Part 2 Episode 15
In the present era, players’ power is included as an indicator of military power.
Although the rules prohibit murder except for demons, no country is soft enough to consider such a thing in a wartime situation.
If nuclear deterrence was symbolic for great powers in the past, the important thing now is who had more S-class players.
New Korea, Japan and China, called the Three Dragons of Asia.
Unlike China, which issues its own licenses, New Korea and Japan associations have consistently produced S-level players according to international standards.
Japan has two.
China has four national power levels.
but.
The new Korea did not yet have a single national power level.
* * *
Ji Jin-hee, President of the Players Association.
Night Walker Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young.
The status of the two men was not limited to the new Korea.
Ji Jin-hee was a legend who was called a warrior of reversal and was dispatched to numerous countries, and Yoo Ah-young was a member of the minority who spread rumors of affairs with famous people but was active in targeting lighthouses.
With the added support of other large guilds, there was still hope that a national power player could be born in New Korea within 10 years.
And now.
“It’s endless.”
Ji Jin-hee muttered, crushing the head of the maw that was trying to bite her hand.
I exhaled deeply and quickly calmed my breathing.
How many jaws have already been subdued?
Nevertheless, the dark red magic leaking from Taehyun’s body still showed no signs of abating.
“If I keep doing this, I’ll be the first to get hurt.”
Yoo Ah-young took out a potion from her belt and drank it while saying this.
Pow. pop.
The maws closing in around her exploded.
This is because, contrary to his relaxed appearance, he is not relaxed.
“Is the S rank confirmed at this level?”
Yoo Ah-young approached and handed Ji Jin-hee two bottles of potion.
“okay. “It was a decision that had already been made when Old Man Bang’s life was threatened.”
Ji Jin-hee said that while looking at Tae-hyun, who was standing still.
Judging from the fact that both eyes are closed, it is clear that he is unconscious.
‘And yet it is this level of hideousness…’
Ji Jin-hee looked around Bang Chae-soo’s half-destroyed laboratory.
Even though it was suppressed by two S-rank players, it was this much.
‘If a child with this much potential becomes an enemy…’
Gulp.
I swallow dry saliva without realizing it.
It was because he remembered the one child he had missed in the past.
Jihong Min.
An S-class mine that has earned the nickname Black Hole in the international community.
He was a child who could have become the first national power player in New Korea.
It seemed that he was not the only one who thought of Min Ji-hong when looking at Tae-hyeon.
“I heard they also use ancient martial arts. “Isn’t this the association president’s secret child?”
Yoo Ah-young asked, displaying her spirit to those around her.
She already knows that Tae-hyeon is entangled with the martial arts people of the Blood Demon Church and that he won the bet with Ji Jin-hee.
The question now was simply whether Ji Jin-hee would recall unnecessary trauma.
Ji Jin-hee also did not know her feelings.
“haha. “I wish that were the case.”
Kwasik.
Ji Jin-hee responded by kicking one of the approaching maws.
“Or else.”
Yoo Ah-young smirked and looked at Taehyun again.
When I first saw it, it had a D-grade level of magic power, but now it is spewing out S-grade magic power without fail.
‘It’s not magic, it’s not physical strengthening… I wonder what kind of skill it is.’
I observed the maw that was shaped by magical power.
Even if you break it and destroy it, it continues to target you and Ji Jin-hee as if it were intelligent.
As well as quick restoration, its power is not something to be taken lightly.
If they were Class A, they would have had to give up a limb.
‘It’s a skill that bounces off fragments of the world… It’s really fun.’
A strange smile appeared on Yoo Ah-young’s lips.
Kim Tae-hyun awakened to E-grade and became D-grade within a few days.
in other words.
‘It is clear that he is a growth-oriented awakener.’
Now, it is showing S-class power beyond vague possibility.
It is different from other S-classes in New Korea who have not been able to break down walls for several years.
If sufficient support and time are given, there is a strong possibility that it will grow into a national powerhouse.
‘Okay, I’ve decided.’
licking.
Just like Ji Jin-hee, Yoo Ah-young instinctively moved her lips.
‘Kim Tae-hyun. I have to have you.’
Her eyes towards Taehyun were as if looking at delicious prey.
Since we happen to be having a party together, there is plenty of time to flirt.
It’s a shame that I’m the same age as my pretentious half-brother, but what does age have to do with the world of pros?
‘If we want to subdue him without permanent damage, we’ll have to work together with the president of the association.’
The easiest way to suppress a runaway is to break the bones and muscles, but doing so can easily damage the jewelry.
‘Hmm… Is it better to cause reflux?’
Should we think of Ji Jin-hee’s ancient martial arts and give him a way out?
That’s when I was thinking about that.
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young. “I saw a fortune teller not long ago.”
Likewise, Ji Jin-hee, who was watching Tae-hyeon’s movements, opened her mouth.
“They said I was going to meet a noble person.”
“The president of the association is still the same.”
Buy it for me.
Who relies on such superstitions these days?
But Ji Jin-hee’s expression was serious.
Both eyes are watching the unconscious Taehyun, but the mouth is smiling.
“They said I was a huge being who could change the fate of me and the new Korea.”
“….”
“Now that I think about it, I think it was Taehyun.”
Kwasik.
Ji Jin-hee’s fist hit the jaw that came by surprise.
He turned his head and made eye contact with Yoo Ah-young.
“Isn’t it time for New Korea to produce a national powerhouse?”
“Hmm… you know that all players have the freedom to join a guild, right?”
“I know. “Please tell my Taehyun well too.”
Sigh.
Ji Jin-hee smiled and took a step forward.
“Isn’t it easy to produce a national power source? “I just hope Taehyun stays unscathed and regains his full skills.”
Ji Jin-hee strengthened her skills and mercilessly destroyed the approaching maw.
Rather than retreating, we approach.
The purpose was to deplete Taehyun’s magical power more quickly.
“This is so….”
Yoo Ah-young also raised her magic power to support Jin-hee Ji.
“Let me remember this debt.”
“Thank you.”
Ssssss.
Tsuzzzzzz.
Jin-hee Ji’s fighting spirit and Yoo Ah-young’s spirit bound Tae-hyun.
The mouth begins to shrink from the magical power of the two people.
It was an advantageous position in controlling space.
‘One more step.’
Ji Jin-hee narrowed the distance between herself and Tae-hyeon.
Cooung.
Taehyun’s body swayed as the pressure of his fighting spirit became stronger.
‘I’m sure it will become a national power source once it’s in full bloom.’
Even though sweat is pouring from his face, he smiles.
This is because I am happy to have acquired a treasure named Kim Tae-hyun.
at that time.
“President of the Association!!”
What Yoo Ah-young shouted from behind.
Kwaang!!
It was at the same time that Ji Jin-hee waved her hand.
“Big…”
Ji Jin-hee groaned.
Blood is flowing from the fist that blocked the attack a moment ago.
If the skill had not been unlocked with full force, it would have been broken or torn off.
‘Does this strength still remain?’
I ignored the throbbing pain and looked at Taehyun.
Smirk.
Taehyun’s mouth was twisted as his red eyes opened.
“Taehyun-kun…?”
[It’s the same.]
What came back was the monster’s answer.
Just right.
I just flicked my hand once.
Just that.
Ugh!!
A huge maw like never before appeared under my feet.
“…!!”
Ji Jin-hee jumped up and the mouth widened.
‘this!!’
This is the moment when Ji Jin-hee tries to perform ancient martial arts while risking some damage.
Pow!!
The green magic power bounced off the maw.
Ji Jin-hee, who did not miss the opportunity, retreated to where Yoo Ah-young was.
“I tried to explode it, but it bounced.”
She said with a stern face.
S-rank player.
Among them, Taehyun’s magic power, which was at the lower level, is increasing.
From lower class to lower middle class.
From low-intermediate to intermediate.
The increase in magical power does not stop.
“this…!! “It has to stop!!”
Taehyun’s body has not yet reached S rank.
If the magical power continues like this without being exhausted, permanent damage may occur.
Contrary to those concerns.
yet again.
[It’s you guys.]
The language of monsters came out of Taehyun’s mouth.
‘Humans use the language of monsters… What is this…?’ The more
you know, the more you can’t figure out its true identity.
“President of the Association. Now let’s go to my plan.”
Pazzzzz-.
Yoo Ah-young concentrated the magical power that she had been using out of sheer spirit into her body.
Another form of the S-rank skill ‘Amazon’s Awesomeness’.
The intention is to use runaway.
“I understand…”
Ji Jin-hee blocked her path with a miserable face.
This will buy her time until she can completely control her rampage.
Just right.
Taehyun snapped his fingers again.
That alone creates a strong attractive force.
‘…!!’
Geumgang, the 3rd form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
Cooung.
Ji Jin-hee planted both feet on the floor.
next.
New Korean Ancient Martial Art 5th Style Goryeo.
Ji Jin-hee’s knee popped out due to the acceleration of the pulling force.
Kwaang!!
Taehyun was struck in the abdomen.
The idea was to break the ribs and limit movement.
however.
Damn.
The curtain created in that moment blocked Ji Jin-hee’s attack.
A maw emerges from the cracked curtain once again.
Ji Jin-hee turned around without delay.
Taebaek, the first form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
Kwasik.
Cut out the mouth with the blade of your hand.
New Korean ancient martial arts 6th form. Decimal.
Quang.
Ji Jin-hee’s foot, carrying the recoil of the throw, hit Tae-hyeon’s head.
Damn it.
It’s a tent again.
bang. bang. bang. bang.
This is when Ji Jin-hee is pounding on Tae-hyeon’s body without a break.
Huh.
At that moment, a huge wind passed by.
It’s not the wind.
Kwaang!!
Yoo Ah-young’s body, which ran away, hit Tae-hyeon.
Taehyun, who was stuck awkwardly against the lab wall, stumbled and got up.
Towards Taehyun.
Kwaang!!
New Korean ancient martial arts 5th form. Consideration.
Ji Jin-hee’s ancient martial arts was spot on.
* * *
It’s annoying.
Even though I took up my body, I can’t muster up my original strength.
That’s not the only thing that’s annoying.
A message appears before your eyes.
Tiring.
[The ‘Tower Manager’ demands that the action stop immediately.]
[The ‘Tower Manager’ says that it is difficult to do this.]
Messages are constantly coming in from the tower manager.
Plus.
“Hmm!!”
“…!!”
Guys that would normally be fun to play with continue to rush in to try to subdue them.
The problem is that their strength is not much different from their current strength.
If it takes over your body in the right state, it can give you a fear similar to death with just a flick of a finger.
[Trivial things don’t know the topic.]
I know that they are Kim Tae-hyun’s colleagues.
Should I kill him?
no.
Therefore, there is a higher possibility that it will be difficult for Kim Tae-hyun to release the seal placed on him.
He is in a trash-like state and his life is being threatened by the constellation’s avatar.
If Kim Tae-hyun disappears, he himself will also disappear.
[What an opportunity I got.]
Sigh.
The doppelganger exhaled.
Dream eating.
A secret skill that is equivalent to predation, something that I cannot imitate now.
The aftereffects are starting to come.
There isn’t much time for him to occupy Kim Tae-hyun’s body.
Hahahahaha.
As the remaining magic power was unleashed, the bodies of Ji Jin-hee and Yoo Ah-young, who were running towards him, froze.
Crrrrr.
The maw became even more vicious and opened its teeth upward.
The intention is to destroy the tower’s boundaries with one predation.
I said so.
Tiring.
[The ‘Tower Manager’ says the conditions for granting a penalty have been completed.]
[The ‘Tower Manager’ warns you not to blame yourself.]
[Skill ‘Pandora’s Box(?)’ has been registered.]
[Skill ‘Pandora’s Box(?)’ is activated.]
‘What nonsense is this again…’
Tsuzuzuzuzu.
Contrary to expectations, the boiling magic begins to subside.
The maw of predation that was created is disappearing.
[….]
I looked up at the ceiling.
The top of the tower beyond.
Constellations and avatars that may be there.
Crack.
The doppelganger in Taehyun’s body gritted his teeth.
[Wait just a moment.]
Myself.
Climb to the top of this tower.
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation(?) has been activated.]
[The ‘Tower Manager’ is astonished.]
[Skill ‘Pandora’s Box(?)’ has been strengthened.] [
Warning. Penalty is given.]
[Awakening level This….]
[I will chew you all up and swallow you all up.]
Blah blah-.
The teeth in the mouth were not fully formed.
Crack.
I bit into the air.
