Chapter 131 – [Raccoon Man Beginning]

The situation has been sorted out. Suppression crews quickly removed the restraints of the VIPs and dismantled the bomb vests.

And before leaving the scene, the queen briefly thanked me.

“Thank you so much, Raccoon Man. I lived thanks to you.”

“What is it, Queen?

“Don’t worry. I don’t intend to criticize the benefactor of the royal family for something like that.”

An elderly woman over 90 years old. However, despite this situation, her vaguely noble aura made it undeniable that she was her queen. I’ve seen people like this often, but mainly in the middle ages. It’s amazing that people like this remain in the modern era.

“It is said that Gawain, who rushed in together, rescued the ordinary people who were caught in the main hall. Perhaps the situation will be over.”

“Ah, that child too… Okay. Then, let’s have a meal together and see each other later.”

“I’m picky about food. Please prepare something delicious.”

Seeing that she walks away with a grin and looks fine even after going through such a situation, it seems that no one can do anything like a queen.

Will a person actually make a seat? Does a seat make a person?

“Turn off, uh…”

“What, are you still alive?”

A faint voice came from somewhere. I asked who was still alive, and it was William Lovett.

I was honestly surprised. I don’t know about other terrorists who have been hit by one or two shots in the vital, but it’s amazing that they’re still alive after being shot almost to the point of being a rag. To be honest, I thought he was dead even when I saw him.

It’s his head, he’s wearing a bulletproof helmet, so even so, three shots hit him, even if only to the heart. If you’re still alive like this, that’s a bit strange…

“Are you going to die with a will?”

“I……”

If you have something to say on the way to the end, I can listen to it. If I didn’t listen to the kids who were foolishly trying to leave a will like this, I’d be curious about it because I’d think about it later.

“Why… Did you… Play… With your horse… Oh… Me?”

“……?”

For an instant, an ominous feeling ran down my back. With my telekinesis, I grabbed the riot crews around me and pulled them away from him.

Intense rap energy overflows. Raff energy that is stronger than any other enemy species I’ve experienced so far!!!

“It’s to… Delay the time!!!”

“You bastard! Doping drugs before that?!”

When we first went in to quell it, the moment he hid behind a VIP, he must have used a doping drug. Other than that, he had no time to use it.

The reason I talked to him was because he was trying to figure out that he was in the palace to kill Gawain, but he was waiting for the effect of the doping drug to appear.

I found something like a broken glass ampoule near the chair where the VIP was restrained.

Even three of them.

“Aaaaa!!”

His body started twisting randomly. It seemed that the human body would not undergo such a drastic change even if it was called a rag and squeezed.

I had an unusual feeling. I shouted at the riot police who pulled them back.

“Hey! You guys run away! This situation is no joke!”

“Well, then support! Night Gawain…”

“There’s nothing wrong with that guy!!!”

The humanoid aptitudes that appeared in the United States were impossible to catch with the skills of Jacob, an American force user.

But this guy is not on that level.

His eyes were staring straight at me even in the twisting and bone-crushing transformation of his body. I couldn’t even make out the pupils, but the red eyes were filled with hatred.

“I hate you”

It was an obvious ‘negative’.

Suddenly, at that moment, a thought crossed my mind. Until now, all the people who became Atlas’ test subjects and mutated into hostile species were subjected to this kind of thing unintentionally.

However, if you take the risk of becoming a monster yourself and embrace the ‘negative’ feelings that match the origin of Raff energy…

“Aaaaa!!!”

A monster is born. No matter how ordinary it is, it is a force field that is spread out at a normal level, but the raff energy that made me withdraw was swirling around. Considering that it couldn’t damage me if it wasn’t conceptual, it was proof that the raff energy that was emitted was just as powerful.

A storm rages around him. And the corpses of the terrorists around the storm floated into the center.

The corpse of the same Force user. And the rap energy in response to his emotions.

“Where did this bastard come from with Phase 2…!!”

A huge amount of condensed Raph energy and Gaia Force fuse together. It’s unstable, but at least it’s a much more advanced form than any other Atlas experiment I’ve ever seen.

Eventually, his body was completed. The crunching of bones stopped and the monster appeared.

The appearance of William Lovett, who became a monster, seemed to have changed the place of bone and flesh from a human being. To put it more simply, humans are usually endoskeletons with bones inside the flesh, but this guy has changed into an exoskeleton like a crab or crayfish.

A pure white appearance like bones. If there was only one other color, it was the red eye light coming from the hole in the eye. At first glance, it looked like an undead skeleton, but it didn’t look like a human skeleton.

It was like a white puppet. A puppet that only has movable joints and everything else is flat.

Tack, Tack!

As he moved little by little, there was a sound of bones colliding. This kid is not serious.

“I’m here to help!”

“No, don’t come!!!”

Then, Will, who ran quickly, appeared.

At that moment, his red eyes lit up. Not like an eye light, but like a real beam.

Kiyiing!!!

The projected beam went straight to Will. He quickly raised his shield to block it, but it was only bounced off by the impact.

But I want to praise you from the bottom of my heart. At least the shield wasn’t pierced.

The beam that penetrated the wall created a violent explosion. It wasn’t that he touched something that could catch fire, but his self-destructive power was that much.

I frowned as I watched the fires and explosions in front of my eyes.

It seems that this is what Yejin saw.

*        *    *

The power that can be exercised purely without loss of power in this world is ‘will’.

In other words, it means that he affects the world according to his thoughts, and since he does not rely on other superpowers and uses his power purely with his will, no loss occurs. That’s why it’s easy to interfere with higher concepts like time and space.

And below that are other powers. Among them, the next most efficient is spiritual power, but next to that is stubborn.

All of these abilities in this world contain spirits, great or small. Common Mana and Naegong, of course, as well as Gaia Force and Raph Energy. As long as it’s not energy generated from pure physical laws, any superpowers include spirits.

A spirit particle is the smallest unit of the soul. It is one of the three dimensional substances that form the basis of the world, and it is condensed or transformed in response to emotions. That’s why this ability moves in response to human emotions and will.

However, even these abilities are not the same and each has its own characteristics. Among them, it was speculated that Raff energy had its origin in ‘denial’.

Normal enemy species just have Raph energy and only have the minimum limit, that is, physical resistance, but it is different from the super-large enemy species and humanoid enemy species that we saw in the United States last time.

Even if it was a super-large enemy species, it was difficult for me to beat it physically, but the humanoid enemy species used Raff energy in earnest to deny gravity and have the ability to fly.

But the guy in front of me now has become a monster beyond that. A monster that seemed to be the target of Atlas, possessing not only Raff energy but also Gaia Force.

“What….?”

“Don’t be fooled and step back!”

I grabbed Will, who was about to be caught in the explosion, and pulled him behind me. I widened the range of the force field and caught it so as not to be caught in the explosion.

[Ohhh! Oh oh oh oh oh!!!]

“A subject with no vocal organs…!”

What William was was channeling his will through the Raff energy. However, the meaning contained there is just a monster without reason. Being caught up in the strong will of denial, the ego is blown away, and all that remains is the remnant, the thought.

But the remaining thoughts were the problem. Its origin was ‘denial’, especially towards me.

[Oh oh oh oh oh!!]

“After Lee Kyung-jin, you are the first person who made my heart come out.”

If it’s at the level of stepping into the transcendental world, it’s worth putting in some effort. Up until now, the only things I could think I had put in a little bit of effort were, at most, the fight I had with Mr. Lee Kyung-jin when I first met him, and the time I was fighting the humanoid race in the United States.

Whoa!

Heavy raff energy is concentrated in his hand. In addition, Gaia Force’s unique characteristics are mixed with it, and a force presumed to be an ignition or explosion system is expressed.

The ball of energy ejected from his hand at high speed arrived in front of our noses without even blinking an eye. I clenched my fist and hit the orb with it.

Kwaaaaang!!!

“Keah?!?”

Caught in the aftermath, Will made a sound of pain, but he didn’t care. It’s not like I’m going to die anyway because I gave you a stationmaster. He also has his own defense, so he must be badly injured.

“Raccoon Man! What the hell is that guy!”

“It was William.”

“Yes? Me?”

“Ah, that’s right. You said your name was William. No, anyway, that’s the terrorist boss!!!”

It just blew off part of the building. Perhaps the outsiders have already figured out the situation. If that’s the case, even if it’s a little more broken, no one can really say anything.

For example, even if Buckingham Palace is half-destroyed, it’s not my responsibilityhaha, and I can pass it on!!!

“This bastard is stronger than the one that appeared in America, so you can’t do halfway things! I have to eat a big one, but is it okay if I fly a little bit?”

“…I will take responsibility! If something like that goes outside, there will be great loss of life! Even if the palace collapses, it’s better to defeat it here!”

“I liked you bastard! There aren’t many people in the world who want to take responsibility with their mouths these days!”

In today’s society, responsibility is in line with the word suffering damage, so I’m trying to get away from that name.

Even high-ranking people right now are good at saying bullshit about taking responsibility by taking care of yourself and stepping down from your seat if something happens. If you really want to take responsibility, would you commit suicide?

Kiyiing!!!

It fired a beam again, glinting from its eyes. I blocked that bastard’s beam with my hand and walked forward. The beam that hit his hand and radiated in all directions ripped through the ceiling and floor of the palace, bringing the building to the brink of collapsing.

“Where!!!”

Aaaaa!!!

As soon as I closed the distance, I punched him in the face and hit him. Despite amplifying the amount of impact through the force field, not a single crack went to his white face like a dreamy ghost.

Its durability was strong, but more than that, the raff energy couldn’t wrap its entire body, creating a faint force field similar to mine.

[Oh oh oh!]

“It’s a little noisy, you bastard!”

Thud! Thud! Wooooo!!

I hit a few more shots at the vital part of the enemy who was supposed to be human, but I couldn’t do the same damage anywhere because of the force field. I didn’t know when I was the station manager, but this is kind of annoying.

Perhaps it was because of the impact of my attack, but the building that was on the verge of collapsing in the aftermath began to collapse with an uneasy sound. Building debris weighing hundreds of tons falls from above, trying to crush us.

Wooooo!!

Noticing that, he stretched out both of his hands and fired the same ball of energy as before. It is larger and more compressed than before, so the destructive force is expected to be more than twice as large.

As time passed, his body was stabilizing. Not only the composition of the body, but also the fusion of Raph energy and Gaia Force proceeded rapidly.

The current boy was nothing more than a baby. If that’s the case, when he becomes an adult, he’ll be armed……. He says he won’t be able to catch it if he doesn’t use a nuclear weapon.

[Ohhh!!!]

It shattered the rubble of the collapsing building and pierced the ceiling, flying over and out of the collapse. However, I feel that the gaze is towards me until the end.

The remaining thoughts are trying to obliterate my existence based on me. The feeling of denial left by William Lovett kills me… Then it’s obvious. We’ll have to see what he did.

“The building is collapsing!”

“We have to escape! What are you procrastinating on?”

“I’m not good enough!”

“…A-san, catch it first! Let’s escape first!”

Each master user is different, but William seems to be a Force user who cannot fly. It’s more convenient to use the knight’s shield if you have to come into contact with the ground, so even if you’ve grown that way, I can understand it.

I stared straight at him as I followed him through the hole in the ceiling he made as he escaped.

“Unleash the power of the stand!”

If I were to ask you to choose the closest background here, it would be Italy!

How many bosses will you make!!!
