Chapter 54: Dimensional Species
White foam trickled from the corners of his mouth.
Shrrrrrr
[System: The Enhanced Vigilance trait has been activated.]
Before I knew it, he was holding a vicious chain in his hand. So much for dialogue; was it straight into battle mode now?
The USB wasnt the issue. I needed to figure out where he got this nonsense from and what had led him to spout such madness.
At that moment, Je Mu-gyeong started to move violently while swinging the chain with ferocity.
Whoooosh!!!
The chain flew through the air as if it were tearing through a wall of air itself.
Holy shit!
Crazy, was this the sound a chain was supposed to make?
[Protective Circle]
[Spell Enhancement: Multicasting]
Transparent protective circles formed at a speed faster than the incoming chains.
I already knew he was unreasonably strong. A single layer wouldnt be enough to stop him.
Crack, crack, crack!!!
I managed to form five protective circles, but four of them were shredded like paper.
Tch, cant we just talk, mask to mask!
From within the sackcloth wrapped around Je Mu-gyeong, two additional arms emerged.
A powerful body covered with bursting muscles.
Unlike other test subjects, his four arms were symmetrically and proportionately attached.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
And each hand had six fingers.
This reminded me of the creature I had seen in the pharmaceutical warehouse, the type D biological tissue sample. He looked like that small creature. Well, It wasnt an exact match, but it seemed like that monstrous creature could grow into something resembling Je Mu-gyeongs current form.
It was inevitable.
If those little monsters were to grow up, theyd turn into Je Mu-gyeongs.
Je Mu-gyeong was the most terrible failure and, paradoxically, the only success among the specimens created in the [Ga-5060 Secret Research Facility] disguised as an abandoned hospital.
And what I had secured in the glass bottle was a clone of Je Mu-gyeong. It might be an unpleasant term, but it wouldnt be wrong to call it his offspring.
Anyway, talking was now out of the question.
I had thought it to be the most cost-effective strategy if it could succeed, but the worst outcome awaited me.
It was time to set aside any notion of dialogue and proceed with what I had originally intended to do.
I needed to seize the USB that was somewhere on him.
To do that
Use only spells that wont damage the USB while dealing with such an enemy?
I had assured Curtain Call that I could handle it alone, but it was no easy task.
Recklessly unleashing lightning or any other potentially explosive attack could destroy the program contained within the USB.
And that wasnt the end of it.
The sackcloth he was wrapped in was not just for show.
It was an artifact created at the cost of mythical madness and exquisite ritual steeped in the lore of the Cthulhu Mythos.
As long as he wore it, Je Mu-gyeong would possess a strong resistance to magic.
This item was on a completely different level from the local area magic nullification that Leopard from earlier could barely produce.
There are degrees to handicap matches!
I decided to put some distance between us.
If I got caught by that monstrous mass of muscle, I would be instantly reduced to minced meat.
[Leap]
Dazzling patterns of light begin to bloom on my clothes.
Paaa
I leaped backward.
A long trail of light followed my movement.
The gap between the creature and me widened and I quickly found myself outside the room.
Before I could do anything, Je Mu-gyeong burst through the wall behind me. He was charging at me with a creepy large saw that emitted a flashing light.
It was a headlong rush with a large saw leading the way.
Aaah, piece of shit!
With a body boasting a mere agility of 8, it was an attack of absurd speed and force that was simply too fast for me to properly react.
To naively trust in a protective circle and face it head-on would be fatal!
[The unique effect of the L-rank accessory Carcosas Mask, Dreamy Blur, has been activated.
// Dreamy Blur: Automatically casts Blink spell]
I felt a strange feeling of the mask covering my face pulling me away.
The space around me twisted. The magic imbued in the mask teleported me to a different location in an instant.
The activation of Blink, a top-tier survival spell that allowed for short-distance teleportation in dangerous moments, had saved me.
[Blink complete. Cooldown: 864,000 seconds]
His attack sliced through the air in vain.
In the next moment, I found myself appearing right behind Je Mu-gyeong.
With his intended target suddenly vanished, he lost his balance and stumbled forward.
It was an attack launched with tremendous force.
He could not overcome the momentum that pushed him onward and crashed into the wall.is what I thought would happen, but instead, he swung his four arms and pounded the ground.
Boooom!
This recoil stopped his charge in its tracks.
What kind of monster was this?
No, thats not right. He didnt move like this in the game. He wasnt this strong, nor did he attack so recklessly.
Somethings different from the game.
It reminded me of my last encounter with Lee Chang-hyeok. In the game, Lee Chang-hyeok transformed into an absurd monster by opening the bag that couldnt be opened within the game.
A strength and madness far different from his game settings.
This guy must have opened something that couldnt be opened in the game, or seen something that couldnt be seen in the game, right?
And then there were the other recent incidents: the ghoul shaman, Jang Hyeon-deok, and now Je Mu-gyeong alongside Curtain Call.
NPCs deviating from their game settings. Its not certain, but Je Mu-gyeongs complete breakdown probably occurred around the same time as the other NPCs.
Je Mu-gyeong, you crazy bastard! Stop obsessing over your damn skin and tell me the real way! How can I escape this world?
You need to hammer a hook into the top of the head, carve a slit in the chest, and start from the mouth to peel off the skin. All these must be done while the subject is still alive.
What are you saying? Are you going to skin me alive?
What are you saying! Be reasonable, you lunatic!
Whooosh!
With utter disregard for dialogue, he suddenly hurled a hammer at me. This damned bastard.
[Arrow of Destruction]
[Spell Amplification: Maximization]
Crash! Baang!
With no time to dodge or block, I launched an energy arrow enhanced with explosive power.
Thanks to my precise control over my magical power, the Arrow of Destruction exploded at the perfect timing and angle and managed to alter the trajectory of the hammer.
Agh
Conversely, it could be said that barely altering its course was all I could manage.
But the hammer wasnt the end of it. Before I knew it, he leaped forward with tremendous physical force, creating an impact that was enough to shatter the floor.
Boooom!
Good grief
Je Mu-gyeongs massive body, armed with a saw flew towards me. Wait, this timing is off; this could be dangerous. This attack carried even more destructive power than the previous charge. Blink was already used up. I had to choose the fastest spell I could activate despite the potential loss
Heaaaaaad!!
At that moment, a bright red flash came out of nowhere and flew towards Je Mu-gyeongs head
White hair stained and mottled with blood, a cool leather jacket that still managed to shine with a red gloss, and a zanbato sword larger than the giant saw that Je Mu-gyeong was holding.
It was Curtain Call. Just as her overhead strike was about to impale Je-mukyeongs head, he grabbed the hammer lying on the ground and blocked her attack.
Claaanggg!!!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
