Help (4)
The down payment from the Kenus Guild was 1 billion won.
Sang-woo received 5,000 jewels worth 500 million won, which is half of them, immediately at the place of the contract.
Park Won-tae had a thoughtful look on his face as he watched Sang-woo and Kang Jun-mo leave the guild with their jewel bags.
‘It’s killing two birds with one stone because they disposed of the useless japtem. But…’
However, Sang-woo’s confident attitude in receiving the japtem didn’t seem like he suffered any loss.
That’s why Park Won-tae was constantly thinking about it.
“Jewels cannot be used on people. It’s clear he’s trying to use it on his alter ego.”
Jewel is shunned because of the restriction that it cannot be used on people and the side effect of turning it into a monster.
He had no choice but to judge that a hunter who could fully digest the japtem, which was used only as a material for manufacturing items, had appeared.
“Are you saying that there are no side effects… Keep an eye on Team 2 Leader Jeong Sang-woo?”
If his judgment is correct, a seismic shift will occur in the Hunter rankings.
* * *
Sang-woo used the jewel immediately after returning home.
The lowest level jewels he received were as follows.
───────────────
Jewel of Strength: 1200
Jewel of Agility: 1000
Jewel of Stamina: 900
Jewel of Endurance: 800
Jewel of Power: 450
Jewel of Regeneration: 650 Dog

007 100 jewels in a bag neatly arranged in plastic wrap.
Sang-woo first took out a bag of jewels of strength and used it on his alter ego.
When No. 1 ingested the jewels one by one, No. 1’s muscles bulged and became gross.
At the same time, Sang-woo’s muscles began to slightly swell.
Along with the feeling of expulsion, Sang-woo’s muscles formed fine scars that healed in an instant and grew larger in an instant. Each muscle fiber was twisted and strengthened.
It was getting stronger.
However, as the whole body grew like that, it started to hurt as if it had caught a cold.
‘Ugh, it hurts more than I thought.’
It’s happened once before, but this time it was exceptionally severe.
It was a time when he fed jewels while enduring the pain of muscle growth.
[Muscle strength has reached the human limit of 1.]
[The 1st limit has been exceeded.]
[The level of the clone enhancement skill has risen.]
The message that came to mind when the magic power reached 1 reappeared.
However, there was a change throughout the body, unlike the time when the horsepower passed smoothly without much difference.
Sang-woo’s muscles, which had grown slightly like bodybuilders, began to compress little by little.
Each muscle fiber is tough and densely compressed.
Sangwoo clenched his fists tightly.
Kwaaaak-
I felt confident that I could explode any object.
‘This is strength.’
Even though he only reached level 1, his tremendous power surged.
This is the power that an ordinary human being can exert to the limit.
‘But not enough.’
Sang-woo fed more jewels to his alter ego.
Muscular power, stamina, endurance, regenerative power, horse power.
more more little more.
At the same time, Sang-woo’s body also grew rapidly.
The internal organs were strengthened, and the faint abdominal muscles that Sang-woo already had became clearer.
As her chest muscles grew, her contours became clearer, and her back muscles gradually widened.
Her shoulders swelled up and her thighs became as hard as stone pillars.
As he grew taller, Sang-woo’s body became like a well-formed statue.
The whole body is developed.
In this way, Sangwoo was able to absorb all 5000 jewels over several days.
The reason it took so long was because I lost control of my alter ego after using more than 1000 jewels at once.

Even while feeding the jewels, he has been hunting and training clones.
Even if the minor stats obtained were subtracted, the total stats rose by 2.5.
A number that has changed dramatically.
‘I wish it would rise to 5.0, but the level of the clone enhancement skill is still low, so the reflection is only 50%…’
Still, most of the stats exceeded the average stat of an E-class hunter.
What was particularly noteworthy was regeneration.
Because of the suddenly strong power, the cases of cutting while shaving the beard became more frequent, but perhaps because of the increased regenerative power, such minor wounds healed completely within a day.
Instead, as the body changed drastically, the body constantly required nutrients to grow.
Sangwoo thought while eating protein supplements and various nutritional supplements.
‘Is it now a matter of time for an E-class hunter?’
He could have climbed right up if he went around the E-class dungeon a few times and passed the standards of the association.
Thinking about this and that, Sang-woo finished eating and taking a shower and began to wear clothes.
It was time to put on the t-shirt.
Fighting.
Is it because the body is bigger or because it is stronger?
The cotton fabric was lightly torn.
‘Oops… I’ll have to buy the clothes again.’
I needed time to adapt and test my rapidly changing body.
But there was no time.
Because today was the day to depart for Odin’s Tower.
* * *
After dozens of hours of flight, we arrived at Iceland.
There is a Valhalla portal to Odin’s Tower.
‘Really big.’
1 km radius.
The portal, which was much larger than the normal one, was located alone in a wide meadow.
Sang-woo was overwhelmed by the enormous size.
It’s like witnessing a mysterious natural phenomenon and being thrilled by its greatness.
“Let’s go.”
However, there is no time to delay.
Sang-woo swallowed his saliva and went over the portal along with Kang Jun-mo and the Kenus Guild.
When I went through the portal, what I saw was the universe.
It is literally a universe like a dark night sky with countless stars twinkling.
“Hup.”
That’s outer space.
Sang-woo had already been warned several times about this internal situation, but he held his breath in surprise.
“it’s okay. I don’t know, but I can breathe here as if there’s a barrier.”
Yu Si-woo, head of the Kanus Guild Attack Team 2, said.
As he calmed down his surprised mind, there was no difference in breathing from the Earth.
Then the surroundings came into view.
The floor looked crumbly, but it was hard white rock and was very flat.
It looked as if someone had processed it that way.
However, such a flat land stretched out all the way until it was cut off at the end.
It was like a lump of stone that had broken off and drifted in space.
A black tower stood on top of the cracked white earth.
“This is Odin’s Tower.”
Odin’s Tower.
We finally arrived at the worst dungeon where the strategy was unknown.
They reached the entrance on the first floor at the bottom of the Black Tower.
The entrance was covered with some black shimmering liquid.
“This is the entrance. As you can see…”
Yu Siu threw a stone at the entrance.
However, the stone was slightly submerged in the liquid-like surface of the entrance and soon bounced back.
“Ordinary objects cannot pass through. However, worn equipment or items are permitted.”
That’s why we couldn’t deliver relief goods.
However, if they sent a rescue team carrying relief supplies, the possibility that even the rescue team would be trapped in the dungeon was too high.
For that reason, an alter ego was necessary.
Now it was Sang-woo’s turn.
“After… I’ll go in.”
Sang-woo, who settled down, used the Familiar skill on the accompanying alter ego No. 1.
◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎ Sang-
woo’s vision is reversed and he sees Sang-woo through No. 1’s eyes.
No. 1’s body was wrapped in thick winter clothes, so it was hot.
He made No. 1 carry a backpack of relief supplies and sent it into Odin’s Tower.
When it touched the black liquid-like surface at the entrance, this time, No. 1 entered the Tower of Odin without resistance.
Familiar skills were maintained.
It was a known fact because other summoners who had already challenged Odin’s Tower had experimented with summoned beasts.
“Success!”
The cheers of the Kenus Guild came through Sangwoo’s ears.
Perhaps the fact that the relief goods were passed over seemed to be happy.
‘Let’s concentrate.’
Trying not to pay attention, Sang-woo focused on No. 1’s field of vision.
The interior of the first floor of Odin’s Tower was simple.
It is an endless ice field.
That was it.
Instead, looking back, I couldn’t see any entrances where they should have been.
‘This is why I can’t escape.’
Even the crazy cold there.
Even though I was wearing winter clothes, the cold that felt like my fingers, toes, ears, nose and extremities would fall off No. 1 hit me.
‘Ugh, No. 1, execute Plan A.’
Then No. 1 was quickly taking out various items from his backpack.
No. 1’s body was shaking as he searched through his backpack, as if it had nothing to do with No. 1’s willpower.
Sang-woo, who shared that feeling, was also very painful.
‘Ugh…’
Sang-woo watched as No. 1 created a portable bunker using items from Tron, a munitions company, and placed a potion bag, an antidote package, a heating tool, and a bundle of magic stones there.
Once the first plan to set up the relief goods at the entrance position was completed.
After that, No. 1 fired a signal flare to leave the fact of entry.
Piyuung – Boom!
Even though there is no sun, burning magic letters are engraved in the sky of the white polar ice area where there is light.
[Kinus Guild Survivors go to the starting position.]
Kindly, magical letters written in Korean lit up the sky.
No. 1, which raised its head and confirmed that the signal flares were working normally, moved and completed the installation of the information sign.
‘great job. Let’s start the search now.’
Now it’s time to find the survivors of the attack team 1.
It didn’t snow, but I couldn’t figure out how to find survivors in this place where there was white snow and ice everywhere.
For once, I decided to go ahead.
how much did it take
When the range of the 3rd level familiar skill exceeded 3 km, the feeling came that the familiar skill was about to be released.
A swaying and shaky vision.
‘This far.’
It was time to bring back No. 1 again.
No. 1’s legs began to freeze rapidly.
‘Uh uh uh? Kkeaak-.’
And No. 1’s body freezes in an instant.
Because he shared his senses with No. 1 through his Familiar skill, Sang-woo felt the terrible pain of No. 1’s whole body frozen.
And then, there was a grotesque shadow leaping beyond No. 1’s frozen and distorted vision.
Puck-
No. 1’s body shattered and fell.
◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎
“Aaaah!”
The sight returned to Sang-woo’s original body.
Suddenly, Sang-woo crouched down and shook his body like crazy, and the Kanus guild members who were waiting nearby approached him.
“weight… It’s cold…”
A terrible pain that froze the whole body.
Sang-woo fell into a panic for a while due to the pain he suffered until his alter ego was reverse summoned.
“Since we succeeded in sending the relief goods into Odin’s Tower, let’s get out of here.”
When Sang-woo lost consciousness, the Kanus Guild decided to withdraw.
Supporting Sang-woo, the party runs out in an orderly fashion toward the Valhalla portal.
That was after they left.
A change occurred in one of the polar ice areas on the first floor of Odin’s Tower, where no one seemed to be there.
A space that suddenly shimmers like a haze.
And a cute little face popped out of that space.
She looked around to see if she was scouting, then disappeared back into space.
A space that splits again after a while.
A group of people in winter clothes jumped out of it.
“I think the Frostguards have moved.”
“thank god. Ugh- it’s cold.”
“No matter how much your cold resistance goes up, you can’t adapt to this cold.”
“Let’s move quickly while we speak.”
“okay. Yuna, where are you going today?”
This space where the compass does not work.
I had no choice but to completely rely on the intuition of the leader.
“Um… where are you going?”
Yuna Park looked around and started looking around to see where she was going.
However, in the sky they looked at, there was no trace of the signal flare fired by No. 1 at all.
Park Yuna soon chose one place.
Unfortunately, the direction was opposite to the starting position where No. 1 was.
“For now, let’s go this way today.”
They started walking across the icy ground in silence.
They move one step, two steps.
Their winter clothes had the mark of the Kanus Guild clearly engraved on them.
They looked very tired after wandering around the first floor for a long time.
* * *
After delivering relief supplies to Odin’s Tower.
Sang-woo sent his alter ego into Odin’s Tower a few more times.
Perhaps because the alter egos were exposed to the cold on the first floor, their cold resistance abilities were open.
However, as expected, there was no great result, such as dramatically rescuing the first team.
In the end, after 10 days of building relief supplies once a day, the Kanus Guild decided to completely withdraw.
Afterwards, Sang-woo returned to Korea.
I had a meeting with Park Won-tae right away.
“The inside of the first floor of Odin’s Tower matches what is already known. It’s like being attacked by an unknown entity named ‘Ice Guardian’.”
“yes. If I had been stronger, I would have seen it, but I couldn’t see it at all.”
“Are there any traces of the 1st attack team?”
“Not at all.”
Sangwoo shook his head.
“Ha…”
Park Won-tae let out a sigh.
‘You said your brother was imprisoned. Regretful.’
I want to help, but I am still too weak.
Besides, shouldn’t he also save his sister?
Since the contract was fulfilled, Sang-woo did his best.
“This is all I know. Please contact me if you need my help again. The contract is still in effect. As before, we will receive half of the cost of 1 billion won for the 10 launches in cash and half in jewels. Please contact me as soon as the Jewel is ready.”
It was when Sang-woo was about to stand up as soon as the information exchange was over, wanting to hunt quickly and earn even a penny more for the elixir.
“Wait a minute, Mr. It’s not over yet.”
“yes?”
Park Won-tae spoke in a serious tone.
“Among the terms of the contract, there is still something to coach you for, right? Sang-woo, I will help you with your training.”
Park Won-tae caught.
He was accurately catching that the only hope to save the Kenus Guild’s younger sister was Jeong Sang-woo.
‘I’ll roll it hard.’
Moon sword, Park Won-tae.
He sincerely decided to raise Sang-woo.
