It was a late night devoid of people.
Thirty days had passed since the capture of Lee Chang-hyuk.
Buwaaaaaaaaa!
A noise like an explosion filled the empty roads of the freeway.
Dozens of illegally modified bikes emitted intense heat, noise, and dazzling lights in unison.
Hellhound.
That was the na of the biker gang that had recently taken over the freeway.
They rode in a frenzy without even the most basic safety gear, let alone helts.
Their wild ride was either a deviation for a mont of pleasure or a manifestation of so instinct-driven madness.
But today was different.
The only reason they were rushing through the freeway today was to escape from .
Fu*k! Hes still following us!
How is this even possible!
Amidst the thunderous roar of the bikes and the howling wind, my keen senses accurately picked up the biker gangs blabber.
These were the bikers who had previously evaded their pursuers with their mobility.
But since I was keeping up with them with nothing but my bare body, it certainly warranted calling a monster.
No, it wasnt exactly with nothing.
One of the bikers finally couldnt stand it anymore and let out a scream-like shout.
How is he following us with that thing!
A large skateboard was making an incredible noise as it sped along beneath .
The actions I was performing were nearly impossible with just my strength and agility, but the spells forcibly cast on the board and my hoodie enabled to do what I wanted.
[Speed Increase]
[Posture Control]
I pushed more magical power into the board to increase its speed.
Boom!
A roar like that of a monster bike erupted from the skateboard, which didnt even have an engine.
Crazy! What the hell is that!
I had now caught up to the rear of the biker gang.
Die, you monster!
One of the bikers at the back slowed down a bit and then pointed a submachine gun at .
Ratatatatata!!
[Leap]
Creak! Whir!
The newly enchanted board made unstable noises but, following my will, it leaped into the air.
The bikers at the rear scread as they saw flying into the sky.
Aaagh!
This is insane!
A mage! That guys a mage!
Had they only just realized I was a mage?
Ah, thats right. It must have been their first ti seeing a mage charging down the road like this.
At the apex of my leap, my elevated viewpoint allowed to survey the entire gang of bikers below.
Lets see Ah, these reckless souls. Not a single one wearing a helt.
Dudadadadada!! Dudadadadada, Dudadadadadada!!!
Bullets erupted like a disturbed beehive.
In the world of [Cthulhu World] that was far removed from reality even juvenile bikers were ard with submachine guns.
[Protective Circle]
Titatatat! Tatat, Tititing!
Bullets ricocheted right before my eyes.
One of the bikers at the forefront was screaming as if in a frenzy.
What are you doing, idiots! Shoot properly! Bring him down!
Ah, is the loudmouth the one?
I focused magical power towards my eyes to spot the one shouting.
Red jacket blonde, tanned man.
Lucky. Got him.
[Hardening]
I cast hardening on the board and applied a shock beneath it to add double propulsion!
[Impact]
Kwaang!
I then flew across the air at trendous speed, heading straight for the front of the biker gang.
Such feat was impossible without an exquisite sense of balance, timing, and the ability to control magical power.
Even the bikers montarily forgot their situation and gaped in awe.
Kwaang!
I landed on the ground, but I kept my speed without slowing down and turned my head.
The bikers, unable to reduce their speed, now seed to be following .
None of you are wearing helts. Why risk injury? Why not just surrender?
This was their final warning. If they continued to act recklessly despite my leniency, there was only so much more I could tolerate
Still acting tough, you son of a bit*h!
A biker wearing a bright blue Sukajan jacket increased his speed while swinging a long iron flail.
Ah, was he a mid-boss?
There was no need to use magic on him.
I simply t his eyes directly.
The mont he caught up and our eyes locked
The four eyes on the mask emitted a chilling light.
Kiiiiing!
[The unique effect of the L-rank accessory Carcosas Mask, Yellow Dominion, has been activated.
// Yellow Dominion: Automatically cast the Instill Fear spell]
[System: Instill Fear effect forces a madness check on the target. Judging]
[Judgnt successful. An unbearable fear takes hold of the targets mind.]
Arghhhhhhh!
The complexion of the guy who t my eyes turned as pale as the color of the Sukajan jacket he wore.
Unable to resist the Instill Fear spell, his body started showing abnormalities.
The symptoms were roughly sweating, difficulty breathing, mild convulsions, and dizziness.
Grrrrrr
And then he fainted.
The biker, having lost consciousness, let go of the handle and fell off his bike.
Eek!
[Invisible Hand]
Crack! Boom!
The bike that lost its rider tumbled across the freeway before breaking into pieces.
I had no obligation to save the biker who had co at with the intent to kill, but
My dreams were already turbulent these days; I saw no need to kill him so I used telekinesis to toss him into the bushes off the road.
Well, he might survive if hes lucky.
Eeeek you monster!
Hey, who are you calling a monster?
Dozens of guns were once again aid at .
Isnt this too close?
A protective circle alone seed too risky at this mont.
[Distortion Field]
As I activated a new spell
Ratatatatatatatata!!!
The biker gangs submachine guns fired in unison.
The bullets aid at were caught and redirected by the Distortion Field, which warped long-range attacks before sending them flying in random directions.
Bababababababang!!!
The misdirected bullets headed toward the biker gang, creating a myriad of sparks on the road ahead of them.
Arghhhhh!
Screeeeech!!!
Then I added another spell to the mix.
[Whirlwind]
Whooshhhhh!!!
It was a first-order spell that generated strong winds. Since it was a first-order one, it was ant for support rather than attack.
However, when I really started to infuse magical power into the spell, these clumsy enemies could be torn apart just by that.
Kwagwagwagwagwagyagyagyang!
An overwhelming storm that was strong enough to shake the road was created.
I had no intention of directly hitting them with this spell. It was just ant to slow them down, and as I thought, the speed of the bikes drastically decreased.
Now, theyll get hurt a bit less, wont they?
I threw away my skateboard and jumped up while pumping my magical power into one hand.
Thats it for the racing event now!
[Earthquake Strike]
As soon as I fell, I slamd my fist which was filled with magical power onto the ground.
Gugugugung Kwaaaaang!!!
The asphalt of the freeway began to violently tremble.
Uaaaaaak!
Unable to withstand the terrible vibration, the bikers started to fall off their bikes one by one, starting with the one in the lead.
Kwadangtangtang-! Kwajik! Kyagyagyagyag!
Ah, they should have worn helts Though their speed had reduced considerably, it was still fast enough to be lethal.
Blood and bike parts scattered in all directions.
The freeway quickly turned into a junkyard, tangled with bike debris and human trash.
Still, I exerted a bit of rcy by using wind and telekinesis to catch those who seed in real danger.
It was a widespread accident that happened simultaneously in a broad area. Without my surreal level of magic control and sensing abilities, it would have been impossible.
Anyway, I had to waste quite a bit of concentration on that wind and I failed to preemptively stop one guys sudden action.
Dieeeee! You son of a bit*h!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a loud shout ca from outside my field of vision, followed by fierce flas rushing towards .
[The unique effect of the L-rank accessory Carcosas Mask, Dreamy blur, has been activated.
// Dreamy blur: Automatically cast the Blink spell]
The mask covering my face suddenly gave a bizarre sensation like it was pulling in.
Sensing the danger, the [Carcosas Mask] activated the blink spell and teleported my body away.
The incoming flas struck the empty ground and they lted a bit of the roads asphalt before disappearing.
Hey, 30 million won. You motherfu**er dont give a s*it that I did all of this s*it to save your life?
The leader of the biker gang, a tanned blonde in a red jacket, growled with blood dripping from his head.
Stop fu*king around You speak about saving us after doing all this s*it?
Was his nickna Mad Dog? Im not sure of his real na, but his bounty was 30 million won.
Uaaaaaah!
Mad Dog spread his arms and let out a roar. It wasnt a aningless gesture.
Suddenly, strange flas burst from the guys shoulders and they wrapped around his arms.
Your friends, they dont happen to call you Fire Fist Mad Dog, do they?
It was, more precisely, pyrokinesis.
Just like Lee Chang-hyuk whom I had faced before, this guy suffered from magical hypertrophy.
Because he was born with a powerful magical power, he could wield primitive forms of magic.
Much like a person with superpowers.
Mad Dog, with his arms ablaze, thrust them forward and yelled at .
Bring it on, you fu*king c*nt!
The heat emanating from his body was more intense than I had anticipated. This wasnt sothing my fire resistance could fully handle.
Whats there to bring, you mad dog? Go drink so cold water and cool your head.
[Creation: Create Clear Water]
[Spell Enhancent: Maximize]
Kwaah!
Following my will, the magic circles created in the air started spewing out massive amounts of water.
Tch!
Upon seeing the massive amount of water I had created, Mad Dog flinched briefly before regaining his composure and charging at .
Normally, its better to charge at a mage than to run away from them. Good decision.
As Mad Dog closed in, I imbued the cascading water with new properties.
[Whirling Waves]
Chaaaaaak!!! Kwapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa!!!
The other bikers who were attempting to follow their leader and attack were stunned by the incredible scene and tumbled to the ground in shock.
A wave like this, on a dry road!?
The sight of waterfalls, waves, and raging torrents forming on a previously dry road was indeed a spectacle.
Despite the trendous waves crashing over the road, not a single droplet touched or the now disheartened remnants of the biker gang.
It was a massive torrent of violence directed solely at one man.
Rumble-rumble-rumble
Ugh Ahh Ahhhhh!!! Aaack!!
[You have defeated Biker Gang: Mad Dog]
[You have defeated Biker Team: Hellhound]
[You have accumulated enough experience points to advance to the next level. Your level increases by 1.]
Hmph Just one level?
Now I was at level 16.
Ever since my battle against Lee Chang-hyuk, I had only encountered weaklings, so I didnt gain much experience points.
Its all because Tudor intentionally chose easy tasks with high rewards for
I appreciated that she did all of that in consideration of , but it was still disappointing that I had only leveled up once after a whole month. I was hoping for more challenging tasks to begin soon.
I manipulated the waves to drag Mad Dog to my feet.
You should have just surrendered quietly when I was being considerate, shouldnt you?
Grrrr
If he had just surrendered without a fuss, it wouldnt have co to this.
Mad Dog, who had been tossed around like clothes in an aggressively spinning washing machine, was now completely worn out.
Now that I took care of him, it was ti to return. I looked around at the biker gang mbers crawling nearby and said,
Anyone else wants to try their luck?
No-not at all!
P-please, just spare our lives!
I-it was all this bastards doing! He made us do it!
Thats right! Please forgive us!
What a bunch of disloyal bastards
Well, the mission was only to capture the leader so there was no need to bother with the others.
Alright, thats done But where exactly am I?
I looked around. I had run much farther than I originally intended.
The chase had been more entertaining than I expected, and I just lost track of ti.
Would I even be able to hail a taxi in this neighborhood at this hour?
Would you like a ride to the city center?
A strange voice ca from an unexpected direction.
It had a very unique accent. Not Korean, but a foreigners voice.
The direction was over there, in the shadows of the dark trees beyond the road. I could see a figure lurking.
Who is this bastard loitering around in the middle of the night, trying to act all mysterious?
