Chapter 155.
“There’s only one bullet in the chamber. The other nine are empty.”
Since there were ten barrels, the number of bullets that could fit was ten. But there was no need to load it fully. This was because 49 more bullets were generated as soon as the magic bullet was fired.
“The five bullets are on standby and then fired one after another. If you get more proficient at it, you can shoot two at a time.”
“Standby…so one teddy bear goes in every space in the chamber, and only the powder keeps shooting out.”
“I don’t know, but that’s probably not wrong.”
More aggression, much less bullet consumption. Even the possibilities remained. His full proficiency in flying to Andromeda was heartbreaking, but everything else was perfect.
“Oh, yeah. This is…”
“This is…”
Jung Si-woo took out a strange corpse that seemed to be a mixture of trees and humans out of his inventory. Although God’s power was drained and dried and twisted from it, the dignity remained intact. Beto exclaimed the moment he saw it.
“Maybe this monster…is the Legion God?
“You noticed right away.”
Jung Si-woo looked at Beto with a bitter smile.
“Although the God didn’t descend himself, the monster was carrying their holy object.”
“We can use it as a material for bullets. And I think I can use it as a substitute for a mana stone because it has divine powers.”
“That’s exactly what I wanted to hear.”
The fact that God was in the form of a human being before was of no consequence now. He handed over the body, satisfied with Beto’s boast that he could reduce the consumption of mana stone. Everyone else was watching with strange eyes, but of course, he didn’t care.
“Then call me when the bullets are ready. I’ll be resting.”
“Yes, Master!”
“Okay, then let’s all do our best. Dismissed…hmmm.”
This completed all business in the residential area. Jung Si-woo was yawning as Soo Ah-rin followed after him.
“I thought you would go straight into the dungeon for weapons.”
“You tend to think of me like an iron man.”
He smiled bitterly and patted Soo Ah-rin on the head. Then he dragged Yong Se-ha out of the residential area. Although he was held back by Luta and heard this and that before they could leave.
“Since you’ve got the right to enter, why don’t you go to the Abyss?”
“I’m planning to clear the underwater dungeon, but I’m too sleepy now.”
“That’s the strongest dungeon on Earth right now!”
Now that he was already sensitive to the word ‘power,’ he wasn’t able to listen to her and ignore it. He glanced back at Luta, looking up at him with sparkling eyes as if she knew what he was thinking of…
“Ouch!”
He tapped her forehead.
“Why are you hitting me!”
“Because you’re unlucky today. I’ll see you later.”
“You’re violent!”
He neatly ignored Luta’s swearing behind his back and came out to rest with his party. All he could think about right now was wanting to sleep.
“Okay, then I’ll go to bed. Good night, everyone.”
“Oppa, you know what?”
Soo Ah-rin hesitated to call Jung Si-woo, who was about to dive straight into bed. He tilted his head, and she shook her head as soon as she seemed to say something.
“Never mind, I’ll just trust you, Oppa.”
“It looks like a ridiculous skip might happen…but yes, just trust me.”
“Okay.”
Jung Si-woo seemed to have a rough idea of what she was going to say, so he just gently patted Soo Ah-rin’s hair with a faint smile. The next day, Jung Si-woo decided to check his skills before entering the dungeon. In particular, the most important of them was the strongest skill.
‘The Strength skill is top-notch in both active and passive importance.’
A super strength skill was an absurd ability skill that not only had the effect of momentarily amplifying his power beyond its limit but also permanently strengthened his body in the process of repeated use of the skill.
‘At this time, the most helpful thing, in the end, is the super-strength skills. I need to level up my strength skills and build up my physical strength. To do so, in the end…’
Just as he was always maintaining combat speed, he needed to keep his strength close to normal. It didn’t matter if it was possible. Jung Si-woo decided whether or not he was going to do it.
‘The maximum duration for the skill is about 7 minutes at a level 5. On the other hand, the penalty is about 10 minutes. For these 10 minutes…’
It would hurt to death, but Jung Si-woo was capable of enduring pain. He could even endure pain to the point of losing his consciousness. However, the pain dulled him, so he wasn’t using it as much unless he couldn’t finish his enemy with one shot…
“It’s time to get used to it.”
“Oppa, you’re crazy right now….”
Over the past few months, Jung Si-woo’s training focused on gaining mana-based combat experience, maintaining combat sprints and Stone skin (now switched to Chaos scale, reducing the burden), adapting active skills, and mastering changes in the pattern of active skills. It was basic training. Jung Si-woo was only on the stage of mastering the skill of applying Mana more intensely.
Now that he had been able to apply the maintaining his combat run at all times, he was able to move on to the next level.
“I don’t think I’m going to be able to do it again during the penalty time, but I’m going to keep this active skill to keep it going.
“…”
Soo Ah-rin was shaken. Superstrength was different from combat racing in many ways. No, it wasn’t normal to even keep running 24 hours a day, but he was on a different level of power!
“How much mana did you use?”
“It’s too much for me right now, but if my skill level rises and my level and total mana grow, I might be able to use it with only natural recovery. Most of all, we’ll be training at a resting place, so we don’t have to worry about running out of magic.”
“I see, that’s a relief….”
Jung Si-woo’s plan was like this. Now that he didn’t know the strength skill in detail, he first needed to use the strength, invoke the skill immediately after the penalty time, and gradually get used to how the skill was invoked. If he grew his skills gradually and eventually ignored the penalty time and could activate the power continuously, he would be able to explore how to maintain the power continuously.
“If it succeeds, my body’s pace of development will be dramatically faster.”
“Wouldn’t it break down by leaps and bounds…?”
“If there’s a level-up, I can relieve the negative effects of fatigue during that time. But I’m not going to get damaged in the first place.”
Soo Ah-rin was skeptical, but Jung Si-woo’s idea went further from there.
“And as I now equate my mana with the pattern of combat sprinting, if I can contain the properties of all the mana flowing through my body, then I won’t have to be aware that it’s a skill. Strengthen the body and strengthen the skills. It’s perfect… maybe we’ll be able to combine combat speed and superpower into one.”
“You’re completely crazy…”
A ‘skill’ was a way to apply and move mana. It was the result of natural logic to think that if one could strengthen one’s body with a super strength skill, one could strengthen another!
“I’ve never seen someone with a free-spirited mind like you.”
“Tell me honestly.”
“You’re the first person I’ve ever seen to act on such an ignorant and idiotic idea. Ouch, ouch, ouch.”
Jung Si-woo began his full-fledged training after lightly pinching Soo Ah-rin’s cheek when she spoke too frankly. The first time was simple. Stuck in the training camp with a ferocious, horribly fortified body, he mastered his heavy-weapon battle skills.
“Oh my, the training grounds are going to collapse!”
“Don’t worry; it won’t collapse.”
For about seven minutes, instruments in the training center, including sandbags. A shock capable of breaking down a city was delivered throughout the training center through the instruments, causing excessive vibrations. How terrible was it that Jung Si-woo, strengthened by his power, ran wild! At least, as the training ground was leveled up, the size grew several times, so it was enough to endure.
“Whoa…whoooo.”
But his momentum collapsed exactly seven minutes later. His swollen muscles tore apart, and he seemed to lose two-thirds of his size in an instant. Jung Si-woo was just clenching his teeth in pain. It was hard not only to reactivate the force but also to endure the pain and move.
“Whooo…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
In combat, he became a crazed warrior who forgot the pain because he only thought of biting his enemies like a predator. Therefore, he managed to overcome the penalty in a half-dazed state, and the pain he suffered from training was terrible.
“Sigh, Aaaaaaaaaahhh.
“Hyeong, Hyeong-nim, are you all right?”
Jung Si-woo was distressed to the point where Yong Se-ha, who was training far away so that he couldn’t ignore him anymore. He freaked out and approached. He didn’t even notice Yong Se-ha calling him and rounded up. It felt like someone was tearing off the muscles from his body one by one. It felt like his blood was burning up and swallowing him.
It was even more painful because he had the dragon’s senses.
“Whoo, aaaaaaaaaaaahhh…”
But he couldn’t look away from the pain. That was because it was the beginning of Jung Si-woo’s knowledge of how powerful skills strengthened the body and how the body that lost strength reacted to the skill to achieve permanent strengthening.
“Whoo…now I know.”
“Hyeong-nim?”
“I’m okay. You won’t have to pay too much attention because you’ll see this more often.”
“Hyeong-nim…”
Jung Si-woo, who felt the penalty was coming to an end, raised his head while breathing raggedly. He finally realized when he saw the sweat on Jung Si-woo’s forehead, which was never seen even if he ran at full speed for more than 10,000 days.
‘To be strong, this man never stops….’
Jung Si-woo was always strong. For him, strength wasn’t something you could learn; it was innate. However, at the point after birth, Jung Si-woo himself was fully in charge of developing his power. He tried to control his superior power and train himself to grow stronger on the other hand…like countless tempered steel swords, Jung Si-woo had grown that way.
“Okay, then let’s try again.”
“Then…I’ll go back to my training.”
Even though there were so many things he wanted to say, he eventually turned in the opposite direction of Jung Si-woo and resumed training. He couldn’t even compare their talent, but if he fell behind even in terms of effort, he would be embarrassed and wouldn’t be able to stand by him.
