This Is Not a Game - This Is Not a Game chapter 188

Karma

Kreung?

The gorilla’s eyes widened.

I thought I’d hit it, but I don’t feel anything in my hand.

The gorilla took a deep breath and swung both arms the size of an adult man at the man in front of him.

An attack of a plane that occupies space, not a point or line.

It was physically unavoidable attack, but Meteor narrowly avoided all attacks by moving like leaves blowing in the wind.

“What kind of fraudulent skill… … .”

The Mystic Eye of Truth, which has risen to S-grade, is different from before.

You can see the electrical signals sent from the brain, the movement of minute invisible muscles, and even what happens in the realm of the microscopic world.

Too many things happen in a split second, creating a complex chain reaction, so it was difficult to even perceive what was happening, but Yoosung had skills and abilities.

It catches electrical signals and muscle movements sent from the brain by maximizing the sensible time with the Sura sense, and interprets them with the intelligence increased by the wisdom stat of 3,000.

The result was this.

Heh heh heh!

The red-eyed gorilla swung both arms frantically, but the meteor couldn’t even brush them.

It was natural.

It was difficult even for a Transcendentalist to land an attack on the current Meteor, which was predicting infinitely close to his foreknowledge.

Although strong, it was impossible for a gorilla, a mere monster, to hit a meteor.

Hung! Whoo! Quaang!

Yuseong, who was avoiding the onslaught, decided that there was nothing more to find out and poked his finger into the gorilla’s chest.

The thread-thin red blood cells pierced the thick skin and turned the heart into a rag, and the gorilla collapsed without even groaning.

“What is this again?”

A faint golden glow flowed from the gorilla’s corpse.

While Meteor was immersed in thought in a phenomenon he had never seen before, some of the scattered light suddenly began to fly.

“Huh?”

Surprised, Yuseong stepped back and fired a red blood vessel.

However, the halo passed through the red blood phase naturally and was absorbed by the meteor as it was.

“What’s this?”

I wondered if it was a curse, so I opened the status window and tried to operate the Mugeuk Ilwon Gong, but I couldn’t feel anything.

If something went wrong, I would have been more comfortable, but there was no change, so I was rather anxious.

‘Did I see something in vain?’

Yuseong, who was troubled by an incomprehensible phenomenon, turned to the presence nearby.

Did they gather after hearing the sound of a fight between themselves and the gorilla?

I felt alive on all sides.

Heh heh heh!

The winged lion roared wildly and threw itself.

Although it was the same speed as the wind, Meteor, who predicted the movement through electrical signals and muscle movements, lightly avoided the attack by moving half a step to the side.

Yooseong, who had been avoiding and parrying the lion’s attack without rest, slightly frowned.

“It’s a great ability, but the disadvantages are as clear as the advantages.”

Catching and analyzing the phenomena occurring inside the body as complex as the microcosm in a short time of less than one second required considerable mental strength.

Even himself, who has tremendous mental power, felt a subtle headache, so an ordinary person would not have lasted even a second and stretched out with overload.

‘I can’t use this carelessly.’

Prediction close to the tentative name Prediction was not a skill to be used lightly, but it seemed appropriate to use it one-on-one, and only at the decisive moment.

After thinking it over, Yooseong immediately kicked and broke the lion’s neck.

“uh?”

As with the gorilla’s corpse, the lion’s corpse emitted a halo of light.

And part of that glow was naturally absorbed into his body.

At first, I thought that the gorilla-like monster had left behind a curse when it died.

But if the same phenomenon happened twice, the story would be different.

“For now, it’s not a curse.”

It’s not even clear if it’s energy before the curse.

Even if it is a small amount of energy, if you accept energy that is not your own, changes such as getting goose bumps or feeling chills occur.

However, despite being absorbed twice, the halo did not even feel anything, let alone change.

‘What the hell is this?’

Yoosung, who was lost in thought, glanced around.

Countless various monsters were shooting their lives at him.

Yoosung raised his arms with a faint smile.

There is no law that what happened twice won’t happen more than three or four times.

kurrrrr… … .

Kiruk?

The monsters, feeling somehow ominous, trembled involuntarily.

A few of them with a good sense tried to run away immediately, but were pierced through the vital points by a bloody strong air flying from behind, and died in vain.

“I’m sorry, but I need to hang out with you.”

Disaster came to a group of peaceful monsters.

* * *

Whoa!

The smartphone in my arms vibrated.

Yooseong, who checked the screen at the sudden vibration, hesitated for a while before answering the phone.

-hey!

“It’s a surprise. Why are you screaming?”

-Do I look like I’m not screaming now? What the hell are you doing?!

“What are you doing? That’s right, I’m subjugating monsters.”

-Now call it a horse!

Hearing Kang Chang-seok’s booming voice, Yoo-seong removed his smartphone from his ear and looked around.

bloody acid.

The corpses of countless monsters formed a mountain, and the blood that flowed out flowed like a sea.

‘Did I catch too many?’

In order to confirm the identity of the glow, I killed all the monsters that I could see, but now that I look back, I think it was a bit excessive.

-Are you listening to me now?

“Uh, uh. I’m listening. So what?”

-… … Haha, I’m an idiot for trying to have a serious conversation with you.

“No, why are you reacting like that? Is it wrong to catch monsters?

-It’s a problem because it’s not just one or two! The monster movement happened because of you!

“What do you mean?”

-Turn it off.

Kang Chang-seok, who was hesitant to say anything, began to explain in a trembling voice, as if he had barely calmed down.

Currently, Korea is in a strange coexistence with monsters.

Large cities, small and medium-sized cities, and social infrastructure have been secured, but that’s all.

The monsters hiding in the mountains had no way to subdue them properly, and a clumsy attack could lead to a large-scale monster wave, so they were just watching as long as they didn’t cause major damage.

– Massive monster hunting is not just hunting, it’s a kind of military operation that even mobilizes the army… … .

The government grants permission for hunting only when it is concluded that it is safe by carefully examining and collecting various information such as nearby cities, geographical features, types and characteristics of monsters, and the distribution of nearby monsters.

However, Yuseong hunted a large number of monsters by crossing countless mountains without even giving notice, let alone permission.

Of course, the storm that followed was devastating.

– A large-scale monster wave situation almost happened in the southern part of Gyeonggi-do.

“Southern Gyeonggi-do?”

-okay. They managed to stop it by mobilizing contractors, the military, and even academy graduates. First of all, I covered it up as a secret operation carried out by the government, and I made related evidence and documents, so memorize everything so that there will be no problems later.

“Oh, thank you.”

-You owe me this time. do not forget.

There was also no way to help for no reason.

However, this time it was his obvious mistake, so he apologized meekly and ended the call after appeasing Kang Chang-seok by saying that he would think about the proposal he made a few days ago as positively as possible.

“Should I take some time to study common sense separately?”

After repeating daily quests, training, and rest, I was too ignorant of the common sense of the world that had changed after monsters appeared.

Fortunately, this incident ended without a major accident, but it could have caused massive civilian damage and almost lost all the reputation it had built up until now.

What was even more unfortunate was the fact that, despite all this, little was known about the halo of light, which was the purpose.

All that Yoosung found out was that a group of lights would come out even if you killed a beast or insect instead of a monster, that a group of lights would come out even if you killed monsters without killing yourself, etc.

“Is it some kind of natural phenomenon? It doesn’t seem to have any effect on the body at first, but… … .”

Yoosung made a confused expression.

There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with it, but the fact that something unknown was entering her body made her feel uncomfortable.

Yuseong, who came to the conclusion that it was a problem that could not be answered even if he thought about it alone, raised his head and looked at the sky to fulfill his original purpose of coming out.

Is it because it is out of town?

Or was it because the exhaust was reduced by using a magic power engine instead of an internal combustion engine?

Numerous stars were shining brightly in the night sky.

It was so bright that it hurt my eyes.

“Let’s see. Was it like this?”

Meteor narrowly opened his eyes and began to observe the astronomy.

The essence of the ritual of the sun and the moon is to gather the spirits of the sun, moon, and stars to create divinity.

The energy referred to here was not simple energy, but a spiritual resource, or karma.

‘I was very surprised when I first found out about this.’

I thoroughly analyzed the rituals of the sun, moon, and stars in anticipation that I might be able to create divinity using karma without necessarily collecting the energy of the sun, moon, and stars.

The results were disappointing.

I could understand the consciousness of the sun and the moon, but it was blocked by the core, karma.

Through the information he received from users, he knew what karma was.

It is called by various names such as causality, interference, faith, and influence, and is a spiritual resource for mortals to be reborn as transcendental beings or for transcendental beings to exert their power in reality.

The problem was that there was no way to interfere with karma.

No, it is impossible to even perceive before interference.

As far as Yoosung knew, there was no way to take advantage of something he could neither perceive nor interfere with.

‘Please, please, please.’

Meteor’s expression, which had been looking up at the night sky earnestly, began to harden.

The period of the celestial bodies did not match.

Judging from the shape of the celestial bodies, the time when the cycles coincided was about twenty years ago.

It seemed that it would take at least a thousand years until the period of the next celestial body coincided.

“… … Damn it.”

I was kind of expecting it.

The coincidence of the cycles of celestial bodies is something that only happens once in hundreds of years.

What is the probability that the Earth is the right time to unfold the consciousness when you get a book with the consciousness to become a transcendental person in another world?

It will probably converge to 0 indefinitely.

The easiest and fastest way to become a transcendent has disappeared.

Yooseong, who was about to burst into anger, stopped at the sudden feeling of incongruity.

‘Why is it so bright?’

No matter how much the pollution was reduced, the sky was too bright even if it was bright.

To add a bit of exaggeration, I could believe it was early evening.

Meteor, observing the sky itself, not the shape of a celestial body, was able to find out that there was something shining in the night sky besides the moon and stars, and that it was a halo.

A very familiar glow.

“no way… … .”

Yuseong released the evil eye of truth just in case.

Then the bright night sky turned dark in an instant.

When the Magic Eye of Truth is activated, it becomes bright, and when released, it becomes dark.

Meteor’s head began to spin rapidly.

The demonic eye of truth with an increased level, the light that comes out when a living being is killed, the ritual of the sun and moon, the energy of the sun, moon and stars, and spiritual resources.

After analyzing and combining numerous keywords, Yuseong came up with one answer.

“… … Could this cluster of lights be karma?”
