The Guild, in conjunction with the Hunter Bureau, assumed control of some of the country's judicial powers.
It is the interrogation and punishment of the villain.
It is an era in which powers that are difficult for the state to control have emerged.
Rather than tightening the leash, South Korea respected free will and provided compensation.
Tax breaks and rewards were some of them.
That is why the Meteor Guild also enforced the law on behalf of the state.
The facilities are also located underground.
The lowest level of that meteor guild.
It's a neatly organized hallway.
The contrasting bars on the door are red.
It wasn't painted.
It was the result of someone's blood drying.
The door at the end of the hallway was particularly dark.
From past to present.
The result was a lot of blood and discoloration.
There was a man and a woman beyond the door.
A man staring at a woman bound and covered in blood.
It was Yoo Seong-jun.
"hey."
He brought a chair and sat down in front of her, who was bound.
She did not open her mouth even after being tortured in every way.
A severed right arm and a tattered left arm.
There is not a single holy place on both legs.
An unethical situation in an era of cutting-edge technology.
But in a world where even the logic of power is mixed up, you couldn't survive if you didn't do this.
Some of these villains are so great that they threaten the nation.
The threat will continue unless we step up and root it out.
WHACK!
Yoo Sung-jun's hand advanced like a ray of light and struck Shane's cheek.
It's a hill that turns around.
But Yoo Seong-jun didn't stop.
"You laughed at a hunter who helped the weak."
match!
"He put the majority at the forefront and suppressed them, and slaughtered the weak right before his eyes."
Bam!
"They did not hesitate to commit inhuman torture in order to break their pride."
WHACK!
"In the end, that hunter... you tore off his limbs like a toy and popped out his eyes and tongue." Chomp!
The cheek of the S-class villain, who couldn't overcome the physical strength of a different level, burst.
Blood flows out.
Yoo Seong-jun poured the highest-grade potion.
Red liquid flowing down the spine.
White smoke rising from the crater.
Although the pain is considerable due to rapid healing.
Shane was too exhausted to even react.
He grabs the woman by the hair and lifts her up.
The eyes of Yoo Seong-jun, who were so emotionless that it was creepy, captured his dimly opened eyes.
"Tell me. Where is the pacer?"
The villain who killed Yoo Seong-hwan and his younger brother like that.
A senior executive at The One.
Even though they are at the bottom of the alliance, they are made up of a small number of elites.
Of course, the position of the executives is also known.
Shane only licked his split and torn lips a few times.
It's been like this since a while ago.
It seems like he wants to talk, but he gets stuck in the middle and can't express it in words.
At this point, I guessed the reason.
'Did you put up a ban?'
It's not common, but it does happen sometimes.
A type of magic that is placed in the mind to prevent the location of an organization or key figures from being revealed.
So, just thinking about it makes me speechless.
'Is there no other way?'
I have no choice but to use a different number.
How did you get the clue?
You can't handle it without any income.
So I was about to make some unwanted contact.
"Ugh, ugh! Keuhehehe."
Self-deprecating laughter.
And the laughter directed at Yoo Sung-jun.
It's a sob mixed with two laughters.
Shane was looking at him with blurry eyes.
She smiled grotesquely, her lips splitting like a witch about to be burned at the stake.
"It was Yoo Scong hwan, right? Your little brother. Ah, I remember now. Now that you mention it, I understand. He begged me to let him go, even though he was so weak, and the old man and the child had done nothing wrong."
Heh. I exhale through my teeth.
The eyes, which were slowly growing larger, were tinted purple.
"It was fun to see one person's unwavering belief. And to see him stupidly unable to let go and dying like a bug. It was really fun."
...Is that a will?"
Anyway, further questioning is unnecessary.
All you need is her mana, which can be extracted from corpses.
Yoo Seong-jun sharpened his sword.
Pure mana surrounds the outer surface.
That alone gives it the aura of a famous sword.
There was no hesitation.
Empty your emotions like at first.
It falls towards the neck like the blade of a guillotine.
At the same time, Shane shouted as if he was going crazy.
"I think it would be so much fun to take the rest of his blood relatives with him!"
Kwaaaaang!!!
It's a moment.
Her body burst just before my hand touched it.
A thick black mana dominates the surrounding area.
Yoo Seong-jun knew the identity of this mana.
It was magic.
"hmm."
It is a reaction speed built up through long experience.
To the point where the body automatically reacts when it senses danger.
The surroundings burst and split apart.
The building didn't collapse thanks to the protective magic.
Yoo Seong-jun stood alone inside the messy interrogation room.
'It was dangerous.'
I poured all my mana into my body and surrounded it.
If I hadn't done that, I would have definitely been hurt.
'If there had been even a small gap in the curtain, it would have been contaminated.'
Magi was that kind of power.
Even if only a small portion of it penetrates the body, Gate disease can occur.
There is currently no cure.
It was best to just be prepared and have preventive measures in place.
'The only way to counter magic is with more mana.'
Fortunately, Yoo Seong-jun had enough mana.
Based on this, if you surround yourself with it, would a normal hunter be exposed to this magical explosion?
In an instant, his body would have become contaminated and he would have died.
'Shane handled the magic.'
There were no such signs.
A truly sudden explosion.
What is the cause?
At first, it seemed like he had done it intentionally.
'It's a dangerous force, no matter what.'
Sacrificing himself to create this tremendous magical explosion of power.
It's as if someone planted this power in Shane and told him to self-destruct if something happened.
It was a sort of experiment.
'The power of the magic self-destruct is S-class. Will it work against the 100-strong or not?'
If you've tried it, you can confirm it.
This works.
That's why it was so dangerous.
There is currently no means to purify magic.
Even this power is so subtle that even the 100 strongest cannot sense it.
If you hide this inside your body and blend in with the crowd....
'That's terrible.'
The moment even one exploded, it was expected that there would be enormous casualties.
A truly terrifying bomb that can even hit the strong.
A countermeasure was needed.
We must pursue and kill the one who planted this power.
Before we recognize its usefulness and begin actively using it for terrorism.
'Should we put off chasing the pacer for now?'
Revenge is good, but there are priorities.
More than anything, my brother would hope that I wouldn't be blinded by revenge.
Yoo Seong-jun sent a message to the person he was trying to contact.
Villains like these, or the occasional necessary evil.
This is what people secretly call it.
-Problem solver. I have a favor to ask.
The reply came promptly.
-I thought you said you didn't like nicknames like that.
Spirit. Can you even chase after the traces of magic?
Villain Rank 40. A troubleshooter spirit.
Yoo Seong-jun put in a request for her.
