Chapter 188

Tiring━♬

Let Jin Yu-ha put the ring on my finger.

At the same time, a clear bell rang in everyone’s head.

Then, a transparent blue window appeared before Kang Do-hee’s eyes.

《 【Jin Yuha】 is wearing the “Ring of Affection and Obsession”. 》

Wow─

Then, a foreign body sensation in the fingers.

A ring with a streamlined silver ring and a fancy pink glow was on my finger.

Kang Do-hee’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at the ring that suddenly appeared on his hand.

‘What. This ring…? Did Yellowy get it?’

Jin Yuha just shouted that he found it, so it must be true.

I don’t know why something like this happened to him after he got the item,

What worries me more than that is.

「Ring of affection and obsession」

It was the name of a meaningful item.

Usually, the name of an artifact reveals its identity and effect.

And it goes hand in hand with the concept of the dungeon where it was obtained.

Kang Do-hee, who had conquered various dungeons in the meantime, started analyzing them out of habit.

‘Obviously the theme of this dungeon is nightmare. Mental attack was the main trap… So, is it a brainwashing item? Affection and obsession, no way, being forced to obey Yellowy—!?’

For a moment, such an assumption came to mind, but soon Kang Do-hee shook his head.@@novelbin@@

Are you using these artifacts to force yourself and other party members to obey, manipulate, and manipulate them?

Is that Jin Yuha?

It can’t be.

Jin Yuha is not that kind of man.

He will never do anything that will harm other party members, including himself.

The belief in the man Jin Yu-ha is firmly rooted in her heart.

Suddenly, Kang Do-hee burst into laughter.

‘I found myself trusting that Yellowy bastard so well before I knew it.’

Because she was not good at trusting others and she was used to going through things alone rather than relying on them.

This feeling felt quite fresh.

‘Anyway, something appeared on my finger and a notification came in the status window… In the end, this is going to have some effect on me…’

It was when she opened her status window to check the changes.

《 Due to the effect of the item, depending on the affinity that 【Jin Yu-ha】 has for 【Kang Do-hee】, Do-hee Kang’s ability level increases. 》

‘······What, what!? Ho, likeability!?’

Kang Do-hee’s pupils caused an earthquake at the unexpected word.

‘Well, so. Depending on how much Yellowy likes me, his ability level increases…!?’

It was truly an unheard of effect that something like that was possible with an artifact.

Swish! Swish!

Her eyes moved quickly at a speed beyond recognition.

The purpose was to check how much the abilities displayed in the status window had increased.

And my mouth opened without my knowledge.

“······4%? Um, all my abilities!? Wait, is this high?”

It’s definitely high.

A 4% increase in all abilities can be considered a completely different person than before.

It is certain that there will be a stark difference in future performance.

Nevertheless, the reason she wondered whether this was a ‘high figure’ was no different.

Paan─

Kang Do-hee turns her gaze to look at the other party members.

They too must have finished checking and were making the same expression as Kang Do-hee.

The gaze was directed at each other’s fingers.

Lee Yu-ri, Lim Ga-eul, Sophia, Kang Do-hee, and even Ichika.

A pink gem was shining on each finger

‘······I’m wearing everything. Even this woman who hasn’t even become an official party member yet.’

So, this means that Jin Yu-ha’s ability level increase due to wearing items corresponds to all of Utopia.

If you just look at it from the perspective of increasing the party’s power, it couldn’t have been better than this.

There was no room for such naive thoughts to enter their minds right now.

Just.

‘······So, how much did it go up?’

I don’t want to tell you my rate of increase.

But I’m curious about other people’s growth rates.

I really, madly wanted to know.

Like when western gunmen were staring at each other.

There was a tense atmosphere among the party members.

When everyone was just shaking their heads.

“Oh.”

Suddenly, a weak voice came out from below.

“······Ability level has increased. 3%. Hmm, is this high?”

It was Ichika lying in the middle of them.

Fortunately, her rise rate was lower than 4%.

At least everyone in the Utopia party was higher than the woman who just came in today.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief without realizing it.

“Hmmmm. Abilities increase depending on likability… So, if your relationship with your benefactor gets better in the future, it might go up even further.”

Ichika threw the bomb in a calm voice.

From noble mtl dot com

“!”

* * *

Utopia’s hideout.

The large table was cluttered with all kinds of papers and empty coffee cups.

Square Square─

Shin Se-hee raised her coffee cup while organizing documents.

Whoop─

“Hmm, first of all, the reputation work has been completed to some extent… There is no particular move to raise a spoon for the request to exterminate American monsters… Well, we can get it smoothly. Rather than receiving it right away, after returning from this quest, take about a week to recharge…”

Shin Se-hee, who was thinking about her future schedule, suddenly leaned her head on the chair and said,

I cast my gaze towards the window.

“Whoa… Jin Yu-ha, you’re late… I think it’s time for you to come back…”

A red sunset was setting outside the window, and the sun was slowly setting.

An operator who assists Utopia behind the scenes of the party.

Shin Se-hee had a sense of pride and responsibility in her work

However, she was terribly bored waiting alone after throwing the utopian party in a dangerous place.

According to Jin Yu-ha, the day to return after conquering the dungeon is today.

Unless there is something special going on.

However, the problem is when an accident occurs.

Even though it is a utopia that is expected and spotlighted by the people of the world, it is not invincible.

I don’t even want to think about it,

Defeating dungeons and defeating monsters inevitably results in casualties or serious injuries.

Because things like that were bound to happen.

There are many strange monsters in the world, and many people with abilities. And not all of them are good people.

‘If someone was manipulating me… I will risk everything, dig down to its roots and destroy it.’

Shin Se-hee, who was so absorbed in her thoughts that she even turned her imaginary enemies into powder, muttered without realizing it.

“I guess I should have asked you to join me as a combat agent…”

If you tell Jin Yu-ha that you want to work as a fighter, he will be extremely embarrassed, but he will eventually listen.

Now, it’s no longer the hateful relationship we had at first, and we have trust in each other.

“······That can’t be possible. This is what I do best, and it is what Jin Yuha trusted me to do. I can’t disappoint you.”

Moreover, there is probably a person in a special position in Jin Yu-ha’s mind.

“Hmm, but I guess it’s just my greed to want that person to be a little worse than me, right?”

It was then.

Tiring─♬

Suddenly, the sound of a bell is heard in my head.

And a ring appears on her thin finger

“······Oh, what is this?”

* * *

Meanwhile,

Seokgeuk─ Seokkeuk─

“Ahhhhh!”

“aah!!!”

A terrible scream echoed from the dark basement.

“Do, run away!!! That crazy bitch came all the way here!!!”

A group of people were desperately running away, with tears, snot, and blood splattering from their limbs.

Ttogak─

A woman walked into the basement.

Short black hair and sunken black eyes.

A cold, stiff face.

It was Baek Seol-hee.

“All hands, swords.”

Let her give a short command.

Slurp rumble─

The black-clad people wearing animal masks and members of the demon assassination squad standing behind her drew their swords all at once.

“Chase and kill them all. Don’t let even a single rat escape from here.”

Taat─

At the same time, Baek Seol-hee jumped in front of her and pulled out her sword.

Tiring─♬

A sword swung lightly just to shake off the blood.

However, a sword energy suddenly erupted from there.

Lovely love~!!!

The sword energy that was fired went towards the pillar that supported the basement.

Suddenly.

One of the pillars supporting the underground was cut into a smooth cross section.

Kugugung─!!

“Wow!! Everything, leader!!!”

“Pillar! Pillar! The pillar collapses!! Hey!! If you don’t want to be a rat, get out quickly!!!”

Pabababat!!

Heo Eok

Heo Eok

Heo Eok

Members of the Majin Extermination Squad managed to evacuate from the collapsed basement to the ground.

They exhaled harshly.

“Leader······. Force control…”

Among them, a woman wearing a rabbit mask glared at Baek Seol-hee and spoke in a slow tone.

He also added that those wearing other animal masks were not to be outdone.

“Leader! Are you planning to kill us all!?”

“You said that last time too! If you miss a few like this, you’ll have to hit and run again!”

“Should we dig up all the dead people who were crushed to death…?”

However, Baek Seol-hee kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

A bell suddenly rang in my head.

And she just stared at the ring that appeared on her hand.

‘······My strength has increased. ‘Suddenly?’

What she was feeling now was more than shocked.

Now, she has reached an ability level that she thought could no longer be improved through training or elixirs.

An unbreakable wall of growth.

‘I vaguely thought I couldn’t get any stronger than this…’

That limit was broken without any warning today.

That’s also 4%.

‘Why on earth… ?’

Then, she found out why.

《 Depending on the affinity that 【Jin Yu-ha】 has for 【Baek Seol-hee】, Baek Seol-hee’s ability level increases. 》

Under. Oh my god.

It looks like his student has done something ridiculous somewhere again.

Grinning.

Baek Seol-hee, who unexpectedly received such a large gift, curled the corners of her mouth.

“Did the leader laugh!?”

“Crazy, who was the bitch who just cursed! Come out quickly and hit me in the head!”

The demon assassination squad members around her made a fuss at her smile.

‘Hmm, your ability level increases depending on your likeability. ‘There is a need to further strengthen the priest-priest relationship.’

Baek Seol-hee, who realized that her new path to growth had opened, thought of her own student and touched her lips.
