive, you are the first to witness this skill, Sawang.”

I took over the cup from Black Dragon.

For a while, only the bottle was emptied quietly.

Before the drunkenness eroded consciousness, I opened my mouth.

“I am a returnee.”

once again said properly.

“I don’t know where to begin… .

I have the ability to turn back time.

To be precise, the ability to go back 24 hours when you die.

Thanks to this ability, I have overcome countless difficulties.

10th floor too.

20th floor too.

They all used regression skills to survive.”

I showed the skill card to the Black Dragon Lord.

This time, she didn't look away either.

“… … like that." But ah, he sighed.

Like a person holding the last piece of the puzzle that he had been looking for for a long time.

“Did you notice?”

“Very little.

At least I knew [the Prophet] was a lie.”

The black dragon wine tilted the cup.

“No matter how you look at it, it was a very convenient excuse.

I've been watching you all along, but you're not doing [what you already know].

I always fought like this was my last.

okay.

It was not knowing the future, it was going back to the past.”

Black Dragon Zhu looked at my face again.

“I want to ask you something.”

"Please speak." “Battle on the 11th floor.”

A long-standing doubt flowed from her mouth.

“On the 11th floor, our tower experienced a group battle for the first time.

Everyone jumped on the 11th floor with excitement that the stage after the 10th floor had been held for the first time in years.

There he fought the Demon King.

Remember?”

“Yes.”

“At that time, miraculously, not a single hunter lost his life.

There were people injured, but no one died anyway.

But……”

But, the Black Dragon Lord hesitated for a long time.

"Perhaps… … ." "Yes." “… … Did you come back then?”

“Yes.”

“Until there are no casualties?”

"Yes." Black Dragon Zhu closed his lips.

The well that was submerged under her eyes was a little softer.

“How many times… … ?”

“A lot.”

“Ten times? Twenty?”

“I think it was a little bit more.”

"Even the 12th floor?" “After that, it continued.

I always felt that way until I met Raviel.”

"......." Heukryongju's exhalation interval shortened.

"Why? So for what reason...

.

There is no reason why you should.”

“It’s not because I’m born with a good personality.

If I had gone up to the 11th floor alone, I would never have been able to repeat it dozens of times or hundreds of times.

As always, it was you who pushed my back.”

I looked straight into the black dragon's eyes.

“Every time the number of people who died on the stage decreased, the black dragon laughed a little.”

A time she can't remember.

“Until then, I had never seen Black Dragon Lord smile.

It's not a laugh, it's a smile that really shines with joy.

During the attack, when the hunters died in units of hundreds, they did their duty with an expressionless and rigid attitude...

.

Black Dragon Wine has changed a bit since casualties fell to double digits.”

Her transformation that only I can remember.

"Oh my gosh! Probably less than 40 hunters died!”

“It’s absurd… .

Maybe even 10 people didn’t die.”

“Is this possible? was it possible On a battlefield like this.”

The laughter that bloomed as if the tightly closed petals were in full bloom.

I still vividly remember that moment.

“I saw it and thought it was very beautiful.”

“……”

“I was happy.

It was the first time I realized that being me could really make someone smile.”

I smiled.

"thanks.

Black Dragon.

Elder." "why… … ?”

“Thanks to my seniors, I was able to walk a path that I would never have walked alone.

Now I am loving my life.

You are with the person you love.

Even if he didn't intend it, I was able to take a step because of the smile he showed me that day.”

I wanted to say this.

I wanted to tell “Senior is someone who gives strength to someone.

At least for me it is.

Seniors are not alone.

Even if my senior worries about the day he says goodbye every time he meets someone, I don’t have to worry about him alone.”

I have the skill to bring back the day of the dead.

“I’m fine.”

i don't die “You don't have to stop trying to assassinate me.

Don't worry about what happens if you don't stop it.

I am here, and I will continue to be here as long as you allow it.”

"......." "It's okay to fail." "Say that...

… ." "Now you don't have to be afraid of failure.

It's okay to do whatever your senior wants to achieve.

Even if something goes wrong, I can give my senior another chance again and again.”

“You can’t say that.”

The Black Dragon Lord was afraid.

What she fears the most, I already know.

Even when the three of us were drunk with the Paladin, the Black Dragon Master murmured.

“You can’t be late.

Four Kings.”

“You must never be late.”

Something irreversible happens.

The Black Dragon Lord feared it the most.

So, I decided to give her the most earnest gift I could give her.

A word that only I can give in this world.

“You can be a little late.”

"......." The black dragon stopped as if stabbed by a thorn.

“As long as I am by your side, nothing is irreversible.

Anything can be restarted.

So it's okay to take a little more risk and gamble.

Elder.

Seniors deserve it.”

The wind that crossed the sea ruffled Black Dragon Zhu's black hair.

“You are much more skilled than me.

Manage your organization and start a business… .

Rule the entire tower.

That's a talent I don't have.

Likewise, the talent to start over was only given to me by chance, not my senior.”

my dear friend “We can do a lot more with just the two of us.”

Therefore, I did not see her shed tears.

He bowed his head slightly, and just took the Black Dragon Lord's hand.

“I am already dependent on my seniors, so please also depend on me.”

"you… … , really." The Black Dragon Lord swallowed his voice one by one.

“You are a bad person.

Having said this, can you make this story a thing that never happened? it.

If you die and go back to the day before, our conversations will disappear too, so it's okay.

So, I'm going to die if I ever want to make a conversation out of nowhere...

?”

“Yes.”

“Crazy.”

Black Dragon Joo grabbed my hand and said, “Crazy...”

Black Dragon Zhu murmured, "Wait.

I'll use you until you get tired of it.

What? Regression? You have such an ability, but you don't know it's scary, and you dare to share it with me? You really don't know what kind of person the leader of the Black Dragon Guild is.

Let it go.

Crazy bastard, crazy bastard..." I waited for the trembling of the Black Dragon Lord to subside.

As time passed, the Black Dragon Lord spoke in a slightly calmed voice.

“Anastasia.”

“……”

“That’s my real name.

Gongja Kim.”

I slowly lifted my head, and Black Dragon Zhu had a thin smile on his face, "I'll make good use of it, so prepare yourself in the future." "Yes." I also genuinely laughed.

“Anastasia-senpai.”

people climbing the tower.

Among them, there was a colleague who shared my secrets for the first time.
