Episode 87.

It would have been great if the spirits had all the power they had when they were still alive, but that would be ridiculous. The spirits lacked physical strength, and the summoning canceled for more than half of them when they collided with the group of undead. However, the rest of the class showed quite a struggle. Furthermore, when the enemy was successfully defeated, they absorbed a very weak amount of Mana from them, recovering from their injuries and even becoming stronger.

Its a legion that can be nurtured.

Its scarier than any other power you have; its

The scariest thing was that no mana was needed to control them. Jung Si-woo was very satisfied with the brilliant transformation of the skill, which was hard to understand, and felt uncomfortable. At the same time, he felt the importance of exploring the Ant Cave dungeons more often.

Well, Ill think about it later.

Thats the last one, Hyeong-nim!

After about five hours of nonstop fighting along with the ghosts, they saw the end of the undead. The skeletons kept coming out like cockroaches, but now they were wavering!

Wow, its over! Ive done it!

Whoa

When the monsters mana vanished, Marina raised her arms high and shouted hurrah. On the other hand, Seria Wilson let out a sigh as if she had put down a heavy weight.

Si-woo, good job!

You, too.

Realizing that he was looking at them, Marina flapped her wings and flew softly to him. Jung Si-woo looked at her palm held up wide open and gave a high five. A smile bloomed on her face.

Perfect chemistry!

What a high five.

Soo Ah-rin grumbled. Marina, who embraced Jung Si-woo, stopped in front of him and hugged Soo Ah-rin instead.

Euukkk.

Good job, Ah-rin!

And it was all because of you, Marina, that we went through all this trouble. Im going to make sure that you pay the price.

Why do you say such things now?

I want to cut my ties with you right now.

Marina seemed to have been close to Soo Ah-rin before she retired. At least he thought so. Jung Si-woo happily watched Marina cling to Soo Ah-rin instead of bothering him so that he could retrieve the souls. They were spreading their wings and wandering around the battlefield to collect loot that they hadnt the time for before.

Oh, Uhm

Hmm? Wilson?

Meanwhile, when he turned his head to the voice calling for him, Seria Wilson was standing in front of him. She carefully asked as she looked at the shiny wings mixed with gold.

I dont know the principle, butmy guild members were among those souls, right?

I dont know why, either, but thats right.

It didnt matter if he killed the players himself or not. At the moment of the players death, or immediately after Jung Si-woo moved physically close to them, their souls were absorbed by his tattoo. Even until now, when his skills evolved, the principle was still unknown.

Can I speak to myguild members?

It wont reach them.

Khuhu

In response to his indifferent reply, Seria Wilson bit her lip gently. Nevertheless, she somehow managed to speak as she faced the ghosts of the Emperor guild members approaching her.

Jung Si-woo didnt bother to listen to how many words she uttered. After confirming that she was done, he absorbed all the ghosts into the tattoo.

Whoa.

Seria Wilson let out a big sigh for the last time and looked up at Jung Si-woo. Jung Si-woo was a little shaken by her eyes that looked like Lee Seo-hee.

Thank you. In many ways, for all of them.

All you have to do is remember what I said earlier.

YesIll take responsibility.

After finishing the words, she continued to hesitate for a while.

Ill keep what I saw today in my heart. Youre not an ordinary player, but I was saved because of you.

I dont care what you say. If anyone wants to find fault with Si-woo, hell have to break me and B&Y before that.

Since when have we become destined to be together?

Jung Si-woo sensed the strange atmosphere and quickly refuted Marina. It was a very grateful thing to him, but when he thought about Ethan Bissetts words and his eyes full of goodwill, he cant help but feel bad.

TodayI want to take a break, so Im thinking of stepping down. Can I see your face before that?

Oh, youre still trying.

He wouldnt talk too much about it when he first met her just a few hours ago, but he wouldnt mind if it were about the tectonic shift. Moreover, he already showed so many other things off earlier, so revealing his true self wasnt a big deal.

Ah.

He took off his helmet, and she looked very slightly surprised at Jung Si-woos bare face.

Asianconsidering the recent track record of Marina Bissett, you must be Korean?

Yes, my name is Jung Si-woo.

Oh, I seeIll tell you again when I see you. Si-woo, thank you so much.

Yes, yes, Miss Wilson.

Jung Si-woo thought it wasnt something worth hearing. He just didnt want to feel bad, so he saved her, and if she had become a monster a little later, he wouldve crushed her to death with a hammer. So she shouldve been thankful to Marina rather than Jung Si-woo. Marina was the one who tried to keep her human.

Hoo.

Of course, he wasnt tactful enough to say such a thing. However, to what extent his expression alone might have been able to reveal his inner thoughts, Seria Wilson soon withdrew with a bitter smile. The wings that remained with Louisoss traces spread wide.

TodayIm so sorry. Ill go back firstMarina Bissett, I want to let many people know how dangerous gods power is. I hope we can talk about it together soon.

As much as you want. Youre welcome to contact me about that.

Seria Wilson finally gave Jung Si-woo another look-over.

Ill see you again soon, Si-woo.

When Jung Si-woo tried to say that he didnt have to see her again, Seria Wilson flapped her wings and left the scene. Marinas not-so-trivial gaze followed sharply.

Shes not gonna

Isnt it so easy to fall in love with someone who saved your life once? This is a certain era. Dont you think so too?

Jung Si-woo was just shrugging when asked by Soo Ah-rin, who was running in a straight line. Honestly, it didnt matter, and he just wanted to go home and sleep now. Unfortunately, however, his wish didnt come true. Due to a lack of inventory, loot that wasnt collected had to be carried to the B&Y headquarters building with Marina in a huge bag.

Marie, Mr. Jung! Im glad youre both safe!

As a result, he met Ethan Bissett again, who had a face full of gratitude and emotion. Jung Si-woo, who had some idea that this would happen to him, sighed loudly.

Ive been briefed on the story. I didnt know youd solve it this perfectly

Oh, um, Mr. Bissett?

Call me Ethan. Oh, can I call you by your name? We might have the same last name soon. Hahaha.

The head of the Bisset family wanted to greet Jung Si-woo as his son-in-law. Soo Ah-rin was angry, but she didnt show up outside and endured it somehow. She must have succeeded in holding it in, yet the next minute Ethan said:

Theres actually something I have to apologize for. In this case, my minions were monitoring in the areaSi-woo, I was able to see the people who were with you.

Gasp.

It was Yong Se-has voice. However, Jung Si-woo thought this would happen. The area was dangerous, and it was so wide of a canyon. It was better than he had caught him. Eventually, he called Soo Ah-rin and Yong Se-ha to face Ethan.

Its Soo Ah-rin and Yong Se-ha. You know that, right?

I dont know Yong Se-ha, but I know about Soo Ah-rin. You cant forget a healer that nobody can beat. Most of all

A healer who was killed during the worlds first 32-stage dungeon clear under the leadership of the Soaring Tempest guild. The news of her death was reported not only in Korea but around the world. He couldnt have been unaware of it.

I wont ask you in detail. Ill hide it as much as I can if you want.

Just for now. I dont want to hide it forever.

Jung Si-woo had the ability, and he didnt mean to let Soo Ah-rin and Yong Se-ha stay hidden forever. Soo Ah-rin and Yong Se-ha looked a little embarrassed at his words, and Ethan nodded with satisfaction.

Si-woo, you dont have to worry about anything. Were already on your side. Dont forget that.

I already said that, Ethan! Dont score for me!

Hahaha.

To be honest, he seemed reliable. He wouldve gotten along better if there wasnt a conspiracy to give him the same last name as themJung Si-woo felt really sorry. Since then, Jung Si-woo managed to climb the gate to Seoul only after he was able to ditch Ethan, but Marina naturally stood next to him.

Why are you following me?

Ive got nothing to do because Ive solved the Grand Canyon with you in a day. Its all because were so good.

Lets go to the dungeon.

You know, the 33rd stage dungeon attack team is still a long way off.

Then take a good rest at your house.

But I want to see Si-woos house!

Marina was trying to keep up with him somehow. Jung Si-woo wasnt the owner of the gate, so he couldnt stop her, and eventually, she crossed the gate with him and arrived at the B&Y branch building in Seoul.

Would you like to have dinner, Si-woo? Youve been running so sweaty, so you need to get your energy back with steak! Theres wine, too! Yay!

Marina approached him as soon as they arrived in Seoul. However, the recommendation was no different from the man who asked him to go eat pork belly and soju after the reserve forces training. Of course, there was an overwhelming difference in that he was an old man and Marina was a beautiful blonde who made him feel better just by looking at herJung Si-woo shook his head firmly, recalling Ethan Bissetts happy smile in his head.

Ill pass. Im going home to eat. I have to eat with these guys.

Huh?

Did you hear that, Marina? If you want to drink wine like that, go to a fancy restaurant and drink a bottle of wine alone. Were going to sit together and have a home meal.

Maybe it was just his feeling, but Soo Ah-rin was very flattered. But Marina tilted her head.

So its okay, as long as we can all eat together, right?

I cant take them around in the open yet.

Thats all right. Theres a restaurant my brother owns.

What?

Hello. Yeah. Im Marie. Remember?

Was it a problem that could be solved just because of her status? It was Jung Si-woo who thought so at the moment, but Marina quickly opened her phone and got to business. It took less than a minute.

Okay, its break time. We decided not to open for dinner so that we can go now. All the people who work there are his people. Ah-rin and Mr. Yong can show up without any worries.

Restaurantthe whole restaurant?

Why are you surprised?

Come to think of it; it was something that could be done with money!

This ignorant woman

Come on, lets go!

Marina crossed one arm with Jung Si-woo and dragged him along. He eventually smiled bitterly and nodded.

Okay, lets go.

Hooray!

Oh, no. My Oppahes being targeted

Seonbae, did you learn about dating by playing games?

Shut up.

Okay.

It was the moment when Jung Si-woos first overseas business trip successfully ended.
