Chapter 122: Episode 24 – Things that Can Be Changed (2)
In short, the small people were ‘human beings’ but they weren’t from ‘Earth’ like I was . There was a clear contradiction in opposing the human race of another planet .
Therefore, my current actions were due to the enormous ethics of ‘humanity’ or ‘justice . ’ If I opposed the ‘small people’ here then I would miss out on the achievement I needed for the ending .
This was the only reason I needed to stab Blade of Faith into the ground .
[The Star Stream has detected anomalies from you . ]
[Warning . Be careful to avoid being hostile to other disasters . ]
[If the hostile acts are repeatedly accumulated…]
Dust flew up and the Japanese screamed as they lost their vision inside the dust .
“Uwaaaaack! “What is this all of a sudden?”
“Cough cough!”
It was a blow filled with considerable power so the dust didn’t sink easily .
[A small planet’s constellation is touching his chest . ]
I was troubled for a moment . If I killed them with my own hands, I would be able to get a new scenario right away .
However, the penalty for it would be tremendous . I wanted to delay that moment as much as possible . That’s why, at least…
“Ahjussi, I’ll do it this time . ” Shin Yoosung pulled out a dagger that she had received from Yoo Sangah and stepped forward . “I will deal with both of them . ”
“Can you do it?”
“It won’t be a problem . ”
She was like Lee Gilyoung . I didn’t know why kids were so proud these days . Yoo Sangah would’ve stopped her but I wasn’t Yoo Sangah .
I encouraged Shin Yoosung . “You shouldn’t fight for a long time . Did you hear the penalty message just now? You should handle them as quickly as possible . ”
My options in this scenario would be wider if Shin Yoosung could deal with both these people .
I had a lot to do in Peace Land . Among them, one of the most important goals was to catch the ‘snake’ that Persephone mentioned . If I didn’t get any penalties in advance then I might be able to catch the snake earlier than expected .
“What bastard did this?”
Shin Yoosung ran through the dust towards where the voice was heard . At almost the same time, I hid myself using Recluse’s Cloak . It would be an invalid item if they had high level detection skills but these guys didn’t seem to have it .
Sharp magic power emerged from Shin Yoosung’s dagger and moved in a half moon arc .
“Uwah!”
The Japanese people withdrew from the dust . The earlier move that created the dust had been intentional . I missed a golden opportunity but there was a way to defeat them without me fighting .
The Japanese people were surprised when the child appeared in the dust .
“What, this kid?”
The Japanese incarnations spoke to Shin Yoosung .
“Kid, why are you stopping us?”
“Don’t you know what will happen if you do this?”
Unfortunately, it just sounded like a foreign language to Shin Yoosung who didn’t have the Interpreter skill .
“…What are you saying?”
Now the Japanese people noticed the situation .
“Are you perhaps from South Korea?”
“Ah, that’s right! This time, the first Korean group entered…”
“Dammit, the first group will be huge…?”
Their complexions suddenly darkened .
“Kid, get lost . We don’t have to fight each other . ”
“Don fight! Don fight! Okay?” (TL: They’re speaking in bad english)
“We just have to kill them . Small people . Kill! Okay?” (TL: They’re speaking in bad english)
The Japanese said they had no intention of fighting in poor English but Shin Yoosung just shook her head . Her sharp dagger pointed at them and the Japanese people shrugged .
“Get lost or die . It is one of these two options . ”
The Japanese started to slowly step back from Shin Yoosung .
“Damn… this doesn’t make sense . There isn’t a bounty scenario . ”
“My sponsor wants me to kill this little kid?”
“Aren’t there two of us?”
“Did you forget the fighting power of our first group?”
“Uh…”
They were clever people .
Everywhere in the world, those selected for the sixth scenario were the elites of their country . In Japan, the gap between the first group and those who came afterwards was probably considerable . Similar emotions emerged on the faces of the two Japanese .
「 …Should we run away? 」
On the other hand, strange delight spread among the small people as they watched the confrontation between Shin Yoosung and the Japanese .
“Ah, ahh…
“Why…?”
They were shocked . A small disaster was suddenly fighting against a bigger disaster .
“Perhaps it is the small savior?”
“Yes, the prophecy was right!”
[A small planet’s constellation is supporting the incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung . ’]
[A small planet’s constellation has sponsored 10 coins to the incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung . ’]
[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has received the possibility of a new scenario . ]
I watched the scene while grasping the hilt of my sword . It was a bit underhanded but it was a way to chase them if they ran away .
As I thought, things wouldn’t go so smoothly . The intermediate dokkaebi watched from the air and giggled .
[Japanese incarnations, you might think you are disadvantaged but are you really?]
In any case, this damn dokkaebi . The Japanese people realized something and muttered, “Ah, that’s right! That reminds me, the first group…”
“Didn’t Asuka become affected by a mutation? The Korean people would be affected by the same thing . I’m telling you now…”
“There is no need to tell me . In any case, she is just a Korean chibi . ”
The eyes of the Japanese people changed after they made a decision . Both of them stared at Shin Yoosung with killing intent .
“Yes, let’s fight once . ”
“I don’t like children…”
They let out unpleasant laughs . Shin Yoosung didn’t understand the words but she immediately grasped the situation . Their blades moved as the two men slowly surrounded Shin Yoosung .
The killing intent around all three people rose while the two men moved simultaneously .
Shin Yoosung had raised her agility to the maximum and avoided their blades without much difficulty . However, the difference was narrow .
These men might not be the best elites of Japan but they were part of the top incarnations . I saw their swordsmanship and was reminded of a description in Ways of Survival .
They used only one sword instead of two and it wasn’t the Large Rock Style . This meant I didn’t need to worry about them being Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro, some of Japan’s top swordsmen .
It wasn’t bad for Shin Yoosung’s debut .
“It will be hard for you to keep running Kid!”
Their aura became even sharper as their sponsors lent them power . The blade that wanted to cut the legs aimed at the legs while the blade that wanted to cut the arms aimed at the neck . It was natural to step back at the attack .
However, Shin Yoosung’s movements were caught by the swordsmen . No matter how high Shin Yoosung’s overall stats, the swordsmen’s combat skills were overwhelming superior . Shin Yoosung’s collar was cut and a small line formed on her arms .
I firmly held the hilt and prepared to move at any time . It was a pity that I couldn’t act properly as her sponsor .
“Die!”
The Japanese cried out in an exaggerated tone and aimed at other parts of Shin Yoosung’s body . This time Shin Yoosung didn’t try to escape .
Shin Yoosung was weak in strength and lost her grip on her dagger . The Japanese took this chance to dig through the gap .
However, Shin Yoosung didn’t panic .
[The character ‘Shin Yoosung’ has used ‘Advanced Diverse Communication Lv . 3 . ’]
Rather, she turned back and settled on the back of the monster waiting for her . It was a steel wolf .
“…What?”
It was the right judgment . The basis of fighting was to minimize the opponent’s advantage and maximize your advantages .
Awoooooo!
There were the cries of the wolves as dozens of steel wolves simultaneously emerged from the forest . She had tamed so many wolves in such a short time . She truly was the future ‘Beast Lord . ’
“Shit!”
The surprised men swung their swords at the wolves but the wolves were already biting onto their arms and legs .
“Fuck! These bastards!”
They might be weakened 7th grade monsters but the two people would have to consume a lot of magic power to deal with them .
It was truly a rewarding sight . However, Shin Yoosung was still unaware of something . This was why I warned her not to waste time .
[The Star Stream has detected abnormal behaviour from the incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung . ’]
[Hostile acts against a disaster have been detected . ]
[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has been given a first scenario penalty . ]
The penalty had finally begun .
“Uh…?”
Shin Yoosung groaned as she suddenly felt less magic power . Some wolves suddenly left Shin Yoosung’s control and returned to the forest .
[The character Shin Yoosung’s body size has decreased . ]
[The character Shin Yoosung’s total stats has decreased . ]
The Japanese also noticed it .
“T-That’s it! I knew this would happen!”
“Just a little longer!”
…It ended up like this . Shin Yoosung glanced at me with anxious eyes . I approached behind Shin Yoosung using Recluse’s Cloak and touched her shoulder .
Shin Yoosung’s trembling subsided . “…Thank you Ahjussi . ”
Shin Yoosung understood something and bit her lips .
[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has been given a second scenario penalty . ]
Shin Yoosung’s body size was getting smaller . That’s right, this was the result of a disaster abandoning their authority . Still, she had enough power remaining to take away the lives of the Japanese people .
Shin Yoosung showed the highest agility level and approached their backs using the beast .
“A-Aaaagh!”
Did she learn from watching Yoo Sangah? Shin Yoosung stabbed her dagger in a poisonous manner . Her dagger moved and a man’s carotid artery was cut .
“K-Kuoock, r-ridiculous…”
The man paled as blood gushed from him and he fell to the ground .
[The character ‘Shin Yoosung’ has defeated the ‘disaster without a name . ’]
[Major contributor: Shin Yoosung]
Shin Yoosung wiped the blood that splattered onto her cheek and moved to the next target . The man was terrified and stepped back . The steel wolves rushed in and bit his arms and legs .
“Kuaaack!”
Shin Yoosung approached to cut off the man’s breathing . It all happened in an instant .
[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has been completely deprived of the rights of a disaster . ]
[The dokkaebi of the Star Stream sees Shin Yoosung’s behavior as taking action against the scenario . ]
[The incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung’ has been given a third scenario penalty . ]
[The small person transformation will begin . ]
In this scenario, a person who gave up their qualification to be a predatory species would become the prey . Shin Yoosung’s body became smaller at an incomparable rate .
“Ah…?”
There was a small groan as Shin Yoosung’s clothes became too big and her dagger fell to the ground . Shin Yoosung’s height shrank from my waist, to my knees and finally to my shins . Then Shin Yoosung’s body was buried in her clothes .
Her stats diminished and her control became weaker, causing the steel wolves to return to the forest . A small Shin Yoosung emerged from her clothes and lumped towards the man .
“Yoosung, you can stop . ”
Shin Yoosung gasped for breath . There was a mixture of poisonous anger and grief in her eyes . There had been many fights with monsters but this was probably the first time she committed a serious killing .
“He is already knocked out . ”
Shin Yoosung stared at the fallen Japanese man . He was lying on the floor while foaming at the mouth . I tore away a bit of my clothes and covered Shin Yoosung’s body .
Shin Yoosung was as small as my fist and observed her body for a while . She probably realized what had happened to her . “We have to fight them in this state?”
“Yes . ”
“…How many are left?”
“A lot . ”
Shin Yoosung looked up at me with a complicated gaze . “Ahjussi, did you know? We will become a small person if we are hostile to the disasters . ”
I nodded and approached the fallen Japanese man . I checked and he was in his early 20s at best . He was still breathing .
“Are you going to use this person?” Shin Yoosung asked me .
“There is a person I have to kill before I change . ”
New messages rose as soon as I said this .
]Be careful to avoid being hostile to other disasters . ]
[Those who are hostile to disasters will lose the right to be a disaster . ]
There was still a dokkaebi having fun in the sky . Yes… Laugh while you can .
[The Star Stream thinks that your ‘disaster activities’ isn’t enough . ]
[If you don’t kill the rule of Peace Land in the next hour, you will be deemed as unwilling to act as a disaster and will be deprived of the status of a ‘disaster . ’]
I looked down at the Japanese man and slowly took off my cloak . There was one hour remaining . In this one hour, I had to catch their ‘king . ’
