Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 78

Episode 78
Desian’s file, a spellbook filled with all sorts of high-level magic.
This document was an object with a considerable amount of advanced convenience built into it.
In simple terms, this meant that you could use the magic engraved on that page just by injecting mana into it.
Even for classes with relatively low magical aptitude, like Youngsu.
Of course, there was a downside in that once a page was written, it was completely consumed and could never be written again.
located on page 44 of this document.
Youngsoo looked down at the page and muttered.
“…Fuck.”
If you write this page, the problem you are facing now will definitely be solved.
Weakness, blood loss, and dizziness that weighs down the whole body.
All of this can be neatly eliminated.
That’s why I had to write it.
but…….
‘I don’t want to write.’
I didn’t want to write.
Because I knew the side effects of writing this page, the side effects of ‘blood sucking’ to be exact.
Especially when targeting long-lived species such as elves, the side effects of blood sucking were more intense.
Youngsoo was still vivid in front of my eyes.
What kind of disaster did I experience when I tried using the on an elf in the game?
‘Of course, it’s not like I die or anyone else dies, but… … .’
But it was certain that something would happen that would make me want to die.
But for now, there was no other way.
‘… Yes, it’s something that has to happen sooner or later.’
Since we will have to accept the ‘Blood of the Blood Horse’ later anyway, let’s just think of it as a rehearsal.
… said Youngsoo, making up his mind.
‘Besides, there is no situation more optimal for writing than now.’
Take a deep breath.
After that, Yeongsu placed the on his palm.
And injected mana.
Gulp… … .
As mana was poured into the pages, they became saggy and droopy as if soaked in blood.
Then, it quickly stuck to my palm and started to dye my hand red.
Swauss, who was watching this, asked.
“What are you doing now?”
“Don’t come in front of me. You’ll get hurt.”
Yeongsu stretched out his reddened hand.
Towards the place where the corpses of elves were strewn everywhere.
Then-
Kiing!
‘Bloodsucker’ has been activated.
Choaaaah!
Blood began to drain from the elf’s corpses.
Blood gushed from the wounds, from the mouth, from the eyes, from every orifice and crevice on the body.
The blood that was drawn out was sucked into Youngsoo’s hand in a long parabolic curve.
Blood swirling and sucking in.
The corpses that had their blood drained began to dry up like mummies, and the pungent smell of blood spread everywhere.
A grotesque sight.
The Swaus clan watched this scene with blank expressions.
And after a while, the consumption of the was completed.
The blood sucking has stopped.
Youngsoo closed his eyes.
And then I sat quietly and felt the state of my body.
The bleeding stopped and the dizziness completely disappeared.
The creaking joints became normal as if they had never been there, and the muscles that had been torn here and there were reattached in a stronger state than before.
My body has completely recovered.
That wasn’t the end.
A powerful force began to flow through the blood vessels and mana circuits throughout my body.
It was the power that came from blood, the blood energy.
This was the first time I had felt such an overflow of power since I came out into reality.
No, I could say for sure.
Youngsoo’s condition was at its peak right now.
I’ve never felt this powerful since I came out into the real world.
In a word… … .
‘I am the strongest right now.’
Flash.
Youngsoo opened his eyes.
Swaus, who was watching from the side, asked.
“Cheon Yeong-su, your eyes… … .”
“ah.”
Youngsoo’s eyes were shining bloodshot.
It wasn’t bloodshot eyes, but the pupils themselves were glowing red.
“… Are you okay?”
“It’s not okay.”
Yeongsu stretched out his hand toward the stone pillar he was leaning against.
And then he snapped his fingers at the pillar and made a sound.
Kwajik!
The pillar was completely destroyed.
A thick stone pillar with a diameter of nearly 1 meter was split in half.
Without using any skills or even using any strength, it was just a light slap.
Everyone except Youngsoo was shocked.
Swauss said.
“… Doesn’t it seem okay? No matter where I look, it doesn’t seem like normal strength?!”
“But it’s the perfect power to destroy what’s left.”
Youngsoo walked toward the door at the end of the hall.
Swaus followed him and said,
“I’m not asking what kind of power it is. I’m saying that any great power acquired in such a short period of time will inevitably have a backlash!”
Swauss was right.
“… What price did you pay for that power, Cheon Yeong-su?”
“I’m already paying for it.”
“what?”
“Okay, everyone listen to me.”
After reaching the door at the end of the hall.
Youngsoo spoke to the Swaus group.
“Beyond this door is probably the .”
“… … !”
The ultimate weapon for defending the Great Temple Base, the Hand of Killing.
Their faces hardened, for they were well aware of that notoriety.
Swauss said.
“… But you must know the destruction method, right?”
“Of course. I will now give operational instructions. Swaus, you wait at the door.”
“what?”
“And the remaining nine will seal off the Great Temple and deal with the defeated soldiers.”
“Wait a minute, what about you, Cheon Yeong-su?”
“I alone will deal with the hand of murder.”
All ten elves had expressions telling them to stop talking nonsense.
“it’s crazy?!”
“I’m not crazy. I’m extremely rational right now.”
“Is a rational decision self-destructing?!”
“It’s not a suicide. If you go in with me, it’s a suicide.”
“what…….”
“You will die if you fall into the hands of murder, and you will die if you fall into my attack.”
“… … .”
“You all saw my power a little while ago.”
A body explosively strengthened through blood sucking.
That was Youngsoo’s current physical state, and the Swauss clan knew it too.
Eventually, they were convinced.
“…good.”
“This should have happened a long time ago. And Swaus.”
“… … ?”
“You wait in front of the door, and when you hear a loud noise, come in.”
“A loud noise… … ?”
“I’m going in.”
Clank.
The door opened and Youngsoo disappeared beyond it.
* * *
Beyond the door.
There was a wide open space there, closer to a plaza than a hall.
Of course, it was a hall in that it was indoors and covered with a huge domed ceiling.
Anyway, that wasn’t the important thing.
All that mattered was the old man sitting in the center of this circular space, and the giant hands floating in the air on either side of him.
thud.
Youngsoo closed the door.
“Cardinal Patur.”
“Hoo, do you know me?”
“And you know what’s floating next to you.”
Two giant hands floating in the air.
This was the .
Hands of enormous size, with the length of the little finger being similar to the height of an adult male.
The texture was like the severed hand of a dead giant, and the long iron nails piercing through the hand added to the menacing feel.
But just from its bizarre appearance, it was difficult to tell why it was the ultimate weapon for base defense.
“This old man recommends that you end your journey here. If you want to leave behind at least a healthy body.”
“If it was going to end so pointlessly, I wouldn’t have jumped into this. And.”
Yeongsu continued speaking, pointing the tip of his sword.
“Who should we tell the kids who started the war to stop first?”
“Even though you are an inferior species, I tried my best to be polite to you, but why is this happening? If that’s the case, then there’s nothing I can do.”
Sigh.
Pathur reached out his hand towards Youngsoo.
“I’ll crush it.”
wickedness-
At that moment, the killing hand disappeared.
Transparency?
No, it just seemed to disappear for a moment.
Because of the tremendous speed.
Quagwagwa!
Two huge hands scraped across the floor.
It was a destructive force that was mind-boggling.
In addition, due to the nails embedded in various parts of the hand, dozens of slashes would strike wherever the killing hand passed, cutting down objects in the surrounding area.
A terrifying speed that is unimaginable given its enormous size.
The freedom to float freely in the air without lift or propulsion.
And to a wide attack surface area.
This is why the Hand of Killing is called the ultimate weapon for base defense.
Because it could crush any intruder without giving them a chance.
Yeongsu muttered as he narrowly escaped the hand of death.
“… It’s still amazing even when I look at it again.”
There was leisure in Youngsoo’s muttering.
Suddenly, I remembered the first time I encountered the Hand of Killing in a game.
Even though I was proud of being strong back then, I died in an instant.
But now it’s different than then.
Because my body had become much stronger due to the blood sucking.
Again, the two-handed claws flew.
Quagwaquagwaqua!
An attack that could kill even a passing enemy swept across a wide area.
This time too, Cheon Yeong-su successfully evaded with ease.
Looking at that, Patur muttered.
“Interesting.”
At that moment, the wild, murderous hand stopped in midair.
And then-
Okay!
The left and right hands suddenly grabbed each other in a strange way.
‘Hoo.’
Youngsoo noticed what it was doing.
That strange hand shape is none other than the hand seal used to cast a spell.
And that man was the one who summoned the sharp wind that cut down everything it touched.
Kuoooo!
As the two hands that had finished the water seal spread their palms wide, a huge amount of cold wind swept towards Yeongsu.
Of course, Youngsoo knew this attack was coming and tried to dodge it leisurely.
at that time.
-Dieeeeeee!
Screams began to ring out in Youngsoo’s head.
-I hate you.
-Save me… … !
-I’ll tear you to pieces and kill you!
-No, what is this… …!
-Take it out… … .
-mom……!
headache?
No, this was a pain that dug into Youngsoo’s very consciousness.
Pain that cannot be expressed in any terminology of modern medicine.
This was the side effect of vampirism.
Fragments of the consciousness and memories of the dead that were entangled together when sucking blood.
It remained in Youngsoo’s consciousness and began to run wild from time to time.
In addition, the blood that Youngsoo sucked up was the blood of an elf.
Their blood, which lived much longer than humans, contained memories more densely than usual.
Naturally, the intensity of the pain had to increase.
‘Ugh… … !’
For a moment, Youngsoo’s movements stopped.
A cold wind swept over Yeongsu.
Kwaaang!
The walls and floors that had been hit directly by the cold wind were cut into pieces as if they had been sliced into pieces.
“That was a hit.”
Even as he muttered like that, Pathur did not stop his killing hand.
Instead, he prepared the next attack quickly.
“If someone comes this far, they won’t die like this.”
His judgment was correct.
Youngsoo was alive.
Because I barely managed to avoid the center of the wind just before it hit me.
But even so, the upper body was covered in blood.
Because I couldn’t avoid it completely.
And the defensive power of the alone was not enough to block all of that cold wind.
“You tough guy, try avoiding this too.”
Cheok.
The hands in the air took the form of swords this time.
As Patur made a gesture, hands flew towards Yeongsu.
At a faster speed than before.
Quagwagwa!
Sharper, faster, more merciless.
Youngsoo narrowly avoided all of those attacks.
But Patur was satisfied with the result.
Although he dodged all the attacks, Youngsoo’s bleeding became more severe due to the violent movements during the process.
Just avoiding attacks would cause damage to accumulate.
Patur said with a pleased expression.
“Would you like to continue?”
“It was a mistake that made me bleed.”
“This old man doesn’t listen to boasts.”
“It was your fault for making me bleed.”
“… … ?”
Now that I think about it, there was something strange about Youngsoo’s bleeding.
Bleeding blood usually appears in one of two ways:
Flowing or gushing out.
However, the blood from Youngsu’s body was spraying into the air.
As if a fog made of blood was seeping out of my body.
“… … !”
For a moment, Patur felt goosebumps.
Because I felt an unbearable killing intent from that bloody fog that was spreading more and more widely.
Youngsoo opened his mouth.
“Bloodleting technique.”
“what……?”
“The secret art of the Blood Demon, and the pinnacle of the forbidden martial arts of the Central Plains.”
“What are you talking about… … ?”
“You won’t understand. The ‘Central Plains’ haven’t arrived yet. And anyway, there’s only one thing you need to know.”
Yeah-
Yeongsu took out a greatsword from his inventory.
The greatsword I stole from the warehouse.
“In 5 seconds, this fight will be over.”
“Nonsense… …!”
Shhh!
Pathur swung his killing hand at Youngsu.
Unlike before, Youngsoo didn’t avoid it.
Just take a step forward and swing the sword you hold with both hands.
It was just an extremely concise slash down.
however.
Crunch!
The right hand of the killer was split in half.
