I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 86

Episode 087

had a dry tone and stated that what the mother wanted was a private interview with Hunter Ban Seo-jin and that she wanted to know in detail the process of what actually happened in the dungeon.

I scrolled down to see if there was any other content, and I saw a comment window filled with harsh words.

It’s a shame. I was wondering who Son Moa looked like, and she looked like her mother.

If it’s the Chungwangryu dungeon, the story is over. Why do something useless when you can’t even find the body…

That’s the parents’ mindset.

Chungwangryu: Son Moa had a good meal ^^

⇧ 90 ⇩ 23

oww**** 06:54:08

Why are you acting like that when you’re already dead? Isn’t that what they are doing for money from someone? I doubt it. hmm.

Ugh, I feel bad.

As I mechanically scrolled down and checked the comments, a translucent palm appeared above me.

When I looked up, Seo Ji-han, who had a worried face, shook his head slightly.

– Don’t read. It just hurts my mood.

Seo Ji-han’s palm couldn’t cover anything, so I could still see the cruel comments, but I nodded and put my phone away.

And with a sinking feeling, I sat down and looked down at the dirt floor in silence.

All kinds of thoughts are swirling around.

But there was only one conclusion.

“I need to go see you.”

Seo Ji-han, who was restlessly observing my expression, was about to say something but swallowed it.

I know what you’re trying to say.

This means that if you get caught over there, the situation could get worse.

I know.

Know.

Sometimes there are situations you just have to endure.

But when I saw my mother’s face, which had lost a lot of weight over the past few days and became thin, I couldn’t just stay there.

Even if this was a trap, I wanted to somehow let my mother know that I survived.

“It’s not that there is no way.”

– which?

How can I go to meet him without being caught?

I kept thinking about that.

Actually, I’m not sure yet, but it was worth a try.

“Vargis also transformed into a flying insect. So, not just Vargis, but any bug may be able to transform.”

After speaking, I remembered the giant bee that Vargis had transformed into and used Chung King Transformation.

As if the guess was wrong, along with the sensation of a tearing sensation in the back, translucent wings rose and the buttocks grew longer, taking on a bee-like shape.

And soon I became a wasp.

– Are you going to fly away like that?

He seemed to have said it without much thought, but I suddenly thought that it seemed like a very good idea.

If this body could have grown as big as the wasp that Vargis transformed into, he would have been able to kidnap his family by pretending to be a monster invasion.

I tried several times to get bigger, but it was impossible to grow more than 1.5 times my size.

Eventually, I briefly returned to human form to speak.

“It would be great if it grew enormously, but it is not allowed to mutate beyond a certain size.

Hmm, then will it be possible to make it smaller?

“Vargis has also mutated into a wasp smaller than his body, so I think it will be possible to shrink his body.”

– Let’s do it.

“wait a minute.”

I used the Chungwang mutation again.

As my body gradually shrunk, the world grew bigger and bigger, and before I knew it, I had become a small wasp, standing on the dirt floor.

It’s okay to change small things.

-Are you okay?

Since it’s so small, it feels like just an ordinary insect.

However, if you become a flying insect and fly around, one day, a fly swatter will come flying at you.

Because the sound of these wings is very annoying.

But still, I felt like I was getting closer to an answer.

Just being able to reduce the size is a huge benefit.

I first returned to human form to talk to Seo Ji-han.

“First of all, it seems like you can reduce the size and change into any of the insects, but flying insects seem to be more likely to attract attention.”

– like.

Seo Ji-han stroked his chin with a very interesting expression.

“Do you know any useful insects?”

– How about Paris? It’s common and doesn’t seem to attract much attention.

“That is the number one insect that is annoying when flying around.”

– What about mosquitoes?

“Hmm, it’s a bug with useful hiding abilities, but isn’t its flying speed a bit slow?”

-What about ants?

“I follow my mom through the years at the pace of an ant.”

Hearing my words, Seo Ji-han scratched the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed expression.

– I’m not really interested in bugs, so I’m not sure.

“Well, let me think about it. I don’t know much about bugs either. “Oh, shall we do some searching on the Internet?”

– Is that so? But how do you search?

“Isn’t there a bug that has good mobility and is hard to see?”

While I was thinking and checking the search results, my hand stopped at a certain point.

This insect fully meets the conditions.

Seo Ji-han and I called the bug’s name at the same time.

“flea.”

– Fleas.

flea.

It mainly has the habit of hiding between animal fur and sucking blood. It hides in the grass or dirt and then sticks to the skin of a dog out for a walk or a person lying on the grass.

It is a pest among pests that is comparable to mosquitoes and is of no help to humans, as it bites people or animals and causes skin diseases or spreads diseases.

However, it was a creature with unnecessarily good physical performance as it was not easily noticeable and had mobility based on its tremendous jumping ability.

And the body specifications that seem to be optimized for this stealth tracking are very useful to me right now.

– Are you okay?

I nodded firmly.

Just a moment ago, I was thinking about sealing this skill or something.

My body turned into a bug was so disgusting that I almost threw up.

I could tolerate this if I could see my family.

Mom, I can become a flea or a mosquito for you.

“I’ll try.”

Seo Ji-han also nodded seriously at my determined attitude.

I took a deep breath, remembered the image of the flea I had just seen on my phone, and used the Chung King transformation.

Actually, I don’t know completely what fleas look like.

If I close my eyes and say, ‘Draw a flea,’ I don’t have the confidence to draw it.

But it was the same for Vargis and the wasp he transformed into.

Even if you don’t completely recognize the form, if it’s an insect or a living creature that exists somewhere, there doesn’t seem to be a problem with transformation.

When I used the skill, the transformation was simple.

After some time, my body became smaller and more deformed, until I became a very small flea, comparable in size to a grain of sand.

The clothes I was wearing fell to the floor.

When I lifted one of its front paws, I saw a shiny bracelet and ring sewn onto the pointed front leg.

It seemed like the item had shrunk to the size of a flea.

Dungeon items shrink in size to fit the user’s body.

But I didn’t know it would match the size of a flea.

I was surprised by the system’s customized service.

I went through the pile of clothes that looked like a small garden and took out Seo Ji-han’s soul stone in my pocket. Perhaps because this was also a dungeon item acquired through a skill, the size gradually decreased and turned into a flea-custom size.

– Should I collect it?

Seo Ji-han must have been anxious about my sudden disappearance, so he wandered around the clothes and looked for me.

Well, now that I’ve confirmed that I can change like this, I’ll have to go back to my human form.

I can’t have a conversation like this.

I returned to my human form and wrapped my cloak around me to roughly cover myself.

The service that automatically puts clothes on you is not a good transformation skill, so I have to take care of my naked body myself.

– Wow!

Perhaps it was because the cape was put on a little late that things like the thighs and shoulders were covered a little later.

Seo Ji-han was frightened by the suddenly rising color of his skin and turned around, covering his eyes.

Normally I might have been embarrassed, but right now I just feel good about it.

okay. Mr. Seo Ji-han.

Am I embarrassed to see my bare shoulders or thighs?

It’s okay to look like a flea, a centipede, or a wasp, but I’m shocked when my shoulders or thighs are exposed…

Hmm, actually, I’ve been so attached to Seo Ji-han over the past few months that I thought it wouldn’t be a problem if I just took it off.

I don’t want anyone to see both the fleas and the naked body, but since I got rid of the fleas, wouldn’t it be okay to be naked?

No, come to your senses.

No respect as a human being, no dignity, no matter what, I must not lose myself as a human being.

I don’t know what it is, but I can’t lose it anyway.

“I’m turning into a flea.”

My voice flowed out weakly, like a deflated balloon.

– Are you dressed?

“I’m wearing a cape.”

Only then did Seo Ji-han carefully look back.

I looked at him with a semi-liberated feeling and picked up my phone.

“It’s still morning in Korea. “I’ll spend some time here and then head to Korea around rush hour at the Dungeon Management Office.”

It seemed like my mother’s one-person protest would probably begin around that time.

Maybe my mom will come out a little later, but I still want to go a little early and wait for her.

– That’s right. Would you like to regain some of your magic power?

“This skill doesn’t use magic power.”

– what?

“It doesn’t seem to cost anything. In fact, it doesn’t even take any stamina to transform. “I guess this is why Vargis was able to use it even in a half-tongue state.”

– I know. Even if there is a limit to the species that can be transformed, it is an S-class transformation skill and does not require any magical energy. That’s a huge advantage.

“is it so?”

– Even if you are tied down with an item that blocks magical power like Eundam Yoo, you can still use that transformation skill as much as you like.

“ah.”

After listening to it, it was a really great advantage, but it didn’t really have any merit.

Why why are you a bug?

Why can I only transform into a bug?

Because it is an S-class skill, it does not work on any blocking items and does not consume magic power, so you can use this skill to escape even in situations where you cannot use magic power. It’s definitely a deceptive performance.

But I really don’t feel any admiration or joy.

Just because the species that can transform is bugs.

It would be better if it were a mammal.

How nice would it be to approach mom as a cute stray cat?

But I am a flea. Today I am a flea.

But I will be the most dutiful flea in the world, Mom.

I can endure any disgusting sight.

I can do it.

This is nothing. If it’s for my family, I’ll do it…

Actually, it’s nothing.

It’s really hard.

But endure.

Because it has to be that way.
