Chapter 822 – Are You Crazy? (3)

Looking at the two people who fell on the ice together with me, I calmly wiped the ice off my knees and stood up.

During that brief moment, I didn’t forget to check the contents of my hunter libido manager system.

『015.

Name: Golden Rose

Awakening Ability: False Pain

…

…

…』

『016.

Name: Geumdallae

Awakening Ability: Fruit of Forgetting

…

…

…』

It’s definitely registered. Both bitches.

I just roughly checked the name and awakening ability in the system and put it away. Anyway, the personal information of these bitches wasn’t really of interest to me.

I just wanted to save this information and track these women based on this, and it didn’t matter whether these women liked me or anything like that.

‘Still, you might be curious about what you don’t like.’

If you find out what you don’t like, you will be tortured later… Rather, it can be used as a reference when punishing.

With that in mind, I calmly handed an apple to the two women who were still lying on the floor.

“I’m sorry, I’m not very familiar with skating yet. Are you both okay?”

“Fuck! Ooh, don’t be ridiculous! Anyone can tell that I fell on purpose!”

“Because it’s not. As an apology, we will help you wake up. Please hold my hand.”

“Take that away! I’m going to grab it again like before… !!”

“So, it’s phantom pain? If you catch it again, you’ll know for sure.”

With those words, I once again grabbed her golden rose hand as she struggled on the ice, and of course this time, her hand was crushed by my grip.

-Wud-duk, wud-duk!

“Ahh! Ahhhhh!!”

“Why are you doing that, Mr. Gold Rose?”

“Let go! “Let go of this, you fucking bastard!!”

“Because you’re falling.”

“Ahh! Fuck!! Shibaaaaal!!!”

It seemed like it was too much to endure twice, and in the end, Gold Rose pulled her arm out of my hand with a harsh curse.

Of course, this time, after experiencing the pain of having her hand crushed before letting her go, I used the recovery magic just before to heal it and then let her go.

-Boom!

“Ahh!!”

Gold Rose lifted her body halfway towards me and then bounced back and hit her butt on the ice. Of course, I couldn’t help but laugh at her insignificant appearance.

“Phew.”

“This, this fucking, fucking bastard…”

“… Sister, I think it would be best to avoid it for now. That guy is something… “Something is strange.”

Fortunately, her younger brother seems to be thinking a little faster and is telling her to leave quickly. It seemed like she didn’t have the confidence to deal with me anymore, not even with her golden rose. She hurriedly got on her feet and struggled to get up.

“You, I won’t leave you alone later! “You fucking bastard!!”

“…”

Apart from her younger brother, who didn’t say a word to me or Sihee until the end, her older sister skated away from me, swearing harshly as if overcome by evil.

Well, it wasn’t that difficult to chase after those women again and forcibly catch them, but there was no need to go that far.

Since it is a foundation ice rink with CCTV installed everywhere, it is better to refrain from actions that appear intentional to anyone.

Although the intentionality of pretending to shake hands, pretend to slip and fall, and pretend to hold one’s hand to help them up could not be confirmed through CCTV, it was clear to anyone that the intention was to chase after the fleeing women and make them fall.

‘The tracking method was buried anyway.’

These women had not been enough to harass Eunbyeol for years and even kidnapped her not long ago.

Of course, it wasn’t going to end today, and both of them were planning to take enough time to condemn it.

Neither of those women will be able to escape from the real-time location tracking system of my hunter ability anyway.

“… “Maybe it was too dangerous.”

Si-hee mutters to me as she watches in silence as sisters Geum Rose and Geum Dal-rae leave the ice rink as if running away from me.

I knew what he meant, but he answered calmly, meaning that there was no need to worry about Sihee.

“Why?”

“Why… Those sisters are the ones who are actually moving Geumhyang right now. What Mr. Seongcheol did was essentially making the company his enemy.”

“They started the dispute first.”

“Well, I’m not saying that Seongcheol’s actions were wrong… But, I’m a little worried…”

Well, both women had annoying awakening abilities. It wasn’t impossible to understand why Sihee was so worried.

“It’s okay. I answered under a pseudonym anyway. Even if they found out that I was Seong Tae-kyung, they wouldn’t be able to do anything outright.”

“… Those women are women who can commit something openly. On the day Nari was kidnapped, there were at least 20 people other than Nari in Do-kyung’s mansion. “I trusted only my ability to awaken and did some really bad things behind my back.”

With those words, Sihee explains to me what those women have done with a slightly anxious expression.

When I visited Geumhyang Shinga the other day, I noticed that the upper floor of the mansion was restricted to the public, but it certainly seemed like he wasn’t doing anything honorable with his awakening ability.

“There are many cases where he kidnapped executives from his business partners and forced them to sign contracts and erased their memories, or erased the memories of colleagues who entered the dungeon with him and did not distribute rewards. Besides that, they are women who harbor many suspicions… Of course, all the evidence was thoroughly destroyed, so everyone just kept quiet and did not want to get directly involved.”

It’s not like other people left the ice rink for no reason. If he had committed such evil acts, the reaction of the foundation hunters from earlier was not that strange.

Well, even so, it didn’t mean much to me, who could temporarily block mental attacks.

“If you’re here to do something, I’m welcome. “We will be able to deal with the troublesome women who threaten Eunbyeol’s safety at once.”

“It’s not that easy of a problem. No matter how strong Seongcheol’s body is, the ability of that woman named Golden Rose is the ability to engrave pain directly on her body…”

“For your information, the part about the woman using phantom pain in the story I told you earlier is not a lie.”

“… Yes?”

“My awakening ability also includes a way to temporarily block mental attacks. With that, I ignored the phantom pain and subdued that woman.”

Sihee’s eyes widen when I tell her that I blocked and overpowered the mental attack. I felt like there was a bit of relief in her eyes.

“… Is it true?”

“Yes. So, even if it comes back, it doesn’t pose much of a threat to me, whether it’s a golden rose or a daisy.”

“Seongcheol has that ability… Oh, by the way, you were able to use the purification ability. “I never thought there would be such a use for sacred magic.”

In fact, it wasn’t blocked with the purification ability, but rather a function that Esilla blocked based on her own judgment, but there was no need to explain the secret friend in my head, so I just left it at that.

“That’s a good thing. “If Seongcheol has the means to suppress mental attacks, I don’t have to worry so much.”

“In fact, there is a possibility that more threats will be posed to Sihee because of me.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. That’s something I had been planning on doing from the very beginning. “As long as I’m properly nervous in the first place, there’s no way I’ll be overpowered by those women.”

… Well, since Sihee uses a bow, her physical ability itself was excellent.

Even though the woman named Geum Jang-mi’s awakening ability is dangerous, her physical ability does not seem to be that great, so Si-hee will probably not be in trouble.

‘I’ve gotten roughly all the information I need, so there’s no need to hesitate to process it now.’

The reason why I held the hand of the golden rose without any hesitation earlier was because I was half thinking that she would not use the illusion barrel, but in fact, she had a bigger reason than that.

If she was really a crazy bitch, and she used her phantom pain on me, there were things she wanted to check by experiencing that phantom pain with her own body.

First, the most important thing is the range of motion of the ability. The fact that Phantom Pain was cast immediately after shaking hands means that physical contact with the opponent is one of the conditions, and this was to check whether it could be activated even while wearing such thick gloves.

And if it was triggered, I wanted to find out roughly what level of pain it would be and how much pain I could endure. I wasn’t particularly worried about Geumdallae’s awakening ability, which doesn’t work on high-ranking abilities, but if I ever had to have a proper confrontation with Golden Rose someday, I needed to find out about the awakening ability she used.

The information obtained as a result is that even if you are wearing gloves, you can use phantom pain just by touching the body. I don’t know what the level of pain is, but if you use Esila’s ability, you can block it for about 10 seconds. There were two things that could be done.

‘There is no need to worry about how to subdue it, the problem comes next.’

How should we deal with those women to resolve Eunbyeol’s situation smoothly? That was my only new interest.
