caught
The moment he pulled the trigger, Yooseong was certain of victory.
The power of bullets that exceed the speed of sound is absolute, and it is impossible for even a witch to survive being shot in front of her nose.
However, within a second of pulling the trigger, Yooseong realized that his thoughts were wrong.
Pod!

Just before hitting the target, the bullet evaporated into smoke with a flash of light.
In a moment of instinctive judgment, he aimed at each part of the body and other vital points, not the brain, and pulled the trigger repeatedly, but the result was the same.
“It looks similar to the hand cannon used by dwarves, so I was just wondering, but it was a weapon after all. But is that all?”
I didn’t know if he was using magic from the beginning or if he was using magic the moment the bullet was fired, but one thing was certain.
‘A gun doesn’t work on this monster.’
Even if she lost her body, even if she survived as a parasitic parasite on the body of a homunculus with only her brain remaining, the witch who destroyed the country alone would not be so easygoing.
The moment he saw the smile on Aris’ lips, Yoosung instinctively activated his Sura Sensei and accelerated his consciousness.
‘come!’
Tentacles and vines and palms sprouting from blood and flesh scattered everywhere.
There was only one space to avoid the attacks from all directions.
“Oh?”
The meteor, which reached in front of Aris using a flash signal, threw a power over her head, who was making a surprised expression.
Amwol Type 16 Drilling through rocks.
If they hit, they were confident that they could lightly pierce the soft brain.
If it hits.
“What?”
“Look at him. No way, do you think I came out in front of you without any countermeasures?”
The fist bounced off with strong repulsive force.
Yuseong, who was going to continue the attack, threw himself to the side at the sound he heard right behind him.
Kwajik!
A huge tentacle barely passed by.
The fact that he had dodged the attack was relieved for a while, and Yoosung gritted his teeth and started to dodge the attack at the attacks pouring in from all directions.
She dodges the creeping vines right in front of her nose, jumps into the air using the hand that was trying to grab her ankle as a stepping stone, flips her body in the air and spurts off the ceiling to fall to the ground.
Even Aris vomited admiration at the sight of the meteor running around the room and dodging the attack by displaying a series of flash moves.
“Wow! awesome! It’s not something that can be done with the ability of a homunculus, so how is such a movement possible?”
“… … .”
Aris’ ability is not suitable for battle.
In just a short fight, his mana was reduced to less than half, and his body was screaming in succession of acrobatic movements.
In the end, the answer was decided.
writing an item.
Even if it takes time to make a decision, the advantage of Yoosung is that once a decision is made, it is immediately taken into action without hesitation.
Meteorite, who slammed the tentacle that had come close to it and instantly blocked Aris’ vision, took out the most appropriate object for the current situation, finished the setting, and threw it in the direction of Aris.
The action was done in an instant, to the extent that the word “momentary” would not be enough to describe it, but Aris did not miss that moment and succeeded in capturing the meteor.
“Fantastic jumps and jumps.”
Numerous vines and tentacles wrapped around the body to the point of reminiscent of a cocoon.
Aris, who approached with an alluring smile, put a finger on Yoosung’s head and said.
“If you close your eyes and open them, everything will be over.”
If the goal is simply to transfer memories, it will end up changing the brain, but that alone is not enough to remain as one’s true self.
In order to fully inherit enlightenment, spiritual talent, and emotions, it was necessary to transfer the soul as well, and to avoid friction in the process, it was necessary to take the soul out of this body and make it into a simple vessel.
Whoa!
“Ouch!”
It was easier than flipping the palm of your hand to bring out your body, as well as your soul, as it was a creation you had created.
Aris, who pulled out the soul from the convulsing body and finished materializing the soul using the demonic eye of truth, looked at the small golden jewel in her palm and tilted her head.
“I don’t think there is anything strange… … .”
Even if not as much as the brain, the soul also contains some information.
However, no matter how you look at it, this soul is an ordinary homunculus itself that can be found anywhere.
From an incomprehensible way of speaking, strange behavior that could not be directed, to a strange level of combat power, I couldn’t find any information that could adequately explain it.
‘I’ll be able to find out the details after I finish the ritual and rummage through my brain.’
It is not good to stay in this state for a long time.
Aris, who was trying to perform the ritual to return to a safe body as soon as possible, couldn’t help but doubt her own eyes.
“Cool, cool! Kheuk!”
“… … how?”
Brain and soul are complementary to each other.
No matter how much the soul remains, if the brain does not function properly, the body is as good as dead, and vice versa.
However, this homunculus is still moving even after extracting the soul.
He is coughing repeatedly and glaring at himself with red, bloodshot eyes filled with unknown emotions.
It was something that Aris’ common sense couldn’t understand.
The same level of impact as when the sun rises in the west or a ball thrown upward stays in the air without falling to the ground.
Yooseong glared at Aris, who was making a shocked expression, and spoke with anger.
“… … Give me that.”
All I can do in the current situation is to move my fingertips.
And that was more than enough to press the button on the transmitter.
Kwakwagwagwang!
Although I have had the experience of using it once to measure its power, looking at it again [Unidentified creature. Very hostile to humans.] The power of the explosives obtained as a reward from the quest was admirable.
The aftermath of the rock crushing explosives created in a world much more advanced than Earth was not enough to sweep the entire room in an instant, causing the floor to collapse and the room to sink to the second floor.
“Quaaa
Aris, who had defensive magic in place, but did not have this level of attack in mind, couldn’t help but scream and go mad at the terrible pain and heat rising from her body.
But unfortunately for Aris, the attack didn’t end with just one attack.
Took!
An unidentified rectangular object seen through blurry vision.
And right away, Yoosung’s voice sounded like he couldn’t stand it because it was fun.
“Once more?”
Kwakwagwagwang!
Two explosions and two collapses.
Aris, who had fallen into the hall on the first floor, was so miserable that it was hard to see.
Black dead blood flowed from the chil-gong, both legs had disappeared without a trace, and the whole body was distorted with severe burns.
Krrrr.
For a while, the monsters gathered in the hall made cruel faces when they saw the witch.
I don’t know what happened, but as long as I can get my revenge once again, everything else is fine.
But they didn’t know.
The fact that what was in front of them now was not the homunculus they had been killing with pleasure, but a real witch.
Kwajik!
A large thorn protruded from Aris’ palm and pierced the head of a nearby chimera in an instant.
That was the beginning.
Hundreds and thousands of thorny vines, tentacles, and bizarre arms that grew around Aris began to break everything they stumbled upon in all directions.
aaa!
The monsters who confidently rushed in finally realized that the situation was wrong and tried to run away, but Aris, who was enraged, was not allowed to run away.
Anything that moved even the slightest was caught and torn to pieces, and where there was even the slightest sound, thorny vines and tentacles shot out, turning everything into a honeycomb.
And Yoosung, who was watching all of that from the second floor, bit his lip to hold back the pain.
I barely survived because the tentacles and vines acted as a shield, but I only survived to the end, and my physical condition was no better than Aris.
He hurriedly injected a regeneration ampoule to heal the wound, but that wasn’t the problem.
‘It’s dangerous if we go on like this.’
The moment the soul was pulled out, Yoosung gave up everything.
But somehow, even though the soul was pulled out, the consciousness was intact and the body was able to move without problems.
The only difference was that Aris’ voice could not be heard.
‘Did Aris’ soul be pulled out instead of me?’
I don’t know if it’s not considered a failure because the client isn’t dead, or if there’s some other reason, but what’s certain is that if the witch breaks the soul stone, the quest could fail right now.
“dare! dare! dare! A tool bites its teeth at its owner? come out! I mean come out!”
Koo Goo Goo!
Aris’ riot intensified as time went on, and unusual noises began to be heard from the building.
Yuseong, sensing that he could be crushed to death by being crushed by a collapsing building, felt the need to wait until his body recovered to some extent.
“Wrong. witch. I am not a tool.”
Kwajik!
Yooseong, who glanced at the huge thorn that pierced the place where he was just before, moved cautiously, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
“under! If you’re not a tool, what are you?”
“I… … .”
Yooseong, who had been steaming for a while, continued talking while pouring a grain of Yosangtan into his mouth.
“… … I am Deus ex machina.”
“What is Deus?”
Kwajik!
Thorns sprouting from the ground.
However, the meteor had already moved elsewhere.
“Deus Ex Machina. god of machinery. A convenient being who defies all fate and probability, suddenly appears in the story, solves all problems, and disappears. The extreme of absurdity. That is who I am.”
“When I said something was strange, did you injure your head by any chance? Deus Ex Machina? God of machinery? I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
While having a normal conversation on the outside, Aris was concentrating on the location of the meteor.
Accurate tracking was impossible because the five senses were destroyed by the explosion, but they were gradually narrowing the range by using the tentacles stretched out in all directions instead of sensory organs.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. It’s not something I hope you understand in the first place.”
‘Yes, that’s it.’
A cruel smile formed on Aris’ lips.
It moved the tentacles that had dug into the walls and began to entwine the entire space where the meteor was supposed to be.
It was intended to be swallowed up at once, like a snake swallowing its prey.
“Oh my, that’s amazing. I was thinking exactly the same thing.”
“okay?”
“Where is the master who seeks understanding from a tool? The master just uses, and the tool is used.”
Kwagwagwang!
Huge tentacles and thick vines protruding from collapsing corners of the building instantly surrounded the space where the voice was heard.
“Got it!”
The moment he was certain that the hunt had been successful, Aris let go of her tension.
The moment when the predator is the only one to reveal a gap, Yooseong did not miss that moment.
‘Caught.’
A shooting star was fired at Aris, who was distracted by the recorder.
this is not a game
