Episode 44 - Swindler (4)

I reflexively raised my head at Yoo Jonghyuk's decisive words. "...Is it okay?"

"The scenario we are facing right now isn't the Demon King Selection but the Martial Arts Competition."

I had been thinking this but once I heard Yoo Jonghyuk say it, I felt a strange sense of relief and pride. "You... have really become a person. At the very least, I won't die for the time being."

Yoo Jonghyuk ignored my words and continued, "The only thing that can be obtained from the competition is the Black Demon Sword. Getting the Black Demon Sword doesn't mean we can win the Demon King Selection."

Yoo Jonghyuk was right. Winning the Murim competition didn't mean we could win the Demon King Selection.
