Part 2 Episode 23
“Demon King? “What is that guy doing?”
Kwon Kang-hyuk asked as if it were the name of the restaurant owner.
“It’s a monster. Even if you don’t do it, you will still get SSS level.”
“what?”
Kwon Kang-hyuk looked astonished at the mention of SSS grade.
This is because at this time, proper exploration of SS-class monsters has not yet been conducted.
But what about SSS level?
Kwon Kang-hyuk’s reaction was also understandable.
“Are you telling me to believe such nonsense?”
“That’s up to you, Guild Leader Kwon Kang-hyuk.”
“Huh… you’re talking like a brat…”
“Come on, Guild Leader Kwon Kang-hyeok. Let’s listen to Taehyun’s story a little more. “Don’t they say I saw the results myself?”
Kwak Si-yang appeased the guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk.
The quest ‘Pandora’s Key’ given directly by the tower manager.
And Taehyun’s skill ‘Pandora’s Box’ is the cause.
Kwak Si-yang didn’t tell anyone, but he thought Taehyun’s skills were so irregular that the top manager was wary of them.
‘I guess that’s why the skill was sealed upon awakening.’
Even if the things that Taehyun sees are not common, they are understandable.
No, it’s okay if you don’t understand.
Just by following along, you can gain great enlightenment and grow.
It was Kwak Si-yang, whose rationalization had already been completed.
“Once you decide to believe, believe it until the end. “I guarantee it.”
“Huh… Guild Leader Kwak’s personality has changed a lot.”
“If it doesn’t change. “Do you really want to kneel in front of all the guild members?”
“Fuck…”
Kwon Kang-hyuk swore once and looked at Tae-hyeon.
“So, how can I imitate that guy called the Demon Beast King? “My skills are not something that can be easily imitated through image training.”
‘I know very well.’
‘Beast’s Protection’ requires experience to be imprinted on the user’s body.
Therefore, in order to imitate common wild beasts, one had to learn their habits by rolling around in a cage together. In the case of extinct species, the biological principles could be understood through thorough research and then applied to skills. In the case of monsters, one had to subdue them after a bloody battle. It was only then that I could use it.
Whether it is SS grade or SSS grade.
Imitating a new monster in two days was too much for Kwon Kang-hyuk.
“Are you really trying to register a new skill?”
Kwak Si-yang asked that question.
“no. “Guild leader Kwon Kang-hyeok will not have enough enlightenment to do that.”
“This bastard?”
“Not even my body can bear it. “It’s not easy for other players because they don’t have as much understanding of magic as Guild Leader Kwak Si-yang.”
‘It’s not easy…’
He also barely succeeded after repeated bouts of exhaustion, but Taehyun was talking about it as a trivial matter.
“Then you’re saying it’s impossible.”
“Why don’t you just shut up and listen? Mr. Big. “Our Taehyun is trying to explain now.”
Yoo Ah-young, who was quietly watching, added a word.
At the word ‘we’, Kwon Kang-hyuk and Kwak Si-yang’s faces darkened drastically.
“You… what… are you… now… with that kid…” As
Kwon Kang-hyuk stuttered, Yoo Ah-young took a step forward and said.
“I know better about Taehyun’s risk as I have personally encountered him. So shut up and listen, you beast.”
“You foxy bitch. “Why on earth do people with smooth faces have such different personalities?”
“Is that because your personality is like that?”
“Hmm, calm down, both of you. Taehyun. “Keep talking.”
Kwak Si-yang changed the topic by appeasing the atmosphere that was about to become harsh.
If we delay further, Kwon Kang-hyuk and Yoo Ah-young will have to compete before the friendly match.
Taehyun nodded.
“First, I would like to create a magic stone in your body.”
“Magic stone?”
“me too?”
Kwak Si-yang and Yoo Ah-young asked back.
“yes. All three have potential.”
“If it’s a magic stone… isn’t it the heart that monsters have?”
As expected of Kwak Si-yang, who has a high level of understanding of magical power, he followed along at once.
“you’re right. “It makes it easier to use the power of monsters.”
“No matter what, it’s the heart of a monster… It’s not a demon, so I’m reluctant…”
“There’s nothing special about it just because it’s a magic stone. horsepower. skill. Magic tools. The same goes for these things. “In the end, it’s up to the person how they handle it.”
“Anyway… there is no research yet on implanting magic stones into players.”
It is quicker to show something once than to tell it a hundred times.
Kiiiii-.
Taehyun awakened the magic stone that had been created in his body.
A flowing dark red magical power bloomed.
The three guild leaders’ eyes widened.
“This can’t be…”
“How…?”
“Fuck… what are you really doing?”
Taehyun ignored their reactions and continued his explanation.
“It has softened from the previous runaway state. After creating the magic stone, I immediately became a B-class awakened person. and.”
Hwii-.
Let the magic stone rotate with a roar.
Tiring.
[The awakening grade has temporarily changed to A.]
The message I was hoping for came to mind.
Others also felt Taehyun’s changed presence.
“Since it is possible to temporarily increase physical abilities, it is also possible to change grades like this.”
“What nonsense….”
Kwak Si-yang observed Taehyeon’s magical power with a shocked face.
If true, it’s a huge deal.
All three people who did not reach the national power level have caught the clue to growth.
“One day from now. The three of you will focus on making magic stones. “Afterwards, we will gradually think about whether guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk can imitate the Demon Beast King.”
Kwon Kang-hyuk and Yoo Ah-young, with dumbfounded expressions, responded by nodding their heads.
and.
“Taehyun. “What on earth are you seeing?”
Kwak Si-yang asked with a trembling voice.
Skill Pandora’s Box.
This kind of realization even though the seal hasn’t been lifted yet.
Taehyun made eye contact with the three guild leaders.
“The future of players. And I can see the next generation that we can reach.”
“….”
If Ji Jin-hee had heard these words, she would have shed tears, saying that fortune had been rolled into New Korea.
“The president of the association should have heard this.”
“It was just the old man’s taste.”
Yoo Ah-young and Kwon Kang-hyuk also had similar thoughts.
“Guild leader Kwak Si-yang, please strengthen the curtain around us. “It will be quite a difficult training.”
“Oh, okay.”
These are people who reached the level of anti-aircraft contractors in the past.
Although I was not able to watch it grow into a complete large supply due to lack of time.
‘We have to make it clear this time.’
That way, of course, the saintess in front of you right now.
Because I will become a strong guardian who protects Taehyeon at the light tower in the future.

“Okay then. “Please rest well.”
The Hwan-geom, who had once performed the ritual, returned and after a while, the Ghost-geom came in.
“Welcome, ghost sword. “I was already waiting.”
The saintess smiled while lying on her bed.
“Look at this. Such luxury inside the tower. “Isn’t the advancement of technology amazing?”
The ghost sword looked down at her for a moment and then opened its mouth.
“Why did you accept that offer?”
“Why?”
“This mission. I remember not liking it. “It wasn’t too bad that the board broke.”
The saintess burst into laughter at the ghost sword’s words.
“Oh dear. Ghost sword. “It’s not that I didn’t like the mission, it’s that I hated being bored.”
“….”
“What were they doing?”
“I was pitching a tent with magical power. “If we had gone further in, Kwak Si-yang would have noticed.”
“Huh~ He’s a picky guy after all.”
The saint lay face down on the bed and placed her hand on her chin.
It even has reverse summoning magic that was not in the information.
‘Have you been hiding it all this time? Or… acquired enlightenment?’
It doesn’t matter either way.
What is certain is that the difference in one skill of an S-rank player leads to an increase in the power of a nation.
“Should I just kill him?”
“….”
“Hmm. “Of course that won’t work.”
“I can kill you if you want.”
“As expected, Shinji. That’s great confidence. But please wait a little longer.”
“…why?”
So far, quite a number of people have been killed for the sake of the saint.
Even if the opponent is an S-rank player from New Korea.
I was confident that I could handle it with minimal traces inside the tower.
“Wouldn’t it be better to die by accident?”
“….”
“For now, let’s focus on the friendly match that will be held in two days. “I’m really looking forward to it.”
The saintess laughed bitterly.
It was a change that could not be seen from the crazy appearance of a moment ago.
“Do you still have feelings for a guy named Kim Tae-hyun?”
“Oh my, are you jealous?”
“….”
“But it would be difficult to kill him.”
“I’ll do my best.”
“Hmm~ If we don’t relieve Shinji’s feelings, Taehyun Kim won’t be alive until tomorrow. great.”
The saint stood up and untied the kimono she was wearing.
“Please sleep with me today.”
“…!!”
The eyes of the ghost sword, which had always shown no emotion, trembled strongly.
The saint’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon.
“How about being honest with your feelings today?”
The ghost sword shook his head.
“There are many eyes watching. “Get some rest.”
With those words, he quietly left the barracks.
“Tsk. “It’s not fun.”
The saintess muttered that.
No one was listening.

“According to the Awakened Oath, two players each from New Korea and Japan will be the judges. Intervention is not possible, and any team that intervenes will be considered a loser.”
Onsaemiro’s guild member explained the rules of the friendly battle.
The referees in New Korea were Yoo Ah-young and Kwak Si-yang.
The person who served as referee in Japan was a ghost sword and an unknown A-grade player.
With the conclusion of the explanation, a friendly match began in the vacant lot on the third floor.
“This idiot. “My body itched and I thought I was going to die.”
Kwon Kang-hyuk smiled and said to Hwan-geom.
“You showed up without running away. “Don’t retire even if you lose an arm.”
“why. “You said that even if you break your head, that fox will bring you back to life?”
Wahahaha.
Kwon Kang-hyuk smiled and shook his shoulders.
It’s an obvious provocation.
However, it was a fatal insult to Hwangeom.
Along with the swear words, the sword was overflowing with magical energy.
S-rank skill distorted sword.
Uses magical power to maximize the remnants of the sword being held.
It’s a skill that seems simple at first glance, but it’s a different story if you’re a player with an S-level physical ability.
Fit-.
Blood splattered on Kwon Kang-hyuk’s strengthened upper body.
The sword I thought I had blocked ended up cutting through my chest.
“That bastard… fluttering.”
“Now is the beginning.”
“Now is the beginning.”
The sword began chopping up the body of Kwon Kang-hyuk, who had turned into a wild beast.
“oh. What should I do with that? “Hwangeom worked really hard from the beginning.”
Taehyeon did not turn his head despite what the saint said.
Because I knew that the moment I turned my head, I would miss the movement.
“Honestly, I was a little surprised. Even though I have no hobby in combat, it is at the level of national power.”
‘You only get one chance.’
Taehyun focused his mind on the saint’s words.
“I can’t believe Taehyun Kim, who is not even a wild beast, is dealing with me directly. also. “Is it a time like this to say that you don’t know what’s going on in the world?”
Grinning.
The saint gave Taehyeon a bright smile.
“Isn’t it uncomfortable to live like that?”
“yes?”
“Your true colors are not something you hide so clumsily.”
“Oh my, your true colors? I practiced love for humanity and received a title directly from the Holy Emperor…”
“That’s it. Are you going to come in first?”
Taehyun’s tone changed from an honorific to an informal one.
“Or should I go in first?”
“Huh~ Is that your real face? “I will give up the player to the little lamb who has no idea what’s going on in the world.”
‘The Lamb.’
Taehyun’s mouth twitched.
“Today your concept of sheep will change.”
Kiiiii-.
As soon as the magic gem awakens, a message appears that its awakening level changes.
“Hoo. Was it a variable awakener? “It’s an interesting skill.”
Taehyun took a stance while speaking the saint’s words.
‘We go full force from the beginning.’
Ancient Chinese martial arts fifth form penetrator.
He stepped forward and approached, aiming for the saint’s face.
Suddenly.
The saint smiled and grabbed Taehyeon’s hand.
“therefore. “The difference in abilities is too big?”
“No, it’s just right.”
New Korean ancient martial arts 7th type plain.
Taehyeon’s other hand, strengthened by magical power, was aimed at the saint’s chest.
“Tsurara!!”
The ghost sword that was watching shouted.
