chapter 9
9 – Thank you.
[Junho Song]
[Type: Gratitude (50%), Admiration (50%)]
[Unlocked: Sword of Chill Demon (Lv.10), Intuition (Lv.5), Prosecutor’s Pride (Lv.3), Boneless (Lv.5), Mana Booster (Lv.3), Mana Circuit (Lv.3) .5), Etc]
[Possibility: Seongcheonganggol (Constitution), Dueling Brand (Skill), Adrenaline Booster (Skill), Skillful Hands (Skills), Hamcheon’s Endurance (Talent), Lesser Regeneration (Talent), Lasso of Red Thorns (Constitution) ), etc]
‘Wow, look at this bastard… ‘
I knew he was talented, but… I never dreamed that there would be so many.
‘It’s no joke being open.’
[Pride of the Prosecutor] And [Impossible Bone] Were talents coveted by all awakened fighters.
In the case of [Pride], It had the effect of correcting the handling of the sword and interfering with things that could not be cut like spiritual bodies or magic.
[Mole Bone] Increases the strength and bonding rate of bones to make them stronger and lighter.
‘In addition to that, there’s even a mana circuit.’
This alone is great, but the potential is even higher.
A 17-year-old guy with as much talent as me is probably rare in the world.
That’s why I was filled with anger.
‘This bastard… Is that the only thing that can grow in a subject with this much talent?’
Are you saying you didn’t want to use your strength because you were afraid of your ability?
‘Next time we meet, I’ll have to beat you up more. I was too kind.’
▶… Master. Then you really die.
‘It’s okay not to die. I wonder if I don’t even know that much, having cut off more than 800 demons. And the kid really needs to be beaten.’
I didn’t know because I didn’t wake up during the first playthrough.
Now, Song Joon-ho, I was able to fully estimate how far this guy could grow.
That’s why I was sure.
‘A child is a child who should not stop at the level he showed in his previous life.’
It’s not someone else, so there’s no way it’s different from what you have.
However, Song Joon-ho in his memory could not open the placenta at all.
‘There may be several reasons… ‘
That stupid inclination and lack of effort.
That’s probably the reason.
‘Anyways, let’s choose.’
I coveted all of them, but [Seongcheonganggol] Stood out the most.
‘… I can’t believe this happened to him.’
One of the constitutions that will make [Mole Bone] Something like that.
It helps to have sacred bones with the clear energy of the sky and increases the overall strength of the body.
At the same time, it grants the [Line] Attribute to all attacks.
‘A representative talent feared by demons.’
To add a little exaggeration, if he had this constitution, he wouldn’t be pushed back much even against a demon two levels higher than himself.
It was also the most needed talent for me at the moment.
‘If I had that, I’d be able to overcome the problem of being a swordsman.’
[The Ultimate Swordsman]
The most powerful attack method I currently have.
As a [SSS-class] Characteristic, it was a talent that was difficult to say was very outstanding compared to similar sword characteristics.
‘It’s because it doesn’t have an ultimate skill, which is a concept of a special move or an increase in stats.’
It is said that there is no final blow like [Black Child] Written by Song Joon-ho.
But there was one great option.
‘It allows you to spread the sword at its peak in any state.’
Either the intestines are blown away, one of the limbs is crushed, or the body is so frail that it will die of old age at any moment.
An effect that gives you the best power if you can only wield a sword.
It’s a good option with many uses, but there is one unexpected problem.
‘I never thought it would include the stage reached before returning.’
This was also the reason why it was difficult to control the strength if only the sword was pulled out.
The swordsmanship I’m currently using is aligned with the power I wielded in my prime, even though I didn’t intend to.
Thanks to the compatibility or attributes between abilities.
Providence by authority, it boasts overwhelming power to disregard reason and slice it…
‘f*ck, my body can’t stand it.’
What more can I say?
If it was simply damaging the body, I would stick a syringe into my blood vessel to cover it up, but if I use it a little longer, my mind would collapse due to the difference in rank, so I couldn’t last long.
‘… Seongcheonganggol would cover that to some extent.’
I was very attracted to it.
I was so damn attracted. b*tch dragged
Because if you can get your hands on that, the future will be easier.
‘But’
There was one thing that bothered me.
‘The noose of red thorns.’
It’s an S-class talent similar to [Seongcheonganggol], But… In reality, it is an ability close to a curse.
‘Instead of being able to use special abilities… E. Reduce the resistance to the evil attribute.’
It was also the ability that had bothered Song Joon-ho so much in his previous life.
Because it didn’t match well with the [Chill Demon’s Sword] He had.
Because of that, the madness symptoms that appear when using a light horse or a chest horse became even more severe.
Especially after the descent of demons, fighting with demons was common, so the side effects accelerated.
In the end, the fact that he took away his last moments was largely due to his constitution.
‘…… ‘
Awakened abilities cannot be destroyed in any way.
That was the world’s principle and the right theory.
The only exception is the ability to extort through the [Arhat’s contract] That I have.
‘… I can take duplicates, so it doesn’t have to be now.’
I had no choice but to wake up in the meantime.
“…Ah, f*ck. I can’t.”
Lee hyung-nim was very generous.
‘Be lucky. Because I’m lightening the burden.’
▶… Even if you say that when you are already stealing talent…
‘Uh huh, be quiet.’
[Select the noose of red thorns (constitution).]
[Acquire the Lasso of Red Thorns (Lv. 1).]
[The goddess of revenge and destruction looks down on you.]
I felt a hot and sticky power inside my body.
A sharp thorny vine grew on the back of my hand and eventually faded away.
‘Is there any information in the description?’
It was only because of his constitution that he settled down, but there was no detailed explanation.
A truly sinister ability. It’s okay though.
If you need to, you can just sell it.
‘Okay, Hwang Bo-han next.’
This bastard doesn’t care if he gets f*cked or not, so I’m going to choose the best one.
[Hwang Bo-han]
[Form: Anger (99%), Fear (1%)]
[Unlocked: Heart of the Beast (Lv.10), Hwashinhwa (Lv.10), Sense of the Beast (Lv.10), Soul of the Martial Artist (Lv.5), Magnificent Bones (Lv.5) , Mana Heart (Lv.8), Rapid Regeneration (Lv.5) Etc]
[Potential: Extra Arms (Skill), Fluffy Hair (Constitution), etc]
‘This guy too… It’s not easy.’
I didn’t know because I fainted unsightly with one kick… Compliant overall.
What was particularly impressive was the open talent side.
‘Didn’t you put it in with a real exhaust? Even higher levels… ‘
Come to think of it, this bastard’s father was that authority king, right?
It definitely feels different from Junho Song.
It’s like the difference between a guy who grew up on his own without a proper teacher and a guy who took an elite course from the beginning and grew up following a clear path.
That’s why I realized it once again.
The presence or absence of a teacher is enormous.
‘Well, I was an asshole before I met Cecilia… ‘
Well, yes.
I know you’re proud, but thanks to you, I’m in serious trouble.
‘f*ck, I’ve already got it all, so I don’t have much to take, do I?’
[Arhat’s contract] Is a restriction, so you can only take potential.
So I can’t get my hands on anything that’s been opened… This bastard had already awakened most of his needs, so there wasn’t much to taste.
‘… Write it, the king of kings. Please leave something to eat.’
I pressed
ETC and kept scrolling through the list.
Still, I thought that since he was a bastard whose head hadn’t even dried up yet, there must be something left to eat.
Then it was just a moment.
“…Hmm?”
As I looked closely, one talent caught my eye.
[Eye of Behemoth (Skill)]
“This is it.”
I pressed the button while calming the rising corners of my lips.
[Select a talent.]
[Acquire Behemoth’s Eye (Lv.1).]
‘Good.’
Sometimes, when fighting, the will to kill the enemy is greatly expressed, but this is often referred to as survival.
Usually it’s nothing more than a simple technique, but there have been cases where some have sublimated into a unique skill.
‘The most representative one is, of course, the Dragon Fear of the cubs of Yonggary… ‘
It is usually used to attract aggro by focusing attention, but it can be used in various ways as the level increases.
‘An ability that is useful in battle where even a small variable has a big impact, such as losing the fighting spirit or stopping the opponent for a long time.’
For me, whose ability to steal talent is determined by the mental state of the opponent, there was no ability that matched this well.
‘If you do well, you can use it as an attack.’
After finishing the satisfying shopping, my cell phone vibrated at just the right time.
[Information to Cadet Choi Si-woo. Come to the storage room on the first floor… ]
‘What kind of guy has so many rhetoric?’
Summarizing, it was about getting a golden apple because you were the 1st in the group, and waiting for the class assignment because you are working overtime and in a f*cking meeting.
The current time has been confirmed.
‘6:35… ‘
It was the perfect time to deal with apologies and train with both sides.
‘Let’s go right away.’
I got up, changed into a simple gym suit, and headed outside.
* * *
I entered the building in front of me.
At a glance, I could see a luxurious interior with state-of-the-art facilities that showed that a lot of money had been spent.
[Confirm your identity. Cadet Choi Si-woo. You can enter the training room.]
[You are currently a cadet whose assignment has not been confirmed.]
[There is a restriction on the use of the special training room. Are there any additional facilities you would like to use?]
“Private room access. Unlimited hours.”
[OK. I’ll give you a special key. Please return it after use.]
I was nodding my head and was about to enter the private room.
‘… This… ‘
As I followed as if possessed by the familiar magical wave, I saw a girl with a familiar face.
The girl was breathing hard as she slashed the approaching targets with quick movements.
‘Ohana.’
It was the second encounter after the test.
