KING OF NO KILLING
Purple Hyacinth | Chapter 82

[ The constellation 'Ruler of Lithurgia' is nodding their head at the constellation 'Black Prince' in acknowledgement]

[ The constellation 'Celestia' is sneering at the constellation 'Black Prince' ]

[ The constellation 'Tirek' is scoffing at the constellation 'Black Prince' ]

[ The constellation 'Princess of Self-Ruin' has pulled out a ring, asking for the constellation 'Black Prince's hand in marriage ]

[ The constellation 'Spirit of Chaos's expression hardened ]

(Y/n) furrowed her eyebrows, she woul've been more engaged in the drama regarding the constellations if she wasn't struggling to find footholds.

The prophets, who had called each other’s numbers in a friendly manner, now wielded their weapons against each other to fight over the footholds with the number ‘1.’ Some prophets collapsed bleeding as they approached a foothold.

(Y/n) summoned her sword, Yil, "If there really isn't a way to get one but to kill then so be it."

[ The constellation 'Black Prince' has confirmed your identity]

[ The constellation 'Black Prince' claimed that he has been searching for you ]

[ The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is clenching their fist ]

(Y/n) wiped the sweat forming in her forehead after successfully stepping on a foothold, then wiping the blood that coated her cheek, bodies of various apostles were laying lifeless below her feet.

It was a chilling sight.

Her breathing was ragged, maintaining her alertness and anxiously glancing around.

[The positions of the footholds will be created!]

[The 5th grade fire dragon species, ‘Lesser Dragon Igneel’ is preparing the ‘Flames of Destruction’.]

"Fuck."

She moved quickly, fortunately she didn't have to fight for a foothold this time around. The one that she landed upon was close to where Kim Dokja and an apostle was standing.

Kim Dokja glanced her way before speaking to the apostle, “Who is your king? Where did they get off?”

“Hmm… the king dislikes being called someone who ‘got off.'"

“So what do you call them?”

“Even if you are Yoo Jonghyuk-nim, please refrain from speaking about him like that. He is the only one among the prophets who has read all the revelations. He knows both Yoo Jonghyuk’s past and future.”

Laughter emerged. It was a ridiculing laugh. It was because there absolutely couldn’t be such a thing.

Kuooooh!

Finally, the third attack of the fire dragon was about to begin. He looked at the apostle and quietly stepped out of the foothold.

The bewildered apostle asked as he walked forward. “Yoo Jonghyuk-nim? What are you doing?”

"Do— Jonghyuk!" Kim Dokja turned to (Y/n) who called.

"What the hell are you doing?"

He waved his hands like he wasn't about to do what he's doing and smiled at her cheekily.

Kim Dokja walked in the direction of the lesser dragon. It was with slow but sure steps. The fire dragon stared ferociously at me as it prepared the Flames of Destruction.

"This bi—"

“What are you doing?! Come back!” The apostle behind Kim Dokja hastily exclaimed.

“Did the king tell you about this future?” As he listened to him, he kept thinking.

'These guys shouldn’t be alive. But they had a ‘strategy’ and I couldn’t kill them all by myself. If so… ' he laughed and continued talking.

“You guys, have you forgotten what my stigma is?”

“I’m not afraid of death. I can just start over again."

"This fool..." (Y/n) whispered to herself. She then chuckled and gritted her teeth in annoyance.

His impersonation of Yoo Jonghyuk has gone too far.

He isn't him.

That isn't his stigma.

He could fucking die.

“I wonder. What will the effect be on you? You are unusual presences in this turn.”

“If I die here, will you exist in the next turn? Or will you end with this world?”

“If you really read the revelations, you should know the answer right?”

The apostles’ faces paled. There were times when it was easier to handle those who used their heads.

“Yoo Jonghyuk!” The five apostles moved from the footholds and started to run towards him. He knew it. No matter how unconcerned they pretended to be, they were people who ‘got off’ and were caught up in this scenario.

What would happen to them in a world where the protagonist was dead? They didn’t know.

"Catch him quickly!"

Kim Dokja glanced at (Y/n) once again, for some reason it felt reassuring. Like he was telling her that it's fine without actually telling her.

She sighed, nodding her head at him.

Vines wrapped around the apostles' bodies, keeping them in place, they wouldn't be able to move... when the dragon striked they're all dead.

[ The 5th grade fire dragon species, ‘Lesser Dragon Igneel’ is using the ‘Flames of Destruction’.]

The moment that flames burst out from the centre of the platform, Kim Dokja exploded all the strength in his muscles and ran towards the legs of the dragon.

Then he put the flag into the flag holder of Anguk Station located there.

He has occupied Anguk Station, occupying ten stations in total. The King's road has been achieved.

[Depending on the path you walk, you will receive a new ‘king’ attribute]

| 1 | King of Arrogance and Hypocrisy

| 2 | King of Solitude and Taste

| 3 | King of No Killing

| • | . . .

He replied without reading the rising options.

“King of No Killing.”

[The new attribute, King of No Killing has been obtained!]

This was enough. Kim Dokja hadn’t wanted to do this but it was necessary to get rid of the people here.

The apostles discovered the flames and tried to free themselves from (Y/n)'s vines but to no avail, whenever they were cut off, another one would grow back.

“You should’ve been careful. You only have one life.” The wave of flames covered them. It was an attack that couldn’t be endured even if they ate the ice pill.

[The durability of the External Enhanced Suit has decreased dramatically.]

[The durability of the External Enhanced Suit has run out.]

His vision soon became dim. There was the feeling of flesh being burnt and he lost consciousness.

[You have died.]

.

.

A moment later, a system message was heard.

[The privilege of the King of No Killing is activated.]
