-Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It pours.

An enormous amount of dimensional currency poured out from the corpses and equipment of the enemies.

Moreover, the loot did not end there.

[The constellations are amazed by your performance.]

[The constellations look forward to your growth.]

He even gained enormous support from the constellations who were impressed that he overthrew a top-class demon with shabby specs.

‘Ah. 500 Times more dopamine.’

Kang Seo-jun felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

I can feel the frontal lobe being drenched in dopamine.

‘Now. Now what’s next.’

It was time to hand over the man-eating parasite to Park Shin-hoo.

[You have selected 《Man-Eating Parasite Lv. Lowest Level》 as the trait to be passed on to the host.]

[The trait 《Man-Eating Parasite Lv. Lowest》 will disappear!]

[Host 《Park Shin-hoo》 gains the trait 《Man-Eating Parasite Lv. Lowest》!]

Originally, the reason I could not hand over the man-eating parasite to Park Shin-hoo was so that I could use the experience shuttle for a longer period of time.

If you carelessly passed on a man-eating parasite to Park Shin-hoo, who usually drinks elixirs like water, it wouldn’t be long before the man-eating parasite would burst through Park Shin-hoo’s stomach.

But now there is no need to worry about that anymore.

‘For the time being, Park Shin-hoo won’t even be able to see the spirit of the elixir.’

Park Shin-hoo was able to escape thanks to Kang Seo-jun, but he will not be able to escape to the academy camp.

In this forest, there remained guard groups spread out by the demons.

They were a precaution in case Credo missed Park Shin-hoo.

Kang Seo-jun was able to avoid being caught by using the ‘Eye of Providence’ to move to their blind spot, but Park Shin-hoo had no such skill.

You probably don’t even know that there are demons all over the forest.

‘He may have already been caught by the surveillance team’s demons by now.’

Kang Seo-jun had no intention of saving Park Shin-hoo from the beginning.

Because this isn’t some kind of cunning plan designed to lure people into eating Credo.

What Kang Seo-jun wants is an all-out war between the Taesan Group and the Red Cross Society.

For that, it was necessary for Park Shin-hoo to be kidnapped.

However, with this, the number of characteristic exchange tickets is now 0.

‘It will be difficult to deal with debuff characteristics due to parasitic growth for the time being.’

Of course, considering the elixir that Kang Seo-jun would drink this time, it was not a waste of money at all.

▶Luxury steroid for beginners in the entertainment industry

◆Grade

[Legend-]

◆Description

– A cutting-edge steroid pill developed by a legendary bodybuilder from a highly advanced space civilization for beginners. It is a luxury product containing the essence of nanomachines and chemistry. Although it is effective and has few side effects, it is very expensive and is in high demand among young, wealthy people in the downtown area. With just one pill, even a weak anchovy can gain muscles like an athlete overnight.

– When taken, strength, agility, durability, stamina, and senses each increase by +1.

– If taken when strength, agility, durability, stamina, and senses are all below 5, physical stats increase by +5 each.

※Caution! Stats over 16 will not have any effect!

─────────────────

An elixir that increases physical stats by a whopping 25 points in total when used by an F class.

Considering that most elixirs only slightly increase experience points rather than 1 point in stats, it is understandable that this elixir for poor use is of [Legendary-] Grade.

‘Keep this for now.’

Kang Seo-jun put 《Luxury Steroids for Beginners in the High Street》 in his shopping cart.

‘I was going to go home and eat anyway. It would be troublesome if I bought it in advance and lost it.’

I wanted to buy it and eat it right away, but that would lead to another Abomination Show that would twist my whole body, and I didn’t want to show that to Seo Eun-ha again.

‘Now all that’s left is to clean up the site.’

Kang Seo-jun looked around.

The traces of the battle still remain intact.

The ground is caved in here and there, trees have been cut down and fallen, and traces of the demons’ blood and demonic energy are everywhere.

Kang Seo-jun deliberately neglected all of that.

Only if we leave clues like this will the Taesan Group be able to track down the demons.

Those are the problems.

“Go, Kang Seo-jun! Can’t you hear us!?”

“What are you doing? Let me out!”

“Hee, hee!”

They are Park Shin-hoo’s henchmen.

Kang Seo-jun sighed as he looked at them tied to one side.

‘It would have been better if I had remained unconscious.’

With the help of Seo Eun-ha, we have captured them, but we cannot just release them like this.

In the fight between the Red Cross and Taesan Group, Kang Seo-jun must be a shadow.

The moment it was revealed, Kang Seo-jun could also become a target of demons.

In such a situation, they saw Kang Seo-jun overthrowing Mine….

‘There is no choice but to erase the memories.’

Fortunately, Kang Seo-jun had a way.

‘I have some extra dimensional currency, and if I buy one, I will have something to use it over and over again.’

Kang Seo-jun bought a mechanical bar the size of a ballpoint pen at a dimension store.

──────《Item》──────

▶Secret Agent’s Memory Remover

◆Grade

[Rare]

◆Description

– A tool favored by agents operating in the shadows of the world to hide their existence. You can erase the target’s memories of a desired time period.

– If the target’s durability, intelligence, or will stats are above 26, it may not be effective.

─────────────────

If you look at it this way or that, it looks like the Neuralizer from Men in Black.

However, this machine is not as gentlemanly as the Neuralizer, which erases memories with just a flash of light.

“Eunha. I need to take care of each person one by one. Can you hold me?”

“…How can I help you?”

Kang Seo-jun said while showing the memory remover.

“I need to put this in their ears. You just need to fix it to the floor so they can’t move.”

“I understand.”

Seo Eun-ha usually feels aversion to irrational violence, but in this case, she followed Kang Seo-jun’s words without saying anything.

This was because Seo Eun-ha also knew that the behavior of Park Shin-hoo’s gang was quite vicious and delinquent.

Seo Eun-ha’s credo was to be merciful to the innocent, but not to waste her emotions on those whose behavior was impure and delinquent.

“Argh! Argh! W-what are you doing!”

The little boy who was grabbed by Seo Eun-ha’s hair screamed while crushing his cheek on the dirt floor.

“Why don’t you let go of this?! Let go of it!!”

“Stay still. If you don’t, you’ll get seriously hurt.”

Kang Seo-jun placed the memory remover into the ear of the struggling bully.

“What! What are you doing!!! Argh!!”

“Stay calm, Eunha. Please hold on a little tighter.”

“Yes.”

-Aaaaah!

“Aaaaah! You! I’m going to report you! Kang Seo-jun! I won’t let you go!”

Kang Seo-jun couldn’t help but laugh at those words.

“Hehehe. If you can remember, why don’t you try it?”

-Click!

-Weeeee!!!

When Kang Seo-jun pressed the button on the memory remover, a noise resounded like a blender running.

-Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!

A sound that sounded as if his skull was being ground apart also rang out intermittently.

“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! That’s it!!”

The oppressed bully’s eyes turned in different directions.

It didn’t look good to see snot and drool constantly flowing from the nose and mouth.

-Chuuk….

Not long after, Yangachi lost consciousness and fell limp to the floor.

“I guess it’s because it’s new. The performance is excellent.”

Kang Seo-jun approached the next target with a satisfied expression.

“What, what did you do!? What did you do to her!”

“You’ll find out soon.”

-Click!

-Wheeeee!!

-Kagagagagak! Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

“Geeek! Geeeeek!!!”

-Sharp!

It sounds scary, but it is not a machine that actually grinds skulls.

It just destroys some of the memory cells in the brain with ultrasound.

Their intelligence stats will be permanently damaged, but they are villains who will never do a single good deed in their lives anyway. Alphano.

-Click!

-Weeeee!

-Kagagagagak! Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

“Geeeee!!!”

“Kiyooooot!”

“That’s that’s it!!!”

After erasing all memories of Park Shin-hoo’s gang, Kang Seo-jun woke up.

“Phew… This is also a problem. Wow, my leg is numb. Good job, Eunha.”

Seo Eun-ha also got up after rubbing her dirty hands on the dirt and wiping them.

“Me. But Seojun.”

Seo Eun-ha asked with a worried expression.

“I wanted to keep asking, but what do you plan to do about Park Shin-hoo? If he arrives at the academy camp like that and reports this…”

If the rumor spreads that Kang Seo-jun saved Park Shin-hoo, people in the world will also know of Kang Seo-jun’s existence.

However, there was no sign of worry on Kang Seo-jun’s face.

“Oh. Him? I don’t care about him.”

“Yes?”

“I won’t be able to go to the academy camp anyway.”

“…Can I ask what you think?”

“Of course. Shall we take turns talking?”

-Waddle. Waddle.

Kang Seo-jun walked out of the forest and explained his plan to Seo Eun-ha.

Park Shin-hoo says that she will not even be able to make it to the academy camp and will be caught by Jo Mine, a nearby guard.

After hearing those words, Seo Eun-ha’s expression was still serious.

“If there are more demons nearby, isn’t there a possibility that they saw us?”

Kang Seo-jun shook his head.

“Don’t worry about that. There is a barrier created by Credo around here.”

Kang Seo-jun looked at the sky with the eyes of providence.

A transparent curtain made of demonic energy covered the area in a dome shape.

That curtain is an illusionary barrier that hides one’s appearance from the outside and covers noise.

This was a measure taken by Credo to prevent noises, explosions, and screams from the kidnapping of Park Shin-hoo from spreading outside.

“Even though this is a deserted forest, there’s no way they would kidnap the heir of the Taesan Group in broad daylight without taking any action.”

“…I understand.”

More than that, Kang Seo-jun had something else he wanted to say to Seo Eun-ha.

“More than that, Eunha. I think I will be able to fix this body sooner or later.”

“……Eh?!!?”

At those words, Seo Eun-ha’s eyes widened to the size of a flower lamp.

Was that something that could be fixed!?

The facial expression that followed was one of emotion and joy.
