Chapter 74.

The 22 elite members of Evil Society quickly went to work . They first blocked out pathways off the stage, then decimated the security . Furthermore, they didn’t distinguish between security guards and ordinary civilians . Anyone who got in their way was cut down . As a result, the peaceful hall quickly turned into a scene from hell, and at the forefront of it all was Team 1’s executive, Neide .

He was a grade-1 wanted Djinn who was on the Association’s violet list .

“Heroes! Over here! Here!”

Zelen was attracting Heroes to himself in despair . Neide first shut his mouth, and let his underlings deal with the Heroes that came to help . Then, with nimble and fluid movements, he snatched the cube and the crystal inside .

At that moment, a man walked up to him .

“Where are you going? Let me introduce myself . I’m a high-rank Hero, Jin Xiangchen . ”

The man introduced himself in poor Korean . Neide stared at him silently . He had no plans to waste time fighting a high-rank Hero .

With a smirk, Neide’s body multiplied . Eight clones of Neide appeared in a flash .

“What a troublesome ability . ”

Jin Xiangchen prepared to fight all eight bodies simultaneously, but Neide had no intention of attacking .

The eight Neides ran away, splitting up in eight directions .

“Y-You motherfucker . ”

Xiangchen pondered .

Which direction should he choose?

After thinking for a moment, he chose to follow the one running eastward .

Meanwhile, Boss was staring at the stage through the darkness . When Neide split up and ran away, she began to walk not east but north .

“Hmm . ”

…From the midst of darkness, a short breath came out .

A man who was observing the situation slowly raised his body . Walking through the darkness, he grabbed the wrist of a Djinn who was about to cut down a man .

“Kuak!”

Twisting his wrist and making him drop his weapon, the man grabbed his neck .

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds…

The Djinn died, bleeding from all orifices .

Throwing the corpse aside, Kim Junwoo grabbed the sword the Djinn dropped . Next, he began to cut down every Djinn he came across, making his way to Chae Nayun’s party .

“Oppa!”

Chae Nayun and her friends ran up to him . Without a word, Kim Junwoo threw a Djinn’s sword over to Kim Suho . Kim Suho received it, staring at Kim Junwoo .

Kim Junwoo smiled .

“Shall we fight?”

**

Just like in the original story, Neide split into eight bodies and escaped .

Standing on the rooftop, I saw which Neide had the crystal .

To the east, there was a Hero chasing after Neide, but that one didn’t have the crystal .

To the south, Jain, who was disguised as a Djinn, was accompanying Neide . However, that Neide didn’t have the crystal either .

And to the north, the one Boss was chasing after should have the crystal according to the original story .

I closely watched the north side .

—Stop!

Twelve Djinns got in front of Boss .

Boss immediately unleashed her magic power, a tiny black ball of magic power that looked ordinary from the outside . However, the twelve Djinns were sucked into that tiny ball effortlessly . Then, they were twisted and distorted to the point of being unrecognizable .

Void Sphere .

It was a destructive ability that was only a tiny portion of Boss’ Gift .

After lightly shaking off the blockade, Boss chased after Neide . From now, she would easily steal the crystal from Neide’s hands .

I stared at Neide, who was still running away .

“…What?”

At that moment, my head shook .

This Neide didn’t have the crystal either . Again, the Neide in the north didn’t have the crystal .

“How… . ”

I quickly turned on my laptop . However, there were no alerts . If it wasn’t because of a settings change, then what changed the situation?

I broke out into cold sweat . My head felt numb, and my heart began to beat wildly .

I hurriedly looked around the hall, but I couldn’t find the crystal with so many people running around .

“… . ”

Suddenly, an idea popped up in my head .

Although I had never tried it, there was no time to waste .

I concentrated Stigma’s magic power on my retina .

No, to be exact, I concentrated it around my Gift, ‘Master Sharpshooter – Thousand-Mile Eyes’ .

Stigma’s magic power moved and exerted itself according to my will . In that case, it should be possible to strengthen the Thousand-Mile Eyes for a moment… .

In an instant, the scope of my vision transformed .

Just like how satellites looked down on the earth, a wide range entered my sight .

Civilians hurriedly escaping the hall, Heroes fighting against Djinns, strange monster-like one-dimensional shapes summoned by Djinns to incite chaos, and… the white crystal I needed to find .

As the essence of magic power, the white crystal was easy to spot . The crystal was inside a fast-moving sedan . Inside the sedan was only one person .

Thwak—

However, with the sound of blood vessels being cut, my vision narrowed once again .

“…!”

I grabbed my eyes and knelt . I was struck with a pain so intense that I couldn’t even scream . However, I didn’t even have time to writhe in pain .

I took out the Desert Eagle . I planned to snipe the sedan . However, it seemed my Thousand-Mile Eyes were overloaded as I couldn’t aim properly .

Without a choice, I jumped down from the rooftop . It was thanks to Parkour’s power .

As soon as I landed on the ground, I looked for something to ride . My luck seemed to have helped me again as there was a motorbike parked nearby .

It was a black bike that looked expensive even at a glance .

I had experience driving a motorcycle since I often did delivery as a part-time job before going to the army .

“Everybody, stay calm as you evacuate!”

At that moment, I heard a familiar voice . It was Chae Nayun . Without a weapon, she was holding onto magic power condensed in the shape of a stick . Feeling somewhat bad, I shouted at Chae Nayun .

“Hey!”

“Uh, what, Kim Hajin!? Where have you…”

I took out the magic sword I kept in my Stigma and threw it at her .

“Be careful not to get hurt . ”

Then, I ran to the place where the bike was parked .

I didn’t need the key . As all car keys in this world were digital, I just had to hack into the bike with my laptop .

Sitting on the saddle, I muttered in a low voice .

“Scan . ”

The result was… 40% .

A jackpot . The number 40 was engraved on the body of the black bike .

Like so, Random Consolidation System also worked on vehicles .

“Hey, where are you going!?”

Chae Nayun hurriedly asked . I started the engine without answering her .

Vroooaaang—! The engine’s beast-like roar rang out .

“Whoa!”

The bike charged forward the moment I stepped on the accelerator . Its sheer speed was something I wouldn’t dare to wield .

Covering my insufficient driving skill as much as possible with my acute dynamic vision, I stormed down the road .

The direction was southeast . Pushing the air to the side, the bike rushed through like a streak of light .

Three minutes was enough to reach the goal .

At the end of the supersonic charge, I began to see the back of the sedan .

What I planned to do from now could only be described as daring .

I put Aether around the bike and pushed on the accelerator even harder .

The speed shot up endlessly . Piercing wind struck my body, and the air pressure prevented me from breathing .

Even so, I never let go of the gas .

…The bike rammed into the back of the sedan .

KWANG—!

The bike and sedan collided .

In most instances, the motorcycle would have been blown away . However, it was different this time .

The force of the collision caused the back of the sedan to shoot up . Overturned like a tin can, the sedan barreled through the air and slammed into the trunk of a tree .

“…Haa . ”

I stopped the bike and let out a breath I had been holding onto this entire time .

**

“… . ”

Chae Nayun stared blankly at what just happened . Her eyes and ears were solely focused on one spot . The bike that ran out into the road had already become a tiny dot .

To be completely honest, she just saw a scene of her dreams .

A lightspeed bike, and driving it masterfully in a cool manner…

“Kyaaak!”

However, a desperate shriek dragged her back to reality .

“What?”

Chae Nayun stared at the magic sword she received while she was in a daze .

‘Where did he get something this expensive? He said he won 2 billion won, so did he buy it with that? To give it to me? No, that can’t be… . ’

Regardless, it was undoubtedly helpful . With a grin, she imbued her magic power into the sword .

Wiing—

A clean, sharp blade of magic power rose up .

“…Huup . ”

Chae Nayun continued to imbue magic power into the sword . The blade continued to get longer until the blade eventually reached 4 meters in length . The blade burned clearly without a single blemish, showing the world the power of her true Gift .

“Someone save me!”

At that moment, someone’s scream struck her ears .

Chae Nayun shouted with the sword in her hand .

“I’m coming!”

**

I approached the overturned sedan . The magic power that flowed out of Stigma gathered in my hand and formed the Desert Eagle .

Drkk—

The sedan’s driver seat door opened, and a Djinn crawled out . He was holding a suitcase in hand .

“Crazy bastard…”

The Djinn cursed as he glared at me .

“You’re dead . ”

Where did his confidence come from? When I pondered, I saw a flashing object in the distance . It was an aerial carrier with a stealth function . The Djinn’s face brightened .

However, I took out my laptop extremely casually .

“O-Over here! Brothers! Over here!”

The Djinn even shot a flare gun to announce his position .

I didn’t stop him . No, I didn’t need to . Instead, I used the laptop to connect to a [peripheral server] .

‘A0936-B Carrier’ .

I needed 100 SP to access it . I felt a bit regretful, but it was still worth paying .

Tak .

I closed the laptop .

Suddenly, the carrier began to move backward .

“A-Ah, w-where are you going!? Over here, I said!! HEY! WHERE ARE YOU FUCKING GOING!? I mean, where are you going, sirs? Guys??”

The moment the Djinn was coughing up blood and going insane…

A terrifying wind pressure blew, and something huge fell down on the ground .

KOONG!

Shock waves shook the area at the moment of landing . A rock accompanied the shockwave, striking his head and crushing it .

I stared at what landed .

“… . ”

A giant over 2 . 2 meters . This man, who gave off an overwhelming presence just by standing, was a man who could be said to be the strongest in close ranged combat – Cheok Jungyeong .

However, a girl was caught in his hand like a pet .

“L-Let go! Let me go!”

Rachel struggled as much as she could, but Cheok Jungyeong didn’t even flinch .

“Let me go! This is England’s territory, and I am England’s princess… . ”

When I stared at her, Cheok Jungyeong spoke with a smirk .

“Oh, this girl? It looked like she was following you, so I brought her . ”

Rachel met my eyes . She clenched her teeth . Leaving Rachel alone for a moment, I picked up the now ownerless suitcase .

Cheok Jungyeong then spoke softly .

“Put that down . ”

I retorted briefly .

“You first . ”

“… . ”

Cheok Jungyeong didn’t respond . He only stared at me with the eyes of a dead fish .

Without a choice, I pointed my gun at the suitcase . Immediately, Cheok Jungyeong’s expression changed .

“Eh? Hey, hey, do you know how much that’s worth?”

Without answering him, I transformed the Desert Eagle from a handgun to a shotgun .

“Fine, you want to try me? Let’s see who’s faster . Me ripping of this girl’s head, or you drilling a hole through that suitcase . ”

I put my finger on the trigger .

For a moment, an intimidating confrontation continued, but soon, Cheo Jungyeong sighed as though he was giving up .

“…Fine, little bastard . ”

Then he threw Rachel at me .

“Kyaa!”

Rachel fell at my feet . I was curious why Rachel was here, but now wasn’t the time to ask .

Cheok Jungyeong’s heavy voice knocked on my ears .

“Now, put that down . ”

“… . ”

In the first place, this crystal wasn’t something I could handle . The ideal plan was to give it to Rachel to make it the English Royal Court’s possession, but it was impossible now that Cheok Jungyeong was here .

“Fine . ”

I threw the suitcase down without hesitation . Cheok Jungyeong picked up the suitcase . In his hands, it looked more like a purse .

It was then .

Wiiing—

A fly landed on my nose, distracting me for a second .

But in the next moment .

A fierce wind blew towards me .

All the hair on my body flew backward . I couldn’t think . When I looked forward, a head-sized fist was in front of me . Beyond the fist, Cheok Jungyeong made a satisfied smile .

In the blink of an eye, Cheok Jungyeong had charged towards me and stretched out his fist .

3 cm .

Just 3 cm closer and my head would have been crushed .

“…Looks like you aren’t so rotten . ”

Cheok Jungyeong seemed satisfied at my calm(?) response as he turned back with those few words .

His heavy steps resounded .

My body didn’t move until he completely disappeared . My head was completely blank, not a single thought existing in it .

My body and conscious were frozen .
