chapter 32
second
All of the opponent’s patterns were the same as they were in the past and memory.
The shuriken-shaped shadow flying from the left is cut off with the fist of the right hand and thrown away, and the sign of the attack fluttering under the feet activates [Negative].
Trampling it with your left foot and cutting it off.
Soon, Yoo Yeong-tae shoots out dozens of shadows as if he was overcome with evil… … Because the intention to drive them into a corner was clearly visible.
At first glance, I move to the right, step on the bookshelf on the wall, and go back to the center.
Got the card!
The following [Shadow line] floats into the air and turns to nothing, but due to the nature of the technique, ‘the last line that cannot be avoided’ takes out the dagger at the waist and cuts it off.
If that’s the case, the next thing is a blade that rises from close range.
It’s on top of the desk anyway.
swish-!
Only the sound of cutting the air was impressive, but there was nothing threatening when the tip of the chin was slightly turned.
After that, while trying to figure out the internal situation by repeatedly collecting and distributing [Beginner’s mental movement], a long-awaited signal suddenly comes in.
The telekinesis that was evenly distributed throughout the study was cut off tick by tick by someone else’s interference.
Since the other person did not have the same type of ability, it was clear that it had an effect in the process of gathering power.
yes.
It is [Shadow Firecracker], the awakening period.
In response, I also gathered my superpowers in my left hand.
[Muscle tissue control], [Reverse flow], and [Negative] are three in total.
Among them, [Return] was the first time I used it in real combat, so I lowered my expectations, so I decided to use [Negative] as the main attack method.
For reference, [Unholy] is a top-level skill in terms of mental defense and a medium-level skill in terms of physical destructive power.
On the other hand, [Shadow Firecracker] was an awakening period that focused on physical destructive power, so it was correct to say that it was about half a grade above.
Therefore, it was somewhat uneasy to face it head-on, but there are times when you have to take risks without being able to avoid it.
Abandon any hesitation and prepare for a counterattack.
I had to aim for the timing of the firecrackers going off.
Swoop, Pak!
Immediately, even before [Beginner Psychokinesis] informed me of the movement of the shadow, footsteps echoed first.
Correspondingly, my right foot takes a big step.
The path Yoo Young-tae chose was the front.
Perhaps because he was overflowing with confidence in his abilities, he rushed forward with dozens or even hundreds of shadows compressed on his right arm.
It wasn’t too difficult to straighten the elbow of the left hand that had been bent back, and cross the blow between the two sides.
And.
Results change in an instant.
Deuk deuk, boom!
When my opponent’s right hand and my left collided, I felt the shadow stems extending in all directions for a while.
In an instant, there were dozens of things flying towards me.
He tried to protect his vital organs with his right arm, but he could not avoid minor injuries to his left shoulder and both forearms.
Even though the first collision was endured through [denial], and the group of shadows that followed were sent back through [reflux], this much.
The piercing-resonating bones and muscle tissue of the left hand are a bonus.
However, it is also true that [Return] played a role beyond expectations, and a low moaning sound resounded in the darkened room immediately after the collision.
“Cool!”
“… … .”
“… Hee hee, hee.”
The direction Yoo Young-tae’s voice came from was on the right.
Presumably, it seemed that it was swept away by its own power and flew to the bookshelf.
If you think about it, it wasn’t even strange.
The number of shadows sent back at the last moment was estimated to be over a hundred. Even if you were lucky enough to avoid a fatal blow, it would be impossible to go into battle again.
Accordingly, I contemplate that the compatibility between [Negative] and [Return] seems to be quite good, and I strive to restore the [Beginner’s Psychokinesis] that was torn by the shadows earlier.
It was forbidden to be careless until a series of situations were concluded.
drooling.
Then, after confirming that he was exhausted, he approached the study entrance and pulled the thick iron door.
late night.
The sunlight had disappeared, and the only lighting would be fluorescent lights in the corridor, but opening the door was enough to drive out the darkness in the darkroom.
It’s not like it’s not, starting with a silhouette, the scene of the study is revealed.
Torn shreds of paper, dust, and broken furniture caught my eye one after another.
In addition, the comfort of the chairman… No need to check.
<I suffered.>
“… … .”
If you were killed or injured, the mission failure message would have already popped up.
<Sooner or later, people with firearms will come up. You must have finished it on time.>
“… It’s not over yet.”
<Huh?>
I did it to the parrot, but the old man crawled out of the corner, overheard the words, and stood tall.
But anyway, because it wasn’t wrong.
I move my steps again and approach the right side, where he is lying.
Yoo Young-tae.
The author, whom I had worked with several times in my previous life, was half-buried in a pile of books, coughing up blood.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“… hehehehe, hehehe.”
“… … .”
There is no other answer, so let’s take a closer look at the appearance… I have a strange feeling.
A head shape with no strands of hair, a short stature, and a younger face, similar to but different from the previous life.
Looking back, I’ve been with this person about 3 times.
Bounties, plundering food transport vehicles, and even storming Vladivostok’s walls. His personality was the same crazy guy back then, but his ability was certain.
That was the problem.
It means that I know the other person’s abilities and ulterior motives too well.
‘I also killed Liu Wei with my own hands, hee hee. When I was careless, I stabbed him and sent him to the underworld.’
‘A tanker? how?’
‘… corrosion. by shadow erosion. It’s kind of like body snatching, it’s a physical skill.’
‘… … .’
‘Did you pay the price for saving your life with this? hee hee hee.’
Yes.
In exchange for saving the life of a murderer and lunatic, I was staring at even the final secret trick.
[Shadow Erosion]
This is an ability that can only be activated through physical contact.
“I know you’re sober.”
“… Hee hee, I heard you.”
Even now, the unusual twinkle in her eyes seemed to be aiming for the moment when she could touch my body.
should i kill
To questions you don’t have to worry about, answers fly from the bird’s head.
<Don’t be stupid. Of course you have to kill it. It’s stupid to sympathize with those who are against you. If that’s the case, pity yourself.>
“… … .”
Do you have the ability to read thoughts?
Read from noble mtl dot com
My beak is sore today.
At the same time, several memories from the past caught my eye… I decided to give it one last chance.
The cost of robbing the convoy of beer, infiltrating into the barrier and helping to save his comrades- plus the price of an unfair fight.
“This is my last offer. go away.”
“… … ?”
“Go away.”
It was only for a while that the smile disappeared at the sudden proposal.
Yoo Young-tae accepted the offer with a smile on his face.
“Hee hee, today’s bad luck is good. Good bad, bad good.”
“… … .”
After that, I’m trying to get up from my place.
There were several puncture wounds in the thighs and abdomen, and there were not a few other injured parts, so the body was staggering.
That bird, the parrot, made it clear that it did not understand my choice.
<Do I really have to do this?>
“… … .”
<You know you won’t accept it anyway. isn’t it?>
“… right.”
The moment I readily accepted it.
Sure enough, the short man suddenly raised his head and revealed his black pupils.
yes.
I was going to give it a chance, but I knew it would end up like this.
* * *
Shadow Swallow, Yoo Young-tae grabs the boy’s wrist.
“Hee hee, hee hee hee. Got it.”
“… … .”
Seeing as if he had gone out of his mind at first sight, the chairman narrowed his brows, and suddenly a black liquid flowed down his hand.
And soon, it even covered the entire right arm of Lee Yong-soo.
Is there even a faucet running?
Both of them are sheep, and unlike the previous [Shadow], the appearance of the point feels ominous. Just in time, the incumbent villain’s comment followed.
“What I like is stealing, harassing and killing. And this time to kill.”
“… What have you done?”
“hehehehe.”
“I won’t ask what you did!”
At the fearless shout, Yoo Young-tae meets the old man’s eyes.
Let’s see, it seemed that he could bully and kill at the same time.
“hehehehe, you are my grandson.”
“… … .”
“But what can I do, he’s done. I ate.”
“… Do you think you can return alive and well?”
In the meantime, the footsteps of the special riot squad resonate near the corridor on the third floor.
No matter how much a person with 5th grade ability, he only used [Shadow] to block the bleeding area, but he was never in a normal state.
The villain’s play ended here.
“Unfortunately, you are right. I have to go.”
“… … .”
“But before that-”
One after another, tuk-tuk.
Yoo Young-tae tapped the boy on the cheek a couple of times, and then created a shadow blade on one of his fingers.
“Should I give you what you hold dear? I say ‘The Great Sword’.”
“… There are bearer bonds and a maritime logistic license in the safe.”
“Ha, you didn’t even budge earlier?”
If I had had a little more time, I would have been able to make all sorts of puns against the chairman.
After putting away his regretful heart, he found the most precious thing.
In other words, cut off the nape of the grandson’s (?) neck.
No, I was going to draw it.
“Cool-luck, k-weee
“… … ?”
Suddenly, a huge amount of fresh blood poured from the muzzle of the intruder, and the old man was puzzled, not knowing why.
Then, suddenly, a dry voice intervenes and clears up the situation.
“Stupid bastard.”
“… you you!”
“You should have considered the reaction.”
I tried to open my mouth to say what Lee Yong-soo’s advice was not, but due to the reaction of destroying [Shadow Erosion], only blood came out again.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I didn’t have time to wonder anymore.
snap-!
Right after Yoo Young-tae was dragged by the boy’s collar, when his forearm tightened his breath, he instinctively put up a final stand.
[Shadow], [Shadow], [Shadow].
But what changes… there was nothing.
“… … !”
“… You shouldn’t have run away when given the chance.”
It took a while for me to struggle one more time at the whisper in my ear.
Crunchy!
The former villain ends all situations by twisting the neck of the current villain.
For some time after that, there is only terrible silence in the room, but only when the SWAT team arrives right in front of the entrance, the words are carefully opened.
“… Your eye color is unique. Is this a newly awakened skill?”
“Yes.”
Half lie, half truth.
Lee Yong-soo replied as he had learned from the chairman.
In fact, it is a clue that leads to specialized abilities [inherent areas].
[Exclusion] was forcibly opened.
