Are you a deaf person?
No, it was too big for that.
I saw the demons moving towards the bonfire, so I jumped down from the tree in a hurry.
-Krrrr… … !
There were two or three bears wandering near the river.
Bush bear. It was In-ipum’s hand.
“Mr. Seo Kang-rim?”
Shin Soo Ah found me and her face turned into a look of surprise.
Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul also stood up from their seats and pointed their guns and protests at Masu.
Mansuhyang cannot drive out a demon that is too strong.
For now, the bush bear is eating it, but who knows what will happen if it builds up resistance over time.
Then suddenly, a strange smell wafted through the Mansuhyang.
While I was distracted for a moment, a bush bear bared its teeth at me.
-Kuaang!
It seemed like I looked more like a pushover than the three of them.
As the bush bears began to slowly approach me, Shinsooah screamed in panic.
“Come towards the fire! It’s dangerous there!”
“No, it’s okay. Shin Soo-ah, you should stay out of there.”
The bush bears are a kind of animal.
Since it is an area that fits my attributes, my abilities would have increased even more.
It’s a good opponent to test out the ability you gained last time.
I immediately activated my ability.
[The ability ‘Fighting Instinct’ is activated!]
As soon as my ‘fighting instinct’ was triggered, I felt the blood boiling all over my body.
It seemed as if the world had evaporated into white and only the enemy before my eyes and I remained.
I am the weakling of loyalty, and my enemy is the predator of humanity.
As I realized that fact, fear surged through my body, but at the same time, that fear turned into a sense of triumph.
[You have confirmed that the target is stronger than you!]
[The fighting spirit begins to boil over!]
The ability ‘Fighting Instinct’ is an ability that increases my abilities when the target is stronger than me.
The stronger the opponent, the greater the effect of the ability.
I felt my head spinning with a murderous intent and fighting spirit that I had never felt before.
My whole body was screaming to fight it.
-Kuaang!
The moment a bush bear charged at me, I had already drawn my sword before I knew it.
The body was moving instinctively.
He plunged his sword into the bush bear’s shoulder and slashed downwards with his entire body weight.
-Crunch!
The bush bear’s fur was as sharp as a blade, and as the fur brushed against my body, blood flowed out in an instant.
But still I had fun.
Something inside me was screaming at me to fight a stronger enemy.
-Crack!
He drove his sword into the bear’s snout, pinning it to the ground, then charged at the second demon.
There are no black ones, but there are still some usable ones.
I activated ‘Flame Flame’, engulfing my entire body in flames, and then rushed at the bush bear.
The moment the bear was startled by the sudden light and took a step back, I climbed onto its back.
-Wow!
I just hung there, holding the bastard by the neck.
The bear twisted its body as if in pain.
Even though my whole body was being swept away by the knife-like fur, the feeling of wanting to defeat it was greater than the pain.
By the way, where is the third guy?
I looked back to find my next opponent, but saw that he was already dead.
His heart was pierced by a sharp branch.
“Mr. Seo Kang-rim!”
Shin Soo-ah was running towards me with her teeth clenched.
In an instant, a tree grew from the ground and trapped the bush bear.
While the bush bear’s movements were paused for a moment, Shin Soo-ah raised her sword and delivered the final blow.
-Koosh!
The bear fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
Shin Soo-ah sighed and looked back at me.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
When I saw Shin Soo-ah, I felt my heart pounding.
My heart felt like it was going to burst.
A stronger opponent than the bush bear.
I want to fight.
I want to win.
I want to kill you.

I pulled out my sword from the ground and swung it at Shinsooah.
The sound of two swords clashing was loud.
-Chae-Ang!
Shin Soo-ah quickly took out her sword and blocked my attack.
A look of surprise flashed across her eyes, then quickly turned cold.
“Wake up, Seo Kang-rim!”
She came within a split second of me.
And then I felt an indescribable pain in my forehead.
-Pfft!
Shin Soo-ah’s regime has properly entered the vital area.
As I felt a pain stronger than excitement, I slowly felt my head cooling down.
“Master!”
“Master!”
The twins ran toward us and shouted.
Shin Soo-ah asked while checking my condition.
“are you okay?”
My mind cooled for a moment, and then I remembered what had just happened.
The situation where I was rushing to kill Shin Soo Ah.
“……it’s okay.”
“First, look at the wound. It’s bleeding a lot.”
Only when the ‘fighting instinct’ ended did the pain begin to creep in little by little.
He had scars all over his body from fighting a bush bear.
Still, most of them were just scratches.
If we’re talking about pain, Shin Soo-ah’s stabbing of the regime was more painful.
“I have enough medicine.”
I poured the pill into my mouth.
My heart was still pounding.
Shin Soo-ah asked as if she was worried.
“You seemed strange earlier… … Is it perhaps the effect of a supernatural ability?”
“Don’t you think I might have attacked you while I was still sane?”
At that question, Shin Soo-ah laughed as if she had heard a joke.
“I don’t think Seo Kang-rim is stupid enough to try to kill you straight in the face.”
That was right.
Even so, how can he be so calm when the person who pointed a knife at him is the one who did it?
I said with a sigh.
“Yes. It is an ability that can be used against those stronger than me.”
‘Fighting instinct’ has several drawbacks, first of all, the distinction between friend and foe becomes unclear.
This is because the activation condition of the ability is not ‘an opponent stronger than oneself’ but ‘a target stronger than oneself’.
Also, emotions other than the will to fight are weakened, making it easy to lose reason.
I thought that it would be okay if Shin Soo-ah didn’t come close, but I was too complacent.
No matter how much I activated my ‘fighting instinct’, Shin Soo-ah would win, but it was still dangerous.
What if it was Yoon Bom or Yoon Gyul instead of Shin Soo Ah?
I would have tried to kill them too.
… … From now on, when you use this ability, it would be best to only use it when you are alone.
“I’m sorry for attacking you.”
“It’s okay. By the way, you have that kind of ability too. Did Seo Kang-rim also receive the divine power?”
“Master, we have been given a divine gift!”
Yun Gyul-woo said with an excited face.
When I checked the fortunes of Yun Gyul-wool and Yun Bom, I found that there was definitely an addition of the Shinmyeong item.
“I was possessed by ‘The Moon, the Hunt, and the Maiden’!”
“I am the ‘bowstring that holds the sun.’”
‘The Moon, the Hunt, and the Maiden’ was the name of Artemis, the goddess of archery and hunting.
‘The Sun-Blooded Bow’ is the name of Apollo, the god of archery, who is the sibling of Artemis and has many symbols.
It seemed like both of them had been given a god who matched them well.
It seemed like Shin Soo Ah hadn’t yet received the divine power.
It wasn’t particularly strange since it was the same in my past life too.
At that moment, Yoon Bom smiled brightly and said.
“Who is your God, Master?”
I was silent for a moment.
My God.
There was no way I would ever be possessed by a god.
“I didn’t receive any divine powers. As my abilities increased, I gained new abilities.”
“You haven’t received the divine descent yet? That’s strange. I thought you would have already received it if it was Mr. Kangrim… … .”
【That’s right, you need to be possessed by a god too!】
【Why do you keep bouncing back? Are you trying to get a better god?】
【Hey, we’re good gods too!】
There is no such thing as a good god in the world.
I just manipulate humans for my own purposes.
Instead of answering Shin Soo Ah’s question, I changed the subject.
“Now that I think about it, there’s a strange smell.”
“That’s right. There’s a smell nearby… … like rotting fruit… … .”
Looking around, I could easily find the source of the smell.
Yun Gyeo-wool asked while wandering around.
“Master, what are you doing? Huh? What is that?”
Yun Gyul-woo said, pointing to the fruit that had fallen on the ground.
A strangely sweet scent emanated from the crushed fruit.
He said as if he was puzzled.
“Master, why are you staring at me like that? Are you trying to eat me?”
“No. I was watching because I thought it was suspicious.”
“Huh? What’s suspicious?”
“There are no fruit trees around here.”
There were no trees near the river.
It is difficult to see the fruit falling alone.
Moreover, the berries were growing in a straight line in the forest.
As if luring the devil towards the bonfire.
It seemed like Yoon Gyul-woo only then noticed something strange.
“It’s strange, just as the master said. Who on earth would do something like this?”
“I just checked, and there are demons gathered around the tree that has this fruit.”
【Oh, Kangrim knows it well.】
【The peaches are delicious!】
【Are the peaches delicious?】
【That’s a fruit that only demons can be fooled by. Are you a demon?】
【It’s a matter of taste. Please respect it.】
This magic peach, grown in the magic realm of the inspector, emits a strong sweet scent and tempts the magician.
What if such a fruit were artificially dropped?
Yoon Bom and Shin Soo Ah, who had come up to me without me noticing, were also listening to my story.
Shin Soo-ah opened her mouth.
“They were trying to lure the demons into attacking us. However, while I was on guard duty, I didn’t see anyone approaching.”
“He might have used his powers to approach me.”
Just now, there was no one in District 4 with any suspicious abilities.
But while we were away, he might have been possessed by a spirit and gained new abilities.
“Then… …. Are you saying that someone deliberately tried to kill us?”
Yoon Bom said in a trembling voice.
I nodded.
“That could be possible. You’d better be careful when coming into contact with other areas in the future.”
“yes…….”
“Just stay awake for a bit longer. I’ll be right back when the sun rises. Shin Soo-ah, you should get some sleep too. I’ll be on guard duty.”
Shin Soo-ah looked slightly hesitant.
Knowing her personality, I let out a short sigh and said.
“I’ll be shifting in an hour, so get some shut-eye first. I hate waking up in the middle of the night.”
“… … Okay, I understand. Then I’ll ask you.”
Three people were lying huddled together by the fire, and I sat at a distance to keep an eye on the situation.
Meanwhile, Al was wriggling in his pocket, probably because he was hungry.
When everyone is asleep, I have to feed the eggs.
In the midst of all this, a small whispering sound was heard.
“Where did you get that fur, Master?”
“I guess that was the saber-toothed tiger I caught back then. The master was cool back then… … .”
“Master, are you here?”
“I’m not sleeping. I’m not your master. Go to sleep now.”
When I spoke, both of them kept their mouths shut.
While silently guarding the Buddha.
I jumped up from my seat.
I felt eyes on me in the darkness.
