Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 082

82. Skull Jar of Binding

“Ah, uh, um.”

Joshua couldn’t continue speaking with a surprised expression, as if it was an unexpected gift.

Even so, his gaze was fixed on only one place.

‘He seems to like the sword.’

The Enhanced Steel Longsword I received with the E-Grade Weapon Selection Ticket.

For Joshua at his current level, it was a considerable weapon that would be hard to obtain.

‘He hasn’t had a proper weapon all this time. It makes sense he’d like it.’

Perhaps that’s why.

“Uh… I’m grateful, but can I really accept this…?”

“Of course. I have a weapon. It’s extra, so use it without burden.”

“Th-thank you. Thank you so much!”

When I gave him the worn-out spear last time, he declined even if just for politeness.

Now he’s not doing that.

He definitely likes it.

“You’re not going to give it to a friend again like before, are you?”

“N-no. I should have at least one decent weapon too.”

Even while speaking, he still couldn’t take his eyes off the sword.

It’s a completely different reaction from when I gave him the spear.

‘Well, the spear I gave him then was shabby. It was F-Grade too.’

This one is brand new, never used.

Plus it’s E-Grade, one level higher, and it’s a one-handed sword type perfect for Joshua.

‘Since Joshua used swords as his main weapon in the past too. He’ll adapt well.’

No matter what, it’s ten times better than a machete.

“Well then, shall we make a deal now?”

“Ah, yes! Isn’t there a suitable place somewhere?”

“I know one.”

I took Joshua to a secluded place in the airport.

Then.

Flutter!

I spread my wings to show him.

“Holy…!”

Joshua almost cursed.

He must have been really surprised.

“Surprised? I’m sorry.”

“Wh-what are those wings on your back?”

“It’s a skill called Flight. They’re real wings, but they’re not directly attached to my back.”

“Wow… You look like an angel. Cool!”

“Thank you. Let’s go now.”

“Yes? Where to… Ahhh!”

I grabbed Joshua and flew up into the sky.

Soon we landed on a building rooftop.

There’s no better place than this to avoid other people’s eyes.

As soon as his feet touched down, Joshua calmed his startled heart.

“Huff… That really scared me.”

“I’m sorry for startling you repeatedly. I thought this would be good for avoiding people’s eyes.”

“This would definitely be good for making deals.”

I took out the item for the calmed Joshua.

“It’s an E-Grade Magic Stone.”

“Oh… Even the color is different from F-Grade.”

He took the magic stone and examined it from various angles.

“How many of these do you have?”

“I have 10 total. I’m planning to get more when I clear up to the 99th Floor.”

“Oh, good, that’s good. I’ll take one and test it. How about we decide on the price after I review it with Father?”

“Sounds good. Take one as a sample.”

“Yes, thank you.”

To Joshua, who was putting the magic stone into his inventory.

“Since you came to Korea, let’s go eat together.”

“Ah, yes. But…”

When I suggested a meal, he suddenly looked down below the rooftop.

“How do we get down?”

“We have to go the same way we came up.”

“…”

At those words, Joshua turned pale.

From Seoul to Busan.

Pi Hyeok Jin rode his motorcycle without rest.

He stopped to refuel once or twice along the way, but otherwise kept riding continuously.

With the single goal of getting as far away from Lee Tae Seong as possible.

“Phew, I should be safe here.”

He had abandoned his home and belongings entirely, coming all the way down to Busan where he had no connections.

“Now I’ll start fresh here. Find work again too.”

Needing a place to stay immediately, he got a motel room.

Then he completed his rider registration on a delivery app.

With just a motorcycle, he could start working anywhere.

However, this job wasn’t entirely easy either.

There was some territorial behavior after all.

“Where are you from? Haven’t seen your face around here before. A newbie? And riding an unlicensed bike too?”

While waiting at a traffic light, another rider came up close and asked.

“Why aren’t you answering?”

“Mister. Just mind your own business and go, tsk.”

“What? Using Seoul dialect? You’re not from around here?”

“Ah, stop bothering me and get lost, damn it.”

“This little bastard… Hey you son of a bitch! Where do you think you’re going!”

As soon as the light changed, he took off quickly, but the guy followed cursing.

‘Ugh, why is that bastard picking a fight? Annoying prick.’

He’d gotten caught by a troublesome guy.

Following him to the end like a persistent fly.

Was it because there was a difference in motorcycle quality?

He turned into an alley but was quickly caught up to.

Having no choice, he gave up on running away.

He stopped his motorcycle in a place without CCTV.

Then the guy got off too, following suit.

“Hey. You’re from Seoul, right?”

“Ugh, persistent bastard.”

“What did you say? This bastard isn’t satisfied with stealing someone else’s territory and rice bowl, now he’s cursing too?”

“You spoke informally first, you fucking bastard.”

When Pi Hyeok Jin glared at him, the other guy let out a hollow laugh.

“What’s glaring gonna do? Huh? Want to go at it?”

“That’s exactly what I want.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a straight punch.

Whack!

“Ugh!”

He went down in one hit.

Clearly just an ordinary person.

“Stupid bastard. How dare you mess with an Apostle?”

Pi Hyeok Jin mounted on top of his opponent and drove his fist down.

Whack!

“Is Busan.”

Smack!

“All your territory?”

Whack!

“Acting territorial? What? Blocking?”

When he put force into hitting the arm that was blocking.

Crack!

It broke.

“Ugh, aaahhh…!”

“Damn it, that’s what you get for picking fights. With someone who was trying to live peacefully. You thought I was just an ordinary person because I was doing delivery work? Stupid bastard, ptui!”

After spitting on him, he got up from his position.

Leaving the groaning guy behind, he hurriedly left the scene.

‘Ah shit. Working in this neighborhood is out of the question now.’

If he kept working here, he’d run into him again later.

Having shown his face, the best strategy was to move to a different neighborhood.

Vroooooom!

It was while he had been speeding for quite some time.

“Huh, what!”

Suddenly the motorcycle flew through the sky.

More precisely, it floated in mid-air.

With only its wheels spinning uselessly.

“Wh-what the hell is happening, damn it!”

For a moment I wondered if I was dreaming.

But it wasn’t a dream.

“Where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?”

When the shuttle he so desperately wanted to avoid appeared before his eyes, Pi Hyeok Jin thought.

He wished this was just a dream.

After finishing my meal with Joshua, I came out.

‘That bastard… he’s beating people up somewhere else too?’

I happened to witness it through Parasite.

Pi Hyeok Jin’s thuggish behavior.

‘Still hasn’t come to his senses, has he?’

The guy who was crying and wailing during torture is now going around assaulting ordinary people.

‘People really can’t be reformed after all.’

I need to stop him before he causes more trouble.

“Joshua. I have something to take care of…”

“Yes, I should head back now too. I want to test the E-Grade Magic Stone as soon as possible.”

“Yes, then I’ll leave it to you.”

“Just leave it to me. I’ll bring you good news! And thanks for the gift too!”

After parting with Joshua at the airport, I spread my wings and flew.

Planning to catch Pi Hyeok Jin as quickly as possible.

‘If I track the mana of the Parasite I planted, finding him won’t be difficult.’

Thanks to moving quickly, I found Pi Hyeok Jin right away.

I grabbed the motorcycle with Grip of the Dead and lifted it into the air.

“We meet again? Hyeok Jin.”

“Th-this is a dream, right? It has to be a dream…”

“I told you, didn’t I? To live righteously. But…”

Step—

One step.

“You broke your promise?”

Two steps.

The closer I got to him, the more Pi Hyeok Jin’s pupils shook.

Cornered with nowhere to go, he tried lashing out once.

“F-fuck! What did I do wrong! Why are you doing this to me…!”

Crack!

In the blink of an eye, I grabbed his arm and twisted it.

“Aaaahhh!”

Leaving his scream behind, I broke his other arm too.

Snap!

“Ahhh! Aaaahhh!”

The guy screaming in agony wasn’t going to just take it lying down.

“Graahhh!”

He opened his mouth trying to use the Bite skill.

But.

Thud!

I used telekinesis to force his mouth shut.

“Where does a dog get off trying to bite?”

I punched his jaw and dislocated it.

“Gh, ghhheeuuk!”

I looked down coldly at the guy clutching his jaw and making strange crying sounds.

‘Playing around ends here.’

I need to finish this quickly.

Before any witnesses show up.

‘Of course, I have no intention of killing him. Nor do I plan to use the Scales of Judgment.’

I can’t use it anyway because of the cooldown.

Besides, it would be too wasteful to send him to the afterlife.

‘This is the guy who bullied me for over a year in high school. I can’t let him go easily.’

If he hadn’t gotten expelled for causing trouble, I would have continued being bullied.

Now it’s my turn to use him as a plaything.

‘With this item I received from Orcus.’

I took out a new item from my Inventory.

[Skull Jar of Binding (SSS)]

―Classification: Possession

―Effect: Living being storage, enslavement

―Usage restriction: Lee Tae Seong (bound)

―Description: A mysterious jar made in the shape of a skull. Can contain targets in a pitch-black space. Targets contained in the jar become absolutely obedient slaves and gain immortal bodies. Can be temporarily materialized and summoned to reality. Cannot store those who are already dead.

It was the item I had exchanged for the Chains of the Underworld.

“I can’t just leave you alone. You’ll just go around causing trouble everywhere.”

I held out the Skull Jar to the dying Pi Hyeok Jin.

Purple flames flickered in the dark eye sockets of the skull.

“What, what are you trying to do to me?”

“I’m going to lock you up.”

“What?”

Whoooosh!

An unidentifiable hand emerged from the Skull Jar and grabbed Pi Hyeok Jin.

“Let, let go of this! Let, let me go!”

He struggled in terror, but it was useless.

The unidentifiable hand instantly dragged him into the jar.

“Clean.”

Pi Hyeok Jin, who had been making a fuss just moments ago, had completely disappeared.

He had entered the Skull Jar.

“Did he go in properly?”

I grinned while looking at the jar and put it into my Inventory.

I could feel that his soul had entered properly.

“Even in death, you’re my slave. Just like how you treated me.”

With the corners of my mouth curled up, I spread my wings and flew up.

“I’ll torment you for the rest of your life.”

Only the motorcycle remained alone where Pi Hyeok Jin had been.
