TTOA Chapter 104

“Ugh, I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

“This, haa… What on earth is this짓… .”

“No, I, I didn’t mean to do this, I just like Jae-jin so much.”

“Shut up! What are we going to do? I can’t even wash this all off!”

“So I only shot it twice. Isn’t that a small amount…?”

“What? Are you saying that makes sense, eugh…”

“Ah, no, I’m sorry… I was wrong. Please don’t say we should break up.”

“…”

“I knew Jae-jin hated this kind of thing, it was my fault. I, I acted like a disgusting psychopath again. It’s only natural you’re angry.”

“…you.”

Kwon Jae-jin pressed hard on his temples as if he had a headache. He hadn’t thought about it while Guiding, but now that it was over, he was at a loss as to how to clean up. It wasn’t like he could wash it off neatly as usual. Nor was he in a situation where he had spare clothes prepared.

Just as he was wondering if he should risk going back to the mansion, Seo Eui-woo suddenly grabbed Jae-jin’s butt with both hands and spread it open. The closed red hole opened slightly, and the white semen that filled it flowed out, dripping onto the dirt floor.

“Ugh! Ugh! Seo Eui-woo!”

Jae-jin, his eyes twice as large, grabbed and tore at Seo Eui-woo’s arm. Seo Eui-woo smiled calmly and soothed the surprised Jae-jin.

“It’s okay. Hold still, shhh… I’ll take out what’s inside, so don’t move.”

“D-don’t, please don’t do any more, really…”

“I know. I won’t. You can’t put your clothes on like this. I’m just trying to get the semen out.”

Seo Eui-woo carefully inserted a finger and stirred the inside once. Then, foamy liquid flowed out.

“Sniff, ah, ugh. Shit, ugh.”

“Good boy. Pretty… It’ll be over soon. Almost done…”

That sounded like bullshit too.

He’d shot all the way up to his colon, how could that much deeply deposited semen come out so quickly…

Every time Seo Eui-woo swirled his finger, thick liquid dripped out incessantly. Kwon Jae-jin no longer had the strength to maintain a clear mind. Jae-jin shook his head and begged him to stop.

“L-let’s just go to the mansion, we can wash up there quickly, just wash, if we can just wash and come out.”

“No. It’s dangerous.”

“Then, somewhere to wash… Anywhere.”

“What, should we just break into an empty house? Is that what you want?”

“Sniff, aaugh… I don’t know, it’s dirty. It feels awful, Seo Eui-woo, I really hate you…”

“I like Jae-jin so much… It feels good. I think I’m getting hard again.”

“You, you bastard…!”

“No, I won’t… I told you I won’t do any more.”

Seo Eui-woo blinked slowly, watching the cloudy, opaque liquid flow out of the open hole. He stared as if possessed, closely observing the reddened, swollen hole contracting and opening.

He knew Jae-jin was shuddering and panting, but there was nothing he could do. Seo Eui-woo said something crazy in a low, subdued voice.

“Um… Instead of that, how about I lick you clean? Jae-jin’s thighs are all sticky. It doesn’t seem like just removing the semen from the hole will do.”

“…What?”

“I’ll suck you clean, starting from your toes, until you’re spotless. Would that be okay?”

Kwon Jae-jin, who knew from experience that Seo Eui-woo didn’t joke about things like this, vehemently refused. He shouted that he didn’t care if it was someone else’s house or whatever, let’s just find somewhere to go in. They were planning to overthrow the military, so breaking into someone’s house was nothing, right? Kwon Jae-jin’s common sense seemed to be getting stranger and stranger.

He didn’t know about anything else, but he swore he never wanted to do this shit again. Whether it was manipulating the generals’ minds or the Creature Wave, he wanted to finish it all quickly and be at peace. Overturning the fate of a Mutant and whatnot was all important, of course, but for Kwon Jae-jin to live a proper life, dealing with Seo Eui-woo was still the biggest problem and challenge.

*

There are different types of bone fractures.

Based on the direction of the fracture surface, there are transverse fractures, oblique fractures, spiral fractures, and comminuted fractures, and based on the number of fracture fragments, there are compression fractures and segmental fractures.

Major Ma Tae-o, who received the Esper ability filled with Seo Eui-woo’s resentment, couldn’t avoid having all the bones in his body crushed, even though he desperately raised a barrier. Among the classifications of fractures, it corresponds to compression fractures and segmental fractures. The bone fragments were broken into several pieces, like a biscuit.

“…This is severe.”

Lieutenant Colonel Jang Tae-san clicked his tongue and injected Healing Factor into Major Ma. Lieutenant Colonel Jang had also only recently regained consciousness and wasn’t in much better shape.

Lieutenant Colonel Jang casually wiped away the blood flowing from his eyes and ears.

After tracking down the target, the S-rank Mutant Guide Kwon Jae-jin, all members of the Special Task Force lost consciousness when they encountered Captain Seo Eui-woo. Half a day had passed since then, and a few Espers who were lucky enough to suffer less damage were the first to open their eyes and get up.

If they had remained unconscious, they would have been at risk of hypothermia from being defenselessly exposed to the winter temperatures. They recovered by using the Healing Factor that each member carried, and under Lieutenant Colonel Jang’s command, they quickly reorganized their ranks.

It goes without saying that no one was unscathed.

The Espers’ skin was chafed and severely bruised from being crushed by the massive Esper ability that Seo Eui-woo emitted. It was as if they had been crushed under a huge lump of iron. Weak ribs or clavicles were trivially broken, and their internal organs were all damaged. Internal bleeding was severe.

Kwon Jae-jin probably didn’t realize the damage was this severe when he looked down from above. Because it was hidden by the stiff combat uniform, it wasn’t directly visible how rotten the inside was.

Seo Eui-woo was ruthless. Much more than Kwon Jae-jin imagined.

Still, their lives were all saved.

He didn’t destroy their Cores.

From the Espers’ point of view, it was a narrow escape. It was a miraculous thing.

“Cough…”

As the effect of the Healing Factor that entered his bloodstream began to take effect, Major Ma Tae-o, who had suffered the most damage, also regained consciousness. Although he couldn’t even move a finger right away.

“Major Ma. All of the team members’ Goggles are broken. We can’t report to the Center.”

Lieutenant Colonel Jang manipulated the Goggles that Ma Tae-o was wearing. Of course, his were also out of order.

“Blocking coordinate transfer compatibility in this area has backfired.”

When establishing the encirclement, it was a natural procedure to cut off coordinate transfer compatibility in the area. Otherwise, there was a possibility that the fugitive could escape by coordinate transfer.

Normally, coordinate transfers can only be done in a safe Sterile Transfer Room, so the compatibility of that Sterile Transfer Room is blocked. To lift the block, you have to communicate with the Center, but even this was impossible because all the members’ Goggles were broken.

Of course, Seo Eui-woo can use both shielding and coordinate transfer Esper abilities at the same time, so he can teleport without going through the Sterile Transfer Room, but the Center didn’t know that. The meticulous Seo Eui-woo always used only the coordinate transfer room to commute to and from work, just like other Espers.

That’s why the result turned out like this.

The defeated search team members have no way to communicate, no way to move, no way to report the situation, and no way to request support. They were helplessly stuck with the injured.

All they could do was wait for the Healing Factor effect to appear…

“…Was that Captain Seo Eui-woo?”

“Yes… Was the one next to him, Kwon Jae-jin?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hmm.”

Major Ma and Lieutenant Colonel Jang fell silent, thinking the same thing.

The situation was unusual.

It was no longer just a mission to capture a Mutant. He had a clear premonition of unknown origin. It was the kind of premonition that he was standing at the beginning of a grand event that would unfold in the future.

A momentous event. He felt like he had reached a major point in time that would shake the era.

The chilling silence passed. A shout came from the rear.

“Support is here! Support has arrived from the Center!”

Brigadier General Oh sent a follow-up unit. It was inevitable, as Major Ma and all the members who set out on the Mutant capture mission had been out of contact for half a day.

A Special Task Force member who came to support connected to the Center.

-What the hell are you doing! Are you collectively defying orders? Are you out of your minds from the S-class Guiding?

When put on speaker mode, Brigadier General Oh, the Army Operations Commander, roared loudly.

-Major Ma, I warned you. I told you you were contaminated. I said I would dispose of you. Didn’t I say that, huh?

Well, it was a situation where he could be mistaken for harboring other intentions. Major Ma replied miserably.

“…Brigadier General. The entire team has been attacked.”

-What?

“Brigadier General Oh, please see for yourself. Lieutenant, switch to video mode.”

When switched to video mode, the video displayed on the Goggle screen was transmitted to Brigadier General Oh. The exploded mansion, the devastated beach, and the situation of the Special Task Force members who had used Healing Factor but were still not fully recovered were all visible.

Major Ma wiped the dried blood from his eyes and raised his upper body. Groans escaped due to his chafed internal organs and unfused bones.

“As you can see.”

-…What happened? Did a Gate burst open?

“No. It was Captain Seo Eui-woo’s doing.”
