belief, belief.
Although the conclusion was reached at the end of Django, the miracle that everything was solved by that alone did not happen.
In the end, you need to check the results.
I’ll have to see if the gift of smelting force can force me to believe.
I took the dog along the way and went hunting. And the first thing I did was to check how much damage I could do to monsters by using Force Refining.
The place where I and Dogmong arrived is a mountainous area that enters Gangwon-do.
This place was virtually abandoned by the Korean government, and from the beginning it was neglected because the population was sparse and it was good for monsters to create an ecosystem.
Currently, the Republic of Korea has recovered most of the densely populated areas and minimized power loss by leaving the mountainous areas difficult for people to live.
So, this is a good playground for me to run wild.
What I’m trying to hunt is a level 8 harmful monster. In the past, it was treated as a force capable of destroying a nation, but now it was reduced to a level where I could measure its combat power.
There were a lot of cute names to give to them, but they didn’t appear officially, so you don’t have to give them.
As I looked around, the first thing I noticed was a flying monster that flew across the sky from a distant height.
As if to show off that this place was his realm, he was gliding across the sky at a slow speed.
It was the confidence that came from not having anyone to defy him, but for me it was a big target moving at a moderate speed.
“Where once.”
I activated a sniper and began to enhance its power by smelting force.
First of all, it was necessary to check this ambiguous ‘belief’ in using the gift.
How much difference does the power of a gift really depend on the type of belief?
I strengthened my power by giving faith in my appearance.
I was an idol who used to kill villains and monsters. It was still unbelievable. But the visible figures cannot be ignored.
Anyway, it felt like the bullets were getting stronger by smelting the Force.
puck!
It hit the flying monster as it was.
But that’s all.
The flying monster trembled, but it didn’t take any major damage.
Kyaah!
Rather, he looked at me and let out a roar full of anger. And it started flying towards me with a ferocious force.
Just as expected. The power wasn’t that dramatic either.
I prepared the next bullet. This time, it’s a belief in what I’m doing. I’m still confused, but I had some confidence as I was doing well.
puck!
And this time there was a blow. The wing of the monster hit by the bullet had a hole in it and it was torn.
I could definitely feel the force power getting stronger when I gave it faith. It was at a level that encouraged the monsters to glow rather than the level of reinforcement that is now at a clumsy level.
“last.”
These are only the testing stage to the last. The second one after the first has definitely improved its power.
A gift whose power changes according to one’s own beliefs. I thought that the world is wide and there are many strange gifts.
I finally gave a firm belief that I wasn’t crazy and fired the bullet.
Paah!
different from the sound. The fiercely rotating bullet ripped apart even the space and was fired at a speed that was hard to follow with my eyes.
It hit the head of a flying monster that was approaching, and puck! With that sound, he smashed his head like tofu.
It was a different level of speed and a different level of power.
thud!
A corpse that had lost its head collided with the ground along with a thick stream of blood.
“… … .”
I was at a loss for words for a moment at the clearly different power.
I thought that force smelting would be a gift with great power, but just setting the object of faith will make such a stark difference.
“If it’s like this.”
It seemed to be able to inflict damage on two-horned monsters and divine beasts.
I was deeply concerned about whether I should just aim for the head as ignorantly as in the time of the Thousand Devils, but I did not know that I would receive such a gift. If this was enough, even if a two-horned monster appeared in Europe, I was willing to help out several times.
It’s a God-given gift, so it’s definitely good.
The ego also exists here, so it is possible to integrate and close it according to the consumption.
The saint gave me a great gift.
[What kind of crazy thing is there!]
It means that Yong-yong’s violent reaction can cause enough damage.
If his power wasn’t great, his feelings would have been flat.
Since he was an honest guy with emotional expressions, I was able to gauge his power by looking at his reaction.
For reference, when I put my appearance and way of living in the forge of force, the guy’s reaction was calm.
What I need now is that I have to master it so that it can be given naturally as if it were breathing.
“You just have to kill the monster and kill it again.”
What’s better than repetitive work like this is a battle at the risk of your life.
Of course, I like moderately risky levels.
Force smelting was an atmosphere that was smoothly ripening in the hands.

Most of all, it’s encouraging.
“It means that I am sane.”
I was satisfied with the fact that I had a firm belief that I was sane without the slightest doubt.

I roamed around Gangwon-do, poking around in the habitat of monsters. In the process, he hunted countless monsters, but he didn’t like it very much.
The reason was that the level of the monster was not higher than expected.
You can increase your proficiency in force smelting by hunting monsters, but you need to check how powerful it is against strong guys.
I needed a strong monster that I could feel the thrill at the right level.
Ah, being strong here is at least a plus level.
That’s why I brought a dog, but it didn’t work at all.
I polished the dog.
“Doggy, aren’t there any stronger guys?”
bruise!
The dog pretends to find it and reports that it is not there. I even doubted whether he was looking for the right thing or pretending to be.
Has your hair grown these days? If you keep pounding like this, it only reinforces the idea that you need to beat it regularly.
Naturally, the eyes towards the dog became sharp.
“Then it’s no fun. You can’t do what you want to do.”
bruise!
“If this keeps happening, you may have to deal with it.”
bruise! Woof woof! bruise!
The dog suddenly started barking urgently and declared that he would come to find the monster.
Yes, even if you can’t find it, this desperate attitude is necessary. After I sent the dog to search, I set out to find the monsters that were detected nearby.
What was discovered was a harmful level 8 monster.
I’ve been wanting to find a plus-level monster, but it’s a pity.
However, once I found it, I don’t want to pass it up.
Come to think of it, Se-hee Lee had a hard time talking about my sending weapons to the Confederacy, but it wasn’t too difficult for me.
Fucking China? Of course it’s good. But if I’m going to take a big loss and eat shit, that’s not it.
Just making money is so easy for me.
puck!
A monster whose head was smashed by a bullet and collapsed. You can earn at least 1 trillion won with just your heart, and up to 3 trillion won if you apply blood and flesh well. I didn’t come to collect the by-products, so after I got my heart, the corpse was ripped to pieces by a blade storm.
Yes, with a little effort like this, you can earn a trillion in an instant.
And when I came to Gangwon-do, I had made more than 5 trillion won in a few hours.
“It’s easy to make money.”
If you don’t put much importance on money, you can do a lot of things.
By the way, when is the doggie going to come?
But I don’t think there’s a talent for finding things that don’t even have dogs.
I searched all over Gangwon-do, but in the end, it was a failure to find a plus-level monster.

“Huh, heh heh heh!”
When the president saw Choi Jun-ho’s report on hunting in Gangwon-do, he burst into laughter.
He laughed while shaking his head, and his expression relaxed even when he made a serious expression. When Cheon Myeong-guk, who was watching the scene, became curious, handed him the documents.
“Look at you too.”
“… … .”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who received the documents, was at a loss for words when he saw the contents inside.
It was only one day. No, in terms of hunting time alone, about 10 hours. If you subtract the travel time here, it will be reduced by at least half.
However, during that time, Choi Jun-ho hunted six remains of stage 8 monsters.
He was holding onto a monster that, if it appeared in the human realm, could destroy even a nation, like a chicken’s head. No, I didn’t know that the word massacre would be more appropriate for this.
“I’ve never seen a faster hunting pace than this. On the contrary, it causes ecological chaos, so I’m worried that I have to dry it out in moderation.”
“I am even more surprised because I am an Awakened. Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman strength is beyond common sense. No, it is a state that transcends human limits.”
It was a blessing for such a superman to appear in Korea. At the same time, it was a bomb that could explode, so eerie emotions crossed it.
The president responded the same way.
“I see. And you have to bear such a superhuman.”
“I have to. We have to put Choi Jun-ho and Superin into the system and manage it endlessly. It’s an acceptable risk. But if the management goes in the wrong direction… … .”
“The blade of Junho Choi will be pointing this way.”
To prevent that, the president recommended Cheon Myung-guk to run for the presidency. Chun Myeong-guk also accepted the offer, knowing that it was something only him could do.
Although there is a possibility for Jung Joo-ho, he was not very interested in politics. Chun Myeong-guk put down Choi Jun-ho’s hunting report, thinking that he would have to manage Jung Joo-ho to succeed if he became president.
“First of all, I will make a request to stop hunting. If you push it like this, monsters can pop out of the wrong place. What we need now is to prevent accidents that could happen elsewhere due to the butterfly effect, not monster hunting.”
“Can I leave it to you?”
Chun Myung-guk is a specialist in this field. Above all, it was necessary to constantly reflect the image of Chun Myeong-guk, who is leading the investigation into the incident.
Chun Myeong-guk, who showed his will to power, did not step back any longer.
“I will deal with it right away.”
* * *
How could I have wandered around for two days and didn’t find any plus-level monsters?
I didn’t take my anger out on the dog, but my taste buds were bitter. I don’t know when Korea became such a clean, demonic country.
In the meantime, they were asked to stop, saying that ecosystem chaos was expected.
Nothing worked out right.
When I stopped hunting and went to the Blue House, Cheon Myeong-guk greeted me with a very sad expression.
“I was trying to ease the worries of Director Cheon, but it’s a pity.”
“… Thank you for your words. But, instead of making me comfortable, it will make me suffer from overtime work, so please let me know in advance next time.”
“It is.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Apparently, the old South Korean region has a large population, so there is a limit to getting around. Next time, I’ll go to the old North Korean area and look for monsters.
However, there were not as many high-ranking monsters as expected because there was a continuous sweeping operation due to the northward policy.
I took care of all the guys that Ryu Gwang-cheol tamed, and since Yong-yong is based in Mt. Baekdu, other monsters didn’t even come close.
This is all because of the dragon.
[Why all of a sudden it’s my fault?]
If it’s your fault, even if it’s your fault, it’s your fault. If you’re dissatisfied, why don’t you keep a few pet monsters like Hyuna?
[You mean you’re going to kill them all with your own hands!]
Let’s say that killing is a stepping stone for my growth.
[under! shocking!]
Whether Yong-yong was babbling or not, I was in a situation where I wanted to check the results, and it was quite difficult.
In this case, it would be overseas to find a plus-level monster, but the process is more cumbersome than I thought.
When I went to China to find it, the three northeast provinces, which became the stronghold of the Union Army, were lined with Awakened people.
Is there any other way?
Did the heavens know about my worries like this?
Three days later, a report came in that a positive-stage marine monster appeared in Okinawa, Japan, and was destroying the coast every day. And I received a request from Japan directly inviting me to hunt monsters.
In Japan, there was a vacuum in superhuman security as Gunji died due to the last artificial divine water purification incident. Above all, marine monsters are evaluated one step higher than land monsters, so being a plus-level monster was actually treated as a horn.
Cheon Myeong-guk carefully spoke to me.
“This is an unreasonable proposition. You are free to refuse.”
“Why are you rejecting this?”
“Yes?”
“Of course I want to help.”
How long can a plus-level marine monster last?
The thought of using Force Smelting made me feel itchy.
“Superman.”
“Yes.”
“You are smiling too brightly.”
“Oh, is that so?”
At Cheon Myeong-guk’s point, I touched my lips. Before I knew it, the corners of my mouth were curled up.
“It is because I can contribute to peace in Okinawa.”
“… … .”
“You do it like that.”
Anyway, I was happy to be honest.
