Episode 157.
It was an hour and a half from New York to Arizona on the Phantom bike. Furthermore, it was only natural for Jung Si-woo to arrive in less than five minutes to Jeju Island from anywhere in Korea.
[The combat sprint skill has become Lv67.]
“Basic skills are also good because they level up fast.”
“Of course, level-up speed of skill acquisition and training, but it’s abnormal to hit level 67 in less than a year.”
Jung Si-woo stopped listening to Soo Ah-rin, turning to her because he suddenly remembered something.
“Do you have a level 100 skill?”
“None.”
Her reply was immediate. When his eye’s widened, Soo Ah-rin explained with a slight smile of joy.
“Well, I don’t know about the advanced skills, but I’m pretty good at basic skills. I don’t know about the other classes, but the skills I’ve mastered have evolved into higher-level skills.”
“Really?”
“Yes, the healing and blessing that I deal with were originally called lower healing and lower blessing.”
“Hmm…”
Jung Si-woo nodded. Come to think of it, Soo Ah-rin was one of the first players chosen when the Sky Castle was born and was the No. 1 player in terms of priests. It was no wonder her skill level was so high.
“What about Caina?”
[As much as I’ve built up years, I’ve evolved most of my skills, but…a skill is only useful when you use it. I think it’s important to manage things in context and not to have a high level.]
It was a thoroughly hands-on approach. Well, Caina was more focused on her own body and mana than on her skills…but Jung Si-woo thought it was all-important to become strong.
“Evolve, evolve…”
“You might be able to evolve your skills in the next year.”
“I know. Speaking of which, I think there are other means to evolve skills than reaching skill level 100.”
“What’s that… Ah.”
Soo Ah-rin, who was asking back with her head tilted, soon realized herself and expressed admiration. Yes, Jung Si-woo already had several evolved skills. They all evolved in different ways.
“Yes, critical bullet evolved by improving without increasing the skill level, and the Soul Force skill was from the power of the Setnak, and finally the Dragon Sense collected several essential ingredients…”
“If healing skills are general evolution, then critical bullies are sequence evolution, soul force evolution is capsule evolution, dragon sense is union evolution!”
“Stop that analogy.”
By the time Yong Se-ha’s head was properly flicked, Jung Si-woo had reached his target. No one noticed the phantom bike and Jung Si-woo’s group, who stopped smoothly without making any noise under the blue night sky. The phantom bike’s hiding function was developing as Jung Si-woo’s hiding skills grew.
“But I think they’re hiding pretty well over there, too….”
“No, I can see it.”
The biggest misunderstanding that most enemies had with Jung Si-woo was that they believed that they had such ridiculous power that senses fell short of it. But true strength didn’t come from mere force; it came from knowing when and where to use it. His senses had developed since childhood, and now he has the dragon sense.
It was obvious to Jung Si-woo exactly where he hid and what he was doing there.
“Of course, I understand how the gods invade us.”
Surely it was Jung Si-woo’s mistake to leave him so far. It should have ended at a time when the gods realized he had escaped man by his power. In other words, a good lesson had been learned. But it wouldn’t be too late now.
“Hold on tight.”
“Yes…whoops!?”
Soo Ah-rin freaked out and held on to his collar. The phantom bike tilted vertically and descended like a meteor. The front fender was reinforced to the fullest by Jung Si-woo’s mana, causing a strong current.
“Hah!?”
When the star hit the ground, Jung Si-woo hit Kim Ha-ryong in the head with a front fender. Kim Ha-ryong didn’t even know what he was beaten by because the concealment was maintained until he was hit.
“Oh, he’s not dead. As expected, his humanity has escaped.”
” Jung Si-woo…!”
Jung Si-woo intended to kill him with the Cruel Charge, but even though his head was hollowed out by more than half, Kim Ha-ryong immediately looked back and swung a sword at Jung Si-woo. A flame-stained sword flew into the air to burn Jung Si-woo and disappeared in vain as it was blocked by the hammer he pulled out. The power in his hammer absorbed the power of the flame god and reached the A+ Rank!
“Your flame is too weak.”
“Hey, you son of a…!”
“It’s nothing new, but you’ve been alive all this time because I kept you alive. You know that, right?
“Oppa, I think I’ve heard that before…you sound like a real villain.”
Jung Si-woo put the phantom bike into the inventory and looked around, swinging his hammer. They were deep in the mountains so that no one would know even if a few people died.
“Ha, that the likes of you would let me live…?”
“Seeing your shitty state, yes.”
“Ugh…”
At the nameless foot of Hallasan Mountain, Kim Ha-ryong created a gate in the air using his body as a material. Yes, he was becoming a vehicle for bringing those ruled by the Lord of Flames to descend to Earth. Would Kim Ha-ryong, who was once aiming for the world rankings for the role, be satisfied with the role of an extra? Jung Si-woo grinned and provoked him lightly.
“So, after the shrapnel of the gods, did you get any better off?”
“Huh!”
Still, was his mental state better than before? He had been charging with a noise that he didn’t know whether it was a whimper or a groan. Just before the two huge forces collided, flames burst out of his eyes like lasers but disappeared in vain due to the shield created by Soo Ah-rin.
“It’s not just his eyes, Oppa.”
“Yes, I know.”
“You took that innocent Ah-rin and…!”
“Ha.”
How come a cheap line pops up as soon as he opens his mouth? Jung Si-woo was almost admiring him now. Come to think of it, Kim Ha-ryong thought that Jung Si-woo was manipulating Ah-rin. He was a human being who denied the world itself if it didn’t work as he pleased.
“That’s not bad either…”
“No, that’s bad, isn’t it?”
He was sure he could cut down Jung Si-woo, with a faltering sword that had become larger than before by embracing and nurturing God’s power. He was confident that he could disperse those crude sparks with no use of his skills.
“Of course, he’s bad.”
That’s why Kim Ha-ryong’s world was over now!
“Go away!”
[You can’t do that!]
However, at the moment when the trajectory of Jung Si-woo’s hammer and Kim Ha-ryong’s dash completely overlapped, a huge forearm popped out of the open gate in the air to block Jung Si-woo’s hammer.
[At best, the door to Earth opened…]
A direct gate to the occupied area of Paeto made using the power planted in Kim Ha-ryong as an inducer. Among Paeto’s subordinates, an elite monster powerful enough for the Earth to accept had now come to Jeju Island!
[No one can stand in your way!]
“You know what?!”
However, Jung Si-woo didn’t care if someone blocked him or not and swung again. The hammer with terrible power completely smashed the forearm, trying to block it, and even clipped Kim Ha-ryong!
“Aghhhhhhhhhhaha!
[Guoooo!]
They didn’t die with one shot. Indeed, Caina, who killed Paira, was annoyed that the subordinates of the Flame God were persistent in life. But then he just had to hit harder and harder!
“Strong hit!”
Jung Si-woo screamed in pain and kept swinging. Superfluous body movement, fast speed, and accurate targeting! There was no time to mount a counterattack.
“You, this…no…”
[Crack…]
Once, twice, three times! They couldn’t get away with it at all. It was embarrassing to say that it was fast and strong. It was as if the Gods themselves smote them with a thunderbolt.
“All right, finish!”
A feast of beatings. At one moment, when he ignored all the noisy things around him and swung his hammer in a trance, a message popped up over Jung Si-woo’s retina.
[Level went up.]
Neither of them moved anymore. The experience came in two separate times, so both must be dead.
“Whoa.”
Jung Si-woo sighed, refreshed, and looked around. Monsters were already pouring out of the open gate, but Caina and Yong Se-ha were blocking them. That was why friendship is important. Being able to help others finish their enemies without caring about them in a situation where they almost missed them! He felt refreshed in his heart when he thought he would never hear Kim Ha-ryong’s name again.
“Alright, work it out.”
Jung Si-woo pressed Kim Ha-ryong’s body, which dried up, once more with the hammer to absorb the fragment of the god of flame that he had possessed, and as a result, the poison properties, which had been upgraded once again, reached A++.
On the other hand, the giant monster that appeared to protect Kim Ha-ryong…perhaps the red-skinned mammalian monster, had nothing special, but the mana stone was quite big.
“How could it be so easy….”
“Why should this be so difficult?”
“I know…you’re right.”
Soo Ah-rin was just staring at Kim Ha-ryong in disbelief, as she if couldn’t comprehend he had died in vain. Soon, she nodded at Jung Si-woo’s words. In the first place, Jung Si-woo had never thought highly of Kim Ha-ryong and waited calmly to confirm that he had turned to the other side of mankind. Like waiting for a day to throw away the burnable garbage. And he sorted it out in due courses, like loading garbage bags in a truck.
“I paid too much attention. He wasn’t even important.”
“All right, that’s fine. It’s a busy world to care about other important things, so you don’t have to remember every maggot-like this.”
Jung Si-woo, who completed the judgment that there was nothing to be recovered from Kim Ha-ryong’s body after harvesting the power of God, hit it again with a hammer and dusted it. Looking at it, Soo Ah-Rin neatly erased the memory of Kim Ha-ryong from her brain. It was a moment when the man who ruled her childhood absolutely but could never be with her disappeared completely.
“So now, more than that….”
[Master, I don’t think it’s enough to kill the medium, what are we going to do?]
“It’s good to kill a strong enemy that’s not on Earth right now, so what?”
It was time to think of the earth as a park downstairs and step on the monsters who came to play.
