Paper 177 Enlightenment
Lee Hee-yeon did not stay in the hospital for long.
The trauma has already been treated, and the internal injuries have recovered up to 99%. It didn’t make sense with her common sense, but it seemed like anything was possible with Jihoo.
After the aftereffect test and examination, he was discharged immediately.
‘I can’t forget that feeling.’
Not sure what that is.
However, I could see that it was a sub-special ability of [Super Sense] that she possessed. In the infinitely slowing time, she contemplated the stopped world.
That feeling is still vivid.
There, she too could not move freely. However, the moment she made the will to split the world – split time and cut that – her body was moving alone in the stopped world.
It felt like my whole body would be torn apart.

It was a wriggling movement, but the immense pressure pressing on her was the worst pain she had ever suffered.
But he also got used to it.

The world splits apart too.
I knew then.
This is the world of [transfer] called level 10. A miracle itself that cannot be broken by laws limited to physics.

speed was added.
Apart from being simply fast, the speed in each second became twice the speed. In the blink of an eye, we had already reached the end.
The dagger Jihoo made in his hand had turned to powder. In the meantime, I also wanted him to make a dagger out of adamantium.
Her body then shattered.
Cerberus’ neck was also split.
She has reached power level 10.
“After- not enough yet.”
enlightenment.
Is it like this?
In an instant, her power level jumped. His body is weak, so he can’t even imitate the ‘slash’ at that time, but when he activates this ability named [Time Split], his speed and senses are amplified in an unreasonable way.
Can’t use it for long
‘But one second outside becomes tens of seconds to me.’
That’s long enough.
Now, Lee Hee-yeon’s job is to develop this ability, strengthen her body through mastery, and get used to the ability itself.
And you have to get a new weapon. I decided to ask Ji-yeol or Ji-hoo. Since she played a large part in the Cerberus hunt this time, he was able to fully pay for the cost.
If anything, it would be nice to have a ‘sword’ that could be used even after the 11th floor. The reason she used the dagger so far was because of the movement, but now the length and movement are greatly restricted.
[Super sense] can be raised beyond the limit, and I don’t know what kind of power it is, but I could hardly feel the weight of the weapon in the time stopped like a miracle.
theoretically.
So, according to common sense, it should have been impossible to move a single body, and it should have been difficult to hold a dagger.
But it wasn’t.
It was a bit difficult, but I quickly got used to it and cut through time with a speed and power that even I couldn’t control.
What if it was a sword rather than a dagger?
A much more effective attack would be possible.
She returned to the streets and armed herself for training. If possible, in order to move with a sword this time, he did pick up a training sword.
at that time.
-Wheeying!
The siren sounded.
She said that it was good and held up the [Bleeding Dagger] she used before. It’s because the weapon I usually use in practice is better.
she went out This will break after a few uses, but it’s not bad for training.
keying-
The crack opened faster than before.
And the demon stuck his head. There were monsters, and there were also strong demons. There weren’t any special objects I’d seen before, but there were kids who were at least level 8 and up to level 10.
however.
‘It’s not scary at all.’
Rather, it seemed lighter.
No, it looked easy.
Their movements were clearly visible to both eyes, and her body moved lightly as if it had never been in so much pain.
Sugeok-
ability was not manifested.
Even so, at least one monster was not difficult. It was literally a [transfer].
And [Time Split] was activated.
I tried weakly. It was meant to be controlled and it was difficult, but the world slowed down to a level that wasn’t bad.
Her mind and body could move freely within it. Maybe it’s because it wasn’t as extreme as before?
It wasn’t difficult.
Wow!
Her dagger cut the demon’s throat.
I didn’t specifically pull out the aura blade, and it didn’t contain any special magic. However, this kind of power comes out in a relatively extreme time.
Heeyeon Lee laughed.
Yes, I won’t be a burden anymore.

Kim Mi-ji had a lot of realizations during the recent real battle. In particular, a lot of changes occurred while visiting the artifacts Jihoo made, exploring ruins that I had never imagined until now, and visiting the 8th and 11th floors of the Unbreakable Tower.
The most important thing was the experience.
It was an ‘experience’.
Witnessed the power of Hyeonmu, suffered curses, and witnessed the flames of hell. In the meantime, various monsters and phenomena were woven into one theory in her head.
‘It’s not enough yet.’
She was studying 6-star magic.
It was only recently that it had reached 5 stars, but even then it was already theoretically complete. While going through actual combat these days, I used my body and mind to the limit, and while doing so, I was able to learn 5-star magic that was only theoretical.
So I studied 6 stars.
Right now, the magic she uses was to make 6 stars by combining 5 stars, and it was to create a 7 star power with the power of the artifact.
I was literally doing a ‘crowd’.
‘But it’s not enough, there’s no time to rest.’
Originally, she wanted to enter the Magic Tower.
Well, among the wizards, there is probably no one who does not want to enter the Mage Tower, become a formal disciple, and go through the teaching process.
It was one of the few opportunities to access advanced magic of 7 stars or higher, and it was also a way to stand on top of money, honor, and tremendous power.
But now it’s a little different.
‘To go to the Mage Tower, the theory must come first no matter what.’
You have to sit still and dig the theory all day, 365 days a year. The only real combat was standing in a controlled training ground and using magic.
You can’t live on a battlefield like that.
Where will you rob ruins, annihilate the undead, and fight ridiculous monsters like Cerberus?
Besides this artifact.
‘This is the only thing that is hard to see even in the Mage Tower.’
The line was very good.
Kim Mi-ji had to struggle not to be a nuisance to Shin Ji-hoo, and it wasn’t bad for her either. Rather, it was an opportunity to sharpen my skills.
Thanks to that, couldn’t he directly use and analyze the [Salting of Hell], which can only be studied at 7 stars.
[Chloride] was a great power.
‘Lee Jeok, from 7 stars onwards, you have enough stability to call it Lee Jeok-‘
she dug in
Deeper and deeper, towards a single ray of light.
It became her realization.
Theories and experiences, phenomena and sharpness gained from over 20 years of devotion to magic. It all became a tower and lifted her high.
She had fully mastered the Six Stars that day and was able to see parts of the Seven Stars. Then the siren went off and I had to go outside for the streets, but I wanted this time.
“I’ll show you the real chlorine.”
I vowed to burn them all.
Of course, by the time she went out, many demons had already had their heads cut and their heads pierced.

Jihoo hunted demons.
It was an easy crack. The problem was that it was assumed that this crack was caused by the square pyramid.
So I had no choice but to consume SP.
This is dangerous stuff.
That’s why the power of the system was needed.
『Demon King Castle Summoning Stone [Gate] [Legend] [Lv. 10]』
: A type of dimensional gate that can summon the Demon King of the 23rd Demon Realm. If some power flows out, a crack may occur, and in order to complete the summoning of the demon king, the summoning stone must be leveled up to 15.
“… … crazy.”
The level was only 10, so the SP consumption was not large. In addition, 30,000 SP came in for appraising [Legend], so it’s rather a gain.
But the problem was the identity of this object.
“It’s not something I can handle alone.”
The thing itself was the problem.
Jihoo immediately went to see Miyeon’s aunt.
“You got your feelings~?”
“Yes, but… … You should take a look.”
Jihoo handed out an appraisal.
She glanced over the appraisal and nodded as if she knew that.
“It was this.”
“What happen?”
“You know Nocturne, right?”
“yes.”
“It was this altar that you supervised, Kiskov assisted, and several large corporations cooperated. It was made in the North Pole, and dozens of S-class heroes rushed in and managed to destroy the altar and take it out.”
Jihoo nodded.
If this is the case, it’s worth it.
But why did you bother to summon it?
“Nocturne is a group of fanatics who worship the god of the other world, and that god is [the devil]. It means that the demon king in the demon world’s castle is the demon king who was eaten by that demon.”
“… … ?”
something complicated
But to put it simply, it means that the devil took the place by devouring the devil, and the organization called Nocturne serves the devil.
“Well, where do I start the story?”
Aunt Miyeon spoke slowly, in a tone that looked somewhat serious, not with a long, elongated tone like before.
“Soon the war will begin.”
“War?”
“Yeah, even if we keep blocking like this, we can’t wipe out all the fanatics. No matter how much our eyes are everywhere, a bunch of fanatics who are tougher than cockroaches. So, there are too many people who want eternal life even if they sell their souls to the devil.”
eternal life.
it’s a sweet word
However, if the subject who handed it over was the devil, the words would be different.
“We are not waiting for that war, we will bring it.”
“yes?”
“The analysis is that if we summon them from a place that is hard to reach like the North Pole and slowly build up our strength, we will become one nation. Like the demonic castle [Pandemonium] that already exists on our Earth.”
“Yes.”
“So we will use this gate and open the gate directly where we want. And to prevent them from getting a seat, and eventually to enter the gate in reverse and catch the devil… … I am planning.”
Jihoo nodded.
In a way, that’s a good idea.
It is common knowledge on the battlefield that it is far better to aim for our throats while we are visible than for enemies to aim for our throats from invisible places.
The question is, why us?
“Aunt Miyeon wants to be the main one.”
“That’s it. Because if we don’t, nobody will. No, in a way, there are not many organizations that can stop it even if they know.”
“Why?”
“Because the devil’s words cannot be rejected by humans. Too many people are already on the devil’s side.”
Kim Mi-yeon knew that fact all too well.
And the reason I can trust her and [Heroes Under the Moonlight] is that they all made a ‘oath’ with Shin Ji-hoo’s father standing in front of me.
someone you can trust.
And a bond that cannot be betrayed.
It is a transfer and a system.
“There is still time, so be a little stronger. Dig deeper into the system and do all you can.”
“… … .”
Jihoo didn’t know what to say.
No, should I say that my mouth didn’t fall?
I know it must have something to do with my father, but that’s why I couldn’t ask. Also, if you ask, they won’t answer.
“Dig the system. Climb higher floors and develop more characteristics. Our streets and this indomitable tower must be the front line.”
Aunt Miyeon’s words ended there.
Jihoo opened her mouth, but she had already left the general store.
He sat and thought for a while.
And I was able to realize something.
