Chapter 142: Chapter 142

'Why? no? Are you the king of beasts? A snake is also a beast.'

[...nope. I understand.]

Rakan made a moaning noise at Suho's words, but eventually nodded.

[Because even the venomous snake venom would be useful to him now.]

Then, he stared at the empty space in front of Suho with a disapproving expression.

Wow!

Then, two swords floated in front of Suho.

[Item: Rakan's Fang]

Difficulty to obtain: ??

Type: Sword

Attack +60

A sword made from the fangs of Rakan, the king of beasts.

Rakan's heroic spirit dwells in it, so if someone of a lower rank possesses it, the body may be taken away.

-Effect 'Contempt for the weak': Puts the designated opponent into fear for 1 minute. (All stats -50%)

-Effect 'Mortal Wound': Inflicts more than 3x fatal damage with a 20% chance.

[Item: Kasaka's Fang]

Difficulty to obtain: C

Type: Dagger

ATK +25

A dagger made from Kasaka's venom. Kasaka's poison remains, granting paralysis and bleeding effects when attacking. You can keep it in your inventory or sell it in the shop.

Effect 'Paralysis': The attacked target becomes unable to move with a certain probability.

Effect 'Bleeding': The target's HP is consumed at a rate of 1% per second with a certain probability.

It was 'Racan's Fang' and 'Kasaka's Fang' that had been stuck in the inventory since Volcan had two horns.

Even if I checked the item information again, it seemed that there would be no chance to take out the ability again in the future.

Suho gave a satisfied smile.

'I was thinking of selling it to a store, but I end up recycling it this way.'

[It's recycling. In the first place, my sacred object is used for just this purpose.]

'Ah, is that so?'

Rakan's words suddenly brought up Suho's memory.

Wasn't there a word that this sword shouted incessantly from the first time it touched 'Rakan's Fang' in the Sanctuary of Beasts?

-Prove your qualifications to be the king!

In fact, Rakan's fangs were Rakan's 'baby teeth', to be precise.

In other words, the lower tribes received Rakan's baby tooth that fell out as he grew up and made it into a sacred object.

The purpose is, of course, to find a successor to succeed Rakan.

It was a minimal device prepared in case Rakan died in a war with the rulers one day.

This was the reason why Rakan's fangs would be immediately taken away if they fell into the hands of someone less worthy.

[And the reason why my spirituality dwells in my holy relic is also the role of a minimum guide to raise the successor stronger.]

'Raise it stronger? Should I stick around and nag?'

[Something like that. As expected.]

'There's one right next to me.'

Of course, what Suho thought of was Ver.

Ver didn't really help in battle, but he always made me aware of the lack of protection and was constantly whipping me.

His words and actions were never meant to criticize or insult Suho.

It was just... because Ver knew it.

How strong is the real 'lord's power'.

what is true strength

Perhaps in the future, the heroic spirit dwelling in Rakan's fangs will also play a role similar to Ber's for Gray.

After the explanation, Rakan smiled and looked at Suho and said.

[Anyway, I am always grateful to you. It's all thanks to you that Gray has grown enough to accept the holy relic.]

Then he reached out with both hands and grabbed the two swords floating in the air.

OK.

Wow!

The two swords turned to silver powder in his hands and scattered.

Numerous system messages appeared one after another in front of Suho.

belt ring. belt ring.

[Gray has equipped 'Item: Rakan's Fang'.]

[Gray has equipped 'Item: Kasaka's Fang'.]

T-ring. belt ring. belt ring. belt ring.

[Gray has learned 'Skill: Despise the Weak']

[Gray has learned 'Skill: Mortal Wound'] [

Gray has learned 'Skill: Paralysis']

[Gray has learned 'Skill: Bleeding' It is.]

'Wow. Isn't this kind of great?'

Suho couldn't help but admire.

The options on the sword were turned into Gray's skills.

Even if only these skills were properly used, Gray seemed to be able to play a role in the battle.

'Really perfect recycling!'

[Tsk. Because it's not recycling. Anyway, stop going back to your world now.]

Rakan sighed with a disapproving expression until the end and sent Suho back to reality.

[Please take good care of Gray in the future.]

Shuwaaaaa!

"...Kwuung?"

When Suho's consciousness returned to reality, the little wolf Gray opened his eyes wide with a surprised expression right in front of him.

Suddenly, he felt a new power arise in his body.

'Still, it looks the same. No, it seems that the fangs have sharpened a bit?'

However, appearance was not important.

[Gray Lv. 50] The level of

the canine wolf

Gray had risen.

That's a whopping 15 levels!

Of course, this kind of growth was possible not simply because they absorbed the performance of items.

'It must be because the spirit of Rakan dwells in Gray.'

so-called succession of power.

Wouldn't it be similar to when Sirka inherited the 'Ice Tree Spear' from the Lord of the Cold?

"...So, is there a way to hide this wolf's magical power?"

At the words of Kang Tae-shik, who just happened to ask again from the side, Suho smiled and looked at Gray.

"Is Gray possible?"

"Kwuuung."

At that, Gray suddenly pricked up his ears and fell flat on his stomach.

The spirit of Rakan, who resided in Gray, was teaching Gray how to use power.

Then...

"...Amazing. Is this for real?"

Kang Tae-sik's eyes widened.

The signs of magical power he felt from Gray disappeared like a lie.

Admiration came out of nowhere.

"Contrary to what he looked like, he was a pretty outstanding summoner. It makes things easier."

As Kang Tae-shik said, they now had an absolute advantage over the villains.

The other side doesn't know the identity of this side, but this side has a means to find them.

"Then let's go."

"okay. Take the lead."

"Kwuuuong!"

Suho and Kang Tae-shik set foot in Yami-ri village in earnest with Gray at the fore.

Gray kept his ears upright, sniffed confidently, and looked around to track the villain's scent, but there was no sense of incongruity at all because it looked like an ordinary small dog walking.

It was not at all threatening in size or appearance, so it was natural even without a leash.

"...the town is so quiet."

Kang Tae-shik's eyes shone sharply as he read the atmosphere of the village.

It was a dreary atmosphere, as if the entire village of Yamiri was in ruins.

He murmured softly to Suho.

"Listen as you walk. Since ancient times, many military bases have been stationed around this village."

The reason was, of course, that the area called Pocheon itself was close to North Korea.

"Of course, now that North Korea has turned into a monster field, there is no need to defend the North Korean army." This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.

"I heard that the unit changed its purpose from last year to defend against monsters in the north."

"Yeah, that's right. You did some research too. But now..."

"The soldiers are nowhere to be seen."

It was a guarded area with many military bases around it, so it was normal to see a few soldiers out and about.

But right now, Yamiri Village was very quiet without even that.

"Because of the association."

Taesik Kang explained.

"Since Woo Jin-cheol, the president of the association, went out to aid North Korea, the country sent all military units in this area to the association."

"Even the non-Awakened soldiers?"

"okay. Even hunters are human. You have to eat during battle, and you have to stay vigil while camping. You never know when and where demon beasts will attack you."

In short, the soldiers were in charge of all other chores so that the Association Hunters could focus only on battles with the monsters.

"So, in fact, the commercial district in this village has been ruined since last year. It's a town completely filled with amenities and restaurants for soldiers."

Perhaps because of this, most of the stores I could see were temporarily closed.

But it wasn't very crowded.

"Still, the convenience store is open."

Coincidentally, Gray's footsteps were also heading to the convenience store.

"welcome."

When they opened the convenience store door and entered, a part-timer greeted them brightly.

"Rurrung!"

Parbat!

Suho and Kang Tae-sik rushed at the part-timer without asking anyone first.

"Ahh! Why are you doing this?!"

The part-timer who was subdued with both arms bent was greatly embarrassed and struggled.

Kang Tae-sik smiled and pulled up the part-timer's trousers.

Then, the electronic anklet was revealed.

"The smoke is clumsy. What kind of part-time job student greets you so brightly these days?"

"...!"

The part-timer's expression, which was smiling kindly at first, was distorted like a demon.

"F*ck! Everyone come out!"

At that moment, three villains came out from behind the convenience store warehouse and spewed flames at Suho and Kang Tae-shik.

Chew!

In response, Kang Tae-sik mercilessly cut the neck of the villain he was suppressing with a dagger.

"...!"

I picked up the decapitated corpse with one hand and stopped the flames.

Perong!

"F*ck! Kill!"

"I'm a bounty hunter!"

"There are only two of them!"

Kudangtangtang!

Roaring!

In an instant, fireballs flew in all directions, knocking down convenience store stands and breaking fluorescent lights.

A hot fire spread.

However, contrary to the words, the villains took advantage of this commotion and turned their bodies outside.

"Don't let me run away!"

Kang Tae-sik shouted at Su-ho and rushed at them.

Then, he began to wield two daggers indiscriminately with both hands.

chump chump chump!

"Sea Shield!"

One of the villains hastily opened a transparent shield to block the attack.

but.

"Rurrung!"

he hadn't seen

In the midst of all this chaos, a little wolf cub was approaching behind him.

Gray approached secretly and quickly bit his Achilles tendon.

"Ah!"

['Effect: Fatal Wound' activates.]

['Effect: Bleeding' activates.]

[The target's HP is consumed by 1% per second.]

He screamed and kicked Gray.

"You b*stard!"

However, Gray avoided the kick with swift movements like a real rat and bit the thigh of another villain right next to him.

"Eww?!"

['Effect: Paralysis' is activated.]

Thrash!

The villain suddenly limped and fell forward noisily.

"Aren't your summons really good?"

Kang Tae-shik blew a whistle and dodged the shield to the side, chasing after the paralyzed guy.

Chew!

"...!"

That's how another person's head flew off.

Chow Chow!

I also killed the next guy.

"Weak. Too weak."

Kang Tae-sik smiled cruelly as he wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand.

"Why on earth would someone like D-class do such a villain?"

Then he looked back at Suho, who was standing behind him, and asked.

"Why are you staring at me so stupidly? Is this the first time you've ever seen someone die?"

"Oh don't come. Do not come...!"

Just then, Suho hid behind a transparent shield and crouched against the wall, approaching the frightened villain.

His ankles were bleeding non-stop from the bleeding effect of Gray's bite.

"Why? Do you really want to save me out of pity?"

Taesik Kang smiled and slowly walked towards Suho.

The fire was spreading as the stalls burned behind him, but this did not pose a great threat to the Awoken.

"It's hard to be a bounty hunter with such a weak heart..."

It was then.

Suaaa.

The corpses that had just been decapitated by Kang Tae-sik's hands suddenly rose up and attacked him from behind.
