The Returner

3. Don't say it out loud (2)

The bulging muscles that appear to explode run forward.

Lee Hyuk cheered against the incoming tentacles with shields and tentacles.

“Kill him! ”

But I didn't forget to look behind me.

“Useless things! ”

I leveled it up to a level 5 gate, and all of a sudden, these violent things popped up and became useless again.

This is the only way to make sure you level up so you can work on more aggressive stuff without me!

Even at that urgent moment, Ah-young felt uneasy in Lee Hyuk's eyes, who was firmly determined.

“Well, what is it? ”

“Yes?”

“No, nothing. ”

While Seo Ah-young shrugs and shakes her shoulders, Ojii sprints into the middle of the end of the monster.

Aaaaah!

The short tentacles of the end open, and a black liquid gushes into the mist.

A fog that turns from the air and avoids fluid.

The hair that passes through the acid is scorched and emitted a murky smoke.

Glug!

A noodle shoots a pleura out of the eye and smashes its fist into the human body.

Boom!

Along with the sound of a leather drum, the massive fuselage of Malmesal is pushed back.

“Good job!”

Nice!

The NDF, who became a cheerleader, clapped as they shouted together.

Choi Jung-hoon shook his head as he watched the scene.

“This isn't it... …. ”

I didn't bring you here to cheer!

Jung-min looked at Jung-hoon with a fat face.

“Why did you bring these people here if you're going to do this? Why do you have to work so hard? ”

“… Sorry. ”

It was me who appointed the number of dispatchers, so there was no excuse.

I guess I'm just saying I'm sorry these days. ’

What's with the cast around your neck out there?

It's cold at home.

Choi Jung-hoon turned his gaze to the mistaken, feeling something sad in his heart.

Cough, cough!

The vermin rushes back and swings its fist, but the vermin twists around like a mollusk to avoid the attack.

He gains the tooth and continues the attack again.

I didn't do much damage, but....

“My eyes fall off. ”

The tentacles that were moving around smoothly became dull just by making sure the eyes were turned off.

Lee Hyuk reached out his hand and cut off all the tentacles that were attacking him.

‘I was supposed to let them do this. ’

Lee Hyuk sighed deeply as he watched the NDFs cheering for him behind his back.

Anything less than an Ogre.

Useless! Useful!

I think someone is betting on Buff too, Jin...

“Huh?"

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

Wait a minute.

I think I have an idea.

Well, now that's not the point...

Lee Hyuk sneezed backwards, looking at the tentacles that began to regenerate.

“Danta first.”

Woof.

In front of Lee Hyuk, a few magicians appeared and emitted a black beam.

Rrrrgh!

Laser-flying beams pierce through the human body.

He flutters and sprinkles his body fluids everywhere.

Grotesque.

I can't use that type in movies. It's going to be very, very scary. Woman can't watch a movie.

A noodle rushing towards the biting horse opens its big mouth and literally chews away the central tentacles that are much thicker than the human body.

Dook, dook, dook!

A couple of tentacles fell to the floor as they broke off.

A tentacle that was writhing independently like a living creature sprays acid to the left and to the right and calms down.

“... That's disgusting. ”

Lee Hyuk frowned.

I can't believe I just got beaten up like that.I have to see that!

I'm glad there aren't any of those kids in Beraf.

If I had, I'd have turned him into dirt in some blow.

The tentacles start to spread out around you like hedgehogs.

Glug-ug-ug!

He tried to avoid the tentacles flying towards him, but he couldn't avoid all the tentacles and eventually pierced his abdomen.

Knng!

Lee Hyuk frowned as he heard the screams of the painful mistletoe.

‘It has to be a consumable...... ’

I'm in love.

I can't use it like this.

It was unimaginable for Lee Hyuk from Beraf to feel affection for monsters who aren't human.

‘Fixed……. ’

The fact that the brain is fixed means that it doesn't change at all, so can you say that it's a bit of a castration of humanity?

No, but there's been a rather emotional exchange.

It seemed that after returning to Earth, Lee Hyuk's heart was also weakened.

If it was Lee Hyuk in Beraf, the Apeldiche would never have let that happen before.

I would have arrested him or killed him at any cost.

“Hmm……. ”

People don't change. But it's people who keep changing until they die.

To put it into perspective, this change is not strange, but after a thousand years of not living through the change properly, I couldn't help but be subtly annoyed by this feeling that is happening in my heart.

Lee Hyuk's tentacles stretched out and pierced his back.

Glug!

After gripping his teeth with the pain felt behind his back, he cheered for the pure black magic that flowed into the body.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Cut out the tentacles that dug their belly with their right fingernails. As the hole began to flutter, I quickly recovered my original appearance.

“Let's see……. ”

Lee Hyuk closed his eyes and waved his hands.

It creates a giant magic circle in the air.

Gooooo!

As Mana from Lee Hyuk's body begins to be sucked in, the magic circle activates.

What would be the most effective attack on that sea urchin?

It's probably a sea creature....

“Fire, right?”

Along with Lee Hyuk's gesture, the sorcerer emits a light and produces a very small, dark black flame.

And that black flame sucks Mana and starts to grow bigger, and then swells up like a small ball and grows like a man. Then, a black flame that was only a gathering rose from the air.

“Ah……. ”

Seo Ah-young trembled as she watched the scene.

She's also a firepower.

He was a person who could boast of being good at handling the flames.

However, even though Seo Ah-young looked like that, the flame that she saw was different from the source of the flame that she handled.

If her flame was the sun burning the world, then it was like the devil's tongue devouring the world.

It's gloomy...

Gosh...

It is also cruel.

“Go!”

With Yi Hyuk's shout, the sorcerer vibrates, and a flame bursts out.

Glug glug!

A gathering black flame blazes towards Malmizal.

“Oh my!”

As a black gate appears beneath your feet, the mist throws itself back and forth.

Goooo!

A black flame swept through Malmisal's body, wielding his tentacles.

And...

Kuaaaaahhh!

The flame burns, creating a massive pillar of flame in the air, like the fiery spear of a god.

Like a black dragon ascending into the sky, like a black tornado swirling fiercely....

In front of the pillar of flame that rises to the end of the world through the clouds, the NDFs stare dazed and gazed.

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk also smiled if he was satisfied with what he had created.

“I like it.”

After absorbing the cobblestone, Mana feels somewhat filled. Although much of the magic was lost at the moment, Mana's mental satisfaction was greater than his exhausted sense of detachment.

The flame slowly burns out....

Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue to see the end of his face.

There, a black and red lump of meat writhed, giving its persistent life.

“Why did you come all the way out here? ”

Didn't your friends tell you that Earth is my turf?

Oh, you don't have any friends?

Lee Hyuk grabbed his tongue, kicked it, and approached the debris.

Though it looks like he's still breathing, it won't be long now.

“I'll compliment you. ”

It was really commendable to be alive even after being hit by it.

One life force is acceptable, one life force.

‘By the way.'

It's a little weird, isn't it?

The gate may not always summon the monsters of its kind, but it is far outrageous compared to the zombie dragon or Seti you see before you.

If they had, they wouldn't have been completely smashed to pieces by this one punch.

Basically, a zombie dragon would have survived, and Seti would have avoided.

Even though Lee Hyuk didn't check the gate by himself, the gate might be different in size, and even though the gate is the same size, there can't always be an equivalent monster crossing over there.

“Still, something doesn't feel right. ”

Lee Hyuk shoved a tentacle into the fuselage that turned into charcoal.

A creature I've never seen before.

But is there a Mana?

“Drain.”

Lee Hyuk's tentacles quivered and began to suck the flesh of the end.

Yeah? Yeah.

What the hell is this?

Lee Hyuk tilted his head, feeling familiar.

Isn't this just Mana?

I think that smells very familiar.

Of course, well...

Even though Lee Hyuk is an unknown creature, even though Lee Hyuk is an unknown dimension, there is nothing strange about the world that feels similar if it is a Mana-based world.

“Then why are you so upset? ”

My sixth sense was quivering, not common sense.

Something's not right.

While Lee Hyuk was rolling his head hard, he said his tentacles were good, and he was sucking his mouth.

Eventually, the tentacles, which had only left the shell and sucked everything up, were absorbed back into Lee Hyuk.

“The end.”

That concludes the situation.

Lee Hyuk tapped his stomach and turned around.

This time, I felt like eating something.

No, I've been beaten up a little, but I think I've been having a hard time lately.

“A man's got to eat with his butt! ”

Choi Jung-hoon sighed at Lee Hyuk's solitude.

That guy...

What will become of France if you simply dispose of monsters that could not be stopped even if the power of France was used up?

Jung-hoon Choi is looking for a diplomatic investigation to wrap up the situation appropriately, but the commander at Mercy doesn't seem to think so.

Xavier ran to Lee Hyuk and saluted him again.

Lee Hyuk was also greeted with a slightly stiff face.

“Thank you for your efforts. ”

Choi Jeong-hoon, who arrived on time, panted and interpreted.

“With words?”

“Is there something you want? ”

“There's only one thing they want in France. ”

Xavier, who heard Lee Hyuk's translation, reached out his hand with a smile.

“I'll take you to a great restaurant. ”

“I'm talking to you. ”

Lee Hyuk gripped Xavier's hand and smiled.

“May I join you? ”

“Expensive.”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon made a subtle look at Xavier's jokes from his unlikely face.

“But I can show you. The appetizer bread is unlimited. ”

“… Thank you. ”

It was Jung-hoon Choi who came up with a perfectly reasonable sense that there was no way that a human being fitting with Lee Hyuk would be normal.
