episode_0131

The Yuki-onna (snow maiden), a yokai with the cold winter wind inside her body, breathes out bluish breath and freezes anyone who swings a weapon.

The bizarre appearance of the Gyuki (牛鬼), a monster with a cow’s face and a spider’s body, runs around destroying people and buildings while exhaling white steam-like breath.

The Rokurokubi (轆轤首), a monster with a long neck, freely moves its head at the end to bite the shoulders of people who run away with its sharp teeth.

In the midst of a chaotic situation where people and objects are exploding like firecrackers.

“Listen to your weapon and fight!”

“Kill them! Kill them!”

In it, people resisted the monsters by screaming and flailing their weapons as if spitting blood.

And looking at those people.

Hahahaha–

Hehehehehe–

The monsters continued to spout out mocking laughter.

Just as water bursting out of a broken faucet and soaking the bodies of the people around them, various monsters emerged from all over the place and continued to toy with the people.

A situation where everything is a mess.

“Haaat!”

“Damn! These are the real ones!”

In it, people wielded their power to protect their daily lives.

“Kihihihi!”

The monsters rushed at them, trying to devour them.

Numerous weapons clash with countless teeth.

Gulp-

In the process, blood of all colors, such as red, blue, and green, mixed and mixed together, turning into a black color that made it impossible to tell who the original owner was, and then soaking the streets with a foul odor.

A night of chaos and evil where people and monsters kill and eat each other.

A festival that existed in the past when Japan was ruled by non-human monsters is once again set in modern times.

But only one place.

Even in the midst of this horrific festival, there was only one place that boasted a silence as thin as a broken thread, without any human screams or monster laughter.

The moment the wind that had come to visit him for a moment was about to reveal its doubts.

Again-

A single, tiny footstep broke the silence that had filled the space with an unparalleled air of mystery.

And through that gap, an endless eeriness flowed down like honey, boasting its authenticity.

A strange sight.

How could such a sight have been created?

The answer to that was simple and straightforward.

Because they were all dead.

Both the people and the monsters who need to make a sound.

All of them, without leaving a single piece of body or drop of blood.

Again-

To a single, exquisite woman with golden hair that flutters and emanates a splendid light like a fragrance, and with eyes that sparkle with a dazzling and dizzying red that stirs the desires of those who see them.

“How was your meal?”

“It felt like I was eating mud.”

A woman with a graceful and splendid appearance frowned faintly and spoke.

An act that would have shown one’s ugliness in some way if done by someone else.

“Before, it was trash that would have been unpleasant to even look at.”

However, the woman was elevating her appearance into a captivating beauty.

“Are you still lacking?”

“Not enough.”

As she spoke, the woman looked down at the prostrate man with annoyed eyes.

A look of reproach as sharp as a blade.

However, she shook the hearts of those who saw her with her alluring and breathtaking appearance.

An unbreakable beauty, truly a beauty worthy of a country.

From that woman flowed an absurd beauty that could literally shake a nation.

Regardless of gender, if you are a being with a sexual instinct, you would not be able to overcome the desire that blooms in your heart and would immediately rush towards the woman.

But even with such a woman in front of him, the man showed no movement or agitation.

It was natural.

Because he was just a terminal that moved around for the sole purpose of conveying words.

“Because I have no strength, I am weak. Since I have nothing to accumulate, I have nothing to tear down. Since I am not beautiful, I cannot obtain joy. These things cannot quench the thirst of this body.”

The woman said, looking up at the full moon, the only thing that reminded her of her past memories in the streets where things had changed and changed.

“You still haven’t found what this body is talking about?”

“Sorry, I’m still looking for it based on previous records, but I still haven’t found it.”

“Incompetent ones.”

Phew-!

As the woman was thinking like that, the man’s heart burst out.

The hole was big enough for an adult male’s head to fit through, and the wound was so big that it should have collapsed like a sand castle and killed him the moment it opened.

“I’m sorry.”

The man, who had been nothing more than a corpse from the beginning, was still there, lying there like a statue, bleeding profusely.

“If you truly want to achieve your goal, don’t tell me where these crappy things are, but find the tail of this body as quickly as possible.”

The woman looked at the man as if she didn’t like him for a moment, then spoke with a voice full of confidence and arrogance toward herself.

“If you do that, I will personally end this ridiculous festival and honor your efforts in freeing me from the seal, and I will decorate Japan in the colors you desire.”

“Yes, I understand.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man collapsed forward as if he had finished his role.

And at that moment.

Slurp-

Thick magical energy flowed out like smoke from the collapsed man’s body and dissolved into the air.

“Ugh… … ”

Do Yu-jin waited for the four people at the entrance to the village and checked the messages that had appeared when he summoned Yumi a little while ago.

After reading them all, Do Yu-jin’s impressions were simple.

‘I don’t think it’ll get any stronger or anything dramatically.’

Recently, I went up a level that I hadn’t been going up before and I also gained a lot of points.

‘But honestly, it’s past the point where things would change just because you’ve leveled up a bit.’

Sigh-

‘Still, it’s a bit disappointing. If I had just leveled up one more, I could have gotten my light attribute talent to 60.’

In [Circle Academy], talent’s performance changed based on the numbers 30, 60, 90, and 100.

To put it bluntly, it’s like a kindergartener’s tricycle turning into a racer’s monster bike.

Knowing him, Do Yu-jin looked at the number 55 with eyes full of regret.

In the process, Do Yu-jin, who had synthesized even the smallest characteristics to relieve stress, turned her attention to the remaining things.

A skill that is created by passing the stages of the newly acquired mythic trait and summoning talent.

Double Do-yu Jin focused on the characteristics.

When strength is lacking, technique must excel.

Because Do Yu-jin, who is officially a weakling, had no choice but to rely on her traits to survive.

‘Well, I’m still wandering around, unable to find a way to break through the 5-star wall.’

In that sense, it was a pleasant miscalculation that this incident gave rise to mythical characteristics.

Because I felt like I could breathe a little easier in a situation where growth had been stagnant.

‘I thought so… … ‘

Hmm-

‘No matter how you look at it, it’s a bomb.’

First of all, the newly acquired mythical trait was not a combat trait.

Well, honestly, this wasn’t really a problem.

From the beginning, Do Yu-jin moved in a direction that avoided combat as much as possible, so aside from [Young Murder (5★)], he didn’t have any combat-related traits.

‘Well, I was able to use the others in battle somehow… … but this one seems like it’ll be hard to use like that.’

Gyaut-

‘No, this isn’t just a problem during combat and not during combat… … but it’s a trait I can’t use at all?’

The effects were incredibly good and didn’t do anything particularly bad for the owner.

However, it was too completely different from what Do Yu-jin was pursuing, so it couldn’t be used.

To be exact, I could write, but I didn’t want to write.

‘I had high hopes for the new skill because it was something strange like [Hug], but this one is like this too.’

Sigh-

‘Well, it’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do about it.’

Do Yu-jin quickly changed her mind.

He also knew that this time his luck was incredibly good.

‘Last time was the first time I took a step, but this time I went down the same path as last time, and the crazy myth-level trait popped out again. It doesn’t make sense.’

of course.

‘Ugh.’

The human mind is truly so treacherous that thinking that way didn’t really make me feel any less disappointed.

This was especially true when I was thrown into a city where all sorts of monsters would pop out in no time.

While Do Yu-jin was thinking about this and that.

Phagecic-!

Suddenly, a golden lightning bolt struck right in front of Do Yu-jin.

It would not be strange for a normal person to be so shocked that they would fall backwards, but Do Yu-jin looked calm as she watched him.

That would be the case, because it was easy to guess who would do something like this.

“Are you here?”

The place where the flashing light disappeared.

“Yeah.”

Erio, who appeared there as if pulling back the curtain, stared at Do Yu-jin with his usual transparent eyes and spoke.

“I’m back.”
