Chapter 129

If the dungeon break is not resolved in time, the overlapping space becomes a reality, and monsters pop out.

The cataclysm was painfully felt, so shelters were set up throughout the city for emergencies.

“Exceeding shelter capacity!”

“Come this way!”

Voices shouting with all their might in the midst of the loud siren.

They were ordinary police and firefighters, as well as association employees.

Their duty was to guide the civilians safely to the shelter while the hunters deal with the monsters.

This was because the number of casualties due to panic could be greater than the number of casualties caused by monsters.

The damage could have been minimized if everyone followed the instructions obediently.

But it was just an ideal.

“Ouch… ! oh my god.”

“Hey hey hey! Isn’t this a bit dangerous?”

The two men were Q-Tubers.

They were involved in a situation while filming street hunting as content. He ran away like everyone else, but while the procession to the shelter stopped, he had other thoughts.

As the shelter capacity was exceeded, while the control personnel were confused, they escaped into the alley.

“Can’t you just look at it? You made a lot of fuss and are fine now. Are you saying that the Hunter side has an overwhelming advantage?”

“is it? Ayy, shit yeah! Let’s go for a while!”

Their purpose is to broadcast the Chimera attack live. Of course, I would pay a fine later for not following the control, but this way was more profitable when calculating the profit and loss.

Before the cataclysm, even when the epidemic was prevalent, there were many such people.

“this way!”

“Almost there! Live on!”

It wasn’t difficult to get directions.

The Chimera’s screams could be heard clearly amidst the blaring sirens.

They approached me happily, holding their smartphones.

“Q ha! Where are we now… .”

“uh?”

The two of them giving a ment at the start of the live. But there was one thing they overlooked.

“Go that way!”

“Freeze!”

The fact that the chimera could move towards them just as they approached.

Their expressions, which had been laughing wide at the increasing number of viewers, instantly became contemplative.

“Uh, uh… !”

“uuu!”

The chimera’s gigantic body attacked them. At this rate, the moment when Chimera would be crushed even if he did nothing.

“What crazy!”

A blond-haired, youthful-looking hunter gave a short shout and threw a stone. What does a single stone mean to that monster?

However, one leg of the Chimera froze with an explosion of drinking.

“aaagh!”

However, perhaps because of the inertia of running, the frozen Chimera’s legs were torn apart, and its torso leaned forward.

“Fhoenix!”

A pure white fire bird blocked the way in front of the two Q-tubers whose legs were undone with incontinence.

A huge white flame stopped the falling Chimera, and three hunters charged from both sides and above.

One man had his bare hands, another a sword, and a woman aiming for the head with a spear.

An aura carried by a fist exploded his torso, an aura carried by a sword slashed his leg, and a spear spinning in a spiral shattered his head.

Chimera collapsed without even giving a final word.

“Uh, uh, uh… .”

“Ooh, uh uh uh… !”

The two surviving Q-Tubes were stunned and groaned and even vomited. The five Hunters who had cleared the Chimera approached them frowning.

“Where did these guys suddenly appear?”

“I almost got into trouble.”

“Hey, were you filming a live video?”

Q-Tube, who came to his senses at their reaction, immediately knelt down.

“Sin, sorry! Oh, I knew it would be okay.”

“Huh, huh… Thank you, thank you for living! Thank you very much! Hunters!”

The two men, thrilled by the fact that they lived on content and what, bowed their heads.

“uh… He’s not our Hunter.”

“… Yes?”

“It’s done. Don’t risk your life to film something like this.”

The man who burst the body of the chimera with his bare fists, Ko Min-soo, frowned and stepped on his smartphone.

The two Q-tubers were startled, but soon shut their mouths.

“Hey, did all our faces come out?”

In the meantime, Joo Da-hyun, who checked the community, opened her eyes wide. Song Dae-beom approached and looked at his smartphone and frowned.

“No, it is already known that it is a special class. Look at the speed at which new things are revealed.”

“It must be because of Minsu and Noah.”

Yuhwarin said as if it was not a big deal. At those words, Inoa only smiled awkwardly.

“Ha, student… ?”

“Your younger than us… ?”

The two Q-tubers muttered in dismay. He looked young, but he didn’t know that he was a student.

They voluntarily went to the Surado Guild for training and got caught up in a situation.

During the evacuation, he saw that the Hunters of the Minor Guild were injured while dealing with the Chimera, so he dealt with the Chimera on their behalf.

“It’s strange… .”

“Why?”

“Other strongest players are showing up, but there is almost no talk about Master.”

Dahyun Ju frowned.

While I was looking at my community for a while, I searched for Kang Tae-min, but there was no news.

“… Where is Master?”

Where is Kang Tae-min doing at such an important moment?

* * *

“Shut up… !”

Taemin Kang looked at the torso. Despite all the torture, she didn’t open her mouth.

“Kihihik, Hut, Good job, Im… .”

Torso was breathing hard, but his eyes were wide open. Tenacity and obsession flowed out of her glittering eyes.

“I, head, l, do not betray, do… .”

Torso’s karma log was broken and unreadable, but Taemin Kang knew that what she said was the truth.

“… Then there will be no reason to delay any longer.”

Kang Tae-min gave up on the interrogation.

Even among the villains, there was bound to be a class that was unbreakable like this.

He pulled out the rip-and-tear.

Now, apart from the interrogation, it was the turn to condemn Torso. They treated unreliable people as material, and this time, they even carried out large-scale terrorism.

Killing her with a single knife was mercy, not punishment.

The saw blade spun with a chirping sound. Soggy blood and flesh clung to the saw blade.

“Quaaagh!”

Torso let out a scream.

My mind was delirious with pain and I felt death approaching. And the moment death was imminent, the boundary between consciousness and unconsciousness collapsed.

‘I don’t want to die!’

‘Help me, please…’ !’

‘I’ll do anything, anything!’

It could be dozens or hundreds or even thousands. Her head was filled with voices yearning for life.

It was thanks to the rise of the brain cells of the victims she had taken like trophies, and the fragments of the souls contained in them.

The desire to become one and the longing for survival were intertwined. Torso died in the process.

and fused again.

“… Well?”

Kang Tae-min sensed something unusual.

It was because when I pulled out the rip anti-tear stuck in Torso’s body, the part that had been stuck completely disappeared.

‘This?’

Then he felt the subspace tearing. It was not his will.

Space warped around the torso.

‘Barrier area!’

The dark space turned into a pale pink mucous membrane. The floor, walls and ceiling were all full of life.

Torso’s body was scattered as if it were melting into the mucous membrane, and at the same time, all sides began to wriggle and move.

“It’s fine.”

“Do not worry about it.”

Then, through the mucous membrane, what appeared to be a head protruded and made a voice. Some of them were human, but there were also things that looked like beasts and monster heads.

“I am you.”

“You are me too.”

“We are one.”

“There is no need for distinction.”

Each head burst through the mucous membranes, emitting a ghastly voice.

‘Is this a Chimera spawning ground?’

Taemin Kang frowned.

The protruding monsters were grotesque. It seemed like this would be the form if God divided the body parts of various creatures, held them in both hands, and put them together and mash them.

“Let’s become one.”

“You don’t have to fight.”

“There is no need to worry.”

The problem was that these monsters weren’t alone. The chimeras tearing through the mucous membrane approached Kang Tae-min.

“Everyone is happy.”

“We are peace.”

“This is paradise.”

Taemin Kang stretched out his hand towards the nearest Chimera.

“No one wants you.”

“I won’t deny it.”

The Chimera’s arms stretched out to grasp the hand. Arms grew from arms and hands grew from hands, just as branches grow.

But what came into contact with it.

“yes.”

It was a sharp, cold saw blade. Kang Tae-min restored the broken lip and tear. that was his answer.

“Even death will not reject you.”

The chimera’s body was fragmented and scattered. A helmet stained red through the spray of blood exploding in all directions, and blue eyes shimmering beyond the visor.

it wasn’t one

“Where do you accept me?”

Iron men in suits poured out. Kang Tae-min’s alter ego slaughtered the Chimera.

“Quaaagh!”

“me!”

“I refuse!”

“mind!

Abigyuhwan (阿鼻叫喚).

Screams and cries, voices filled with resentment, the thick smell of blood and soggy flesh.

Kang Tae-min started turning Torso’s paradise into hell.

* * *

“ah… .”

“Why is that?”

At Rex’s question, No Name sighed deeply.

“… Don’t you like the drink?”

There was thick tomato juice in front of No Name.

They were seated in a messy cafe. It was clear that people left in a hurry due to emergency evacuation.

“Well? Oh no. You have to be able to taste it properly.”

No Name laughed while shaking the tomato juice.

“Torso used the barrier area.”

“That word… .”

“It was an opportunity I had been saving to become one with me, but it seems that I was put on the defensive.”

“Shall we go get it?”

At Rex’s question, No-Name stopped moving. She vaguely felt that No Name was looking at her.

“Rex, do you want it?”

“… I want to follow your orders.”

“It means you don’t want to.”

Rex kept his mouth shut. No Name poured tomato juice. The contents were gone, so Rex guessed he had drunk it.

“Torso’s wish did not come true. I just feel sorry for that fact.”

“She would have been delighted too. Because I contributed for the head.”

“I should be grateful too. Another rift has opened in the world, thanks to which I can taste the taste of tomato juice.”

He let out a light laugh and looked out the window.

There was thunder in a whirlwind of fire. Through the roar and flash of light, the charred figure of the Chimera caught a glimpse, then disappeared.

“Is this the last area?”

“Yes, guild leader.”

It was Johanna’s skill.

The Veritas guild members bowed their heads politely and replied. They were passing right next to the cafe with No Name.

Strangely, however, no one looked towards the cafe.

“There are no requests for assistance from other districts… Don’t leave the rest of the arrangements to me.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“The chimera corpse… ”

Johanna hesitated and shut her mouth. The other guild members looked at her with puzzled eyes.

“Why is that?”

Johanna stared at the cafe. The other guild members followed that line of sight and averted their eyes, but nothing was visible.

“Guild leader… .”

The moment I was about to ask again, the cafe exploded with a bang. In the blink of an eye, Johanna poured down a bombardment with magic.

“Hey, guild leader?!”

“Why are you here… ?”

The guild members widened their eyes in embarrassment at the sudden tyranny and the scene inside the cafe that had become a mess.

Johanna wrinkled her nose slightly.

‘… I think there was something.’

Could it be because of my nervousness? I felt uncomfortable in a cafe with no one around.

‘Well, it’s gone, so it doesn’t matter.’

The cafe exploded and that feeling was gone. She decided not to care any more.

‘By the way, there is no news from Torso yet.’

There was something else that bothered me more than that.

* * *

“You’re tough.”

It was Kang Tae-min’s short comment.

I wasn’t just talking about the feeling of cutting a chimera’s body.

The battle between the alter ego and the Chimera was still going on.

‘The dead chimera returns to the mucous membrane and appears as a chimera again.’

It reminded me of the barrier area of Puppeteer, where he created countless alter egos.

Based on that experience, Kang Tae-min thought that the main body of the torso would be among these chimeras.

But no.

‘These words are real.’

I also tried to process them all at once.

However, the barrier area did not collapse.

– We are one.

– There is no need to distinguish.

Simply dealing with the chimera did not solve the problem. The ‘we’ the Chimera said did not mean only the Chimera.

‘This boundary area itself must be the core.’

In order to escape, the space itself must be erased.

The problem was that, like chimeras, even if one side was removed, the other side would fuse and pop out.

“Now me.”

“Accept.”

“When we become one.”

“It’s over.”

The Chimeras urged them to become one without getting tired. The clones erased the boring voice.

“yes. I have to leave it up to you.”

Kang Tae-min lowered the rip-and-tear. The clones also followed him.

The chimeras came wriggling. Smiles bloomed on many heads.

“Accept me.”

The light inside the visor changed from blue to green. Along with that, the alter ego’s suit began to discolor.

Then, the mucous membrane on the floor they stepped on began to decay rapidly.

“Until it rots away.”

The effect of the artifact ‘Venom Cainine’.

What lives is bound to rot.

That was Kang Tae-min’s answer.
