Episode 149: The vicious battle of small creatures

It’s a helper. Why are you avoiding me? Dodak approached the doppelganger once again.

As the distance narrowed, the doppelganger flinched and retreated.

-Huh… .

Dodak, who saw this, trembled in shock.

Did I do something wrong? No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t figure anything out.

At a time when the leaves were drooping with gloom, the direction of the wind changed.

-Huh?

This is not the scent of a helper. It is the scent of someone smelling it for the first time.

-Help, hehe!

You fooled me! Dodaki got angry and hit the table with a branch of the World Tree.

A bean sound rang out.

The doppelganger saw that and his face became filled with fear.

“Oh, he’s panicking!”

“That’s not me.”

“But it’s your face!”

“That’s right.”

Cheon Do-un watched the battle with a subtle expression.

Before we knew it, the judge who had climbed above Nari Kim’s head was also watching the battle on the table.

-Huh!

Dodak rushed at the doppelganger and swung his staff.

Nari Kim clenched her fists as the lengthy battle unfolded. His breathing became heavy due to nervousness.

“Do-dak is attacking you… !”

“I know. “They’re attacking.”

“I hit the old man!”

“I know. “I hit you.”

“I’m hitting you again! Ah… ! The man crouched down. Well, you can’t fight back! “It’s one-sided!”

As Na-ri Kim’s broadcast continued, Do-un Cheon’s shoulders trembled slightly.

Even though he was hit by a doppelganger with the same face as him, he wasn’t angry.

The opponent is King Dodak. To use an analogy, that is the final boss.

He had no choice but to hit Dodak if he waved his cane like that.

“It’s a fight you can’t win.”

The battle on the table was one-sided.

Perhaps because he was incapable of fighting, or because he had just woken up and was unconscious, the doppelganger just crouched and took the beating.

“Scanning… Man, something is strange. “It seems like the doppelganger’s stamina increases every time it gets hit.”

“It will be done by hitting it with a branch of the World Tree.”

Every time Dodaki swung the cane, the tip sparkled.

It was a good thing. This was a situation where top-quality heals rained down on the doppelganger, who had been in suspended animation for a long time.

I had the dilemma of having to get hit for my body to recover, but anyway.

“uh… ? Now, wait!”

Nari Kim, who was watching the battle, noticed something strange again.

“Dodak is losing his strength!”

“What are you talking about?”

“When you swing, swing hard. But at the end, I relax. “Dodak’s heart is shaking right now!”

Is it really like that? Cheon Doun looked at Dodak.

Compared to swinging with great force, hitting was like a knock.

Considering that he shared Cheon Do-un’s physical abilities, his combat power was below that of a postdoc attack.

“I think it’s because the enemy looks just like you.”

“is it?”

“The person being hit seems to be in more pain than the person being hit.”

“okay?”

One side is physical attack. The other side is in a situation where there is an unintentional mental attack.

The tension rose due to the fierceness. It was then that the doppelganger stumbled and fell.

“S-I collapsed. “Uncle, shouldn’t I stop you?”

“Just leave it alone. “I’m just pretending to faint.”

“Pretending to pass out?”

“You’re squinting. “I think he noticed that Dodak was feeling weak.”

The clever doppelganger imitated falling down in the form of Cheon Do-un.

Dodak’s eyes wavered pitifully at that.

-after… Huh?

Dodak tried to tap the doppelganger with his cane.

My heart sank when I saw my helper not moving.

What should I do? Dodak looked around and stopped when he saw Cheon Doun.

Big helper, there you are! Feeling relieved, Dodak pointed at the doppelganger with his World Tree staff.

I looked up Cheondo-un in that state. The look in his eyes asked what should I do.

Cheon Do-woon picked up the doppelganger and placed it on Dodak’s back.

“Don’t bother me too much. “Even though he looks like this, he’s a good kid.”

He paused as he spoke. For some reason, I felt strange.

“He may be clever, but he’s not a bad kid.”

I changed the words a little, but it was still strange. Perhaps because she had the same face as herself, it felt like she was talking to a mirror.

“Good boy.”

I tried saying it without all the modifiers. As expected, it felt strange.

Gold paint on your face. No, it’s a little different from that.

Spitting in one’s own face. This too is something different.

‘Something feels strange, but… ‘I don’t know what that is.’

I can’t do it. Let’s not say anything about doppelgängers who look exactly like us.

“As the king, you must take care of him.”

Cheon Do-un patted the doppelganger and said.

After getting the answer, Dodak ran with his doppelganger on his back.

I jumped up and got into Cheon Do-un’s bag.

In the end, there were no winners or losers in this battle.

No, in a way, it could be seen as the victory of the doppelganger who shook Dodak’s heart in the form of Cheon Do-un.

“Was the merger a success?”

“well. How is it? Because we don’t know the personality of the doppelganger yet. “I’ll just wait and see.”

This is a relationship that will have to stay together in the bag from now on.

It would be best to leave it alone for now so we can get to know each other. Cheon Do-un thought as he closed the bag door.

“Anyway, for what purpose was this doppelganger created? “I’m sure it’s not a combat-type chimera.”

In the old days, more than 90% of chimeras were created for the purpose of fighting monsters.

It was a strange thing to think about.

“How about looking for Joseph’s research log? “I might have written about my colleague’s research.”

“I don’t think he was interested in research other than plants… “Let’s take a look.”

When Cheon Do-woon took out a notebook, Kim Nari held out her hand.

“mister. I will find it. “If you scan it, you can find it right away.”

“okay? Then look up these words.”

Metal, liquid, doppelgangers, mud monsters.

Cheon Do-un told Kim Na-ri the words to search for.

After confirming the requirements, Nari Kim leafed through her notes.

It’s not like reading, it’s about skimming the pages.

For Nari Kim, that was enough.

“found.”

Nari Kim unfolded the middle of the notebook and handed it over. When the record came out, Cheon Do-un was inwardly surprised.

But when I finished reading the note, I looked convinced.

“That’s right.”

“why? “What does it say?”

“This is what Joseph studied. “In a broad sense, it is a chimera created while studying plants.”

The researcher who dropped the vial that number 49 saw. It was none other than Joseph.

“I guess they were trying to make a permanent fertilizer out of liquid metal.”

Cheon Do-un opened the notebook and placed it on the table.

“A mud monster that is a doppelganger. “Plants grow well where those monsters live.”

From the beginning, there was a phrase written in the name of a plant fanatic.

“This unusual metal I discovered increases the nutrients in the soil. “Wouldn’t it be the best fertilizer if we mixed mud monster cells with it?”

The siblings looked at the note and laughed. It was truly a Joseph-like idea.

“no wonder. I heard that the nutritional supplement from the metal root is produced too quickly. “I had experience handling liquid metal.”

“Then why didn’t you notice the metal roots when you saw them? Are you being pretentious?”

“I didn’t think so… “Considering that this was written decades ago, you may have forgotten.”

In the old days, the rarity of liquid metal was not known.

If you just thought it was an unusual metal, there is a chance you might have ignored it and forgotten about it.

Joseph’s note also lamented the loss of fertilizer, but did not say a word about its scarcity.

“I’ll go to Joseph and ask him about this guy. “You probably know what to feed them and how to take care of them.”

Even if you forget it, you will remember it when you see it in person.

Cheon Doun stopped while trying to take out the hearthstone.

At the end of his gaze stood Lee Baek-ho, the grandson of the president of the association.

“How long have you been there?”

“Joe, a little while ago.”

“A little while ago, when?”

“I came here earlier when the table battle was in full swing… “It looked like something serious, so I just waited.”

At those words, Cheon Do-un made an interesting face.

No matter how much attention he had on Dodak’s battle, it was rare for him to miss his presence.

He scanned Lee Baek-ho’s body with mana.

“He has attack skills. that’s right?”

“yes!”

“If you look at the nature of mana, the ability you currently have is electricity. yes?”

“yes that’s right. Although my strength is still weak. “No matter how much I trained, my abilities did not improve.”

Lee Baek-ho said with a shy face. Cheon Do-un glanced at him and then smiled.

“It has to be that way. “Because that’s not the ability I saw.”

“yes?”

“Now that I see it, there is a high possibility that he is multi-talented. “If the other abilities bloom, it will go up considerably.”

“What is that… “Am I multi-talented?”

Baekho Lee was embarrassed. Multi-talented people were never common.

Even when measuring his abilities, wasn’t he only able to read the electric ability?

But the person who is saying that is Cheon Do-un. He is an old-time S-class hunter recognized by his grandfather.

“Among the potential abilities, there will be one more stealth type. Try training there. “It will be quite useful once its abilities are unlocked.”

Baekho Lee’s mouth opened. When he couldn’t say anything because he couldn’t believe it, Cheon Do-un continued.

“The reason people with multiple abilities are rare is because, like you, non-main abilities often open first.”

In such cases, most people end up only focusing on one ability.

As time passes, potential that has not bloomed degenerates and closes.

In the end, there were many cases where the person ended up not even knowing that they were multi-talented.

Lee Baek-ho couldn’t hear Cheon Do-un’s explanation.

When he heard about his potential, fireworks exploded in his head.

If that’s true, then this is information worth paying tens of millions of dollars for.

Lee Baek-ho was upset to hear something like that thrown at him.

“Thank you, boss!”

Baekho Lee shouted, bending his back to 90 degrees.

“Don’t greet me like I’m a gang member. “More than that, why did you come here?”

“ah! Grandpa told me to bring you this. “I heard he must have used it a lot since he lives inside the gate.”

Baekho Lee held out the box he was holding. The box was full of hearthstones.

Even so, Cheon Do-un laughed because the hearthstones he had previously received were almost gone.

“And I found everything you asked me to research before. “I came today to report it.”

“report?”

“yes. “You told me to find out who was behind the demolition of the slum.”

Baekho Lee held out the folder he was holding along with the box.

“As much as you said it was an entrance test, I didn’t use my grandfather’s connections! I did my own digging and found out. I moved around infiltrating here and there… “It was fun because it was more thrilling than I expected.”

Baekho Lee said with a smile.

“I thought it was strange that I didn’t get caught even though I was wandering around here and there. “Now that I look at it, I guess it was because I had the potential for hiding.”

Baekho Lee held out the documents with a proud face.

“I think you will be satisfied with the report. “Can I join the Coconut family now?”

Baekho Lee asked. He didn’t know what the Coconut Family was doing.

But the founder is my grandfather’s friend. Not only that, he is also an S-class hunter from the old era.

If it was a place like that, I definitely wanted to go there.

‘There are people who want to step up and become workers.’

Yoo-beom looked at Baek-ho Lee with a sad look.

‘If you have stealth-type abilities, I think you’ll be used as an information source.’

Yoo Ji-ah also thought to herself.

Baekho Lee, who did not notice the pitiful looks in his brother and sister’s eyes, waited for Doun Cheon’s answer with a nervous face.
