SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

The ultimate king of virtue.

(1) ===================== - You are watching an amazing video right now! - A witch known as the Black Witch is in charge of the 11th floor attack team.

This is the latest video material we just obtained from BBS.

Ah! Let's zoom in on this part.

-Yes, this is the part! Let's pause the video for a moment.

Quiet waiting room.

I was watching TV blankly.

-Dear viewers, can you see it? The Black Witch is holding hands with another hunter.

This hunter is presumed to be the Four Kings.

-If the video data has not been manipulated, it appears that the Four Kings hunted the 11th floor stage boss with a single sword.

It is often called one-shot one-kill among hunters.

However, no case of winning a boss monster with one shot has been found so far.

Casters and commentators shuddered.

- That is, you mean the first time? -Yes.

That's right.

Of course, the Black Witch helped, but the hunter who directly faced the boss monster seems to be one of the four kings.

At the bottom of the screen, there was a caption for the breaking news, [The Four Kings this afternoon press conference].

-Everyone, let's watch the next video together.

- The four kings who had been covered by a veil during that time.

It finally showed up yesterday afternoon.

He returned to Babylon as a transport seat.

As you can see, the Black Witch and the Sword Star are accompanying them.

-Doesn't it look like two people are escorting the Four Kings? -Yes.

In order to convey the atmosphere of the scene to the viewers, we will raise the voice for a while.

There was a video that looked like someone had taken it with a cell phone.

In the middle of the screen, I was walking expressionlessly.

- Please take a look here! - Don't push me! What can you say! -Black Dragon Juice, when can we hear the official announcement? - What kind of relationship are you two? .

Pick! I couldn't take it any longer and pressed the remote control.

Bae Huo-ryeong, who was watching TV next to me, frowned.

- Oh, why are you off? I had fun watching it for a while.

I opened my mouth.

“Because I feel like I’m going to die of shame!”

This is the waiting room.

One night has already passed since he was recognized by the swordsman.

Today is the day of the press conference about the progress of attacking the tower.

Originally, the giant guild leaders had to take care of themselves, but this time, I was also invited as a special guest.

The interview will be held shortly.

- How about a little bit? You're not going to die anyway.

“I still hate it!”

I didn't have anything to do before the interview, so I wanted to watch TV, but this was a mistake.

- Oh, Mr.

okay.

Then switch to another channel.

“After all, all the channels are just talking about me!”

Regardless of whether it was a news channel or not, almost all broadcasts dealt with the 10th to 20th floors.

Where is the only television broadcast? The same thing happened when I turned on the internet.

After sleeping one night and waking up, he said he became a celebrity.

I am like that now.

[The goddess of protection points out that your achievement is that unusual.] The holy sword trembled from my waist.

[Fame tax is like the daily tax a hero pays.

You need to get used to the position of the hero, the goddess of protection advises!] "......." I looked down at the holy sword, feeling very burdened.

“I was so tired yesterday that I couldn’t even talk much and fell asleep… .

There, Goddess? Aren't you overestimating me?" [You are the Light!] The holy sword vibrated more strongly.

Maybe it's because of his mood, but he seemed like a fan who was really good at idols.

[The goddess of protection whispers that I still remember clearly.

You climbed the imperial pavilion and exploded the lion you alone! From now on, you are truly dignified when you declare that you 'I entrust the empire to you'...

.] “Aaaah!”

I covered my ears.

"stop! stop! That's what I said with utter excitement!”

But to no avail.

The voice of the sword was transmitted directly into the head, not the ears.

The holy sword constantly whispered my dark history.

[The goddess of protection says: You don't know how to love yourself as a hero! The words of a hero without narcissism are always miserable and make those around them unhappy.

In that sense, your confidence is very desirable! That's awesome!] Yes.

The goddess of protection was none other than my big fan.

"stop… please stop...

… !”

As if I had once dabbed the flame, the holy sword dabbled at me.

At least it doesn't matter if I burn the fan's heart in a place I can't see.

The voice of this knife was broadcast live to me 24 hours a day.

[The goddess of protection confesses.] [Happy to have a second owner like you!] My God.

Have you ever heard someone next to you sincerely praise you? Even dismissing myself as a black history, constantly muttering and praising the memories I want to forget as soon as possible? I'd rather kill [Especially, the moment you muttered, 'The master has a responsibility to protect his own people,' is a really famous scene...

.] This really doesn't work.

I took out the fish oil (御II油) from my backpack.

Fish oil is the oil used to clean knives.

The cloth was lightly moistened with oil and glared at the holy sword.

"You started first.

This." My hand got closer to the blade.

The holy sword flickered with a white light.

[The goddess of protection feels threatened.] [The goddess of protection asks you to stop.] [The goddess of protection… .] 10 minutes later.

[The goddess of protection apologizes to you for doing it wrong.] Shiny-.

Thanks to my careful toweling, the holy sword became clean.

The blade became transparent like a mirror, reflecting my face.

However, the holy sword was engulfed in shame and trembled.

"Ugh.

It's quiet now." I looked down at the more gentle holy sword.

“So why are you a sword while you are a constellation? Have you possessed a sword from the beginning?”

The constellation (星座), as I understood it, was like the manager of the stage.

There may be cases where it started out as a monster and became a constellation like the devil.

I couldn't imagine how the 'sword' could become a constellation.

When I answered my question like this, the holy sword gave off a soft white light.

[The goddess of protection shakes her head.] [The constellation is easy to understand as 'something that represents' the world.] Representative of the world.

[The goddess of protection says.] [He was originally a Holy Spirit revered as a god.

However, the founder of the empire, 'Lephanta Aikim', split himself with five swords and sealed them.] [He is the first holy sword, 'Idol'.] I blinked.

“Is the sword’s name idol?”

[Yes.] And the goddess of protection listed five swords.

[The First Sword, Idol.] [The Second Sword, Compassion.] [The Third Sword, Prayer.] [The Fourth Sword, Sacrifice.] [The Third Sword, Salvation (救援) .] [The ideal is the sword of the five sisters.] [The goddess of protection boasts that if you collect all the sister swords, you will be able to regain the same strength as in its heyday.] “Ho-oh.”

In short, the twinkling black A fragment of a real holy sword.

It was said that in order to draw true power, the other four swords had to be found.

“It’s fun.

So where are the sister swords?”

No answer came back.

An awkward silence settled in the waiting room.

“Honey? Goddess? Where are your sisters?”

silent answer.

My eyes narrowed.

“…you don’t even know?”

After a while, a soft voice rang out.

[The goddess of protection exercises the right to remain silent.] “In the end, you are saying that you do not know.”

[You can feel your presence when you are close, protests the goddess of protection.] I shrugged.

“Well, it’s not urgent right now.

Anyway, it must have at least 1/5 of its power.

Woo Sang Gum Mr.

What can you do?”

[I can receive absolute support from the people of Ai-Kim.] “I know that better than anyone.

Anything else?”

Paaah! As if waiting for the holy sword, it emitted light at its maximum output.

“Aww! my eyes!? My lying down!?”

I covered my eyes and rolled over on the floor.

I heard the shriek of the holy sword in my head.

[The Goddess of Protection boasts that she is confident in radiating light.] “I’ve seen that too exhaustingly, so of course you know!”

Oh my gosh.

It's a shame that he temporarily protects his eyes with an auror.

I almost went blind! “No, what can I do other than to be supported by the people of the Empire and to shine!”

Silence passed.

The holy sword shone dimly.

As a human being, he seemed to be stuttering.

[I am confident in writing monsters.] "......." [The goddess of protection hastily adds that she is also confident in writing humans.] Smart.

Knock.

In the midst of absurd silence, someone knocked on the waiting room door.

I quickly put the holy sword into the sheath.

From the point of view of other people, the appearance of me talking with the sword would be nothing but a madman.

"who are you?" "it's me." A witch's voice came from outside the door.

“It’s been noisy ever since.

What's going on?”

"it's okay.

There is nothing!”

"okay… ?”

The witch seemed suspicious, but did not investigate further.

“The press conference starts in five minutes.

The reporters will probably be pouring out questions like crazy.

By the end of the press conference, the 21st floor will be open.

After we've properly answered the reporters, we can head straight to the 21st floor.

Do you understand?”

"Yes!" “Because the answer is really excellent… .

Don't be late and come out." Footsteps were heard over the door.

thump.

After confirming that the witch's steps had completely moved away, I pulled out my holy sword again.

And I looked at the blade quietly.

“To sum up, there is absolutely no use other than to shine.”

[The goddess of protection protests against unfair opinions… .] "done.

From now on, you are not a goddess of protection, but a shining one.

The name of the Holy Sword is a shame!”

Come to think of it, this constellation was pitiful! Didn't he fail to protect his world and be eaten by the Demon King of Autumn Rain? In the end, I had to carry it and protect the world of this constellation.

Like the angler, this constellation was not in a position to raise its head to me.

“And it’s too noisy.

Even with just one swordsman, my head is already full of capacity.

You keep talking about Goddess of protection, goddess of protection, and you're out of your mind! From now on, don't talk to me unless you really need it." [The goddess of protection is… .] “Uh-huh.

I think I'm going to give it back to the Aikim Empire.

Do you understand, twinkle?”

There was silence for a while.

After a while, the holy sword trembled.

[The twinkle replies, yes, warrior.] It was the moment when he obtained the constellation.

2.

The press conference was held in the square.

Not only the central square but also the alleys were full.

A crowd that could easily exceed tens of thousands.

As we walked out onto the stage set in the middle of the square, camera flashes went off everywhere.

Witch, swordsman, me.

The three of us were seated side by side at the prepared table.

"-Thank you for your welcome." It was the witch who grabbed the microphone, and as the witch's serene voice flowed, cheers rose from the corner of the square.

“Ahhhhh!”

“Look here, Black Dragon Lord! Just once!”

A group of people waved placards, even brought in a photo of a magazine cover modeled on by a witch.

As a female hunter, Black Dragon Zhu was enjoying unparalleled popularity.

The witch bowed her head and greeted her before the appearance of a saint.

We attacked the 20th floor from the first floor.

It is a great achievement as highlighted by various media companies, broadcasters, and small media.

We thought about how to announce this joyous event, but… you did not have to worry about it, everyone promoted it.

Yes.

Thank you very much for saving the publicity cost.”

A small laugh broke out from the reporters occupying the front row of the stage, "But there's something else we're most proud of this time around." The square slowly became quiet.

"It's not that the attack on the 10th floor, which everyone has been longing for for years, has finally come true.

It's not that they attacked the 20th floor at a speed that nobody expected.

Zero casualties.

Not a single fatality occurred.

That I didn’t… I’m more than happy with it.”

After a little humor, he reveals his sincerity.

Even to me as a novice to the speech, the Black Dragon's Witch skillfully led the interview from the beginning.

I wondered if it was really the same person as the person who acted like a fool while trying on some clothes yesterday.

"Everyone, please look down for a moment." Said the witch: "Look at the floor of the Babylonian square you are treading on.

You will see names engraved on each stone.

The names of the fallen warriors.

These are the names of our forefathers who gave their lives to attack the tower.

.”

The cameras of the reporters lit the floor all at once: “When the second floor and the third floor were attacked, countless names were engraved on the floor.

Thanks to their sacrifice, we are where we are today.

I am truly delighted to be able to make this declaration in front of these people…”

A witch's voice echoed through the square: "Today, we don't write anyone's name in the square." The reporters took turns taking the square tiles and the witch, which decided the picture to be published in the newspaper and the mood of today's interview.

The crowd shouted the witch's nickname and cheered.

.' As I watched the interview, I kept my expressionless expression.

I glanced up at the sky with a relaxed mind [01:22:10] It was the same as when the 11th floor opened.

Even now, a clock of light is drawn in the sky.

The moment the number points to 0: 0: 0, the 21st floor 'I want to finish the interview and go to the 21st floor...' As the press conference proceeded smoothly, the reporters' questions and the witch's answers came and went.

“This is reporter John Evans of Babylon Daily News!”

A reporter jumped to his feet.

“I have a question for the newly ranked 3rd place king.”

'Yes? me?' I looked at the reporter.

Naturally, the eyes of the people gathered in the square also focused on me.

“There is a lot of talk about the sudden rise in the rankings this time around.

In particular, the speculation that he is [a large rookie who has been secretly raised by large guilds for a very long time] is gaining persuasive power!”

"Huh… .”

“If this is true, it would be a story that the Four Kings were intentionally created heroes by the giant guilds.

What do you think of these allegations!”

murmur murmur.

The square became a bit noisy.

“There are also considerable voices of concern that giant guilds will unite and monopolize the 10th to 20th floors.

In particular, I heard that Sawang-nim has an exclusive right to the 20th floor! Is it true!”

The air was even more turbulent.

tt The witch sitting next to her was expressionless, but she clicked her tongue in a sound that only me could hear.

She turned off the mic and muttered.

“Aggro.

don't answer I will take care of it.”

"Nope." I shook my head.

“Anyway, people like that will always come out.

At some point, I have to properly state my position.”

"But… .”

"Fine." I reached out to the witch.

“Give me the microphone.”

"......" My will was firm.

Before going up to the 21st floor, such aggro will definitely cut off the buds.54.
