Chapter 56 – I Will Protect My Daughter ( 3 )
Among the traditional flash games, there is a game called ‘Raising Fish’.
It is a game in which you control a fish and eat smaller fish or marine life to increase its size.
Gulp-!
Although we start with very small fish at first.
Gulp-gulp-gulp-…
As the amount of fish eaten increases, the small size gradually increases.
Of course, if you come into contact with a bigger or similar fish here, the player’s fish will die and the game will be over.
‘I am no different from that.’
As a tentacle, it could only swallow opponents weaker than itself.
‘Since it’s an absorption ability, I thought that just swallowing an opponent would completely add to the strength of the opponent.’
But that wasn’t it.
======================
The first thing I checked after being possessed by Dr. Rocks was my ability to manipulate living organisms.
Just for that, I had to check if it was possible to manipulate the body even to the part I imagined to be able to say that I was possessed by an extra villain.
Wriggling…
“Okay. This is enough. I can do whatever I want.”
Let’s confirm that you can transform the body of the target as you wish.
Dreaming…
“By the way… Dr. Lox must have been at the level of a C-class monster, right?”
Attention was drawn to the fighting power of Dr. Rocks.
It would have been nice if everything could be solved with the biomanipulation ability.
The biological manipulation ability itself had only the effect of increasing the muscular strength of the body to the limit or activating the ability of the body organs.
In reality, if the body itself became stronger, it would be useful to be able to demonstrate outstanding abilities in various ways among human beings of the same level.
In this world of “Boys, Become Heroes,” There exists a power other than body parts called “Magical power.”
“Right now… Well, it’s at a level where even if you brush it, you’ll die.
Dr. Lox didn’t just have biomanipulation powers.
The ability to manipulate living organisms is only one of the abilities possessed by tentacles, and in addition to that, it also possesses the ability to summon tentacles or digest and absorb subdued targets.
‘If I continue to absorb opponents and develop my strength, I will be able to join the ranks of the Munchkins in no time!’
At the time, Cheols, who did not know anything yet, rolled the hope circuit and searched for suitable prey.
Kruong–! Cuong–!
Procrastinate–!! Chop–!
Although he fought moderately against the monsters and absorbed them after hunting them.
“Um… If you really hand over my body, are you giving money to my family?”
“Yes, the donor’s body is essential for research that will be used by our pharmaceutical company. Of course, if in doubt, the company itself can send a lawyer to prove the contract.”
“Then… I’ll do it! Because I’m going to die anyway.”
“The donor is an excellent choice. As soon as the schedule is set, our person will come. Also, there will be no painful part in the process.”
Since the target of absorption was not limited to demonic beasts, there were also human abilities among those targets.
Rather, absorbing humans as targets was more convenient for Cheols.
There was no hunting process, and it was conducted for death row inmates who were scheduled to be executed voluntarily by the other side, or for those who were desperate for money, so it did not take much effort other than absorbing the anesthetized person.
Of course, processing to ensure that there is no follow-up was also thoroughly carried out with the system system of the operating pharmaceutical company.
Wriggle–! Gulp–! Gulp–!
“Her…”
As he was spending his days absorbing monsters and humans one by one, Cheols came to a realization.
“..Isn’t this almighty?”
The fact that the tentacle magic beast’s ability to absorb is not a simple technique like the Absorption Great Law or Life Drain from some novel.
Wriggle-..!
‘The only thing that increases when absorbed is experience and its characteristics! Mana is not absorbed at all…!’
Mana, the most important source of power, is not absorbed at all.
Only the experience gained from living the other person’s life and the characteristics of the race itself or the uniqueness of the ability they had were absorbed.
In other words, it only increases the skills that can be used.
It was no different from saying that pure mana, the energy required to use that technique, could not be absorbed.
In other words, it means that one’s own strength does not increase as much as the strength of the opponent who ate it.
‘Still, I’m getting stronger little by little because of the experience of using magic and my fighting sense…’
It wasn’t just jumping up a few stairs at once, but climbing the stairs one by one while digesting the experience gained, so the speed of getting stronger was so slow that after consuming abilities and monsters for a year, the level of improvement was only to the point that it went from a C-class monster to a B+-class monster. .
The b class were those who could be called elite in terms of their country’s population, which was ranked in the top 500.
‘Where do you rub with such fighting power!?’
For Cheols, who already knew the world’s most powerful players and was aware of the existence of the main villains to come, the b-class fighting ability was too insignificant.
Kurr..
Kwang–! Kwang–!
‘But… I don’t know how to fight, so there’s a place to use it!’
Pooh–! Crack–!
In a place where demonization developed and everyone became incapacitated, the difference between those who could use even b-levels and those without was very large.
[Bite it! I mean get rid of that ruler! ]
The religious leader shouts at Cheols’ propaganda.
Kurr..
Kee-ing… Knock-knock…
However, the shadow beasts, who had already been hit in the head by Cheols to such an extent that their jaws flew off once in a while, could not easily attack and surrounded Cheols, only letting go of the cries of the vigilance.
“You can’t even warm up with this.”
[ What?! ]
“If you don’t show off your skills a little more, I might be able to defeat you first?”
[ Profit!! ]
The teacher, who kneads Cheols’ neck and raises his strength with a shadow moving over a single word he spat out.
‘I’ll turn. I’m slowly losing strength.’
However, Cheols did not provoke the religious leader because he was genuinely relaxed.
Flinch… Flinch…
In fact, while fighting with demon beasts, considerable physical strength was consumed and it was not obvious on the outside, but the muscles inside the skin were ruptured, and regeneration using tentacle slime was in progress.
Of course, Cheols’s body is made of cloth, just a combination of the muscle fibers of many people.
Kreureung..
Wow..–!
Those shadow witches were connected to the cult leader and were receiving an infinite supply of magic power.
And the amount of magic power between Cheols and the cult leader was not comparable with simple figures.
‘I only get a very slight increase in mana when I absorb demon beasts, but the situation is different for that crazy fraudulent villain.’
Absorption of Cheols only absorbs experience and characteristics. On the other hand, the leader cannot gain the experience of the monster he ate, but the amount of magic power is transmitted intact and becomes stronger.
Even if both of them exert the same level of power, which is around the b-class, there is no choice but to widen the difference in the amount of magic attribute.
‘You must never appear complacent. As soon as I realize that this side’s level is just b+, I’ll just try to lose my stamina with those monster shadows.’
“Don’t just send these brutes, why don’t you attack them yourself? Or are you afraid to fight directly?”
[Are you scared? Do not be ridiculous! Because I haven’t even started yet! ]
Whoa–!
Caught up in Cheols’s provocation, the priest raised both of his hands as if to do something again.
“…!”
At that moment, Cheols’ eyes behind the broken glasses become more serious than before.
‘I don’t know since it hasn’t been long since I received power from the demon king over there..’
The scene of Baek Sang-hyeok, the main character, facing the religious leader for the first time in an unplayed game flashes through my mind.
‘..Basically, physical attacks don’t work for the leader.’
Wriggle–..!
‘When you cancel one skill and cast the next one, your body is exposed for a while!’
It plucks out one strand of each tentacle from under each foot.
Chiing..!!
It immediately increases the hardness of the tentacles and twists them into spirals to resemble springs.
“Huh..!!”
Chiyiying—
The moment when you press down with maximum strength on both feet and gather the jumping power for one leap.
Absolutely—!!
The shadows of the Witch Beasts scattered around melted like liquid and flew to the direction where the cult leader stood–
Shuwook—!!
Kwaaaaak–..!
On both sides of the pontoon and cape, two huge hands made of monsters united.
“..For a moment!?”
Seeing that, Cheols’s expression crumpled.
‘That’s not a new technique…’
[If the monsters’ attack doesn’t work right now… I’ll gather that power and deal with it! ]
Recycled original technology.
In other words, since no other technique was used, there is no exposure of the body!
-Cheeing—!
“Damn..!”
The force was already compressed in the tentacle springs under his feet.
Even if you release the tentacles in this state, your body will bounce off.
‘What if I back off again? How did I approach while beating the monsters…!’
If he retreats now, he will have an advantage over Cheols, who can’t do anything but melee combat, and the leader, who, unlike himself, can also engage in long-distance combat.
“Anyway… Where to retreat…!!”
-Quaang—!
‘Does not exist!’
With a roar like a bomb exploding, Cheols’ huge body flies toward the pontoon like a cannonball.
===========
I’m sorry-…!!
‘Quickly. Faster.’
–Wedge–!
“We have to hurry!”
Hiro continued to move his body while breathing heavily while holding the sword.
It’s a look that doesn’t seem to have the slightest composure like a crazy person who cuts off the beast and rescues someone in danger.
‘I have to save people quickly and help my dad.’
The reason is Cheols, a loving father.
Even at this moment, my heart was impatient with worries about Cheols, who was struggling to deal with the magic beasts’ pitching alone at this moment.
Haha..”
Dump.
However, contrary to his urgent mind, his body did not follow.
‘I have no strength in my body…’
There was little magical power that could be used due to the demonic realm developed by the leader, and the speed at which even the magic that was available was regenerated was too slow.
Originally, even after using the Overlord Sword’s technique 100 times, the amount of remaining magic power was only able to be used by squeezing out 1 time.
“Still… Almost got it…”
Let’s look around with blurry eyes.
The monsters that used to run around inside the entrance ceremony are now reduced in number to the point where you can only see corpses.
This was the result of running around ignoring the thank yous of those who saved them and the questions asking what the hell was going on.
‘I’m going to help my dad as soon as my mana is restored this time.’
Now, all that remains is the black monster, the owner of the demon beast.
“Whoa..”
That moment when I was gathering mana while arranging my breathing.
Cuong-!
“…!”
Hiro’s head turned quickly at the sound of the monster’s cry coming from somewhere again.
Tadak–!
Hiro climbs the stairs at once while strengthening his legs with magic.
Cuong–! Chiing– Chiing—
“Where a bastard wants to bite a person.”
Poo-wook! Puck–! Puck—! Puck—!
There was a scene in which a white-haired woman gave her headlock technique to the red wild dog beast, stabbed her eyes with her fingers, and struck her in the head.
‘.. Baekgu?’
The similar white-haired hairstyle reminded Baek-gu for a moment, but Baek-gu lost her mind and hid it under her podium.
Crucially, the red bloody white uniform worn by the woman and the cynical yet mixed-sexy tone of voice were completely different from those of Baekgu.
‘White hair, white eyebrows, blue eyes…’
That moment when Hiro stares at the woman’s face and thinks of something about her.
Bahak–! Crack..!!
“A tough guy.”
The woman who beat her to death with her fists until white brain fluid flowed out of her pierced dog eyes before she knew it, released the corpse of the wild dog’s beast and spat bloody spittle on her floor.
“Well?”
“Ah..!”
Soon after, the woman turned her head as if she felt Hiro’s presence, and Hiro exclaimed the moment he saw the woman’s face.
‘..This person is from a hundred families!’
White gray hair and sky-blue eyes.
The skin is also transparent white, and the color of the eyebrows is the same white as the color of the hair.
And somehow, the eyes looking down on the opponent also gave off a unique atmosphere of the Baek family.
“Um? Um. Um…”
A woman who repeated the same syllable while looking at Hiro without saying a word.. Miss White Paper moved her feet in her white boots and approached Hiro at once.
“You were the one who kept killing the monsters from below?”
“Ah..”
“But why are you shaking like this? Am I eating you?”
“Eh.. Uh..!”
Hiro was completely taken aback by the sight of the White Sea, unable to react properly.
‘Muh… I’m scared…’
As she faces Baek-seo up close, she thinks of the people of the Baek family who have spoken all kinds of words about her, and the forgotten trauma suddenly rears its head from the depths of her heart.
‘What if you take me back? What should I do if I get away from Daddy?’
“No.. No..!”
“I don’t like it..? What does he hate? Oh! Have you ever been bitten by a dog? Rabies?”
Recalling her past memories of being neglected and persecuted, Hiro fell into panic and muttered with her shoulders trembling. A sense of work as a doctor was activated and I tried to do a medical examination.
“Because my sister will take a look. Yes?”
She said, but getting close had the opposite effect.
Sreung-!
“Don’t come! Don’t come close to me!”
“Yaya! You! You hold out a knife to people?!”
In response to Hiro shouting, even holding the knife he was holding, Baek Seo-yang slashed the blade with her palm and shouted with a face mixed with resentment and absurd emotions.
“I… I’m not going back… I’m not going back…”
“Going back? Where? Calm down first..!”
When such a strange confrontation between a girl and a woman continues.
Quaang—! Aaaaang—!!
“…?”
“Bomb?”
A roaring noise caught the attention of Hiro and Miss Baekseo.
In front of the podium at the entrance ceremony, the source of the sound.
[ Why!! Why are you interfering!! ]
Booooong–!!
The appearance of the cult leader, a black monstrosity screaming hysterically and wielding a huge shadow fist sprouting from his cape.
Booung— Quaang—!!
“…”
A man who silently reached out and bumped into a shadow fist that was bigger than his own body.
“Don’t back down!! I can do it!!”
“Cheer up, bald man! You can’t lose!”
The students and their parents crowding around and cheering for them look like citizens cheering for a bloody battle between heroes and villains.
“..Dad..!”
As soon as he caught sight of Cheols, Hiro’s panicked face quickly brightened.
Tap-!
“Huh? Hey! Let me know how to use magic power!”
After that, Hiro runs towards Cheols and reaches out his hand to Hiro.
Whistle-
However, there was no way that the White Sheep, whose magic had been banned, could catch Hiro’s speed as he ran using magic.
“Bloody! Kids these days are real!”
In the end, Baek Seo-yang also came down the stairs of the seat and ran toward the podium.
