Chapter 1720 – 1720. The Dark Merchant
What followed was the bearded man’s charge. He held a small plate-like object in his hand, which grew larger and larger until it became a shield over 2 meters tall.
It was likely an item with special effects rather than an ability. I dodged his reckless charge to the side and raised my sword.
Just as I was about to counterattack, magic came flying. Ice shards. I leaned back to avoid them. Using my core strength, I bounced back and attacked the bearded man again. This time, I was interrupted by a knife moving with telekinesis.
Should I take the hit and counterattack? There was no guarantee I’d succeed, and this was reality. I shouldn’t take death lightly. I was even more cautious after realizing that dying repeatedly in the previous game world meant the end.
I threw myself to the side, dodging the knife.
‘Damn it. I was too careless.’
The individual levels weren’t that high.
Average B.
The bearded man was A-class at best. His shield charge would be enough to take me out if I took it head-on.
‘Their teamwork is insane. Even soldiers wouldn’t be this coordinated. They must have been working together for years.’
Whenever I tried to counterattack, they threw in an unavoidable interruption. If I ignored the interruption, I’d have to give up something.
The bearded man changed direction. He charged again, shield first. It was more powerful than a truck at full speed. I dodged again. As if on cue, gravity magic activated. Gravity reversed, making my body feel light. I used mana to compensate for the weight. I quickly regained my balance, but I couldn’t avoid the assassin’s snake-like kick to my abdomen.
I flew backward. Five telekinetic knives with gleaming edges were waiting for me. I twisted my body to avoid them. My overworked muscles seemed to scream. But there was no time to rest. Arrows were flying.
‘There’s nothing I can do.’
I felt like a puppet dancing at their whim.
I considered using Full Recovery to force my way in. It was one of my favorite methods. Having an extra life was a huge advantage.
‘Such perfect teamwork can easily crumble with a small opening.
But after killing all of them? Kanex, who’s watching us indifferently from the altar, would remain. Am I supposed to fight someone who seems several times more dangerous without Full Recovery?
[Using Momentary Flash. Remaining stacks: 4]
I used Momentary Flash to deflect the telekinetic knife that was flying at me with my sword.
‘…Why am I doing this?’
The thought suddenly struck me.
Was there a reason to fight fair and square?
I could just run away. And I could take pictures of them trading with monsters. Just posting that online would cause an uproar. The Association would move to deal with it directly.
‘No. I don’t have to run. I can win. If not this way, I can fight another way.’
I summoned a smoke grenade and threw it on the ground.
Bang!
The smoke grenade exploded, creating a thick cloud that obscured vision. I used Illusory. My body became transparent.
“Ron!”
“I know! Wind!”
The mage created a gust of wind to clear the smoke. Of course, I was already gone. Not seeing me, they looked around in confusion.
“He’s running away! Catch him!”
[Using Acceleration. Lasts for 10 minutes. Remaining stacks: 3]
Try to catch me if you can.
I successfully made it out of the temple. Should I run away from the dungeon now?
‘Run? It’s my turn now, what’s with running?’
I used Illusory and blended into the city. A while later, they came out of the temple.
“It seems he escaped.”
“No, we don’t know yet. He might be hiding somewhere. His ability is presumed to be invisibility. It’s a perfect ability for hiding.”
“Can’t we just detect him with mana like before?”
“Do Haeyoung. It’s not as easy as you think. My detection range isn’t wide enough to cover this entire city. At most, it’s 15 meters.”
“Then we need to try another method. We have a thermal camera. Let’s use that to search.”
“You brought that too?”
“I brought all the equipment we used outside. I reported it, but…”
“Ahem. Anyway, we move together. You saw his skills, right? He’s A-class. And quite skilled at that. If we split up, we’ll die.”
They moved cautiously, looking around. I was on top of a building, aiming an RPG at them and pulled the trigger. The RPG missile flew, leaving a trail of smoke.
“Allahu Akbar!”
The bearded man stepped forward. He instantly enlarged his shield to 5 meters, creating a wall. The rocket hit the wall and exploded. They were unharmed. Before they could counterattack, I pulled out a new weapon.
“Javelin missile!”
The target was the archer who was aiming his bow at me. He was surprised but still managed to draw and shoot. The javelin missile was blocked by the bearded man who moved his shield.
[Using Momentary Flash. Remaining stacks: 2]
I dodged the arrow and summoned the next weapon.
“Hyungung!”
An anti-tank missile was launched. The bearded man seemed to have anticipated it, enlarging his shield to protect his comrades.
‘This isn’t all this time. The real thing is…’
Whoosh.
Mana escaped into the sky. The mana that went up into the sky soon turned into lightning and struck the ground.
“Wida!”
Only the bearded man with the shield sensed the flow of mana and noticed the lightning. But the others didn’t. And the bearded man was busy blocking the Hyungung missile, so he couldn’t block the lightning falling from above.
‘Start with the weakest one.’
Boom!
The lightning infused with mana struck the assassin who had lost an arm.
The assassin fell. I couldn’t tell if he was dead or unconscious from where I was.
‘Even if he’s not dead, he won’t be able to move right away.’
I jumped down from the building and hid back into the city.
‘This is just the beginning.’
I pulled out a bunch of modern weapons.
I set up mines and claymores all over the city and fired anti-tank missiles whenever I had the chance. Even for hunters, anti-tank missiles weren’t something they could easily ignore.
Boom! Bang bang bang! Boom! Bang bang bang!
Explosions consumed the city. I attacked and ran, repeating the process, taking them down one by one. After many had died, only the bearded man and the only woman, Do Haeyoung, remained.
“Damn it! No individual can have this kind of weaponry! Where the hell did you come from?! America? Russia?!”
The bearded man shouted.
“You tell me first! What are you guys, Verta?!”
At the same time, I aimed an RPG at him.
“There he is! Do Haeyoung! Kill him! I’ll block the attacks!”
I fired the RPG. Pieces of metal and stones that had fallen around me were lifted into the air. Hundreds of pieces rushed toward me.
[Using Momentary Flash. Remaining stacks: 1]
I dropped the launcher and jumped down from the building. I used Illusory and rushed towards the bearded man. The rocket missile explosion effectively obscured the enemies’ vision.
[Opening the Heavenly Eye.]
Looking through the smoke with the Heavenly Eye, I smiled. The shield he was so proud of had cracks in it.
‘It’s no wonder after blocking more than 10 anti-tank missiles.’
Do Haeyoung seemed to have noticed me and threw knives at me with telekinesis. I dodged to the side. The knives that flew behind me changed direction and chased me.
‘Let’s see who’s faster.’
Crackling.
Electricity sparked from my body. I’d only use it for a moment, so the side effects were okay.
Thunderous Flow Style, Gale Lightning.
I reached the shield in an instant. At this speed, I could cut through the shield and the man.
Thunderous Flow Style, Thunder Flash.
A blue line flashed in a straight line, cutting through the shield and the bearded man. Ignoring the corpse that fell in two, I swung my sword at Do Haeyoung.
Telekinesis grabbed my body. It was useless. My body, with its momentum, wasn’t light enough to be held by such weak telekinesis.
She closed her eyes tightly, sensing death. The sword that was aimed at her forehead turned to the side and fell to the ground. I never intended to kill her from the start. Instead, my left hand grabbed her neck.
‘Lightning.’
I adjusted the output so it wouldn’t kill her. Sparks flew, and Do Haeyoung’s eyes rolled back.
I caught Do Haeyoung as she fell and examined her body. Underneath her black clothes, she was toned. Her chest wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either. About a B cup. I touched her waist, it was firm, and her buttocks were plump.
“I can’t not take a woman like this. And I can get information too.”
I took Do Haeyoung to the house where they had been staying. There were quite a few expensive-looking devices like radios and laptops. Inside, there was a cot. I threw her onto the bed and disarmed her.
She was wearing a sports bra and a panty set. Her abs were clearly defined. I slowly took off her underwear too.
Her firm breasts had pink nipples, and her groin had stiff pubic hair. Under the pubic hair was a pink pussy. It looked like a perfectly symmetrical pussy, but if you looked closely, the left labia was a little plumper.
I spread her pussy with my index and middle fingers.
She was a virgin.
‘She’s too good to kill.’
I decided to spare her.
She didn’t even know my face, so revenge was a pipe dream. In the first place, she didn’t have the skills or talent to dream of revenge.
I put my dick between her thighs and rubbed it. When I used orgasm enhancement, she started to get wet even though she was unconscious. I also massaged her breasts a few times, and her nipples stood up. Her nipples were quite large for a B cup. Without realizing it, I lowered my head and bit her nipple. The plump nipple tasted good.
“Ugh, uh…”
Do Haeyoung started to regain consciousness. She lifted her eyelids, but her eyes were unfocused and moved around. Then, she fully regained her senses and raised her right hand into a fist.
Thwack!
I punched her in the abdomen first.
“Ugh…!”
She bit her lip, enduring the pain.
Then how about this.
I thrust my dick into her pussy, which wasn’t wet enough yet.
“Ughhh!”
