Mutant Incident -1-
Mutant Incident
It was a large statue.
A statue of a priest who resembles both a bull and a dragon.
It’s not the form that matters.
The magical power waves spreading from the magical power core embedded in the heart were real.
[sanctuary]
A certain space is made into a safe zone by the owner’s will.
No being may enter the sanctuary without the owner’s permission.
If a strong force exceeding the capacity of the magic core invades, it will be banished and a strong warning will be issued.
Even if a strong person cannot be banished, he can still have a deterrent effect.
I took a long look at the portrait.
‘It’s level 4.’
The sect whose highest rank is level 3 sent a level 4 god.
It must have been quite a struggle to make just one of these······
And the holy sword.
[Holy Sword] A tier 1 weapon with unique characteristics, no matter what anyone says.
As expected from its unique characteristics, it is very powerful.
It is a composite trait of the three traits: [Light Strike], which inflicts additional damage to dark attribute enemies, [Enhanced], which increases all abilities, and [Protection], which makes you resistant to all types of attacks.
However, unlike other artifacts, even if you gain proficiency, you will not get the holy sword characteristics.
Only Paladins can acquire the Holy Sword trait.
‘Thank you, Father Kim.’
It was worth spending hundreds of millions to prepare gold and offerings.
The holy sword on the golden staff and the holy statue of the sanctuary······
I feel full even though I haven’t eaten.
I went down to the underground training room carrying the statue and the holy sword.
After installing the statue in a corner, activate it.
Woohoo.
An invisible wave enveloped my house.
This puts my worries to rest.
Actually, I felt like there was a lack of security, but I guess a sanctuary would suffice.
Chae-Ang!
I pull out the holy sword.
It looks like a typical Western longsword.
The sacred characters engraved on the surface sparkle elegantly.
It feels like a sip of light is flowing along the blade.
Here’s a handle that sticks to your hand.
‘It must be expensive.’
An N-grade holy sword is expensive, let alone an R-grade holy sword.
I swung it in the air a few times.
The sacred text glitters and imprints its mark upon space.
The imprint flowed and left a trail in the Milky Way.
Suddenly I felt excited.
He took a stance and began to conduct bankruptcy proceedings.
Breaking mountains, splitting mountains, piercing mountains.
It wasn’t just a simple gesture. He used one point, a slash, a strong blow, and a series of attacks in turn. He used them one at a time, then combined them into two, then combined them into three, and then used them continuously, pouring out all his magical power.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”
The magic power has stabilized a lot in the past few days, but it still seems to have a long way to go.
My magic power quickly ran out and I was out of breath.
Instead, a silver halo of light flickered before me like a storm of gold flies.
It may look beautiful, but if you touch it, it will be torn to shreds.
Sagrada stared blankly at the halo of light and then grabbed the holy sword again.
‘I have to work hard.’
I’ve gotten a lot stronger, but I still have a long way to go.
Even now, one bullet can send you to hell.
You shouldn’t be proud that you single-handedly swept away the dagger faction and easily subdued the bishops and guardians of the cult.
In Arcane Seoul, a superhuman like me is strong and tough.
“Hoosh! Hoop! Hoop!”
Immerse yourself in training.
You train in the art of bankruptcy, use the Einherjar training method to control your magical power, and when you get tired, you enter the magic bath and soak in the magical water.
The effect was incredibly good.
All the potential magical power was gathering into the magical heart.
At this rate, it’ll be enough to absorb all of the nectar’s magic power.
I didn’t even go outside the house.
I didn’t even go up to the first floor except to eat or go to the bathroom.
sleep?
I threw away all those luxuries.
Because just practicing magic power in the Magic Heaven can replace sleep.

Although it was a strain on my body, I was getting stronger very quickly.
After a week, the latent magic power finally reaches its end.
“Coolook!”
Am I running too fast?
The side effects came.
He vomited blood once and wiped his mouth.
“You pushed yourself too hard.”
The more urgent it is, the more you have to go back.
A side effect of magic power growing too strong too quickly.
The body, especially the heart, needed time to adapt to the magic.
Whether you’re exercising vigorously, fighting a battle, or even just lying around doing nothing.
First of all, the characteristics have been changed overall.
[Magic Heart][Magic Stability][Meditation]
[Vitality][Perseverance][Regeneration]
Focusing on properties that will strengthen and protect my body.
‘But I can’t just sit around and do nothing.’
I can’t just lie down knowing exactly what will happen to this world in the future.
Something must be done.
I got up.
First, I went to the bedroom and checked inside the safe.
When I moved into this house, it was worth over 2 billion won, but now it’s down to half of that.
Instead, I gained a lot in return.
He put the golden staff in and locked the safe.
‘Should I make some money?’
Light quality?
I don’t do that kind of thing.
Why do such dirty, difficult, and dangerous work when you can just sell the golden staff?
Instead, I picked up my smartphone.
[Chief Player]
[Aren’t you Superman? What’s going on?]
“Oh, yes. It’s been a while.”
[Yes! Long time no see! How have you been?]
“I’m doing well. Is everything okay at the office?”
[Hahaha. These days, the workaholic is going crazy. It’s total chaos!]
“Yes? Why?”
[It’s all thanks to Superman. Rumors have already spread. Superman and I have a contractual relationship. Thanks to that, requests are pouring in from all over.]
“Is there anything I should do?”
[Most of them, no. I kept a few requests that seemed okay, but I didn’t contact you because you said you were taking a break.]
“Really? That’s good. I need some practical experience right now. If there’s a request that allows me to do some practical work, I’d like to take it.”
[Practical? Sounds great! Do you have any conditions you would like?]
“Yes. It would be difficult to fight against a level 3 superhuman, but are there any requests where the opponent is a level 1 or 2 superhuman, or a mutant? Those requests would be perfect. It doesn’t have to be a human, it can be a monster.”
But you need to have level 1 and level 2 monsters.
All the monsters in this small piece of land have long since been exterminated.
There are many of them near the Military Demarcation Line, but even there, the Eastern and Western armies hold on tightly.
The two legions only grant hunting permission to superhumans of level 3 or higher.
Director Choi was silent for a moment.
Then he carefully takes out a name.
[There is one thing, but······ Well, I don’t know if I can tell you this.]
“What is it?”
[Landfill 1, you know?]
“of course.”
[A while ago, we sent a cleaning team from another human resources agency, and everyone inside was mutated.]
“Wait a minute. Power mutation?”
[Yes. We checked with a drone and found that there are at least six mutants roaming around.]
“Crazy. You don’t even know what level it is?”
[I don’t know about that. But if it’s mutated that much, it means it’s been exposed to a tremendous amount of polluted magic, and it wouldn’t be strange if there were one or two level 2 ones.]
“oh my god.”
Minimum of six level 1 monsters.
Maybe there are two levels, or maybe there are one or two more instead of six.
“Then wouldn’t the janitors’ association usually handle it?”
[That’s a request that came in through the back door. I can’t contact the cleaners’ association.]
“why?”
[It’s obvious. Isn’t that the situation of the higher-ups? If one or two people on the cleaning team mutate, the cleaning team can handle it and blame it on the human resources office’s negligence in management if there’s a problem, but if the entire cleaning team mutates, it’s a problem that could cost several civil servants their jobs. In particular, the current head of the cleaning association is a bit of a pushover. He’s also ambitious. He’s at odds with the management office, so if we ask them to do it, they’ll throw a story about it to the reporters.]
yes.
Park Dae-yeop, President of the Cleaning Association.
He also appears as the main villain in the game.
“But isn’t it bad if you leave it for too long? I heard that if you leave the accumulated polluted magic in the landfill without cleaning it, a monster-level pollutant will be born. There could even be a huge explosion.”
[That’s true, but it’ll be okay for a few days. It’ll have to rot for at least a month. If there’s no other way, I’ll contact the Cleaning Association before then. Or use superhuman mercenaries.]
mercenary!
That’s right. If you use a level 3 superhuman as a mercenary, you won’t be able to catch a few mutants.
It’ll cost you a ton of money, but it’s better than losing your balls.
The treatment and social status of civil servants in the original world and civil servants in this world are as different as heaven and earth.
“It’s a mutant······”
It’s risky, but you can just use a shotgun.
Everyone is equal before the gun.
I was confident I could win even if all six were level 2.
“What about the compensation?”
[I can’t give you much money. I’ll give you 100 million for each level 1 mutant’s magic core, and 300 million if a level 2 mutant comes out. However, the condition is that you get the spoils.]
“That’s annoying. My seat is on the line, but that’s all I can give you?”
[I was also concerned about that, so I tried to appeal, but they said they couldn’t give me cash, so instead they’d give me an artifact. As a reward for success.]
“What kind of artifact is it?”
[That’s it, Superman······]
Director Choi hesitated for a moment before continuing.
[Are you interested in a magic gun?]
“A magic gun? Of course I’m interested. Oh, and are you giving me a magic gun?”
[That’s right.]
The magic gun is the gun version of the magic sword.
Guns are often rated higher than assault rifles because their attack power is more important.
“Is there a problem? Are you cursed or······”
[Most swords and guns are like that. I only received a photo, but I didn’t receive an appraisal. They said they didn’t receive an appraisal at all.]
“That’s the case with most cursed items and magic swords. It’s more expensive to sell them without revealing the curse.”
[That’s definitely true.]
“Please show me a picture.”
Because it might be something I know.
Tiring!
Soon the photo was sent and appeared on the smartphone screen.
A pistol that resembles the Colt M1911, which is commonly seen in movies and games.
The difference is that the barrel is engraved with a long black gold pattern and a blazing flame pattern.
It’s a gun I know.
A Grade R gun, commonly called [Black Flame].
‘This is coming from here.’
A pistol used by the old Father’s Church to execute apostates.
If hit correctly, an unquenchable black flame will burn, killing the victim.
However, there is a curse attached to it.
Inflicts the Black Flame debuff on the user.
The horsepower efficiency here is also not good.
It’s an item that processes magic power to shoot black flame bullets, so it can’t be very efficient.
But for me, neither of those apply.
Because I already overcame the fever debuff and gained the black flame trait.
It was as if it was shouting that it had been prepared just for me.
‘This has to go.’
The main weapons are the holy sword and the magic gun.
Secondary weapons include an assault rifle, an automatic shotgun, and a grenade launcher.
There’s nothing to be afraid of with this combination.
“It’s a good gun. I’ll accept it.”
[Are you serious? You don’t even know what kind of curse it is? The magic gun can’t even lift the curse!]
“It’s a gun I know.”
[Oh······ I guess it’s a ready-made product.]
“Yes. It’s the old Father’s Church execution gun.”
[aha!]
“Do you understand now?”
[Hahaha! Of course! I know what you mean! This is a gun made for superhumans!]
“That’s it.”
The so-called Holy Horse build.
It can be made with various combinations, such as a holy sword and a magic sword, a magic sword and holy armor, or a holy sword and a magic gun.
In my experience, carrying a different type of weapon works best.
When using a holy sword and a magic sword together, interference occurs, but this does not apply to a holy sword and a magic gun, or a magic sword and a holy gun.
Director Choi laughed heartily on the other side of the smartphone.
[Joining with you, Superman, was the best decision of my life! I will reply to the management office that you have accepted my request. The management office is very busy, so they will probably ask me to process it right away tomorrow.]
“Then I’ll go first.”
[No, no! Superman is leaving, so I have to take you there! How about tomorrow morning at 8, 8? I will take you to Superman’s house!]
“You don’t have to do that······”
[No! You are my savior, so I can’t do that! Anyway, I’ll see you tomorrow morning!]
“Okay, let’s do that.”
The next day.
I got in the CEO’s car and arrived at the first landfill.
Last time, I came here as a day laborer with nothing.
At that time, one low-level civil servant would come out and that was it, but today, everyone from the chief to the lowest level came out to greet us.
“Are you here? I’ve been waiting for you.”
A gray-haired man asking to shake hands.
He waved his hand briefly and got straight to the point.
“You said there were six mutants? Did you happen to check their levels?”
“Yes······ As you know, it is difficult to detect magic power due to the contaminated magic power.”
“I guess so.”
It would be simple if we called a wizard, but these humans wouldn’t do that.
I opened my golf bag and started to arm myself.
On the left waist is the holy sword.
A bunch of grenades on his right waist.
A thick automatic shotgun on the back.
A rifle with a grenade launcher attached in the right hand.
On his left arm is a newly purchased arm shield.
Underneath the tracksuit is a protective suit.
Fully armed, like when fighting the dagger wave.
Here, you can’t forget the [Healing] necklace and [Strength] gloves.
Chuuup, chuaap.
I could hear the glove sucking my blood through my bones.
I didn’t use the diamond.
It’s good that you can change the trait whenever you want if you get the toughness trait, but the number of traits you can use right away is reduced from 9 to 8.
Keep it for now.
I was planning to take the penalty and use it for the time being.
“I will go in.”
“Yes. Please do so.”
Yeah, yeah.
The concrete structure door opened.
Darkness gaping like a monster from the abyss.
Phew, a pungent smell wafted out.
The air itself was different than when I last came.
‘Contamination magic······’
Is this what happens when you don’t clean for just a few days?
I put strength into my right hand that was holding the gun and moved my foot.
Geek Geek.
The door closed and a darkness thicker than the bottomless pit engulfed me.
