Chapter 265
265: Wait? This Was a Test?(1)
* * *
A four-person party composed entirely of Yongin Clan members.
Naturally, it was the Overseer Party with Dohyun as leader. After using transformation magic to convert Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan into Yongin Clan members, no one on the first floor of the Heavenly Martial Alliance—not even Targa—suspected they were human.
Meanwhile, Dohyun could glean information about everyone on the first floor with a single sweeping glance.
In the process, minor skills fused with his existing abilities.
Most were B-Rank or lower C-Rank skills, so he felt little excitement about them.
Since only lower-tier individuals were present, far more AP was consumed than what he gained from analyzing their status windows, and through this, Dohyun sensed his skills rising in grade—ever so subtly.
Among all this, one skill caught his attention.
[You have acquired 「Bloodsucking [B]」.]
[「Usurpation」borrows the power of 「Fusion」to absorb 「Bloodsucking [B]」.]
‘Interesting.’
None other than the Bloodsucking skill.
It was merely a B-Rank skill.
It was a grade Dohyun himself had never acquired except in the early stages, but this time, at 「Usurpation」’s request, the absorbed 「Bloodsucking [B]」was wholly absorbed into 「Usurpation」.
「Usurpation」had already been of exceptional grade, but after absorbing 「Bloodsucking [B]」, something shifted subtly.
To be precise.
[One of 「Usurpation」’s abilities has been unlocked.]
[「Analysis」.]
[From now on, you can 「Usurp」the life force of those you kill, further enhancing your regenerative power.]
‘Huh.’
He wondered if there was anything else he could do at this point.
Part of him thought he’d transcended humanity, but since he was growing stronger, he didn’t dwell on it much.
After grasping the general technique through 「Analysis」and emerging from his thoughts, he noticed Targa—the original owner of 「Bloodsucking [B]」—scanning Dohyun’s group.
Judging by his reaction, no one had sensed Dohyun taking the skill.
Dohyun figured one probably needed to be A-Grade or higher to notice, so he dismissed it from his mind when Targa suddenly addressed him.
“Haven’t seen you before. Did you just come up?”
“Our party just arrived yesterday.”
As Dohyun answered with a smirk, Targa could have frowned at the audacity, but he was no amateur.
Instead, his eyes gleamed as he regarded the cocky newcomer.
Wasn’t this the same arrogant recruit Targa had been talking about just moments ago?
‘Perfect timing.’
Seeing that glint in Targa’s eyes, the others shook their heads as if fed up, yet no one stepped in to warn Dohyun’s party.
After all, this was a welcome opportunity to break the monotony.
Harboring such dark intentions, Targa smiled lightly and sized up Dohyun’s group.
Even if he meant to mess with them, he couldn’t let them die.
The Heavenly Martial Alliance’s reputation mattered, so Targa intended to keep it a simple prank—perhaps just embarrass them a little.
But.
‘Look at these guys.’
Dohyun watched the entire spectacle with an amused expression.
From the moment we arrived here, I had been listening to Targa’s chatter from a distance through Analysis, so there was no way I could be unaware of this situation.
With Analysis handling everything for me, it would be stranger if I didn’t know what was happening.
Thinking it over, I decided to see what he would do and simply observe.
And so Targa’s plan unfolded as follows.
“Naturally, newcomers must pass an entry test. You accept an appropriate request, succeed, and upon joining, your rank is measured. Your rank increases with each completed request. And here’s the entry test request.”
Targa confidently produced the request.
The request was none other than.
“Collecting the venomous stingers of Spinal Fleas?”
The moment Dohyun read the request Targa had presented, Hezway’s expression instantly hardened.
And for good reason—he knew all too well the danger posed by the creature called the Spinal Flea. In fact, it wasn’t just Hezway who knew of it.
It was a notorious monster in this region.
The Spinal Flea was famous for being difficult to catch in this area because of its incredible jumping ability—capable of moving at supersonic speeds in an instant—and its hardness, which made its body function like a cannon.
Beyond that, it lacked significant combat prowess, so by pure strength alone it wasn’t particularly high-ranked, but it was undoubtedly a dangerous request for newcomers who hadn’t yet experienced B-Rank Zone creatures.
Yet this man was asking a newcomer to collect its venomous stingers?
Hezway immediately saw through it.
‘This bastard is trying to mess with us.’
It was a petty territorial display—giving an unreasonable request so they’d refuse and lose face.
And most people in this room could see it.
Even Hanalin and Jiyuchan, still unfamiliar with B-Rank Zones, read the atmosphere and frowned.
At their reaction, Targa smiled with cunning delight.
Seeing Dohyun, who had been overflowing with confidence and arrogance until moments ago, sitting quietly seemed to invigorate him.
‘Ah, this is the taste.’
Simply delivering such humiliation to that arrogant Yongin Clan party seemed to ease, if only slightly, the inferiority complex from his own stalled advancement.
He was doing this territorial display for exactly this reason, and anticipating how satisfying this would be, he grinned wickedly—only for Hezway to look ready to explode at any moment.
Hezway was not one to submit to such petty territorial nonsense.
Just as the heated Hezway stepped forward to speak to Dohyun.
Whoosh.
“Huh?”
The request that had been fluttering in Targa’s hand instantly transferred to Dohyun’s.
Dohyun looked at it, smirked, and answered.
“Fine. I’ll be back.”
“What? Wait—?”
The moment Targa heard Dohyun say that, his expression became one of confusion, and Dohyun immediately turned to leave.
In that instant, Targa swallowed hard and thought.
‘A power play?’
The request was obviously impossible, clearly meant to humiliate them, so was he playing mind games in response? Targa stood frozen with wide eyes, unable to do anything.
Mind games or not, Dohyun immediately took his party members and left the room.
Before Targa could even react, Dohyun had opened the door and departed, moving so quickly that when Targa hurried to follow and look outside, there wasn’t even a trace of them.
And watching that, Targa muttered.
“Damn it, there’s no way.”
“If those newbies die, I don’t know which Yongin Clan they belong to, but they’ll file a complaint anyway. Is that really okay?”
“I knew Targa would do something like this. He’s going to get demoted~”
“Demotion might not even be the problem? The Six Superior Races generally help each other out, but even with the Heavenly Martial Alliance, if there’s resistance, someone like Targa is just….”
Targa, listening to the other Heavenly Martial Alliance members speak, anxiously gnawed at his fingernails.
If they really went to catch a Spinal Flea, what would happen? His expression suggested he thought the Yongin Clan wouldn’t go that far, but for some reason, he felt uneasy.
“Looking at how that Yongin Clan brat was smiling, it seems like he went with real confidence. A brat who just climbed up here hunting a Spinal Flea? Ha.”
“Practically a death sentence.”
Targa knew all too well that when Dohyun actually died, demotion wouldn’t be the real problem. He swallowed hard and spoke to one of his party members.
“Hey! Garon! Take care of the counter, and Batu, you come with me! I’ll give you both 500,000 points when this is over.”
“Sigh, so whenever the captain makes a mess, we have to clean it up.”
“Hurry!”
“Batu, come back quickly. It’s not just the captain who’s in trouble—we could get in hot water too.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know. Ugh, that Spinal Flea is annoying. The captain is… anyway.”
Even as they spoke, Batu and Garon moved according to Targa’s orders.
The onlookers watching their swift movements laughed as if amused.
They had witnessed quite the entertaining spectacle—Targa’s expression, steeped in inferiority, transforming into bewilderment. Most of them had already forgotten about it.
Since Targa was going, even if they were brats, they wouldn’t suffer at the hands of a Spinal Flea.
So they intended to remember this incident only as the day Targa had been humiliated and move on.
* * *
Dohyun, holding the request from the Heavenly Martial Alliance—or rather, from Targa—moved swiftly with an amused smile on his face. Only Hezway, still new to the party, wore an uncertain expression, while Hanalin and Jiyuchan simply followed behind Dohyun without complaint.
Hezway was following them as well, but something was off.
Until Dohyun had brought out the request, Hezway had been mentally slapping his knee, thinking: That’s right, Dohyun! This is what psychological warfare looks like!
But seeing Dohyun burst into a full sprint the moment they left, Hezway’s pupils couldn’t help but tremble violently.
Once Dohyun started running, the others instinctively followed without even thinking.
As a newcomer, Hezway hadn’t adapted to this yet and asked nervously.
“Sh-shouldn’t we stop him?”
Dohyun was strong, certainly, but there was no need for his first hunt in a B-Rank Zone—an area he wasn’t even familiar with yet—to be against something even more powerful than the usual monsters.
Hezway himself was bold in his actions, but this crossed the line from boldness into recklessness. His unease was evident.
Hanalin, seeing Hezway’s concern, spoke.
“That’s the reason we grew so quickly, even without understanding the Central Zone.”
“…If we just follow that guy, we grow stronger on our own.”
“…I see.”
Hezway didn’t voice it aloud, but he swallowed the unspoken criticism—that they’d only gotten stronger by surviving by any means necessary.
But.
Watching Dohyun leap forward rapidly, Hezway couldn’t help but feel his eyes tremble with anxiety.
And it was when they reached the middle of the mountain range.
FWOOOOOOOOSH——
SHRIEEEEEEEK———
A sound like a missile falling, accompanied by the noise of something tearing through the air.
And that sound didn’t come just once.
As I looked up at the sky above my head where countless booms echoed and sonic booms erupted, the air flowing violently, black objects darted back and forth like jets passing overhead.
Leaping power so tremendous it stretched from the high mountain range all the way to the cliff’s edge.
And watching the streamlined body that firmly withstood such fearsome speed and its hard outer shell, it looked like watching a single massive bullet.
Dohyun grinned at the sight of those creatures and shouted.
“Let’s go!”
With that cry, Dohyun leaped upward, and at that timing, a Spinal Flea came flying in.
As Dohyun jumped directly into the creature’s path, the Spinal Flea showed no surprise and immediately drew its venomous stinger, aiming it at Dohyun.
In that moment, Dohyun moved his feet in midair with such lightness.
The first form of the martial art I had just created, a footwork technique.
Shadowless Dark Moon Technique
First Form
Lurking Moon Hidden Shadow
Lurking Moon Hidden Shadow unfolded in midair, and my form melted into the sky itself, vanishing completely.
Time stretched like taffy, and in that elongated moment, as the Spinal Flea panicked, unable to determine where to aim its stinger at the vanished me.
I cut through that stretched taffy-like time, severing the stinger while simultaneously unleashing a technique targeting the rear of the Spinal Flea’s hard outer shell.
Shadowless Dark Moon Technique
Third Form
Twin Moon Crossing Fangs
The two short blades in my hands crossed as I swung them at the Spinal Flea’s rear, and the creature was precisely divided into four pieces.
As the stretched time gradually returned and melted back into reality, the quartered creature’s body, unable to overcome air resistance, exploded in midair.
Dohyun, who had escaped from that midair chaos, grinned and retrieved the Spinal Flea’s stinger, then held it up proudly as if showing it off, causing Targa, who had been chasing Dohyun’s party from behind, to gasp in astonishment.
“What… what is this…?”
“C-captain, what was that!?”
Batu, who had followed behind, also gasped and dropped his jaw.
Dohyun then looked at Jiyuchan and Hezway and said.
“The rear is their weak point. Once you know that, it’s manageable.”
“Hmm, certainly.”
“Huh.”
And Hezway also clicked his tongue at Dohyun’s display and swallowed hard.
Hezway, watching Targa with his jaw practically unhinged behind them, thought he had made the right choice joining this party.
‘This feels refreshing.’
