I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 153

Episode 154:

Beer cans gathered in the air and lightly collided. It was a bit surprising that Ban Seo-hu, who I thought would not respond, extended his arm.

Everyone’s faces were a little more relaxed than usual, and they seemed happy that all of the Korean dungeons were closed.

“I thought it would close soon, but it took longer than I thought?”

Ban Seo-jin opened his mouth as he tore a piece of well-grilled squid and dipped it in mayonnaise.

Eundam Yoo agreed, lifting his chopsticks to pick up some sweet and sour pork nearby.

“Iknow, right. Nafgis Dungeon is a bit unusual, but the boss monster there probably wasn’t that strong. The speed is also slow. “Oh, did you do something at the Korean Guild?”

“It was the last dungeon left in Korea, so security must have been tight. “It must have been harder than usual.”

Seohu Ban nodded and expressed his own guess.

Now that I think about it, these people only know Nafgis in his statue state.

“The security wasn’t that strict. There were more hunters standing guard than usual, but everyone was busy collecting items. “I just passed by lightly.”

“Oh really? “Then is it really because of the boss monster that took this long?”

Eundam Yoo widened his eyes, as if he was surprised by my answer.

“That’s the way it is.”

“Nafgis is really not that strong. If he freezes, he can’t do anything. “It’s a shame. It would have been easier if you had gone with me.”

“Probably not.”

Seo Ji-han, who was filling the plate in front of me with food from far away, snorted. These are all foods to my taste.

Since it was a bit too much of a distance to reach out, I was just eating snacks that were placed nearby.

Seo Ji-han, who somehow noticed this, stretched out his long arm and casually placed it on my plate.

“why? If I freeze it and my sister shoots it, that would be the end. If he gets as much damage as his sister, he’ll be shattered in an instant, right? Then the game is over.”

“There was a second transformation.”

Seo Ji-han answered indifferently, without even looking towards Yoo Eun-dam.

“Second transformation?”

Along with Yoo Eun-dam’s rebuttal, the curious gaze of Ban Seo-hu and Ban Seo-jin was focused.

Seo Ji-han, who actually caught my attention, looked annoyed and had no intention of answering, so I opened my mouth instead.

“Actually, at first, I tied him up and presented him with various gifts to persuade him…”

“Gifts? Hahaha. How did you come up with that idea?”

Ban Seo-jin, with a squid leg dangling from the corner of his mouth, burst into laughter.

“I thought I had failed to persuade him because I had been so empty-handed so far. Actually, I wanted to try something and everything.”

“Does that mean you’ve been persuading every boss monster you’ve encountered so far?”

“Yes. I told you before. Persuasion comes first.”

“No, I thought you would have opened fire and taken over the dungeon as soon as we met. That’s a bit different from what I thought.”

Certainly, if Ban Seo-jin had my skill, he would have blown away half of the boss monster’s body with the Chungwang Cannon and then threatened him by saying, “Do you want to die? Do you want to become my subject?” And it probably would have worked well. Because the atmosphere was so

fierce

….

” “Anyway, I didn’t want to kill them. I wanted to take over the dungeon as peacefully as possible. It would be nice if the monsters there would also be on our side and fight.”

“Okay, okay. Anyway, so?”

“I persuaded him for a long time, but suddenly Nafgis’ body broke into pieces and something like a giant made of light came out from inside.”

“Light? If it’s light… Oh, the speed was too fast? They say it was the same speed as light, so Seo Ji-han was no match for it?”

Apparently, after Nafgis became the light version, the speed increased significantly, so it seemed like Seojin was a bit tired.

Ban Seo-jin read my expression and grinned.

“Correct answer?”

“Speed wasn’t the problem.”

Seo Ji-han, looking a little bit proud, suddenly blurted out and joined the conversation.

Ban Seo-jin, looking overtly amused, glanced at him.

“The problem was that the attack didn’t work.”

“The attack doesn’t work? “Physical attack?”

“All.”

“What nonsense… How did you catch it when the attack didn’t work for a moment?”

A squid fell out of the corner of Ban Seo-jin’s mouth. She quickly picked it up, rolled it up, shoved it back into her mouth, and tilted her head.

“We didn’t catch it, but Nafgis suddenly became friendly.”

“Friendly?”

“Yes. I thought he was going to die like this, but suddenly he put the crown on me and inherited it.”

“…why?”

“I’m not sure about that either.”

“Does not knowing for sure mean that you have a rough guess?”

I followed Nafgis and told him briefly about the artifact that showed the future he had seen:

“He saw you doing something big in the future he saw.”

“I thought so too. But there’s something strange…”

“Something strange?”

“If Nafgis had tried to kill me there, I would have died. But I survived because Nafgis saw something in the future and made a choice that was different from the original.”

“Huh?”

“In the end, the future Nafgis saw would be the future when I died because I didn’t change my decision.”

After killing me, Nafgis probably took the horn.

Maybe he didn’t get the horn, but I don’t think that’s true. When he got close to me, he carefully observed my horn. As if he was seeing something he

knew.

Nafgis was the only animal he had seen so far. It was the strongest among the boss monsters.

If the final hall was opened, it was the most likely candidate to sit on the throne.

Did you see what happened after sitting in the final hall with my horn?

And that future was ‘that guy who entered the dungeon at that time’ Maybe it was a future that made me think, ‘I should have saved you.’

So maybe he saved me to change the future he saw?

“What did I see?”

“He didn’t tell you?”

“Yes. It seemed like he couldn’t speak.”

If Nafgis spared me in order to change his regretful future, what he saw as a relic of the future at that time means that it is a future that can be changed. Then, I can change the future where I cry alone in the penthouse

without Seojihan, right?

But what kind of flow is it ? Because I don’t know if we’ll reach that kind of future….

“Hey, what’s getting dark! Anyway, if that guy saved you, you’ll do something big! Come on, let’s have a toast. Anyway, Korea is now safe!”

As if trying to lighten the gloomy mood, Ban Seo-jin held out a can of beer again.

Clinking my can lightly against it, I shook off the anxiety that was eating away at my mind and smiled roughly.

“Hmm, it’s hard to say that it’s completely safe…”

“huh?”

“There may be a dungeon somewhere that hasn’t been discovered yet. “In the sea or something.”

“ocean?”

“yes. There may be more here and there, so I can’t be completely sure. “I have to keep looking.”

I’m sorry for saying this when I was just trying to lighten the mood, but I don’t think it’s good to let things get too loose already. But Yoo Eun-dam smiled and opened his mouth.

“Oh, but you can rest for a little while. You worked so hard, sister. “I keep going to close the dungeon alone…”

“I’m not alone because Seo Ji-han is there.”

“Still. Jihan’s stamina is high, so I’m not worried, but my sister doesn’t have stamina, right? I can tell she’s getting more and more tired just by looking at her.”

“That’s right. It’s true that you had a hard time. I’m sorry that you must have put a lot of burden on yourself.”

Even if it was Yu Eun-dam, I was a little surprised because I didn’t expect even Ban Seo-hu to say this. When

I looked at him quietly, Ban Seo-hu avoided his eyes and just took a sip of his beer.

“Well, that’s why I’m going to get some rest.”

I was really tired. I need a break to run again.

I quietly nodded and tipped the beer can again. The bitter liquid sliding down my throat seemed to relieve some of the fatigue from the past day. “

But what should we do about those people?”

“Those people?”

Seohu Ban and Eundam Yoo gave a puzzled look.

“These are the hunters that Ban Seo-hoo and Eundam were collecting in case they couldn’t close all the Korean dungeons.”

“Oh, that? Those people must be useful somewhere. Never mind.”

I see

Again, various stories rolled out on the table. As I listened to the small talk, I felt that the three of them had become quite close without me knowing.

Meanwhile, I was quietly thinking alone.

How to dispose of the three set items remaining in your inventory.

I decided to give one to Ban Seo-jin, but the remaining two sets are problematic.

To be honest, until I got home, I was secretly thinking that it would be a good idea to give at least one out of the three to Rodran.

It was because I felt bad about not being able to take much care of Elfanis.

However, with the three of us sitting around like this, it felt a bit uncomfortable to give items only to Ban Seo-jin.

Even if I give one set to Yoo Eundam, what should I do with the last set?

Umm, what should I do? Ummmmmmmm….

yeah. Although there were various incidents with Seohu Ban, he was still a close friend who even shed tears when he found out about Seo Jihan’s death.

There are people who I don’t understand for one reason or another, and honestly, I still feel distant

from them… but we have to take care of the people of our world first! First of all, Ban Seo-jin.

“Hey, Mr. Ban Seo-jin. “I have something to tell you.”

I gathered my thoughts and opened my mouth. Ban Seo-jin looked at me in a bit of confusion, probably because my tone sounded a bit solemn.

“uh? me?”

“yes. “I have something for you.”

Without further ado, I immediately took out the set item from my inventory and placed it on my lap.

This is a Vargis set with a poison resistance option.

“Uh… no way.”

“Please Seojin Ban write this.”

I handed the equipment to Ban Seo-jin.

Ban Seo-jin’s eyes trembled slightly because it seemed unusual at first glance.
