Episode 193
“I’ve been big since I was little.”
Poachim opened his mouth as if he was beginning to reminisce.
‘I think you would have said it without me saying it… .’
Sihyeon thought as he looked at Poahim’s huge body.
In short, everything about Poahim was big and thick. Height is basic, as are forearms, thighs, neck, hands, and feet.
Sihyeon had seen giants like William and Max, but even those people felt relatively ordinary compared to Poahim.
The enormity of Poahim’s body was overwhelming.
“So, growing up, I was always the leader of my peers. Everyone around me said that. I was the general of generals. It wouldn’t be a stretch to become a knight in the future.”
Sihyeon silently listened to Poahim’s story. However, he still couldn’t guess what the intention was for saying this.
“But reality was harsh.”
yes? what?
Ruthless?
Sihyeon cast a puzzled look at the unexpected words that came out of Poahim’s mouth.
Considering his sinister face and intimidating huge body, the world seemed warm to him but never cruel.
“You may have already guessed, but I don’t have the constitution to accumulate magical power properly.”
“…Magic power?”
While asking that question, Sihyeon recalled that his magic power had been stuck at 101 for a long time.
Other abilities steadily increased, but only the magical power did not change.
I thought that was strange, but it seemed like there was a reason.
“Yes. And that is tantamount to a death sentence for a martial artist. To reach the level of expert or higher, you need to build up magical power in your body according to magic exercises. Only with magical power can you overcome the limitations of your body and demonstrate superhuman strength. “It exists.”
“okay….”
“There is a limit to the power of the body made up of bones and muscles. There is a clear limit. On the other hand, the power of magic can lead humans to the far limit. Compared to the power of magic that is like an infinite universe, the power of the body is insignificant like a handful of sand grains. It doesn’t pass. Everyone said that. And I also felt it keenly. People who were much physically weaker than me used their magical power to turn me into a dead stone. Over and over again. I was left a miserable wreck on the floor. I’m stuck in.”
“….”
The bitter frustration of that time could be felt in Poachim’s voice.
So Sihyeon had no choice but to listen to his story with a heavy face.
“I felt incredibly humiliated. I wanted to repay this humiliation somehow. So I wandered around the world and worked like crazy to build up magical power. As a result, I was able to build up a little magical power in my body. But that wasn’t enough. It wasn’t enough. A third-rate warrior, that’s all. I was just a needlessly oversized idiot. I had to worry about my life even if I was a second-class warrior.”
Honestly, I was surprised.
That’s right, the Poahim in front of me right now felt like he was strong from the time he was in his mother’s womb.
It has a very scary face, a huge body, and an intimidating feeling that can capture and suppress a person’s energy without mercy.
… But I can’t believe Poahim had such difficult times.
Sihyeon glanced at Poachim’s grim face once again and waited for him to continue speaking.
“I had to admit it. I was wrong. It was a mistake to try to do it like everyone else with a constitution that didn’t match the magic power in the first place. But the funny thing was that even when I realized it, there was no special way. In short, it was a situation where there was no answer. But even in that situation, “Ogi was on fire.”
Sihyeon nodded slightly as if she understood how Poahim felt.
At first glance, he seemed to be the type of person who hated losing more than dying.
“Yeah, f*ck.”
“omg….”
When Poahim suddenly cursed, Sihyeon let out a surprised breath.
Honestly, there would be no one who wouldn’t be scared if a face like that came out with a harsh curse.
“Why but?”
“Oh, you didn’t do anything?”
Sihyeon hurriedly waved his hand.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ll just keep talking.”
“Yes, of course.”
Sihyeon straightened his posture without realizing it.
Poahim continued his story again.
“Yes, I will try to become strong with the bones and muscles that you bastards despise. That spirit has soared.”
“….”
“why?”
“…No, please continue.”
The way he gritted his teeth when he said, ‘You bastards,’ was absolutely brutal.
It was as if he was chewing and kicking.
Thinking back on old thoughts for the first time in a while, the bad feelings from back then seemed to come back vividly.
“I decided to try to overcome human limitations with just my body. It was a crazy decision that everyone would laugh at, but I thought this massive body was a gift to me from God.”
As he said that, he clenched his fists, and the surrounding muscles swelled as if they were about to burst.
‘godsend… ‘I admit it.’
Sihyeon repeatedly agreed with those words in her mind.
“I needed training to overcome my limits. However, I felt that training alone was of no use. Training alone in a quiet place would not sharpen my mind. No matter how hard I tried, the stimulation was poor. “It’s not enough. And if your mind is not sharp, your body will become loose. Training in that state is not training, it’s just a meaningless waste of time.”
Does this mean that low risk is nothing more than low return?
High returns also require high risks.
Poachim seemed to have felt it instinctively.
“So I decided to go into the Eternal Forest bare-handed. It’s a forest full of monsters. Most monsters can’t use magic power. They hunt only with their innate physical abilities. Of course, that physical ability is no different than that of a human. “It’s a much higher level. So isn’t this a very suitable place to train to overcome the limitations of the human body? I decided to go there and face the monsters body-to-body. I risked my life.”
“yes….”
Poahim is definitely a special species among special species.
Sihyeon thought of the monsters she had faced so far at the gate.
With those monsters and no magic power, that too with your bare body?
Even if they went crazy a hundred times, there would be very few people who would be able to do it.
No, maybe not at all.

“I went into the forest infested with monsters without hesitation. At that time, I was only thinking about one thing. The thought of coming back alive? Such thoughts only make humans weaker. All I could think about was how to keep getting stronger day by day. The first day. From there, I stormed into a place where a group of goblins lived and broke the necks of all the goblins. It was completely new to fight even weak monsters with my bare body. I got quite a few injuries. On the second day, I faced monsters that were slightly stronger than that. The injuries were even worse. It increased. On the third day, there were monsters that were slightly stronger than that. On the fourth day….”
Poahim’s story continued without end.
“…I deliberately ate monster meat at every meal. I didn’t even use fire. I munched on it raw. I felt that it was extremely weak to insist on human eating habits in a place like this. Later, I even chewed on the bones…”
“….”
“…The wounds were increasing, and I felt like I was going to collapse in pain. Human luxuries like healing potions have nothing to do with a place like this. So I decided to use herbs. Of course, I was unfamiliar with herbs. One by one. “I had no choice but to test it with my body. Whenever I accidentally applied poisonous herbs to my body, I would get a double craving. But it turned out that even that was training my body like crazy…”
“….”
“…I was lucky that the monsters got stronger as they went inward. If I had encountered a strong monster from the beginning, it would have been over before I could get stronger. As I fought to the death with all kinds of monsters on the outskirts, I became stronger. I could definitely feel that I was getting stronger. My senses became insanely sharp, and all the muscles in my body became very strong, as if they were armored in iron. I gained more strength. I became more agile. But I could never be satisfied with this. So….”
“….”
The more Sihyeon listened to his story, the more shocked she became.
You’re a real human… ?
It was a story where a human would have died a hundred times more.
The fact that Poachim survived like this was truly like beating the odds of a miracle.
No, even if there was a miracle, an ordinary human would just have died.
It was clear that Poahim was a chosen one who was different from other humans from the beginning.
As his life-threatening efforts were added, he became a monster.
Even while Sihyeon was thinking such things, Poahim’s story continued.
Sihyeon clicked his tongue at Poahim and continued to listen to his story.
“…That guy was definitely the owner of the forest. Just the energy alone was enough to make my skin tingle. But I believed in the strength of my body that I had built up like crazy. He was a monster, but I was also a monster. My body. He was the perfect opponent to overcome the final limit of. I shouted so loudly that the forest trembled. Then I charged in. So he….”
The story eventually came to an end.
Poachim’s eventful life came to an end with the brilliant defeat of the monster that was the owner of the forest.
“What do you think? Now you know where the source of my power comes from, right?”
“I see.”
Sihyeon nodded vigorously.
Truly the physical limit.
Poachim’s entire body was a wondrous weapon itself. And I also felt like I could understand why Poachim’s mental power was so strong.
If he were to come back alive from such an insane limb, his mental strength would have to be that of a superhuman.
“Good. But let me tell you one more thing. The ultimate in physical strength is not just limited to maximizing strength and agility. Such things are also possible with magical power. Those who have trained their bodies to the limit have a unique That’s not what strength is.”
As he said that, Poachim held out his forearm as thick as a log.
Poahim opened his mouth again to Sihyeon, who was looking at him with questioning eyes.
“Take out the Accuraerts.”
“Acuraters?”
“okay.”
Tilting his head, Sihyeon took out Accuraerts.
Poahim said to him:
“Now, try hitting my arm with it.”
“Huh? What is that….”
Sihyeon’s expression became as if he had misheard something.
Acurelust is a famous sword among famous swords that can clash with even powerful swords.
I knew that crazy sharpness well, having experienced it many times.
But with that, my bare arms… ?
“It’s okay, just hit it.”
Poahim said calmly.
“but….”
“It’s really okay.”
At those words, Sihyeon carefully lifted Accuraerts.
“With all my might.”
As he said that with a casual expression, Si-hyeon also made up his mind.
‘Er, I don’t know.’
Sihyeon tightened his hands.
Then he slammed Acurelust down.
Kang!
‘Kang?’
Sihyeon’s eyes widened.
It is clearly nothing more than human flesh and bones.
However, the Acurelust’s blade bounced upward as if it had hit something very hard.
“Now, feel it for yourself.”
As Poahim said so, he grabbed the blade of Acurerus and snatched it out of Sihyeon’s hand. Then he whirled it once in the air and grabbed the hilt of his sword.
“W-what is it?”
Si-hyeon, perhaps sensing an unusual atmosphere, cast a nervous glance.
“You have to see it yourself to really feel it.”
Accurates felt like a toy in the hands of a big man like Poahim.
Poachim held it high.
“Now, wait a minute!”
Sihyeon urgently put his hand forward.
However, Poahim didn’t even pretend to listen and hit Sihyeon hard on the shoulder with the Acurelust.
Wedge!
The sound of a blade cutting through the air rang out.
and.
Kaang!
‘Kaang? phew… Relief… .’
The moment I thought about that.
A tremendous pain came from my shoulder.
It felt like my shoulder was being torn apart.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! It hurts! It hurts! W-what is it?! Why does it hurt so much?!”
Sihyeon sat down and held her shoulders. Her tears came to my eyes. Her body trembled.
“As long as we are human, it is natural to have a sense of pain.”
Poahim said as if it was no big deal.
“No, you have to tell me that in advance!”
“Now my true power has gone to you.”
“….”
“A normal attack wouldn’t even tickle you right now.”
“But why…?”
“But the stronger the attack from the real monsters, the more it will hurt like crazy if you take it with your bare body.”
“Then what is the method…?”
“Just be patient. That’s what I want to tell you.”
“…So it only hurts, but all attacks can be blocked?”
“You have to avoid things that look like they will kill you just by looking at them. If Hyris uses class 9 magic to tell you to try it, will you just accept it?”
“…yes?”
“Don’t make such a ridiculous face. Your body is invincible right now. Almost invincible, to be exact. Among the awakened, you only need to be careful of ten people. No, there are no friends, so it’s nine.”
“…This time, I see that the person who seems to be the leader is also very strong….”
“I was just giving an example. Be careful of that level. There might be someone strong at that level in the Demon World or something. But that’s true.”
“…yes.”
“You can take them down too. So face anyone with confidence.”
Poahim said, handing over the Acureluts again.
That voice contained firm strength.
“All right.”
Sihyeon also answered with strength.
