Ch 82
Episode 81 – Reunion.
Jaejoo Kim’s behavior was almost instinctive.
The irritability that I wanted to feed the damn manager at least once built up and made me automatically raise my arm.
-manager?
– What the hell
[The broadcast ends.]
The broadcast was turned off regardless of Jaejoo Kim’s will.
“You are more shy than you think.”
hold on hold on hold on hold on
“Popoi!”
As if his actions were funny, the popoes revealed their sharp teeth in a playful cry.
“Get away.”
It was dangerous for the popoes to stick together.
“Popoi…….”
The popoes rolled their eyes and jumped back to the side.
Jaejoo Kim stretched out his arms in front of him and controlled the shoes.
easy profit.
The shoe pierced the floor and took root deeply.
Soon after, the mana stored in the bloodstream started to heat up the mechanical gloves by burning the magic circuit.
The mechanical armor that had abandoned Cray’s magic circuit arrangement and painted only Brann’s method.
I couldn’t control the amplified energy and I was trembling like crazy.
Pa-ang!
The light was shot faster than the sound coming out of the ejection port.
A pillar of light that would swallow a dove in one bite tore through the space and ran.
hold on?
It was just there.
The light was sucked in endlessly through the dove’s open mouth.
Just looking at the way the lights bend and swallow like a black hole was enough to make you nauseous.
Soon after, the mana of the blood stone ran out, and the pillar of light receded.
Jaejoo Kim clenched his teeth.
Following his will, the magical powers within his body flowed into his arms.
The pillar of light, which had shrunk as it lost its strength, swelled once again.
A bewildered scream poured out from the manager’s mouth.
‘···little bit more.’
It had been a long time since the shoes could not hold up and were pushed back and the ground turned over.
If it hadn’t been for the body that was softened by the Tarha combat technique, the taste would have gone away sooner.
An endless feeling of exhaustion came over him.
Yet only one.
Only the feeling of giving the manager a shot was moving him.
All magical energy poured into his arms, and the pillar of light soon lost its power and disappeared.
Jaejoo Kim endured his body tormented by a sense of weakness and glared at the front.
guruk. guruk.
The pigeon, making a different sound than before, shook its head violently as if it had had a shock.
And then his lips ripped open.
“Are you done with your anger?”
It was the sound of scraping metal.
It’s the kind of sound that makes your heart flutter and touches your nerves.
“················ogue.”
Jaejoo Kim didn’t even have time to answer.
All I had to do was put my hands on my knees and barely hold on.
My whole body trembled at the excessive use of magical power.
“Such. I don’t know why you hate me so much.”
The pigeon’s body faltered and gradually changed into a human form.
Suddenly, a small child with a small body was sitting on the fence, waving his limp legs.
black hair. Shorts and white shirt.
There, the appearance of the little boy in suspenders was a look that anyone would say is cute.
“What! I changed it because I thought that this would reduce your aggression.”
Jaejoo Kim lifted his head and looked at such a manager, and struggled to straighten himself up.
“······Whatever-”
“What a fuss!”
The moment Kim Jae-joo’s mouth was about to open.
The door slammed open and Palaham appeared.
“Little-”
“Don’t disturb me.”
When the manager snapped his finger, Palaham stopped moving.
Also, the clouds that were slowly floating in the sky.
Even the grass that had been blown away on the ground that had been dented by the shoes.
Everything stopped.
Only Jaejoo Kim and the manager were moving in it.
The manager who had turned into a boy grinned.
“Long time no see.”
“·······It is not nice to see you.”
“I was itching to see you, but I’m disappointed.”
“What happened all of a sudden?”
“You really think it’s sudden?”
“················ogue.”
The manager jumped off the fence and set his back.
Then, with a light footstep, it was very bright to see them approaching with a dance-like beat.
“How was Tarha?”
“················ogue.”
“Why aren’t you talking? sad to say It’s a place that I was really concerned about.”
The manager, who came all the way to Kim Jae-joo’s nose, held up a cleaver and looked up at Kim Jae-joo.
“It’s the first place where experiments on souls were conducted.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You said it before. A person’s memory is like the soul. So I gave the trials to the strong warriors. How long can I last if the unforgettable memories repeat endlessly?”
Kim Jae-joo felt out of breath at the innocent manager’s words.
“You mean it was just a joke?”
Kim Jae-joo’s voice calmed down.
“It’s a joke, it’s an experiment. Experiment. The warriors of Tarha survived the experiment better than anyone else. In the end, to the point where I gave up with both hands up.”
Kim Jae-joo’s fists clenched clenchedly when he saw the manager stepping back, raising his hands and winking.
The mechanical gloves spit out heat, to the extent that even if the flesh was burned, the strength would not be relieved.
“······· Since I am not interested in such bad hobbies, let’s talk about the main point.”
The manager tilted his head innocently.
“Isn’t that obvious? Have you considered taking on a managerial position? I think they looked after me a lot even when I got to the 20th floor.”
“Stop the bullshit.”
“Because it is! Otherwise, how would you have met Kang-hyuk Jeong in the Shadow Game!”
“No thanks.”
“You’re polite.”
Tears fell from the manager’s eyes.
If someone you didn’t know saw it, you would feel sympathy.
“If you’ve finished talking, let’s go now.”
Of course, it didn’t work for Jaejoo Kim.
As if when the manager cried, he narrowed his forehead and puffed up his cheeks.
“I’m disappointed. Think again.”
“I don’t like it.”
“There will be nothing to look at anymore. Does it matter if I die?”
“yes.”
The manager’s mouth opened wide, and the corners of his mouth were torn as if they were touching his nose.
“This is your last chance. If you want to die, I will kill you now.”
Jaejoo Kim sighed.
“I told you before.”
There was no magic left in his body.
Still, he raised his right hand with mechanical gloves.
“I don’t like it.”
“haha! There would be no more magical power, but courage is virtual…”
The manager’s voice faded.
Because I saw an unbelievable sight.
Wii ing.
Mechanical gloves were burning silently.
The magic of the sun radiating from Jaejoo Kim’s heart responded to him.
「Enian」
The letters engraved on the tip of the glove radiated bright light.
“What is this…?”
P-ing!
A flash of pure white pierced the manager’s heart.
“······her?”
Kugugugu Palace.
Gnawing at the manager’s body, the size was called.
guruk.
A buzzing sound erupted from the manager’s mouth.
Unfortunately, Jaejoo Kim could not see the scene any more.
bang!
His body floundered in the tremendous recoil, and he was immediately smashed into Palaham’s house.
A familiar ceiling appeared.
He broke the wall and entered the kitchen.
‘in action.’
He worked hard to get rid of the feeling of frustration that was hard to lift a finger.
Ignoring my screaming and trembling body, I got up from my seat with difficulty.
He dragged his immobile legs and ran over the broken wall.
was there
Kuruk. Kuroouk.
It was something that melted in black that was hard to see even in human form.
“················ogue.”
Jaejoo Kim stared at the mass without saying a word.
Kuroouk.
“Stop it and get up.”
The mass quickly regained its shape.
Not a child, not an old man, not a dog. Just like a human shadow.
“It’s the magic of the sun, so how did you use it?”
“It’s okay to do anything.”
“I didn’t know you would hate me so much, my heart hurts so much.”
“It’s not that I hate it. Because I never wanted to like it in the first place. It’s just an instinctive disgust.”
“haha! That’s right too. How can you hate someone who is not interested?”
The black face of the manager simmered.
“Then, you have to make them interested.”
The manager stretched out his right hand.
“You have behaved well when you came here. He treated all relationships coldly, as if he didn’t want to create weaknesses.”
Tentacles spewed out of wriggling hands.
“But isn’t there a saying that when you look, you feel affection? I think you’ve got something to fall in love with.”
The settlement of the tentacles, which had grown endlessly, were Popois.
Black tentacles fluttered in front of their twinkling eyes.
“How is it? Will this make you hate me a little?”
“Stop it. The popoes were just what I used to survive anyway.”
“Really?”
“You’ve seen it, so you know.”
“thank god. Thank you for alleviating my remaining guilt.”
The tip of the blunt tentacles turned sharp.
“stop.”
Jaejoo Kim’s heart was pounding.
His heart shook as if he hated the magic of the sun, which showed no sign of coming out any more.
“What if you don’t like it?”
The sharp tentacles retreated slightly as if jokingly, then moved forward again and again.
Each time, Jaejoo Kim’s body twitched, and the corner of the manager’s mouth rose like a tear.
“stop it.”
“You have no choice.”
As if the tentacles had made a decision, it rose high. It had the momentum to descend and pierce the Popois at any moment.
Without stopping there, the tentacles ran towards Popoi.
“Stop it, you crazy bastard!”
It was an instant.
The tentacles touched the eyes of Jaejoo Kim, who did not move, as the scream of Jaejoo was colorless.
Popoi’s body shone brightly.
“Popoi!”
Popois exposed their sharp teeth.
It chewed off the tentacles that approached it, stretched its fur, and slashed the tentacles.
Starting with Raha, Berin and Codin approached Jaejoo Kim and jumped on their shoulders.
“Popoi!”
When the popoes saw Jaejoo Kim, who was covered in scars, they stick out their tongues and lick them.
at that incredible sight.
The tentacles that stretched out came back to the manager without any power.
“… the spirit of the World Tree. Nonsense.”
The manager’s voice shook uneasy.
“················ogue.”
Jaejoo Kim felt the magic power filling up his body without saying anything.
His body was regaining vitality.
Every time the popoes lick him.
“It’s out of my control. I can’t believe it.”
The manager raised his finger and snapped it.
Each time it happened, the landscape moved and stopped and crackled.
Popois did not change.
“Popoi.”
After confirming that Jaejoo Kim is okay, he just stares at the manager.
“Whether the magic of the sun caused the variable or not… this is something…”
The manager’s vain gestures just stopped, and he continued muttering as if he was calculating something.
“·······Whew.”
Jaejoo Kim took a deep breath and exhaled, then stared intently at the manager.
“You have succeeded.”
At the words of Jaejoo Kim, the manager closed his mouth and met his gaze.
“What do you mean?”
“I hate you.”
“················ogue.”
The manager looked at Jaejoo Kim without saying a word.
Then, his body squirmed again, and he turned into a child again.
“That’s good!”
“Now turn it off. Or will you kill me?”
“It can’t be. Without you, I will die of boredom. It’s clear.”
“················ogue.”
The manager chuckled.
“Should we punish the stubborn child instead? There will be no more to look after.”
“Do whatever you want.”
“See you next time. if you’re alive It was really fun.”
The manager’s body faltered again and turned into a little pigeon.
hold on hold on hold on
The pigeon, who shook its head for a moment and stared at Jaejoo Kim, flew into the sky as soon as possible.
At the same time, all the landscapes that had stopped came back.
Kim Jae-joo’s body, relieved of tension, began to tilt.
“Lachanta!”
Palaham, who had a bewildered expression on his face, widened his eyes and ran to Jaejoo Kim.
