Chapter 112

#Episode 112

“Oh my, Yeo-ul, are you still doubting Lord Hyun-soo?”

“How outrageous, how impudent.”

“Do you understand? Your perspective is different.”

“To think you’d try to surpass a Monarch’s insight with the petty vision of the Human Realm.”

My companions began teasing Yeo-ul even though they were about to die soon.

I chuckled softly, took Yeo-ul’s hand, and brought her to sit beside me.

“You’ll listen to me well now, right?”

Yeo-ul, with slightly teary eyes and puffed cheeks, nodded her head.

[Now then, next round-!]

Now all my companions abandoned their egos and began investing together wherever I placed my bets.

It was the moment a pseudo-investment scam group with a 100 percent win rate was formed.

* * *

Monarch’s Realm Management Headquarters.

Among them, the Gambling Management Team was in a state of emergency.

One of the VIPs was showing a 100 percent win rate.

And that was for 40 matches straight.

Usually, VIPs have good judgment, so they achieve about a 70 percent win rate.

Some monsters occasionally reach up to 80 percent at best.

But 100 percent?

One hundred percent!

There was clearly a problem here.

Of course, cheating was impossible due to the Lord’s War system.

All match brackets were completely randomized, and they began after performing the ‘Ritual of Truth’ before battle started.

Therefore, this was almost purely skill-based.

You might wonder what the problem was, but their hearts weren’t at ease.

With a 100 percent accuracy rate, rumors of rigging were inevitable.

The VIP Room already had issues with fairness and such, and showing such insane odds would make things even more dangerous.

“What should we do about this…?”

“I don’t know either, damn…”

“How do you regulate someone who gets everything right through pure skill?”

“Regulating would also be a problem – it’s not just anyone, but the Lord of Souls, a candidate for the next Divine Seat.”

In this situation, there was only one method.

Hide it, grit their teeth and hide it.

Give out the dividends and make it completely anonymous so it would never be discovered!

Everyone seemed to have similar thoughts, as they began acting in unison as if they had made a pact.

It was the moment an unprecedented 100 percent win rate legend was being established in the Lord’s War.

* * *

“Wow, the mana is multiplying!”

Of course, a Hunter’s strength isn’t determined by mana alone, but it’s definitely not a stat that can be ignored.

Moreover, that mana was increasing rapidly, practically breeding like offspring.

Despite profiting for nearly 70 matches, no restrictions were being imposed.

‘Is this normal for VIPs?’

I wasn’t sure, but thinking that good things were good things, I stood up from my seat.

“Where are you going?”

“Now that we’ve earned this much, I should look around the shop. There might be something helpful.”

“Ah, the place that frog mentioned earlier?”

“Yeah.”

As I left the VIP Room, I could clearly see the shop at the left end, just as I’d been told.

It was a shop divided into 5 floors, with higher-grade items on the upper floors.

It seemed to sell not only items usable inside, but also artifacts and equipment.

“Let’s look around slowly starting from the 1st floor.”

“Sure, we have plenty of time anyway.”

Only Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and I came this way, while the rest decided to make their own bets.

With the thought that if they lost, I could restore them later, I began exploring the shop.

The 1st floor was indeed the 1st floor for a reason – there wasn’t much that seemed helpful.

There were occasionally artifacts that increased mana, but they were at such a weak level that they didn’t seem very helpful for people like us.

“I guess you can’t get full from the first spoonful.”

“It’s disappointing, but cheap things are cheap for a reason.”

Just as I was about to move to the 2nd floor in disappointment, the Store Owner who had been watching me carefully approached quietly.

He seemed to have approached after seeing the VIP badge on my chest.

“There’s a separate space that only VIP customers can see. Would it be alright if I guide you there?”

“That would be great!”

Despite his rough appearance, he smiled warmly and continued his friendly service.

He clearly knew who the big spender was.

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon naturally linked arms with me and followed along.

“Yeo-ul might kill me if she sees this.”

“A summon following its master – is that a problem?”

“When you put it that way, I have nothing to say.”

As I entered inside while receiving such kind treatment from the store owner, a dazzling scenery completely different from outside unfolded.

Items that looked like treasures at first glance were spread out in rows.

Of course, since I had Desperado, I wasn’t interested in weapons at all.

Mostly, I was looking for things to give to my companions.

“Come to think of it, doesn’t Hunter Baek Do-hyeon use a staff? I heard mages are more sensitive to such items.”

“I used to have one, but it disappeared when I was revived, so I haven’t found a satisfactory one yet.”

“Let’s find you one. Increasing combat power is a major matter.”

“If you’re looking with your eyes, I’d be grateful.”

When we entered the staff corner of the VIP lounge, countless staffs were hanging there.

There were many treasure-like items, such as ones woven from lightning-struck wood or made from ancient trees that had slept in eternal snow, but none caught my eye.

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon was sparkling his eyes like a boy who came to a toy store, but he was just looking around earnestly as if there was nothing he really wanted.

“Hmm. Is there nothing here…”

As I passed by looking at the staffs one by one for a while, at some point the surroundings suddenly became dark.

When I looked around belatedly, this area was a place that sold corrupted weapons, mainly demonic swords and such.

I had entered because I could suppress this level of malice myself.

I knew well that darkness wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

As I was looking around for a while.

“…Bingo.”

I could see one staff quietly holding its breath to avoid catching my attention.

But it was clearly visible to my eyes.

The dark spirit trembling inside the staff.

“Let’s go with that one.”

“You saw it too?”

“Of course. It seems scared because of me, so would Hunter Baek Do-hyeon like to try touching it?”

“Okay.”

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon grasped the hanging staff in his hand.

It was an ancient tree split and bound in three branches with a transparent gem contained at the end.

The description said it was an adaptive weapon where the gem’s color changed according to the element used by its owner.

And Hunter Baek Do-hyeon was.

“Wow, it’s pretty, isn’t it?”

Since he was an all-rounder who used all attributes, the gem began to shine in full natural colors.

“Oh!?”

“What, what? An all-rounder??”

“Moreover, that is…”

Several people noticed and began looking at Hunter Baek Do-hyeon from a distance.

Seeing the gazes mixed with admiration and concern, it seemed they also knew what was sleeping in this staff.

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon chuckled and stroked the staff a few times.

“It’s a shy child.”

Then he hugged the staff with all his might.

Then the dark spirit hiding inside couldn’t overcome Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s power and popped out.

“Hello?”

The dark spirit that revealed itself from inside had the appearance of a black raven.

The raven stared at Hunter Baek Do-hyeon for a long time.

Perhaps it was seeking silent proof.

I quietly withdrew my killing intent and secretly cast Recall Decree on Hunter Baek Do-hyeon.

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s already brilliant power bloomed fully, and beautiful elements flowed like a river in all directions.

“Wow…”

“Amazing… Is he a Monarch?”

“To think I’d get to see such a sight.”

After a moment, Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, who had withdrawn all his power, opened his arms.

The raven looked back and forth between me and Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, gauging my reaction.

‘Well, look at that?’

It seemed to roughly understand the relationship between me and Hunter Baek Do-hyeon.

When I quietly nodded, only then did the raven nestle into Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s arms.

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon gently scratched the raven’s chin and touched foreheads with it.

“Will you make a contract with me too?”

Gone was the female general-like demeanor, and at the appearance of a beautiful maiden, the raven made a pleased sound and nodded.

“Yes, from now on you’re Raven.”

Seemingly pleased with the quite cool name, Raven made cawing sounds and sat on Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s shoulder, rubbing against his cheek.

I had heard that dark and light spirits are rare and don’t reveal themselves easily.

I heard they don’t appear unless a king directly designates and commands them, but to think one would come out like this.

I had witnessed quite a rare sight.

“Then, shall we look around at the rest?”

“Great!”

After introducing Raven to the other spirits, the excited Hunter Baek Do-hyeon linked arms with me again and stuck close.

Hoping this sight wouldn’t be discovered by Kim Yeo-ul, I began touring the VIP shop.

Indeed, there were many splendid weapons that were dazzling to the eyes.

But what I need isn’t weapons or anything like that—it’s artifacts.

Or weapons to give to my companions.

Our equipment was already on the poor side, so I needed to take this opportunity to upgrade everything significantly.

Yeo-ul’s gauntlets.

Rey’s shoes.

Jinu’s gloves.

Seo Iram’s protective barrier artifact.

Kang Cheol-u Hunter’s shield.

And even multi-functional glasses for Hyeon-i.

I felt like I had bought everything we needed.

Just as I was about to pay the coins and return to my companions, Baek Do-hyeon Hunter grabbed my hand tightly.

“Aren’t you buying anything for yourself?”

“I looked through everything, but there’s nothing I really need. Nothing catches my eye.”

“Hmm… I suppose ordinary equipment wouldn’t be nearly enough for you.”

My death energy is stronger than any weapon here right now.

More importantly, each time I grow stronger, another piece of armor gets added.

The shoulder guards on my shoulders right now were the same way.

Since I could overwhelm most equipment with my own physical abilities, there was no real reason to weigh myself down.

Just as I was about to pay and leave the shop.

[Hey! You there, Lord of Souls!]

“??”

I heard a voice ringing directly inside my head.

Startled, I looked around and heard the voice coming from a corner on the first floor, not even the VIP shop.

It was coming from a black ring placed on a display shelf in the distance, and the aura I felt from it was no ordinary thing.

It was at least Monarch-level power, so I tilted my head and approached where the ring was.

[Please, help me out! I’ll reward you handsomely!]

Other people couldn’t seem to hear this voice, as they had peaceful expressions.

Without changing my expression either, I pointed to the ring on the shelf.

“I’ll take this one.”

“Hm? Customer, this is just a subpar ring that only increases agility by a tiny amount…?”

He said this while looking at the top-grade items in my arms, but I shook my head and pointed to that ring.

I didn’t know whether I’d help or not, but with that level of power, I definitely felt I should pick it up first.

“Yes… here it is, 1 coin.”

“Here you go.”

After paying and putting it on my hand, a dark world unfolded.

Inside it, a young man bound by thousands of pure white chains was shouting at me.

“You came, Lord of Souls! Please save me!”

Faced with this naive young man suddenly asking to be saved, I reclined in a chair made of death energy and asked.

“Why should I?”

His expression was worth seeing.
