< Geumgang Buddha >
The plane returning to Korea.
Sang-woo, who was asleep, was groaning and breaking out in a cold sweat.
“Umm…”
System messages were passing through Sang-woo’s head while he was sleeping.
[Ganggolche skill has been created.]
[Ganggolche skill level has risen.]
[Ganggolche skill level has increased……]
[…….]
The newly created skill has changed. brought
Sang-woo’s body changed little by little with a clicking sound, and a little bit of moisture flowed through his skin.
With that change, Sang-woo’s pupils moved wildly inside his closed eyelids.
He was dreaming now.
Then, in
a flash, Sang-
woo opened his eyes.
“Heo-euk… heo-eok…”
-What’s going on?
Raven, who was sitting next to him and watching Sang-woo, asked if he was worried.
“Oh no. I think I had a nightmare for a while.”
Sang-woo recalled the incident in the dream he had just had.
A laboratory-like room full of machinery.
He was tied to something like an operating table, and there were people around him who covered their bodies with white plastic clothes.
Then, the strange drugs administered to the body and the machines that began to attack the body.
‘Is this a memory of sloth? It must have been taken by one of the Sword Saint gang at that time.’
Sang-woo didn’t pay much attention to Sloth’s kidnapping.
Because it’s an alter ego anyway, it’s enough to reverse summon it.
However, if you reverse summon it, you will not receive the ‘status increase effect per hour’, the ability of sloth, until you summon it again, so I just left it alone because it was a waste.
However, judging from the memories in the dream, the Trinity group seemed to be conducting some kind of experiment with sloths.
I had neglected it until
‘The Damned Guys…’, but if they were plotting something, it was a different story.
‘What if there is something like a curse that I don’t know about, so I can damage myself through my alter ego?’
Come to think of it, in this world, things that seemed realistically impossible became reality, so it was too early to be relieved even if it was an alter ego.
So Sang-woo decided.
It was to show the Trinity group a lesson.
‘Fuck you guys too.’
To blow a big one.
Sang-woo immediately gave an order to Sloth.
‘Execute the sloth mana explosion.’
I don’t know if the indolent sloth will fulfill the order, but I tried to order it.
After a while.
Sang-woo felt that the link with Sloth was broken.
At the same time, [HP increased by 0.001]
[Magic power increased by 0.001]
[The level of the Mana Explosion skill increased]
[…….]
The message announcing the increase in stats rang continuously.
‘Fortunately, was it successful?’
If you stay still, it is a sloth that accumulates energy in addition to the existing stats, so the power of Mana Explosion must be considerable.
Maybe that secret laboratory or something was pretty damaged.
Sang-woo decided to be satisfied with this level.
‘I should have protested to China with the filmed video.’
The fight between Sang-woo and the Geomseong gang was all recorded using the No. 1 filming equipment.
The video was held by Kang Jun-mo, who was monitoring remotely, but since they were masked assailants, it was impossible to determine if they were members of the Trinity group.
And with arms bent inward, it was clear that the Chinese government would cover the Trinity Group.
‘I’m angry, but now is the time to step back.’
The reason why Sang-woo and his party hurriedly return to Korea was because they did not know what harm they would do in China with the Trinity Group.
Sang-woo, who had dealt with the urgent slot gun, only then began to pay attention to his changed body.
‘By the way, have you noticed any changes in your body? I think I saw that I had a skill in my sleep, but that’s it.’
Sangwoo opened the skill window.
As expected, a new skill was created.
───────────────
[Adamantine Ingot (Lv. 31)/Permanent]: The body becomes as hard as adamantine.
-Physical resistance increases by 3 per level.
– Magic resistance increases by 1 per level.
– When attacked, the increase rate of the resistance value for that attribute is greatly increased.
– Indulges in pain.
– Resists body paralysis.
───────────────
‘Huh? Diamond steel indestructible?’
Sang-woo was surprised.
A term that has only been heard in martial arts.
That legendary skill was created.
‘Physical resistance rises by 3 per level? Crazy…’
Moreover, the level of Geumgang Buddha was already 31.
In other words, it means that physical resistance has already risen by 93.
Sang-woo immediately looked at his abilities.

─────────────── Sang-woo, who saw the ability, doubted his eyes.
‘Physical resistance is already 100?’
It reached the ability level of 100, which is said to be the S-class average for physical resistance.
Sangwoo quietly fumbled with his hands and arms.
‘It’s definitely changed.’
The skin was shiny and elastic, but it was hard.
‘If so…’
In Sang-woo’s mind, a scene from a movie in which the main character, whose body suddenly became hardened or regenerated, self-harms, came to mind.
‘I think I can too?’
Sang-woo, who was curious, decided to try it.
He immediately grabbed the ballpoint pen from his pocket.
An aura that blooms from a ballpoint pen.
Sangwoo swallowed his saliva.
At the same time, announcements were made on board.
[Detected mana usage. Please refrain from using mana for Awakeners on board.]
For safety during flight, the use of mana was strictly controlled.
‘Ike… let’s do it quickly.’
The cool Sang-woo quickly inserted a ballpoint pen into his left forearm and immediately canceled the aura.
cook!
just as expected.
Despite piercing the aura around it, the ballpoint pen couldn’t pierce Sang-woo’s arm.
The ballpoint pen just missed, leaving only a slight scar on Sang-woo’s arm.
‘Maybe it’s because of the Diamond Steel skill, it doesn’t hurt anymore.’
In addition
,
it started to regenerate quickly, probably because of the regenerative power of that small wound.
“Oh- that’s cool.”
When Sang-woo is admiring him.
Raven, who was watching him from the side, asked curiously.
– Disciple, why are you hurting yourself all of a sudden?
“Ah, I suddenly had the Diamond Steel Bulde skill. So I experimented.”
-Geumgangbuldeok?
Raven tilted her head.
“yes. It is a skill that hardens the entire body. So I poked my arm with an aura to test it out, and look. Are there any traces?”
-Ohh. That’s a very nice ability.
“yes. I already have 100 physical resistance. Do you think you will be immune to any kind of attack now?”
Raven tilted his head when he heard that his physical resistance had reached 100.
-How high is 100 ability level?
He wasn’t a system user, so he didn’t know much about stats and skills.
“Hmm, I heard that the average ability of S-class hunters is 100.”
– The average could be higher than that. “Yes? But, sir. That’s not the point. It is important that I am very close to S-class.”
As long as there is no change, Sang-woo will become an S-class hunter even if he maintains his current state.
Just looking at the defense value, it will overwhelm most hunters in the tank position.
‘I can beat all the normal tanks even if I just use my alter egos to beat them.’
Looking at that confident figure, Raven responded with a serious expression.
– That’s great. But you shouldn’t settle there. I have to work hard until I can reach 1000, 10000, not 100.
“Hmm… Master is right. You have to try.”
Sang-woo was very satisfied with the fact that he had reached 100 stats for the first time.
However, while talking with Raven, I felt my thoughts change.
‘that’s right. In fact, 100 stats aren’t even the end, so there’s no need to be satisfied here.’
Raven’s words continued.
-Stormbringer Swordsmanship, Geumgangbulde and even clone abilities. If you have that many abilities, it’s worth the challenge. So have confidence and go ahead.
“all right.”
Sangwoo smiled at Raven.
‘Ability level thousand? only work? Why don’t you take a picture of that.’
It didn’t seem like it would be possible with the current momentum of being with an alter ego.
Of course, it didn’t seem like he could surpass his master Raven’s strength simply with his high abilities.
* * *
Arriving in Korea, Sang-woo and his party headed straight to Gangnam.
It was to finalize the contract to receive 500 billion won from the Kenus Guild.
When I arrived at the guild office and went to the meeting room, Park Won-tae and the Kenus Guild staff were sitting.
Park Won-tae stood up and greeted Sang-woo and shook his hand.
“Congratulations on the success of the A-rank raid. Mr. Sang Woo.”
“Haha thank you.”
“But this one…?”
Park Won-tae looked at Raven and asked.
In fact, he already knew who Raven was.
Because the rumor that Sword Seeker was in Korea and was hanging out with Jeong Sang-woo was famous.
Sang-woo introduced with a smile.
“Ah, this is my master.”
“Are you Master?”
However, I couldn’t help but be surprised to hear that Sword Seeker was a master.
Because I didn’t know the exact relationship between Sang-woo and Sword Seeker.
How many people became disciples of S-class hunters?
‘How dare you take Sword Seeker as your teacher…’
Park Won-tae looked at Sang-woo anew and greeted Raven.
“hello. I am Park Won-tae, the leader of the Kenus Guild. Excuse me, but what is your name…?”
-People call me Sword Seeker.
Raven responded with his characteristic bluntness.
But the impact was great.
“Sword Seeker? That S-class?”
“Hey, great.”
The people gathered in the conference room were buzzing. That’s because the name S-class Hunter was great.
“This is an S-class Hunter. Nice to meet you.”
– Nice to meet you. But when will the work end?
Sword Seeker seemed frustrated by dragging it out.
Seeing that, Park Won-tae laughed and got to the point.
“Haha, the greeting took too long. You should check it out right away. Shall we start with the notary?”
They read the video brought by Sang-woo and his party in front of a notary public.
A notary public was a person in charge of proving a contract publicly.
He was surprised to see the video.
“Sang-woo is currently ranked first in Class C?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But to really catch the A-rank alone… It’s amazing.”
In fact, not all A-class hunters had uniform strength.
Some are so strong that they slice A-rank monsters by themselves, and some hunters manage to catch them with the help of those around them.
The reason for such a difference is that the ranking of hunters is handled by humans.
Therefore, in addition to skill, personality, sincerity, and loyalty to the country were considered, so there were enough weak people among A-class.
However, the notary felt that Sang-woo was on a different level from those A-class people.
Because in the video, Sang-woo hacked the bugbear to pieces in an instant.
After confirming the content of all the videos, the notary public started checking once more.
“I checked the video. Can we see the technique you used to blow off the bugbear’s head?”
“yes.”
Sang-woo pulled out the aura blade.
Seeing this, the Kenus staff members murmured.
“It’s an aura blade.”
“You say that is so easy to use?”
“Wow… that’s great.”
And Park Won-tae was the same.
‘Already come to the blade?’
He too was surprised.
Aura Blade was a skill that even Park Won-tae himself had to do his best.
‘How strong did he become in that short period of time?’
Hunter, who stayed in the F rank last year, overtook him in less than a year.
Park Won-tae felt a little discouraged.
Regardless of Park Won-tae’s mind, the notary was finished.
After Sang-woo and Park Won-tae finished signing the notary certificate, the notary public opened his mouth.
“Verification complete. With this, C-class hunter Jeong Sang-woo notarizes that the A-class monster bugbear raid was successful. Thank you for your effort.”
It was the moment when the long, long 500 billion won contract was concluded.
Park Won-tae and Sang-woo shook hands again.
“This is how we ripped off 500 billion won. Please use it well.”
“Haha, I’ll write well.”
The two hands were tightly interlocked.
Click click –
people around me captured it on camera.
Sangwoo smiled brightly at the camera.
Because it was the end point of a long, long bet that lasted half a year.
‘I finally get 500 billion won.’
Of course, it is a 500 billion won contract, but the actual amount will not be that large.
There is also a tax problem. ‘He said he needed to look into it again so that it wouldn’t be treated as a gift tax.’
Although there is a benefit in terms of taxation in the Hunter period, it would be better to reduce it if it can be reduced.
I decided to leave the complex tax issues to Kang Jun-mo.
It was when Sang-woo and his party were about to leave the meeting room after all the contract confirmation and implementation procedures were completed.
Park Won-tae grabbed him as he got up.
“Wait a minute, Mr. It’s not over yet.”
“yes?”
Stupid Sang-woo.
Park Won-tae laughed and said.
“Didn’t you give your opinion about the subspace case at that time?”
“Oh, it was. At that time, he asked Heritage.”
“yes. I inquired and the answer came.”
“really? What did you come from?”
Sang-woo asked curiously.
Park Won-tae spoke seriously.
“It is said that it is possible to produce a sub-space skill as a disposable scroll…”
