The Novel's Extra (101-200)

Chapter 179 - Killing Jin Sahyuk (4)

While I was stuck in the elevator, I talked to Muninn's egg. It wasn't anything interesting. I just told it fun folktales like the story of the rabbit and the turtle and the story of the three little piglets.

As the egg periodically shook, I knew it would hatch soon.

Ding—

[You arrived on the 2nd floor.]

Exactly 4 hours later, the elevator stopped on the 2nd floor.

I put on my mask and hood, then did a maintenance check on the Desert Eagle.

0.5 seconds to load and reload, 1.5 seconds to transform the gun with Aether.

That was enough.

Shooong—

The elevator door opened with a futuristic sound. Beyond it was a vast forest. Warm sunlight shone down from the sky, and hot air enveloped my skin.

I stepped into the grass and surveyed the area with my Thousand-Mile Eyes.

Thankfully, Luke wasn't too far away. Judging by the empty plaza in front of him, the second wave of Players still seemed to be in their waiting rooms.

First, I climbed a tree. Then, I jumped from tree to tree, looking for a place where the entire plaza was in full view.

"...Hm."

After checking out dozens of trees, I finally found a tree that could fully view the plaza and was by a cliff so there was little chance of me being ambushed.

I sat down on the branch. Now, I just had to wait until Jin Sahyuk came up.

...Time passed.

10 minutes, 30 minutes, 90 minutes... then three hours.

"I can wait. I like staying hidden. It's fun. It's great."

Using [Lv.6 Demon's Cunning Speech], I casted self-hypnosis. I no longer felt bored out of my mind and suddenly felt full of energy.

It was quite mysterious. In any case, I was now fueled up to wait even longer.

6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours...

During the course of a day, the extreme heat changed to extreme cold and day turned to night.

Finally, Players appeared in the plaza.

Close to 2000 Players were instantaneously summoned. The burst of light that flashed out upon their arrival almost blinded me.

—W-Where are we?

—This must be the 2nd floor.

—Shh, don't reveal any information.

Some looked confused, while some seemed to know about the 2nd floor. The former should be ordinary people (or Djinns) or those from small guilds. The latter should be members of large guilds or Djinn groups.

I scanned the crowd and looked for a specific target.

—Wow, look, it's Kim Suho.

—Tsk, why did he have to come here? He could have stayed outside and become the world's youngest high-intermediate rank Hero.

Kim Suho stood out even among the crowd of 2000 people. His handsome face was shining like it was covered in gold. I was happy to see him, but my gaze coldly grazed past him.

Not long afterwards, I found my target. She was someone who was just as important as Kim Suho.

Jin Sahyuk. She was standing with her arms crossed like an iron-blooded general.
