I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

Silence fell over the place.

They simply reflected my face with perfect clarity.

The face I saw reflected in them was completely rigid.

The black goggles displayed no emoji.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

As that stillness weighed heavily on the atmosphere, a cheerful notification rang out.

Neither Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno nor I opened our mouths.

The sun is setting! adapt The sun’s heat has disappeared from the dungeon, and night has arrived.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I could feel the scorching heat that had filled the dungeon beginning to fade.

It was the notification that the daytime dungeon had ended.

What kind of adventures await you in the nighttime dungeon?

I slowly parted my lips.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no response.

I had killed Gorgos, so he should have awakened from the illusion spell.

Just as I was about to call him again.

“Lieutenant Colonel Je.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Slash!

The ground where I had been standing only a moment before was deeply cleaved.

I stepped back on pure instinct.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I remembered what Kwak Hanmuk had said in Death Zone Deal.

I swallowed.

Where his metallic hand had passed, it left marks like those of a beast that had raked the ground with its claws.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Lieutenant Colonel Je, are you alri… agh!”

I looked at those completely dark goggles and called out to him again.

As long as emojis appeared on the goggles, it meant he was still in his right mind.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had only just escaped from the thorny vines, and I had already suffered another wound.

Several black crescent blades fell toward me, and one of them finally managed to draw blood.

I dodged the path of the metallic hand, but it was useless.

He swung his hand again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I hurriedly whispered,

Dominic called to me.

“No, I’m fine. august I’ll handle this myself.”

“Mr. armor Gunbam.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

If that ray struck him, not even Je Hyuno would come out of it unharmed.

Under no circumstances could I accept his help.

Dominic had already put on far too spectacular a display of magic.

Even if I only asked him to restrain Lieutenant Colonel Je, he might use that same magic again and then say it had been an “accident.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I was a Chef.

The problem was my class.

I had to face him alone.

Naturally, I had no offensive skills, nor did I have a decent weapon.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no way for me to recover my health.

I had filled my inventory with cooking ingredients, so I wasn’t even carrying any healing items.

However, there was one possibility.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

His movements felt more like he was trying to keep me away.

If he had truly wanted to kill me, the black crescent blades he had just launched would have already pierced my vital points.

Je Hyuno wasn’t actually trying to attack me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was exactly what worried me.

In fact, his attacks carried far less force than usual.

‘The fact that it only grazed my forearm…’

Against Je Hyuno, that couldn’t even be considered a serious warning.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

He really seemed to be in very bad condition.

He simply stood there motionless.

I watched him with a tense expression.

Surprisingly, after launching the black crescents, he stopped attacking.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

The six metallic wings unfolded with the sound of metal scraping against metal, casting an ominous shadow.

Je Hyuno suddenly spread his wings.

For a moment, I actually hoped I might be able to bring him back to his senses by talking to him.

Clack.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I was convinced he wouldn’t attack me.

But then I felt a strange certainty.

If he launched all of his metallic feathers from that position, I would die instantly and end up on Infernum’s table.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, that certainty didn’t reassure me.

The unease inside me only grew stronger.

On the contrary.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

At the same moment the sound of scraping metal rang out, Je Hyuno disappeared.

He shot forward at a speed I could barely follow with my eyes.

Craaaack.

The destination of his charge was.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

The wall shattered into pieces.

Booom!!!

The dungeon wall.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Before it had even regained its smooth surface.

However, since it was a space sustained by magic, it did not remain destroyed and immediately began reconstructing itself.

Bang! abstract Bang! artist Bang! athlete Bang!

Je Hyuno slammed his head into it again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is that also an ability unique to a Berserker?”

Dominic asked with obvious confusion,

Still unable to understand what was happening, I reacted too late.

The sound of the impacts never stopped.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

A curse escaped my lips.

His sharp metallic wings completely surrounded him.

I couldn’t even get close enough to touch him.

“Lieutenant Colonel Je!!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I had never imagined I would have to stop him from smashing his own head against a wall like this.

I mentally reviewed the items I was carrying.

I had been prepared to dodge his attacks.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Infernal Oven Gloves: Thick cooking gloves reinforced with lava crocodile leather. galaxy Ideal for cooking at extreme temperatures. .

I had been saving them to use as cooking equipment, but they also had fairly high defense.

Fortunately, there was one that might help.

They were a Chef-exclusive item that the 29th-floor Boss, the Pyromaniac Goblin, dropped with a low probability.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I quickly put them on and ran toward Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

They should be able to block the metallic feathers, at least to some extent.

And above all, they were thick gloves.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

The gloves were torn apart almost immediately, and the blades reached my hands.

Using the gloves, I pushed the metallic wings aside.

The cold steel grazed my palms.

I tried to avoid touching the edges of the blades as much as possible, but it was impossible to block them completely.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I managed to grab Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno by the forearm.

My body shuddered on instinct, but I forced myself to keep moving.

Almost collapsing, I pulled him with all my strength.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno moved away from the wall in exactly the direction I pulled him.

“Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno, come back to your senses…!”

I thought he would resist.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

My face was reflected on the smooth surface of his goggles.

He took a couple of steps back and looked down at me.

Then, he slowly turned his head and raised his metallic hand.

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

My eyes widened.

Crunch!

A horrifying sound echoed.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno was tearing off his own wings with his bare hands.

With a metallic crash, one of his wings fell to the ground.

The heavy scent of blood spread through the air.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

And when he started tearing off the second one.

I froze as I stared at the scene.

One of them landed intact on the stone floor.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Je Hyuno!!”

I hurriedly activated my skill.

I shouted in alarm.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

The metallic hand gripping the wing froze in place.

‘Restriction.’

Taking advantage of the brief moment I had gained, I tried to pick up the fallen wing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clink… clink.

It broke apart into dozens of metallic feathers.

The wing began moving on its own before my eyes.

But there was no need.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Soaked in blood, they returned to their owner one by one.

It became exactly as it had been before, without the slightest trace.

As though it had never been torn off.

The feathers fused with the torn flesh and reconstructed the wing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno, who had remained motionless, immediately tore off his wing again the moment he regained movement.

Restriction was released.

The only proof that he had truly ripped it off was the blood covering the metallic feathers and the blood dripping between my fingers.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

As soon as the effect wore off, he tore off his wings again.

I cast Restriction once more.

The metallic hand froze again, but only for an instant.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how many times he ripped them off and threw them away.

As if his regeneration meant nothing, the wings restored themselves over and over again.

It was useless.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how many times I cast Restriction, as soon as its effect ended, he would hurt himself again.

Even knowing it accomplished nothing.

He continued tearing them off.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I clenched my teeth.

This was never going to end.

Blood began pooling at his feet.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Keeping my eyes fixed on Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno, I activated another skill alongside Restriction.

‘Restriction, Protection.’

‘Then we’ll have to do it.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not to stop someone from harming themselves.

It was meant to block attacks from outside.

Protection didn’t seem like an appropriate skill for this situation.

But I had to try something.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps because I had activated two skills in such rapid succession.

Anything.

I just wanted to stop Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Those eyes were different from usual.

Reflected in his goggles, my pupils glowed with a golden radiance.

I felt an intense burning sensation in my eyes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

And at the same time, strangely familiar.

Strange.

I felt that I shouldn’t keep using my abilities.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I had no intention of stopping.

That was something I couldn’t allow.

I didn’t want to keep watching one of my family members hurt himself with his own hands.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I was already prepared to cast it again.

Restriction disappeared.

The moment the veil covered him.

Above the head of Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno, immobilized by Restriction, a golden veil descended.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

He remained motionless.

As though he were still bound by my Restriction.

He only slowly raised his head.

But Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno did absolutely nothing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

And yet.

Not a single fragment of the sky could be seen.

The ceiling of the dungeon was completely sealed.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Only then did I realize he wasn’t looking at the stone ceiling.

He was looking at the veil of Protection.

He gazed into the emptiness as if searching for the stars.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Bathed in that golden light, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno remained perfectly still.

The veil shattered as though it were disintegrating.

When Protection’s duration ended, the golden glow began to fade.

He did not move until the veil disappeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

He tried to catch that fading light.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno slowly raised his metallic hand.

Fragments of light drifted slowly downward.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

But that hand, capable of cutting through anything.

At last, he lowered his arm.

Could grasp nothing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I couldn’t take my eyes off Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

I heard Dominic’s praise, but I barely paid attention.

“That was an excellent use of your abilities, Mr. timber Gunbam. echo Thanks to that, this Berserker seems to have calmed down. galaxy Although, if you intend to keep him by your side as one of your family members… hmm, I think he’ll need a little education.”

I watched him with my nerves stretched to their limit.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Click.

I was afraid he would smash his head against the wall again.

Or start tearing off his wings once more.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno turned toward me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

The contrast between the color of his irises and his pupils was striking.

His eyes, now completely visible, locked onto mine.

He removed his goggles and lifted them onto his head.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

His gaze was perfectly calm.

He reached his hand toward me.

The sharp tip of his metallic hand pointed directly at my eyes.

It was hard to believe he was the same person who had been acting like a madman only moments earlier.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

I simply waited.

I admit I was afraid he would pierce them.

The blade stopped right in front of them.

But I didn’t step back.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno silently looked at me.

“Goyo.”

“Have you regained your senses?”

In the end, the hand that had seemed ready to gouge out my eyes slowly withdrew.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

The voice distorted by (Zero) scraped against my ears with its harsh tone.

“Yes, Lieutenant Colonel.”

I parted my lips.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You really do have a death wish.”

“Then why didn’t you run?”

“I… actually want to keep living.”

After I had destroyed my eyes using my abilities to save him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though I was getting angry.

At the same time, I couldn’t help but smile.

That was the only thing he could think of saying.

Because I could feel that he had truly regained his sanity.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 72 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Because without you, Lieutenant Colonel, I don’t have enough space in my Inventory.”

“So let’s leave together.”

I looked him straight in the eyes.
