I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 115

Episode 116:

Seo Ji-han is much more extreme than me.

He may or may not have known that I was freaking out, but he egged me on again.

– That looks like an awakened person. Can you feel it? Close combat series. You’re an awakened person, but you threatened civilians like that?

As I looked at it step by step, I felt like an awakened person.

A presence that is completely different from that of civilians.

At the time, I thought it was because he was big, but he was definitely an awakened person.

Are you saying you tried to hit your mother with the body of an awakened person?

– Is that just going to pass by? Please forgive me?

“no.”

I answered firmly and approached the man.

Skills can be used even with the body of a flea.

But I won’t kill the man. I won’t even hit you.

Because there are better ways besides violence.

I slightly jumped into the man’s pocket and crawled into it.

– Where?

There was a cell phone in the pocket.

I wondered what would happen if it was locked, but when I lightly touched it, it immediately went to the home screen.

The man was busy puffing on a cigarette, as if he had no idea that a flea was using his cell phone in his pocket.

– Should I collect it?

Let’s see, the messenger app is here.

Among several chat rooms, I found a chat where a man was gossiping about his boss to people around him.

Capture it as is.

Then, the image was sent to contacts with names such as ‘-Manager’ or ‘-Managing Director’ in the phone book.

After finishing my work and getting out of my pocket, I caught a glimpse of the man again.

The man didn’t seem to notice anything.

It was truly a crime.

The man’s cell phone is still silent.

Because it was late at night, everyone who received the message seemed to be sleeping.

But if you see it in the morning, you’ll wake up right away.

This man will also break in many ways.

– What did you do?

“I just sent you a few images in a message.”

– image?

“Is this a chat capture image of that person swearing at his boss?”

– How did you know there would be such a chat?

“I thought there was no way a person like that wouldn’t swear at his boss. “I tried to break my phone if it was locked, but I’m glad it didn’t.”

Seo Ji-han stared at me with a slightly complicated face.

– Is that okay?

“Well, I feel like I want to hit her, but mom is just hurt emotionally, not physically.”

– Uhm.

“Both the person who ordered that person and that person will be greatly hurt tomorrow morning, so I’m satisfied with this for now. “Let’s go now.”

Seo Ji-han looked like he wanted to say something more, but after glancing at the man, he quickened his pace again.

– Okay, we’re almost there. The Jirgis Dungeon transfer portal is here.

As I said, I soon arrived at the room where the dungeon transfer portal was located.

When I entered through the tightly closed door, it was dark because the lights were not on.

The sensor light did not respond to fleas, so it was very dark.

Still, I was able to find the transmission portal by relying on the dim hallway light coming through the crack in the door.

A magic circle engraved on a black disk.

There seemed to be no one guarding the dungeon gate, as if they trusted the security system around it.

Well, since the Dungeon Management Office’s own security is strong in the first place, they probably think that there is no way anyone would dare bypass all security and infiltrate here.

From then on, it was all smooth sailing.

I poured my magic into the magic circle and moved to the dungeon.

When we arrived, the area around the dungeon entrance was full of security skill watchtower agents, but no one spotted a flea jumping into the dungeon gate.

Now, if you enter the dungeon without being noticed by anyone, it is a success.

– I thought it would work, but it really was this easy…

Seo Ji-han muttered with a complicated expression.

This wasn’t the first time he did this, so instead of responding, I searched everywhere.

Perhaps because I’ve already visited other Chungwang-ryu dungeons several times, even though it was my first time coming to this dungeon, it felt familiar, as if I had been there often.

There is a wall that the kings would have polished step by step, green moss shining dimly here and there, and a stuffy space that has lost the concept of ventilation.

However, what is different now is that I am as small as a flea.

Thanks to this, the narrow, ant-hill-like terrain of Chungwangryu felt quite spacious, so it wasn’t a bad thing.

“Because my body is small, this place feels very spacious. It’s much better than being stuffy. Shall we continue like this?”

– Not a bad idea. If we keep this up, we won’t be caught even if we run into another attack team.

“Then, let’s walk around like this and find someone from the Chungwang family that we can reasonably communicate with.”

With that in mind, I took a few steps and suddenly Seo Ji-han quietly opened his mouth.

– But what happens if I materialize in this state?

“yes?”

– It seems that my materialization is a method of adding mass to the soul with magic stone energy. However, if the soul, which is the skeleton, is as small as it is now, I think it will be in this small state even if it materializes.

is it?

I don’t know much about materialization.

Because it’s not my skill, it’s Seo Ji-han’s skill.

“After hearing it, it seems like it might be so. “But there’s no problem, right?”

– There’s a problem. It takes time to undo King Chung’s mutation.

“Yes.”

– What if an unexpected situation arises and I need to materialize urgently?

Only then did I realize the seriousness of the situation.

Only by swinging a small lion’s scythe at such a small size will you be able to remove dead skin cells from the outer shell of a Chrysanthemum.

This is not just a catastrophe.

If a boss monster suddenly appears and says he wants to kill everyone, such a small Seo Ji-han will be of no help in the battle.

He could have been trampled by the boss’s feet and just died.

“You can’t make your body bigger on your own?”

Seo Ji-han stopped and grunted something for a moment before shaking his head.

– I can’t. No matter how much magic I try, it’s of no use.

“Even though I became a flea at the lakeside before, I was still big, right? “I remember looking around in panic when I disappeared.”

– If I had waited a little longer, it would have gotten smaller. It got smaller in the alley.

It appears that Seo Ji-han did not arbitrarily reduce the size, but that the size was adjusted later.

“…Then it would be better to take off your transformation and go.”

– OK. No, wait a minute.

I was about to cancel King Chung’s mutation when Seo Ji-han suddenly called me and stopped me.

And then he spoke seriously.

– How about just turning into a big bug? They might even see you as a colleague.

Seo Ji-han looked at me with shining eyes as if wondering if it was a good idea.

It’s definitely more likely to be friendly than a human one.

but.

“You could be attacked by another human being.”

– If you walk around with an invisibility scroll, you won’t notice.

“It’s such a narrow place that if you pass by in that narrow cave, your invisibility will come off.

When I think about it, it’s truly a terrible thing.

An ant cave that I thought had nothing in it.

I thought I had brushed against something and looked up to see a large Chrysanthemum closely following me?

What kind of horror movie is this?

I will scream, and that hunter will scream too.

– If you think you’re going to meet me head on, I’ll let you know so you can avoid it.

Umm.

I thought seriously and then shook my head again.

“It’s a good idea, but it would be difficult if you reveal your identity later and then say you lied. “In times like this, I think it’s best to face it head-on and honestly.”

Oh, are you a bug too? I’m a bug too. We Other Bugs.

Let’s say we agree to be good friends!

But if you confess later, ‘Actually, I’m human,’ you’ll think, ‘You deceived me! I trusted you, but our relationship is over now!’

The more important a task is, the more important it is to be honest first and second.

I think it’s better to avoid anything that could erode trust from the beginning.

I took the cloak out of my inventory and deactivated the transformation within it.

It’s a bit cumbersome to do this one by one, but I need to find some equipment items that can be worn even in flea mode.

After returning to human form and putting on the clothes under the cloak, I saw Seo Ji-han standing still with his head against the wall.

After standing silently for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth.

– …Have you all changed?

“yes.”

I answered calmly and took out an invisibility scroll from my inventory.

It may be okay if you look like a flea, but if you’re going to walk around like this in a human body, an invisibility scroll is a must.

– Yes… But next time, how about using the invisibility scroll first and then changing clothes?

Seo Ji-han lifted his head from the wall and turned towards me, offering an invitation with a slightly tired look on his face.

I thought about it too, but I was afraid it would make me invisible. It’s inefficient. And I changed inside the cloak anyway.

“Oh, changing clothes doesn’t count as a shock? “If you are shocked, your invisibility disappears.”

– It’ll probably be okay….

“Really? Then, I will do that next time.”

– Please do that. Let’s go now.

Seo Ji-han started walking ahead of me.

I could see that the clear nape of his neck was turning a little red.

When I saw that, I felt a little sorry for doing something insensitive.

I didn’t care about him . You made it uncomfortable.

– Wait. There’s something in front of you.

After walking for a while, he suddenly stops.

I listened quietly, but I couldn’t feel anything.

He was concentrating and looking straight ahead, then slowly nodded.

– It’s a monster. It’s walking. Seeing that the speed is uniform, it seems to be a normal patrol. Seeing the sound getting closer, it seems to be coming this way.

“Are there any signs of hunters attacking?”

– No. I think the first customer has arrived.

My heart started pounding.

I took out the Sotong Yugwa from my inventory. I cut it into

three pieces, ate one, and handed the remaining two pieces to Seo Ji-han.

Seo Ji-han looked a little worried. It looked at me with its face, slowly materialized, and took the communication fruit from my hand.

All the monsters here are specialized in close combat.

It was impossible to feed the fruit into the monster’s mouth with my agility.

So, I fed it the communication fruit . Seo Ji-han decided to take charge, confident that he could brush his teeth without him even noticing.

“Are you ready?”

“yes.”

After waiting for a moment, a huge ant monster appeared from the other side of the dark cave.

And Seo Ji-han threw a piece of Sotong Yugwa into its mouth like lightning. He

then poured the remaining piece into his mouth.

The monster that swallowed the Sotong Yugwa without realizing it was the one who swallowed the Sotong Yugwa. I stare at Seo Ji-han standing in front of me.

Seo Ji-han smiles and greets me first.

“Hello, why don’t we become friends?”

Did I say it too bluntly?

No, it’s better to state the purpose from the beginning! What if I get confused and misunderstand?

Anyway, I waited with excitement for this Chungwangryu’s answer.

Will he be dumbfounded? Or will he be surprised?

The monster was looking down at Seo Ji-han. A voice that sounded like scraping metal came out of his mouth:

“Trash.”

That’s you!
