Humanity Itself is Strong - Chapter 9

“Pleasss……sa, save me…….”

Flop.

The last gang member fell to the floor spouting blood. He massacred exactly 51 people, including Kim Joon-oh.

Now that Kim Joon-oh and his favorite executives have been killed, Kim Joon-oh’s gang has been completely punished.

“…….”

Lee Jin-Seong looked up at the nursery school swallowed by flames while looking at the man who collapsed on the floor with an expressionless face.

Booom……!

At that time, a sign called “Somang Nursery” fell to the floor and broke.

Lee Jin-Seong was caught in a strange mood at sight. The place, which had never been able to escape, finally ended it with its own hands, which had always appeared as a nightmare.

Lee Jin-Seong could only realize that he had regressed now.

He broke down an orphanage full of regret and despair and even killed Kim Joon-oh, the main culprit who killed the returnee of the last episode.

But the accomplishment of revenge was not so sweet. No, it was unpleasant.

“……I need to clean up the blood.”

Lee Jin-Seong throws off his bloody shirt. He walked to a manual pump on one side of the site. He repeatedly pressed the handle of the groundwater pump several times.

Chwwwaaaaaaaaa….

The pump quickly spewed clean water while coughing up black rust water.

Lee Jin-Seong washed away the remaining blood on his face.

Subsequently, he took off his bulletproof suit.

Toook, Tck, tkkk……!

Then distorted bullets stuck in bulletproof vests spilled on the floor. This bulletproof suit blocked dozens of bullets.

“…….”

Squeak…

After tearing up the clothes that had hardened blood, he looked at his body. Despite the bulletproof suit, there were dozens of gunshot wounds. As the bulletproof plate broke without holding up, the bullet that came through it was stuck in his body.

If the eye-opener is not equipped, it would’ve also been injured by bullets.

Even more so if it’s a rifle, not a pistol.

However, Lee Jin-Seong did not mind and began to wash away the blood from his entire body.

The blood in the area of the gunshot wound had stopped, so all he had to do was pull out the bullets later. The only problem was, he lost too much blood.

After the situation was sorted out, he felt sudden drowsiness.

“……was that too much for me to handle?”

Each gangster had been slaughtered until dawn.

‘To the town…..I have to go.’

This drowsiness did not come from tiredness. Now he was bleeding profusely.

Before regression, he was strong. No matter how big the wound was, it used to heal quickly, but now it could be dangerous with excessive bleeding.

He was staggering.

The balance of his body collapsed dramatically.

With the beep and sound, a tarot window came to Lee Jin-Seong’s eyes.

[The unnamed God demands that Joon-oh’s body be taken!] [The unnamed God recommends taking mana to recover quickly and survive!]

“……I don’t know how to handle Mana.”

In this world, things broke out with the event of a “cataclysmic change,” and since then, mysteries have been everywhere in the world.

And one of the mysteries was Mana.

The concentration varies depending on time and space, but mana could be very small, but there was no place that could not be.

It was the opener who used this energy to exert their abilities.

Therefore, what the opener can do through Mana is limited to his enlightened abilities. However, occasionally, there were others who are skilled in using the mana.

However, Lee Jin-Seong has never awakened his abilities, so he has not even been able to deal with Mana.

[The unnamed God says he’ll take care of it!]

“……Yes.”

As he spoke, Lee Jin-Seong headed for Kim Joon-oh’s body.

“…….”

It was the moment when he felt the back of Kim Joon-oh’s body lying on the floor.

[An unnamed God drives power, ‘source access’!]

At that moment, Kim Joon-oh’s whole body, which was touched by Lee Jin-Seong, began to bounce with a lattice pattern as if an overcurrent was splashing on the electronic circuit board.

The mana that remained in Kim Joon-oh’s body was exploding. And the spiraling Mana began to clump up in the air.

[The conditions are met, and you will be given a new card!]

Tsusu ssusu…!

Along with the notification, a tarot card suddenly popped up on the dead body of Kim Joon-oh.

On the card, two men and women in wreaths stood facing each other, holding golden cups. It was a card with a winged lion on top of the two cups.

[Two of Cups]

+ Name: Two of Cups Rating: Minor Arcana Explanation: Mildly increases the owner’s magic power possession. +

“This is……?”

And the card began to shine, and soon it was shaped into a new form.

Chiiiiiing…!

What appeared with light was a golden cup with blue liquid fluttering.

[The unnamed God has extracted Kim Joon-oh’s mana and urges you to drink it!]

Lee Jin-Seong picked up a golden glass and examined its contents. There was a sip of pure Mana itself that shone blue.

“How can I……?”

Mana Water. Therefore, mana water was called mana water when the invisible mana scattered in the air was condensed and turned into water. And it was very, very difficult to create mana water.

‘This…Even my teacher had a hard time making this after a week of distillation…….’

Although it was only a sip, it was not something that could be created at once.

“No matter how much water it is, it’s no use for me…….”

The only things that could be effective through this mana water were the openers who realized their abilities.

Beep beep!

But with a nervous beep, the tarot window came up again.

[The unnamed God says he’ll take care of it and do as he’s told!]

Lee Jin-Seong couldn’t do anything sharp, so he handed over Mana Water in a gold cup to his neck.

Mana Water passed by pleasantly tapping the esophagus like carbonated water. Lee Jin-Seong seemed to be awakened by the unexpected freshness.

“Whoo…….”

Then he felt the heat of the highly enriched mana water spreading from the chest in all directions. It became a signal.

[An unnamed God controls Mana to restore Lee Jin-Seong’s dropped blood pressure!] [An unnamed God coordinates manna to accelerate binary hematopoietic action!] [An unnamed God controls mana to restore and grow binary root structures! [An unnamed God…….]

Notifications popped up in front of Lee Jin-Seong’s eyes at high speed. Lee Jin-Seong was amazed at the phrase.

‘You can do so many different things……?’

The opener, which is good at handling mana, can only temporarily block the wound and stop the bleeding.

In addition, the brief stoppage also costs a great deal of mana, so mana is not used unless his life is at stake.

Lee Jin-Seong read the phrases quietly. Little speed of reaction, little strength, little endurance, little stress resistance, etc.…….

It was improving, albeit insignificant, overall physical ability.

‘……God is God. Is this it….’

Beyond the recovery that therapists can do, the God improves his physical abilities. Only then could Lee Jin-Seong recalls how great the unnamed God he saved was.

A being who struggled to save a world. On top of that, the owner of a fraudulent artifact called Purple Heart.

‘……how much greater it would be if it were at normal state.’

He was well aware that the unnamed God showed only a few abilities.

Ring.

[The unnamed God says he’s sorry that this is all he can do.] [The unnamed God is tired from using too much power.]

“Well…….”

The unnamed God was now very weakened. The magic power was also very scarce, which could have been extinguished if it was done wrong.

“……you didn’t give me your magic, did you?”

Lee Jin-Seong felt uneasy for some reason.

Ring!

[The unnamed God added just a little more.]

The anxiety was real.

“……I think that’s more dangerous…….”

[An unnamed God says it’s okay. He says he’s going to take a nap for a second.]

At the end of the notice, no more messages from God came.

“…….”

Lee Jin-Seong, who came to his senses, saw the burnt-down nursery school. All but a part of the outer wall had collapsed due to the blackness.

But Lee Jin-Seong’s body contrasts with such a scene.

“Am I getting better?”

Lee Jin-Seong walked slowly and looked at his wounds. Before he knew it, he could see bullet fragments sticking out and healing.

Indeed, the treatment given by an unnamed God worked.

The fuss made him laugh unconsciously. And then he thought about what to do.

‘First of all, I’m going to Seoul. When I go to Seoul, I have to learn how to do it right away.’

Talent is. It is supposed to happen for no reason and during an unexpected time.

But there was also the ability to be passed on to others, with an exception. And he will learn that ability and use it as a stepping stone to enter the military academy, and he will also meet his teacher.

‘I have to hurry before he dies.’

Lee Jin-Seong, who decided to do so, took a step forward but soon stopped.

“…….”

He took a look around the broken nursery school. There were bodies all over the place. Eventually, he turned back his steps and stood in front of Kim Joon-oh’s body.

Kim Joon-oh, whose neck was bent and died, was silent.

Whatever potential Kim Joon-oh had, the future he would reach was fatal to mankind.

“Kim Joon-oh, I’ll finish you properly now.”

Lee Jin-Seong murmured like that and dug a hole on the side of the nursery school site. He started building graves for the gangsters.

In less than half an hour, Lee Jin-Seong, who created an unnamed large tomb, left a message before leaving.

“Be born good in your next life.”

That was the last time with Kim Joon-oh’s gang.
