Chapter 122: Episode 24 – Things that Can Be Changed (2)

In short, the small people were ‘human beings’ but they weren’t from ‘Earth’ like I was . There was a clear contradiction in opposing the human race of another planet .

Therefore, my current actions were due to the enormous ethics of ‘humanity’ or ‘justice . ’ If I opposed the ‘small people’ here then I would miss out on the achievement I needed for the ending .

This was the only reason I needed to stab Blade of Faith into the ground .

[The Star Stream has detected anomalies from you . ]

[Warning . Be careful to avoid being hostile to other disasters . ]

[If the hostile acts are repeatedly accumulated…]

Dust flew up and the Japanese screamed as they lost their vision inside the dust .

“Uwaaaaack! “What is this all of a sudden?”

“Cough cough!”

It was a blow filled with considerable power so the dust didn’t sink easily .

[A small planet’s constellation is touching his chest . ]

I was troubled for a moment . If I killed them with my own hands, I would be able to get a new scenario right away .

However, the penalty for it would be tremendous . I wanted to delay that moment as much as possible . That’s why, at least…

“Ahjussi, I’ll do it this time . ” Shin Yoosung pulled out a dagger that she had received from Yoo Sangah and stepped forward . “I will deal with both of them . ”

“Can you do it?”

“It won’t be a problem . ”

She was like Lee Gilyoung . I didn’t know why kids were so proud these days . Yoo Sangah would’ve stopped her but I wasn’t Yoo Sangah .

I encouraged Shin Yoosung . “You shouldn’t fight for a long time . Did you hear the penalty message just now? You should handle them as quickly as possible . ”

My options in this scenario would be wider if Shin Yoosung could deal with both these people .

I had a lot to do in Peace Land . Among them, one of the most important goals was to catch the ‘snake’ that Persephone mentioned . If I didn’t get any penalties in advance then I might be able to catch the snake earlier than expected .

“What bastard did this?”

Shin Yoosung ran through the dust towards where the voice was heard . At almost the same time, I hid myself using Recluse’s Cloak . It would be an invalid item if they had high level detection skills but these guys didn’t seem to have it .

Sharp magic power emerged from Shin Yoosung’s dagger and moved in a half moon arc .

“Uwah!”

The Japanese people withdrew from the dust . The earlier move that created the dust had been intentional . I missed a golden opportunity but there was a way to defeat them without me fighting .

The Japanese people were surprised when the child appeared in the dust .

“What, this kid?”

The Japanese incarnations spoke to Shin Yoosung .

“Kid, why are you stopping us?”

“Don’t you know what will happen if you do this?”

Unfortunately, it just sounded like a foreign language to Shin Yoosung who didn’t have the Interpreter skill .

“…What are you saying?”

Now the Japanese people noticed the situation .

“Are you perhaps from South Korea?”

“Ah, that’s right! This time, the first Korean group entered…”

“Dammit, the first group will be huge…?”

Their complexions suddenly darkened .

“Kid, get lost . We don’t have to fight each other . ”

“Don fight! Don fight! Okay?” (TL: They’re speaking in bad english)

“We just have to kill them . Small people . Kill! Okay?” (TL: They’re speaking in bad english)

The Japanese said they had no intention of fighting in poor English but Shin Yoosung just shook her head . Her sharp dagger pointed at them and the Japanese people shrugged .

“Get lost or die . It is one of these two options . ”

The Japanese started to slowly step back from Shin Yoosung .

“Damn… this doesn’t make sense . There isn’t a bounty scenario . ”

“My sponsor wants me to kill this little kid?”

“Aren’t there two of us?”

“Did you forget the fighting power of our first group?”

“Uh…”

They were clever people .

Everywhere in the world, those selected for the sixth scenario were the elites of their country . In Japan, the gap between the first group and those who came afterwards was probably considerable . Similar emotions emerged on the faces of the two Japanese .

「 …Should we run away? 」

On the other hand, strange delight spread among the small people as they watched the confrontation between Shin Yoosung and the Japanese .

“Ah, ahh…

“Why…?”

They were shocked . A small disaster was suddenly fighting against a bigger disaster .

“Perhaps it is the small savior?”

“Yes, the prophecy was right!”

[A small planet’s constellation is supporting the incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung . ’]

[A small planet’s constellation has sponsored 10 coins to the incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung . ’]

[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has received the possibility of a new scenario . ]

I watched the scene while grasping the hilt of my sword . It was a bit underhanded but it was a way to chase them if they ran away .

As I thought, things wouldn’t go so smoothly . The intermediate dokkaebi watched from the air and giggled .

[Japanese incarnations, you might think you are disadvantaged but are you really?]

In any case, this damn dokkaebi . The Japanese people realized something and muttered, “Ah, that’s right! That reminds me, the first group…”

“Didn’t Asuka become affected by a mutation? The Korean people would be affected by the same thing . I’m telling you now…”

“There is no need to tell me . In any case, she is just a Korean chibi . ”

The eyes of the Japanese people changed after they made a decision . Both of them stared at Shin Yoosung with killing intent .

“Yes, let’s fight once . ”

“I don’t like children…”

They let out unpleasant laughs . Shin Yoosung didn’t understand the words but she immediately grasped the situation . Their blades moved as the two men slowly surrounded Shin Yoosung .

The killing intent around all three people rose while the two men moved simultaneously .

Shin Yoosung had raised her agility to the maximum and avoided their blades without much difficulty . However, the difference was narrow .

These men might not be the best elites of Japan but they were part of the top incarnations . I saw their swordsmanship and was reminded of a description in Ways of Survival .

They used only one sword instead of two and it wasn’t the Large Rock Style . This meant I didn’t need to worry about them being Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro, some of Japan’s top swordsmen .

It wasn’t bad for Shin Yoosung’s debut .

“It will be hard for you to keep running Kid!”

Their aura became even sharper as their sponsors lent them power . The blade that wanted to cut the legs aimed at the legs while the blade that wanted to cut the arms aimed at the neck . It was natural to step back at the attack .

However, Shin Yoosung’s movements were caught by the swordsmen . No matter how high Shin Yoosung’s overall stats, the swordsmen’s combat skills were overwhelming superior . Shin Yoosung’s collar was cut and a small line formed on her arms .

I firmly held the hilt and prepared to move at any time . It was a pity that I couldn’t act properly as her sponsor .

“Die!”

The Japanese cried out in an exaggerated tone and aimed at other parts of Shin Yoosung’s body . This time Shin Yoosung didn’t try to escape .

Shin Yoosung was weak in strength and lost her grip on her dagger . The Japanese took this chance to dig through the gap .

However, Shin Yoosung didn’t panic .

[The character ‘Shin Yoosung’ has used ‘Advanced Diverse Communication Lv . 3 . ’]

Rather, she turned back and settled on the back of the monster waiting for her . It was a steel wolf .

“…What?”

It was the right judgment . The basis of fighting was to minimize the opponent’s advantage and maximize your advantages .

Awoooooo!

There were the cries of the wolves as dozens of steel wolves simultaneously emerged from the forest . She had tamed so many wolves in such a short time . She truly was the future ‘Beast Lord . ’

“Shit!”

The surprised men swung their swords at the wolves but the wolves were already biting onto their arms and legs .

“Fuck! These bastards!”

They might be weakened 7th grade monsters but the two people would have to consume a lot of magic power to deal with them .

It was truly a rewarding sight . However, Shin Yoosung was still unaware of something . This was why I warned her not to waste time .

[The Star Stream has detected abnormal behaviour from the incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung . ’]

[Hostile acts against a disaster have been detected . ]

[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has been given a first scenario penalty . ]

The penalty had finally begun .

“Uh…?”

Shin Yoosung groaned as she suddenly felt less magic power . Some wolves suddenly left Shin Yoosung’s control and returned to the forest .

[The character Shin Yoosung’s body size has decreased . ]

[The character Shin Yoosung’s total stats has decreased . ]

The Japanese also noticed it .

“T-That’s it! I knew this would happen!”

“Just a little longer!”

…It ended up like this . Shin Yoosung glanced at me with anxious eyes . I approached behind Shin Yoosung using Recluse’s Cloak and touched her shoulder .

Shin Yoosung’s trembling subsided . “…Thank you Ahjussi . ”

Shin Yoosung understood something and bit her lips .

[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has been given a second scenario penalty . ]

Shin Yoosung’s body size was getting smaller . That’s right, this was the result of a disaster abandoning their authority . Still, she had enough power remaining to take away the lives of the Japanese people .

Shin Yoosung showed the highest agility level and approached their backs using the beast .

“A-Aaaagh!”

Did she learn from watching Yoo Sangah? Shin Yoosung stabbed her dagger in a poisonous manner . Her dagger moved and a man’s carotid artery was cut .

“K-Kuoock, r-ridiculous…”

The man paled as blood gushed from him and he fell to the ground .

[The character ‘Shin Yoosung’ has defeated the ‘disaster without a name . ’]

[Major contributor: Shin Yoosung]

Shin Yoosung wiped the blood that splattered onto her cheek and moved to the next target . The man was terrified and stepped back . The steel wolves rushed in and bit his arms and legs .

“Kuaaack!”

Shin Yoosung approached to cut off the man’s breathing . It all happened in an instant .

[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has been completely deprived of the rights of a disaster . ]

[The dokkaebi of the Star Stream sees Shin Yoosung’s behavior as taking action against the scenario . ]

[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has been given a third scenario penalty . ]

[The small person transformation will begin . ]

In this scenario, a person who gave up their qualification to be a predatory species would become the prey . Shin Yoosung’s body became smaller at an incomparable rate .

“Ah…?”

There was a small groan as Shin Yoosung’s clothes became too big and her dagger fell to the ground . Shin Yoosung’s height shrank from my waist, to my knees and finally to my shins . Then Shin Yoosung’s body was buried in her clothes .

Her stats diminished and her control became weaker, causing the steel wolves to return to the forest . A small Shin Yoosung emerged from her clothes and lumped towards the man .

“Yoosung, you can stop . ”

Shin Yoosung gasped for breath . There was a mixture of poisonous anger and grief in her eyes . There had been many fights with monsters but this was probably the first time she committed a serious killing .

“He is already knocked out . ”

Shin Yoosung stared at the fallen Japanese man . He was lying on the floor while foaming at the mouth . I tore away a bit of my clothes and covered Shin Yoosung’s body .

Shin Yoosung was as small as my fist and observed her body for a while . She probably realized what had happened to her . “We have to fight them in this state?”

“Yes . ”

“…How many are left?”

“A lot . ”

Shin Yoosung looked up at me with a complicated gaze . “Ahjussi, did you know? We will become a small person if we are hostile to the disasters . ”

I nodded and approached the fallen Japanese man . I checked and he was in his early 20s at best . He was still breathing .

“Are you going to use this person?” Shin Yoosung asked me .

“There is a person I have to kill before I change . ”

New messages rose as soon as I said this .

]Be careful to avoid being hostile to other disasters . ]

[Those who are hostile to disasters will lose the right to be a disaster . ]

There was still a dokkaebi having fun in the sky . Yes… Laugh while you can .

[The Star Stream thinks that your ‘disaster activities’ isn’t enough . ]

[If you don’t kill the rule of Peace Land in the next hour, you will be deemed as unwilling to act as a disaster and will be deprived of the status of a ‘disaster . ’]

I looked down at the Japanese man and slowly took off my cloak . There was one hour remaining . In this one hour, I had to catch their ‘king . ’
