Chapter 6

Beginning of the War (1)

“Ooh!”

“Wek! Aigoo! I-I will die…!”

The men vomiting on the floor hurriedly got up and disappeared .

After losing a few drinks, they realized what a shameful appearance they were showing .

“Thank you . Thank you for helping me escape . ”

The woman said while respectfully bowing to Kang-jun .

Kang-jun’s eyes widened with surprise .

Come to think of it, the woman’s face was fantastic . Jewel like eyes and shining hair! The moist, pink lips beneath the nose! The perfectly curved waist line!

It was no wonder why the drunks lost themselves .

Well, that wasn’t important right now .

“What did I do? Anyway, I am quite busy . ”

“Wait a minute . Let me buy you some coffee for the help…”

“That’s okay . Please be careful from now on . Many humans turn into dogs after drinking at night . ”

After saying that, Kang-jun moved away as swiftly as the wind .

The woman Yoo Seo-rin stared after him with a strange expression . She had thanked Kang-jun for his courageous actions . But was it normal to shrug that off from someone with her appearance? He just walked away like nothing had happened .

‘An unusual person . ’

Yoo Seo-rin looked at Kang-jun who was limping away .

On the other hand, Kang-jun was walking away as quickly as possible .

In fact, he inwardly thought it was a pity . It was a rare opportunity to drink coffee with a pretty girl . But right now he was in a hurry .

‘I need to quickly gather black magic energy to open the door to Hwanmong . ’

If he opened the door to Hwanmong then the first mission would be completed . He could also level up so it was the most important job right now .

How long did he walk thinking about it?

‘This place is?’

It was the park . And the scene that Kang-jun’s eyes caught!

High school students seemed to be engaged in a fight . No, it was more like one person was being hit than a fight .

Peok peok!

“Ugh!”

“Ack!”

Three boys were being surrounded by 10 people and seemed to be in a serious situation at first glance .

“Hey you! What are you doing?”

Kang-jun stared screaming .

In fact, it wasn’t easy to interfere in fights with bad students . Adults who tried to interfere would be badly beaten or even killed by the street youths .

Therefore, Kang-jun wouldn’t have called the police even if both his legs were working . Of course, that was the Kang-jun yesterday . But now Kang-jun was different .

“Stop it quickly!”

Kang-jun yelled while approaching .

Then a few students turned and glared at Kang-jun .

“What is this brat saying?”

“Crazy?”

They were dumbfounded when they verified that Kang-jun was alone .

“Hey, hyung! Just go . ”

“This X! Meddling for nothing . ”

“If you don’t want to get hit then get lost!”

“Kik! Look at his lame leg . What is he going to do with that?”

“Eh, he is just a stupid cripple!”

Kang-jun stiffened at this moment .

‘These guys are the real thing . ’

However, he had no intention of fighting . He didn’t want to feel the punishment he had dealt out .

No .

He couldn’t just face one or two people . If he gathered black magic energy individually then it would take too long to open the door to Hwanmong .

The mission was more important right now . Kang-jun used superhuman patience and refrained from replying .

Light flashed in his eyes .

The groups of students laughing suddenly stiffened like they had been struck by lightning .

“……!”

“……!”

It suddenly became quiet . The complexion of the students turned white but no noises could be heard .

What happened?

They couldn’t move like their bodies had turned to stone . Their mouths couldn’t open . Tongue and lips seemed paralyzed .

‘Ohh!’

‘Ugh! Mu mouth isn’t moving!’

It gave them tremendous fear . It seemed like they would be mute with terror forever . They were in a terrible state where they couldn’t even eat or drink water .

But there was even more .

They could only see darkness . Nothing was visible except darkness . In addition, there was no sound .

Following the attack, their hearing and vision would become paralyzed .

Petrification! The people felt like they had been turned to stone .

Ah, how could they live in this state? They would rather die .

Tears formed in their eyes but couldn’t drop . They couldn’t feel any of their senses .

‘Tsk . ’

Kang-jun clicked his tongue .

He was surprised as well . He just cursed them to stop the swearing but didn’t know it would make their mouths numb .

No, their whole bodies became numb . The black magic energy seemed much stronger compared to when he absorbed energy from the drunks . As a result, he was like a person who was unprepared to bring cows into a slaughterhouse .

‘Is it like a critical explosion?’

If this continued then he wouldn’t even need the punishment field . Maybe they would really die?

‘That’s not it . A paralysis will loosen after a while . ’

It was intuition . His instincts told him that . It was like he absorbed bizarre knowledge along with the black magic energy .

In other words, black magic granted temporary fear but it didn’t do any actual harm!

[Black Magic Energy 53/100]

[Filling up the black magic energy will open the door to Hwanmong . ]

Thanks to absorbing black magic from 13 people, his points went over the halfway mark .

“Ohh!”

“I-I can move my mouth . ”

“My body is moving!”

“Ah! My eyes can see again!”

The paralyzed students started moving again . But they panicked when they looked at Kang-jun . It seemed like they were looking at a ghost or monster .

It was a natural reaction .

Kang-jun stared at them and said .

“Why are you bullying other people? And cursing at me? Are you sure you have nothing to fear in this world?”

“I-I was wrong . ”

“I won’t do it again . ”

The students flinched and answered . They were so intimidated it was difficult for them to stand up straight . Kang-jun didn’t know if they heard his words or not . Would disciplining them do any good?

“You, 112! And the one next to you, 119! Call them . ”

“Huh?”

“Call straight away! Don’t you know what that means?”

“Ah, I know . ”

The frozen students took out their smartphones to call .

They were more afraid of Kang-jun so they felt relieved when he told them to call the police . In fact, it seemed like a better idea to be caught by the police .

“Tell the police what happened here when they arrive . ”

“Yes . ”

“I will check it . If you tell a lie then I will ensure you stay permanently in that state . Do you understand?”

“U-understood . ”

Kang-jun glared at them furiously before leaving the park .

Eeeeng –

After a while, the siren sound of a police car came closer . He also heard the some of 119 emergency vehicles .

‘They will take care of it . ’

Kang-jun had finished what he needed to do .

The police and 119 emergency services would take care of the rest . They were meant to deal with things like this .
