The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 326 - Seoul (17)

Seoul (17)

The G.o.d of duel.

The G.o.d who had been watching me since the early days of the Tutorial.

Since I was an amateur challenger who didn’t know anything, when I didn’t have the same confidence I had now. Thanks to that, he didn’t have a good impression of me.

Somewhere in between, he had a change of mind, so he gave me some power as a gift. He was also a G.o.d who didn’t pay much attention to me because his evaluation changed again.

Before entering the 60th floor, the messages I’d seen about the G.o.d of Duel were usually like this:

[G.o.d of Duel regrets something.]

[G.o.d of Duel is displeased.]

[G.o.d of Fight regrets something.]

[G.o.d of Duel is disappointed in you.]

Such was the case. That was all. I knew what the duel G.o.d wanted.

Me to have a fair confrontation with an enemy.

But f*ck that, it wasn’t possible in the Tutorial’s h.e.l.l Difficulty.

No matter how much I got stronger, at the time, it was abnormal to demand such a thing at a high level of difficulty, where the easier option was to hit someone’s back or find a shortcut.

Was it on the fourth floor? There was a negative message for me, saying that I’d have to repeat the attack against the city of Goblins. Should I have run straight from the main gate of the city of Goblins to the throne room of the King Goblin?

What the duel G.o.d wanted was always unrealistic. Of course, after gaining more power, I was able to clear it in the way he wanted me to.

But why would I? I was never interested in fair confrontation. It has always been that way, and it will continue to be so.

In conclusion, the G.o.d of Duel was a G.o.d who wasn’t on good terms with me. So when Hochi and Yong-yong had partic.i.p.ated in the Tournament, the G.o.d of Duel demanded the return of his power.

That obstinate G.o.d suffered whenever his power was used in a wrong way. That may be why the power, which had already been altered, copied, torn and used, was still asked to be given back, with a promise of reward.

“G.o.d of Duel.”

He nodded his head.

He was a giant with flaming red skin, bulging eyes and a muscular, yet irregularly-shaped body that was reminiscent of the goblins listed in folktales. He resembled the monks I’d met on the 13th floor. Maybe they’re from the same clan.

“What brings you here?”

“Requirement: the return of powers.”

The G.o.d of Duel answered, plainly, in a firm voice. He was a little different from the G.o.d of Hope, who telepathically communicated in the shape of a strange fly.

Stiff talk. He looked like a monk, but his tone was a little different.

“That request was accepted by me.”

The G.o.d of Duel nodded. The G.o.d of Duel had promised a reward. It was of no consequence to return a power that was already useless to me.

But…

“Who gave you permission to come here?”

“Of course your…”

The voice of the G.o.d of Duel, who’d answered in a monotonous manner, halted.

Everything in sight began to vibrate. The sofa, alarm clock, table, and other furniture in the living room of the flat rose into the air and were broken into pieces while vibrating. The walls and ceilings of the building were drilled with holes. Same was for the G.o.d of Duel.

His skin couldn’t stand the shock and began to peel off. He, who already had red skin, became more red with blood clots all over his body.

This was different from the G.o.d of Hope who summoned his own world to j.a.pan and dealt with me. The G.o.d of Duel jumped into the middle of my territory, and to make matters worse, exactly where I was.

Die.

“I accepted the demand for the return of your power. Though I don’t remember saying that you could come to my place at any time.”

The G.o.d of Duel tried to use his power and protect his body.

He spat out, “Have you been busy?”

His voice was weirdly calm. And the answer wasn’t fit for a situation where his eyes were being half pulled out. It was definitely a busy day.

Restoration of Seregia… I had to find a solution. I still needed to call in Kim Min-hyuk to find out what happened over the past few days, and what Hochi and Yong-yong had been doing. I also had to visit Park Min and wring his neck.

“You must have been very busy. I’m sorry. You told me to come later, so I thought that the timing wouldn’t be important.”

The G.o.d of Duel immediately apologized. I didn’t like it. Even in such a situation, he gave me a calm reply, not a scream.

“More than anything, I thought it would be best to meet you now. For me, for you and for the other G.o.ds watching us.”

F*cking b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

This was the most annoying thing. The G.o.d of Duel did not come alone. There were countless eyes of G.o.ds with him. The G.o.ds of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple.

Just as Lee Yeon-hee came to the 60th floor with the eyes of those G.o.ds, the G.o.d of Duel did the same. The fact that the G.o.ds could indirectly come out and look at Earth through the G.o.d of Duel wasn’t pleasant for me.

“What do you mean by ‘would be best for me’?”

I won’t allow him to make a bullsh*t story. I’m willing to pull out his eyes and make him blind like the guy on the 13th floor.

“Many G.o.ds are anxious.”

“Why?”

“Of course, because of you.”

Tch.

I clicked my tongue. It was the same as Kirikiri said.

“You are an anomaly in many ways. Most Combat G.o.ds can’t even reach the Minor G.o.d level, but you are well beyond it.”

“I see how it is.”

It’s no wonder that the Hundred G.o.ds Temple was concerned about my power.

A more important problem. What I wanted was owned by the G.o.ds of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple.

“It’s been less than a day since the hunt was over, have you already prepared the cauldron?”

As soon as I had finished hunting down the G.o.d of Hope and the Rulers, they checked in immediately. It was too much of a coincidence. I thought about dealing with them once I kill the G.o.d of Duel, the medium of their gaze, and shut all the eyes on Earth.

‘Seregia.’

[Yes, Warrior.]

‘Help me.’

[It’s too much right now.]

‘Can’t you do anything?’

[I’m helpless.]

d.a.m.n it.

Seregia seemed to be in a worse condition than expected. When she killed the fake, she was. .h.i.t hard by the power of G.o.d of Hope.

I was also harmed by that power, but Seregia, who had to face it head-on as a weapon, suffered even more damage.

It wasn’t something that I had noticed while getting back to Earth. First, I had to solve the issue at hand. Before the Hundred G.o.ds Temple could come down to Earth in earnest, I’d have to kill the G.o.d of Duel.

I was planning my future actions, when suddenly the quest window opened. Having opened without my will, the quest window flashed brightly.

[Quest Window]

[G.o.d of Slowness-Conversation with G.o.d of Duel.]

[G.o.d of Remorse-Conversation with G.o.d of Duel.]

[G.o.d of Origin-Conversation with G.o.d of Duel.]

[G.o.d of Amus.e.m.e.nt-Conversation with G.o.d of Duel.]

[G.o.d of Devotion-Conversation with G.o.d of Duel.]

[G.o.d of Light-Explosion! (Completed)]

[G.o.d of Light-Explosion! (new!)]

It was an unexpected quest. But I could understand the will of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple. They wanted me to talk to the G.o.d of Duel. They’re going to talk to me, using the G.o.d of duel as a spokesperson.

[G.o.d of Slowness-Conversation with G.o.d of Duel.]

Explanation: The G.o.d Of Slowness is curious about your latest move.

The G.o.d Of Slowness would like to learn more about you through a conversation with the G.o.d of Duel who visited to get his power back.

[G.o.d of Remorse-Conversation with G.o.d of Duel.]

Explanation: The G.o.d of Adventure asked.

[G.o.d of Origin-Conversation with G.o.d of Duel.]

Explanation: The G.o.d of Origin is deeply concerned about your recent move.

The G.o.d of Origin would like to confirm that your move does not threaten the safety of the G.o.d of Origin, through the conversation with the G.o.d of Duel who has visited to receive his power back.

There were even different explanations for what they wanted even though they all gave the same quest.

The G.o.ds of Slowness and Adventure were intrigued while the G.o.d of Origin was concerned.

The G.o.d of Light…

What is this?

I’m sure I already did that.

[G.o.d of Light-Explosion, please! (Completed)]

[G.o.d of Light-Explosion, again please! (new!)

Description: The Lord of Light is shouting ‘One more time’. The G.o.d of Light has prepared a reward for the quest, a new price, but not consent for the transfer of the tutorial. Whatever the reward is, you’d better ignore it.

I’ll ignore it.

All the other G.o.ds wanted me to have a conversation with the G.o.d of Duel. It was not to draw a conclusion through conversation, but to use it as a basis for judgment on me. It was strange, but that was the att.i.tude the G.o.ds had been using for the challengers.

“Conversation.”

“Are you willing?”

The G.o.d of Duel was still calm.

I wanted to throw a stone in that calmness.

Conversation.

My preferred conversation was one that involved throwing hands and not words.

“Ta-da!”

Then, Kirikiri, who had disappeared through the quest window, came back out.

* * *

“Heng heng, I knew you two were going to fight,” commented Kirikiri, munching on a chocolate pie.

Now, even if I didn’t give it to her, she brought snacks out of the kitchen on her own.

“Come on, eat. Talk while eating.”

Kirikiri said so, and gave me and the G.o.d of Duel one slice of chocolate pie each.

Hey, this is mine.

It’s my house.

To put it aside, it was a house owned by Kim Min-hyuk, and the snacks he bought.

“The G.o.d of Duel doesn’t speak well. How dumb. Ahahaha.”

Kirikiri laughed, pounding the back of the duel G.o.d. The G.o.d of Duel quietly tore off a piece of the choco pie, and began munching on it. It seemed that he didn’t even care that Kirikiri had hit his back.

It was annoying. The fact that he remained so unguarded irritated me.

“There are two main concerns of the G.o.ds.”

“What is it?”

“One is that you’re completely out of the constraints of the system.”

Does that matter?

It was different from the G.o.d of Hope, who used the boundaries of the system to his benefit. The G.o.d of Hope used his men, but the other G.o.ds did not punish him because he belonged to the Hundred G.o.ds Temple.

But in my case, my land was only vaguely related to the Hundred G.o.ds Temple, and if you looked closely, I myself, would be considered a third party.

If I’d intruded into the joint area of ​​the Hundred G.o.ds Temple without permission, I would be attacked by the Hundred G.o.ds Temple.

“Well, maybe you can find a loophole. Above all, In the eyes of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple defense is impossible if you attack only the personal land of a particular G.o.d. Just as you destroyed the holy lands of the G.o.d of Hope.”

It’s not the problem of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple, but a particular G.o.d then.

“Some of the G.o.ds are worried they might be your target.”

That won’t happen.

“You think I’m going to pick a fight with just anybody?”

“Heng-heng.”

Kirikiri just smiled.

I guess you think so.

“The second worry is choosing a way to avoid the restrictions, with Ho-jae protected by the system.”

“And how is that possible?”

To avoid the restrictions while being protected by the system.

“You already know. By becoming the apostle of another G.o.d.”

Apostle.

I hadn’t expected that to appear again.

“In the first place, the apostles were created by the G.o.ds to free themselves from restrictions and expand their sphere of influence. If you’re an apostle of another G.o.d, you’ll be a part of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple, but you can avoid the system’s constraints. ”

“Can you be an apostle of another G.o.d even after you become G.o.d?”

“Of course.”

Several hypotheses came to mind.

About the G.o.d of Hope.

“Among the G.o.ds in the Hundred G.o.ds Temple, is there any other “G.o.d apostle”?”

“Yes. Yes. There are. Typically they were under the G.o.d of Hope.”

The G.o.d of Hope. That’s why I got the impression that he was free from the system.

Kirikiri said, looking at the G.o.d of Duel sitting next to her.

“G.o.d of Duel here is also an apostle.”

The G.o.d of Duel was the apostle of another G.o.d.

Whose apostle was he?

Soon, I got the answer.

“The G.o.d of Slowness.”

The G.o.d of Duel nodded.

“Heng-heng. Anyway, Ho-jae is very unique, such a situation has never happened before. That’s why it’s like this. Just know that the Hundred G.o.ds Temple doesn’t want to antagonize you right now.”

The Hundred G.o.ds Temple had no intention of antagonizing me. Of course. There was no unified opinion in the Hundred G.o.ds Temple. Practically each G.o.d had different thoughts and goals after all.

“So what was the conversation they wanted to have with me?”

“Well, they wonder what you’re going to do in the future, and whether you plan to antagonize them in the future.”

I asked the G.o.d of Duel, but Kirikiri answered instead.

The G.o.d of Duel stared at Kirikiri and opened his mouth.

“I have a proposal for you.”

“Huh?”

Kirikiri looked at the G.o.d of Duel with her eyes wide open. The G.o.d of Duel spoke without regard for her.

“It’s a proposal from the G.o.d of Slowness. Become her apostle.”

Kirikiri’s eyes began to glow fiercely, her face radiating as she glared at him.

As expected, each G.o.d had their own agenda.
