Park Jin-woo lightly beat the flames stuck to his shoulders.
‘Oh, it’s really itchy.’
One of the biggest weaknesses of the dealer type warrior series.
It is weak against magical attacks with attributes.
This was also true of Park Jin-woo.
He was also a dealer-type warrior who focused on speed, and was weak in defense as he had unusual movements and powerful offensive means.
Such is the reason why he was able to easily defeat Goo Myung-hoon’s [Fire].
‘The fire resistance must be quite high.’
That’s Park Jin-woo’s special ability.
This is because the fire resistance has reached 6.
Unlike general stats, fire resistance is a stat that can only be raised through special circumstances.
As long as the acquisition conditions are not specified…
If you can raise that ability, the effect is significant.
Thanks to this, Park Jin-woo was able to easily overcome Koo Myung-hoon’s unskilled [Fire] despite the fact that his fire resistance level was only 6.
It had been over a month since Park Jin-woo had acquired such an intolerance ability.
‘Do Jae-hyun, you damn bastard.’
His only friend, Jaehyun Do.
Thinking of him, Jinwoo Park sharpened his teeth.
Do Jae-hyeon is a holder who mainly uses physical attacks, but is a skilled multi-holder who can freely use magical attacks as well.
Among his attribute magic runes, if we had to pick the most difficult one.
Also [Smoldering Flame].
Upon reaching a high level, his fire-elemental magic attacks flew in regardless of direction and situation, and the intensity was never negligible.
So, whenever Park Jin-woo was fighting Do Jae-hyun, he always had to be helpless by this [Scoring Flame].
Even if he was lucky enough to avoid it, it was the same difficult thing as he had to keep in mind that Do Jae-hyeon had such a magical attack.
‘… I didn’t know that it would even create runes.’
I was beaten by Do Jae-hyun every day like that, and even though I knew I was going to get hit, I started running again…
The unfamiliar fire attribute attack was also getting used to.
And in the midst of a fight.
Gearco Park Jin-woo succeeded in acquiring the runes based on this special situation.
[Body heating up endlessly! Your body becomes increasingly indistinguishable whether it is skin or metal. Flames are blazing all over the body.]
[You have obtained a new rune, ‘Burning Skin’.]
[Acquires 1 Intolerance with the runic tendencies.]
[Immunity is activated in the holder information.]
Acquisition of runes is generally made during ‘holder awakening’, but it can also be obtained through special realization or various experiences after awakening.
A typical example is [Magic Control], which many people learn by entering the academy.
And in the warrior series, there are [Samjae Swordsmanship] and [Meat Defense], which are learned with common runes.
[Burning Skin] was also a kind of acquired rune acquisition.
Even with high-level fire attacks on Do Jae-hyeon, he was hit a lot, so he developed a tolerance for it, and naturally a related rune was created.
Originally, Jinwoo Park had the talent to develop [burning skin], and it was advanced through Do Jae-hyeon.
Anyway, I got the runes and stats related to intolerance like that, and fighting Do Jae-hyeon and growing them…
Now Gu Myung-hoon’s [Fire] level has become an itchy level.
Park Jin-woo smiled and looked at Gu Myung-hoon.
“Senior, bite your teeth.”
A second-year senior who ruined the atmosphere of Circle with logic close to sophistry.
Now it was time to fix that mentality a bit.
“Chase.”
“What, what?”
Goo Myung-hoon shouted in surprise.
But there was no time to answer him.
Fierce energy gathers from the sword Park Jin-woo is holding.
The ultimate skill of his main Epic Rune [Quick Sword that can’t be chased].
[Interlude].
As the name of the rune suggests, it is an extreme physical attack skill that slashes the opponent 17 times by swinging the sword at the highest speed that cannot be chased.
Although it uses some magical power, the centerpiece is the ultimate skill in swordsmanship.
Pad-Pabat-!!
The moment Gu Myung-hoon was about to do something.
Park Jin-woo’s sword had already reached his shoulder.
17 slashes followed.
The ‘slash’, which continued at an invisible speed, broke through Goo Myung-hoon’s high endurance level and caused intense cuts and blood fountains.
“Shut up… !!”
Even if there is [Meat Defense], it is of no use.
The ultimate skill [Interlace Charm] has the effect of ignoring the opponent’s durability by a certain number in the skill itself.
From the moment the conditions came to break all the attacks of Goo Myung-hoon’s conversion and write [Biwolcham]…
Victory was already like that of Park Jin-woo.
bang-!
“End of Dalian. Park Jin-woo wins. Please take care of Yoo Ah-ram and Koo Myung-hoon.”
“yes!”
A beacon sounded from the second floor.
Do Jae-hyeon and Yoon Ji-ah were watching the referee from the center.
Both sides agreed and announced the end of the match.
And Yoo Ah-ram, the only Shinsung class in the circle, came down to the hall and started treating Goo Myung-hoon.
It was a battle that ended really quickly.
Goo Myung-hoon, whose body was tattered by an intense rapid attack.
He looked at Park Jin-woo as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Nonsense. How can a C-class holder… .”
Complex emotions were mixed on his astonished face.
That he lost, and that the match ended so quickly.
and…
Park Jin-woo’s ‘ultimate skill was used’.
They all looked in disbelief.
Park Jin-woo replied with a smirk.
“Did you say? The difference in experience of one year is not that important. Sometimes there are newcomers who go beyond the expectations of the seniors.”
Obviously, Goo Myung-hoon was ahead of him in ability.
He is a fairly competent holder in the second-year warrior class, and he was also an expert who recently climbed up to a B-class holder and finished capturing it.
However, Park Jin-woo is also a C-class holder who has reached the B-class threshold.
The difference in ability was at most 5, at most 7 or so.
And the difference is…
Park Jin-woo’s rune settings of various epic and rare grades, the rune level that he raised much faster than others due to [seeker’s sweat], and the combat sense accumulated through various experiences were enough to cover it.
Goo Myung-hoon started being careless from the beginning.
It was a fight he could never win.
Park Jin-woo put his sword in and said to Goo Myung-hoon.
“I tell you in advance, our circle president, you are twice as strong as me. Do you know what it roughly means?”
“… … .”
At those words, Goo Myung-hoon’s expression rotted in an instant.
A face whose self-esteem was severely damaged as if he had chewed on something.
Do Jae-hyun become the chairman now, no complaints?
It was because Goo Myung-hoon knew better than anyone that Park Jin-woo was saying that.
* * *
The noisy hall became quiet.
The power that Park Jin-woo just showed.
Seeing how overwhelmingly Gu Myeong-hoon was overpowered, the members who were watching with interest also froze for a moment.
‘I didn’t control my power at all and I’m tired… .’
I knew Park Jin-woo was going to win.
As someone who fought against Jin-Woo Park from time to time, I know Jin-Woo Park’s skills better than anyone else.
Unlike the original, he did not learn [Wave Swordsmanship] from Professor Tak Won-ho, but he advanced the level of acquiring [The Unchasing Quick Sword] much earlier… The combat concept was completely focused on speed.
Its depth cannot be measured simply by holder grades.
He is probably much stronger now than he is now.
No matter how talented Goo Myung-hoon was in his second year, there was no way he could overcome the original protagonist who received all kinds of buffs.
‘I didn’t know there would be intolerance, but… .’
I was also surprised when Gu Myung-hoon’s [Flame] was blown off like dust.
When did the special ability bloom again?
Perhaps it was right for me to use [Smoldering Flame], so [Burning Skin] seemed to have bloomed earlier than I expected.
Anyway, the dirty main character buff.
It was Park Jin-woo, who was quick to catch up again, if he thought he had opened up the gap.
“This first year… That’s great.”
Yoon Ji-ah, who was watching Dalian’s judgment with me, murmured.
Her gaze was fixed in the center of the dance hall.
The results of this confrontation must have been quite shocking.
I scratched my head in embarrassment.
“He is sleeping. It’s not like I just went out.”
Yoon Ji-ah’s gaze turned to me again.
“Aside from that, didn’t Do Jae-hyun hold a B-class holder that was going mad?”
“Ah, that’s where Moon Ga-eun helps… ”
After trying to make excuses that I’ve been tired of saying for days…
I just smiled and nodded my head.
“Yes. The members were recruited with some strong boys. You might end up fighting a villain, but a weak Adlon is dangerous.”
“That is so true.”
As if to admit it, Yoon Ji-ah laughed too.
And then he spoke with an apologetic expression on his face.
“I apologize for Guo Myung-hoon holder. Maybe it’s because he’s a friend who has been blindly trusting me since I was a kid… I don’t think I made a rational decision on this matter.”
“no. It’s a Dalian that all the members agreed to, and it’s also true that Yoon Ji-ah has a lot more experience.”
He waved his hand and signaled that he was okay.
‘It’s just Goo Myung-hoon who’s your friend… .’
Yoon Ji-ah is also a victim in a way.
In the beginning, he was a person who refused the position of vice-chairman, let alone chairman of Circle, but his image was indirectly damaged because he got caught by a certain pedophile… .
Yet she was still important in our circle.
Kang Joo-yeon is a key figure in the growth of Joo-yeon, and the experience of being the chairman of a circle will be a great help in the future operation of ＜Anti-Villain＞.
“More than that… I don’t know if you’ll stay in the circle.”
I turned my gaze to the center of the gym for a moment.
Goo Myung-hoon is receiving treatment for a severely injured shoulder.
He was still glaring at Park Jin-woo with an angry expression.
It was a stance that could never admit that he had lost.
‘… It would be better if I quietly left the circle.’
He was the one who caused a riot, and he was embarrassed by this, so it will probably be difficult for him to be a normal member.
Normally, I would go out on my own feet.
But as Yoon Ji-ah is a parent, I don’t know how it will come out again.
It might be left in a circle after laying on an iron plate… .
Even thinking about it, I changed my mind.
Sending out Gu Myung-hoon directly seemed to be something to consider as a circle chairman.
