Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 152

What the girl handed over to Yoosung was a piece of a dead person.

“What are you telling me to eat?”

Nod.

That's why Yooseong asked back with hand gestures, and the girl nodded triumphantly in the

affirmative.

A post-apocalyptic tower. The girl I first met there couldn't speak. Because there was no one to talk to her.

The thing in front of Yooseong was also the monster in the tower.

‘Looking at the body, it seems like she was alive a while ago...

After thinking about it, Yoosung quietly shook his head in front of the girl. He returned the piece of meat she was holding out to her.

“The characteristic of a monster is that there is no need to eat.”

“ah...?”

The girl tilted her head, not understanding what he said. And when Yooseong rejected the human piece she handed over, she shrugged her shoulders in some disappointment.

“Q...”

Fortunately, there was no such thing as spewing out tentacles and accusing me of rejecting the favor he had given me. Because he just lowered his head sullenly.

Therefore, there was no need to forge the Sword of Winter Night.

A post-apocalyptic tower. Even though it was a tier 14 tower, what awaited Yooseong was not a fierce battle.

There was a young girl whose boundaries between people and monsters were blurred, and to her, ‘people’ were nothing more than food.

This world no longer cares about players. It is up to the player to find the answer in a mysterious world where nothing is known.

It was right then. The entire basement of

the Kung

girl's house began to shake from an unknown shock. After the first few shocks, I could sense that it was the work of an overtly hostile being.

But it was by no means the work of a monster.

“uh?”

Rather, the ‘humans’ that Yoosung had been searching for so long were there. They were men in military uniforms, armed with various firearms and swords.

“Were they there, those monsters...

Likewise, they dismissed Yoosung and the girl, who had human shapes, as monsters without any hesitation.

“Hmm, since we are all gathered like this, let’s calmly and amicably have an in-depth discussion about the definition of monsters…

“Ah…

And as soon as she saw the humans there, the girl’s expression froze coldly.

Right

after that, tentacles rose up, just like the shadow imitator showed earlier. Not in her body.

Jet-black tentacles were emerging from the shadows beneath my feet.

And the humans moved against the swirling tentacles. The muzzles in their hands simultaneously spewed fire, and those holding the swords kicked the ground. I applied it. It was not a movement that the human body could make.

Still, it meant nothing in front of the King of Player Heroes there.

The sword and the bullet tore off the tentacles the girl was spewing out, but did not directly injure her. And they didn't stop there, and as they moved towards the girl, the shooting star also moved.

Jump! Jump!

The coldness of the mythical skill “Winter Night” bestowed by the Frost Lord began to engulf the ruins of the apocalypse.

Not just creating a sword, but literally overwriting the world.

The apocalyptic cold that made my bones freeze and my teeth chatter flew by and swallowed up the swirling bullets and blades.

It was literally a moment before the humans' weapons were neutralized in the cold of the winter night. However, the meteor did not go any further than that.

“What kind of person is this, walking around with such a stiff neck just because he’s a government official?”

Yoosung said, blocking the girl in front of the humans. Immediately afterwards, a chunk of human meat lying at the girl's feet came into view.

“Oh my.”

There was too much evidence to confidently claim the monster's innocence.

“Home, now that I think about it, I don’t think he’s a monster or a

government official…” But Yoosung didn’t even have time to finish his sentence.

Chao O Kyung

“Die, you monster!”

Tentacles of courtesy rose up again. But it wasn't the girl's doing. It was a tentacle sprouting from the shadows of the humans there.

Tentacles swirled and rushed towards the shooting star and the girl. However, Yoo Seong's sword was better than that.

“Isn’t there a mirror in the bathroom? “Who is calling someone a monster?”

The shooting star responded again, forging the cold of the winter night, and the swirling tentacles were cut off in vain. Before you know it, you are in front of the swords of the ‘Shadow Demons’ who are moving according to Yoosung’s commands.

“Well, it has to be a monster. By the way, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. Even monsters have top and bottom.”

The swords of the shadow imitators imitating the Heavenly Demon were swung, and the tentacle-spouting humans, like the girl, were suppressed one by one.

‘...If you set it high, it's at the top level of Tier 6.'

Since it was a tier 14 top, I expected how fierce the battle would be, but there was no fight that was easy to understand. But I was able to realize this. Even if the battle was fierce, it was nothing more than a child's game in front of Yooseong, who was leading the army of the Heavenly Demon.

The power of the King of Heroes does not stop at the strength of each player.

“Hmm, then, since it has already come to this...

Yooseong spoke calmly as he looked at the ‘humans’ who had been

suppressed and kneeled by the Heavenly Demon’s shadow .

“I think we need to have an in-depth look at the definition of a monster. “Isn’t that right?”

“What exactly are you.....

“Are you really human?”

“So who are you?”

A shooting star asked and a human answered.

“We are ‘monster hunters’...!”

“okay?”

“Reveal your identity. If you maintain your human self, why are you fighting us? Are you really a ‘runaway’?”

Human ego escapee. Unknown stories poured out. At the same time, the tightly packed information began to clear up one by one.

“A fugitive? “Is there a leaf village here somewhere?”

Yoosung continued speaking calmly.

“What happened? Why are you targeting this child?

“Aren’t we all monsters with tentacles?”

Before he knew it, he had left behind the girl who was clutching the hem of his clothes.

“You really don’t know anything...?”

“What don’t you know?”

“She is our comrade in arms! And the self has already been taken away by the beasts of the apocalypse! So, as she had hoped when she was human...

“Comrades? “This little guy?”

Hearing those words, Yooseong was dumbfounded and looked back. There was a little girl. When I imagine her holding a gun, no matter how much I think about it, she is no more or less than a girl soldier (小女兵) that can only be found in civil war areas such as Africa.

“Yes, to fight against monsters, she transplanted monster cells and used their powers...

“Even at that young age, she was an example of a hunter with the determination she needed!”

I could finally understand.

The humans here were willing to become monsters in order to fight monsters.

“Go away, you idiot. “This is not something you can fathom with your justice.”

“We are here to honor the dignity and oath she took as a human being.”

“Oh, is that so?”

A brief silence fell. Contrary to what Yoosung thought, the girl there was not a monster from the beginning. Because he was a ‘human' who was transplanting the body cells of the monsters into their horses in order to gain the strength to fight against the monsters with physical abilities beyond common sense that those hunters had just shown.

‘I can understand how things are going.'

Yoosung nodded. It was right then.

Kuuk.

There was still a girl behind Yoosung's back, holding on to his clothes.

“Ah ah...

I couldn’t speak properly. But she kept trying to get her point across.

There is no reason for Yoosung to know about her before she was taken away by the beast of the apocalypse. However, if we assume that what we have now is a being that has been eaten by a monster and has had its human consciousness taken away...

that would be closer to the girl that Yoosung first encountered in this world.

“I said I made a shitty decision yesterday…

That’s why Yoosung answered.

“Don’t you think it’s unfair that the blame falls solely on me today?”

“what...?”

“Let’s say that the me of last night stayed up all night and then pushed the me of today to study for an exam. “Then what did I do so wrong today that I have to carry out that responsibility?”

I wondered what kind of nonsense I was talking about, but Yoosung didn't care.

“Go away. “He says he would rather live as a monster than die as a human.”

“Do you think we will just leave like this...?”

“That’s your responsibility then

.”

Yoosung shrugged his shoulders calmly.

Silence fell. But the silence did not last long.

“...I will step down.”

“Great Captain!”

The man who appeared to be the leader of the hunters opened his mouth after silence, and his subordinates all turned their heads. But nothing changed.

The hunter humans disappeared. And the girl who was left behind was there.

A hunter who used to be human like them and became a monster to fight monsters. I don't know if it was entirely her decision or not.

“Ah...

After the humans withdrew, the girl left behind began to mutter, clutching the hem of Yoosung’s clothes.

The mumbling soon turned into sobbing.

[Tier 14 Post-Apocalyptic Tower Scenario Chapter 1 has ended!]

[Temporarily escaping from the world of the tower until the next scenario is ready....]

Darkness fell, as if the curtain of the stage was coming down amid sobs, and darkness fell. Inside, the girl opened her mouth again.

“Mister...

those were human words that even Yoosung could understand.

And I realized that the title I was calling myself was very familiar.

“Player Kang Yoo-seong has just conquered Phase 1 of the 14th tier tower!”

“As you are conquering the 13th tier and higher towers like never before, please share your thoughts!”

“Similarly, do you have anything to say to the players who will be entering the tower?”

As usual, as we left the tower, reporters’ flash shutters were firing endlessly. In order to capture even a little more of the King of Heroes' performance as he conquers Tiers 13 and 14 through solo play.

“Hmm, like a tier 13 or higher tower... When it comes to targeting high tier towers, well...

And in front of the reporters' cameras, Yoosung paused for a moment and got lost in thought.

“We need to focus on being fun, cool, and sexy.”

Yooseong answered, and silence fell like ice in the hall.

“Could you explain what you said in detail?”

A reporter asked and Yoosung answered.

“Just explaining it isn’t sexy.”

Yoosung answered calmly. And that was right then.

A reporter raised his voice in an extremely urgent voice. Even Yooseong couldn't help but doubt his ears.

“Breaking news! Player Grave Keeper has just conquered ‘Tier 14 Top’ for the first time in the season!”
