#80. Bet

“······ Huh?”

Something happened in an instant.

“Uh uh…”

Lee Yoo-hyeon was kidnapped by something that looked like a monster and was very fast.

Right in front of your eyes.

······Should I go get it?

“No, I told you not to tell me…”

What I heard correctly was ‘Please tell me well’, but in the end, it means to ask you to hide the truth.

Since Lee Yu-hyeon asked for it, it would be right for him to do so, but ······.

If.

But what if it becomes dangerous?

I heard that Lee Yu-hyeon died once.

I also heard that if you die, you cannot come back to life.

“Ah, uh…”

I want to believe.

I want to trust and wait, but anxiety prevents that.

I finally made a decision.

“······Let’s follow.”

Lee Yoo-hyeon must also have an idea.

Because of this, rash actions are prohibited, but I still wanted to follow.

‘Let’s never interrupt. As long as I watch from a distance… It’ll be fine.’

I watch it from a place where I can’t be seen, and if it seems to be okay, I go back immediately.

After finishing her resolution, Dohanna used the insight plan.

Insight is not an ability that can only be activated against people.

You can also investigate traces of something.

“This way….”

Dohanna followed the trail.

I also used the opening to go as fast as possible.

I wonder if 5 minutes passed like that.

Arrived in front of a certain forest.

Dohanna swallowed her saliva.

Carefully, very carefully, I entered the forest.

“Dohanna?”

Then a voice came.

Her shoulders trembled.

“Huh…? Mr. Yoohyeon?”

“What are you doing here?”

“I, that, Yoohyeon followed me…”

Lee Yoo-hyeon was safe.

“I’m sorry…”

“Okay. It’s okay because nothing happened.”

“But… ….”

“If you’re sorry, go for a walk. Go to bed early.”

“I will go for a walk. Going to bed early… Is a bit difficult.”

Lee Yoo-hyeon smiled.

“Okay, I need to stop nagging. I will get tired of the game someday.”

“······It’s not a game.”

The reason I stayed up all night is not because of the game.

It was to keep Jang Ha-ra and Seo Na-ri in check.

All three of them tried to break into Lee Yoo-hyeon’s room, so they kept each other in check.

That’s why I couldn’t sleep.

Perhaps this situation will last for a few more days.

“What did you do anyway? In a forest like that…”

I was kidnapped, but I came out in 5 minutes.

That’s perfectly fine.

Fortunately, it was strange.

“Umm, what did you do…”

Lee Yoo-hyeon smiled and started talking.

***

5 Minutes ago.

I thought.

f*cked.

[ Use the skill, ‘Observation’. ]

[ The use of the skill has been cancelled. ]

[ Cannot be used on the target. ]

This doesn’t work either.

[ A sub quest is created. ]

Quests have also come down.

=

{ Sub Quest – Survival }

You have been kidnapped by a certain king. Get out of the woods alive.

Clear Condition – Survival

Reward – Skill Enhancement Coupon x 5

Penalty for Failure – Death

=

The monster king opened his mouth.

“It would be better to hear from the person himself. Answer me, are you the one who killed Lee Hye-seong?”

Arrogant tone and posture.

A gaze looking down on you.

There were not just one or two things I didn’t like.

“·······.”

If you fight, can you win?

Probably not.

“Whoa.”

The name of the last villain is ‘Yu Yeo Han’.

He was a villain with the position of a mid-boss.

And as I said before, the power Yeohan Yoo has is the power she received from that monster king.

Half strength, to be exact.

That half-strength killed the main character four times in the days when it was equivalent to the old story.

As a rough estimate, the monster king must have twice that power, so he might be stronger than Dohanna.

“Yes.”

Even though I maxed out my 4th life, I still couldn’t guarantee victory.

This is enemy camp, and there are monsters everywhere.

“I killed it.”

However, since it is a quest, there is definitely a hole to escape.

The condition is survival, not victory.

“hahahaha, this is very difficult. I had a contract with that bastard Lee Hye-seong…”

······Contract.

Fortunately, the monster king didn’t intend to kill me just yet.

“Unfortunately, you have to do it for me.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Simple.”

The monster king rose from his throne.

“Help me get out of here.”

“・・・・・Help?”

“Yes, Lee Hye-sung was a human with ‘qualities’ that she hadn’t seen in 50 years. You killed it, so you should do it instead.”

“I must have that quality or something.”

“Yes. Isn’t that a lucky thing for you? Because there is a hole to survive here.”

“·······.”

“How about it? You just need to break the seal. It’s easy.”

I bowed my head.

Help yourself instead of not killing— ok.

As ‘B’, this is an offer I can never refuse.

To the end, in that guy’s mind, that’s what it means.

I grinned.

“So, are you saying you can’t go out alone after all?”

I found it.

How to survive here.

“Then let me make a suggestion in reverse.”

Further, how to defeat the monster king.

“Let’s make a bet with me.”

I squeezed the potion I took out of the subspace and exploded it.

[ Sync to the second life. ]

[ Synchronization rate – 100% ]

100% Made with 40 potions.

From 70% or more, the number of potions used increased exponentially, so I used a lot.

I have no regrets.

[ Use the skill, ‘Agile Movement’. ]

I got this skill thanks to you.

[ Summon the artifact ‘Moonlight’. ]

As Moonlight’s basic option, even equipped with speed buff, and activated super sense to the limit.

Now you can run away anytime.

The monster king stared at me with an expressionless expression.

“hahahahaha!!”

Started laughing.

“I like people who have a pulpit. It’s better than shivering in fear.”

“That’s great news.”

I don’t know this guy very well.

The only information I have is that it was ‘the existence that was killed by giving strength to Yoo Yeo-han’.

I can just make an analogy.

“Okay, tell me the content of the bet.”

It must be a pretty cool personality if you willingly give up half of your strength.

He would be arrogant because he wouldn’t have thought he was going to die.

That arrogance must have clouded his judgment.

But at that time, I was in a state of being “Blind by love.”

No matter how much I try to fool you, it will only close the opening negotiations.

So be careful.

“It’s simple. Fight me If you win, I’ll do whatever you want.”

“Ha ha ha! Good night! Then right now—”

“Dan.”

You can’t fight now.

The period originally intended to capture the monster king.

I need to get half a year of time.

“Should I give myself time to become stronger?

“Time to get stronger?”

“I am weak right now. Just wait half a year Let’s fight then.”

“Half a year…”

Of course, the monster king will reject this offer.

Because it’s a bad offer.

You just have to force them to agree, but there’s no reason to go the hard way.

“What do I gain by accepting this?”

So the important thing is to make it ‘unrejectable’.

I spoke confidently.

[ Use the skill, ‘bluff’. ]

“It’s an opportunity.”

“…Opportunity?”

“Yes, your chance to get out of here.”

You know what?

When suggesting something, don’t just offer it.

A reward worthy of anyone’s eye. Offers will not be accepted without such compensation.

But no matter how much you think about it, what if there is no reward worth giving?

Can be replaced with ‘threaten’.

“I heard you can’t go outside the forest? If I bounce now, will you have to wait a long time again?”

“·······.”

“Besides, am I just going to jump out? The government and associations are all conspiring and will not let anyone come around here.”

The monster king hardened his expression.

“It wasn’t the pulpit, it was arrogance.”

aaah!!

Something like momentum came out.

The feeling of facing a typhoon with your bare body. Cold sweat broke out.

[ Skill, ‘Use bluff. ]

「I am not afraid.」

This was a bluff used by me.

“Do you think you can escape?”

「I can do it.」

“There’s no way I can’t do it.”

「It’s not even an urgent quest.」

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“You have too much confidence.”

“Did I, who was deliberately captured in the first place, not bring a means of escape?”

Bullsh*t is strong.

“······You bastard.”

Because it is the power to make others believe.

“······· Tsk.”

The monster king has gained momentum.

“If you don’t come back in half a year, all the monsters in this forest will destroy your world.”

“Do it yourself.”

And it worked.

“Go away now.”

“See you in half a year.”

[ You have cleared the quest. ]

Survived.

.

.

.

“That’s how it happened.”

“Wow… That’s amazing. On an equal footing with such beings…”

Dohanna was impressed.

“Then are you going to fight in half a year?”

“Yes.”

“Alone…?”

“No.”

“It’s too dangerous… Yes? I beg your pardon?”

“I’m not going alone.”

I told you.

I’m cheating.

I’m going to take all the power I can gather and push it away.

“·······.”

Dohanna looked at me with her shocked face.

“Don’t look at me like that. Because this is the best.”

A ‘political party party’ can only be proposed in favorable circumstances.

I am currently at a disadvantage.

Think about it.

The sight of countless monsters attacking the city.

If a civilian is killed, it is a loss of public opinion, and if a building is destroyed, it is a financial loss.

It’s going to be a fight with nothing to gain.

But, what if you take the heroes from here?

It becomes a comfortable fight where you don’t have to protect anyone, just catch the monster.

It’s like the difference between offense and defense.

“Still, it was dangerous. It’s a big deal if you fail.”

“It was dangerous, though.”

But I think it worked out somehow.

As a result of the test the other day, ‘quick movements’ performed better than expected.

“Well, isn’t it important to come back alive?”

The remaining time is half a year.

There are so many things to do.

Preparing for battle and finding out the location of Yeo-Han.

Among them, Yoo Yeo-han couldn’t even find the president of the association, so we have to hurry up.

Oh, I already thought of the means.

“······Was Joo Hyun-ah coming late?”

The person who saved us a house.

You just need to meet that person.

Because she is the world’s best intelligence expert.

“I have to work hard.”

Let’s definitely find it.

Before Yoo Yeo-han, who ‘ran away’, entered the forest.

Somehow.
