It pours out.

A tremendous amount of dimensional currency pours out from the bodies and equipment of the enemies.

Moreover, the loot was not the end of it.

[Constellations admire your exploits.]

[Constellations look forward to your growth.]

[Some Constellations smile at your cunning strategies.]

He even received the enormous support of Constellations who were amazed at his defeating of First-Class Demon with a humble spec.

‘Ah. Dopamine x500.’

Kang Seo-joon felt an immense sense of accomplishment.

To the extent that the prefrontal cortex was stimulated with dopamine.

‘Alright, next up.’

It was time to pass on the Carnivorous Parasite to Park Shin-hoo.

[You have selected the trait 《Carnivorous Parasite Lv. Lowest》 to transfer to the host.]

[Trait 《Carnivorous Parasite Lv. Lowest》 disappears!]

[Host 《Park Shin-hoo》 gains the trait 《Carnivorous Parasite Lv. Lowest》!]

The reason he hadn’t passed on the Carnivorous Parasite to Park Shin-hoo until now was to use the experience shuttle for longer.

If he casually passed on the Carnivorous Parasite to Park Shin-hoo, who usually gulped down potions like water, the Carnivorous Parasite would soon burst out of Park Shin-hoo’s stomach.

However, he no longer needed to worry about that.

“For a while, Park Shin-hoo won’t even be able to see the word ‘potion’.”

Although Park Shin-hoo could escape thanks to Kang Seo-joon, he wouldn’t be able to escape all the way to the academy camp.

There were surveillance teams spread out by the Demons in this forest.

They were a contingency plan in case Credo missed Park Shin-hoo.

Kang Seo-joon could use the ‘Eye of Providence’ to move through their squares and avoid being caught, but Park Shin-hoo had no such strategy.

He might not even know that there were Demons laid out all over the forest.

‘By now, he might have already been caught by the surveillance Demon teams.’

Kang Seo-joon had never intended to save Park Shin-hoo from the beginning.

After all, this wasn’t a trap set up to lure Credo and make him eat something.

What Kang Seo-joon wanted was a full-scale confrontation with the Taesan Group and the Red Cross Society.

For that, it was necessary for Park Shin-hoo to be kidnapped.

However, with this, he had zero trait exchange vouchers left.

‘It will be difficult to handle debuff traits as parasitic growth for a while.’

Of course, considering the potion he would consume this time, it was a measure that he did not regret at all.

《Item》

▶ Luxury Steroid for Beginners in the Downtown

◆ Grade:

[Legendary]

◆ Description:

A state-of-the-art steroid pill developed by a legendary bodybuilder from an advanced space civilization for beginners with weak bodies. It is a luxury item containing the essence of nanomachines and chemistry. It has excellent effects and almost no side effects, but it is very expensive and in high demand among young rich people in Downtown. With this pill alone, even a weak anchovy can have muscles like an athlete overnight.

When consumed, strength, agility, endurance, health, and senses each increase by +1.

When strength, agility, endurance, health, and senses are all 5 or less, consuming it will increase physical stats by +5 each.

※Caution! Stats above 16 cannot benefit from the effects!

————–

When used by an F Grade, this potion increases the total physical stats by a whopping 25 points.

Considering that most potions only slightly increase stats or experience points, it is understandable that this inferior potion is of [Legendary] grade.

‘I’ll keep this for now.’

Kang Seo-joon put the 《Luxury Steroid for Beginners in the Downtown》 into the dimensional shopping basket.

‘I’ll just eat it at home anyway. It would be troublesome if I bought it in advance and lost it.’

Although he wanted to buy it and eat it right away, he didn’t want to show that kind of sight to Seo Eun-ha again, where his whole body twisted into an abomination show.

‘Now, all that’s left is to clean up the scene.’

Kang Seo-joon looked around.

Traces of battle that were still intact.

The ground was pockmarked, trees were chopped into pieces, and there were traces of Demons’ blood and magic scattered everywhere.

Kang Seo-joon deliberately left all these clues.

This much of a clue should allow the Taesan Group to track the Demons.

The problem was those over there.

“K-Kang Seo-joon! Can’t you hear us!?”

“What are you doing! Let us go!”

“Eek!”

They were Park Shin-hoo’s henchmen.

Kang Seo-joon sighed as he looked at them tied up on one side.

‘It would have been better if they had stayed unconscious.’

With Seo Eun-ha’s help, he had managed to subdue them for now, but he couldn’t just let them go like this.

In the fight between the Red Cross Society and the Taesan Group, Kang Seo-joon had to remain a shadow.

The moment he was exposed, Kang Seo-joon could also become a target of the Demons.

Having seen Kang Seo-joon, who should only be a shadow, overthrow the Demons…

‘There’s no choice but to erase their memories.’

Fortunately, Kang Seo-joon had a way.

‘I have some spare dimensional currency, and if I buy one, I’ll have a use for it for a long time.’

Kang Seo-joon bought a pen-sized machine rod from the dimensional store.

[Item]

▶ Memory Eraser for Secret Agents

◆ Grade:

[Rare]

◆ Description:

A tool favored by agents lurking in the shadows of the world to conceal their existence. It can erase memories from the desired time period of the target.

If the target has a stat of 26 or higher in either endurance, intelligence, or willpower, the effect may not work.

————–

It looks like a neuralizer from Men in Black, one way or another.

However, unlike the neuralizer that erases memories with a flashing light, this machine is not as elegant.

” Eun-ha, could you help me hold their hands one by one?”

“…How can I assist you?”

Kang Seo-joon showed the memory eraser,

“I have to put this in their ears. Just fix them to the ground so they can’t move.”

“Got it.”

Although Seo Eun-ha usually felt repulsed by absurd violence, she followed Kang Seo-joon’s instructions without a word this time.

Seo Eun-ha also knew that Park Shin-hoo’s gang’s behavior was quite vicious and delinquent.

She was merciful to the innocent, but her creed was not to waste emotions on those with impure and delinquent behavior.

“What! What are you doing!”

The henchman grabbed by Seo Eun-ha’s hair screamed as he rolled on the dirt floor.

“Why won’t you let me go?! Let me go!!”

“Stay still. Or you’ll get hurt badly.”

Kang Seo-joon brought the memory eraser to the struggling thug’s ear.

“What! What are you doing!!! Aaah!!”

“Be quiet. Eun-ha, please hold him tighter.”

“Yes.”

-Squaaaah!

“Screaaaaam! I’ll report you! Kang Seo-joon! I won’t let this go!”

To that, Kang Seo-joon could only chuckle.

“Hehehe. If you can remember, try it.”

– Click! –

– Wheeeeeeeeeee! –

As Kang Seo-joon pressed the button on the memory eraser, a noise like a blender filled the air.

– Squagagagak! Squagagagak! –

Intermittently, a sound like grinding skulls could be heard.

“Urk! Uhhhh!”

The thug’s eyes, pressed down, rolled in different directions.

The sight of him dripping snot and saliva from his nose and mouth was not pleasant.

Before long, the thug lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor.

“Must be a new one. The performance is really excellent.”

Kang Seo-joon, satisfied, approached the next target.

“What, what did you do!? What did you do to him!”

“You’ll find out soon.”

– Click! –

– Wheeeeeeee! –

The sound is harsh, but the machine doesn’t actually grind skulls.

It just slightly damages the brain’s memory cells with ultrasound.

Their intelligence stats will be permanently damaged, but who cares? They’re villains who won’t do a good deed in their lifetime anyway.

– Click! –

– Wheeeeeeeeeee! –

Kang Seo-joon erased all the memories of Park Shin-hoo’s gang and got up.

“Phew… That was something. Oh, my legs are itching. Thanks for your hard work, Eun-ha.”

Seo Eun-ha also wiped her dirty hands on the ground and stood up.

“But, Seo-jun. I wanted to ask earlier, what are you going to do about Park Shin-hoo? If he arrives at the academy camp and report it…”

If rumors spread that Kang Seo-joon saved Park Shin-hoo, the Demons would also learn about Kang Seo-joon’s existence. However, Kang Seo-joon showed no sign of worry on his face.

“Oh, him? It doesn’t matter. He won’t make it to the academy camp anyway.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I mean, he’s irrelevant. Anyway, should we talk about it on the way back?”

– Shuffle, shuffle. –

As Kang Seo-joon walked out of the forest, he explained his plan to Seo Eun-ha.

He talked about how Park Shin-hoo would not make it to the academy camp and would be caught by nearby surveillance Demons.

Seo Eun-ha’s expression remained serious as she listened.

“If there are more Demons around here, isn’t there a possibility that they might have seen us?”

Kang Seo-joon shook his head.

“Don’t worry about that. There’s a barrier set up around here by Credo.”

Kang Seo-joon looked up at the sky with the Eye of Providence.

A transparent barrier made of magic covered the area in a dome shape.

The barrier concealed their appearance and masked the noise from the outside, providing an illusionary protection.

The noise, explosions, and screams during Park Shin-hoo’s abduction were prevented from spreading outside by the measures taken by Credo.

“No matter how deserted this forest may be, they wouldn’t kidnap the successor of the Taesan Group in broad daylight without any precautions.”

“I understand.”

But Kang Seo-joon had something else to tell Seo Eun-ha.

“By the way, Eun-ha, I think I can fix this body soon.”

“Huh?!”

At his words, Seo Eun-ha’s eyes widened in surprise.

He could fix that?!

Her subsequent expression was one of awe and joy.
