Episode 68: Succession Ceremony (1)
Bone metamorphosis
It refers to a phenomenon in which all of the muscles, organs, and other parts of the body are completely reborn.
All abilities of the body that has undergone the metamorphosis are improved.
The power simply improves, and the mana is handled well. It’s not that level.
The basis as a living being is different. The level of existence rises.
It is said that the combat power improved through the metamorphosis is 3 to 4 times more than before.
Because it was so amazing, there are only one or two people who have experienced metamorphosis among world rankers.
“I’m interested, but… … Why are you asking that?”
Suddenly, Nomura Masataka looked around. After lowering his voice, he whispered.
“Takamine Hospital has developed a treatment method for round bone metamorphosis after long research.”
“… … Is it really?”
When Kwon-wool reacted, Masataka Nomura smiled with a satisfied face.
“Of course it won’t be easy. All the artifacts and facilities of Takamine Hospital must be mobilized, and an enormous amount of elixir is required. Once the procedure is performed, all the artifacts in the hospital stop working, so it has to be closed for over a month.”
To the extent that Takamine Hospital, which is mentioned as one of the best hospitals in the world, had to close.
It literally means that everything in the hospital has to be replaced.
“What would you do if I told you to do that procedure for you?”
“Are you talking to me?”
“Yes, I like a young man with a promising future like you. Moreover, if you are a blood relative of the Black Sky, wouldn’t there be nothing wrong with investing? but… … .”
Masataka Nomura’s eyes changed.
“As I said before, metamorphosis is not easy. As a hospital, it’s a huge burden, so it’s hard to carelessly treat it.”
“Then it’s fine.”
When Kwon-wool refused with a single knife, Masataka Nomura’s expression collapsed slightly.
“Are you okay?”
“I can’t ask for something that puts a burden on the hospital. Most of all, right now I am concentrating on my mission, so I have no time to focus on anything else.”
Masataka Nomura suddenly became quiet. After a while, he smiled again.
“That’s right. But if you’re interested, come see me.”
“All right.”
“It was an honor to meet you.”
After saying that, Nomura Masataka left.
“Hayeon, are those words true?”
“Honestly, it’s a hard story to believe. If I had created a procedure for metamorphosis, there is no way that it would not have spread.”
Joo Ha-yeon was right.
The metamorphosis of the bones is different from the common giyeon. It is so great that even world rankers covet it.
“But it’s hard to deny at all. Transformation of the bones has been a long-cherished wish of the Takamine family. If that wish came true recently… … .”
So Ha-yeon Joo said that there was a possibility that it would be successful.
“Then why did you immediately refuse? I didn’t think there would be anything bad in detail.”
“I’m not lucky enough to secretly scoop out my insides.”
Masataka Nomura didn’t bring up the story of metamorphosis out of pure good will.
The whole time I was talking, I was watching Kwon-ul’s reaction. There was a lot of intention to throw Hwangol Metamorphosis as bait and ask Kwon Wool for something.
“And yes.”
He was able to see clearly because he had a family member.
Masataka Nomura’s mental power was completely tainted with greed and arrogance.
“He was a person I couldn’t trust.”
* * *
Kwon Kwon-ul entered the banquet hall with Joo Ha-yeon.
“Ah, you’re here.”
Meihong clung to Kwon-wool in the banquet hall.
“Has anyone been suspicious?”
“No, I didn’t.”
I asked Meihong to watch the guests in advance.
Perhaps Ferdrance may have been playing tricks.
It was while talking to Mei Hong.
Ryoko Takamine and Nana Goriki approached Kwon Wool. Gwonwool bowed his head first and said.
“Miss Takamine Ryoko, congratulations on officially inheriting the family.”
“Thank you for congratulating me.”
Gwon-ul raised his head and looked at the two.
Unlike Takamine Ryoko, who was as restrained as possible, Nana Goriki was wearing very fancy clothes. The makeup on her face was too heavy to be burdensome.
“Because you are properly dressed… … I bet you don’t know.”
Goriki Nana scanned Kwon Wool from head to toe.
It was kind of a creepy look. I never thought I would get such attention from a woman in my life.
Kwon Wool asked Takamine Ryoko to turn the topic.
“There are not as many guests as I thought.”
“Originally, it is customary for the succession ceremony to be held in a modest manner with only family members and hospital officials.”
Gwon-wool sneakily looked around the banquet hall. I’m calling the entire orchestra to play. I wondered if the word “simple” would be appropriate.
“Ha, Hanul.”
Kwon Hu-don came running from afar. There was also a rock breaker next to him.
Kwon Wool-wool asked for understanding from Ryoko Takamine and approached Kwon Hu-don.
“What about the team members?”
“Yes, I arranged it as you said. Groups 1 and 2 are patrolling outside, and Group 3 is inside.”
“Good job.”
Kwon Hu-don’s expression softened slightly at Kwon-wool’s words.
“Rockbreaker.”
“Why?”
Rockbreaker said in a brusque tone.
“If something happens, I’ll take care of you then.”
“I don’t know if I will ever have a chance. Little Dragon and the other two are so good.”
Even in this situation, Rockbreaker said sarcastically. Kwon Hu-don, who was next to him, was restless.
“Then, Captain, let’s go do something.”
“Ha, I’ll go, Hanul.”
On the other hand, Kwon Kwon-wool did not pay much attention to Rockbreaker’s attitude.
There are no good feelings for each other. There were no complaints as long as it was done properly.
-Ahh.
At that time, Masataka Nomura’s voice resounded in the banquet hall.
Masataka Nomura stood on the stage set up on one side of the banquet hall and was holding onto the microphone.
-I would like to thank the guests who gathered today.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Masataka Nomura. Nomura Masataka looked around for a moment.
He seemed to be enjoying his gaze.
-Standing here, the succession ceremony of the previous head of the family comes to mind. That day, I was not on the podium, but I was looking up at the late head of the family from below.
Masataka Nomura paused for a moment. It seemed like he was reminiscing about what happened at the time.
-I am deeply moved now that I am standing here and announcing the beginning of the succession ceremony.
After that, Nomura Masataka’s words continued for a long time. The story of his youth, the death of his predecessor, and how hard he worked right after he took office as the hospital director.
Just listening to what she said, it seemed like the seat was for Masataka Nomura, not Ryoko Takamine.
-Then, Ryoko Takamine will come up to the podium.
Masataka Nomura stepped back slightly. Takamine Ryoko, who was downstairs, stepped up the stairs.
Standing on the podium, Ryoko Takamine grabbed the microphone. It was the moment I was about to say thank you to the distinguished guests gathered at the site.
[Hey, this is an emergency!]
An urgent voice came from the micro radio that was plugged into my ear.
[Oops, enemies appeared outside the barrier… … what is that? Ugh, aaagh!]
A roar of something crashing reverberated throughout the mansion. Soon, the sound of hundreds of glass breaking in succession was heard.
Joo Ha-yeon hurriedly told Kwon-ul.
“Kwon Han-ul, the barrier has been broken.”
That meant only one thing.
The raid has begun.
Screams and clashing weapons could be heard outside the mansion.
Gwon-ul was worried. The enemy who has been quiet since the first attack attacks in such an ignorant way?
“Looks like a trap.”
“Probably so.”
Ferdrance is a manipulative character. There’s no way someone like that would do something like this without thinking.
“What would you like to do?”
At Joo Ha-yeon’s question, Gwon-ul said without hesitation.
“There’s no need to go along with the enemy’s tricks.”
In this situation, it was far better to hold out than to act recklessly.
There was a high probability of being tricked if you moved to break the enemy’s tricks.
“Kwon Hudon!”
Gwon-ul cried out in a loud voice. Nearby, Kwon Hu-don raised his head.
“Why why?”
“Take your teammates and protect Miss Takamine Ryoko and the guests. Do not move recklessly in the banquet hall.”
The safest place right now is this mansion.
After Joo Ha-yeon closed the barrier, she searched the inside of the mansion several times.
“You, you?”
“me?”
Gwonwool raised the corners of his mouth. He said, laughing ferociously like a beast.
“I’m going to meet an uninvited guest.”
* * *
When I went outside, I saw Kwon Hu-don’s team members and the assailants fighting all over the large garden.
However, the appearance of the attackers was terribly grotesque.
One of the limbs was abnormally swollen, or the skin was colored.
Her eyes were blurry and green saliva dripped from her mouth. No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t normal.
“Ouch!”
“Cheak!”
However, Kwon Hudon’s teammates were being pushed back.
Every time the monsters swung their arms and legs, Kwon Hu-don’s teammates vomited blood and flew away.
“… … Am I seeing it right?”
Kwon Hudon’s team members were brought by Kwon Mi himself. He has such formidable skills.
How could such people be pushed away so easily, no, by an overwhelming gap?
“Quaaagh!”
One of the team members, a monster, was caught and pinned to the ground. The monster climbed on top of it and tried to punch his teammates.
It would have been dead if left alone.
Kwon Woo-ul immediately poured magic bullets at the monsters.
Dozens of magic bullets lodged all over the bodies of the monsters. The monsters screamed and stepped back.
But they just stepped back, and everything was fine.
Magic bullets powerful enough to pierce any amount of aura could not even pierce the skin of monsters.
Joo Ha-yeon said to Gwon-ul, who was dumbfounded.
“… … They are the dolls of the puppeteer.”
“A puppeteer?”
“He is a villain belonging to Pandaemonium. He is a terrible writer who enjoys the test of merging people and monsters.”
Joo Ha-yeon pointed at the monsters and said.
“They are all reinforced using monster bodies. It seems that you have used poison to bring out your body’s potential to its limit.”
“You mean you even poisoned it?”
“Yes, you won’t be able to do anything about them with your decent skills.”
Even during the conversation, Kwon Hu-don’s teammates were helplessly pushed aside.
From noble mtl dot com.
It was a situation that could no longer be seen. Gwonwool shouted at them.
“Take the wounded and go inside the mansion!”
At Kwon-ul’s words, the team members helped the injured and all went into the mansion.
“Let’s clear things up quickly and find Ferdrance.”
Gwonwool opened the subspace and put on leather gloves. Mei Hong also drew her sword.
However, Joo Ha-yeon did not prepare anything and just looked into the distance.
“Hayeon?”
“I’m sorry, Kwon Han-ul.”
Joo Ha-yeon said at first.
“Someone is calling me. I think we should go.”
Uncharacteristically for her, her expression hardened.
“Does Hayeon really have to go?”
“He is the one who broke the barrier with a single blow. I must go.”
It seemed that Ferdrance had other helpers. Kwon Wol nodded his head with a worried face.
“be careful.”
“All right.”
Joo Ha-yeon disappeared with magic on her body. When she disappeared, Gwon-ul glared at the monsters and said.
“Then what do we do… … .”
It was then
“—!”
“—!!”
“—!!!”
The live dolls screamed incomprehensibly. Black veins sprouted all over the body. The symptoms of the poison intensified.
The dolls rushed towards Kwon Wool.
It was frightening to see the dolls in different shapes running all at once.
“Ugh.”
Mei Hong stuck out her tongue in disapproval. Gwonwool stepped forward and said.
“Stay back.”
Kwon Kwon-ul’s forehead parted. Eyes opened wide to the left and right.
＜The authority ‘Tenri Dragon’s Eye’ is unlocked.＞
The moment the authority was released, the movement of the live dolls slowed down dramatically.
It wasn’t just a live doll. The whole world slows down. Even a speck of dust blown by the wind could be seen in detail.
Gwonwool raised the dragon horse. All of the mana in his body was replaced with the dragon horse.
The magic you possess and the magic you can handle are two different things.
Even if you have 100 mana, you can only handle 30 mana at a time.
But now, Kwon Kwon-ul was handling all 100 mana.
＜’Thousand Dragon’s Eye’ dominates the surrounding environment.＞
The power of the Chunri Yong’an made it possible.
Gwonwool gathered all the dragon demons in both hands. The second knuckle of the finger was bent to mount the magic bullet.
If you can’t pierce raw dolls with normal magic bullets, you can strengthen the power of magic bullets.
