Chapter 259

#259

Playing tag (1)

An indoor training facility created just for me.

Kikigikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk-

There was a lot of heat rising there along with an unusual metallic sound.

Rattling— coo!

“Whoosh whoosh—!”

And after completing another routine with the sound of something heavy hitting the floor, I looked down at my sweaty, steaming body and let out a quiet exclamation.

“Is this great? “It may be only a small portion of the total, but it is still at this level...”

While expressing my admiration, I looked down at the exercise equipment I had just been using and frowned slightly.

The handle was slightly dented and twisted, as if he was not yet in control of his strength.

“Hmm, I guess I’ll need something sturdier too.”

The common equipment available on the market was not suitable for an adept to train his body.

Of course, due to its characteristics, its basic strength was very strong, but that was only accepted by the general public.

‘At this point, I guess I’ll just have to replace everything with Howard’s handmade products. ‘It was good because I was making various things to practice handling the newly acquired materials.’

This sudden growth of the main body was caused by the『Unique Skill Enhancement (1300000)』 performed right before sending Hugo to the Kang Hwan World.

Actually, at first I had no intention of sending Hugo there.

It was very versatile and was good at various chores, so it was very comfortable to have next to the main unit, and since I was going to a new dimension, I wanted to select a new avatar and dispatch it with a new feeling.

‘As long as the number of avatars didn’t increase not only in the 1.3 million version, but also in the subsequent 1.4 million version.’

What I thought would happen went astray one after another, and in the end, I had to let Hugo go in exchange for gaining two unexpected abilities.

The first was the derived ability of “Individual Projection” that was currently strengthening his body.

This is different from “object projection,” which completely overwrites a single entity’s information, and borrows a certain portion of the avatar’s power. There is no clear cooldown, so it could be maintained all day long under normal circumstances when power consumption is not significant. .

‘You can say that a constant reinforcement passive skill has been added. The most amazing thing is that the target avatar is not limited to one object at a time like in “object projection.”

It was safe to say that it was a deceptive ability, but the unfortunate thing was that the total amount of power that could be borrowed was far less than the complete “Individual Projection.”

‘But abilities can be developed somehow. If additional reinforcements are added and proficiency becomes higher, maybe...’

Maybe.

Using Hans’ dark magic, Heinrich’s divine power, Harley’s physical ability, and even blood magic and elemental magic at the same time—such a terrible hybrid could be born.

Of course, it will take quite a long time for that to happen.

‘Plus, the other abilities are quite useful.’

The problem was his karma balance, which he never thought would dry up so quickly.

There were about 2 million points left after making the Gold Dragon Hatchling Horus.

After that, there was a surge during the Zephyr Republic incident, and thanks to straws being planted here and there, the number rose again to just over 3 million...

‘With this, we’re starting from the bottom again.’

The points needed for the next reinforcement are 1.5 million.

No matter how many karma straws are stuck here and there like pensions, there is the ‘elixir of growth’, which is constant spending, so unless something major happens, it is a figure that will take quite a long time to achieve.

“Well, since when did I worry about that?”

I was the one who collected over 10 million points when others were struggling with just 1 million.

To me, karma was just something that naturally accumulated when you did what you had to do.

‘Let’s see. Kang Hwan-gye’s side, which has been roughly finished, is now taking a breather...’

My attention turned again to my garden, Outerica.

***

Even while I was worrying about Kang Hwan-gye for a while, Outerica’s time went by steadily.

Avatars who build a foundation by training and performing tasks in their respective positions.

And among them, there was one person who showed particularly violent behavior recently.

“Ugh....”

“Sigh—ha surrender! “I surrender!”

“Khahahaha—! Where did the initial enthusiasm go? Is this enough to prove it? Now, everyone else, don’t hesitate and come in at once! Kahaha!”

Dozens of people collapsed on the floor and groaning, and a giant man stood in the middle of them, clutching a man’s head and laughing majestically.

Those surrounding them, each holding a weapon, swallowed dry saliva without even realizing it.

That has to be the case.

It was only natural that the ones sprawled out there like drunken homeless people were the best warriors in the village, and the one who was crying out for surrender while holding his head in the hands of a giant was the chief of their tribe and the strongest warrior in the nearby region.

“Yes? What else is there? Don’t hesitate and come in! It definitely seems like the most fun place I’ve ever been to. “Now, let’s see if the robot tribe can claim to be the best in Calcos!”

“Hehehe, you cheeky speck. How dare you invade this body’s territory? “No matter how much you fly or crawl, it’s no use to me.”

With a cruel smile on his face, he mercilessly attacked the stain without blood or tears—.

Finally, it disappeared from this world without even leaving a trace.

“Hehehe....”

Just like he was in the past.

“.......”

His body, lying on the floor, froze in an instant.

Normally, I would have gotten up right away and moved on to the next task.

For some reason, my mind was so confused now that I couldn’t do anything.

And how much time has passed?

“Simon~? Are you still cleaning?”

A woman suddenly heard... The man’s body stiffened at the sound of the master’s voice.

However, after going through countless training sessions, his body was already acting according to its survival instinct without even realizing it.

“Huh! Yes yes! master! Did you call me! “I’m leaving now!”

“Really. “Why is it so bitter that it exploded so slowly?”

A man came running towards me and fell face down on the floor.

However, Siana glanced at him with a displeased look and clicked her tongue lightly.

Then, he stepped on the back of Simon Carte Azerion, the former crown prince of the Azerion Empire, who was lying on the ground, with his pointed heel, and continued speaking in a soft voice.

“Simon, is it because there is no corporal punishment these days? Or did you rather want this? huh?”

“Ugh! Oh no. master! “I... Ugh!”

“Huh~ I guess that’s true. You accept corporal punishment as a reward. Have you ever seen such a disgusting slave? Phew.”

Red face and rapid breathing.

Simon buried his half-dissolved face on the floor and trembled.

He looked so damaged that it was impossible to even imagine that he was now the crown prince of the empire.

Grumbling—

a moment when the two were having a great time.

“...This?”

Suddenly, the immortality shook slightly with a slight vibration.

It was so subtle that it was difficult for an ordinary person to notice, but as an immortal military officer in name, she could definitely feel it.

“Is the king... happy?”

However, even she could not figure out the reason.

Siana, who was pulling the whip string tightly, slightly tilted her head.

“Ugh... Master....”

“Ah.”

At that time, a painful moan escaped from beneath her feet.

‘Well, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing, so I guess it doesn’t matter.’

If anything happens, the king will let you know.

Even if she thought about it before, there was nothing she could do, so Sianna decided to just focus on the present.

A sadistic smile formed on her lips.

The whip, which had rested for a moment, split the air again.

***

Immortality at heart.

The Immortal King’s personal research workshop.

[Hehehe—finally.]

Hans, who was enveloped in darkness in the center, let out a low laugh.

The immortality was shaking slightly in response to his emotions, but he was in no mood to worry about such trivial things right now.

To be exact, I felt so good that I didn’t even think about such things.

[Gotcha...this guy.]

Finally.

Because the fairly long game of tag is starting to come to an end.

Ugh—

the small piece of metal in Hans’ hand vibrated slightly.
