132 – Slave Bread (2)
Enhancement type abilities.
It is the power to strengthen a specific part.
One of the common awakening abilities, but quite useful.
Of course, even so, the fact that it is a common ability remains unchanged, so hunters’ party preference is quite low.
Hwa-ryun Kang is a person with the ability to strengthen the body.
You can increase everything in your body as you like.
For example, grip strength, dental strength, physical strength, leg strength, physical strength, body vision, regenerative power, etc.
It’s a pretty useful ability because you can use it complexly depending on your capabilities and can strengthen more parts.
However, there are many evaluations that it is lacking compared to other abilities.
Because the ability to strengthen the body is close to the power to assist.
Comparing it as a game, should I say it’s more like a buff that increases your attack and defense?
Because of that, it’s quite difficult to defeat a monster with only the body strengthening ability.
Even if you strengthen your strength, your endurance, or your dynamic vision, you’re inferior to a monster.
Even if a young boy can develop the strength of an adult man, can he not defeat the beast?
There is a clear gap between the strength of the body and the powerful monster.
Of course, I don’t know if I can defeat low-level monsters, but this applies only to low-level monsters.
The higher you climb the tower, the stronger the monster.
The limits of the body’s ability to strengthen have only become clearer.
That’s why people’s opinion was that it was difficult to subdue high-level monsters with ‘only’ the body reinforcement ability.
…… Well, this story is just old common sense that has been shattered by the first appearance of a high-ranking body enhancer.
Because the high rank body enhancement ability that first appeared was really powerful.
Like that ganghwaryeon over there.
‘That level of strength.’
It was difficult to calm my startled mind even though I had already watched the battle video for Ganghwaryun several times.
Most of the videos I watched were ranking battles from the academy days or videos of beating monsters that appeared in the city, but Kang Gang-ryeon solved the problem with incredible strength.
In the video, Ganghwa-ryeon simply punched his fist with an expression of annoyance. But her power was overwhelming. The surroundings were shattered in half by the wind pressure, and the monster’s flesh was crushed.
After watching that scene several times, I couldn’t help but put on a really tired expression.
“Ah. It’s a bit difficult.”
Ganghwa-ryun glanced down at her right arm from a distance away from her, slightly frowning her brow.
“My clothes are torn because of the wind pressure. It’s made of a pretty tough material. If she had known it would be like this, she would have changed into a Dalian uniform.”
Ganghwa-ryun was waving her right arm and making a mischievous expression.
I quietly looked at Ganghwa-ryun’s right arm.
The area from her wrist to her shoulder was torn.
The white and smooth forearms of Ganghwa-ryun were clearly visible.
Such beautiful forearms, but I didn’t have time to pay attention to them now.
“Come on. Shall we try again then? Hey. Han Seo-jun, don’t play around and do it properly.”
“… ….”
“The psychokinesis and freezing abilities that I just showed aren’t everything. Try blowing something stronger.”
“… ….”
A stronger attack?
No?
The telekinesis and freezing abilities that I showed earlier were my strongest blows.
However, I couldn’t show my weakness like an idiot, so I slowly gathered my abilities while maintaining an expressionless expression.
After a while, I bit my lip and stomped my foot strongly.
Then, starting from the ground where I was lowered, ice slowly started to sprout, and before I knew it, I was able to harden the entire floor of the arena.
A kind of ice sheet was made.
“Ice?”
Ganghwa-ryun gently removed her foot.
She brushed the ice cubes off her shoes.
She glanced around her for a moment, then Kang Hwa-ryun blew her breath. Her pure white breath flowed out. She felt the temperature drop rapidly, but I also felt a bit cold. However, this will not have any effect on Ganghwaryun.
“That’s quite right. It froze the floor of this large arena all at once. Does this look like a skating rink?”
Ganghwa-ryun is her strange talent, but she eats and laughs like someone who saw it.
“Freezing the ground to make it difficult to move? So that I can slide?”
Taking out a new candy from her inner pocket, Ganghwa-ryun quickly peeled off the wrapping paper from her and she munched on her candy with an expression that didn’t look like anything special.
“If that’s true, I’m a bit disappointed.”
Ganghwa-ryun finished her words and suddenly lifted her left foot slightly and tapped her on the ground using only her ankle.
Then, wouldn’t the frozen ground sway like a swinging bridge with a roaring sound like a building collapsing?
Damn it! Blah blah!
It reminded me of a drought.
Cracks appeared in all directions like a dry rice paddy.
Eventually, Ganghwa-ryun rolled her foot once more, and the ice sheet that covered her floor shattered into pieces and floated into the air.
A feast of beautifully falling ice sculptures.
Ice pieces were falling helplessly.
At some point, the ice sheet was damaged in a mess.
Ganghwa-ryun took a bite of her candy with a calm expression.
“Stop doing useless tricks. No fun.”
It doesn’t work either.
I thought it wouldn’t work in the first place.
Anyway, is that really human strength?
It’s not like you were tearing monsters apart with your bare hands.
‘Anyway, don’t worry, let’s continue.’
I focused on ignoring Ganghwa-ryun’s words.
I gently put my hand on her ground and gathered her freezing ability into one place.
It was intended to create a beehive by creating ice spears under Ganghwa-ryun’s soles.
After a while.
Suddenly, something rose from the ground.
Twenty ice spears aimed at Kang Gang-ryun’s life.
Enchantment Ryeon’s arms, legs, stomach, neck, and head were all flooded with ice spears.
Ganghwa-ryun, who glanced down at her ice spear as she sprang up, meekly took her attack with a nonchalant expression.
If I was a normal person, I would have become her hedgehog.
“Hey.”
However, Ganghwa-ryun was not an ordinary person.
The moment her ice spear collided with Ganghwa-ryun’s body, her ice spear shattered powerlessly. It was as if she had pierced steel with a glass spear. It was a very obvious story, but Ganghwa-ryun’s body couldn’t get a single scratch.
“My clothes are tearing. It really bothers me.”
All the Ice Spear could do was tear Ganghwa-ryun’s clothes.
Ganghwa-ryun is currently wearing her black suit pants, a white shirt, and a chalk hanging around her neck. However, due to the ice spear, her clothes were torn quite a bit here and there.
The suit pants and dress shirt were torn, slightly exposing the thighs and lower belly. It also peeked out a little on his chest. Ganghwa-ryun snorted at her, saying ‘huh’ as if she felt the gaze.
“Where are you looking?”
“… ….”
“Baby. Still a man in the form.”
“… ….”
Ganghwa-ryun was always full of leisure.
“Okay then, is it my turn? Stop you too.”
Ganghwa-Ryeon raised her right hand gradually and started aiming at me, as if she had suddenly decided to launch her attack.
With her fingers bent, she took a stance, and she stared at me.
What had shattered her pillars of ice with just the wind pressure of her last night flashed through her mind.
Are you coming?
I made up my mind.
From now on, I had to be alert.
“If you focus the power of your fingers on one spot and shoot it skillfully, you can do something like this.”
Paaang!
Pagong sound tapping on the ear.
But it is not as wide as before.
It started to rush straight like an air gun.
“Ugh.”
From noble mtl dot com
I used my freezing ability to create a thick ice barrier, but the hole pierced like a sheet of paper.
Breaking through a block of ice this thick?
I was just dumbfounded by the wind pressure that penetrated the futile fleeting moment.
Is that possible with common sense? I had my doubts, but now I needed to evade the wind pressure, so I hurriedly rolled my body.
Then isn’t the compressed air brushing my cheeks roughing the wall behind me?
Kwaa, kwaaa, aaang!
With an ear-piercing roar, the walls of the arena collapsed.
The white wall fell off and I swallowed my dry saliva. f*ck with
. What is that. The conversation is cold.
Wouldn’t it kill you if you hit it straight?
“Yeah. You dodge well.”
Hwaryeon Gang muttered a little regretfully.
2 Years?
‘I don’t know if I could really cross the Jordan River if I was beaten straight without using my body strengthening ability?’
Of course Ganghwaryun knew how to use my body strengthening ability and launched such a powerful attack.
The last time I subdued 8 monsters, I used my body strengthening ability to block the 5th level monster, Grandel’s claw attack.
You know very well that you won’t die from an attack like this.
‘But with that much power, I don’t think it’ll be safe even if I use the body strengthening ability.’
It’s really incredible power.
Are S-Rank talents this strong?
I thought I had gotten pretty strong too.
“Hey. Wake up and block it straight this time.”
Ganghwa-ryun raised both her hands.
She immediately got into her tummy tuck position and then she hit her tummy tucks one after another.
No sh*t? It’s like a machine gun, I’m going to have a good night! Was shooting
‘Mi, crazy!’
Perhaps it was because he fired lightly without gathering his strength properly, but it was far less powerful than before.
The previous attack was a cannon, but the current attack was a machine gun.
‘Can I avoid it?’
No, it can’t be avoided.
Now I have to choose defense, not evasion.
I quickly made a decision and made full use of my freezing and telekinesis abilities to block Ganghwaryeon’s continuous night attacks.
Using both abilities at the same time was tricky in many ways, but somehow I was able to succeed.
“That’s quite right.”
At that sight, Ganghwa-ryun laughed happily.
“Looking at it online, I’ve become more proficient at using my abilities. Did you do any special training in the meantime?”
I felt like I looked up what happened at the cafe the other day on the Internet.
Certainly at that time, I was having a lot of trouble using both the freezing ability and the telekinesis ability at the same time.
Of course, the difficult things haven’t changed even now, but it’s enough to block Kanghwaryeon’s attacks.
…… Well, it would be the limit to prevent Ganghwa-ryun from hitting the jackpot for fun.
“I think this would be at least a B+ skill level?”
I don’t know if it’s a compliment or not.
I thought I had a level of A rank, but from Ganghwaryun’s point of view, it seemed to be a little lacking.
‘By the way, that guy doesn’t use melee attacks either.’
She’s been acting like a joke since earlier, but do you think approaching her could be a bit dangerous?
‘Well, Ganghwa-ryun doesn’t know how much ability I’m hiding, so I guess I need to be careful.’
But if that’s the case, it’s a bit difficult.
There is no way to win if Ganghwa-ryun doesn’t approach.
It is obvious that Ganghwaryun will fall far away even if I approach it.
She had to force her to launch her melee attack herself.
‘Whoa. Okay, then shall we try a little more provocation?’
I swallowed dry saliva and slowly opened my mouth.
It was a bit risky, but it was inevitable in order to defeat Ganghwaryeon. She needed to attack more boldly.
“Hey, Seojun Han. With what kind of confidence did you really ask me to fight…….”
“What?”
After Kang Hwa-ryun stopped talking, he threw a sudden provocation.
“Why are you talking so much? Noisy.”
“Ha. This bastard is out of his mind.”
Ganghwa-ryun shook her head with her pitiful expression and looked at me pitifully.
“I was useless talking about a topic that I couldn’t properly block my last night.”
“You were scared, right?”
I could see the tail of Ganghwa-ryun’s mouth twitching slightly as she was giggling in her posture that night.
Her pride seemed to have been damaged at the words, “Are you scared?”
Hwaryeon Kang stared at me with a ferocious look, frowning her eyebrows.
“What kind of bullsh*t is that?”
“No. You’ve been playing all night long.”
She pretended to strike a chestnut in the air while taking a similar posture as if imitating her striking chestnut in Ganghwa-ryun.
“You’re acting like you’re joking, but in reality, it’s awkward to approach you, right?”
“Ha.”
“I asked if you were looking at me from earlier, but you are looking at the liver. Is it because you’re a little scared because you don’t know what ability I might be hiding?”
“You’re giving me sh*t because you play around with me.”
Ganghwa-ryun, who slightly covered her lower lip, responded with a growl.
“Why? Right? If it was you, you would have punched her from close. Since when did you say that you were the kind of person who clucked at a distance? Is not it?”
As I threw a joke while playing the beetle, I could see that Ganghwa-ryun’s forehead had a blue tendon growing.
“Since ancient times, it has been a medicine for idiots.”
“Hey. Ganghwa-ryun.”
“Why are you crazy?”
“But why are you so confident from earlier?”
Ganghwa-ryun looked at her with nervous eyes as her shoulders trembled at my questioning question.
“Isn’t that a common reinforcement system ability? What can you do with useless hard and strong abilities?”
“Don’t you think you’re being robbed all the time for a guy who says that?”
“I was joking around on purpose to make fun of you. But you don’t know that, and you’re elated. It was kind of funny.”
“Wow, you bastard. I really can’t. Were you originally like this?”
No.
To be honest, I don’t like hairy lips either.
But if you don’t keep scratching like this, you won’t attack properly, will you? So please come and see.
“But looking at your skills, I thought it wouldn’t be necessary. Was it just what you thought? At a glance, the estimate came out. You don’t have to look at this anymore.”
“Let’s see, this bastard really is.”
Ganghwa-ryun couldn’t stand the continued provocation any longer. She scratched her teeth and glared at me ferociously.
“You really die after that. I was only going to kill half of them, but do you really want to die?”
“No. Who wants to die?”
“Then why don’t you shut that mouth?”
“If you don’t want to listen, shut my mouth. Oh, are you saying you can’t do it because your skills aren’t good enough?”
Hwa-ryeon Kang breathes slowly, ‘Whoa…… ‘ He exhaled.
“Hey. Seeing that you keep opening your mouth, you want me to attack you properly, right?”
“No. Just keep teasing me from a distance. You’re scared and won’t approach me anyway.”
“This son of a b*tch talks so f*cking hard.”
Ganghwa-ryun brushed her bangs roughly and suddenly opened her eyes bleakly.
When she thinks of Ganghwa-ryun’s personality, she won’t stand it any longer.
Even though she provoked her this far in the first place, she doesn’t have the personality to endure. She will respond to her provocation with a high probability.
“Okay. I’ll close that mouth, Han Seo-joon. No regrets, really.”
Raising her head, Ganghwa-ryun immediately stepped on her left foot and stepped forward with her right foot.
I’m half serious.
It’s not like overnight.
I’m about to swing her fist. I was determined.
Calm down, Seojun Han. Just do it according to plan.
‘Comes.’
Pot! Do.
It was the moment Ganghwa-ryun took her step.
With the turbulent wind pressure, the appearance of Ganghwaryun vanished.
‘As expected, it’s fast.’
She is much faster than Mina, who has the ability to move at high speed. It was truly a super-fast leap.
‘I couldn’t see anything moving.’
It wasn’t a level that I could keep up with with my moving eyesight.
Missed her movements despite enhancing her torso vision. She was still concentrating. Is it not okay too?
‘I can never catch up to that speed right now.’
But it doesn’t matter.
It’s okay to miss Ganghwa-ryun’s movements.
It was because she thought that she would not be able to keep up with Ganghwa-ryun’s movements in the first place.
I have watched Ganghwaryun’s sparring videos dozens or hundreds of times.
As a result of constant observation focusing on her attack, defense, evasion, and movement, I was able to understand Kanghwa-ryun’s behavioral patterns to some extent.
Something like Habits and Habits that even Ganghwa-ryun doesn’t know about.
‘That guy has a habit of lightly rolling his left foot on the ground when he makes a serious first charge. And most of his first leaps attack after occupying the opponent’s left diagonally behind.’
It was about a 70% chance.
7 Times out of 10, the other person did this.
But what if Ganghwa-ryun leaped to a different place this time?
There is nothing to ask.
What’s the f*ck up…….
But I bet everything on this 70% chance.
The reason why Kanghwa Ryun continued to provoke was to increase this 70% chance.
Because Ganghwaryeon tended to reveal his habits the more he got angry.
‘Please.’
I eagerly hoped that I would move as I thought, and I turned around as hard as I could and checked my back diagonally to the left.
Now then.
“What is it? Did you manage to react?”
I could clearly see Ganghwa-ryun occupying my back.
It was the result of prediction.
I was really lucky.
If Ganghwaryeon jumped to another place, it was game over.
Kang Hwa-ryun looked slightly surprised.
It seems you didn’t expect it to respond to this speed.
He seemed to think that it would be okay if I applied an unresponsive attack even if I was hiding a dangerous ability.
“But it’s already too late.”
Ganghwa Ryun swung her right hand.
It is an attack with tremendous power.
Even if you give halfway, you don’t have the skills to block that attack.
Because I didn’t have enough fist speed to react.
Her arms trembled even though she knew she wasn’t swinging it with the intention of killing her.
Ganghwa-ryun’s superpower was, I dare say, close to her tyranny, so even if I used her body strengthening ability, freezing ability, and telekinesis ability in combination, it was close to impossible to block her.
…… Unless, of course, I hadn’t prepared anything.
‘Now!’
I immediately activated ‘Marking’.
Marking is almost my only original skill.
This is the skill I used the most during ranking matches during my academy days. This marking technique can take away the power of the target it touched once from a distance. Earlier, when Ganghwa-ryun grabbed her by the collar, I secretly marked the back of her hand.
Of course, the efficiency of this marking technology is not good.
It cannot be compared with direct contact.
It is truly the difference between heaven and earth.
But it doesn’t matter now.
This is because a slight gap occurs when the ability is suddenly absorbed through a technique called marking.
It may only be for a moment, but if you suddenly lose strength, your body will naturally lose its balance.
So I had to take advantage of that short gap.
“Huh?”
It was an unconscious moment.
Absorbed some of Ganghwaryun’s abilities through marking.
I could feel the unknown intangible power being absorbed.
It was only an insignificant amount of power.
In slang terms, you could say it was just the tip of the iceberg.
It didn’t have much of an impact on the current Ganghwa Ryun.
But this is enough.
Hwaryeon’s attack was slightly delayed.
I couldn’t miss this short opportunity.
“You!”
You have to move before you can regain your balance. Ganghwa-ryun, embarrassed by the unexpected situation, gritted his teeth.
I strengthened her arms using the body strengthening ability and telekinesis ability that I had saved up until now.
Then, very quickly, I tried to bring my hand to Ganghwa-ryun’s body. Ganghwa-ryun must have sensed her sense of danger, so he clenched her fists, which had lost a little bit of strength, and swung them at me. Ah. f*ck.
‘If I do it wrong, I’ll get screwed.’
Before Ganghwa-ryun could swing her fist properly and gain her momentum, she quickly made physical contact with her to neutralize her, but she was a little late.
As expected, I felt like I had to be prepared for half of my hands and arms to be harpooned.
With my left hand, I stretched out my hand toward Ganghwa-ryun’s body, and with my right hand, I took a defensive stance against Ganghwa-ryun’s fist.
At the moment she was hit by Ganghwa-ryun, she could use her absorption ability to take away her power, but her inertia and physical energy couldn’t be stopped, so she had to somehow endure those fists that had already started rushing in quickly.
“…… !”
Just before Kang Hwaryeon’s fists met.
My left hand touched Kang Gang-ryun’s chest first.
There was no time to feel the touch of her soft breasts.
I used the absorption ability without delay while holding Ganghwa-ryun’s left chest tightly.
“Uh, ugh?! Poetry, f*ck! What?”
In an instant, it absorbed the power of Ganghwaryun.
Ganghwa-ryun twisted her body slightly with her perplexed face.
But soon, her eyes tightened up! And then, wouldn’t it be better for her to swing her fist as hard as she could before taking all her strength away?
f*ck?! What!
Joe, you’re f*cked.
Normally, this should be enough to incapacitate you!
However, her strengthening stamina was different from that of ordinary people.
Ganghwa-ryun gathered her remaining strength with her last shot.
‘Can you stop it?’
Without even thinking about it, kwaa, aaang!
From noble mtl dot com
Suddenly, Ganghwaryeon’s fist collided with my right hand.
I tried to defend Kang Hwa-ryun’s fists tightly, but the tremendous wind pressure raged along with considerable pain. She almost fell over because she couldn’t balance her body, but thanks to her telekinetic ability, she was able to regain her balance.
My hair fluttered here and there.
Unable to overcome the fierce wind pressure, her clothes were torn a little more.
It was a fairly weak fist, but my right hand looked like it was about to fly. He felt cracks in the ulna and elbow of her right arm. Her right index and middle fingers were broken. sh*t, sh*t. Did you wield this on me? You really almost died Did you have this much power left?
‘f*ck…… Dog hurts…….’
If I hadn’t prepared properly, it wouldn’t have ended with cracks in my bones.
It seemed to be even more powerful because it was a reflexive fist.
If you get hit in her face, you’ll die instantly.
‘Keuugh…… I expected…… Really…… It hurts…….’
I cried in my heart.
It really hurt like hell, but I managed to stop it somehow.
Therefore, don’t make a painful appearance like a back body and show yourself confidently.
I pretended to be as expressionless as possible and took a relaxed attitude.
It was necessary to convey the feeling that such an attack was nothing.
Ganghwa-ryun put on a slightly surprised expression as she gasped for breath and blocked her own fist.
“What have you done to me!”
Ganghwa-ryun squealed at her and tried to get away from me.
But it’s already too late.
Because this match was decided by blocking Kang Hwaryeon’s final blow.
Ha ha, ha, ha.
I took a deep breath in my heart.
It was difficult to come to my senses because of the sharp pain from the broken ulna and finger.
I am not proficient enough to use my abilities freely in this agony. I bit my lower lip and concentrated. Ganghwa-ryun had to use his absorption ability before he could move.
“Whoa… ….”
I exhaled a warm breath and then, holding her hardened right hand tightly, I used my absorption power with all my might.
“I can’t let go of this hand…… Huh? Ugh, ugh, what the heck?!”
That was the end.
