Episode 313

“Is your ear clogged, kid? I just asked you what you were.”

A scavenger approached Zeon.

He was walking towards me like a gangster, his hand holding the dagger stuck in his waist. He was fully prepared to pull it out and swing it at any moment.

Contrary to his bad attitude, gaze, and speech, his movements were those of someone who knew how to fight properly.

“Whoa! Whoosh!”

The scavenger, who had come close to his nose, spat on Zeon’s shoe.

It was a typical scavenger trick.

Snap!

At that moment, the scavenger’s body flew into the air with a loud noise.

Because the moment the Scavenger’s spit touched his shoe, Zeon kicked his chin with his foot.

The scavenger’s head, floating in the air, snapped back as if it were going to break.

The only thought that came to Scavenger’s mind as he felt dizzy and in excruciating pain was ‘What?’

That was his last thought.

Because the jawbone was broken and penetrated the brain.

dump!

By the time the scavenger hit the ground, he was already dead.

Zeon wiped his shoes on the dead scavenger’s clothes.

“nastily…….”

The scavengers felt goosebumps at Zeon’s thoughtless words.

The person who had been chatting with them just a moment ago became a corpse in an instant.

The scavenger who died at Zeon’s feet was a D-class Awakened.

Although he was not a very high rank, he was a veteran with a cruel personality and was skilled at killing.

He was not so foolish as to die from someone’s kick. He lost his life in an instant.

Without ever putting up a proper fight.

It’s not that the scavenger is weak.

Xeon is strong.

Sreung!

The scavengers drew their weapons.

The oldest among them spoke with a smiling face.

“Wow, someone great has come in. I don’t know where you came from, but if you come into our nest, you must follow the rules.”

“rule?”

“Our rule is that we never kill any scavengers that enter our nest.”

“Then I don’t have to follow the rules. I’m not a scavenger.”

“If you’re not a scavenger, how did you find out about our nest?”

His eyes turned red with life.

The other scavengers also surrounded Zeon, radiating a sense of murder.

For scavengers, a nest is their lifeblood.

One of the few safe spaces where they can relax and feel safe.

It was an absolutely inviolable sanctuary that must never be exposed under any circumstances.

A non-scavenger entered that space.

For scavengers, it was a serious matter of survival.

Zeon said, looking around the inside of the nest.

“There’s someone looking for it. But it doesn’t seem to be here. Is there a hidden secret space or something?”

“Secret space?”

“Yes! I thought you might be hiding there.”

“Fuck! This is ridiculous.”

“It may look like it’s gone, but you’ll know when you look.”

“Who made you fall behind?”

“It would be better if you did it.”

“Fuck you!”

At that moment, the scavengers who had surrounded Zeon attacked all at once.

Swords, axes, and kukris flew towards Zeon’s vital points.

They were all weapons with maximum killing power.

Even a graze would cause serious injury, and a direct hit would result in death.

But that was when it was true.

Kkwaduk!

Zeon grabbed the wrist of the scavenger who was attacking with his kukri and twisted it.

“Kwaaak!”

The scavenger let out a desperate scream as his forearm dangled, broken.

Zeon struck him in the mouth.

bang!

The scavenger’s head snapped back with a bang.

All of the scavenger’s teeth were broken, causing wounds inside his mouth.

The scavenger collapses in an instant, covered in blood.

Zeon didn’t stop there.

He slashed at the battle axe flying from behind with his hot gauntlet.

Boom! Bam!

The battle axe shattered like glass.

Zeon’s elbow struck the temple of the Scavenger, who was wide-eyed at the unbelievable sight.

“Big!”

The scavenger’s body collapsed with a final scream.

Zeon kicked the collapsing scavenger with his foot.

A giant object over a meter tall flew through the air and crashed into other Scavengers.

“Huh!”

“Big!”

Screams erupted from the mouths of the scavengers as they were thrown in all directions like bowling pins.

The face of the older scavenger who had spoken to Zeon hardened.

Zeon subdued many scavengers without using any special skills and with just simple body movements.

‘Even though they are awakened martial artists who are quite powerful, you know what I mean.’

The quote came out.

Clang!

He raised his hand in a flash, throwing down the sword he was holding.

“It’s surrender.”

“Why, why don’t you try to see it through to the end?”

“I think I was a bit dizzy, bro!”

“older brother?”

Zeon made a dumbfounded expression.

Because the Scavenger looked at least twice as old as he was. But the Scavenger was calm.

“The strong one is my brother. Haha!”

“You’re quick to judge.”

“For guys like us to survive, quick thinking is essential. I’m also a very perceptive person.”

“Then do you know why I came here?”

“Are you looking for someone?”

“And?”

“Is there a high chance that he is in our nest?”

“That’s true too. Then you know what to do, right?”

“I’ll try contacting other nests as well.”

“I hope it’s not too late. As you can see, I’m not very patient.”

“Don’t worry. Just wait about ten minutes and I’ll give you the news you want right away.”

The scavenger bowed ninety degrees.

It was as if he had thrown his pride to the dogs.

For survival, that kind of pride wasn’t important.

What really mattered to him was getting out of this situation unscathed.

He knew all too well that a wounded scavenger would only become prey for other scavengers.

In fact, he was planning to just get through this crisis and then loot the other scavengers that had fallen on the ground.

Zeon saw through the thoughts of the scavenger who was rolling his eyes diligently.

It was so absurd that I almost laughed.

So I asked.

“What is your name?”

“My name is David.”

“David? Is that your real name?”

“Of course. I have no reason to lie, right? Haha!”

David answered fluently without blinking an eye. However, Zeon guessed that his name was fake.

It’s probably just a name that comes to mind.

But it didn’t matter.

He wasn’t even curious about the Scavenger’s real name.

“Okay, David! You have ten minutes. If you don’t figure out what I want in ten minutes, you’re going to end up like those guys on the floor.”

“Oh no! That won’t work. Please tell me everything you know about the person you’re looking for, including their characteristics, name, and everything else.”

“Helbrin Mercenaries.”

“yes?”

“They operated in the desert under the name of the Helbrin Mercenaries.”

“ah!”

David let out an exclamation without realizing it.

Because he also knew them.

David said cautiously.

“There are quite a few of them, so finding them won’t be difficult.”

“There isn’t much time left now.”

“yes?”

“Hotsim and one subordinate. The two who entered Neo Seoul first. There must be about four people in total.”

“There are four of you?”

David looked incredulous.

That’s because he knows very well how strong the Helbrin mercenary force is.

A bunch of scavengers wouldn’t even be able to hand them a business card. There were only four of those Helbrin mercenaries left, and David wasn’t stupid enough not to know what it meant that Zeon knew that.

‘It’s clear that this man annihilated the Helbrin mercenary force.’

I got goosebumps all over my body.

He quickly took out a black jewel from his bosom.

It was the same jewel that Zeon had.

The official name of the black gem was Moss.

It could be used like the way Zeon found his nest, or it could be used to make simple contact using Morse code.

Of course, if you want to use Morse code, you need to match your mana frequency with the opposing scavenger in advance.

David had been a scavenger for a long time, so he knew a lot of people.

Again! Again!

His fingers tapped the moss diligently.

Jeon watched David’s hand movements closely.

‘So that’s how you use it.’

I had heard a rough idea of ​​how to use it from Urtian, but seeing it in person was something else.

After a while, David said with a big smile.

“I’ve contacted everyone, so you’ll hear good news soon.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Excuse me, can I ask you one thing?”

“What are you curious about?”

“Can I know your name?”

“Why, do you want revenge?”

“Oh, no. Absolutely not. I was just curious… … .”

“It’s not hard to tell you. But you have to die after hearing it.”

“Huh! No, I’m not curious at all.”

David threw up his hands in horror.

Zeon said with a smile.

“I’m joking. Why are you so surprised?”

“Yes? But… … .”

“My name is Zeon.”

“Huh! Are you a sand wizard? Oh my god!”

David covered his mouth.

There was no scavenger who didn’t know Zeon.

To them, Zeon was nothing short of a disaster. However, not many people had ever seen Zeon in person.

Because most of the scavengers who met Zeon lost their lives.

Instead of answering, Zeon smiled.

His smile felt as eerie as the blade of the Grim Reaper.

Cold sweat ran down David’s back without stopping.

‘Damn it! A sand wizard. If I had done something wrong, I could have been buried alive in the sand.’

He praised himself for not attacking Zeon rashly.

David waited anxiously for word from his colleagues.

‘Why are these kids so clueless? Surely they’re not going to kill me.’

One minute felt like ten.

It was when Jeon’s eyes, silently watching from the side, became burdensome.

Another one!

The other side’s signal rang in Morse.

“Wow, here we come.”

He quickly focused on the other person’s Morse code.

After a while he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“There are Hotsim and his men in the Ohn Nest.”

“Are you sure?”

“Those chicks were causing a commotion in the Oh-Bun nest. The chick that contacted me said that he got beaten up by them and got angry, so I don’t think it’s a lie.”

“Where is the five-hundred-year-old’s nest?”

“that is…….”

For some reason, David hesitated.

Zeon’s voice grew cold.

“Where are you?”

“It’s near the city hall.”

David squeezed his eyes shut.

Zeon made a dumbfounded expression.

No matter how dark the lamp may be, creating a scavenger nest near the city hall was crossing the line.

“How big is your nest? How dare you build a nest so close to the city hall.”
