Chapter 62: Evil Spirit Possession (2)

The monster flinched .

A strong presence was felt from Kang-jun!

It meant a strong being that they couldn’t beat .

However, there was no way to avoid fighting in the battle field . A place where they would die if they didn’t kill!

The monsters knew this fact and had no choice but to aim their tentacles towards Kang-jun .

“Kiiii!”

"Kukaaaah!”

Chwack! Chwack! Chwack chwack chwack!

The three monsters moved their tentacles at the same time so the entire space was filled with tentacles . It was like there were more than 100 snakes in the area .

Pak! Supaak!

Kang-jun calmly cut off the tentacles .

He didn’t need to use any skills .

The severed tentacles turned into small slime monsters, however Kang-jun’s sword had already destroyed the hearts that were the source of the monsters’ power .

‘It is bland . ’

[Experience has been gained . ]

[32 nodes have been gained . ]

[Experience has been gained . ]

[37 nodes have been gained . ]

[Experience has been gained . ]

[One small moonstone has been acquired . ]

Kang-jun was startled .

'What? Experience and item drops . ’

Unlike Hwanmong, the battle field normally didn’t give any experience .

Surprisingly, the monsters in the Second Demon King’s army gave experience . Furthermore, he got nodes and a moonstone!

‘This is?'

Kang-jun’s eyes shone . It meant that the experience was real, not virtual .

In other words, the monsters were really killed by Kang-jun’s strikes .

[You have won . ]

[25 black magic energy points have been acquired . ]

Their black magic energy went to Kang-jun .

25 black magic energy points was the amount consumed when using a management skill . It was all filled up .

Sususu .

The battle field immediately disappeared . The battle only took 20 seconds, but in reality, it felt like time had stopped .

“Waaaah!"

The only difference was the expression of the homeless man holding the knife .

His face distorted . Then he flopped down on the ground .

“Ohh! No way! W-why did I do this . . . ?”

He trembled as he saw the bloodstained knife in his hand and the people collapsed near him .

"Freeze!"

"Get down!"

At that moment, the heavily armed police ran and grabbed the knife from his hand before handcuffing him .

Eeeeng –

After calling 119, the paramedics arrived and the situation started to be cleaned up .

Two people died and five were injured .

This would be reported as another incident of evil spirit possession . But people didn’t know why the homeless man suddenly lost strength and collapsed .

If Kang-jun hadn’t removed the evil spirits then what terrible catastrophe would have happened in the market?

Kang-jun stared after the police cars and ambulances with a bitter expression .

He felt sorry for the victimized people . They died for no reason, just because they were near a possessed man .

‘If I found him a little sooner then I might have prevented the incident . ’

Kang-jun went around the market to see if there was anybody else .

In the aftermath of the murders, the market was completely empty of guests . The merchants maintained their positions, but they all looked uneasy .

It was the same for the part time workers at Kang-jun’s underwear stall .

"Today, take a day off . ”

"Thank you, Boss-nim . But I don’t think I’ll be able to come tomorrow . I’m sorry . ”

"Me too . I can’t come back here because I’m too afraid . ”

The part time workers declared . Kang-jun nodded .

“I understand . I will try to clean up the stall . In the meantime, you both did really well so thank you . "

Kang-jun shook the hands of the two part time workers .

They had been very skillful and worked sincerely . If it wasn’t for them, Kang-jun wouldn’t have been able to read the books comfortably or use the management skills .

After a while, he headed to the market’s parking lot .

Kang-jun sat in the car and searched through his smartphone for a while .

It was impossible to comfortably read books when he knew that the Second Demon King’s creatures were attacking people in reality . He decided to actively look around for them .

He could help people as well as gain experience, nodes and moonstones from the creatures .

In the past, he had only been able to level up in Hwanmong . But now, there was a chance that he could even level up in reality .

So there was no reason to spend time reading books in reality . He would read on a semi-regular basis .

If possible, he would search for other places where incidents were occurring to increase his experience .

‘There are still incidents going on today . ’

This wasn’t just happening in Korea but all over the world .

On the Internet and SNS, there were reports about monsters and evil spirits .

There were even those who gathered the information and made maps . People marked the map whenever they found a place where evil spirits or monsters were .

The map of Seoul had many red dots all over the place . He zoomed into the map where there were no red dots .

Kang-jun recalled Colt’s words .

‘Didn’t he say that they can’t appear in the territory of the sovereigns?’

Indeed, there were no red dots in the vicinities of the Yugang, Dafeng, Echo, Sungkwang, Dain building, etc .

However, the radius around the Yugang and Dafeng buildings was much wider compared to the buildings that he only occupied .

This meant that the safety zone effect was stronger when the sovereign owned the building .

As he continued to look, he could see that there was a safe zone around the Seyoung building that Yoo Seung-hwan owned .

That wasn’t all .

He could find the locations of other sovereigns from the map .

Of course, there were still many obscure areas . But as more red dots formed, he could clearly see the safety zones around the sovereigns’ bases forming .

‘I got some unforeseen information . ’

However, this information wasn’t given unconditionally . Conversely, Kang-jun’s position would also be exposed to other sovereigns .

The positions of sovereigns could be figured out through this map .

‘I should be glad that the red moon is floating . ’

Otherwise, the world might have been confused by the war between sovereigns, not the appearance of evil spirits or monsters .

Anyway, the situation was now different .

The emergence of the Second Demon King! The situation had dramatically changed .

In the meantime, all the sovereigns hiding in the darkness were revealed . Now that sovereigns could no longer hide, the war between sovereigns would enter a new phase .

Of course, sovereigns were still unknown to the general public .

'Then shall I go hunting?’

Kang-jun searched the forums of the site containing the map for tips .

Rather than going where an evil spirit had once appeared, it would be better to find the information in real time .

Then he heard that a high school contained students possessed by evil spirits .

‘K High School?’

It was only five minutes from here .

Bururung .

Kang-jun quickly drove there .

"Aack!"

“Help me!”

After a while, Kang-jun arrived at the road next to K High School .

The school’s back gate .

There was a police car waiting there . Three police officers stood with a grim look like they were afraid to approach the school .

“Ah, crazy! When will support come?”

"Isn’t an incident occurring at this place?”

"Even if the army is mobilized, we will be the ones to die first . It has already been a few days since I last slept . ”

Kang-jun listened to their words as he glanced towards the school .

Teachers and hundreds of students were shaking in the middle of the playground .

It was due to the students possessed by the evil spirits .

Some of the teachers and students, including the principal, were captured and the police were dispatched to subdue this situation .

At that time, students with dark eyes dragged out a bloody man onto the central porch . It was the principal . After that, bloodied teachers, students and police officers were also dragged out .

“Kikikik! Who cares about the police? If anyone is confident then enter . ”

“Hihihi! First, I will kill the principal and then the teachers . And then you will all die!”

There were at least 20 students possessed by evil spirits . The police’s guns didn’t work . As soon as the policemen pointed their guns, they shivered and collapsed .

“Ah, fuck! How can I be afraid at school?”

“Sob . Mother . . . ”

"Please do something!”

The students in the playground were crying . The school’s front gate, back gate, fence etc . were all guarded by possessed students so they couldn’t escape .

If the police couldn’t do anything then who would protect them?

“Wait! Where are you going?”

"You shouldn’t go in there . ”

The police who were watching the back gate shouted urgently .

Then one possessed student laughing smugly at the back of the school fell down .

And a man walked leisurely into the school .

It was Kang-jun .

“Kiki! Who is this bastard?”

"How dare you?”

Two other nearby students rushed towards Kang-jun . Of course, they also fell down as they neared him .

Everyone who saw the scene was shocked .

The police couldn’t bring down the possessed students yet this man did it so easily!

Then the amazing sight occurred again .

This time it came from the main gate .

Two students standing there suddenly collapsed .

A woman in her 20s appeared . She wore a training suit with her hair tied back, and her slender figure was reminiscent of a model .

“Agassi (Young lady, used for addressing young, unknown females)! It is dangerous . ”

"I’ll be okay so you guys stay behind . ”

Two sturdy men dressed in suits came after her, but it was useless .

She used considerable force to push their hands away .

“Aigoo!”

"This strength!”

In the meantime, she walked from the main gate towards the front door of the school . Then she saw Kang-jun, who came from the other side .

Kang-jun could tell with one glance that she was a sovereign .

It wasn’t because she had a distinctive aura .

It was because she took care of two possessed students easily . It was easy to see .

Of course, he had been busy fighting the possessed students in the meantime .

"Who are you?”

The woman in front of him, Jang Seo-yeon asked . Kang-jun answered quietly .

"A person who came with the same purpose as you . ”

Then Jang Seo-yeon formed a mocking expression .

"I can guess that much . But I will take care of it, so get out of here . ”

Kang-jun shrugged .

"No matter how valuable the experience is, the situation is like this . Can’t you see how terrified the students are?”

It was human nature . Although they had the goal of levelling up as a sovereign, they also needed to help the students . It wasn’t the time to fight over experience .

Kang-jun ran straight to the central porch . If he didn’t take care of them quickly, an irreversible situation might occur .

Jang Seo-yeon came chasing behind Kang-jun .

“Wait . This is my area . ”

Kang-jun ignored her words and approached the possessed students . The possessed students felt a sense of crisis and focused on Kang-jun and Jang Seo-yeon .

Even the ones far away ran like the wind and gathered in front of the central porch .

"Kikiki! I will try it once . ”

“Yihihihit! Do you think you can beat us?”

At that moment, the area changed as the battle field was unfolded .

[A large number of enemies have attacked you and the battle field is automatically activated . ]

[Fight with an ally, Sovereign Avia from the Hwanmong Defense Troops 439th Army . ]
