Chapter 23 – 23. Battle End

“Shut up…”

An inverted pentagram was drawn on the palms of both hands.

A crooked inverted pentagram that looks like it was forcibly engraved with a knife.

With this, the annoyance of drawing a pentagram with your fingers when summoning tentacles is now gone.

“Whoa…”

Still, it was less painful than the pain I felt when I was branded as Manma.

Thanks to her, she was able to come to her senses quickly.

“Brother… That just… Is okay, right?”

“Uh. Are you okay. I’m sorry to keep worrying you. By the way, Eunji, there is no scar on my forehead, right?”

I asked if anyone could see the stigma on their foreheads. Anyone with a strange stigma would be embarrassed. She wants to fool her opponent or put on a good look, but a branded forehead doesn’t seem to help much. She hopes that she has no traces…

“Uh… Nothing…”

Fortunately, it was not a visible kind of physical stigma.

Maybe it’s engraved in my soul. I’m afraid it’s a mark on the soul…

More than that, Eunji’s eyes looking at me are so intense… There is a lot of affection.

“Master, are you really okay?”

Harin came closer to me as if he was worried. He must have been worried that something had happened to my screams. However, Harin’s eyes also became more intense. Strong desire? Lust? I feel something… Why are you both like this? Have I really gotten a little weird?

“Are you okay. You don’t have to worry too much.”

I’m really fine… No problem.

I certainly felt a strange and unpleasant sensation that God entered my head immediately after the human sacrifice, but that did not deprive me of my body or make me mentally abnormal.

She’s a Kashinax or something, that evil spirit, she just paid me as much as she was being served. I didn’t sense any intention to harm me directly or to harass me to satisfy my sadistic needs.

Rather, it felt kind. Why? It was obviously painful. It seems that God’s hand caressing my soul was kind.

Oops… Is this something like Stockholm Syndrome? Since his body and soul were mortgaged by Carshinax, his brain might be forcibly beautifying it with good memories.

‘I bet it’s not like this every time you perform a human sacrifice…’

I do not know. Wouldn’t it be better to kill more and offer it to God?

‘I’d rather not pay attention.’

To be honest, I don’t think anything good will come of it if I get too much attention from a god who ravenously devours human souls.

“No, but brother…”

“Huh?”

“Something a little too… Well-made, right? Hmm… I can definitely feel it when I look closely.”

“Uh? Suddenly?”

Eunji touched my face with her hand as if checking something.

But what do you mean by being handsome all of a sudden?

Eunji is said to be a horror movie fanatic, so does she feel sexy when she is covered in blood… That sounds like a rather risky taste.

Having to use blood to excite Eunji… It might be a bit difficult…

“Um… Harin-ah.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Do you think so too?”

“Certainly… The face shape is the same… But it seems that the features have become a bit more distinct… The atmosphere has definitely… Changed. Contrary to first impression… Attractive…”

Now even Harin clung to me and touched my face.

What is it? Why are you doing this… Is it because of the Manma stigma… I don’t think it’s because of that…

Could it be that… Is this because of high mana? The effect of the mana that exceeded 200… Might be revealed in this way. Maybe his charm or charisma has increased… Not bad. Let’s pretend we don’t know and enjoy this situation.

“Hmm… Oppa.”

“Uh? What’s wrong with both of you?”

“No, brother. I like you.”

“I like it too.”

“Haha. So do i.”

After a sudden confession, they both came to me.

It would be embarrassing because it was covered in blood, but he didn’t seem to care.

Well, we’re not all talking right now. I want to take a quick shower. Of course, I have to deal with all the zombies that will still remain inside the mart.

“Is this all the people who survived him?”

Fortunately, all nine Awoken survived. However, most of the non-Awakened are dead.

Of the 33 non-Awakened, only three survived, so it’s safe to say they were wiped out.

‘It’s a woman who is trembling with two bullies whose names she doesn’t even know…’

In a way, wouldn’t it be great that three of them actually survived?

These three might not have been former special forces members, but they managed to survive the melee.

Apparently, the two of them stood back to back and resisted the zombies, and the woman seemed to have survived by clinging to Hwang Soo-min, the Awakener, after running away like crazy.

“What are your names?”

Anyway, I’ve survived until now, so I’ll have to ask for your name.

“I am Gu Ji-hwan, older brother..”

“I am Dokyung Kim.”

“I-I… I’m Ganghwa-young…”

The faces of the three surviving non-Awakened did not look very happy. They are very gloomy and bitter expressions.

That’s understandable, since all the people I’ve known have died. In addition, he would have been so helpless in front of special zombies, so he deserved to be more depressed.

In particular, Ganghwa-young was trembling with anxiety as if she had PTSD, looking around her body. She’s about to pee.

‘Which of these three guys will I make a player?’

I’m trying to make one of the three surviving players, that is, the Awoken. Using the account creation card sold by the peddler, non-Awakened people could be made into Awakened people.

‘The only thing that has survived so far is melting. These three are already full of qualifications to be players.’

It’s just a pity that only one of the three can be made into a player.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to meet the peddler again, and there’s no law to sell the account creation card again when I meet again. Perhaps the two who were not chosen may die fighting as non-awakened until the end.

‘Well, it’s not something I should be too concerned about.’

They should blame their fate for not becoming an Awakener.

“Hey, Hwayoung. Listen up.”

“Eh.. Yes.”

“Hmm.”

It just happened. It’s not even that if you say you have a bad body. He’s shy and looks very haggard, probably because he ran away from the zombies just a while ago. If you ask me if I can feel the beauty of decadence… I can answer that it is just an exhausted look.

‘I can’t do it. Even if I make her into an Awoken person, if it’s in this condition… Even though it’s still useful to make a woman into an Awakener.’

These two bullies would fight to some extent even if they didn’t make them Awoken.

Ganghwa-yeong, an ordinary woman, is difficult to use unless she is made into an awakened person. Because of her stats, she needs help so she can develop the power equivalent to that of an adult male.

In the current situation, where can a non-awakened woman be used? It is useless in the yard where it is impossible to have other male slaves deal with their sexual desires because they have too many eyes to see. It would be more useful to make it an Awakener.

‘I’m sorry for those two, but I need to make Ganghwa-young an Awakener.’

“I’ll buy this.”

“A good choice.”

On the spot, I bought her account creation card from the peddler and handed it to Ganghwa-young.

“Take this.”

“I-what is this…?”

“If you use this, you too can become an Awakener.”

“Wow. Envy you…”

“Tongue, brother… I can fight well…!”

Gu Ji-hwan swallowed and glared at the card. It is a gaze filled with intense desire. My mouth is salivating.

Kim Do-kyung looked at me pitifully and she rolled her feet as if to appeal to her that she could fight better.

“I’ll give it to you next time.”

“Ah, I see!”

“I will do my best!”

Even the words did it.

Honestly, by the time I get an account creation card next time, I wonder if they’ll both be dead.

“By the way. Would you like to get down on one knee?”

“Yes?”

“Quickly kneel!”

“Hick.. Yes..!”

Ganghwa-young quickly brought her to her knees. She has already given in to me a long time ago. She only needs to stamp Jijang on her forehead.

She naturally drew blood on her finger and brought it to Ganghwa-young’s forehead. I’ll make a slave first and have her draw a card.

Chee Hee!

“You are now my slave. No self harm. No betrayal. Do not harm the team. Keep in mind and keep in mind.”

“Yes…”

Since you have a lot of mana, you don’t have any hesitation in making slaves.

After making her a slave, Ganghwa-yeong was able to use the card.

“Me, over there. Then I will use it…”

“Okay.”

I’m going to pick up the hidden class..!

Ganghwa-young tore off the tinfoil containing her card.

Flash!

With a bright light, a card was held in her hand.

“What. What came out?”

“Uh… Carnage Vamp…?”

“What? What is carnage? What class did you choose…?”

My lucky 666 did another one!

The name of this is not unusual.

Carnage Vamprani.

What carnage vampires do you mean?

“Mo, I don’t know… Uh…?”

Quickly…!

The moment the card disappeared from her fingers, Ganghwa-yeong screamed with the sound of her bones twisting.

“Keep it off!!!!”

She struggled violently, feeling unbearable pain, and fell to her floor.

“What, what!!”

“Aww!!! Shut up!!”

“Hey! Stop!”

No matter how painful it is, in the end you are a slave, so you must obey my orders unconditionally… You should…

“Kuuuuu!!!”

As a slave, she tried to resist my commands!

“What the fuck…! Stop! Stop! You motherfucker!!!”

“Kreukreukreuk…!!!”

After giving the same command several more times, she finally stopped the seizure.

“Quaaah…”

But something… Has changed…

It’s not just the atmosphere or appearance that has changed…

‘I think the race itself has changed…?’

Hwayoung’s skin turned pale, like that of a dead person. Moreover, her canine teeth have become very long, and the tips of her ears have become pointed. And above all, her hair turned white and her eyes were red as if they had been soaked in her blood.

‘Huh… Retired, decadent beauty… It’s crazy… Is this a vampire…’

Gulp…

Her face became so pretty that her mouth watered. Her original face remains vaguely, but it seems that she has undergone plastic surgery.

Wouldn’t it be nice to say that her looks are almost on the same level as Eunji? Maybe… Maybe more than that.

“Haha…”

“Hey… Are you okay?”

“Yeah… Ha… Ha… Ee, it’s okay now…”

This looks like a hidden class. I’m still at level 0, so I don’t know what class it is.

You can kill a zombie later and see.

Then, from the name of this ‘Carnage Vamp’, you will know what this bloody class does.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t matter what you become an Awakener. Congratulations! Please work hard in the future.”

He patted Hwayoung on the shoulder, who was sitting blankly on the floor and holding her hand.

“Huh… Go, thank you.”

Something seems strange about the spirit… He looks a bit tired right now, so let’s look into it later.

“Kuh…”

It felt like Hwayoung was trying hard to put up with something. Thanks to her, no one came close to her.

“Oh, oppa… That guy… Is he okay?”

“Uh… It will. Maybe.”

“Your eyes are a bit… Scary…”

“Let’s leave it alone for now.”

“Yes, Master.”

You probably don’t want to eat blood, do you?

‘Honestly, if he looks like that… Wouldn’t it be okay to let him suck some blood… I guess I’ll have to add him to the harem given his condition.’

You can’t miss the chance to legally eat a vampire.

Ganghwa-young must catch the day unconditionally and taste it at least once.

But for now, it seems like he’s adjusting to his new body, so let’s just leave it alone.

“Okay, let’s get some rest now!”

“Yes. You worked hard!”

Ha Jin-seong replied most vigorously.

He is more amused than anyone by the fact that he survived with his brother.

‘It’s getting quieter in the morning…’

There were no more zombies on the roof.

I don’t know how long it will remain inside the mart building, but I think I can rest for a bit right now.

“Haa.. I’m tired… Oppa, I’ll take a break…”

“Me too… Master, I’m sorry, but I’ll lie down for a bit.”

“Hehe. Okay. Come on, rest. Both worked really hard today.”

I wanted to kiss her on the cheek, but I held back because I thought it would taste like blood.

“Hehe.. Oppa was really cool. The best!”

“Master is the best.. I trust only that master…!”

After that, Eunji and Harin lay down on the bloody floor. It was so hard that I couldn’t stand it.

Well, it must be hard to sit still after fighting like that against special zombies. Both of them had a hard time defeating the War Boys.

It’s because they were the ones who grabbed and beat me so that I could kill them even if I hit them. Physical labor must have been extreme.

‘Ha… I’m so damn tired.’

I want to lie down between them too, but I can’t because I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep and won’t wake up if I lie down. There is still much work left to do. You have to take a skill, and you have to choose as many as 6 achievement rewards.

“Can I wait a bit?”

“Okay. I will.”

It was hard to sit still, so I leaned against the peddler’s bag.

I didn’t care much about the peddler whether I leaned against the bag or not.

It seemed that he did not want to interact with anything other than buying things.

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m an NPC or because I haven’t built a friendship yet.

“I am, Mr. Joon. Have some water here.”

As I slumped down in my seat, Sumin Hwang quickly brought a bag containing bottled water and a chocolate bar.

Bags with chocolate bars and bottled water were placed all over the rooftop. It was placed the day before, actively reflecting the opinion that if the battle is prolonged, fight while eating.

The lady who actually gave her opinion died in the beginning.

“Oh thank you.”

“Haha…”

Hwang Soo-min’s hand trembled a little as he handed over the bottled water and chocolate bar.

There was also an awkward smile on his face. Your cheeks are a bit red too… Are you cold?

It seems that he is curiously looking at my face, perhaps because he did not make a big contribution in this battle.

‘I don’t have to pay attention that much.’

He knew that Hwang Soo-min would not be of much help in this battle anyway. Because mage is a long-lived job. If he grows up a little more, his skills increase, and his mana increases, he will show his true character.

“Hey, how did Lee Eun-hye get hurt?”

“That’s… Trying to save me…”

“Okay? Hmm. Okay. Go see.”

“Yes..!”

Hwang Soo-min bowed his head and quickly went to Brother Ha. He apparently remembers being raped by Ha Jin-sung. Now, I am dealing with him without any change in expression.

Is it because I ordered them not to do anything that would harm the team?

“Eat everyone here.”

Hwang Soo-min passed bottled water and chocolate bars to the rest. Then, she returned to Lee Eun-hye, who was trembling in her seat.

For reference, I did not approach Kang Ha-young. The atmosphere it exudes is so bloody that no one approaches.

“Suck… Uh, sister…”

“It’s grace…”

Similar to Hwang Soo-min, Lee Eun-hye did not have a special major.

She has her left arm scratched by zombies’ fingernails. Maybe that’s why her complexion was pale and she didn’t look very good.

She wouldn’t turn into a zombie unless she was bitten directly by them, but she probably got poison from scratching her fingernails.

If left alone, her wounds might necrotic or fester and lose the use of her arms. She obviously knows how to fix it, but it doesn’t seem like it’s a good idea to leave it alone.

Throwing away one Archer like this is a huge waste of human resources. Let’s start with treatment.

“Hey, Eunhye Lee. Come here.”

“Yes?”

“Come and see.”

“Uh.. Yes.”

Lee Eun-hye, who was right next to Hwang Soo-min, trembled at my call and she stood up. Hwang Soo-min of hers picked her up quickly and brought her in front of her.

“Sit here.”

“Yes…”

It is a face that has resigned itself to something. You don’t think I’ll kill you, do you?

“Let me see your arm.”

“Pa, arm?”

“Okay. Sumin, help me walk a little.”

“Yes. Wait a minute.”

The wounds were quite serious.

The dug-in wounds, probably from being picked on by her fingernails, were unsightly. The ooze is also flowing.

“I’m going to treat the wound on my arm from now on. Hold on to this It hurts a lot.”

“Can you heal my wounds too?”

Hwang Soo-min looked at me with an amazing look. I did pick some great classes though.

“Uh. However. It really hurts a lot. So Eun-hye, at least put a gag on it.”

“Yes…!”

Seizing her will at the word that she could be healed, Lee Eun-hye rolled up the torn underwear and bit it hard.

Hwang Soo-min held Lee Eun-hye’s right hand tightly and closed her eyes as if praying.

“Whoa.”

From now on, I will use her skill ‘Flesh Filling’ on Eunhye Lee.

It was a skill that I had no use for other than making a slave and stopping the bleeding from her finger wound. I’ll make it all worth it today.

“Shud-Sera-Arkham”

As Lee Eun-hye put her hand over her wound and cast her spell, purple light radiated from her hand and seeped into her wound.

“Turn it off!!!! Turn it off!!!”

Lee Eun-hye struggled in her pain.

“Hold on! It’s a healing process! You can’t leave your scars like this! Be patient!”

Hehe…”

Lee Eun-hye endured her pain through her tears. Her right hand holding Hwang Soo-min’s hand is shaking. The wound is quite long and deep, so it must hurt a lot. Still, wouldn’t it be better than having her arm crippled?

“Okay, it’s done.”

“Whoa… Ha… Ha…”

“Grace! Gee, really… Her arm is all healed…”

“Whoa… More, more dirty… It hurts… Thank you…”

Somehow, Lee Eun-hye’s complexion seems to have gotten worse, but her wounds have healed.

“Injured person. Everyone tell me.”

“Uh… Over there bro. Could you also look at her ankle fracture?”

Ha Jin-woo quickly raised his hand.

“Uh… Well. I don’t know if this cures fractures. Let’s do it.”

Although the name of the skill is a fleshy point. Since you said that trauma heals quickly, will fractures heal too?

Since we still have mana left, let’s try it.

“Shud-Sera-Arkham”

Purple light emanated from her hand again.

“Turn it off… This… It hurts so…”

It didn’t have as dramatic an effect as the cut treatment, but it still looked better than before. As the effect is not dramatic, it feels less painful.

“Phew. It’s okay.”

“Thank you!”

“Hey, brother! Me too!”

Kim Min-jun and Kim Il-woo also came.

From then on, I spent time treating sick guys here and there.

Ah… I need to take a skill…
