Regress and Eat

A black passenger car on the side of the road was pulled down by men with various weaponized artifacts. Kim's eyes became fierce after confirming that side.

He was immediately in position. When Kim's secretary blows Mana into the ring that he's been rubbing all day, the crude ring disappears and the sword and handle are made into one piece in his hand.

Kim's secretary growled as he wrapped his sword around Mana.

“People who eat swordfish live a long time before they notice it. You guys have already lost your edge on that. ”

The men's faces become even more dismal. Living out loud pierces the air more sharply.

There were ten of them. I wonder how they ended up in that car. I came out slowly and surrounded Kim's assistant.

Kim's secretary shot him again with a sarcastic tone.

“You didn't know who the target was, did you? I'd be freaking out if you guys knew. Do you know who we are? It's the Celestial Dragon Guild.”

Secretary Kim brings out Hunter's Disease. The mark of your guild that shines sharply on top of the photo.

I remembered the visible fluctuations in the faces of the men who confirmed it.

Like he said, they don't know who we are, and they're in charge.

Kim's secretary glanced at each of their weapons.

“On some level, I think you're the ones who can move around with just a few big stabs. Do you think you can sleep with a thousand dragons on your feet? Don't you get a quote? ”

The men gave and received each other's eyes.

I can clearly see the feeling of confusion. I was asked to do something I didn't even know about, but now that I know about it, it's hard to mess with. Even if you succeed in the mission, you will be badly outnumbered.

That was the status of the heavenly dragon guild in this age.

hesitation and agony pass over the faces.

Then, all of a sudden, the one who looks like a leader shouts evil.

“Damn, we're out of moves! I'm a Heavenly Dragon, and I'm gonna fuck it up, and then I'm gonna clean it up! ”

Kim said in a low voice, as if threatening.

“· · · You won't be able to fix it. ”

“Shut up!"

They eventually chose the opposite option from what Kim led them to.

I compared the boiling waves in the back of Kim's heart, the Mana Core in it, with each of the men.

I can assure you, they made the worst choice.

The men rushed to Kim's secretary in time without any sign of an attack.

Secretary Kim raises his sword. His weapon, unchecked and dull, has been resounding violent vibrations, amplifying it from the moment it was dressed in Mana.

He chews his tongue.

Heave!

The next movement was so fast that my body could not keep up with my motor vision before the awakening.

I couldn't even follow the trail. I thought I was out of sight, but then Kim's assistant stood in front of the man with the axe.

The moment the hard expression of the man's eyes turned into horror. Kim wields his sword.

Flash!

A blue line that cuts through space.

At the same time, you hear the air rip, and the axe falls to the ground holding in your hand.

“Ahhhh!”

The man howls with his arms cut off. The screaming stops with a terrifying crackling sound.

Puak!

The body that loses its head falls. Kim's secretary draws blood from the blade and throws himself at the next opponent without even looking.

The sound of the day cutting into the wind continued several times. Screams, the sound of flesh being cut off, and the sound of bone breaking follow, as if accompanied by a accompaniment. Blood splattered all over the place and his limbs were cut off. With cruel music, Kim's secretary flies like a dancer on a nasty stage.

As expected, Seo Kyu-chul, who was really good at seeing Seo Jin-wook as a tool or whatever he saw, had a terrible expectation of him.

“Sa, save me · · · ahhhh! ”

If one man wants to fall, the other man groans with his stomach torn open. All around the cracked body, men fall in a hailstorm of blood.

Get it, get it!

It was also rare for weapons and weapons to ring multiple times. If you want to see how many crosses between Kim's sword and their blade, the opposing team is already down. Even the right counterattack doesn't seem like much.

“Damn it! Hang on! Hang on!”

The survivors barely regain consciousness, wielding their weapons at the same time. I run around blocking everything. While Kim's secretary fights two people at the same time, another man rises up with his sword.

But in the next moment,

Lardass!

I couldn't even see Kim's secretary reacting too quickly. I just watched three people pour out their blood at the same time.

Kim's assistant slaughters the opposing Pokémon without using a single skill.

Later.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

As the rest of the crew were dying, the leader who was falling behind turned his gaze towards me standing at the side of the vehicle.

His eyes flash with despair and malice. At this rate, I was convinced it would be extinction.

He double-checks his assistant, who is dealing with his colleagues, and suddenly turns and starts rushing towards me.

I feel confident that I was given information in advance, whether I was judging by the situation, or whether I was given that much information.

The purpose in that situation is obvious. He's trying to take you hostage.

Kim's assistant didn't miss the move. I turn as if I were trying to stop him from turning to me.

However, I wasn't waiting for the one who was running defenselessly.

Weeing!

Move a small amount of Mana that has been activated to brand the bracelet.

There is a lot of potential Mana, but the amount available right now is not enough to implement a skill down. A horse that can be picked up by a mile of sand on the beach is a parable.

But even a single grain of sand can kill a person depending on how you control it.

Face the one who's running. The user is cautious against Awakened Pokémon and does not use any basic Defense Skills.

I have a very small, needle hole in my finger.

And then...

Tuck.

I flicked my finger.

Phishing!

Hunters rush towards me. You stop walking, your pupils loosened, your knees loosened, and you fall in the opposite direction before you even understand the situation.

Kim's eyes widen when he saw it. However, you immediately regained your focus and turned your head to continue the merciless slaughter of your enemies.

After a while, there was only Kim and me, standing in the clearing next to the road.

“Are you all right?”

Approach and check my status. I looked at his well-ironed suit and saw a drop of blood not splattered. Again, it's not a normal bet.

A lot of Mana piled up on your core doesn't necessarily make you a strong hunter. There is a sense of combat and talent. Kim's secretary showed great skill in that area.

“I'm fine, thanks to Secretary Kim. ”

“I was glad I didn't have any opponents. ”

They rushed in without any information about the target, and given Kim's skills, they didn't have enough power. The person who commissioned this must have worked in a hurry. If I had enough time, I would have gone through the right killers.

They don't have a gun ready as they come to face the Awakened One, as if they were preventing them from floating.

As an Awakened Hunter, a lesser hunter with a total of skills is much scarier than a lesser hunter with skills. It's an era where Hunters use tracking magic at every step to prevent the worst possible scenario outside the dungeon with guns, but it's never too much to ask for.

Kim turned right away to see the condition of the man who rushed towards me, making sure I was okay. I'll go with you.

The man who fell backwards was facing the air with his face missing.

Did you hit the cerebral artery or did you just die?

“Hmm.”

Secretary Kim makes strange noises.

Actually, I was convinced the man was dead. It's because he saw the Mana Core flashing and disappearing as he bounced.

Unlike monsters in the dungeon, the core of the heart disappears at the moment of their death. It's like someone's harvesting.

“Is this for real? ”

Kim wipes out a lump of blood from his forehead. Then, there was a very small traces of penetration, literally the size of a needle hole, in the middle of the forehead.

Kim's assistant opened her eyes wide.

I look at the holes in his forehead and my face alternately.

“Huh · · · How? No, what · · · ·? ”

She lost her horse for a moment, then gasped like that · · · suddenly asked me out loud.

“Boss, you're awake!? What happened? In what way?"

I shake my head.

“You didn't wake up? ”

He points fingers at the body. Screaming.

“But what is this! ”

I don't seem to mind.

“You said I used to lose control when I was angry and mess with my mind. I think it's similar now. Mana shot him in the hand. ”

“Oh · · · No, the latent Mana rush is not controlled that way? ”

You have to be bold when this happens.

“I heard that life is at stake. ”

“Hnng · · ·! ”

He squeezes his temples with both hands, whether his head hurts or not.

“No matter how imminent your birthday may be, you still can't legally wake up · ·. ”

“You didn't? There are no Awakening Seals on the body. Take it off?”

“Very rarely, seals are placed inside the body instead of skin. ”

There are a lot of Hunters in this era that we didn't know about yet, but you know quite well.

But I've already figured it out with the successor's eyes. This body is not awake yet.

“No, what are you going to do on your birthday? If you contact the Awakening Stone and are rejected at the altar, the Constitution Ministry will react · ·. ”

“You can say you didn't wake up because you didn't qualify. ”

“Who would believe that? There have been a few accidents that have been rampant so far. ”

He sighed deeply.

“This is bad · · · · You know what happens when you wake up before you turn 19? Even adults are retroactively punished at the time of discovery. You have to prove that you didn't wake up on purpose, and it's practically impossible. The guild leader and our guild leader must leave the guild, and any action related to the Celestial Dragon Guild's interests will be disabled in the future. ”

Due to the rumor that Awakening at a young age will speed up growth, it is a compulsion made intentionally to eradicate the behavior of parents or guilds who awaken their children early and secretly train them for abuse.

Those who do so seek the benefits of a young man who eventually becomes a great hunter, so they will not see any benefits from an Awakened child.

When the Awakening first appeared, the government was concerned that even talented people were deliberately avoiding Awakening because of the risks. But · · · over time, there was no need for such concern.

Dungeons became the driving force for exploring the industry as a whole, creating the vast majority of the world's wealth, and people were anxious to wake up from each other.

Governments underestimated human desires.

“· · Phew, got it. If you lose your memory, you can't be mistaken if you're awake or not. I'll believe it. I'll believe it. But I'm still worried.”

I believe it, but I continue to grumble.

“That said, I still don't understand · · · this trace. ”

His gaze does not fall from the hole in the corpse's forehead.

“It's easier to be big. I've never heard of a hunter who can aggregate Mana as small as me and fly it like a bullet. That Mana Control is impossible even if you think about it · ·. Oh, I don't know. ”

Finally, Kim gives up, shaking his head and searching the rest of the bodies. Of course, all fingerprints were wiped clean and had nothing to identify them with.

“You're in the middle of something, but this is thorough. ”

However, he couldn't give up identity verification, so Kim manipulated the handset on his wrist to take a picture of the faces of each body. The hair was then taken little by little for DNA control.

“Yes, sir, report this to the guild. ”

My guild report comes first before I tell the police who doesn't belong to the Heavenly Dragon Guild.

But I stopped him.

“Secretary Kim, let's just keep this between us for a while. ”

Then, Kim's expression became firm.

“Sir, it's true that I'm your personal assistant, but I was a member of the Celestial Dragon Guild before that. It's against the rules to conceal without reporting an incident like this. ”

“I'm not trying to hide it forever. I plan to make it public when I need it. Until then, I need your help. ”

Kim's eyes sank calmly.

“Are you suspecting an internal affair? ”

“Isn't that what Secretary Kim thinks? ”

He insisted on silence.

Arriving at Black Market today was not a premeditated visit, but a sudden decision made today.

We can't prepare like this unless information leaks from inside.

“When Seogyu and his father start flipping over, the people who set this up will hide. ”

“Then how are you going to find the captain without informing him? ”

“I have an idea. ”

· · · Usually people who don't have any ideas try to escape the situation. ”

I laughed bloody. Kim said, looking at me like that.

“Very well, then. We'll also need to confirm their identity through an outside company. ”

”Good.”

“But if you don't request a backup from the guild, how do you clean up · · the body? You want me to dig and bury? The consequences will be gone soon. You're just gonna leave him like this? ”

“I can't do that. ”

I put very little Mana in the bracelet of my wrist and then circulated it in a consistent pattern.

There are some things that people in this age don't know about dungeons yet. Many of the creatures or items in the dungeon were actually forcibly transported in separate dimensions, such as Earth, through space interference.

This bracelet was originally used by aliens living in a dimension called Srozan.

They didn't want to misuse their stuff, and they made the key to get it to work.

That key is the Mana Wave I just made.

Here are the results!

“Hehe!”

Kim's secretary was furious and pointed at my wrist.

“That!”

The rattling bracelet of several snakes twitches. And the snakes, which looked like sculptures, wobble and move. As the bracelet was sized to fit my wrist at the first stroke, this time the snakes extended their body lengths in reverse and in reverse.

A short while later, five snakes the size of Anacondas were crawling slowly in the air. The closer I go to the tail, the thinner my body gets, and it's still attached to my wrist.

I glanced at the body and said,

“They'll take care of everything. ”

Kim's face became even more suspicious.

What they brought from the black market today is that, unfortunately, they all met the wrong owner and were starving.

They don't give me food, they just pull out Auto-Hill, so I can stand it, and I can't stand it, so I rip off my owner's wrist.

The amount you eat doesn't change, so your heel level is even lower.

It will be different from now on.

“Here, eat. ”

Not a drop of flesh, not a drop of blood.

Enemies! Rrrrgh!

The void echoes through the void as snakes devour the body for a while.
