Episode 86.

Jung Si-woo succeeded in somehow keeping Seria Wilson human. They looked at the remaining Emperor guild members, but as expected, they had already crossed a river they couldnt return from.

[You abandoned Louisos and followed that human]

[I feel like a fool for calling you, my Master.]

[Im going after you once Im done dealing with Setnak.]

You, you guys

They had already lost their players wings, their becoming ragged and rough as their eyes dilated. They were wiping out the undead with a strength that incomparable to when they were players. Maybe they were able to hold out the barrier until the end because of them, but he didnt think of expressing gratitude.

Oppa, will it be possible? They look better than the Lizardmen from before

No, they look worse than that to me. At least the Lizardmen didnt have intelligence.

Jung Si-woo answered her and picked up his hammer. It was the giants roar.

[Giants Roar]

[rank C+++]

[Attack 1,450 2,050]

[Skills 205/400]

[Option 1. Can be enlarged 2. ??]

[Hammer with the power of an intermediate undead. The living are afraid to touch this hammer, and a lot of power is hidden within.]

He already expected it, but it had the function of enlargement. It was a miracle that both of the hammers he acquired in the dungeon had it, but more importantly, the secrets of the weapon have yet to be fully revealed. To put it bluntly, the use of weapons lower than Jung Si-woos level wasnt only because he had no other weapons, but it was also because he believed in their potential.

Wait, hold on. Are you planning to kill them?

Yes.

Jung Si-woo briefly replied to Seria Wilson, who was holding onto him. He grabbed the bikes handle, but she held onto him.

Cant you save them as you saved me?

You were special. Theyre not.

Unlike Seria Wilson, who resisted and endured until the end, they were no longer themselves. They maintained a human appearance, but they were no different from monsters that obeyed gods will. There may be a possibility that their former self would regain control after many years, but now they were too dangerous to let loose.

Keugg

And I already warned you once; now its their turn to take responsibility. Oh, and you should take responsibility in a different way.

Of course, thats what Im gonna do! But still, still!

Jung Si-woo looked back at Seria Wilson. Because they couldnt erase all of Louisoss influence, she had a slight radiance to her skin, and her eyes were completely gold-colored. But the emotions in her eyes were anxiety, sympathy, and self-blame. She was definitely human; monsters didnt have those.

But still?

Im sorry. Thank you.

Due to Jung Si-woos objection, she finally bowed her head and stepped back. She thought she shouldnt put any more pressure on him since she already owed him enough. That was an excellent judgment. If she had bothered him more, he would have just held her in his arms and swung her at the monsters.

Then just watch from there. Marina, do you have any spare power left?

Yeah, Ive only been screaming.

Im also fine, Hyeong-nim.

Yong Se-ha, who helped Marina to stop the Emperor guild, was still energetic. It was because their target changed to the undead in the middle.

Thenis Ah-rin alive?

I think I can somehow give you a blessing

Soo Ah-rin returned to her mini-size after lifting the barrier and went back into Jung Si-woos arms. Having maintained the sacred shield for such a long time, it wouldnt have been odd if she passed out. But every time he sucked up Setnaks Mana and leveled-up, she leveled-up with him, so she was physically stable.

Okay, lets wrap everything up and get some rest. Im so exhausted.

You look fine on the outside

Marina murmured. She knew that his ability was outstanding since they fought together on Mt. Seorak before, but the sight she saw today was beyond her imagination. All of them were beyond her wildest expectations, so she didnt even feel jealous. No, it wasnt jealousy; it wasshe stopped thinking at that point.

Le-lets let them go!

Yeah, so they wont feel any more pain.

Why are these peoples lines the worst!

They rushed toward the undead that had lost their subject of worship and the servant of Louisos, who was wading through them in battle.

[They cant wait for their turn!]

[Those who defy gods will! If thats the case, Ill start with you right now]

They were also conscious of their companions, so the battle was quick

[Kaheug!]

Be a smarter, more rational person in your next life.

[Keug!]

[Keuaaaag!]

Push through!

But that didnt happen. They must have been reinforced by Louisos, yet they died in front of Marinas overwhelming skills and the mighty power of Jung Si-woo. Even Yong Se-ha didnt have a chance to step up. Marina and Jung Si-woo were already in a class that was different from their level of strength!

Whoo. Are you done?

No one ran away. This is perfect.

It took them only seven seconds to annihilate everything. Still, they didnt have unnecessary sentimental concerns, such as whether it was okay to kill a human being. They were working on the front lines at the risk of their lives. Except for him and his colleagues, everyone else was an enemy to be killed. They couldnt survive without that mindset.

The bodyits melting.

But they left behind mana stones.

Marina picked up gold mana crystals from the floor. The fact that there were no mana stones left even after a player died has already been proven before. That meant only one thing; they had completely turned into monsters. One salvation was that their souls were sucked into Jung Si-woos tattoo. Somehow, due to the nature of the players skill in collecting souls, it may prove that their souls hadnt completely changedbut the fact that they died as monsters was undeniable.

You bastardsI still dont like them.

Its a coincidence, and I feel the same way. I guess were soul mates.

Dont overdo it, please.

Ah-rin, youre jealous!

Jung Si-woo looked around, ignoring Marina and Soo Ah-rin, who were arguing. He thought there was nothing strange about being attacked by the undead, but strangely, they couldnt face him and were standing back.

[We cant win.]

[That man has reached god for a momentthe man overcame his mana.]

[Memories of my life come to mind. If I could have acted like him]

Whoo.

They sounded like they were about to retreat! But he couldnt let them go. This is because the disappearance of Setnaks power didnt reduce the contagion of death.

Marina, lets stop playing around and start.

I got it.

Im coming, too!

They didnt need Mana against those who were scared even though they hadnt faced a single weapon yet. Jung Si-woo swung his two huge hammers to crush the undead while Marina rained mana down upon them, and Yong Se-ha rushed in with his lance.

[Kyaaaa!]

[Finally, the real rest]

Ugh, dont read the lines! Dont recite it. Just die!

[Th, thank you for the rest]

Stop reciting!

Every time he blinked, a group of undead was swept away. However, the amount of undead that had gathered around the fragments of Setnak was so high that it was unlikely to end anytime soon.

[Gooooooooooooooooooooh!]

Wow.

Furthermore, when monsters naturally occurred in the Grand Canyon and joined the undead, the monsters just seemed to keep increasing. Jung Si-woo frowned instead of retrieving the armor left by the monsters.

My inventory is going to be full soon.

Im similar, Hyeong-nim.

I still have some inventory left, Oppa.

He had three times more inventory thanks to his supporters, yet they were all on the verge of being full, so it was worth knowing the seriousness of the situation. For her part, Marina had been puffing her cheeks and throwing only the better items into her inventory.

I need to call Ethan. We cant just leave them like this!

Congratulations, Marina. Theres a bunch of armor monsters coming behind you.

Oh, no! How long do we have to fight like thishmph?

When Marina was about to turn around annoyed, a ray of light from the air wiped out the undead group that was about to reach her. It was so powerful that the undead couldnt approach past the traces of light left over. The identity of the person who shot itof course, they didnt know.

Seria

Im a little better nowlets get this over with.

Yes, thank you.

Seria Wilson finally joined the front line after organizing her own feelings to a certain extent. He didnt know what she was thinking with her head lowered, but the strength of the loser Emperor guild master in the western United States had definitely increased.

Ha!

[Keuaaaaag!]

[Th-thats a curse! This hurts so much!]

[It, it resembles the power of our enemies. But its different!]

Furthermore, in the process of turning Louisos mana into her own, her mana also mutated to include the light property into her bullets, making it possible to launch a much more effective attack against the undead.

Is there any change like that on you, Oppa?

Nothing like that.

Im glad youre still the same.

Unlike Jung Si-woo, who made Setnaks completely his, Seria Wilson had mana mixed with Louisoss because of the limitations since she received help from him. In terms of success, Jung Si-woo was 100% successful, and Seria Wilson was about 82% successful, but the results alone showed that her power had increased by 150%.

Hyeong-nims Mana is good as it is. Its strong. Its proper.

Hmph.

If he were going to kiss his ass, it was a success. Jung Si-woo felt a little better. But that was the moment

[Soul Collection Skill has evolved into Soul Force Skill. You can summon out the souls you have. The soul is released when it receives a certain amount of damage and cannot be recalled for a while. If you go up to a higher level, you will be able to use more diverse abilities. Number of souls in possession: 106]

I cant believe it.

After a little bit of waiting, the skills ability had changed from before. Jung Si-woo intuitively realized that Setnaks power influenced the evolution of the skill. He didnt change himself like Seria Wilson but focused all his influence on one skill. Indeed, its the way he liked it. Perhaps this wasnt the end of the skills potential. The more proficient he became, the more things he could do with this skill.

Soul Force.

The spirits popped out of the tattoo when he recited it. Among the spirits were the Emperor guild members who had just died. Everyone had a slightly blank look as if not everything was maintained from their lifetime. It was a lie if he said he didnt feel weird facing them, but even revealing that feeling, they wouldnt understand him anymore. Therefore, Jung Si-woo decided to think of only the present.

You know what you have to do, right?

[I will defeat the enemy]

Though seemingly ghosts, they were essentially subordinate to Jung Si-woo. They also realized Jung Si-woo was dealing with a skill. At the point of being absorbed, they became a part of him. It was natural that his intention was reflected immediately.

Oppa, these people

Si-woo, you!

Did you say, Soul Force? Thats exquisite.

He raised one hand with a bitter smile. The tattoo of the completely transformed soul force skill shone faintly.

Rush! Defeat my enemies!

[Yes!]

The spirits poured into the undead. Following that, Jung Si-woo also ran vigorously. It was the moment the star on the ground captured the souls of the sky.
