I Became a Prisoner in the Game After Defeating the Final Boss Chapter 171 : Chapter 171

Chapter 171 : Negotiation

My visit was so out of the blue and sudden that even Yuliana, who did not show agitation at most things, could not help but reveal her emotions.

"……Why is Vell Blackwood here?"

"I don't know that."

Yuliana also already knew the fact that I had been dispatched to the Eastern Union as the person in charge of the Supre King assassination operation carried out independently at the Winter Castle.

In these present tis where there are rumors that the Supre King is dead, what on earth could it an that I have co here alive and well.

"……Th, I'm saying this just in case, but surely the Supre King's death isn't related to Vell Blackwood, right?"

Seeing her look sowhat embarrassed after actually saying it, Royer shook his head as if it were absurd.

"No matter how special Vell Blackwood is, that makes no sense. According to the information network, the Supre King is at least a Level 8 or higher Demonic person. But didn't we also see Vell Blackwood's level?"

"That is true, but……."

Why was it.

Yuliana was instinctively feeling an unknown discomfort.

In Yuliana's mory, I was a player who had strange corners in many ways, and that strangeness sotis looked like specialness.

No, just looking at the fact that Insight did not work at all, it would be insufficient to say I was special.

On top of that, if one included Cain's item that I possessed, Yuliana's thoughts might not be re speculation.

If it were , perhaps really…….

'……What.'

Yuliana soon shook her head.

Because she thought that no matter what, this was going too far.

Even assuming I was a person with a connection to Cain, was Cain a person who would move carelessly?

No, in a situation where it was questionable whether Cain was even in this world in the first place, that was a thought that went too far.

"……Let's et him once for now. Then we will know."

"Let's do that."

Royer nodded as if agreeing.

And a silence flowed between the two for a mont.

"……What are you doing? Aren't you going? You have to go and call Vell Blackwood."

When Yuliana, unable to endure it, spoke first, only then did Royer nod.

"Ah. I have to go."

"……Just go quickly."

Where on earth to use that thing…….

For now, he was specially recruited because he was the only player affiliated with Bellerophon within the knights, but there was no waste like that waste.

"Mmm……."

Yuliana waited for Royer to return amidst an unknown nervousness.

And…….

Clack.

Not long after, the door opened again with a knock that was omitted once more, and a man revealed his appearance along with Royer.

It was .

"It has been a long ti, Vell Blackwood. What brings you to find the Griffin Knights all of a sudden?"

"Because I have sothing to say."

It was a short answer, but with that, Yuliana could know that my atmosphere had changed distinctly from before.

The Vell Blackwood she faced before did not give off an atmosphere like now, even though I was suspicious in many ways.

Although even Insight could not see through , it was because essentially I was not that strong of a player.

But how was it now?

An infinitely dangerous atmosphere was flowing out from , who was rely suspicious but not dangerous just a while ago.

To the extent that even Yuliana had to be tense.

Perhaps, really.

Could there be so connection between the Supre King's disappearance and ?

"……I am curious, exactly what business brings you all the way here."

"Because it is an important story, I would like for just the two of us to talk."

At that, Yuliana glanced slightly toward Royer.

Of course, Royer stayed still.

"……Royer."

"Huh?"

"Go out for a mont."

"Why? I want to hear too."

"……Please, co on."

"So cheap. Alright."

Looking at Royer leaving the office slowly only then, I laughed strictly.

"Your subordinate is quite loyal."

"I am not in the mood to joke, as I feel like taking him sowhere and throwing him away."

In Yuliana's eyes, which had let out a complaint once, an unusual light shone.

"So, what is it?"

"I want to make a deal."

"A deal? What do you want?"

For what reason did I co all the way here.

Yuliana was curious about that.

"Fragnt."

However, the mont she heard that answer, Yuliana doubted her own ears.

"……Pardon?"

"I want a Fragnt."

Yuliana's expression was dyed with shock.

She had thought sothing was unusual from the mont I ca all the way here, but she never dread I would bring up such business.

"What……. Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

"That is a word I simply cannot overlook. I am the Commander of the Griffin Knights, but I am also a mber of Bellerophon. Yet you dare to talk about Fragnts in front of ?"

An unusual aura began to flow out from Yuliana.

Nevertheless, I spoke calmly without my complexion changing a bit.

"Rather, that is why I ca to find you, Yuliana."

"……It has been bothering since a little while ago, but your speech has beco quite short?"

"It's my personality."

"You have beco different from before."

"I'm on that side."

Rather, this was closer to my real personality, but there was no way Yuliana would know that fact.

"I cannot know exactly why you brought up the story about Fragnts in front of , but I cannot give you a Fragnt."

"That ans you do have one."

"Even if so, would there be anything that changes? You have clearly crossed the line now."

Despite Yuliana spewing out an intense aura incessantly, I did not budge.

How many people would be this fine after receiving her aura head-on.

Yuliana had no choice but to admit that curiosity was arising along with doubt.

"I understand that Bellerophon is a faction that worries about the danger of the Fragnts. Is that right?"

"You know correctly. Yet you are demanding a Fragnt from us?"

"I am."

"……You, are you serious?"

"I am serious."

She didn't know exactly what I was trusting to speak like this, but Yuliana decided to exercise patience and listen to my words for now.

"The danger of the Fragnt probably refers to the Demonic energy the Fragnt harbors after all, right?"

"You know well. Demonic energy is a dangerous power. As long as one is human, if exposed to that power, one eventually ends up losing oneself. Yet you dare to say you will take the Fragnt? While going against Bellerophon's will?"

"I know that too."

"No. Seeing you now, it seems you do not know the true danger the Fragnt possesses. What eventually happens to an existence that coveted power, and what kind of existence a Demonic person is."

Yuliana knew well about Demonic people.

When Bellerophon was not exclusive about Fragnts like now in the beginning, even just back then, there was an opinion within Bellerophon asking if it wasn't right to take the Fragnts anyway.

Because the Fragnts harbored a huge secret, and eventually, one could approach the secret of this world only by solving that secret.

Like that, a kind of experint began within Bellerophon.

To state the result first, the experint was a failure.

Although there might be big and small differences for each person, those who took the Fragnts without stopping all beca Demonic people.

Those who beca Demonic people possessed a certain level of reason at first, but gradually lost themselves to the Demonic energy and eventually beca existences with only the instinct for Demonic energy remaining.

Bellerophon's goal, which said it would dig into the world's secrets at one ti, changed completely from then.

Fragnts are dangerous.

This power must not exist.

Yuliana, who had witnessed the danger possessed by Demonic people closer than anyone else, was also aggressively agreeing with that opinion.

"Vell Blackwood, I do not know why you ca all the way here to demand a Fragnt, but this is the last ti. Go back. The favor I extend to you ends here."

If it were normal tis, sending back like this would be an impossible thing, but Yuliana still thought I was a figure related to Cain.

She judged that it was better to just send back like this rather than poking a beehive clumsily for no reason.

"There must be so misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? What are you saying I am misunderstanding?"

"If the reason for being wary of the Fragnt is due to the danger regarding Demonic energy, there is no need for that."

"What are you saying right now? Surely you aren't claiming that Demonic energy is not dangerous, right? I am sorry, but such a claim was discarded a long ti ago. Demonic energy is dangerous. Therefore, Fragnts are also dangerous."

"That is not what I an."

"Then what is it?"

Because she beca curious about what exactly I was trying to say, Yuliana decided to listen for now.

"I am not affected by Demonic energy. So it doesn't matter how many Fragnts I take."

"You aren't affected by Demonic energy? Such nonsense……."

"Will you test it?"

Along with that, intense Demonic energy began to spew out from .

It is ominous and ominous again.

Yuliana knew very well what that ominousness originated from.

"……You, you were a Demonic person!"

If it was this level, it was not a level of simply absorbing a Fragnt moderately.

Demonic energy of a level that far surpassed the level to access the Level 5 Verification Board authority at the very least.

If it was this much, it was unreasonable to think I wasn't a Demonic person.

When Yuliana tested before, I was not a Demonic person.

Then was the fact that my atmosphere changed also because I beca a Demonic person?

Yuliana raised her sword amidst the bitterness she felt for so unknown reason.

The background of that bitterness was probably because she had expected sothing from .

That expectation that perhaps, if it were , sothing might be different.

But it was a delusion.

If a Demonic person revealed their true colors, punishing them is the providence. Yuliana intended to follow that providence.

"I am not a Demonic person."

"Do you not think it is too unpersuasive to claim that with such an appearance?"

"Does it look like I have lost my reason?"

The Demonic energy that had spewed from subsided as if asking when it ever did.

An appearance that seed to still possess reason at least.

"I also know what a Demonic person is. I have encountered them not a few tis actually. I am not a Demonic person, and I won't be in the future either."

"……For now, it looks like that."

But Yuliana was negative.

"Just because you can endure better than others, that does not an you are immune to the influence Demonic energy causes. You are just like that too."

Among the players who participated in Bellerophon's experint, there were also those from the Punishnt Order who possessed strong resistance to Demonic energy.

Those who inherently had very excellent resistance against the Demonic.

However, in the end, they all also beca Demonic people.

Demonic energy is not a power that a human can dare to handle.

That was the conclusion Bellerophon and Yuliana reached over a long ti.

"Stop coveting the Fragnt even now. If it is at a level where you can still maintain reason, you can stop."

"You don't believe my words."

"You can believe yourself to be special. Many people were like that. But you aren't. There is no person that special in front of Demonic energy."

Yuliana could not know why she was soothing , but she felt she had to do so for now.

"I will pretend the thing that happened today did not happen, so go back now."

"If I cannot do that?"

"Then I will have to drag you out by force."

"Amusing."

I rose from my seat.

"Try it once."

Yuliana's patience began to reveal its bottom.
