The S-Classes That I Raised - Chapter 133

-Krrrrr!

Having barely withdrawn its arm, the lycan quickly retreated back and snarled. Song Taewon lightly shook off his finger. The carcass and blood fell off.

“It was originally a very narrow ranged skill. It can be directed to two places at the same time as well.”

He said quietly. It must have been in reference to incapacitating the opponent’s skills. It would be a scam if the range was wide.

Song Taewon moved as if he was carrying me off with one arm. His feet became heavier. It was the skill that calibrates the body, and the density of the weapon.

That was exercised in two batches.

Kwang-!

With incredible amount of pressure, the asphalt shattered into pieces. Even the ground underneath was dug up deeply. Even though it was an S-level, it was an exercise of power that was difficult to produce by a human’s size and weight, not to mention in a stationary position.

Song Taewon moved towards the lycan, piercing through the spattering black debris. The wolf dodged by instinctively bending its body. At the moment when Song Taewon was believed to be brushing by the top of the lycan,

Pajeek!

The lycan’s neck was grasped by the extended arm. Somersaulting, making a greatly loop in the air, the tip of the foot smashed into the back, which was covered by the haired hide.

-Kaaack!

The beast, having screamed and spewed out blood with its back half blown up, began to puff up its body.

Shreek-

The wire that was drawn at no time wound up the neck of the bastard that turned its body as if to escape. Certainly, it wasn’t an ordinary metallic wire. Yet, it wasn’t a weapon that was appropriate to be used by an S-level, either. It was rather an ordinary weapon that even a mid-level hunter would use only as an auxiliary capacity.

As the wire was being pulled, lycan quickly swung its claw. Just before the claw was to make contact with the wire, there was a black light.

Ting!

In an ordinary situation, the wire would have been cut, but the metallic wire held its integrity although it looked like it was half way broken. With the unexpected result, the lycan lost its composure and was being pulled in quickly. As Song Taewon quickly lowered the wire that was wrapped around his hand, he raised the tip of his foot high.

Paduddduck!

The heel, smashing down like an ax, nearly ripped the wolf’s neck in half. The lycan was able to survive the attack, only by merely twisting his body.

Even without any weapons, he was making a mess out of the S-level monster that was supposed to have strong and durable body. With one-way pummeling, lycan rolled around the ground with its tongue hanging out.

-Krrruuung!

The blood soaked hands hit and grabbed the lower jaw of the wolf that was showing its teeth in revolt. The upper and lower jaws smashed into each other, and it swayed as Song Taewon’s thick wrist made a big circular motion.

Kwang!

Falling on its back, the lycan’s head smashed through the ground. The pieces of asphalt splattered like blood. Song Taewon’s knee was pushing down on the wolf’s neck, and his bare hand was twisting the uninjured arm.

-Kr, Krrr!

Although the stats weren’t the same, they were still the same S-levels. There should have been a great difference between the strengths as it was twice the size, it was that only the two legs of the lycan wriggled without being able to put up much of a fight.

It was because Song Taewon’s current weight was heavier than the lycan’s.

As its back was being twisted, lycan’s kicks weren’t able to reach its target, and Song Taewon nonchalantly crushed the remaining intact arm. Then he drew a sword, and after engulfing black shadow of the cancellation effect at the tip of the sword, he pierced it just below, and through the lower jaw of the lycan.

Pududuuck.

The sword travelled through from below the jaw and the crane. Twisting as if to be digging the ground, its struggles slowly came to a halt under Song Taewon’s knee.

In the midst of the thick stench of blood, Song Taewon rose up as he dropped his sword. As I was being carried in one of his arms, I too stood up after him.

[Fear Resistance (L)(SSS) – Cancellation of below legendary level coercion]

The fear resistance skill has been leveled down.  Although, based on the persistence of L-level, it appeared to have been only temporary.

(SS)

Once again, after another level has been lowered, the level fell down to the S-level.  Maybe it was because now that I was at the equal level as Song Taewon, I felt a slight coolness.  Yet, it felt OK still.

“How far can you lower the skill?”

“Normally, it would be about 3 levels.”

But since a double effect exists now….

(A)

My heart sank suddenly.  Shit, wait a second.

“Enough now, I’ll explain.”

Song Taewon did not even hear me even in passing.  Then B and then C.  The repulsive stench of blood reached my nose once again.  My heart beat a bit faster.  Damn it.

“The effective time depends on the opponent’s level.  It has not been used on an S-level, and the effect continues for about a half a day on an A-level.  On an F-level, I suppose it would last for over four days.”

“So, are you going to threaten me to reveal everything that I was hiding at this time.”

“Hence, stop being an item for the monsters.  Before I shatter it.”

“What?”

Song Taewon continued calmly.

“I overwhelmingly felt the reason for the chief of the Saesung Guild to be eying it.  You were very useful.  Even to the level of being excessively stimulating.  I even slightly felt compelled to go on a hunt for monsters, like now.”

That monster is not an implication of being the monster.  Mr. Noah, do not ever come this way.

“At the same time, I felt that it wouldn’t be prudent to leave Han Yoojin at peace.”

“I am going to be certain to use it at every chance after modifying the contract.”

“Do be afraid.  To the level of rejecting the notion of being taken to dangerous places.  And to the level that I wouldn’t want to kill you.”

“Those who are normally in fear of Song Taewon wouldn’t be harmed, Aaah…”

Suddenly, the intense feeling of pressure has become stronger.  I was shaking uncontrollably.  However, what was worse was the teacher skill.  As the opponent’s strength was directly felt, my body not only became frozen, but spiritually felt my neck being squeezed.

As the skill was withdrawn quickly, breathing was possible.  Without the fear resistance kill, it wasn’t possible to use even the teacher skill.

“Mr. Song Taewon.  I will do what I need to do whether I feel fear or not.”

I spoke, clenching my teeth.  I did OK for 5 years even without the fear resistance skill.  If I was to stay put at home due to a bit of fear, I would have done that long time ago.

In the end, what I was most fearful of was not the threats of a mere S-level hunter.

“And, Song Taewon, are you not the one who is truly afraid.  Don’t make others your excuses.  Since you are being drawn in, you want to kill me, isn’t that right?.”

Although I mentioned and mixed others as part of the excuse, it was Song Taewon, himself, who felt compelled or wanted to kill me in the end.  I reached out and grabbed Song Taewon’s collar.  As our eyes met, I felt like throwing up, going beyond feeling fearful.

“Just tell me honestly.  What do you want to do.  However, you must make a choice.  If you insist on your current position, I am going to erase your effectiveness.  Cause it becomes a hurdle.  If you want to live an ordinary life then just live as a government worker.”

“Do you have the skills to do that.”

“Sure in some way.  I’ll tie you up to a position and will employee every method to try to prevent that help could not be asked of Song Taewon.  Since you’re a government worker, you must follow the superior’s instructions?”

It might not be easy, but if Song Taewon was to actually live like a government worker then it wasn’t something that couldn’t be done.

“Quietly forget about what happened today.”

“…Truly you are a difficult person.”

Murmuring quietly, he brought his hand to my wrist.  That was, on the wrist band, to be exact.  At that moment, my heart beat greatly.  His thick fingers held on to the wrist band.  At the same time, a blue bird flattered out of it.

-Chirp!  Chirrrp!

It was a high toned sound as if to give a warning.

Flutter!

There was a sudden fire.  Red flame separated Song Taewon and me, and unable to take the heat that went beyond the range of plundering skill, Song Taewon quickly retreated, leaving me there.

-Beek-beek!

There felt a grace on top of my wrist.  Next to it, Iryn, the red lizard appeared.

“Lynn?  How did you….”

-Hyung, you said you weren’t going to go outside.  What are you doing here.

“…Yoohyun?”

The voice that came out of the lizard was truly the sound of Yoohyun’s voice.
