“What man?”
“Lascivious man!”
Instead of being angry, I was so dumbfounded and speechless.
You had been an old man before!
I protested for myself secretly, because of the absurd feeling that she called me lascivious man.
“You said you knew who I was!”
Yes, I did.
I knew you were the doppelganger.
“I don’t know how you got to know, but indeed you know that I came in with my teacher’s appearance. If you didn’t know about that, you wouldn’t be looking at me like that all the time!”
Of course I had to keep looking at you like that.
Because you were the doppelganger.
“And I didn’t say it because I was so scared, but isn’t it too rude to use magic to casually look at someone up and down?”
Of course I had to use magic.
The only way to find the doppelganger was to use magic.
Things were getting fuzzy now.
The doppelganger had three forms.
The forms of doppelganger, old man, and young woman.
It was quite embarrassing that the doppelganger was using the appearance of a young woman in order to gain more support.
The other people’s eye expression became strange immediately.

I had to solve it as soon as possible.
But I couldn’t come up with an appropriate method.
“If you are not, then tell me the reason! Why did you take me to the corner and ask me to build a barrier to block other people’s sight?!”
Shouted the magician, with a sharp voice.
Okay, I determined.
Let me drag the monster out of her body, and kill it.
I had got the basic information, no matter about magic, or something else.
I wanted more information, but I didn’t have to put up with this irritating situation.
However, before I could even act, there was someone else who acted faster than me.
“Holy Strike!”
The paladin yelled and flew up. I avoided the divine power released by the paladin.
And I also avoided the paladin’s battle hammer that kept flying in incessantly.
“Ahhh!”
What’s this guy doing? Was he crazy?
I had been determined to attack the magician, but I had yet to act.
We had quarreled a lot, but we didn’t have to be enemies.
I tripped the paladin and snatched his hammer.
The paladin, who fell on the ground, was shocked.
Through his eyes, it seemed like he was looking at the direction behind my back and the magician.
I took a guess.
The paladin had told me once before that the real look of the magician was like his daughter who was dead, so he couldn’t attack her.
I had already paid attention to the doppelganger at that time, and I thought that the doppelganger had lost the memory of the paladin, and he was playing tricks, so I didn’t care about it.
Now, it seemed that the paladin’s trauma and the look of the doppelganger were some of the settings of the 16th floor.
If I hadn’t been able to drag the doppelganger using Soul Siphon before, I think the same situation would have arisen.
If I were an ordinary challenger, this sudden situation would put me in danger.
I had to tell Lee Hyung Jin later.
I stopped my thought and looked at the paladin.
The paladin who lost his battle hammer was rushing over naked.
Everyone else looked at him with a “why is he exaggerating so much?” expression.
Even the magician was staring at him vacantly.
I hit the head of the paladin who was trying to tackle me with the hammer in my hands.
With a bang sound, the paladin fell backwards.
He wouldn’t die.
Maybe.
By the way, hitting using the hammer felt better than I had thought.
What about integrating two-handed hammer into a big one?
Just like the character (in a movie or TV series) who liked to push goods with a shield.
While I was thinking, the second attacker appeared.
Original translation from wangmamaread.
It was the adventurer.
I kicked the chest of the adventurer, who was taking out his dagger.
Unfortunate short adventurer.
A shorty with dagger, his reach was hopeless short.
Meanwhile, my doubt became stronger.
Why did he jump out?
So I asked him.
“Why are you going crazy, too?”
Instead of answering my words, the adventurer, who was still clutching his chest and curling up, spewed something out from his mouth towards my face.
It was poison.
I quickly covered my face with the hammer and stepped back.
As soon as I stepped back, the adventurer took up his dagger and shortened the distance between us.
As a result, I could only swing the hammer sharply and hit the adventurer on one side of his head.
The adventurer’s head half deflated and he fell down.
There was no doubt he died this time.
Looking at the amount of blood scattered around, bones seen from the head wound, and what’s contained in it, there was no doubt he died.
Hmm… I totally fucked it up now.
I was just going to pressure him, but I got a little angry when he suddenly spat poison in front of my face like a Hydra.
I only used average strength but the accident occurred because I was not sophisticated in using the hammer.
I had no chance to know why he had attacked me now.
However, to think he had kept poison in his mouth.
I guessed that he had prepared it as soon as the paladin had started to fight with me.
I had no idea why he had done this, just to kill me.
Apart from the reason that didn’t come to my mind, the atmosphere went very badly.
Other people were all flustered by this sudden incident.
I wanted to keep the atmosphere as bright as possible.
Not only did I have something to learn from them, but I also had to concentrate as much as I could before going up to the 17th floor.
However, because of the incident, the atmosphere became more tense, and my plan got disrupted in many ways.
No matter how much I insisted that it had been self-defense, the atmosphere had changed.
They wouldn’t come to me and show kindness in any way.
And the important thing was.
“Khan, Khanjar, Khanjar!”
The mercenary ran over, calling the adventurer’s name.
They were good friends.
After examining the body of the adventurer, perhaps the mercenary would run at me.
Even if he wouldn’t, he would definitely be hostile to me.
While I was thinking and looking for a way to break through this situation, the mercenary who was rushing towards me suddenly stopped.
His eyes were filled with confusion.
Following his eyes, I looked back and I saw something was crawling out from the body of the adventurer.
To be precise, tiny tentacles kept growing out from his head, and those tentacles were struggling to come out through the holes on his head.
What’s more, something inside him was forming its own body.
“Doppelganger!”
Said the knight, who had been silent through the whole confusion.
“Those purple tentacles belong to the doppelganger! The doppelganger tore the adventure’s body and was wearing his appearance!”
