Episode 177 Heart Blood -2-
Before we begin the full-scale pursuit, there was one thing we had to do.
Attaching Seo Woo-jin to Seong Hee-young.
“I’ll take good care of you. Okay?”
“Just leave it to me.”
“Don’t trust anything. Be suspicious even when the sun shines, and be suspicious even when a fly flies by. Shapeshifters, druids, and naturalists, these people are after you, Chairman.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Is it okay?
Even Shinwha Group, the number one conglomerate and one of the top six conglomerates, could not keep its chairman.
A level 8 superhuman died helplessly.
But even if they attached Seo Woo-jin, I am honestly skeptical that Geum-oh Group can stop it.
I have no choice but to do well.
It’s a time attack and an alliance.
Will Seong Hee-young die first?
A fight to see who catches and kills the criminal first.
I patted Seo Woo-jin on the shoulder and left.
A personal secretary followed him.
A miserable face like Director Kim.
“Your Majesty, I beg you. If, if the Chairman passes away, I will… … .”
It’s a savage world.
In such cases, it was not uncommon for secretaries and bodyguards to be sacrificed.
“Don’t worry. Everything will be okay.”
“Please, please.”
Climb aboard the Red Cougar and fly to Seonghee Young’s mansion.
The executive secretary was horrified and offered to drive, but he refused.
Time was of the essence.
Rather than having the executive secretary drive and make a fuss, it was important to use all of my skills to get there as fast as possible.
“Meet the Lord of the Silent Sword!”
All the employees were gathered in the mansion.
As expected, everyone’s complexion is pale.
This is the place where Seong Hee-young drank poison.
If Sunghee Young really does something wrong, none of these people will die peacefully.
“Is everyone here? Please wait a moment.”
It would be very convenient if you could immediately identify the identity with the Prophet’s Ring and Golden Eye.
Unfortunately, that is impossible.
The power of the Dark Jaguar, its ability to deceive and transform, is not detected even by the superior characteristics.
Because it is the power of God.
That doesn’t mean there is no way.
He lined up the employees and held up his smartphone.
[Hey, bro! What brings you here? I heard you were training!]
A familiar voice.
A voice that has just gone through puberty, still boyish but has gained a lot of experience and has become more mature.
“Priest, is it time now?”
[Time? I have time, so why?]
“Then I’ll send the Red Cougar. Come back quickly. I have a favor to ask.”
[Hey, please. Just tell me to do it. Do you know where I am?]
“Isn’t that the Colosseum?”
[Ahaha. I got caught.]
“I’ll send it right now.”
It takes one month by Red Cougar from Jongno-gu, where Seong Hee-young’s house is, to Bucheon.
Although I sent it on autonomous driving, Kim Sa-je arrived in less than 10 minutes.
Kim’s magic too.
Kim Sa-je’s eyes widened when he saw the magnificent palace-like house.
Of course, that’s what Kim Ma-beop, the golden spoon, was like.
“Brother? What do you want me to do?”
“It’s simple.”
I pointed to the employees who were frozen like zombies.
“Please give these people a golden blessing once each.”
The power of God must be dealt with with the power of God.
The golden blessing has no power to expose the truth.
However, evil spirits such as the Dark Jaguar will have seizures even when touched by the power of another god.
The same goes for those believers.
If I had a similar level of power, I wouldn’t have needed to call on Priest Kim.
“Yes, I will.”
The employees closed their eyes tightly.
It seems like he doesn’t know the power to interrogate or torture.
The results were different.
A brilliant golden halo, a metallic, splendid light, illuminated them.

A strong power surges from within, making you shine like gold.
“Huh?”
“Uh… … It doesn’t hurt?”
“I feel strange.”
Even if he is a god who has just found his true self, an apostle is still an apostle.
This must be the first time you have received such intense power.
The employees looked bewildered.
I activated my ears and examined them carefully.
‘There isn’t any.’
That could be the case.
Even in the game, the culprit was chosen randomly.
Most of the time, they were transformed into employees, but there were also several other cases.
“Not you. At least there’s no criminal in here.”
“Whew!”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course. I can guarantee it in my name. But I think it would be better if you didn’t leave work for the time being. It’s cleaner than arousing suspicion, right?”
“thank you!”
“Yeah, I survived!”
Some are delighted, some collapse with their legs giving out.
Especially the old gentleman who looked like a butler.
He must have been very distressed because he turned his head away and wiped away his tears.
“Brother? What’s going on?”
“Oh, by any chance… … did something happen to Chairman Sung?”
The foolish Kim Sa-je.
On the other hand, Kim Magic is quick-witted.
“I was ambushed. I’m in the intensive care unit now.”
“That’s ridiculous! Chairman Sung is level 7!”
“Just because you’re high level doesn’t mean you’re invincible.”
“This is a huge problem… … ”
“We have to catch the culprit quickly. If we don’t catch him, I can’t even imagine what will happen.”
“Should I shine my golden blessings on you?”
“That’s right. If you get hit by the criminal, you can immediately identify him.”
“I guess he’s a priest of the evil god… … But if he’s not among the employees, where is he?”
“I have to find it now.”
If you are not an employee, there are two cases left.
Both can be confirmed through CCTV.
Take Kim Sa-je and Kim Ma-beop to the security room.
After dividing the screen into 256 parts, I quickly reviewed the past week’s worth of content.
“Ugh!”
“Oh, I feel dizzy.”
“Can you see all that?”
Even 256 divisions are not enough, but 16x speed.
For an ordinary person, just looking at it would make their eyes spin.
Kim Sa-je, Kim Ma-beop, and the secretary were all frowning.
But I was different.
[Ear eyes][Sixth sense][Bright eyes]
[Insight][Focus][Resolution]
With this trait set, I’m aiming for the big screen by using the Golden Eye and the Prophet’s Ring.
My head hurts so bad.
It hurts so much I feel like I’m going to burst into flames.
While maintaining concentration.
Observing all the creatures, unnatural light sources, and shadows that appear on 256 screens.
Exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds later.
I frowned.
It’s a failure.
Then again.
Another failure.
One more time.
After repeating this 5 times, my head started to feel like it had been sprinkled with candy powder.
The brain, which was dizzy, becomes clearer and concentration is maintained.
[Intelligence] trait.
In the game, it increases magic regeneration.
Success on the 6th attempt, aided by regenerating magic and a clearer consciousness.
I shook off my seat and jumped up.
“Found it.”
“Huh? What?”
“A cat came into the mansion three days ago, right? A black cat.”
“Uh… … Ah, yes. I remember.”
“The other day, the chairman petted the cat and said it was cute. What a charming cat.”
“How do you know that?”
I nodded silently and pointed to the large screen.
“I saw it there.”
“scent…….”
“And yesterday, the chairman himself fed me some Churu.”
Actually, it was unexpected.
I didn’t know Seonghee Young liked animals.
I thought you were ambitious.
To the point of purging his own blood relatives without any blood or tears.
“That is correct.”
“That’s when the hand touched him. Through that touch, the culprit identified his target, and this morning he broke into the kitchen and put a drop of poison in the chairman’s meal.”
“ah!”
The executive secretary let out an exclamation.
It’s a common technique.
Even if you have a secret assistant or use dishes with detoxification and purification magic, it is meaningless.
Because God’s Poison penetrates all defensive magic and only activates on the target.
Bam!
The executive secretary slammed the wall.
“You son of a bitch! How dare you take advantage of the chairman’s favor!”
It happens occasionally in this savage world.
Do you like animals?
In the original world, it was also evaluated as an advantage.
But in this world, things are different.
It’s just a weakness.
If it becomes known, it will be exploited by assassins like this one.
“Your Majesty, you can catch it, right?”
“of course.”
I’m already out in the garden.
Strictly speaking, between the main building and the garden.
Under the long eaves that hang down like a Hanok.
The spot where Seong Hee-young gave Churu to the poor black cat.
[Ear][Sixth sense][Tracking]
[Insight][Bright eyes][Dog nose]
It’s similar to when I was chasing the mountain king in the Cheorwon Plain.
I strained my eyes and sniffed.
All the traces of the world pass me by.
Traces of spring pollen, the smell of the wind, messy footprints, even the smell of animals and butterflies.
After a while, one of the footprints turns red.
Cat footprints.
Cute, adorable, but harboring a vicious malice.
also.
Definitely deeper than other animal footprints.
‘You’re a shapeshifter.’
Better than a druid.
The Druids of the Evil God can command animals, so they stay far away and only command animals to cast curses.
I followed the footsteps calmly.
“Witch. Can you lend me your Cloak of Hiding?”
“Huh? I already gave you one.”
“You gave it to me?”
“Yes. I have a lot at home.”
“That’s great. Secretary, you also have stealth skills, right?”
“That is a given.”
“Let’s all go into hiding.”
I also have the stealth trait equipped.
Kim Magic and Kim Saje wore cloaks of concealment.
The executive secretary manipulates his prosthetic hand to disappear.
From that state, start tracking your footprints.
It wasn’t far.
Inwangsan Mountain.
Seong Hee-young’s mansion was connected to the place that surrounded it like a back mountain.
For a long time, almost to the top.
Then suddenly it cut off and I stopped walking.
[Are you here?]
The executive secretary asks silently.
I also looked back at the three and nodded.
The ear where all kinds of information are input.
A cave was seen, cleverly camouflaged with grass, branches, and rocks.
People cannot enter.
It’s big enough to fit a rabbit or a cat.
I patted Father Kim.
After the Colosseum Kim party, we can understand each other just by looking at each other.
Father Kim nodded calmly.
He kneels down on the spot and prays.
Flash!
The light soared.
Under the hidden cave.
A golden, splendid pillar rises up faintly.
A scream follows.
“Kwaaaaak!”
If I hadn’t dug the inner space wider, I would have died.
I held a pistol still.
The smaller caliber of the two prolific pistols.
The selected property is [Stop].
Wait a moment.
As expected, the screaming stopped and a moment later a dark shadow flew up.
Foodduck!
A crow.
The shapeshifter was a level 5 superhuman, but he chose to run away.
The decision was quick, but not good.
Because it was exactly as I predicted.
bang!
A single gunshot.
A dark line pierced the air.
The still attribute strikes the crow.
A crow falling without even being able to scream.
The shapeshifter’s greatest strength and greatest weakness.
Instead of transforming into various animals, you become weaker while transformed.
Even small-caliber pistol bullets are lethal to the common crow.
I walked leisurely towards the crow.
With your hands on the weapon.
Predicting the shapeshifter’s next move.
“Son of a bitch!”
This time it was as expected.
The crow suddenly rises and transforms.
A monster with a gorilla-like body and bulging muscles.
Monster gorilla.
When I was level 4, I was recommended to use it as a special potion material along with the Horned Tiger.
I guess it’s okay.
Focus on pouring out the guns you’ve replaced through the gun shop.
Tututututu!
A dull gunshot.
It’s a shotgun.
The king of close combat poured out before my eyes.
In addition to the destructive attribute, it also has the destructive trait, and is equipped with divine power, holy light, lightning, and black flame.
This is a complete set of additional damage.
The jaguar’s face was distorted.
Slowly, very slowly, look down at your stomach.
It was completely empty.
It missed the heart just a little bit, and blew away the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
At least it’s still alive because it’s an incarnation monster.
If it had been a normal monster, it would have just died.
“Th, th, th. You, you dog… … .”
It collapses without any words.
The flesh regenerates slowly, but at a slow rate.
I lay down on top of the shapeshifter and tied his arms.
[Actual Fighting] and [Suppression] activated.
Now this guy can’t do anything.
“Priest, heal me.”
“Huh? If I use divine power, this guy will die?”
“I won’t die. I’m human.”
“Ah… … I guess you’re a shapeshifter.”
Even the priests of evil spirits are human.
Anyway, since it is not an unclean being, it will not die even if it is treated by a priest of another god.
It must hurt so much that I want to die.
“Kkaaaah!”
A scream erupted.
As much as it hurt, it quickly recovered thanks to Kim Sa-je’s [Cure].
But I couldn’t move an inch.
Because I’m subduing you.
“Let go! Let go!”
The transformation was over because of how much it hurt.
Instead of the jaguar monster, a skinny white man appeared.
The smell was horrible, I don’t know when I last washed it.
He asked, squeezing my neck with his forearm.
“Where is the heart blood?”
A white man who hears me and stiffens with a click.
You can tell without even looking.
Rolling his eyes slyly.
He tightened his grip on my neck without giving me time to think.
“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”
It wasn’t just a matter of prayer being blocked, it was almost bone-shattering.
He asks again, completely crushing me with his weight.
“What about the heart?”
The answer should be out there by now.
Because only the fanatic priests themselves, who can move things like sunlight or shadows and inject poison, can endure such torture.
Shapeshifters and druids can never tolerate torture.
But instead of confessing, the white man just laughed and laughed.
“I left it for your mother! Kuk, kuk!”
If you listen to the padlip and just sit still, you’re not Korean.
He placed his left hand on the white man’s back.
And injected.
Black salt.
A black flame that burns the nervous system.
“Ugh, ugh! Ugh!”
Then a white man jumped up and down.
I couldn’t even scream.
I was shocked by the pain beyond imagination.
Even in the midst of all that, he gritted his teeth and showed truly incredible endurance.
“You’re tougher than you look?”
This is a rare case even in games.
I haven’t experienced it either.
I only saw it once, on some streamer’s broadcast.
If I hadn’t watched that broadcast, I might have missed the real culprit.
I turned on my earphones.
In particular, I used the clairvoyance trait and the foresight ability from the Prophet’s Ring to search the underground.
Where the white man was hiding.
A red line is drawn across my field of vision, creating a 3D map.
And so, a narrow and long passage was discovered.
After confirming the end, he flew his body.
Whew!
Run hundreds of meters in one breath.
“Huh?”
“brother!”
“Your Majesty the Silent Sword!”
Ignore the voice calling from behind.
He can jump over rocks and trees with ease.
It’s the same even if a private house comes out.
The security alert went off, but I was already past it.
“What, what are you trying to do… … .”
The still subdued white man asks.
Of course I ignored it.
Finally I arrive at the place I had been looking for.
“meow?”
A small vacant lot.
A small cave secretly dug into a crevice in a rock.
A black cat pokes its head out there.
Our eyes met.
The cat looks at me, a subdued white man.
“Haaak!”
He attacks fiercely to save his friend, but will that be possible?
A normal level 0 cat that is neither a mutant nor a spirit.
“Luna! No!”
The white man is a shapeshifter and a druid.
It was no use helping my animal friend escape.
I screamed in pain, but it was too late.
“Meow!”
The claws that were pulled out with all their might were colorless.
The black cat also ended up being subdued by my hands.
