357-Gad's Secret





 I died under the spell of an adventurer who came to take the test for advancement to C-rank, and I died.

 I don't even know what that means.
 The guy was a D-ranked kid!

 And I'm the one who's supposed to be in charge...
 It can't be. This was some kind of mistake.

 That's why I was going to kill Hurt after I used my magic tools to restore his life.

 But that guy, as if he was anticipating this, was preparing the next magic.

 'Fire Lance' - Halt was indeed chanting that. With that magic, my body, which could withstand even the attribute dragon's breath, disappeared again.


 In a certain dungeon long ago, I obtained a spell called the Collar of Resuscitation.

 As long as I wear it, I won't die. I took advantage of this effect and became very strong by raising my level recklessly.

 Of course, I'm still wearing that magical tool.
 That's why I'm still alive.

 Even after receiving that ridiculously powerful magic, I was still able to come back to life.


 If a wise demon thinks it has killed me and tries to leave, or if I revive it the moment it tries to eat me, most of them are surprised and stop moving. By taking advantage of this opportunity, I've defeated monsters that are higher in rank than me. 

 The same is true for humans. When I was weak, I used my death as bait to kill those who made fun of me.

 When I'm sure I've killed someone, I let my guard down.
 Whether it's a human or a demon.

 And now Hurt's getting ready for the next round, as if he knew I'd be revived.

 Why? Why aren't you careless?


 It's not the only thing I don't understand.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.

 I'm sure there are people who can do it without chanting. Still, it's impossible to activate another magic while chanting a magic. The magic she used is definitely not a fire lance (the lowest level of fire magic)!


 And now. I was about to die for the third time.

 As I watched the huge pillar of flame fly by, I remembered some information. The other day, Keel, who is the second-in-command of my unit, had given me this information.

 It's the brother of that Cain.

 He (Cain) is a monster.
 I have fought several times under the king's orders, but I have never won.

 He didn't kill me because the King stopped him. But he was a former colleague of mine, so I guess he couldn't kill me.

 But if it were real, I think I could use my magic to get past Cain and kill him. I think he's a monster, but he's only a dead man if you kill him.

 Well, I'm sure he's a monster. 
 I died three times before I realized that my brother was, too.


 Now, for the third time.

 Somehow they weren't surprised to see me back from the dead.

 Do they know that you can resurrect?

 In case you're wondering.

 Kiel didn't come home last night. He said he was going to scout out Hurt's mansion for something that was bothering him, and then he left. And today, he never came back.

 I recognized Keel's abilities as an agent. The information he got was always accurate and not normally available. And he never leaves any evidence of infiltration. A guy like that didn't come back.

 Don't tell me Hurt got to you?

 I know it's not possible....
 It's just Kiel. The only one who knows I can resurrect as many times as I want.

 So when Hurt and the others aren't surprised by my resurrection, it's safe to assume that Kiel is trapped.

 That guy is an excellent interloper, but he's the kind of guy who would return his palm as soon as his own life was in danger. At least, that's what he was when I made him my man.


 The revival is complete.
 And Hurt's magic flying in.

 As expected, if it's the fourth time, I can manage to avoid it.

 Well, not completely.
 But now we can end it.

 I'm not going to be able to get away with it because it's boring.
 Enough is enough.


 I surrendered to Hurt, feeling my life running out.

 This is a game.
 If I admit defeat, there's nothing I can do, even if I'm a monster (Hurt).

 That's the rules of the game.


 At any rate, I spit out a line that fooled me about the resurrection.

 Was it plain?
 Well.... It doesn't matter.


 Well, let's move on.

 Let's let her friends avenge my wrath attributed to Hurt!
