F-Class Destiny Hunter

Chapter 133:

Chapter 133

A mere human standing up against a god was an unthinkable situation, especially a god like Lord Seifa. Lord Dragonblood greedily eyed Seo Gangrim, and then glanced at Lord Seifa.

"Lord Seifa, stop. This could end up getting them killed."

Upon Lord Dragonblood's words, Lord Seifa glanced at Seo Gangrim. Perhaps regaining composure, the tense atmosphere around them gradually settled.

Lord Dragonblood chuckled and turned her head. "I guess I should step back for now. See you next time, Seo Gangrim. If you ever want my divine blessing, feel free to call me. A dragon is better than a rat, after all."

"Do you want to die, Lord Dragonblood? Get out of here, or I'll show you what I'm made of."

As Lord Seifa emitted his aura, the air began to ripple again. Eventually, the dragon god reluctantly exited.

Watching the scene, Dokgo Jun commented with a sense of amusement, "Wow, Seo Gangrim. Seems like you're popular even among the gods."

"…quiet."

After Lord Dragonblood disappeared, the rat god sighed deeply and turned to the two. He was rubbing his forehead, appearing fatigued.

"Things have gone awry due to the unwelcome guest. Everyone, tidy up. And bring the first placer first."

Following his command, the rats quickly cleaned the room and guided Seo Gangrim.

Where they took him was a mystery. The Rat God, sitting slightly inclined in his place, spoke to Seo Gangrim. There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"I witnessed an awesome side of you just now. I am the owner of this place and the god of all rats, Lord Seifa."

Although he resembled a human, upon closer inspection, it was clear that he wasn't. Barefoot, his feet were unmistakably those of a rat, and the same went for his fingernails. Moreover, the energy emanating from him was extraordinary.

'Like Lord Dragonblood, gods are fundamentally on a different level.'

Seo Gangrim's whole body tingled, and he felt as if he was being choked, just like when he had faced Baek Young.

When he thought of Baek Young, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

'Comparing Baek Young to gods.'

No matter how godlike she is, she's still a human. But clearly, the power she displayed back then was comparable to that of a god.

While Seo Gangrim was in the middle of recalling Baek Young, Lord Seifa spoke.

"I called you to congratulate you on your performance in the Zodiac race. Thanks to you, my popularity has significantly increased."

Although Lord Seifa spoke with a stoic expression, there was a hint of an inexplicable sense of approval towards Seo Gangrim. After all, Lord Seifa's popularity had risen further due to the publicity from the Zodiac race.

With a somewhat arrogant tone, he continued, "So, I want to bestow a special reward upon you."

A special reward granted by a god. Seo Gangrim clenched his hands tightly. It was the reward he absolutely desired and needed.

Lord Seifa slowly continued, "In the name of the gods, I will answer your question. Speak up. I can tell you how to make a fortune or obtain precious weapons."

The ultimate reward of the Zodiac race was a conversation with a god. Providing answers to any question posed was the reward. Depending on the person, it could be a more valuable opportunity than any weapon or item.

Staring at Seo Gangrim, Lord Seifa said, "Other humans can only ask one question, but as the winner, you should have something special. So, you get three."

Beyond the bet, Seo Gangrim needed to secure first place to ask three questions. Finally, the opportunity had arrived.

Seo Gangrim spoke with parched lips, "I want to know the god who attempted to grant me divine blessing in my childhood."

The shadow of a god that persistently clung to his life. Seo Gangrim had never known who that god was. While divination might not reveal everything, knowing the god's name could be immensely helpful.

"Since childhood? Your situation must have been quite interesting."

Lord Seifa spoke and retrieved something from his embrace. It seemed to be something resembling beast fangs.

"Alright, let's see."

Lord Seifa scattered the fangs onto the table, accompanied by a sharp sound.

-Crack!

Lord Seifa looked down at the table in disbelief.

As soon as the fangs touched the table, they shattered into pieces. It was an unthinkable event after merely being scattered lightly.

"Fangs breaking, such a thing has never happened before..."

The item used for divination was imbued with divine power, and yet it ended up in such a state. It was astonishing. Lord Seifa spoke in a surprised tone.

"...I don't know who it is, but the god attempting to descend upon you seems exceptionally powerful. I can't even peer into it."

Lord Seifa, a god with considerable recognition, found himself unable to exert power in the presence of this mysterious god. He stared intently at Seo Gangrim sitting before him.

"You seem stronger than I expected. To think that such a powerful god desires you."

Seo Gangrim couldn't comprehend why this god targeted him. He was in a weak class, and there were countless vessels stronger than him. Yet, why did this god focus on him?

"May I proceed with the next question? Or is it impossible now that the fangs are broken?"

Given the item's destruction, it was uncertain if there were any questions left. Lord Seifa swept away the broken fangs with a bitter expression.

"There are still spares, so it's possible. However, if you ask a question related to that god, the same result might occur."

Now with only two questions left, Seo Gangrim had to choose carefully. The final question was reserved for a specific purpose, leaving only one option.

After deep contemplation, Seo Gangrim opened his mouth.

"I want to know why Baek Young is targeting me."

Throughout his pursuit of Baek Young, Seo Gangrim had a lingering concern. If Baek Young was the puppet of that god, it would make sense why it targeted him and sought to kill him.

The god intended to break Seo Gangrim's spirit, but Seo Gangrim couldn't fathom why the god tried to kill him.

Seo Gangrim harbored a different suspicion – the possibility that Baek Young was not the puppet of that god.

"You're looking for an enemy, that's easy."

Lord Seifa prepared to cast fangs once again. If Baek Young was the puppet of that god, the fangs would shatter once more. As Seo Gangrim concentrated, staring at the table:

-Thunk, tap...

The sound of fangs rolling on the table echoed. This time, they remained intact without breaking. Several fangs formed a sharp structure, shooting into the air.

Observing the unbroken fangs, it became evident that Baek Young and the god mentioned earlier were unrelated.

Meanwhile, Lord Seifa displayed a slightly surprised expression upon seeing the results.

"Your existence has the potential to greatly influence the fate of the world, that's why you became the target."

The unexpected answer widened Seo Gangrim's eyes. Because he had the potential to influence the fate of the world? Just knowing that that god and Baek Young were not related was a lot to think about, but the fate of the world?

"You are a powerful Awakened, but to discuss the fate of the world... What are you..."

Lord Seifa stared at Seo Gangrim with eyes filled with admiration, astonishment, and greed.

Lord Seifa already had a favorable impression of Seo Gangrim from the beginning, but now that he'd seen the results of the divination, he coveted him even more.

Lord Seifa gazed at Seo Gangrim and then spoke, "We should wrap this up. So, what's your last question?"

There was a lot to think about, but first, he had to ask the last question. Seo Gangrim had already prepared the question for a long time, so it came out naturally.

"I want to know how to get to the Seochon Flower Garden."

The request came out without hesitation. Lord Seifa, upon hearing this question, appeared considerably surprised.

"How does a mere human like you know about the Seochon Flower Garden?"

"I happened to find out. When I asked a certain god about a method to recover from injuries, they mentioned that the Seochon Flower Garden holds the answer."

It was impossible to repair a severed body part with ordinary abilities or items. Only a few special items could accomplish that.

"That item is in the Seochon Flower Garden, but they didn't reveal how to get there."

The Seochon Flower Garden was also located in the Divine Realm, so it could not be reached by normal means. The most reliable method was to seek divine assistance.

Lord Seifa nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"Right. Come to think of it, there have been many gods after you. It seems like they provided quite valuable information, intending to make you their manshin."

As if there was no need for another divination, Lord Seifa put the fangs back into his pocket. Then, he comfortably resumed his posture and spoke again.

"As for the Seochon Flower Garden, I can guide you to its location. Do you want to go there right away?"

"Yes."

"Then go ahead. The servants will guide you."

Seo Gangrim rose from his seat and bowed his head deeply once.

As he moved to leave, Lord Seifa casually asked, "Do you have any intention of becoming my manshin?"

"No."

"Surely you won't consider going to Lord Dragonblood?"

"No."

"…Alright, I understand."

Lord Seifa glanced at him once and didn't initiate further conversation. Inwardly, he was sad.

Seo Gangrim left the room and stood in the corridor for a moment.

'If Baek Young is unrelated to that god, then I have one more enemy.'

He had gained important information, but it also made his head spin. He couldn't help but think that it might have been better if Baek Young were the puppet of that god.

"If Baek Young is unrelated to that god, I have one more enemy."

'Who was Baek Young connected to? Considering that Baek Young didn't recognize him, it wasn't her independent decision.'

He felt a bit disappointed about having only three questions, but he decided to be satisfied with the faint clues about his enemy.

At that moment, a rat approached and spoke.

"I have received Lord Seifa's instructions. I will guide you to the Seochon Flower Garden. Would you like your companion to come along?"

"Companion?"

"Your companion, Dokgo Jun, who came with you."

"No, I'll go alone. Please guide me quickly."

It seemed prudent to think about the contents of the divination later on. The urgent matter at hand is to go to the Seochon Flower Garden.

Worried that he might encounter Dokgo Jun, Seo Gangrim hurried his steps. Seo Gangrim didn't want to share information about the Seochon Flower Garden. Fortunately, the rat didn't inquire further and guided him without more questions.

They arrived in a room with several crystal orbs.

"These crystal orbs will take you to the Seochon Flower Garden. When you return, just break this bead."

The rat extended a bead slightly smaller than the crystal orbs. He continued with a cautious explanation.

"The Seochon Flower Garden is located at the boundary between the divine realm and the demon realm. Powerful magical beasts often appear there. Are you still willing to go?"

"Yes."

No matter how perilous the place was, Seo Gangrim had to go there. Without hesitation, he placed his hand on the crystal orb, and with a burst of light, his figure disappeared.

—Goooo...!

The moment he opened his eyes to the air that touched his face, the scenery of a flower-filled field unfolded before him. It was like a beautiful landscape gathering all the flowers in the world.

—Kwakwang!

Amidst this breathtaking view, a scent of gunpowder wafted through the air. And overhead, shells were flying like fireworks.
