Episode 131.

If you save me, I’ll save you later!

Lee Shin’s spirited remarks.

… Of course, it was absurd for someone who was completely caught to say that.

If Grania were to spread the news that she had discovered Isin to the ranker community, Isin would be in a very difficult situation.

This is because there are still many rankers who have not forgotten their old grudges.

No, maybe it was a blow that would make me quit the game.

Isin was not yet at the level where he could withstand the rankers’ restraints on his own, and the rankers who held a grudge against Isin would not leave him alone in this state.

In other words, even though he was begging to be spared, this time he made a counteroffer.

Grania muttered as if she was incredulous.

“Are you crazy?”

“I know right.”

“… … Well, that’s the kind of person he was originally.”

“Okay. So what are you going to do?”

It was originally a ridiculous proposal.

But there was a corner of this that believed in him.

The opponent is Grania.

‘You avoided me.’

She was originally one of the few rankers who extremely avoided contact with herself.

Her basic stance has always been, ‘I absolutely do not want to get involved with this god!’

Even if it means giving up or losing something else, like a quest or broadcast.

I don’t know if it was because he was scared or because he felt dirty, but either way, that’s how it felt to Isin.

In other words, if you look at the true meaning of Lee Shin’s proposal, it was a threatening proposal that meant, ‘If you don’t want to get dirty with me, just let me go.’

And Grania quickly figured out this god’s intentions.

After she bit the guild members around her, she asked Isin.

“You’ll save me?”

“okay.”

“Will we go hunting for rankers later like that?”

“I’m still doing PK. When my level reaches ranker level, what I’m doing now will become ranker hunting.”

“… … Well, that’s the kind of person you are. But do you think that would be easy?”

Grania was not one to nod easily.

I’ve felt a wall between me and Isin before, but I guess our positions have changed a lot since before.

“It seems like you haven’t even started playing the game yet.”

“Right. Has it been two months now?”

“It’s pretty high considering it started so late… But it’s still a lot lower than us. You know that, right?”

Isin started Avala Online half a year later than others.

half a year.

For regular users who just enjoy the game, this may not be a very meaningful time, but it wasn’t for the rankers.

During that half-year period, the rankers were far ahead of Isin in almost every aspect except for their profession, such as level, titles, and items.

And this was a gap that was difficult to bridge.

As the popularity of Avala Online 2 skyrocketed, the growth environment for top rankers also changed.

As external capital began to flow in in large quantities, rankers belonging to large guilds were able to grow while receiving massive financial support.

Conversely, this meant that it was extremely difficult to reach the high rank with just ‘individual’ power.

This is something that can only be disadvantageous to Lee Shin, who always travels alone.

This was the part that Grania pointed out.

Hunting for rankers basically means that you need to have an advantage in growth over other rankers, but it would be difficult to keep up with the growth of others on your own.

“Of course, you could join the guild….”

“Don’t go.”

“I guess so. But then what kind of confidence is that?”

“… … .”

“If I were to issue an execution order against you now, what else would you be able to do besides die once every three days?”

What she said was true.

But Isin answered without being flustered.

“You can take one with you.”

“what?”

Grania frowned at Isin’s absurd words.

…what do you mean?

Did he hide a self-destruct skill?

Instead of answering, Lee Shin showed it through action.

“Huh? Over there!”

“what?”

Isin pointed behind Grania, making a fuss.

At this, her gaze suddenly turned to the back.

A fleeting moment like that.

It was a gap large enough for the curse to be applied.

‘now!’

This god immediately flew the sign of malice.

Grania, who was momentarily distracted by something else, couldn’t avoid this.

[The Mark of Malice hits.]

“under.”

However, the atmosphere was not very surprising.

She glanced at Isin, pretending to find it ridiculous and laughing in vain.

“… … So many people have died. I did something childish, and the only thing I came up with was a curse?”

It’s not like this person’s job is a dark priest, and I thought that even if a curse cast by a user with the thief job were strong, how strong would it be?

In fact, even though I was cursed, my stamina wasn’t reduced even by 1.

‘What kind of curse is this that makes you so weak… … Huh?’

But her expression hardened in an instant.

Because the true value of this curse was not in the damage it did.

[Imbued with the power of powerful evil!]

[Experience gain and drop rates are reduced by 99% while the effect lasts.]

“yes?”

Grania asked back without realizing it.

What is this… What is this?!

It was a literally eye-popping effect, and it took her quite a while to understand that short two-sentence explanation.

And after understanding, his face turned pale.

‘What is this…!?’

A curse with truly vicious effects, resembling the caster!

If that effect were true, it wouldn’t be so hard to compete for ranks that I would just have to quit the game…

‘Oh, no!’

For her, for whom gaming was her life, it was something she absolutely had to know.

‘It’s okay. Just do it!’

She searched through her inventory in a hurry, found the Haeju order form, and used it.

Very quick response!

but….

[Use the ‘Order Form’.]

[Failed.]

[Use the ‘Order Form’.]

[Failed.]

[Use the ‘Top-tier Haeju Order Form’.]

[Failed.]

[Use the ‘Top-grade Haejue Spellbook imbued with ancient mystical power.’]

[Ancient power purifies the curse…]

Dismissed!

[… The power of a powerful curse runs wild!]

[Failed to do so!]

“What…?! What is this!!”

However, the results were all failures.

Even the most effective scroll on the market, the ‘Top Grade Scroll of Ancient Mysterious Power’, had no effect.

The implications of this were clear.

This meant that the ‘level’ of the skill used by Isin was extremely high.

It is so much so that it cannot be solved with consumables like the Haeju Order Form.

So it got even weirder.

Whether it’s the condition of the equipment or the activities of a small group hiding in the mansion.

This person’s occupation is clearly a thief, right?

‘… But does this make sense?’

Thieves are a profession that does not increase mana or intelligence.

Therefore, it is only natural that the abilities of magic and spells are generally at the bottom.

But even the curse is this powerful?

Unless you have at least obtained a legendary profession, this is unreasonable… .

“……uh?”

* * *

“Send it.”

Grania’s judgment was quick.

Her thoughts continued to follow one after another, and when she unintentionally encountered a fragment of the truth, she decided to release Isin.

Of course, the guild members who did not know such calculations were bewildered by Grania’s instructions and asked back.

“Who?”

“Here he is. Just let him go. Right now.”

“why!?!?”

“I’ll explain later, just send it, quickly.”

“I finally caught it….”

“… … Send it!!”

“Yes!?, Ah, yes… … !”

The guild members were startled by Grania’s hysterical shouting and released Isin.

So, after Isin was released safely, the guild members started to grumble one by one.

“……? what?”

“Why did you let me go?”

“I don’t know either.”

Groan, groan.

Guild members in confusion.

Doyle approached quietly and asked.

“There must be a reason.”

“… … Yes.”

“Okay then. Let me know later.”

“No. I’ll tell you now. But you have to keep it to yourself. You have to.”

“… … ? What is it?”

Doyle lowers his voice even further.

Grania continued her explanation.

“That’s him. The one we were looking for.”

“Could it be the seventh?”

“Yeah, I’m sure.”

“… … ! Oh, so you just sent him away? Are you planning on offering to recruit him later?”

Then that could be possible.

It’s a shame to have to give up a quest that you’ve almost completed, but legendary class users are that rare.

Doyle nodded in understanding, but Grania immediately denied it.

“No? I would never make a recruitment offer. Even if I did, the other party wouldn’t accept it.”

“What? Then why did you let me go?”

“… … Because it’s dangerous.”

This god was dangerous to begin with.

PK’s talent is a gift from heaven.

Not only was his personality good, but his ability to act was also very good.

Thanks to this, rankers who have experienced even one defeat by Isin did not hesitate to call Isin a disaster.

But this time it wasn’t at that level.

‘The legendary profession fell into that crazy guy’s hands… …?’

That’s a legendary job of the thief series?

If I can cast such a powerful curse when my level isn’t even that of a ranker yet, what will happen if I grow further?

‘… This is crazy.’

It was something I hated to even imagine, but I ended up doing it.

At the same time, an indescribable level of fear came over me.

That was why she sent him away without saying a word.

… we must never get involved!

“Just in case, I’m advising you not to get involved with that guy.”

“Who is that person?”

“This is it.”

“Is that you? Oh, that you?”

Doyle opened his eyes wide.

Although he hadn’t played Avala Online 1, he had heard the name Isin often.

Even without looking for it, there were a lot of rankers from Avala Online 1 in the Union Guild.

And they all unanimously commented on this person as ‘a user you should never get involved with.’

The same was true for Grania.

“Remember. No matter what happens, just let it go. Don’t make that person remember your name. Got it?”

“Why are you like that…?”

“Don’t ask why, just do it. Please.”

“… … .”

Doyle honestly couldn’t understand why she was so worried.

No matter how strong you were in the past, isn’t the past the past?

Now he was just an ordinary top-tier user.

Right now, there are probably dozens, if not thousands, of ways to step on him… .

“… … Okay. Be careful.”

Doyle had many thoughts in his mind, but soon nodded without saying anything.

Anyway, she was the guild master of the union, and her intuition in this regard was usually quite accurate.

Although I was a bit hurt by the words telling me to avoid it unconditionally, I decided that it would be okay to believe it for now.

“I thought about it carefully.”

Grania nodded in relief.

Doyle changed the subject.

“So what do you plan to do now?”

“huh?”

“If this is the case, then the result is that we haven’t caught the intruder. Won’t all the achievement points we’ve accumulated so far be lost? Are you even thinking about leaving the territory?”

Doyle speaks assuming the worst case scenario.

But Grania shook her head with a puzzled expression.

It was because of the words he had said to her before he left, so that only she could hear them.

“… … Well, that’s fine?”

“huh?”

“I don’t really know what that means, but Youngju said not to worry, that it would be okay. She just said she would make you feel a little better.”

“… … ?”

“Anyway, let’s just wait and see what happens. Since we’re leaving here right now, it doesn’t seem like there’s any need to worry about it.”

“I get it.”
