＜ Episode 33 ＞
Nothing is free in this world.
It would be the same everywhere, but the world goes back to equivalent exchange, and Luna was even more so.
Ivan had to endure countless years before he got his current power.
The fact that John endured the threat of his life for three years before he found out about his situation.
In that sense, magic was faithful to this law more than any other ability of Luna, and of course, Kurak knew that fact more than anyone else.
ridge!
The air rumbled and a heavy atmosphere settled down.
Everyone in the conference room turned their eyes to find the cause, and there was Kurak with his arms outstretched and his tattoos all over his body glowing strangely.
The eyes that had lost their black jaundice were lifted up, the mouth that had been torn down to the bottom of the ears was wide open, and the figure with shark-like teeth closely embedded looked like something out of human form, and it gave everyone goosebumps.
Kurak, who gathered all the eyes in the hall, murmured.
“Be tied up.”
It was a dark and low voice, but it was heard clearly in everyone’s ears, and at that moment, everyone in the meeting room knew at once what Kurak had done.
“greatness!”
An uncomfortable moan escaped Ivan’s mouth, and at the same time an ominous light penetrated all the bones that surrounded Ivan’s body like armor.
A light welled up in Tyrone’s and Igor’s eyes.
I don’t know what kind of curse he put on, but Kurak put some restrictions on Ivan’s bones, and it actually drastically reduced Ivan’s combat power.
“It tied up the movement of the bones. As long as the curse continues, the bones will not multiply.”
“that’s enough.”
Tyrone gave a thumbs up at Kurak, who barely opened his mouth in a cold sweat.
The scary thing about the bones that Ivan shoots out of his body is their anomaly.
Literally, it means that you don’t know where on the body and how to shoot it, but it means that it was tied up, so I thought that if I crushed it calmly, it would come to an end someday, no matter how strong the armor was.
Of course, it would have been perfect if the curse had been completed before it took on its current form, but what would you do with the past?
It was important that the odds were in place, and Tyrone and Igor’s momentum began to run wild.
“Hurry up.”
Watching Kurak sweat profusely with a pale complexion, Tyrone and Igor, who judged that there was not enough time, rushed at Ivan again.
“Guys!”
Ivan, who was wrapped in white bone armor, spread his arms wide as he gnashed his teeth.
***
“eww. Ugh.”
Ekaterina, who opened her eyes with a groan as her hazy mind became clear as if covered in fog, was the first stimulus she felt was the sense of loss.
“···ah.”
The treatment of Organmaker, who specializes in biotechnology, was good enough to overcome the hump, but he couldn’t help with the missing arm.
Ekaterina, who struggled to turn her head, saw the missing arm in her field of vision.
The thought that it might have been a dream disappeared at once, and the pain stimulated the girl’s brain along with the terrible sense of loss she felt for the first time in her life.
“Ugh!”
Ekaterina gritted her teeth at the pain she felt in her non-existent body.
back pain.
The extraordinary girl knew quite a bit and could immediately recognize that this was a symptom of something.
“Ivan!”
The pain became the fuel and started to burn roaring, which soon turned into anger.
Children are sensitive to the emotions around them.

Moreover, unlike normal children, the extraordinary girl knew early on that her biological father did not love her.
The reason why she awakened this ability and manipulated the emotions around her so that everyone liked her might be because she missed the unfulfilled love.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
“Damn it! It’s filthy hard!”
“no use! Not even you guys can stop me!”
“Kaaa!”
Explosive noise, screams, and vibration that echoed through the meeting room.
The girl, filled with anger in her heart, gritted her teeth and tried to stand up.
“… ugh!”
Out of habit, I stretched out my left arm and tried to touch the ground, but my body stumbled.
Once again, the body’s defect was deeply engraved, and the feeling of anger burned her heart once again.
It’s understandable that the girl is awake, but the adults who are supposed to care for her are so engrossed in the battle unfolding right in front of them that no one cares about her.
bang!
Kwajik!
“no use! zone!”
From a point in the air, I saw a bullet flying with a roar, and I heard Ivan’s voice shouting vigorously.
Although her appearance had completely changed, the girl immediately knew who Ivan was, and an evil light appeared in her eyes.
What you receive must be returned in double.
That was Luna’s daily life, and the girl had no intention of rejecting that daily life.
“···zone.”
Ekaterina raised her ability while muttering the name of the person who might be the only one on her side here.
In order to prove her usefulness to Ivan, who does not give her affection, she has studied and polished her own abilities.
***
Ting!
John’s skill at finishing reloading at the same time the cartridges fell on the floor was enough to admire, but no one was here to see John hidden behind an optical camouflage.
bang!
Kwajik!
“no use! zone!”
Almost simultaneously with the reload, the aim was made and the 20MM high-explosive armor-piercing bullets fired with intense recoil hit Ivan’s body, but it did not work.
As if the mighty energy could not be ignored at all, the place where it was hit cracked and the armor dented, but that was only for a moment.
John narrowed his eyes at the sight of him recovering quickly, as if turning back time.
Kurak’s curse stopped the bones from moving, but it didn’t control Ivan’s ability to regenerate.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
“Kuk!”
“hahahahaha! How long can I avoid it?”
Igor, who collided head-on with Ivan, who charged like a tank using his huge body and armor as a weapon, flew into a corner, and Tyrone’s sword, aiming for the gap, rushed in with a dazzling aura.
Let’s go!
No matter how strengthened it was, it was not strong enough to withstand the aura, and the sword went deep into Ivan’s body, but Tyrone couldn’t help but laugh.
“Damn it.”
Seeing it play in real time as if nothing happened was enough to demoralize.
‘not good.’
John, who was watching Ivan as he moved from place to place without any sign of anything, rolled his head.
I don’t know how long Ivan will be able to maintain that state, but among those gathered here, if only the depth and mastery of his abilities are taken into consideration, Ivan is by far the best.
Igor, who puts an ampoule in his thigh and rushes at it with smoke coming out of his body, Tyrone with a black light around his eyes, Kurak who is tired of being white and now bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and even John himself.
No one could be confident that their level was deeper than Ivan, and if time passed like this, there was a high probability that they would lose.
Being a Chimera was far beyond John’s expectations.
‘In the end, I have to approach it.’
An ampoule received from an organ maker.
That alone was the key to turning the tide, and to do so, he needed to approach Ivan.
The problem is, John’s own physical abilities aren’t that great, and if he strays even a little, is it certain that he will be fatally hit by Ivan’s hand at that moment?
It was the time when I was measuring the timing to make a decision while looking at the situation that was gradually flowing into the point of view.
‘···Well?’
Something foreign was caught in the power surrounding John, and John’s eyes moved.
‘Ekaterina.’
Although it was impossible for the girl to see her as she hid herself with her optical camouflage, Ekaterina was staring at her with eyes as if she were certain that John was there, and the moment she read the determination in her eyes, John did not hesitate.
He created a passage through the supernatural power that surrounded him and inhaled the supernatural power sent by Ekaterina.
Perhaps because of a defense mechanism based on instinct, John’s ability was activated and he tried to exclude the girl’s ability, but John suppressed his own ability and guided Catherine’s ability to his brain.
“… Breathe!”
And the moment her ability reached her brain.
His brain began to radiate heat as if it were about to boil, and John immediately knew what was happening to him.
John’s gaze met the girl’s gaze.
After confirming the girl’s hard expression while stroking her broken arm, John began to move.
***
‘···Hmm?’
Kurak was the first to notice John’s movements.
Kurak, who paid tribute and used magic with all his might, was defenseless, but because of that, he could see everything around him like the palm of his hand.
The moment he casts spells, Kurak acts as a proxy for God’s will through his body.
It was as if the divine realm was spread around Kurak, and it was only natural that trivial science could not deceive the eyes of the gods.
Kurak opened his mouth after confirming the figure of John stepping up behind Ivan, who was running wild with cautious steps.
“Tie your feet.”
The voice that left Kurak’s mouth did not spread throughout the meeting room, only reaching Tyrone and Igor’s ears.
Their shoulders flinched at the sudden voice of Kurak, but that was only for a moment.
The two met eyes and rushed towards Ivan recklessly.
“hahahahaha! It’s no use!”
I don’t know if his personality changed when he turned into a chimera, or if he was drunk with power, but Ivan laughed loudly with a frivolous voice.
Let’s go!
Tyrone’s sword and Igor’s claws ripped through Ivan’s armor and reached his flesh, but Ivan spread his arms out with a big smile.
Looking down at them with a fishy smile, as if watching a child’s trick, their faces were full of base desires, and red light streamed from their maddened eyes.
“Kuh! Is this the end?”
Tyrone’s sword, which seemed to be swinging forever against the endlessly regenerating armor, slowed down, and Igor’s muscles, which had been swollen, lost their strength.
“Then I must die now.”
The time when saliva trickled down from his wide open mouth through the bone helmet and his shoulders swelled up.
Appearing from behind Ivan, John drove a large sword into Ivan’s spine.
Swoop.
“···What?”
“What is that?”
It was a lie like a sight.
The mediocre greatsword, which had no special features and was not wrapped in an aura, dug through Ivan’s armor with such ease as if it were splitting through the head, and then spun around once and cut through the armor like opening a can lid.
Then the syringe full of the fluorescent drug burrowed into Ivan’s regenerating flesh as it should.
It’s normal not to be able to penetrate Ivan’s body, but the syringe also inserted the needle into Ivan’s body so easily that it poured out the fluorescent drug.
Kwajik!
The syringe between Ivan’s rapidly regenerating armor shattered and fell to the floor, but the drug had already disappeared into Ivan’s body, and John had left enough distance.
The battle has stopped.
Everyone who saw the unbelievable situation was speechless, and Ivan, who did not know what had entered his body, had a blank expression.
bang!
The revolver in John’s hand spewed fire.
