Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 109



Only Noblemtl

109

I couldn’t just look at the back of Ah-haeng’s body as he left forever.

Before he knew it, Seraphim was walking towards him step by step.

“Mr. Jinseong, hello hello”

It was pure nature that greeted him first as if he was happy, but Jinseong saw it.

That there was no warm gaze or bright smile on Seraphim’s face.

It was so far removed from the expression of the profession that could be described as the most sacred in the game Dungeon & Fighter.

“Hello, Sunsoo. I see you’re raising a buffer too.”

“Haha, it’s essential if you want to study hard”

Jinseong first spoke to change the subject.

A slight smile almost tugged at the corners of her lips, but that was it.

“But that’s not it”

“What were you doing?”

“I came here because I got a notification saying let’s fight”

“What was that just now? What happened?”

“Wasn’t the original escape judgment only for bounces or when the LAN is pulled?”

The questions of purity were endless.

Even for Jinseong, who knows a little about the pure game Dungeon & Fighter, it was difficult to answer these questions with just one word, saying, “No, I think you’re mistaken.”

The silver lining to this misfortune is that Soon-soo has come close to Jin-seong.

Since he was quite far away from Vivi, Jinseong made a subtle gesture towards Vivi, who was looking at him with anxious eyes beyond innocence.

Actions that cannot be seen beyond the pure monitor of the user.

Vivi nodded slightly as she watched the action and took a step back.

“What is your relationship with that person? A friend?”

“I got a notification that they were going to have a party and fight earlier.”

There was no way Pure could miss it.

For Soon-soo, who was watching all three characters on one screen with a monitor, Vivi’s movements could not have gone unnoticed.

Suddenly, as soon as Vivi stopped moving, Sunsoo spoke again.

“But that person too, and Mr. Jinseong too”

“That’s unusual.”

“It doesn’t look like it was bought at an auction.”

“Asking NPCs was something you could do in Reshphone before the update to Daejeon.”

That was the topic that Jinseong was most worried about.

If you were a typical Dungeon & Fighter game user, you might not have even been interested in this in the first place.

This is because there are few people who would click on [Character Information] one by one to check on users who are just passing by, who are not forming a party with them or joining their raid.

Even if that happens, it’s because the appearance is so unique that you just have to click around to see what type of avatar that character is and what look it’s made with.

Since there are virtually no users who would open and check [Character Information] in the short time that passes by in the village in a matter of seconds, it was assumed that Jinseong and Vivi had been like that up until now, and that this behavior would not have been a problem… … .

“How on earth do you match the templates? Especially the black wolf.”

What happened to the gear you wore?

The question of purity had to have some bones.

Vivi also felt her heart pounding as she listened to that conversation.

What should I say in the midst of all this?

‘If we had been fighting, Jinsang would have at least had time to think, but if it ended up like this… … .’

As of now, Vivi herself has no element that can really help.

As for the set, excuses like saying that you saved it for her or something like that will never work, as Pureun has already asked a lot about it.

It is unknown how Jinseong actually obtained it, but from the perspective of a pure user, it would seem that whatever method was used was abnormal.

‘Jump, Jinsang! Over there, if you pretend to move the map and jump over there, you’ll probably not be seen if you take the shortcut leading to the imperial capital. Then you can avoid the immediate crisis!’

The first answer that came to Vivi’s mind was, of course, evasion.

Even if you can’t speak directly, you can show actions.

Vivi used her whole body to express her desire to run away, using gestures, footwork, and even body movements towards the truth that seemed beyond innocence.

Vivi repeated the scene of running towards the alleyway naked several times so that Jinseong could fully understand.

Plain: From being possessed by Arad to ascending to this place, the heavens.

Perhaps it was the decision she had to make the most of and the one she had to consider the most.

So she couldn’t know.

That there is another way.

“I came out after doing some work. I broke the scenario.”

Jinseong spoke in a relaxed manner.

That was exactly what Vivi said, almost causing her to make a big mistake.

‘The truth… … The truth… … How can you be so shameless… … .’

* * *

However, it was not said that it was genuine without any calculation.

‘Running away could certainly be an option. But this… … .’

A strategic retreat is possible, but avoiding it now would literally be running away.

If we go to extremes, this could be the end of our relationship with Purity.

‘No. Pure, even though this person is a bit strange, I can definitely say that he is someone who helps me. He doesn’t just help with the [auction house] system… … He is someone who enjoys Dungeon & Fighter in a different way than I do. Running away from someone like this is not the answer. It is not a good choice.’

If there was someone who simply ran errands for Jinseong, he might be able to get them back somehow, but that alone wouldn’t be enough.

The user with the incomprehensible tendencies that Jinseong himself sees as pure is, but isn’t it possible that this incomprehensible aspect could be of additional help to Jinseong himself?

If that’s the case, then running away is not the answer. Avoiding is not something Jinseong can choose for himself.

In the end, there was only one way to answer.

“I came out after doing some work. I broke the scenario.”

Jinseong had to swallow his saliva as he spoke shamelessly.

He saw Seraphim’s face distort in real time.

Although he has the name of an angel, his expression is now such that he could be considered one of the Four Heavenly Kings!

“Dungeon drop? Drop from a dungeon?”

“No”

“Items like that don’t drop.”

It’s not as fast as usual.

Sun-soo spoke as if she was pressing each and every word.

That was a blessing in disguise for Jinseong.

Pure is clearly a serious user of the game Dungeon & Fighter, enough to equip a +13 enhanced weapon on an Asura class character.

‘I was worried because Daejeon mentioned it before the update… Fortunately, it’s not completely rotten. No, rather, should I say that since it’s old-fashioned, there was no need to use the encyclopedia system?’

That was a good thing.

Even if it is an item that is close to being discontinued, you can check it in the [Encyclopedia] of the game Dungeon & Fighter.

“Yes. If you open the encyclopedia, you can see it too. You will see the information you have acquired.”

Because I knew the truth, but I didn’t know the purity.

There was silence for a moment.

It was natural that Sunsoo would search for items through the game system [Encyclopedia] and also look at the ‘Acquisition Information’.

“Oh, really?”

“Wow, still”

“Drop lol. So Jinseong, you dropped all 5?”

Finally, her fierce expression, like that of the Four Heavenly Kings, could be taken away.

Looking at the smiling innocent girl, Jinseong must have also let out a sigh.

“Haha. That’s right. I was lucky.”

“No seriously lol. What are the odds of that happening? What do you mean? 5 parts? All of them?”

“That’s what I’m saying. I guess Neople likes me.”

“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ okay”

Vivi, who was watching from the side, didn’t know what to say about Jinseong’s quick wit.

‘Huh? Was he the kind of person who would lie so shamelessly… so easily? Oh, no, come to think of it… … He did the same thing when I was teaching newbies at the engineering school, and when I was studying engineering at Pursup.’

His shamelessness in giving hope to the exhausted raid members by telling them that he has figured out the pattern or that they can beat it with just one more try.

In that sense, being shameless does not simply mean being thick-skinned.

‘He said he figured it out before he even saw the pattern. He said it was done. He said he just had to try one more time. Those words… were hard to believe, but they strangely gave people a sense of relief.’

Because he did it in the end.

Because I kept my word to the end, even though I said it so shamelessly.

Vivi seemed to know something.

Even in Vivi’s eyes, the Seraphim user in front of her was not someone with ordinary skills.

The fact that users who have doubts about Ah-hang’s [Let’s Fight!] escape judgment are just laughing it off, let’s say it’s suspicious, is ultimately closer to saying, “I’m suspicious, but I’ll believe you.”

And what made it possible wasn’t just shamelessness… … .

‘Anyway, the deceased – no, I said it was rotten water.’

It must be because I have enough knowledge, skills, and confidence to overcome the situation.

Vivi somehow suppressed her overwhelming joy and gave Jinseong a thumbs up.

Jinseong also nodded with a smile and continued his conversation with the innocent girl in front of him.

“Is there anything you need from the auction house this time?”

“Haha since we’ve met, I’ll buy it for you”

“No need?”

“I’ve roughly acquired the equipment, so I think it’ll be okay for now. Oh, by the way, could you just do a search for me?”

“Search? What search?”

“Is there a lot of epic gear on the auction house? I was wondering how many epic items are available for trading.”

Jinseong asked.

This was also enough to raise the question, ‘Why can’t you just search for it yourself without using the auction house?’, so I asked the question while carefully observing the innocent expression.

Fortunately, Sun-soo answered right away.

“If you add up all the weapons, armor, accessories, and special features, it seems like there’s about 70?”

“70… Okay, I understand. Thank you.”

If Jinseong was trying to investigate the number of epic items through the [Auction House], it was because of Ah-hang.

The weapon he was wearing alone cost over 70 epic souls.

In other words, even if you purchase all the epic items currently registered in the [Auction House] and dismantle them to make them into , you will not be able to obtain the equipment set he is wearing.

‘Then what on earth is going on with Ah-haeng…?’

While Jinseong was wondering for a moment, Sunso spoke.

“Then please level up quickly. I hope the day will come when we can go on a raid together. Whether it’s a normal raid or just an old-fashioned raid. As soon as possible.”

“Oh, that’s good for me too. I’m curious about your skills, Sunsoo.”

“Hahaha okay okay then see you next time haha ​​bye bye”

“Yes, have fun.”

* * *

[Drop lol so Jinseong got all 5 as drops?]

[Haha. That’s right. I was lucky.]

[No seriously lol is that the probability? What do you mean? 5 parts? All of them?]

[That’s what I’m saying. I guess Neople likes me.]

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ okay]

Even as she pressed ‘ㅋ’ on the keyboard, her innocent expression did not change.

She typed straight away, keeping the corners of her lips stiff.

[Guild] Purely heals: [Black Disease Black Wolf Armor] Has anyone tried this set while doing dungeons recently? Or has anyone heard of anyone trying it?

[Guild] Toto Check: What the heukwu shirt is that ㅋㅋㅋ Even if I came out, I would have just forgotten because I was so annoyed ㅋㅋ

[Guild] First of all, I’ve raised a lot of sub-characters for barracks, but I’ve never been able to eat it.

[Guild]ByumiTheByumi: Byumi doesn’t know that

Sunsoo bit her fingernails for a moment while looking over the posts popping up in the guild chat window.

Of course, it was a reasonable doubt based on her own experience.

‘I’ve never eaten it either. I haven’t seen it since the patch, and I thought it had completely disappeared. But it came out in Ildon… … Not just one, but all five parts.’

Then he moved his hands back to the keyboard.

The fingers that had been paused for a moment began to move as if something had come to mind.

[Is there anything you need from the auction house this time?]

[ㅋㅋㅋ Since we’ve met, I’ll buy it for you]

[No need?]

[I’ve roughly acquired the equipment, so it should be fine for now. Oh, by the way, could you just search for it?]

[Search? What search?]

[Are there a lot of epic gears on the auction house? I’m curious to know how many epic items are tradable.]

It was a genuine remark that made her tilt her head for a moment.

‘The old man said something about human warmth, but at least you can check it. You can search it. Even if you ask me to buy it for you.’

You can find out by yourself.

I can’t help but think that this means they won’t be using the system at all.

‘No. It’s not that they ‘don’t’ utilize the system, but perhaps… … . If my guess is correct-.’

She quickly used the [auction house] to grant Jinseong’s request.

Even as she checked the number of items and told Jinseong about their contents, there was only one thought in her head.

‘That Berserker named Ah-hang earlier. I’m not sure about that Vivi character next to him. But, maybe.’

[Then please level up quickly. I hope the day will come when we can go on a raid together. Whether it’s a normal raid or just an old raid. As soon as possible.]

[Oh, that’s good for me too. I’m curious about your skills, Sun-soo.]

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ okay okay then see you next time ㅋㅋㅋ ㅂㅇㅂㅇ]

[Yes, enjoy it.]

Hearing Jinseong’s greeting, Sunsoo pushed up her glasses.

Then he muttered.

“This person is not a user. This person is not a human.”
