After passing through the long tunnel, the surroundings became brighter and the consciousness became clearer. It came out of the sea of consciousness.
I wondered if hematomas would come out like in the case of the Constantina curse, but it wasn’t.
I moved my body lightly. There was no problem.
“It’s not fun.”
While holding the two gift disciplines, my nerves were mostly focused on finding the hematoma. Because I thought that if the content was as he said, it would be somewhere in the sea of consciousness. But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t find him.
So I thought it came out.
This is not the case, so it will be one of the remaining two.
“Maybe it was because I was hiding somewhere else like a mouse, or because I was inexperienced.”
I had only been to the Sea of Consciousness twice, so it was inevitable.
I couldn’t be satisfied with the first drink, but there was regret. There’s not much that happens all at once.
However, what has become clear from this is that it is not my illusion that the ego exists in the gift, and that I can lead in the direction I want through constructive conversation.
Because gifts and cooperation are important laws.
As a result, I was crazy about my first gift, Blood Feed.
A gift that copies a gift engraved on someone else’s blood, and blood feeding has never been shown to the world yet, but its power is not lacking enough to be called a legend.
But why does the ego not exist in this gift?
No, it would have been there from the beginning.
Then why didn’t he show his presence?
“You must have seen an opportunity.”
I was convinced that the hematoma was the ego of bloodfeeding. And unlike other selves who try to assist their master, I pointed the blade at him from the beginning.
“He was crazy from the start.”
I realized why I had to go crazy. When I have time, I’ll have to explore the Sea of Consciousness to discover the hidden hematoma’s self. The moment you find him, you will be able to end the long-suffering affair.
After giving up on my thoughts, I sensed the pretense that was sneaking around in front of the door before and shouted.
“Who are you?”
“Cho, superin! Now, do you have a moment?”
“Don’t be shy and come in.”
“Hey, sorry for interrupting your break, Choin-nim!”
A group of about a dozen people entered with a hoarse voice. And when our eyes met, I fell on my face and trembled in horror.
They referred to themselves as those who groaned at Ryu’s tyranny.
From my point of view, they look like those who worked under the hood.
I watched quietly what he was trying to say. Then they fell down at the same time and cried.
“Superman! Lead us!”
“Nope?”

Lee Ryong-hwa, the deputy head of the National Security Agency, watched the process of the capture of the Jojo Palace.
The ferocious saber-toothed tiger, whom Ryu Gwang-cheol called a divine beast, had his head exploded and died, and countless Awakened Awakeners who were traveling to and from the palace died without even leaving their bodies.
In particular, it was shocking to see the massacre of a foreign ministry official on the Chinese side, who was nothing more than a merchant country.
However, those facts were not comparable to the death of Ryu Gwang-cheol.
At least in New Pyongyang, Ryu Gwang-cheol was nothing like a god.
‘Ryu Gwang-cheol is dead!’
This was the story of the collapse of the existing order. As Lee Ryong-hwa rose to the position of deputy head of the National Security Agency with quick glances and behavior, he thought that he had to show himself well to new powers.
The new ruler is Choi Jun-ho, a superman who came from the south.
He is known as the head breaker, and despite his young age, it is known that he possesses a position that is close to the strongest in the world.
Although in the poor north, the situation was not good, so he listened to the news from outside. So, I knew about Choi Jun-ho well.
Innumerable people and monsters had different orders in his hand. It’s not an exaggerated rumor.
Interest rates are the new trend. Lee Ryong-hwa immediately led his men to visit Choi Jun-ho and shouted to lead.
‘No matter how bad it is, it will be better than Ryu Gwang-cheol.’
Ryu Gwang-cheol, who was a vicious ruler, was the worst human being to the point that it was a waste to be called a human.
He frequently carried out purges for his own power, and he set an example and ruled of terror by making the victim directly watch as the prey of the monsters.

Maybe they did something wrong. Maybe it’s the people who sacrificed for Ryu’s fun.
He made arbitrary decisions that he did not understand, and he blamed his subordinates for making mistakes in the process and purged them.
At that time, countless people died. Sinpyeongyang, a fortress and prison surrounded by demons, was his own territory that could not be resisted by Ryu Gwang-cheol.
On the other hand, Choi Jun-ho is a superhuman from South Korea, where law and order have been established.
They say he is notorious, but he will not be worse than Ryu Gwang-cheol.
No, on the contrary, there is a point where I have a glimmer of hope.
‘If it works out well, it can actually help.’
It’s a short time, but Choi Jun-ho will know this by looking around. Ryu Gwang-cheol’s amassed wealth and various luxuries. If you pass this, you will not be a man.
Lee Ryong-hwa collected them all and voluntarily presented them to Choi Jun-ho.
I hope that trust will be given as much as the sincerity you have shown.
Lee Ryong-hwa, who raised his head with a face full of anticipation, realized that the moment he saw Choi Jun-ho’s face, he was going in a different direction than he had expected.
“Why am I leading you?”
“Yes?”
Aww!
“Aww!”
Lee Ryong-hwa, who stepped on his shoulder, screamed.
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
“sorry!”
This is a different development than expected. I mean, why is this happening?
Lee Ryong-hwa rolled his eyes and stopped breathing the moment they met Choi Jun-ho. It was as if he was looking into every detail he was rolling his hair.
“If you want to live, do what I tell you.”
“Yes, yes!”
In order to live, Ryonghwa Lee nodded his head again and again.
* * *
By the time Choi Jun-ho left for the North, the Korean media as well as the world were in a state of shock.
Two plus stage monsters appeared.
This was a fact that completely broke the formula that it was impossible to control monsters in the meantime.
Humans have been researching to use them from the moment they appeared. However, the hostility towards humanity that has ingrained from the design of the ritual to the bones has led to the conclusion that it is impossible to get rid of it.
If this is removed, the monster will run into a runaway. It was impossible to persuade them to listen to them while completely subjugating them, although they were able to completely control this thought.
Nevertheless, it was an attractive study to be able to tame monsters. The sponsors appeared endlessly, and the research continued, but it did not lead to results.
So the existence of ‘tamer’ Ryu Gwang-cheol was rare.
Although he can’t control monsters at will, it seemed like a pretty attractive option to be able to coordinate interests and guide them in the desired direction.
Then, two plus stage monsters appeared.
It was clear that Ryu Gwang-cheol had developed the gift further or had been hiding a number so far.
Even more surprising is what follows.
Junho Choi hunted two plus stage monsters!
It was a fact that was hard to believe even when I heard it sanely. In fact, as soon as the news came out, it was criticized as fake news.
But it soon turned out to be true. At that time, the place where the monsters appeared was Gaeseong, and there were many citizens who witnessed the appearance of two plus stage monsters.
They remembered Junho Choi, who declared that he would remain until the end to face the monsters.
As a result, the two plus-level monsters named Dasom and Hanul were perfectly hunted.
“Aren’t you crazy? Is this possible?”
“Isn’t a country without monsters possible without Choi Jun-ho?”
“I told you it was nonsense, but it might be possible.”
Those who heard this were terrified. It was a unique move that was hard to believe that he was a human being.
But, is it safe to face two monsters at the same time?
It was evidence that his whereabouts were now unknown. Some criticized the government’s reckless mobilization while spreading rumors of Choi Jun-ho’s death.
Naturally, this opinion gained strength.
It’s amazing to deal with a superman alone plus level monsters, but you’re dealing with two? It’s weirder to think it’s going to be okay.
The government declared that it was groundless and declared a full-fledged North Korean march to change the topic.
The first target was Yeonbaek Plain.
It was the Holy Guild that took the lead here. It is because the power of other Awakeners can be put in by removing the harmful Level 8 monsters located in the center of the plains.
Here, Chan-taek Lee and Gwang-ho Ryu of the Asgard Guild and the Reaper Guild went out to hunt the remains of Level 8 monsters elsewhere.
New hunter Choi Yoon-hee also joined the sacred guild hunting.
Choi Yun-hee, a bright 20-year-old prospect who has reached level 4, first participated in the 8th stage of the remains of monster hunting.
The first hunt opened my eyes to a new world, even though it was only a secondary role to help surrounding colleagues rather than directly hitting monsters.
“… Is this harmful level 8?”
That was the overwhelming strength.
The battle situation was tense even though the main character, Baek Gun-seo, took the lead and fought against the monsters, and the core power hunters around it were assisting them.
Shinsung Guild is the strongest guild in Korea. Even though his colleagues were talented people who had both geniuses and practical experience, they became infinitely smaller in front of the 8th-grade monsters.
Low-level hunters like myself stayed in auxiliary roles, such as relieving the aftermath and opening a path so that their colleagues could move smoothly.
Nevertheless, in the aftermath of the power generated by the demons, the skin was cut and holes were sometimes punctured.
“… … .”
Yoon-hee asked this tightly. I always thought that this moment would come. Although he was evaluated as quite talented, he found that he became infinitely smaller every time his brother’s name was mentioned.
At home, it looks like a few screws have been loosened, but my brother can easily catch such a monster by himself. I didn’t want to become a younger brother who was lacking in such an older brother, or a younger brother who was lacking.
Yoon-hee gave strength to her eyes, which were difficult to open properly due to the wind, and watched the situation carefully. Even if the role assigned to you is not large, you will be able to move on to the next step only if you do this clearly.
Kyao!
As the monster’s bloom spread, he could see himself and his colleagues’ limbs trembling. But if you are overwhelmed here, you cannot progress. You have to grapple with it and overcome it.
What would your brother do?
Rather, he would have sneered and smashed the monster’s head.
“I will solve it!”
Carve out a path for your colleagues to move, and move aside so as not to get in the way. In the vivid picture she drew in her head, Yoon Hee squeezed her strength without showing any signs of exhaustion.
“Choi Yun-hee!”
“it’s okay!”
Colleagues around her voiced worried voices, but Yoon-hee raised her voice.
It was surprisingly light.
“great… … .”
Entering a kind of runner’s high state, Yoon-hee moved her body in a trance.
The body, which seemed to be depleted right away, endlessly replenishes energy and springs up like a spring of strength. As if possessed by something, he took care of the dirty work of hunting. The more I did it, the more I felt the tiny seed that had been nestled deep in my heart twitch.
At some point, a bud sprouted from the crack with a ‘tuk’ sound. Things that didn’t even exist because it was blurry started to sprout splendidly.
Yoon-hee’s hunting assistant changed into a perfect form as time passed.
hey hey!
After 6 hours of hunting, the monster finally fell. While all the other colleagues were exhausted and scattered, Yoon Hee was alone.
“What happened?”
“Well, I don’t know either.”
At the baptism of questions around, Yoon-hee looked rather bewildered.
Since when have you been able to put on a performance like this?
At that time, Se-hee Lee, who looked exhausted, approached. He played a key role in today’s hunting and made a big contribution to hunting monsters.
“Yoon-hee is full of energy.”
“Iknow, right. uh?”
“what’s the matter? Is there any problem?”
Yoon-hee, who was talking, stopped. After the hunt was over and the tension was released, he was able to clearly recognize the changes in his body.
“sister… No, boss.”
“yes?”
Yoon-hee said with a bright face that did not show any signs of exhaustion.
“I opened that gift.”
“What? really?”
“yes.”
Yoon-hee opened up her gift fortitude with this hunt.
“congratulation!”
Starting with Lee Se-hee, congratulations poured in from those around.
it was a slope Colleagues around them congratulated them with admiration, joy, and sometimes jealousy.
Baek Gun-seo, who appeared in a neat appearance after hunting, also sent encouragement after hearing the news of Yun-hee’s gift opening.
“It’s a big blessing. I look forward to it.”
“Yep! I’ll do my best!”
It is said that actual practice is the flower of development, and it is true.
When I returned to Kaesong after hunting, Choi Jun-ho contacted me through a satellite phone.
However, it was Lee Se-hee, not her younger sister, who called.
“Why not me, but Se-hee unnie!”
-Your number, I can’t remember.
“Oh!”
I thought the talent of making people angry without even having time to announce the joy of opening the gift was useful.
* * *
The way I dealt with Ryu’s subordinates was simple.
The guy with other thoughts is killed, and the guy who shakes his head thoroughly is kept alive. Among them, this guy, Ryonghwa Lee, did not kill him by making a desperate gesture in order not to die.
Because I needed hands and feet to do the troublesome work for me.
First of all, what I did was to collect Ryu’s wealth and materials.
The wealth that accumulates endlessly even if they bring it with them made me at a loss for words.
Ryu Gwang-cheol This guy raked in a lot. To be honest, the wealth didn’t really catch my eye.
If the government accepts this, will it fall to me? Or belongs to the treasury? I don’t think much of it, but if this is being used as a tax, you’ll need to know how it’s going to be used.
Rather, it was the documents that Ryu Gwang-cheol exchanged with other countries that caught my attention.
In addition to the original, he made a few copies to use as evidence later. The US, China, Japan, Russia, and so on were diplomatic and exchanges with a wide variety of countries.
“I am a bastard, I am a bastard.”
I can see why you dreamed of establishing a country. He had established very complex diplomatic relations and was making excellent use of his position.
In particular, he stimulated the opponent’s imagination by appropriately revealing and hiding his abilities. I don’t know why this guy disappeared when I was a bloodbath.
While I was taking measures, some people living in Shin-Pyongyang packed their belongings and left the city.
I didn’t care about people running out.
If you can get out of the prison surrounded by demons, get out. If you can safely go to Korea or China, that is your ability.
In addition, the food stockpiles were released to fill the stomachs of the hungry.
And late at night when everyone was asleep, I left the Tin Palace.
While using the gift obtained here, I was able to face a strange situation.
I used the monster language through Hyegwangsim language.
It was impossible to communicate with monsters because it had not been used for a long time like Ryu Gwang-cheol.
However, this gift had an unexpected effect.
The point is that you can figure out the location of the monster.
“This will be of a lot of use.”
The monster language is a form in which the monster responds when my intention is communicated, and through that, it was possible to grasp the location of the monster.
The scope of this gift was very wide, and Lee Ryong-hwa said that there is an infrastructure built by Ryu Gwang-cheol. Lee Ryong-hwa didn’t know what it was, but when I tried it, the area reached from Sin-Pyongyang to Hwanghae-do, Pyeongan-do, and Mt. Baekdu.
And near Mt. Baekdu, I could sense an abnormal air current.

My message was being read intentionally.
The other monsters couldn’t communicate at all, but this monster seemed to understand and ignore my words.
So I decided to go and check it out myself.
Leaving Shin-Pyongyang and heading towards Mt. Baekdu, I saw that the front was enveloped in a foggy mist.
What caught my attention was the one in front of it.
A huge presence that had never been felt before was conveyed.
[Did a foolish human face death? It is a worthy death because I was greedy for something that did not fit the subject.]
And then the gaze in the fog turns to me. It felt like it was right in front of me, yet infinitely far away.
[Evil man, I do not intend to collide with you. Go back.]
Was it possible for a demon to say something like this?
I listened to his words with one ear and blew it out through the other.
“What are you? Isn’t that a monster?”
The answer came back.
[I am the divine beast, Blue Dragon.]
“It’s a monster.”
[…] … .]
A monster that speaks too.
