<[Episode 11] Jagalchi Market (5)>
The change came from the sky.
From a distance, the sky was turning dark.
With human influence gone and artificial light gone, the city’s night sky has become a jewel box sparkling with moonlight and starlight.
But those lights are being swallowed up by thick darkness.
‘They’re all… monsters?’
The identity of the rumbling darkness was none other than an enormous number of monsters.
Various types of fish were flying through the sky.
Starting with the bluefin tuna that I often saw on my way here, and even the much larger bluefin whale, the night sky was covered in darkness.
Kwung kwung
The tree giants that were scattered all over the place began to gather according to the grandfather’s instructions.
The only silver lining was that there were thirty giant tree limbs that could catch land eels at a time.
and,
Woohoo
As Grandfather waved his hand, green life force flowed towards a tree giant.
It was a tree that had a hole in its trunk while fighting the Hadonggun party, but the moment it touched the grandfather’s life force, the tree’s body was instantly healed.
The old man, looking at the injured tree, opened his mouth.
“Is this what you did?”
Hadong Geon bowed his head and apologized on behalf of the group.
“I’m sorry. I thought you were a monster….”
“Hmm? Normally you’d just stay still like a tree?”
I spoke to the Hadonggun party.
[The reason the tree giant attacked was because it mistook Mr. Owen for a monster. Let’s show this to Grandfather Owen himself. We’re going to fight together from now on, so he needs to be aware of it.]
“All right.”
Owen Ju stepped forward and spoke to his grandfather.
“Could you please take a look at this?”
And then the personification began,
Woodduck
As soon as Owen’s body transformed into the shape of a bear, the tree giants reacted.
Kuung
But when Grandfather glared, the tree giants stopped walking and returned to their places.
“I understand what you mean. Our tree was the one who was at fault first.”
By then darkness was approaching.
As Ha Dong-geon prepared to throw his spear and Kim Ga-yeong prepared her arrow, the grandfather opened his mouth towards them.
“Stay still.”
“Yes? But….”
“Does it look to you like they’re trying to attack us?”
“yes?”
After hearing my grandfather’s words and looking back, something seemed strange.
If you were aiming for this place, you should gradually lower your altitude. However, the swarm of monsters that colored the sky were only approaching from a few hundred meters above.
“Look at that movement, they’re not here to attack us now, if we leave them alone, they’ll pass by.”
“Yes? Then why…?”
Why are so many monsters rushing towards this place?
“I don’t know, though.”
The grandfather continued speaking with a stiff face.
“It looks like you’re running away from something.”
Why would so many monsters be scared?
Anyway, my grandfather’s prediction turned out to be correct.
Most of the monsters that had dyed the sky pitch black were just passing through the sky.
The light of the night sky had completely disappeared, and only the soft light emitted by the World Tree was illuminating the surroundings.
“blessing!”
The blessings of the Black Pearl have been bestowed upon all people.
“Huh? What is this?”
“It’s a power that increases physical abilities.”
“What the heck, you guys all have some kind of ability?”
“Thanks to Jaehyun.”
“Jaehyun’s Gaga ability is really amazing, hehe.”
The flying fish did not just pass by completely unscathed.
Pavababak!
A school of bluegills flying low close to the ground were piercing the walls of tall buildings and apartment buildings.
Also, a small number of them fell to the ground.
The grandfather shouted loudly when he saw that sight.
“Hide inside the building!”
The people who were preparing for battle, holding various weapons, scattered in unison at the grandfather’s single word.
Some fled into the warehouse where they had initially stored the fish, while others fled into the underground parking lot of a nearby apartment complex.
and,
Woohoo!
Grandfather began to prepare for battle in earnest.

A green wave poured out from his body and covered thirty tree giants.
Kkuddeuk!
Then, the tree giants grew several times larger and were reborn as giants worthy of their names.
The giant trees, emitting a soft green light, moved.
Kwung! Boom!
They clung together tightly and formed a single wall.
Grandfather shouted at the Ha Dong-geon party that was still there.
“What are you guys doing! Aren’t you running away!”
“We’ll help you too!”
“I need it!”
About that time the floor began to vibrate.
They came.
Kugugugu
The ground was shaking as if there was an earthquake due to the large number of monsters rushing in.
[Everyone, even if the monsters’ goal isn’t here, they’re too many for Grandpa to handle alone. Please help.]
I also intended to do my best to help.
The entire Hadonggun party nodded with firm determination.
“Stay inside, Cado!”
“It’ll be hard to do it alone!”
“Oh my! Me, really.”
At first, I thought my grandfather was being overbearing.
But that thought was quickly dispelled when he encountered the monsters that soon invaded.
Kookookookookook!
The moment a horde of monsters of various types approached us,
Kuuung!
Grandfather stomped his feet hard.
and,
Quagwaquagwaquagwaquagwaqua
The floor shook with tremendous force,
Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!
“!!!!”
Thick World Tree roots appeared here and there, accompanied by loud explosions.
Those that broke through the asphalt caught the monsters that were rushing at them recklessly, and became solid walls connecting the buildings.
Suddenly, a large number of monsters gathered together and began to push against the wall with their bodies.
They had no choice because the water was pouring in from behind.
In order to survive, you have to get through it.
however,
Poobooboo!
Sharp thorns spread out in all directions from the roots of the world tree that had been taunting the bastards.
and,
[You have hunted a land shark (Lv. 24).]
[Gain experience points.]
[You have hunted a Topgari (Lv. 23).]
[Gain experience points.]
[You have hunted a Blue Crab (Lv. 29).]
[Gain experience points.]
A dizzying array of notification messages,
The reason there was no settlement message was because these were monsters that my grandfather had hunted himself.
[consanguinity]
All abilities increase by (Trust + 10)%, and the experience points of monsters hunted by someone with the Bloodline title increase by 10 times and are split in half. However, the target has exclusive control over the settlement money.
The grandfather, who holds the bloodline title, monopolizes the settlement money.
Instead, it gives me 5 times the amount of experience points that were multiplied by 10.
“Huh? What’s this all about? Money? Experience?”
Grandfather looked into space in confusion.
This may be because this is the first time you see a system message after being registered as a blood relative.
And next to that grandfather, Ha Dong-geon Party was standing quietly with a blank expression.
It was the same for me.
‘…Is this level 55?’
It was nonsense to say that I would help you.
It was fortunate that it didn’t cause any inconvenience.
Hunting hundreds of monsters with just one kick,
There was no monster.
Moreover, while Grandfather was still, the tree giants were busy moving around and clearing out the monsters that were rushing in.
The tentacles of the tree giants, which had grown large with the help of their grandfather’s power, were able to pierce even the tough chitinous armor without any resistance.
[You have hunted a Giant Crab (Lv. 31).]
[Gain experience points.]
[You have hunted a Giant Lobster (LV, 29).]
[Gain experience points.]
[You have hunted the Sawtooth Chaser (Lv. 30).]
[Gain experience points.]
And then,
[Skill level has increased.]
The pouring in of experience points eventually led to leveling up.
‘Level up? Already?’
I didn’t know I would level up this quickly, so I didn’t even prepare.
‘Ugh!’
The sudden sharp pain caused the view shared with Ha Dong-geon’s party to disappear, and the sight of our apartment complex became visible.
A dome-shaped area surrounding the entire apartment complex,
It quickly expanded its territory.
If you could feel the sensation of your entire body exploding in slow motion, wouldn’t it be like this?
‘Kwaaah!’
The pain that seemed endless ended only after all the roads that had spread out like capillaries were swallowed up and a dome shape with a radius of 1 km was completed.
“Ugh, ugh.”
[An entity that satisfies the conditions for acceptance as a citizen has been discovered.]
[Would you like to grant citizenship?]
Because the scope is such a scope, a huge number of people became eligible for citizenship.
Even at a glance, it was a huge number of people, numbering in the thousands.
‘Among these… is there no mom or dad?’
It was such a huge number that it was difficult to check them all.
However, I would guess that if there were blood relatives, considering the case of the grandfather or grandmother, the message would have been about blood relatives rather than about granting citizenship.
‘Mom, Dad is out of this range.’
That is where Seo Ye-jin is currently searching diligently.
If she looked, there would be an immediate response.
‘Grant citizenship.’
First of all, they accepted thousands of people.
“Jaehyun!”
Yoo Hye-rin supported me as I was about to fall.
My mind was completely worn out, but I couldn’t afford to just collapse from exhaustion.
‘The Eyes of the Absolute’
He immediately activated the Eye of the Absolute and grasped the situation where his grandfather was.
“That’s strange.”
The first thing I saw was the grandfather tilting his head.
“Why are you doing this, sir?”
Hadong Geon’s speech was more polite than before.
After seeing such overwhelming majesty, anyone would have no choice but to be humble.
“In the past, the monsters I caught would lose all their flesh, right? But now, they disappear, leaving only bones behind.”
Hadong Geon answered confidently.
“It’s probably because of Jaehyun’s ability. Originally, we used to have monster corpses left behind after hunting, but after coming under Jaehyun’s influence, there were no monster corpses left behind.”
“Really? Then those strange letters that appear in the air are also reproducible?”
“Yes, that’s right.
“A strange ability to exorcise.”
Looking at the situation, it seemed like the monster wave had been safely overcome.
The number of monsters was staggering, but I was able to hold out because I only had to deal with the ones that came at me from the front. Of course, it wasn’t a scale that I could handle alone.
To be able to fight off that many monsters all by yourself.
Besides, my grandfather didn’t look tired at all.
‘Even though the power of the bloodline is unlocked and all abilities increase several times’
It increases the ability value by 10 times the reliability, so in the case of the grandfather, the ability value would have increased by almost 9 times.
Even taking that into account, this was just huge.
It was possible because the abilities he had from the beginning were enormous.
“So you’re saying that if you hunt monsters, they just disappear?”
“Yes.”
“Go to the Grammo warehouse and call someone.”
“People?”
The grandfather gestured at the sea monsters struggling, still caught in the tree roots.
“Yeah, if you want to eat that raw fish, you have to kill the guys so there’s no meat left.”
“I will call you.”
As the grandfather said, when ordinary people caught the monster, its corpse was left behind.
‘I never thought there would be such inconvenience.’
I never thought I’d end up eating a monster in the first place.
‘Register Item’
As a test, I registered the carcass of a dead tuna as an item.
Jiiing-
A new item called ‘Fish’ has appeared in the store.
‘It’s a success.’
It was more expensive than I thought, but considering its size, it wasn’t surprising.
Even with just this one, almost all white people will come out,
That was when.
[Seo Ye-jin meets the blood relatives of the absolute ruler of the house.]
[Unlocks the power of bloodlines.]
He immediately focused his eyes on Seo Ye-jin.
And there,
“Hey, look over there. Our apartment is fine!”
“That’s right.”

‘Mom…! Dad…!’
My parents, whom I missed so much, are gone.
[Citizenship is granted to 23 people who are subordinate to the blood relative Lee Ji-sook (the one who reigns).]
‘uh?’
That too, with a group of 23 people all of whom were writers,
