Episode 295
Gurgling!
The center of Lightning Canyon.
The area around the place where the Temple of the Three Thunder Gods is hidden is also a place where powerful lightning strikes that cannot even be compared to other places in Lightning Valley.
Naturally, it is a place that ordinary climbers do not even dare to approach –
Quack!
“… … “It’s thrilling.”
“Mashichi?”
“Yeah, it’s pretty delicious.”
“Hi-Hi.”
The sight of the two father and son(?) sitting down in the middle of the place and eating up the lightning that fell around them was so absurd that people who knew about Lightning Canyon would have been shocked to see it.
It makes no sense to eat ordinary lightning, but the lightning in Lightning Valley was even more surprising as it was a natural disaster-level lightning that could not be compared to any other lightning –
Coo-
‘It’s a bit difficult to eat the whole lightning now. Is this because my lightning resistance is still lacking?’
Jinhyeok’s fingers and toes naturally curled in pain as the lightning he consumed through predation traveled through his body and shook his insides, but Jinhyeok just calmly continued to grasp his current situation.
No matter how much he was Jinhyuk, it was ridiculous to completely eat lightning, especially the trust of Lightning Valley, from the beginning.
but-
‘It’s soon. If you completely absorb this soon, you will be able to gain new powers.’
Jinhyuk did not give up.
This is because he was confident that this pain and understanding would open a new path for him.
The ‘Comprehensive Resistance’ skill is among Jinhyuk’s current skill list.
I believe that the current situation is happening because the lightning resistance is not yet properly included.
Quack!
“Predation.”
Quack!
Jinhyeok did not stop devouring lightning until the effect of lightning resistance was clearly engraved in his comprehensive resistance, just as he did one day.
“Shooting star~ Shooting star~ Pops in your mouth~ Shooting star~”
Quack!
Of course, Tam, who had a slightly different body condition than Jinhyuk, simply thought that the thrill of lightning was the unique taste of a shooting star. * * *
“It’s nice to see.”
“is that so?”
“Yes, the Jinhyeok I knew, what can I say… … He was a man who moved as if he were being chased. But the way he looks now… … “I feel like a lot of that has disappeared.”
The window of the temple.
It was a conversation between Ken and Hyerin, who were sitting there enjoying a leisurely tea time.
Hyerin expressed her curiosity as Ken savored the tea in front of him as if reminiscing about the past.
Because what Ken was saying now was a story about Jinhyuk, whom he didn’t know about.
“What was it like at first?”
Hyerin asked, slightly loosening the formal clothes she was wearing as if they had become quite friendly.
Ken, who was satisfied with being treated comfortably, did not relax his respect and reminisced about the past.
“It was on the 10th floor. “I was a part-time worker at a place called Magic Tower where I worked as a researcher and greeted customers at the entrance.”
“… … why? “He seems like a great wizard.”
Only 10th floor.
Hyerin looked at Ken in disbelief when she heard that he was not the manager of the Magic Tower but a part-time worker greeting guests at the entrance on a lower floor located far below the 130th floor where Lightning Canyon is currently located, but-
“It was safe to say that the person I was then and the person I am now are completely different people.”
“ah… … .”
Ken calmly acknowledged his shortcomings on the 10th floor.
He smiled brightly at Hye-rin, who gave a light exclamation, and began to tell a story about Jin-hyeok and Balkan, whom he first met on the 10th floor.
“I am with Tam now, but even before I fell into Yuldo Province, Jinhyuk had many colleagues by my side. Balkan, Haryu, Miho, etc… … “They were all great people.”
“… … “These are people I’ve never seen before.”
Unlike Ken, who spoke as if he was familiar with them, Hyerin blushed at the names of people she had never heard of or met.
But Ken comforted Hyerin as if it was okay.
“Isn’t Hye-rin with Jin-hyuk now?”
“… … “That’s right.”
“Anyway, Jinhyuk used to move as if he was being chased, but now he gives off a more relaxed vibe.”
“That?”
Quack! Quack!
Hyerin looked ridiculous as she pointed out that in order to become stronger, she sits down in the middle of a hail of lightning and catches the falling lightning, but-
“Yes, I’m a noble person at that level. “Right now, from Jinhyeok’s perspective, it’s not to the point where I would say it’s dangerous.”
“… … Nonsense.”
Ken recalled Jinhyuk’s past and expressed that comparing the present and the past, the past was much more dangerous.
Hyerin, who was looking back and forth between the window and Ken with an expression of disbelief, clicked her tongue.
“My heart is shaking because I think that might be dangerous too?”
“If you look at it from a third party’s perspective, it may be… … Jinhyuk is a person who can throw away his body and soul in order to become stronger and win.”
“… … “Was it not a prince on a white horse, but a fool on a white horse?”
How I felt when we first met in Yuldo-guk.
When Hye-rin makes a serious expression, thinking that Jin-hyeok, who thought he was a prince on a white horse who would pull her out of the quagmire, was actually a thug on a white horse.
“Hahaha! It’s fun. “There are only a few people who say that to Jinhyuk.”
“… … is it?”

“Yeah, well… … Since Jinhyuk is not a person with a good personality, would it be correct to say that only a few of those who said that survived? … ?”
“… … “I have a bit of a bad personality.”
There are a few things that everyone who has met Jinhyeok acknowledges. The first is Jinhyuk’s ability, and the second is Jinhyuk’s laziness.
Ken and Hyerin.
The two people, who had established a close relationship with Jinhyuk, started talking about Jinhyuk behind his back.
Quack!
“… … Have you heard too much thunder? “My ears are itchy.”
“With your ears? “Will Tom dig it up?”
“… … There is no hobby of digging your ears in the middle of a lightning storm. “Let’s go back soon.”
“yes!”
Jinhyeok scratched his ear and walked away, not knowing if someone was talking behind his back or if that person was two people who were having tea time at a nearby temple.
“It’s good to have something to do for a few days.”
At Ken’s request, he was staying at the temple of the Samnoejin for a few days, so he wondered if he would have to play with Tam endlessly while the puppet came, but it was natural that Jinhyuk would have a deep smile on his face as he had something to do. * * *
A few days have passed.
Quack! Quack!
Jinhyeok, who caught the clue about lightning predation from the first day, was instilling lightning resistance in his body by eating lightning without stopping.
“Shooting~ Star~”
Next to him was Tom, who seemed to never get tired of eating lightning and was having fun.
The tangy taste in your mouth and the way your body trembles every time you eat it seems quite fun.
Jinhyeok didn’t pay any attention to Tam because there wasn’t any particular problem with his body, and since Tam’s body was full of energy and seemed to have a high resistance to lightning, Jinhyuk didn’t pay attention to Tam.
just-
[Skill: Lightning resistance has been acquired.]
[Skill: Lightning resistance is combined with Skill: Comprehensive resistance.]
“… … “Good.”
I could only smile with satisfaction as I looked at the results over the past few days.
As soon as lightning resistance was acquired, it was combined with the higher level skill, comprehensive resistance.
It is probably a skill acquired a little while ago, but as it is combined with other skills, it will boast a stronger resistance than that achieved by most people through hard work.
“Predation.”
Quack!
Jinhyeok thought that far and ate the falling lightning without hesitation.
“Whoa… … “Is it a success?”
He smiled with satisfaction when he saw that his body was in good condition, except for a little trembling after feasting on lightning.
Since my body’s sensory system was slightly weakened, I couldn’t randomly eat lightning during battle, but it was a penalty that didn’t really matter when training.
This is a penalty that you don’t need to worry about since it will disappear as your resistance increases a little.
As I eat the lightning bolts with a satisfied smile on my face.
Jinhyuk was able to see the message window he had been waiting for so long.
[Stat: Brain energy acquired.]
[Brain energy cannot be grown using normal methods.]
[* Affected by title and equipment effects.]
“… … “Isn’t it bad?”
Jinhyuk smiled slightly when he saw the message window indicating that he had obtained a new stat brain power.
It cannot be grown using normal methods.
That means it has the disadvantage of not being able to grow in any way except by eating lightning like it is now, but since it was the same in terms of receiving the effects of the title and equipment, it wasn’t a big problem.
“If it’s not enough, just unify it and that’s it.”
In addition, even if he lacks Brain Energy, he can use Trait: Ion to transform Brain Energy into a stat exceeding 1,000, so whether the stats are high or low was not important to Jinhyeok.
“Status window.”

A status window that is nothing short of gorgeous.
Jinhyeok smiled deeply as he looked at the new ‘brain skills’ section in the status window filled with various stats, characteristics, and powers, and closed the status window with a satisfied face.
“Jinhyuk.”
Ken, who had been staying in the temple, approached Jinhyuk and called out to him.
Jinhyuk, who had been tilting his head as he saw Ken suddenly calling him, could not help but smile at Ken’s words.
“It’s not enough, but could you spar with me? “I want to be taught.”
“… … “I really wanted to ask you a favor, so I would be grateful if you said so.”
Couplet.
Sparring with Ken, who had become stronger while staying in the Lightning Canyon, was something Jinhyeok had never hoped for.
That’s why Jinhyuk immediately nodded.
“Do you want to go right away? “I know a place.”
“Go right away. avarice! “Stop eating and follow me!”
“yes!”
Jinhyeok took Tam with him and followed Ken to the sparring area where lightning struck.
Gurgling rumbling-
“Isn’t that too much of an advantage for you?”
“The gap is large, so please understand this.”
“I’ll give you the go-ahead, too.”
“thank you.”
A battlefield where lightning strikes.
And even the first strike.
In the dangerous sparring between the two, which begins in a situation where Ken is extremely advantageous –
“come!”
“I’m going!”
The two were smiling brighter than ever.
It was a sincere smile that he could make because he knew that the stronger, more difficult, and dangerous the situation, the more helpful it would be to him.
Hye-rin named him a fool riding a white horse.
Ken also seemed to be getting closer to the bully on the white horse.
Well, actually, it was harder to find normal people among those close to Jinhyeok.
