Humanity Itself is Strong - Chapter 26

Kim Oh-sung, who was watching the scene, murmured with blank eyes.

“How…… Did he kill the giant in one strike……?”

Kim Oh-sung had never heard of anyone cutting the giant in half like tofu.

Only those above Grade B could cause minor injuries to the giant. But that masked man so easily cut the giant that was under Malek’s protection.

Skkk…….

Lee Jin-seong took off his mask and started to laugh while looking at the priest.

“Oh, my.…!”

Kim Oh-sung was shocked to find him alive. Kim Oh-sung was overwhelmed with frustration, and suddenly realized what kind of sword Jin-seong was wielding.

“Is that…… Oriharcon……!”

A legendary weapon made of Oriharcon was a highly dangerous material that could damage not only the giant under Malek’s protection but even the monarch of the dungeon.

“Where the hell did he get that sword?”

Kim Oh-sung was shocked. But soon he calmly regained his composure.

‘Even with a sword, he’s no match for the resurrected monarch.’

Therefore, Lee Soo-ah had to be sacrificed to the altar to confirm the resurrection of the monarch.

The priest beckoned around.

“The living-dead! Hurry up and sacrifice Lee Soo-ah to the altar! By all means!”

All the living-dead in the Colosseum responded to his signal.

Woooooaaa!

All the dead in the stands, as well as the dead who hit the drum or lifted the box, began to jump inside the stadium.

Then, Lee Soo-ah ran to Muhyuk, who was lying on the floor.

“Mister! Are you all right?”

Lee Soo-ah was shedding tears. Muhyuk, who is still conscious, smoothed her hair with trembling hands.

And he laughed. Muhyuk felt so refreshed, as he was losing his mind.

Though he felt death was approaching. He wasn’t sad.

Rather, he was glad that Soo-ah could survive with the appearance of Jin-seong. There was no basis, but he believed that Lee Jin-seong could beat the priest.

So he said his last words.

“…Thank you.”

Tkkk.

Muhyuk’s hand fell to the floor.

“Oh no, mister!”

Soo-ah cried at the sight. It was the moment when she buried her face in his arms in despair at the fact that he could not save Muhyuk because she had no ability.

“Get out of my way.”

A man’s hand pushed Lee Soo-ah aside.

“Ooh!”

Lee Jin-seong took out a sun card and put it on Muhyuk’s chest. And he reached out to Lee Soo-ah.

“Your hand.” “…What?!!” “Hold my hand.” “Yes, yes!”

As soon as Lee Soo-ah held Jin-seong’s hand, the abundant mana stored in her flowed into the sun’s card through Jin-seong.

Ring!

[The unnamed supreme-ruler is happy to taste mana after a long time!] [The unnamed supreme-ruler says that Muhyuk’s injury is nothing!]

A message from the supreme-ruler From the part where the card and the sides met, Muhyuk’s body began to recover quickly. The side of the wound which was bleeding, healed. And his lips that had turned blue and his face regained vitality.

After a while, the warm, powerful blood began to circulate throughout his body.

“Puuuh!”

Muhyuk started to breathe again.

“……This, this is……?”

Muhyuk stood up unknowingly. One after another, he began to look around his body. The side of the hole was recovered, and the bones of his broken body were attached again.

In addition, the vitality of his body was overflowing beyond comparison to earlier.

“Mister!” At that time, Lee Soo-ah was hugged by Muhyuk once again.

“Lee, Lee Soo-ah……!”

Despite this embarrassing situation, Muhyuk seemed to be filled with joy at the sight of Lee Soo-ah, who was safe.

But the feeling didn’t last long.

“Oh!”

Another big hand appeared and lifted Lee Soo-ah and took her away from Muhyuk. It was Jin-seong.

Jin-seong warned Soo-ah, who had been taken off.

“Don’t get in the way.” “Oh………….”

Jin-seong, who looked at Soo-ah, tossed a knife to Muhyuk. Muhyuk grabbed the knife that Jin-seong threw into the air with his hands.

“…This is?”

It was an Oriharcon Dwarf Sword that Jin-seong tossed to Muhyuk. And he spoke calmly.

“Take Soo-ah and join the cadets. Take down any living-dead in your way.”

When Muhyuk, who came to his senses, turned his head, the cadets released from the handcuffs were holding weapons and creating a formation. Jin-seong gave them the weapons he stored in advance.

“……I see. Well, and…”

However, Jin-seong replied back before Muhyuk could say a word.

“Don’t worry about the time bomb. Yoo Jae-hak has already found it and is dismantling it.” “…How do you do that?”

Before coming down to the dungeon, Muhyuk had combined the mana battery with a detonator and installed it in a power generation facility. Muhyuk intended to blow up the entire underground if he and Lee Soo-ah died.

However, Jin-seong already knew about such a plan through his ‘See-Through’ ability.

“Well, go on now.”

And it was the moment when Jin-seong turned around.

“Mr. Jin-seong.”

Jin-seong looked back. Then Muhyuk was bowing down looking at Jin-seong.

“……What are you doing?” “I would like to have you as my master in the future. Please accept my sincere request.” “…….”

Jin-seong thought inwardly in the attitude of Muhyuk.

‘Well, things are going better than I thought.’

But he shook his head. What Jin-seong needed was not a hound.

“No, I refuse. Let me suggest something else instead.” “Just tell me anything.” “You, be my disciple.” “Disciple…?”

Jin-seong said calmly.

“Yeah, I’m gonna be your professor.”

After half the world was ruined. A professor at a military academy was able to enjoy considerable privileges. Among them, even a murder license can be issued.

‘There is no better position to work than professors to clean up the living-dead who have penetrated into society.’

And to become a professor, he had to have students as well as individual skills.

Muhyuk, who was staring at Jin-seong blankly at the words, bowed down again.

“All right, Master! I’ll take you as my master from now on!”

Although he used the expression “master” instead of “professor”, Jin-seong did not necessarily correct him.

“Okay, then follow my instructions from now on.”

At that, Muhyuk jumped out of his seat.

“I will, no matter what!”

Lee Jin-seong nodded at the sight.

It’s a little straightforward, but he’s got a useful student. In addition, Lee Soo-ah, who will supply a huge amount of mana, was also obtained.

‘Now if I kill the priest, everything is over.’ Therefore, Jin-seong did not look back and brushed off the living-dead and headed to the priest.

In the meantime.

“Let all the giants out!”

Kim Oh-seong, the priest, stood on a high platform and was screaming. Everything was planned so perfectly.

But Lee Jin-seong appeared like a ghost and devastated the entire plan.

“Who is him? Who the hell sent him?”

The priest couldn’t figure out what was going on no matter how hard he tried to think.

Kugugoooooo!

Then more than ten Takers gathered in front of the priest and stood around him like a wall. The priest/chairman was troubled minded.

‘There’s a lot more living-dead over the humans. Over time, those little cadets will be worn out. Time is on our side, the question is whether that Lee Jin-seong gets caught in my trap–‘

It was that moment.

Peeeeew!

A beam of light was drawn around the three takers that were standing around the wall and disappeared.

Whoosh!

In a moment, the veins burst out of the backs of the giants. Their upper body slipped to the floor and crashed.

Kugugung…

“That’s crazy…… This time, it’s three……?!”

It was one earlier, but this time, three were slaughtered with a single stroke. But now is not the time to be appalled.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Lee Jin-seong was walking toward the priest, slaughtering the rest of the giants with a sword.

Pooh, kung, kugung……!

Despite the brutal slaughter of the giants. Jin-seong was not touched by a single drop of the Taker’s black blood.

Before long, Lee Jin-seong stood in front of Kim Oh-seong, with giants piled up like mountains behind him.

“Kim Oh-sung.” “Ugh…!!”

Kim Oh-sung stepped back. But behind the Oh-sung was Malek’s bronze statue.

Looking at Kim Oh-sung, Lee Jin-seong opened his mouth.

“Do you remember what I said?” “……what, what?!!” “People die easily.”

That’s when the school conducted an interview. It was what Jin-seong said to Kim Oh-sung. Kim Oh-sung lamented over the fact.

“This, this…… son of a bitch…I should have killed you then.…!”

Kim Oh-sung’s scream made Jin-seong smile.

“That’s what everyone says.”

And at that moment.

Pooh!

A golden-edged oriharcon blade cut off Kim Oh-sung’s neck. In an instant, the priest’s decapitated neck flew in the air.

Tuck, thump…!

Skkk.

Jin-seong picked up the priest’s head. The priest’s face was distorted with pain.

But Jin-seong smiled at the head. It wasn’t because he was happy to cut off a person’s neck, but because Kim Oh-sung’s deception was so funny.

“Don’t act. I know you’re not dead.”

Then the priest’s eyes, which had been distorted with a distressed expression, began to change.

“You got me?”

At that moment, Kim Oh-sung’s head, which Lee Jin-seong was holding, slowly began to melt. In an instant, his head turned white, and even the white bones scattered to dust in the air.

And. Kim Oh-sung’s body lying on the floor emitted flames.

Poof!

The raging flames quickly engulfed Jin-seong. A red flame swirled Jin-seong like dragon’s fire.

At that moment, Kim Oh-sung’s laughter was heard everywhere.

“Hahaha, it’s too late, you’re in a trap!”

Then a man and his son appeared in a hidden space below the hem. There was another Kim Oh-sung hiding.

“This is the superheat hell the mighty monarch has given me!”

So in fact, Kim Oh-sung, who stood on the podium, was a fake man. He just used the body of another person as a doll.

Then Kim Oh-sung ordered his son standing next to him.

“Jang-soo, when the flame dies down, take his body away immediately!”

Kim Oh-sung and his son Kim Jang-soo, who don’t resemble each other at all, were delighted.

“Really? Can I use that body?” “Haha, of course! I’m sure you’ll love that new body!”

Then Kim Jang-soo smiled.

Of course, he would have suffered a fatal burn from the superheat hell, but he was fine. Jang-soo’s ability to “Steal Bodies (SSS),” was a function that included the effect of restoring a body to a normal state as soon as it was taken away from him.

Thus, even in a fatal state of injury leading to death, the moment the consciousness of longevity is transferred to the body, it is restored to his original healthy body.

After a while, Kim Oh-sung shouted at the timing of the fire dying down.

“Now! Now take his body!”

Kim Jang-soo, the son of Kim Oh-sung, flew away as soon as the flames cleared.

But!

Thhhk!

A long golden spear glistened through the smoke, and a scary sound of a wave crossed the air.

Pkkkk! For an instant, a long spear popped out through the flames and penetrated Kim Jang-soo.

“Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

However, the golden spear penetrated Kim Jang-soo and did not stop.

Puck!

The end of the fallen spear penetrated not only Kim Jang-soo but also the heart of Kim Oh-sung.

“Huh?”

Whoosss…!

Kim Jang-soo and Kim Oh-sung were stabbed by the same spear and fell to the floor.

Then the man with the spear through the two appeared through the smoke.

Sssss…

The authenticity in between the flames was as good as fresh air.

[The first effect of The Eye of Assisi, flame resistance is in effect!]

“Sav, save me!” “Oh, Dad!”

The two tried to escape from the spear, but couldn’t escape because they were penetrated to the floor.

Snkkk.

And Jin-seong pulled a sword from his card slot. Jin-seong said calmly, raising the sword high.

“Be a good man in your next life.”

Kim Oh-sung and Kim Jang-soo screamed while looking at the blade that Jin-seong lifted.

“Argh!” “No, no, no, no!”

Whoosh!

Kim Oh-sung and Kim Jang-soo’s necks were cut off in an instant and rolled on the floor.

Thud, thud, thud……!

The head of the dead people who were establishing a place in the school. Was removed like this.

It was then.

Ring!

[You have successfully killed Kim Oh-sung and Kim Jang-soo – Achievement, ‘There must be friendship between father and son’!] [Killed two villans at once – Achievement, ‘killing two birds with one stone!’]

[2 Rewards for the achievements will be paid through the locker!]

Soon after, a storage box appeared in front of Jin-seong’s eyes as an information window. Jin-seong nodded his head.

“I got lucky.”
