Chapter 371 – 371. Soin Village
371. Soin Village
Dump.
The headless body is scattered on the floor. I snorted and turned my back. Then, he rummaged through the piles of corpses and took the essence.
“Very, Captain!”
“You crazy bastard!!”
“Kill!”
Fight against
They started firing at the guns they were holding. I deflected all of their attacks using moderately celestial light. And absorbed the essence found among the corpses of cockroaches.
[Transcendence level has risen! – Current transcendence level: 3]
“Um, Delicious.”
It was a cockroach that was nothing but a caterpillar, but when it reached level 4, it was able to provide quite a lot of experience to me, who was level 2. As he was a difficult opponent, he had an enormous amount of experience. I reached level 3 in an instant, and my body became gigantic with a bright light.
“Ugh, aaaaagh!!”
“No, he has evolved! Do, run away!”
“Hehe, where are you going to run away to?”
I glanced at the guys running away in a hurry. It was possible to annihilate me when I was at level 2, but now I don’t know what point it is to run away.
I waved my hand and let out magic power. 1,000 times stronger magic was scattered and wiped out the bugs that ran away.
“Keah!!”
The surroundings became a sea of blood in an instant. It was a sight as if hell had arrived for rent, but the landlord didn’t care. From her point of view, I am just an ant, and the human corpses I just disposed of will only look like red dots.
And no one pays attention to stains on the floor while watching TV. The landlord, the woman, was lying on her side on the sofa, chewing on potato chips and giggling. The massacre just before was of no interest to her.
“Ugh…”
“Are you awake?”
I was thinking about how to pick up something else to eat, but Lee Ji-hyun came to his senses. She scratches her head and looks around her. Having healed all her wounds with her super regeneration, she groaned at the sight of her crushed cockroach corpse, then straightened her back and said proudly:
“Haha, no big deal!”
“He is playing.”
I looked pathetically at Lee Ji-hyeon, who thought Ji-hyeon had taken care of her cockroaches. Perhaps knowing that this older brother was concerned about her stupid little sister’s intelligence, Lee Ji-hyun looked up at my face, puffed out her cheeks, and yelled at me.
“Why are you eating essence when I caught it?!”
“Didn’t you catch it?”
“Kyaaak! Po, against violence!”
Lee Ji-hyun, who became calm. I shoved her roughly into her pocket. Lee Ji-hyun, who sticks her head out of her pocket, becomes more energetic as if she has made me her host, and she begins to give me orders.
“Let’s go!”
“Where?”
“To get the essence!”
I’m just so excited I’m so excited
I don’t know why, but Lee Ji-hyun was fucking excited. She really seems to think she caught her cockroach. Drunk with her own strength, she whined to go find her next prey.
“But what are all the corpses around? Are cockroaches eaten?”
“Not like that.”
Come to think of it, what the hell are these bastards doing?
I wondered what the hell the guys who attacked me were doing. Apparently, they seem to be bugs that live on top of a giant’s house, but they seem pretty organized for a bug. Seeing him holding a gun, the level of civilization seems quite high.
‘Even though they’re insects.’
Still, it seemed worthwhile to look for their nest. The information network looked pretty good, seeing as cockroaches flocked to them as soon as they died. It seemed that if I took over these guys, I would be able to collect the essence more easily.
“Let’s see.”
I broadened my senses. In the distance, a few surviving worms could be seen fleeing back to their lair. I smiled and went back to transcendence level 2 again. And I took off the equipment of the dead guy around me, and shared it with Lee Ji-hyun.
“Ugh, that’s embarrassing…”
Lee Ji-hyun, full of dissatisfaction with his daily life, grumbled. We stole their outfits and chased after them as they secretly ran away. Even though the two of us caught up behind them, the panic-stricken guys didn’t notice our presence.
“Something’s funny giggly.”
Excited at the thought of doing a stealth action, Lee Ji-hyun giggled. Even if he dies anyway, he will only be expelled from the tower, and he will not actually die, so it seems that this situation feels like a game.
“But don’t go crazy like before.”
If Lee Ji-hyun is expelled, it is no different from losing a precious worker, so I told Lee Ji-hyun to be moderate. Lee Ji-hyun chewed on my words while firing the gun he was holding into the sky.
“Huh? What?”
“No…”
“What is that expression?”
The underside of a soft sofa with a huge beautiful girl lying on it. We followed the worms running towards them and were able to identify what appeared to be their stronghold, located under the couch.
“The search party is back!!”
“What, what is that!”
“Is it a raid?”
The guards guarding the entrance groaned as they saw their colleague looking like a defeated soldier. They opened the door and asked what had happened to them.
“Uh, some madman stole the essence. He eats the essence and evolves to level 3, and then, too, his allies.”
“What happened to Captain Kariba?”
“Yeah, he’s dead. My head ran away from the beginning, so.”
“Come in at once. Let’s finish talking at headquarters.”
The guards who saw the survivors talking gibberish led them inside. We sneaked among the survivors and followed them. The guards let us in without question even after seeing our faces. Looking at the fact that he couldn’t remember each face, he guessed that there must be quite a lot of people inside.
“Ohh.”
We were sandwiched between search parties and looked around the city of small men. Inside the barrier made of a strange material. I didn’t expect much because they were parasitic under the sofa, but they were living better than I thought.
How did they make a generator, and they even use electricity. Bright streetlights were planted here and there, and the dark sofa was decorated like a night. Duplex buildings rise next to neatly organized streets, and countless people busily cross the streets.
‘There’s also a car.’
Not as many as in modern society. Most seem to be public transport. But just having a car was amazing. I was living better than I thought on the subject of living parasitic under the sofa.
“Search! The search party is back!!”
People in the city saw us and screamed. A bus waiting at the entrance rushes in to pick up the search party. Is it time to run away?
“Let’s bounce.”
“How?”
“By teleportation.”
We slipped back and teleported into an alleyway. Someone looked around to find us suddenly disappearing, but it didn’t attract much aggro. Lee Ji-hyun and I took off our search party uniforms and changed into our everyday clothes.
“But what did you come here for?”
“Wait, I plan to capture their captain and make him one of our men.
“Load? Hee hee, is that a good idea?”
I also watch a little bit how they are doing.
We left the alley and wandered the streets. Before terrorizing the city, I thought to see how they live.
“Something seems to come from abroad.”
As for the atmosphere, I felt like I was on a trip to a foreign city. However, that feeling is short-lived. The humans walking around saw us and seemed to be buzzing, and soon the cops in body armor approached and pointed their guns at us.
“Hey, pink hair over there. Bring your ID.”
“Dat…”
I looked at Lee Ji-hyun. It seems that this guy’s pink hair has properly attracted aggro. It is said that the city is larger than expected, but the parasitic bugs live under the sofa. The pink hair I’ve never seen in my life is wandering around the city, so I feel suspicious.
“Mister Yay.”
“Ouch!”
I punched Lee Ji-hyun in the head. I was planning to dig up information first and occupy it smoothly, but it seemed like I would have to revise my plan from the beginning.
“It’s not my fault! They have a good sense!”
“Don’t move! If it moves, I will shoot!!”
Stupid pink who doesn’t even know his fault. Seeing our actions, the cops, realizing we were outsiders, pointed their rifles between our eyes and screamed. Of course, I snorted and hit Lee Ji-hyun on the head one more time.
“Shoot!!”
The moment my body moved, they opened fire. I said to Lee Ji-hyun, lightly deflecting bullets with heavenly light.
“You clean up your shit.”
“Yeah.”
A halo of light shone on Lee Ji-hyun’s body. She twisted her wand, which turned into her pistol, as she turned into a western sheriff-like figure and pulled her trigger.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!!
“Keah!!”
Hee hee! This is a real gun you worms!!”
“Kyaaaaagh!!”
“S-It’s an attack!! Run!!”
Pink magic bullets pierce the bodies of the cops. Citizens gathered to see the interesting spectacle begin to scatter in all directions. Lee Ji-hyun was so excited, he fired a pistol into the air and shouted.
“Now this city is occupied by me, Lee Ji-hyun! I’ll put a hole in the head of those who are dissatisfied!!”
