Chapter 417 – Special(8)
The warriors of the Guardian Council suddenly appear and throw the war situation into chaos again.
Their momentum was very strong.
“Urg… , What power… !”
“Everyone be careful! “There’s something strange about these guys!”
Extremely sharp and dazzling movements that dazzle the eyes of those who see them.
At the same time, they seemed to not feel any pain, and even when attacked by the opponent, they counterattacked without any regard, surprising the opponent even more.
Kim Do-jin saw this and frowned.
“… “You’re completely drugged.”
The red magic power that tightly surrounds their bodies comes from the power that Lu Bu received from Ira.
And that energy is expressed through a drug they developed themselves called Rage-13.
If that kind of energy tightly surrounds your entire body, you have swallowed a lot of medicine.
Not being able to feel pain would also be a side effect.
The pleasure provided by intense power pickled the brain and paralyzed the senses themselves.
“No, maybe that was intentional.”
He couldn’t have that kind of energy with the power of drugs he had in his early days.
If I had tried to gain that much energy, I would not have been able to endure it and my heart would have stopped.
That means they finally succeeded in improving Rage-13.
As a test, I used a technique to capture the energy of the medicine, but it was still quiet, so it was clear.
Moreover, not only did it prevent it from being captured by the spell, but it seems that it succeeded in raising the concentration of the energy contained in the medicine to a level that was incomparable to before.
In the process, a side effect of numbness occurred, and this was left on purpose rather than erased.
“There is absolutely no berserker.”
Not feeling pain is a double-edged sword.
The fact that it persistently targets the enemy without collapsing while the battle lasts is impressive, but it also makes it easier for the enemy to attack, damaging the body.
This is something you should never do if you value your colleagues and subordinates, but if you regard them as disposable items to be used once and thrown away, it is an extremely efficient improvement.
It deserves strong condemnation as it is an act of treating humans as disposable objects, but funny enough, I didn’t feel that way.
“Because the population is so large, are there that many people to replace? ?”
Whether it is used like a disposable item or not.
Because he doesn’t have the courage to sympathize with the enemy’s subordinates and get angry instead.
Why should I care about my enemies when I’m busy protecting my own people?
If we dig one step further, Kim Do-jin was simply happy about this situation.
“There’s plenty of prey.”
He whetted his appetite while looking at the members scattering red energy.
To Kim Do-jin, they seemed like nothing more than prey.
And also to gluttony.
“Yes, glutton. Do you want to eat too?”
As if I understood what he was saying, a feeling of energy churned in my stomach.
Did you say that the taste of knowledge is the scariest thing in the world?
Kim Do-jin has already tasted them once.
Even back then, they had a lot less energy than they do now, so I’m even more looking forward to it now.
Wouldn’t the taste also have become richer as the energy was much thicker than before?
Feeling an unbearable appetite, he licks his dry lips with his tongue and then starts walking.
For Kim Do-jin, dealing with these black market villains was much easier than dealing with them just moments ago.
Because.
[Hungry gluttony feasts on the power of anger, ‘Unquenchable Rage’!]
[Hungry gluttony…]
[Was starving…]
That’s because all you have to do is eat up all the energy that surrounds them using gluttony.
It is not easy to take away the energy of the right owner of power.
However, taking something from people like these who know nothing and are swayed by the power given to them is easier than twisting a child’s wrist.
“Wow… !”
“Hee, strength!”
“The strength my lord gave me has disappeared… !”
“Everyone be careful of him!”
The members of the vassals chatter in Chinese as they watch their colleagues losing strength one by one.
Even though those who had been running towards him like people who did not know fear began to hesitate and become wary of Kim Do-jin, nothing changed.
[Hungry gluttony feasts on the power of anger, ‘Unquenchable Rage’!]
No matter how much you eat, you just fall prey to gluttony without knowing that you are full.
Everywhere he passes, four or five vassal members lose energy and collapse.
To someone who does not know the principles, this is a truly jaw-dropping situation.
“W-what is that?”
“That doesn’t make sense…” !”
“Isn’t it possible that you are already S-rank and are faking it as A-level?”
Around this time, confused words were being exchanged here and there.
Finally, 98 out of 120 vassal members assigned to this area fell.
The remaining 20 were defeated by others, and only two were left standing.
Kim Do-jin, who had finished feasting a whopping 98 times, felt that his body had reached its limit.
And at the same time, it is also changing.
‘We’re in big trouble.’
My first feeling about this was fear.
Change does not only produce beneficial results.
Sometimes, change to a state worse than the present is always possible.
That’s how he is now.
‘The balance is lost.’
Because I binge ate without thinking, I ended up absorbing more energy than my body could handle.
As a result, the body is overloaded and its balance is gradually lost.
This is clearly his mistake.
At the same time, I was puzzled.
‘If it had been the same, the system would have given a warning in advance… ?’
It’s been like that up until now.
If you overeat to a point where your body can’t handle it, the system will send you a warning in advance.
Therefore, we have always used that message as a standard to distinguish between predation and gluttony.
‘Did I trust the system too much? .’
At the time, I was blaming myself for being too overconfident about something that was not my own.
Another thought carefully sprouted in my mind.
‘Or not… , Maybe we really haven’t reached our limit yet.’
It just started to go out of balance.
There are no signs of physical damage or disintegration that would cause the worst.
So what if the energy is sucked in even more excessively here?
‘Will the body collapse, or…’
On the contrary, will we be able to use the crisis as an opportunity to reach new heights?
As his thoughts changed, two options were placed in front of Kim Do-jin.
Safely stop feasting and observe the situation, and continue to absorb more energy and inflate.
The choice wasn’t difficult.
It was a choice I accepted many times as I continued to live as a hunter for over 20 years.
A safe but slow path and a fast but dangerous path.
Whether it was a long time ago when I was young or now that I am older.
Each time, his choice was always the same.
Shwaak!
“Wow… !”
Dump!
[Hungry gluttony feasts on the power of anger, ‘Unquenchable Rage’!]
“Whoa.”
There is simply not enough time to choose only the safe path.
‘I need to gain strength.’
We are becoming more and more involved with dangerous things.
The most notable threat is definitely Lu Bu.
A world-class powerhouse with unrivaled power even among the S-class.
And an even bigger threat lurks in plain sight.
‘Hexagram.’
The boss who leads them is probably stronger than Lu Bu.
If it wasn’t to that extent, there would be no way for a woman of Han Joo-hee’s size to entrust herself to her.
He must become strong in a situation where he does not know when their life will be attempted.
To protect my life.
Furthermore, to protect the people around us.
‘That’s enough.’
Even if the destruction of the world comes, it is enough to protect my people.
Therefore, he once again chose a dangerous path.
[Hungry gluttony feasts on the power of anger, ‘Unquenchable Rage’!]
“… “It’s still not enough.”
Even the two people who were shaking in fear were feeling inadequate after eating everything.
An urgent voice poured out from the radio provided before the start of the operation.
[Encounter with unidentified enemies! Please support the southern region!]
It seems that the hunters deployed to the south are being pushed back after encountering the vassal association.
It was already not enough.
Kim Do-jin, who immediately turned around and was covered in a little blood, gave instructions to his teammates, who had become even more manly after not seeing each other for a while.
“Going south.”
Kim Do-jin walks ahead after speaking.
The team members silently followed behind him.
* * *
The southern section where a fierce fight was in progress.
Every time I absorb the power of anger, a dizzying sensation passes through my whole body.
[Hungry gluttony feasts on the power of anger, ‘Unquenchable Rage’!]
[Hungry gluttony…]
[Was starving…]
A predation that continues by pushing the constantly rising message to a corner.
The body, which had been in near-perfect balance, creaked, and the stomach became increasingly heavy.
A warning bell rings in my head over and over again.
However, there is nothing to worry about.
Even though it is constantly misaligned and misaligned, there is no sign of collapse.
“Whoosh, whoosh…” !”
Every time you exhale harshly, red magic flows in and out of your mouth.
By the time more than 80% of the vassal members who had infiltrated the southern area had collapsed and were crawling on the ground.
The radio bursts into flames once again.
[Yeo, Yeopo… ! Lu Bu has appeared! Currently traveling south on horseback… !]
A shock several times greater than before swept through the surroundings.
Lu Bu is coming.
It looks like he came running after receiving a report on the situation from one of his subordinates here.
Those who were fighting fiercely take a step back one by one.
“Lu Bu is coming! Report immediately and get out of here!”
It was a prepared move.
In order to minimize damage the moment Lu Bu appears, leave the operational area immediately after reporting.
That alone can’t reduce the loss to 0, but what can you do?
That’s the only way to reduce it even a little.
He grabs and twists the arm of the vassal member reaching out towards those who are retreating.
And absorbs energy.
[Hungry gluttony feasts on the power of anger, ‘Unquenchable Rage’!]
The energy being sucked in.
At the same time, a sensation I have never felt before fills my mind.
Fulfillment.
It feels like a space that was never filled no matter how much I ate has finally been filled.
At the same time, a new message is displayed in front of your eyes.
[Magic power has reached 100!]
[Ability limit exceeded!]
[New traits bloom.]
[Acquire the trait ‘Dominator’s Realm.’]
The moment when a new characteristic inhabits the body.
The world began to undergo upheaval.
