95 – World 11. Training in Longevity (7)
“Now try using the seniority method.”
“I will.”
After hearing the explanation, I operated the volcanic eruption technique according to the following instructions.
With a magical power of 1399, the volcanic eruption was used, and tremendous power began to emanate from the body.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!—
In addition, the magic power was not able to bring out my physical abilities to the limit, so it was even expressed outside.
It is to escape the maximum amount of mana that can be accepted by the body and escape to the outside.
‘Rather than that, I can’t accept all of my magic.’
It was a bit unexpected for me, who had other stats other than magical power close to 1,000.
In any case, the rage that surged through the volcanic eruption method was used in my head.
“Mana… No, the mana is amazing. However, it is difficult to understand with just this, so please show us how you attack in the air.”
Perhaps he was trying to figure out how to practice volcanic eruptions.
‘Volcanic eruption is level 1.’
But Jaran wouldn’t know that, so I decided to quietly do as he was told, so I took out the Greatsword of Dawn from the subspace and swung it.
quite seriously.
with a surge of rage.
With the feeling that there is an enemy in front of you.
Jaran, who had been watching as I unleashed a wild slash into the air, made a slightly surprised expression before looking at me with serious eyes.
“stop. That’s enough.”
Shortly after that, when I heard the word to stop, I slowly stopped the sword and stopped the volcanic eruption operation method.
At the same time, I felt the rage that had been engulfing my head gradually dissipate.
“From my point of view, Mr. Lee Seong-min seems to be unable to properly release his anger.”
“Proper anger?”
“Yes. It would have been fine if I had given myself over to my anger.”
There was obviously a surge of anger, but Jaran was saying it wasn’t enough.
“Then what is the cause?”
“There must be several things. Are you saying that Seongmin Lee’s emotions are much duller than others, or that he is wary of anger deep in his heart?”
is it?
I thought I felt the rage and poured it into the attack.
“This is my expectation, but it seems likely that Lee Sung-min will move while thinking about various variables even if he uses the volcanic eruption method.”
“……Isn’t that what it used to be?”
“It means putting importance on rationality. However, given the characteristics of a volcanic eruption that explodes in anger, instinct must come first.”
Certainly, it seemed that instinct would take precedence over rationality if anger exploded.
‘But I think it’s a problem because I value reason?’
Jaran’s words continued.
“There is no need to worry. It’s because you can increase the proportion of anger a little more. Practice so that the ratio of anger to reason can be maintained at around 8:2.”
8:2 d.
“Instead, you need to bring all the anger up to 10:0 a few times. You need to know where your maximum anger is.”
“How do you find your maximum rage?”
“okay. Usually, it is common to fight against opponents with an overwhelming skill gap.”
At the words of an overwhelming skill gap, my gaze naturally turned to Choi Ga-yoon.
Choi Ga-yoon, who came over with the original power, and me, whose power is now all restricted.
The man with the overwhelming skill gap that Jaran said was standing right next to him.
“okay. I will help you.”
Choi Ga-yoon, who met my eyes, said that he would help as if it was no big deal.
In fact, it was not a big deal for Choi Ga-yoon.
‘I’d rather take off the equipment than that.’
If you take off your equipment, all your stats will decrease.
It would be a useless worry, but it was clear that Choi Ga-yoon’s burden would be reduced.
Not only that, but the overflowing magical power could damage the training ground, so he simply took off his helmet, cape, and accessories.
“yes? Why are you taking off your helmet?”
“I thought it would be better to reduce the mana a bit.”
Along with the answer, I put the helmet, cape, and accessories I took off into the subspace, feeling the magical energy that had diminished dramatically, and used the volcanic eruption again.
1399 HP → 750 HP.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!—
The mana was reduced by half, but the same rough air current raged as before.
It’s about half cut from my standards, and 750 was a huge figure from a player’s point of view.
Still, I looked at Choi Ga-yoon in front, thinking that the burden of going to Choi Ga-yoon, which was my first goal, would have been greatly reduced.
“Where should I see Seongmin’s skills?”
Choi Ga-yoon, who took out a sword from the [Space Storage] bracelet I gave him, and Shin Ji-won and Ja-ran, who kept their distance.
As soon as I realized that everything was ready, I kicked the ground with all my might and swung my greatsword at Choi Ga-yoon.
Quaaang!—
Rather than the sound of swords clashing, the sound of something exploding resonated throughout the training ground.
However, despite the great sword I wielded with all my strength, Choi Ga-yoon’s one-handed sword did not even budge.
“…”
At first glance, it felt like hitting a huge steel pillar rather than a sword.
Of course, it was a fully expected result, so I moved as if I was pouring out all my anger without showing anything.
bang! bang! bang!-
‘But is it right to do this?’
Anger still wells up in my head.
He is wielding a greatsword with that anger.
Instead, surrender to your anger and stop thinking, and your attacks will become monotonous.
“I hope women will also attack lightly.”
The moment I heard Jaran’s words vaguely in my ears.
pod-
“…!?”
Before I could swing the great sword again, Choi Ga-yoon’s sword stabbed me in the head.
Fortunately, I was able to evade it easily if I controlled my speed, but it goes without saying that my attack was cut off.
“Mr. Lee Seong-min. In my opinion, Lee Sung-min’s fighting skills are outstanding. Stop thinking, draw out your anger, and only look for an opening.”
Gap?
Choi Ga-yoon’s posture was a little disturbed as he heard the word gap.
Anyone can see that it was a gap created on purpose, but I didn’t think more deeply and focused on that spot.
bang! bang!-
Subsequently, gaps continued to be revealed throughout Ga-yoon Choi’s body.
As I only looked for the gaps I could see, my thoughts gradually subsided, and anger took its place.
“…”
Maybe because of the anger, my head goes blank.
The magic power that he had created started to rampage as if the reins had been released.
[Volcanic Explosion Technique has risen by 1 level to Level 2.]
Level 2.
When the volcanic eruption technique, which had not been climbed until now, went up to level 2, it felt like the magic power generated from the whole body was entering a little deeper.
Then everything around him became blurry except Choi Ga-yoon.
Choi Ga-yoon’s occasional attacks only deflected fatal wounds.
Quaang!—
In addition, when everything in my head turned white, perhaps because of the anger, a new sensation that I had not felt before was transmitted.
As the entire body opens up, the sensation of expanding one’s physical abilities.
[Volcanic Explosion Technique has risen by 1 level to Level 3.]
swish-
In an instant, for some reason, Choi Ga-yoon approached me at a speed that was incomparable to what he had done before, grabbed my arm and twisted it.
After that, he very lightly pinned me to the ground and pressed me down, even subduing me.
Since the body was suppressed, the volcanic eruption was stopped, and Choi Ga-yoon’s voice was heard as if he had been waiting.
“it’s over. Let’s stop here.”
“······yes.”
Choi Ga-yoon also confirmed that I had returned to normal and immediately released the suppression.
After being freed, I got up and immediately opened the status window to check how to perform the volcanic eruption.
【⑦ Other Abilities】
└ Technique: Volcanic Explosion (LV 3) (↑2UP)
‘It really went up.’
It’s also level 2.
Level 2 rose so quickly that it made me wonder if level 10 would come soon.
In the meantime, Jarran approached.
“Did you feel the strength of your body expand?”
expansion of power?
“I did feel the same way.”
“Then, the first step towards a volcanic eruption has been taken. From now on, we have to move toward maintaining reason while generating that sensation whenever we want.”
It was clear that the level of the volcanic eruption had risen, so I accepted Jaran’s words with a nod.
“This time, stand still and come to your senses a moment ago. Even if you manipulate your senses freely, you will rise to the level of a volcanic eruption.”
“I will.”
Hearing the next instruction, I tried to bring out the sensation I felt a while ago while operating the volcanic eruption.
Jaran looked at that day and then turned around and approached Choi Ga-yoon and Shin Ji-won and taught them the basics of the practice.

After talking with Lee Seong-min, Silka came out and asked the wind spirit to contact her fellow tribesmen at the Rock Fortress.
Then, he reported everything that had happened with Lee Sung-min.
– To sum it up, it means that an alien named Lee Seong-min came to help.
“Yes, I did.”
-What about Lee Sung-min’s skills?
When asked about her skills, Silka thought deeply.
“I think there might be. He said he would help even though he knew the power of a 5th-level entity because he fought Ksura.”
– It means you have the confidence to deal with Chemora. Did you say you wanted a reward instead?
“It seemed like they wanted individual rewards, not Espe Kingdom.”
Silka answered honestly, but couldn’t answer the next question properly.
-If it’s a personal reward, what does Sungmin Lee want?
“Uh, that’s…”
At this, a small sigh came from the voice conveyed by the wind spirit.
– First, ask Lee Sung-min for the reward you want. I’m willing to accept any kind of compensation, but adjust it appropriately. Also, say that the reward will be given after eliminating Chemora.
“······Yes.”
-Then, please do your best. The future of Rock Citadel depends on it.
After that, when the voice connected by the wind spirit stopped, Silka let out a small sigh and headed back to the training ground where Lee Seong-min was.
