How to Survive as a Player Chapter 72

#72

This is good enough.

Only after the inventory was filled with food did Sehyun nod with satisfaction. My stomach must have been somewhat full, so I decided to sit somewhere quiet and keep an eye on what was going on.

Sehyeon’s eyes scanned the hall. I walked slowly along with my gaze. When I had taken just three steps, I heard a small sobbing sound from somewhere.

The place where my gaze shifted was to a narrow corner on the side of the terrace. The most corner of the banquet hall, obscured by curtains and hard to see. In a place surrounded by tall men, there was a short man trembling on his knees.

Beneath what the men were trampling on, the broken wings were crushed. White. It was a feather that was shaking as if it was screaming. In the meantime, a mean voice was heard breathing out the field.

“Don’t build this, ugh…” did.”

Absolutely!

Sehyeon’s eyes slowly closed and opened. As she looked around, she saw people making fun of her. Although she pretended not to be interested or frowned in contempt, her gaze was full of interest.

There were also looks that seemed familiar.

Wherever intelligent people gathered, hierarchies and statuses were bound to arise. As the world changed, people also changed along with it. People adapted too quickly and became snobs who knew how to take advantage of their position. Now, it seemed like he didn’t even feel guilty about crushing the weak. A world centered on the strong where the weak are ignored.

That was the current situation of Elix.

And the man whose wings were trampled was a Celestial Race like Sehyun. If the race had been the same as before, Sehyeon would have been no different.

I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Meanwhile, the men gathered in the corner turned around one by one, probably because they felt they were popular. The moment I saw Sehyeon, I burst out laughing. It was sarcastic.

“I guess you seemed pitiful because we were all of the same Celestial race.”

“You see a lot of Celestial Clan babies today? Three, no. “There are four, including the White Cloak Empire.”

“If you look at the number of people who came up trusting others, isn’t it really better to sell the Celestial Race?”

The number of Celestial People who attended the banquet could be counted on one hand at most. The highest ranked one is ‘White Clothed Empire Aihya’, which is currently ranked 9th in the empire rankings. Other than that, they were low-level empires.

There were at most two Celestials that Sehyeon saw when he came here. If you didn’t know, there were three, including Sehyun. Naturally, they had no choice but to be classified as Celestial Race.

“But you shouldn’t just walk around like this.”

“Don’t you have a harness? Look at the feathers I picked. “Looking at the stain, he looks like he has an owner.”

“Well, it has to be like this.”

“evil!”

The men giggled and crushed the wing they were stepping on. Blood was seen leaking from between the trampled wings. As blood soaked the carpet, two of them strode forward to Sehyun.

In an instant, a shadow appeared over my head. Sehyeon’s eyes were still focused on the Celestial Man.

“There are a lot of people watching, so why not leave it at that.”

The man who was pulling the Celestial Race’s hair suddenly turned his head and looked back at Sehyun. The gaze we met was fierce. The eyes filled with heat immediately turned into a smirk.

“I said I would discipline my ally’s cub, but what does that have to do with it? If you’re a Celestial, why don’t you differentiate between what you can wear and what you can’t? or not.”

There was a sound of my neck being twisted from side to side above my head. Behind the strange clattering sound came the sound of a screeching horse.

“You join in too.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the air changed. Sehyun took out an arrow from her inventory, grabbed it, and struck the back of her hand that was reaching out towards me fiercely. Blood splattered before his eyes and a shattering scream rang through the banquet hall.

It happened in an instant.

“Ahh!! evil!! “My hand!!”

The man, holding the back of his hand that had been pierced by an arrowhead, rolled on the floor and screamed repeatedly. Sehyun took out another arrow and faced the surprised gaze of his men.

“But it’s still better than your ears. is not it.”

The music and chattering voices that had been flowing through the venue had long since disappeared. All eyes focused on the terrace. They were cold stares. The gazes that did not contain the slightest warmth were reprimanding Sehyun with an inexplicable reproach. There were some who looked at me as if I was foolish.

“Gear! This bastard right now… “Hey, kill me right now!”

The blood-curdling voice of the man, who was lying on the floor and shivering, rang loudly throughout the hall. The red-hot eyes of the man glaring with blood on his forehead were glistening with murder.

At those words, the hall was in great commotion. What appeared through the chaos was a silver chain. The location is the 5th floor, where the Grand Dukes are observing. The chain stretched from the 5th floor was stretched taut and was shooting towards Se-hyeon’s back.

However, the chain suddenly exploded in the air along with fire.

Kwaaaa!!

The explosion continued until the chains melted away. Screams erupted here and there, and everyone ran away to a corner, covering their heads. Sehyeon could only naturally watch the explosion explode in the air.

[The two Grand Dukes recommend that the conflict cease immediately. Please do not disturb the sacred banquet.]

As the explosion subsided, a huge sound penetrated the air. It was the voice of the masked man who served as the guide. To be exact, he groped Sehyeon’s body. His eyes scanned the chairman and finally turned to Sehyeon.

Suddenly his eyes widened. On the other hand, Sehyeon’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

Surprisingly, after those words, the controversy quickly died down. Music began to spread in the hall, and people also shook off their tension and fell into the banquet again. It was a surprisingly quick change of attitude.

Sehyeon guessed that it was thanks to some skill the man possessed.

For example, the <Stability> skill.

Of course, there were some things that weren’t organized. Like the man with the back of his hand pierced, staring at Sehyun as he lay on the ground.

“On the subject of a lowly Celestial race… Hehehe, f*ck… ! Listen! Kill this bastard! “Kill me!!”

The man was evil, but this time even his archduke did not take his side. From the Archduke’s point of view, there would be no reason for him to take the risk to create a justification for being sent off. Even if that wasn’t the case, there’s a possibility that he recognized Ruhak and fell for it.

“It’s the same as trying to do bad things to each other, but please stop being evil. “It’s such a big deal that even the back of your hand is pierced.”

Sehyun twirled the arrow in her hand and said with an indifferent expression. That’s the back of your hand.

Most of these will be those who visited the Empire on Selection Day. This means that from the beginning, they were the ones who sat on the throne of the king and only tangled their fingers. At the very least, they would not have accumulated as much survival experience as Se-hyun, Lee Jae-young, and Baek Do-hyeon, who started from an unnamed village, and would not have even attempted difficult tasks, let alone reached the top.

An experience inside the tower where I overcame the fear of death. Times when we crossed the line of fire. The days of sharing joys and sorrows with everyone amidst all sorts of dangers.

While they were intoxicated with their hedonistic lifestyle, it was certain that Sehyun was at least experiencing prenatal hardship. Even if a large-scale struggle was taking place inside right now, Se-hyeon was confident that he would survive based on his survival experience alone.

“So, it would be better to do it in moderation when it comes to bullying the weak and showing off. “There’s no guarantee that there won’t be another guy like me.”

“That f*cking bastard… ! evil… my hand… .”

Sehyeon’s eyes turned to the sitting Celestial Man. Our eyes met. The eyes were all black. Her white skin was covered in bruises, and the corners of her mouth were all torn. He could barely hold on to his broken wing with his hand, but even his arm was covered in bruises.

The Celestial Man caught sight of him, but Sehyeon struggled to turn his back. It was enough to alert his men. If the relationship between the two is as allies as the man originally said, even if Sehyun helps, the rift between the two countries may deepen in the future, so it would be better for him to step down. For his man.

So I tried to back out. If it weren’t for the man he faced as soon as he turned around.

Wherever I turned, there was a man. As soon as I saw him, my first thought was deja vu. The man also seemed intently looking. The moment Sehyun saw his narrowed eyes as if measuring, she realized who he was.

The pupils suddenly tilted downward.

“you… Is it Do Se-hyeon? ?”

I’ve often thought that way. I thought maybe there would be someone here who knows. There was a time when a lot of people were enthusiastic and rushed at me, so I thought that way even more, and when I found out that there was coercion, I thought that we might run into each other somewhere.

The man had skin as cracked as dry dirt and blood-lined eyes. Sehyeon knew her ugly man very well.

He was the one who made Sehyun leave the house she lived in. As the only child of the family, she was the man who always took Sehyun’s place.

He was Park Seung-geon, Se-hyeon’s cousin.

“you… “It’s Do Se-hyeon, right?”

My mind was racing. It took her almost 6 years to leave that house. At that time, when he couldn’t be confident because he didn’t have anything, Se-hyeon was jealous of Park Seung-geon.

He always had many friends, and he always carried new things: new clothes, new shoes, and a new bag. Sehyun couldn’t do that, and couldn’t even use what he threw away.

Even though we lived in the same house, our circumstances were different. In a house where there was a hierarchy like Ellix does now, Sehyeon always lived at the bottom.

Still, Sehyun never gave up.
