Episode 142
“Haa….”
After overcoming the crisis, Ricky Harlis sighed softly.
Green magic penetrates the body and holds the organs in place to prevent further damage.
That was an emergency treatment that she could do because she had a skill called ‘Energy Drain’ and had excellent magic control.
‘shit. ‘What is this?’
Even though she was a magician class, her physical abilities were not low.
‘I was so stupid… I let my guard down.’
Even taking that into account, allowing a surprise attack means that the opponent’s speed stat is at least 220.
According to the information, Chairman Jeong Zhi did not have that level of ability.
‘But why…’
She looked at the battle in front of her and sighed again.
Quang. Quang. Kwaaang.
The battle continued at a pace that was difficult to follow with the eye.
It’s not just about being fast.
Taehyun and Association President Jeongz exchanged attacks using movements that were difficult for her to understand.
Quang.
Chairman Jeong Zhi punched out his fist and Taehyun twisted his arms to block it.
At the same time, Taehyun’s regime was hit at extremely close range.
‘Is that… martial arts…?’
Some information popped into her mind.
Before there was a time where skills and grades were idolized like now.
Humans used to train their bodies to gain strength equivalent to low-level skills.
It is not much different in the present era.
People with physical awakenings also improve their physical abilities through training or martial arts training.
There are a variety of martial arts, including traditional martial arts, which are more difficult to learn than the widely known general martial arts.
What the practitioners wanted most was an ancient martial art that was passed down only to a few successors.
It is a secret technique that has more killing power than ordinary martial arts, so much so that it is said that even non-awakened people can compete with intermediate players.
She recalled information that Chairman Zhengzhi was a practitioner of ancient Chinese martial arts.
Taehyun also uses several unique martial arts, including traditional Korean martial arts.
The movements of Association President Jeong Zhi and Taehyun as they exchanged attacks were strangely similar.
‘How does that guy know such things?’
Taehyun is one of the best in the world in terms of his abilities.
But to even use an ancient martial art from another country that takes dozens of years to learn properly?
As she had no way of knowing her past life, she could not help but be confused.
‘Now is not the time for me to be like this.’
Ricky Harlis once again focused on his body.
Although I use my magic power to prevent organ damage from occurring.
‘Recovery is slower than I thought.’
The cause was the morale behind Association President Zheng Zhi’s attack.
Even though she has a whopping 320 magical power, this is her limit.
As of now, the only skills that can be used are ‘Canceller’ and ‘Energy Drain’.
It seemed like it couldn’t have a direct impact on the battle.
‘If this happens… there’s nothing I can do.’
It was when she opened the status window and tried to check her magic power.
Association President Zhengzhi came rushing in, aiming for her neck.
and.
Kwaaaang!!
Taehyun blocked the kick in an instant and was thrown away.
“Are you okay?”
Taehyun asked indifferently, looking ahead.
If it had been just a little bit later, her head would have fallen off.
Her expression hardened as she belatedly realized the situation.
“I’m okay.”
“You’re more annoying than I thought. A magic stone located next to the heart. If you don’t destroy both at the same time, they will regenerate constantly.”
Taehyun said as he watched Association President Jeong Zhi getting up.
“Taehyun Kim. “What are the chances of us getting out of here after taking care of that guy?”
Taehyun glanced at her.
I knew that I would not be able to use combat skills that put a strain on my body.
He himself also cannot maintain the ‘blood rush’ for a long time.
“Venom of the gray disease. “It depends on what kind of power he has.”
“….”
“Let’s catch that guy first and talk about it.”
Taehyun got ready to run again.
This was because Chairman Zheng Zhi was quickly regenerating his broken body.
“Wait a moment. “I’m going to use ‘cancel’ now.”
As the situation is the situation.
Taehyun didn’t ask why.
“…Is this possible while on the move?”
“You just need to stay still until the marking is finished.”
Ricky Harlis reached out to Taehyun.
The skill was used.
Tiring.
[Skill Canceller (S) has been activated. Explore your destination. Seven skills were specified. Time taken: 29 hours 57 minutes 59 seconds.]
She can cancel the Awakened Oath in 1 hour.
But 30 hours.
‘What kind of skill did you use?’
“How is it?”
Taehyun asked vaguely, looking at her with a bad expression.
Chairman Jeong Zhi, who had recovered completely, was preparing for the next attack.
“It takes about 30 hours to unlock everything.”
“….”
It was somewhat within the expected range.
“What if I unlock just one?”
She is a woman who is considered one of the best magicians.
He judged that if he had more magic power than he had, it would be more, not less.
So what if she uses all her magical power to unlock one skill?
‘Of course the time will be much shorter.’
Ricky Harlis frowned.
After a while, she finished calculating and opened her mouth again.
“It’s two hours. Moreover, there is a risk that you will not be able to unlock other skills for at least a day after that.”
It was as expected.
“Well, it’s not the worst.”
“What skills do you need?”
One of the seven skills.
A skill that can reliably overwhelm any enemy while putting minimal strain on the body.
The answer was already decided.
“Then please.”
After asking her to release it.
Taehyun started a new battle with Association President Jeong Zhi.
‘It’s predation…’
She took out a bottle of magic potion from her arms.
‘I don’t know what skill it is… but I guess I’ll have to believe it.’
Feeling the magic power quickly building up, she started to release it.
* * *
Quang.
Chairman Jeong Zhi was once again thrown into the wall by Taehyun’s attack.
“Kuh…”
He moaned before he even got up.
Taehyun’s next attack flew.
Fifth form of ancient Chinese martial arts.
It was a penetrometer.
Even though I blocked it with both arms.
Quad Deuk!!
“…!!”
In an instant, I could see that my bones were broken.
Taehyun’s kick then hit his head.
Kwaang!!
It was such a shock that it felt like my mind was blown.
It was so powerful that if the monster’s blood had not been activated, he would have died once again.
Before I knew it, broken bones and damaged organs were recovering quickly.
It was due to the gray magic seething within my body.
‘Why? Why… Am I still being pushed behind…’
Clumsy. Clutter.
Chairman Zhengzhi shook his head vigorously as if he could not believe it.
I opened the status window.
Strength 240. Stamina 240. Speed 240. Horsepower 240.
All stats 240.
These are the stats I could only dream of.
Nevertheless, he is losing out little by little to Taehyun Kim in front of him.
‘That guy’s stats right now… are higher than mine…?’
Where else can you find a joke like this?
Moreover, the martial art Taehyun used was the same ancient Chinese martial art that he trained.
It is not a movement that can be imitated after seeing it once or twice.
If you imitate it clumsily, you will fall into magical reflux and be crippled for the rest of your life.
Nevertheless, Taehyun is using it without any hesitation, or rather, in a new form.
Talent? genius? National power level? A public contractor?
no. It’s not something you can understand like that.
“This… this… is ridiculous…!!”
Chairman Zheng Zhi shouted and rushed at him once again.
at the same time.
Kwaang!!!
Sixth form of ancient Chinese martial arts.
Shin Hwa-gyeong hit his chest.
Chairman Zheng Zhi’s body floated in the air like a kite with a broken string.
‘Why… even though I accepted the power of the monster… why… can’t I reach it…’
Parasite is an S+ grade monster.
I accepted that guy’s magical power and gave up being human.
Moulting.
no. He succeeded in evolving into a new species.
And yet, I am being pushed out by that arrogant brat.
Should I have injected more magic power?
Did I need a little more time to adjust to this power?
That’s not it either.
Several questions and answers were asked.
It didn’t take long to come up with an answer.
‘The magical power of stronger monsters is needed.’
The Guangzhou Research Institute was dungeonized.
The owner of a dungeon somewhere here.
Venom of gray disease.
‘I need that guy’s strength. But how…’
It was a time when Chairman Zhengz yearned for a being whose face he did not know.
Sara la rock.
[Do you want power?]
‘…!!’
An unexpected voice rang in my head.
A language I’ve never heard of.
Still, it’s understandable.
I instinctively realized that the voice in my head was that of a monster.
yet again.
A voice rang in my head.
[Do you want power?]
The thought did not last long.
‘I want… stronger than now… I want the power to kill Kim Tae-hyun…!!’
[Then accept me. Hand over that body to me.]
‘As long as I can become stronger… as much as I can!!’
There was no need to worry about the method.
With just a thought, the gray magic power scattered throughout the laboratory gathered together.
“…!!”
Taehyun, who was looking for a follow-up hit in the sudden situation, quickly backed away.
The magic power of Chairman Jeong Zhi, whose growth had stopped, was rising again.
And it’s steeper than you think.
“This is crazy.”
I was already having trouble with my ability to regenerate.
It was clear that if he got stronger here, it would be even harder to target him.
‘It’s an ominous force.’
Still, there is nothing that can be done right now.
I took out a magic potion and a fatigue potion from my belt, drank them, and watched the situation.
It only lasted 10 seconds that he was engulfed in magic coming from all directions.
The appearance revealed was completely different from before.
“I’m going to turn.”
It wasn’t like the gray spots that are characteristic of parasite infection.
The body seems to have grown twice as large.
Disgusting antennae growing on the head.
Two pairs of unidentified wings sprout from its back.
Above all, the saliva that flowed down through the opened mouth.
Chi profit.
The dungeon floor was being melted without notice.
“This is a bit too much.”
Taehyun took a step back as he looked at the association president, Jeongzhi, who had become a complete monster.
“Kim…Tae…Hyun….”
Chairman Jeong Zhi took a step forward, holding on to his fading consciousness.
Kwasik.
The floor was caved in to match its increased size.
“Your body… my… Let go….”
Kwasik.
As he took another step, his eyes began to flutter.
Wow.
Red eyes.
Inside, yellow eyes reminiscent of those of an insect were newly opened.
[I finally have a useful body.]
“…!!”
The language of monsters.
The monster who could no longer be called the president of the Jeongz Association opened his mouth as he looked at Taehyeon.
The monster started touching various parts of my body with its clawed hands.
Then, as if satisfied, he turned his gaze back to Taehyun.
[Didn’t I tell you? Come find me.]
“You… what are you…”
The monster tilted its head at Taehyun’s words.
1 second or 0.5 seconds.
What he was worried about was just a split second.
[Right. Are you asking my name?]
Kwasik.
The monster took one more step towards Taehyeon.
Suddenly, the guy started laughing, showing his ugly teeth.
[You guys call me Venom.]
“…!!”
[Venom of Gray Disease. Not a bad name.]
Focusing on this guy.
The magic power of the SS-class monster exploded.
