- Pshoo!
A chilling pain is felt in the abdomen. Crimson blood flutters before my eyes, and the blade that rose from my abdomen is revealed in my vision.
"Kuhuk!"
- Poom!
Immediately, my whole body is caught in an explosion from somewhere, and I receive the impact, flying dozens of meters and slamming my head into the half-destroyed asphalt floor.
"Ugh..."
I barely manage to get up with my ruined body, and the surrounding scenery comes into view.
A city where buildings have collapsed here and there and become a pile of ash because of the 72nd floor boss battle.
The dark, ashen, gray clouds clear, and brilliant sunlight descends.
In it, my comrades approach, bathed in the brilliant sunlight.
The top rankers in each field, the guild masters of the seven major guilds of Korea, and their elite guild members emerge like heroes of justice, with the light behind them.
And
They declare to me, as if they are making a judgment of justice.
"Lee Dohyun!! We will give you eternal death!!!"
"Public Harmonic Magic Technique Development!!!"
[Mana Drain]
[Bind]
A giant magic circle is created on the floor, and my feet stick to the floor, and even the last remaining bit of mana I had left after almost exhausting it in the boss battle disappears. 'What the hell is going on....?'
It proceeds smoothly, as if it had been planned for a long time and rehearsed several times.
I can't believe it...
Since when did they conspire this?
Why the hell would they kill me?
It was only recently that I was united with pride as the world's best attack team....
Even while thinking, all the remaining mana in my body is sucked out, and it becomes empty.
Mana Drain is a trash skill that doesn't even get 10 percent efficiency, but if hundreds of top-tier rankers use it, its power far exceeds the power of an individual.
"His mana has been sealed. Everyone, attack!!"
"Kuhk....! Why!!!"
Ignoring my words, my comrades rush in, intending to kill me.
I don't know the reason, but I can't die so meaninglessly like this.
The hole in my abdomen recovers in an instant, and I stand against them.
The problem is that there's no way a proper fight can be established with them in a situation where there's no mana.
In the first place, I'm a magic swordsman type who fights by putting buffs on my body with mana. Moreover, I need subspace magic to call my weapon, but even that's impossible.
Still.
Even with bare hands.
I stand against them.
- Puh-ok!!
I avoid the right hook of the giant man who comes forward as the vanguard by tilting my head and upper body in the opposite direction, and immediately land a right-hand counter punch, knocking him down.
Meanwhile, an icicle flies and pierces a large hole in my thigh.
The strongest tanker, who I depended on, strikes me down with a large shield.
I tear through his shield with my fist and, reaching out my hand, strike his solar plexus and send him flying.
An arrow flies from somewhere and is embedded in my body, and all kinds of attribute magic flies in, setting my body on fire and destroying it.
The sword of the one called the Sword Saint aims at my neck.
At the same time my neck is half-cut, I grab his face with both hands and gouge out his eyeballs with my thumbs.
- Poo-gak!!
His eyeballs burst.
"Kuaaak!!! Crazy, you monster!!!"
Soon after, intense blue flames that appeared from under my feet engulf my whole body as if to devour it.
The hot flames penetrate through the open wounds, burning my intestines and brain.
"Kill him, kill him completely!!!"
"Are we done...?"
I meet my death without being able to make an excuse, let alone leaving a last word.
'No, this isn't the end.'
SSS-class trait [Blessing of the Immortal], which I obtained and strengthened to the maximum with the reward for the 50th-floor solo attack.
- Crrrk....
As the flames die out, the cut and burnt head reattaches to the body, and the wounds heal.
"He... revives!!!"
"Damn it, what a cheat trait!!"
"Don't panic. It's all planned."
They, as if they had expected this situation, cut off my neck again and set my body on fire.
As we clash multiple times, they also suffer considerable damage, but their numbers are too many.
'Ah... I thought they were comrades....'
It's my mistake that I genuinely thought they were comrades and told them everything.
The rate at which my body regenerates is faster than the rate at which it is destroyed.
"You fool. Fighting isn't just done with will."
The leader of the mage guild, Baek Dohyeon, who is standing haughtily at the back of the enemies, raises the corners of his mouth and sneers. 'That guy is the ringleader.....'
I suspected it from the time there was a difference in opinion with me, but I never expected he would incite everyone from behind like this.
Thorough planning and preparation.
Overwhelming difference in power.
Even the stupid and naive comrades couldn't have participated in this plan without some kind of method...
'I will never forgive you..... I will come back someday and get revenge!!!'
But unlike my wish, my consciousness is gradually fading.
'Ah.... No!!!'
"Do you think we attacked without a way to break that trait?"
- Puh-suk!!!
Someone holds a giant greatsword and completely shatters my body, which is reattaching.
But even so, the cells are slowly regenerating.
The scattered blood gathers in the air and forms blood vessels, and nerves, muscles, and bones attach in turn.
And those tissues gather and form arms, legs, and a head slowly.
"Damn it, it was right to kill this guy now."
"Crazy monster..."
"It doesn't make sense when I actually see it... Is this really the same person?"
They then, as planned, cut my regenerating body into pieces, freeze them, and put them in a special container.
"At this point, he won't be able to revive again."
'Ah... is this the end?'
The price of trust is betrayal without even knowing the reason.
As the body parts are divided into seven pieces and put into special containers, my vision blurs, and my consciousness is plunged into the deep darkness.
***
How much time has passed?
It feels like I'm left alone in a dark universe.
I can't see ahead.
No matter how much I run, this dark space that fills all sides doesn't change.
No matter how long I wait, this dark space doesn't change.
A space like the endless black universe.
But still, I run.
I struggle to grasp even a glimmer of hope.
Revenge.
The end of the tower.
There are still so many things I haven't done! I can't end it like this!!!
And then,
A small light is seen in the distance.
A small light that barely appears, as if it would disappear in an instant if I didn't concentrate.
It's there.
I have to catch it.
I run wildly, breaking through the dark space.
How long did I run?
A minute, or a year? I run endlessly in the black space where space-time repeats twisting and shrinking.
The small light gradually grows larger, emitting a pink light.
The light dust from the crack quickly passes by.
Looking closely, the place where the pink light is flowing out is a small hole that barely allows my hand to enter.
I can't pass through like this.
But I can't give up here.
I grab the hole with both hands and roughly widen it.
Chrrrk...
A touch like touching an unfamiliar wall.
Even though an unidentified, sticky liquid is flowing out, I push my head in and widen the space with my arms.
And finally, my body enters the sticky, pink hole, which is widened enough.
- Puh-ook!!
***
"Kuhuk!!!"
The first thing I felt as soon as my consciousness returned was the stuffy body and lack of breath.
Something like plastic is tightly wrapping my body.
"Kueeeep!!!"
Instinctively, I raise my arms to my head and tear the plastic wrapping my body.
One layer, two layers.....
I take off the layers of plastic.
'Kueeek, breath.....'
If it were before, I could have torn this kind of plastic with a single finger, but my current body doesn't seem to be in good condition.
- Jjijijik... tear!!
And when it became hard to hold my breath.
"Pah-ha!!!"
Finally, I tear off all the plastic and come out into the bright world.
I open my eyes, taking a deep breath of the sweet oxygen I haven't felt for a long time.
A clear, clean blue sky.
The dazzling sunlight that shines on the world shines down from the sky.
"Haha!! I'm back... huh?"
Uhm?
'But something's weird...?'
The fact that it's a trash heap all around, it's because a corpse was thrown away somewhere.
'Why is my voice so thin...?'
Could it be, could it be, I look down.
"Eek?"
There,
Two plump lumps of flesh were hanging temptingly, something I had never imagined.
'What's... why is this on my body?'
I wonder if something was attached wrong, so I grab them with both hands and touch them....
Mong-sil Mong-sil~
They are so plump and soft that they overflow even when I hold them in both hands, and my breasts sway in my hands.
"Heeh?"
Without my knowledge, my mouth opens, and a stupid exclamation comes out of my mouth.
"Could it be... Ah, dick, no... there's no dick?"
I quickly lower my hand to find my precious club, but again, it's not there.
'Ah...'
I died today.
