The Devil’s Dead Child - Chapter 300



Only Noblemtl

#Episode 300, Dilemma

The blue sky briefly illuminated the dull stone ceiling.

The group, frozen in place for a moment, looked up at the sky in a hesitant posture trying to maintain their balance.

And then we made eye contact.

“… … .”

“… … .”

No one opened their mouths right away because they were so shocked, but everyone had the same thought.

My intuition is that the epicenter is upstairs.

Even though there may be a surreal boundary between floors, those on the 7th floor actually felt the strongest vibrations.

Choi Beom-gyun, who was most knowledgeable about the situation upstairs, was the first to come to his senses.

“I told you… . If I pass now, it’s really going to be bad. However, there is no need to worry about Kang Seon-ho right now. You may not believe it, but that bastard has turned into a monster just like Han Seongjun’s father.”

Kwon Ha-seon also now took his words seriously.

However, the flow of thoughts came down to ‘worrying about Kang Seon-ho’.

As Kwon Ha-seon, who was on a par with Kang Seon-ho until the end, there were limits to imagining his growth.

No matter how much Choi Beom-gyun says that Kang Seon-ho is no better than Han Sang-cheol,

Kwon Ha-seon, who had encountered Han Sang-cheol just before, could not escape the feeling of a gap.

In other words, Kang Seon-ho is dangerous.

Even if you try your best, it may be difficult.

– I couldn’t help but think.

Also, Kwon Ha-seon was not a person who weighed the pros and cons or the possibility of survival in the first place.

I hurriedly raised my magic in case I was late.

Coogung!

Fortunately, the noise between floors has not completely stopped yet.

“Hey, can’t you… ! Ugh, shit.”

Beomgyun Choi sensed this and tried to dissuade him again, but he scratched his head when he realized that his stubbornness was unbreakable.

“Of course I can’t just leave it like that. “Don’t follow me.”

“What are you talking about? me too-”

Taekwang Park immediately protested, but Ha-seon Kwon firmly shook his head.

“I’m not ignoring you, but you’re just a burden—”

Ugh—!

It was not yet before Kwon Ha-seon finished speaking.

A blue light appeared behind Kwon Ha-seon like a halo.

The moment those who were looking at her blinked in the backlight.

Tsupat!

The light disappeared in an instant, like an old TV turning off.

And Kwon Ha-seon also disappeared together.

“What, what just…?” .”

“… !”

After a while, Park Tae-gwang, with a blank face, muttered, and then the group started to panic one by one.

Unless they were mistaken,

Kwon Ha-seon was swallowed by space.

And it was clearly not a phenomenon she created on her own.

Kwon Ha-seon’s last expression was one of not knowing what to do.

***

Rumbling!

Suddenly the ground cried.

Afterwards, it shook violently.

No, the entire visible landscape shook greatly.

“Ouch!”

Kang Seon-young lost her balance and fell.

‘… earthquake?’

If the entire tower is shaking, it cannot be said that it is just a vibration of the ground.

“W-what is it? suddenly?”

“Well, that’s fine. … “Isn’t that why it’s like that?”

“… This one? “I’ve never had anything like this before?”

Kang Seon-young pointed to the pendant in her hand to see if it would have any effect, but she immediately shook her head.

It would be shocking if it wasn’t effective.

Previously, during a fierce battle, I had personally tried to make the earth cry.

However, this was the first time I had felt such a vibration.

Isn’t there a clear difference between the shaking of the ground with a radius of a dozen meters and the shaking of space?

That’s why I was a little nervous.

As someone who has played the game with all his might – I knew that it would never be able to give the same impact as just before.

Although it was still under the restrictions of the tower at the time, considering that it was really ‘as best as it could’, it means that it was virtually impossible with human power.

So, if it was really the aftermath of a physical shock.

It meant that there was another monster like me somewhere in the tower.

‘Could it be Kang Seon-ho? … Or Echion?’

Well… If Marduk pushes you, there will be no need to force your way through the restrictions.

thud!

“uh… ?”

At that time, Kang Seon-young leaned forward.

I reflexively checked his condition.

Fortunately, he was still breathing,

First of all, I was sitting down on the floor, so it wasn’t even close to breaking.

‘… ‘You put him to sleep.’

The moment I feel relieved,

One step behind Kang Seon-young, a space opened and a familiar old man walked out.

Of course it’s Echion.

‘her… !’

I got goosebumps.

It wasn’t because I was reacting to the guy’s murderous actions or because I was surprised by his unexpected prayer.

I was surprised by the sheer way it appeared.

I didn’t come down from the door leading to the 80th floor somewhere,

It didn’t even appear at the entrance to the 79th floor, where I first set foot.

It appeared, dividing the space inside the tower at will.

That was originally an ability he had, but in the current situation, it seemed like a particularly deceptive power and weapon.

‘I expected there wouldn’t be any restrictions… .’

Echion said with a slightly surprised expression.

“We finally met again. Ho… . “It’s a face that knew I would show up.”

“I don’t have that many enemies. … “Why did you take care of that child?”

Echion smiled and looked down at Seonyeong Kang and said.

“It’s probably just as you guessed.”

This means that it was intended to recruit Kang Seon-ho.

“What are you planning to do with Kang Seon-ho?”

Of course, it can be expected that a relationship was formed by showing favor or setting conditions first, but

No matter how much I thought about it, I never thought that that would give Kang Seon-ho a motive to oppose me.

No matter how precious family is, this is not a character who would ever harm others for the sake of his family.

“You misunderstand. I didn’t use that guy. He just helped.”

I fell asleep talking bullshit.

‘Now that I think about it, what happened to Gayoung saying she would try to persuade her?’

I thought that if they had been planning something here the whole time, there would have been no chance for the two of them to meet again after that.

Ugh!

Echion flinched for a moment because he had suddenly used his magic power, but on the other hand, the portal quietly opened.

“What?”

Where is the door leading to,

The question was, what was the intention behind opening the door out of nowhere?

Echion poured quite a bit of energy into the portal without replying.

He seemed to be so focused that if he were to be attacked like this, he could take his head without effort.

Tsutsutsutsu!

Then, inside the border of the portal shining with blue light, the dark blue shade gradually became lighter as if it had been drained, and before long, it turned into a colorless translucent film.

Although it was an interesting scene, I was slowly getting annoyed.

If he didn’t sincerely answer my questions, there was no reason for me to endure the surprise attack.

“What do you mean? How to remove color… Huh!”

Just as I was about to express my frustration, the translucent membrane started playing a video.

“… … .”

It was a shocking enough video that the accident stopped for a moment.

Because it was a fight scene between my father and Kang Seon-ho.

‘what? How did this bastard tell the story of Rocco 33…? .’

Of course, I thought it was a ‘decisive battle that hasn’t happened yet’, but when I saw the familiar battle scene, I was once again horrified.

8th floor… ?

“Fuck… ! “Is that real time?”

Echion grinned and dissipated his magic power.

The screen, or rather the portal, disappeared.

Why is my father in the tower?

How did I run into Kang Seon-ho?

What motive does Kang Seon-ho have?

Many questions crossed my mind, but those weren’t the most important ones right away.

“Open again. right now!”

If two people fight, one must die to end it.

If you think rationally, Kang Seon-ho was no match for his father.

However, Kang Seon-ho’s momentum was so great that I thought it was a scene from Romance 33 for a moment.

“Your opponent is me… ”

Of course, I won’t listen to you obediently.

I hit Echion’s solar plexus.

Quang!

“Oops!”

There was no need to touch it.

Puzzle!

“I saved you because I still have a lot to ask… , I have no intention of matching your masterpiece, so use your judgment.”

“… !”

Echion clutched his chest and widened his eyes at my violent force, which was accompanied by an abnormal phenomenon where space was torn apart.

“open it.”

Shuhuaak!

When I applied more force and pressure, Echion waved his hand as if he understood.

When I saw the blue light blooming again, I was ready to jump in.

At first glance, I felt that the flow of magical energy was slightly different from before and I tilted my head.

As expected, the appearance was also different.

Ugh—!

This time, the blue light disappeared before it took the shape of a portal, leaving only a flash-bang-like eye bulge.

“If you do something foolish, you will die!”

Tsupat!

And he spat out the doll that wasn’t there.

‘Kwon Ha-seon?’

She came out of nowhere, looked around, found me, and asked.

“W-what… , uh? Mr. George? How did this happen?”

“… … .”

I couldn’t respond right away because I was thinking about the meaning of Echion’s trick.

I was as angry as I was in a hurry, but in fact, if I beat Echion to death, there would be no way to reach the 8th floor right away.

They say they can handle it now, but they didn’t have enough time to go backwards one by one from the 79th floor.

Of course, you can’t kill him, but there are plenty of ways to torture and pressure him.

‘In the meantime, I brought Kwon Ha-seon with me… la. Why are you doing something more disadvantageous to Ji?’

The current Kwon Ha-seon is comparable to Echion.

In other words, it is not an appropriate ‘hostage’ feeling.

Just because it was dragged to the 79th floor in the first place does not mean that Echion can take the hostage. There is no way I would let that happen.

‘What on earth are you planning?’

“Why is he here… . “Who is your grandfather?”

Meanwhile, Kwon Ha-seon’s head also moved to the sleeping Kang Seon-young and Ekion.

Echion said with a grin.

“He is the one who can get you out of here.”

“yes? “Are you my grandfather?”

Echion should be able to open a portal to the outside.

It wouldn’t be wrong since he doesn’t have any restrictions from the top.

“But there’s a problem to solve before that.”

‘no way… .’

As I looked at Echion’s smile growing brighter, something came to mind.

“Kill that nosy guy.”

“yes? what? “Are you telling me to kill an innocent person?”

However, the reason why I can’t help but feel nervous even with that childish trick is,

Because I am not currently Han Seongjun.

Of course, if you feel like Kwon Ha-seon is going to attack you, you can reveal your identity, but I was nervous because I had thought about that too.

Now that I see it, Ha-seon Kwon’s eyes seem to be slightly swollen.

My father’s current location is on the 8th floor.

I’m sure he also encountered Kwon Ha-seon.

The relevance is unknown, but it is also true that it is disturbing.

“There is no sin. Are you sure?”

“What a strange grandfather. “I won’t do it regardless of whether there is a crime or not.”

okay.

Ha-seon Kwon will not fall for that trick.

The real problem was that I also had no idea what to do with Echion.

Even if he is a very ‘weird grandfather’, Kwon Ha-seon will not tolerate persecution of the elderly.

Echion said with a grin.

“In the end, you will have a choice. Because that’s the only way to save everyone in the tower. Or are you going to harm this old man and take what you want?”

Echion’s head turned towards me.

Ha-seon Kwon said, following Echion’s gaze and looking back at me.

“I don’t do that either. I won’t let that happen. So, let’s take our time and think again.”

Kwon Ha-seon’s eyes are clearly directed at me,

They were saying that they would not allow violence.

‘Fuck… .’
