Chapter 16

16. Junk Shop (2)

He checked the magic cards.

But all sorts of things come out.

<​Passive>[Stealth](Advanced) -Assassination-type magic -Hides presence. -Stealth duration time +20%

The flower of assassination-type magic, [Stealth].

I can use this too?

“Hehehe.”

Unfortunately it maintains until casting and the moment some magic is used the stealth is released, but is that something?

Where is there a mage who hides and fires element magic bang bang?

‘Not enough with that, even this!’

There is even more.

Because a Rare grade magic came out.

<​Active>[Lightning Orb](Rare) -Lightning-type magic -The generated lightning orb advances and delivers lightning damage to the surroundings. -Mana consumption: 300 -Lightning orb size +20% -Lightning orb power +20% *Magic Residue effect: When the lightning orb advances, cast [Chain Lightning]. [Range Increase +20%]<​Applied>

Lightning-type magic, [Lightning Orb].

A range magic that creates a circular orb as the description says.

Since a [Range Increase] card also came out he applied it right away. The range of the lightning orb increases more.

‘I have heard that if cast on a clustered place the effect is excellent.’

[Lightning Strike] + [Lightning Orb] combination.

At this level it will be quite usable.

His magic level was strengthened one more layer.

* * *

Future City Construction chairman’s office.

The air inside the room was heavy.

“···How on earth are you doing the work? How did you do it that our company name came out from the person who turned himself in, I’m curious.”

Future City Construction’s chairman, Ju Daehwan asked the man who bowed his head in front of him.

A little while ago, he received a peculiar report.

Someone who turned himself in exposed the corruption of his company.

“S-sorry. I tried to progress as cleanly as possible and even employed Kim Myeongdo and sent him··· it seems something went wrong.”

“···You sent Kim Myeongdo?”

Ju Daehwan asked back.

If Kim Myeongdo he would have processed cleanly at that level, why?

“Yes, but there is no contact at all from Kim Myeongdo and the Nano Biotech company was closed. Then a contact came that the president guy turned himself in.”

“······.”

Sizzle.

Ju Daehwan quietly lit a cigarette.

“That’s strange. A guy like Kim Myeongdo is not a guy who would process work like this··· do you know why I entrusted you with the Special Business Department team leader position?”

“···It was to assist the chairman’s will.”

“Yeah, you know well. But what is the current situation? It’s soon the time when that person will do a big thing, if like this won’t it become a burden to that person?”

“S-sorry. This matter I will cleanly organize on my line. There will be no matter for the chairman to worry about at all.”

Special Business Department, team leader Park Junhyeok replied while bowing his head.

“It should be like that. If you can’t even process a matter like this properly, that person will think there is no reason to be together with us··· and how is the mana vein matter going?”

“That part you don’t have to worry. Currently we are contacting the building owners in Sillim-dong and giving some money. We put the condition to drive out all the residing people.”

Nod, nod.

Ju Daehwan quietly nodded his head.

“We have to hurry. Soon that person will make an announcement about Sillim-dong. When that time comes it will get busy so prepare in advance. Ah, and··· also prepare usable mercenary mage guys well.”

“Yes, don’t worry. They are already in a prepared state. They can be deployed anytime.”

Future City Construction’s plan gradually approached.

* * *

Mr. Park woke from sleep.

Current time 2 PM.

He moved at dawn yesterday but···.

“Eat.”

As soon as he got up he ate the lunch his wife prepared.

In his heart he wants to sleep more, but he has to work.

He dragged his slippers shuffle, shuffle and headed to the shop.

‘By the way Kim Myeongdo···.’

When he arrived at the company he was full of tension.

Because the surroundings had been completely devastated.

Looking at the shape it was exactly the shock-type magic Kim Myeongdo uses well.

But···.

‘What fire-type magic is there that emits heat of that level?’

The appearance inside the building was even more bizarre.

Because it all melted.

No, not just the degree of melting but melted to the point the inside of the building was dug in.

Even around the main gate it all melted to the point the form couldn’t be recognized.

‘There isn’t. No matter how much I think there isn’t···.’

He recalled all kinds of fire-type magic.

But magic of that level didn’t particularly come to mind.

Moreover if it’s the level of bachelor Jeong Dojin even more.

Just by looking a newcomer who hasn’t been in this field long.

But the magic use was strange.

Because he used all sorts of element magics.

‘Is this person a magic genius···?’

Without this it doesn’t make sense.

But if a genius?

‘Yeah, right. Guys called geniuses of magic were always different from others.’

This might be being together with an amazing mage, hehe.

“Yeah? Who is it?”

The laundry shop he arrived at like that.

Some people are in front of the shop.

However, somehow the attire is the same as those guys from then.

“Ah, are you the owner of this shop?”

“······.”

One man spoke.

A man who particularly stands out among the group.

The body was also quite huge, and the vibe given off is not ordinary.

‘That would be those guys’ leader.’

The rest are not at a level to be wary of, but that guy is different. Definitely a guy with something.

“Right. Let me ask one. A little while ago our employees seem to have visited here··· right?”

“Yeah? I don’t know···.”

“We came knowing everything so confess truthfully.”

“Then why ask knowing, hurting the mouth.”

“Ha.”

Future City Construction Special Business Department secretary, Kim Cheolho laughed emptily.

“Looking at our kids being involved with you, there must have been some reason worth it. Will you come together?”

“Saying it so harshly like this, if you say let’s go will I go?”

“You won’t go.”

“Right. Why keep doing it hurting the mouth.”

“Bring him.”

“““Yes!!”””

Small fry moved.

Guys gradually surrounding Mr. Park.

Mr. Park quietly examined the guys’ level.

‘Usable ones are about 3rd Rank. Most are 2nd Rank.’

Swoosh.

He looked at the shop.

It’s the front, but not the inside.

Due to the characteristic of being fixed in place he won’t be able to use that guy···.

“Be careful.”

Rub, rub rub.

Mr. Park gestured in the air and drew something.

Then a tearing crack above the guys’ heads.

Inside that···.

“D-dodge!!”

Whooong. Kwaaaaaaaaaang!

In an instant a giant monster’s foot came down swoosh! and trampled.

“Guh!”

“Kyaaaaaak!”

A few who couldn’t avoid and were trampled.

The guys’ eyes shook greatly.

“Th-this bastard···?”

“Be careful! Th-this bastard is a request office owner···!”

Small fry were flustered.

However, that guy was different.

“Don’t get flustered, you bastards. Embarrassing. Don’t you know even seeing? It’s summon-type magic. Looking it doesn’t seem like a summon school··· even more not a servant school··· you, are you a summoning school?”

“There, stop asking hurting the mouth.”

Rub, rub rub.

Mr. Park gestured in the air again.

It’s not to catch small fry like that.

He has to catch the guy who is the head of the group.

This time a crack tore right in front of Kim Cheolho’s nose.

Whiiiiiiing!!

“······!”

In an instant a giant monster’s sharp claw stretching out long.

Kim Cheolho’s two eyes widening in surprise.

Kwaaaang!

It covered Kim Cheolho as is.

But.

“Oh my, you are a sturdy guy. I have to open the shop quickly.”

“···Kuuuh!”

Kim Cheolho pushed back with both arms stretched out.

He blocked the giant monster’s arm and stood enduring.

Of course, it wasn’t blocked with his own arm.

A giant barrier that popped out in front of Cheolho blocked it.

“Are you a defense-type mage? You would be quite sturdy.”

Rub, rub rub! Rub rub rub! Rub!

He gestured continuously.

Cracks tore on both sides of Kim Cheolho.

Giant monster arms narrowed as if clapping.

Bang bang! Bang bang!

Cheolho quickly gestured upward.

Giant walls popped up on both sides and blocked the monster’s arms.

Whooong—.

Kwaaaaaang!! Crash crash!

[Barrier] collapsing as is.

Kim Cheolho hurriedly continuously cast several layers of [Shield] on his body.

Kwaaaaaang!! Crrrack! Crrrack!

Over ten continuously cast [Shield]s broke.

And again a giant monster’s foot popping out from above.

Kwaaaang!

“Kyaaaak!”

Kim Cheolho was crushed as is.

It seems the bones of the whole body will break.

But he had cast all kinds of defense buffs on the body in advance.

Of course, even so pain to the point blood flows heavily was felt.

If even a little late, he would have died instantly.

“Hiya, as expected sturdy. Still not smoking incense? At this rate I’ll smoke incense···.”

“Th-this··· fuck bastards! Are you just going to watch and hit!”

“Yes, yes!!”

Small fry each cast casting.

Mr. Park also had no choice but to take his gaze off the guy.

He quickly cast casting.

Rub, rub rub rub!! Crrrack! Crrrack!

Tearing cracks in all directions.

Cracks occurred behind seven small fry.

But.

“···This. Guek!”

Thud thud thud thud thud thud!! Kwaaang!

In an instant Kim Cheolho who wrapped stones on the whole body like a golem charged.

Mr. Park’s thin body floated in the air and was slammed.

“Ha, fuck bastard.”

Kim Cheolho exhaled rough breath and spat curses.

But the anger still hasn’t been resolved.

Bang! Kwaang! Kwaaaang!

“Guek! Guh! Guguek!”

He stepped, and stepped again.

Mr. Park’s bones broke and he vomited blood.

“Even if you catch this bastard and kill him it’s fine so make him confess somehow. Got it? These fuck bastards··· just watching and hitting··· fuck.”

“““···Yes, yes! Understood!”””

Drag—.

Mr. Park was dragged away.

Strength left the whole body so he couldn’t even resist.

“Ku, cough! Y-you··· what are you trying to do doing this··· I am a request office owner··· even the next door dog knows that if you touch a request office owner you get fucked···.”

“······.”

“I-I last time thought the small fry guys were just messing around and tried to let it pass··· if you keep doing this you’ll really get fucked··· do you think the request association will s-stay still? No matter how much you Future City······ guguek!!”

Smack!!

“Fuck bastard. Why does the guy who said not to hurt the mouth have so many words.”

Mr. Park fainted.

* * *

He barely got up.

What time is it now···.

‘3 PM.’

Because he took one to the junk shop grandfather until then it became morning before he could sleep.

Still this is something.

To think I did overtime.

‘Proud.’

Because he was someone who lived the life of a forced unemployed who wanted to work but couldn’t, somehow even work like this was welcome.

“Kuuuuh!”

He lightly did some stretching.

“Huh?”

But something feels different.

A mood of somehow feeling something.

Is this mana by any chance?

“······.”

Someone’s mana is felt from several places.

He concentrated on one following that energy.

‘···Mr. Sangcheol?’

Familiar energy.

It was written that the mana detection rate of a familiar target is higher with the [Mana Detection] effect, right?

So he felt it was Mr. Sangcheol.

[Mana Detection]. This is how you do it?

‘Oh, really like a mage.’

He saw a lot in movies.

Detecting the opponent’s mana to grasp the level too, and find something.

But they said this is secretly difficult.

‘As expected card draw.’

Now some mage form is coming out.

Cough, then shall he look at others too?

Let’s see this energy.

‘Is it Miss Hana?’

Felt very faintly.

To the point of being confused because too faint.

Then this?

‘It’s Grandma Sunim.’

Then Mr. Park will also be felt.

“Hmm···.”

He looked for the uncle’s mana.

Oh, it’s felt.

Then is he at the shop?

Because he has to receive additional compensation too.

Anyway there is business to see, so this time let’s also learn the sense of finding the accurate location.

Screech.

He immediately came out of the house and continuously chased the uncle’s energy.

‘But isn’t it the shop?’

This direction is not the laundry shop direction.

He tried calling.

-······Not answering the phone.

He’s not even answering the phone.

Is he very busy.

‘But why did he go there?’

Chasing the mana he roughly knows the location too.

The strange thing is, there is an empty area with no people coming and going.

Once a one-room village where people lived, but now a neighborhood everyone left and emptied. There the uncle’s mana was felt.

‘Strange. Why there···.’

He has to quickly receive additional compensation and level up.

While at it he went to find the uncle.

* * *

Smack, smack!

“Guek! Kiek! Guguek!”

Hit, and hit again.

Hit by punches armed with magic so it hurt more.

Blood dripped from Mr. Park’s face.

“I ask again. Who did you give the request to then.”

“Ha, haha··· oh my, why keep a-asking what even the next door dog knows··· telling the request office owner to t-tell information about the request he received?”

“···Hit more.”

Thud, thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

“K-kuuuh··· y-you will really get f-fucked··· wh-what do you see the r-request association as······.”

“Worrying about everything. When you come out alive from here you get fucked, if you die··· isn’t it not knowing?”

“Ha, ha··· fuck. Right···.”

“So it would be better to speak when speaking nicely.”

Faint smile.

Mr. Park forcibly smiled faintly moving the mouth that doesn’t even go up well.

“If I speak··· you’ll kill me···.”

“······.”

Smart, you bastard.

Kim Cheolho didn’t deny.

“Huh, uncle?”

“Ah shit, surprised!”

“U-uwaaah!!”

At that time.

Suddenly a familiar voice popped out and was heard.

Even the surprised Mr. Park’s heart pounded.

Mr. Park laboriously raised his head.

A welcome person came.

Bachelor Dojin was coming over from the window.

‘···But how is he coming from there with no sound at all? Really a genius!?’

Infiltrating without sound.

As expected a not ordinary bachelor.

* * *

He found the place the uncle was.

An abandoned building that was a commercial building in the past here.

But this really smells shady.

“Hey, got a cigarette?”

“This bastard. You also have one I know?”

“Caught. Still give one.”

“What nonsense is this!”

Some men were loitering in front of the commercial building.

The situation is exactly that.

A feeling of blocking from entering inside somehow.

Moreover look at that. Traces of a scary tattoo carved on the nape.

The attire is like office workers, but looking at the appearance exactly thugs.

···It smells.

‘Clearly the uncle is inside there.’

He has to go inside and see.

But just by looking it seems they won’t allow.

‘An opportunity to use this also arose.’

Let’s go in secretly.

If he made a fuss and he misunderstood?

Then it’s embarrassing···.

So let’s go secretly and if it doesn’t seem right swoosh, come out.

He immediately cast [Stealth].

Then swoosh, the body thinning.

“······.”

He quietly, quietly passed the guys.

They didn’t notice at all.

Like that he came inside and saw···.

‘What?’

The scenery was miserable.

Because Mr. Park was kneeling and had become a blood clot.

In front of that the hands of the guys there were also stained with blood.

···The size came out exactly.

“Huh, uncle?”

He revealed his appearance.

Then people surprised.

“Ah shit, surprised!”

“Uwaaah!”

The guys were surprised at his voice.

“You this bastard what? How did you come? Hey! What are the bastards outside doing!”

“C-clearly··· they would have been guarding in front···.”

“These idiot bastards really.”

The guys got solidly angry.

It seems they don’t welcome that he came.

“Ha, haha··· you really a g-genius? How did you know and come··· ha, haha. D-did you kill all the guys o-outside···?”

“No. I just secretly, quietly came here.”

“···Very genius-like.”

“But uncle why are you like that? What’s going on.”

He asked while casting with the hand hidden behind quietly.

“Hey, you there. I don’t know what kind of guy you are··· don’t you grasp the atmosphere? If you don’t want to die just go?”

At that time, one guy quietly approached.

Seeing that appearance Mr. Park laboriously laughed.

“K-keke··· hya, you guys··· stronger than Kim Myeongdo? That guy is stronger. And me and that friend are in the middle of building a trust relationship···.”

“This bastard went crazy from being beaten. What? Kim Myeongdo? Is Kim Myeongdo some bastard’s name! That kind of guy is stronger?”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A man with a quite large body trampled the uncle.

In an instant, he flinched but tried to stay calm.

‘Let’s grasp the situation first.’

He can’t rush.

First he knows the uncle was severely done in.

The uncle who is a request office owner.

‘Then those guys also wouldn’t be ordinary.’

Moreover the number is also many.

Including the outside guys at least eight.

Naturally it might be more than that.

He lightly put his hand in the pocket and held the mana stones he had.

“···Uncle are you okay?”

“Ku, cough··· I’m going to die··· D-Dojin bachelor. Will you save me a bit? At this rate I won’t be able to do laundry for people··· I want to give you a bonus too I’m going crazy just···.”

“Ah, I have to receive it. Bonus.”

He also has to receive additional compensation.

He has to receive what to receive.

“Uh, uh? What is that bastard? How did he come in?”

“Really some guy came?”

“S-sorry! C-clearly no sound at all···!”

At that time, the guys who were outside gathered in a horde.

Looking at such guys the large-bodied man frowned.

“Bastards what are you doing. Not processing that bastard.”

“Yes! Hey this crazy bastard! Don’t you grasp the atmosphere?”

“Didn’t you hear to always be careful when entering an abandoned building? Huh?”

At this rate he will also be in danger.

He tightly gripped the hand holding the mana stones.

Wooooong—. Wooooong—. Wooooong—.

[Leveled up.]

Mana stones obtained through one request.

Among them he used all the ones he had put in the pocket.

However, his purpose is not level up.

‘Without Teri it will be shorter than last time, but if I use all the mana combo I will endure a bit.’

Moreover these guys also don’t seem up to that Kim Myeongdo level.

“···Come out.”

“Come out? Let’s go outside?”

“Follow to the rooftop, is this it? Yeah, fuck! Let’s go!”

“Kekeke, this bastard went crazy······, huh?”

Crackle, crackle!!

Not you, come out Thunder.

“Ha, haha! Wh-what did I s-say! Right! G-genius! You all die! Hahaha!”

Mr. Park got excited.
