208 – Lightning abilities are generally strong # 4
It was safe to say that the expected win rate for my duel with Han Ju-ryeon was 100 to 0.
It was said that as long as I was handling various animals, I would definitely win.
So what if you take the animals away from me?
If there are no animals, what is the odds of me and Han Ju-ryeon sparring?
Zwooung-.
I pulled out a fully charged beam saber from my waist.
It is a sword that has the ability to cut even most steel plates.
It should be enough to break through the defense of the superconducting suit that Han Ju-ryun is wearing.
Chorrr-.
I also packed the iron stakes I acquired while wandering around this power plant in my belt.
While I was preparing, Han Ju-ryun shook himself off, stood up, and adjusted his posture.
“Stupid, you are no match for me without animals. Even after knowing that, you attack me without the animals? “Do you want to prove that you are weak?”
“You knew you couldn’t defeat me if there were animals, but you came at me too. Let’s accuse each other of doing something stupid once in a while. And, you’d better not let your guard down.”
The distance between Han Ju-ryeon and me is about 3 meters.
0.5 Seconds after jumping, my beam saber blade was within reach.
First, I took the stake that was hanging from my belt and drove it into a nearby table.

Tick-.
When the button was pressed, the pile made a buzzing sound and vibrated.
It was then.
Crunch, rattle.
Han Ju-ryeon released her hands and neck and opened her hands to me.
“Don’t regret it. Lightning Strike Fist!”
It’s so sad!
Intense lightning emanated from Han Ju-ryun’s palm. The energy that emits a bluish color that is visible to the eye is truly a disaster.
However, it was Han Ju-ryeon who frowned in embarrassment.
“What? “My lightning—.”
The lightning emitted from Han Ju-ryeon’s hand did not reach my body but was sucked in somewhere. It was a peg I had driven into the desk.
To be precise, that stake was a lightning rod.
When this power plant ran out of control and exploded, causing overcurrent and energy to swirl and explode everywhere, it was that lightning rod that cleared the path where people could not even take a single step.
This is a product developed for that purpose.
“I know about this power plant well. “I’ve been here before.”
Tracing my memories from a few years ago, I collected lightning rods that had been discarded inside the power plant. I simply selected useful ones and kept about 5 of them.
“Thunderbolt Fist!”
Qarring-!
Han Ju-ryeon stretched out her hand again.
But this time, Han Ju-ryun’s attack was sucked into the lightning rod without reaching me.
In other words-.
As long as that stake was installed, the vector value of all of Han Ju-ryun’s attacks could be seen to be determined from the start.
One second has passed.
I had already reached the front of Han Ju-ryeon and lightly slashed his knee with my lightsaber.
Zuung-.
“Ouch!”
Han Ju-ryun fell forward with a crash.
Without missing the opportunity, I pressed Han Joo-ryeon down with his knee and grabbed his wrist. Of course, Han Ju-ryun struggled to keep his watch from being taken away.
“Get away from me! Go away!”
“Just stay still! Done!”
I was a little surprised that Han Ju-ryun’s strength was stronger than I thought. So it was a time when I was having a hard time controlling it.
Something like an intense wave rumbled and spread everywhere.
Gurgling!
“Nine times… !”
I felt like my mind instantly became a blank page.
When I came to my senses, I realized that I was stuck in a corner in a strange position.
My whole body ached.
“What, just now…” “What was it?”
Did Han Ju-ryun discharge all his power in his last struggle?
No, it didn’t seem like that.
Han Ju-ryeon is also stuck over there.
Crucially, there was something white crackling in front of my eyes.
That must be the true nature of the incident!
━Crumbling… !!!
The dog squirrel puffed out the fur all over its body as if it was very angry.
Kwangkkwang and Angang were also on high alert, clinging to my shoulder.
━Boom boom… !!!
━Zuji… !!!
There was one time when animals were on guard like this.
This was when the territory was invaded by unfamiliar animals.
━Sssssh…
The white being was a being whose entire body appeared to be made of lightning or electric current. The body was about 4 to 5 meters long and had no arms or legs.
Snake.
Long snake.
It would be better to express it that way.
Whether it was bad luck or luck, this guy was in my memory.
Do Jun-hwan explained it.
“Is this the local owner of this power plant?” !? At this timing… !?”
The owner of the power plant was called “Copper Snake.” It is a snake whose body is made of copper, and because it likes energy such as electricity, it is said to have settled in an abandoned power plant that once ran out of energy.
Did that guy appear in this place, drawn by the fight we just had?
━Suzzzzzzzsssss-.
The copper snake, which held out electric currents extending in all directions like its tongue, headed towards the lightning rod with its body shining white. He seemed to wrap it around his body and then bit into his mouth.
Then, by absorbing the power stored in the lightning rod, his body grew further and radiated light.
uuung-.
I also knew something about this light.
I have often seen this in the past when animals were evolved using hyper evolution.
It was like that.
This was the light of evolution.
The copper serpent began to evolve by absorbing the energy stored in the lightning rod.
The evolution of a semi-S-class monster.
“Avoid everyone! “Come towards me!”
# # #
A storm of energy shook the surroundings.
I first looked at the animals I had protected in my arms.
“Are you guys okay?”
It was an explosion that could be called an electromagnetic wave (EMP). Small animals such as Kkungkkung, Kwangkkwang, and Angang didn’t seem to suffer any damage, perhaps because I held them well in my arms.
Then the problem was over there.
━Z. Zzzzzzz… Zzzzzzzzzsssssh….
I saw before my eyes the copper snake that had grown into a bigger and thicker snake. It was covered in lightning all over its body, and had horn-like points growing on its forehead, making it look like a vicious beast.
In my opinion, it was a good thing to dare call it an S-rank monster.
Copper snake, no, wouldn’t it be okay to call it a ‘superconducting dragon’?
Actually, I liked the name.
I could vaguely sense that the S-rank monster in front of me was still hungry and wanted more energy.
It was a feeling I developed while living with animals.
What if a monster like a stripped high-voltage current line moves to a city with many people in search of more energy?
It was clear that something very terrible was going to happen!
I thought I had to do something.
“We have to defeat it here and now…” ! When his condition is still not perfect… !”
I still remembered the disaster that occurred at this power plant. I couldn’t allow a situation like that to happen again in the world.
“Angang, it’s hyper evolution… !”
━Zuji… !
First, I poured out my magic power on Angangi.
Angangi evolved at a rapid pace and became a hyper honey ant with strong defense.
━Zuji… !
Enraged Angangi lunged at the superconducting dragon. Angangi’s horn pressed down on the superconducting dragon with all its might, and the superconducting dragon wriggled in all directions as if it were in pain.
Pajik, pajik-!
Angangi’s body faltered a little due to the struggle.
Angangi’s body was strong enough to withstand strong winds, but it was leaving behind soot as if it could not withstand the high-voltage electric current.
━Z… Zuji… !
Angang made a quite embarrassed sound.
If things continue like this, Angangi might turn into a charred, roasted ant.
At that time, I saw Han Ju-ryeon, who seemed to have come to her senses.
“Well, what is that?”
Han Ju-ryeon seemed embarrassed when she saw the superconducting dragon.
I didn’t have enough time to explain, so I shouted quickly.
“Hey! Han Joo-ryun! From now on, do as I say! When I give the signal, we will attack together! Otherwise, everything will be ruined in many ways!”
It was a very quick and brief explanation.
If Han Joo-ryun was truly a top-tier A-ranker aiming for S-class, I thought he would have known that the superconducting dragon was a fearsome monster and would have understood my strategy.
I turned on all the lightning rods attached to my waist.
And he shouted at Angangi.
“Ang ang! “Get away from there!”
━Z… Zujiiiii… !
As soon as the hyper evolution was released, Angangi flew away into the distance.
Pod-.
I activated the beam saber and lunged at the superconducting dragon. However, when the button was pressed, the beam saber exploded.
It was due to overcurrent.
“Oh my gosh!”
Having lost my means of attack, I grabbed hold of the superconducting dragon with my body.
This was to hold on as much as possible to the guy who was struggling and trying to run away.
However, the superconducting dragon was lightning itself, and my body was shocked as if I was being electrocuted by the intense energy.
“Eggagagagagak…” !”
If I wasn’t an awakened person and wasn’t wearing an awesome suit, it wouldn’t be strange if I got electrocuted and got charred.
“Hey! Hail too! “What is that!”
“Han Joo-ryun! Overcurrent! Cause overcurrent! When dealing with these electric monsters, overcurrent is the best… !”
Like a beam saber that exploded due to overcurrent, a plan to explode this strange dragon with overcurrent came into my head.
At that time, we have Han Ju-ryun, who boasts the best firepower among the lightning-type abilities!
“Come on… !!! “It’s time to explain.”
I felt my limbs being twisted and screamed with all my strength. Of course, what I said was just my opinion, and it may have sounded strange to Han Ju-ryun.
However, Han Ju-ryun seemed to quickly grasp the situation.
“Animals… Hail too… animal… I do not know… “Inhale!”
I felt Han Ju-ryun stretching out his arm.
Kwajijijijijik-.
At the same time, I could vividly feel the intense lightning coming from Han Ju-ryun’s body.
I felt like a rat struck by lightning.
All the current was focused on me, who activated the lightning rod.
And then I turned to the superconducting dragon I was hugging.
━Sssss… !
The superconducting dragon purred as if he felt good about the energy starting to charge into his body. But that too for a moment.
━Sssss… !?
The guy seemed embarrassed by Han Ju-ryun’s endless energy.
It may be true that it was starving for energy because it had just finished evolving, but if it received too much energy, it would become a problem.
Just because you’re thirsty doesn’t mean you’ll drink water until your stomach explodes.
“Eat as much electricity as you want here!”
From noble mtl dot com
━Shhh… !
I felt that the superconducting dragon was trying to escape from this place.
The boy’s struggles grew louder.
That meant that my strategy was working amazingly.
So, I held onto the dragon’s body even harder and continued to bite it.
Kwasik, Kwazizik-.
But my body wasn’t strong enough to withstand that much overcurrent.
There was a lack of strength, and the sturdy suit began to burn with soot. This reminded me of a long time ago.
An energy storm raged through the power plant’s control system, which began to run away.
Someone had to stick their hand inside and turn off the switch.
At that time, Kang Cheol-min did it.
But, if he hadn’t done it, I would have done it.
And now the turn has come back to me.
“Nuuut… !”
I clamped his mouth shut to the point where I thought my teeth might be shattered and released magical power from my entire body. But my magical power was gradually depleting, and I felt like I would lose my mind at any moment.
Han Ju-ryeon shouted.
“Haildo! Get away now! “If you receive more electricity than this, you’ll die!”
Fall?
No!
The moment I fall, this cub, who doesn’t know if it’s a snake or a dragon, will run away!
That was the moment when I was thinking that way and making up my mind.
━Zuji… !
I felt the cat I had thrown away fly back towards me and cling to my back. I was embarrassed.
“Ang ang! Away! If you get electrocuted, you’ll be in big trouble! “Leave this to me and you—.”
Sssss-.
At that moment, I felt Ang Angi’s magical power slowly seeping into my body! It literally felt like a honey ant had stuck to my back, itching.
━Zuji… !
“… What is this… !?”
Backflow of magical power from Angangi.
I am not giving magic power to Angangi, but I am receiving magical power from Angangi.
This was my first experience like this.
Hwaaa!
I don’t know if it was because the magic of the honey ants began to mix within me, or because of the overcurrent, but everything around me, including me, was enveloped in light.
But rather than being uncomfortable, it was cozy.
It also felt similar to the light of evolution.
Is Angangi evolving during this gap?
No, this is different.
“Oh my… !?”
I noticed that my body was covered in a golden glow and a hard carapace, or you could call it armor.
Something similar to the shell of a honey ant was wrapped around my skin as if protecting it, and it was so strong that it protected my body even against intense superconducting currents and a series of discharges.
If you look at this, it was I, ‘Haildo’, not Angangi, who was evolving through intense energy and Angangi’s magic.
And I didn’t know if I could bear it now!
“Now is the time!!! “Put your all into it!!!”
Gwareung-!
Intense lightning struck in all directions inside the power plant.
Immediately my body rose into the air.
Despite the situation, the feeling of drifting in the sky was very good.
However, I had no wings and eventually fell to the ground motionless.
# # #
I woke up in the hospital.
It was because something cold touched my face.
━Yingyingyaing.
“Ah! The owner of the house has opened his eyes… ! The fact that our nymph sisters danced the nymph dance of recovery every day was effective… !”
“Of Calls… ! That Illinois superconducting dance… ! Resistance to most diseases is impossible… !”
“I don’t know what happened to this Coris, but I’m glad that the owner of the house woke up safely… !”
I got up from the bed and looked out the window.
The red maple leaves had already turned into leaves and were falling.
One week.
I think I was asleep for about a week.
No, wait a minute, a week?
“… What about A-rank battles?”
I asked with a neck that was locked and cracked from not using it for a long time.
Then Oinoi showed me the newspapers he had collected over the past seven days.
