Crimson Dragon follows the flow of his soul and soon meets Seo Hyun-woo’s gaze.
Seo Hyun-woo was immersed in doubt, showing indifferent eyes.
‘…why is my soul being absorbed by me?’
A dragon’s soul could only be possessed by a dragon.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Moreover, unlike magic, the dragon’s soul could not be seen or sensed by humans.Even so, Seo Hyun-woo broke all the rules and smoothly absorbed the soul of the Yellowy Dragon.
‘There’s no way I could have inherited a dragon’s bloodline… Is this because of my ability to transform into a dragon?’
It wasn’t impossible, but it was very unlikely.
Having a dragon’s blood and using the ability to transform into a dragon were completely different concepts.
Because the fact that you are a human doesn’t disappear just because you use the ability to transform into a dragon.
‘If it’s because of the dragon’s protection, it makes a little sense.’
The protection given by the dragon contained the origin and magic of the dragon.
In some ways, it could be said that it is similar to the bloodline of a dragon.
‘Then, it’s not that I’m getting stronger, but the protection of the dragon’s getting better?’
Seo Hyun-woo seemed to ponder for a moment, but soon understood.
With the dragon’s protection, the spirit of the Yellowy Dragon was obtained, of course, only the dragon’s protection had to be affected.
In conclusion, it should be seen that the freezing attribute and the ability to transform into a dragon have become more powerful.
‘It’s not bad. It’s beneficial just to keep the Crimson Dragon in check.’
If the original content was followed, the Crimson Dragon had to absorb every soul.
When the crimson dragon regained its power, it also meant that it was more likely to become an enemy.
Having weakened the Crimson Dragon in this way, I thought it might be a little reassuring.
‘Nikerai…’
The corpse of the Yellowy Dragon was rapidly disappearing.
Nikerai watched the process quietly with her head bowed.
Seo Hyun-woo felt a sense of tension and began to raise a large amount of magical power.
‘What were your thoughts on coming here? Thanks for your help, but if you’re going to fight us…’
But Nikerai was not the first to attack.
Nikerai was reluctant to fight and enjoyed being alone.
If they were attacking, there had to be a good reason.
“…that one looks more difficult.”
“Looking at it, it looks like it’s level 2 or higher.”
“Because it’s a Specter, we have an advantage.”
The three Setinos Hunters are the first to step forward and prepare to fight the Nikerai.
On the other hand, Nikerai completely annihilated the scythe in his hand and looked out at the humans.
‘They are strong humans.’
Nikerai thought about the battle with them for a moment, then shook his head.
I couldn’t be sure of victory.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Moreover, there were three people with strong divine power among them, so battles had to be avoided unconditionally.‘I can’t talk to them. then…’
Nikerai started walking slowly with the manastone left behind by the Yellowy Dragon floating in the air.
Then, it stops immediately and places the Mana Stone on the ground.
‘This should be enough for you to understand what I’m trying to say.’
Nikerai writes something on the ground with her purple-tinted fingers.
When they are finished, they gently wave their hands at the humans and leave immediately.
“…what is that?”
“It looks like you said hello to us.”
“I looked like that too.”
“It seems they have no intention of fighting us. So I guess he picked up the magic stone from the monster and put it down again.”
Seo Hyun-woo answered without taking his eyes off Nikerai.
Perhaps Nikerai did that because he did not want to cause any misunderstanding.
“So you mean that lizard has something to do with it, and it has nothing to do with us?”
“It seems so. That monster must have a grudge. When Jinha Kang and I attacked monsters for the first time, I got help from that specter.”
“Because you don’t know, it’s better to wait a little bit. It may be a trap.”
All the team members agree with Han Yoo-jung’s remarks and do not move recklessly.
It looked like Nikerai was manipulating something on the ground, so I was suspicious of it.
However, Seo Hyun-woo was already aware that Nikerai was a means to communicate his intentions.
“If you have dug a trap, you should have left some magical energy. But I can’t find any other magical powers other than magic stones.”
“Still, you have to be careful. You don’t know what kind of abilities that specter has, do you?”
“You can’t use your abilities without magic, can you? If traps are also part of your ability, you can’t escape from that principle.”
“…”
The team members are a bit suspicious of Seo Hyun-woo’s words, but reluctantly agree.
To create a gate connected to a dungeon or use an ability, you must have magical power.
Nothing could be done without magic power, and even the smallest trickery was not allowed.
Of course, abilities outside of those rules could be used, but no cases have been reported so far.
“Then the three of us will approach it first, and the other team members will follow.”
“That would be great.”
Yoon Se-in, Han Yu-jeong, and Shin Da-hee got on the Spirit of the Five Colors and started approaching the stone.
The remaining team members follow after him and do not lose sight of his vigilance.
“… there really is nothing.”
“There is no problem with mana stones.”
“What does this picture mean?”
Dahee Shin murmured while looking down at the sign painted near the magic stone.
Two swords were pointed at each other, and a large X was superimposed on the mark.
The three looked at the sign for a while, and then came to a conclusion.
‘You have no intention of fighting us.’
‘Are you going to communicate in this way? Do you have human-like intelligence?’
‘The undead will try to avoid a fight…’

Inside the Absolut’s president’s office.
Lee Min-seong dismantled the battle suit and immediately returned to the president’s office.
His face was deeply concerned, and he could not accept the reality in front of him.
All the water in the coffee maker was boiling, but even that didn’t catch my eye.
‘Justia, how strong was that monster?’
– … Unlike the monsters that appeared in Bukhansan, it was quite powerful. It was predicted that it would be able to withstand at least two attacks, but even that was impossible.
Justia has been recording all the battles she’s fought while wearing a battle suit.
It was to comprehend the information related to monsters and the actual information of the battle suit as a whole, and to compensate for the problems associated with it.
However, this battle was not worth analyzing the record, and there was not even a point of improvement.
‘The development direction of the battle suit was wrong. I only thought about killing monsters, but I completely forgot about the possibility that the battle suit would be completely destroyed.’
Lee Min-seong has been through numerous battles while wearing a battle suit, but he has never felt so miserable.
The Revenance 22 was a battle suit that raised the power consumption and armor durability to the limit, assuming a battle with large monsters.
Even so, he could not withstand even a single attack in a fight against a large monster.
– Boss, the conditions given are different for the monsters of Bukhansan and the monsters of Munsusan. Both suffered injuries, but the Bukhansan monster was more serious.
‘You can’t use that as an excuse. It was the same first-class monster. In Bukhansan, I endured little by little and even activated the disarming function. But now I can’t even use it!’
– …
Justia is unable to come up with an appropriate sentence and swallows silence.
Battle suits were always being developed, and Revenance 22 was just one of them.
If there was enough time and capital, one day, it would be possible to produce a large-scale battle suit that surpassed Revenance 22.
But Lee Min-seong couldn’t even wait, so he was so angry and suffering.
‘The attribute ability type battle suit currently being developed must be temporarily suspended. We will postpone all the battle suits planned for development until later.’
– What are you going to do?
‘I’m thinking of making a battle suit that can completely replace Revenance 22.’
– Boss, it’s not possible right now. Spend a little more time developing…
‘I must do it now. It’s a matter of my pride.’
Lee Min-seong immediately sits down at his work desk and quickly taps the keyboard.
Various security programs are released one after another, and several blueprints are spread out on the monitor.
Lee Min-seong created a new blueprint and started writing the official version and unique name as it is.
[Revenance 36, Dragon Buster Design]
[Revenance 22, aims to develop a battle suit that can compensate for the shortcomings of blockbuster and can defeat first-class monsters.]
[Improving the power efficiency of the battle suit and improving the durability of the armor will be prioritized.]
[In addition to that, the additional goal is to greatly strengthen the disarming function and add a ranged attack function.]

The top floor of the Hunter Committee, the chairperson’s office.
As soon as Choi Seung-ho finished the videoconference, he slowly got up from his seat.
This subjugation also ended safely with no casualties.
In addition, the new Setinos Hunter was also decided, so it should be said that a lot of changes have occurred.
‘…that’s weird. When there are no casualties, the student council president of Miterichi is always included.’
Choi Seung-ho leaves the chairperson’s office with a solemn expression on his face.
In any subjugation, casualties were inevitable, and the success of subjugation was not guaranteed just because of excellent skills.
But isn’t it always surprising that these common senses are turned upside down whenever Seo Hyun-woo participates in subjugation?
‘Do you have anything special besides your skills and talents? This is enough to be considered a hunter born of heaven.’
Choi Seung-ho opened the window in the hallway and took in the fresh air.
At some point, it seemed that all accidents were solved with Seo Hyun-woo as the center.
In fact, Seo Hyun-woo made a big contribution in this subjugation, and the Setinos Hunters did not spare high praise.
‘Baek Jeong-woon’s nephew is also unexpected. That’s enough for a Purple Hunter… No, it might be considered as a Black Hunter level.’
Baek Seo-yeon also received as much attention as Seo Hyun-woo.
It was because he was the nephew of Baek Jeong-woon, who is the pinnacle of the Ganghwa system, and he had special abilities.
In addition, he was not defeated by any other students except Seo Hyun-woo, and he was holding the position of the vice president of the Miterichi student council.
‘All Setinos Hunters unanimously chose Kang Yujin. It’s not common to see abilities transforming during subjugation. Is it also related to the student council president of Miterichi?’
