EP.48 Park Shin-hoo in Crisis (2)

“Kuaek!!”

– Splash! Splatter! –

Park Shin-hoo, with his hands on the ground, continued to vomit mud incessantly while lying face down.

Indescribable disgust and bitterness filled him from his stomach to his head.

“Then where…”

– Swish swish. –

Credo, with a smile full of anticipation, walked quietly behind Park Shin-hoo.

His gaze was fixed on Park Shin-hoo’s buttocks.

“Shall we check the texture?!”

Credo struck Park Shin-hoo’s buttocks with his large hand.

– Crack!! –

An enormous sound reverberated throughout the area.

“Ttahahng!!!”

Unbelievable screams erupted from Park Shin-hoo’s mouth.

“W-what the hell!!”

The commotion quickly gathered the scattered thugs who had been searching for herbs.

“S-Shin-hoo!!!”

“Who the hell are you!!!”

“Oh~?!”

Credo rolled his eyes and quickly scanned the approaching faces.

“Hmm.”

Unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be any men worthy of being dessert.

“It’s all yours.”

The food left by Credo was always for his subordinates.

“You guys can divide it among yourselves.”

– Pababapat! –

“As expected of Captain Angel!”

“We’ll enjoy it!”

“Uhyooh!!”

From the bushes, the ground, and the dense trees.

Demons wearing ties emerged and quickly surrounded Park Shin-hoo’s thugs.

“Hu, huk!”

“W-where!?”

“What!? Don’t come any closer!!!”

As the Demons gradually closed in, the thugs drew their weapons, leaning on each other.

– Swish! Thwack! –

However, there was no predator afraid of the prey’s claws.

“It’s been a while since we had young blood.”

“The big one’s mine!”

“Then I’ll take the skinny one!”

– Whack! –

– Crack! –

“Ttahuhuk!!”

“Ttahahng!!!”

“Kyaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!”

In an instant, the thugs found themselves in the same situation as Park Shin-hoo.

“K-Kuheuk…”

Park Shin-hoo gritted his teeth at their miserable sight.

“Useless fools!”

In the end, the only thing he could trust to get through this situation was himself.

Park Shin-hoo grabbed his still queasy stomach and strengthened his trembling legs.

“Oh my♥. Is the vomiting over now?”

– Pueeok!! –

However, Credo didn’t let Park Shin-hoo get up like that.

– Kwak!! –

“Kuheuk..!!”

With his head pressed down by Credo, Park Shin-hoo groaned as his cheek scraped against the dirt floor.

“Stay still, darling♥”

– Thud! –

With a flick of his finger, Credo caused crimson tentacles to emerge from the ground, binding Park Shin-hoo’s limbs to the ground.

“W-what!? Kuheuk!”

It was a binding technique using A+ class magic.

Credo looked down at the completely immobilized Park Shin-hoo and whispered stickily.

“Now we can properly enjoy ourselves, right?”

“Huk!!!”

Park Shin-hoo instinctively sensed it.

Refusing to resist would only further sully his own soul.

“No, stop!!!”

“If you don’t like it, resist♥”

“Ku, uaahhh!!”

Park Shin-hoo shook his body vigorously and struggled with all his might.

“Ugh, ugh!!”

However, Park Shin-hoo’s entire body remained as still as if it were pinned to a rock, without any movement.

“Hu, hueeok!”

As Park Shin-hoo’s face turned pale, Credo stretched his black lips into a long grin and sneered.

“If you don’t resist, are you going in willingly? Am I mistaken? Indeed. Even though you say you dislike it on the surface, aren’t you secretly anticipating it? Yourself?”

“No, nooooo!!!!!!”

Park Shin-hoo exerted even more force and struggled harder.

But his writhing only whetted Credo’s appetite even more.

“Very fresh. It’ll be chewy.”

Credo licked his lips and reached for Park Shin-hoo’s waistband.

“S-stop it!!!”

Just as Credo’s hand was about to delve into Park Shin-hoo’s waistband.

*Kwaaaaa!!!

“!?”

As if in response to Park Shin-hoo’s scream, a mass of earth shot up like a spear towards Credo.

“What is this!?”

– Pababapk! –

– Thud! –

Credo barely managed to dodge the spear of earth and stepped back significantly.

– Thwack! –

Standing about 3m away from Park Shin-hoo, Credo looked at the earth pillars that had risen with round eyes.

“Oh… I didn’t expect such a move..”

The spear of earth that had risen without warning.

It was undoubtedly spirit magic.

“That was an excellent ambush.”

If his reaction had been a bit slower, he would have ended up with several annoying holes in his body.

Even the magic that was restraining him was severed as the earth erupted.

“K-kuh! You…! How dare you…!”

Grabbing onto the earth pillars, Park Shin-hoo rose with a determined expression.

“There’s no way someone like me would fall for this in a place like this!”

The efforts made while engulfed in earth bore dramatic fruit, saving both his life and soul.

Park Shin-hoo’s passionate plea, as he pressed his body against the condensed earth floor, moved the spirits’ hearts.

The earth around him felt like an extension of his body.

The spirits were lending Park Shin-hoo their strength and senses.

‘With this…!’

Park Shin-hoo tore off the magic energy clinging to his wrists and ankles and forcefully spun his foot.

– Thud! –

“A reversal of fortune! You bastard!!!”

– Kwaaaaa!! –

As Park Shin-hoo vigorously rolled his foot, the ground surged fiercely like a wolf’s jaws, charging towards Credo.

“That’s the end of hiding, right♥?”

“?”

“Is there nothing else?”

But Credo was suddenly behind Park Shin-hoo.

– Kwaaack!! –

Credo grabbed Park Shin-hoo’s neck from behind and lifted him high.

“Ku, kueuk!?”

“No matter how impressive your skills are, what’s the use if you can’t hit them?”

“Ku, kekeuk!!”

Park Shin-hoo scratched at Credo’s hand and struggled.

– Crunch! Crunch! –

He tried to escape using spirit magic, but unlike before, the ground didn’t move.

‘This guy…!! Injecting magic into my body…!’

Credo had injected magic into Park Shin-hoo’s circuits, disrupting the connection with the spirits.

“The earth game is over now♥”

“K-kuhuuuk!!”

“Now, shall we play like adults?”

“Uuuhhhh!!!”

At the chilling keyword ‘adult play’, Park Shin-hoo thrashed about as if having a seizure.

– Thud! Thud! –

“Hmm….”

As Park Shin-hoo’s earth-covered feet dirtied his tie, Credo frowned in displeasure.

“Should I break a few more legs to weaken your spirit?”

It wouldn’t matter if he lost a couple of legs. As long as his mouth was alive when taken to the upper ranks.

“It might sting a bit.”

Credo clenched his fist and lifted the crimson magic, intending to break Park Shin-hoo’s spine with one blow and paralyze his legs.

“Gooo….”

It was at that moment when Credo exerted all his strength to crush Park Shin-hoo’s lumbar spine.

“It’s Credo. A profitable one has arrived.”

“Hm?”

A hoarse voice murmured Credo’s name unexpectedly.

“What?”

Credo turned his head towards the voice that had suddenly called his name.

“Hu, huaak!!”

Then he screamed in horror.

It was because the appearance of the voice’s owner was so grotesque beyond words.

“Mo, monsterrrr!?!?”

– Shuuuu…. –

His muscles, swollen with excitement, instantly stiffened.

No matter how strong one’s libido might be, no one could maintain arousal in the presence of such a grotesque creature.

A twisted body, bubbling red skin.

Facial features buried in that red flesh.

Such a grotesque appearance that could haunt one’s nightmares for a lifetime.

Truly, a man who seemed more like a monster than a Demon.

Credo screamed at Kang Seo-joon.

“Uaahhh!!! It’s horrifying!!!”

Credo had never had tolerance for creepy things like bugs.

“Aaaahh!! I can’t erase the image from my mind!!! I want to forget!! I want to forget!!!”

Credo agonized, grabbing his own eyes.

If he could go back, he desperately wished to return to three seconds before he saw Kang Seo-joon.

– Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! –

Ignoring Credo’s reaction, Kang Seo-joon approached him confidently.

“Drop that.”

Kang Seo-joon pointed at Park Shin-hoo.

It was necessary to drop him before the guy destroyed Park Shin-hoo.

It didn’t matter if Park Shin-hoo’s youthfulness was compromised, but it was still inconvenient for the experience shuttle to be disabled.

“Hee, heeheeek!! Don’t come near!!!”

However, Kang Seo-joon’s words didn’t reach Credo.

In Credo’s eyes, Kang Seo-joon was just an undead monster who had suddenly appeared.

There was no one listening to the undead’s groans.

Swinging Park Shin-hoo like a baton, Credo ordered his underling behind him.

“Wh-what…!”

“M-my boys!!! Quickly get rid of that hideous creature in front of me!!!”

“As you command!”

– Pabababap! –

Without any hesitation, the ambushers abandoned their toys and charged towards Kang Seo-joon as if shooting at him.

“You’re interrupting our happy time!”

“Where did this undead monster come from!?”

“Angel Leader dislikes disgusting things!”

In just three seconds, the ambushers closed the distance, targeting all of Kang Seo-joon’s vital points.

“Ho.”

Kang Seo-joon calmly watched as the ambushers approached in slow motion, then he flicked a switch in his mind.

[Skill 《Counter Time 》 activated.]

[Critical hit! Lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital point!]

[Critical hit! Lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital point!]

[Critical hit! Lucky strike hits the enemy’s vital point!]

– Thud! –

– Thwack! –

– Crunch! –

– Pabababap! –

“W-what!?”

The Demons, who had rushed in aggressively, were struck by Kang Seo-joon’s eerie movements and fell to the ground together.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh…! Habitual dislocation…!”

“Ugh…! The place where I had surgery a month ago…!”

The fallen Demons writhed on the ground for a while, unable to get up.

“W-what is this!!”

Credo’s features, already grotesque, widened in disbelief.

‘Even though I’m an A+ rank…! I couldn’t predict any of his movements…!?’

Park Shin-hoo, hanging limply in Credo’s hands, was equally shocked.

‘Ugh..!? He-he even took down active hunters in one blow…!’

If they’re targeting me, the heir of the Taesan Group, they should at least be professional B rank or higher.

To take them down in one blow at a speed that I can’t even follow with my eyes.

Such performance is beyond what even my sister, Park Seo-yoon, an A rank hunter, can achieve.

‘I thought he was hiding his strength…! He’s A rank or higher…!?

‘Wh-what on earth happened!? What suddenly popped out!!!’

As the two men were shocked, their eyes and mouths fluttered.

‘What’s the bottom line with all this.’

Kang Seo-joon calmly surveyed the Demons lying on the ground, estimating the value.

The Demons’ weapons, armor, accessories.

Their arms, legs, muscles, tendons, bones, organs.

There was nothing in his eyes that wasn’t worth something.

Even behind them, he could see Credo, an A+ rank Demon.

‘He has a high rank and a large body, so there’s a lot to sell. He’s worth a lot.’

If Credo’s equipment and corpse were sold in the dimensional shop, there would be countless things that could be done with dimensional currency.

You could buy potions to increase your abilities, or buy skills or equipment to enhance your combat power.

‘It’s making my mouth water.’

Kang Seo-joon’s plan to gain maximum profit through fishy dealings.

The first fruits of that plan were already being borne.
