That’s the response of the person holding a holy sword for the first time, how amazing .
Being directly connected with a holy sword and feeling the power its transmitting is not a common occurrence .
Interestingly, people tend to regard this power as their own .
Those who wield Ahbooboo become powerful and arrogant, in turn, Ahbooboo will lead the wielder to become more savage .
That’s what happened to the warriors on the 26th floor and to those on the 40th floor who accepted Abooboo in order to be safe .
He is not so much a holy sword as a magic sword .
Lee Hyung Jin swings the sword horizontally .
I know what he’s doing .
This is the skill with the over exaggerated name called Spatial Rift Mind Slash that Ahbooboo uses to deceive people with .
In order to encourage him, I take this move directly with my body .
Lee Hyung Jin shows an unbelievable expression upon seeing the sword’s effect .
I’d be surprised too if I could suddenly launch a sword attack across space .
But the skill doesn’t actually cut space .
After struggling with his thoughts, Lee Hyung Jin comes straight at me .
Lee Hyung Jin sprints straight forward and crosses one interval, the next interval, and the final interval at melee distance .
I’m satisfied with the result .
Lee Hyung Jin chooses to stab me .
“Boowoong”, there is a sound of vibrations in the atmosphere as he brandishes the sword .
I don’t dodge and instead counter it directly with a precise jab from my hands .
Bang!
A slight shock wave occurs followed by a roar .
I rub my hands and retrieve Ahbooboo from Lee Hyung Jin, who has fainted because of the shock wave .
“Thanks for your hard work . ”
[My pleasure, but is that the end? He doesn’t know what he just experienced . ]
Ahbooboo comments .
Obviously Lee Hyung Jin wouldn’t understand that technique .
He would still be lost even if I explained it to him .
“Forget it . I wanted this guy to have the courage to face death even if only for a while . “
[Really?]
I don’t want Lee Hyung Jin to risk his life to clear stages like me .
But Lee Hyung Jin may face an inevitable situation someday .
If Lee Hyung Jin is faced with the worst possible situation where he can’t escape, I hope he’ll push himself a step further instead of giving in to frustration .
Although his move was made in the rashness of emotions, he did take the initiative to approach death .
Remembering that feeling will help him a lot .
[Well, ordinary people don’t grow in this way . ]
“That guy is not an ordinary person . ”
[Is that so?]
That is so .
He’s a challenger who’s climbed to the 13th floor of Hell Difficulty .
Sometimes I think about it .
Would I be able to do as much as Lee Hyung Jin in Hell Difficulty if my only goal was to survive? .
I doubt it .
I would have perished early .
I can recall how tense I was back in the days of the 18th floor when the poison disappeared .
[Your team members have retrieved their tokens . ]
[You’re not allowed to enter yet ]
[Please wait until all teams have retrieved their tokens at each branch path . ]
It seems another group has obtained the token .
There is one group remaining .
Maybe it’s John Overton and the frog .
It’s going to take a while .
Lee Hyung Jin is still in a coma so I lay him down in a comfortable position and examine his condition .
There is no abnormality .
[I’m surprised . ]
Ahbooboo says .
I heard him say this not long ago .
I was in my dorm room watching people play with the frog .
[I didn’t expect you would teach others in this way . You not only figured out what’s most important for him, but also helped him overcome his shortcomings . ]
“Why, do you think I’m incapable as a teacher? Eh?”
I am in a bad mood for some reason .
[No . It’s not so much that you can teach, but rather that I just didn’t expect you to devote so much effort to such a weak person . Although he has some potential, he is too insignificant compared with other beings you have met before . Is it because he is your fellow countryman?]
“Is there a trend? Did you think I would treat the weak like rubbish?”
[Do you not?]
Holding back my anger, I try to come up with a response .
“… No . Haven’t you seen the people who exist simply to be protected? Those are the weakest beings you can ever meet . ”
[I thought that your humanity had not degenerated to that extent at that time, so I brushed over it . ]
I get a reflexive urge to throw Ahbooboo into the inventory .
But I resist .
I’m answering his questions and have a dialogue with him right now .
“When I judge a person, their weaknesses don’t matter . I don’t care how strong or weak others are . ”
[But…]
“I’m usually angered if my opponent’s strength does not match my expectations, especially when they have higher capabilities than me . ”
Ahbooboo becomes silent .
Is he reflecting on my words?
Or sorting out his thoughts?
If not, is he doing something else?
[Warrior, it’s typical and normal to look down upon the weak . The world belongs to the mighty . I don’t think it’s wrong to worship power . It’s inevitable that we consider the weak unnecessary . It’s even stranger to be angry in front of weak enemies . ]
Ahbooboo is a gift from the God of the Sky .
It’s quite natural for Ahbooboo to act this way considering God’s character .
But since I agree with him, my way of thinking is not normal .
“I think so too . I want my enemies to be stronger because I want myself to be in more perilous situations . ”
I’m insane .
“Perhaps that’s the difference between me and this guy . ”
I point to Lee Hyung Jin, who is still in a coma .
[What does it mean?]
“This guy tries his best to clear stages in order to survive, but I constantly rushed towards my death back then . As you said, this is not a normal way of thinking, but paradoxically, that’s how I survived . “
[Except you don’t think so anymore . ]
“Yes . ”
Although not completely different, there have been some changes .
I’m nothing but a moth according to God of slow .
But now I don’t want to die trying to achieve my goals .
Ahbooboo calms down as if he had nothing left to ask .
Now it’s my turn to ask questions .
I call him .
“Ahbooboo . ”
[Yes, warrior . ]
“Don’t you think you’ve been questioning me excessively lately?”
He replies a bit late .
[What?]
“You always dig into my intentions . I had thought you just wanted to understand me more since you’re my companion, or that you were worried about my well-being because you cared . However, recently you’ve been trying to dig into my most intimate thoughts . ”
I get a feeling of silence from Ahbooboo .
This never happened before .
Perhaps this only happens when he is disturbed enough .
A link between me and him has opened in a way I don’t understand .
“I feel like you’re investigating me . ”
[I… Warrior, that…]
“You’d better think of a good answer if you don’t want to break in two right here . ”
