191 – Mission Complete
I can feel the eyes of my colleagues looking at me as I run away without saying anything.
Arin scratches the back of her head as if she’s sorry for nothing and looks at the direction I’m going without blinking. Actually, she might be the one to be sorry for, but I hope she doesn’t.
She arrived in front of the building and waited for her target in front of a parking lot barricade. She had heard, Helen said, of a man going in and out of the house every two days at eight o’clock in the evening.
That’s why we rushed to this place with our tired bodies.
Boo Woong-
I saw a man driving in.
I injected magic and senses into the gliding cloak at the same time and wrapped it around my body. Then I ran after the car and climbed onto the ceiling.
The magic detection equipment and state-of-the-art barriers at the entrance did not detect me hidden by the cloak and allowed me to pass through the barricade. It was a transformation of the senses that was not very different from the one that cut off Apex’s [Spying] Ability the other day.
I don’t know exactly what the principle is. It was a trick I learned while testing various things when I had free time at the White Knight Guild.
Of course, this is not invincible either. If there were high-level barrier magicians or wizards, it was unknown.
The man who got out of the car after arriving at the parking lot looked unexpected.
A dwarf?
Although the characteristics of the person who received the dwarf trait were not revealed, it was easy to guess based on the unique magical structure.
‘He wasn’t the man I thought he was.’
I assumed that he would be a spawn or a guy who would moderately soothe my depression, but I guessed wrong. And if you connect a dwarf with a rich hunter who has lost a body part, you can easily guess what he is doing.
‘They were making prosthetic arms and legs.’
Cutting off a hand, the main passage of magical power, is a fatal wound for a swordsman. It is said that it is almost impossible to find the passage of magic once it has been cut off.
However, I heard that simple physical abilities can be restored to 80% of the original function depending on the blacksmith’s ability. What about this blacksmith?
Jeobeok- Jeobeok-
This man is my guide today. Smooth operation without any interruptions.
Of course, starting from the parking lot, the detection barrier was constantly running, and I saw a low-level wizard patrolling with a guard in the distance using Detect Magic carelessly and paying for his own money, but there was no great danger.
I followed the man and got into the elevator together. Because it had been replaced with a rune of wealth, footsteps could not be heard at all.
‘As expected, magic…’

My mana is rapidly dropping. It was at least three times the usual stealth. Using mana along with senses is very costly.
Clap-
Following the man, we arrived in front of Heo Min-sol’s house. Unexpectedly, the front door was not equipped with any special devices.
Attached to the ceiling, I quickly went inside the moment the man opened the door.
[Adsorption]
Although the level has never increased, the skill [Adsorption] Is a skill that has been really useful from the beginning until now.
Seeing myself crawling clinging to the ceiling made me feel like a bug, but it’s human psychology that if I don’t show my embarrassing appearance to others, it will return to pleasure. Of course I’m not human, but anyway.
I even got into the house once, but there was a problem. A wizard was standing in the middle of the living room.
‘I never said anything like this before.’
Looking at the outfit, it doesn’t look like the number of people who stay there all day… Could it be that they came to visit the hospital? In the space on the left, Huh Min-sol appeared in an electric wheelchair.
“Oh, then shall I go?”
“Yeah. Thanks. For coming.”
“Why is he really like this? What are you thankful for? Take a break.”
‘Bingo.’
Fortunately, the wizard left the house straight away. He is a wizard of the same age as Heo Min-sol. Unless I was constantly using detection magic, there would be no way to recognize me.
By the way, there are friends like Heo Min-sol who will come to see you in the hospital. It’s Yoo Yoo-sang, even the girl who just left should remember her face.
The man who came into the house with me started working right away. Seeing as he takes out all kinds of tools from his inventory, he looks like he’s going to do some major construction work.
‘Did I already make that much?’
The prosthetic hand and prosthetic limb taken out of the inventory looked like a very old and twisted wooden prosthetic, but to my surprise, as soon as it touched Heo Min-sol’s arms and legs, they began to fuse with her as if they were alive.
‘Wow… It’s the first time I’ve ever seen one wearing one, but that must be ridiculously expensive, right? I don’t think this dwarf is normal either. Heo Min-sol, what the hell did you do to earn so much money?’
I was very curious about the secret.
Like the dwarves, I had to carry out my purpose, but I was so startled that I was momentarily dazed.
Of course, even if they are fused like that, they cannot be used immediately like their hands and feet, and even if they train again after getting used to it, it will be a difficult process to reopen the passage of the magical power that was cut off.
However, with this level of full support, and with this level of vehemence, a woman might break through a very low probability.
“How are your hands?”
“It hurts… Is it really this painful?”
“Heh heh, it’s an item that pierces raw flesh, but it can’t hurt. But compared to other customers, he tolerates it very well.”
“I was often told that I was toxic.”
“Heh heh, that’s good. If you have that kind of strong will, work becomes easy. Today, I’m going to focus on raising the synchro rate. Did you take the painkiller beforehand?”
“Yes, yes, please do it quickly. I want to finish it and rest.”
After watching Heo Min-sol’s prosthetic arm production process for a while, I spread my senses and started my main job, and soon I was able to immediately discover the most vigilant place in this house.
It was a room located in the middle of the hallway, going wide to the right from the living room. This room was probably Heo Min-sol’s room.
The pink-painted door remained locked. I’ve secured my room, though.
If you turn this doorknob right away without preparation, the hunters from the security company will be dispatched like dogs.
Ung-
After covering his hands with mana and senses united, he put his hand on the handle. Again, the security device did not respond, and I carefully turned the door.
Chakak-
Perhaps because it was a nice house, the sound from the door was very small and nice to hear. It makes me want to go back one more time.
The room was covered in pink, just like the door. A room full of all kinds of dolls and lovely accessories.
‘That’s f*cking crazy.’
Outside, he did bad things to the point of drowning a person, while decorating the room like this again… It was ironic.
Without hesitation, I approached Heo Min-sol’s bedroom and reached for the drawer right next to the bed. Um… It won’t open.
‘Hmm… I need to put in more magic power.’
Depending on the strength of the barrier, the consumption of magic power increases, but the door of the drawer opened only after I poured 70% of my remaining magic power.
‘I’ve invested quite a bit.’
As the amount of magic you possess fell below 50, your magic power was restored to its maximum level. It’s the power of the highest-level magic circuit. Whoops…
Inside the drawer was a small pink box, which was also hung with the same barrier as the drawer.
At that moment, I was nervous that I might open this box and another box would appear inside, but fortunately that didn’t happen.
‘Whew… It was a bit chewy.’
As expected, inside the box was a contract that was mutually agreed upon between Heo Min Sol and Apex. It was clear that the one with a soft light had even been hung up on a mutual pledge.
Hmm… I can definitely feel Heo Min-sol’s magical energy. Although she lost the passage of her magical energy, the magic tube inside her body did not disappear, so the oath was fully usable.
I looked at the contract for a while.
The contract contained Heo Min-sol’s requirements in detail.
「······Baek A-rin’s arms, legs, tongue and ears were all cut off, and a recording file and a hundred photos containing painful voices. And······”
Even the ears that symbolize Arin were written that he would give extra money if he brought them to him.
‘A b*tch like two dogs?’
I was so mad at the moment that I almost ran out of the living room. I think I will return it as written here.
I was the one who made myself into that kind of body, but in the end, turning the arrow toward Arin seemed to reflect a greatly distorted mindset.
After taking a moment to catch her breath, she looked at the down payment.
‘3 Billion?! Crazy…?!’
What was surprising was the size of the down payment. No matter how good the hunter’s earnings are, 3 billion is a little… Considering it’s an amount that kills a promising prospect, it’s somewhat acceptable, but it was too much. Had I known she was this rich, I should have just ripped off her money instead of cutting off her limbs.
‘Women are scary.’
I left the room and headed back to the living room, where the two of them were still working on the prosthetic limb.
I was still only able to flick my fingers. The dwarf next to him had the long coffin connected to the prosthetic arm connected to his hand, and he continued to encourage Heo Min-sol and quickly wrote something down on a piece of paper.
‘······ There is no sign of a second awakening.’
There were some cases where people were shocked and reawakened, but it was fortunate. It was also nice to see the energy of magic, which was noticeably reduced compared to when they met in the dungeon. If you don’t use it, the magic barrel will quickly run out.
Even if you get used to that prosthetic arm and miraculously regain the passage of magic, how long will it take to recover the power you originally had?
It will take at least two years. By that time, we would be on top, so Heo Min-sol might feel a greater sense of despair at that time. Isn’t that what true revenge is? Killing it easily is a sewage thing to do.
Now that I’ve packed my things, all I have to do is leave the house. An open window…
‘Ah, I guess I can go over there.’
I didn’t want to stay any longer, so I carefully opened the door leading to the terrace and slipped out. Heo Min-sol and the man were concentrating on working with each other, so they didn’t pay attention to the door slowly opening.
Actually, considering my ability, it’s not a big deal, but going into someone else’s house made me feel nervous and guilty for no reason, so I wanted to get away quickly.
Whiik- Flutter-!
I threw myself outside and flew to the place where my party members were, and I was a little excited by completing the mission neatly in my own way.
There was an empty seat for me on the second floor of the cafe. Yeon-hee seemed to have noticed that I had come first, and her body was very excited.
At some point, even if I was in hiding, she could feel me. I couldn’t understand how that could happen without any magical action, but this must also be a summoner’s prerogative.
“Ohhh! Shh-shh-“
Bae Joo-ah saw Yeon-hee, who signaled that I had come, and whispered to me, who had just sat down.
“Are you sure about the contents?”
For some unknown reason, she gave her a sign of positivity with her little teeth clenched at a drug trafficking scene or something she would hit her sly lines with.
“Okay. Check things out.”
