Chapter 152: Riding Doul, Acceleration (1)
At that moment, in Ulleungdo.
Crash!
Magic powers collided. A sound akin to a buzzing hornet resounded swiftly, and the woman with green hair, Doul, stood silently, waiting for something to arrive.
Doul, the green-haired woman, stood still.
Holding a slender sword about 2 meters long, she simply pointed the blade forward, waiting.
Just slightly.
At a moment when the side weeds rustled and settled down.
Swish!
Doul swung her sword widely.
She swung at the empty air, but at the moment her sword made contact, something was there in front of its trajectory.
Crash!
Again, magic powers collided. Shattered remnants fluttered around Doul’s sword.
“Ha, ha… Indeed, the strongest assassin of the secret society!”
Duoexini appeared out of nowhere. Blood was streaming down his shoulder, and he was pressing a half-split mask to his face, gasping for breath.
“How could you match this speed…!”
“It’s a trade secret of the society. Ah, if I had to say.”
Doul, grinning broadly, pointed her sword forward again.
“Don’t think you’re the only one with such powers in this world.”
“Tch…! Did the Goblin tell you…!”
“Of course. You’re marked by the Goblin. Did you think he wouldn’t tell others about you?”
Doul flicked off the black residue on her sword with a swift swing.
“Whether it’s ultra-fast movement, control of relative speed, or simply taking physical enhancement to the extreme. I’m still figuring out your trick, but it might work on others, not on me.”
“Ugh…! Dirty, [Hyper-senses]…!”
“Calling someone else’s power dirty feels a bit off.”
Doul slung the back of her sword over her shoulder and extended her hand forward.
“Come at me again. I’m ready to counter. Unfortunately for you, your attacks can’t even touch a hair on me.”
“What if it’s not you but her!”
“!!”
Doul hurriedly tried to turn, but Duoexini had already disappeared.
“Kyaa?!”
“Chairman!!”
“Kahaha!”
Duoexini appeared behind Yoon Iseon, grabbing her neck from behind.
“Resistance is futile!”
“Urgh…!”
Yoon Iseon tried to create a tail of magic power to escape Duoexini, but he struck the root of the tail with his hand, severing it.
“Ka, ha…!”
As her tail was cut off in an instant, Yoon Iseon’s eyes dimmed as if she were dizzy.
“Chairman…!”
Yumir hurried towards Yoon Iseon, but other demons were rushing towards her.
“White horse aaaah!”
“Woohoot!”
“Urgh…!”
Whether it was an act of showing a diligent appearance or if it was their last act of kindness before becoming demons.
Nam Doo-chang and Gong Tae-beom, now to be called demons, crawled like spiders with twisted joints, continuously pumping pillars that sprouted from their abdomens.
Splash!
Every time the pillars shot up and down, a cloudy, mucus-like substance covered Yumir. Yumir narrowly avoided the attack but couldn’t reach the captured Yoon Iseon.
“Hahaha! Quite agile for the lowest rank! Do you have some hidden power?”
Duoexini shouted at Yumir with a voice dripping in sarcasm or perhaps anticipation.
“The only sane colleague of yours is captured, and the others are hiding behind! The two men who were flirting with you have become demons!”
Duoexini shouted at Yumir as if urging her to do something.
“Come on, call her! Your guardian angel, the Platinum Sun!”
“What…?”
Yumir was momentarily puzzled by Duoexini’s words, but the situation was too urgent to dwell on her confusion.
“Hurry and call for Platinum Sun’s help, or this woman dies!”
“Aaagh?!”
Duoexini tightened his grip on Yoon Iseon’s neck from behind and burst into laughter.
“How dare you!”
“Hmph!”
Doul attempted to attack Duoexini from behind, but she had to twist her body hastily before swinging her sword.
“Ah, what a shame. ‘A student of the Education Institute killed by the secret society!’ would have made a great headline.”
“You coward…!”
“The best compliment. Hahaha.”
Duoexini pointed his index finger at Yoon Iseon’s pale temple.
“By now, probably over a hundred ability users have died, or rather, become demons. Many of them were A-class. Hehehe, and topping it off with the student council president.”
“You… you’re targeting me…!”
“Two birds with one stone. It just so happened that you became a team member at the student’s location. Hehehe.”
Duoexini pointed his finger forward, indicating Yumir, who was dodging the demons’ attacks.
“Platinum Sun, the Golden Priestess…! She’s protecting that woman. Yes, I’m hoping she shows up. Platinum Sun should sweep away all these demons. Ah, the image of a righteous hero in the Golden Priestess’ garb wiping out filthy, disgusting demons…!”
“You’re insane…!”
“Not insane, perfectly rational.”
Duoexini licked his lips with his tongue and giggled.
“An S-plus, the strongest hero on Earth, has been given a stage to shine. Isn’t that right?”
Swish.
Duoexini raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, and the two demons stopped their attack on Yumir.
“Now, Doul. Don’t you want to see it too? Platinum Sun, who must be watching from somewhere, appearing in the student’s moment of crisis!”
“…You.”
Yumir bit her lower lip and stepped forward.
“If I call Platinum Sun, will you let the Chairman go?”
“……!”
Yoon Iseon’s eyes shook violently, and Duoexini’s eyes curled into crescents inside his broken mask.
“That would be splendid…! Come on, do it! I’ll give you 10 seconds! Call Platinum Sun! Phone her, text her, or just shout, ‘Help me, Platinum Sun!!’ Otherwise!!”
Duoexini pulled out a small test tube from his pocket.
“I will insert this into the Chairman.”
“!!”
In Duoexini’s hand was a sphere the size of a tennis ball. It looked like an ordinary plastic ball, but inside, it writhed like something indescribable.
“A horned… fetus…?”
“The fetus of a demon. Over here, we call it ‘Little Devil’… but well, that term isn’t important right now.”
Squirm, squirm.
Yoon Iseon felt genuine fear at the sight of the wriggling worm-like shape inside the sphere.
“That, that can’t be…!”
“It will nest inside you and turn you into a demon. Haha, then-”
Just as Duoexini was about to count.
Swish!
A green light passed by.
Unexpectedly, Doul’s blade sliced through Duoexini’s hand, holding the demon’s fetus.
“Kyaah!!”
Duoexini screamed and staggered back, still holding onto Yoon Iseon.
Thud!
The demon’s fetus fell to the ground.
The fallen hand of Duoexini cushioned its fall, but Doul immediately pointed her sword at the fetus.
“You shouldn’t have let your guard down.”
“Ah, uhuhuh…!”
“That’s why-”
“I have another one.”
Despite losing a wrist, Duoexini calmly pulled out another demon’s fetus from his pocket.
“I can mass-produce seeds, so why not make several of these too? Hehehe. Doul, to subdue me, you’ll have to swing your sword prepared to kill this woman.”
Duoexini still held Yoon Iseon hostage.
“Urgh…!”
It was only because Duoexini had let his guard down that she managed to slash his hand before he could react.
Unless she was ready to slice through the hostage entirely, getting behind Duoexini and swinging her sword was impossible.
“Even if you’re skilled in close combat, it’s hopeless when a hostage is captured like this. Now, let’s set off the fireworks, demons.”
As Duoexini stretched forward his severed hand, black foam spurted from his wrist, regenerating into a hand again.
“How…?!”
“In a world of superpowers, ‘how’ is irrelevant. It works, so we do it. Now, let the fireworks begin!”
Duoexini lightly flicked his regenerated fingers, causing the demons beside him to start pumping their abdomens up and down.
Slap, slap.
Like filling the surroundings with slime, the pillars spewed mucus upwards. Duoexini brought another demon’s fetus close to Yoon Iseon’s face.
“Hehe, now then-”
“Don’t hesitate, just kill him!”
Yoon Iseon shouted as if screaming.
“I’d rather die as a human than become a demon!”
“What…!”
The tail extended from Yoon Iseon’s back and wrapped around Duoexini.
“This, this woman…!”
“I’m A-class…! Even if I can’t match your speed, I can hold you! So go ahead, kill this villain!”
“What!!”
Duoexini, clutching Yoon Iseon’s head from behind, roared in anger.
“I can tolerate being called a bastard, but not a villain!”
“Ugh…!”
“If you won’t call Platinum Sun, I’ll make a situation where she has to come! Now, the birth of another S-class demon! Bow down!”
Just as Duoexini raised the demon’s fetus high, Yumir clenched her fist and charged forward.
“Change…!”
[You talk too much.]
Thump!
Something struck Duoexini’s head.
Thud!
Duoexini rolled on the ground after being hit, and Yumir stopped right in front of the slime, still in her running stance.
“No way…!”
[Sorry for being late. To let someone like him capture you.]
“Ah….”
Screech.
A long skid mark appeared in the bushes as the bike tilted to one side.
[Are you alright?]
“……”
Yoon Iseon, in the Goblin’s arms, faced him up close.
“I’m, I’m fine! I can wash off the dirt…!”
[Good to hear.]
The Goblin gently put Yoon Iseon down from the bike and got off.
[Doul.]
“You came quicker than I thought. Sorry, it was hard to watch someone else at that speed.”
[Let’s start right away.]
The Goblin stood beside Doul, resting his hand on his waist.
[I grant permission for fusion.]
