These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

Chapter 107



Chapter 107

"What's with a ki-ss between guys! I don't want to."

"Hyungg."

"Just quickly give me your hand."

I said firmly to Kang Soo-hyun, who was clinging to me. Kang Soo-hyun then extended his hand with a sullen expression. I grabbed his hand and sighed deeply.

I was embarrassed, but I tried to appear as if I were completely unconcerned. The unexpected depletion of my mana had caused a delay in time. I had to do something before Baek Si-hoo arrived.

"Haa…"

After much trouble, I finally grasped Kang Soo-hyun's hand and activated my skill. A hot breath brushed against the top of my head.

"Ugh."

I felt something draining from my body, and a slight dizziness came over me. Although I wasn't low on mana due to the potion I had taken, my mental strength seemed to be reaching its limit. I had used my auxiliary skill five times in a single day. It was a new record.

"Hyung, are you okay?"

"I'm… fine."

I answered while gritting my teeth. I could still endure it. Shaking my head, I glanced at the raid party in the midst of battle and regularly touched the bracelet on my left arm. Then my eyes widened.

“…!”

I didn't feel any pain from the bracelet. It had been tightening around my wrist as a warning whenever I was far from Baek Si-hoo, but now it was fine. I got goosebumps. Baek Si-hoo must be nearby.

"Kyaaak!"

"…Yong-sik?"

Yong-sik shouted while looking in a certain direction, but all I saw was sand. Given that Baek Si-hoo's ability was of the dark attribute, hiding himself would be easy for him. I turned to Kang Soo-hyun nervously.

"Soo-hyun-a!"

"I got it."

Kang Soo-hyun nodded and stepped forward. As I watched him, I searched through my inventory and took out the removal item once more.

S-grade Removal Item: Releases contracts of S-grade or below. One-time use only.

"Hmm."

The S-grade removal item was the most expensive and valuable item I had robbed from Sim Dante. It felt a bit regretful to use it since I didn't have many of them. Nevertheless, it was better than losing my wrist or being forcibly dragged to the Laufey Guild.

Without hesitation, I brought the eraser-like removal item to the bracelet. A small system window flashed, and the snake-like bracelet automatically broke apart and fell to the ground.

The unilateral contract, ‘The Serpent’s Fangs" has been canceled.

This item cannot be bound.

And then the removal item vanished into thin air. I had just wasted a precious S-grade item. I bit my lip in disappointment and turned my head.

Kang Soo-hyun closed his eyes and extended his hands toward the direction where Yong-sik was growling. What is he trying to do? I stared at him with curiosity, and then Kang Soo-hyun suddenly opened his eyes.

"That's…!”

Several black objects appeared in the air. It was the same skill Kang Soo-hyun had used last time in the Sæ Dungeon, known as ‘Black Hole.' Back then, I had used Kang Soo-hyun's Black Hole to apply an auxiliary skill to Kang Yoo-hyun, who was far away.

But why is he using that skill now? I clearly remembered that Black Hole was a spatial movement skill. At that time, due to Kang Soo-hyun's insufficient stats, the Black Hole was quite small and could only transfer my hand. However, it seemed that his stats had been boosted, and the size of the Black Hole was now a bit larger.

Moreover, the amplification from my auxiliary skill had enhanced his ability. There were several Black Holes floating in the air. The Black Holes that opened at a certain distance were the size of watermelons.

"Ah…!”

I finally understand. In the original story, Kang Soo-hyun used his Black Hole skill not only for spatial movement but also to capture monsters or hunters with stealth ability, like Baek Si-hoo.

Although Kang Soo-hyun awakened as a hunter and trained for a long time before entering the dungeon, he couldn’t immediately use the skill in this way. This was because he didn’t play an active role until the part I had read.

"Kugh…!"

Soon after, Baek Si-hoo’s figure appeared in the air. A Black Hole hovered near his left foot. His leg was probably in another space by now. When Baek Si-hoo pulled his foot out, the Black Holes swiftly combined into one and engulfed him.

"Wow…"

Baek Si-hoo disappeared just like that. I stared at Kang Soo-hyun in surprise. He was sweating profusely, probably because he had never controlled his Black Hole skill with such precision before.

“Where did you send him?”

“Well… to the farthest place from here.”

“Where is that?”

"I don't know either."

“…”

He could do that? I was surprised. Spatial movement is one of the most challenging skills to control. The teleportation item I used also required precise coordinates to function. Without knowing the exact location, most people couldn’t use it effectively. However, Kang Soo-hyun casually set a distant location as the destination and opened numerous Black Holes.

As expected of the protagonist's younger brother and a key figure in this world, he possessed a talent I couldn't even come close to matching. I clicked my tongue inwardly as Kang Soo-hyun’s gaze lowered to the ground.

"Let's send that one away, too."

"That? The bracelet?"

"Yes."

Kang Soo-hyun pointed to the illegal item that had fallen to the ground after being unlocked by the removal item. The menacing bracelet that had been tightening around my wrist was now rendered useless. Typically, such items were designed for one-time use only.

“Maybe he would track that bracelet's energy. If we send it to the exact opposite location, we can buy ourselves more time."

“I see.”

I nodded, and Kang Soo-hyun created a small Black Hole where the bracelet had fallen. The bracelet disappeared into it. I let out a sigh of relief upon seeing it.

"Now, all we need is for Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin to come…"

Just as I had that thought, a congratulatory system voice resonated through the dungeon.

[The Boss Monster of Muspelheim-S207, ‘Sandworm King,’ has been defeated.]

[The first player to clear Muspelheim-S207 will be awarded the title of "Conqueror of the Realm of Fire (L).]

[The connection to Muspelheim-S207 will be terminated soon.]

"It’s done…!"

Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin had finally defeated the boss monster. A warp portal to exit the dungeon would soon appear. Before that, Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin would likely join up with the rest of the team. It wouldn’t be long before they arrived.

The problem was Baek Si-hoo and the Dune Centipede, the original boss monster of the Muspelheim dungeon. Baek Si-hoo had been sent far away by Kang Soo-hyun, and as for the Giant Centipede…

“Arghh!”

“…!”

A high-pitched scream echoed around. I turned my head in surprise. The Giant Centipede's body split in half immediately after the system announced the defeat of the boss monster. The same fate befell the hunters surrounding it.

“Huh…?”

The sight of people dying seemed unreal. Something shining in the sunlight effortlessly split their bodies in half. I just blinked stupidly at the sight.

“Ugh…!”

Something thin wrapped around my body. It wasn't until the blood-soaked chain constricted me that I realised what it was. It was the same chain that had severed the Giant Centipede's legs.

“Hyung!”

“Ugh…!”

As soon as Kang Soo-hyun shouted, my body was suddenly flung into the air. A surprised scream escaped my mouth as my vision spun around.

“This skill is really amazing.”

“You…!”

The eyes I met were not brown. They shone with a molten gold-like yellow. His unsettling gaze made my whole body tense up.

"Lee Geun-ho…?"

His appearance was different even though he looked like Lee Geun-ho. His eyes and hair were golden like a foreigner’s.

Moreover, his appearance was…

Lee Geun-ho’s features were changing in real time right before my eyes. This meant he was using an item to alter his appearance.

An item capable of such detailed transformation was definitely not something you could find on the market. It must be an illegal item like the bracelet Baek Si-hoo had.

"You… Who are you?"

"Haha…"

Lee Geun-ho, or rather, this villain's eyes were filled with madness. The way his piercing golden eyes stared at me was not normal.

"I see why Papa was so obsessed with you."

"Kugh…!"

"It's truly an incredible skill, isn't it?"

The villain's chains were tightening around my body. I couldn't even breathe and was gasping for air. The villain smirked at me.

"I didn't expect your auxiliary skill to be this impressive."

"You…!"

"I suppose I need to take this seriously."

"…!"

A large black sphere engulfed the villain's body. Or rather, it tried to. However, the Black Hole dissipated into the air as the villain swiftly dodged it.

"Looks like I’ll need to deal with these annoying little pests first."

"N…!"

The villain who was frowning extended more thin chains from his hands. These thread-like chains rapidly spread toward Kang Soo-hyun and Yong-sik.

‘No…!' The words I couldn’t bring myself to say were caught in my throat. The horrifying image of other hunters being sliced in half by these chains was vivid in my mind. I looked toward Kang Soo-hyun in terror.
