Regress and Eat

Whoo-hoo!

Park Chang-hee's Mana swung around my body. It's the first time you've absorbed this much at once.

But now I don't even care about it.

‘Park Chang-hee was also under this curse! ’

It was like Seo Jin-wook had been beaten.

A red Mana I can feel on my fingertips. A seed that is the result of a curse that looks like a bundle of blood vessels.

When the host died, the blood tentacle-like Mana was poked around Park Chang-hee's body.

However, the reaction could not be reversed. Park Chang-hee hung on the chain was cooling down.

‘Queek · · ·? ’

A low, small wailing continues from the seed.

"Queek, queek!" ’

The sound got louder, louder, and then finally ripped my ears out.

"Yuck, yuck, yuck!"

At that moment.

Hwa-oh!

A red Mana, free from the resistance of matter, protruded from Park Chang-hee's heart and rushed towards mine like a shot.

It's like trying to change the host!

But...

‘Queek! Queek! Queek! "

It was an unexpected scene.

The energy of the curse that had originally survived in Seo Jin-wook's body, the seed that had been held back by the first [successor's eye] and had never heard a voice again.

It suddenly reveals its power.

And I bludgeoned around my heart.

It's like, "This core is your seat, so don't invade." Like an all-out beast fight.

‘Quack, quack, quack! ’

Park Chang-hee's curse eventually didn't dig into my heart.

Then, this time, I turned around and headed toward my head.

At that moment.

- Skill [Successor's Eye (Rank: EX)] resists Skill [Mercadius Seed (Rank: SSS)].

As you pressed Seo Jin-wook's curse, [Successor's Eye] defends thoroughly this time.

Unlike Seo Jin-wook's seed, which had existed since before the ice, Park Chang-hee's curse could not penetrate this body.

"Yuck!"

[Mercadius' Seed] protrudes from the corpse, spreading red tentacles all over the place. But there's no host to parasite around.

Without a solution, it reaches back to my body, but [heir's eyes] and the seeds that were originally in my body were heavily defended.

In the end, Park Chang-hee's curse begins to break.

Queek!

Without losing my host and taking over my heart or brain, the seeds that were trembling outside the body gradually decreased noticeably in size.

Let's do it.

Heave!

The curse that was hiding in my heart, as if I was aiming for time, stretches its tentacles out of my body and attacks Park Chang-hee's seed.

"Yuck!"

Park Chang-hee's seeds that have been pierced.

The energy of the red spheres that composed it seems to dissipate and gradually disappear.

And like the screams of the handset, I began to hear a ‘voice’ from it that came into contact with me.

‘Seo Jin-wook Han has taken care of you so far, how can you think like that? Did he order you to get hurt? I am thankful just for imagining it. Why the fuck would he do that? What are you, a psychopath? · · · · · Yeah, let's kill it. This guy doesn't deserve to live! ’

It was like Park Chang-hee's own voice, but there was a difference.

It is not that there is a difference between voice and speech.

That telepath wasn't human at first.

"The voice of the seed! ’

His voice must have led to his accident so far.

‘Park Chang-hee heard this and didn't recognize it? ’

All of those impulses and thoughts may have been mistaken as Park Chang-hee's own, natural feelings, and his own choices.

Unlike the former Seo Jin-wook of Bing.

The original Seo Jin-wook clearly recognized his voice, and he suffered. Something forced her to do something that wasn't her idea.

He struggles not to swing, and suppresses and harms himself when he feels the urge to hurt someone. Then Seo Jin-wook went crazy in true sense. And I became suspicious of everything.

‘Which line of the guild did they hit? ’

The leader of the leadership expedition is powerlessly defeated, so you can imagine the worst. It was a good thing I didn't tell Kyu-chul about the curse. If this happens, no one can be trusted.

‘Seo Jin-wook in his previous life must have been like this. ’

I could understand his suspicions.

"Why this kind of curse? ’

Park Chang-hee and Seo Jin-wook.

Besides being part of a guild, you can find a narrower range of commonalities.

Both people who are horribly fond of each other.

And the effect of the curse is to amplify the host's most intense desires and emotions and induce thought.

In the case of Seo Jin-wook, it was clear what it was.

‘Rage. Unbearable rage. And the desire to express it. ’

When the curse broke through, was it childhood?

Maybe he lived with anger that had not been resolved in his mind since he was that age. The curse slowly amplified it.

Meanwhile, in the case of Park Chang-hee · · ·.

I hear voices again.

‘All the rest of my life is for him. ’

Loyal to the Han Snow.

‘Ahh, Seoul-nim! ’

The voice of the seed resonated with Park Chang-hee's memory, and I listened to it.

*

It was a common story.

A Class E Hunter that was kicked out of the guild because the growth rate was too slow.

It didn't work, even if you insist that you have Class A potential Mana. There were many dead hunters who could not activate the Mana Peninsula of their own claim, and it was very difficult to attract hunters with proven abilities that could be bypassed, so they gave up in the country.

There was no guild to mobilize such means for Class E.

He was so desperate, and Han Seon came to me.

‘You, the training method is completely wrong. And I don't know what you're good at. Why use your unique skills? You want to be a human stove? ’

His teachings were like magic. Park Chang-hee's growth was spectacular after joining the guild she led.

Finally, on the day of his A-rank Hunter certification, he cried. Life changed.

Park Chang-hee decided to repay Han Seol for his lifetime.

But...

"The Celestial Dragon Guild"? No, our guild is small but not lacking in skills, so what's the big deal about absorbent integration? · ·! ’

Han Seol smiles bitterly in Park Chang-hee's memory.

‘I've already made a decision. If you don't like it, you can leave. But if you're with me, believe in my choice and support me. ’

He eventually came to the Celestial Dragon, like all the other guild members, and found a thorn in his eye.

Seo Kyu-chul and Seo Jin-wook.

"Why is Han Seol under those guys? ’

Park Chang-hee decided to go out on his own because he couldn't accept it.

Seo Kyu-chul despised me because I had already lost, and didn't care much. However, I collected evidence. When the time comes, you can rob the Constitution Department of corruption, confine it to your own fault, and then blow it away. It was only a matter of time before Han Seol surpassed him in terms of his skills.

Whereas.

‘Seo Jin-wook is the problem. I don't want to see him! ’

A promising player who is considered to have the best potential in Korean hunter history. But because of the mental illness that doesn't suit him, it makes a lot of noise everywhere.

And I am receiving the love of · · · · Hansul in one body on that subject.

That was ridiculous. It doesn't make sense.

As Seo Jin-wook got closer to the adult, a twisted thought began to sprout in Park Chang-hee's head.

‘Let's get rid of it. Without him · · · Seoul will be the next guild leader. ’

I tried my best to avoid the jealousy that was rising.

The purpose of bringing Seo Jin-wook down is to make Seong-wook a guild leader.

I decided to think so.

At some point, he was unaware that irrational madness had seeped into his loyalty to her.

‘· · How dare you? Yeah, give up my life and I'll kill him! ’

So he tried to kill Seo Jin-wook, who kicked him.

Seo Kyu-chul, that greedy scum, woke up early! ’

Park Chang-hee thought he had found a way to get rid of Seo Jin-wook while staying by Han's side without getting arrested. You attempted a fluoroscope and failed, and put a report in the Constitution Department. To make Seo Jin-wook unable to return to the Heavenly Dragon.

‘· · · One Awakener per Hunter, so it should be easy to deal with. Hunters may not be cheap and easy to turn around, but go after the Awakener first. ’

It was provoked through the Gangbang to expose the Awakening Facts, but left no trace on the ground.

Okcheon Dungeon Expedition Commander, I will assist you. ’

I supported Seo Jin-wook's first expedition.

I think it might be my last chance.

While trying to go with Han Seong-do suddenly, the opportunity almost returned to Blister · ·. At the last minute, Seo Kyu-chul welcomed the participation of Han Seol.

It was because Han Seol had an urgent mission to dispatch even though it was a matter of excessive power.

‘The Gangdong Reunion and the United Clans fought without covering the fires, and civilian casualties were wiped out by the Constitution. I don't think I can go with you because you called me there. Chang-hee, take good care of her for me. Okay? "

In the comfort of Park Chang-hee's past, he had a voice of seeds that he did not notice.

‘For the sake of Han Seol · · · All this is for Han Seol. Kill Seo Jin-wook! · · Must be in this dungeon! ’

*

Glug-ug-ug!

After removing the chain, Park Chang-hee's body was lying on the ground.

‘This curse is definitely a unique skill. ’

Who is it?

There's only one suspect in my head.

‘Only one person in the guild knows Han Seo Kyu-chul's unique skill. I was never seen in combat. ’

I loosened and shredded what was on my wrist.

‘The terminals are completely fried. ’

The storage device was irreparably burned because of Park Chang-hee's, mine, or high heat.

I have his other belongings and the key to the most important dungeon. Park Chang-hee's backpack has found a flute that provokes Goblins. It wasn't something I would bring with me while scouting.

After killing me, I think he was going to summon the monsters to destroy the evidence.

‘Sounds like a plan. ’

If we leave the dungeon without Park Chang-hee, the Constitution will not allow the gate to be closed.

They'll send a search party in. Of course, it would have been the same if I had gone missing.

Therefore, I tried to play the flute for the same reason Park Chang-hee planned. Even when the Goblins came, it was simple to take off one of my bodies. You join the group while they mess this place up and get out of the gate. No one will think that a Class E Hunter could have killed Park Chang-hee.

It was a moment when I wanted to play the flute in accordance with Park Chang-hee's plan.

Suddenly, a system message rang out.

- The boundary of the weakened dungeon has been partially broken.

“· · · · · · · What?! ”

I spit out my voice without even knowing it.

The message is elongated.

- Reason for breach: External entry.

I unconsciously tensed all my body muscles. The insult pours out.

“· · · Fuck. ”

Fortunately, the gates did not burst and monsters spilled to Earth.

It's not a gate collapse, it's a border collapse. The wall on the other side of the Earth is broken.

In my past life, this dungeon did not happen because the gate burst without prejudice.

Which dimension did you come from? ’

The world in which the dungeon exists is called the ‘intermediate dimension'.

The anthill space, divided into oceanic dungeons, is only part of a huge intermediate dimension, and now we can only travel within the boundaries.

It's like a one-bedroom (dungeon) in a mansion (in the middle dimension) with over a hundred rooms.

What if I want to go to another room?

Once you've targeted the dungeon, you need to weaken the perimeter, and instead of closing the gate with a key, you need to widen the dungeon. Like tearing down a watery wall.

That's how Phase 2 begins, and the expedition can target the widened dungeon one more time. You can expect more Mana cores and one more reward.

‘That's as far as I'm concerned. ’

But the gate connected to this giant anthill is not just open to the Earth, as the word "intermediate dimension" implies.

Other worlds also have these intermediate dimensions and explorers from them will wander around the anthill in their own territory like earthlings. At first.

Now, what if · · · they chose to keep expanding the dungeon instead of closing the gate after the attack? Want more cores and rewards to continue expanding boundaries?

Maybe one day we'll get in touch with each other.

Then the explorers can get beyond the wall they came in contact with. From their dungeons to other dimensional dungeons, medium-dimensional.

Furthermore, you will be able to enter another dimension through the dungeon you visited.

And the problem is...

‘We have less than a few days before we strike and they enter. ’

They've already expanded their boundaries far enough to make contact with our dungeon walls.

Waiting for this to be ambushed and the perimeter to weaken.

When it comes to behavior, they're not savages.

"Better for low-level civilizations! ’

Assuming you encounter them in a dungeon, the ideal heterogeneity is civilizational and peace-loving.

But that's just hope, and humanity will realize it in the future.

that high civilization and peaceful tendencies do not necessarily accompany each other.

I'm working on it, thinking I wish it wasn't the worst case.

Weeing!

Suddenly, a bright red light comes out of my chest.

I put my hand in my pocket and pulled it out.

[Clariss' Red Stone]

- Item Description: This small stone has two pairs to ensure your safety. Under the following conditions, the stone on the other side glows red and guides its position.

1. If one of the stones is broken

2. If the person with the stone on either side accidentally loses his mind

The rays from the item pointed to where Kim's secretary would be.
