    Episode 209

    Someone said that.

    ‘The greatest luxury is donation!’

    In that respect Ali Hassan was considered a quite extravagant person.

    Ali Hassan a former beggar who grew up in the slums would visit the slums whenever he had time even after awakening.

    ‘Wahaha! I’m here again! ‘You bastards!’

    I didn’t go empty-handed.

    Every time I went I filled a truck full of bread.

    And he showed off as much as he could by throwing bread in all directions from the truck to the beggars who looked up to him.

    ‘Hey did you see that! That’s how much I am! Eat this you bastards! Hahaha!’

    preceding?

    Noblesse oblige?

    I have never learned such difficult words.

    He just wanted to show off.

    Yes it started for just that reason.

    No matter how many trucks you flex these pieces of bread are nothing compared to the money the hunter earns in the dungeon.

    But no matter how much he boasted there was one thing Hassan would never do.

    Give food but no money.

    ‘If that’s the case there will only be a fight between each other trying to steal it. Gangsters from other neighborhoods will also flock after hearing the rumor.’

    So just enough to keep you from going hungry.

    Just enough to not be afraid of tomorrow’s hunger starting this evening.

    Hassan who knew the physiology of the slums better than anyone else knew the optimal line very well.

    But why?

    One day the number of people in the slums began to decrease.

    There is more and more bread left.

    By the time Hassan noticed the fact many of the beggars had already gone missing.

    “…I wasn’t able to confirm whether he was truly missing or whether he was unluckily eaten by demonic beasts wandering around the back streets.”

    “But now I think I’ve confirmed the reason.”

    Kwasik!

    “Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

    Hassan who was explaining through Lio Xing’s interpreter swallowed dryly and looked ahead.

    In front of them the dragon people were lying ungainly with their faces stuck in the mud.

    These guys Ver found in the back alleys of the slums.

    Suho asked looking down at the guys with a cold gaze while stomping on their heads.

    “I will ask. “Who are you?”

    “Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…”

    Reptile-like eyes studied Suho with a servile expression.

    Looks like a mixture of a lizard and a human.

    Large star fragments implanted in the body.

    Without having to go through the trouble of hearing an answer their names were already in Suho’s field of vision.

    [Variant No. 13]

    [Variant No. 13]

    “If you reach level 13 will you be able to speak? As expected the experiment was continuing.”

    “Tsk.”

    Antares who was riding on Suho’s shoulder clicked his tongue with a disapproving expression.

    Seeing these guys made me even more certain.

    [The Fang Lord the king of beasts frowns as he remembers the humans who drank Gray’s blood and became werewolves.]

    “okay. “It’s a similar situation to back then.”

    Kwasik.

    Suho put more pressure on the foot that was stepping on the mutants’ heads and asked them a question.

    “Lio Xing translates. “Are you a foreign religion?”

    “Crrrrrrr! “I don’t know!”

    “Where have they been arresting people all this time?”

    “I don’t know! “We don’t know anything!”

    Blue ghosts flowed out from the eyes of the guys who growled with angry expressions.

    Iron a former priest of the Foreign God Church and Grid a former high priest recognized it and advised Suho.

    [I am already firmly possessed by the star fragment.]

    [If your mind is polluted to this extent there is no answer other than killing you.]

    Suho nodded and stopped the useless conversation.

    “I get it. Then ask it directly into your soul.”

    Kwasik!

    Without hesitation Suho smashed their heads and immediately extracted their shadows as soldiers.

    “Guide me to the base.”

    * * *

    Those who became shadow soldiers obediently guided Suho and his group to their hideout.

    “Kubera Guild?”

    Ali Hassan who was following Suho recognized this place and opened his eyes wide.

    “Do you know this place?”

    “I just know the name. “It is a small guild with about 10 people.”

    According to Hassan’s explanation there are a total of 17 guilds active in Imphal.

    Among them except for the Imphal Guild which was the only medium-sized guild the remaining guilds were all small guilds with about 10 members.

    Of course the power of a guild could not be estimated simply by the number of guild members.

    Like the Woojin guild led by Suho the guild leader has overwhelming skills that no one can match.

    There were many elite guilds where each guild member was as good as a daily wager.

    However even considering all the cases there was no possibility that Suho and his group would lose their strength.

    bang!

    Without even bothering to open the door he just smashed the wall and went inside.

    “Who are you!”

    “….”

    Even as the mutants inside were startled and prepared for battle Suho and his group were looking at something else.

    “…Oh my god.”

    Hassan suddenly lost strength in his legs and collapsed on the spot.

    prison.

    No chicken coop.

    There were miserable beggars crouching in cramped prison cells made of clumsy iron bars.

    And there are star fragments that appear to have been forcibly implanted in their bodies…

    Kieeeeek…!

    The moment I witnessed them trapped in a laboratory and their skin mutating like a reptile.

    Pop.

    A feeling disappeared from within Suho.

    “Harmacan.”

    [Yes master.]

    “Kill it.”

    Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    [Harmakan activates an instance dungeon.]

    Harmakan immediately annihilated the hunters of the Kubera Guild and used them as guardian experience.

    Then he watched Suho’s thoughts checked the condition of the people who were imprisoned and reported it to Suho.

    [Fortunately most people have not yet had their star fragments properly implanted. I think this is enough for me to recover.]

    “Thank goodness.”

    But Suho’s stern expression showed no signs of loosening.

    Hassan said that the number of people held here was too small compared to the people who disappeared from the slums.

    “I’m sure other small guilds will do the same! Fortunately our Imphal guild is a medium-sized guild and is active separately but the remaining small guilds have long since fallen under the Asura guild.”

    “I don’t have time.”

    Liu Zikang’s eyes were quietly glowing as he watched all of this tragedy in silence.

    The reason the current situation is so unpleasant is probably because it reminds me of memories from my past life.

    At least back then there was a minimum of romance.

    Competition between guilds was fierce but the premise was that all of humanity would join forces to fight against demonic beasts.

    But now…

    “It’s obscene. Humans are experimenting on fellow humans and turning them into magical beasts. “It was truly unthinkable in our time.”

    Liu Zikang drew his sword.

    * * *

    bang!

    “Who are you?”

    “Liu Liu Zhikang?!”

    The hunters of Rama Guild another small guild in Imphal couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw the face of the thug who suddenly stormed into the office.

    “I will ask. “Are you a foreign religion?”

    “…What is that?”

    “Your reply is late. “If one of my arms were missing would I be able to answer faster?”

    Slurp.

    “…!”

    ‘This is really Liu Zhikang!’

    At the sight of Liu Zhikang pulling out two long swords the Hunters of the Rama Guild looked into each other’s eyes without thinking and began to scatter in various directions at the same time and run away.

    But behind them a long disgusting tail resembling a lizard was sticking out.

    Liu Zhikang looked at that and nodded.

    “Legs would be better than arms.”

    Flash!

    “Aaaah…!”

    “My my legs…!”

    The legs of the fleeing hunters were cut off by the sword that was swung without hesitation.

    Blood spurted out.

    Blue blood.

    These people were no longer human.

    Liu Zhikang left the people screaming and rolling around on the ground and ran after the hunters who had run away in the opposite direction.

    * * *

    Unlike Liu Zhikang who showed a ruthless hand Esil was relatively gentlemanly.

    dripping.

    “excuse me. “Is this the Chandra Guild?”

    Demons were a race that could understand thoughts and communicate and the same was true in India.

    Of course simply speaking the language did not guarantee that a smooth conversation would take place.

    Eventually the door opened and the hunter appeared looking Esil up and down with wary eyes.

    “Yes that’s right. “What brings you here?”

    “Then have you ever kidnapped poor people here?”

    “…Why are you suddenly speaking informally?”

    “That necklace.”

    Gooooooo!

    Everyone knows this by now but the main ingredient in stardust is devil’s blood.

    The dignity of a noble demon nobleman radiated from Esil’s whole body as he checked the stardust necklaces around the hunters’ necks.

    “Take off that necklace yourself. If we fail to do so we will judge it as a foreign religion.”

    “…Foreign religion?”

    “Or you can call italim a bastard.”

    Smirking.

    The moment the word ‘foreign religion’ came out from Esil the hunters’ eyes were already colored with ferocity.

    It has reptilian-like pupils.

    “Who are you?”

    Esil nodded as he looked at the hunters who suddenly showed their fierceness and rushed towards him.

    “I could kill you.”

    Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!

    If Liu Zikang was a ruthless swordsman Eshil was a devil.

    A true devil with a very pure bloodline.

    “Aaaah!”

    “Save me…!”

    Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!

    Esil killed all those who resisted and handed over their bodies to the shadow soldiers who followed him.

    “Send it to Suho.”

    Then he turned his head and looked at the secret space hidden in the corner of their hideout and sighed softly.

    “…And tell Harmakan that there are people who were experimented on here too. “As quickly as possible.”

    * * *

    Quick resolution.

    Just half a day was enough.

    How long did it take for Suho and his party to rob all the small guilds operating in Imphal and eliminate all the hunters who had become foreign believers?

    In the process he mercilessly killed those who resisted turned them into shadow soldiers and even searched for their hidden hideouts.

    And they succeeded in rescuing all the people who were trapped there and being experimented on.

    From here Harmakan’s role was important.

    Fortunately most of the people for whom the experiment was still in progress were able to remove the star fragments from their bodies without difficulty.

    Harmakan explained why that was possible.

    [I think this is because the experiment itself was a process of adapting the body to dragon blood and star fragments. Once adaptation is completed results will come out whether success or failure.]

    And once the results came out there was no need to lock them up any longer.

    [If you fail you will become a demon with a broken mind like Mutant No. 8 which was first discovered and you will be abandoned outside the city.]

    “And if you succeed will you end up like these guys now?”

    …!

    Is it because I made too much of a fuss while trying to save people?

    Before we knew it Suho and his party were surrounded by countless dragons.

    “Where are all these guys hiding?”

    Hearing the words of Liu Zukang and Esil muttering as they drew their respective weapons Suho’s eyes flashed and he glared ahead.

    Isn’t it obvious?

    The place where those who have successfully implanted star fragments feel most comfortable.

    “vacuity.”

    It seems that there is a void gate somewhere in this city.
