Episode 14 Bloodlines meet (1)
Kwon-wool had been wrestling with training equipment in the training room since early morning.
He squatted while bending and straightening his knees while carrying a barbell with bull-sized plates on his left and right shoulders.
Every time he moved, the blood vessels throughout his body constricted. Sweat poured down like rain. The floor was already full of puddles.
＜Healthy blood detects violent movements!＞
＜Muscles throughout the body are overworked! You will recover quickly with the effect of healthy blood!＞
＜All stats increase by 0.2!＞
＜The effect of Yeoui-seok increases your stats by an additional 0.1!＞
Every time Kwon Wol moved, a message popped up. However, Gwon-ul did not have the time to read the message right now.
Because my head was full of other thoughts.
‘The armor will be completed in three months.’
It’s already been a week since Kwon Wol went to the workshop.
Naturally, Kwon-wool accepted Park Tae-sik’s proposal. The world’s best craftsman makes the best equipment, but who would refuse?
The time Park Tae-sik promised is three months later.
It fit perfectly with the deadline set by the chairman for Kwon-wool before his debut.
‘It’s not unique, it’s legendary armor.’
Park Tae-sik nailed the quality of this armor as Legendary.
Legendary.
It was a word that made my heart ache just thinking about it.
Befitting the meaning of legend, Legendary equipment has tremendous performance.
Some people saw the legendary item and said it was a tool of God that works miracles.
In addition, this armor was designed by Park Tae-sik, the world’s greatest master, to maximize the power of Black Dragon Blood and Black Dragon Twelve Seungmu.
It was clear that it would be much better than most legendary items.
It was when Kwon-ul’s thoughts reached there.
＜All stats increase by 0.2!＞
＜The effect of Yeoui-seok increases your stats by an additional 0.1!＞
＜Strength (C), Stamina (C), Agility (C) will be converted to Strength (B), Stamina (B), Agility (B)!＞
Kwon-wool quickly put down the barbell. The floor vibrated faintly with a thud.
Soon, changes began to occur in the body.
Like a hot spring springing up from the ground, hot energy filled his body.
The muscles swelled up and shrank repeatedly. The bones of the whole body moved around and settled back into place.
The strange phenomenon soon ended. Gwon-ul said while wiping the sweat from his face.
“Status window.”
Awakened: Gwonwool
Title: Owner of Yonghyeon Mugo, Owner of Yeoui-seok
Strength (B) 0.00 / Agility (B) 0.00 / Stamina (B) 0.00
Magic (B) 0.02 / Sense (B) 0.01 / Spirit (B) 0.04
The phenomenon just before was a reorganization of the body that occurred when all stats reached B.
If you are a person who has been given steroids up to C grade, you can be said to be a superman from B grade.
That’s why the body had to go through the process of changing to match the power of a superman.
The reason Kwon-wool suffered from this time was because the notice was right in front of him.
Gwonwool completed the achievement of Grade B, which other blood relatives took a year, in just three months.
‘It’s all thanks to healthy blood.’
Even if your stamina runs out, you can fully recover in just a few minutes. Even if the body was damaged by overexertion, it was completely restored the next day.
Thanks to the power of health blood, Kwon Wol was able to continue high-intensity training.
As a test, I held the barbell I had just used in my hand.
150kg each, two 300kg each. If you add the weight of the bar, it goes much more.
What used to be held with both hands can now be held with one hand.
‘With this, I have now fulfilled the conditions for my debut match.’
The conditions for the clan of the Black Sky to debut are all abilities are B grade or higher, the basic form of the Black Dragon Twelve Seungmu is 5 stars or higher, and the assimilation rate is 30% or higher.
In the case of Gwon-wool, almost all conditions were satisfied.
Its ability level is also B-class, and it has reached 5 stars in the basic form of the Wise Dragon Ascension.
Only one assimilation rate did not rise from 9%, but I did not worry too much.
‘It shouldn’t matter since I’ve also defeated a blood relative of a branch with an assimilation rate of over 30%.’
It was just a little disappointing.
When the assimilation rate reaches 10%, the authority is unlocked. I was wondering what the alternative power would be.
‘Anyway, the first test is passed.’
The chairman told me to make my debut within five months, but I achieved the condition in three months.
However, Kwon-wool had no intention of making his debut right away.
It was because he had to pass the second test the president said.
Clearing a platinum level dungeon alone.
‘In order to challenge the Platinum level, all abilities must be A-level, and the level of Ascension of the Hyeonryong is up to 7.’
No matter how healthy Kwon-wool is, it was practically impossible to raise all abilities to A within two months.
‘It must be a condition set to see if I can eat this or not.’
Kwon-wool took out a small purple marble from his bosom.
The inside of the Imoogi.
It was obtained by his father, Kwon Chun, and came to Kwon Wol through the chairman.
The top-notch inner team does not simply increase stats.
Depending on the occasion, a special ability may be obtained, or the achievement of a skill may be increased.
If you consume this inner altar, your abilities will increase as well as your achievement in the Sky Dragon Ascension.
From noble mtl dot com.
In order to consume this inner altar, a condition was attached that it had to be detoxified first.
‘Poison resistance raised through health blood is 50, and detoxification is 47. This is enough to neutralize the poison.’
everything went smoothly
But why? Kwon-wool has often felt frustrated lately.
‘It’s probably not because of my father.’
It was an absurd reason to even think about it. Kwon-wool grew up in an orphanage. They don’t even know their parents’ faces, let alone their affection.
But now that my father is worried about me.
‘The master thinks that his father has been kicked out.’
Kwon-wool remembered what Park Tae-sik had said. In the end, I couldn’t believe everything because it was a foreigner’s words.
‘There is no possibility… … Yes.’
A straight pine tree will soon be cut down. Because it is valuable and there are many places to use it.
And humans are no exception.
‘What the hell happened to your father?’
and.
‘Why was I abandoned?’
Unanswerable questions kept running through my head.
‘Is there any way I can find out more?’
It was when Kwon-wool was thinking. The door to the training room opened with a loud noise.
“So then I saw him very… … .”
More than 10 branch families froze as soon as they saw Kwon Kwon-wool.
Soon, they stood side by side and bowed their heads toward Kwon Wool.
“Meet the blood relatives of the original family!”
It was an embarrassingly polite attitude.
After the incident with Kwon Ji-seok spread throughout the family, the attitude of the blood relatives towards Kwon-wool completely changed.
I was afraid and in awe of him. Every time they met, they saluted and avoided their seats.
He is now receiving the treatment that a pureblood deserves.
Kwon Kwon-ul passed by his blood relatives and tried to leave the training room.
Then, I suddenly noticed.
“It’s oddly familiar… … Have you ever met me?”
At the question of Gwon-wool, all the blood relatives of the Bunga knelt down.
“Lord, I have committed a mortal sin.”
“That, we don’t even know what happened that day!”
“Guo, Kwon Woo-jin, that bastard decided on his own!”
Gwon-wool was finally able to recall.
The reason their faces are familiar is because they were blood relatives who were with Kwon Woo-jin.
While Kwon Woo-jin quarreled with Kwon-ul, they did not stop and stayed still.
He is crawling on his own because he is afraid that Kwon Wol will ask for the crime.
“I don’t see a person named Kwon Woo-jin, but where did he go?”
“Uh, Woojin… … No, he’s been locked up in his room lately!”
“Now it must be that he realizes what he has done and is hiding!”
Each of the blood relatives cursed Kwon Woo-jin.
‘I have to ask whose owner it is.’
On that day, Kwon Woo-jin’s behavior was somewhat strange. Gwon-ul didn’t think he would ever move alone.
“All right. Then everyone take care of yourself and exercise well.”
Gwon-ul took another step. As soon as he left, the blood relatives let out a big sigh of relief.
“I thought today was the anniversary… … .”
* * *
When I came out, Joo Ha-yeon was waiting for me. Joo Ha-yeon handed over a towel and a water bottle.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“It was something I wanted to do well. But how did you know I was here?”
“Every morning he comes back drenched in sweat. Haven’t you decided where you’re going?”
Gwon-wool glanced sideways at Joo Ha-yeon while drinking water.
He was dressed neatly and modestly, but his appearance was not. Even though I had known her for such a long time, I still lost my eyes whenever I saw Joo Ha-yeon.
‘To make Joo Ha-yeon on my side?’
Kwon-wool recalled the conversation with Park Tae-shik.
* * *
It was after accepting Kwon-wool’s order.
“good. I will definitely complete the armor within three months.”
“thank you.”
“Then, let’s talk about the public story… … May I ask you something?”
“What do you mean?”
“How did you convince Ha-yeon?”
It was an incomprehensible question.
“He’s a kid who didn’t follow anyone’s orders except for Kwon Seon-woo. Aren’t they sticking close to you?”
“The president ordered me to assist, so I am with you.”
“You don’t know what you are talking about. He is the one who didn’t listen to the president’s orders.”
“Is that okay?”
“Others would have been kicked out right away, but… … Because it’s Hayeon, the chairman couldn’t even say something.”
Kwon-wool made an expression that he did not understand. Park Tae-sik made a slight impression.
“This friend doesn’t know anything about Ha-yeon.”
“I know that you are in a high position and that Kwon Ji-seok is trying to get you into the team.”
“It’s not just Kwon Ji-seok. The older brother, Kwon Chan-seong, and all of his branch family members are eager to take him.”
I knew that Joo Ha-yeon was amazing, but I didn’t know it would be to that extent.
“Why does everyone want Ha-yeon so much?”
“Because I have that much skill. He has no pedigree, but he has great talent.”
“Are you talking about a gift?”
Gift.
It is a special talent that only extremely rare Awoken people can obtain. Some have even called it a superpower, not a talent.
Famous hunters around the world are all gifted geniuses.
“In order for the clans of the Black Sky to be successful, they have to build their own team and work outside. If, at that time, you can attract Ha-yeon to your team, it will be of great help.”
Park Tae-sik added, crossing his arms.
“But it won’t be easy. When Ha-yeon was young, Kwon Seon-woo took care of her. That’s why I regard him as the sky. It will be difficult to make it on your side.”
“I have no intention of doing that anyway.”
Park Tae-sik made a strange expression at those words.
“Once you see Ha-yeon’s ability, you’ll be able to say that.”
* * *
“Ha-yeon, if I make a team, will you help me then?”
In response to Gwon-ul’s question, Joo Ha-yeon said right away.
“I only serve the president.”
Kwon Kwon-ul laughed bitterly at the answer as expected.
“Then I can’t help it.”
“But I think I can help you, if only for a moment.”
But the next answer was unexpected. Kwon-wool asked with a surprised face.
“Because of the president’s order?”
“Even if it’s not an order.”
What does this mean? This person occasionally confuses me.
“The meal is ready. Just go back.”
Joo Ha-yeon took the lead. Gwonwool also followed her towards the mansion.
Then, I saw something strange in the sky in the distance.
Several large transport planes were flying here carrying the corpses of giant monsters.
“That… … ?”
“It’s Eclipse.”
Joo Ha-yeon, who was by her side, said.
“It is a monster with SS rank danger. It is a monster that completely destroyed southern Africa.”
If it’s Eclipse, I’ve heard of Gwon-ul.
The devil of the sea was hunted down despite the fact that nations tried to unite and hunt them down.
Since that day, the Southern Ocean of Africa has ceased to belong to mankind.
“Why is that monster… … .”
“It looks like Chansung Kwon has returned with the team.”
Kwon-ul recalled an article he had seen a while ago.
It was an article about the eldest son of Heukcheon Group Vice Chairman Kwon Chan-sung, a world ranker, and his subjugation team set out to hunt Eclipse.
When I read the article, I thought Eclipse would be difficult, no matter how pure-blooded.
However, Kwon Chan-sung and the team proudly hunted Eclipse and brought back the body.
If you want to discuss the strongest, look back at Heukcheon first.
Those words made me feel anew.
What kind of monster is Kwon Chan-sung who defeated that monster?
Gwon-ul felt intense curiosity.
“Where are those helicopters going?”
“You must be on your way to the workshop. There is a dismantling team there.”
“I’m sure Kwon Chan-sung is also riding in that helicopter, right?”
“Perhaps. If it’s a monster the size of Eclipse, there will be a lot of people targeting it, so you’re probably riding a helicopter as an escort.”
“Let’s follow it.”
Gwon-ul changed his direction to the charter plane.
But something was strange.
The large transport planes carrying Eclipse’s corpse were heading toward Kwon Kwon-wool.
“Hayeon? I guess I’m looking at something wrong. is that right?
“It seems that you are seeing it correctly.”
The transport helicopters, which were getting closer and closer, gradually slowed down.
Thanks to this, Kwon-wool was able to thoroughly scan the body of the Eclipse.
It had dozens of octopus-like tentacles attached to its body reminiscent of a carnivore’s skull.
What surprised me was its size.
Its main body was the size of a mountain, and its tentacles were large enough to tear down tall buildings.
Such a monster was dead with its head split.
Judging from the clean cross-section, it was clear that it had been split in one blow.
“How… … .”
It was when Gwonwool was trembling.
The transporter’s door opened with the sound of metal scraping. Fifteen people jumped from there.
Even after falling from a height of 300 meters, it landed lightly like a feather.
one of them shouted.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it myself, so I almost missed it!”
I think he was around mid 30’s.
Above his handsome appearance, a big-hearted aura was splashing around. Even so, I felt a heaviness that was difficult to deal with carelessly.
“Should I call you my cousin, or should I call you by your first name! No, it doesn’t matter what the title is!”
The man strode towards Kwon-wool.
It seemed like a natural disaster like a typhoon or tsunami was coming, not a person.
“nice to meet! My name is Chansung Kwon!”
The moment I saw Kwon Chan-sung, I was immediately convinced.
That it was this man who split Eclipse’s head in one blow.
“I don’t like to turn around! So tell me straight!”
Kwon Chansung held out his hand and said.
“Join my team, Gwonwool!”
It was a bombshell declaration.
