19 < How to become stronger 18 Degrees (1) >

With the guidance of Kumho, a sightseeing tour called the Ruins Invasion began.

“Hey! Slow down! My butt hurts!”

I was on the back of the gills. Kumho was excited because I was riding on his back.

I think I'm going to get my ass kicked.

“Grrr.”

Whether you understood me or not, Kumho slowed down.

That's better.

“Good. Just this speed. ”

Kumho growled again, feeling better about my compliments.

There's no such thing as a real giant cat.

Even the traps that must have been quite a hassle.

If you encounter a monster by mistake, the monsters who should be prepared to resist desperation won't even look at Kumho.

It's so comfy.

It was literally a tour.

Wonderful architecture and mysterious structures captivate my eyes.

It's similar to how it felt when I went on my first trip to the race.

“Grrr.”

The clever Kumho also stopped walking as if I were focusing on looking somewhere more closely.

The more I look at him, the more attractive he is.

If I hadn't chopped up my body like this, I would have loved it.

Of course, given that, it's getting prettier and prettier.

He's charming, he's articulate, he's smart.

“· · · · · · Real first encounter in Okay-Tine. ”

“Phew · · · ·. ”

In my murmur, Kumho turns his neck and looks at me with his pathetic eyes.

The look of apology.

I smiled bitterly.

“It's okay.”

I stroked my back.

Even though the wound is still sore, you must have some boiling pure blood.

It'll be completely healed by tomorrow.

“Let's go quickly. ”

“Grrr.”

How much time has passed.

I've arrived at the room where the ancient artifact is kept.

A giant stone sword sits on top of a sacred altar reminiscent of the Temple.

Now you can put that sword in a special equipment carrier carrying a blinding gauntlet and go, but that's it · · · · ·.

“· · · · · · Too much? ”

We have a problem.

The sword is too big.

It seems to be more than 10 meters long.

Of course, I knew in advance that this sword was huge.

There was a scene in this temple where the protagonist looked at the stone sword and was amazed.

But I didn't say it was this big.

What the hell.

This is a huge stone sword from nowhere.

A very large pillar.

Not the size to enter the absolute carrier.

“Kumho, can you put me down? ”

“Grrr.”

I climbed off the back of the golden lagoon and came closer to the altar.

It's bigger from up close.

There are two options.

The first, of course, is to go back and prepare a carrier the size of which this equipment can be moved.

Ask him to prepare it in a week.

In this case, you can keep one piece of equipment.

The second way to do this is to wear the stone for one minute here.

The advantage of this is that you get race traits immediately.

I was troubled.

I quickly came to a conclusion.

“Let's just write it now. ”

If that stone wasn't so big, I would have taken it with me, but that stone is too big.

It's hard to sneak it in.

As long as I don't have a way to handle a 10-meter longsword, I'm more likely to be a fan complex than this Black Joker card.

On top of that, when all these reasons are addressed, it is better to get one more characteristic right now than to be cared about pooping.

“Good.”

I was determined.

All that's left now is action.

I slowly walked to the altar.

“Please give me a good character. ”

You grab a giant stone sword more than 10 metres in length.

· · · · · · About a minute later.

I got a new faction trait.

“What's the nature of this? ”

It doesn't match any of the characteristics of the Demibeast I know at all.

Unidentified nature.

This is unexpected.

* * *

Two men and women were having a serious conversation on the grounds of the Korean superintendent's military school, in the room of instructor Pijinho.

“I can't believe it. ”

“But it's true. Brother.”

One was, of course, the owner of the room, Pidgin Lake.

The other one was an emulsion.

“Shin-woo Kim. No, the supper was a villain from the Savior of Truth. ”

“I know. And the evidence is clear.”

A moment ago, Yoohwa showed a video to Pidgin Lake.

It was CCTV footage of live conversations and combat scenes during the battle with Yuhua.

“· · · · · · 20 years. He's been wearing a mask for 20 years. This is creepy.”

What happens if he doesn't notice that he's a villain?

‘I don't even want to imagine. ’

Pidgin Lake struggled.

“So, brother. Let me get this straight. I need a favor. ”

“You're asking me to keep this case quiet. ”

“That's my brother. That's right."

He sighed.

“One instructor has no power. ”

“Funny. There's no one on the floor who doesn't know the Peacekeeper network. ”

He snorted.

“I don't know what price I'll get next time I ask you for one favor. It's not like you don't know that. ”

“I know. I know. But this case must never go public. ”

He said with a resolved face.

“You know that. He's not just anyone else. He's the savior of the truth. We're all a bunch of bluffers, and they've been hiding out in the unmarried guild for 20 years. If this gets out, what do you think will happen to the unmarried guild? ”

“· · · · · · An incompetent guild will be framed. ”

“I'm glad that's all. At the end of the day, the unmarried guild will say," Isn't the guild an inside job? "Whatever happens, the unmarried guild is over. ”

That is why we must bury this incident at all costs.

“I understand. ”

He nods as if he can't help it.

“I'll help you. But you'll have to pay for it yourself. ”

“Of course!”

Eucalyptus swept my chest.

As long as Lake Pidgin helps us, we won't have to go to the Superhuman Management Association.

Of course, it pains me to repay the debt to my acquaintances of Lake Pidgin later, but it is hundreds of millions of times better than the destruction of the guild.

“He's the only real brother. Thank you so much!”

Eugene hugged me.

He said, avoiding such an oil painting.

“You don't call me when you need something. ”

“Oh, I send you a message every year on Chinese New Year. ”

Pidgin Lake has been cleared.

“· · · · · · · · If you are referring to the group message, cancel it to help. ”

The oil flickered.

“Ah, ah. When I think about it, I think I forgot to write it down and send it. ”

He rolls his eyes and desperately makes excuses. He smiled.

“Never mind. What do I want from you? ”

“Hehe.”

The relationship is quite special.

Since Yuhua's father led the unmarried guild, she's now like family.

Of course, not many people know about it.

“Anyway, brother, thank you so much!”

In front of other people, a clumsy, cold-hearted emulsifier, snorting and even flirting.

“It was a close call. Glad it all worked out. ”

“Yeah. Lucky me. ”

I was really lucky.

Who knew being in a gambling den that day would have consequences like this?

This is all because of the Book of Genesis.

Although there were still many questions, he decided that he was not the enemy.

‘At first, I thought maybe it was a masquerade to deceive me. ’

But it wasn't.

Even if the Doppelgänger is a throwaway, there is no way to throw away a supper that has been hidden for 20 years.

For other reasons.

The Book of Revelation concluded that at least he was not a member of the Savior of the Truth.

“Oh.”

By the way, the Lecture rate was a freshman class of Pidgin Lake.

He wants to know how he sees the Gangseo rate.

“Brother, do you have any expectations of the future in your class these days, or any outstanding cadets? ”

“· · · · · · I wonder who's the guild leader. Why, if you're so eager for talent, you should have accepted the request for a speech. ”

“You know what my situation was. Are you upset?”

Lake Pidgin smiled slightly.

“So what do you want to hear? You don't want to hear about known prospects like Shinjia or Hashiyeon. ”

There was a debris flow from the eyes of Lake Pidgin.

“The Book of Revelations?”

The shoulders of the oil fluttered.

“· · · · · · · · How did you know? ”

“I've seen you since you were in kindergarten. You don't even know your lines. ”

“Why are you talking about the old days again? Anyway, Gangseo Cadet. What does it look like to you? ”

The view of Lake Pidgin is excellent.

It does not just mean that his characteristic 'mystical eye’ is outstanding.

Literally has a natural talent for identifying people.

“I can see that you're talking about the Book of Genesis. I think you're paying attention, too. ”

“Well, I'm not sure yet. ”

“Not yet?”

“Yes, not yet. ”

The book of Revelations is most likely to have 'owner of weapons’.

However, I am not 100% sure yet.

“I wonder if the results of this ranking match will be clear. ”

“Huh? Ranking Battle? Did you get the G.P. ranking? When?”

Oil flashed my eyes.

“The day after tomorrow. ”

* * *

The weekend was quick.

Today is Monday.

This is the day of the first-grade ranking battle.

“· · · · · · · Many came. ”

Maybe it's the first fight.

There are quite a lot of people filling the stadium for the upcoming competition in 498th and 497th place.

“Five minutes to go. Check the equipment one last time. ”

“It's the same training equipment. There's nothing to check. ”

497th place yawned and rebuked.

The tension is not as intense as this.

“Isn't that right? 498th place? ”

My eyes are filled with laughter.

Who's laughing at 497th place?

“You nervous? Don't get too nervous. I'll make sure he doesn't get hurt. ”

It looks very confident.

No, it's not that I don't understand.

That 497th place is the mid-level with health and durability.

My weakness is my ability to completely counter low attack and low quality health.

If it had been me in the last week, I could never have won.

If it were me before I raided the Ruins.

“Do you fight with words? It's been noisy for a while. Agari Fighter.”

I was scolded in the ear. 497th place is firm.

“Shut up and check the equipment. Don't make excuses about losing equipment later. ”

“· · · · · · This motherfucker. ”

I can't believe you got caught up in such a cheap taunt. He's pathetic.

“Yes. Certainly superhumans speak with their fists. You're fucked, motherfucker. ”

What a cute insult.

Did you call that a taunt, too?

“They say you look weak if you talk too loud. Is that why you look so weak? ”

“This is really crazy. ”

It was then.

“Time! Return to your post, both of you! ”

It's time.

“You really are a mess. ”

“Oh, I'm scared. ”

497th turned to look fearfully.

“Then I'll start the ranking war. ”

Along with the referee's horse, the translucent dome and magical field were spread across the stadium.

Safety Mode is set with this.

[5 seconds before the start of the ranking war.]

At the same time, a hologram appeared in the air.

[4, 3, 2, 1]

497th place is Longsword.

I pulled out my dagger and grabbed it.

[Start!]

At that moment, my vision changed.

The path of the wind unfolded.

The opposing Pokémon is surprisingly calm.

I thought the fever was rising, and I was coming at you like an angry bison right after it started.

Beware of my strange dagger.

That won't change a thing.

I lowered my posture with a light smile.

I got two race traits on Saturday.

One of the characteristics could not be identified.

It doesn't match all of the characteristics I was aware of.

Thanks to that, I had to work on my traits all Sunday.

It wasn't until Sunday at midnight that I was able to understand my new traits.

I grabbed the dagger and rushed to 497.

I feel a familiar red wind.

Opponent's movement.

The way I have to go.

My dagger must go.

It all condenses and looks like a red wind.

“At that rate! ”

One step to the right.

Twist your torso.

The dagger is slashed at an angle.

Keystrokes!

The Longsword flows down on the Dagger.

“What!”

The target is completely defenseless with this short gesture.

However, the embarrassing color disappeared quickly.

I know.

Even if a hole is revealed now, my strength can't be fatal to me.

But today I am different from what I was last week.

I took a deep breath.

At that moment, there was a subtle tingling sensation in my pupils.

Stink-

I feel a tingling sensation on the tattooed area of my thigh.

My whole body is full of fur, and my whole body is bursting with invisible energy.

Peeing-!

It was strength.

A predator's unique flesh that preys on prey.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

This kill directly solidifies the entire body like a herbivore standing in front of a predator.

As a result, the durability of the opposing Pokémon drops sharply for a short time.

I immediately stabbed the dagger.

As the wind tells us.

As soon as your body moves.

Like a tooth in the neck of a helpless herbivore.

Phew!

Results.

I hear a delicate breeding sound as the dagger pierces the flesh.

“Rrrrgh!”

Followed by the tearing screams of 497th.

Fluffy...

Finally, with the sound of something falling to the ground, you hear the sound of judgment rushing in.

Success.

“· · · · · · · Phew. ”

This is a characteristic of the Demibeast I got this time.

A peer family trait that can emit ferocious powers unique to Demibeasts.

I don't know his name.

There is no status window, and there is no way to know the name because it is not a characteristic I read in a novel.

But here's what I'm calling it.

"Predatory flesh."

Go.

“Ranking Battle Over! Winner! ”

“Oh!”

I was victorious.
