A hill in Gangwon-do.

 

‘Dark Knight’ and ‘Gareas’ walked out of the gate that scattered black energy.

 

They were carrying loads of loot.

 

“Is this item given to Eve?”

 

“yes. Eve has a resurrection skill, so you have to cover it with a cooldown reduction effect.”

 

I got two things from this dungeon.

 

First of all, he obtained the cooldown equipment for Eve, and Shin Noda obtained enormous abilities by using ‘succession’ on the monsters.

 

Of course, the efficiency of the ‘succession’ skill is better for hunting monsters than hunting villains.

 

In the past, monsters were rarer than people and harder to catch, so it was more efficient to hunt easy villains, but now that we have reached the S rank, the situation is different.

 

“That kid… Can you believe it?”

 

Isia looked very reluctant.

 

Wasn’t he originally a child who believed in a pseudo-religion?

 

Betrayal at a critical moment is fatal.

 

In her eyes, the act of letting Eve into the party seemed too risky.

 

“It’s not like that, you have to believe it. If not, you have to win the heart somehow.”

 

In Shinnoda’s mind, there was no such thing as a demon lord raid that excluded the priest.

 

And since this was the judgment of the person who first cleared the original work, there was a high possibility that it was correct.

 

“The ultimate target, the Demon King, is a guy who makes fun of instant kills. The basic raid strategy is to defend the priest to death.”

 

“How strong is the Demon King?”

 

“You can think of it as exceeding the SSS level in all abilities. Although the vitality may be low.”

 

Isiah shivered slightly.

 

Usually, it takes more than 3 Awakeners of the same class to catch monsters of the same class.

 

If what Shinnoda said was true, it meant that three SSS-level Awakeners were needed.

 

Seeing the slightly frightened look of ‘Gareas’, I hurriedly added an excuse.

 

“it’s okay. The trials so far have not been easy, but I have done it all. You only need to quickly find and build the Demon King. He gets exponentially stronger the more time you give him.”

 

Of course, the fact that the SSS class is the fastest way to find the demon king was intentionally hidden.

 

If time is delayed, it becomes strong enough to crush the earth, and the fight itself becomes impossible.

 

“I see.”

 

“And there are things I need to arrange before the fight, and I will take care of that. No need to worry. I know how from the future.”

 

Shinnoda thought of a way to defeat the demon lord she had discovered.

 

The reason he analyzed so far that users had not been able to defeat the demon king was simple.

 

Because the demon king tried to kill him by defeating him.

 

‘It’s a natural way in the game, so everyone must have done it. But it’s an opponent I can’t win with that kind of straight attack.’

 

All stats exceed SSS level.

 

Its strength is shocking.

 

Players with good physical abilities can solo boss monsters of the same level, but there is no hint of an advanced level.

 

That’s why Shinnoda came to the conclusion.

 

‘The creator didn’t make the demon king fight honestly and win in the first place.’

 

And the clever way to win was found only by Shin Noda in this game with thousands of skills and items.

 

The key is the common sense change (curse) that you will soon get and the tsunami skill you got from Leviathan.

 

‘How much trouble I put into putting this together.’

 

There were many games in which bosses were defeated using given materials, so it was an idea that any gamer could come up with.

 

But what if the material is in the thousands?

 

To hide a tree, you have to hide it in the forest, so the manufacturer hid the skills and items to kill the Demon King in thousands of them.

 

‘Dirty bastards… ‘

 

Shinnoda cursed at the game company.

 

It was sheer luck that he figured out this combination, but that wasn’t all.

 

The secret was the ‘save & load’ quality of anger.

 

“Status window.”

 

He decided to check whether he met the ability level to obtain ‘common sense change’.

Polymorph, Gungnir, Earrings, Rings, etc.

 

When she bought earrings and rings for Park Ha-yeon, she bought her own too.

 

To summarize, it was as follows.

 

strength SSS

 

Agile SS

 

intelligence A

 

luck C

 

He was the strongest human on earth.

 

I can’t guarantee victory, but I’m at a level where I can compete with all of the ‘Inner Circle’ by myself.

 

‘I’ll have to make Laura’s body and get an SS rank for agility before the demon king appears.’

 

Shinnoda personally transformed into a dragon, and was able to confirm that the dragon’s physical abilities alone are enormous.

 

If magic was added, it would be enormous.

 

In addition, since the SS grade was unlocked during Park Ha-yeon’s crisis situation, it seemed good to take it while it was released.

 

‘I have a growth cheat anyway.’

 

The dungeon now provided more experience points than Seoul, where the villains were almost eradicated.

 

In addition, if he obtained the ‘Orb of Growth’, he could give it to Park Ha-yeon or Eve.

 

***

 

Returning home, Shin Noda had to face Park Ha-yeon’s harsh questioning.

 

“Where have you been?”

 

Park Ha-yeon crossed her arms and asked coldly.

 

She had already solidified her belief that Shinnoda was the ‘Dark Knight’.

 

“I went to the dungeon.”

 

It was a little late to stop by the dungeon, but the hunt for the ‘Dark Knight’ did not stop today.

 

He calmly told an alternative truth.

 

Strictly speaking, it’s not a lie.

 

Park Ha-yeon let out a small sigh.

 

It was another pattern.

 

“ha. Yes, I guess. I heard someone was being beaten today, so I went to help and the guy who hit me gave me your name. Do you know anything?”

 

“Okay. Because I’m so famous… ”

 

Shinnoda was watching the scene clearly as a ‘dark knight’, but she pretended not to.

 

“… … ”

 

Park Ha-yeon staring at her.

 

He involuntarily turned his head.

 

At this moment, the two felt a strong conviction.

 

‘I’m sure Shinnoda… !’

 

‘I finally figured it out!’

 

Park Ha-yeon said that he is a ‘dark knight’.

 

And that Shinnoda noticed that she was the ‘Dark Knight’.

 

The two groaned almost simultaneously.

 

““Mmm.””

 

A strange confrontation ensued.

 

It broke when Alpha pulled out.

 

“You two should eat this.”

 

“Ah, thank you.”

 

“thank you.”

 

Park Ha-yeon and Shin Noda thanked Alpha.

 

Rather than bringing out the car, I felt grateful for breaking this unknown confrontation.

 

“What do you think of the Dark Knight? After all, he seems like a criminal who would be wrathful to you.”

 

Shinnoda asks carefully.

 

His voice was slightly trembling.

 

The ‘Dark Knight’ was clearly a criminal, but it was undoubtedly a part of Shinnoda himself.

 

“yes. Even though the opponent is a villain, private sanctions are an obvious crime. The Dark Knight has no authority to punish people. He doesn’t even have the ability to properly cover up the wrongs.”

 

As expected, Shin Noda’s face darkened slightly, and Park Ha-yeon shook her hand and continued, saying that that was not the end.

 

“But I don’t know either. So, does the state have such a right? Will the investigative agency’s investigation be 100% accurate… … ”

 

The original Park Ha-yeon would not have worried about this, but the series of events she experienced with Shin Noda completely changed her.

 

A soldier shot himself.

 

The coup d’état government of the Awakeners is unexpectedly supported by the people.

 

The democratic forces, which were thought to be justice, colluded with pseudo-religions.

 

Citizens’ enthusiasm for ‘The Dark Knight’.

 

The terrible past of the hero ‘Medusa’ was exposed by the ‘Dark Knight’.

 

It came from the story of the necromancer Yujin Kang.

 

In addition to this, countless other things ran through Park Ha-yeon’s head.

 

What justice is, how one gets the power to punish another… Many questions were asked and the conclusion was one.

 

‘What may seem like justice to me may be evil to others. Right and wrong are relative, and no one is unconditionally bad.’

 

Park Ha-yeon decided to give ‘The Dark Knight’ a chance.

 

I didn’t know if it came as a result of deliberation or as a favor to Shinnoda.

 

She had no reason to differentiate.

 

“Why did the Dark Knight do that? Why the hell did you have to find the villain and kill him? Simple sympathy? Heroism?”

 

Shin Noda looked straight into Park Ha-yeon’s eyes with a serious face and started to answer.

 

It was an easy question for him.

 

“Because I needed it to save the world.”

 

The ‘Dark Knight’ moved with only one goal, even though it may have been a bit selfish in the process.
