Chapter 9: Chapter -8- [Only the dead can see me-4]
Yu Il Han was unexpectedly calm as he watched the events unfold. Because he knew that such a day would come sooner or later.
[Tutorials have already ended. Lord God has already given everything that he can to humanity. Humanity has to survive by itself from now on.]
Erta's voice sounded quite distant. From that, Yu Il Han felt that she looked at the scene with different eyes. He was convinced that she wouldn't help in any way no matter how much energy she had. Unless an unexpected element comes up. Not that he expected any help from her.
Actually, monsters were slowly coming towards the building, that is, the Business Hall that the students along with Yu Il Han were in.
For the time being, he thought of taking a mask from the stationery shop on the 2nd floor, as he didn't want any unnecessary attention to himself.
As soon as he remembered that place, he rushed to the stairs and jumped over the railing. Clinging to the railing, he slid down to the second floor. He ran to the stationery store and randomly grabbed a wolf mask. It took him 10 seconds to get here. It was an inhuman speed.
"Letttssu go!!!" He started running with a Mario shout.
He skipped down the stairs to the ground floor and then to the exit door. Coincidentally, a human-sized mantis was in the middle of destroying the spinning door of the Business Hall.
[Kuiiiiiiiii!]
"Hayya!" With a strange Bruce Lee wail, Yu Il Han's body flew through the air. And when he reached the creature's side, he slammed his razor-sharp kick into the mantis's jaw like a soccer player's volley. Its head exploded with a disturbing 'pop' sound. It was a painless, funny and quick death. The creature's body flew into the square.
"Il Han Airlines wishes you a pleasant flight." Il Han was already having fun.
[You have gained 800 Experience.]
[You have become level 3. +2 Health, +2 Magic, +3 Strength, +3 Agility]
[You have awakened Close Quarters Combat lv Max. You can evolve it to the next level skill. If you have the skill evolution materials.]
[You have earned the record of Lv13 Big Mantis.]
The writings appeared and disappeared momentarily in his eyes. At the same time, a great power suddenly filled his whole body.
This was level, the system of strength that the creatures in the worlds that have come in contact with the Akashic Records have acquired.
It was the act of stealing the opponent's records and even potential by stealing life.
He felt his muscles gaining strength. The millet-sized lump of mana that was emitting a faint light inside his heart was very slightly increasing its size.
It was really a fascinating, wonderful experience. And all these other people had been feeling it for ten years? He could have died of jealousy.
'But from now on, I'm no different.'
Yu Il Han was smiling as he landed on the ground. This feeling of leveling up was really addictive. It's very different from the feeling of hunting an animal and dismembering it. It was more brutal, heavy and breathtaking.
The new knowledge and impulses that Yu Il Han loved so much were taking him to greater heights. Erta spoke indifferently.
[Did you open your eyes to the pleasure of violence?]
"Yes. Angel, I crave violence. Please guide me to the right path."
The square full of insect monsters fell silent again. None of them expected their comrade to die so easily.
But this was short-lived. The monsters turned their gaze to the door where the body of the Giant Mantis had flown. But for a moment nothing could be seen there. Then a human came out from inside. Il Han had lifted his concealment for the time being. And the monsters who saw him shouted and tried to show their hostility towards him.
[Kih!]
[Kiik kik!]
[Kuiiiiik!]
Perhaps because their comrade was strong, the monsters attacking the other buildings also noticed Yu Il Han and turned on him, showing their hostility. There were more than forty of them. Il Han took the swords from his back and attached the chains to his arms.
Looking at these many monsters, Yu Il Han spoke in a calm voice. "Now that I think about it. I didn't learn how to fight with groups."
[Just cover it with your body! They can't kill you with their ability anyway!]
At Erta's words, Yu Il Han leapt forward. As if waiting for this moment, the insect monsters also started to move.
[Kuiiiiii!]
The first monster to come towards him was a pillbug, rolling itself along the ground. Just above it, flying towards him, was another one that looked like a fly, flapping its wings in a disturbing way.
Yu Il Han first threw the blade in his right hand at the fly. And with the blade in his left hand he sliced the pillbug into half.
There was a sound like a watermelon being cut and the pillbug was cut into two pieces. When he had headshot the fly and killed it, he grabbed the chain of the blade and pulled it towards him.
[You have awakened Swordsmanship Lv Max. You can evolve it to the next level skill. If you have the skill evolution materials.]
[You have gained 700 experience.]
[You have earned the record of Lv11 Big Fly.]
[You have gained 850 experience.]
[You have earned the record of Lv14 Big Pillbug.]
[You have become level 4. +2 Strength, +1 Agility, +1 Health, +1 Magic increases]
"I think I need to pick up the pace a little bit." Il Han muttered when he saw all the monsters coming at him.
[Above!]
They were giant mosquitoes that looked like the fly's companions. And three of them were coming at him! When Yu Il Han saw them coming at him fast, he grabbed the blade by the chain and started spinning it in the air. And when the three mosquitoes were within his striking range, he sliced them in half. He really hated mosquitoes. They reminded him of countless nights of disturbed sleep.
"The Heli strike!!" and he named his move.
[You have gained 400 experience.]
[You have earned the record of Lv7 Big Mosquito.]
[You have gained 300 experience.]
[You have gained 350 experience.]
[Kuiiiii!] The last mosquito screeched as it died. He grabbed it by the mouth and threw it at the honeybee that was coming towards him.
The mosquito stabbed the honey bee, the bee's stinger stabbed the mosquito, and the bee died, perhaps because even if it evolved, it was still a honey bee. It was really a brave death.
[You have gained 850 experience.]
[You have earned the record of Lv10 Big Honeybee.]
[You have become level 5.+2 Strength, +1 Agility, +1 Health, +1 Magic increases]
[To think that they could kill each other like that, it seemed like the bee wasn't fully monsterized. But then, what does it mean at these high levels? Hmm...]
"Fuu, leveling up is really addictive."
When he turned his gaze while ignoring Erta's mutterings, coincidentally there was a mantis that looked exactly the same as the mantis he killed first, but just 1.5 times bigger, in front of him. Immediately after he recognized that mantis, its scythes which shone dangerously, swooshed at him with no breaks.
"Heh!"
Crouching, Il Han dodged its scythe and threw his blade backwards at the fly that was coming at him from the other direction. And as he pulled his blade out of his chain, he jumped backwards and opened a little distance between himself and the mantis.
[You have gained 380 experience.]
[There are monster reinforcements!] (Erta)
[Kuiii!]
[Kuooooooooon!]
Just where did they hide before coming out? Flies, mosquitoes, mantises, pillbugs, centipedes and even cockroaches! He moved very quickly. He disappeared from the monsters' sight.
"Hehe!"
[Kuik!]
Holding his two blades in both hands, he began to slice and dice the monsters. He quickly beheaded them one by one.
The insects that came like a swarm of bees fell powerlessly like mosquitoes in front of mosquito-repellent incense.
[You have gained 700 experience.]
[You have gained 550 experience.]
[You have gained 950 experience.]
[You have become level 6. +1 Strength, +2 Agility, +1 Health, +1 Magic increases]
He was so fast that the blood splattered from the insects didn't get on any part of him. Right now, this swarm of insects were small creatures that helped Yu Il Han level up!
Yu Il Han, who rampaged like a crazy storm in the middle of the monsters, was already in a state of half selflessness. And when some time passed, something flashed in front of his eyes.
"Mm?" 'Looks like The Empress has arrived on the stage.'
The honeybee that was about to sting him did not even scream as he fell to the ground. When Yu Il Han raised his head, he met his eyes with a woman who held her hand out towards him, no, to be exact, to the honeybee which collapsed over the countless insect corpses.
She was wearing a cheap Hulk mask. It looked like she picked it up in a hurry at the stationery store.
Erta pulled him by the hair and hurried him to hunt the monsters. Yu Il Han agreed with her and began to clean up the monsters. The woman wearing a hulk mask unceasingly attacked the monsters, shooting balls of lightning from her hands.
[That's an unbelievable amount of mana quantity. How can she grow that much in just one day...]
"Isn't she leveling up as fast as I am?"
[Oh, it may be like that... How did you know that mana recovers when you level up?]
"Because my stamina is recovering every time I level up!"
When Hulk mask joined the fray, the situation settled down soon. There weren't many monsters in the first place, and her attacks also had the power to kill monsters in one strike.
But perhaps the military already knew that monsters invaded the school as not long later, several tens of soldiers on 2.5-ton trucks came. However, the scene they saw wasn't one where a square was full of monsters. And a man with a white wolf mask kicked the last centipede in half.
"I'm sorry. The fucking truck couldn't climb the hill.. Whoa!?" A soldier exclaimed.
[You have gained 1,250 experience.]
[You have become level 9. +2 Strength, +1 Health, +1 Agility, +1 Magic increases]
While splendidly ignoring the soldiers, Yu Il Han muttered as he was flipping the centipede's corpse. Since there were no other creatures left alive, Il Han began to dismember the creatures he had killed with his scythe which he took from Big mantis.
"Do these things have big monster cores or mana cores or something like that?"
[If you mean a magic stone, there is one.]
"Oh, there really is one?"
[Didn't you say you learnt disassembly? For insect monsters, you have to take out the hardest part of the carapace, which became like that due to mana, and the magic stone. I will tell you the parts so do it now.]
"Okay, give me a second."
The soldiers who were coming to the square stopped while being frightened after they looked at that scene.
"Who is that guy? What level is he?"
"How did he acquire that much strength in just one day?"
"That was a dropkick!"
Whatever the others said, Yu Il Han started the first monster disassembly of his life. He couldn't eat the meat so he threw them away, and as Erta said, he took away the hardest part of the carapace and the magic stone.
The scythe of the Big Mantis was very sharp, so when it was in the hands of Yu Il Han, a disassembly meister, it sliced apart the monsters' corpses as it became a peerless sword.
[You have awakened Disassembly Lv Max]
The soldiers and even the Hulk masked woman could only stare at his lively movements dumbfoundedly. When they confirmed that all the monsters had died, the people hiding inside the buildings also started crawling out but they also couldn't approach Yu Il Han.
"Is this it?"
While cutting apart the centipede, a small blue stone rolled out. When he picked it up and asked if this was it, Erta nodded.
[It's a magic stone. The crystallization of mana. It's high-efficiency energy and at the same time, the origin of every artifact.]
After Yu Il Han wiped it on the grass on the floor and put it in his pocket, he changed his target. Of course, as he was a man with manners, he didn't touch the monsters killed by the Hulk masked woman. The corpses killed by her had unique traces of a burn so it was easy to identify.
It was not that every monster had a magic stone, and not every one of them had hard carapaces so there were fewer spoils of war than he thought. There were 8 magic stones the size of a millet, 3 rice grain-sized ones, 1 soy bean-sized one, and a few carapaces the size of his hand.
"Phew... Whoa."
Yu Il Han looked up, like a farmer who had just finished working in the field. But for some reason the woman in the Hulk mask was looking at him. She hadn't moved anywhere, she was back where she first came from.
The people who came to the square, and the soldiers who arrived too late, gulped when they saw how these two individuals had dealt with the monsters.
It was the meeting of two of the most powerful individuals in Seoul. No, the most powerful people in the whole of Korea and maybe even the whole world?? What a historic moment!?
"Jessica, do you want something from me?" Il Han asked. Referring to the Hulk mask.
The woman in the Hulk mask was momentarily surprised to hear this call. She touched the mask on her face and knew immediately why he had called her that. And her voice was unexpectedly calm and cool as she answered Il Han.
"Mr. Gerald, can you dismember the monsters I kill?"
"Wow!" Yu Il Han didn't expect this girl to reciprocate him with a Witcher reference. She seems to be a cultured lady. But he immediately regained his composure and thought for a short while before replying.
"How much will you give me?" he said smiling and rubbing his hands together. 'Loot goblin mod on'
It was the first meeting of the dropout and the Empress.
