Chapter 187 – Chapter 187
He took off his glove and took out his left hand.
Its constitution is the same as mine, so even if it originally has no mana in its body, it can absorb any amount of mana from the currently synchronized target.
When you get these monster eyes, you’re done testing them.
As the monstrous tentacles that appeared suddenly approached, the one who stood centered as if to defend against all attacks instinctively tried to distance himself.
However, the guy’s movement without using thought acceleration was at the level of a turtle walking backwards compared to me with his brain sword.
In an instant, tiny tentacles wrapped around his entire body.
He struggled a few times, but he quickly calmed down after using some of the magic extracted from the goblins to kick him in the stomach with all his might.
Whether it was his body strengthening skill or iron wall defense skill, something that he didn’t know was neutralized at once.
Following is the natural sequence.
The mana he possesses is becoming mine.
“I-I can’t…”
“Did you finally open your mouth? I’m sorry, but it’s too late. We’re not supposed to talk, are we?”
Actually, there are not one or two things I want to ask him.
There are so many that I don’t know what to ask first.
But I know.
These guys don’t speak the truth easily.
So I’m not going to bother asking.
Now that I have already secured Baek Hwa-yeon, I don’t want to become complicated after hearing a story that is difficult to determine the authenticity.
Because if this guy dies, everything is over.
I just want to enjoy my late summer vacation quickly and without thinking.
“Kang Jeong-hyeok… What are you living for… What are you living to achieve?”
“What bullshit. Don’t talk and go quietly.”
“Don’t you think it’s strange? To have these abilities. Do you think it’s just a coincidence? No, we were chosen.”
“Yes. Congratulations.”
“…”
A cheeky child who dares to seduce anyone.
Do you think I can hum with just a few words like a vegetable?
“What is it? Is it over already? Get the other kids out too. Just before, there was a magician and a guy who became invisible. The guy who synchronized now has drained all his mana.”
“…I never thought I’d handle Gilgamesh’s eyeballs like this…”
“What?”
It seemed that he had already given up, and he tried to steal all of his magical energy before killing him.
However, a surprising statement that came out of his mouth.
Of course, you may have just learned the name through contact with the tentacle.
But he seems to know more than that.
Certainly, there are many suspicious things about this eyeball.
When I had time, I tried to visit government officials or Dr. Naburang, who had been in the research institute for a long time…
Should I pretend to be cheated and listen?
“Ugh… Keuuugh-!”
Before listening to his story, I first crushed both legs and arms.
It was easier said than done to just turn the bones into powder without seeing blood.
The man with no magical power was no different from a normal person, and blood gushed from his arms and legs that were crushed by my attack that failed to control his strength.
Still, he had to listen, so he used a rough heal to stop the bleeding.
“Even if I offer to save you, you won’t believe it anyway, but I’ll let you go without pain, so tell me more. About this eyeball. How far do you know what?”
The guy struggled.
After making me suffer like that, it seems that it is difficult to bear the pain inflicted on her body.
That said, he can never be brought back to the realm… What is this?
Should I just kill it?
I look down at the guy who groans on the cold cement floor like a bug.
So why did you make me your enemy?
A bad guy
“When do you kill a lot of people and do it in moderation?”
He had no choice but to use heel once more.
Compared to the mana sucked from him, this much isn’t even a loss.
“I was just going to kill you, but you took it out first. What about Gilgamesh?”
Haha… Good. I’ll tell you…”
I don’t know what the hell he’s going to talk about, but I waited in silence because I was curious.
The guy took a few deep breaths and tried to catch his breath before he opened his mouth again.
“There is one thing I would like to ask of you.”
I could feel the blood vessels squirm in my forehead.
Was this fucking bastard too?
“It’s going to be a long story. There may be stories you’re curious about in it, but…”
The bastard, not yet inside his glove, moved his gaze towards the dancing tentacles and my left hand.
Then he turned his gaze towards me.
“There may be some stories you don’t want to hear or are curious about, but please don’t stop me. I’ll tell you everything I know… It’s up to you to decide after listening to it. Kang Jeong-hyeok.”
Should I listen to this or not?
Listen to it once
The game has already been decided, and how long will it be at the most?
Because you don’t know what kind of trouble the eye in your left hand will cause in your future life.
Let’s take it as a precaution.
“I lost everything to the monster. Family, friends, everything…”
He started talking about his past out of the blue, and I kept listening to it, which I wasn’t even curious about.
It was an almost obvious story that is common in the world these days until I even got the ability.
As if listening to my story.
However, in the middle, there was something quite interesting.
No, it might be a bit shocking…
***
How many people did you kill yesterday and today?
I lifted the body, hoping it would be the last human I would kill.
The idea is to bury it in the ground somewhere inside the gate.
Colleagues are following right behind.
Vegetable Eun, who once blindly worshiped the death of an idol.
I don’t know if he’s doing it because he’s looking at me, or if he’s just fine now, but he’s keeping a poker face.
Rather, it was Park Yuri who reacted violently.
“Wait. Didn’t you hear about him?”
“We’ll talk about that later.”
I ignored Park Yuri’s words.
She will follow my plan. It was she who said it first, no one else.
The most urgent thing right now is to greet Baek Hwa-yeon, who was abandoned.
As for Baek Hwa-yeon, it was a choice I had no choice but to deal with.
Still, she was the one who said she came out of the gate.
It wouldn’t be a dangerous situation if you were waiting inside.
Moreover, since he had already reached the level of a transcendental being, nothing would have happened inside.
It’s just that his other colleagues might be waiting.
I made up my mind and stepped into the gate.
A wide expanse of land is spread out.
Vegetation is a very sparse looking stark environment.
However, a strange structure that goes against the field of vision comes into view.
It looks like it was made by humans… A factory?
“I was waiting…”
“I can’t see any other enemies, are there any hiding there?”
“No…Probably no one.”
“Okay.”
“…”
“Where are my family?”
Baek Hwa-yeon checked the corpse that was being held by me and showed a worried expression.
There was an ominous feeling in that expression.
“I… I don’t know. I was brought here today after being in a suspicious building… And if I don’t attack the team leader, my family…”
“I couldn’t find any device like a smartphone on his body. Have you seen anything to communicate with?”
“Yeah… I’ve been waiting here all this time since the blindfold came off… A little while ago…”
“Okay.”
It was the senior who intervened from behind with a voice that he did not understand.
Hong Eun-young also helped, and above all, Park Yuri’s expression is unusual.
“Are you sure this is their boss?”
“Yes. As someone who has fought in person, it’s clear to me.”
“But against a monster who produces Transcendentalists like a factory… Mr. Jeong Hyuk doesn’t have a single wound.”
“Eunyoung, would you like me to get hurt?”
“Oh, no! Why is the story like that. It’s just… Amazing… It’s so bland. Aren’t you waiting behind a bigger black hole?”
“Did you find out anything about the president’s whereabouts?”
Despite Park Yu-ri’s urging, I dug up the ground nearby and threw the body away.
And I plan to wait here for about an hour.
It’s because it’s something you don’t know if you’ll be revived or do.
I am now more sober and cautious than ever.
“About the story Mr. Park Yu-ri said… First of all, it seems like we’re all gathered, so I’ll talk now. About the last thing he said before he died.”
Everyone’s eyes are on me.
The expression of Baek Hwa-yeon, who still has not recovered her family, is obviously not good.
After sending her own younger brother as a spy, she has a similar expression to Chae-eun, who has not received a single call from her.
Less than a day has passed since I sent Chae Min-woo, so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about…
And lastly, Park Yu-ri, who is anxious to find the president.
I told her story very carefully, watching her reaction.
“That… The president.”
I don’t believe 100% of what I hear from him.
It may have been a trick to trick me before I die.
“I don’t know how reliable it is because it was said by someone who was about to die, but what I heard was this. The president was actually… A transcendent.”
