The Wise Cleaning Life Of A Returning Genius Hunter [EN]: Chapter 318

317

[Unique Skill: Emperor – Coronation]

[From this moment on, you can use all allies’ Unique Skills.]

Zhiing—.

A golden crown floated above my head.

[Unique Skill: Hypanic Berserker]

Kugugugu—!!

Soon, my whole body turned red.

I felt something boiling up from deep within.

[Yaksha (夜叉) – A fierce, often demonic, guardian deity]

Bang—!!

Kwagwang, Kung—!!

I entrusted myself to instinct and began to drive Secretary-General Wesley back.

Unconditional charge and reckless attacks, consequences be damned.

My body grew increasingly hot, and my movements accelerated.

Of course.

[Unique Skill: Genesis]

[Shelter]

Kang—!

That attack alone couldn’t penetrate the transparent wall surrounding Secretary-General Wesley.

“……Tch.”

Of course, if I pushed my firepower to the limit as before, enough to distort space, an attack would be possible…

‘Right now, my Unique Skill is far from pure firepower…’

Currently, my Unique Skill isn’t about overwhelming force, but about amplified power when fighting together.

In other words, facing him alone, I lack the strength to truly push Secretary-General Wesley.

But…

[Unique Skill: Apocalypse]

[As long as the Unique Skill lasts, all stats of the caster continuously increase.]

[Unique Skill: Thousand-Armed Guanyin (千手觀音) – A Buddhist deity embodying compassion]

Gugugugugu—!

I currently know all the Unique Skills of the WDSO’s operation team, as well as the guild and overseas branch forces.

If I combine them effectively, I can unleash an almost infinite array of attacks.

So, if I push it infinitely until an attack lands…

‘I don’t know if it’s even possible anymore.’

The thought flickered through my mind.

I quickly shook my head.

Yes, what does it matter now whether it’s possible or not?

Just do it.

[One of the Six Guanyin (六觀音中一) – Represents a specific aspect of the Bodhisattva]

Taat—.

I raised my hand and rushed in.

[Swordless – Holy Guanyin]

Swoosh—!

With a sharp sound cutting through the air, I aimed precisely at his neck.

[Unique Skill: Genesis – Awakening]

[Everything in the Universe (森羅萬象) – All phenomena and existence]

[Has absolute control in the designated space-time.]

[Time Break]

Tung—!

Before the attack could reach him, my body suddenly stopped.

No… my time stopped.

“What the hell is this?”

At that moment, when I couldn’t move a finger, Secretary-General Wesley approached me.

“What are you hiding… that you’ve become so weak?”

“……”

A word that stabbed like a dagger.

I was completely paralyzed, unable to move, and even if my mouth was open, I couldn’t utter a sound.

And at that moment.

Kwak—!

He grabbed my neck.

As he squeezed, I began to suffocate.

“Show me your full power quickly. If you don’t want to die so futilely at the end.”

“Keuk, keuek……”

His grip tightened, but I remained paralyzed.

As my consciousness faded while being helplessly strangled.

[Time Break – Release]

“Cough…!”

My body lost strength, and I collapsed to the floor.

“Cough, cough…!”

I gasped for breath and coughed.

Secretary-General Wesley looked down at me and said,

“At least in Germany, you made even me feel fear. But what is this now?”

“……I told you.”

I tried to gather my senses and spoke.

“People change sometimes.”

But Secretary-General Wesley didn’t react.

I looked up at him and clenched my teeth.

I have to admit it.

The current me doesn’t have the strength to beat that bastard.

Even if I can win the war, I can’t bring down the leader.

‘Damn it……’

I muttered and glanced back.

The black hole that had swallowed the sky was much closer than before.

Already, the upper part of the building was starting to be sucked in, and small trees and stones were being pulled out one by one.

Soon, it will affect the people who are hiding.

‘How much time is left……’

10 minutes……?

No… maybe less than 5 minutes.

So…

I have to end it here somehow.

“So, you’re hiding something.”

As I forced myself to get up, Secretary-General Wesley spoke.

But I shook my head.

“There’s nothing like that.”

I wish I had something like that.

But what can I do?

Even if I have nothing, I have no turning back now.

And above all.

“There are many eyes watching, so shouldn’t the end be a bit cool?”

[Unique Skill: Emperor – Coronation]

[Unique Skill: All Alone]

[Unique Skill: Eternal Prism]

Taat—!

I immediately took an offensive stance and rushed towards Secretary-General Wesley again.

And at that moment.

[Unique Skill: Genesis – Awakening]

[Everything in the Universe]

“I’m sorry, but……”

[No Way]

“I’m not doing this to look cool.”

Kkiiik—!

“……!”

Secretary-General Wesley, who was in front of me, suddenly disappeared.

‘No… did I move back…?’

With that thought, I immediately turned around again.

‘Damn it……’

Front, back, left, right, up, down.

All sense of direction was lost.

In that instant, as I continued to look around defenselessly.

[Space Press]

Kkeugeugeuk—!

“Ugh…!”

My body began to be crushed by something.

But I couldn’t see anything.

As if space itself was squeezing me.

“Kkeueueuk…!”

The pain was like my bones were breaking.

That situation was about to make me lose consciousness.

Even breathing was difficult, so my breathing gradually slowed down.

In that dazed state, I looked up at Secretary-General Wesley at that moment.

“……”

I lost consciousness.

***

“Hold on tight!!”

Kim Min-ju shouted in the middle of the battlefield, where a strong wind was blowing so hard that it was difficult to even stand, as the black hole got closer to the ground.

“I’m holding on, so hurry up and start it!!”

“Just a moment! The switch…!”

In a situation where she would be sucked into that black hole as soon as she lost a little bit of strength, Kim Min-ju slowly fumbled for the switch on the machine.

Ttak—.

“It’s done!”

Soon, power was supplied to the large machine.

But…

「The etheric wave is unstable. Please try again in a safe place.」

The voice coming from the machine.

As expected, it didn’t work properly as Chloe said.

“Should we just take it into the building? No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem to work here!”

When Han Yu-bin said that, Kim Min-ju fell into thought for a moment. And then she carefully asked.

“How many minutes are left now?”

“5 minutes until it completely comes down to the ground… Considering the time it takes for the troops to move to the gate, about 3 minutes.”

“Then there’s no time to take it to the building.”

Kim Min-ju answered firmly.

“We have to make it work here somehow.”

“Is there a way?”

“……”

Kim Min-ju was reluctant to answer.

But only for a moment.

“Let’s dig a hole and bury it.”

She came up with a rather unexpected answer.

“What do you mean…?”

“It can never be stabilized if it’s exposed to the outside. If we bury it in the ground to some extent and fix it, there’s a possibility.”

“…Okay.”

Once Han Yu-bin nodded, she immediately rolled up her sleeves.

[Unique Skill: Hypanic Berserker]

[Unique Skill: Thousand-Armed Guanyin]

Kung—!!

Together with Kim Min-ju, she broke the asphalt and began to dig out the firmly packed ground.

When a certain depth was reached, the two immediately put the gate inside and covered it with soil to fix it firmly.

Kugugugugu—!

In the meantime, the hole got closer, and now the noise of the hole sucking in the earth was so loud that it was deafening.

“It’s done!”

“Try to start it!”

Soon, Kim Min-ju activated the gate once again.

「The etheric wave is unstable. Please try again in a safe place.」

“……”

“……Shit.”

A desperate voice came out again.

It failed again.

The two closed their mouths tightly and lowered their heads.

Is there no other way anymore? They bit their teeth at that thought.

“…We might be able to bury it deeper.”

Kim Min-ju, who still couldn’t give up, opened her mouth again.

But Han Yu-bin shook her head.

“No, we don’t have time for that! We should evacuate now…!”

“Then go in first.”

Kim Min-ju cut her off and said in a calm voice.

At the same time, Han Yu-bin’s eyes widened.

“I’ll try it alone here. So, Yu-bin, go in first……”

“What…! What’s with the trying to be cool alone in this situation!”

At that moment, Han Yu-bin cut her off and shouted.

“It’s not about being cool, it’s naturally as the head of the operations headquarters……”

“That’s bullshit! Who’s going to command them if the headquarters chief dies! The person who has to survive until the very end!”

“……”

Han Yu-bin continued to speak in an excited voice, even pointing her finger.

“If you’re the head of the operations headquarters, think about surviving to the end like the head of the operations headquarters!”

“……Yes, yes?”

“If you’re the head of the operations headquarters, think about surviving to the end like the head of the operations headquarters!”

Han Yu-bin continued to scold Kim Min-ju like that.

“I’ll do this.”

She conveyed those words.

Of course, there was no way Kim Min-ju could accept that.

“D, don’t say such nonsense! Why would Yu-bin……!”

“We don’t have time to argue right now? Get out of here quickly!”

“I don’t want to! If you’re going, Yu-bin, you go!”

“Ah, seriously! You’re not listening!”

A desperate situation where every second counts.

While the two women were wasting time like that.

“Don’t fight. We don’t have time.”

“……!”

“……!”

Another person’s voice was heard from behind.

The two immediately turned their heads.

“I’ll do this.”

There stood none other than Secretary-General Park In-beom.

“S, Secretary-General…?”

“Why did the old man come out here again, it’s dangerous!”

At Han Yu-bin’s words, a vein popped out on Secretary-General Park In-beom’s forehead.

But only for a moment.

“…It’s okay. We don’t have time to argue, so you two go in quickly.”

“……”

“……”

He spoke calmly, but the two still didn’t seem to want to move.

Then Secretary-General Park In-beom shook his head and sighed deeply.

“Sigh… These youngsters really don’t listen. Back in my day, we followed orders without saying a word.”

“That doesn’t work for the younger generation.”

“Ha! Well, this is all a generational difference.”

Secretary-General Park In-beom then slowly moved his steps and opened his mouth.

“So, let’s just say that the old generation is here.”

Soon, he stood in front of the two.

“From now on, it’s your era.”

[Unique Skill: All Alone]

[Outlaw (野人) – A person who lives outside the law or societal norms]

Thwack, Thweok—!

He swung his fist at the two.

***

“Heok, heok……”

Rough breathing.

Secretary-General Wesley looked down at Kim Jun-woo, who was lying on the floor and barely holding on to his mind.

“You’re quite something, really.”

Secretary-General Wesley clicked his tongue and muttered.

It’s an attack that would have killed other people several times over.

A state where space itself is distorted, and breathing and movement are completely blocked.

How many people can withstand that situation?

But, he is Kim Jun-woo.

It’s natural that he doesn’t die from this much.

But somehow, he was more powerless than expected.

His combat sense is still there… but his firepower is somehow not as good as before.

Back then, even he would tremble just standing in front of him.

He doesn’t see that venom and spirit from the guy lying in front of him now.

Of course, he is still strong despite that.

But he’s just strong in a normal way.

‘Is that why he didn’t participate in direct combat?’

Secretary-General Wesley smiled.

At the same time, a deep sense of futility washed over him.

Soon, he raised his head and looked at the sky.

The void he had created was opening its mouth wide and slowly swallowing the earth.

Anyway, all the plans are gone.

Even if I kill Kim Jun-woo here, I can’t get anything.

So… there’s no more meaning in fighting or controlling.

Anyway, when that void comes down, everyone here will be annihilated.

Including himself, of course.

If that happens, all the hunters in this world will disappear.

As a result, future subjugation will become impossible, and the world will naturally become a living hell due to the escaped monsters.

This is the only mark that Secretary-General Wesley can leave behind now.

If I can’t have it, no one can have it.

Since it’s an unattainable goal anyway, I’ll just end it all here.

So, there is no next.

Because I will be the last generation here.

[Unique Skill: Genesis]

Soon, Secretary-General Wesley raised his hand towards Kim Jun-woo’s neck.

Swoosh—.

The moment he drew his hand.

「…Dimensional Stone Gate activation successful, all troops have completed evacuation.」

A voice was heard from Kim Jun-woo’s radio.

Of course, Secretary-General Wesley couldn’t understand Korean, but Kim Jun-woo definitely reacted to that voice.

He still couldn’t speak, but he didn’t answer.

「And Secretary-General Park In-beom…….」

Soon, another radio transmission came out.

“……”

It could be seen that Kim Jun-woo’s whole body was tense after hearing this.

‘Is it a last-ditch effort…?’

I wonder if someone died.

The moment Secretary-General Wesley thought that.

[Unique Skill: Emperor]

[The death of an ally has been detected.]

[From this moment on, the caster is deprived of all control and command.]

[You can no longer command allies.]

[You can no longer use allies’ Unique Skills.]

[Stats no longer increase.]

Geugeugeugeug—.

The golden light that surrounded him began to turn black.

[Emperor – Deposed]

He, who seemed about to lose consciousness at any moment, stood up again.

[From this moment on, you are released from all responsibilities.]

[Unique Skill: Tyrant]

He began to emit a completely different aura than before.
