I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 137

Episode 138

After carefully hiding my face, I sneaked out of the dungeon using the gate creation authority I received from Pergis.

As expected, unlike when I entered the flea earlier, the security guards and detection devices responded immediately.

A loud beep-beep-beep alarm sound and a flashing light that fills the entire space with flashing red.

In the past, I would have been startled by such a commotion and recoiled, but now I was able to take the time to look around.

“Who are you?”

If you ask who I am, it is natural to answer.

For the sake of time, I will omit it.

Oh, what are you asking? Of course, you are the ones responsible for the tight security now.

“Reveal your affiliation!”

One of the hunters was scared and ran over, shouting out in a murderous manner.

Then, security guards came pouring in behind him.

“Where did this guy suddenly appear?”

I came out of the dungeon.

uh? Didn’t you notice that the person standing behind me was Seo Ji-han?

Is it because I put the Lion’s Scythe in my inventory? Or covering your face completely?

It may have been so sudden that I didn’t even think about it.

Well, if you think about it later, you will eventually conclude that it was Seo Ji-han.

“Show me your face!”

“Put your mask down!”

I ignored the security guards who came rushing in and silently opened the sanctuary barrier.

The scope was very narrow. Barely covering the dungeon gate?

Now, with this, this dungeon has been sealed.

No one can enter the dungeon without my permission.

“What the fuck are you doing!”

One of the security guards shouted harshly. Then his body was covered with a bluish aura. You are using a skill.

Seo Ji-han, who was standing behind me, reflexively blocked my way.

But there was no need for that. The moment the hunter attacked me, the sanctuary barrier gave off a faint light.

The hunter reversed the direction 180 degrees and flew away, just as he was attacking.

“What is this?”

The hunter, who had barely landed, looked back with a puzzled expression.

Yeah, it’s strange.

I obviously ran while looking ahead, but the moment I reached the barrier, I spun around as if I had entered some kind of revolving door and was ejected.

“Use a strange special skill! “Be careful!”

As he came to his senses and shouted, he could feel the other hunters becoming very nervous.

However, even in the midst of this, there were brave people, and two or three hunters jumped in to avoid my eyes.

But of course it was no use.

Anyway, I really like this method.

The good thing is that it doesn’t hurt the other person. Moreover, it is not a physical barrier…

“Prepare for a long-distance attack!”

It wasn’t broken by long-distance attacks or anything. Just let the skill pass.

“Call the magical hunters!”

“What the fuck are these bastards?”

Anyway, the barrier seems to be operating normally. Now that I’m done with my business, I have to go back to the dungeon.

“The alarm sound is very loud. “I was surprised.”

As soon as I entered the dungeon, I complained briefly.

The fire siren sound was so loud that it felt like a joke. My ears were still ringing.

“It’s a bit like that, isn’t it? “My head hurts.”

“Oh, Seo Ji-han has sensitive senses… I guess so.”

“huh.”

It was a good thing I came quickly. If I had stayed any longer, the burden on Seo Ji-han would have only increased.

“Let’s go on a quest first. I just counted all the notification messages and I think there are about 20 teams. “I need to move diligently.”

I scanned the conflict notifications in the corner of my eye and selected the message that displayed the closest distance.

Then the message turned into a red triangle and stuck to the floor.

It gives direction.

“I checked this direction.”

“What is the distance?”

“It says 420, but I don’t know if it’s meters or what.”

“You’ll find out when you get there.”

Seo Ji-han nodded quietly and suddenly turned to me and spread his arms.

And then he urged me briefly.

“Now here.”

“yes?”

Here? what do you mean?

When I asked him in confusion at his sudden action, he nodded in understanding as to what he was thinking and then turned his back to me.

“Oh, would this be more comfortable?”

Seo Ji-han squatted down, put his arms behind his back, and looked back at me.

At this point, no matter how clueless I was, I couldn’t tell what his intention was.

“Put me on your back?”

“huh. “I run faster, and I think it would be better for you to conserve your stamina.”

“No, no matter what, it can’t be…”

“Why? You don’t like it?”

It’s not a matter of whether you like it or not.

“It’s strange. It’s a bit weird for an adult with two good legs to be carried by someone…”

“Oh, this is much faster.”

Even if you say that, it’s a bit difficult to just jump on Seo Ji-han’s back.

When I pulled away out of embarrassment, Seo Ji-han, who had been waiting with his back out, stood up as if he had no choice.

“Oh wait a minute!”

I should have just climbed on top.

Seo Ji-han walked up to me, put his hand behind my knee, and lightly picked me up. It was the commonly known princess hugging position.

Seo Ji-han’s chest, which was pressed so closely together, felt very burdensome.

I was struggling to figure out where to hold it and awkwardly placed my hand on his shoulder.

Seo Ji-han then frowned and pulled my hand to wrap it tightly around my neck.

“If you hold it so loosely, you might fall. Of course, there’s no way I’ll miss you.”

I awkwardly looked away, not daring to look at that grinning face.

“Nothing inconvenient, right?”

There is no discomfort in my body, but I feel very uncomfortable in my mind.

“huh?”

“I think this is a bit like that too. Just get off and I’ll walk…”

Seo Ji-han’s face was too close. I

was embarrassed and looked away, not knowing where to look, but he made eye contact and looked down at me. Then, he suddenly grinned.

“Why? Are you excited?”

The destructive power of a low voice at close range.

My face heated up so much that I couldn’t even deny it.

But it’s unfair to just be the victim of it. I’ve only made jokes like this once or twice, so I can fight back at least once, right?

“Yes. “I think I’ll fall in love with it.”

I felt strength coming into the arm that held me tightly.

Seo Ji-han suddenly raised his head, looked up at the sky, and started running without saying a word.

Looking up from below, his chin and earlobes were dyed bright red.

We walked in silence for a while. Both Seo Ji-han and I were busy trying to cool down our heated faces. Look, Seo Ji-han must have been embarrassed, so

why

did he make such a joke?

I wonder if he ran for about ten minutes, following the conflict notification sign. Seo Ji-han I slowly slowed down and stopped.

My face, which had been hot, had cooled off due to the wind. I was fortunate.

“It’s there. If I get any closer than this, I’ll feel it.”

Seo Ji-han, who put me down on the ground, gestured in one direction and suggested,

“I can’t see anything?”

“Between the trees over there…”

I was able to spot the hunters only after observing the direction he was pointing for a while.

I saw several people moving among the thick trees and grass.

The distance seems to be about 50 meters away.

“Did you find it?”

“yes.”

“Should I use an invisibility scroll and access it to process it?”

Deal with it. I don’t like the eerieness that word gives.

After some thought, I pulled on my mask and straightened my clothes.

“That would be fine, but… I had a good idea.”

“What do you think?”

“I’ll go and ask you to leave.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

“If we try and it doesn’t work, we’ll do it Seo Ji-han’s way.”

“Can’t we just open the gate, hit him in the back, and throw him there?”

“There’s something I want to check.”

Seo Ji-han looked like he wanted to say a lot, but he nodded his head with difficulty.

We used the invisibility scroll and slowly narrowed the distance between us and the hunters.

I got close to them and leaned in close behind the tree. I looked at the situation.

Everyone seemed to be taking a breather, as if the battle had just ended. There were five people in total. It was an ordinary dungeon raiding party. “Did you

pick something up? I don’t even think I can meet the guild dues.”

A hunter sitting on a small rock sighed and complained. Perhaps the item acquisition rate was low. “

No, it’s the same. If I hadn’t paid the down payment, I would have bought an escape stone.”

“But I didn’t use much potions this time, so the potion prices have solidified.”

“Ah, if you don’t meet the deposit, your priority will drop during the next attack…”

“There’s still some time left for the attack. Just earn it and leave. Still, escape seats are very expensive these days, but it’s good because the guild provides it to us as long as we pay the down payment.”

The sight of each person lamenting their situation is somehow familiar. At least it seemed like a much more proper team than the strategy team I was a member of before.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

Seo Ji-han whispered softly. I quietly simulated what I would do next.

“yes. “Actually, I’m not sure, but Ji-han, please come forward.”

“okay.”

“I’m going.”

I took a deep breath and turned off my invisibility. And then he rushed out among the resting hunters.

“What are you all doing here!”
