I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 94

Episode 095

Strangely, it feels difficult to be suspicious or hostile to this old man.

Like I was truly possessed.

I stared at the teacup suspiciously.

The old man was a little embarrassed by my gaze, then put his mouth to the teacup and took a sip of tea first.

Still, I couldn’t believe it.

Maybe they put poison on the teacup, not the tea.

However, after seeing this, Seohu Ban drank his tea without a care in the world.

At the same time, he didn’t forget to glance at me as if provoking me.

Then, Yoo Eun-dam also smiled and drank tea.

Why are you letting your guard down like this?

Anyway, the two people look fine, so it seems like there is no poison.

I put just a little bit of tea on my tongue, just in case.

The taste of the tea is quite good, as is the very subtle rose scent.

The old man didn’t even look at Seohu Ban and Eundam Yoo drinking tea, but when I picked up the teacup, he looked at me quietly and even nodded as if urging me.

And when I finally finished drinking my tea, he smiled.

Something feels uncomfortable.

Anyway, when I put down the tea cup, a smiling old man spoke to me in a friendly tone.

I can’t even understand it anyway…

“Are you comfortable with your mouth?”

uh?

What makes sense?

It’s not Korean, but I can roughly understand what they’re saying.

I guess this was the communication item these people had.

“Oh yes, it’s delicious.”

When the elder asked politely, I was not to be outdone and answered politely.

Then the old man smiled brightly and said something incomprehensible.

“I’m glad you found favor with the king.”

yes?

King? Me?

Did I hear something wrong?

I couldn’t believe my ears and looked around to see Seo Ji-han and Ban Seo-hu making similar expressions.

However, Yoo Eundam looked back at me in surprise.

“Your sister was the king?”

“No, that can’t be possible. What are you talking about? More than that, why are you calling me noona…”

Noona.

In many ways, it was just a sudden statement, but it was natural, as if Yoo Eun-dam had always called me that.

“Ah, I’ve been calling you that since a while ago. Well, now that we’re in the same boat, we keep holding our hands together. “Hunter Sonmoa Hunter, it’s not good to be like this.”

“No…”

I was speechless as he smiled and said,

“You don’t like me? Then should we be friends? I just take it easy. Oh, it’s okay for me to just call you Eundam.”

Now that I think about it, I remember what Seo Ji-han said about Yoo Eun-dam, who was very friendly.

Even when he was attacking the demon king Silagis, he followed him like an older brother.

That was a few years ago, so Eun-dam Yoo was probably around high school age. He had

a good personality from a young age. I guess it was good.

“Anyway, let’s stop talking about good things. Let’s focus.”

Seo-hu Ban, who had been quiet the whole time, intervened.

His tone was quite sharp, as if he still harbored a grudge against him for not handing over the soul stone.

Yes,

this is not the place to discuss such matters.

That is true, but the fact that Seo-hu Ban said it made me feel dizzy

. First, I decided to return to the original topic.

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but you’re Elfanis, right? The boss monster, Nioh Elfanis.”

It may be a bit harsh to call someone a monster to their face, but the old man just smiled as if nothing had happened.

“That’s how it is from a native’s perspective.”

“Natives… Ah, anyway, I am not the king. I think there is a misunderstanding…”

But Elfanis glanced above my head with a puzzled look on his face.

In fact, I had not yet dissipated the magical energy I had accumulated to fire the Chungwang Cannon, so a brilliant horn was growing on my head.

“Aren’t you wearing a crown?”

“I don’t know why they call it a crown, but it’s just a horn.”

I secretly glanced at Yoo Eun-dam and denied it vaguely.

Come to think of it, if Yoo Eun-dam eats the horn of Vargis I gave him, would something like this happen to his head?

Then, this horn that appears every time I use a skill inherits the horn of the boss monster. I’ll know that it’s because I did it, so will it be okay?

I’m a little worried, but that’s a matter to think about later.

Yoo Eun-dam isn’t hostile to me right now, so it’ll be okay.

Of course, I can’t let down my guard because I don’t know how people’s affairs will change.

“Don’t deny it. “My king, this is one of the finest coffins I have ever seen.”

Elfanis must have thought my words were condescending, so she just smiled kindly.

No, that wasn’t the case.

“I don’t know why you keep calling me king, but I’m not a king.”

After exchanging several meaningless conversations for a while, Elfanis nodded loudly as if realizing only then when the young knight standing behind her whispered something. “I forgot. By any chance, the Final Hall hasn’t opened here yet?

”

“yes?”

This old man is talking more and more incomprehensibly.

But he seemed to have taken my reaction as an answer and slowly opened his mouth with a look of understanding.

“If the final hall hasn’t opened yet, you might not know what I’m talking about.”

The Last Hall.

Another story I had heard for the first time came up.

I looked around to see if other people knew about it, but it didn’t seem to be the case. I thought there was an

intention to bring us here and treat us to tea and tell us this story, so I kept quiet and said, I waited for the next words:

“A king refers to a person who is qualified to participate in the hall.”

As we continued to stare with blank faces, Elfanis smiled mischievously

and cautiously suggested,

“This is going to be a long story, so would you allow the old man to continue talking?”

Elfanis was elevating me to the point where it was a bit burdensome. She

was too polite to refuse. Neither

Seo Ji-han nor Ban Seo-hu seemed to have any objection, so I readily answered,

“Of course! Feel free to say it!”

“thank you.”

Elfanis smiled politely again, took a sip of tea, and spoke softly.

It’s as if you’re telling a story about old times to your grandson.

At that point, I dissipated the magic I had been gathering.

“Where should I start? First of all, the Final Hall is where all the kings of the world gather to fight for the throne. When the time comes, the final hall will be opened and the kings will participate in it.”

“Why do you want the throne?”

Seohu Ban asked a question with a serious face.

Seo Ji-han sat in an empty chair and seemed to be thinking about something.

“Because whoever holds the throne will decide the fate of this world.”

fate? What fate?

While I was puzzled, I focused on the word ‘kings’ that Elfanis said.

Although he treated me with respect, calling me a king, according to that expression, there is not just one king.

After all, Elfanis is Nioh.

Seeing our confused expressions, Elfanis smiled again.

Meanwhile, I noticed that the knight guarding his back was looking at us with a bitter expression.

“Looking at the response, it looks like nothing has started yet. “I’m glad this old man’s words aren’t too late. Are all the kings in their territories now?”

Elfanis’ story contained so many words I had never heard before that it was difficult to understand their meaning.

In fact, I still have doubts about whether what he is saying to us is true or whether he is misunderstanding something.

But I decided to listen to what he had to say as much as possible.

There are more than one word that bothers me.

In particular, the phrase ‘nothing has started yet’ really bothered me.

King’s territory. What do you mean?

if.

“When you say territory, do you mean a dungeon? “It’s a space cut off from the outside world, like here.”

“you’re right. “I guess they call it a dungeon here.”

“yes. Well, if you mean that all boss monsters are in the dungeon, then yes. “It’s in the dungeon.”

It’s obvious that monsters are in the dungeon.

When I ask this as if it were not obvious, I get an ominous feeling.

Isn’t that what I think it is, that it hasn’t started yet?

please.

Elfanis nodded, thought about something for a moment, and then asked a question again.

“What does a territory or a dungeon mean over there?”

Well, what should I say?

In fact, I would like to say that it is a target that needs to be conquered and overthrown, but for that to be true, this is a dungeon and the old man in front of me is the owner of this dungeon.

I was worried that he might be hostile towards us based on his answer, but Eundam Yoo answered confidently.

“It’s a treasure trove of hunting grounds filled with monsters that suddenly arose by devouring other people’s land.”

Indeed, as befits his energetic age, he speaks without hesitation.

I was a little startled and looked at my grandfather’s expression.

He nodded surprisingly calmly.

It also looked a little sad.

“It’s the same everywhere. We thought so too. It is a place where a group of corrupted evil lurks, and it is a land that must be condemned in the name of God. And an invader.”

A young feeling of remorse passed over Elfanis’ eyes.

“Isn’t it an invader? Rather, it seems difficult to say no.”

Eundam Yu slightly sharpened his edge and spoke provocatively to Elfanis.

But Elfanis just answered with a sad face.

“I found out after everything was over. “They are not monsters from another world who have come to invade our world.”

Elfanis cleared her voice for a moment and then spoke as if pleading.

“That they are kings who fled with refugees.”
