Chapter 81
‘You really managed to endure that pain…’
Derek felt it himself while handling the medicine…
The heart of the ghost king has a poisonous effect that is different from that of other medicines.
It didn’t just mean that it was poisonous.
‘In terms of poison it would be stronger than the poison of a wild bird.’
A legendary bird said to be possessed of self-sufficiency.
It is said that the poison is so powerful and terrible that there is no way to detoxify it. In the original world it was a legendary poison that was only recorded in history books but in this world there is a real omen…
I actually know where the habitat is…
However even though Derek knew the habitat he did not dare to obtain it.
Difficulty of acquisition: ‘Unknown·’
If you try to get it you will most likely die so how can you get it?
And the ghost king’s heart is as strong as that burden or even stronger…
Actually it wouldn’t have been right to just eat that…
So I tried to take the medicine in a way that would reduce the drug’s effectiveness as much as possible but I never dreamed that he would take the medicine as soon as he passed out without even waiting.
Even though I left the words in a tone of asking people to wait…
···but·
‘But if you endured it that alone means a lot…’
Derek knows…
Just by consuming the unmeasurable grade elixir without any expedients new characteristics can be created.
‘I won the fight against that vicious weakness… The proof is that I absorbed all of the weakness in just one or two hours and if that’s the case then it’s clear…’
Originally it was planned to ingest it in a safer way including anesthetic substances but he ended up absorbing the drug by fighting the pain with his whole body.
This was an achievement that could be proudly claimed as an ‘achievement’.
‘[A person who is patient] and [A person who enjoys pain] · [One who enjoys pain] · One of these characteristics must have been created right?’
‘The [poison resistance] level would definitely have increased…’
‘···The levels of other characteristics may also have increased!’
I wonder if my expectations are too high but on the other hand I could say this…
Surviving the ‘pain of leap’ is such an amazing thing…
Derek’s body trembled involuntarily as he guessed how steep his growth curve would have been.
It was a thrill of anticipation…
‘Level 7 characteristics would not have increased because they are on a different level from level 8… But just having a new characteristic and raising the level of other characteristics is a huge achievement!’
Adding characteristics has a different meaning from simply increasing skills.
That person’s upward growth means that his or her potential has become infinitely deeper…
To put it in the instructor’s way he is no different from receiving the [Bee Moses Water].
“···If we do well we might reach level 8 within this year…”
[Auror User] [Demon Sword User] or [Successor of the Black King] etc.
Those who have reached Lv·9·Lv·10 are monsters out of the world and do not move their bodies easily as if they are secluded so they can be called ‘Gods’ who just quietly watch the royal family from the mountains and the sky.
In other words they are literally living breathing strategic weapons that do not move unless under extreme circumstances.
On the other hand from the ‘Lv·8 warriors’ unlike such monsters they are like mountain kings who actively seek royalties and reign as a symbol of fear and power…!
‘Although their strength is not absolute they are the ones who can fight and defeat a thousand knights alone…’
Ikkitousen·
A ridiculous top-tier hero class that can single-handedly change the course of the battlefield and even turn defeat into victory!
It would be no exaggeration to say so…
And the ‘weakened demon king’ I saw the day before was level 8…
‘···If it were in normal condition it would have been level 9 or 9·5…’
In any case it is an undeniable fact that even if he is level 8 he is at the highest level among the same level.
So I’m looking forward to it…
The difference of one level is absolute…
But isn’t there a knight in front of you who overcame the level gap and fought against the highest level Lv. 8 boss monster?
‘It’s still like this but what if that person really reaches level 8…?’
If you do well…
‘Level 9 and Makgara… Could there be a level 8 capable of PvP?’
Derek looked at the instructor with anticipation for the future that has yet to come.
I wonder how much he will grow…
* * *
‘-It’s light?’
The body is light·
It’s not just light it’s a lightness that makes you feel like you’re back in your childhood.
Why aren’t there times like that?
I was a teenager when my body was so light that even though I ran and ran my knees didn’t hurt and were still fresh. No matter how hard I rolled I was fine the next day.
That’s the state of my body right now…
Phew!
Lee Han was surprised lightly floating his body in the air.
I only lightly kicked the ground but I think I jumped a whopping 50cm.
How high can you jump if you jump with all your might?
wickedness!
A light kick cuts through the air…
It was not an idiom but it truly sounded like a knife cutting through the air.
Now I feel like I can easily cut a piece of paper in half with my foot.
It was a talent he couldn’t do originally…
‘I wasn’t very good at delicate things…’
I don’t know if it was his shallow talent or lack of inclination but he had no confidence in delicate techniques.
He has a tendency to apply his techniques in a very delicate manner relying only on his senses… That is because he lacks the theoretical part his techniques tend to be quite simple.
However the capabilities of technology which had always been lacking have suddenly increased making detailed and sophisticated movements possible.
If he was the original he would have practiced 100 times and learned a skill in one go that would have made him successful once.
‘What the hell is this?’
If I were to explain exactly what happened to my body there are two main things:
One is the body that has become lighter as if the old man had been rejuvenated as a boy.
It’s not just light it’s a feeling of vitality that may be ten times greater than that of a teenager.
This must be a physical condition that far exceeds the level before the injury.
And the second is elaborate…
Until now when I used my body I just used it haphazardly but now I have something called sophistication.
It’s just a guess but I thought the delicate part may have been resolved as the body’s potential increased.
‘Is it because my body became so healthy that I stopped using my brain unnecessarily?’
Originally there would have been a lot of trial and error and a sweaty process of organizing theories but now that my healthy body has become healthier and more powerful I have the delicacy of technique that ignores even theory…
It’s luck but what happened…
‘Oh you shouldn’t do this…’
It seemed like ignorance was growing more and more…
‘···I’m so nervous about this…’
Even if I just made a leap didn’t I almost end up putting on a show by myself and end up in trouble?
Lee Han was reluctant to have this kind of experience in the future and wanted to use his brain.
But my body is getting better and I don’t think I’ll need to use my brain any more in the future…
“Should I at least study now?”
I wonder if my IQ will increase if I read at least a book…
Lee Han didn’t want to be called ignorant or uneducated.
“Oh my dear…”
Lee Han sighed feeling full saying that it would be a problem if his body got too good.
‘And even if it gets better…’
···I can’t even use it…
Lee Han looked at his still unresponsive clone and put on a sad smile different from before.
Even the demon king cannot cure the incurable disease caused by the curse…
‘Even a monk wouldn’t be this quiet…’
A sorrowful melancholy was visible in my eyes…
* * *
“···Instructor do you feel something is different?”
The boy who had been waiting quietly for a while to check on his condition asked what condition he was in and Lee Han shook his head.
“It couldn’t be better…”
“···What do you mean by that?”
“Hmm let me show you in detail now-·”
Suddenly…
“It has become so good that something like this is possible…”
“···?”
Perhaps it was the curiosity of an alchemist but he was very curious about what changes his body had undergone and Lee Han willingly listened to the wishes of his prospective assistant(?) and gave a demonstration in person.
Wood which is believed to be leftover materials from decorating the workshop.
The guy’s eyes widen as he shows me lightly cutting one of the pieces of wood.
Cutting wood isn’t that difficult but…
“Did you just cut it with your hand?”
“I did it with my thumb and index finger and instead of cutting it I hollowed it out. Why do you dig up something like wood with a chisel? That’s the principle…”
“… So how does that happen?”
“···well?”
“····”
It may seem like I’m making fun of you but I had no choice but to explain it this way…
All that can be explained is that the fine movements and controls that were previously impossible were now about 5 times more sensitive than before.
“And something like this could work…”
Lee Han lightly threw his fist into the air as if he couldn’t explain it but could demonstrate as much as he wanted but unlike the light punch…
Paang!
“···??”
The results were not light…
Sosim was bruised again.
now····
“Did you hit something 40 to 30 paces away? ···Power alone!?”
“That’s right originally I could only hit things from ten paces away but now I can hit things from thirty paces.”
“···Why does that happen?”
“That’s right…”
Baekbo Shinwon·
In the past when it was first introduced in Vulkan it was a fighting method that could only hit objects within a ten-step range but now it is different again.
Thirty paces…
Now he could hit objects thirty paces away and even destroy them.
There are a lot of things that can be broken now so swing lightly but if you swing properly you will be able to hit even an assassin targeting him from afar with a pistol.
And not only Hundred Treasures Divine Fist but countless other skills would have been upgraded in this way…
‘I think I can do the Guan Ilchang three times in a row now and I think I can use the Plum Blossom Sword technique twice in a row…’
That’s what the delicacy of technology is…
You will stop wasting unnecessary power and you will be able to use your power efficiently and cleverly.
So I think…
In my current state I think it’s worth fighting the Demon King alone…
Even if there is no help from others like the day before…
‘It’s ironic…’
By consuming the heart of the Demon King you become equal to the Demon King…
It’s ironic but I think this is the law of the fittest.
Winner takes all
The winner takes everything
As long as he survives he is the winner.
‘It’s not the one who is strong who wins… It’s the one who laughs last who wins…’
And now Lee Han seemed to be able to completely shake off the helplessness he felt during the monster subjugation battle the previous day.
Because he died and became his food and disappeared…
So Lee Han smiled with satisfaction…
“Look carefully I don’t know if I can do it but I’m just giving it a try…”
“Yes?”
“…is it going to happen…?”
A performance of joy was shown.
-widely·
“···Ah this works…”
“····”
“How do you feel? “It’s quite an interesting sight hehe.”
“····”
···Derek couldn’t answer his bright question and just blanked out…
No I wondered if what he saw was reality…
‘Huh a walk in the middle of nowhere?!’
Derek was completely lost this time as he watched him climb up the empty space like he was climbing stairs.
What is this…
‘Could it be that this person is not a person from the same country as me but a reincarnation of a true martial artist?’
I think he might be the former head of Shaolin.
It couldn’t help but be more reasonable that way so Derek was lost for a moment…
