Chapter 377 – A Night at Buckingham Palace (1)

Buckingham Palace.
When I came, I was busy and couldn’t see it properly, but when I looked around slowly, it was quite a beautiful place.
On the way back, trees line both sides, and beyond that, a green grassy park spreads out wide.
And there are a few buildings that definitely have a British atmosphere, and there is a large park next to the palace, so it’s a place where you want to lay down a mat and order chicken to eat on the weekend.

“Excuse me… Are you really taking us to a safe place..?”
“Because it is.”
“… “
“Why? Are you offended by speaking half-heartedly?”
“No, what… Because you didn’t at first… But how old are you…”
“Twenty-eight this year.”
“… I am thirty by myself.”
“So? If you twist me, you talk half-heartedly.”
“Shit… Then I’ll make it a bit easier for you.”
“Do whatever you feel like. But why am I walking in a place like this with you? No, why are you following me?”

I am taking a walk around Buckingham Palace, and the person next to me is Son Hong-man.
I am also a person who liked to play football and enjoyed soccer while laughing and angry at the World Cup.

“That’s because you can’t just leave.”
“If you don’t go, you’ll eat Mary later? Don’t you like him?”
“I have a girlfriend. Hajin-ssi saved me earlier, so I’m safe.”
“Oh yeah? I knew you liked it because I always stuck by your side.”
“That’s right, because Mary is our captain. Everyone owes their lives to Mary. More precisely, they are the ones who owed their lives to Mary.”
“Brother Mary? Where are you?”
“He is dead.”
“What? Why?”

It wasn’t such an odd story.
It was a story that could have happened in a world like this.
To briefly explain the situation, he went to the airport to catch a flight to Australia in the early days, and boarded the plane almost in the last order.
However, although she is not the queen, she said that people from the British royal family, aristocratic families, and high-ranking people arrived late, and she kicked out all the people who boarded the last one to pick them up.
About half of the people here now, including Mary and Son Hong-man, were kicked out at that time, and thanks to Mary’s older brother, they returned to the city center and survived with dozens to hundreds of times more people than they do now.
And then they die, die, die, and what’s left is the people who are now.

“But it’s surprising. Even if the UK has a royal family, nobility, and families, even if they are arguing about these things, they have kicked out famous actors and famous sports stars? Later, when the world gets better, you’ll be treated like a dog.”
“Actually, me and the captain were exceptions. Like Ha-jin said, they should have thought about the future. But the Captain had to get off because her brother and sister were kicked out, and her ex-girlfriend was kicked out.”
“Oh, but you are loyal. Tolerable people would have just ridden it with words. Especially if it’s a girlfriend, they’re not even real family.”
“… “

At my words, Son Hong-man touched the ring on his hand and smiled without any regret.
It must be a smile about having a very satisfying sleep thanks to being loyal to your girlfriend, eating a lot of other women without regret, or protecting something precious that you really want to protect.
If it is because of the last reason, Son Hong-man must be a better person than I thought.

“Ah! But what will you do if you meet them again?”
“They?”
“People who took your place.”
“… “

Unlike the happy-looking smile he had a moment ago, his expression hardens.
You don’t have to listen to the answer.
And whatever choice you make, the choice is up to these people.
But what if these people go to Melbourne and commit murder?
Will an old friend cover it?

“Shit… What kind of power can that inspiration have?”
“Yes?”
“No.”
-Thorn, we’ve got information about the orb.

I went back to Buckingham Palace with Son Hong-man on the radio that just came through.
The reason why I went for walks like this was because I was killing time because I thought she would be annoyed if I called while I was having a good time with Mary.

“Is this it?”
“Yes.”

The downside of the interpreter is that the text is not translated.
So, when I received the paper translated by Son Hong-man into Korean, I… Phew… The guy called Phew Whatssi starts to check the information of the marbles he knows one by one…

Wow!!

“Hey, you bastard!!!”

Puck!!!

I couldn’t stand it for a moment, and the fist that swung my head exploded.
Even though I had my tongue pulled out and was bleeding profusely, there were people with healing properties here too, so I managed to keep them alive, but if it was just this kind of information, I would have left it alone.

“Aw, fuck! Time wasted!”
“… “
“… “
“Why?”
“Oh, no…”
“No… Nothing…”

The two unknown men turned their heads away from me as I brushed off my bloody hands, and an unexpected message appeared in front of me.
I honestly never thought I’d get anything out of killing this bastard.

[The power of blood absorbs power.]
[The power of blood becomes stronger.]

This is basically what I get, so it’s not something I expected.
But this is unexpected.

[The power of blood (SSS) is involved in the power of the attribute.]
[By the power of blood, the tyrant (SSS) and the mad superman (SSS) are forcibly assimilated.]
[Acquire the trait Bloody Tyrant (SSS).]

Oh~ Following the death, one more blood series has been added.
But wait, if you’re a superman of madness, isn’t that a trait that has grown like the Hulk?
Damn, could it be that I’m becoming such a monster?
It’s good to be strong, but I don’t want to turn into a monster like that!

『Blood Tyrant (SSS) – Strength +600%, Speed ​​+600%. When used, consumes all stats to maximize physical abilities.』

I recalled the existing trait information I knew and compared it to the newly acquired trait.
Strength and speed increased by 150% each, and the ability to maximize physical abilities remains the same.
However, it has been changed to explain that it consumes all stats instead of stamina when used.

“Fuck, are you going to use this? Are you telling me not to?”

Right now, even though I have a lot of coins, they are too many.
Some I had, some I earned while wandering around, and some I earned when I arrived in Melbourne.
Moreover, since I stole all the coins of the people here, I could fill all three marbles with a little more effort.
But every time you use an attribute, all stats drop?
Even if it’s me, it’s bound to be burdensome.
Because it takes 46750 coins to raise a stat from 99 to 100.
It only raises 1 stat.
So, if you have to replenish them 4 at a time, 187,000 coins will come out one after another.
If so, when do you collect coins?
Well, I probably won’t have much use for this, but… No, but this is not too much!

“Excuse me… But is this true…?”

Son Hong-man’s voice is heard while he is expressing his dissatisfaction with the newly changed characteristics in his heart.
Oh, there are only three facts written on this piece of paper.

First, you can put coins into marbles.
Second, monsters do not approach around the marbles.
Third, if you destroy the marbles, you can get strong power.

It was all the information I knew, and it was all true.
Although it wasn’t written that destroying the orb would turn you into a monster instead of obtaining great power.

“All right. Don’t even think about breaking this. The moment you wake up, you become a monster.”
“… “
“You don’t think so? Then break it once. Ruler.”
“Oh, no… It’s okay…”

When I held out the bead, Son Hong-man waved his hand and stepped back.
However, a question I hadn’t thought of before came out of Son Hong-man’s mouth.

“How did Hugh Butler know this? We were the first to discover this marble…”
“… “

That’s right.
How did this kid know this?
There are no other marbles here, and although he changed like the Hulk, it wasn’t strong enough to break the marbles…
Ah, Mr… I should have asked before killing him, but it was a mistake that made me angry at the moment because only useless information was written.

“Well, how did that have anything to do with me?”

***

The inside of Buckingham Palace was much better maintained than I thought.
Because Hugh Butler, who occupied this place, had higher pride as an Englishman than he thought, he was managing it to be as intact as possible.
And thanks to that, many dresses, made in the most beautiful form for display, were also preserved undamaged.
Among them, a yellow dress with one shoulder exposed that would have been worn by a princess rather than a queen.
The dress, which exudes elegance and dignity but exudes a bright and fresh feeling, was worn on Mary Richolson’s body, not on a mannequin, and was busily wandering around the inside of Buckingham Palace.

“Ha..! Ha..! Ha..! Crazy guy..!!”

Mary Richolson hides in a corner breathing heavily, rather than actually struggling.
It would have been a little less scary if the beautiful lights were illuminating the inside of the palace, but the inside of the palace, which was turned off at night, created an atmosphere like a set in a horror movie.

Jerk-jerk-jerk-

Mary Recolson’s hand, lifted with the sound of her footsteps, closed her nose and mouth so that not even the sound of breathing could come out.

‘What, what…! How did you get here already?! No way… You impostor..!!

Mary Rickolson recalls Hajin’s face and calls her a con artist.
The reason she ran around Buckingham Palace in her dress while thinking this was because Ha-jin made a suggestion.

“Is it here? No I hid really well~ If I do well, I’ll just get over it~”
“… “

Mary Rickolson swallows dryly at the sound of Hajin’s voice coming from the next room.
The reason Mary Recolson hides from her Hajin this late at night is because she promised Hajin that she won’t lay a hand on her until the morning sun rises unless she is caught.
And in the process, she promised that she would not use Ha-jin’s blessed powers or her senses to detect other people’s auras.
So, this late night she was playing her hide and seek with Ha Jin.

Swoop-

A flashlight flashes through the room.
And Mary Recolson’s eyes widened as the light swept over the table right above her head, but Ha-jin just looked around her room and then turned her around and moved away.

“Haaa… “

It was only then that Mary Recolson, who had been holding back her breath, burst out low, and after confirming that the sound of her footsteps was getting farther away, she relaxed and sat down on her floor.
And the reason why Mary Recolson relies on her hearing to locate her Ha-Jin is because Ha-Jin completely erased her own aura, saying that her game should be fair.
As the authority of her blood grew stronger, it was now possible to completely erase her aura.

“Aren’t you cheating on me? No! That guy could just be making fun of me!”

Mary Recolson, still unresolved of her doubts about her identity, raised her body once.
It’s a place Ha-jin checked once and went to, so she just needs to stay at this spot, but it’s a place she hides in a hurry, so if she pays a little attention, she’ll be able to find it right away.
Mary Recolson, who carefully slipped out of her room with the shoes Hajin had told her to wear in both hands, looked around her even though she knew that Hajin wasn’t there because the sound of her footsteps had gotten farther away. He looked around and cautiously moved her steps.

Swish- Swish- Swish-

There was no sound of her footsteps, but the sound of her dress dragging on the floor was so loud in her ears that Mary Recolson took her shoes from both of her hands in one of her hands, and with the other, tried to walk again with her skirt slightly lifted, but…

“… “

At that moment, a shudder ran up her spine, spreading from the nape of her neck to her shoulders and back, then to her neck and head, making her body tremble.
Mary Recholson turned her head, stuttering like a rusty robot, with her eyes wide open.

“… Haaaaa…”

Seeing that there was nothing behind her, Mary Recolson let out a trembling sigh and turned her head back to face her.
But at that moment, a damp feeling felt on her bare left shoulder.

Side-

“… Kyaaaaa!!!!”
“Wow!”

Two screams resounding through her hallway shook Buckingham Palace, and Mary Recolson, the first person she had ever been so surprised in her life, looked at her with an expression full of astonishment that she had never made before. She sat down on the floor.
Of course, Ha-jin, who also screamed with her, took a surprised pose with her arms crossed in front of her chest, slightly shrinking her body.

“Why, why are you screaming?! You were surprised!!”
“Uh, how… I just didn’t have… “
“What? Didn’t you see I saw it, but why can’t you see it?”

At Ha-jin’s words, she recalled her memories from a moment ago, but Mary Recolson had no memory of seeing Ha-jin in her.
But now there are more important issues than that.

“No, the footsteps have gone away, so why are you here?! No, how do you know I’m here?!”
“I’m just following the smell of perfume.”
“Perfume..?”
“Uh, I came back because the smell faded when I went there. But did you just come out of there?”
“I didn’t hear footsteps… Ah! Then what about the flashlight?!”
“I turned it off because it didn’t seem fair.”
“Why turn it off! You idiot!!”

Full of her resentment, Mary Recolson jumped up, rubbing her shoulder where Ha-jin’s lips touched with her palm.
Because she still had something to argue with.

“When the hell did you spray the perfume?!”
“I sprinkled it on my clothes.”
“That is against the rules! That’s not fair!”
“Because if you can’t find it, you can’t.”
“What?!”
“It’s too unfair not to be able to find such a pretty girl.”
“Cow, don’t touch me!!”
“Anyway, I found it, so from now on, I’ll do as I please? If you want to resist, you can resist. I won’t hurt you.”
“Whoever wants… Whoops!!”

Ha Jin, who hadn’t finished speaking yet, touched Mary Recolson’s lips, grabbed her two thin wrists and pushed them against the wall. Paid

“Ha..! Ha..! This garbage…!”
“Good. That expression is so sexy.”
“This pervert… “
“I know.”
“Sooooo!!”

Chow! Chow! Licking-

Hajin’s lips licked and sucked at Mary Recolson’s exposed collarbone and nape.
The deep night between the two has just begun.
