98 – Birth
[Unstable power permeates the body.]
[There are risk factors that can disintegrate the body and mind of the user.]
[In the case of intense rejection, serious damage, side effects, and permanent sequelae can be obtained.]
It felt like a siren was going off in my head.
I have also felt the pressure and helplessness of sinking down a deep abyss.
It’s hot inside.
Did Lexa’s attack pierce her stomach?
From the lower abdomen to the upper abdomen and chest.
The heat rising from the upper body seems to melt the internal organs.
[The power is gradually absorbed.]
[Body temperature rises rapidly.]
Rather than drowning in water, a fierce fire that made you feel as if you were drowning in lava burned your entire body beyond your upper body.
The feeling of being burned at the stake.
However, strangely, there was no scream or struggle.
Rather, it became powerless.
like having a bad flu.
[Body temperature continues to rise.]
[The absorbed power is replaced by the muscular system and mana system.]
[The power substituted into the user’s body and mind begins to assimilate.]
hot.
No, now it feels like a bomb is exploding inside my body.
It feels like a powerful magic bomb explodes in a chain and explodes the internal organs.
I can’t feel any pain, as if I’ve gone far beyond the pain.
One thing you can feel.
that the mind is slowly fading.
I feared that if it faded and eventually cut off, it would never connect again, but the harmony that had already begun was beyond my will.
[The rate of absorption in the body gradually increases.]
[The resulting physical and mental reactions are gradually getting worse.]
Violent convulsions began, as if an earthquake had occurred.
My vision has been darkened for a long time, and I can’t even feel my senses anymore.
The convulsions intensified, and the mind became clouded.
Could this be death?
The irresistible fear presents a sense of helplessness to the point of giving up on everything.
soon
The frantic trembling convulsions ceased, and all senses were blocked.
The mind gradually drifts away from somewhere.
A spirit that is far away to the point where you don’t even know where the standard of distance is.
It feels hazy as if in a dream, yet dumb as if it became a single-celled organism.
Having lost the will to overcome and struggle in the midst of foreign thoughts, I was just adapting to my dying spirit.
yet.
[Convergence has been successful.]
I don’t know what was successful, but I had to feel the voice of the system coming from far away.
I felt as if my mind, which had been distant, was returning somewhere again.
[The ‘Melissa’s Rune’ that the user is wearing protects the mind.]
[Your mental power is temporarily greatly strengthened.]
[You will have a strong mental strength that is not affected by any external or internal effects.]
A voice that gradually becomes clearer.
A feeling that slowly returns.
A spirit that gradually brightens.
[All basic stats increase permanently with successful fusion.]
[Strength +235]
[Agility +222]
[Power +262]
[HP +198]
[Endurance +167]
After a while.
[Attribute: Overhead Max is activated. Temporarily goes into a berserk state.]
[Melissa’s rune protects the user’s mind and maintains sanity.]
I opened my eyes.

“Hey?!”
Lexa was horrified when the rising water column subsided and Taejin appeared riding on the black dragon’s back.
Eyes with bright red flames.
A mouth filled with maddened delight.
Magical power rising as if breathing stops.
All of that gave her an overwhelming fear she had never felt before.
I couldn’t even dare to measure the magical power that burned fiercely as if it would burn everything it touched.
The smile for no reason was directed directly at him.
My hamstrings tingle, and my whole body stiffens.
The current situation was not established in my head.
is it a dream
Are you seeing illusions?
Or are you seeing afterimages after death?
Horror, fear, and remorse that would not be felt even if death arrived right in front of me clamped my throat.
“Heuk!?”
After a while.
When four arrows pierced both hands and feet, grabbing the body like a hook and pinning it to the cave wall.
Only then did Lexa realize that she had been attacked, and at the same time, she had to feel intense despair.
Like Jesus Christ crucified, hanging from the wall of a cave with arrows stuck in his hands and feet.
Looking down at the scene where dozens of arrows flew as if they had free will and wiped out the monsters.
It was like looking down at the bottom of despair.
– Kwajik!
– Kwajijik!
– Pazz!
A monster army that was annihilated in an instant.
Lexa looked at Taejin with wide eyes.
I don’t know how it got to this point, but the animal instinct inside her informs.
Don’t put up with futile resistance.
Admit that you have entered the pit of catastrophe yourself.
Comparable to my lord, no. Disrespectfully, the mana that probably surpassed that of my lord was enough to make me vomit just by sensing it.
“ha ha ha.”
Even though arrows were stuck in her hands and feet, Lexa laughed at Taejin.
I didn’t feel any pain.
The will to struggle had already been broken.
Overwhelmed by magic that could dare to be called omnipotent, which had even wiped out her instinct for survival, Lexa couldn’t stop laughing.
He envied the Awakened and became a villain in pursuit of strength, and has always lived on a winning streak in a world of weak meat.
I have never been defeated, and I have never disappointed my lord.
But now I think I know.
Looking at Taejin, who is making dozens of arrows by raising his mana again.
How the losers looked at themselves, how helpless it was, and how the losers’ incompetence was sometimes pious.
And that the world is really wide.
Lexa was able to realize as she watched dozens, maybe hundreds of arrows shoot at her.
of course.
I didn’t even have time to imprint that realization in my brain.
-Paba Park!
-Papak!
– Fu-wook!
The end of the blue witch Lexa was beginning.

“I-that… brother?”
The swarm of monsters melted away, and the rest of the group looked up at Taejin after taking a breather.
It is ferocious, yet ferocious magic.
It was to the point where I had the illusion that they were not the same human being, as if I was looking up to them instead of looking up at them.
Yura should have felt awe at seeing Taejin.
It was a little scary.
The first meeting with my long-awaited brother was not very good due to the urgency and urgency of the situation, but the brother I met after 10 years had become a transcendent existence.
‘My mother said that I had to take care of my brother because he was naturally weak and not mentally strong… ?’
A story that I did not miss every time I asked about my brother.
But now he was a person who didn’t need care, but could rather share care.
“Yura!”
Mihwa Baek called Yura.
Yura, who was looking at her brother in awe, quickly opened the mana pocket and pulled out a small machine.
It was a modified machine from the [mana Meter] that could only be used by verified institutions.
– Beep.
Yura turns on a machine with a horn-shaped antenna on top of a small monitor and steers it in the direction of Taejin.
After a while, numbers appeared on the monitor.
[99999]
“to?”
Yura tapped the monitor.
“Why?”
“I thought it was broken.”
“what?”
“Look at this. Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine. Exceeded the quantifiable range. The maximum number is this. Tsk, it broke down at the crucial moment.”
Nayeon muttered quietly with a nervous expression.
“Breakdown… Maybe not.”
“Yes?”
Yura was the only one who gave a puzzled look at Nayeon’s words.
Sua and Hyeseo, who felt Taejin’s berserker appearance at the gym and the grain of his beast-like magical power, and Lesha, who closely assisted Taejin, thought that Nayeon’s words might not be lies.
And.
“… Maybe.”
Baek Mi-hwa, who has been through prenatal care, also joined the opinion.
Taejin’s magical power felt with his whole body had such a strength that he had no choice but to join.
And my daughter Han Yu-ra’s skills have been verified hundreds of times.
Yura, whose awakening ability has become a mechanical talent, has been exceptionally good at handling machines since childhood, and when he brought abandoned magic machines, he would copy them and create machines with improved performance.
The defect rate has also been converging to zero lately.
Also, knowing what Han Chang-ho left behind, Mi-hwa had no choice but to agree with Na-yeon.
When measured with Yura’s machine, Mihwa’s mana value was [30,105].
Baek Mi-hwa looks at her son, Tae-jin, who is said to be senile, but has far surpassed himself, who was once called the strongest hunter.
But.
“… Get ready.”
At Nayeon’s meaningful words, Mi-hwa finally revealed her doubts.
Hyeseo and Sua, who experienced what happened at the gym, expressed more tension than when dealing with monsters.
“What? Now that the Blue Witch has fallen, there are no more threats… ?”
Everyone looked at Taejin and prepared for battle.
Mi-hwa, who was following the gaze with Yura, stopped talking.
“no way… .”
Mihwa muttered with surprised eyes.
“Why? Mom, why are you like this?”
Yura narrowed her eyes and asked urgently.
“this… You seem to have lost your temper.”
“Yes. There was a similar case before, but I somehow blocked it back then… . I honestly don’t know now. Will I be able to stop… .”
Nayeon’s voice trembled.
It was several times stronger than the mana I felt then.
To be honest, I thought that if Taejin attacked, I would be unable to stop him.
Because the blue witch feels like the lesser evil has receded and the worst has appeared.
The party enters the battle posture again.
But.
“Hey~”
Everyone had to breathe a sigh of relief at Taejin waving his hand on top of Draco’s back with only his head sticking out.
He was even putting on an innocent, big smile.
“what… .”
“It was obviously in a state of berserk… ?”
“Kyaa~ Taejin-ah, you’re really cool~!”
Only Lusha greeted them brightly by saying goodbye among them who were dumbfounded.
“what… . It wasn’t really a glitch… ?”
Yura was just taken aback by the number on the monitor.
[78309]
It was an unprecedented, fundamental number.
