My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 123

Episode 123. Counterattack (2)

Rai held his breath at the terrifyingly ominous power he felt from beyond the entrance.

It felt as if his instincts were screaming at him not to approach.

He absolutely didn’t want to touch that maddeningly ominous power.

Hikari felt the same way.

“In just one day…”

One day.

Only one day had passed.

In terms of time, not even a full day had passed.

It had only been that long since they left this place, yet the aura emanating from the manor had completely transformed into something else entirely.

The two people, momentarily overwhelmed, soon swallowed their dry saliva and followed Han Mi-reo inside, who had entered first.

The scene that greeted the two as they entered could be described with just one word.

“…Overwhelming.”

Overwhelming.

Just a few seconds.

They had only entered a few beats late.

What greeted Rai were the family’s hunters scattered about and a man standing leisurely in the center of it all.

“Are you really the same A-rank as me?”

“If you can’t believe it, should I show you my awakened registration card?”

“Never mind, I can’t read foreign languages anyway.”

Well… that’s true.

I can’t read it either.

As I turned my head at Rai’s words, I suddenly furrowed my brow and shouted.

“Both of you, fall back!”

Despite the sudden shout, the two immediately followed my words and stepped back.

As soon as the two stepped back, someone burst in, smashing through the door.

“Miss, where did you disappear to?”

“Suzuki…”

A black-haired woman glaring with red eyes.

She grinned wickedly while wrapping her entire body in magical energy.

“But it’s not too late. Come on, let’s go. It’s not too late to receive Lord Gaien’s grace.”

“…I refuse.”

“Heh, since when has our miss been able to express her will like that?”

As if she had no intention of respecting Hikari’s will at all.

Suzuki lowered her voice and rushed toward Hikari.

However.

“Hm? What’s this?”

I wouldn’t allow that.

Suzuki looked at the mist wrapped around her ankle, then raised her head to look at me.

“…Ah, so it was you? The one who knocked down all these guys here.”

“Seeing how slow you are to understand, I guess you didn’t attend school properly?”

“…”

Boom!

Exploding magical energy, evaporating mist.

Catching sight of Suzuki’s dispersing figure, I immediately crossed my arms to block my abdomen.

“Oh? You blocked it?”

I blocked it.

I succeeded in blocking the dagger that Suzuki thrust.

However.

‘The magical energy…!’

I couldn’t block the magical energy carried on her dagger.

The mist melts away.

Magical energy invades through it.

Unable to help it, I released my mana without hesitation.

[Black Dragon]

Crackle.

Scales sprouting on my right hand.

Having blocked the magical energy that tried to penetrate, I didn’t stop there and grabbed Suzuki’s hand, throwing her to the side.

“Kyahahaha!”

Suzuki laughed joyfully even as she flew through the wall.

Bending my knee toward the direction she flew, I shouted to the two without even turning my head.

“Never touch that purple aura! Get as far away as possible! And!”

Thud.

Cheo-ri, who had gone down my neck, slipped into my pocket.

The creature that entered the pocket wrapped its tail around the phone and threw it toward Hikari.

“Call Hunter Seong Yu-mi right now!”

Bang!

Simultaneously with a leaping sound that rang like a gunshot, a dagger filled with magical energy flew from the exact opposite direction.

I swung my fist to knock away the dagger and extended mist to throw Rai and Hikari outside the manor.

Confirming that the two flew outside the manor through the wall, I immediately extended my right hand to the right.

“Oh my, you blocked it?”

Scrape—

The dagger that couldn’t pierce through the scales on my right hand.

Sparks flew as my palm and the dagger created friction.

I clenched my hand as it was and shattered Suzuki’s dagger.

“Heh, so your right hand transforms? Are you perhaps mutation-type?”

Clatter.

Suzuki, who had dropped the dagger whose blade had disappeared, landed on the floor.

I didn’t respond to her words at all and quietly stared at her.

At my gaze, she smiled even more deeply and said.

“This is a coincidence. I’m mutation-type too.”

Crackle.

Suzuki’s right hand twisted grotesquely.

I widened my eyes as I watched her right hand gradually transforming.

“But I’m different from you.”

Hunters obtain unique skills in the Tutorial Tower.

Unique skills are literally unique skills, so while they may be similar, they don’t duplicate.

Therefore, people began to classify these unique skills into broad categories.

Unique skills that regenerate the body like Im Seung-hun are regeneration-type.

Those that cause specific phenomena like Seong Yu-mi’s fire creation or air freezing are magic-type.

Those that handle objects like swords or arrows by infusing them with mana like Jeong Chan-woo are enhancement-type.

Besides these, there are various other types like healing-type and spirit-type.

And among them, there was one particularly unique type.

“I don’t transform into animals.”

Mutation-type.

A particularly ability even among the unique skill types.

The reason mutation-type is wasn’t for any major reason.

It’s simply because common skills don’t exist for it.

Magic-type has magic skills in common skills even if they’re not unique skills.

The same goes for enhancement and regeneration types.

But mutation types are different.

Only unique skills exist.

Perhaps that’s why.

Mutations have no set standards.

Like me, where only the right hand changes, it’s still mutation type.

Like Heo Hyeon-yun, where the entire body changes, it’s also mutation type.

Even people who grow tails, organs that shouldn’t exist, are classified as mutation types.

Animals, plants, and so on.

The range of what mutation types can mutate into was vastly wide.

But among such mutation types, there was one that stood out particularly.

“Your right hand became a gun…?”

Cases of mutation into inanimate objects.

Those whose body parts mutate into specific objects.

I stared at Suzuki’s right hand with trembling pupils.

Her right hand had transformed to look like a gun.

An inanimate mutation, which was unusual even among mutation types.

A unique skill that mutates into a weapon—a gun, no less.

She smiled as if she had the right answer and aimed her right hand’s gun barrel at me.

“Inanimate mutations are quite peculiar.”

Rat-tat-tat-tat—!

Gunshots rang out and the barrel spat fire.

What shot out weren’t ordinary bullets but bullets of magi.

Each bullet was imbued with dense magi.

“People who transform into swords never lose their sharpness as long as they have mana. People who transform into rods can even extend their arms.”

Those bullets can’t be blocked with mist.

Even if I tried to block them, they’d pierce through the mist and come at me.

My thinking was brief.

It had to be brief.

While I was having these thoughts, the bullets had already reached close range.

“My right hand transforms into a gun, and I have the power to shoot magi bullets until my mana runs out.”

Thud.

I rolled on the floor to dodge the bullets and pulled out tatami to throw at Suzuki.

But Suzuki fired a barrage of magi bullets, destroying the tatami before it could get close.

“A power that never changes as long as mana doesn’t run out.”

While Suzuki’s attention was briefly on the tatami.

I detonated mist beneath my feet and shot toward Suzuki at high speed.

I dove into her embrace and threw a clenched fist, but.

By the time I threw my punch, she had already moved away from me at high speed.

“That’s why I don’t like this unique skill.”

As long as mana exists, it never loses its characteristics.

Therefore, among mutation types that are mostly growth-type, skills that mutate into inanimate objects have no growth-type variants.

“It’s like I’ve become a weapon with consciousness, isn’t it?”

Even non-growth-type skills can still grow.

It’s just that their growth speed is infinitely slower compared to growth-type skills.

But skills that mutate into inanimate objects never change.

That’s why she.

“I don’t care if I become a cursed sword that shouldn’t be touched.”

She accepted magi into her body.

To break through unchanging limits.

Also, to prove she wasn’t just an ordinary weapon.

That’s why she desperately clawed her way up.

In the end.

“Suzuki Ai, right hand of the Narukami Clan, will eliminate you.”

She succeeded in rising to the position of Gaien’s right hand, becoming an untouchable cursed sword.

Suzuki smiled brightly and aimed her gun barrel at me.

Magi slowly gathering.

That magi was dozens of times more powerful than the magi bullets she’d been firing.

The moment that gathered magi was fired.

“—!”

A tremendous roar erupted along with a dark flash of light.

* * *

Right after being thrown while wrapped in mist.

Rai, who had embraced Hikari and absorbed all the impact, staggered to his feet.

“Damn it…”

Age 6.

Rai was riding in a car with his parents, going down a mountain road.

It was a place that hadn’t yet recovered from monster damage, so they were heading there to handle the situation as a noble family.

Originally, only his father, the family head, and his mother should have gone, but Rai had pestered them to come along simply because he was curious.

Eventually, Rai rode in the car with them toward the mountain that had reportedly suffered damage.

On the way back after confirming everything.

The car carrying them was hit by falling rocks on the mountainside and rolled down below.

His parents died that way.

Rai was left alone with Hikari, who had just turned one.

His parents had also been Awakened, but they chose not to protect themselves in order to shield Rai from the sudden accident.

His parents died because of him.

The one who extended a hand to Rai, who couldn’t emerge from his shock, was Gaien.

His father’s younger brother—his uncle.

“Damn it, damn it…!”

After taking Gaien’s hand, Rai couldn’t smile anywhere except in front of Hikari.

Even his smiles were controlled.

As if it was natural for him to do this much as the head of a noble family, he lived receiving only the stick without any carrots.

For 5 years like that.

One day, Gaien approached him with a smile as he had become a living puppet.

Ah, I’m finally being acknowledged.

My efforts are finally bearing fruit.

For the first time, Rai smiled brightly somewhere other than in front of Hikari, took Gaien’s hand, and headed somewhere.

And that day.

Rai was abandoned inside an A-rank Gate.

“Can’t I do anything at all…!”

Inside the Gate was terrifying.

It was crawling with monsters.

So in the end, I couldn’t escape from a life of being ignored.

I’m going to be abandoned and die like this.

Just as a monster’s front paw was about to strike him as he fell into despair.

He was able to survive thanks to entering the Tutorial Tower.

Surprisingly, he didn’t stay in the Tutorial Tower for long.

The education he had been forced to receive from his uncle resulted in him conquering the Tutorial Tower in just one month.

He obtained a unique skill called ‘Lightning Rod’ that gave him resistance to electricity in the tower, and since he happened to be abandoned in a place with monsters that emitted electricity, he was able to survive safely.

“B-Brother!”

“…!”

For the surviving Rai, only one purpose remained.

To take revenge on his uncle.

Rai still remembers the last words Gaien said when he abandoned him in the Gate.

‘You turned out to be just as useless as your father.’

That accident back then was Gaien’s doing.

He had been manipulated by him without even knowing it.

If he kills that bastard, everything will be resolved.

So Rai trained his unique skill ‘Lightning Rod’ to its absolute limit.

He pushed a simple skill whose description merely ended with ‘absorbs electricity to prevent electrocution’ to its ultimate growth.

In that process, contempt naturally followed.

At first, for being a kid who entered Gates.

When he proved himself and grew stronger, for being lucky with his skill.

Later, simply for being a ‘Narukami.’

He had endured all kinds of contempt.

And because he no longer wanted to be looked down upon, he brought all those who scorned him to their knees.

And now.

Having proudly become A-rank and returned to Hokkaido for revenge and vindication.

“What the hell is that….”

He was still a frog in a well.

He looked up at the sky with roughly trembling pupils.

The manor exploding with rough roars like bombardment.

Something black burst through the clouds rising in cloud-like formations.

“Mir-nim!”

“…!”

Han Mi-reo.

The man who had listened to his circumstances and joined hands to pursue mutual interests.

The man who revealed that Hikari, whom he thought was still brainwashed, actually harbored the same thoughts as himself.

That man burst out of the mist, scattering crimson blood.

“That hurts quite a bit…!”

“Hahaha! You’re enduring after I pounded you with that much magi!? You’re not normal either!?”

“Shut up. Even if I’m about to die, I won’t use that kind of power.”

His right hand floating in midair suddenly swelled up.

Immediately after, his right hand transformed more menacingly.

[Thousand Transformations – Dragon Scales]

Dragon.

Like a single black dragon from mythology.

Wrapping absolute and unchanging power around his right hand, he stepped on the air and plummeted toward the mist at high speed.

[Sliding Mist]

The black mist became a foothold for his advance.

He charged forward without hesitation, as if wherever he went became his path.

Breaking through the clouds like that, he was looking at only one place.

“Ha, haha. Lucky you! Thanks to getting a good unique skill, your starting point is different from mine!”

“Different starting point?”

Whoosh.

A magic bullet fired by Suzuki grazed his cheek.

Blood spurted with a stinging sensation.

Suzuki didn’t retreat and continued firing magic bullets.

Magi projectiles embroidered the air.

But he didn’t dodge.

Just toward one place.

He simply continued advancing.

“Why don’t you stop acting spoiled? You’re not even a child.”

“…!”

“More than anything, I’d prefer if you didn’t misunderstand.”

Boom!

Han Mi-reo crashed down with a tremendous roar.

Just that vibration alone shattered and collapsed the fence.

Beyond the collapsed fence.

Han Mi-reo pulled back his right hand burning like fire and said with a smile.

“I simply always gave my desperate all to fulfill my role.”

Whether before or after awakening, it didn’t matter.

His right hand stretched forward, tearing through the air.

That fist that only struck empty air without reaching Suzuki.

[Mist Rend -]

Completely annihilated the entire area with a single blow.

A torrent of surging power.

The surrounding air rushed violently toward one spot as if trying to fill the annihilated space.

Overwhelming power that only an S-rank Hunter would display.

Unlike Hikari, who had frozen before that power.

“….”

Rai looked at the Black Dragon standing quietly in the eye of the storm.

And gripped his sword hilt tightly.
