6 – Escaping in smoke
Poo-!
The fist plunged deep into the monster’s stomach. An explosion occurred in the monster who could no longer continue his life. Along with the blood and internal organs, the power of the little star that the monster possessed was also scattered around the world.
‘There is no end.’
There was no time to rest. I immediately pulled my body back and kicked the temple of the monster charging at me.
I left behind the stumbling man and caught the monster in front of him.
Kwajik!
The seat I was standing on cracked like pieces of glass. Gathering strength from the tips of his feet, he threw up the monster he had caught.
Whiik!
It was an insect-like cloud adorning the sunny day.
While it was still floating in the sky, I quickly put my hand on the belt and buckled it.
[DUBHE.]
A white ring formed on the belt, and it wrapped around my body without the slightest delay.
The green armor was dyed pure white, and claws that were sharp and rough like bear claws formed in both hands.
Dube.
It is the alpha star of Ursa Major and the first star of the Big Dipper.
This star, also called Cheonchu (天樞), is located closest to the North Star among the Big Dipper stars.
Tamrang (貪狼).
The power of this star, which is the best among the stars I have and which should control the vitality.
Ironically, it specializes in taking lives more than any other star I own.
[SET. Baek-woong Twin Leed Geuk (白熊雙雷據).]
I felt a tingling sensation in the growing claw. An electric current that could be seen with the naked eye began to flow through the sharp metal.
The white-green starlight gathered in my hands enough to fill and overflow, and while the power of this star gathered, countless monsters also came to my side.
Using his right foot as an axis, he rotated his body and swung the claws in both hands twice.
That power alone was enough to overturn the ground and turn rocks into powder. The bodies of the nearby monsters were torn apart by the wind pressure, and the monsters who were far away and couldn’t reach the proper radius were unable to put their feet on the ground and floated for a while.
But it didn’t end there.
Lightning began to flash in the place of the scratch.
Kwagwagwang—!
The white lightning gave death to the monsters who did not lose their breath without any mercy.
The smell of burns, blood, and the smell of destroyed buildings mixed together, creating ripples on the ground like throwing a stone into a lake.
A storm without rain that bloomed on land and a tsunami made up of waves of lightning.
Truly a disaster.
[Successful manifestation of Baek-woong Twin Lightning (白熊雙雷據). 40% reproducibility.]
Baekwoong Twin Leopard.
When the white bear raises its claws and claws, a huge lightning bolt strikes the spot.
It’s also an electric fly swatter to catch bugs.
As I glanced at the sight of the caterpillar-like limbs scattered here and there, I put my hand back on the buckle of my belt.
“There is still one left.”
A monster I had floated above my head earlier was struggling and falling.
It reverts back to its original green armor.
Bend over.
turn your back
point straight.
[SET. Reverse star.]
A dull green light was wrapped around his fist.
The monster fell, and I raised my fist.
upside down star. The monster’s body exploded with the starlight gushing toward the sky.
[Succeeded in manifesting reverse star. Recall rate 58%.]
Slowly, the battle began to get used to.
It meant that he had a sense of what technique to use at what time.
A person who was unfamiliar with fighting became proficient in two days. It is not only the excellence of the EN belt, but Han Jaejoong’s body must have played a part as well.
It is also the body that turned the violent group upside down when I was in middle school.
What a great power. I felt it once again.
It makes me think as much as I feel the power like this.
This power is dangerous.
The sense of danger swept over my body one step at a time, and the feeling of superiority was broken and scattered like waves blocked by rocks.
‘What if I use this power privately…’
It is too huge for an individual to own and use without restrictions.
Even if they tried to control it with the quest system, the coercion was extremely small. If you wield this power as you wish when the quest doesn’t open, who can stop it?
A poor, cold and hungry young man.
Legally, the belt’s random quests seem to have a long way to go to alleviate that affliction.
However, if you turn your gaze a little, the path to countless possibilities is open. Useful prey for violence is overflowing in modern society. All you have to do is go back to nature and recreate the law of the jungle.
‘Of course I won’t.’
You’re a monster at that moment. Ah, I must have beaten a magical girl already. Is being a monster all the same?
But it doesn’t matter because I still think of myself as not a monster.
Isn’t it important to have a mindset?
First of all, I don’t know what to protect as long as I’m called a guardian, but I have no intention of reaching out to those other than the quest target.
Why did I have to pretend to be serious with a magical girl?
No, wasn’t this kind of power supposed to be passed on to someone who was a little more just and had faith in power in the first place?
‘I trusted something and passed on the position of guardian.’
I’m going to die of madness because I don’t even have money.
I couldn’t guess the intention of the belt at all.
‘Look at how I can read my thoughts and keep my eyes closed…’
Are you guessing? It’s disgusting.
[You have defeated all monsters.]
Well, all these concerns are extravagant. Killing all the monsters because he is in a hurry to survive right now.
Those old Greek philosophers must have been able to think about philosophy because their slaves did all their work for them, so they had plenty of time and leisure. When you’re full after opening your back, aren’t you talking about bourgeois belching and talking about your essence and being a human?
For now, let’s just think about living. My nose is three cups, but I’m thinking about who I’ll protect. I’m starving to death.
Looking back, there was a magical girl’s display board.
The beauty that fills the heart just by looking at it. It was a bit different from when I was a fan.
‘They’ll at least get paid…’
Of course, as much as you risk your life, you should definitely get money. It was an object of envy to me now.
for a moment. No, it’s abuse to risk your life to fight monsters while receiving this much attention at your age.
He wouldn’t even have the help of a belt like me. If you go later, a monster with three stars will come out.
‘Who envied whom…’
Laughter leaked out.
Now that I think about it, they were people I should sympathize with, not envy.
“Not even pitiful.”
“What’s so pitiful about?”
what is an illusion Am I starving because I’m hungry?
‘This crazy…’
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a hallucination. There was definitely a magical girl there. It’s not just Red Vega, who just broke up.
“That’s a lot.”
Pink Deneb, Golden Aldebaran, White Davich. And…….
to Blue Sirius.
Came in very large groups.
The sight can be likened to a beautiful jewel box.
The cads who were fanning are lined up in a row. Overwhelming spirit. My throat chokes with joy and my hands tremble with fear.
The fearful lights that I can’t help but love that are infinitely close to the cursed jewels to me.
“Since when have you noticed?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t pretend.”
“…”
What do you notice? Since when have you been there? Belt, tell me something like this.
[Sensing a large number of magical powers around.]
why are you telling me now
It’s a world where nothing goes my way.
I forced myself to sigh and looked around with renewed focus.
‘no way….’
camera. Artificial light more threatening than any starlight.
Who wouldn’t be taking pictures of this scenery right now? Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.
“I warn you. You are now an S-class monster.”
“camera.”
“What?”
“Don’t you have a camera?”
As I interrupted Blue Sirius, who opened his mouth as if he represented them, I stuck to my words. I’m sorry, but this is related to human trauma.
It’s not something I’ve personally experienced, so why do I have to react so sensitively?
“Camera? Why is that?”
“…obvious!”
Red Vega replied to Blue Sirius’ question.
“That monster is now determined that he will win! He wants to broadcast the scene of us losing live on TV!”
I?
“Yeah? Really? I feel so bad!”
“He’s arrogant… he’s a funny guy.”
Why do you believe it all without question? Of course, he looks like a monster, but that doesn’t mean he’s an idiot with an inferiority complex who considers violence against others as a sense of superiority.
Rather, I was thinking until just now to eradicate this violence.
It’s unfair.
“That’s funny.”
I immediately objected.
“Why should I enjoy such trivial games?”
If I had a camera, I wouldn’t have said that.
Looking at the reaction, it seems that it was an emergency call that was fortunately not notified to the media.
There are no cameras.
I was so sure
In other words, it means that I don’t have to feel the panic boiling from the depths of the Danjeon. It’s horrific to imagine feeling the trembling fingers or dizziness you felt in the PC room again.
But if you stay here, people who have heard the news will come wandering around.
Seeing that the belt is also quiet, there are no additional quests, and there is no reason to confront the five magical girls here.
let’s leave urgently
“Hey you guys.”
“What, what is it. Is it coming right away!”
“Relax. Today’s purpose was not you.”
Just like yesterday, after another word of reassurance, I put my hand on my belt.
“What, what?! Don’t be funny. I’m not scared. Join me right now…”
“I heard that even a martial artist takes 15 days off after a fight.
no kid is crazy Yesterday and today, fighting right after? Even professional martial arts fighters won’t fight the day after they get knocked out.
Click. The sound of a buckle turning.
[ALKAID.]
Alkaid, the easternmost star of the Big Dipper.
One of the shapes of the Big Dipper interpreted in the East was virgins carrying coffins.
That’s why Alkaid at the end is equated with ‘the one who guides the coffin’. It was considered the most ominous star.
Yo (妖).
It is an ominous star.
Yo.
The most flickering star to the naked eye.
Alkaid’s power does not change its appearance.
It just secretly and mysteriously disappears like a flickering star.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
with a polite greeting.
A hazy mist spread widely. My body soaked in the fog became transparent and then reappeared repeatedly. The appearance of a flickering star.
After blinking like that, it hid itself in the fog.
alkyd.
An escape form that can only be used immediately after completing a quest.
**
“Whoa… It was scary.”
It felt like my heart was shrinking when the magical girls who were so spirited just by looking at one person glared at me as a group.
After all, escaping with smoke is the national rule!
Anyway, I managed to survive today.
‘It’s wild enough to survive.’
Is it only survival that you think about when you are given power that overflows?
He laughed at his own insignificance.
What is the ideal look I need to recreate? what should i protect
It’s like crying out for the joy of survival in modern society when you don’t know anything and can’t decide anything.
Even if I continued to worry about the collapse of the previous one, the conclusion was the same in the end.
No matter how much power you have, it is also true that such worries are all luxury now. Suffering is always a house that should be built on survival.
There is nothing to regret in the fight against the monster, so now is not the right time to agonize.
‘So let’s make a living foundation quickly.’
After that, you’ll have a bit more leeway. I can’t be happy because I’m not a hungry Socrates who can’t find a meal or a place to sleep.
The conclusion drawn from the clouded judgment in pain cannot be normal.
Where I went was the bank. I don’t know how much money I have in my pocket, but I came here because I was wondering if there was an account.
‘Because I haven’t been able to get it anywhere because of the quest.’
But wait, if it’s a quest, isn’t there a reward when you solve it?
If there is a price for non-compliance, there must be a reward for training.
You can ask Belt later. Once I pushed the door of the bank to check my balance.
rattle.
“Uh, what is it?”
Closed. Nonsense. Has the time already been like that? It won’t be the end of operating hours yet.
Around the time I felt that question, I saw a printed piece of paper attached to the side.
-Closed early today due to a monster raid nearby.
“Oops!”
I screamed like I was hit by someone. I have already been told that my card balance is insufficient, and I have less than half of 30,000 won left to pay for meals! You can’t even get into a motel with that!
Is homelessness confirmed today as it is today!!
You will see many stars.
Because there is no ceiling!
