Chapter 2374 – 2374. Modern Magic War
When I returned to headquarters, rumors about me had already spread like wildfire.
It seemed the massacre at Taeul Prison was the issue.
But legally, there was no problem. The opponents weren’t ordinary criminals; they were magic-using criminals, Harriers. Was it necessary to capture such guys alive? It was impossible.
Even if they died during the process of subduing them, it was self-defense. The deaths of the inmates were pinned on Luminus.
‘I killed them to practice my magic and because I was pissed that my taxes were being used on those bastards.’
Well, I haven’t paid taxes in this world yet.
But in reality, I’m quite the model citizen. Due to the nature of being a Hunter, a considerable amount of tax is deducted, but I don’t evade it and pay everything as required.
Even though I’m not that interested in money, I get really pissed if my taxes are used for corruption. Especially during the Jamboree incident. I felt an urge to kill all the higher-ups back then.
‘Back then… ha, never mind. What’s in front of me is more of a problem.’
A written explanation.
I was too lazy to persuade the warden and guards of Taeul Prison, so I knocked them out and left them in one place. That became a problem, and now I had to write a written explanation.
‘I didn’t kill them, I just knocked them out. Thanks to me, Luminus members were killed, and the inmates died, so taxes weren’t wasted. It’s a complete win, isn’t it?’
They said I just needed to write one explanation, so I decided to let it slide for now. I just had to write that I was wrong, right?
As I was about to enter the 8th Division office, I stopped when I saw a man at the entrance.
“What are you doing in front of someone else’s office?”
“Greetings, Commander Sung Yoojin. I am Oh Jeonil from the 1st Division. I wish to transfer to the 8th Division, so I came here.”
Oh Jeonil.
A supporting character from the original story. He joined the Order Bureau around the same time as the protagonist and grew stronger at a similar pace.
“What’s the reason for your transfer request?”
“The Anti-Magic Division, including the 1st Division, was a bit different from what I expected. I believe no leniency should be shown to those Harrier bastards. But the Anti-Magic Division tries to capture Harriers alive as a priority. On the other hand, the 8th Division. I heard you killed all the Harriers, even though you could have captured them. Even those who were imprisoned.”
“You’re mistaken. I didn’t kill the inmates. They killed each other. And my killing of them was self-defense.”
“…Yes. I want that self-defense too.”
“It’s going to be tougher than other divisions. If you remain weak, you won’t last long and will die.”
“Welcome to the 8th Division.”
I took Oh Jeonil into the office. I assigned him an empty seat and handed him some documents.
“Commander. This is…”
“It’s a written explanation. Write it for me and submit it.”
“……My first mission is different from what I imagined.”
“If we knew where the Harrier bastards were, we would have been deployed. But we don’t have any information.”
“Doesn’t the Anti-Magic Division also carry out other missions? For example, missions to recover accidentally created grimoires.”
“The 8th Division’s independent operation rights are mine. And the 8th Division only deals with cases related to Harriers. Any complaints?”
“No. It’s what I want.”
I spent my time playing mobile games.
I thought Yoo Minha, the commander of the 3rd Division, would cause a fuss, but she was quiet. Apparently, she was deployed on another mission.
“Commander. I have submitted the written explanation to the headquarters division. And I also received a formal request for support.”
“A request for support? It seems it’s not urgent if they sent it as an official document instead of a message.”
“Yes. The 8th Division has independent operation rights, so they can’t force us. Because of this, the view of the 8th Division isn’t good. Independent operation rights are a kind of privilege. It will definitely become a problem someday.”
“I’ll have to take the lead later.”
I received the official document and read it.
The content was simple. It was a request for help with the 4th Division’s mission tonight. It wasn’t urgent, so I could refuse.
‘Ah. It’s the mission to deal with the Korean-Chinese Harriers. The 4th Division commander dies in this mission. Things are happening faster than I thought.’
I thought the incident would happen at least a week later. The original webtoon didn’t give the exact date of the incident.
I signed the official document and handed it to Oh Jeonil.
“Go and tell them. The 8th Division will support the 4th Division but will operate separately.”
“Yes.”
• • •
Night fell.
I headed to the mission area in Oh Jeonil’s car. Oh Jeonil was a pretty good driver.
“Commander. I have a personal question… May I ask?”
“I’m bored, so I’ll listen.”
“Why did you join the National Order Bureau, Commander? Given your personality, it doesn’t seem like the Order Bureau is a good fit for you.”
“For a happy ending.”
“Pardon?”
“I answered. Don’t bother me.”
“…Yes. Commander, don’t you have any questions for me? You haven’t asked me a single personal question since this afternoon.”
“I’m not interested in guys.”
Sitting in the back seat, I looked out the window. I saw an old factory. Flames were rising from the place where the 4th Division was conducting its operation.
Crack, crackle.
Oh Jeonil’s radio crackled.
-This is the 4th Division! We need support!
-It’s Remegeton! The backing of the Korean-Chinese drug factory is Remegeton! There were Remegeton mages and executives! The 4th Division commander is currently engaged with a Remegeton executive! The situation is bad! We need support!
-They said the 8th Division was coming?! Where is the 8th Division commander?!
Just from the voices coming from the radio, I could tell the situation was urgent. Of course, I was indifferent.
“Commander. Shouldn’t we rush to the factory right now? If we go around like this, it might be too late.”
“Who said we weren’t going? We’re going around to block the escape route first. That way, we can kill those Remege-whatever bastards.”
Remegeton.
An international magic crime, Harrier group that is incomparable to Luminus, which operates in Korea.
They mainly operate in Europe and have a history of overthrowing several countries, including Finland, Romania, and Germany.
In the original story, Remegeton is the final boss. The mid-part of the original story involves Luminus and the Order Bureau temporarily joining forces to defeat Remegeton, but I had no intention of joining hands with those Luminus bastards.
I’ll kill and eliminate them both.
That’s cleaner.
“Even as we speak, members of the 4th Division are dying.”
“Really? Then we should kill the enemies to avenge them. If you don’t like my decision, you can quit.”
“…I will follow the commander. Even if there are sacrifices from our side, if we can kill all the Harrier bastards… that’s the right thing to do. If we let them escape here, there will be more casualties.”
“You’re better than the other losers.”
“…Is that a compliment? Yes. Thank you. Can I step on the gas? My hands and feet are itching to kill those bastards.”
“I don’t care.”
As soon as he said that, the car sped forward. The vibration of the car was severe because it was an unpaved road. I frowned and turned my gaze to my smartphone.
On the screen was a picture of a vagina. The hair was shaved and looked like it had been a few days, and the labia were dark and droopy. It was a vagina that smelled like a chicken coop.
Sung Yoojin: What is this trashy vagina?
Lim Hyuna: …….
Lim Hyuna: It’s the actress’s vagina you wanted.
I demanded a picture of a vagina from Lim Hyuna once a day as proof of loyalty. Of course, it was a vagina of a different woman each time, transformed by transformation magic. This time, I requested a picture of the vagina of a famous actress I had asked for.
Honestly, I was a little curious.
But my curiosity was satisfied, but I couldn’t help but be disappointed.
Lim Hyuna: Want to know something good? My current form is the actress’s appearance from two years ago.
Lim Hyuna: Maybe it’s worse now? She was a woman who spread her legs everywhere anyway.
Sung Yoojin: Hmm…. That was information I didn’t want to know.
Lim Hyuna’s words were probably true. She could know the memories and experiences of the person she transformed into.
‘According to the Mind-Body Purity Theory, Lim Hyuna is not a virgin. Well, she’s not a real virgin anymore after I fucked her.’
Lim Hyuna: Luminus executive, Jeon Sehoon, will come looking for you.
Lim Hyuna: The purpose is to persuade you.
Lim Hyuna: If persuasion fails, he has orders to eliminate you.
Lim Hyuna: Jeon Sehoon’s grimoire and magic are.
Sung Yoojin: That’s enough.
Sung Yoojin: It’s no fun if I know in advance.
Sung Yoojin: More than that, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s vagina.
Lim Hyuna: Ha.
Lim Hyuna: Don’t get taken down by someone like Jeon Sehoon and disappoint me.
Sung Yoojin: How cheeky. Five clitoral masturbations today. Record it and send it.
Sung Yoojin: If you don’t send it, you die lol.
Lim Hyuna read it and ignored me. She’s probably masturbating right now. She must really think I’m going to kill her.
‘As if I would kill her. She’s a woman with such an interesting, ever-changing vagina.’
Judging from her messages, her intention to use me was obvious. I didn’t really care. Lim Hyuna was pretty, so I could let her use me to some extent.
“Commander. We’ve arrived. The road ahead is a forest, so the car can’t go any further. We have to move on foot.”
I took my smartphone and got out of the car.
Mages hiding behind trees attacked with pistols. I created a wind barrier to block the bullets and flicked my fingers in the air. The wind became a slash, killing three mages hiding behind the trees.
“Mages using guns instead of magic.”
“Guns are more convenient than magic when it comes to efficiency. Not all mages’ magic is specialized for attack.”
Thunder Heaven Style Electromagnetic Wave.
I found the Harriers still hiding nearby. There were five of them. All of them were losers.
“There are about five hiding. Oh Jeonil. You can handle the losers, right?”
“I’m not good at controlling my strength, so I might not be able to capture the Harriers alive.”
“Don’t say things you don’t mean.”
I left Oh Jeonil behind and went straight ahead. It was where explosions were constantly erupting.
When I arrived, the battle was in the endgame. It meant it was about to end.
A shabby old man was standing blankly against the backdrop of the burning factory, and in front of him, a muscular man with both arms missing was kneeling and bleeding. Judging by his glazed eyes, he was barely breathing. That man was Park Son, the commander of the 4th Division.
Before the old man could finish him off, I created hundreds of water droplets in the air and shot them at the old man like bullets.
Something invisible moved in the air around the old man, blocking the water droplets. I identified the identity of the invisible thing. It was 2m in size. A giant monster with arms was protecting the old man.
“Hmm. Each water droplet has more power than a bullet. Not a bad attack. Who are you?”
I couldn’t answer. The monster moved to kill Park Son, the commander of the 4th Division.
‘Leap.’
I jumped 10m and grabbed Park Son by the back of his neck. The surprised old man widened his eyes. The transparent monster punched me. I created a water shield in the air to block the punch.
‘Water Prison.’
The water shield multiplied and swallowed the old man along with the transparent monster. Bubbles. The old man frowned and moved his fingers inside the water prison.
I grabbed Park Son and leaped back.
‘Tsk. He’s severely injured. He won’t last long like this.’
I had no choice but to take out a potion and pour it on Park Son’s head. Park Son regained some consciousness and looked up at me.
“Who… are you….”
“I’m Sung Yoojin, the commander of the 8th Division. I came after receiving a request for support.”
“Request for support? …Was it his doing? I said I had a bad feeling…. Sung Yoojin. Run away. That old man is a monster on the level of the bureau chief or the 1st Division commander.”
“You should consider yourself lucky. If I wasn’t the protagonist, I would have left you to die.”
“Protagonist? What are you talking about all of a sudden….”
“Shut up.”
The water prison burst, and the transparent monster rushed at me. I threw Park Son into the air and clenched my fist. Wind gathered in my fist and compressed into a knuckle.
I charged into the transparent monster’s chest and punched it.
Kwaaang!
A shockwave erupted, and the transparent monster flew backward and crashed into the ground. The old man stroked his white beard, wet with water, and looked at me with narrowed eyes.
“Water. Wind. Space movement, recovery potion. My interest in you is piqued.”
