Chapter 254

As Bellatrix came up on the stage, the hall became silent. Everyone was looking at her face with her mouth closed.

‘It looks strange.’

Park Si-jun thought so.

From an objective point of view, it is a beautiful appearance. Anyone who sees that woman would say yes.

But I felt strangely alienated.

‘It feels like a monster mimicking a human… … ‘

Park Si-joon’s senses were warning him.

Be wary of that woman. The intense aura she felt from her made her whole nerves stand up.

That energy is so foreign.

‘It doesn’t feel like a single energy, but a mixture of several energy, what is it?’

I couldn’t quite get it.

While Park Si-joon was thinking about it, Bella Triss looked down at her stage.

She said, “I’m glad that everyone attended. Did you enjoy the banquet?”

It was still a fascinating voice.

A voice that calms your heart just by listening to it. Those who heard it nodded as if possessed.

“I prepared the course with great care, and I’m glad that you seem satisfied. I had a lot of work to do, so I thought I’d entrust this banquet to someone else, but somehow I ended up in charge of it again.”

Bellatrix laughed bitterly.

She was going to leave it to someone else. There was no need to worry about who it was.

Renee, that’s the girl.

“Skip the gossip and go fast. We Jormungand are doing great all over the world.”

A huge screen appeared from behind the stage. Several videos appeared on the screen.

A video of monsters and villains roaming around.

“And most recently, what happened in Korea…”

In one of those videos, there was a picture of Korea. Exactly what it looked like at the founding ceremony.

“Like incidents like this. Maengjoo is very satisfied and is preparing for the big event. Anyway, there must be some people who have benefited a lot from these things…”

Bellatrix glanced around the stage.

“In the future, you will be able to enjoy even greater benefits. I assure you. But some of you may not like the benefits we offer.”

Bellatrix began to slowly descend the stage.

again and again. The sound of her heels echoed through the quiet hall.

She stopped in front of a man.

“……”

middle-aged male. Bella Triss looked at the man without a word and she laughed.

The man trembled at that smile.

“Would you like to go on stage?”

“I mean me?”

Bellatress smiled without a word.

The man looked like he didn’t want to follow.

But when she grabbed her arm, she couldn’t resist and she was dragged away.

And as soon as the man comes up on the stage.

-thud!

The image projected on the screen on the stage has changed.

A man is meeting someone. At first glance, the video is not unusual.

But when the voice came out, things changed.

[You have something to say about them?][exactly. I’ve been working with them for a long time, but I feel like this shouldn’t be the case anymore. So to you all I know… … .]

The man’s body stiffened.

Bella Triss slowly reached out her hand and removed the man’s mask. I saw an old man’s face.

A face like that, terrified.

“You did a fun job.”

“Hey, this is…”

The man’s eyes fluttered. Thinking about what to make an excuse for.

Bellatrix reached out to him.

“Ki, wait. Misunderstanding! Oh, I can explain everything. I’ll explain, take a moment…!”

“Shh.”

A thin finger covered the man’s mouth.

“If I try to make more excuses, it will only make me ugly. Doesn’t it?”

“Ugh, uh…!”

Two fingers pressed against his lips.

His sharp claws pierced his flesh, and blood dripped from the man’s lips.

“I don’t really like older men…”

Bella Triss stuck out her tongue.

At first glance, it sounds fascinating. But knowing the truth, it wasn’t like that.

“I don’t care, I’m hungry now.”

Her mouth was wide open.

It wasn’t just the level of people opening their mouths. As if someone grabbed his chin and pulled him up and down.

– Wow.

Her mouth widened to a level that was physically impossible. And the woman is the terrified man… … .

“Ugh…!”

she swallowed

– Agjak, ahduk.

There was the sound of bones breaking, the sound of flesh exploding. And the sound of digesting what you eat.

Park Si-jun widened his eyes.

He ate a man taller than his own, and Bella Triss’ stomach didn’t swell at all.

‘Is this physically possible?’

strange.

It was as if the food did not go into the stomach, but into some unknown place.

“Do you like cigarettes? It doesn’t taste very good. If you want to live a long life, you’d better quit smoking.”

Bella Triss wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and he praised the taste of what he ate.

It was extremely monstrous.

‘crotch.’

Suddenly, her tinnitus came to mind again.

Those who looked at her Bella Triss gulped her saliva. They all looked very frightened.

She looked at people with a smile.

“Don’t even try to betray me. I know what you do. We have a way.”

When I asked why such a banquet was held, was it to establish discipline so that the supporters would not betray them?

“Remember. We do not forgive traitors. Somehow…”

You will pay the price of betrayal.

Bella Triss’ warning echoed through her hall.

“Whoa.”

Lim So-ryung let out a long breath.

Until a little while ago, I was in charge of the air of the night sky, but now I am in charge of the moist air below.

The smell here is unbearable.

‘Blood and the foul smell of the dead.’

You’re used to seeing blood, and so is looking at corpses. But this was the first time I smelled it.

How many people here… No, I couldn’t guess how many hundreds of people had died.

“Are you ready?”

“okay.”

So-ryeong Lim saw the monsters trapped.

She is so gentle that she can’t even think of a monster she knows. Am I supposed to be gentle?

tamed very well. So you’re going to take him on stage and brag about his achievements.

“The stage proud of the achievements will become a sea of ​​blood.”

Lim So-ryung laughed softly.

She smelled faintly through the unpleasant odors of the basement. Smells like spilling people.

“Hey, get ready! You’re telling me to bring you up.”

“Isn’t that supposed to take you every New Year’s Eve?”

“No, only the strongest among them.”

A villain came down from the stairs.

She glanced at the trapped monsters and picked one by one.

“This, this. And that. Bring them all.”

The villains pulled out the trapped monsters.

If it was a normal monster, it would have been a good opportunity, but they did not move.

“……”

The basement was quiet.

Lim So-ryeong and her companions quietly and quickly left the basement.

“Let’s install the things we prepared in advance.”

“Well.”

* * *

After a shocking cannibal.

The atmosphere in the hall, which had been terrified, was also relaxed a little. But the atmosphere was still stiff.

‘I ate people, but the atmosphere would be good.’

Bella Triss felt it too, and she seemed to think she had to change the mood.

“It would be better to put aside the trivial stories and show you the things you most expected. What are you doing that makes you wait even longer…”

pair.

Bellatrix applauded. As if she had been waiting for it, someone came up on the stage.

The villain I saw a while ago. He stood on stage with a familiar potion in his hand.

“Many people will be dissatisfied with the current society, a society that revolves around players. Especially if you have financial resources.”

Bellatress laughed quietly.

The player has enormous power. He has the fame and money that comes with it.

“Players will also be dissatisfied. This structure can only be strengthened by the will of the mastermind, and cannot be strengthened unless chosen by them.”

The villain on stage handed her her bottle.

“It’s a tool that can help people with those grievances. That’s what I’ve always told you.”

The bottle contained a cloudy liquid.

A dark colored liquid with a strange glow.

“We succeeded in making the monsters’ power and their racial characteristics into an elixir-like form. This is the result.”

The power and racial characteristics of monsters were made into an elixir. Park Si-joon’s eyes widened.

‘Is that possible?’

It was an incredible achievement.

“I’d like to show you what this experiment turned out to be. In the future.”

The villain next to Bellatris took a step forward. She gently grabbed his shoulder.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“This kid was my subordinate, a player but not very potential. He was weak.”

Everyone watched the stage holding their breath.

“But now…”

– Whoa!

As soon as he said those words, the villain’s body grew huge. like that of an ogre.

As he roared, he grabbed a huge chunk of steel that had flew towards him.

And he bent very lightly.

“I have gained such a strong power. The stats have also risen significantly compared to before, and you can tell just by looking at it.”

“Oh, that’s finally…”

“Up until now, I’ve heard that it failed against players, but now it’s successful? Then the odds…”

The intestines roared.

That was what many had expected. Because there were some people who were able to collaborate with Jormungand to obtain such power.

“I want to ask you one thing.”

Then the man suddenly raised his hand.

“Yes, gentleman there. Please tell me.”

“Do you have to be like that in order to use your power?”

“I made it look like this on purpose to make it easier for everyone to understand.”

Bellatrix’s gesture made the villain’s body smaller again. He lightly bent the steel block just like before.

“In this way, the appearance of the monster can be minimized. Of course, small changes are inevitable.”

“That’s not bad.”

The villain’s arms were bulging as usual, but not as monstrous as before.

“Wait, one more question. What’s your success rate with players?”

“In the current situation, it is over 80%.”

“Before, the success rate was low, but it has risen significantly. So what about the general public?”

“About 20%. But I’m sure this can be raised as big as the player’s case.”

“I also……”

Questions kept coming and going.

Park Si-joon got a lot of information while listening to their questions and answers. and how long has it been

“And besides this, the research you’ve been waiting for for a long time has succeeded.”

The monsters started coming up on the stage one by one. All were powerful monsters.

“Tame the monsters. Research has been completed so that you can take it and eat it right now.”

“Oh oh…….”

people admired Lim So-ryeong was also smiling happily, perhaps inspired by people’s reactions.

At that moment, a voice was heard in Park Si-jun’s ear.

‘I’m ready.’

So-Ryeong Lim’s voice.

The smile on the corner of Park Si-jun’s lips was young.
