chapter 286
286 – Believing That You Know the Future
If you look at the activities of Inessa, the head of the ‘Tao’, in the larger picture, the goal of ‘Jewel of Evolution’ has not changed, so all you have to do is watch over the line.
‘Even if the schedule has been pushed back a bit, I won’t go to Korea or anything.’
If the big picture doesn’t change, Inessa will stay in Korea a little longer and focus on the supply and demand of ‘Goblin’, which has just gained momentum.
Due to the nature of her abilities, the time it takes for her to work on ‘Goblin’is one of the reasons for her stay.
That wasn’t her only purpose.
In this country where I had a terrible childhood.
She will also find and destroy the people who pushed her to the edge.
In fact, she firmly believed that since that might be her main purpose, Inessa would be here even if it meant taking risks.
‘I’m dissatisfied with the lecturer’s involvement early, but I guess we can take some action.’
Inessa needed to be a little bigger just for her baby’s sake.
Therefore, the interruption of the lecturer should not be excessive.
While Inessa stays here, she will discover people with ‘sentient’ abilities who have just revealed her abilities, and she will begin to keep them by her side her her her her.
If that happens, she will now be playing in the palm of her hand.
“I can see it. I can see it.”
Jo Ki-man is a returner who lives seven lives.
Although she is not as good as Inessa, the head of the Tao, she was bound to have the ability to predict her future to some extent.
And he was confident that this ability had become stronger with each episode, and had now reached a fairly reliable level.
“Inessa… You live a life where you see everything through, and the expression on your face the moment you catch it is truly a masterpiece. Kkkk…!”
Her distorted expression of her, as if she could not believe she had seen the future wrong, made him laugh every time he thought about it.
“The shell she replaces is so tough it’s not that good. The body inside is the best tasting. Kekekekeu-“
Jo Ki-man’s mouth was already watering, as he wet his lips with his long, forked tongue like a snake.
After calming down for a moment, he called his right-hand man, Jeong Ju-in.
“Yes. Did you call me?”
“Please distract the lecturer so that the people included in this list can continue to support the ‘Do’. It would also be a good way to complicate the guild’s financial problems that have been dormant. Putting pressure on the association’s finances. If you do that, it will happen naturally.”
“Yes. I will do it right away.”
Jeong Ju-in, who was suspicious of Jo Gi-man, who was alternately treating him with respect and contempt, soon disappeared without thinking about him any more with a single gesture of Jo Gi-man’s hand.
When Jeong Joo-man disappeared, Jo Gi-man quietly closed his eyes and observed the movements of sentient beings active around the world.
‘I’m so preoccupied with the rapidly increasing number of monsters that I can’t think of anything else. Thanks to you, the annoying guys have become more calm, which is a benefit to me.’
Monsters causing trouble around the world and top hunters working hard to stop them.
‘The more monsters you catch, the more frequent they occur. There is only one solution… To lower the control of the evil spirits that have taken root in other worlds.’
It was a method I learned while working in that world to kill the great mage ‘Falkai’ and accidentally had the experience of lowering the dominance of ‘Blue Eyes’.
‘Only I can travel the path that leads to a world ruled by blue eyes. Because this is what the blue eyes confirmed.’
So, the only person who can pull the world out of the abyss is yourself.
Softly-
The joy of seeing clear evidence one by one that you are the center of this world.
And the process of saving a world that has fallen to the ground and being revered as a god, and the experience of eating alive the believers who worship him as a god.
It was always thrilling to see the believers distorted in shock, despair, and anger when they were eaten by the god they had trusted and trusted so much.
Just imagining it is so much fun that I want to go out right away and grab someone and rip them to pieces.
Such a stimulating experience was the ultimate pleasure, far surpassing the pleasure one feels while embracing a woman.
In a way, it was natural that he, caught up in such twisted desires, would no longer be interested in the opposite sex.
The work of slowly destroying the enemies who had ruined his life was already done, so there was nothing more to do.
‘If only I could continue this life forever.’
That kind of desire started boiling over at some point.
Therefore, Jo Ki-man earnestly requested his successor, Seven Headed Dragon, that he did not want this episode to be the last, and surprisingly, he had told him a few days ago that there was only one way.
“Hey… Is it really the only way to increase the number of regressions by killing ‘Blue Eyes’?”
[…
Jo Ki-man asked quietly into the air, and after checking the seven-headed dragon’s answer again, he nodded and sighed.
“…Tight guy.”
‘The disappearance of blue eyes… I don’t know if that’s possible. I saw hope last time, so it’s not completely impossible.’
He tapped his desk with his fingertips and opened the map again.
In this episode, the overall combat power of the top hunters was greatly improved, but their behavior patterns were much simpler than in previous episodes.
That gave Jo Ki-man a lot of leeway.
At the beginning of this episode, I was anxious because I felt like something was going wrong, but in the end, things were turning out in my favor.
His eyes twinkled as he fingered his map.
‘Let’s see – next will be this guy from Montenegro.’
Aim for the most delicious time and eat each piece of fattening food to become stronger.
With that alone, Jogiman’s power was soaring to a distant level.
“Kkeukkeukkeukkkk kkkk- I just need to beat the giant’s dungeon and finally-“
His eyes stretched vertically side by side as he smiled bitterly.

The next day.
Yeonhee, who always slept in late on holidays, woke up on time today.
After we finished preparing, we headed straight to the association to get promoted.
When we appeared in the lobby of the association building, we again attracted people’s attention. I was able to move on to the next step more smoothly than when I came before.
And as soon as I arrived at the lobby of the C-class promotion center in the basement, people’s interest exploded again, and even I was taken aback by the larger-than-expected response.
– Oooh…?! It’s Lee Yeon-hee!
– That person is a summoner who is said to be the strongest in Class D along with Noh Hayun… But who is the person next to him?
– Look at the magic attribute. Wow… That’s crazy. Doesn’t that mean that your magic attribute level has already reached four figures?
– They say they operate a hundred summoned animals at the same time, so that might be the case.
‘Since when did there become a hundred summons?’
– Crazy… Handling a hundred ego-driven summons at the same time? Is that possible? It’s like looking to the left while looking to the right.
– Don’t try to understand genius. It just reduces your confidence. We just have to go our own way.
– Fuck… I don’t know. I feel well. I have springs.
– Just by looking at Ha Gwan, she’s so pretty… I’m sure her voice is melting, right?
At the same time, more than a hundred hunters reveal their dark feelings toward us without filtering, saying one thing at a time. At that moment, a dark magical energy swirled around us, so much so that our cloaks fluttered.
“Uh… Hey, Ilwol. Let’s go to the corner.”
Yeonhee must have been very surprised, so she followed her instinct and moved to a corner where there were no people.
But as people flocked to the place we were moving, the surrounding area became crowded again.
They seemed to notice for a moment, but then they began to actively approach us.
“Look, we are planning a merger with A-class hunter Kim Jin-ah-“
“Can I post the photo I took on social media?”
“I heard that the contract with the White Knight Guild hasn’t been completed yet. Is that true?”
Requests for photos and autographs were basic, and there were especially many people offering to invite me to video platforms, so I ended up stepping forward and blocking them.
“What is this armor? Are you a manager?”
“Please come out a little bit. They say you only need to take one picture.”
As people suddenly gathered and Yeonhee was cornered, I thought it wouldn’t work and breathed the energy of flame into my body.
When I transformed into the intermediate form before transforming into [Battle Type], People were scared and backed away, and some even pulled out weapons from subspace.
– Surprise! What is this? It was a monster, right?
– Hey hey, it doesn’t look good for a summoner to threaten with a summoned animal.
‘Wipe your spit and say things like that, you idiot.’
The guys were pushing their way in just to see Yeonhee’s face. When I actually scared them, they made me laugh.
– Those in the waiting room are asked to refrain from approaching other hunters. We inform you once again. In the waiting room─
– Joy! Oh, it’s ridiculously expensive.
After the broadcast came out, the people who returned to their seats grumbling were now paying more attention to me than to Yeonhee.
– Is that guy the summoned beast of Lee Yeon-hee, the so-called Shinigami?
-Is that what it looked like? It’s completely different from what you saw in the picture, isn’t it? Didn’t he look like a complete monster?
– I heard it’s a rare monster that goes from a skeleton soldier to a wizard tech… Why is it wearing full body armor like a warrior? Is it a bluff?
– He’s a skeleton wizard… I wonder if he’s trying to make a lich.
– Richie is not the name of anyone’s dog. Tsk tsk – I’m just saying whatever comes out.
– …What did you just say?
– Why are you talking so thoughtlessly that I wake up?
– What the fuck?
– Wow, why are you having a fight? Arthur. Melee type is my food. Even if you get angry, the way to extend your life is to just endure it like an asshole.
– Ugh… We’ll see after the exam.
– As much as possible?
‘Eat as you grow older and act childishly… Stop coming here and fighting. Not even children.’
When people who awaken at a young age and live with their own egos gather in an enclosed space, such small fights often arise.
Many hunters who gain powerful talent and power tend to lose self-control and become simple-minded in return, and they were exactly that type.
‘I’m already tired. Now that I think about it, compared to those people, our party members are really nice and gentle kids.’
Suddenly, I remembered Noh Hayun’s face, who had attacked me relentlessly, but that’s because it’s relatively true.
Anyway, I was prepared to be talked about by people when I came here, so I sat next to Yeonhee again and watched the hunters closely.
“Ilwol, what do you think…? Can you sense someone with a sinister energy?”
“Tick…”
“Phew, that’s good. I have to be nervous wherever I go. I’m a little tired, right?”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
First of all, I didn’t detect any hunters with suspicious aura.
‘Among these many hunters, there is no way there is not one…’
Most of the hunters who came to take the promotion test were waiting while hiding their magical energy as much as possible, so it was impossible to say for sure that there were no suspicious people.
‘Are there any of those guys?’
We met twice in the D-class dungeon, and when we said our final goodbyes. A four-member group from the assassination group ‘Trail’ who excitedly said they would join forces after being promoted to C level.
Since his progress was faster than ours, I thought he would be promoted around the same time, so I looked for him, but I didn’t see him here.
– Member number 47, to the C-level promotion test site─
Even though we said we would arrive early, we were the 47th in line, and we had to wait for over an hour to enter the upgrade testing center.
And waiting for us at the testing site was, of course, Maeng Seong-yong, who had tested us last time.
