I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 147

Episode 148

‘Is there a reaction?”

“no. There’s no light in your eyes? “You don’t seem interested.”

Although I was disappointed, I immediately picked up another gift and presented it to Nafgis.

We don’t understand each other, but if we take turns presenting gifts, wouldn’t people understand our intentions?

“I don’t know if it’s working.”

“For now, there is no way to survive.”

It was just as Seo Ji-han said.

The vitality that had been strong until I fought him had disappeared everywhere.

The face of the King of Giants was quietly looking at me.

I had hope that he might be trying to understand us.

“That’s right .” “It would be nice if it worked.”

“I know.”

I held out all the gifts I had brought, one by one, but the King of Giants did not react.

When I held out the stone, his eyes that had been turned off flashed yellow for a moment, but that was all.

“If you look at this from a distance, it will look like a real hard sell.”

Seo Ji-han, who glanced around the surroundings where all kinds of objects were scattered, laughed lightly.

It seemed like they were tying up a boss monster and taking turns throwing things at them.

“You’re tying up a customer and forcing him to give you something. That’s not a normal hard sell.”

“yes?”

I accepted his joke and Seo Ji-han laughed again.

Anyway, I can’t keep tying him up like this…

“It’s difficult to let him go like this, and I don’t have time. If I let him go, he’ll attack me, right?”

“I guess so. Then I’ll have to kill you.”

Seo Ji-han said it as if it was obvious, but I was disappointed.

It wasn’t just because I felt sorry for the horn and the dungeon. This dungeon was the last legacy of a world that had already been destroyed.

Killing the boss monster was like destroying the last piece of that world. .

“I think this guy is slowly gaining the same amount of patience.”

Seojihan jabbed Nafgis.

Nafgis, who had been lying down quietly, was moving his arms and legs little by little. I could

hear the sound of chains shaking. And the sound was getting louder.

“Even though I covered it with my energy and strengthened it, it didn’t work that way. “I can’t last long.”

“I’ve endured this much.”

“Well, then I guess I should finish it.”

Black energy surged from the Shinigami’s scythe. The

sharp energy covering the scythe grew to three or four times the size of the original weapon.

However, Seo Ji-han did not swing the scythe.

“Huh? What’s a little strange?”

Nafgis’ bound body was breaking little by little.

Like dry clay cracking, small cracks appeared on his armor and sword helmet, and crumbs fell from between them.

“Suicide…? Or was he trying to break the chains before being attacked? “Are you overdoing it?”

“If you’re doing this to break the chain, only the area around the chain should crack, but your whole body is in tatters. What are you trying to do?”

Nafgis’s incomprehensible behavior made me quietly watch, hoping to understand the situation.

Pieces falling from the thin cracks.

Why is he doing this?

Oh, wait. There’s a faint light through the cracks….

” “I have to collect it!”

Seojihan’s reaction was much faster than mine.

The moment I felt like light was leaking through the cracks in Nafgis’ body, he hugged me tightly and rushed away. In an instant, he was far away from the

boss monster and thought he was safe. He hugged me as far as he could and walked away.

“What is it?”

After gaining some distance, I got down from Seo Ji-han’s arms.

I still wasn’t sure what was going on.

I asked Seo Ji-han if he knew, but he shook his head.

“I don’t know, but something doesn’t feel right.”

“Is it like a self-destruction…?”

The moment I guessed, all the chains binding Nafgis were completely shattered.

The light from the crack, which had been slightly leaking out, had suddenly changed to a brilliant level.

“It could be self-destruction… I think it would be better to get out of here altogether. It was self-destructing anyway. “If we die, our goal will be achieved.”

“But I have a feeling that’s not the case.”

“Me too. There’s no reason to die suddenly. But you’ve seen them glow when they die, right?”

That’s right.

Even the golem that Seojihan killed earlier had its body glowing inside when it was split in half before it died.

“First, I walked away a little, and then again…”

No matter what Nafgis was doing, it wasn’t a very good decision to stay here. It seemed. I have to go away once and then come back.

However, before I could finish speaking, Seo Ji-han, with a scary expression on his face, hugged me as if he were wrapping his arms around me. And he turned his back on Nafgis.

Just before I was completely wrapped in Seo Ji-han’s arms, I saw a blinding light fill the world.

It seems like a bomb exploded right in front of me.

But there was no shock.

Nevertheless, Seo Ji-han moved as if he was trying to protect me as much as possible.

“are you okay?”

“…yes.”

After a moment of light passed, he hugged me so tightly that it hurt and asked a question in a nervous voice.

Nothing happened.

Except that my eyes were a little dazzled for a moment.

“thank god.”

As I looked at him who seemed genuinely relieved, my cheeks and chest felt itchy.

It feels like there’s a lump in my throat, as if I’m going to cough for no reason.

But now was not the time to worry about that.

I quickly checked what happened to Nafgis.

“It’s dazzling.”

“…huh. “I’m sure he’s not dead.”

“Boss monsters are different no matter what they are…”

What I found at the spot where Nafgis was was a knight of light who was twice as big as when he was a stone statue. It was

not just an adjective.

His body was pure white as if it was made of LED lights. The glow was really dazzling.

I think it would have been nice if it was at least as bright as a mood light.

“It doesn’t look like it could be eaten. It was glowing in a vague human shape to begin with, so I don’t even know where the mouth is.”

An unusual feeling made me nervous from the tips of my feet.

I deliberately tried to say something to lighten the mood.

“…There are no chains anyway.”

Seo Ji-han also responded to me a beat late, as if trying to hide his nervousness.

“But that shiny Nafgis is also in the research results?”

“No, this is my first time doing something like this. This might be a bit dangerous. If I had to, it would be better to just run away.”

Shining Nafgis was a completely different monster from the stone statue Nafgis.

A boss monster that had not been studied at all.

There was no information at all about what kind of attack it would make or what abilities it had.

The situation was completely different from what we had assumed.

“Why don’t you run away now? ?”

“That’s a good idea. But… I don’t think they have any intention of letting us go.”

Nafgis, who was standing still, raised his sword of light.

The light from the sword surged into the sky and spread out like a fountain, forming a barrier.

It looked similar to the Sanctuary barrier, but it was shining much brighter than that.

“This….”

“Looking at how frustrating it is, it looks like a containment barrier. “It feels similar to a force field that hinders movement.”

It is an ability that is completely opposite to Sanctuary Barrier. I felt like I was determined not to let anyone live, so I immediately broke into a cold sweat.

As a test, I tried to see if I could break it with an attack skill, but like the sanctuary barrier, no attack worked.

“You can win, right?”

Seo Ji-han turned to me at my worried question.

For a moment, anxiety flashed across his face, but he quickly smiled and nodded.

“of course. are you okay. My attribute is darkness. “Darkness is strong against light.”

Isn’t it the opposite?

Those words popped into my head for a moment, but I swallowed them.

There was no time to talk more. Nafgis, who had completed the barrier, looked back and tried to take a step forward.

“I have to go first.”

Seeing Nafgis approaching this way, Seojihan hurriedly raised his black energy.

Then, as if to reassure me, he briefly said ‘don’t worry’ and quickly ran away.

My intention is to block Nafgis before he gets to where I am.

It’s not that he doesn’t have anxiety in front of unknown boss monsters, but he had a steadfast and resolute attitude.

He may even be traumatized because he even died once before Kergis…

“Moa, you set the sanctuary barrier and don’t do anything! You can’t even use support attacks! Don’t let Nafgis attack you…” Seo

Ji-han, who was running, shouted as if he suddenly remembered something. However, he was cut off and Nafgis attacked. A

beam of light similar to the one shown when he hit the barrier earlier appeared on Nafgis. It rose from the sword and struck Seo Ji-han.

“Oh my, I almost got hit. Are you a little faster this time?”

Seo Ji-han, who flew his body nimbly, raised his energy as if to retaliate the attack. The

black energy rising from the scythe flew sharply towards Nafgis.

“…Huh?”

The next moment, both Seo Ji-han and I, who attacked, were very embarrassed.

Seo Ji-han’s fierce attack was scattered helplessly in front of Nafgis’ light.

After all, light is stronger than darkness!

“Damn it.”

After briefly cursing, Seo Ji-han followed up with a second and third strike, but the result was the same.

None of his attacks worked.

He must have thought that long-distance attacks were useless, so he flew up and tried to cut Nafgis directly with his sickle.

Reaper’s Scythe It swept through Nafgis’ shins,

but as if it had cut into the air, Nafgis was not hit at all. The light in the area where it had been hit flickered slightly, but that was all. It was as if it had

cut a stream of water.
