Episode 525
It didn’t take long to receive a reply to the meeting.
There were three days left until the meeting to be held in New Korea.
“America and China. “They said everyone would participate.”
Ji Jin-hee, who returned to her position as president of the association after recovering, said this.
“The reply is later than expected.”
“The world has become much more dangerous than Taehyun knew. “There must have been secret agents and secret drugs going back and forth.”
It’s a situation that Night Walker can’t understand, so it’s not a situation that should be taken lightly.
“Well, if I didn’t do something like that, it would have been rather disappointing. “Are you feeling okay?”
“Just see for yourself and judge for yourself.”
Ji Jin-hee chuckled and released her magic power.
Kiiiii-.
Kiiiiing-.
The sound of two magic stones rotating could be clearly heard in my ears.
‘Hoo…’
Taehyun gave a small exclamation and opened his red eyes.
Blood-red magic and brown magic.
The power of ‘absorption’ and ‘strengthening’.
The magic stone made from the magic power of the Vampire Lord and the Demon Beast King was spinning furiously.
‘Surprisingly, it suited the association president’s temperament well.’
I made two magic stones that can be used in an emergency.
Because Ji Ji-hee’s condition was so serious, it was thought that it would be difficult for her to survive on her own with just one magic stone.
The magic gemstone of the vampire tribe draws magical power for recovery, and the magic gemstone of the demonic beast tribe takes the role of the heart.
It was revealed that Ji Jin-hee, who was practically dead, not only fully recovered, but also overcame another wall.
‘It’s truly amazing. No matter how much the world changes, its influence does not diminish at all.’
As I watched Taehyun examining the magic stone, I felt ashamed and proud at the same time.
‘With this level of affinity… it should be enough to serve as Orgal’s spare.’
Right now, two magic stones coexist, but the brown magic stone is slightly more dominant.
It seemed that the moment Ji Ji-hee’s body fully recovered, the brown magic power would swallow up the blood-red magic power.
I thought that the nature of the power to strengthen the body to fight was truly suitable for Ji Jin-hee.
‘It’s a new possibility.’
In the past, only Yoo Ah-young was able to form magic stones in the body, but other players have also made significant progress.
Just as Ji Jin-hee did not have a negative reaction to Orgal’s magic, other players also might have a matching archduke.
“Recovery is going smoothly.”
“Thanks to you, my old life has been extended.”
Oh Sun-Do-Sun.
It is time to talk about how to use the power of strengthening.
“Guild leader Seo Sang-ik came to visit.”
“Please take us inside.”
Seo Sang-ik, who was visiting, looked surprised when he saw Ji Jin-hee’s condition.
“I heard you recovered completely from that injury… It was true.”
“haha. “It’s thanks to Taehyun here.”
“It’s because the president of the association has a strong body.”
Seo Sang-ik smiled happily as he saw Ji Jin-hee and Tae-hyeon exchanging well-wishes.
This is because it looks like the relationship between a grandfather and his grandson is perfect.
“It’s been a while since Kim Tae-hyun came back… I’m glad that New Korea seems to have regained its former composure.”
“Sit down. “I was already waiting for your visit.”
“Let’s get straight to the point.”
Seo Sang-ik told us about the results of research on air power and Auror two-dimensional gates that were carried out while Ji Jin-hee was unconscious.
“In that short period of time… did the research progress that far?”
Ji Jin-hee was beyond surprised and could not hide her embarrassment.
The research results that Seo Sang-ik talks about are things he had been waiting for for five years but had not heard about.
“The condition of the test subjects ‘caught’ by player Kim Tae-hyun was effective.”
Alchemist’s technological prowess originally did not lag behind that of the United States and China.
Nevertheless, the reason it was not producing results was because there was a lack of samples for higher-level research.
All of those shortcomings were resolved as soon as Taehyun appeared.
Dokgo-jin, the pinnacle master of Sapa Moorim.
Mason, the 8-star wizard of the Empire.
Dang Jeong-gi, the pinnacle of the martial arts sect, and Mo Yong-hak, who maintains his intact form even though he is a corpse.
It was strange that a man of Seo Sang-ik’s caliber could not achieve such results as an experiment.
“Well, the ‘guys’ must have been dying to achieve results in such a short period of time.”
“joy. After all, they are the ones who tried to take his life first. “There is no need to show respect for life now.”
Ji Jin-hee sneered.
If they had lost, it would have been the players of New Korea who would have been reduced to experiments.
If Moorim and the Empire found out, they would have been shocked, but Ji Jin-hee did not feel the slightest pity or guilt towards them.
‘The president of the association has also become much stronger.’
Even in a world where demons and demons were rampant, Ji Jin-hee’s image of crying out for humanity and righteousness is still vivid.
Over the past five years, he has become a man who can make more decisive decisions.
If he had not changed, New Korea would not have been able to endure this far.
The sight was joyful yet bitter.
“What happened to what I asked for?”
I asked Seo Sang-ik about the things he specifically mentioned.
“You’re talking about creating an environment for planting new trees, right? It was as you said. Aura and Aura. I confirmed that an unknown waveform is formed every time these collide with magic power. The noticeable change was when magical energy of the highest level, with an Aura SSS grade of 8 or higher, was inputted at the same time.”
“That magic wave. “Can this apply to the general public as well?”
“So far, there have been no negative reactions from players to the human body… but it will take quite some time to apply it to everyone.”
“For now, that’s okay. But I think it would be better to apply it to players quickly.”
“Why is that?”
“When the Divine Water is opened, the Abyss will not be the only thing connected.”
Maybe. Taehyun added.
“…?”
“What… do you mean?”
“sorry. I think it would be difficult to tell you everything at this point. “It’s a fairly complicated issue…”
I didn’t want to tell them about the King of the Underworld.
Sometimes witchcraft works.
‘It’s not yet a scale they can handle.’
Just like the turf war.
The tribal war should be entirely Taehyun’s responsibility.
Minimum supply.
If it weren’t to that extent, it would only be a hindrance in future battles.
Fortunately, Ji Jin-hee and Seo Sang-ik did not ask for details.
This is because I have absolute trust in Taehyun.
“Even if the number of places connected to other worlds such as the Murim and the Empire increases. In the end, the place where Shinsu blossomed will become the center. “At that time, the number of people targeting New Korea will increase, so you will need to prepare well.”
“Taehyun… are you not able to stay long this time too?”
“sorry.”
“I heard about it roughly from Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young.”
“….”
“I am satisfied because I saw it at least once before I die… I just want to ask you one thing. “What is the next level after the SSS level?”
It was an innocent question as a military officer.
“Is it… a being called the Archduke?”
“There is a great gulf between the Archduke and the mortals.”
The flowering of the divine tree they are preparing will be the future and a new beginning for humanity.
After SSS level, it’s just that.
“It’s just the first step.”
“After that. “What happens to Taehyun?”
Taehyun also laughed at that question.
What about the future after that?
Because it was a possibility that even he could not have dared to predict.
* * *
“Huh… I never thought they would allow the mobile gate first…”
A large mobile gate connected to the headquarters of the New Korea Players Association.
The Chairman of the Mao Association, who had completely passed over there, muttered as if it was absurd.
Zhuge Hyeon, who was next to him, opened his mouth with a firm voice.
“President of the Association. “I want you to remind yourself once again why you came here.”
“Don’t worry, Commander. To that end, didn’t we mobilize all the best power of the great nation?”
“….”
Zhuge Hyeon was no longer able to relax like before.
Mo Yong-hak, Tang Jeong-gi, and Namgung So-hwi.
Sega and Soga owners suffered.
‘If things continue like this, we cannot avoid censure.’
The family’s prestige will fall to the ground, and the head of the family will not be able to avoid the censure of other generations of family heads.
‘How on earth did this happen…’
Zhuge Hyeon did not understand the situation that suddenly began to turn around.
Clearly, not long ago, the new Korea was a light in the wind.
It was only a moderate move to keep the United States and its empire in check, and it would not have been surprising if the association’s headquarters were destroyed if the small households decided to do so without China’s help.
‘First, we need to find out the whereabouts of the Soga owners. Otherwise, at least a second gate connected to the martial arts world must be opened to protect the family.’
Zhuge Hyeon looked at the troops who came with him with a stern expression.
New Korea said it wouldn’t matter if they brought in all of the martial arts power, but they weren’t stupid enough to fall for an obvious trap.
Currently, Zhuge Xuan was the only martial artist included in the delegation, and depending on the situation, he planned to summon the remaining Soji lords who were on standby.
The place they entered, guided by the New Korea player, was a huge hall.
The place has collapsed and blood stains remain.
At a glance, it was clear that a huge battle had taken place here.
The American envoy who arrived first caught my eye.
‘Association President Kevin Lee.’
He was accompanied by five SSS level players and unknown imperialists.
The combined number of envoys from China and the United States is 200.
Unlike New Korea’s statement that the number of people did not matter, the United States and China agreed in advance.
Players from the US and China.
The warriors of the empire and martial arts assessed each other’s power.
If the current forces clashed all at once, the fight would escalate into war.
“This is what happened.”
Kevin Lee muttered as he looked around the hall, where the tense atmosphere had subsided.
at that time.
“You’ve been waiting a long time.”
200 people’s eyes turned to one place at the familiar voice.
Ji Jin-hee was on a terrace that was falling apart not far away.
What surprised me wasn’t his sudden appearance.
‘There are no injuries…?’
‘In fact, it seems like I’ve become stronger than before… is it an illusion?’
Not only in China but also in the United States, people were puzzled by the strong energy emanating from Ji Jin-hee’s body.
Behind him, New Korea players appeared one after another.
‘What…’
‘What is this…’
Zhuge Hyun and Kevin Lee frowned at the same time.
Each one is giving off a stronger energy than they had realized.
finally.
“oh. “Are there a lot of bugs?”
“…!!”
“…!!”
I swallowed a sigh of relief as I saw Yoo Ah-young appear.
Her eyes were on the Chinese envoy. Among them, he turned to Zhuge Hyeon.
“Jegalhyeon. See you again?”
“See you again. “Guild leader Yoo Ah-young.”
Zhuge Hyeon said with a smile on his face.
Tiring.
[Skill Amazoness’ Haki (SSS) has been activated. [Specify the target.]
Green magical energy soared from Yoo Ah-young’s body.
At the same time, Zhuge Xuan waved the fan he was holding.
pop!!
“….”
Zhuge Xuan’s face froze as his fan shattered into pieces.
“What are you doing!!”
Chairman Mao protested.
“Oh, was the greeting too friendly? “Maybe it’s because he’s an old guy, so he’s tough~.”
He just smiled and mocked the protesting Chinese envoy.
“Enough with the joke!! Ji Jin-hee, president of the association. The attitude in greeting the envoy was poor!! “What are you believing in and doing this?!!”
Although the skills of the top ranked players in New Korea are extraordinary, the fact that they suffer devastating blows when they collide does not change.
Chairman Mao shouted under pressure.
“The reason we invited representatives of the two countries and other worlds here today is to convey our intention to make an important choice that has been postponed until now.”
Ji Jin-hee responded, quietly hearing the other person’s protest.
“Are you talking about surveying rights?!!”
Chairman Mao raised his voice.
“exactly. “That’s not the answer to that.”
“her. If that’s the case, then why bother going to a place like this…”
“No. “This is the right place for that answer.”
Ji Jin-hee unleashed brown magic.
“Fight and the last ones standing will get that right.”
The area became noisy.
There was a lot of swearing.
Protests poured in.
Nevertheless.
“Strong self-respect. Isn’t that the value you like?”
Starting with Ji Jin-hee.
The players of New Korea have unleashed their magical power.
