Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 88

Episode 88
My right arm was cut off.
The man’s face turned white.
‘Heeeeek… …!’
Thud!
The man desperately grabbed the severed arm with his hand.
But there was no need for that in the first place.
Because my right arm has never been cut off.
‘illusion?!’
The man continued to feel his right arm.
It was fine.
It was an arm that was intact, just as it was originally.
So what the hell was that welcome just now?
Is it a skill?
‘no.’
The man could intuitively tell that this wasn’t some kind of skill.
Then what does it mean?
This is… … .
‘To live.’
This was the working of life.
The man, overwhelmed by the murderous aura that Youngsoo exuded, had a momentary illusion.
A vision of a part of one’s own body being cut off.
‘…Is this possible?’
The man looked at Youngsoo again.
Even at a glance, Youngsoo’s physical condition was still a mess.
The flow of mana that was emanating from him was also distorted, and his body’s balance was also off.
But I couldn’t even imagine that I could win.
I couldn’t even approach it.
If I took just one step closer, if I really crossed that line, I felt like I would really die.
The man’s mind was filled with the certainty that next time not only his arm but also his neck would be blown off.
‘…Is this possible?’
He didn’t swing his sword, he didn’t shout, he didn’t chant any spells.
Just stand still.
Is it possible to inflict this level of fear in that state?
At that time, the man’s mind was becoming more and more complicated.
Swish-
From behind Young-soo, the man’s subordinates secretly approached him.
The moment they were about to cross the line drawn by Youngsoo.
“stop!”
With a thunderous roar, the man stopped his men’s movements.
The subordinate who had been walking secretly suddenly stopped in his tracks in surprise.
The man said.
“…I’m withdrawing today.”
“yes?”
“Get out of here, you idiots!”
The subordinates who had been hesitating at the man’s rebuke immediately retreated.
Yeongsu, who was watching that, said.
“Then I’ll go?”
“… Take a look.”
Yeah-
Youngsoo put the core of the weapon into his inventory.
A question mark appeared in the eyes of the Medicus people who saw that.
‘That goes into the inventory?!’
After that, Youngsoo walked away from the scene in a shaky manner.
The man who was looking at Youngsoo’s back thought for a moment that he was seeing an optical illusion.
I was clearly walking slowly, but the distance had suddenly increased.
After Youngsoo completely disappeared from sight.
A subordinate asked the man.
“Team Leader, why did you just let the author go… … ?”
The man looked at his subordinate with eyes that seemed to be sighing through their eyeballs.
“I just saved your lives.”
“yes?”
“That… That’s something you absolutely must not touch.”
The man led his men and quickly left the area.
Then suddenly, the man looked around.
Elf corpses strewn everywhere.
Medicus was also aware that the elves were attacking humans from time to time.
But I didn’t know that such a huge battle had taken place.
This was partly because the battle broke out suddenly without any warning, and partly because the battle itself ended very quickly.
And above all, the current situation of ‘collapse of civilization’ continues.
Not only guns, bombs, tanks and cars, but also communication and electronic devices were all destroyed.
It is natural that the speed of information acquisition and dissemination will decrease significantly.
In the past, we would have known about events through social media, but now we live in an era where it is difficult to know about them due to physical distance.
So the man had no choice but to reason.
I wonder if there is some kind of connection between this mass death of elves and that man.
There was no real basis for this, but for some reason my intuition told me so.
If so… … .
‘…He’s not usually a dangerous person.’
The man’s intuition was correct.
And thanks to that intuition, my life was saved.
If this man had not backed down, Youngsoo would have killed this man at all costs.
Because even in Youngsoo’s eyes, this man was quite strong.
Yeongsu thought as he returned to his wild side.
‘He was quite a tough guy.’
We didn’t fight, but I could tell.
The sensitivity of the senses is directly connected to the strength of the body.
Just by sensing the weight of the murderous intent that Youngsoo was emitting, the man’s strength was indirectly revealed.
‘I guess I should have just killed him even if he got hurt a little.’
After saying that, Youngsoo immediately shook his head.
‘No, it’s rude to do that when your body hasn’t recovered yet. And it wouldn’t be good if this started a new fight.’
With that thought, Youngsu returned to his wild side.
But there was one more thing that neither Youngsu nor the man knew.
That there was a third force watching all this from afar.
“What should I do? Should I catch one of them and kill it?”
“Arthur. Our recovery comes first. The war comes later.”
A dozen or so people with long ears and skin as white as jade.
These were elves.
To be exact, the remnants of the elven army that invaded Earth.
They also took part in the Battle of Jamsil Main Stadium and vividly witnessed their comrades being killed in droves.
But after two or three lucky breaks, they were able to escape from that hell.
However, since none of them were of the archbishop level who could open the portal, they were unable to return to Eldrunia.
So their current goal was one.
To recover my body here and somehow find a way to get revenge on humans.
They came here to strengthen their hearts once more and to mourn their comrades.
“Rest in peace, everyone. We will continue to seek your revenge.”
They left Jamsil Main Stadium while muttering like that.
“So, you’ve been looking for a new hideout?”
“There’s a place I saw while passing by. I didn’t go in, but it looked nice and seemed like a good place to hide.”
“I see. Let’s go there first.”
They moved stealthily and quickly.
They went into the forest.
A place that has effectively turned into a forest, although there are some remains of modern buildings here and there.
Inside this dense and sparsely populated area, there stood an old stone building.
A building surrounded by bushes and with faded light, it appears as nothing more than a lump of rock when viewed from a distance.
But the elves who were familiar with the forest could tell exactly what it was from afar.
They entered the building.
however-
“There is something.”
A faint noise was felt from inside the dark interior of the building.
Are you a monster?
No, it was a much more sinister and creepy kind of presence.
At that moment, a voice came out of the darkness.
“Who are you?”
The elves did not answer that question.
Instead, they just draw their swords and weapons.
When no answer came, it walked out of the darkness.
Although I couldn’t see his full form yet because of the shadows, I was certain that he was a human male.
And the condition wasn’t all that good.
Because his right arm was completely cut off.
But despite that, some unknown ominous energy was flowing through his whole body.
He said.
“Get out. This is my home.”
“You are human.”
The elves, wielding swords, approached him and spoke.
“If they’re human, kill them. If they’re elves, let them live.”
“Is that the policy?”
“Don’t blame us. If you were in this situation, you would have acted like us.”
Four elves wielding swords rushed at the same time.
The situation was resolved in an instant.
All four of them were struck down by something unknown.
“Ugh!”
“Khak… … !”
It happened in an instant.
The area penetrated by these four is a vital point.
All four died on the spot.
The remaining elves began to panic at the unexpected disaster.
“What, what… … ?!”
“First of all, there’s something you’re misunderstanding. I’m not human.”
“what……?”
Only then did the elves realize the nature of the ominous aura they had been sensing from the man.
Magi.
A sinister form of mana and magic emitted by demons, devils, demons, and mines.
The elves said.
“You, are you a demon… …!”
“It’s a mine. There’s not much difference between a demon and a mine.”
“Hit!”
The remaining elves all poured their magic towards the mine.
At that moment, a black spear made of magic appeared in Mine’s hand.
The spear of death that pierced the elves just a moment ago.
The window moved.
That was all the elves could see.
No one has ever been able to read the trajectory of this window correctly.
The tip of the spear, which had slipped into a deadly corner in the darkness, rose like a snake and pierced several hearts in one breath.
‘What, what is it…?’
I couldn’t understand it.
Is it possible for a one-armed man to wield a long spear like this?
Bam!
The mine man stood, trampling on the chest of one of the elves.
This elf was the sole survivor.
He barely survived because the tip of the spear missed his heart.
But the very next moment, I realized that this was not luck at all.
“I’ve always wanted to try eating it alive.”
“what……?”
Oh my god.
The mine man opened his black mouth.
The elf began to writhe in fear.
“Ugh, huh, s, save me… euaaaah!!”
Crunch.
The meal has begun.
Crunch, crunch, thud, thud.
About 10 minutes later.
A single feeding ended with a crashing and crunching sound.
The man went out of the building to digest the food.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves and revealed his face.
Not only was he missing one arm, he was also missing one eye.
It was lost to an assassin a long time ago.
He repeated the name of the assassin.
“Cheon Yeong-su… … .”
The mine man ground his bloody teeth.
The name that will surely kill me someday, Cheon Yeong-su.
But the man with the mine was objectively aware of his own condition.
This is because he knew that if he attacked Cheon Yeong-su in his current state, there would be no other ending than death.
‘I need to recover more and gain more strength.’
Cheon Yeong-su, more than enough to crush that monster.
No matter how long it takes or what the price is, I will kill you with my own hands.
“… Wait a minute.”
He was once human, and was once a genius who lived up to the expectations of those around him, but now he has fallen to the level of a demon due to a contract with the devil.
Ma Hyun-woo.
He was constantly sharpening his blade of vengeance in the darkness.

Wild shopping district.
Gap-seok was looking at the large white bead measuring one meter in diameter that Yeong-su had brought.
“… This is the core of that giant snake, right?”
“yes.”
“But how do I use this?”
“I’ll show you now.”
Youngsoo held a knife in one hand and felt the surface of the nucleus with the other.
“think.”
“What is it?”
Bam.
Youngsoo quickly stabbed the knife into the surface.
As soon as I pierced the surface, a long crack suddenly appeared on the surface.
“what are you doing?!”
“The important thing is inside here.”
Yeongsu split the large bead in half and took out the small bead embedded in it.
The size is slightly larger than a baseball.
The color is translucent white.
Yeongsu put this in Gapseok’s hand.
“…What can I do with this?”
“Try walking on heels there.”
“… … ?”
Gapseok casted a heal skill on this small bead.
Then-
Kagakak!
Horn-like things sprouted out from the surface of the bead.
Gapseok’s eyes widened.
“this……!”
“Yeah. When you put on the heel, this bead ‘recovers’ and new parts grow.”
“oh my god…….”
Gap-seok recalled when he caught the culprit.
The moment I caught the bastard by walking on him and growing abnormal bones.
This is exactly what I’m talking about, by putting a heal on this core.
“This time, try heeling a different part with a different intensity.”
“yes.”
Crap!
Then, this time, a square pillar appeared on the surface of the marble.
“Depending on how you heal this bead, you can determine the shape of the structure that emerges from it.”
“…things like shields and spears.”
“If you want.”
Gap-seok held the marble tightly.
