Chapter 40-2
Roughly an hour passed like that.
As expected of a Name Hunter in the game, Eileen killed the demons I found one by one with a single blow.
Thanks to that, Jenny and I were able to ride Eileens bus without any trouble.
Thank you, Eileen, our bus driver!
Actually, wasnt she pursuing a different meaning of the term knight instead of aspiring to be a driver?
I was having such a silly thought again.
Crunch!
*Huff*. I defeated them all.
Eileenpletely turned one skeleton into dust.
No, how can you turn a skeleton into dust by cutting it up like that?
But Eileen, why are you trying so hard to hunt down the demons?
Well, Ive only been training in swordsmanshiptely, so I wanted to have some realbat training once in a while.
Do you usually have realbat training against lower level demons?
Honestly, how much realbat training could you get against lower level demons? Even for Eileen, who has top-notch skills, it seems like its just a way to relieve stress rather than actualbat.
As I was struggling to understand, Jenny answered my question.
Shes addicted to training, so its better to just let her do what she wants.
Ah I see. Yeah, that makes sense.
Sigh Although its frustrating to ept with that expression, we have to distinguish between work and personal matters, so I wont say anything.
No. What am I doing?!
Although Im not sure what expression Eileen is making, I think she might be smiling satisfied as she juts said.
Anyway, isnt something strange?
Huh?
What Is strange?
The two people tilt their heads at my question.
As far as I know, lower-level demons usually travel in groups. But the ones we found were all alone.
Youre right.
Come to think of it, yeah.
The two also feel that something is off and fall into deep thought with serious expressions.
Why does something feel ominous?
[Goddess of Destiny asks why youre so nervous about the future you can also see?]
If I had that kind of ability, I really would be happy.
No. I do have it. Its just that you have to die to see the future.
Anyway, the ominous premonition spreads throughout my spine, so I turn up the volume just in case.
-Thump. Thump. Thump.
Whats that? Why is there a sounding from over there?
There are many demons and students here, so its not strange to hear someone walking.
However, the problem is that the sound of footsteps ising from a ce where it shouldnt be heard.
And its not just one or two people, but the sound of several people walking.
I should check this out.
Ill be back in a bit.
What?! Where are you.going?
Eileen looks at me with a worried expression. However, Jenny, who is next to her, notices something and whispers to her with a serious expression.
Its obviously. To bathroom.
Ah, right.
By the way, I havent adjusted the volume yet, so I identally overheard what she was saying.
Eileen blushed with embarrassment as she nodded her head in agreement to Jennys words.
O-Okay. Well wait here for you.
Okay. Ill be back soon.
With that, I used my physical enhancement to run towards the source of the sound.
As I briefly turned my head, the two people stared at me with a look that seemed to say, How urgent was that? Were you holding for a long time?
Damn it.
As I ran with my physical enhancement, I finally arrived at the target location where the cult was causing a terrorist attack.
And I looked around just in case.
Hmm. There are no surveince cameras in this area, as expected.
The location of the surveince cameras had not changed from the original.
Praying that it wasnt true, I hid behind a nearby tree and peered out.
Sure enough, members of the cult were wearing reversed ck robes and drawing magic circles with demon blood on the ground.
Damn it.
Why? Why did it have to be different from the original?
There was definitely no connection to the current main episode after the duel.
It wasnt rted to Kim Soo-young, and even though I briefly went on a date with Eileen, it had nothing to do with this incident.
But that doesnt mean Im involved with the cult.
I lost my train of thought for a moment.
STAB
Suddenly, a de pierced through my abdomen.
Huh? Whats going on? The cult guys were definitely there, right?
I turned my head back, wondering who could have done this to me.
Ha! David Von Kane. Did you really think you could survive after double-crossing the church?
Ashard, a high-ranking member of the church, stared at me with cold, icy eyes.
Crazy. Why is this guy here? He was undoubtedly in front of me just a moment ago.
I couldnt understand the situation and turned my head forward.
Monster.
I thought it was some kind of trick, but it wasnt. I just got stabbed from behind while lost in my thoughts.
Ashard pulled out his dagger and scattered the blood on the de onto the ground.
I never imagined youd mess up our ns like this, just because of you.
I wanted to argue back, but I couldnt muster up the strength to speak.
Thump!
My body fell to the ground.
It started to get hotter, as if I had a burn in my abdomen.
<strong>[Goddess of Destiny says not to die!]</strong>
Normally, she that would have lost interest in me once I died started to worry for the first time.
I feel sorry for some reason.
Still, if I just lie here and do nothing, Ill feel like crap.
I used my physical and mental strengthening while lying down, but the bleeding from my abdomen got worse.
I want to recover with the holy cross, but I have to regress. So, let me just say onest thing before I die!
You are struggling even on the brink of death. Youre not theplete loser everyone thinks you are.
What did you say? You piece of s*it. Hey, mark this word in your soul. Ill make sure to send you next to your dead mother next time. So be prepared to bow your head to me.
With those words, everything went dark.
