Episode 76:
Tiring.
[Skill use has been detected. I was caught in domination of the five senses (S). It resists with mysterious power. Resistance was successful.]
‘Curse?’
Chii Iik.
Taehyun stopped moving at the message that appeared before his eyes.
I looked around.
Except for a few old houses, it is a deserted place.
That’s when Taehyun uses his energy to track down his opponent.
A man appeared from behind a collapsed abandoned house.
It was a face in my memory.
“What is the skill from earlier? “Did you use it?”
Taehyun asked, checking the condition.
Height of about 170 cm with a muscular body.
It was Masahiko Kimura, one of the Japanese national team members.
A Japanese sword was tied to his waist.
“Taehyun Kim. “I finally got it.”
He walked in front of Taehyun without hesitation.
He was convinced that his skills had been caught.
S-rank skill ‘dominance of the five senses’:
sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste.
If you put your mind to it, you can get rid of them all.
“hey. I came to hunt Mine. “There’s no need for us to do this, right?”
Taehyun protested against the sudden attack.
Still, I didn’t forget to check his expression.
‘Is this just a check?’
Although it is a friendly battle, the national interest is at stake.
Some of the national team do dirty things to win.
It was also an open secret that all participants knew.
‘Well, the fewer competitors the better.’
But that’s not to say.
‘This guy seems to have a different reason.’
It is common to use skills while moving.
However, Masahiko Kimura even revealed his true identity.
‘They are not attacking right away.’
Notorious for having executed numerous demons with a skill that dominated the opponent’s five senses and a Japanese sword.
I was skeptical because it was different from what I was used to.
Rather, his expression became more and more distorted as he listened to Taehyun’s words.
“Oh my. no need? How dare you…”
It was like a volcano about to explode.
Masahiko Kimura is having a fever by himself.
Taehyun’s face as he looked at him gradually changed as if he didn’t understand anything.
A person you talk to for the first time.
An S-rank skill that has already been activated.
Angry facial expression and tone of voice.
Japan has not been selected yet.
That time when Taehyun was trying to solve a puzzle that didn’t work.
Masahiko Kimura opened his mouth again.
“I clearly watched you insult Yoshikawa Tsurara.”
“….”
“But you’re not planning on turning away, are you?!!”
Sreung.
Finally, a sharp-colored Japanese sword was chosen.
Masahiko Kimura, Japan’s S-rank player and one of the national team members.
His skills are intermediate to that of an S-rank player.
Taehyun sighed slightly as he looked at the unique grade Japanese sword he had drawn.
‘Now that I think about it, this guy was also a follower of the saint.’
I remembered a brief meeting I had at a hotel before the opening game.
Taehyeon flatly rejected the saint’s offer.
Although he did it because he knew that her thoughts were subversive.
It was up to each person to accept their actions.
“You insulted a saint. “It’s an illusion.”
“Don’t put Tsurara’s name in your dirty mouth.”
“….”
Taehyun shook his head.
‘This seems like a pseudo-religion.’
The power of a created image is beyond imagination.
The power of the name saint in Japan is sufficient to explain its meaning.
A being that was similar to faith was met with impunity.
To Masahiko Kimura, who did not know the true identity of the saint, Taehyeon was a criminal who deserved to be torn to death.
‘Should I deal with it?’
Taehyun needed to take responsibility for the current situation.
“He’s a guy who doesn’t communicate well. So what do you want?”
“Do the dogeza.”
Dogeja(土下座).
He kneels down and prostrates himself to apologize for his mistakes.
A typical Japanese way of apologizing.
He is spouting off those humiliating methods without any hesitation.
‘Dogejara.’
Taehyun started laughing without realizing it.
It’s the first day of friendly competition.
In the long run, there is no harm in dealing with Masahiko Kimura.
Since there were no eyes to see, it didn’t look bad as a stage.
“What’s funny?”
“Oh, I’m sorry if I offended you. “What can I say about this… I never even thought about it.”
Crack.
Masahiko Kimura bit his teeth.
“What is the answer?”
Taehyun clicked his tongue and snapped his fingers.
“Tsk tsk. Even though he is a representative of the country, he is a Doge. “That’s not possible.”
“I knew you would say that. “In friendly matches, injuries of some kind often occur.”
Masahiko Kimura poured magical energy into the Japanese sword he had drawn.
S-grade skill ‘dominance of the five senses’ and B-grade skill ‘weapon enhancement’.
Five senses.
It goes without saying that it is an important sense that is essential for human life.
Especially if you are an S-class player whose senses are more sensitive than the average awakened person.
Perhaps the failure of the five senses to function properly could lead to panic and self-destruction.
In other words, with just one skill called mastery of the five senses.
Masahiko Kimura was a talented player worthy of playing for the national team.
but.
The only bad thing was that the opponent was Taehyun, who was immune to most skills.
“If you don’t like it… I’ll order it myself!!”
Masahiko Kimura clenched his fists.
A unique gesture that blocks out all five senses of the other person.
Thinking that Taehyun had been caught in the domination of his five senses, he quickly rushed to him.
Taehyun, who did not even pull out the talisman, watched quietly.
and.
Tiring.
[Skill Knight King’s Awe (B) has been activated. Specify the target. Output 50%.]
Kugu Palace.
A huge force crushed Masahiko Kimura.
It was as if a different gravitational force was acting on me alone.
dump.
He ran with sudden force and hit the ground.
“What….”
[Output 60%… Output 70%….]
Clang.
A unilaterally crushing force.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
The power of cruel rejection.
Taehyun’s magic stat exceeds 200.
It was already at a level that a single S-rank player could not deal with.
In the end, Masahiko Kimura’s head began to bow little by little as the output became stronger.
Wow.
It reached the ground.
“this. “There was no need to do dogeza.”
Looking at him hanging his head in humiliation.
Taehyun said mockingly.
* * *
Kwasik.
Taehyun put strength on his feet.
Masahiko Kimura’s earrings were completely shattered.
Earrings worth billions of dollars specially made to connect to each country’s satellites.
Even though the object was being broken, Masahiko Kimura did not offer any resistance.
This was because he had already lost consciousness.
‘It’s a waste to even use predation.’
Taehyun thought as he looked down at Masahiko Kimura.
I fell to my knees and fainted with my head on the ground.
Unique skill ‘Predation’.
It would be nice to have confirmation when taking an opponent’s skill.
Predation is not a sophisticated skill that takes the user’s convenience into consideration.
Taehyun opened the status window.

Taehyun currently has nine skills.
It is safe to say that the horsepower and stamina stats are at the national power level, but the strength and speed stats are relatively low.
maybe.
‘With my current abilities, I’ll probably be limited to one in the future.’
If you were to prey on Masahiko Kimura, it would be ‘dominance of the five senses’ and ‘weapon enhancement’.
It was clear that one of the two would be registered unconditionally.
‘It’s not a skill I need right now.’
Even if it’s just to feast on a skill you really like.
Now it was necessary to refrain from ‘predation’.
After making up his mind, Taehyun took out a potion from his backpack.
One of the potions specially made upon request from Alchemist.
Potion Dragora.
One of the unofficially released potions that temporarily seals the magic power of the awakened person.
Taehyun threw Dragora into Masahiko Kimura’s mouth.
Symptoms appeared in his body immediately.
Red spots appeared all over the face.
‘It will be impossible to use skills with this.’
The effect is as long as one month and as short as ten days.
It was effective enough for a week-long friendly match.
‘Even a saint can’t do anything about this.’
From now on, Masahiko Kimura will not be able to use any skills that require magical power.
At least since I have the body of an S-rank player, I don’t know how I can subdue a C-level demon.
It was no longer difficult to perform well in friendly battles where S-rank players and mines were overflowing.
Rather, you may become a target of demons for no reason.
In order to survive, it would be wise to hide.
“You’ve been preparing a lot for this?”
Taehyun left him alone and put on his backpack again.
A backpack containing various potions rattled.
Masahiko Kimura is out in a friendly match.
Now it was time to catch the gnats.
* * *
That time.
Hong Kong, where the opening ceremony of the friendly match was held.
Most of them were operating in their own countries, where the information network was most active.
Like Taehyun, a man was showing off his strength against a player from another country.
China’s national team member and S-rank player.
One of the five national power players who are making a name for themselves in China.
It was Xu Xin.
He trampled on the two women who were lying at his feet.
Crack.
Kwasik. Kwasik.
Bones are breaking.
Still, there were no screams or moans.
Because his life had already ended.
“It’s insignificant.”
He laughed bitterly after dealing with the two national teams of Hong Kong.
Two women who are only low-level S-rank players.
They died before they could see Xu Xin’s face.
And that too in Hong Kong, where they were born and raised.
“Kkeukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk can’t even yawn because it is boring.”
At that time, I received a call with earrings.
[Shushin. This side also just dealt with two people.]
Tsai Mingmin, another Chinese national power player.
It was reported that he had dealt with Taiwan’s representatives.
“It goes according to plan.”
[There are a lot of eyes watching, so let’s catch the next fish.]
The fate of the national team participating in the friendly match is announced at midnight along with the ranking.
At least to distract from the misunderstanding that China was involved in the deaths of the Hong Kong and Taiwanese national team members.
It was necessary to eliminate the new Korea and Japan one by one.
“I’ll take charge of New Korea.”
As if there was nothing more to think about, Xu Xin chose his next prey.
[I understand. Then, I will take charge of Japan.]
Tsai Ming-min accepted the choice and the communication ended.
“Hehe.”
A grim laugh flowed over the corpses of the two players.
There are two national representatives of New Korea remaining on Earth.
The prey had already been decided.
