91 – Trap

“Is this all….”

Choi Soo-jung wandered around the cathedral for a long time.

Since it is a fairly large cathedral, I guessed that there might be several entrances to get inside, but all I found was a wooden door that one person could barely pass through.

I tried other ways to enter, such as through a window, but it was difficult to enter because the flying monsters were standing there as if guarding them.

It’s not impossible to get rid of all of them, but there’s a chance that more monsters will appear after that.

In the end, it was decided that passing through that door was the only way to enter the cathedral.

“They are openly advertised as traps.”

A route that anyone can easily access.

Because of that, Sujeong Choi had no choice but to be suspicious.

It doesn’t make sense that such an easy path is still open to a subject that has been sealed off so tightly.

However, there is no sharp point, and in the end, there is no choice but to enter the situation knowingly.

Resolutely determined, Soo-jung Choi slowly opened the door with the other hand while holding the ‘stigma’ in one hand.

Kikik.

Dust flying as soon as you open it, as if it hadn’t been opened for a long time.

And beyond the door, there was only darkness, as if no light could reach it.

I was reluctant to go in even further because I had a bad feeling about the opponent’s surprise attack, but I couldn’t back down anymore, so I slowly entered.

Boom!

And when Choi Soo-jung stepped inside, the door closed as if she had been waiting.

As if Choi Soo-jung expected that she could do this, she swung the ‘stigma’ straight toward the door.

Ting. Ting.

However, the door bounces off the blade of the ‘stigma’.

A closer look revealed that only the exterior was a door, but the inside was made of an unknown hard material, so it couldn’t even be scratched.

Choi Soo-jeong tries to get out by putting her magic into it and swinging the brand again.

But the attempt was soon foiled by a familiar voice she didn’t want to hear again.

“Used when guests try to break down the door as soon as they enter.”

Perfect!

With the sound of her fingers snapping, the dark room was brightly lit.

“Ugh.”

Choi Soo-jeong reflexively covers her eyes in a dark room when it suddenly becomes bright.

And at that moment, she felt the energy of her magic rushing towards her, and jumped into the air with her eyes closed.

– Kwaaang!

And after a while, there was a loud explosion and the acrid smell of burning something stimulated her nose.

Now that it was clear that she had fallen into a trap, Choi Soo-jeong remained suspended in the air, not knowing what kind of device she might have set on the floor.

Even if the same attack as before came, there would be no difficulty in avoiding it.

However, contrary to expectations, there was no subsequent attack, and as time passed, the eyes adjusted and the sight returned.

“You can see now. Half a penny?”

“Choi Woo-seok… !”

– Wow.

Choi Soo-jeong found Woo-seok Choi with a confident smile sitting on a luxuriously decorated chair.

When I met the human being who could be said to be the culprit behind everything, I wanted to attack him right away, but I bit my lip and endured it to keep my cool as much as possible.

And I looked around carefully.

Are there any hidden guild members or hidden traps or devices?

“hahahaha, are you scared? You don’t have to worry about that. It’s just you and me here.”

Choi Woo-seok seems to be relieved as if he noticed that Soo-jung Choi is carefully examining the place from the side of her eye.

Then Choi Sujeong strongly denied it, as if telling her not to say nonsense.

“Do you believe anything you say?”

“That’s right. Even if you speak human words to a half-poor with low intelligence, he will understand, keukkeuk.”

Choi Woo-seok openly ridiculed and ridiculed Choi Soo-jeong, but Choi Su-jeong almost lost her reason at the moment, but she pressed down and carefully looked around until the end.

As Choi Woo-seok said, there are no other people or traps in sight.

In the first place, the ceiling was high, but it was the size of a living room in an ordinary home, so it was not an easy space to hide.

However, Choi Soo-jung’s common sense did not understand that Woo-seok Choi appeared alone like this, so he paid more attention.

“Keukkeuk. Are you done looking around the room now? Can you believe me now?”

“Why did you bring us here?”

Ignoring Choi Woo-seok’s words, Choi Soo-jeong asked, and Choi Woo-seok looked at him with a smile on his face.

And after a while, he said in a cold voice.

“Why, why? They’re trying to get rid of everything in this place where no one is there. While being attacked by monsters that are not our hands.”

“You mean bastard. To think he did this not long after the declaration of war.”

“Keukkeuk. So what can you do If you’re that pissed off, you can cut my throat with that scythe, right? Is not it? The cause is with you. Come back alive and bark. The Starlight Guild did that.”

“That’s good. I was thinking the same thing. Beyond killing you, this is a great opportunity to erase the Holy Light Guild from the world.”

“What? Ha ha ha ha ha! Crazy b*tch! Did you take my words seriously? Are you killing me Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Choi Woo-seok suddenly starts laughing.

As if he heard something really absurd, he laughs so loudly that he can’t control his body.

Choi Woo-seok’s attitude of ridiculing and ignoring her until the end made Choi Soo-jeong unable to stand it and rushed towards Choi Woo-seok.

– Taeaeng!

The ‘Stigma’ wielded with all its might with the power of [Cut].

It was an attack that cut monsters in two very easily, as if tofu, but it was blocked very easily.

Not with the sword Choi Woo-seok was wearing at his side, but with his own arm.

Choi Su-jeong’s eyes widened in surprise, while Choi Woo-seok kicked Choi Su-jeong’s stomach.

“Woo-wook.”

Choi Soo-jeong is knocked out of the distance by a single attack.

Choi Woo-seok said while mocking her.

“Using magic is still lame. The days are so slow that I can’t even cut a single radish properly.”

“Shut that mouth!”

Choi Soo-jeong is running again.

Choi Woo-suk drew his sword at that moment and swung it with his magical energy.

The yellow magic that came out of the tip of the sword changes into a half moon shape and sends sparks to Choi Soo-jung.

Ting!

However, as expected, Soo-Jung Choi bounces lightly.

After that, he ran quickly and drew a ‘stigma’ diagonally across Choi Woo-seok’s neck.

“Oops. I guess the defense has improved a bit though? Do you know how to judge just cut it off? If it was like before, you would have been hit more while trying to avoid it.”

“Shut up!”

Choi Woo-suk doesn’t stop mocking him even as he quickly turns his body to the side to avoid it.

Choi Soo-jung burned even more hostility and continued to wield the ‘stigma’.

However, Choi Woo-seok easily avoids and blocks without the slightest distraction.

The attacks were pouring out with all their might, but when they couldn’t even get a small scratch, Choi Soo-jung, who was filled with evil, spurred on the attack.

Choi Woo-seok, who took it easy, spat out in a loud voice.

“The motion is so big, who is going to hit it, you idiot!”

– Puck!

“Kyaaa!”

Choi Woo-seok blocks the ‘stigma’ with his sword and at the same time pushes it away with another kick.

– Bang!

Choi Soo-jung, who flew all the way, hit the door she came in and fell out of the cathedral together with the door.

“Ugh….”

Choi Soo-jeong staggers while clutching her stomach due to abdominal pain while lying on the floor.

I look at Choi Woo-suk as he slowly walks out with disbelief in his eyes.

“Keukkeuk. Why? Strange? I thought it was obviously the same S class and the gap had narrowed, but it was rather one-sided?”

Choi Woo-suk pinpoints and talks about the questions Choi Su-jeong had.

Then he raised the corner of his mouth once again and continued his explanation.

“Because there is no royal road to becoming strong, right? Effort, training, item growth. There are so many other ways.”

“Seol… mind?”

“Oh, why are you quick-witted? That’s right. It’s a drug. That too, through the materials brought from another world through the gate.”

“Such a crazy thing….”

“What are you crazy about? Just as most medicines are made through clinical trials, I use our wealth to feed people and eat them.”

“Feeding without telling him!”

“Isn’t that obvious? Then who eats it!”

Choi Soo-jung clenched her fists in resentment when she was told to eat after verifying the safety through the sacrifice of someone calmly.

I felt sorry for myself because I couldn’t even take revenge on Choi Woo-seok, who used people as experimental tools without hesitation to become stronger.

For a moment, I wondered if it would have been right to give up being human in order to take revenge, but I was soon convinced that it wasn’t.

That way, even if she succeeded in revenge, she would only become another Choi Woo-seok herself.

There is no point in such revenge.

Because it was prepared to escape from the dark past.

“Why? Hearing this, don’t you have the courage to jump any further? Then, shall we tell you a funny story?”

Choi Soo-jung was annoyed by the sudden noise, but since she was treating her stomach with her hand little by little, she decided to just listen.

“Did I really come here alone? Or did he bring his guild members? If you had come, where would everyone have gone?”

At Wooseok Choi’s words, I thought of the guild buildings and the people inside them.
