RUST -905

The vines of death pulled out the daggers from the dagger belt that Maru was wearing. All twenty daggers were wrapped around the ends of the vines and began to swing like whips.

As if he had read the ominous atmosphere, the man calling himself Gadama Keichi pushed his escort and secretary back.

“Stop. Put your weapons down and step back.”

“But, Chairman, it’s dangerous.”

“Communication has been lost.”

Even the man who had ignored the escort’s words flinched when the secretary said that the communication had been cut off. The fact that the communication had been cut off meant that the planned operation had failed.

He lowered his head toward the floor with a straight and clean face, as if he had never been serious. His expression was natural, as if he had not noticed the entrails and blood clots scattered everywhere as one of the guards was split in half.

“The security guard was rude. I sincerely apologize.”

“······.”

That was the identity of the sense of discomfort that Maru had felt from the beginning. The sense of discomfort he felt when he greeted her calmly without any fear, even though he had watched the live broadcast.

Just now, it happened again. When the bodyguard got in the way, he didn’t stop him even though he could have. It was as if he was thinking, ‘He wouldn’t kill me?’, ‘He wouldn’t kill the bodyguard.’

Anyway, I was trying to poke him lightly to confirm his identity, but unfortunately, the bodyguard got involved and ended up getting separated.

“I’m truly sorry.”

The guy bowed again. Maru paid no attention to his calm and shameless manner, and looked around.

Something was strange. Even though his colleague had died, he showed no signs of regret or resentment. The bodyguard and secretary were staring at the floor with tense nerves.

I noticed that they were all only thinking about the chairman’s safety. Is this normal? Maru asked, his eyebrows twitching involuntarily.

“So. What are you? Why do monsters crawl all the way here?”

The guy answered Maru’s question right away.

“I received the name Geichi from the Gadama family. The monsters… are believed to have come in pursuit of refugees. Did that answer your question? I hope you understand.”

The so-called Gadama said this while looking at the vines that spread out in the sky and the daggers that were swinging.

“Please, I would appreciate it if you could put that dangerous thing away for a moment.”

At the sight of the vines of death looking around as if they were afraid, Maru let out a long breath and the corners of his mouth opened, revealing his teeth.

‘You didn’t even blink an eye when you saw the video of the slaughter. Why are you suddenly acting so shameless and scared? You were so fearless when a person was cut up alive just a moment ago? Does this kid think I’m a cripple?’

As I summoned the Vine of Death, my senses became sharper and I could hear my secretary whispering, ‘Communication has been cut off.’ So if I could communicate, I guess she was preparing to do something.

Maru didn’t wonder what the preparation was. He only wondered about one thing. What was in this little brat’s head.

“So the reason the monsters are coming here is because of the refugees?”

“Yes. Please···.”

‘This kid is through. Okay. Let’s just take his head after cutting off his limbs.’ As soon as Maru made up his mind, the vines responded. With a burst of air, more than 20 vines tore in all directions.

Kwajik- Kwajijijik-

The vines were blocked by a transparent barrier, indicating that there was a person with the ability to defend. As expected, the bastard’s escorts and secretary were people with the ability.

The secretary next to him screamed.

“What is this! Is it okay for Korea to be destroyed?!”

Korea is destroyed?

So, I don’t know what it is, but it’s to the point where Korea is going to be destroyed.

So you’ve been hiding that until now. Without the Korean government knowing. Right?

Maru pulled out more vines. In an instant, dozens of black vines shot up from the shadow connecting Maru’s feet.

Questions and answers are useless.

As long as your head is sane, there’s no need to listen to nonsense. The bastard’s secretary shouted, realizing that Maru was going to sweep it away.

“Mr. Chairman!”

“Cheek! Calm down and let’s talk it out! Talk it out! You idiot!”

As the vines swarmed, the secretary hugged the man who was swearing at the floor. Then, the space shook and the man and the secretary disappeared.

“Teleport?”

“Die, you little monster!”

As the chairman and his secretary escaped, the bodyguards each demonstrated their abilities.

Boom- Boom-

The explosion of fire was intercepted midway by the vines of death.

Swish- Swish-

Even if sharp iron points were shot, they could not penetrate the vine leaves and were crushed in midair.

“I’ll tear this thing apart–AAAAAHHH!”

A man wearing thick gauntlets tried to tear off a vine, but it slowly withered away. He was saved by a guard nearby.

“If you touch those tentacles, your life will be sucked out!”

“Be careful not to get caught by the tentacles.”

“It’s a tentacle that sucks life force.”

Most of them were those with awakened physical abilities, but there were also those with shield abilities and those with telekinesis abilities. These various abilities began to attack Maru as if they were one body.

“Die!”

“Stop it!”

“Get the tentacles out of the way!”

Even though you watched the live broadcast, you still rush in with these abilities?

Are you so loyal that you would give up your own life?

Would you be loyal to a guy who immediately disrespects his bodyguard who died in his stead?

‘Was the chairman mentally ill?’

Maru’s eyes sank heavily.

Wooooow-

Newclips, who had been quiet until then, began to tremble as if he could not bear the feast before him.

“When you’re going to do it, do it. Do it properly when you’re told to do it.”

The floor, ignoring the vibrations of Newclips, unfolded a black garden.

■-Lyric-■■

Jji-■-Iiik■

▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮

At the same time, as if asking when he had stopped crying, Newclips suddenly stopped vibrating and began to sing, ‘I am just a sword.’

Honey-

The space opened up and a secretary came out, hugging Gadama Keichi.

Kuweeeeek-

The secretary and Geichi bent their backs and vomited.

“Crazy! Stupid! Woofwoof!”

“Ugh- Chairman. We have to get out of here quickly. Ugh!”

The longer the distance and the greater the weight, the more severe the recoil. The secretary shook her head desperately to regain her senses.

If he had moved alone, he could have gone several times farther, but if he had moved with a chairman who weighed 1.5 times his own weight, he wouldn’t be able to go very far.

The secretary, who had barely calmed down her shaking vision, looked around. After quickly looking around, she saw that it was an empty rooftop with no one there.

It was good that we moved to the rooftop where there were no people for safety, but… A thought suddenly occurred to me. What about the airship that the King of the Holy Kingdom rode in? It probably hasn’t taken off yet, right?

I looked up at the sky and saw a white airship floating high above me and a flock of crows circling around it.

If they were wild crows in the wild, they would have attacked the airship. They wouldn’t have surrounded it in a circle like that.

The secretary remembered information about the Holy Kingdom. Information about the crows, wolves, and rats that they had taken away the crows and magpies from Korea last winter.

“Chairman, it’s dangerous! You must run away immediately.”

Despite the secretary’s urgent shouts, the chairman continued to mutter like a crazy person.

“He’s not human. A human wouldn’t be able to do this.”

Gadama was so shocked that he couldn’t come to his senses.

“Why? Why? Why doesn’t it work!”

He had a different ability than the average psychic. It was his affinity for humans. The reason he was able to enter the Gadama family from the bottom of nowhere was because of his unique affinity.

Even before the world changed this much, he had an exceptionally friendly personality. He made regular customers with just his pleasant first impression, and he gained trust with his pleasant voice.

As the great disasters struck and he endured and overcame several near-death crises, his friendliness transformed into a unique ability.

Affinity, which is expressed naturally without consuming mental or physical power, like a passive skill, played a decisive role in building up power.

His friendliness extended not only to those with Awakened Abilities, but also to cannibals. Even cannibals who viewed people as livestock did not view him as livestock when dealing with him, but as a companion animal.

“If he were human, he wouldn’t have attacked me.”

If he were human, he would have talked to me.

therefore.

“That guy is not human. The president of Korea called him not human.”

“I was planning on summoning a fucking monster and killing them all.”

The secretary, holding the chairman’s hand as he muttered something incomprehensible, ran towards the stairs leading down.

Kaaaak!

Caw- caw!

Two people running desperately to escape the sound of crows getting closer suddenly stopped.

“······.”

“······.”

There were vines of death sprouting up from the blackened door, which had been encroached upon at some point.

“To the fire escape···.”

“······.”

The secretary turned around and froze in place. The Garden of Death, which had been pushed up onto the rooftop, was surrounding them.

“Mr. Chairman, you have to run right away.”

“······.”

The secretary, who had been biting her lip, used teleportation while hugging the chairman’s body. The two people jumped over the shaky space and fell onto the roof of a building a block away, vomiting and passing out.

“Uuuup- Chairman. Uweak- You have to run away.”

The secretary, who had collapsed and was unable to control her body, shouted desperately, but the chairman had already lost his mind.

“Kooup- Where?-”

The secretary’s vision blurred by the recoil. When she raised her head, rubbing her eyes, she saw blackness engulfing all around.

“······.”

“······.”

The vines of death that engulfed all the surrounding buildings, the sky filled with crows, and even a swarm of black rats swarming around.

‘Oh my god.’

The secretary called out to a god she did not believe in.

One minute? No, maybe two minutes? The entire area around the base was covered in death. The building where the power users were gathered and the building where the armed troops were waiting were all eaten up by the garden of death.

There were no gunshots, no explosions. The only sound in the deadly silence was the cawing of crows.

“I didn’t get as far as I thought.”

A calm voice was heard. Its voice.

The secretary clenched his jaw again. His instincts were refusing to use his powers as reaction after reaction piled up.

I have to run away.

where?

Anywhere.

At least the chairman had to be rescued.

“Chairman, this way.”

“······.”

The chairman sat there as if he had lost his mind, unaware of the secretary’s desperate situation. The moment the secretary gathered all her remaining strength to hug the chairman, both of her arms disappeared.

uh?

Then the sky spun around.

I saw crows flying in large circles in the blue sky.

Binggle.

Blades of grass and vines of death were seen blooming on the black earth spread out in all directions.

Binggle.

He saw his own back, with both arms cut off. Headless.

Tung-

Vision starting to blur again.

A thought that suddenly occurred to me in my hazy consciousness.

‘How did it turn out like this?’

‘Since when did you say you would live as the chairman’s secretary?’

It was a meaningless question now, but the secretary suddenly had a question in her fading consciousness.

Maru chased after the chairman and secretary who had escaped through teleportation.

“Stop it!”

“We must prevent them from going to the Chairman!”

The ability users desperately tried to block the way in front of Maru, but they were all cleared away by the lines of death vines and blades of grass.

Kaaaak! (found over there)

Kaaaak! (It’s the rooftop.)

Cackle! (It’s gone!)

Caw! Caw! (Appeared from the roof of a building about a block away.)

The moment I thought about going that way, the vines lifted the floor beneath my feet.

The vines of death squirmed like living snakes, burning the floor and heading towards the rooftop.

The scene showed the chairman looking dazed and the secretary desperately trying to teleport through space while trying to hug the chairman.

‘I don’t like hide and seek.’

As Maru’s thoughts passed, the vines shot out and cut off both of the secretary’s arms.

‘Isn’t the head enough?’

The secretary’s head was cut off. Even though the secretary died right in front of his nose, the chairman was mumbling and escaping from reality.

Tsk-

As Maru, who had been clicking his tongue, turned his head, a vine with a dagger attached to it swung towards the chairman’s neck.

Bubbles rose from the brain that was floating around.

Pogurruruk-

The voice was so loud that it made the sound of the bubbles rising pale in comparison.

“Isn’t this guy crazy?”

Ki-sun screamed as he watched the images extracted from Gadama Keichi’s brain.
