I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 127

Episode 128

I don’t know what to say.

Are you serious? Or to comfort you?

Faced with such a confident face that no persuasion seemed to be of any use, in the end all I could do was carefully dissuade him.

“But don’t kill me…”

– Okay, I won’t kill you if you want.

Seo Ji-han grinned a little brighter.

You really understood what I said, right

?

“Hey, but it’s a joke, right?”

Seo Ji-han just smiled without saying a word.

Oh,

you’re kidding. Oh, Seo Ji-han has improved a lot.

He’s not the same Seo Ji-han he used to be who only made fun of me. This hit him hard.

Haha ha. Haha.

It’s really a clever joke, right?

Gingaminga As I was doing this, I felt a sign of presence at the end of the hallway.

Then, about 15 men appeared. The security guards who saw them closed their mouths as if they had been talking for a while.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The people who approached were, as expected, shift workers.

When one of them said hello, the two who had been grumbling dissatisfied just a moment ago bowed their heads in silence.

“Nothing happened, right?”

“Yes, I’ll go then. Take care.”

While the conversation was going on overhead, I noticed and quickly jumped on one of the men’s shoes.

Of the men who came rushing in, only two remained in front of the door, and the rest all went inside.

Then, I switched with the person guarding the portal, leaving the remaining two. All ten people went through the transmission portal to the dungeon entrance,

unaware that there were fleas and flea-sized souls suffocating on their shoes.

“It’s going well.”

Seo Ji-han looked around the entrance to the Geogis Dungeon and answered what I said.

– That’s right. By the way, the number of kids guarding here has also increased. It’s about twice as many as when I came before.

“Whether it’s double or triple, it doesn’t matter now. “It’s no use.”

– That’s right.

Seo Ji-han smiled happily and nodded.

I abandoned the security guard who was no longer needed and jumped into the dungeon gate. As

soon as I jumped into the gate, I saw a huge volcano in front of me.

An active volcano overflowing with bright red lava. As soon as I saw it with my own eyes, a rush of heat hit me.

“Oh, it’s hot.”

– Potion, potion, fire potion.

Hurry up and drink the fire resistance potion. Hearing Seo Ji-han’s urgent voice, I hurriedly drank the fire resistance potion I had prepared in advance. I

thought I had entered some kind of invincible steam room. I

was startled because I couldn’t breathe.

I consumed a B-class fire resistance potion.

I consumed it. The effect of the fire resistance potion is applied to temporarily increase fire resistance.

Time limit: 1 hour As

soon as you drink the potion, a fog-like blue energy settles on your body and is quickly absorbed.

At the same time, the tingling heat seems to have washed away. “Oh, I think I’ll survive

. But Seo Ji-han, you don’t have to drink it?”

I had already heard that a B-class fire resistance potion lasts for 1 hour.

So, I brought about 10 of them for Seo Ji-han in case the search or fight would be long.

– I’m fine. Anyway, as long as I stay in the spirit state. I don’t even feel the heat.

“Wouldn’t it be better to drink it beforehand? The more you go inside, the more intense the heat will be. Besides, if you suddenly have to fight a boss monster, you won’t have time to drink it.”

– It’s really okay. The body created through materialization is a bit different from the real body.

“Really?”

– Yes. I don’t feel hot or cold, I’m not tired, and I don’t have any menstrual symptoms. To be honest, it’s quite comfortable. I feel like I can completely control my body according to my will. “It’s good.

”

– Thanks. Shall we move on?

I nodded and stared at the top of the volcano, which had boasted an overwhelming presence earlier.

Lava was spewing out everywhere like a geyser. Under the pitch-black sky, only the red color of the lava was vivid.

“It’s strange. It feels like it’s neither indoors nor outdoors.”

– If you ask me, it’s probably outdoors. The sky is obscured by volcanic ash. As

you say, I can vaguely see the outline of black clouds.

Anyway, no matter how I look at it, the boiling volcano looks so ugly.

“You mean it’s over there? There’s a boss monster here.” go.”

When I asked while recalling the outline of the Demon Dragon King Dungeon that I had figured out in advance, Seo Ji-han nodded.

– It’s usually at the top.

“Oh, it’s really going to be okay, right? I’m worried when I see the lava boiling.”

– If it’s a B-level fire resistance potion, you can wash your hands in lava. In fact, C-level and lower potions are used when doing dangerous work in places like steel mills. “

Really?”

– Yes. Actually, it’s not hot at all right now? You’re this close to an active volcano, but you can’t feel any heat at all?

“That’s true, but…”

Because the sight in front of me was just a sight, my anxious feelings did not completely disappear.

However, after hearing Seo Ji-han’s words, I felt much safer.

– If I feel anxious, should I just go back?

“You can’t do that.”

When I gave a firm answer to Seo Ji-han’s question, which seemed like he was wondering, I smiled as if I knew he would do that.

“song.”

After making up my mind, I began to diligently climb the mountain by flea jumping.

Unlike in Jirgis, this time I decided to meet the boss monster from the beginning.

Conversations with subordinate monsters were meaningless. No matter how well you communicate with your subordinates, if the boss says no, it’s over. It was a lesson learned from a single experience.

– That flea jumps pretty fast.

“Yes?”

I smiled at the subtle compliment and jumped again.

Knock knock knock.

Because of the terrain, we often encountered monsters or hunters targeting them on the way up, but fortunately there was no sign of them noticing us.

“There are quite a few people targeting it.”

– Monster by-products are popular here. Additionally, boss monsters are lazy and don’t appear often, so it’s okay as long as you don’t hunt them too much.

“I would be embarrassed if the dungeon suddenly closed.”

– It’s good to save on the escape seats. You’ll like it because it’s a free gate.

Will they really like it?

It was something I couldn’t agree with in many ways, but I decided to ignore it.

I must have entered the dungeon expecting to make a lot of money, so I feel a bit sorry.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t close the dungeon.

“But are you really okay alone?”

Seo Ji-han said that it was enough on his own, but just from the explanation he gave, the Demon Dragon King Geogis was not an easy monster like Jirgis.

Is it really okay?

– Of course it’s okay.

Seo Ji-han’s expression was so peaceful that my worries were in vain.

I can’t believe I’m not even nervous about facing a monster that is guaranteed to wipe out 100% of the strategy team once I encounter it.

I once again felt his greatness.

“But don’t overdo it. “If the circumstances arise, I will also join you.”

If I hit the boss monster, my ranking score may increase, but I don’t want to throw Seo Ji-han into danger alone.

– No problem. This time, after absorbing the Jirgis Magic Stone, I completely recovered my original abilities.

“Not before?”

– About 80% at that time?

When I captured Jirgis, I fought so well that I thought he must have recovered all of his original abilities, but that was 80%?

“Hasn’t the Jirgis Magic Stone been fully absorbed yet?”

– huh. But my abilities really recovered around dawn this morning. And since the materialized body’s ability level efficiency is better than when it had a physical body, it is actually stronger now than before.

“Huh…”

– The Demon Dragon King wasn’t that difficult of an opponent before either. So there’s no need to worry any more now.

Jihan smiled brightly as if he was in a very good mood at my attitude of not being able to hide my admiration.

– Jirgis If you completely absorb the magic stone, your ability level will increase by about 120% compared to before.

I am a fraud, but this person is also a real fraud.

If I were Geogis’ friend, I would advise him to ‘If possible, do it through conversation when he says to do so.’ That’s about it.

The confidence overflowing in Seo Ji-han’s eyes was anything but bravado.

“Anyway, we’re almost there.”

I drank two more fire potions on the way. I rode on the mountain for almost three hours.

-Are you okay? Aren’t you tired?

“Maybe it’s because I drank some healing potions in between, so I’m fine.”

Perhaps thanks to a long period of diligent jumping, the summit was already right in front of us. If we go a little further, we can meet the boss monster.

– This way.

Just before arriving at the summit, we moved under the guidance of Seo Ji-han, and the view beyond the lava valley was astounding. An unfamiliar-looking passage appeared.

– It’s at the end.

When I heard that I was really there, tension rose from my toes.

I carefully jumped and started to move through the passage. As I was moving forward, my vision suddenly widened. It was the

boss’s room.

And The huge black dragon seen in the center. Welcome to

Geogis. Seogis. Seo

Ji-han quietly called out to the monster in front of him. I wondered

what he would do if it wasn’t there, but luckily he was calm and at home.

But this guy…

“Is he sleeping?”

A black dragon with lava-like red flashing between its scales. It

was sleeping with its body curled up like a cat and its wings folded.

At the end of its tail were two large, blade-like scales. Those scales covered half of its head, so its face was clearly visible. I couldn’t see him.

I never thought he was sleeping.

Looking at his torso rising and falling regularly, he seemed to be sleeping very sweetly. I could

also hear a faint rumbling sound.

Is it snoring, or is the dragon’s breathing normally like thunder?

Anyway, what should I do with this ? .

“Would you like to come back later if you wake up? It would be bad if I woke you up while you were sleeping:

– Are you kidding?

“No. Actually, I was thinking about it the whole time, but I think we got off to a bad start during Jirgis.”

– Starting?

“If we hadn’t destroyed the house, Jirgis might have been on the same side.”

– Do you still have regrets?

Instead of answering, I just laughed. I

didn’t say it out loud because I was afraid it would sound like I was blaming Seo Ji-han, but every time I took a bite of Jirgis’ horn, I thought, ‘As expected, my first impression was really bad.’ He didn’t leave.

“Anyway, this time, no status abnormality occurred. It always appeared while saying something about being intimidated. Is it because I was sleeping?”

– Hmm. I guess it means that you are no longer at a level where you can be intimidated.

“Really? Your magic power is still low…”

Seo Ji-han just shrugged his shoulders and winked at me.

– First, let’s solve King Chung’s transformation. By materializing it.

“Waiting for him to wake up…”

– Do you know when he will wake up? He might sleep for a month.

“No way.”

– Actually, when this guy isn’t moving around, he’s always sleeping. Thanks to that, it wasn’t easy to study his attack pattern. When I

heard that, my intention to wait was completely blown away.

I want to start off as good as possible, but the situation doesn’t work out the way I want.

I’m using the Invisibility Scroll . After tearing a piece of paper, he took off his clothes and changed his clothes.
