Chapter 432

licorice (2)

Near the top of a mountain in Bangladesh.

A man wearing a ghillie suit disguised as a bush lay face down and took a deep breath..

Then, he put his eyes to the telescopic sight of the large sniper rifle in his hand and used his supernatural ability..

‘There you are.’

A mind that moves as if it is being sucked beyond the scope..

It extended to a place that could not be properly observed even with the highest magnification scope, and soon it clearly illuminated a place over a dozen kilometers away..

Rumbling—Kwagwang.!

It wasn't just something you could see with your eyes..

The sounds coming from that place were also conveyed to him as if he were actually there..

‘Is it already over?.’

Buildings collapsing with a loud noise and smoke billowing out..

The entire area was devastated as if it had been bombed..

And the sniper was able to find the target he had come all the way to, walking slowly out of the middle of it..

‘What a monster..’

It hasn't been long since I heard that it was approaching the base..

Thanks to waiting in advance, it didn't take long to complete all the preparations, but how can it be said that everything is already done??

“Phew.”

He took deep breaths to control his heartbeat, which was starting to beat violently due to the agitation, and calmed down again..

For a sniper, excitement was like poison..

“Target captured. I'll get to work right away..”

[Are you sure it's okay? This guy is dangerous. So far, none of the warriors who have set out to take him down have come back unscathed..]

“under! No matter what, it's just a living thing. If life activity stops, death is the same..”

He communicated with his telepathic counterpart and took out something the size of his palm from within his arms..

A large bullet with golden patterns inlaid on a strange black shiny fuselage..

The sniper, who was quietly looking at an object that should have been called a grenade, slowly pushed it into the large sniper rifle in his hand..

Of course, that gun was by no means an ordinary item..

‘A Gigant Slayer who has destroyed countless buildings-sized giants. And it is an instant-kill bullet of the highest purity that can kill even giant champions. Can you really endure this??’

Because the materials needed for production were so rare and the process difficult, bullets of this purity were something he often used only in really important situations, even at his level of origin..

Rare objects that somehow allowed humans to establish their own territory even amidst the waves of giants that covered the world..

And the sniper was a hero who saved the country by sniping the giant champion, who was called a feared being..

He looked through the telescopic sight again and checked the target..

‘···It's an incredibly daunting feeling. Even though it is only observed from this distance,.’

Target point ten kilometers away.

There was a large man sauntering out, leaving behind a completely destroyed building..

A being who called himself ‘Saja Mask’.

The naked upper body was filled with muscles that took your breath away just by looking at them, and tattoos that doubled the ferocity decorated it..

Add to that the head of an unknown beast on its head..

His appearance with the collapsed building in the background made it feel like the incarnation of destruction had appeared on earth..

‘···Maybe I really will fail.’

Even he, who had gone through all kinds of chaos, couldn't help but feel that way..

But I had no intention of quitting my job now..

The location where he is now is more than ten kilometers away from the target point..

Because he had the confidence to get out before the guy got here..

Exciting — Exciting—

The heartbeat gradually slowed down..

At the same time, information about the target point began to feel more clear..

From temperature and humidity to atmospheric flow and target movement..

And finally, the moment the sniper's heart stopped completely..

A bullet was fired from a gun strengthened by his supernatural ability..

Likewise, it took less than a second for a bullet affected by this ability to reach its target point..

Throwing a bet—

The body of the lion mask swayed with the shock wave..

The upper body is tilted as if it will fall backwards due to a strong external force..

Because of that, it wasn't visible clearly, but the sniper was sure..

‘It was right!’

The fact that his sniper shot hit his target directly in the head.

Once you hit it, it's over..

The power of instant death, which spreads around the brain, one of the most important organs in the human body, will immediately permeate the entire body, no matter how close to immortal the person with regenerative powers may be.···.

“Hut?”

But those thoughts didn't last long.

I see him slowly letting go of his tension and sighing..

Because the target was seen slowly raising his bent upper body..

Crack-crack-crack-crack—

And it was a bullet that he was very familiar with..

Holding it between the teeth visible under the beast mask and chewing it gently.

A pair of radiant odd eyes looked exactly in his direction..

A cold chill ran down the sniper's spine as he felt like our eyes met even though it was obviously impossible for our eyes to meet..

“···Operation failed. location has been discovered.”

[shit! Leave immediately! This guy is a monster. If it's that far away, I can reach where you are.···.]

A series of loud noises were heard through the telepathy, but the sniper had no time to pay attention to them..

‘You blocked it? By biting it with your teeth too?’

The bullet was suddenly fired from more than ten kilometers away and flew at a speed exceeding 30 times the speed of sound.?

The destructive power contained therein would be enough to pierce even a chunk of titanium alloy like a sheet of paper, but where did all that enormous energy go??

But regardless of the confusion, his body had already completed all preparations..

In an instant, he stored all his equipment in sub-space and stood up..

Then, he activated the special jetpack on his back and glanced in the direction of his target..

‘It was a monster that went much further than I thought. I can't help it. I'll step back first... Okay?’

Then, the moment a green glow filled his vision..

Phuwak!

His thoughts went dark..

[···#%$@$?!]

A telepathic signal connected from somewhere urgently called him, but it could not be maintained for long and he had no choice but to disperse..

A corpse with no head could not receive telepathy..

***

“Sniff! Was it right??”

Harley, who was in a cool pitching form and with his eyes wide open, scratched the back of his head..

It was good that he spit out the piece of metal he had been chewing on in his mouth and threw it with all his might, but because the distance was so far, he couldn't be sure whether he would hit or not..

“Well, you guessed it right. Because I made it go back to where it came from..”

“Jewel Eye: Coercion”, which embodies mystery by manipulating the surrounding energy」.

It was a power that was difficult to use on Earth, where there is no special energy, but because the energy contained in the bullet was so great, it was easier to use it in reverse..

I chewed it hard and crushed all the properties that existed before..

‘Anyway, this is the last one, and the income is not as good as I thought. After all, they are quick-reacting guys..’

Harley, who was walking in the direction from where the sniper shot came from to check the result, rubbed her chin..

He was currently touring Southeast Asia, destroying the remaining branches of Beoncheonhoe one by one..

Unlike other avatars who are actively engaged in productive activities, all he can do is smash things up.?

So, I started visiting the places where the location was revealed.···.

‘Anyway, the ones that run away and hide are just disgusting people..’

Most branches had long since withdrawn..

Most of the ones that remained were just chaff and were used as bait and thrown away..

As expected, in order to properly eradicate them, it seemed necessary to hit them head first..

An entity that determines the overall course of action of the Buncheonhoe above the branch heads in charge of each region..

‘oracle···.’

Harley's gaze turned westward..

Although it is adjacent to Bangladesh, it is a large country with the largest population in the world..

To where India is.

“Tsk, anyway, everything that needs to be done right now is done... what do i do now?”

There was no need to rush back right away..

Unlike other avatars, his status was only symbolic and did not necessarily require him to do anything..

He had already disappeared and returned unexpectedly several times, and his acquaintances were also wondering if he would do the same..

“···Hmm, then maybe I should try a part-time job for a while.?”

He was quietly lost in thought and smiled..

Isn't there one item on the agenda that I'm most concerned about right now??

‘To be sure, it would be better to watch from the sidelines..’

It felt a little excessive to involve Harley in such a task, but it didn't matter since there was no work to do anyway..

You can think of it as inspecting the area you have protected so far in order to prevent accidents caused by terrorism..

“Haha! Then, where should I go... Oh, first, I have to check where the sniper came from..”

And after some time.

Harley's appearance as she took care of the unexpected surprise gifts that had been neglected after losing their owners disappeared as if washed away..

***

“What the hell is this?···.”

Jin So-ran, whose eyes were twitching, could not bear to speak and only opened his mouth..

As I had once seriously pursued this path, I was able to immediately realize how great the song I was hearing was..

“What is it like? This is much better than the previous one?”

“Is it better? This is just better···!”

She answered loudly without realizing it, but then closed her mouth to the melody that was still ringing in her ears..

The opposite sex, who had run away for a while, returned and suddenly realized who the person in front of him was..

‘Where on earth did this come from? And that in such a short period of time? Was it already complete? But this···.’

Jin So-ran, with a confused expression, looked blankly at Heinz..

Then, she looked down at the magic tool in her hand and looked back at him several times..

It was never her fault for showing off like this..

‘how? It's like... it's perfectly tailored to our children's voices.!’

Immediately after playing the recorded song to Heinz, the man with a stern expression showed up a few hours later and this was the magic tool he threw at him..

Magic tool with voice recording and playback functions.

As there was an alternative called a recorder, it was not a favored product among Howard Industries products..

There is some demand because it can be used even in environments where electronic devices fail, such as radio interference or EMP..

But the problem was the music contained within it..

‘Ha, this is really···.’

A beautiful melody that doesn't seem to belong to royalties, flowing along a cheerful K-pop rhythm..

But there was a darkness inside that could not be hidden..

A shadow that exists behind a bright musical image that sings of hope.

In the sweet scent of blood that I felt softly just by listening to the music, a fatal temptation reached out to me that I could not resist even though I knew it was dangerous..

Like the temptation of a beautiful vampire.

‘It's possible to express this just by playing.?’

Jin So-ran swallowed dry saliva..

It was not simply an emphasis on decadence..

So that it would not feel burdensome, it was based on a carefully coordinated design so that it could be easily absorbed by people of all ages and genders, regardless of nationality..

‘This is it. This is the only suitable debut song for Licorice.’

The song I had previously prepared had already completely disappeared from my mind..

Since it was a song that I received from a famous composer by paying a lot of money, I thought that it would not be that far behind compared to the song that is currently ranked #1 on the domestic music charts.···.

I couldn't even compare it to this now..

“Who is it?! Who on earth makes a song like this! iced coffee! If I had known that such a composer existed, I wouldn't have wasted my time. As expected, you are loaded! As expected, I still have a long way to go. Could you please introduce me to this person? I'd like to leave you with other songs as well.···.”

Her face was flushed and she was constantly radiating excitement..

Heinz took a step back and slowly stroked her chin while waiting for her to calm down..

‘The effect is better than expected? Well, since Jin So-ran is also a vampire, it would have been easier to sympathize with the song..’

This new song did not simply contain Elven Kingdom’s musical tendencies..

As the previous cultural invasion had already laid the foundation for an understanding of Earth's music, it was not that difficult to remove the differences between them and integrate them into one during the composition process..

In addition, Harris, who can feel the temperament of Heinz II whenever he wants, led the entire process.···.

“Well, since I have never done any external activities, I have no choice but to know. Since composing music is just a hobby, it would be difficult to entrust it to me as a separate task..”

It wasn't that strange that a song like this came out in just one day..

“···Whoa, I'm so excited. I think he's an acquaintance of Rod's... Ah, then what should I name the composer??”

Jin So-ran seemed to have noticed something about Heinz's reluctance to explain in detail and asked carefully..

Of course, he had no intention of taking on a separate task and had no intention of hiding his identity, so he answered casually..

“harris.”

“Are you Harris??”

“Yes, it's Harris..”

It was Harris's debut on Earth - a faceless genius composer who advocated mysticism..

***

Everyone had to be busy as the most important song in their debut was changed..

Naturally, the members of Licorice were treated more harshly than before, but no one was dissatisfied with that fact..

Because they were already in love with the changed song from the moment they heard it..

“Hmm, I think it would be better to turn the arm wider here.?”

“Sister! Let's guess again.”

“Yeah, that would be a good idea..”

Unlike previous songs where you had to force yourself to fit in, this is a song that sticks to you as if it were a custom-made suit..

There was nothing lacking or excess.

All you had to do was sing happily the way you wanted, and everything came together harmoniously, so there was no need to stress about learning the song from scratch..

“Filming is over! Move quickly! I'm editing it right now, so I should finish the rest by today.!”

“what? Reservations are backlogged? Then double the money... no, just give me whatever I ask for! If that doesn't work, tell me. I will speak separately to previous reservation holders..”

Since Heinz, the owner of the clan, personally took the initiative, everything proceeded quickly as if sailing on a favorable wind..

There was no way there would be any blockage in mobilizing all kinds of connections and pouring in unlimited talent and money..

The quality, which was bound to decline due to time limitations, was covered by overwhelming financial power..

“okay! Thank you for your effort!”

“Phew, good. Check carefully to see if you missed anything.!”

So time passes.

One day when D-Day is just around the corner.

One additional manager has been assigned to the Licorice team.

Even though he was a newbie, he was given the title of manager..

It was clear to everyone that it was a parachute greeting, but no one expressed any dissatisfaction with it..

“Hahaha! Nice to meet you! You can call me Director Hal..”

“Do...?”

“Risk! My pronunciation is poor. This is Director Ha. Please take care of me in the future!”

Wearing a bursting suit covering his rugged, muscular body and black sunglasses..

Because no one had anything to say to the new recruit who looked more like a gangster than a manager..
