Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 077
77. Revenge
‘Come with us?’
Honestly, I didn’t want to go.
Wasn’t it enough that I healed him? Now I have to help with revenge too?
‘We don’t even have that kind of relationship.’
I had taken over the Heeseong Faction because they were useful, but the truth was I found them distasteful.
How could I view a group of outlaws who committed all sorts of illegal acts favorably?
‘Whatever their circumstances, it’s none of my business.’
I didn’t want to judge whether the delivery man was wrong or the organization members were wrong.
They should be grateful that I showed mercy and healed him at all.
So I waved my hand in refusal.
“I’ll pass, so go with Weihao.”
“Ah… Yes! Thank you!”
I should make Weihao handle the troublesome tasks.
I spoke again in Chinese to Weihao, who was standing there blankly because he didn’t understand Korean.
“Go with them and help them get their revenge.”
“What? Why should I?”
“Just do it when I tell you to.”
“…I’ll go right now.”
Weihao immediately backed down at my glare.
“Ah, damn… just ruined my mood.”
Pi Hyeok Jin returned to the delivery service office while wiping blood stains off his clothes.
His friend Kang Woo Jin waved and greeted him.
“Welcome back… huh? What’s that on you? Are you hurt?”
“It’s not my blood.”
“Then?”
At Woo Jin’s words, Hyeok Jin made a disgusted expression.
“Some bastard suddenly jumped out… I almost went to the afterlife.”
“So?”
“This is that guy’s blood. He said he did nothing wrong and even raised his voice at me, so I got pissed and beat him up.”
“Don’t tell me… you killed him?”
It was natural to think he had killed someone.
Kang Woo Jin also knew that Pi Hyeok Jin was an Apostle.
“No. Just beat him up enough that he wouldn’t die.”
“You showed restraint. You really did well, man.”
As a friend, he didn’t judge right from wrong.
Woo Jin was solely on Hyeok Jin’s side.
“Why did that idiot suddenly jump out? Crazy bastard.”
“Exactly, damn it. There are so many pedestrians who carry their eyes as decorations.”
The two men giggled while smoking cigarettes.
“Hey. But couldn’t you end up in prison if things go wrong?”
“Probably not. There were no CCTVs around there.”
“Was it a secluded place?”
“Yeah. Really secluded.”
“Wow, what luck. That’s really fortunate.”
“That’s why I beat the shit out of him. Would I go around hitting people carelessly when it could cut off my livelihood?”
Pi Hyeok Jin smiled and blew out cigarette smoke.
“I can’t go back to school again.”
Memories of his past life in juvenile detention center came flooding back.
As well as memories from his school days.
“Bullying that guy back then was fun.”
“Who?”
“There was this guy. A loser I messed with in high school. You probably saw him sometimes too? I even gave him cigarette burns before.”
“Ah…! That guy who looked normal but lived like a pushover?”
“Yeah. You went to a different school so you don’t know the details, right? That guy was my only joy for going to school, hehe.”
That’s when it happened.
Clang—
Someone came rushing into the delivery service office.
So many people that it was impossible to count them all.
“…What the?”
Most of them were large, menacing-looking men.
The man standing in front looked familiar.
“You…?”
“That bastard there!”
All eyes turned to follow the man’s pointing finger.
Pi Hyeok Jin couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity.
It was none other than the very man he had beaten up in the alley.
“Hey. What happened to you? Why are you fine?”
“This son of a bitch is the one who did that to me, hyungs!”
Fierce glares shot his way.
Understanding the situation wasn’t difficult.
“Ah, so a grown adult ran crying to his big brothers like a little kid? For revenge? What a pathetic old man.”
“You bastard, won’t you shut your mouth?”
Soon Gu, unable to watch any longer, stepped forward.
Though he was considered one of the gentler ones in the organization, he had a reputation for being scary once angered.
However.
“What. You want to get beaten up too, old man?”
Pi Hyeok Jin wasn’t intimidated at all.
Who was he, after all?
An Apostle sponsored by the Transcendent Spirit ‘Ancient Vampire’.
He was a skilled player who had cleared up to the 20th Floor with his vampiric skill ‘Bite’.
Given that, dozens of ordinary people rushing at him wasn’t scary at all.
“You guys are ordinary people, right? I can tell just by looking.”
“…”
“Why are ordinary people picking a fight with an Apostle? Do you think delivery Apostles are a joke?”
The Heeseong Faction Organization Members tensed momentarily at the mention of Apostle.
But.
“What’s the situation here?”
When Weihao, the Action Squad leader, stepped forward, they regained their confidence as if nothing had happened.
“It’s that bastard, hyung.”
“That guy?”
“Yes! He says he’s an Apostle.”
When the meaning was conveyed through the translation app, Weihao’s lips curled up in a smirk.
“Oh, an Apostle? This should be more fun than dealing with ordinary people.”
“What are you saying? You damn chink.”
Pi Hyeok Jin disliked Chinese people.
There were several Chinese among the delivery riders.
Coming to someone else’s country and stealing their rice bowls – there was no way he’d look kindly on that.
“Hey, get lost. If you don’t want to die.”
“What’s he saying? This kid?”
“He’s telling hyung to go die. Says you’re fucking ugly.”
“What?”
Weihao’s eyes flashed at the Organization Member’s translation.
It was an exaggerated translation, but the effect was certain.
“This little shit…”
Grab!
Pi Hyeok Jin’s throat was seized in an instant.
He tried to raise his arms to resist, but.
‘What, what?’
His arms wouldn’t rise.
Some force was intervening, gripping his arms tightly.
Smack!
As soon as he took that hit, Pi Hyeok Jin realized.
‘Ugh…!’
The gap in power.
“I can tolerate other people’s criticism.”
Smack! Thwack!
“But you dare to judge me? With that face?”
Smack! Thwack!
His nose bone collapsing was just the beginning.
All his front teeth broke and even his ribs cracked.
Though Pi Hyeok Jin had long since realized his opponent was stronger, he didn’t give up hope.
He had his vampiric skill, after all.
‘Bite!’
True to being a vampire’s Apostle, he opened his mouth wide and tried to bite the neck, but.
Hesitation—
“What? Are you a dog?”
He couldn’t break through the telekinetic wall.
“This bastard wants to die…”
Crack!
Pi Hyeok Jin was completely beaten to a pulp.
His friend Kang Woo Jin, who was beside him, could only stare in shock.
Even though they were both Apostles, he was weaker than Pi Hyeok Jin.
“This bastard passed out. Wake up. I’m going to make a corpse here today.”
Just as Weihao was waking up the guy who had become a bloody mess.
Ring ring— Ring ring—
His mobile phone rang.
There was only one person who would call Weihao.
“Oh, wait a minute. I’m busy dealing with something urgent right now… Huh?”
Weihao’s eyes widened after hearing what Lee Tae Seong said during the call.
“Spare… his life?”
I called Weihao.
To spare that guy’s life.
“Don’t kill him. Until I get there.”
—Ah, got it. Come quickly. This bastard is on the verge of death.
After hanging up, I immediately spread my wings and flew.
The reason I told him not to kill Pi Hyeok Jin was simple.
‘Because I know that guy.’
We weren’t just acquaintances.
We were high school classmates.
And most importantly.
‘He was the fucking bastard who bullied me.’
When I was in high school, I was bullied by Pi Hyeok Jin.
Being an errand boy for bread was basic, along with being an errand boy for books, gym clothes, homework, and more.
I was literally treated like a slave.
I could have rebelled out of spite at least once, but there was one reason I couldn’t.
‘I was scared of him.’
Back then, I was passive and introverted, making me good prey for the school bullies.
‘Even bullies from other schools tormented me, so that says it all.’
The fact that I changed like this was purely due to the environment.
I gained power in the environment of destruction, and while struggling to survive, I developed this cold personality.
Or maybe this was my original personality.
‘The Labyrinth made me like this.’
I’m grateful for that.
But the past 18 years were too harsh.
Now that I’m starting over with the opportunity of regression, I’ve been reborn.
I’m no longer that boy who used to run errands for bread.
‘To think I’d meet Pi Hyeok Jin again in the midst of all this…’
Should I call it good luck?
Or should I call it bad luck?
Either way, it was definitely a bad situation for him.
‘Because now I can properly get my revenge.’
Who would have thought that monitoring Weihao with Parasite would lead to such an opportunity.
Thud!
When I arrived at the delivery service office.
“Boss, you’ve arrived.”
The organization members waiting outside the door bowed respectfully and stepped aside.
Jingle—
“Boss!”
As I opened the door and entered, Soon Gu brightened up while Weihao approached with a furrowed brow.
“Why the hell did you tell me not to kill him?”
“Where is he?”
“I kept him breathing as you said. But it’s touch and go.”
Pi Hyeok Jin lying there covered in blood.
He was beaten so badly that his face was unrecognizable.
‘Breath of Regression.’
After healing the guy, I immediately spoke to the Organization Members.
“The retaliation ends here. Everyone go back.”
“What? You’re telling us to leave like this?”
“Weihao. You go out and block the entrance so no one else can come in.”
“What are you going to do here?”
“Don’t ask questions, just do what you’re told.”
“….”
Weihao and the Organization Members stood there blankly, as if reluctant to leave like this.
“Is my order hard to understand?”
“N-no sir!”
With one word in an ice-cold voice, they finally left.
The only people remaining in the Rider office were Pi Hyeok Jin, his friend, and me—just the three of us.
After confirming everyone had left, I released my Camouflage.
Pi Hyeok Jin’s friend was startled by my face rippling.
But the reason he was surprised was something else.
“You know me, don’t you?”
“….”
“We’ve met before.”
I could tell just from his frozen expression.
He definitely recognized me.
“Don’t remember? You’ve seen me with Pi Hyeok Jin before.”
“…I, I don’t know.”
Playing dumb, are we?
“That’s strange? No matter how stupid a School Bully bastard from Another School might be, there’s no way you wouldn’t know me. You even gave me Cigarette Burns.”
“M-me?”
It was brief, but I remember.
He’s definitely one of the guys who bullied me along with Pi Hyeok Jin.
Maybe because of the Cigarette Burns, the memory stuck more vividly.
“What’s your name?”
“….”
“No answer.”
“Kang… Woo Jin.”
“So you became an Apostle too? Good for you.”
“Good… for me?”
I didn’t answer.
He’d never understand what my words meant, even if he died.
Just then.
“Ugh….”
Pi Hyeok Jin woke up with a groan.
“Why is my body so tired… Huh?”
The guy who was stretching spotted me.
His eyes immediately widened.
“You… could it be from High School?”
“Yeah. Remember me?”
Pi Hyeok Jin’s expression brightened.
“Of course I remember! We hung out together in high school. Good to see you, you bastard!”
“It’s been a while, Pi Hyeok Jin.”
I smiled at him.
“You fucking bastard.”
