I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 67

Episode 067

Yoo Eun-dam, who had lost his mind, appeared to be trapped in a huge yellow crystal.

Below it, a magic circle of the same color was spread out and shining softly, and judging from the magic flow, it seemed to embody the crystal that was imprisoning Yu Eundam.

– The entire room is designed to absorb magical power.

I turned my eyes again and observed the room, and just as I said, the ceiling and walls were heavily embroidered with purple patterns.

I feel an unpleasant aura, like Kim Young-gil’s resentment.

It is a form close to a curse.

Eundam Yoo, who was trapped in the crystal of light, looked like he had been forcibly captured.

Black chains were wrapped around his entire body, and dark red amulets were attached to his eyes and mouth, replacing the eye patch and muzzle.

Well, I’m not sure exactly what it is, but it definitely doesn’t look like a good night’s sleep.

Anyway, looking at the atmosphere, it seems that the source of the magic power that maintains this safe zone was Eundam Yoo.

“I have to save him, right?”

First of all, since someone has been captured and locked up, it would be morally right to save them…

As I was saying this, I wasn’t really sure what to make of it.

It was difficult to predict whether saving him would make things better or worse.

More than that, I don’t know what the hell this is and how it works.

Why is the guild leader of the Amhyeon guild, who I thought was leisurely having fun and having fun somewhere, tied up here like this?

The masked people attacked us, saying it was clearly for the benefit of a large guild.

Instead of naming specific guilds such as ‘Heavenly Guild’ or ‘Daehan Guild’, they grouped them together as ‘giant guilds’.

It can be assumed that the three major guilds in Korea colluded and conspired.

But why is the guild leader of the three major guilds here?

I actually thought that Yoo Eun-dam might have been among the people who ordered us to be killed.

Of course, he is also the guild leader of a huge guild.

He is a representative figure who is supposed to attack us, give orders to masked people, and quietly profit from the future changes in the hunter industry, so why on earth is he here?

Seo Ji-han was also confused, so there was no reply.

However, given the situation, there is no time to leisurely think about it.

Save Yu Eundam or abandon him.

You have to decide quickly.

I decided to save Yu Eundam.

I don’t know the exact circumstances, but seeing as they are being held here, it doesn’t look like they are on friendly terms with the masked people who attacked us.

“Can I open the door? “Can you check if there is an alarm device or something?”

Seo Ji-han, who had climbed over the wall a few times to examine the structure, nodded in response to my question.

– It’s okay to open the door. But if the magic absorption magic circle is damaged, you will know right away. You will feel the barrier of the safe zone being lifted.

“What about that yellow magic circle? “Can I break it?”

– I’m not sure.

Seo Ji-han observed the magic circle with a puzzled expression.

However, as he was not a magical hunter, there didn’t seem to be much he could find out.

In fact, the fact that he understands this much and informs me is a triumph of the experience he has accumulated while living as a hunter.

First of all, the magic circle needs to go in a direction that doesn’t destroy anything. If you destroy it for no reason, it will be troublesome if hunters come rushing in.

“Anyway, even if you save it, it’s a problem. I think it’s inside the crystal. I can’t use a pickaxe. “Do you know how to remove those restraints?”

– I don’t know, but that type of binding usually breaks when pulled out of a magic circle or touched from outside.

“I can only hope so.”

I first opened the door.

It was locked, but it opened easily when I broke the latch with a weak gun.

The weight of the heavy iron door was not a big problem, perhaps because I wore the strength correction ring that Seo Ji-han gave me.

However, the moment I took a step inside, I felt dizzy, as if all the blood had drained from my body.

When I couldn’t stand it and fell to my knees on the floor, Seo Ji-han urgently called me.

– are you okay?

“yes. Suddenly, magical power…”

This feeling as if my whole body was empty.

I’ve felt this a few times before.

– Right. It might be a bit too much for you to handle.

It’s as they say.

Since Yoo Eundam’s complexion did not look bad, I thought the amount of magical energy being absorbed would not be large, but the magical energy was depleted in an instant.

The absorption capacity far exceeds expectations.

If I go further in like this, I might lose my mind when I come out.

It would be a good idea to put some kind of magic recovery potion in your mouth.

I crawled out of the room, drank the magic power increase potion and recovery potion, and tried again.

Perhaps thanks to drinking the potion, I didn’t fall to my knees as soon as I entered, but it was still difficult to hold on for long.

The room is so small that I’m fortunate that I don’t have to take a few steps.

He was planning to grab the entire crystal he was trapped in and rip it out, but when he got closer, he saw that it was not a crystal at all, but a translucent curtain of light.

When I stretched out my hand, it went straight inside without any resistance.

Thanks to this, I was able to grab Yoo Eundam’s arm without much difficulty.

When I held it firmly and pulled it out, I felt some resistance, but it came out easily.

After taking about two steps, the magnetic field was released, and Yoo Eundam, who was floating in the air, plummeted to the floor.

“Wow.”

It was a shame that I caught him in a hurry, otherwise Yoo Eundam’s head would have been broken.

– are you okay?

“are you okay. “Ugh, it’s hard, but we have to drag this out, right?”

Of course I thought he would nod, but Seo Ji-han held out his hand to stop him.

– Leave it inside for now. It’s not okay for the magic circle to be damaged, but it’s also not okay for the source of magic to suddenly disappear. Because the barrier will be lifted for both of them.

This is a very heartless treatment for Yoo Eundam, whose magic power is being sucked away even at this very moment.

But Seo Ji-han was right.

If we pull him out and break the barrier, hunters will flock here.

I ended up putting Yu Eundam down right in front of the door and crawled out the door.

If you stretch out your hand, you can reach it, so you can pull it out at any time.

It was fortunate that there was no commotion as I was pulled out of that yellow magic circle.

It was pitiful to see him trapped in the tent, but Eundam Yu, sprawled out on the floor, was even more pitiful.

The arms that were pulled and chained behind the back looked very uncomfortable, but what was even worse were the legs.

My bare, shoeless legs are tied so tightly that they hurt my skin, so I’m worried that they might be bruised in the shape of a chain.

It’s a very pitiful sight, but that doesn’t mean we can’t let him go right away without any preparation.

It would be a big deal if he even recognized me as an enemy.

What if they release you and they attack you all at once?

The opponent is an excellent magic hunter who is also on the ranking board.

‘You kidnapped me. If you attack by saying, ‘Die!’, there is a high possibility that you are already dead even if you say ‘No!’ too late.

Son Moa is 25 years old.

He died leaving behind his will, ‘It’s not like that’.

This tombstone phrase is a specification.

I gingerly reached for the amulet that covered his eyes.

First, let’s wake him up, listen to his situation, and ask for help.

And after hearing why he is trapped here, decide whether to release him or not.

“Oh, what a surprise!”

I was planning on slowly removing the amulet and then waking him up, but there was no need to.

Yu Eundam had already come to his senses.

As the amulet covering my eyes disappeared, a venomous gaze fell on me.

Wow, look at those eyes full of hostility.

If I had taken off the chain first, it would have been a big problem.

“hey. I don’t have time right now, so I have to explain briefly, but first of all, I didn’t lock you up. I have nothing to do with the person who locked you up. “Please nod if you understand.”

Eundam Yoo did not respond.

Instead, his eyes narrowed with suspicion.

Ah, mouth. Is it because of the mouth?

“I’ll take your mouth off later. I get in trouble if I suddenly scream. Because I came here secretly. Once I understand the situation, I will remove the paper from your mouth. “To be honest, I don’t know much.”

Only then did Euntam Yoo nod his head.

Oh, it’s easier to trust than I thought. After all, sincerity communicates!

However, Seo Ji-han, who was watching this, crossed his arms, nodded, and poured cold water.

-There are times when your good impression can be helpful. No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t seem like a person who would do something bad.

Was it something like that?

No, what Seo Ji-han said was wrong.

A good impression is helpful in most cases.

If it weren’t for Yoo Eundam, I would have answered.

I don’t know if it would be okay for him to discover Seo Ji-han’s existence.

It would be better to hide it for now.

“I am Hunter Son Moa from the Baekgwang Guild. “I belong to a small guild that had been continuously denied permission to attack a dungeon, but I suddenly received a call saying that permission had been issued urgently, so I entered this dungeon to attack it.”

Did I tell you too much from the beginning?

Eundam Yoo didn’t react much as it was his first time hearing my name.

“But while I was raiding a dungeon with my team, we were attacked by masked men. Among them, there was a fake Seo Ji-han, and he said that his goal was to revise the law so that only large guilds would be given permission to attack dungeons by inciting public opinion if small guild attack teams were killed in dungeons.”

The hostility in Yu Ndam’s gaze softened slightly.

Instead, his eyes became as if he was thinking about something.

“And they filmed the attack on camera, and two of our team members died in the attack, and three people, including me, survived and ran away, but were eventually caught. But somehow, I was lucky enough to get rid of the attacker. In the meantime, one of the attackers ran away. “The person who took pictures with the camera.”

It would be better not to explain anything about Kim Young-gil.

Now that I think about it for a moment, does this person know that Kim Young-gil is dead?

I think I heard at the Amhyeon Guild Hospital that the guild leader had not been seen for a long time.

If you were captured before then, how long have you been here?

Many thoughts came to mind, but I continued my explanation.

“After that, I found out that one of the surviving team members was a spy planted by them, so I killed the other one and left the dungeon using an escape stone. “I ended up here after hunting down the cameraman who ran away.”

Yu Eundam’s face was becoming increasingly calm.

I felt that he was listening to me very carefully and at the same time making inferences.

“I needed a camera that captured the truth. To be exact, it’s a video containing what they said. If there was a large guild behind this attack, I didn’t think I could handle what would happen if I just left. “I thought that if I had that video, I wouldn’t be falsely accused.”

I guess this is a good summary, right?

I don’t know how much Yu Eundam will believe what I say.

I opened my mouth again without hiding my anxious face.

I want my sincerity to be conveyed as much as possible.

“I thought that the person behind the attack on our attack team was a large guild, but seeing one of the guild leaders of that large guild like this makes me very confused. Now that I’ve told you my whole story, can you tell me why you’re here? As short as possible. “I don’t have much time.”

Eundam Yoo nodded.

I took off the amulet covering his mouth.
