Chapter 334 – #335 Found
#335 found
Superpowers and not superpowers at the same time.
‘What dog eating grass?’
It was something I said, but it was something I couldn’t quite understand. How can you use psychic powers when you haven’t awakened?
“… Wait for a sec?”
Then, all of a sudden, a scene passed through my mind.
It was when I went back in time and killed the Heroes’ vice-captain. Then I stabbed him through the heart from behind and crushed him to death.
I was able to obtain an orb the size of my fist, and the identity of the bead was an artifact named [Black Flame Dragon’s Eye].
The moment I held the artifact in my hand, the same system message as when I first saw the heart of the siren appeared before.
If there is a difference from that time, the player-only quest appeared during the Siren’s Heart, but it does not appear now.
Non-psychic beings who use psychic powers, and artifacts embedded in the hearts of their commanders.
“Using psychic powers as artifacts?”
It really makes no sense, but when you think about it, it wasn’t that far-fetched.
First of all, I don’t know exactly the effect of the artifact.
Even when he obtained the Siren’s Heart, he only got the quest clear reward, but he didn’t do anything with the Siren’s Heart. I just put it in my inventory except when I take it out occasionally and spray it with seawater to listen to the song.
And to heal the wounds of Ren, who was subordinated to me as a slave, I consumed the heart of the Siren.
At the time, I thought it was the effect of the artifact… What if there were other effects that I didn’t know about?
For example…
“Can you use supernatural powers with artifacts?”
Then I could explain what happened now.
“Ah…!”
Reminded of something, I opened my inventory and took out a black orb the same size as the Black Flame Dragon’s eye.
[Heart of Beelzebub]
It was obtained by killing Beelzebub, who was the absolute strongest in another dimension. If you take this, you can use the special superpower [Lord of the Flies (Lv. 10)].
Is this also a relic? But why didn’t the system text mention that this is an artifact? Also, unlike other artifacts, why is this information verifiable?
“…Think about it later.”
I put Beelzebub’s heart and the bodies of the two dead psychics in my inventory. If my hypothesis is correct, there must be artifacts in their bodies.
Now was not the time to reason and gather information. The first priority was to demolish the building where the black market operator was expected to be located.
Turning around, I entered the building.
*****
“Come!”
“Attack!”
While I was lost in my thoughts, the guards of the building were gathered on the first floor. As soon as I showed up, they started attacking using psychic powers.
“…”
‘Bouncing.’
I used my repulsion skill to push back the psychic powers flying toward me. Their attack bent in the wrong direction and exploded.
‘Psychic Analyst.’
I bought some time with my repulsion skill and confirmed their superpowers.
[Lightning Sorcerer (Lv.8)], [Time of Apophis (Lv.8)], [Master of Shield Art (Lv.8)] Etc… All were 8 levels.
“…”
[This target is not using psychic powers.]
Only one person wasn’t using psychic powers. The energy I feel from him is comparable to the commander I killed, then the author must be level 10 as well.
Now, I’ve confirmed that these guys are psychic.
Now all that remains is to check whether my hypothesis is correct.
“Suck!”
He took a deep breath and ran forward.
“Come!”
“Stop!”
They resisted fiercely, but to no avail.
Every time they swung their blades, one by one they lost their lives and collapsed. The last one left is the one who didn’t use psychic powers.
“Iron thorns!”
Jizz-!
As he used his skill, sharp thorns pierced his clothes and protruded from his back. The one who rolled his body into a ball rolled toward me.
“Sonny’s protection!”
Therefore, I also used a skill that was not a skill.
“Cheukhak?!”
What this means is that I just kicked him like I was kicking a soccer ball. The guy who was rolling around flew away and crashed into the wall.
“Oh shit…!”
He couldn’t move because the thorns sprouting from his back were deeply embedded in the wall. It would be easy to get out if the thorns were removed, but it was the first time such an enemy was struggling.
‘Also.’
Hook-!
“Kuhuhuhuhh…!”
I ran straight to him and stabbed him in the capital. He could feel the hard beads at the tips of his fingers as they penetrated his muscles and bones. Grabbing his orb and pulling it out, he trembled and died soon after.
[[Artifact: Iron Gashiraba’s Core] Found.]
[You will receive 1 [Psychic Level Up Ticket] As a reward.]
[Tickets: [Psychic Option Ticket] X0 [Psychic Level Up Ticket] X14]
“…”
Looking at the brown orb in his hand, he smiled bitterly.
‘Batman will shed bloody tears.’
The good news is that non-killing caution is turned off.
Anyway, this proves my hypothesis. These guys use artifacts to use superpowers. That’s a high-level psychic ability.
I put the dead guys in my inventory, took out the bombs and planted them on the poles. Hit the detonator switch and the bomb will explode and the building will collapse in one fell swoop.
But I didn’t hit the switch. I was thinking of pulling out everything I could from here and knocking down the building.
“Stop it! Whoops!”
“Kheuhuhuhh!”
He knocked down those who stood in his way one by one, and continued to climb up while taking the corpses.
And when you reach the top floor-
“Uuuuu! Burr, you’re here already?! Stop it!”
“Suck!”
I saw a man hurriedly packing something and a man protecting him. At the man’s cry, the bodyguard ran to stop me.
The bodyguard took something out of his bosom and threw it at me.
Pop-!
“…”
I tried to cut it off, but it turned out to be a trap. What the bodyguard threw at me was a smoke bomb, and in an instant all around me was enveloped in a thick gray fog.
No further attacks came. The intention was to buy time.
‘It bothers me.’
The method was quite good, but it ended there. It’s no use doing that.
‘Bouncing.’
I used my repulsion skill to push the fog that enveloped me. What-? As the fog receded, the bodyguard’s panicked voice was heard.
‘Was it that one? Manpower.’
“Ughhhhh?!”
This time, on the contrary, I pulled him using the manpower skill. The bodyguard came helplessly and grabbed me by the hand.
“Aww!”
The bodyguard who grabbed me by the neck struggled. He hit me and tried to free his hand from his grip on his neck, but his strength was not enough.
“Ugh…”
Eventually, unable to breathe, he lost consciousness and slumped. With the bodyguard down, there was no one to stop me anymore. He found the man who was packing his things.
“… Damn!”
But the man’s figure was nowhere to be seen. Instead, what caught my eye was a large circle on the floor and a six-pointed star drawn on it.
While the bodyguard was wasting time, the man who was packing his luggage had left the black market alone.
“Tsuba is a freaking fast guy.”
He was the man who used the top floor of such a splendid building. He must be one of the black market executives.
He missed the operator right in front of him, but he didn’t have to regret it too much. I was a master of torture, and in front of me was a bodyguard who had fallen unconscious.
Since he was a bodyguard, he probably knew who the man was and where he lived.
Looking out the window, I saw people approaching the building I was in, exhaling menacing spirit. In addition to the people in suits, there were also people in white coats.
The former will be troops protecting the black market, and the latter will be heroes belonging to the new hero association, Heroes.
“Step 3… Is it half-successful?”
My Phase 3 plan was to take down three of the biggest and most spectacular buildings in the Black Market. But, unfortunately, it has not yet been destroyed.
The bomb has been planted, so you can destroy the building at any time by pressing a switch. But the other two couldn’t.
It seemed that at least 200 people gathered here. Even that number continued to grow.
“That’s all for today.”
I only managed to clear one of the three buildings, but I also needed to reorganize. Specifically, I had to find out the secrets of the Black Market and Heroes based on the clues I had obtained so far.
I could have killed them all, but I didn’t. If we kill them all here, the really important operators will get scared and hide.
You have to frighten them moderately so that they will run amok, claiming revenge.
I took care of the fainting bodyguard and stood on top of the fortress. Now press the detonation switch and think you’re going back, and you’ll be taken back to Treasure Island.
Um… But I don’t know if this guy can go with me too? Well, it will work somehow
“Then… Audio… Huh?”
The moment I was about to press the detonation switch, I felt eyes staring at me. The animalistic senses did not lose sight of it.
“…!”
The moment I saw the direction I could feel the gaze, I opened my eyes wide.
He was tall enough to be comparable to me, had black hair, scars across his face, and a black tiger skin draped over his shoulders like a cape.
One, two, three.
I can’t remember the faces of these three guys. But I remember exactly one face. Because he’s the key.
Leader of Slater.
The one who killed Laonzena’s mother in front of her.
A man who treats his friend’s wife like a slave.
The man who looked at me with a warlike gaze from afar was [Zero].
“…”
“…”
I glared at Zero, who was smiling at me.
Tiff-!
Aaaaagh-!
I thought I would go back as soon as I pressed the detonation switch.
I didn’t take my eyes off Zero until my vision changed. It was the same.
The building was engulfed in flames.
*****
Returning to Treasure Island, I threw the bodyguard I brought with me into the hideout underground facility and returned home.
“…”
After washing her body, I went down to the living room and sat down on the sofa, waiting for Raon Jenna, and organizing the information I had obtained so far.
Since Raon Xena is her body subordinate to me, she can talk to her even if she is far away, like her telepathy. However, I wanted to tell the important story of finding Zero face-to-face.
Anyway, let’s clear up the information.
The first information, the guards of the black market, including heroes, are both psychic and not psychic at the same time.
The second piece of information, the reason they can use psychic powers is because they implanted artifacts into their bodies.
Third piece of information, they have little combat experience. Even though they could deal with it calmly, they were flustered and couldn’t do anything.
Fourth piece of information, there are many relics in the black market.
The Fifth Information, Zero and three other executives of Slater have been in the black market so far.

“What are you doing, Master?”
“… Ah? Huh? When did you come?”
I woke up to the sound of a voice whispering in my ear as he hugged me from behind. When I looked behind her, Raon Jenna was looking at me with a strange smile. Is it in heat?
“Ten minutes ago?”
“Really? Then why didn’t you tell me?”
“I thought he was thinking about something serious. And he was so sexy that I was appreciating him.”
Clump~ clump~
Raon Jenna whispered strangely and quietly rubbed her chest against my shoulder. It looked like it was in real heat. She was saying that her face, flushed red, wanted to fuck me right now.
When she saw it, she became infatuated.
‘I have to tell you something important…’
Now that I think about it, I think we can talk about it after having a lot of sex time. With her head full of yas, she couldn’t hear anything she said.
“Let’s have sex, Raonjena.”
“Kyaa! It’s cool~!”
I got up from her seat, hugged Raon Jenna in the princess hug position, and went up to my room. Soon, her groaning sound was heard.
*****
“Haha… It was so good, Master.”
Raonjenna kissed my cheek with a languid smile like a full cat. Hmm! Estrus is good.
Anyway, now it was her turn to speak to her.
“Raonjena.”
“Eh~? Master, why?”
“I saw zero today.”
“Uh~ that’s right~”
Raon Jenna answered in a languid voice as if she was about to fall asleep.
“… What?”
But soon she got serious and asked me back.
“Ji, what did you say now?”
“Zero, I found it.”
“…”
Raonjenna looked at me blankly as if she was so surprised.
