Episode 100-Invasion (10)

“Kuh… This······.”

“Especially, you will not be nourished even after obtaining the information. It’s a waste of resources to keep them alive, but I’m sure they can be put to good use.”

Raon, who was killed by Lucy as soon as the seal was released, is not actually dead. After coming back to his senses, he checked his condition and gritted his teeth.

“Do you think you can shake me with something like this?”

“Wave? No, I will break you.”

Lucy smiled faintly at him.

Currently, Raon is floating with only his head and part of his upper body remaining. Only the tentacles attached to his neck spread out like a spider’s web, feeding his fragmented body.

“It’s the same no matter what you do. I will not betray my comrades or my people.”

“That’s not up to you to decide. I will take all rights away from you, so now what you breathe, how your blood circulates, how you secrete the hormones that control your emotions… will all be determined by my hand in control of your cells. . There is nothing you can exist as you are.”

Lucy came a little closer to Raon, who had a bad tooth.

“I will replace every cell with mine one by one and erase your existence. I can’t touch it, and thanks to that, all you can have is that petty soul. Where do you stand? Endure it and prove it.”

“This is your true nature, the root and identity of which you do not know.”

Lucy raised her face and whispered quietly, so Raon could see some of Lucy’s true intentions through her eyes.

The madness and obsession revealed in the eyes that were usually hidden without revealing any emotions or true intentions.

“By nature, fools look down on and ignore the things they envy and do not have. Become a human but become a monster. In the end, do you want to become a person with a soul while looking down on me like that?”

“Think whatever you want. I’ve never manipulated brain cells before, but I’m thinking of experimenting this time. If that happens, you won’t be able to easily do what you think.”

Lucy laughed at his words and turned around. There is no need to keep a body next to you to torture and torment.

In the meantime, I never thought that Raon would be able to withstand this special torture that he prepared based on the results he had learned and designed based on it.

***

“Raon’s interrogation is going well. Estimated time 3 days and 12 hours. I will put the answer in it.”

“Did our decision work out in the end?”

I sneaked out of the gloomy office due to the accident that had happened just the day before, and came out to the rooftop to talk to Lucy. There is some fine dust, but it’s not stuffy anyway.

“Show me Seoyoon Kim.”

Lucy said that she was interrogating Raon, but it was obvious that she was torturing Raon while doing an effective tsaryeong, so she didn’t bother to look for it. Instead, he looked at Kim Seo-yoon, who was sitting blankly after completing his mission.

She saved her life and got a new body as a part of the Demon King’s army, but unlike Yuria, who lived on the modern Earth, it seemed that it was not easy for her to adapt.

“What do you think. How do you plan to use Seoyoon Kim? The original purpose has been achieved.”

“The original ability didn’t seem to be particularly meaningful, but when I supplemented the output with strength, it became a fairly powerful power that melted the secret power of the elves that had come down from ancient times at once. It’s the first time I’ve attached a strong core to an Awakener, so I want to get more data through more experiments because it’s a great body.”

“······Don’t do it to Kim Seo-yoon.”

Lucy quite liked the element called the Awakener, which she hadn’t been able to utilize until now. I heard the story interestingly as well, to the point where I wondered what would happen if a strong person like Lee Ji-yeon was transplanted with a strong heart and a demonic body. Startled, I shook my head and stopped Lucy.

This was my last conscience and duty. I don’t know anything else, but I couldn’t do that to Kim Seo-yoon. Wouldn’t it be better if it was an enemy who attacked us like Derek Crave?

“I thought I’d put that issue aside for a moment and start by talking about the situation here.”

“Is it about the new invasive species you mentioned last time?”

“Yes, it seems that people similar to him are starting to appear in other countries as well.”

turned the subject The content is a new invasive species that drove Kim Seo-yoon to the brink of death. Until now, there are not one or two cases where new monsters have appeared, but there is a reason why it has become an issue.

It’s because their strength and habits are incomparable to the monsters that have appeared so far.

“I’ll put the data on them into my unused cell phone and send it to you, so you check it out. And on that cell phone, ask Kim Seo-yoon to take a video and send it back.”

I gave instructions to Lucy, but it’s a little strange that I can see my cell phone texts, calls, and trivial things like the weather, but not able to see files or the Internet. Of course, it doesn’t really matter now. It was because I wanted to comfort the one unfortunate person who got caught up in commemoration of the successful completion of the first mission.

“I got it right. We are currently checking the contents.”

Lucy safely held the mobile phone I had prepared in advance.

And I started looking at it quickly. In the first place, the amount of data wasn’t that great, so it didn’t take long for Lucy to see and check everything I sent.

“It definitely looks a little different from the existing invasive species.”

“Everyone I’ve dealt with has said the same thing. It sounds like you’re fighting an intelligent body, not a rampaging beast.”

“It’s a short video, but it seems like they’re fighting with certain movements.”

Even for Lucy to judge, it seems unusual.

The reason why I gave this information to Lucy is because, according to our plan, Lucy will fight these guys someday. Of course, Lucy still looks stronger, but the enemies are also constantly spitting stronger monsters out of the gate.

“But am I the only one who thinks like that? I’ve never thought of it like this while watching invasive species until now, but since I wield those hooked feet like a weapon, it feels like I’m in love with an ally soldier.”

“It’s interesting. Its characteristics clearly match the demon type soldiers I am currently producing. Armor optimized for movement that strengthens the defense of the whole body, and a body that has been modified only for combat by removing all inefficient body organs. It is said that it is a rare species, so the end of evolution pursuing extreme efficiency seems to be similar. I really want to get a sample of which one has achieved higher evolution.”

“By the logic of what you said, after all, invasive species are ‘artificially created’ creatures created by something like you.”

Lucy’s eyes sparkled with interest, but I sighed a little.

In fact, the hypothesis that most people predict that invasive species are really biological weapons created by someone has been labeled as a huge hive mind that creates and operates numerous armies in another world.

“Anyway, I get it. keep things going I’m running out of time too.”

I didn’t have anything to do, but I couldn’t keep away, so the call with Lucy ended there. And it was then that Lee Ji-yeon approached me when I returned to the office.

“Your treatment is over.”

“Yes, as you can see.”

She is now out of bandages. It borrowed the power of the awakened people in the healing world, a miracle that surpasses modern medicine. Even though there is a restriction on the same Awoken person, anyway, their strength was great in saving the lives of many people and escaping from injuries.

“Uncle Changsoo had a hard time. I tried my best to the point of exhaustion, but Kim Seo-yoon’s injuries were too great.”

“…it can’t be helped.”

Lee Ji-yeon’s expression darkened. Because she doesn’t know what situation Kim Seo-yoon is in right now. It’s not just her. Everyone who knows that Seoyoon Kim has disappeared from the hospital is in chaos.

It’s a crazy world where all sorts of things happen, but there is such a thing as degree. So I made Kim Seo-yoon take a video letter. So that they can convey to their parents at least the fact that they are alive and well.

“The Derek Crave incident ended safely as a result, and it was a trouble with people anyway. Thanks to you, I’ve forgotten about it these days, but I feel bad again. We don’t know when the catastrophe of the Gate, which we can’t anticipate or control, will end.”

“It will definitely get stronger and more numerous.”

“I’m getting a lot stronger compared to the beginning, but it’s still lacking.”

she laughed hard She’s obviously a power seeker like Derek, but she wants power to protect people.

How long can Lee Ji-yeon endure? Given her personality, if she could gain power by sacrificing herself, she would definitely do so.

Someday, someday, when Lucy will be able to make an impact on this land. The possibility of enlisting Lee Ji-yeon is clear…

“Shall we go out? I have nothing to do, but it’s frustrating.”

At that time, Lee Ji-yeon suggested polka dot. Even though she recovered from her injuries, her schedule was empty, so I didn’t bother to refuse.

***

“Do you have plans for tomorrow?”

“There is a gate scheduled to open in the afternoon. In the provinces down there.”

Time to part that evening. Lee Ji-yeon heard about tomorrow’s schedule and left in her car, saying that she had to go to bed early today.

[Kim Seo-yoon took all the videos. It took some time because I cried so much, but I solved it by locking my tear glands.]

“・・・・・Do not touch the body as much as possible.”

Unlike the fast-paced Yuria, Lucy had a tendency to manipulate Seoyoon Kim’s body at will. It’s not a very good phenomenon, so I refrained from doing so.

I wanted to return Kim Seo-yoon, who had done everything she had to do, to return to this place, but I couldn’t, so I had to stay there for now. And because of Lucy’s personality, she can’t stand being a person who only eats food, no, so she has to work with us in the end.

“Please let me know so you can talk to me directly tonight. I will do my best to convince you to put your mind together and fight together.”

I grabbed the cell phone that appeared in my hand and hid in a deserted place.

The destination is the place where Kim Seo-yoon’s parents are. She plans to deliver the video she took to her parents.

“…?”

[Checking multiple presences. Maximize your sensory organs.]

However, my body, which had been moving well, came to a sudden stop near the destination. Sensing something, Lucy strengthened her senses to find out the cause in detail.

“Check the detector response. Are you an Awakener?”

“No, the camera doesn’t show anything. Could Kim Seo-yoon’s disappearance really have something to do with him?”

In my enhanced hearing, I heard whispering voices hiding somewhere. It wasn’t even Korean.
