I think everyone has seen the news
Compared to the cases summarized so far, this case is really beyond words
Just, just fuck, it’s completely different
At first I glanced at it and thought it was a blood mage because of the bloody build?
But the more I dug, the weirder it got
The sickle and dagger that look like high builds even at a glance are problematic, but even if we give a hundred concessions and say the caster is talented, that monster-type build really doesn’t make sense
It’s absolutely impossible for that level to come from a blood mage, which is famous for being extremely weak tech
That’s at least 2nd tier, but judging by the body size and height, the age is at most early 20s, has there ever been a precedent of a kid using that much magical power??
Yeah, except for that one person ㅋㅋ
A hunter who went to the scene that day said they couldn’t even catch their breath and were sliced up in a few seconds of offense and defense, and their hands and feet are still trembling
They say it was really hard to get that CCTV photo too, that’s the one with the red wings fluttering, right?
But look at the dagger they’re holding
The air around the dagger is distorted like a heat haze
Fuck does this make sense??? How crazy do you have to be for that to be possible?
I’m really predicting, honestly I think even if we throw all the rankers from headquarters at them, it might not be enough to catch them
[ Comments ]
[1] Impossible for a blood mage, you say? Possible for the Rank 1 wide-area mage
ㄴ Don’t mention that name
ㄴ You’re permanently banned
[2] Saying even throwing all the Association rankers at them won’t work seems too pessimistic. They do end up handling cases somehow. But that monster-type build really doesn’t make sense
ㄴ I’ve really never seen a build like that before
ㄴ Ah it’s just really unsettling ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[3] Didn’t they say the incident happened in Gyeonggi-do? We’re fucked, that’s where I live
ㄴ Ah I’m really fucking pissed, where the hell did an awakened one like that pop out from, fuck
[4] At this point, wouldn’t the Union Department and government be flipped upside down too, not just the Association? Aren’t cases of rankers being seriously injured very rare?
ㄴ There were some cases with self-destructing terrorists or high-tier awakened ones banding together to do one job
ㄴ They’re merciless in the face of human wave tactics ㅋㅋ
ㄴ [ Comment author ] Then what the fuck is it when this bastard alone crushed rankers and high-tier hunters….?
ㄴ That’s why there’s an uproar now ㅋㅋㅋ Most of the news is about this if you turn it on
[5] No fucking way it’s Aureli….??? Silver hair, blue eyes, and the stat itself is wide-area, it’s fucking obvious…..????
ㄴ Oh here we go again with the Aureli parrot
ㄴ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Aureli is ㅋㅋ a man ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ His last appearance 1 year ago was as a man, what are you ㅋㅋ
ㄴ But isn’t it really Aureli? Didn’t he change his body to a woman, go into hiding for a year to adapt, and now he’s showing himself?
ㄴ Really, talk shit. Fuck, it just looks like a quasi-ranker level awakened one, what’s all the fuss about
ㄴ You’ll regret it when you really meet them thinking “I should have believed that comment back then” ㅋㅋ Just live like that

Perhaps because the year of being a homebody had become ingrained, it felt awkward to go outside and meet many people.
Even while trying to change, in the end, the limit was just roaming the air late at night····.
Well, whatever. It’s the heart that matters, the heart.
I fluttered my wings once while feeling the air currents. The air scattered and a pungent smell arose. Maybe it’s because I smoked too much before coming.
I folded my wings and landed on the rooftop of a high-rise building. Certainly, after leaving the outskirts and entering the urban area, there were still some people in the downtown area despite the late hour. This building looks fancy too, with all the rooms inside the windows lit up.
Is it a hotel?
I looked around the spacious rooftop for a moment before moving. I felt a slightly chilly wind and my clothes fluttered. When I opened the rooftop door and went inside, I saw an elevator.
It was quite high up. 35th floor. Seems like my first time here.
When I pressed the button, it quickly came to my floor and emitted light. As I stepped in, soft background music played.

It’s quiet and luxurious. Since I ride an elevator I designed myself when going to my house, I unconsciously wanted to compare and ran my fingers along the wall.
I felt a thick texture.
The descending elevator stopped with a ding sound. It was the 17th floor. As I pressed against the wall and the door opened, a man wearing a blue uniform and hat entered. There was a white mark on his shoulder and a name tag hung around his neck with a string.
Is he the hotel manager?
Ah, our eyes met.
“Uh, uh····?”
The man froze in place with a faint groan. His pupils were trembling to an unbelievable degree.
“You’ll get caught in the door if you stay there.”
“Ah, ah, yes!”
The first person I meet as soon as I go out recognizes me····.
The man hurriedly took a position in the left corner and stared straight ahead. His body creaking like it’s broken.
“Excuse me.”
“Uh, yes?”
“Do you know me by any chance?”
He hesitated.
His eyeballs rolled around, unable to find their place.
“You can tell the truth. I won’t kill you.”
The man flinched at the word ‘kill’ but managed to nod his head.
“Ah, yes. I do····.”
“How do you know me?”
“Fr-from the news····.”
The news is within the expected range. No, now that I’ve appeared on the news, would it be strange if the entire nation recognized me?
“What did they say there?”
The man trembled again and closed his mouth.
Feeling frustrated, I took out my knife.
The man’s eyes turned downward. His face rapidly turned pale.
“Th-they said you’re an awakened one showing psychopathic tendencies!! That you’re estimated to be suffering from various mental illnesses····.”
“And?”
“The, the Association, uh····. Said they’d, in-investigate····. Classified you as a danger level····.”
If the Association can make a rational judgment, they should terminate all investigations directed at me and meet me directly for negotiations.
At most, I might kill 3 people a day, but as I said before, there are dozens of terrorist attacks and gates bursting in the metropolitan area, so they don’t have the capacity to divide their already insufficient manpower.
They probably made such an announcement because of image.
I put the knife in my mouth.
“Wow, thanks for answering. Since it’s our first meeting, I’ll let you off with just one arm.”
A moment of silence passed.
The man’s face turned from pale to bloodless.
[ Stop teasing him. ]
Why only to me?
But I’m serious about letting him off.
I lightly stabbed the man’s abdomen with the blade and drew blood.
The elevator door opened, muffling the man’s groan.
“Don’t worry. It won’t endanger your life.”
I grabbed the neck of the man clutching his abdomen and coughing, and dragged him. Perhaps because of this woman’s body, I had to add magical power because I lacked even minimal strength.
This is quite inconvenient.
“Kyaaah!!”
“What the! What the fuck!!”
Ah, so noisy. Why are there so many people in the lobby?
“Please be quiet. It’s late, you know.”
As silence briefly fell, I continued dragging the slumped man.
If he were a non-awakened or low-level awakened one, he would have been screaming in pain and causing a commotion, but seeing that he only let out a few shallow groans, he must have stats in this field.
“Huh, huh····.”
It’s better now that it’s quiet.
I bit my lip hard and rubbed my eyes.
Ignoring the frozen counter staff, I roughly threw the man down and hurriedly left the hotel.
“Slurp, sip, ssup.”
I sucked the blood sticking to the blade, then just threw the knife away. Irritation rapidly built up.
I need magic herbs, magic herbs.
I half-transformed my body and increased my speed. I entered an alley, turned a few corners, and entered a dim warehouse building.
This is the magic herb smuggling area. Actually, I’ve been benefiting from the guys here.
“Get lost. No kids allowed.”
I raised my gaze at the gruff voice. It’s a man with a large build and a scar embedded in his face.
The height difference is quite noticeable.
“Move.”
I don’t want to kill you.
“You little brat, now····.”
I spun my body once and avoided his fist. Then I scattered blood and condensed it into a sickle. I slashed the man’s abdomen and kicked him.
He hit the wall and let out a groan.
I approached and kept stomping on him. I’m already irritated, why are you acting up?
When the man’s teeth flew out and the floor started to break, the door burst open.
“What’s going on! What’s the····!”
“Hello.”
A man in a suit appeared. He looks a bit more dignified than that man from earlier.
The man saw me and was flustered, then noticed the man under my foot and turned his eyes back to me.
“Oh my, customer. You were an esteemed guest. I’m sorry. I should have gone out to greet you.”
Between the reaction at that hotel earlier and this, it seems my face has been fully revealed.
I smiled seeing him put on a fake smile and hurriedly bowing his head repeatedly.
“It’s okay. Can I come in?”
“Ah, yes yes! Please come in! I’ll make sure to thoroughly educate that ill-mannered bastard!”
I didn’t particularly care.
“If you’re going to educate him, can I do it?”
“····Pardon?”
“Can I do it?”
“Ah, ah! Of course! Hahaha····.”
I picked up the man who was still unconscious and slapped his cheeks a few times.
Blood splattered and skin tore. The man twitched and reacted.
“The education was a joke. I just wanted to help him regain consciousness.”
“Th-thank you····.”
Slap, slap, slap.
After hitting him several times, the man coughed and opened his eyes.
“Are you okay?”
Actually, I didn’t particularly want to hear the answer.
I waved my hand in the air and threw the man across the street.
“Now please move aside. I want to go in quickly.”
“S-sorry. This way please!”
Feeling the man’s Adam’s apple trembling, I entered the building.

Your colleagues’ lives are not in danger. Fortunately, their serious injuries avoided vital points. What’s really amazing is that Erica-ssi’s injuries were much more critical, but she recovered in just a few days····.
“Haah····.”
Erica leaned against the wall of the Association’s hospital ward and drank coffee. It was strong. She felt an unapproachable power from that girl.
Before she could even respond, her body was already sliced up.
What’s really strange is that with that level of skill, she could have completely crushed Erica, but as the doctor said, she fought while avoiding all vital points, which couldn’t help but evoke conflicting emotions in Erica.
Did she go easy on me? But why? There’s no need for that.
That day, with her abdomen and chest terribly sliced up to the point of losing consciousness, before feeling fear, her innate emotion, anger consumed her.
Approaching her fallen self, smiling with a grin she wanted to tear off right away, and sarcastically asking if she was okay, it made her blood boil.
She doesn’t remember well what she said after that. Something about chasing her to the ends of the earth and killing her····, she thinks she said something like that.
But despite her stance, the girl just looked into her eyes.
If she were a ‘villain’ living while assimilating into her character and committing murder, she should have been angry hearing those words.
Is it because she’s a psychopath?
But we don’t even know if she’s a psychopath.
“Ha.”
But combat is practical. The moment she spared Erica, she’s already plotting a second strategy.
“Yes, Association President. Don’t worry. I’m perfectly fine. You know my ability. That girl is as good as dead. I’ll drag even rankers if I have to and crush her, tear her apart.”
[ ····Erica. Um, the girl is fine, the girl’s case is fine but····. Aren’t there, uh, other urgent matters too? ]
“Pardon?”
What is this person saying now?
[ The urgent matters right now are the terrorism and gates in the metropolitan area. As for that girl’s case, leave it to other rankers or veterans····. ]
“No, please talk sense. We’ve almost caught her now····.”
The voice over the phone was calm.
[ Two rankers seriously injured. Three veteran hunters unconscious. It will take quite some time to catch someone of this level. That’s a problem, and now this girl’s appearance cycle is irregular too. She’s realized now that we’re targeting her. Do you think she’ll show herself willingly? ]
“…….”
[ I understand how you feel right now. We must catch such a vicious murderer immediately. However, there are more urgent matters now. The reason you went down to the Gyeonggi-do branch wasn’t just about that girl, right? As it is, there are signs that a gate is about to burst. In the Gyeonggi-do area. ]
Erica bit her lip. In fact, she was also aware of that matter.
The gate and magical beast problem was urgent too.
But it was okay. Because after hanging up the phone, Erica reached one conclusion.
In that situation where gates are emerging and the city is in chaos, there’s no way a girl of that level wouldn’t be active.
That’s when she’ll catch her.
No matter what.
By any means necessary.
