Chapter 49 (2/2)

The distance was too narrow for people to completely follow Chang Ga-ram's order. I triggered Darkness Cloud. There was a ma.s.s of darkness that was a few meters in diameter. However, Chang Ga-ram had already seen this technique once and was aware of its weakness. He aimed for the center of the darkness where my head and chest were, shooting five large icicles.

The Darkness Cloud moved around me. Aiming for the middle was right, but the height was wrong. It went straight through the air. The moment I activated the Darkness Cloud, I had slid to the ground. As I narrowed the distance, I took actions to avoid falling while stooping down. I aimed from below.

I felt something cold pa.s.sing over my head. After the sliding tackle, I firmly pushed against the ground with my hand. My body rose up and I threw a kick.

Jjejeok!

Thick walls of ice were covering Chang Ga-ram's face and body. I didn't know if I could penetrate through them, but that wasn't my aim from the beginning.

Bakak!

My kick successfully hit his right shoulder. Chang Ga-ram's upper right torso was pushed back.

[Current Balance: 439/741. Burning. Poisoned.]

Around 35 health was returned due to blood-sucking. The subsequent kick hit his left hand, that he had subconsciously raised to block to body. This time, 27 HP was received.  Chang Ga-ram's body couldn't overcome the impact of the kick and jerked to the right. I didn't kill him, but now Chang Ga-ram couldn't completely use his two hands.

Teong!

Chang Ga-ram's body rolled several times on the floor, and was still completely covered in ice. However, it wasn't a form of armor. Inside the ma.s.s of ice, Chang Ga-ram with disabled arms could be seen. It was like a type of airbag. I flew straight towards the ma.s.s of ice. It was to use it rather than break it.

Tang!

Teteng!

The various arrows aimed at me hit the lump of ice instead. The other people kept attacking despite hitting Chang Ga-ram. They knew his strength. In fact, despite the numerous attacks striking against the surface, the ice showed no signs of damage. I tested out how hard the ice was.

Tong!

Jjeok. A fist-shaped mark appeared, but it was only on the surface of the thick ice.  The ice also affected my hand.

If I swung my fist constantly then I would be able to break it, but… The problem was the lack of time. It had already been a few minutes since Yoon Chan-hee left the party. I needed to clean up this situation as quickly as possible and then stop Yoon Chan-hee.

If I couldn't… At the very least, I could eliminate his weapons.

Not all the people over there would have the same defensive skills as this chunk of ice. I took out another can from my inventory. My body, where the flames had almost subsided, once again became covered with oil.

Hwakak!

I was now familiar with this sensation as I walked towards the ice cube.

“Let's finish this quickly.” I declared.

A BBQ party.

It could clearly feel it. The pressure on the eggsh.e.l.l was gradually weakening.

Duong. Duong. Duong.

It was finally going to be able to get out.  Its beating became more vigorous than before. The larva, trapped in the egg, pulsed.

”Yes. Wait a bit more.” Yoon Chan-hee was surprised at the vibrations coming from the small egg as he manipulated the levers of the generator. It took a little time to learn, but he quickly recognized the levers that controlled the egg.

Buuuuong.

The generator quickly recovered its power. The pressure on the egg lifted, revealing a light green colour instead of the amber.

Duong!

There was one last beating.

Rattle.

Fluid emerged through a crack in the egg.  It extended its head. It took its first breath. The thing that emerged from the egg looked like a caterpillar.

”…” Yoon Chan-hee stood in front of it.  At first glance, it looked disgusting, but it would eventually take a form suited for its master.

”Come.” Yoon Chan-hee opened his arms to it.

Saeeek!

It jumped like a bullet from the egg and into Yoon Chan-hee's body.  This person had been hoping for a partner, it could clearly feel his emotions from a distance. Above all, he was a master with a solid and stable desire.

Like a cub held by its mother, the larva melted into Yoon Chan-hee's skin. Yes, to the sacred creature, Yoon Chan-hee was… ”I am your master.”

He was the best prey.

Duong!

”…Uh?” The ringing sound spread from his chest to his head. A stupid moan emerged from Yoon Chan-hee's mouth. ”Ah… U…”

The sacred creature was to be delivered to the emperor. The journal cut off there. There was one egg in the hatchery. Yoon Chan-hee wasn't rash. Hee-chul had probably made the same judgement. It was clear that the egg was to be delivered to the emperor.

But that was the end of the journal.  Still, it was 'before completion.'

The researchers wanted to create a sacred creature suitable for the emperor. It would contain superior traits that would be qualitatively different from the previous experiments. The result was a failure.

The nature of livestock was to be dependent on humans and submit to them. The work of erasing the realization that there were beings higher than humans didn't succeed. It recognized that the human wasn't its master, but its food supply.  They were just food itself.

”Ah… Ahhhhh!” Yoon Chan-hee's image of the world was devastated.

His desires and willpower were being sucked out by the sacred creature. The feelings that it had never once experienced in its life. The feelings of defeat, despair, humiliation and inferiority inside Yoon Chan-hee's head.

Of course it was irresistible. However, this was his mind. Yoon Chan-hee focused his mind. 'You. Get out of my head right now.' But the sacred creature didn't listen.

'Shut up.'

”… Euh.”

It wasn't a matter of mental power. Even if the world was different, Yoon Chan-hee was a human.  His opponent was the fragment of a G.o.d. It was also a monster that had superior traits combined with magic.

The larva, who had already tasted desires, didn't stop eating. Yoon Chan-hee put up a good fight. But just as a child succ.u.mbed to their parents, he lost control of his legs. He sank to the ground and urinated.

Within a short time, the sacred creature had completely made Yoon Chan-hee's mind its perfect meal. It wasn't enough. It wasn't a problem of quant.i.ty.  It had been starving for too long. It wanted to absorb more diverse foods.

Suuuuoh.

The sacred creature left Yoon Chan-hee's body.  'That' had already succ.u.mbed to the sacred creature. But it wasn't the end of the delicious food. There was one food nearby that seemed absolutely tasty…

Chobeok.

The sacred creature was attracted by the desires it felt, not the footsteps.

”What is this?” He breathed out.  Hee-chul, whose body was in a mess due to the fire, stared at the bug in front of him.
