[Rolling the World’s Milestone]
The die stopped rolling after a while With an alare popped up in the air, and Chi-Woo’s stomach dropped The face of the die was…
[Result: ★★]
[Inherent Ability [Blessed] Luck consumed (82 -> 80)]
[The World’s flow rushes faster toward the definite future]
[Fail An event unfolds]
Thanks to the witch, Chi-Woo had restored the a the incident at the Salem Academy Thus, instead of 69, he had 80 now; that wasn’t the important part at all, however
[After successfully capturing one of the top figures of the Abyss, the Whore of Babylon, the Demon Empire coincidentally learns of the witch’s past and secret]
Chi-Woo stared at the -lasting obsession as the starting point, the dein to look into other possibilities with this sudden discovery The Derand sche? Are you okay?
When Chi-Woo regained his senses, his heart was pounding, and his forehead was dripping in cold sweat He failed He didn’t even get 3, but 2 stars It was only fortunate that he didn’t get 1 star He had sped up the World flow to a future where despair was confir happened immediately, but that made it even scarier since it was clear that a terrible event would arise in the near future
—Chi-Woo! Hey, hey!
Philip shouted in surprise as Chi-Woo abruptly shot to his feet Chi-Woo untied the ropes binding his hands and packed his bag Philip asked in astonishht now?
‘shi+t shi+t’ </e as his hands tree, Chi-Woo beca would turn to waste if he just stayed in this place His sense of foreboding never turned out wrong, and Chi-Woo repri all this to happen He needed to clean up after the ht about
—Are you really, what Chi-Woo was feeling
—How are you going to take care of the after and stopped for aup After a moment of hesitation, he walked out of the cave and stood in front of the boulder, glaring at it with a viselike grip around his club To re off to y transferred into his attack He understood it in his head, but struggled to put it into action Chi-Woo already knehat he lacked: he needed more mana, and he needed to make up for this shortfall somehow
‘Why did Chi-Hyun tell me to pour my mana into the club and maintain the flow in it too?’ </eot a clue The key was toas quickly as possible and pull back as soon as his energy collided with the boulder The boulder was bumpy, and when the club touched its surface, the touldn’t ap, and theretransmitted properly Chi-Woo needed to solve this problele strike
‘How?’ The ansas to not only minimize ti!</eathered at the end point of the club
—Oh…
Philip’s eyes widened in interest and focused on the club Nothing had changed on the outside, but that only proved that Chi-Woo was doing the right thing Instead of lashi+ng out with a burst of uncontrollable energy, Chi-Woo was co At last, Chi-Woo finished gathering energy and gradually raised his club As if gravity had been reversed, his hair and clothes danced up, and stone pieces and dirt rose fro with all his ht
—Now!
As soon as his club touched the boulder, Chi-Woo pulled back It was a perfect, clean blow Boom! A heavy thud followed a beat later
—Uhhh—?
After not budging an inch, the boulder leaned sideways and tilted Like a drunk person, it wobbled inal spot
—Ah!
Philip groaned because it had been so close Although the boulder wasn’t crushed to pieces, it could’ve almost rolled over But in the end, Chi-Woo failed, and the boulder was in the sanificant, though
—It really was hly In his concentration, he had exerted an enormous amount of power in that short period of time
—It would’ve been really cool if you cracked it right afterup your hed, and Chi-Woo smiled bitterly He would’ve been just like a co to do now?
“Going out” Chi-Woo had already made his decision This was si It was true that Chi-Woo still felt conflicted about the promise he made with his brother, but he didn’t have ht now He needed to act fast After shouldering his bag, Chi-Woo took Bun and walked down theback even once He was finally descending after a long period of training
There was a saying that one h Chi-Woo was running out of tiet to follow the necessary procedure, such as telling Noel Freya—his brother’s aide—of his departure Besides, he needed supplies for his long travel, and Noel ed all the supplies in the capital He could leave in secret, of course, but Chi-Woo thought this was the least he could do for the trust his brother had put in him
Thus, when Chi-Woo returned to the capital, he searched for Noel On her way to sleep after another busy day, Noel was stunned to see Chi-Woo
“Y-y-y-young s you here!?” Noel was shocked, but she soon calmed down and sat in front of her desk Chi-Woo explained the reason for his visit
“…Young master” Noel returned to her usual polite and business-liketoon your own, but…as you probably already expected, you can’t go, sir”
“…”
“You can’t even go to the that you are going past the border, sir? Especially a territory where the Abyss and Sernitas reside?”
“…Yes”
“Hoould Lord Choi Chi-Hyun react if he heard you?”
Chi-Woo closed his mouth, unable to come up with a response Noel jerked her chin like she had expected it “See Just iht have cracked Chi-Woo’s skull because of the foolishness he was displaying if he were anybody else, and her body treer
“Lord Choi Chi-Hyun’s wishes are also mine, and he asked ree with your plan, sir”
“But can’t you give me some leeway?”
“No, I can’t,” Noel iet per to convince me”
“…”
“Of course, there’s no way that will happen, but even if he gives you per master” Noel turned away like she had no intention to hear another word from him Chi-Woo remained calive him her permission
“Where is otiating with the Cassiubia League? Since they’re talking about co- the territory, I don’t think thethe distance, I don’t think he will be able to receive your o look for him in person?”
“That will take too much time”
“Then it can’t be helped”
“Ms Noel,” Chi-Woo looked at Noel with a disgruntled expression, who sied Noel seemed completely firm about this matter “Human lives are on the line here”
“It doesn’t matter”
“Ms Noel!”
Noel re his voice “Even if 10,000 people are to die in front ofmaster’s safety I will be fine no matter what kind of resentment and curses are aimed at me”
“Ha” It was hopeless Noel had no intention of understanding his point, and Chi-Woo kneas less for hi anything
“But what if…” Chi-Woo broke the uncoo?”
“If you really must, then you must”
Chi-Woo’s eyes widened This was completely unexpected
“Hoould I be able to stop you, young master? I haven’t even made a contract with a God yet”
“Then…”
“But” Noel took a dagger off her shelf and threw it on the table in clear view “You will have to go over o if you want to see me dead”
“Excuse me?”
“There’s no other way, is there? I will need to repent for the sin of not following my Lord’s commands with my death” Chi-Woo furrowed his brows But Noel continued carelessly, “Anyways, young o no ht?”
