How the Villain Lives

22. Over-estimation and under-estimation.

And the smoke got eaten properly.

"All right, let's call it a ghost."

"Can I call you Jack?"

"Call me whatever you want. By the way, I don't think it's a good time to talk about it here."

"Not only monsters, but people are slowly approaching. I think we should get out of here."

In Eli's words, Sung-hoon kept his face still and looked at Jack. What matters now is not those who are coming from that distance, but the enemy in front of us right now.

"Let's get you out of here. First of all, there's a safe place, so come with me."

Blame it!

As Jack lightly jumped over the building with just one leap, they both hesitated for a moment, and Sung-hoon jumped into the air with Eli in his arms. Seeing Jack leaping beyond the building as if his feathers were not affected by gravity, Sung-hoon coldly began to analyze his opponent's power.

The head was still confused, but quite calm, as opposed to the first time, and the increased eyesight caused by the mask was gathering information without missing a single little movement of Jack.

"I'm not learning a special remedy or a new one, I'm showing that kind of leap in physical ability. No matter how positive you are, you will show more than double or triple your skills and hidden power. Is such a stat possible? '

Pure stats that match Sung-hoon, who is using a reward to add bonus to his leap power. It was possible to speculate that he had an all-in-one or a near-field combat job, perhaps as forcefully as he did. As he thought so, Sung-hoon, who was following Jack's back, immediately lit up his eyes and began to increase his magic power to strengthen his agility and stamina.

"Oh, and I want to ask you a question. Perhaps..."

Jack, who was about to ask something as if he remembered something late, looked back and was forced to open his mouth.

In a position about 10 meters away from Jack, the ghost kicked the sign and started running in the opposite direction. Besides, I'm not just going. I wanted to think of a lot of magic around ghosts, but it flew nearby and caused an explosion.

Although there was no hostile doctor, even the nearest explosion fell to him in a position that was fragile and untouchable or subtle, there was no shortage of attention to distract him momentarily.

Only then did Jack know the situation and leaped towards them to chase after him. If he does his best, he will definitely catch up. However, as I flew toward the building, the landscape began to change with the message that came to my eyes.

[I've penetrated the anomaly that the Devil's wisdom lies in you.]

[Successfully resisted with high wisdom and magic resistance.]

"What?!"

A building that was a long way away is approaching in front of my nose. In this way, we will test the strength of the wall and face. As he was in a hurry, he swung his arm against the wall and twisted his body with his reaction, but that was his limit.

Kwaang!

Jack, who had fallen on the roof of the car, was dumbfounded for a moment with a blurry expression. It was even more shocking because I had never been subjected to such a thing before.

"Are you okay?"

A person wrapped around the body in a black fabric that seemed to absorb even the light, which appeared late next to Jack, said as he looked at Jack. Even the eyes, the only area outside, are covered with sunglasses. At first glance, I was mistaken for a black giant, not a human.

"Don't worry. I'm not that hurt."

Of course, there is no shock at all, but it's not enough to cause an anomaly right now. Jack's body with all abilities above 300 is like a bioweapon. There are some internal injuries and trauma, but this level heals naturally if you drink a cup of tea in real time.

"If we have more time than that, we'd better track down the fugitives. That's why I brought you here. You didn't forget your contract, did you? Huh?"

"… I didn't forget the contract. But now I want to move, but I can't move."

"Huh?"

The man pulls out the waistband wheel without saying anything and throws it into the air. The small cogs that emerged at the same time as they left their hands flew away, creating a rapid turnaround like an electric saw.

And the man who appeared in the orbit of the wheel, like he was weaving, rolled his shoulders off the ground.

"People are gathering to see if they just saw the explosion. I wouldn't stop you if you told me you were going after them no matter what, but I suggest you step back now."

"Sauchun! You son of a bitch, is that a full-on attack?"

"Yuck, kill him!"

Tu Woong!

Jack, who attacked the space and blew the wind with a simple fist, looked at the man as he woke up from a broken car.

"Why did you attack? We can have a conversation."

"I signed a contract to escort and assist you. The only information about this place is that people who don't know anything yet are all the higher-ranking runners in other cities. In my judgment, distance is the most efficient answer to unconditional attacks."

"You do?"

Jack spits in a man's face at nonsense. Despite such insulting treatment, he did not protest.

'Damn, I'm sure of one thing, but you're screwing me in such a small part.'

Abdul Hedges, who was called Saudi's best warrior and assassin, works as Jack's escort and subordinate under a seedling contract, but that was not a voluntary contract. Therefore, in the category of things that can be surrounded in their own way, I am not hesitating to fuck him.

However, no matter what, even if it was Jack acting my way, I just couldn't get out against Hedges. It's because he's so talented.

"What is now known is that after five hours, it is clear that more people will come to see the sound or explosion, so I recommend getting out of this position."

"Run away? Hmph, I'll wipe it all out before then."

"... They are all unscrupulous."

"I'll deal with the two wizards in the back. You can handle the other three, right? Don't be shy.You should use your grinding skills like this, right?"

With a gloomy expression, Jack stepped on the sign without Hedges giving him a chance to speak, breaking a window in the building. Looking at him for a moment, Hedges strikes his opponent with two consecutive wheels flying toward the air without saying a word.

"Kill him!"

"I have no grudge against you, but I have no choice here."

Cachon!

The two fast-flying wheels collide and fly at an unexpected angle, tying the warrior's footsteps together. Hedges, who quickly crippled the opponent by throwing a dagger at the exposed minor without missing the gap, broke the cervical bone with a knee that led naturally to the flow of water.

"If you don't resist, I'll let you feel the pain."

"Fortunately, you're not being chased."

"We're not the only ones here. By the way, that was amazing."

"What is it?"

"I cast a five-class hallucination spell, and it was released in less than two seconds. I don't even know my magical existence, but it was possible to get out of it so quickly that I had that high level of skill or wisdom stats. It's probably like Sung-hoon's brother."

"Like me?"

That doesn't make any sense.

Do you match yourself with an admirer who receives a bona fide bonus for wisdom and intelligence? If you're a superior wizard, you can't be more wise than yourself because of your physical abilities.

"You're probably acquiring a special skill. Let's get out of this place."

"But can I get out of it like this? But it's too sudden."

"What's wrong with that? Are you going to trust the person who appeared first in this situation that you didn't know before and that you can't recognize? This is the right choice. And…."

"And?"

"... No. Let's go into that apartment over there. I don't know when it's going to be long, so we need to find shelter."

When I saw Jack, Sung-hoon, who was thinking about talking about the unidentified feelings I felt, shut up. I thought it would be better to postpone my appreciation of him a little later.

'He's a very bad guy. If possible, I hope we don't see each other again on this mission.'

With the midterm review starting tomorrow... you know what?
