Episode 23 Bloodline Discovered (2)
A few days later, Kwon Wol returned to the Heukcheon family.
It was a time when I was spending time leisurely at home.
Joo Ha-yeon held out a thin slate the size of a notebook. It was a memory page to learn skills.
“This is the sub-space skill that the president promised. Since the president is very busy, I received it myself.”
Gwonwool received the memory page.
As expected of subspace skills, the memory page was shining in golden color, which signified unique quality.
When the memory page was divided in half, it became a shining powder and was absorbed into the body.
＜You have acquired the skill ‘Goblin’s Secret Place’.＞
The goblin’s secret warehouse.
-Quality: Unique (S+)
-Description: Opens an invisible warehouse where goblins have been hiding things. Items up to 50 kg can be stored.
After using the skill, a black hole appeared in the air.
When I put my hand into the hole as a test, I felt a strange foreign body sensation.
“This is amazing.”
“And please accept this too.”
Joo Ha-yeon held out a large box. The box contained several items.
“What is this again?”
“These are the items you need when attacking a dungeon and the medicine you will use in case of an emergency.”
Kwon Won-ul picked up the medicine bottle and checked the label on the outside.
“Mansumugang Co., Ltd.… … Could it be that the pharmaceutical company famous for charging millions of won for each ointment?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Dungeons are inhabited by all kinds of creatures that are not on Earth. Because of this, the pharmaceutical industry that makes medicines using such organisms has developed greatly in modern times.
Mansumugang Co., Ltd. is one such pharmaceutical company. What is unusual is that only high-quality materials are used to make medicine.
“I heard that Mansumugang needs tens of millions of won to buy proper medicine… … .”
Kwon Kwon-ul checked the amount of medicine in the box. No matter how low it was, it seemed that hundreds of millions would easily be exceeded.
“Did the president give you this too?”
“No, this is a gift I prepared for you.”
Kwon Kwon-ul made a surprised expression.
“I’m so sorry if this happened.”
“Originally, when you acquire a subspace skill, it is customary for people around you to fill in the contents.”
Joo Ha-yeon told her not to be burdened, but her conscience prevented her from doing so.
Kwon Kwon-wool decided to accept it gratefully, thinking that he would definitely repay it later.
This is because it is no exaggeration to say that highly effective medicines are a second life.
“And in the afternoon, I have a reservation to visit Heukcheon Vigo.”
“I’m just picking out stuff for a while. Do I need to make a reservation too?”
“Heukcheon Vigo is protected by hundreds of times the security system. That’s why it’s designed to be open only at set times.”
Heukcheon Vigo contains all the treasures of the Heukcheon Group.
There must be a lot of people aiming for this place. Security had to be tight.
“Kwon Han-ul, have you thought about what you will get from Heukcheon Vigo?”
“I haven’t decided yet.”
“Heukcheon Vigo is unimaginably wide. You should set aside a month to see everything. You have to think ahead and go in.”
Considering the status of Heukcheon Vigo, whatever you bring will help.
However, such a good opportunity should not be used sparingly.
“I don’t know what I might need.”
At present, there is no part that I feel is lacking greatly.
A whopping three bloodlines and a wise dragon, ascending sky. And even the Gyoryongjiche and Yongju.
The current Kwonwool is Attack, Defense, Stamina, etc. It was perfect in every way.
“I think the elixir will be most helpful for now.”
“If you don’t mind, can I make a recommendation?”
“As much as you like.”
“I recommend learning movement skills, including footwork.”
movement skill?
It was something I had never even considered.
“There is an aura teleportation technique. Do I really need to learn movement skills?”
As soon as Kwon Wol acquired the Dragon Demon, he freely used the Aura movement technique.
The level was so outstanding that no one could match it.
“Kwon Han-ul’s Aura teleportation technique is excellent. When dealing with monsters, it’s a level that’s full of kicks. However, monsters aren’t the only enemies Kwon Wol-nim will have to face from now on.”
Joo Ha-yeon was right. Kwon-wool’s main enemies are not monsters, but humans, more precisely, the blood relatives of the Dark Heaven.
“The most important thing in a person-to-person battle is the presence or absence of footwork. To preoccupy an advantageous position in battle and seize the opportunity to attack. It’s all because the foot law decides.”
There is a saying that sewage builds muscles and drummer trains feet.
“In fact, footsteps can still be learned. There are numerous skills deployed in the Black Heaven group for the clans. These are all excellent skills, but… … .”
“It’s not enough to get ahead.”
Joo Ha-yeon nodded.
“Moreover, footwork is more important than anything else in fighting the Mei family. Their skills are quirky, and if you have a low level of footwork, you will be defeated before you can fight properly.”
“All right. I’ll bring the foot method from Heukcheon Vigo.”
“Thank you for taking my advice. Then, Gwon-ul-nim, let me ask you one more question.”
What else? Kwon-wool listened to Joo Ha-yeon’s words.
“An excellent step with high safety, and a step that is dangerous but worth surpassing it. Which of the two do you want?”
“The second, of course.”
Gwonwool immediately replied.
“My situation is not easy enough to safely become strong, right?”
Joo Ha-yeon smiled silently, probably liking Kwon-wool’s answer.
“Then I will tell you what items to bring.”
* * *
Heukcheon Vigo was located deep underground in the Heukcheon family.
Kwon Kwon-ul was able to board the elevator leading to Heukcheon Vigo only after passing through five gates guarded by heavily armed hunters.
A few minutes to drop the elevator going down at high speed.
Finally, we arrived at the entrance of Heukcheon Vigo.
“hello! My name is Sujin Kwon, who is in charge of Vigo’s security!”
The person in charge of Heukcheon Vigo was a woman who seemed to be about the same age as Kwon Kwon-ul.
“I heard a lot of stories! It’s true blood! I never thought I would see true blood in my life!”
“Nice to meet you.”
“You don’t even have to say hello! I’m a blood relative from the branch family, so I’m not in a position to be greeted by Mr. Kwon Wool… … Thank you though!”
And she was a very lively woman.
“I heard you made your debut in Platinum Dungeon? Such a person is one of the best in the history of Dark Heaven! You are so amazing!”
“I was lucky enough to break it.”
“No luck! Never raid the Platinum Dungeon alone! never! It’s not something you can do with luck! It’s something that a black dragon blood like me can’t even dream of! You are so amazing!”
Sujin Kwon’s eyes were shining brightly. It was like a fan who welcomed an idol.
It was a fairly, no, very burdensome response.
“Then come this way. I’ll guide you to Black Sky Vigo!”
Kwon Wool-wool followed Kwon Soo-jin and moved on.
After passing the cavity where the elevator stopped, a huge door appeared, reminiscent of a fortress.
“From now on, we will begin the procedure to unlock Vigo’s security. After the safe is opened, Mr. Gwonwool can look around Vigo for an hour.”
Sujin Kwon approached the door and began to go through various procedures.
Fingerprints, irises, blood, blood vessels on the back of the hand, magical properties, magical patterns, and so on.
After dozens of authentication procedures were completed, all sorts of noises began to be heard from beyond the door.
The roar of engines, the friction of huge gears rolling, the sound of heavy iron hitting each other.
Soon after, the iron gates slowly began to open left and right.
And what appeared was another elevator.
“Let’s go!”
I boarded the elevator with Sujin Kwon. When I glanced at it, I could see the number of floors reaching 30 basement levels.
It was truly enormous. You’re only given an hour to look around.
It was for security, but it was too much.
“Then, what floor shall we take you to? For reference, the 1st to 5th floors are where the elixirs are collected… … .”
Sujin Kwon gave a rough explanation of Remarks. Gwon-ul cut off his words and said.
“The 30th floor, please.”
At those words, Kwon Su-jin said as if she was admiring them.
“You’ve already figured out what you’re going to bring! Also great! Then I’ll take you to the 30th floor!”
When Sujin Kwon pressed the floor number, the elevator started to move.
After going down for a while, the elevator stopped.
“Now then, look around! Don’t forget that the time limit is 1 hour!”
The specific appearance of Heukcheon Vigo was similar to that of a warehouse-style mart.
High and wide display stands made of steel bars were lined up, and various items were placed on them.
Kwon-wool started to wander around the interior of the 30th floor. It was after he had already obtained all the information from Joo Ha-yeon.
Where to go and what to choose. I already knew everything.
‘I was told to look for leather boots that shine bright blue.’
While looking for boots, I was able to see several amazing items.
None of them were great. There were a lot of items that would make a hunter’s eyes widen.
However, Gwonwool did not even pay attention to other items.
Soon after, Kwon-ul was able to find what he was looking for.
In the corner of the display stand, a pair of blue boots was getting dusty.
Gwonwool returned to the elevator with his boots.
“You came back quickly! uh… … ?”
Kwon Soo-jin, who found the blue boots, made a puzzled expression.
“Are you sure you want to pick out those boots?”
“it can not?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do… … .”
Sujin Kwon put on a troubled expression.
It was natural to have such a reaction. The boots Gwon-ul brought were completely messed up.
It is safe to say that the leather was rags, and the stitching was not done properly, and the shape and form were uneven.
It was something that I couldn’t understand that it was in Heukcheon Vigo.
“How about choosing another one?”
“it’s okay. I will choose this one.”
“but… … all right.”
Sujin Kwon said as if he couldn’t help it. Gwon-ul took his boots and walked towards the elevator.
Then, suddenly, I stopped walking.
“wait a minute.”
“Oh, you want to choose something else?”
Sujin Kwon said with a smile. But Kwon-wool didn’t stop because of that.
It felt strangely familiar.
Kwon-wool moved to the direction where he felt the energy. I stopped at the farthest corner of the 30th floor.
‘what? there is nothing… … .’
Gwon-ul, who was looking around, bent down and put his hand on the ground.
Then a message popped up.
＜Detects true Black Dragon Blood.＞
＜You have found the secret safe belonging to the owner ‘Kwon Hyeon-moon’.＞
＜Would you like to enter the authentication process?＞
My heart started beating wildly.
As in the case of Yonghyeon Mugo and Yeo Eui-seok, Kwon Hyeon-moon’s arrangement for the true Heukryonghyeol existed in Heukcheon Bigo.
what the hell is in this With throbbing anticipation, I reached out my hand to the safe.
＜The assimilation rate is low, so the safe cannot be opened.＞
However, Heukcheon Vigo’s arrangement was not so smooth.
I tried again, but it was the same.
‘I’ll have to come back later.’
In the end, Kwon-wool had no choice but to return to the elevator, leaving his regrets behind.
* * *
Kwon Kwon-ul, who left Heukcheon Vigo, headed straight to the mansion. He held out his boots to Joo Ha-yeon, who was waiting at the mansion.
“Are these the boots you are talking about?”
“Yes, you brought it exactly right.”
“But do these boots really fit you?”
Gwon-ul said as if he was suspicious. It wasn’t just because the boots didn’t look good.
Dolphin Boots
-Quality: Unique (E-)

1. It will never be destroyed.
The information displayed on the status window was also lacking.
“Kwon Han-ul, in this world, what you see is not everything. The status window is no exception.”
Joo Ha-yeon took out a small glass bottle with a cork. Inside the glass bottle was a viscous liquid.
“what is that?”
“It is the devil’s magic.”
Gwon-ul’s eyes widened.
After the dungeon appeared, numerous monsters appeared on Earth.
Among them, monsters called demon species were so dangerous that they invaded the earth by forming an army based on their high intelligence.
Even now, there was even a guideline that if a demon species appeared, it must be annihilated.
“Isn’t demonic magic a dangerous thing that individuals should not possess?”
“I happened to have it.”
What happened?
Was the devil’s magic something that could be possessed by chance?
The more I know this person, the more I don’t know.
“If you apply this demonic magic to your boots, interesting things happen.”
Joo Ha-yeon poured the devil’s magic into her boots without hesitation. Then the description displayed on the boot changed.
The seventh leg of the Marquis of Barnack.
-Quality: Legendary (S+)

From noble mtl dot com.
1. It will never be destroyed.
2. If you pass the devil’s test, you can inherit the power of the Duke of Barnark.
“You can obtain an item that allows you to inherit powers by killing demonic monsters.”
Gwonwool looked at the boots with a surprised face.
“You have to pass the test, and the big problem with that test is that you can die if you do it wrong, but the power of the devil is worth it.”
Kwon-wool came up with a question.
How on earth did Joo Ha-yeon know all this?
From the exact location of the boots, that this is an inherited item. He even possessed the demonic magic needed to awaken boots.
I knew from before that Joo Ha-yeon was not an ordinary person, but what she showed today was shocking in many ways.
“There was a reason you warned me in advance that it was dangerous.”
“It’s okay if you quit.”
“No, if I can’t overcome this level, I can’t do anything.”
Demons are stronger the higher the title.
If it was a marquis, it would be the third highest title among demons. If it was the authority of such an existence, it would have tremendous power.
Kwon-wool made up his mind and put on his boots.
＜The devil’s test begins.＞
A shady aura rose up through his legs. It took over the body in an instant without resistance.
It darkened before my eyes, then brightened again.
This wasn’t a mansion. Floating above the stormy expanse.
＜Are you the one who will inherit my authority!＞
A thunderous roar was heard. Tearing through the storm, a demon appeared.
It had a human-like appearance, but was tall enough to easily exceed 5 meters in height.
Kwon-wool was able to infer the identity of the devil without difficulty.
Marquis of Barnack.
He was the master of authority.
＜I wondered if the authority would disappear like this. Great! great!＞
Marquis Barnack laughed cheerfully and ran through the air.
Every time he punched the air, the storm intensified and thunder and lightning struck.
Gwon-ul realized. That this is the power that the devil had while alive.
＜Wait! You’re not the devil! human? Do you dare to try to inherit my authority!＞
Marquis Barnack’s eyebrows rose. He hovered around Kwon-wool and burst into anger.
＜We’ll make this cocky bastard pay for it! I will give you a test that is many times as difficult and terrible!＞
The devil’s magic encroached on the sky.
great spirit.
I felt as if my breath was constricted.
＜The test for you is… … Okay, let’s start by lightly surviving at this height.＞
survive? What do you mean?
At that moment when Kwon-wool was embarrassed, the feeling of floating suddenly disappeared.
“What?”
The body started to fall downwards. The air hit my whole body.
When I looked down, I saw the ground.
No matter how high he fell, the land mass looked like a miniature.
To survive this height?
The fear of the mogol-eul was eating away at the whole body.
＜If you survive at this height, I will pass on my powers to you.＞
It couldn’t have been a crazy test. How can I survive at this height without a parachute?
He struggled with his limbs, but to no avail.
Kwon Kwon-ul’s body continued to fall downward. I couldn’t think of any way to survive.
It was then.
＜True Black Dragon Blood senses demonic power.＞
＜I am furious at the demons who dare to invade my territory!＞
Suddenly, Gwon-ul’s body stopped in mid-air.
At the same time, the dark clouds were torn apart, and the storm and thunderstorms dissipated.
＜Heh, heh heh heh!＞
Suddenly the demon screamed. I screamed in disbelief.
＜No, nonsense! This, how can a human use a dragon… … Oh no! no! I can’t give in to humans!＞
A roar came from somewhere. At that moment, the demon’s body was torn apart.
＜True Black Dragon Blood absorbs demonic power.＞
＜Assimilation rate 16% -＞ 18%＞
＜Inherit the powers and skills of the demon Marquis Barnark!＞
“… … her.”
I wished things could be this easy.
Darkness covered my eyes again. When I opened my eyes again, the scenery of the mansion came into view.
He lowered his head and looked at his ankles. There was a tattoo like a whirlpool.
“Kwon Han-ul! You passed the test safely!”
Joo Ha-yeon shouted as if she was happy.
“How was the exam? How did you pass?”
Joo Ha-yeon inquired about this and that, but had no answer. That’s also because he passed easily thanks to the Black Dragon Blood.
“Let’s test the authority first.”
Kwon Kwon-ul secretly changed the topic.
I closed my eyes and summoned the devil’s power. The air in the room moved and a wind began to blow.
＜Use the power of the Marquis of Burnak.＞
＜A gust of wind helps you!＞
“Demon Barnark was famous for his grotesque movements. If you develop that authority, you will be able to create your own footsteps.”
Just then, Joo Ha-yeon’s phone rang. After answering the phone, I told Kwon-ul.
“Kwon Han-ul, the president is calling.”
“What is it?”
“They say they are starting a meeting because of a group match with the Mei family.”
The thing to come has finally come.
