Trait Hoarder Chapter 203

Episode 203: The Highest Level -3-

Just a few days ago, Kim Ji-yoon was having the best day of her life.

A mart I often use.

When I went in without thinking much, a magical firework exploded in a spectacular manner.

[Congratulations, Customer!]

[This is the millionth visit to our store!]

[We are giving away a French restaurant voucher as a gift!]

So I had a dreamlike experience at the restaurant I went to.

Gorgeous interior.

A dish made with the finest ingredients.

Tableware made of a mixture of silver and copper.

It was literally a restaurant you only see on TV.

My family loved it too.

[Mom! This is so delicious!]

[Let’s come again next time!]

[Haha. It was worth going to that mart. I heard it’s a lot cheaper there than other places.]

But the happiness did not last long.

One by one, the family members began to nod off.

Could it be anorexia?

When Kim Ji-yoon woke up from a deep sleep, hell had begun.

[Honey! Honey!]

[I’m okay! I’m right there! Don’t fight back and stay still!]

[Honey! No!]

[Dad! Sob, sob, Daddy!]

The family woke up inside an iron cage.

People were locked up like pigs in a cramped prison.

I couldn’t even get a sip of water to drink.

That kind of thing is fine.

The real ones were the people who were dragged out every day.

[honey…….]

Of the four family members, my husband was the first to be taken away.

And never came back.

[Praise the great Supreme Being!]

[Oh, holy Lord, purify the world♪]

[Oh, prey on the unbelievers and establish your majesty♪]

After people were dragged away like that, the sound of singing was inevitably heard.

A voice worthy of being cursed.

A maddening melody was streaming through the ceiling.

“Mom… … I’m thirsty.”

“mom……”

My young daughter and son are whining.

But even if I stretch out my arms, I can’t hug you.

The fanatics went out of their way to lock up families in different prisons.

So that you can suffer even a little.

So that when offered as a sacrifice, it can produce stronger mental energy.

“Mom is here. Hye-yeon, Jeong-hoon, just hold on for a little longer. Okay?”

“Mom, Mom… … ”

Kim Ji-yoon knelt down and prayed earnestly.

“Old father. Save your child… … .”

There was no response.

Even though I donated so much money and went to the temple every weekend, I received no salvation or helping hand.

“Hehehe, my god.”

“Please save me, please save me.”

“I was wrong. I was wrong!”

As time goes by, there are fewer people.

The fanatics dragged people away several times a day.

And then came the time that Kim Ji-yoon desperately hoped would never come.

“You come out.”

“No! My daughter, please! You should take me instead!”

“Shut up! You old woman. The High King wants fresh young blood. Take her away!”

“No!”

“This bitch is for real!”

Phew!

Kim Ji-yoon clutched her stomach and gasped for breath.

Where and how did you get hit?

The pain of my intestines twisting made my brain go blank.

But motherly love sometimes transcends pain.

Even while spitting out blood, he crawled on the floor towards the fanatic and his wailing daughter.

“My daughter… … No… … Only Hye-yeon… … .”

“This bitch is for real!”

The fanatic raised his fist high.

Then, the fanatic next to him stops him.

“Stop it. It’s your loss if you kill her. Have you forgotten all the trouble you went through to catch that bitch without any trouble? She’ll be dead tomorrow, so leave her alone.”

“fu*k. Got it.”

bang!

The believer roughly closed the iron gate.

“You b*tch! It’s your son’s turn in the afternoon, and tomorrow is your turn! Hehe, your family will be waiting in the great Jigohwa’s belly. Look forward to it!”

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Mom! Mom!”

I couldn’t do anything.

I was completely helpless.

In this cruel world, all a normal person can do is cry and despair.

Beneath the deathly silence, only the cruel sound of crying is heard.

You’ll soon hear the sound of singing.

A death hymn praising the god known as Jigohwa.

And a desperate scream.

Kim Ji-yoon just covered her ears.

“Old father… … Old father… … ”

I call out loud to the god who doesn’t answer.

He prays with tears of blood dripping down his face and blood spitting out of his throat.

To offer oneself.

He prays that his daughter Hye-yeon and his son Jeong-hun will be spared, even if they become the terrifying human sacrifice.

at that time.

At that time, Jiyoon Kim was praying.

Tata tata tang!

A gunshot was heard.

A sound I have never heard since I was brought here.

Raise your head.

Kim Ji-yoon and everyone else raise their heads.

A vague, doubtful expression appeared on his face.

“Oh, by any chance, a punitive force?”

“A punitive force?”

“Has the punitive force really come?”

“No way!”

“What kind of people are they? There’s no way a punitive force would come to such a large cult!”

Some held out hope.

Some shook their heads, saying it probably wasn’t the case.

But even those who deny it can’t help but have a glimmer of anticipation on their faces.

Tata tang! Bang! Tata tang!

Because the gunshots are getting closer.

[Ahhhh!]

[Cough!]

[It’s a monster!]

Because I hear screams.

Kim Ji-yoon swallowed dry saliva.

“Screams… … Men’s voices!”

“What is that?”

“You only took children and young women earlier!”

“That’s right! That’s right!”

“Listen carefully! The screams are a little different! They’re not screams of someone dying in a fire!”

Until last night there was a terribly long scream.

Just hearing it makes your spine tingle.

But now?

All that comes out is a short, muffled scream.

Not the screams of long-term suffering, but of dying in an instant.

But the gunshots didn’t last long.

All sound subsides.

A moment when no screams, no gunshots, no singing can be heard.

How much time has passed?

Kwah! Kwah! Kwaang!

I thought the ceiling was shaking and making a lot of noise, but then even that subsided.

The trapped people exchange anxious glances.

How does everything work?

Did the punitive force really come?

So they want to wipe out the fanatics and save themselves?

or not…….

Is this also a trick of fanatics?

When terrible imaginations and anxieties begin to eat away at your soul.

Squeak.

The door opened.

The sound of the iron door creaking, which had been cursed and frightening until just a moment ago.

But now, I cry with hope and expectation that something might happen.

People crane their necks to look at the iron bars.

That direction.

Behind the open iron door.

A man wearing black tracksuit was standing there.

“Tsk.”

The man clicks his tongue lightly.

A man with a strange air, who exudes a heavy, intimidating aura.

He is a superhuman.

I felt that way the moment I saw it.

That kind of thing was good, after all.

Right behind the man.

Because a child came running out naturally.

“mom!”

It was Kim Ji-yoon’s daughter, Choi Hye-yeon.

My daughter came running across the damp floor.

He hugs Kim Ji-yoon across the iron bars.

Suddenly, tears burst out.

“Mom!”

“Yes, Hye-yeon! Hye-yeon! Mommy is here! Mommy is here!”

It wasn’t just Kim Ji-yoon.

The children who had been dragged away came running in crying.

“mom!”

“dad!”

These are children who were beaten mercilessly when they were taken away.

The image of his bruised cheek and broken leg was etched into his parents’ hearts like a painting.

But now it’s okay.

There isn’t a single wound or bloodstain to be found.

How did this happen?

It was good anyway.

Putting aside her doubts, Kim Ji-yoon burst into tears.

There was no more sadness or despair.

I was filled with a sense of relief and joy at having been saved and at being alive.

“Thank you… … Thank you… … Old Father… … .”

I prayed to God without realizing it, but it didn’t seem right.

The man said, clicking his tongue.

“Old father? Don’t thank such evil gods. Instead, thank the god Thor and the goddess Gaia.”

“yes?”

Phew!

The man shone.

Anyone who sees it will see the intense light of divine power.

Knock, knock.

Wooooow.

A lightning bolt bursts from his right hand.

A strange cube-shaped shape grows from his left hand.

A man waving his hands lightly.

Lightning and transparent shapes swept through the prison.

I instinctively flinch.

But then something strange happened.

I got struck by lightning and hit by a piece of cubic stone, but it didn’t hurt.

Instead, my hunger and thirst disappeared, my stomach aching became refreshed, and I felt completely better.

“Go, thank you.”

“Please step aside. I’ll open the door for you.”

“Yes, four!”

Kim Ji-yoon retreats in a hurry.

A man swings his hand and breaks the iron bars.

No, it’s almost crushed.

Even for a superhuman, the power is unbelievable.

I was dumbfounded for a while before finally coming to my senses.

For the first time, I noticed three badges hanging from the man’s chest.

‘The Order of Thor… … The Guardians’ Alliance… … The Order of Gaia… … Ah!’

Kim Ji-yoon just realized who the man was.

Kim Jeon Sa.

The protagonist who protected Seoul from a large-scale terrorist attack.

The strongest superhuman who not only saved the president, but also killed the Empress of Massacre, the leader of the terrorist league.

And an honorary knight of the Order of Thor and the Order of Gaia.

“Thank you, thank you. Thank you, Master Geumseong… … I also offer a prayer of thanks to the greatest lightning and the heaviest mother… … .”

This moment.

Kim Ji-yoon’s faith in her old father disappeared from her heart.

Instead, devotion to Thor, or Gaia, grows.

After all, it was two gods who answered the prayer.

Because he was a knight of honor to the two gods.

Shh.

Kim Jeon-sa also laughed.

New believers are always welcome.

Especially if it is something that is eating away at the influence of the old father’s sect.

* * *

‘It was worth the effort.’

It’s so ironic.

A pseudo-religious group supported by the old Father’s Church kidnapped the old Father’s followers?

If the truth comes out, the backlash will be huge.

But those who want to believe will believe.

‘Anyway, there are too many bad guys in the world.’

The reason why the old father’s sect survived so tenaciously.

The reason why it continues to be powerful as one of the seven major religious sects despite losing the war of destruction.

It’s simple.

When my father received an offering, he paid the price right away.

Money or super powers that can turn your life around.

“Come out.”

“Go, thank you.”

“Excuse me, Excuse me, Mr. Black. Have you seen our child’s father up there?”

The woman who had been crying while hugging her daughter and son a moment ago asks.

I shook my head quietly.

The victims who were taken away yesterday must have already turned to ashes.

It would be fortunate if at least some remains remain.

The gods are so greedy that they suck out not only the body but also the soul.

“Ugh! Honey!”

“Mom, don’t cry.”

“At least you protected the children. I… … .”

Should I have come sooner?

I get that feeling when I see victims crying while being happy.

‘no.’

If you had come yesterday, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat the incarnation.

Just because it’s a celestial flower doesn’t mean it’s omnipotent.

It would have caused less damage without being able to bridge the gap between gods and humans.

As a result, I would have died by the incarnation, and everyone here would have died as well.

Let me just do what I can.

I am neither the savior of the world nor a hero.

“Let’s go.”

The victims were brought out.

They follow along well, even though they stumble.

It is because of the divine power and radiance that I radiate.

It’s also because of the characteristics of the Earth.

Compared to lightning, its attack power is definitely lower, but its defense and recovery power are top-notch among all upper attributes.

“That kid!”

As we entered the temple, the old woman rolled her eyes.

Kim Man-jong was discovered buried in a shattered altar.

“Die! Die!”

Run to the corpse and kick it.

It was the same with other victims.

“Boys are good!”

“Kaaa, hoo!”

“Ehhhh, ehhhhh!”

The parents who lost their children burst into tears.

The orphaned child smiled with split lips.

I saw an old man spitting blood-mixed spit.

One student punched without even realizing that he was breaking a bone in his hand.

I didn’t bother to stop him.

It will also be necessary to resolve any pent-up resentment.

“Are you feeling calmer?”

After a while, when I asked, the victims bowed deeply.

“Thank you, Your Majesty… … Thank you very much.”

“Please save me and take revenge on me… … .”

“Ugh, ugh.”

“Let’s go. Shouldn’t you be going home?”

“Ugh, thank you, thank you, ugh, thank you… … .”

As you leave the temple, a pitch-black passage awaits you.

It looks like the power line got cut off somewhere while fighting the Avatar.

The victims are muttering behind them.

Because they are physically and mentally vulnerable, they feel instinctive fear.

It doesn’t matter.

I snapped my fingers and made a snap sound.

Wow!

The sparks spreading from it.

The highest.

A golden fireball spread around like a candle.

In front of me, and especially behind me.

Around the victims.

“Wow!”

“So pretty!”

“Butterfly! Mom! It’s a butterfly!”

“There are birds too!”

“And the dog too!”

[Jigohwa][Thor’s training method][Magic soul]

[Immortal][Sacrifice][Concentration]

Jigohwa consumes less magic power.

However, this is only for the highest level of characteristics.

If you make dozens of these and change their shapes, the magical power consumption will be enormous.

So equip the sacrifice.

He converted his life force into magic power, filled the consumed life force with immortality, and increased his magic power with Thor’s training method and magic soul.

What computational ability is lacking is compensated for by concentration.

‘Oh, my head.’

My head was aching terribly.

Should I create a high-concentration trait?

I wasn’t making it because it’s a trait used by wizards… … .

“Bar, it’s outside!”

“Outside!”

After walking for a while, we finally saw some light.

Warm sunlight.

The rescued victims looked overwhelmed.

A bright light was spreading across his gloomy face.

“Thank you for your effort.”

Choi Seon-su handed me a cold drink.

Let’s drink it in one gulp. It will clear your stomach.

“Wow!”

“I guess you’ve had a lot going on inside.”

“Can you see that?”

“Yes. You don’t look well.”

That makes sense.

Because the inside was a hell of human life.

He handed over the engineer’s license and whispered to Choi Seon-su in a low voice.

“How many more times will this happen in the future?”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“And there are hospitals in Seoul, right? Especially the Big Five. Contact them and tell them to be careful. They’re going to be attacked soon.”

“Hospital? Who?”

“The Dark Jaguar Cult.”

“Ah… … Yes. I understand. Then I will have to send a superhuman from Jeon Sa-bang-sa. I will also have to cooperate with Jeil Security… … I will talk to Chief Seo.”

“Woojin, you’ve had a hard time.”

Seo Woo-jin recently finished repairing the Sky Boat.

What we’ve added this time is a military-use, extra-large magic radar.

Seo Woo-jin couldn’t come here because it was equipped with radar that was almost like an early warning device.

If I hadn’t saved the president last time, if I hadn’t had a connection with the corps commander, I would never have been able to save him.

I need to catch the High Priest of the Dark Jaguar Cult soon, and I need the radar then.

“Mr. Geumseong! Please give me an interview!”

“Just say one word!”

“Just a moment! Just a moment!”

A bunch of reporters called by Choi Seon-su are flocking in.

They smell a scoop and are screaming outside.

But it doesn’t come in.

This is because the superhumans belonging to the security team are blocking the area by building a wall of people.

There were exactly two groups that came in.

Only the knights of the Order of Thor and the Order of Gaia.

“There were some fake guys?”

“Yes. We caught them in the act of human sacrifice. At least a few thousand people were sacrificed.”

“her…….”

“And this is just my opinion, but there must be some force behind it.”

“It’s obvious.”

The Thor Order Paladin glared behind him.

Aside from the reporters, there is another group blocked.

The old Father’s Order of Bishops and Knights.

Because the security of the entire company was not enough, we even provided support to the best security.

Especially the CEO and vice-president of Jeil Security.

In addition, bishops and priests from both denominations are physically blocking entry.

I didn’t have Choi Seon-su contact you for nothing.

“We’ll take care of the rest.”

“Please, please take care of the victims too.”

“Of course it should be like that.”

There’s a lot to do.

We were already moving quickly, but now we have to move even faster.

It would be a shame to lose your mind and be toyed with by a saint like during the Seoul terrorist attack.

Climbed the Red Cougar.

As I pulled the joystick and surfaced, a cheer erupted from below.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

“Take care!”

“I will never forget what happened today!”

Victims covered in green blankets.

He was waving his arms at me while drinking warm water and eating porridge.

I opened the window and gave a small greeting.

And acceleration.

Kwaaaaah!

The red cougar ran under the sky.

Towards the Sun Tower.

To settle an old bet.
