44 – Someone Attacked My Body.

From Noble mtl dot com

Listening to the clamor and shouting, it seemed like the prepared stage was coming to an end.

‘Can I go in now?’

Thinking so, I walked back to where I had come from.

Totojen, watching Lian exit in a state of not just injury but also breathlessness, grumbled in dissatisfaction.

“Darn it, how can that be possible?”

In his hand, there was a golden telescope suitable for use by nobles. Beyond the telescope, the figure of Lian leaving with a calm expression was vividly visible.

“A guy with that much power… How can he have such innocent eyes?”

This was the area where the most sordid desires gathered. It was a place where those who would commit heinous acts without hesitation to obtain great power were widespread.

Having dealt with those driven mad by power, Totojen knew how dangerous ‘great power’ could be.

Even if the power squeezed out had no cost, as long as that power had a certain level of impact, humans quickly succumbed to madness.

Lian casually shattered that obvious rule. With eyes clearer than anyone else, he toyed with immense power like a plaything.

His appearance was eerie and it irritated Totojen.

“This wasn’t what I expected!”

Totojen, who fainted at the sight of Lian’s internal organs, couldn’t admit that he was scared and defeated by Lian.

He convinced himself that everything he had seen was a hallucination, stood up from his seat, and fell over, thinking he fainted. But his anger didn’t subside.

At that, Totojen opened his wallet.

The dozens of monsters prepared were all because of this background.

‘How can I bring that guy down?’

Totojin anxiously bit his nails, vigorously rolling his unruly thoughts in his head. A suitable answer didn’t come to him.

Normally, he would have summoned a slave to intimidate with his face or directly punished them with his own hands, but instinctively, he was avoiding meeting Lian.

He dismissed everything that happened with the chess game as mere dreams, but deep down, he couldn’t shake off the instinctive fear and avoidance.

Unable to call Lian and torment him directly, the only option left in a situation where he couldn’t torment him was to buy monsters and use them to torment.

‘Yes, if dozens are not enough, make it hundreds or thousands to fight!’

Totojin raised his voice, summoning his secretary.

“I need more monsters.”

Upon hearing his words, the secretary quickly left the room to call for the monsters.

Effortlessly finishing the match, I was on my way to my room where Iris was waiting. The elevator stopped, and as I descended the clean corridor, someone attacked me.

“Whoa!”

My body tilted backward, buttocks crushed as I fell.

“B-Bianca?”

“Hehe.”

She hugged me with a face that seemed delighted. I couldn’t hide my surprise as I spoke.

“W-What’s going on?”

Being embraced by an adult woman for the first time, my body stiffened. I awkwardly extended my hands, expressing my discomfort.

“I saw!”

“What?”

“I watched the match! Seriously, you’re so strong!”

She rambled on, saying she had seen Iris’s matches before but that this was the first time she had seen me play. She praised me continuously, expressing her admiration.

“Thank you.”

Even if everything was thanks to the power of the Dark Sword, compliments were always sweet. Bianca, with a mischievous smile, said as I thanked her with a flushed cheek.

“Iris didn’t like it, but… how about you?”

“What?”

“Going to the top floor.”

“Oh.”

Following Bianca would easily lead me to the top floor, but in return, I would have to be separated from Iris. Above all, what worried me the most was the fact that my abilities were solely reliant on the power of the Dark Sword.

Bianca had mentioned that she needed a disciple with remarkable talent, not someone who could sweep away competitions with item hacks.

“I apologize.”

The response that finally came out was a rejection. As Iris and I both declined the proposal, Bianca’s expression twisted. It seemed like her pride was wounded.

“Really…? Can you tell me why you dislike the idea?”

“It’s probably because my little sister worries about me.”

Bianca responded with a smile.

“If that’s the case, don’t worry! You both can become my disciples!”

“But before, you said…”

“Well, saying this might hurt, but… It was a bit difficult for me to take responsibility for even someone with no skill as my disciple. However, now the situation is different!”

Bianca spoke with a face full of memories.

“You’ve proven that you have enough skill! So, don’t worry, let’s go to the top floor together with your sister!”

Upon hearing that, I briefly closed my mouth and fell into contemplation.

‘Even if I go to the top floor, my lack of skill will be exposed quickly. I won’t be able to wield the cursed sword during training. But… is it right to give up the opportunity for Iris to be safe just because I’m not skilled enough?’

While I hesitated, Bianca spoke in a light voice.

“If you’re unsure, at least go up for a short visit. Maybe seeing it firsthand will help you make up your mind.”

“Oh, I’ve already been to the top floor.”

“You probably just glanced around, right? You need to examine it carefully for the answer to become clear. Let’s go up right now!”

“What? Well, I…”

Without listening to my response, Bianca suddenly stood up and grabbed my wrist, swiftly pulling me towards the elevator. In an instant, the strength of her pull took us to the elevator.

“Iris is waiting for me…!”

“Just take a quick look and come back down; don’t worry.”

Bianca confidently spread her hands, indicating that it would only take 10 minutes.

‘Well, if it’s just that…’

Unable to refuse the plea from the woman who could be considered the most powerful gladiator in the arena, the elevator slowly ascended to the top floor.

***

Snick.

Bianca stood near the elevator entrance, her lips curved in a frightening smile. Recalling the breathtaking battle scenes from today, she shivered slightly.

‘Ah… I never expected to find well-ripened fruit so close!’

Thinking of the moment when dozens of monsters were torn apart and devoured, her body shuddered.

‘With that power, I might be able to aim for the champion’s position!’

Champion, it’s a term that refers to the strongest among the top 10 in the highest level. Always treated as first place, the champion enjoyed something more than what Bianca was enjoying.

“If I could just sit in that position -… I might be able to enter Lady Gi-so’s subordinate!”

Not only would the slave status disappear, but there would also be a chance to become a subordinate of Jisoo, who received the favor of the Demon Lord.

Among those who became champions and entered under Jisoo, the most famous was Baekru. They said that if they did well, they could even take the place of Jisoo’s right-hand man.

“Haak, hah… Ahh! Lady Jisoo!”

Bianca unconsciously wiggled her buttocks while thinking of the presence of Jisoo, whom she loved. She quickly regained her senses and straightened her posture.

The elevator arrived with a clunk, and the two stepped onto a splendid carpet.

“Alright, that’s my room over there.”

Bianca guided Lian to her room. Her shadow rippled so subtly that it didn’t show her excitement for the prey that was about to happen.

Not long after, the two arrived in front of a magnificent door. Bianca naturally opened the door.

“The door won’t open if I’m not here.”

Bianca entered the room and talked about the security facilities that were not available on the floor where Lian was staying.

Thunk.

The heavy door closed, leaving only Bianca and Lian inside the room. Lian looked around the splendid room, different from the one she saw before.

“It’s different from the room I saw before, right?”

“Yes, it is.”

“In the top floor, you can decorate your house however you want.”

Not only the internal structure but also the furniture design and atmosphere can be changed as much as you want.

“If you come up to the top floor, you’ll live here with me. There are plenty of empty rooms here, so you won’t have any inconvenience.”

Bianca introduced the splendid interior to capture Lian’s heart. While they were exploring the room for quite some time, Lian scratched the back of her head and spoke.

“The house is really nice… but I think I should go back now.”

“What?”

“It’s been over 10 minutes, and Iris must be waiting desperately for me.”

Bianca pursed her lips in response to those words.

“Thank you for showing me around today. I should be going now.”

Just as Lian was about to turn around without hesitation and leave Bianca’s room, Bianca grabbed Lian’s wrist.
