How does it feel to step into a B-grade horror game? - 54

54 episodes.

Hakan’s unimaginable kindness shocked and horrified not only Zion, but also Chester and Harold.

“Before that.”

Hakan muttered to Eland in a way that only Eland could hear, then glanced at Fidelis’ extended finger and broke it as if it were a mistake.

“Aa

A broken finger wasn’t going to hurt him. He had broken bones and almost been killed by monsters, but he was hardened to be strong.

But for some reason, a burning pain arose from his broken finger, and he involuntarily let out a groan.

Unaware of Hakan’s brutality in twisting his finger painfully on purpose, Eland just bit his lip tightly.

“You X!”

Eland’s body trembled in rage. He was tempted to cut Hakan’s throat at any moment.

Chester nodded in acknowledgment of Eland’s anger and glanced sideways at Hakan. At the same time, he looked at Fidelis and decided to hide what he thought was cute for the rest of his life. The moment he was caught, his body and mind would be shattered.

You don’t have to go through it to know that. I could only imagine it for a moment, but a cold sweat ran down my spine.

“What are you going to do? I’m not very patient.”

Even if he had grabbed his lifeline for a moment, Eland was not a great man who would give up so easily. His motto was to fight until he won.

Above all, Eland had a high sense of pride. He could never bear to be defeated by someone younger than himself.

He twisted violently, trying to ignore the pain in his burning fingers. With a light gesture, Hakan stepped back. At the same time, Eland jumped to his feet and swung his sword at him again.

Hiss!

A dull, swift sword sliced through the wind and lunged at Hakan. Fluidly dodging his sword, Hakan paused as he dug into his arms and plunged the magical sword into Eland’s heart.

Then he grabbed him by the throat again and threw him to the floor. The hulking Eland was thrown to the ground by Hakan’s hand all too easily.

Hakan put his hands in one pocket and ran another hand back through his hair in annoyance. He wanted to kill him right away, but he didn’t want Fidelis to see himself killing people. He didn’t want to see her face again, as she had been frightened by him.

He glanced at Fidelis and made eye contact with her in a straight line, wondering if he had been looking at her all along. Hakan’s eyes automatically widened, and Fidelis smiled at him.

“Oh.”

I thought of a way to send them away without killing them. An ominous smile spread across Hakan’s face.

“It’s a naughty face.”

Shion stood next to Fidelis and explained the look on Hakan’s face.

“It’s just a pretty smile.”

“Fidelis doesn’t know Hakan yet.”

“Who doesn’t know?”

Hakan’s dark gaze drifted to Shion. He slid behind Isota’s back.

“I think it’s me….”

Shion muttered humbly, and Hakan clicked his tongue briefly and fixed his gaze back on Eland. I wanted to get it out of my sight, find the last place as soon as possible, break the curse, go outside, kill the demon, and stay with Fidelis without any worries.

* * *

“Moo, I’m scared… Hakan-sama is cruel….”

Shion trembled as he spoke, and Hakan gritted his teeth and asked as kindly as he could.

“Then you should have killed him? Like you, who will soon die at my hand?”

Of course, it wasn’t kind to anyone else, but it was something he picked and chok. Shion shook his head and clung to Isota, who was bothered. Eland and Astin had long since been wiped out by Hakan.

It didn’t mean he was dead. He threw the two side by side into the hole where Fidelis had almost fallen. Behind the fan so you can’t stand up right away.

The violence was made possible by Isota’s blindfold of Fidelis. It was deep enough, and it would probably take a while to find Fidelis again.

Before that, they were going to move quickly to another location. I had a lot of other things to do, but I didn’t want to get involved in the hassle. Above all, it didn’t seem like Eland, who had come to take the scythe, would give up easily.

Despite the significant difference in skill, Eland used his skillful fighting skills to land swift strikes at Hakan.

It could not be called weak. If anyone other than Hakan had fought Eland, he would most likely have lost to him. The only ones who were on par were Isota and Shion.

So it was best not to run into Eland. Fidelis didn’t want to change his plans, either. Eager to break the curse and reap the rewards, Eland could have done anything wrong and disrupt Fidelis’ plans. I had to hurry to find the last place.

“Let’s try to interpret the hint again, shall we?”

Unable to find any other hints, Harold suggested. Fidelis searched his memory and read aloud a hint of the last location.

“They said that the huge hall from which the light leaks out is visible, but not visible.”

“Where can you see but not see?”

“Is it just a gimmick?”

“Gimmick?”

Collecting his thoughts for a moment, Isota fiddled with Fidelis’ fingers.

“Well, you know that. There’s something you can see from the outside, but when you come inside, you can’t see it.”

“…….”

As I listened to her, I felt as if some elusive clue was floating around in my mind. Lips pursed, Fidelis groaned faintly.

I’m sure there’s something there. Fidelis bit her nails. Fidelis’ pupils, which had been moving nervously, stopped at the sight of Chester. Her eyes widened and her palms clasped together. Something that had been blurry flashed to his mind.

“Could it be the last place where the monster that brought the scythe back to its original state was?”

It was just an ordinary room. Where there was nothing, there was no door leading to the great hall, not a single glimmer of light.

“Why?”

Harold asked, and after sorting out what she needed to say, she calmly opened her lips and began to explain slowly.

“I’ve been thinking about it based on what my sister told me, but I can’t leave this space. No one. You can’t break a window, you can’t break a door, but the monster came back in through the glass on the balcony.”

Listening to Fidelis’ calm words, they began to discern her words one by one.

“But what if the monster didn’t come in through the door, but through the door?”

“So….”

“Yes, if the door you can see from the outside is a glass window that you can’t see from the inside…”

Alvin cheered, and everyone’s faces lit up around him. Fidelis calmed them down and spoke again.

“Maybe not….”

“You might be right.”

He patted his head in praise and smiled.

“Let’s go check it out, Reese.”

He fell to the ground, but for some reason, Eland felt more pain from the place where Hakan had hit him than he did from the fall.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been beaten up like this, so it was refreshing, but I was more annoyed and angry. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t tried so hard.

He looked down coldly at Astin who was stunned and unable to open his eyes next to him, and then staggered to his feet.

“I’m going to kill you.”

He looked at Asin with blazing eyes, shook his head, and then spit out his phlegm beside him. Then he looked up and looked at the ceiling, but he couldn’t see anything because of the darkness.

He didn’t know how many more floors he had to climb, but he kept his feet on his way to find Hakan again. It wasn’t in his temper to give up like this. Hakan certainly had a scythe, and Eland needed one to break the curse.

At first, Eland wondered if Astin had lied when he saw Hakan without a scythe. But Asten’s visibly embarrassed look seemed to make him truthful.

‘If it’s all his acting, I’m going to kill him.’

Eland took it upon himself to enter a place where Hart was indispensable, and where he could never get out, seeing only the reward. If I was going to give up like this, I wouldn’t have even come in in the first place.

So did everyone who came in here. To use Hart to save someone, or to kill someone, or to sell it for wealth. Everyone’s goals were pretty much the same.

As such, Hart was the most mysterious magic tool on the continent, and at the same time, it was the treasure that everyone wanted to possess the most. Eland was the one who wanted to sell Hart and enjoy the glory of wealth. I didn’t want to live in a war zone and a monster forest anymore.

I didn’t want to hear that he was a good mercenary. No matter how good he was, he had to bow his head and prostrate himself in front of the nobility. He hated it so much that he shuddered.

He would rather be an aristocrat. Even though he was dissatisfied with the caste system, he admired the nobility who would not bow to anyone but their king. What an irony.

However, as a commoner, no matter how expensive his body was, he could not attain the wealth and fame he wanted. Then he saw an announcement. Whoever lifted the curse of the mansion cursed by the devil would be rewarded with Harut.

What is Hart. It was a coveted magic tool in the whole country. All he had to do was sell Hart and he would be able to get out of the boring mercenary gang. Even at a young age, he was forced to cringe because of the aristocracy higher than him.

The fact that the Emperor had Hart was such a big deal that rumors spread even to the country where Eland was.

Without hesitation, Eland headed for the Lessian Empire. I thought there would be a lot of applicants, but there were fewer applicants than I expected. On the contrary, Eland was relieved to see the number of people. The odds have gone up a bit.

But I didn’t expect Hart, who was about to be caught, to be so far away. I didn’t expect to be so helpless by a child.

A crumpled face, Eland dragged his throbbing body upstairs and opened the door to one of the rooms to rest.

Even in the best of physical condition, he was subjected to this condition, and the duel in such an injured state was still more hopeless. He had to think of another way, but he couldn’t have had a meticulous battle plan as he had been fighting blindly with his body.

“It’s best to take whoever you are.”

He frowned and put his fingers back together. Then, suddenly, Fidelis flashed through his mind.

Even though Hakan and Isota wrapped themselves tightly, she was a delicate girl.

He looked outside and stood up with a fishy smile. I could use her. As long as he was taken hostage, it was all over the place.
