< Breaking the limits (2) >
Profit-
The ceiling burned black, and two holes were opened, and the light faded soon after.
The beam of light was the aftermath of the mana that had soared through Sang-woo’s eyes and shot up to his head.
And… in the process, his eyeball could not overcome the pressure and exploded.
Pak!
Sang-woo’s face contorts from the pain of having his eyeballs burst.
But is it because of that?
The mana that filled up to the tip of his neck opened the door that was blocking Sang-woo’s head at once and rushed into his brain like a tide.
bang!
At the same time, Sang-woo felt cool with the exploding feeling of something breaking in his head.
And the mana that is slowly accumulating in that narrow head.
That mana circulated in his brain and removed the accumulated waste without knowing it.
Pak! Pak! Pak! Pak…!
Sang-woo feels cool every time a small blockage is cleared.
Not only that, Mana stimulated Sang-woo’s entire brain as if he were alive.
How long had it been since Mana stimulated his brain like that?
Sang-woo’s body began to change whether it had finally reached a critical point or a trigger had been triggered.
The feeling that each cell is awakening.
No, every single cell of Sang-woo himself, which he had never been aware of, came into his consciousness.
‘This is my body…!’
who did that
The human body is like a microcosm.
Sang-woo also felt the countless cells in his body and felt as if he were looking at a huge universe.
But the surprise and joy were only momentary.
Suddenly, his universe was shattered.
Like a supernova emitting brilliant light right before extinction, each cell began to burn.
‘Keuheuk…’
His drive to see his body in detail with the feeling of burning his whole body was broken.
But the change did not stop.
With the feeling of being burned, rapidly aging and extinct cells are reborn as new cells, just like a phoenix.
To cells that are stronger, more durable, and full of vitality.
One changes, two changes, four changes, eight changes…
The exponential change at the extremities of his body swept his entire body in an instant.
And along with that change, Sang-woo’s body seen from the outside was also facing a dramatic change.
Sang-woo’s body had a strange luster as he obtained the body of a Geumgang Buddha.
The body, which looked like a water glow and was very resilient, returned to normal skin, just like the skin before obtaining the diamond.
White and smooth skin.
However, its firmness and firmness remained the same.
No, even more so than when it was in Geumgangbulgoe.
Moreover, the changes were not limited to the skin.
The skeleton that makes up his entire body has also changed.
Ddu-duk-dududuk- Sang
-woo’s body, which had already been trained to the limit through tremendous hard training.
But was there room for improvement in his body?
The bones that had been strengthened through the Ganggolche skill and the Diamond Buddha skill began to compress with tremendous strength.
The carbon particles that make up the bones were compressed and bonded together, becoming hard with tremendous strength like diamonds and gradually becoming transparent.
Because of this, the visible nails were so transparent that it looked like gelatin had been applied.
Of course, his bones were in a strange condition, not even diamond, but elastic.
It feels like a high-strength new material.
Along with such changes, Sang-woo, who was about 185 cm tall, grew a little taller.
Although it was compressed, it grew about 3 to 4 cm because of the bones that grew in the process.
Since then, the muscle fibers inside his body have become much tougher, internal organs such as the heart, lungs and liver have also been reconstructed, and the hair on his body has also fallen out in an instant, and his eyebrows and hair have grown in an instant.
It’s been a few hours since the metamorphosis of the body started.
The change has finally come to an end.
Flash- Sang-
woo, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.
Eye light that is expressed along with him.
The eyeballs that burst during the body change process were also completely regenerated.
Rather, from those bright, jewel-like eyes, it made me feel that his eyes were also different from before.
His eyes seemed like they were about to be sucked in deeply.
He was dazed for a moment, then blinked his eyes.
“Is it over…?”
Due to his height, Sang-woo raised his body by teasing his long arms, which gave off a much more model force than before.
Then he looked around his body.
‘It has lost its luster.’
Her own skin that always had a strange luster.
It didn’t feel like that anymore.
It was just his body that looked like a normal person.
Of course, most people don’t have flawless skin like that.
‘I need to wash up first.’
But he stopped examining the body.
Something that smelled too much from the body.
‘It seems that the waste products have escaped during the body change process.’
It was Sang-woo who guessed his condition because he had already heard about the body change to some extent through his master.
In addition to feeling refreshed, he immediately used the skill because of the awkwardness he felt from the outside.
[Water]
[Aqua Ruler]
Summons a mass of water in the air and covers it all over his body with the Aqua Ruler skill.
The water that covered his body absorbed only the wastes cleanly and then fell off.
‘To the bathroom.’
Afterwards, Sang-woo blew off the water, including the waste, and sent it to the bathroom, then took a shower (?).
I looked at the change again with a refreshed mind.
A body that doesn’t look much different from the outside.
But when I clenched my fists, I felt an incomparable strength.
‘Have you become stronger? I’ll have to take a closer look. Status window.’

───────────────
‘Finally! It’s finally over 100. Whoop whoop. Wow… But what’s your strength? It’s already 130? Ah, the physical resistance is higher.’
Sang-woo couldn’t help but admire the status window.
It was because the stats that had been stagnant in the meantime rose relentlessly as if something that had been blocked had exploded.
Sang-woo was happy to see his improved abilities.
‘Hehehe, now it’s possible to work on stats again.’
in another sense.
I was happy to be able to earn ability points by rolling my alter egos in earnest.
In fact, Sangwoo hadn’t been able to improve his abilities well before because of the limit of 100.
Of course, he would have been able to continue to grow without stagnation if he had mastered skills such as the ‘Strength’ skill that increases the limit growth of his strength or the ‘Mental Uplift’ skill that overcomes the limit of his mental strength.
‘But Master said it’s not good to rely too much on skills. It’s artificial.’
And about that part, Sang-woo also agreed.
Looking at the information obtained through information companies, most of the S-class hunters with stats over 100 were relying on skill.
Through the ‘body change’ Sang-woo went through, there were few Awakeners who went beyond their limits.
‘So I didn’t know that I had to spend 300 mana with no information.’
Sang-woo succeeded in changing his body by spending 300 mana out of 1000 mana.
The amount of mana felt inside the changed body felt somewhat small because it took a huge amount of 1/3 of the total mana.
‘Let’s not be sorry. I just need to build it up again.’
Of course, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t sad, but Sang-woo decided not to care too much.
After all, he had numerous alter egos, and he just had to roll them to hunt or train the Storm Core Mana Engine to accumulate mana.
‘Even if I stay still, the ability points accumulated through sloth are quite good.’
He continued to gain stats not only from Sloth, but also from other special clones, so given time, he could have more mana than before, beyond making up for lost mana.
so there was room for it.
‘But don’t be too relaxed. There’s a lot to do.’
An Illuminati master with the symbol of greed.
If that were the case, he would definitely be targeting himself who had the 4 seven deadly sins.
That’s why it’s a situation that needs to be prepared.
‘I need to lower my dependence on the system… Ehh.’
However, this part was not immediately resolved.
You just need to understand the principle of the skill and practice implementing the skill directly without borrowing a system.
‘In that respect, the most important thing to me is the clone technique…’
That skill that even the Archmage Aria stuck out her tongue.
Sang-woo’s unique skill that creates an alter ego externally by spinning his entire body in a moment.
I had to implement the clone technique without the help of the system.
This is Sang-woo’s top priority.
‘Or maybe there’s another way. I wonder if that oracle has some method.’
Sang-woo wanted to contact Ashley again.
However, I do not know her contact information and there is no way to contact her.
I had just asked an information company to find out how to get out of the system.
‘If you put in a request, if there is a way, you’ll know someday. Until then, I’ll have to focus on using clone techniques on my own. And I have to raise my stats and prepare for the Master.’
An ignorant human whose mental strength cannot be measured.
What if that guy is greedy?
It was clear that he was aiming for Sang-woo.
Besides, even a psychic attack would be very troublesome.
‘I have an alter ego, but I can’t be careless.’
Even if it was an alter ego that was almost immune to mental attacks, the main body itself could not be free from the master’s attacks.
That’s why Sangwoo decided to do his best to become stronger.
* * *
Meanwhile at that time.
There was a great uproar in China.
The site of the Tiananmen Square protests.
Tens of thousands of people had gathered.
“The swordsman retreat!”
“The main culprit of the Beijing Massacre! What is public concern! Catch the criminal!”
“Is the government and Trinity colluding! Uncover the corruption!”
Because of the massacre that took place in Beijing not long ago.
Several skyscrapers collapsed, and only thousands of casualties were expected in the process.
And this was a single swordsman’s act.
To Sword Saint, who was watching the protest on the news, a man who looked older than him politely said.
“…Chairman, public opinion is serious.”
-Hmm…
“Even the public security plan we bought now seems to be difficult to ignore this case.”
-…Right.
Swordsman fell into trouble with a calm complexion.
‘How did this happen…’
Would it have been different if he had lived quietly on the outskirts of the city rather than the center of the city?
Or, would it have been different if he hadn’t undergone arm remodeling surgery through Tronsa?
‘If I hadn’t stuck with the Sword Seeker guy in the first place…’
Then there wouldn’t have been a case where his arm would have been cut off, and what he had done now wouldn’t have happened.
‘Arthur. If you think like that, there is no bottom and no end. It’s all my karma.’
He blamed himself for losing his mind and running amok.
Yes.
The swordsman’s right arm had been cut off by Raven the other day.
For a swordsman, the hand that wields the sword is no different from life.
But since he was cut off, his despondency must have been great.
‘I couldn’t even restore it because it was ground to that guy’s sword skill.’
If the severed right arm had been intact, it could have been rehabilitated somehow through the heal skill, but since the right arm had completely disappeared, there was no such hope.
In the end, the despairing swordsman.
Then, Tronsa approached him.
“I will make you an arm.”
A mechanically hard talking broker.
However, the swordsman was pleased.
“Really?”
“yes. It will be much stronger than the previous arm. Tron’s genetic engineering technology makes it possible to recreate the body through stem cells.”
Afterwards, leaving a promise of close cooperation and huge research funding support to Tron through a broker, Geomseong underwent right arm reconstruction surgery.
And in the process, the DEP procedure occurred without his knowledge.
And the DEP technology developed by Tronsa was all related to the parasite of this creature Cranid that flew from outer space.
In the end, the Sword Saint was subordinated to the great chaos system that Elisa had caused by the parasite dormant in his head, and after that, he became a maniacal murderer.
He was so mad that he smashed down the headquarters of the Trinity Group, where he always stayed, and brutally slaughtered his men.
He then escaped the collapsed building and killed all the others and the special police force that came to subdue him.
‘I wish I hadn’t remembered…’
He regretted what he had done.
But he remembered everything he had done.
The image of himself killing people like a machine, as if he had lost all his emotions.
No matter how ruthless and cold-hearted he was, the sight of him killing his subordinates without hesitation made him feel disgusted.
So, his mental state is very shaken.
“Chairman, how about escaping abroad for a while? The voices of criticism within China and within the Trinity Group are so high right now that it would be dangerous to stay there.”
And his disciple who still believes that he is the president and follows him.
Except for some of them, most of the Trinity group members were already showing a movement to push out the swordsman who was the president and appoint a new president.
The swordsman, who was silent for a moment, nodded.
“…don’t do that.”
“Yes, Chairman. I’ll get the plane ready. I will have to take a closer look at whether to solve the domestic situation and the group’s internal problems while taking care of my body and mind abroad for a while.”
Afterwards, the swordsman’s disciple contacted several places, and after a while, he led the swordsman outside.
In the secret house where they were, a black bulletproof airship landed before they knew it.
It was a small airship capable of vertical take-off and landing developed by Tron and provided to them.
“Chairman, please ride.”
“Okay.”
Where is the spirit of the past, the swordsman who speaks quietly.
With a hard face, he looked at the safe house where he had been confined for a while.
It’s a pretty nice villa, but no one is looking for it.
‘…will definitely come back.’
Still, thinking that he would not see this place, which is the mainland of China, for a while, the swordsman, who was even regretful, looked around the place carefully before boarding the airship.
The swordsman, his pupils, and several of his attendants boarded the seats that were generously prepared inside.
It was a miserable escape for the chairman of the Trinity Group, which had tens of thousands of people.
‘…This is just a step back for a step forward. If you persevere, an opportunity will come someday.’
But then he didn’t know.
that this is the last
Weiyiing –
The plane finally took off.
Blue flames spewed from the output devices attached to the wings and began to rise vertically.
The communication between the pilots operating the airship also became faster.
“Current altitude 600m.”
“The stealth function is on.”
“Attempting to evade the control tower radar.”
It is a situation that should never be caught because it is an illegal departure.
The main driver and co-pilot busily began manipulating the plane’s board.
And as the altitude increased, the direction of the output device of the airship, which had risen vertically, began to move forward.
and that moment.
bang!
Suddenly the airship exploded.
