Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 149

Episode 149

Youngsoo asked the man again.

“Whose finger are you talking about?”

“that…….”

The man pretended to be hesitant about answering and slowly reached out his hand behind his back.

It was to pull out the dagger he was carrying behind his back.

A look of nervousness was evident on the man’s face.

It had to be that way.

The subordinates were lying on the ground, covered in blood, and in the middle of them stood a man I had never seen before.

And this is a man with blood all over his mouth.

‘… Did you kill him by asking him?’

It was a scene that could only be seen that way at first glance.

That was half true.

At that moment, Youngsoo opened his mouth again.

“What’s in your ear? Whose finger are you talking about?”

“… I think you got the wrong person. I’ll go and see.”

The man put the knife back where he had been trying to pull it out.

Instinct was screaming.

Run away.

Otherwise you’ll die.

Swish-

The man slowly backed away, trying to leave the place.

Youngsoo took a step towards him.

One step, neither fast nor slow.

But the very next moment, Youngsoo was right in front of the man.

A movement that seems as if the intermediate process has disappeared.

“Eek… … !”

The man let out a shrill scream without realizing it.

And then he immediately turned around and ran away.

But Youngsu did not allow escape.

The man felt it.

Suddenly, my body felt like it was floating away.

“uh?”

bang!

The man was thrown straight to the floor.

Youngsoo grabbed the man by the back of his neck and pressed down on him as he asked.

“Is there a warrant on my finger?”

“Ugh… Yes… That’s right… … .”

“Is this a wanted poster for your representative?”

“Oh, that’s right… … .”

“Ha, really… I would understand if you just gave me my neck instead. But what, the finger?”

Yeongsu said with a sly laugh.

“You are completely eliminating the reason why I shouldn’t kill you.”

“That… that… … .”

Crunch.

Youngsoo hit the man’s head with his fist.

A sound like a hammer being pounded echoed throughout the room.

The man died, looking like a crushed beverage can.

Yeongsu absorbed their KP, blood, and spirit right there on the spot.

‘Karma Boost’ activated.

‘Bloodsucking’ activated.

Shwaaaa-

The red energy and red liquid were absorbed into Youngsu’s body.

After finishing the absorption, Youngsoo got up from his seat.

I looked around.

People who had been lying around drunk on drugs were still lying around in that place.

They didn’t even blink an eye as people died right before their eyes.

Even if the people in front of them had broken bones and were bleeding, it didn’t matter to them.

All that mattered to them was the puff of smoke they had just inhaled.

Jeobuk-

Youngsoo stepped out of the room.

Then some people started crawling towards the dead bodies.

They started to search through the dead men’s clothes, taking out medicine and chips.

They didn’t care whether the flesh and fluids of the dead got on their clothes or not.

All that mattered to them was the drugs to fill their pipes and the chips to buy them.

As he watched the addicts swarming like flies and searching the corpse, Yeongsu felt deep sympathy and disgust at the same time.

Looking at that sight, Yeongsu made up his mind once again.

‘You can’t just leave them alone, these guys.’

As the citadel’s territory expands, the number of such addicts will increase exponentially.

If left alone, it would be the same as allowing cancer cells to grow in size.

‘Today, this place ends.’

Youngsoo started walking quickly down the hallway.

at that time.

“uh?”

“It’s over there!!”

“That kid!!”

Sreung!

Kaang!!

Men in suits came rushing in from the other side of the hallway.

All of them are after Youngsoo’s fingers.

Youngsoo muttered.

“You’re fighting a swarm of assassins in a narrow hallway? Are you guys tall?”

Well, it wasn’t so bad if the opponent was of the same height.

Youngsoo walked straight towards them.

The speed was not reduced.

He didn’t even lift a knife.

That moment when the distance between us became somewhat closer.

“Oh, by the way, you guys came here to get this, right?”

chuck.

Yeongsu said, spreading out both his hands in front of them.

“Cut it somewhere and go.”

“Yaaaah!!”

One of them ran ahead and rushed towards Youngsu.

The bastard’s weapon is a longsword.

And his KP is 4.

Thanks to that, Youngsoo was able to launch an attack without any hesitation.

Ssak!

Yeongsu then dug into the gap between the long swords in one breath.

Sigh.

I poked the bastard in the forehead with the tip of my index finger.

My fingers sank into the pudding like chopsticks dropped into it.

The bastard stopped moving.

Youngsoo said.

“What are you doing? I gave you the finger. Aren’t you going to take it?”

“Ugh… Ugh… … .”

Bbok-

Youngsoo pulled out his finger.

The bastard’s body fell backwards.

Those behind saw a hole in their comrade’s forehead.

Also, Youngsoo’s fingers were covered in blood.

That alone was enough to tell me what had just happened.

“This crazy… … !”

“Come at once!!”

But this is a narrow hallway.

The worst place to launch a joint attack.

A space where one-on-one combat is forced.

And Salsu was a class specialized in one-on-one combat.

As soon as the battle began, the ending was practically decided.

dump-

Crunch!

One by one, they fell into the hands of Yeongsu.

A sunken face, a broken neck, a ruptured internal organ, or a punctured vital point.

They died with their respective signatures tattooed on their bodies.

And throughout the entire battle, Youngsu did not hold any weapon.

He didn’t even use the holy sword on his waist.

Just bare hands.

There was no intention behind being bare-handed.

I just didn’t have to carry a weapon, so I didn’t.

The physical gap was so overwhelming that there was no difference between holding a weapon and not holding one.

So it was a battle, but it wasn’t a fight.

It was a one-sided oppression.

In an instant, the players in the castle were scattered in a mess.

It was so miserable that you’d believe a train had passed through this narrow corridor.

Shwaaaa-

Youngsoo absorbed the blood and KP from the dead.

The end of the hallway we reached.

There was a staircase leading up to the upper floor.

However, the door leading to the stairs was tightly locked.

Youngsoo knocked on the door.

Knock, knock-

It was an iron door, but no sound was heard even when I knocked on it.

It meant that the door was made of a solid block of iron.

“I invested a bit in the door.”

It was actually a door made of the same material as bank vault doors.

This basement is where all the dirty things of the castle are stored.

That’s why it was necessary to seal it with such a strong door.

And Youngsoo needed to go beyond this door.

Yeongsu grabbed the doorknob and activated the skill.

—-

[Skill] ‘Unblocking’… … .

—-

“No, there’s no need to waste mana.”

Youngsoo stopped activating his skills.

Instead, I just grabbed the doorknob and pulled it with all my might.

Ttagan!!

The door was ripped off with a loud crash.

The locks were all twisted and broken.

I just pulled it.

The power that exceeded the limit was no different from the art of dissolution.

Kkie-

Youngsoo opened the door and went up the stairs.

Surprisingly, there were no attackers coming from the stairs.

Yeongsu climbed the stairs without any disturbance.

And another door appeared at the end of the stairs.

But Youngsoo stopped right in front of the door.

Because something suspicious was caught in the echolocation.

“This is it.”

Transparent wire installed at ankle height.

The identity of this structure was obvious.

‘Booby trap.’

If I had passed by without knowing, I would have just stepped on it.

Of course, even if I knew, nothing would have changed.

Tub.

Because Youngsoo stepped on the wire on purpose.

At that moment.

Dingdong-

A delightful bell rang from beyond the door.

It was a signal.

The signal that the players waiting beyond the door were waiting for.

“Shoot!”

The wizards waiting beyond the door simultaneously fired their magic toward the door.

Tightly packed fireballs and sharply pointed lightning flew in.

Quagwagwa!!

Direct hit.

The door has completely evaporated.

And the fireball and lightning definitely struck Youngsoo beyond the door.

It just didn’t do any damage.

“A shield… … ?”

A golden, circular protective shield surrounded the spirit.

It was activated by the holy sword that was worn on his waist.

“What the heck… … !”

The wizards hurriedly chanted the next spell.

But the speed at which the iron needle flew was faster than the casting speed.

—-

[Skill] ‘Chain Throwing Shot’ activated.

—-

Pooh book!

The iron needles that Youngsoo had thrown were accurately embedded in the neck and forehead of the two wizards.

“Ugh… … .”

“Ugh… … !”

thud!

The two wizards fell to the ground.

The equipment they were holding also fell to the floor.

A staff, a wand, and a glass ball with a deep blue tint.

Degururur-

Coincidentally, the dropped marble rolled to Yeongsu’s feet.

“oh.”

Youngsoo picked up the marble.

And then he quietly looked at the beads with a look of delight in his eyes.

Youngsoo knew what this bead was.

Brain prison.

It was an item that could store brain-attribute mana in advance and increased the casting speed of brain-attribute magic.

Of course, it was an item exclusively for magic classes.

Because it was originally an item that was unnecessary to the person who bought it.

But now it was different.

Phage support-

Yeongsu pulled out the brain-attribute mana from the brain prison and gathered it onto the palm of his other hand.

A round lump of electricity floated above my palm.

The players who were rushing towards Youngsoo stopped moving for a moment.

“What is he doing?”

“Didn’t you say I’m going to kill you?!”

Youngsoo answered.

“It’s a murder.”

Whoosh!

As he said that, Youngsoo threw a ball of electricity into the air.

“But it’s a little different from the Salsu you know.”

Yeongsu lowered his outstretched fingertips from top to bottom.

“Fall.”

The mass of electricity floating in the air suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning and struck down.

Kwarung!!

Lightning struck indoors.

Loud noise, shock, flash, electric shock.

“Ugh… … !”

“Ugh… … .”

“Crunch… … .”

Most of the players gathered here fainted and fell to the floor.

“Oh, my, it’s completely discharged.”

Just now, all the brain-attribute mana stored in the brain prison was depleted in one room.

Yeongsu threw the brainwashing pill into his inventory and looked around.

From those who were turned to charcoal to those who simply fainted.

The conditions of those who fell varied.

But what was important was not those who fell.

Even in the midst of all that, there were those who held out without a single scratch.

Youngsoo muttered while looking at them.

“We meet again.”

Five people stand unharmed after being struck by lightning up close.

They were all familiar with Youngsoo and Gumyeon.

These are the people you encountered at the entrance to this hotel.

Youngsoo said.

“Why? Did you come here to say hello again?”

“This kid… … .”

Kigging-

Ki-gi-gi-gi-gi

The five each drew their weapons.

Yeongsu said after seeing that.

“You’re still going to attack me after seeing my skills, right?”

Youngsoo was feeling it.

Those five are much stronger than the other players in the castle I’ve fought so far.

A keen sense that can detect Youngsu’s presence and a defensive ability that can withstand being struck by lightning.

To deal with these guys, I needed to get a little more serious.

Sling.

Yeongsu pulled out his sword.

* * *

2 minutes later.

“Gasp, gasp, ugh… … !”

A man ran out of the hotel, breathing heavily.

The whole body was covered in blood.

He was one of the five who had attacked Youngsoo a moment ago.

‘That kid is totally crazy… …!’

He gritted his teeth as he recalled his fight with Youngsoo.

This was my first time dealing with an opponent like this.

All attacks flew in relentlessly, targeting only the weak points and vulnerabilities.

A sword not meant to defeat an opponent, but only to kill.

A sword of murder that is so thorough and obsessive that it almost seems perverted.

Four of his comrades were instantly slaughtered by that sword.

The best he could do against such a leader was to run away.

Ironically, the very fact that he was able to escape was proof of his strength.

‘I have to run away.’

It’s a finger, a bounty, and a blade.

At that moment, I thought I had to get out of here as quickly as possible.

“Where are you going?”

“Yes, sir?”

A ghost appeared in front of him.
