Episode 177
Choi Hyun-seok’s expression is very sad.
He had just heard that his skin was like minerals.
“Are you kidding?” “No, I’m serious.” “But calling a person a mineral…” “Seriously. Even after looking at it again, this is closer to the reaction of a mineral than a living thing.”
Sullivan’s expression was infinitely serious.
“Please explain in more detail.” “Do you know the concept of magic conductivity? It refers to how easily magic flows through an object.” “Yes. To some extent.”
This was something Choi Hyun-seok had also known for a long time.
This is because he had also experimented with pouring magic power into various objects.
I simply didn’t know the term ‘horsepower conductivity’.
I was aware of the concept itself.
Sullivan continued his explanation.
“Mr. Choi. Your body has an abnormally high magical conductivity. It’s dozens of times higher than that of a normal human.” “Hmm, maybe it’s because you use a lot of magical power?” “No. Even legendary humans don’t show this level of conductivity.”
“…”
“Actually, HyunA’s conductivity is quite high among the legends. However, it is not even half of Mr. Choi’s.”
Only then did Choi Hyun-seok realize that the situation was not normal.
Those who have become legends have been handling magic for a long time, so their magic conductivity is high.
Compared to such legends, Park Hyun-ah has a high level of conductivity.
However, he says that his conductivity is several times higher than that of Park Hyun-ah.
How should I take this?
“It’s impossible for a living creature to have such high magical conductivity.” “Is this a problem?” “In theory, it’s not a problem. In fact, it’s good. High conductivity makes it easier to use magic or combat, and various restrictions disappear.”
“aha.”
Choi Hyun-seok can put much more magic power into one speculation than others.
I always wondered why, but I think it might be because of the high magic conductivity.
“Wouldn’t that be good?” “No. Look at this.”
Suddenly Sullivan walked to the corner of the cabin.
She was rummaging through a drawer when she pulled out a fist-sized chunk of metal.
“This is a mineral called Ertel.”
“Ertel?”
“Yes. It is the object with the highest magical conductivity.”
Sullivan injected magic into Ertel.
Then Ertel began to change shape.
It becomes a small dagger, then suddenly turns into a bowl, etc.
It changed its appearance frequently depending on Sullivan’s magic.
“Ertel can change its form like this depending on magic power.”
“That’s amazing.”
“What you see from now on will be even more amazing.”
Sullivan approached and injected magic power into Choi Hyun-seok.
Then Choi Hyun-seok’s skin began to tremble as if it were alive.
“Huh!? Why is it like this!?” “Mr. Choi’s body also has similar properties to Ertel. That’s why its form changes depending on the magic.”
The body, which had been continuously changing, returned to its original state when Sullivan took his hand off.
‘I thought this could only be done with magic, but it can also be done with magical power…’
In fact, physical changes are something that Choi Hyun-seok is familiar with.
After an accident(?) in Lotak’s laboratory, he became capable of physical transformation.
Now, they are using it to create speculation.
However, this is the first time I learned that the body can be changed by magical power.
“But is this a problem?”
Sullivan nodded with a serious expression.
“Ertel is a very valuable mineral. It is useful for making magic tools and equipment. However, not all items are made from pure ertel.”
“Why?”
“Because I can change my form at any time with magic power.”
Sullivan picked up Ertel again.
“For example, let’s say there is a sword made of pure Ertel.”
As soon as she spoke, Ertel took the shape of a dagger.
“The moment the enemy finds out, it is no longer a sword. It can change its form with magic power.”
The dagger in her hand transformed into a flower.
Only then did Choi Hyun-seok realize what Sullivan was trying to say.
“Then surely…”
“Yes. The same goes for Mr. Choi’s body. Whether I did it or the other person, they can change Mr. Choi’s body. They just didn’t know about it until now, so they didn’t try.”
“…”
“The bigger problem is that the body can react and change through indirect magic alone. In this way.”
Sullivan unleashed his magic again.
This time, he didn’t send it directly to Ertel, but passed by nearby, and Ertel still trembled and changed into a strange form.
“It may not be this sensitive now, but we must keep in mind that Mr. Choi’s body may become like this in the future.”
“Ugh…”
This was a really serious problem.
For example, what if your body changes randomly every time you are hit by an enemy’s magic or attack?
Any thought of engaging in close combat should be abandoned forever.
“Is there a solution?” “This is the first time I’ve seen anything like this… and of course, there are no records.” “I actually deal with magic. The first physical change that occurred was also due to magic. Could this be related?”

Choi Hyun-seok asked with a hopeful mind.
Then Sullivan’s eyes sharpened.
“Magira… There has never been a case of a human controlling magic before. It would be worth investigating.”
“please.”
Choi Hyun-seok bowed his head deeply.
Sullivan patted his shoulder as if to tell him not to worry.
“Don’t take it too seriously. This might be your chance.”
“opportunity…?”
“Once stability is achieved, you will have a body that far surpasses human limitations.”
Sullivan said with a smile.
“There’s a saying that a crisis is an opportunity, right?”
Choi Hyun-seok chuckled at her words.
A crisis is an opportunity.
It was his favorite quote.
‘Yes. If you try to do something, you will definitely find a solution.’
Although there are currently fatal risks, there are equally significant advantages.
Maybe solving this problem would be an opportunity for further growth.
“I’ll come here periodically to get checked from now on. I’ll also find a way to do it myself.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded at Sullivan’s words.
‘I should do some research on my own too.’
It’s a problem we had to face at some point.
Grateful that he had noticed it now, Choi Hyun-seok planned his future.
***
A few days later, somewhere in Inemosit.
Choi Hyun-seok had an expression of emotion.
“Finally… finally…!”
Rachel also looked at Choi Hyun-seok with tears in her eyes.
“Hero!”
“Rachel!”
The two hug each other while sobbing.
Even so, Rachel was still hanging on like a cicada to a tall tree.
Anyway, our hearts were together.
‘Those annoying guys…’
Park Hyun-ah, who was standing next to me, took three steps back quietly.
Either way, Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel were in a festive mood.
“I finally reached level 1000!”
“Eughhhhhhh!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel roared and cheered.
“Oh my… Stop being so excited.”
Despite Park Hyun-ah’s nagging, Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel did not give in.
“Hero! The days of suffering in this world are passing by…” “I struggled to survive each day… Those were hellish days…!” “That’s right! It was so hard when I fell into the Demon King’s fortress!”
At the mention of the Demon King’s Army’s fortress, Choi Hyun-seok’s face hardened coldly.
“Ah… that is…”
Rachel rolled her eyes as she realized her mistake.
Choi Hyun-seok’s gaze becomes more and more persistent.
“The best warrior! Level 1000! That’s so cool! Capshon the best!”
Rachel cheered and praised Choi Hyun-seok with exaggerated cheers.
Choi Hyun-seok snickered at the sight of her trying to somehow avoid the crisis.
Today is a happy day, so it’s okay to let it slide for once.
‘It’s a story of results, but it was thanks to starting out in the Demon King’s Army that I was able to become this strong so quickly.’
If Choi Hyun-seok had started on the human side rather than the Demon King’s fortress, would he have been able to grow like this?
Rather than growing, there is a high probability that he would have died.
I met Raidrun thanks to the Demon King’s Army, or to be exact, the Hemorn Fortress.
After that, I was able to overcome numerous trials given by Hemis and come this far.
If you look at the results, Rachel’s mistake made Choi Hyun-seok who he is today.
“Hero! Let’s measure your combat power to celebrate reaching level 100!”
“Good!”
Now that you’ve reached a monumental level, it’s imperative to measure your combat prowess.
Choi Hyun-seok approached Park Hyun-ah.
“Sister, can I borrow your measuring device just this once?” “Why? You have one too.”
“Isn’t mine only measuring 200,000?”
Park Hyun-ah swallowed a laugh at Choi Hyun-seok’s words.
“Do you think you’ve already surpassed 200,000 combat power?” “Just in case…”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head.
“I’ll just buy you a new one. I have points left anyway.” “Oh! Thank you!”
Park Hyun-ah bought an advanced combat power meter from the warrior shop and gave it to him.
Choi Hyun-seok took the measuring device and looked at it from all sides.
“Huh… These look a bit like sports sunglasses. Can I just wear them and go out?”
□ Advanced Combat Power Meter Description: Combat power is measured by synthesizing the target’s abilities viewed through the combat power meter.
Ability: You can find out the ‘rough’ combat power of the target of measurement.
※ Caution: Do not rely too much on combat power.
Required Warrior Points: 500
“That can measure up to 600,000, so keep that in mind.” “600,000? Didn’t you say last time that yours measured over 1 million?” “Would I use store equipment? Of course it was specially made! Custom.”
“ah…”
I thought buying the item would be the end of it, but it seemed like there were more improvements to be made there.
‘I should ask him to do it later too.’
If you ask for it right after receiving the gift, you’ll be in danger of getting cursed at.
Choi Hyun-seok promised to ask for help next time when the time is right.
“Okay, let’s check!”
“good.”
Soon, the combat power measurement ceremony began.
Choi Hyun-seok confidently placed his hands on his waist.
Rachel placed the combat power meter on the rock and brought her face close to it.
“see…”
The numbers on the meter begin to rise rapidly.
“Over a hundred thousand!”
“Oh!”
“One hundred and fifty thousand!”
“let’s go!”
“Nineteen thousand…!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel waited for the results with nervous expressions.
Beep!
Finally the measurement is completed.
“How much is it? How much did it cost!?”
Choi Hyun-seok asked in an urgent voice.
“Ugh~! What a shame.”
“How much is it?”
“One hundred and ninety-eight thousand.”
The combat power barely reached 200,000.
[ Combat Power: 198,328 ]
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a satisfied expression.
Even though it was a little short of the target, it was enough.
“I guess I just need to level up a little more.”
It was when he picked up the combat power meter and put it in his inventory as usual.
“Hey. I’m going to go now.”
“Where are you going?”
“I decided to train Abelson later.”
“ah…”
For a moment, Choi Hyun-seok’s expression became gloomy.
“Sister. How long are you going to leave me alone? I’ve already reached the thousand level I promised…” “Let’s start in earnest tomorrow. Since you’ve escaped from your paper body, it’s time to start upgrading your software.”
At her words, Choi Hyun-seok’s expression brightened as if he had never been depressed before.
“thank you!”
“Okay, then go. You’ve worked hard so far, so get some rest today.”
“Yes! Thank you for your hard work!”
Park Hyun-ah is leaving.
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel, who were left behind, looked at each other.
“Doesn’t it seem like you’ve gone?”
“Yes, I think so.”
A sinister smile appeared on both of their faces.
“Then shall we start the real party?”
“Kihihi! Good!”
Choi Hyun-seok took out a yellow fruit from his inventory.
“Haa… Hero! Rachel has waited for this day.” “I’ve endured as much as I can… I can’t take this anymore!”
Dusevariche, meaning sweet greed.
I haven’t eaten in a while because I was worried about Park Hyun-ah’s reaction, but today is a happy day.
One would be okay.
Choi Hyun-seok carefully cut the fruit with his magic.
“Ugh! Look at this color!”
Drool flowed from Rachel’s mouth.
“You were right, Sister. Inventory is so useful.”
The fruit was very fresh because it was stored in inventory immediately after being picked.
“Then I will eat well!”
“Ah~”
The moment when Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel were about to put the fruit in their mouths.
“You little shits! I knew it!” “Hey, warrior! That’s f*cked up!” “I don’t know! Just shove it in my mouth!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel picked up whatever fruit they could get their hands on.
“Spit it out! Spit it out!”
That day, Abelson went out to look for Park Hyun-ah, who did not show up even though it was the appointed time.
After a while of setting out on the road.
When he discovered Park Hyun-ah trying to cut open Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel’s stomach, he was startled and ran over.
“Tea, hold on!”
“Let go! We have to fix these kids’ habits!” “If we do that, I’ll really die!”
Abelson is tearing down Park Hyun-ah.
She hid a piece of fruit in her bosom without anyone knowing.
