Chapter 657 – Side Story 160) the Chaser(59)
160) The Chaser (59)
Steel Armor, who killed Dok-go-young, left the Dok-go family without any regrets as if his business was over.
Of course, it wasn’t really over. If that were the case, the wind barrier opened by the Siren would have disappeared.
The barrier of wind that enveloped the entire Dokgo family had not been lifted and was still blocking outsiders from entering and insiders from escaping.
Anyway, when the steel armor left, the Dokgo family’s hidden talents finally appeared. Among them were 73-year-old Jin Dok-go, son of Dok-go-yeong, the head of the household, and his grandson, 48-year-old Dok-go-Meng.
“Oh, Father…”
“…”
Dok Go-jin’s hands trembled at the sight of Dok Go-young, who had become a corpse, while Dok-go-maeng looked at his grandfather with a hard face.
Approaching his father’s corpse, Dokgo Jin knelt beside him. Then he stretched out his trembling hand and stroked Dokgo Young’s cheek.
Dokgo Young’s cheeks were still warm because he had just died.
Dokgojin slowly stroked his father’s cheek.
Wow-!
Suddenly he grabbed his father’s hair.
“Ku, haha! Ahahahahahahaha!”
And burst into laughter.
Jab-! Match-! Jab-!
“Lee, damn, baby, real, to go behind, quickly, I have to go through!”
Dokgo-jin slapped his father and poured out abusive language. If Dokgo Young was alive and well, it was something he would never have done, or could never have done.
Dokgo Young killed not only his brothers but also his parents at the young age of 10.
Dokgojin’s son, Dokgojin, insults Dokgoyeong’s body by beating it.
The word father and his son comes to mind, but Dokgo-jin had a lot to do with Dok-go-yeong.
His age was 73 years old.
All the children of seven families of a similar age or younger occupied the position of head of household and wielded absolute power, but Dokgo-jin did not.
Because of that goddamn family tradition, Dokgo-jin couldn’t become the head of the Dok-go family even if he wanted to.
The title that followed him was always ‘Sogaju of the Dokgo family’.
Dok Go-yeong was a powerful superhuman, making one question whether he was the same person or not. Moreover, he grew up watching Dok Go-yeong purify those who went against his will.
The fear of his father lingered in his heart even at the age of 73.
Would you have cheered in your heart for Steel Armor, who had invaded your family, to kill your father?
In particular, when I saw Dok Go-yeong stepping out of his residence, I felt like I wanted to cheer him up.
Even though today’s raid weakened the family a lot, that didn’t matter.
What is important to Dokgo Jin is that the monstrous Dokgo Young is dead, and now he has become the head of household.
Most of the elders who followed Dokgo-young died, but his own power still remained. It’s okay to skip family traditions for once.
“Father. Congratulations on becoming the family head.”
“Ah, blind. Thank you. You’ve been very helpful. I’m so proud of you as my son.”
“It’s too much praise. Father, no, you’re the head of the family now. I just did my duty as a human being for the sake of the head of the family.”
Haha! Yes, thank you Blind! And don’t worry. I am not your grandfather, no, that hideous monster. Sooner or later you will take my place.”
“Yes? But the head of the family. Then the family tradition…”
“Forget about that old-fashioned tradition. Since such a rotten tradition remains, isn’t our Dokgo family still staying in the seven families? It is.”
“Yes, family head. I’ll keep that in mind. And since that monstrosity might come back, I think it’s better to go down to the fusion room.”
Haha. Yes. Let’s go down.”
At Dokgo-maeng’s words, Dokgo-jin smiled with satisfaction.
In fact, when the steel armor attacked Dokgo Jin, he tried to fight him with his forces.
But Dokgo-jin stopped him. He wanted to use the steel armor to deal with Dokgo Young, who seemed to rule forever.
Dokgo Jin, who has been unable to escape from his father’s shadow for more than 70 years, has listened to his son’s tricks and is finally able to achieve what he only dreamed of.
“Ah, leave it alone. I’ll take care of the body. But the name was my father.”
“Yes, my lord.”
When his men tried to take Dokgo Young’s body, Dokgo Jin personally took his body.
It is the corpse of a father who used as many as three powerful psychic powers. If she absorbs it, she will be able to gain power equal to it.
It was Dokgojin who had already killed his twin brother and absorbed his power, but this time he intended to fuse with Dokgoyoung’s body.
The second fusion reduces the survival rate to 50%, but Dok Go-young also had an idea. Among the family’s treasures, there is a treasure that increases the survival rate, and he intended to use it.
Dokgo Jin looked at the back of his son who was leading the way as if escorting him.
‘Don’t worry, Blind. I will hand over the position of head of household to you. 100 years from now! Haha!’
Didn’t I say that power is not shared between father and son?
Thanks to his son’s plan, he got the chance to become the head of the household, but Dokgo Jin had no intention of handing over the position to his son.
How did you get the position, but only a few years later?
Dokgojin always intended to keep the position of head of household.
‘I’ll go! It’s my world now! I became an absolute…’
Dokgo-jin was delighted with the rosy future ahead.
Hook-!
“… Uh?”
He stared in disbelief at the sword that pierced his chest. When I looked up, I saw my son Dok-go-maeng, who was walking in front of me, with a fishy smile.
The word betrayal came to Dokgo-jin’s mind.
“Yes, you bastard…!”
“I’ve been thinking about it… Is there any reason for my father to take the position of head of household? Honestly, am I not better than my father? So, I will just be the head of household. Father, just remain the head of Soga forever.”
“Yes, how dare you…!”
Slow-!
Enraged, Dokgojin quickly tried to use his psychic powers, but the sword that Dokgomaeng wielded was faster than that. His sword cut Dokgo-jin’s throat.
Dokgojin’s head rolled at Dokgomaeng’s feet.
In the end, is it because of the fact that he died without being able to rise to the position of head of the household, or was it because he was betrayed by the son he trusted?
There was a grievance on his face.
“My father is too incompetent to lead the Dokgo family. How do you try to become the head of a family without knowing whom your people swear allegiance to? It was too much.”
Dok-go-maeng, who mocked the dead Dok-go-jin until the end, took the two bodies.
“Now let’s go down. I will take the body of the former head of the family. Chan will take the body of the previous head of the ‘So’ family.”
“Thank you, brother! No, the head of the household!”
Water through water through water through water.
To them, the surname Tongsu was more suitable than the surname Dokgo.
And the last one was waiting for them.
“Heh, hee,hee hee… The prey… Came to their feet.”
“Wh-what is this monster?!”
Waiting for the Dokgomaeng group to come down to the fusion room was a hideous-looking giant.
“Ugh…”
“Porridge… Ye… Give me…”
The faces of others were stuck everywhere on the enlarged face, and the terrible thing is that all of those faces are alive. Faces contorted with pain were groaning and crying for death.
Dozens of arms were attached to the giant’s abdomen like ribs, and dozens of legs attached to the calves were attached like supports. Also on its back was a barnacle-like head without features.
“Kill that monster!”
“You must avoid it, my lord!”
The appearance of a completely unexpected monster left the group in awe.
A few brave men attacked the monster using their superpowers, and the rest tried to escape with Dokgomaeng, who became the head of the household.
It was not a monster that would sit idle and watch Dokgo-myeong run away.
“Where are you going?”
Ki-Ik-Kung-!
“Omg!”
When the monster stretched out its arm with fingers thick like hairs, telekinesis was exerted and the door to the fusion room was closed. People tried to open the door, but the door, which was firmly closed by telekinesis, could not be opened.
“Break it! Break it!”
“Haaaaagh!”
Bang-!
He tried to break down the door using his psychic powers, but to no avail. The monster’s telekinesis blocked their psychic powers like a shield.
“Why! Why doesn’t it break!”
“Hey, let go of this!”
In the meantime, the monster caught one of the powers attacking him. With telekinetic power, he brought a drum that was piled up on one side of the fusion room and poured the liquid inside into the person with the ability.
Then, I attached the liquid-soaked ability to my chest. The hands that were attached like ribs grabbed the talented person.
“Leave this… Aaaaa!”
“Huh?!”
Then something surprising, no terrible, happened. As the body of the person with the ability melted little by little, he began to be ‘absorbed’ by the monster.
“Oh ahhhhh man!
“…”
“…”
Dokgo-myeong and other talented people lost their words at the unbelievable sight. The ability who cried while being forcibly absorbed by the monster soon fell silent.
Eyes, nose and mouth protruded from the side of the monster’s face, and a face without features sprouted from its back.
“Keuuuuu55] This is your super power… It’s very delicious.”
The monster that absorbed the ability smiled with satisfaction. And I looked at the talented people.
“You… And the ones left above… If you absorb them all…”
Life dwelled in the corner of the monster’s eyes.
“Uhhhhh…”
“Don’t come! Don’t come! Aaaaa!”
“Die!”
The talented people screamed at the monster and poured their psychic powers. It wasn’t completely ineffective. It’s because the flesh burst and the blood spurted out.
“Turn it off…”
“Lord, you can kill!”
“Kill him!”
As the monster suffered, the morale of the talented people rose.
But-
“Khehehehehe.”
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Help me!!!”
Powered by the monster’s telekinesis, one by one they rose to the top. The bodies of the talented people were bent and folded as if they were being compressed with a press.
Powerful people whose bodies were crumpled almost like a carrier bag.
“Aww!”
“Sah, save…”
What’s even more horrifying was that even though they were in that state, the talented people were still alive. Only Dok-go-maeng, who became the new head of the Dok-go family, remained intact until the end.
“Oh no! No eh eh eh!”
Dokgo-Min screamed as he looked at the monster approaching him.
*****
How much time has passed
“Kuhh, uhh, uhh…”
Except for the monsters, no one was alive in the fusion room. Except for the two corpses, all living abilities were absorbed by the monster.
All that was left were the bodies of Dok Go-yeong and Dok-go-jin, who were once the heads of the Dok-go family and So-ga.
Even though the fusion was repeated over and over again, the monster remained alive. The second fusion has a 50% survival rate, after which the survival rate drops exponentially.
However, through that low probability, the monster survived.
How?
“I must… Kill…”
With only one desire for vengeance against someone, the monster survived the continued absorption to the end.
“Wait a little… Wait… Majuna… I’ll avenge you…”
The monster that held the corpses of Dok Go-young and Dok Go-jin, the father and son, one in each hand, smiled. There was a deep life in his eyes.
The monster’s name is Dokgo Ma-hyeok.
He was an assassin of the Dokgo family who lost his younger brother to Steel Armor.
