Chapter 8: Massacre

Fighter.

A job with a simple mechanism of beating the opponent with gauntleted hands.

At the same time, it was one of the most difficult jobs to raise in the early stages because you had to fight barehanded without any usable weapons.

Nevertheless, the acquaintance of a certain broadcaster once tried to interview a top-ranking female user who only walked the path of a fighter. The first question he asked was about the job ‘Fighter’.

“Why do you insist on ‘Fighter,’ which is difficult to raise in the early stages and has a simple mechanism?”

Her answer to that was simple.

“Impact.”

A cool sound of ‘pang’ echoed in her ears. One surprising thing was that this sound was not the sound of hitting a sandbag or something, but the sound of punching into the air. She checked her status window.

Skills and Achievements

An investment focused on strength and dexterity stats, it was a typical warrior job’s status window. What was special was that these stats were applied to her real body.

‘But, I don’t know how to use skills…’

She thought that she could use it if she shouted or thought of the skill name like in a normal novel, but it wasn’t. She was pathetic that she couldn’t even use simple buff skills, and just as she was holding her head, guards wearing suits came into her sight.

“Hey, you there!”

The guards, realizing that she was not a guest here by looking at Yejin’s clothes, surrounded Yejin. One of the giants, who seemed to be at least 190 cm tall, grabbed her shoulder and opened his mouth.

“I don’t know why a product is in a place like this, but go back to where you were. We don’t want to be blamed for injuring a product, so if you go back quietly, we won’t use violence against you.”

The ears unique to beastman users protruding above her head, the seal proving that she was a product engraved on the back of her neck, and the clothes that were close to rags. There was not a single foolish human being who would visit this black market ballroom, which only the wealthy could visit, with such a simple appearance.

All of those characteristics told them that she was a ‘product’ who had escaped from the auction house, so the guards began to persuade her with words. If they injured her for no reason, and the seller of this product demanded compensation, it would be them who would be in trouble.

In fact, all of their expectations were correct. Yejin was indeed dragged here as a product, and she was currently in a state of escape. The only wrong expectation they had was that the opponent was not an easy opponent like her size.

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of doing that.”

Yejin gently placed her palm on the giant’s hand that was placed on her shoulder. While the other person was unguarded by the feel of her soft palm, she gave strength to her grip as it was.

“Kuaaaaak!”

“Crazy, what’s wrong with him?”

“Hey, are you okay? What’s going on?”

The other colleagues didn’t even know why he was shouting. That’s because they couldn’t even imagine that a small girl who couldn’t even reach their chest was destroying their colleague’s hand with simple grip strength.

They realized that unbelievable fact after the man shouted in a painful voice.

“My hand! My hand…!”

As if she didn’t want to hear such screams anymore, Yejin released the strength of her grip. The man, who had seemed to have plenty of room to spare until just now, sat down on the floor, holding his broken hand and shedding tears.

It was a truly beautiful sight. It would have been more perfect if that guard was a woman instead of a man.

The moment she had that thought, the face of the person who would be lying in the middle of the stage, bleeding, came to mind. Feeling her face turning red, the girl, Han Yejin, shook her head.

‘No, I have to endure. There’s still a lot to do…

She had to quickly rescue her younger sibling, take care of her older brother…no, the her who has become her older sister, and run away.

As long as she didn’t know how to use skills, it could be dangerous if there were enemies with firearms. Leaving her regrets behind, she faced the enemies in front of her.

“Kill her!”

At one man’s pointing, five giants holding swords or batons began to rush towards her. They were people who had learned how to handle melee weapons to some extent, so their posture was not bad. Swordsmanship or baton techniques. In fact, it was a strategy that showed good efficiency in one-on-one battles.

“Of course, that only works if the levels are similar.”

Thanks to the correction of her dexterity stats, it was easy to avoid their attacks because of her unbelievably increased dynamic visual acuity.

If a blade flew, she would grab it, if a blunt weapon flew, she would brush it off, and if a fist flew, she would avoid it.

The guards, embarrassed by the movements close to the divine that were impossible for a human body, began to hesitate. They also realized that something was wrong.

Enjoying their reactions, Yejin took a stance.

She raises her hand to eye level and puts her back hand on her right cheek.

The basic stance of boxing, also called guard or covering.

‘If there are no skills, just beat them with efficient movements.’

Right now, Yejin’s physical ability itself was stronger than anyone in any weight class, except for the reach of her arm. Based on the stats in the status window, the average strength stat of ordinary adults was between 2 and 3, and the sports players who had trained their whole bodies to the limit were around 5 to 6 depending on the sport.

And now, Yejin’s strength stat was 73. The strength stat, which was at 73 despite being slightly lowered due to the status abnormality debuff ‘Hunger,’ meant that she had enough strength to easily lift three or four cars even in her current state, which was not fully prepared. The addition of superhuman reaction speed and dynamic visual acuity to this power made Yejin’s physical ability close to a monster.

With a step that narrowed the distance, she lightly put out the fist she was holding. The power that had been gathered in her muscles was concentrated on the action point of her fist, and it was released to the outside while being converted into impulse as it was.

In boxing, the jab is often known as a light feint punch. However, if there is a difference in weight class, the jab can be a major threat beyond a simple feint.

As an example, there is a famous boxer’s saying, ‘A heavyweight’s left jab is no different from a light heavyweight’s KO punch.’ If the weight class is higher than the opponent, even a simple jab can be as threatening as a KO punch.

However, Yejin’s physical ability was, as mentioned above, beyond the heavyweight, and it was in a state that any weight class could not be compared to. The power of her jab was…

Rather than a kind of punch, it boasted a power similar to being hit by a huge wrecking ball.

-Wooddeudeuk.

A weak sound that did not reach that enormous amount of impulse echoed through the hallway. Everyone’s eyes were on the man’s face, which was Yejin’s first target.

His face was completely ruined. No, the expression ruined was somehow lacking.

‘It’s shattered.’

They were guards who didn’t know much about medicine, but they knew that their colleague who had been hit in the head by that fist was no longer alive. To that extent, the corpse’s wound was cruel and gruesome. It was hard to call him a person anymore.

“Ugh, disgusting.”

Everyone there realized it at her appearance, who shook off the liquid that was blood or brain fluid with a disgusted look. They couldn’t beat the woman standing in front of them.

It wasn’t just ‘can’t beat’ it. They couldn’t even make a single wound. That wasn’t a human, it was a monster.

A moment of silence. Yejin, who was looking at the corpse lying on the floor without even moving, frowned and muttered.

“I didn’t intend to kill him…tsk. I just ruined my mood.”

-That’s a lie. If she didn’t sincerely intend to kill him, she wouldn’t have put such strong power in it. That b*tch was just testing her strength – she just used a person instead of a sandbag.

All the guards in the hallway had the same thought. However, there was no one who had the courage to refute her words.

“I have something to ask.”

“Yes, yes! I’ll answer anything! Please ask me comfortably!”

“The location of my younger sibling. Ah, I mean the location of a girl with purple hair and black eyes.”

“If it’s that child, she will surely be gathered with other personnel at Gate 3 of the western port.”

The guards answered her questions as sincerely as possible. Perhaps, if they answered the questions sincerely, that monster would show mercy and let them go alive. That was because the hope had arisen.

It didn’t take long to realize that that hope was in vain.

“Thanks for the answer. But…I remembered all of your faces. The trash who used my younger sibling as a tool of intimidation.”

“Ah, no! When did we-“

In fact, they had never seen or beaten that monster’s younger sibling. But in a scene of this crime, the words of the strong are the law and reality. They couldn’t refute her fierce gaze.

“Thanks for telling me the location of my younger sibling, but now you have to pay the price? As a reward for the information, I’ll give you a ‘price’ cheaply. You guys beat my younger sibling dozens of times, but I’ll only hit each of you once. It’s a bargain in its own way. Right?”

-Crazy b*tch. Just say you want to kill us.

Like that, after a few more weak sounds echoed, no one was standing in the hallway anymore.
