chapter 106
If you always have a serious conversation, the story leaks this way.
It is true that if you sign a main contract, you can quickly become stronger in a short period of time, but it is still too early.

Just like Anton, who was possessed by two hundred million, there was a possibility that Maegoo would take my body back.
Compared to the first day of admission, I have grown a lot, but beyond that, Maegu knows my means and methods all too well.
Shallow psychological warfare won’t work. If we have a second game, it will be a tougher fight than before.
Because of what happened in the past, some credit for Maegu was created.
If you ask me if I fully believe in Mae-gu, then again, I didn’t.
I had no choice but to give the same answer to what Maegoo always said.
‘Because I won’t.’
[There is no tree that cannot be felled by taking ten shots. I wondered if it was time for me to fall for the recommendation. It must have been early.]
If you sign the main contract, the images of Maegu and I will be mixed.
What’s more, I still haven’t been able to accurately recognize my image.
In this situation, if Mae-gu’s image is mixed, she is influenced too deeply.
As long as the imagery is mixed and some of the humanity may be lost under the influence.
It was too dangerous for Maegu’s image to be mixed with my image that I hadn’t recognized yet.
[A piece that exists on your body. It’s a pity that with just that, you can recover your strength right now.]
‘I guess he coveted it.’
[Although the size of the piece is not large. If there is, it looks like you can recover up to the fifth tail.]
Even though I’ve been through death several times so far.
The only time I was able to confirm Hanzo’s past through the kiosk was while fighting a vampire viscount.
Even so, all he had to do was watch young Hanzo succeed in the assassination without using mana alone.
For some reason, I don’t know why Hanzo’s body has a blade that originated from Maegu.
Seeing that I didn’t get any information about it even though I tried to find out about Haomun through Eleanor.
It is said that the information was concealed beyond the mystery of the one-person tradition.
Difficulties were to be expected in figuring out Hanzo’s roots.
‘On the contrary, I’m thinking that he might be approaching from the other side.’
Although my face and name are not widely known yet.
Yesterday and today, seeing my face filmed during the festival, there is a possibility that they will approach me first.
A friendly approach would be nice, but the possibility of hostility against me… .
In extreme cases, there is a possibility that he will try to dispose of me.
More than that, it was important to know about the past of this body’s original owner, Hanzo.
‘I don’t know why the pieces of Maegu are nested inside this body, but if I return it, it seems that the characteristics will disappear as well.’
According to Maegu, <Mindfulness of the Blade> was created by the power contained in the yodo sculpture.
As it is a trait that is being used quite well, it was too much of a loss to lose one rare trait.
I don’t know if there is something that can be replaced. It’s a trait too precious to lose now.
‘It seems that the courage to use the mindset of the blade has decreased a lot, but it is still psychologically stable to have it… .’
wince-
<Demon Hunter> has responded once again.
The unique feeling of resisting the devil’s power was weaker than before.
It’s not because the demon’s power he sensed is weaker than before, it’s because the location where he felt the power is farther away than before.
Unlike what I barely realized when I passed right by.
If you see that you can sense the devil’s power even at a distance than before, it must be that your body is adapting to <Demon Hunter>.
“It’s not the guy who was tailed, but after all, that guy is him.”
No devil worshiper who visits this place can leave without my permission.
As it was overflowing with crowds, I was worried about the gazes around me.
Wearing the armband I received from Baek Yu-ri the day before on my left arm, I stopped the man who was hiding the power of the devil.
“Wait.”
“yes? Me?”
The man looked at me as if he was embarrassed.
His acting skills were excellent.
If it weren’t for the closer the <demon hunter> got, the stronger the sense of repulsion against the demon’s power.
It was to the point where I thought I had caught the wrong person.
Suppressing the displeasure caused by <Demon Hunter>, I spoke in a gentlemanly manner.
“A random companion, please.”
The eyes of the surroundings gather.
If the line of sight is burdensome, one way is to use it in reverse.
If the gazes around him are burdensome, this man must be the same.
That’s why the most difficult situation for me right now is that this guy starts rampaging right here.
As the distance is the distance, the response itself will not be too late, but it will cause damage to the surrounding audience.
Fortunately, the man continued the conversation without running away or causing a commotion.
“For what?”
“There are eyes all around. I will move to a quiet place and explain.”
It’s not like he hasn’t thought about ways to cover up crimes he didn’t commit and have him arrested.
If possible, I didn’t want to run amok in a crowded place.
He also wouldn’t want to make it big.
As long as he entered the hero academy, which has been hiding the power of the devil.
It didn’t seem like he thought he’d find out he was a devil worshiper.
So, like now, you will think that the high-profile situation is more annoying.
As I guessed, he responded conscious of the gazes around him.
“… all right. It won’t take long.”
“of course. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Surprisingly, he followed me obediently.
I took him out of the festival site and headed to a place where there were few people.
* * *
How long to walk like that.
“Do you think it would be okay if you could explain a little bit?”
I felt that he was wary of me at his tone, which became even cooler than before.
After making sure no one is around.
“What are you doing all of a sudden… Up, up!”
Chains were wrapped around his body to seal his movements.
I made sure no one was around, but if I made a loud noise, people would come running.
Don’t forget to cover your mouth with your hand.
“Shh-!”
I said putting my index finger over my lips.
He nodded with surprised eyes.
“What did you find here?”
“Who are you?”
The smoke is very good.
If anyone sees it, it will be seen as harming good citizens.
However, other emotions were hidden behind the face painted in the color of fear.
“Who and what are you aiming for?”
“What are you talking about? live, live… !”
He covered his mouth once more with his hand.
“If you’ve said this much, don’t you think it’s time to show your true colors?”
“yes?”
I didn’t want to argue for a long time.
If he had come this far, he would have noticed that I had realized my true identity.
He lowered his head and suddenly started laughing.
“Quit, cu cu. How did know?”
Black mana blooming in his body.
It was raising the devil’s power.
I thought my skin was dyed dark red, and my body started to swell.
He was giving strength to break the chains that were holding him down.
“What a chain! chain, etc… . uh?”
As if embarrassed, the color of the eyes looking up at me was inverted, black and white reversed.
This proves that he is a half-man of the gluttony cult that worships Beelzebub.
When I saw that he had roughly the power of a C-class or higher.
It seemed that he had only gained the strength of a mid-level demon.
I questioned him who revealed his true color.
“Name, title, purpose of being here. Tell me everything you know.”
“Do you think I will speak plainly!”
I didn’t think so.
Persuading with words takes a long time, and I am not very confident.
It would be better to move on to the next step without having to spend time and fuss.
I took out the stick and held it.
Even looking at the sharp blue blade, he snorted.
“I don’t open my mouth to torture.”
“A normal torture would be like that.”
I thrust the blade of the urethra into his thigh.
“Ugh… .”
The blade penetrated the hardened skin with no resistance.
It must have been because the <Demon Hunter>’s ability was activated and the attack just now worked as a fatal wound.
He endured the pain and glared at me.
“Is this all? I got this power by enduring something. Like this pain… .”
In order to become a half-man like him, he had to go through a ritual unique to the Gourmet Church.
After starving until only cloth remains, have them fight low-level demons such as imps, and have them eat the defeated demons.
‘You shouldn’t eat monster meat recklessly, but devil’s meat. It’s not something people would do.’
Of course, demons are not something humans can eat.
That’s why even if you win a fight against a lower level demon, most people die in the process.
If you endure the strong backlash that seems to crush your soul and eat them all, you will be able to use the power of the devil.
He was reborn as a half-man.
What was added to the end was only a small amount of power.
That alone can bring you significant achievements.
‘If I add the strength of an intermediate level demon like this guy, I’ll be able to see the effect of raising my level one level.’
Like the Jealous Church, it wasn’t simply offering sacrifices and getting them.
I know that the half-man’s mental strength is amazing, as he gained strength at the end of that painful ritual.
Can you survive this far?
‘Maegoo, you said it before. I have confidence in this kind of thing.’
It was the turn of the self-proclaimed negotiator (physics) expert.
[It’s been a while. There is nothing impossible for the original woman. It’s about destroying a person. It belongs to the easy side.]
‘I ask only enough to answer my question in moderation.’
[i get it. Just hand over enough mana.]
Are you draining mana?
A haze in the shape of a fox flowed into his body through the wound.
