Hours and minutes of celebration and play passed, and the day ended after everyone returned to their homes due to the midnight curfew, to prevent unwanted incidents.
Meanwhile, Seok was walking around Verselkin Academy, following the scent of those professors who usually wandered outside of Gusemburg City at this time, from what he heard from the guards.
While Seok was looking for them, he heard the voice of one of them speaking while laughing loudly:
"It's going to be a nice night, isn't it, guys? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
He turns towards them, with a frightening smile on his face, then uses the dome of concealment and isolation so that they do not feel him, while he films what they are currently doing.
He finds six underage girls kidnapped, with tears flowing abundantly from their eyes as they look at the professors.
Dylan said lustfully while looking at them:
"Remain silent, ladies, it is too early to hear your screams and groans."
Then his companion, Masayoshi, took him away from them, while speaking with clear annoyance:
"You're scaring them. Someone might come before we can get them away."
Dylan didn't say anything, yet his smile was still plastered on his face.
For an estimated quarter of an hour, Seok filmed everything, including their statements and confessions of their heinous actions, while they were drunk due to excessive consumption of wine.
Which made the girls' looks become more horrified, knowing that they were not the first victims, as there were women of all ages who had been raped by those professors.
Dylan turned to one of the girls with a lustful look that made his facial features turn pitch black.
She screamed in an incomprehensible voice, because her mouth was covered with a cloth:
"LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALAL."
He tore off her clothes, exposing her breasts, causing the rest of the girls to lose consciousness from the severity of the shock.
He spoke in a tone filled with astonishment, while trying to approach her after she pushed herself back while trying to cover her body:
"You are too beautiful for a dirty commoner like you. You are scum who live on leftovers, and deserve to be slaves to satisfy the desires of us nobles."
As Dylan tried to touch her, Seok's hand appeared holding him, making the girl shocked and Dylan uncomfortable. He directed a punch to Seok's face, but he managed to avoid it before directing a punch to his nose, which sent him flying several meters.
He turned his gaze towards the girl who had covered herself, which made him surprised. He then threw his shirt to her, revealing his body full of tattoos that glowed with a very dark, blackish-crimson glow.
The girl covered her body with it while looking at him in amazement. He was still at the level of a saint, but he was able to defeat someone of the level of an expert ruler.
However, for Seok, who was a special grade curse, he was able to easily kill people at the same level as Dylan while he was still a child, let alone now, when he was at the Saint rank of Kuno, an entity who had reached the pinnacle of his realm in his previous life, he still maintained his power, but he still couldn't use it freely.
He spoke in a calm tone of voice as he untied the girls, then gave them his phone, and his facial features bore some embarrassment, as she looked a lot like his girlfriend from his previous life.
And something applies to her in turn, so she takes it from him while one of her colleagues unpacks:
"Take this to the director, he has the tool to incriminate them, but stall, okay? I want to kill them before Director Solliver arrives, if he decides to intervene."
She would shake her head as a sign of approval, and a subconscious smile would appear on his mouth, so he would move them to their apartments automatically, because he only had to imagine the place he wanted to go, so he could move there, but he preferred to search for himself, because relying on her would do him more harm than good.
On the other side, Dylan, whose nose was broken, was falling in front of his comrades.
After waking up from his drunken state, Hudson spoke angrily:
"Who did that? Speak up, Dylan!"
However, before he could answer his question, Seok appeared while licking Dylan's blood on his hand, with a terrifying smile and cold crimson eyes that made him look like a demon of gluttony.
An overwhelming desire to kill them and eat their blood and bodies in order to feed on them and become the strongest, as he had been accustomed to throughout his previous life.
The curse must feed to become stronger; Killing increases the strength of the curse, while eating increases its strength by double, or even 50 times.
"I did it, is there anything wrong with that, Hudson? Don't worry, you'll be dead in a little while, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You'll die, you'll die, you'll die! Ha-ha-ha-ha! You'll be my food!"
Seok spoke like a madman, an overwhelming dark-reddish aura emanating from his body, while his tattoos grew brighter to become a shield several centimeters thick, protecting his body from physical and spiritual attacks.
He started towards them, while a circular tattoo on the palm of his hand glowed with a bright white light, while he muttered in a low voice:
A giant dome was launched, swallowing a circle with a radius of 5 kilometers.
A look of shock appeared on everyone's face. They were aware of how strong Seok was. He had unlocked the Hidden Struggler rank during their battle against the Scorpion Organization, and moreover, they had the trump cards to win that day.
Moreover, they believed that he had killed all of the Scorpion Organization's remaining followers at that time, some of whom were one or two levels stronger than them.
Seok directed a strong kick towards Dylan's face, causing him to be thrown several meters, taking advantage of their distraction.
For Taki to deliver a balkuno-enhanced punch towards Seok's face, they wanted to fight him to create an opportunity to escape.
However, Seok had no intention of making them come out alive, so he blew Taki's arm off, turning it into a small ball of meat the size of a child's palm, before delivering his other kick, before he could even scream.
He looked towards the remaining five, who had moved away from him while looking at him with looks full of tension, and analyzing suitable places to escape, only to disappear immediately after, leaving Taki behind, because he was unconscious, and none of them wanted to bother carrying him.
So Seok devours that meatball, so his strength increases again, and the duration of using the absolute dome becomes 11 hours, after his many fights that raised it to this extent, to 11 hours and 10 minutes.
He put his leg on Taki's chest while holding his arm with great force, causing him to wake up immediately due to the bones in his rib cage constantly breaking, and his arm being deformed.
He began screaming loudly while spewing blood from his mouth:
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Please, have mercy!"
"R....jo....k, rah....m!"
"Rh…jok, rah…mhhhh!"
"Rhhhhhhhhh!"
However, Seok's crazy face did not change, and he spoke with clear sarcasm while looking at him:
"Why should I do that? Mercy is a blessing you'll never get."
He rips off Taki's other arm, and crimson blood begins to flow, covering Seok's face and armor.
Loud screams were heard by everyone inside the dome, except for those outside, because it isolated all those present from the outside world.
Which makes Dylan, Jason, Masayoshi, Hudson, and Jayden feel very afraid, as they try to escape.
However, Seok's smile grows as he uses Taki's blood as cosmetic powder, making him look like a clown, but only in crimson red.
He turns Taki's arm into a ball of meat again before devouring it, extending the duration of his dome's use by another five minutes.
Taki's gaze was filled with fear as he looked towards Seok, who was surrounded by a dark, reddish aura mixed with an indescribable killing intent and gluttony emanating from him, making him unable to do anything.
Seok brought his face closer to Taki's ear, and a slight smile on his face increased his fear more than ever:
"I wonder what it would be like to be a eunuch, Taki? Ha-ha-ha-ha! Wouldn't it be so much fun to see you in pain?"
Taki's face showed signs of shock, while he felt a warm feeling in his pants and a burning pain that increased at an extremely rapid pace.
Then a powerful scream was released, full of pain, shock and pure terror:
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
On the other hand, Seok was laughing hysterically near his ear, only to eat it right after, making Taki's pain even worse than it already was.
Seok moved away from him while wiping the blood from his face, then took three steps back, while his nails became three millimeters longer.
Then he laughed again while speaking with clear sarcasm:
"Taki, Taki, what's wrong with you? You look really pathetic. Aww, why should I see you alone? Your comrades have left you? Aww, poor Taki, you poor thing! Still, I'm tired of playing with a weakling like you."
After hearing Seok's pitiful words, Taki's heart could not be more afraid than he already was. His pure black hair turned completely white, and he lost the ability to speak from the intensity of screaming.
He looked at Seok with a look that had lost his desire to live in the first place. He was on the verge of madness. If the situation continued any longer, what frightened me was not the torture, but rather its terrifying presence, a mixture of a demonic aura, murderous intent, and absolute gluttony.
Seok's facial expression turned cold as he raised Taki, who had his eyes closed, unable to do anything but wait for his certain death.
Remembering everything that happened throughout his life, from big to small, which made him regret everything he did at that time. He wished he would be given a chance to atone for all his actions.
However, life's end is death, and its time has come. No other chances; He did a lot throughout his life, and death will be the only way to atone for his crimes, at the hands of a young man who has not reached the age of majority, just a minor.
Who would have thought that a person who was exploiting minors to satisfy his dirty desires would be one of them who killed him? However, Seok's lifespan was two thousand years as a halfling, who returns to life even after being killed for a period of time.
Then Seok closed his hand, declaring that Taki's death had come, and his body began to contract in on itself in a painful way that he could not express, and a large amount of blood came out that covered Seok's entire body.
Amid the chaos of blood, a meatball the size of the palm of an adult man appeared, radiating the energy of a fighter of the rank of an expert ruler, due to the fact that the mana core, datian roots, and gates were all gathered at one point.
It is the nucleus of the meatball, which made it a treasure for Seok to increase his strength.
The meatball then began to head toward Seok, who was looking at it with somewhat incomprehensible looks, holding it tightly while a dark, reddish aura swirled around it.
It began to shrink back on itself, becoming swallowable in a single bite. However, the concentration of energy within it increased to the point that it was capable of easily obliterating an ordinary world if used to attack.
So Seok swallowed it without showing any signs of hesitation, and an extremely terrifying energy began to form within the core of his psychic power, making its color even darker than it was, and the mana core in turn turned to the same color, as well as the color of his primal qi present in the roots of Datian, from a warm golden color to a dark, suffocating black color.
Declaring that the process of evolution and merging of both his human side with the curse has been fully completed for the time being.
However, the situation did not end there, there were always adversities that one had to face before any achievement.
The tattoos on his body began to glow, while blood flowed abundantly from their places, because his body was reshaping itself again. However, Seok did not scream, his gaze remained calm, he had endured pain like this countless times in his previous life in order to attain absolute power.
On the other side, a girl named Hinatako was wearing her new clothes, while remembering Seok who saved her, and a blush appeared on her face: "It's been a long time, Min Seok."
She then picked up Seok's phone, which contained evidence incriminating those people, with a small smile.
"It's payback time, ha-ha-ha-ha! What a lovely situation!"
Hinatako said happily as she left her room, meeting the rest of the girls who were with her previously, traces of shock still left on their faces.
She decided to go towards Director Solliver, as Seok had asked her to do just before, because he wanted no one to interrupt him. She felt an uncontrollable desire to kill in Seok's eyes towards them.
"Listen to me carefully, if they ask us who was the person who helped Seok, say yes. My words are clear, otherwise..."
Hinatako spoke in a calm tone, however, her gaze was so terrifying that it made one of the girls fall to the ground.
Hinatako turned to her, with a slight smile on her face:
"Don't be afraid, the shock is still affecting me. I was close to being assaulted, and on top of that, if we say he was alone against six people..."
"The most powerful of them at the rank of Supreme Governor, named Masayoshi, will be suspected, and might be arrested for being involved with them. So, shouldn't we help him as a repayment?"
A girl shook her head as a sign of approval, and tears flowed abundantly from her eyes as she looked at her with looks full of fear.
To the point where they thought Hinatako was a yandere, due to her suspicious behavior and desire to protect Seok.
However, she ignored their gazes and headed towards Director Solliver's office, who was still in his office at this time due to documents that he had to finish at a specific time.
At this time, for Seok, the process of evolution had been fully completed, becoming a semi-ruler after devouring Taki's body and completing the merging process between his human side, which was Kuno, and his curse side, which was the core of psychic power.
He continued straight towards his next target, which was Dylan, with a bloodthirsty smile.
On the other hand, Dylan was running around lamely due to his injuries and being drunk, leaving him unable to use his dimension space.
Because it requires an amount of mental power to be able to use it, and it is almost unconscious, while it does not realize what is happening around it. Moreover, he suffered a concussion from Seok's blow to his face, which broke his nose.
Signs of shock appeared on his face as he looked at the place where their companion Taki was, who no longer felt his energy wavering:
"Taki's dead! He's dead! I have to leave this place quickly, my turn will be soon!"
Dylan spoke fearfully as he ran as fast as he could, seeming to hurt his foot more and more with every step he took.
He fell on his face after passing several meters, because he was unable to see clearly as a result of his brain concussion, and he crawled, ignoring the blood that was flowing from the site of his injury, first from his nose, which made breathing difficult if it were not for Kono's use of treatment for his injury.
"I don't want to die... I don't want to die... I don't want to die... I want to live! I don't want to die! I want to live!"
Dylan spoke in a fast tone of voice as he felt Seok's terrifying presence, getting closer and closer to him.
He attempted to stand with great difficulty, and several minutes passed before his condition improved from the concussion. He then got up and ran quickly, using every ounce of strength he had in speed.
However, Seok kept watching him run wildly, without showing any intention of making him stop, as it was making his plan easier, which was to improve himself.
Seok didn't care about revenge for Suho in the first place. Rather, the obstacle he wanted to overcome was the nightmares he was seeing because of his weak human side. It ended since he devoured Taki's body.
If he no longer has any desire to take revenge on anyone, his only desire is to become stronger than he already is, and gluttony will be the path he must take to become stronger. As a halfling, he must consume powerful entities of any type or race, in order to rise through the ranks faster.
At Dylan, who was close to reaching the edges of the dome, as he laughed hysterically and cursed Seok:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! When I meet you again you son of a bitch, you'll be begging for mercy! HAHAHAHA! When I killed Taki, she was then at a point of no return, at the edge of the abyss!"
To direct his gaze towards the world around him after being four kilometers away from Seok.
"Lq........"
Before Dylan could complete his words, he was struck with such great force that his body turned into a piece of deformed flesh, his speed was so terrifying, that it was close to the speed of sound, in exchange for the strength of a wall to withstand and prevent penetration, strong enough to withstand the blows of the Goblin Ruler Cavlior, who was at the Boundless rank.
Which made his death certain from the moment he decided to accelerate at full speed, creating an absurd scene about the desire to live, which was the reason for his loss of his life.
