197 – Awakening-3
I am weak.
In an absolute standard, it may be on the axis that is not weak.
I haven’t awakened yet, but I can still easily beat C-level monsters, so I can’t say I’m weak from an average point of view.
but i am weak
why?
Because the kids around me were too strong.
There was no need to go all the way to Huaryeon.
I didn’t even have to go to Hayeon.
To put it a little worse, I didn’t even have to go to the younger age.
Because I couldn’t even beat Liu Ying.
I, weaker than everyone around me, was always protected by them.
My worrying about them was overtaken by one word, don’t worry, and saying don’t worry about me didn’t mean much.
Even if you don’t worry on the outside, you worry on the inside and listen to protect me.
So I am weak
It is a being that is protected by someone.
-Puhahahaha! I was nervous because he overcame himself so easily, but this is no different from a blind man! What are they and how can they lower your ego like that!
What is that man doing? Isn’t it a situation where I shouldn’t cross the wall?
It was a word that sounded like mocking me, but if interpreted differently, it was also a word that sounded like some kind of encouragement while looking at me pathetically.
‘I don’t have to listen to the enemy.’
When he was about to cut off completely from the outside world, he heard a voice other than his.
-You have to keep working hard.
It wasn’t the boss monster’s voice.
It wasn’t even Hyunsu’s voice.
Then who can talk to me?
‘ah.’
When I thought about it, it was the voice of the vampire who gave me the marble earlier.
I thought it had completely disappeared, but it seems to still be there.
“Is it okay if I keep working hard?”
That sounds funny.
I know very clearly the example of not being steadily diligent.
Of course, this is not my story.
I was in a state where I had given up on becoming stronger until a while ago.
Then who are you talking about?
‘Liu Ying.’
she is non-awakened
However, as a disciple of the Heavenly Demon, he devoted his whole life to training.
Even she can’t win against a normal S-class Awakener, let alone her classmates.
How is Kwonma? You fought with Hayeon and lost.
They are warriors who have practiced martial arts all their lives.
How can I get over the wall they couldn’t cross?
-Constantly, you have to be diligent.
Words that were no different from what I said earlier came through my ears, as if I didn’t like my attitude.
It contained a little irritation, but it was hardly different from before.
‘Show me a case that can be done with steady diligence.’
Liu Ying also failed.
Kwonma also failed.
Everyone else has failed.
In the midst of this, shouldn’t you show me a successful case to give me hope?
– I’ll show you.
As soon as her words were mixed with words, her eyes went white.
A small girl appeared in front of me.
Her hair was white and her eyes were red.
A child wearing tattered clothes worked for a blood noble.
The girl longed for strength.
I wanted to become stronger and escape from slavery.
Even though he was born at the lowest level among vampires, he wanted to rise to the top somehow.
While digging, she practiced martial arts in her spare time.
He gave up sleeping time in order to use the power of the blood within his body.
When 50 years passed like that, the girl was able to kill the nobleman who was her master.
The girl who killed her master took his master’s blood.
Reborn as a high-ranking vampire through her master’s blood, she was now able to become strong enough to satisfy herself.
‘It’s just that you have talent.’
Fifty years is a long time from a human point of view, but from a vampire’s point of view, it wasn’t that long.
Because the lifespan of a vampire is incomparably longer than that of a human.
In my eyes, it was only seen as getting out of the bottom ranks simply through talent.
I didn’t have that kind of talent.
Are you trying to tell me that my thoughts are mistaken?
The wall she faced next was bigger than any wall she had ever faced.
“Would you like to come with me?”
She was a bright shining girl.
A girl who was born with great luck, as if all the luck in the world went to her, and was also born with a brilliant talent.
It was also ambiguous to compare it to Hwaryeon.
The gap between the vampire and the girl was as big as the gap between me and Hwaryeon.
The vampire experienced great despair as he followed the girl.
What she had been training her whole life for, the girl did so easily.
The vampire couldn’t follow the girl’s footsteps even after months of hard work.
she was desperate
I stopped at the gap I couldn’t keep up with and cried in place.
My appearance overlapped with that pitiful, miserable appearance.
She wandered for 100 years.
Realizing that there was a mountain she couldn’t reach no matter how high she climbed, she couldn’t go any further.
She knew very well that all her efforts would be meaningless in front of the girl.
It was the girl who showed her the wall that brought her out of the mire.
The girl who had grown wonderfully over the past time grabbed the vampire and led it.
After 10 years of constant urging from the girl, the vampire was barely able to stand up.
After that, it was an obvious story.
The vampire subjugated countless vampires and gained experience to approach the girl.
On the day that nearly an eternity had passed, the vampire was finally able to stand right next to the girl.
‘Is that about you?’
– Yes, that’s my story. how is it? I think the difference in talent between you and Hwaryeon is smaller than the difference between me and Ah… the girl. Can’t you catch up enough?
‘I don’t know if it’s possible.’
The moment I acknowledged her words, Hwaryeoni, which had been huge like Mount Tae, shrunk in size.
While Hwaryeoni was getting smaller, the other kids couldn’t stand up properly.
Ha-yeon, Wol-ha, and Su-ah became smaller in an instant and disappeared before my eyes.
‘But your story is very special. It’s like something out of a fairy tale. And you had a lot of time.’
The reason she was able to catch up with the girl was because she was running into a wall.
She must have been able to catch up with her because she had reached her limits.
Of course, Huaryeon is now also blocked by a wall.
But unlike her, I was a human who couldn’t live another 100 years.
-I’ll help you. If you can use my power well, you can definitely catch up with Yoo Yu-ryun. And if you say you’re getting stronger, will the girls around you leave you alone? Each one will do the best they can to help you. Aren’t those conditions as good as me with the girl’s help? Do you think it’s worth a try at least?
can i do it
Does it make sense for me to catch up with Hwaryeon?
‘Yeah f*ck, didn’t Mr. Vampire catch up with the girl too? What is it that I can’t do?’
And if you can’t do it, what if there must be value gained in the process?
The size of the hwaryeon got smaller and smaller.
Hwaryeon, who had the size of Taesan, became smaller and smaller and shrunk to a size similar to mine.
-This is… nonsensical!
I heard the scream of the boss monster.
– That’s nonsense! How could an underdog like you ever dream of catching up to such a monster! You can’t beat that bitch! To be protected by her forever!
If you were going to say that, you should have done it sooner.
Before the vampire showed me his life, if he had shown me that it was my future, worked hard, and eventually despaired and became a puppet for the children, I would have been tempted enough.
“Yeah, no. I can catch up with Huaryeon.”
– Stop talking nonsense! A medicine man like you…
The sound of the boss monster gradually faded.
The walls around it began to crumble. A structure that seemed never to collapse began to crumble.
-For no reason, making an agreement with them… Wait… No way!
The sound of the boss monster, which had been cut off for a while as if investigating something, soon returned to a louder voice and resounded loudly.
– You damned bat bitch! That’s why I put these conditions! bitch like a dog! When I go back, I won’t leave you alone…
In the middle of talking, the sound of the boss monster completely cut off.
All the structures that made up the gate disappeared, and a bright light shone in front of me.
When I opened my eyes again, I was standing alone in the basement that was no longer twisted.
Some of the enormous mana that came out of clearing the gate entered my body, and I was finally able to experience awakening.
‘Is this the Awakener’s gaze…’
I was able to handle the mana inside my body freely.
Unlike before, when Hyeon-soo dealt with the movement of mana, I was able to fully handle mana.
However, there was one catch.
The mana mass near my heart stopped listening to my commands.
