Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 153



Only Krnovel

Episode 153

Hyung-in doubted his own ears.

“… You’re going to save me?”

“Yes. If you just tell me everything you know.”

“… … !”

It was a radical proposal.

Because right after Youngsoo started swinging his blood, Hyungin didn’t even expect to survive.

‘I can live with this… … .’

For a split second, Hyung-in almost fell for Young-soo’s suggestion.

But my brother didn’t do that.

‘Yeah, I guess I’ll let you live.’

But if there was even the slightest suspicion or something was wrong, they would immediately torture you.

Because that’s the way it is.

‘Of course I have the sensory deprivation skill, but… … .’

The problem is that a killer like Cheon Yeong-su would know how to inflict pain by bypassing sensory deprivation.

In the end, the older brother thought that torture would be inflicted in some way.

The killer himself has been like that up until now, and the guy in front of him is also a killer.

So I had to do the math.

Would a life filled with torture be better than just dying now?

‘no.’

Sometimes there is death that is better than life.

At least that’s what Hyung-in thought at that moment.

Rather than continue living while enduring all kinds of torture, I would rather die here.

My brother decided so.

So now there was only one thing to do.

Outburst.

‘There’s nothing I can do.’

Hyung-in opened the lid of the medicine bottle in his pocket.

Then he took out the small pill inside and put it in his mouth in one gulp.

It was a complicated move, but it was done in the blink of an eye.

This was possible because Salsu was the top-ranked speed hunter in all classes.

Even Youngsoo couldn’t stop this movement.

‘This kid… …!’

Yeongsu quickly raised his sword and tried to strike Hyung-in.

At that moment.

Rain.

My brother chewed the pill.

The crushed pills began to be absorbed before they even passed down my throat.

Sssssss… … .

The medicinal effects began to take effect.

The biggest change occurred in the senses.

Everything that was sensed began to be amplified.

I began to hear sounds I hadn’t heard before, to see details I hadn’t noticed before, and to feel dust and particles of air on my skin.

And then everything started to slow down.

To be exact, everything started to seem slow.

It’s like looking at the world through a high-speed camera.

The result was that the speed of senses and thinking increased dramatically due to the drug’s effects.

This was a combat-grade version of the drug distributed by Hyung-in, an accident accelerator.

A drug that dramatically accelerates the speed of thought in your head.

When used during battle, it becomes possible to capture the opponent’s weak points that would normally be unseen, and to calculate all possible scenarios in an instant.

Of course, the price is heinous.

As the drug wears off, the backlash causes random and widespread damage to the nervous system.

Because once you take an accident accelerator, you can never go back to your previous state.

Like all other psychotropic drugs.

But Hyung-in’s determination was firm.

He said that he would kill Youngsoo even if it meant destroying himself.

If I can’t kill you, I’ll at least cause you irreparable damage.

With everything he had, Hyung-in swallowed the accident accelerator.

Hyung-in looked at Young-soo.

Youngsoo’s movements seemed infinitely slow.

From the crown of Youngsu’s head to the tips of his toes, all movements occurring there were recognized simultaneously and comprehensively.

The direction of vision, the contraction and relaxation of muscles, the rhythm of breathing, even the swaying of body hair.

At this moment, there was no one who knew everything about Youngsu as much as Hyung-in did.

Hyung-in calculated.

By combining all this data, Hyung-in tried to figure out the best move to take down Young-soo.

I will kill you with that one counterattack.

Even if I have to perish.

The calculations were soon completed.

At this very moment, the best move to harm Youngsoo is-

There was no such thing.

‘what……?’

There was no gap in Youngsoo’s movements.

There was no gap that could be exploited with Hyung-in’s exact skills.

Therefore, what Hyung-in had to calculate now was not how to counterattack.

It was a way to survive even if one place was blown up.

‘shit……!’

Shit, shit, shit, shit!

‘What kind of monster is that…?’

Thump.

The sword touched.

Hyung-in felt a pressure pressing down on his body terribly.

The third form of the bloodletting machine, red destruction.

A shockwave that crushed and crushed the target burst from the tip of Youngsu’s sword.

Kwaaaaang!

The floor gave way and the older brother fell down.

His body fell all the way to the second floor underground in one breath.

“Oh, you hit me a little hard.”

Youngsoo said, looking down the hole.

“Hey, are you alive?”

Of course, there was no answer.

“You know there’s something alive there, huh?”

At that time, something that his older brother had left behind caught Youngsoo’s eye.

My brother’s right arm was lying next to the hole.

Just before Youngsoo’s sword hit him, Hyung-in barely managed to stretch out his arm and disperse the impact a little.

The damage was reduced by sacrificing one arm.

As a result, one of his arms was torn off and was left rolling around on the floor.

That was the best move my brother could make after taking the accident accelerator.

Youngsoo muttered as he looked down at his severed arm.

“It reminds me of old times.”

Among the opponents I fought in the past, there was one who did something like this.

Ma Hyun-woo.

A cadet of the Hongryeon Guild who was once praised as the greatest genius.

But he is an idiot who was abandoned by the guild after failing in the quest to change jobs.

However, after that, he was reborn as a mine through a contract with the devil and had a showdown with Yeongsu.

The duel ended with Ma Hyeon-woo barely escaping by sacrificing one arm.

The arm that Ma Hyeon-woo obtained in this way was put to good use by Yeong-su during the war with the elves.

And actually, what’s more important than this severed arm is-

“Oh, the formless sword.”

The severed arm is holding one of the Irwin’s formless swords.

Since the poison sword was also broken, Yeongsu immediately grabbed a formless sword.

Anyway-

“This little shit really doesn’t have an answer.”

Fighting-

Youngsoo activated echolocation down the hole.

however…….

“uh?”

Echolocation wasn’t working properly.

The shapes of the objects in the darkness below the hole were not captured at all.

“what?”

It felt like looking into a hazy fog.

There was no other way.

Youngsoo jumped down the hole to check the situation.

Phew.

Youngsoo landed on the floor below the hole.

It was only when I came down that I could tell.

Why didn’t echolocation work?

“… So that’s why it was like this.”

Highly reflective silver powder was scattered everywhere like fog.

Echolocation is a skill that reads the mana waves that bounce off an object.

However, if there is a lot of highly reflective material sprayed into the air, the mana wavelength is scattered.

Someone had sprinkled this powder there, targeting this area.

“You used your head a bit.”

But Youngsoo had a technique to chew through the darkness other than echolocation.

Pfft!

When Youngsoo flicked his gloved hand, a sphere of light appeared.

Yeongsu floated a sphere of light into the air, illuminating the darkness.

But there was nothing Yeongsu was looking for here.

“Where did that little bastard Chuhyung-in go?”

My brother had disappeared somewhere.

All that’s left is a trail of blood where he fell, a bottle of medicine, and the remaining formless sword.

Yeongsu picked up the invisible sword first.

“You even let this slide? I’m glad.”

With this, a complete pair of Irwin’s formless swords came into Youngsoo’s hands.

“But why didn’t this guy, Chuhyung, use his special ability even though he had this weapon?”

The invisibility of the blade wasn’t all there was to the Invisible Sword.

Because the truly terrifying power of the Formless Sword was something else.

So Youngsoo was curious as to why Hyungin didn’t use that power… … .

“Ah, it’s not that I didn’t use my special ability, I just couldn’t use it.”

When I opened the item information window for the Formless Sword Erwin, I could see why.

—-

[Intangible Sword Erwin][Lv.90][6 Stars]

Physical Attack Power +1,280

Magic attack power +600

Special ability: Probability realization.

—-

…the realization of probability.

Is this the end?

Is there something that leaves out too much explanation?

“If you write it like this, no one will know, what the… … .”

This was the first time Youngsoo had seen the information window of the Intangible Sword in such detail.

In the game, Youngsoo first encountered the Formless Sword during the war with the machines.

Because back then I fought a robot with an invisible sword.

At that time, I had learned all the ways to use the Formless Sword while getting hit, so I skipped over the explanation in the information window without properly reading it.

“Okay, that’s enough about weapons. Next is… … .”

Yeongsu opened the lid of the medicine bottle and smelled it to see what kind of medicine it was.

“Huh? This?”

Youngsoo realized that it was an accident accelerator.

“This is a potion I was trying to make somehow… I’m lucky.”

After taking the medicine bottle, I looked around again.

It was to find traces left behind by my older brother.

‘If he had run away, whether by walking or running, he would have left a trail of blood.’

Youngsoo looked around desperately to find other bloodstains left on the floor.

At that moment, something placed in the middle of the room caught Youngsoo’s eye.

A small jar with a leather-sealed opening.

A curse burst out of Youngsoo’s mouth.

“Fuck.”

Kwaaang!

The jar exploded.

The name of this is .

A bomb item that anyone can make as long as they have the ingredients and recipe.

Although it required more materials and had a more complex process than a wall bomb, its explosive power was unparalleled.

Kookookookook!

After an explosion rocked the room.

The walls, ceiling, and pillars all collapsed.

One whole floor of the basement had collapsed.

Fortunately, Youngsu was not involved.

Because right before the explosion, he quickly escaped upstairs through a hole in the ceiling.

“Tch… … .”

There were no injuries.

But the problem was that the site was destroyed by the explosion.

‘It will be difficult to track it any further like this… … .’

It wasn’t just that the scene was damaged.

The floor itself has completely collapsed.

To track it in that condition, you would have to dig into the ground, practically to the point of excavation.

Of course it was possible.

Because you can use your blood.

However, there was no guarantee that excavation would enable tracking within a short period of time.

And I couldn’t waste my energy here any longer.

Above all… … .

“Ugh… … !”

Screams began to erupt in my head again.

The side effects of the blood jade had begun.

Extreme pain that cannot be offset by sensory deprivation skills.

Yeongsu sealed the blood jade again with the Holy Sword’s protective shield.

“… I guess I’ll be satisfied with just losing one arm for now.”

Even at this level, it will be difficult to go somewhere and start another fight right away.

Youngsoo decided to wrap things up here.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that all the discomfort went away.

First of all, the most uncomfortable point right now is… … .

“They say there was third party intervention.”

Echolocation jamming powder, and even a fire jar.

They were never used by my brother.

Especially the fire jars.

This is because Salsu had a wall bomb that was much easier to use and make.

So the sudden appearance of these obstacles meant one thing.

Someone intervened in this situation and rescued Hyung-in.

‘What kind of guy is he?’

But nothing came to mind right away.

“… Let’s go back for now.”

Youngsoo picked up his brother’s severed arm and went out of the hotel.

* * *

“Ugh… … .”

Hyung-in barely opened his eyes.

My vision was blurry and my ears were ringing.

And above all, there was no place on my body that didn’t hurt.

I think it was because of the shock when falling.

“Where is this… … ?”

This was a narrow room I had never seen before.

My brother was lying on a hard bed.

And at the foot of the bed was a young man standing.

A man with one eye and one arm.

The man asked.

“Are you awake, Mr. Chuhyung?”

“Who, who… … .”

“The person who rescued you from that hotel.”

“what……?”

“I’ve always been hanging around you. But today, something unexpected happened, so I had to bring you here a little early. I escaped through the underground sewer.”

“You… saved me?”

“Yes. And since you even destroyed the entire floor with a fire jar, they wouldn’t have been able to chase you.”

“Fire jar? What are you talking about… … .”

“Wow, but I never thought that bastard Cheon Yeong-su would suddenly show up here. Well, thanks to that, things were easy.”

“Who the hell are you?”

“Don’t you remember?”

The man said, sticking his face in.

“It’s me, Ma Hyun-woo.”
