Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 152
Only Noblemtl
Episode 152
The shadows are coming.
It was the shadow of people.
‘what……?’
Yeongsu was momentarily confused.
Because even though dozens of people were rushing at him, he didn’t feel even a hint of murderous intent.
Youngsoo looked at them.
Only then did I realize.
Who they are.
Why didn’t I feel alive at all from them?
‘Those guys… …!’
They were the addicts in the basement.
Addicts had no ego.
There is only something similar to a drugged, distorted ego.
That’s why I didn’t even breathe life into it.
Living is only possible through the will to kill the opponent.
But they had no will.
I’m just blindly following the orders of the person who gave me the medicine.
They were just rushing towards Youngsoo under Chuhyungin’s instructions.
Just like the guy who attacked Youngsoo with his eyes wide open earlier.
‘Tch… …!’
But they weren’t players or anything.
Just civilians.
Even if dozens or hundreds of such people came, they were not even a threat.
‘Kick it out.’
Yeongsu briefly put away the tip of his sword that was pointed at Hyung-in and aimed it at the people behind him.
‘The Great Stream Returns to Heaven!’
Strike with a sword and bounce it away.
The moment I thought like that and took the first step.
Gulp-
The bodies of the addicts who had been rushing in began to swell.
Her skin bulged like a balloon, her eyeballs popped out, and faint light began to leak out of her ears and mouth.
‘uh?’
The next moment, the addicts’ bodies exploded.
Kwaaaaang!
More than 30 human bodies exploded simultaneously.
It wasn’t at the level of simply exploding and dying.
It literally went off like a bomb.
Spreading tyranny, high heat, loud noise, and flashes of light in all directions.
It was an explosion of a different scale from the tsunami that occurred earlier.
An explosion so powerful that it is impossible to dispel it with swordsmanship or anything like that.
The impact was so strong that the asphalt on the road collapsed and stone walls broke apart.
An explosion so massive that you’d believe a bomb had fallen on the spot.
Hyung-in burst into laughter at the sight.
“Poohahaha! Ahahaha! Ahahahahaha!”
Hyung-in laughed happily as he took out potions one by one from his inventory.
“Hey, you idiot! Didn’t you know that humans can make wall bombs too?”
Hyung-in has been modifying the bodies of many addicts into wall bombs.
This is done with the promise of a steady supply of medicine as bait.
These transformed addicts became their brother’s loyal slaves.
This is because they provided the medicine free of charge and did not even explain what this body modification meant.
The mental breakdown caused by the drug also contributed to the enslavement.
As a result, he became a suicide bomber who threw himself at the sound of a single phone call from afar.
“Hoooooo… … .”
Hyung-in sighed and poured the potion on the wound.
Then I waited for the smoke from the explosion to clear.
Hyung-in was confident.
Yeongsu must have died or been buried.
When the smoke cleared a little later, that prediction seemed to be correct.
Easy-
Smoke rising from the surface of Youngsoo’s body.
A body charred black.
Carbonized skin tissue that falls off in crumbs.
It was a state where it was impossible to survive.
“at las……!”
Hyung-in collapsed to the ground as if his legs had given out.
“That freaking bastard… I finally caught him, for real.”
Hyung-in looked around the inside of the casino, which was in shambles.
It was a mess.
Everything he had built here was falling apart.
But Hyungin had no intention of rebuilding the fortress here again.
“Just rebuild it somewhere else, okay?”
It was a bit of a hassle, but it was something that could be done.
There were a lot of hotels in Korea anyway.
A new base can be created by occupying or seizing one of them.
The organization members simply had to raid and subdue a few other organizations and incorporate them under their control.
All of this was ridiculously easy.
Because my brother had ‘medicine’.
A drug that can control the human mind without much effort.
Only Hyung-in knew how to make this medicine, and he had already secured stock.
‘If I just take this medicine, I can get back on my feet any time.’
Thinking like that, Hyung-in got up from his seat.
This time, I turned around, thinking about where to open this business.
at that time.
Thud-
An ominous sound is heard from behind.
Hyung-in slowly turned his head and muttered.
“…no.”
He tried hard to ignore the ominous images that were running through his head.
But what was happening before my eyes was so clear.
“No, no, no, no… … !”
Thud.
This sound is the sound of a body that had been reduced to charcoal starting to move again.
Youngsoo was moving.
Hyung-in let out a scream.
“Yaaaaaaah!! Why!! Why aren’t you dead? Why!!”
Yeongsu said, moving his body that had turned into charcoal.
“I was saving it because I thought I would use it later… but you can’t do it.”
Yeongsu released the protective shield that was surrounding Hyeol-ok.
‘Blood Jade Seal, Release.’
Kiiing!
Blood jade began to restore Youngsoo’s body.
Youngsoo’s body was restored at a frightening speed.
The carbonized skin peeled off and new flesh took its place, the burns disappeared in an instant, and even the minor wounds were covered with white skin.
It took only a few seconds for the body, which had been on the verge of death, to return to that of a healthy, adult male.
My brother’s mouth fell open.
I’ve never heard of a recovery skill like that.
“… No, this can’t be happening.”
Hyung-in took a step back without realizing it.
“Why, why are you doing this to me… … ?”
“If that’s a really genuine question, I recommend just being reborn.”
Sling.
Yeongsu put away his dagger and pulled out his longsword.
The best weapon for using the bloodletting and bloodletting techniques.
Yeongsu swung his bloodletting sword.
wickedness.
Just a single thin red ray of lightning flew towards Hyung-in.
Hyung-in raised his sword and stopped him.
It wasn’t an attack that could be stopped by blocking it once.
Thud!!
Kwaaaaang!!
Hyung-in was unable to overcome the shock of the attack and fell through the wall.
“Ugh… … !”
“Get up. It hasn’t even started yet.”
Shh.
This time, two lines of slaughter.
Hyung-in stopped it this time too.
Of course, we already knew from the attack just now that it wouldn’t work if we just stopped it.
But there was no other way than to stop it.
Because Youngsoo didn’t give him any room to evade or counterattack.
Quagwagwa!
Hyung-in flew through several layers of walls again.
I could feel the extraordinary durability of the concrete wall with my whole body.
“Cough!”
My brother vomited blood from his mouth.
My stomach hurts.
One of my ribs was also out.
Then my whole body started shaking.
Muscle cramps caused by sudden shock.
The shock created by the blood-fueled attack was not something that could be endured from the front.
Thud, thud-
Youngsoo’s footsteps were getting closer.
Hyung-in began to speak in an urgent voice.
“Okay, wait a minute!”
“no.”
“Please!! If I die, the order of this city will collapse! Chaos, chaos will come!! Innocent people will start dying!”
“so?”
“Save me.”
Youngsoo almost laughed for a moment.
“You’re talking nonsense without warning. Are you asking me to spare your life now?”
“It’s not that I’m not at fault. But let’s think about it rationally. I’m the only one who can manage the security, administration, and currency circulation system of this city. If this order collapses, it’ll be chaos just like in the old days!”
“Money, yes, money. You brought it up well.”
Okay!
Youngsoo used a throwing knife to pick up a chip that was rolling on the floor.
These are the casino chips that they use as currency.
“It’s incredibly difficult to establish a monetary economy in a collapsed society. You have to give value to a currency that has no value in itself. That’s why I was quite surprised to see this chip being used as currency. I wondered how they did it. Now I think I understand.”
“what……?”
Sniff sniff.
Youngsoo put his nose to the chip and sniffed it.
It was a familiar smell.
The smell that emanated from throughout the casino.
And the smell coming from the rooms of drug addicts.
The chips smelled exactly the same.
What this meant was simple.
“They distributed the addictive drug by putting it on chips. Isn’t that right?”
“… … !”
“That’s why the monetary economy was established so easily. However, as this kind of currency circulates, people will become more and more addicted to drugs, and eventually, you will become your slaves. Because you are the only one who can make this drug.”
“this…….”
“I don’t want a world like that.”
I will prevent destruction and die an ordinary death in an ordinary world.
“You’re going to get it out of here today.”
“Kuhhhhhh… … .”
A hollow laugh escaped my brother’s mouth.
Where did it go wrong?
Isn’t this not right?
Why?
“… I was chosen.”
I, Chuhyung-in, am the strongest assassin in this world.
The only unique being that He personally acknowledged was me.
“I am a chosen human… …!”
“So that’s what it was.”
“… What? As expected?”
“Are you an apostle?”
apostle.
The moment those words came out, Hyung-in’s eyes shook uncontrollably.
Because it was something that had never been revealed to anyone that came out of Youngsoo’s mouth.
“What… what… … ?!”
“Apostle. A term referring to those chosen by the Holy See and supported by it. You are one of them. Right?”
“… … !”
Hyung-in froze in front of the information that was flowing out of Young-soo’s mouth.
Constellation.
A divine being that exists at the top of each class and is the one who created the class.
The skills possessed by each class were simplified and systematized to allow humans to use the power of that constellation.
Thanks to that, all players would automatically learn information about skills just by changing jobs.
Among the players who acquired this class, there were cases where the constellations would occasionally contact them.
And through some kind of contract, the player will receive the blessing of the constellation.
As a result, what you get are EX-grade skills with their limits lifted and some of the knowledge that the constellations possess.
The player who received the blessing of the constellation in this way was ‘Apostle’.
By the way, you can’t become an apostle just by being ‘moderately strong’.
Because only those who could withstand the burden of EX-grade skills and knowledge of the constellations could be selected as apostles.
In short, only the strongest within a given class could become an apostle.
It was by no means an unfounded boast that Hyung-in called himself ‘the strongest’ without hesitation.
“Constellations, apostles… why do you know that… … ?”
“Are you wondering why I know? I’m wondering why I never thought of it before.”
Constellations, Apostles, EX Skills, Blessings, etc.
This was information that Youngsoo already knew.
It’s just that I remembered it a little late.
It couldn’t be otherwise, because despite being stuck in the game for 50 years, I’ve never met an ‘Apostle’ even once.
All I did was by chance come across a document containing that information.
That’s why I never thought about the constellations even though I personally experienced my brother’s strange strength.
Youngsoo said.
“I guess I guessed correctly because you can see the eyes shaking.”
“this……!”
“What kind of a nobleman is your constellation? The assassin of assassins, the king of all assassins. A being that is the sum of all the legends of the assassins that have existed in history and mythology. Something like that, I guess?”
“… … !”
A constellation does not exist as an entity with a single name.
The same goes for the constellation of the killer.
Jing Ke, who attempted to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, Hassan-e-Sabah, who drugged his followers and controlled their minds to raise them as assassins, etc.
The constellations were born when the traditions of all these assassins came together and a divinity emerged.
That is why the constellations do not have names.
But that’s all Youngsoo knows.
I didn’t know more about constellations than this.
But the constellations definitely have some connection to this strange world.
So Youngsoo made a decision.
“Okay. I’ll let you live for now.”
“… … !”
“But in return, you’ll have to tell me everything you know.”
