Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 70

Episode 70
Blood transfusion, blood transfusion, blood transfusion.
There were very few people who could get up right away after getting these three points hit at the same time.
At best, it would be possible to achieve this only by reaching the ranks of the Heavenly Horse, Blood Horse, or Demon King.
That’s why Carlton, who got up right after being hit with these three bloods in succession, couldn’t help but think that he had done something.
‘Is it the Golden Ring?’
Did you wake up after removing the acupuncture point by using the physical strengthening effect of the Golden Ring?
No matter how much Youngsoo thought about it, there was no other way.
It was actually correct.
‘But how?’
Carlton took the entire gold ring he had in his pocket and burned it.
Even if he had the Golden Ring somewhere else, there was no way to take it to his mouth while his body was paralyzed by the blood poison.
So the remaining possibilities are… … .
‘I’ve had it in my mouth from the beginning, that’s all.’
But was there any space in the mouth where the golden ring could be hidden?
The diameter of one gold ring is a little over 1 cm.
It’s quite large to hold in your mouth.
If you were holding a marble of this size in your mouth, you would definitely have trouble pronouncing words.
But when I think back on my brief conversation with Carlton, his pronunciation wasn’t particularly slurred or muffled.
A place where you can hold something in your mouth without affecting your pronunciation.
‘Teeth.’
Just as spies during the Cold War hid cyanide in their implant teeth, Carlton had a piece of the Golden Ring hidden inside his artificial molar.
The moment he was overcome by the bloodshot eyes, he must have chewed on those teeth and consumed the Golden Ring.
And Youngsoo’s guess was, again, correct.
But Youngsoo’s reasoning didn’t stop there.
‘The size of the teeth is too small compared to the size of the entire gold ring.’
In other words, only a part of the gold ring can be contained inside the artificial tooth.
Even if you consume the amount of one tooth’s worth of Geumhwandan, you will only be consuming about 20% of the amount of a complete Geumhwandan.
Of course, this problem can be solved by implanting several artificial teeth into the gums… … .
‘I don’t think they would have picked that many people for the emergency gold ring.’
So, we can conclude that Carlton is trying to counterattack by consuming a very small amount of emergency gold ring to relieve Young-soo of his bloodshot eyes.
A very small amount of gold.
This fact was important.
Because the duration would have been drastically shortened compared to when you ate a full gold ring.
And the Geumhwandan temporarily and rapidly weakens the user from the moment its effects wear off.
‘That means the time you can fly is extremely limited.’
In such a situation, there is only one path that a prosecutor who has taken Geumhwandan can take.
Ending the duel in a short fight with a one-hit kill stance.
‘That guy will definitely pull out his strongest technique.’
If you try to cook your opponent clumsily, the effect will wear off and you will die instead.
Of course, this situation was not entirely advantageous for Carlton.
Since the opponent will definitely attack with a finishing move, there is no way that it will be advantageous.
But what if you already know the identity of your opponent’s ultimate skill?
And what if you even knew how to destroy that ultimate skill?
‘Running away is the way to go.’
If Carlton had consumed the entire Golden Ring, Youngsoo would have decided to run away immediately.
Are you afraid you won’t be able to kill me?
No, I was confident I could kill him.
I didn’t have the confidence to capture him alive.
But now-
‘There is a chance of winning.’
Tub.
Yeongsu held the handle of a pair of twin swords with both hands.
Holding a dagger with both hands was a posture that Youngsu rarely took.
That meant that in order to receive Carlton’s blessing, Youngsu had to become serious as well.
Carlton started swinging his sword.
Passing by the insane spectacle of a building being diced and torn apart, with catastrophic damage pouring down like rain.
The moment has finally come.
‘Coming.’
Carlton’s highest level skill, his ultimate skill, the Moon-shaped Slash.
This massive slash spreads out like a full moon, and unlike normal slashes, it rotates and expands at high speed.
Cutting down everything it touches.
It would be virtually suicidal to face this technology head-on.
But there was no way that a swordsman of Carlton’s caliber would have used this technique when his opponent had a chance to dodge.
I had to accept it.
From the front.
And Youngsoo was confident.
Because I remembered it with my body.
The rotation speed of that fatal blow.
Shhh!
Spinning blade.
Yeongsu spun his body at the same speed as Wolhyung’s sword and rushed towards the sword.
The rotating blade and the rotating spirit’s sword tips meshed like gears.
No more slaughter could cut down the spirit.
It just rotates and interlocks with the receiver.
After a while, when the duration of the moon-shaped curse ended.
Youngsoo’s spinning blade didn’t stop.
Rather, the spinning slash, which had been extremely accelerated by the moon’s power, rushed straight towards Carlton.
and.
Shukak!
Youngsoo drew a diagonal line across Carlton’s upper body.
Deep enough to not just kill you.
dump!
Carlton knelt down.
The game is over.
But Youngsoo didn’t stop there.
‘If you’re going to do it, do it thoroughly.’
wickedness!
Yeongsu took out the poisoned sword from his inventory and stabbed Carlton’s body.
This is also shallow enough that you won’t die from addiction.
Thud!
Then he put his hand into the bastard’s mouth and grabbed his lower jaw.
To prevent chewing on any other implants that may be present.
Carlton didn’t even have the strength to bite Youngsoo’s finger that entered his mouth.
This is because the efficacy of Geumhwandan was quickly wearing off.
And Youngsu also confirmed that fact through his blood transfusion skill.
“… I really got you, you little shit.”
Operation to capture and kidnap an archbishop-level priest.
It was a success.
* * *
At that time, in the underground warehouse of the Wild Shopping Mall.
There, heated labor was in full swing.
Wild players and elves were kneading a pile of black powder on the table.
An unidentified black powder mixed with unknown ingredients.
It was a wall-crawling bomb lining that Youngsoo had personally measured and mixed the ingredients.
As the elves poured ‘black mana’ into the powder and absorbed it, the players next to them kneaded it and made it into round balls.
They’ve been doing that for hours now.
“…How long do we have to do this?”
“There are still more than ten batteries left, so be quiet.”
at that time.
Clink-
The warehouse door opened and Youngsoo came in.
With a huge object slung over his shoulder.
Gap-seok, who was making rice cakes, asked Yeong-su.
“What is that?”
“Archbishop Carlton, Vice-Captain of the Battle Priests.”
“… … !”
The hands of the elves who were working stopped all at once.
“Carlton… … ?”
“That monster… … ?!”
“The kidnapping was really successful?!”
Everyone approached Youngsoo and checked Carlton’s face.
It was the real Carlton.
Except that his whole body was covered in blood and he had a bullet in his mouth.
“Carlton, why… … .”
Among them, Swaus’s voice was the most trembling.
Youngsoo said.
“Lee Gap-seok, Swaus, follow me. And the rest of you, just work a little harder.”
Gap-seok and Swaus followed Young-soo with strangely happy expressions on their faces.
I thought anything would be fine, as long as it weren’t for this tedious kneading process.
And I was also curious what to do with that Carlton guy.
Cheon Yeong-su, Lee Gap-seok, Swaus, and the kidnapped Carlton.
The four entered the room that Gapseok used as a treatment room.
Empty.
Youngsoo laid Carlton down on the operating table and tied him to it.
An operating table covered in unicorn skin.
The purifying properties of the leather made it possible to perform sterilization procedures on this operating table without any special measures.
Yeongsu said to Gapseok.
“Gapseok, give him some healing.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Just enough to not die. If you die, the ‘mark’ can’t be removed.”
“Ah, a sign. Yes, that’s right.”
Gapseok gave Carlton just enough healing to survive.
A moment later, Carlton opened his eyes.
“Ugh… … .”
Carlton’s gaze moved from the ceiling to the walls, to the people, and then to the elves.
“S… s… …”
“That’s right, Carlton.”
Carlton’s eyes shook violently as they met Swaus’s.
“Da, you, how… …!”
“How come I’m not in prison, but outside? Interest saved me.”
As he said this, Swauss pointed to Youngsoo with his eyes.
“My own people framed me and threw me in prison, but a man from another race came to my rescue. Can you imagine how that feels?”
“… … .”
Swauss’s tone was sharp, yet there was a certain loneliness to it.
And there was a certain pity and sympathy in Swaus’s eyes as he looked down at the mangled Carlton.
Is it simply an instinctive feeling of sorrow at seeing one’s compatriots so badly injured?
That wasn’t the case.
In the first place, any love for the elf race had long since evaporated from Swaus’ heart.
However, the reason he looked down at Carlton with bitter eyes was because Carlton had been his direct disciple in the past.
He was also Swaus’s most beloved disciple.
“S, Master… … .”
“I didn’t want our reunion to turn out this way.”
Swath rolled up his sleeves, revealing his bare hands and forearms.
“I’m sorry, Carlton. I need to get the ‘mark’ back from you.”
“Master, that is a mortal sin… … !”
“It was originally my mark. And the moment I escaped from prison, I had already committed a great sin. No matter how much dust settled on top of dust, it would be no different.”
Swath lifted Carlton’s shirt, exposing his stomach.
And he stretched out his five fingers like a sword.
Swaus’s next move was to retrieve the mark by thrusting his sharpened fingertips into Swaus’s stomach.
But Swath hesitated.
It was because he felt some hesitation about harming his own disciple.
Youngsoo also noticed something like that.
‘I guess I should take it out now.’
Yeongsu opened his inventory and took out the sword he had kept inside.
I’m talking about the longsword that Carlton wielded.
“Oh, that’s right. Swauss, I stole this from Carlton.”
“what?”
Swaus’s eyes shook violently as he saw the longsword that Youngsoo handed him.
Swauss snatched the longsword away as if he was fishing.
“This, this is… my sword… … !”
Swath turned his gaze to Carlton.
A gaze that was completely devoid of sympathy and pity, and filled with murderous intent.
Carlton looked away.
Swauss asked tremblingly.
“Why was this sword in your hand?”
“… … .”
“… Were you really using this sword?”
“… … .”
“Tell me! Did you use this sword!!”
“I just kept it! After the Master went to prison, I just kept the weapon that the Master cherished as a disciple!”
“But why is the order broken?”
“… … .”
Carlton kept his mouth shut.
“I had placed a spell on this sword so that no one but me could draw it from its scabbard. But now I see that the spell has been completely broken. Was it you?”
“… … .”
“Were you that greedy for this sword?”
“… … .”
“… Were you the one who leaked my research data?”
“Puhhhhhh… … .”
Finally, the puzzle began to come together in Swaus’s head.
A person who knew the details of the research that Swauss was secretly conducting.
Someone who knows the location of those research materials and can leak them to frame Swaus.
And the one who will benefit the most from Swauss’ imprisonment is…
The one who will inherit the famous sword of Swaus, the title of Swaus, and everything else.
“Carlton, come to think of it, there’s no one else but you.”
Swauss bit his lower lip hard enough to draw blood.
“… I still hoped that wasn’t the case.”
“I didn’t want you to turn out like this either.”
“Why did you do that?”
“There is no reason not to do so!”
“This kid… … !”
“The youngest Vice-Captain of the Battle Priests, Archbishop Carlton! That’s me! With the obstacle called you gone, I can finally shine!!”
“this……!”
“And you should be grateful to me, Master. I begged for you and changed the sentence of death from the cardinals’ sentence to purification.”
Sigh.
Swath dug his fingertips into Carlton’s stomach.
Swaus’ hand, which had penetrated the skin and peritoneum, began to suck out the ‘mark’ that Carlton was holding.
Tsuzuzuzu… … !
“Kwaaaaak!”
Looking at the sight, Gap-seok asked Yeong-su.
“But what did the sign say?”
“The key to open the portal.”
“ah……!”
That sign fell into the hands of the Undercovers… … .
“This means that we can now invade Eldrunia.”
