Side Story 32

Seong Jihan frowned as soon as he saw the quest clear condition.

'Defeat the Sword King?'

He thought the quest na "True Overcoming" ant sothing, but the condition seed too unreasonable.

It was true that Yoon Seah had beco stronger, but not to the point of being able to fight the Sword King.

'Should I go to Japan and cut off his limbs?'

Seong Jihan briefly considered committing terrorism in reality, but soon abandoned the idea.

The quest na was "True Overcoming".

Defeating Yoon Sejin in a state where he couldn't fight probably wouldn't count as clearing the quest.

So in the end, Yoon Seah would have to defeat Yoon Sejin with her own skills...

'There could be so team variables.'

The quest clear condition didn't specify winning as part of the Korean national team.

Since Yoon Seah wasn't showing attachnt to the Korean national team right now.

If she joined a stronger team than Korea, then fought Yoon Sejin as part of that national team.

The chances of victory could increase.

'If we're talking about a country clearly better ranked than Japan...'

It would have to be the United States or China.

She could defeat Yoon Sejin when those national teams fight Japan.

If choosing between the US and China.

'The US would probably be better.'

The US national team was nearly complete but their warrior line was a bit weak.

In contrast, China already had the Heavenly Demon Body Wang Lin active, so there were fewer spots for Yoon Seah to play an active role.

Additionally.

'Considering Jin Yuhwa, there's no need to go to China.'

Jin Yuhwa, who had instigated Yoon Seah's death.

Wasn't she part of the Triads?

While unrelated to the Chinese governnt, there was no need to go there and potentially get entangled.

Of course.

'Going to China would an more frequent clashes with Japan.'

Being in the sa Northeast Asian league, the Chinese national team would likely have more battle opportunities.

So opportunities to fight Yoon Sejin would also be more frequent with the Chinese team.

However.

'This year... Right. The US and Japan were placed in the sa group league in the World Champions League.'

Originally, this would have been the year Yoon Seah passed away.

The reason he rembered the flow of the World Champions League at this ti was because the US and Japan had faced each other in the World Champions League finals.

While Yoon Seah had died, Yoon Sejin was performing greatly in the finals.

How much he had gritted his teeth watching that.

'Back then, they said the countries that t in the group stage t again in the finals.'

The US and Japan.

They had played in the sa league during the round of 16 group stage.

The dia had extensively covered how the 1st and 2nd place from the group stage were eting again.

Seong Jihan asked Park Yoonsik, who was blankly watching Yoon Seah's replay,

"When does the World Champions League group stage start?"

"The group stage... is about a month and a half away."

"A month and a half, huh."

Could she grow enough to defeat the Sword King in that ti?

'It doesn't seem easy.'

Should he commit terrorism against Japan's Sword King after all?

As long as the visible parts were fine, that was all that mattered, right?

As Seong Jihan was thinking this.

Creak.

"Martial God! I got promoted!"

Yoon Seah ca in with a bright face.

"Congratulations! Miss Yoon Seah!"

"Oh... you were still here?"

Yoon Seah tilted her head at Park Yoonsik's warm welco.

He quickly replied.

"Ah. Haha. Yes. The Martial God said he wanted to watch your promotion match BattleTube..."

"Ah, I see~ Then you're done now, right?"

"I... guess so?"

At that, Yoon Seah smiled slightly and glanced towards the door.

A subtle gesture asking him to leave.

Park Yoonsik caught on and quickly stood up, bowing 90 degrees to Seong Jihan and Yoon Seah.

"Thank you for your hard work today! Miss Yoon Seah, congratulations again on your Diamond promotion!"

"Yes. Thank you for the congratulations~"

After waving goodbye to Park Yoonsik.

"Martial God. Now that I've beco Diamond, are we entering the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams?"

As soon as he left, she imdiately brought up the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams.

The large-scale Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams that required Lee Hayeon and Lim Gayeong.

Lee Hayeon was already recruited, but, to gather as much of the Blue stat as possible, they had been postponing entry until Yoon Seah beca Diamond.

Now that she was Diamond, it was ti to go.

"Yes. We'll enter."

"Okay. Then let's go right away!"

"You don't need to rest?"

"The promotion match was so easy, I'm still overflowing with energy."

Seong Jihan nodded and contacted Lee Hayeon.

[Oh, you an the Abyss today...?]

"Yes. Co to the center with your companion."

[So, you're saying we're going right now?]

Lee Hayeon was clearly flustered at being told to go imdiately without prior notice.

"Is it difficult?"

[...No. We'll head out as soon as we're ready.]

But perhaps because she had already received so much from Seong Jihan.

She quickly complied and said she would deploy to the center.

"We'll have to wait a bit. You should rest in the anti."

"I'm really fine."

Yoon Seah said she was fine and instead asked a question.

"Um... Martial God. What should I aim for now?"

"An aim... How about defeating the Sword King?"

"Defeat the Sword King?"

To suggest defeating the Sword King as the next goal right after reaching Diamond.

It was a goal that others would say skipped several steps, but.

"Then could I beco world rank 1 too?"

"Number 1?"

"Yes. I really want to be number 1."

Yoon Seah was aiming even further, looking towards world rank 1.

'...She's been full of ambition lately.'

Was there so issue with the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams?

Seeing Yoon Seah running like crazy after briefly covering herself with a blanket in her room, he couldn't help but think that.

Still.

"If you develop your Late Bloor gift, it should be plenty possible."

Seeing how Yoon Seah in reality firmly held onto rank 1.

'Late Bloor' was truly the best growth gift as ti passed.

When Seong Jihan gave that definitive answer.

"Ah. Late Bloor... I'll need to clearly fulfill the conditions."

Yoon Seah said she would pay more attention to the Late Bloor gift.

It seed that since leveling up through the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams had been a big factor so far.

She had been relatively less focused on 'Late Bloor'.

"Ah. To raise the rank..."

As she was newly focusing on and researching Late Bloor.

Knock knock.

There was a knock at the main door of the VIP room where they were staying.

When Seong Jihan opened the door.

"Martial God. We're ready."

Lee Hayeon was waiting outside with Lim Gayeong.

"That was fast."

As Seong Jihan said this, he looked at Lim Gayeong behind Lee Hayeon.

"I'm Lim Gayeong."

She gave a slight bow towards him.

"Is she your companion?"

"Yes. Of course, I fully trust you, Martial God, but this friend insisted on coming along..."

"Is that so?"

Seong Jihan chuckled at that and gave them a warning.

"I'll keep the portal open for about 10 minutes. If you find yourself alone, quickly enter it."

"The portal...?"

w

"Yes. One of you might briefly leave."

As Seong Jihan said this, he stretched out his hand.

Zzzzing...!

A large blue portal imdiately ford in the air.

"Let's go then."

Swoosh.

As Seong Jihan took the first step.

"Yes."

Yoon Seah quickly followed behind him.

"Oh. Is Yoon Seah going too...?"

"It shouldn't be dangerous."

"I guess so."

Lee Hayeon, feeling more at ease seeing this.

Entered the portal together with Lim Gayeong.

Then.

Sssssss...

The purple mist-covered floor of the Abyss appeared.

"Ugh. It's so hazy..."

Lee Hayeon frowned at the sight.

It was definitely different being inside compared to watching on BattleTube.

Fortunately, thanks to whatever asure the Martial God had taken.

The ominous purple mist visibly couldn't enter within a certain area.

Still, perhaps because this was the Abyss, the most advanced form of dungeon portal.

"Miss. I'll go first."

"Okay."

Lim Gayeong, who was always behind Lee Hayeon, took the lead.

Then.

Flash...!

Beyond the mist.

Light burst from the wall of the Abyss.

"Huh... Taiji?"

Sssssss...

A Taiji symbol appeared.

'It seems kind of similar to when Sophia was sucked in...'

As Lee Hayeon recalled the BattleTube video that Christopher had livestread.

"Lee Hayeon. Enter the portal!"

She heard the Martial God, who had gone ahead, shouting urgently.

No.

Why was he telling them to escape right after entering?

At first, Lee Hayeon couldn't understand his words, but.

"Miss...! Quickly!"

When Lim Gayeong's body, who was ahead of her, was sucked into the Taiji.

Only then could she understand what Seong Jihan ant before entering.

"N-Nothing bad will happen, right?!"

"The person left alone is in more danger. Quickly enter!"

At Seong Jihan's shout, Lee Hayeon gritted her teeth and stepped into the portal.

As she entered.

Zzzzing...

The VIP room they had returned to.

And the portal that had been open in the room for 10 minutes.

Psssssh...

As soon as the ti Seong Jihan ntioned ended, it quickly disappeared.

"R-Right... It should be similar to Lady Sophia's case."

Lee Hayeon stared at the spot where the portal had vanished with trembling eyes.

Did she bring Lim Gayeong for nothing?

Sohow, it felt like she had been sacrificed to the Taiji in her place.

A sense of guilt was even arising.

'Why did I have to suggest going...! Gayeong. Please, be safe...'

anwhile.

'Where is this...?'

Lim Gayeong, who had been sucked into the Taiji, found herself in a space completely different from the underground Abyss.

'It looks like... an elevator.'

And an elevator that looked familiar from sowhere.

Lim Gayeong quickly realized it was exactly the sa as the elevator used in the Divergent Guild building.

No, why was she here after being sucked into the Taiji?

As she was bewildered.

Ding!

The elevator arrived at the first floor.

Should she get off?

As she was confused, not fully grasping the situation.

"Gayeong noona. What are you doing? Aren't you coming?"

"...Huh?"

To her right.

A young boy with a large candy in his mouth took her hand.

"Mom said she's making a sibling with Dad. She told us to go on a date."

"Mom...?"

"Yeah. But how are siblings made? Why do we have to leave the house?"

About 7-8 years old.

A child looking up at Lim Gayeong with innocent eyes.

Lim Gayeong looked at the boy's face and was filled with an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

This child.

Though she was seeing him for the first ti, sohow his appearance.

'He looks like Miss...?'

No.

Looking again, he also seed to resemble the Martial God a bit.

Lim Gayeong asked the child, just in case.

"What are your mom and dad's nas?"

"Wow... Noona, do you think I'm a baby?"

The child, sucking on his candy, looked at Lim Gayeong with an incredulous face.

"Mom is Lee Hayeon. Dad is Seong Jihan!"

He confird her suspicion.

"M-Miss is the mom? You... Where's your ho?"

"Ho? We just ca down from it."

As the child pointed upwards.

She continued to ask questions.

"What floor is your ho on?"

"Huh...? The top floor. Noona, you're weird today."

"I-I left sothing behind. Let's go back."

"But Mom said she's making a sibling... She said to co back late after dinner..."

"We need to go before that!"

The talk of making a sibling was obvious, wasn't it?

Lim Gayeong, feeling urgent, quickly pressed the button for the top floor.

The elevator started going up again.

"L-Let's go in."

"Noona could have just pressed it."

"Hurry!"

Beep.

After passing through a long entrance, in the living room.

Thump thump...

Lee Hayeon was floating in the air, wrapped tightly in a blanket.

"M-Miss...?"

"Honey! Stop joking around and untie quick... Oh, Gayeong!"

Seeing Lim Gayeong and the child enter.

Lee Hayeon spoke as if it was perfect timing.

"My husband has gone crazy!"
