Chapter Title: Golden Raccoon Annihilation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Puk!
Aaak!
A man in his late twenties let out a scream as he collapsed.
It was due to the damned poison that had seeped in through his respirator.
The poison rapidly corroded his body, blurring his vision.
Kekeke, lucky!
Wow, 162-level hunt success!
Three students stood before him, looking down with sneers.
They were level 130 to 140 users, and right in front of them, a level 162 man was dying.
Points?
Hold on. Oh! Hes got 2,300 points?
Not a wasted level after all.
The students mocked the man as they looted his points and items.
Then, the students frowned.
Whats this? Assemble at headquarters?
Suddenly?
Tch, finish this one and head over.
They wanted to blow it off, but as guild members, they couldnt.
After finishing the looting, they left the man behind and headed to headquarters.
Hey, wont that guy just die if we leave him like that?
One of the students glanced back at the man.
Just let him die.
Hey, we should at least give him an antidote before we go. Itd feel kinda off if he dies.
Yeah, good point.
In the end, they roughly fed him an antidote bought with points and set off.
And there, fourteen students lay sprawled out.
Wh-what?
What the hell...?
The students could only be swept up in bewilderment.
Ah, youre here?
A man sitting on the sofa waved.
Youwho the hell are you?
Fuck, you the one who did this?
Two students glared with murderous tones.
The man grinned and nodded.
Yeah. Thats me.
Ha, fuck.
Hey, that bastards level 160.
Nickname Reverse Heaven? What the fuck, cringiest name ever.
They were the three students who had already hunted a level 162 before.
One student slyly released poison.
The sprawled ones would get poisoned too, but who cared.
First things first: take down that cringy bastard.
But no matter how much time passed, he didnt even twitch.
What... poison not working?
I am using it...
The downed ones faces were turning purple, proof the poison was spreading through the space.
Yet the level 160 man in front of them stood up perfectly fine.
Youre using poison?
He grinned and slowly walked forward.
The three students backed away.
Fuck...
Come any closer and youre dead.
The lead student drew his sword and aimed it at the man.
Then, the mans figure vanished.
Drawing your sword means you know you could die, right?
Whagahk!
Bang!
The student whod aimed his sword had his waist bent in half as he slammed into the wall.
Kim Sang-ho!
The student releasing poison called out to his friend with a deathly pale face.
Time to worry about your friend?
In that instant, the man appeared right in front of him.
He was smiling, but it was more chilling than ever.
U-uaaaak!
He took a punch to the gut and crashed into the wall.
Hiiik!
With two friends down in an instant, the last one bolted.
Where you going.
But the man grabbed him by the hair, yanking hard and sending him sprawling backward.
Aaak! My hair! My hairs coming out!
Shut up. Youre noisy.
O-okay, just dont hit me!
Cant do that.
Gahk!
In the end, even the last student took a fist to the face and passed out.
About this much.
Jeong Hoon returned to the sofa and sat.
The ones slowly coming to were already on their knees with hands raised.
Hey, the antidote?
W-we did it.
Jeong Hoon was unaffected by that level of poison thanks to his fully evolved Immune to Poison skill, but the others werent.
Thanks to that, the student whod released the poison had to use most of the looted points to detox the poisoned students.
Now, shall we have a chat?
Jeong Hoon grinned.
The roster listed 42 names.
Originally 46, but it had automatically dropped to 42 after four quit before he acquired it.
And hed subdued a total of 35.
Even excluding the already deceased Kim Ji-gang, they were still short six.
S-sorry...
We wont do it again...
Jeong Hoon chuckled.
Of course you wont. Ive nerfed all your stats.
Seven Deadly Sins
-Type: Sloth
-Level: ?? (Grows by absorbing stats)
-Grade: Epic
Detailed Stats
-Strength: 102
-Agility: 101
-Stamina: 100
-Defense: 101
-Wisdom: 102
-Mana: 102
-Mental Strength: 101
Jeong Hoon knocked out all the students.
Simple reason.
To let Sloth absorb their stats.
As a result, all of Sloths stats had surpassed 100.
Meanwhile, the 35 kneeling before him had their stats downgraded to a level unworthy of their actual levels.
Down to almost level 20 stats.
Even if they all rushed him together, Jeong Hoon was confident he could handle them with one hand.
......
The students fell silent.
All of them middle or high schoolers.
Jeong Hoon drew Leviathan and aimed it at them.
So, who should I kill first?
The chilling words made the students flinch and tremble.
Some even pissed themselves.
P-please spare me...!
Spare us and well do anything!
Jeong Hoon stroked his chin.
Spare you? Bet the people you robbed begged the same.
W-we never killed anyone!
Yeah! Just robbed them. Never killed!
The students desperately refuted.
Jeong Hoon scanned their eyes and nodded.
Didnt seem like they were lying.
Then quit the guild right now.
Yes!
Quitting right now!
At Jeong Hoons words, the students began quitting Golden Raccoon.
Names started vanishing from the roster one by one.
Still not showing up.
Even after sending an all-guild message, the rest werent showing their faces.
Any of you know about these six?
Jeong Hoon showed them the names on the roster.
The students nodded.
Theyre executives!
One student shouted urgently.
Executives?
Yes! Golden Raccoon has six executives.
Okay. You pass. Go home.
Th-thank you!
Before Jeong Hoon could change his mind, the student jumped up and fled.
His legs mustve been numb from kneeling so long, yet his speed was incredible.
Seeing this, the rest lit up and spilled every bit of info they knew.
Most was useless, but a few details made Jeong Hoons eyes gleam.
Ho, looks like that one wasnt the only Avatar.
Unconfirmed, but the six executives seemed to be Avatars too.
The students said theyd learned everything from targeting to looting directly from the executives, not Kim Ji-gang.
Okay. You all go too. Do that shit again, and Ill kill you without mercy.
Hed already squeezed them dry.
Th-thank you!
Well live right from now on!
The students hurriedly fled.
Live right my ass.
Mukho grumbled gruffly as he watched them go.
He hadnt liked letting those four go earlier, and now all these guys too.
Its fine. Even without me, theyll end up in someone elses hands.
Stats dropped to level 20 levels.
Fastest way to recover was leveling up, but their levels stayed the same.
Meaning, stat gains from leveling were practically impossible.
In a world where power was authority, life would be grueling.
No need to dirty my own hands.
Jeong Hoon sat on the sofa, waiting and waiting for the remaining six.
And finally, he came face-to-face with them.
Its you, huh? The bastard who fucked over our guild master.
They appeared around Kim Ji-gangs age.
They knew of Jeong Hoon, entering with sneers.
Got a quest, I take it?
They shrugged at Jeong Hoons question.
And if we did?
Their levels were a bit lower than Kim Ji-gangs, 205 to 210.
All fully third-jobbed too.
Yet they acted casual despite knowing Kim had fallen.
Jeong Hoon chuckled.
Transcendents cant always communicate with each other.
Proof: still issuing Avatar quests to take him out even after hed demoted demon king-level Transcendent Mandora.
They shouldve seen him as a threat and pulled back.
Plus, they didnt know about Sloth.
Connection severed when Kim died.
That was exactly why Jeong Hoon had killed him first.
Fuck, why you grinning like that?
Crazy before you die?
They provoked while staying wary.
Makes senseguild master Kim Ji-gang, whod been growing via quest completions, had fallen.
Proof this Jeong Hoon wasnt easy prey.
Yeah. Show us your trump card.
Jeong Hoon personally unfolded Sky Piercing Step, closing in on the one to his right.
His fist swung toward the mans face.
Pak!
Jeong Hoons head snapped to the side.
He rolled his eyes.
Mana rippled on the mans face hed just aimed for.
Physical attack reflection.
Kekeke, I havent even shown my trump card yettrouble if youre already like this.
The one whod reflected taunted.
Jeong Hoon chuckled.
Then swung his fist again.
Pak!
This time, no reflectionthe mans waist bent in half, slamming into the wall.
Keheok!
The man passed out.
As Sloth started wriggling out again, Jeong Hoon blocked it.
Wait. Not now.
Jeong Hoon drew Leviathan and severed the mans throat in one go.
You have slain a Transcendents Avatar.
Due to the contractors death, you gain 10,000,000 experience from the Transcendent.
As expectedan Avatar.
You crazy fuck!
The remaining five watched in horror.
Howd he ignore the reflection? Simple.
It didnt cover the whole body.
Even legendary-grade Mukhos close-range reflection had low proc ratewhat about this guys?
Flaws inevitable; Jeong Hoon had simply exploited one.
Adversary of Avatars Lv. 2
-Type: Title
-Grade: Unique
-Low probability to nullify an Avatars power.
-Nullification limited to powers granted by the Transcendent.
-Title effect limited to Apostle-grade Transcendents.
Plus, Jeong Hoon had Adversary of Avatarsunwinnable fight for them.
He unfolded Sky Piercing Step again, slashing through the remaining five in a flash.
Keheok!
Gahk!
They pulled some trump cards, but to Jeong Hoon, it was childs play.
The fight ended in a blink.
You have slain a Transcendents Avatar.
Due to the contractors death, you gain 10,000,000 experience from the Transcendent.
You have slain a Transcendents Avatar.
Due to the contractors death, you gain 10,000,000 experience from the Transcendent.
Messages piled up repeatedly.
That Varus bastards gonna be pissed.
Not full annihilation, but losing seven contractors at once? Major blow.
Kkiiing.
Sloth emerged, starting to absorb their stats.
Absorbing the Avatars stats.
Absorbing a portion of the contracted Transcendents power.
Confirmed.
No grade up, but absorption speed like with Kim Ji-gangwild.
After absorbing the six, Sloths stats neared 120 across the board.
Absorption done, Sloth retreated into its shell.
Alright, Golden Raccoons settled.
He didnt expect crime to vanish.
Sudden power had turned the world lawless.
Which was why he had to end this game.
Then, a rift tore open before Jeong Hoon, revealing familiar eyes.
The time has come.
Baal.
Finally here.
Jeong Hoons lips curved up.
