Chapter 156.
Even Soo Ah-rin or Yong Se-ha did not doubt that Jung Si-woo would only set the training frame and resume monster hunting. Raising the level and securing beads was more important than anything else for him. However, their thoughts were changed as soon as Jung Si-woo, who had been training for about a week, called out 3,300 ghosts at once, even though he looked tired from his series of hardships.
“Let’s sort you all out according to your levels.”
[Yep!]
All the ghosts in front of his eyes lined up, except for those in charge of several major figures, such as his parents and the master of the Soaring Tempest guild. Perhaps the most were ghosts less than 50 at level 1 with a figure of over 2,000, and ghosts ranging from 50 to 100 were about 1,000. Ghosts ranging from 100 to 150 were about 250 in number, and dozens of others were strong enough to exceed 150 levels.
“Some of you have been tasked with dealing with monsters on Earth, so I’m sure you know what I’m going to do.”
[Yes.]
Jung Si-woo continued in an instructor-style tone that reminded them of the military.
“From now on, we’re going to make a group of 100. One group should have one ghost with at least a level 150, 5 ghosts with at least a level 100, and the rest of the low-level ghosts can group themselves. Okay, start grouping.”
As they were ghosts who accepted Jung Si-woo’s ideas and moved accordingly, it was when a total of 33 groups were created as his soul force skills reached level 5 and his dominance was strengthened.
“All right, from now on, you’re going around the globe hunting monsters. The first is safety; the second is confidentiality. The third is the magic stones. Do you understand?
[Yes!]
“There’s a smell of a familiar leader in you, Hyeong-nim…”
“Yeah, I think it’s a very dangerous kind of leader.”
Jung Si-woo lightly ignored the group’s murmuring and sent them to the ground. And then he grouped the three strongest ghosts into one.
“You’re the elite group. Specialize in big, high-level guys. Bring me the dead bodies.”
[Okay. Leave it to us.]
The person who answered him was a ghost from the Empire Guild who had been reduced to a human monster by Louisos’s power in the past. Now, of course, he was forced to regenerate and follow his orders.
“All right, let’s go.”
[Yes!]
So all the ghosts disappeared from his sight. Jung Si-woo frowned at the signals coming from all the 3,000 ghosts but soon recovered his breath.
“All right, this will help me train my mind.”
“You’re an iron man.”
“Whoa, let’s try again.”
As a result of repeated activation of the superstrength skill at the end of each week’s penalty, the level also rose by 1 to 6, and his physical stats grew by almost more than 10. Since the earth was flooded with mana, his mana has been growing naturally in the process of repeating his mana breathing exercise using the dragon’s senses, so he had been growing all the status without having to raise the level.
“Of course, it’s good to have a higher status than a monster.”
Said Luta.
“The level itself represents the dignity of existence. Even if you are ahead in terms of status, it is very difficult to defeat an enemy whose level differs by more than 50. Attacks that need to be hit are missed, and they need to be able to hit more painfully, but it’s hard to give valid damage to the enemy. On the contrary, your opponent can hit you harder.”
“Why are you here!?”
They weren’t in the residential area; they were in the resting place! Luta sat on the sofa in the living room and smiled as she lifted a steaming teacup.
“Miss Soo Ah-rin told me to come to have a cup of tea.”
“Her, mhmm, cookies are delicious.”
In other words, she offered cookies to get a ticket to the resting place. Jung Si-woo stole the cookie from Soo Ah-rin, who was chewing it while making a face.
“Oh no, my cookie!”
“The cookies are delicious…but just drink tea and go. I’m going to train. Oh, and don’t worry, I’m going to raise the levels all at once later.”
“Through the integrated dungeon, right?”
“Yes.”
Considering that all the previous very low-level dungeons were integrated to have a fun experience and collect the fragments of God, integrating the low-level dungeons might give him more experience. It may even be possible to encounter the fragment of Metimoa again.
“Maybe by the time you’ve come out stronger, the current low-level dungeon has changed to very low….”
“Oh.”
Even so, however, Jung Si-woo’s determination didn’t change. He responded with a laugh and jumped into the dungeon.
Two weeks later, his strength skills grew to level 7, and Jung Si-woo had a very small realization of the flow of mana controlled by the tattoos on both his arms. He was convinced that he could strengthen his power by effectively operating Mana without resorting to skills. But!
“It’s a bit too varied to mix with combat sprint.”
“You realize that just now?”
“But it’s not impossible to make this mana fast and reckless.”
“You just don’t know when to give up…”
Super-strength was a skill like a destroyer’s power. All Jung Si-woo’s skills were special, but no other skill had appealed to his instincts as much as his super-strength. He did not doubt that this alone would be able to rise to the ranks of God.
‘It’s a lot better to hold up the penalty.’
One of the reasons was that the aftereffects decreased as he rose to level 7, but the effect gained from mastering the dragon’s senses was also great. It was because he was as accustomed to controlling the senses as amplifying his senses and succeeded in somewhat blocking the aftereffects of his strongest skills.
Pain, of course, was a sign from the body, and it was no good ignoring it. However, if the pain were from his development, it wouldn’t be a problem to select and block it. Jung Si-woo calmly thought so, doing what was impossible to mankind. It took only ten days for the strength skill to grow to level 8. At the same time, as the penalty time was reduced, it became somewhat possible for Jung Si-woo to withstand the aftereffects and invoke his strength skills again.
[The Dragon’s Sense Skill has become Lv4.]
[Strong power skill became Lv8. All of your body’s status rises by 15.]
[Courage of the Ignorant became Level 12. The physical ability temporarily increases in proportion to the pain you receive.]
“Oh, yeah, I see. I’m ignorant.”
Ignorance seemed to run wild as if Jung Si-woo was a berserker if he combined courage and superpower. Anyway, it was a pleasure that his skills grew and he gained new abilities. Jung Si-woo decided to accept it calmly.
“Oppa, isn’t it time to go to the dungeon?”
“Still, I should at least hit level 10 for super strength.”
At that point, it was judged that the mana consumption would decrease, and the ability to withstand the aftereffects would increase, allowing him to use strong force without any burden in the dungeon. Even now, the burden of using strong force has decreased a lot.
“Pain is an adjustment…”
“Don’t look at me so dimly. Because I’m scared you when you do that.”
The more he got used to the skill, the less penalty he felt. As he skillfully dealt with mana to care for his body, his physical strength and agility that should naturally be reduced weren’t far removed. His body count, which was originally high, continued to grow due to the development of his strong skills, so even Jung Si-woo, who was now subject to the penalty of strength, could lift a substantial building!
Even if it wasn’t enough to maintain the power at all times, he had prepared a framework to use the power like ordinary skills. When it comes to DragoX Ball, it felt like he was always throwing a punch. In other words, it was a fraud.
“Oh, now that I’ve been looking at my current state of mind, I feel like I’m about to play in real life….”
“What the hell does that feel like…?”
It would have been great if the hunch had been a miss, but exactly three hours later, Jung Si-woo felt the ghost’s report to Kim Ha-ryong cut off and had to stop training. Kim Ha-ryong, who had been making all kinds of lies without knowing that he had been haunted, suddenly turned around and attacked the ghost as if he had received some kind of revelation! Jung Si-woo speculated that it was probably God’s influence.
“The god of fire…?”
He was already treating Kim Ha-ryong as a minion of Paeto, the god of flames. With Kim Ha-ryong’s ability, he shouldn’t be able to identify the ghost. This likely meant that Paeto actively started to intervene!
“God of Flame. The woman named Pira was strong. Caina was stronger, but…”
“I thought it was time to start working. We’ve recovered from the damage we’ve done at Potupou.”
“Ha.”
Listening to his supporters’ voices, who closely followed Jung Si-woo, he sighed. Even now, he was suffering from the aftereffects of his super strength skills, but now at least on the outside, he didn’t seem to be suffering. His muscles were somewhat reduced, but now his ignorance wasn’t much different from the normal physical condition due to increased ability when suffering from the influence of courage skills. However, he wanted to master his skills until those minor changes were eliminated.
“How come there’s no time chamber in this world…?”
Couldn’t they at least wait until Jung Si-woo finished training? Yeah, he didn’t think so. Then there was only one answer: to patch things up quickly before they grew bigger.
“Fortunately, it’s Korea this time.”
“Where exactly?”
“Jeju Island.”
It would have been easy for a player as big as Kim Ha-ryong to use his wings to go to other countries, but why he stayed in Jeju Island was simple because he had lost his wings.
“I’m surprised.”
Soo Ah-rin blinked.
“I thought you’d try to deal with it when he was still human.”
“Honestly, he was so weak that I didn’t care.”
“You brought it on yourself.”
But he couldn’t leave an annoying person, so he had only one ghost attached to him, and this was the end of his life. Of course, it was a ghost, so once it’s recovered to a certain extent, it could be recalled…
“Paeto’s been actively involved, and now he’s a little more powerful.”
“That’s a good thing, yes….”
Before leaving the resting place, Jung Si-woo thought for a moment whether to leave Caina in the residential area but quickly called her out.
“If he blocks the ghosts, he’s doing things he doesn’t want us to know about. And maybe he’ll summon some strong monsters.”
[I’ll look forward to it, my lord.]
As expected, Caina looked very happy for her first appearance in a long time. Beto, who was waiting next to her, wound down the box he was holding.
“It’s a bullet I’ve made! I was able to make 30,000 of them somehow by mixing the frame with the mana stones the master had given me.”
It is a gun that can shoot up to 3,000 shots per minute so that it could shoot 10 minutes with 30,000 shots. Jung Si-woo took the carbon box lightly and patted Beto’s head, putting it in his inventory, thinking that he could destroy one of the worlds with that alone.
“Thanks. I’ll be right back.”
“Yes, Master!”
[But master, are you sure you’re going to be able to unleash that power all the time? The power I feel is extraordinary.]
“I’m in a state of penalty.”
[Huh…?]
For just over a month, Caina was shocked by the change Jung Si-woo had made as her eyes bugged out. He threw her a silent pitch and threw open the door of the resting place.
It was time to catch the culprit.
