I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 199

Episode 200

“Wow….”

It was a lot closer than I thought.

A scream-like sound escaped my mouth without realizing it at the terrifying sight in front of me. Even Seo Ji-han, who

doesn’t even blink at most things, seemed at a loss for words.

Besides, it was big . .

It was incredibly huge.

Because it was so close, it was hard to see where it ended. It was so huge that it seemed more

like a unit for counting an area rather than a living thing. It was a

huge hole with all kinds of energy swirling around.

It was a predator at close range. This was my first feeling when I encountered it.

The pure white thing, which I thought was a predator’s tooth, was caused by the light being sucked into the hole colliding and scattering. In

fact, I thought I would hear a monster-like sound like kuwaaah or murmur, but it was very quiet.

Maybe it was the universe. I may not be able to hear you,

but anyway, it felt much more inanimate than I thought.

In fact, the boss monsters I had encountered were more monstrous.

I didn’t feel any threat or life trying to kill me.

What I felt from the predator was simply greed.

Everything it encountered. The desire to devour and devour endlessly.

Just as a tsunami does not rise up to attack people on the beach, the predator did not rise up to attack the earth. To be honest, it

seemed as if it did not even recognize me.

Did Seo Ji-han also have similar thoughts? See,

“You’re not going to pass us by and go to Earth, are you?”

Looking down at the bluish earth beneath his feet, he muttered uneasily,

“I don’t think so.”

The predator seemed to be doing nothing, but even at this moment, it was stopping because it was eating something.

There was no need to worry about what it was eating.

The gauge in front of my eyes was decreasing little by little. It was eating my defenses that the system had deployed.

So, I was . We have to kill it before the predator eats it all.

Otherwise, the moment the defenses break, I will be eaten, and then the Earth behind us. I cringe

.

“Let’s begin.”

I took out an S-class magic power increase potion from my inventory and poured it into my mouth.

The S-class magic power increase potion I consumed increased my magic power by 721. It increased

much more than when I took it before. It seems like luck is on my side.

Besides, I feel nauseous . The feeling was much less than when I took it before. I think this was due to the optional equipment items. I thought about

taking another one, but before that, I decided to take a shot.

“It won’t break the barrier, right?”

This type of barrier is broken when an attack skill is used from the inside out.

A representative example is the Sanctuary Barrier.

Before firing the skill, he suddenly became anxious and muttered, so Seo Ji-han took out the lion’s scythe and swung it.

Fit!

A sharp energy filled the pitch-black universe. It melted into the body and shot towards the predator.

However, before it could reach the creature, it was swept away by the energy swirling nearby and disappeared.

It looked like cotton candy had been thrown into a waterfall.

“I did my best, but it’s pointless. The barrier is in vain.” “You look fine, there’s no problem, right?”

Seo Ji-han, who checked the translucent barrier surrounding us with the naked eye, nodded and added,

“It was a good thing I didn’t bring Eundam or anyone else. I’m at this level, but if they had been brought in, I would have been eating popcorn in the back.”

Seo Ji-han’s quick joke was very helpful in relieving tension.

If he hadn’t confessed earlier, I would have had to stand frozen in front of a predator. Oh, maybe that was also a joke to relieve tension…?

Anyway, I am grateful for Seo Ji-han’s joke. I raised my magic power.

Even though I felt it myself, I could feel a heavy magic power flowing through my body and rushing to my forehead.

No, it didn’t stop there, I felt it filling up my whole body.

L35.

Chungwangpo, whose magic power has easily exceeded 1,000.

I am a pure white light. I was engulfed in it and gritted my teeth.

This is the first time I’ve fired the Chungwang Cannon with all my might since my skill level increased this much. I hope

it works!

Kuuuu –

A sound that couldn’t be heard swirled in my ears.

However, the moment the skill was fired, It was quiet.

A powerful bombardment that overwhelms all the scenery and senses of the place.

Yes, I shouldn’t use this on Earth.

“Wow…”

Mr. Seo Ji-han. Drool is dripping from my mouth.

In conclusion, it worked!

That worked great too!

The predator we were seeing was the mouth part at the front of its long body.

The Chungwangpo I shot perfectly pierced the elongated body of a predator like an earthworm.

At first, the dark red energy near the predator seemed to pop out and block the Chungwangpo, but there was no way such a shallow energy could block this monstrous Chungwangpo! haha.

Chungwangpo easily broke through that defense and penetrated the predator.

This honor to Kergis.

The L35 Chungwang Cannon is so powerful that it can be said to be a true planetary weapon.

“Moya, you really look like a monster…”

Even Seo Ji-han, who up until now had only told me that I was cool, strong, and good at whatever I did, reacted this way.

If this was the case, even Earth would have seen me overcome a predator.

This is possible.

The odds of winning are high . Yes.

I gained confidence and steadily attacked the predator.

As my bombardment progressed, step by step, the predator gradually decreased in size.

If it continued like this, honestly, it was an easy victory.

“It feels more like cleaning than a battle.”

“Hmm.”

This situation was like taking turns hitting a predator who was pouting and saying, “No, I can’t,” with artillery fire. It

really felt like cleaning up rather than a battle.

Plus, since the predator wasn’t attacking me, it didn’t even feel like a battle.

No, to be exact. Rather than not attacking, it is correct to say that the system’s barrier for adversaries is blocking attacks. All

I had to worry about was watching the barrier gradually decrease and eliminating the predators efficiently without wasting magical power. It was a

very solemn and intense battle . Compared to what I expected, it was a ridiculously business-like situation.

“How’s your magic? Are you okay?”

“yes. It’s a good thing I only took one potion. “I was a little worried, so I thought about taking two, but I ended up feeling sick for no reason.”

Thanks to the increase in magical power, it was not too burdensome to use the Chungwangpo like this.

The remaining barrier was about 30% and a similar amount of magic power remained.

“I think it will be over in about two or three more steps. Shall we finish it all at once?”

Without waiting for an answer, I raised my magic power.

I’m so glad that the L level damage came through.

But was relief too early?

The moment the Chungwang cannon, built with all the magic power, hit the predator directly, a different reaction appeared than before.

“…uh?”

It was a predator that used to shoot chungwang cannons, but this time it was a little different.

The moment the pure white ray, which had been extending in a straight line, reached the predator, it was slightly bent and missed.

The Chungwangpo that passed by the predator sculpture was seen extending out and hitting the moon behind it violently.

The sight of rock fragments flying from the moon like sand and extending into outer space due to the impact was extremely unrealistic.

However, what chilled my stomach the most was the sudden excitement and swelling of the predator.

The predator that deflected my Chungwangpo pulsated loudly, like a heartbeat, and swelled to about three times the size of the remaining piece, then sank.

“…It’s not that unusual.”

“It’s ominous. Let’s finish this quickly.”

Suppressing my anxiety, I raked the Chungwangpo again.

But the predator was faster than my skills. A dark red energy of a different intensity than before suddenly bloomed and spread at an uncontrollable speed.

I was stunned by the scene that followed

. As if I had rewound time, the bodies of the predators I had eliminated were coming back

one by one. And in a very short time, they had recovered to the same size as when I first saw them. All

over again?

There was 25% of the barrier remaining and there was still magic left. .

But….

“We have to collect it!”

There was no time to continue thinking.

As Seo Ji-han shouted, the sight before my eyes turned bright red.

At the same time, a shock wave like an earthquake spread throughout my body along with a snapping sensation.

The durability of the adversary’s barrier was greatly exhausted.

1% of the remaining barrier

was just hit. The durability of the barrier was reduced by more than 20%?

The message continued with a sense of despair that ate away at my heart.

I had a gut feeling. I

had lost.

I couldn’t believe it had gone so smoothly.

How was I supposed to fight against an enemy who completely revived at the last moment? Are you doing it?

Before the barrier is truly destroyed, the battle results are judged.

Judgment details: Defeat of the opponent.

Depending on the decision, the Final Hall will be re-run according to the emergency refugee response protocol.

The Last Hall… Re-run?

I lost. Wouldn’t that end with a predator devouring the entire Earth?

Suddenly, something I heard when I was persuading the kings of the dungeon came to mind:

‘If you truly want to fight against me, I see no reason to hand over the crown.’

What the blue dragon Saphinis said.

At the time, I was too busy to think about why he came to that conclusion, but the dragon knew.

If the adversary is defeated, the final hall will be held again.

And when that hall progresses, the predator will return again. The barrier that will block….

Since the adversary has been defeated, the penalty is settled.

The soul energy of the extinction target is recovered.

Extinction penalty is applied to: Human

resources are obtained and rebuilt in this way.

Ah, now I understand.

I finally understood the text that was displayed

in the system message when I finally chose to fight against the predator. The system message I saw at that time read as follows:

Penalty for losing in battle with a predator: Extinction.

If you lose, you’ll all die anyway, so what’s the point? I was wondering if you were going to tell me the details…

This is why there was a need to separate the penalty called ‘extinction’.

I was in a dazed state, thinking that it was a good thing.

Are we really all going to die?

Because I didn’t choose to evacuate?

That was it.

Penalty The moment an error occurred

, the window in front of me shook and a new message appeared.

Then, countless messages appeared at an unrecognizable speed, and suddenly all the windows disappeared and appeared again and again.

…Is it broken?

There are multiple registered data.

Data matching process in progress.

Because it is an emergency, some procedures are omitted.

Target identification system is omitted. Analyze existing data.

Error occurred .

Retry data matching work.

Error occurred .

In reality, it was a very short period of time, but it felt like the system was running for a long time. An error message popped up.

All this time, I was anxiously following the message, unable to figure out whether I should say goodbye to Seo Ji-han or not.

And finally.

Data matching completed.

I will use the initial registration data from the Hall of Finality. .

Extinction penalty applies to: Fleas,

yes?
