I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 80

Caang!

The fist of Vargas, the monster of the A-rank gate, hit Jung-min’s shield.

With a huge shock transmitted from the shield, Jung-min was thrown backwards.

Another Vargas, who was in the place of the bounce, threw a spear at Jung-min, who was flying in.

“Keugh!”

Jung-min twisted his body to avoid Vargas’s spear, and at the same time swung the sword he was holding from bottom to top.

Jeongmin’s sword, blazing with blue flames, cut through Vargas from the groin to the top of his head.

Without even time to watch Vargas collapse, Jung-min twisted his body in a hurry again to avoid the fireball that flew towards him.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Breathing heavily, Jeongmin looked at the five remaining Vargas in front of him.

As his teammates, Vargas, were cut down by Jung-min’s sword in an instant, the rest of Vargas were also wary of Jeong-min and were unable to rush into it.

The battle, which had been lulled for a while, was restarted by Jung-min’s rush.

Using the skill ‘Leap’ obtained from the newly equipped item Leap Shoes, Jung-min stepped on the air and instantly moved in front of Vargas’ group.

Vargas, who was closest to him, flinched and stabbed Jeongmin with the spear he was holding.

Chaeeng

Jung-min swung his sword, deflected the spear, and stabbed the sword into Vargas’ empty chest.

“Keeck!”

Before he could hear Vargas’ screams, huge flames attacked Jeongmin and Vargas from all sides.

Jung-min, who disappeared from his seat, appeared next to Vargas, who was shooting fire with his mouth, and swung his sword to blow off Vargas’s head.

Then, when he swung the sword again using the ‘Sword Ki’ skill, three large sword spirits spread out in all directions from Jung-Min’s sword.

The remaining three Vargas each blocked the sword flying at them.

However, another Vargas fell without being able to block Jung-min’s attack that followed.

There are now two Vargas left.

The two Vargas, who were looking at each other, turned and started to run away.

Jung-min, who used space movement to the side of one of the Vargas who ran away in opposite directions, swung his sword to slash his waist, then raised his sword and aimed at the other Vargas, who had been far away.

Particles of light gathering at the tip of Jeong-min’s sword.

The particles that had gathered as if charged with light soon exploded forward with a loud roar, and the beam of light shot straight through Vargas’ back and pierced his chest.

‘Whoa…’

Jung-min, with a tired expression, dropped the sword he was holding.

Numerous corpses of Vargas were piled up around Jung-min.

Leah steps down next to Jung-min, who is proud of seeing the wreckage of Vargas.

Jeongmin looked at Leah and said.

“Most of the Vargas have been cleared. The end is in sight now.”

Hearing Jungmin’s words, Leah nodded and said.

“Yes, the gatekeeper will appear soon. Is your stamina low? Let’s take a break and challenge.”

As soon as Leia’s words were gone, light began to emanate from the A-level gate in the distance.

A sign that a gatekeeper is coming.

Jung-min, who saw that, nodded and said to Leah.

“Yes, I think it will be difficult right away because I am very tired. I need to take a break and try again.”

Leah nodded and took Jung-min’s hand, and Jung-min used teleportation.

Jung-Min and Leah’s hideout arrived by using spatial movement consecutively.

It was a place very similar to Leah’s living space in Elan, with a small tent and a campfire.

As soon as Jung-min and Leah arrived, a loud scream was heard from the direction the two had left.

-Quoo-

“Hmm.. I think the A-level gatekeeper this time is Bar Liyen. Judging from her cries, I think it’s Minota Lesia.”

“Minota Leciara… It must be quite tricky.”

Vargas’ superior compatibility, Gatekeeper Ba Lien.

Although he was somewhat familiar with Bar Lien because he had fought Vargas countless times, Minota Lesia, a huge, muscular gatekeeper with a goat’s head, was unfamiliar and quite a tricky opponent.

“Are you okay?”

“Of course. This time, I will make sure to succeed 1:1 with the Gatekeeper. This is the last gate before returning to the continent where the Jungrim branch is located. We must achieve our goal.”

It has been a month and a half since Jeongmin and Leah left the Jeongrim branch and moved to another continent.

The destruction of gates on other continents, which was expected to take up to two months, proceeded faster than expected, and now, after a month and a half, the last A-class gate was left.

One of Jung-min’s goals as he moved to another continent was to defeat the A-level gate keeper in a one-on-one match.

There have been three attempts, but all have failed, and now the last challenge at the last remaining gate.

Determined to succeed this time, Jung-min opened the status window.

[Jungmin Choi

Strength: 811 (+100)

Stamina: 825 (+60)

Agility: 799 (+100)

INT:457 [mp:252/886]

Jung-min’s stats had increased tremendously after monopolizing the high-level gate for a month and a half.

As many of the items that were usable as the increased stats were lost, Jung-min had changed the items he had.

As they spent their days fighting, the level of their skills increased significantly.

The gate skill, space movement skill, and most used sword skill each reached level 10, and additional effects were obtained.

In the case of the ‘Gate’ skill, one additional base can be designated, and one more person can be registered.

‘Space movement’ has increased the number of people who can move together at once.

And the ‘sword skill’.

At the same time as the shape of the sword blade grew, it was possible to fly an additional sword blade, and it was being used as Jung-min’s main combat skill.

The ‘Leap’ skill and the ‘Gwang-Ik’ skill that I additionally learned.

The leap skill, which allows you to move while stepping on the air, is more three-dimensional than the space movement skill, which had a limited field of view.

It was a skill that helped me move.

And Gwangik, a skill purchased at the store.

The identity of the beam of light that Jung-min shot with the tip of his sword when he finally caught Vargas was a skill called Gwang-Ik.

Since Jung-min wanted a powerful long-range skill, it was a skill that he purchased after much thought and with almost all the gold he had collected, and it was a skill that showed tremendous power as if it was worth it.

Jeongmin closed the status window with a proud face.

Seeing Jeongmin like that, Leah smiled and said.

“I guess you were looking at the status window.”

“Ah.. Yes. Looking at the greatly increased stats and skill levels, I feel proud that I have grown so much.”

“Now, if we go back to the continent where the Junglim branch is located and organize the gates there, Jeong-Min-ssi alone will be able to destroy a class A gate in a head-to-head confrontation. You might be able to destroy the class gate.”

“If you’re strong enough to attack the front by yourself and destroy an A-class gate… How well will it work in an S-class gate?”

Leah smiled embarrassed at Jung-min’s question.

“Hmm… The monsters of the S-class gate… are on a different level from the A-class gate. You should think that each one is more than an A-class gatekeeper.”

“Ah… that’s so powerful. A monster at an S-rank gate…”

Leah smiled bitterly at Jungmin’s words.

“Still, by the time the gates of ‘Chi’anan’ are all sorted out, Jung-Min’s skills must have grown tremendously. In addition, if you drive the S-level gates of ‘Chi’anan’ to Jung-Min, it will be enough to go to Kirsian. I think it will grow with the ability to do it.”

“Is that so?”

Leah nodded and smiled.

“So don’t fret too much, okay?”

Looking at Leah who was comforting herself, Jung-min also smiled and said.

“Yes, I won’t be impatient. Now that I’ve rested a lot, shall we move quickly?”

When Jung-min got up, Leah followed suit.

“Yes, I believe that I will probably be able to succeed this time. I will be in charge of the other monsters, so don’t worry and just focus on Minota Lesia. You know?”

Jeongmin nodded and held out his hand to Leah.

Leah held Jung-min’s hand, and the two disappeared on the spot.

On that day, Jung-min accomplished the feat of capturing the keeper of the A-level gate alone for the first time.

****

The daily life of the Jeonglim branch was very busy.

It was not easy for a small group to absorb a large group, so things happened several times a day.

In the meantime, people who remembered the days when he was the vice president of the Celestial Society helped him a lot, and the former general of the Celestial Society also helped him diligently, so he was somehow able to absorb the Celestial Society.

As soon as it stabilized to a certain extent, Hoiju immediately ordered [Trial of the Gods] to be measured.

After gathering the awakened people, measuring their combat power, classifying them, organizing the units, dispatching the organized units to the appropriate level of gates and starting to destroy them.

The D, C, and B class gates were destroyed smoothly, and I thought it would be a matter of time before all gates were destroyed.

However, the subjugation of the A-level gate puts the brakes on, and the Jeongrim branch.

Ji Ji-jun, who was said to be the most talented, died, and most of the other Awakeners with high skills had also left, so there were not enough high-level Awakeners to subdue the A-level gate.

Although they succeeded in destroying the A-class gate subjugation by collecting the awakeners of the next higher level, the damage was so great that they could not dare to challenge other A-class gates.

Jeongrim Branch Hoeju and Gwan Il-soo, who was the former general manager of the Thousand Peoples Association and is now the general manager of the Jeongrim Branch, were sitting facing each other on the top floor of the Hoijujeon Hall.

Gwan Il-soo said while watching the meeting.

“All of the B-class and lower gates are being subjugated smoothly. The problem is A-class. The damage from the recent subjugation was too great, so I can’t even think of the next subjugation.”

“For now, let’s not touch the A-class gate. Destroy the lower gates and the power will go up, so let’s use the raised power to attack the A-class gate.”

“Yes, I will.”

“And after a little more time, the two people who left for another continent will arrive. If they help, I think the high-level gate subjugation will go smoothly.”

“If it’s them… it’s possible. Enough…”

Gwan Il-soo, the commander-in-chief, speaks with gulping saliva.

He recalled Leah’s trustworthiness that he had seen at the Hoejujeon.

Despite the numerous Awakeners rushing in and attacking her, she did not suffer a single wound.

Leah leisurely dodged all attacks, slain the awakened people after receiving them, and even killed the frightened Hoeju, then hung herself and flew to the sub-hoejujeon.

What about Jung-Min, whom I saw when I arrived before the meeting?

Wasn’t he a talented person who single-handedly defeated Jiyeonjun, who was the strongest Awakener of the Cheoninhoe?

Recalling the two who showed strength beyond imagination, the commander-in-chief trembled once.

At that time, one of the Awoken who was standing guard outside delivered a message inside.

Houju burst out laughing and said.

“Heh heh, we were already talking about the two of you. It’s amazing that you’re arriving so quickly. Stand up, General. Can we sit down and greet the two benefactors of the Jungrim Branch?”

Hoeju and Chonggwan stood up and greeted the two people entering Hoejujeon.
