Episode 140 Kim’s Party -2-
“What is that?”
Carly’s eyes light up with curiosity.
“This is a statue of the god Mars.”
“What’s your status?”
“Yes. From what I’ve researched, it seems like the power of the god Mars is hidden there. When you inject magic power into it, it glows like this.”
Woof, woof.
The pieces sparkle.
Letting out a long, low cry.
Emitting heavy and solemn waves of magical power.
I saw that and was completely convinced.
Mars’ gladiator technique is hidden.
“The power of the god Mars? How can I get it?”
“I don’t know about that.”
“Huh? You’re offering me compensation for something I don’t even know how to use?”
“There’s definitely something there, and since we can’t find out what it is even with emotional magic, isn’t it really valuable? That means it’s definitely a high-grade artifact.”
There is only one way to draw out the power of the god Mars.
A superhuman born with the ability to kill thousands of people injects his magical power wavelength into them.
Then, as the pieces break apart like a memory chip, the Mars sword fighting method is imprinted on the brain of the Thousand-Year-Old Superman.
Also, from this point on, it becomes possible to pass it on to other people.
“Okay, let’s do that.”
“Eh? Teacher! You don’t even know what that is!”
“I’ve heard of the legend of the Mars statue. Anyway, we had already promised to have a revenge match. Just think of it as receiving a gift as a bonus.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty the Mukho Sword Master.”
“What are the exact rules?”
“Let’s do it Colosseum style. Unlimited battle. And I just want the Iron Fist back. I don’t want anything else.”
You’re talking about compensation.
If you win the original Colosseum Unlimited Battle, you can take everything from your opponent.
A diamond made by melting magic circuits.
All the equipment you wear on your body.
If both parties agree, other assets such as real estate may also be included.
Instead, if you forfeit before the start of the game, you only need to pay the entry fee.
“Let’s do that. If I win, I’ll get the Mars statue, and if the King of Destruction wins, I’ll just get the Iron Fist back. We’ll each take care of the consumables ourselves.”
“great.”
There is no particular reason why I have offered such generous terms.
The superhumans that the King of Destroyer will bring are too old.
Even if we live peacefully, we are people who do things today and tomorrow.
If you break the magic circuit to create a diamond, you might die suddenly.
Then you will become enemies with the King of Destruction and his colleagues.
If I desperately needed diamonds, I would have asked for them regardless of the grudge, but now I don’t have any magic weapons to feed them diamonds.
There is no reason to make enemies.
“The match will be held within a month… no, within two weeks. I will contact you three days before the start.”
“Yes. It will take that much time. You have to organize the party and find your rhythm.”
“See you then.”
“Yes, Your Majesty the Muteki Sword Master. Thank you for your consideration.”
I looked at the spot where the King of Destruction had left.
Is this how Baek So-rin’s personal quest comes back?
In this case, there is no need to include Baek So-rin in the party.
‘What should I do?’
There are three options.
Number 1 Baek So-rin.
Number 2 Kim Cheol-kwon.
3. Recruitment of external personnel.
You have to be careful.
Iron Fist is said to be the least tier of my equipment, but it would be a shame to not have it.
I’m using the 1 second invincibility well.
Since we’re going to fight, we have to win.
I have no intention of giving the title of [Beat the Warrior Kim in his day] to the King of Destruction.
‘Cheonsalseong Baek So-rin and gang boss Kim Cheol-kwon… … ‘
Objectively speaking, Baek So-rin has the upper hand.
There are SSR and N grades.
Even if you give Kim Cheol-kwon several superior traits through the Leviathan build, you cannot reduce the gap.
But, but… … .
‘It bothers me that I’ve never used Baek So-rin before.’
I’ve never pulled an SSR in a game.
I just pulled out the Cheonma once and was dragged into this world.
What about the third commander of the warrior line, Baek So-rin?
I just drooled while watching the streamers roll it out.

On the other hand, the Kim party spent a lot.
The vanguard, Kim Jeon-sa.
Kim Cheol-kwon, a veteran.
The magic of the rear guard.
Assistant Priest Kim.
I know very well how to combine them and what tactics to use.
There have been many instances where I’ve defeated opponents in the Colosseum using characters from each series.
The rematch this time?
It’s the same.
They are said to be level 6, but they are old people who are far past their prime and on the verge of death.
It would be similar to the game’s Destroyer Party.
Even if the instantaneous firepower is stronger, the stamina will be much lower.
‘Kim Cheol-kwon would be better.’
It was an unexpected conclusion even for me.
Until just a moment ago, I had thought that I should naturally wear Baek So-rin, but the results of the simulation in my head were different.
Rather than just using Kim Magic and Kim Saje as assistants while I match Baek So-rin, it’s better to let Kim’s party perform to its full potential.
The current Kim Cheol-kwon, Kim Ma-beop, and Kim Sa-je are not staying at N-class.
‘It’s been two weeks, right?’
In the meantime, I need to prepare as much as possible.
‘Priest Kim is the problem.’
If you can get the magic right, you can include it in your party.
I don’t know what to do with Father Kim.
As soon as you come out of the Great Labyrinth, the old Father’s Sect will rush in and say it’s good.
While I was thinking, Baek So-rin clenched her fist.
“Teacher! I will work hard!”
“huh?”
“You said it was a party battle. A party battle requires four people, right? I’ll work hard!”
“Thank you for your kind words, but I’ll bring someone else.”
“Yes? Why? Who else but me? I just got to level 5, but I’m confident! I can easily beat any level 5!”
“Because we’re going to be a regular party, not a transformation party. Warrior, reinforcement, magician, priest, like that.”
“ah…….”
Baek So-rin made a helpless expression.
Then, he quickly makes a face like he doesn’t know.
“But is there anyone you can bring with you? You always go out alone, teacher.”
“there is.”
First, I sent a message.
The Great Labyrinth is a currency zone out of bounds.
Messages can only be exchanged when data deliverymen come and go periodically, like postal mail.
So I thought it would be fortunate if I got a reply within three days… … .
[Kim Sa-je]
The phone call came unexpectedly.
“Oh, are you a priest?”
[Brother! Long time no see!]
“Yeah. It’s been a while. Where are you now? Aren’t you at the Great Labyrinth? I was surprised when you called.”
[I’m in Korea now.]
“What? How?”
[I was hired as a bodyguard for a rich family!]
“No, so how?”
[The boss here is no joke. Do you know the Sun Tower?]
Sun Tower?
Why is that here?
“Of course I know. Is there any Korean who doesn’t know the Sun Tower?”
[I was hired as a bodyguard for the grandson of the tower lord!]
Oh, really… … .
“Are you talking about Mr. Kim Magic?”
[Do you know?]
“I know. We’ve worked together a few times. I even have your number.”
[Wow, really? This is the first time I’ve heard of it. Anyway, the president, no, the head priest, has made a deal with the old father’s sect. For the time being, our sect has been excluded from the old father’s sect’s heresy investigation.]
“That’s great. Congratulations.”
[thank you.]
“But why did the Lord of the Tower show such kindness?”
[It’s because of the blessing of our church.]
“Your church’s blessing? Oh, that’s worth it.”
Golden Blessing is tier 1 among blessings.
How common is it to increase critical hit chance, evasion chance, resistance chance, and item acquisition chance?
“Then I’ll be moving with Mr. Magic for the time being?”
[Yes! I just finished a meeting and came into the room next to Mr. Magic.]
“That’s good. I had something to ask of you and Mr. Magic.”
[What is it?]
“Actually, I ended up having an unlimited party battle at the Bucheon Underground Arena. I was thinking of forming a party with a combination of warriors, reinforcements, magicians, and priests, and I thought of you.”
[Huh? Really? That’s great!]
“what?”
[That’s my request! Mr. Magic will be gaining practical experience at the Bucheon Underground Fighting Arena starting tomorrow, so I want you to assist and escort him!]
“Is that true? It starts tomorrow?”
[That’s right!]
what?
Are there times when things are this coincidental?
Just a coincidence?
No matter how great the golden blessing is, the Sun Tower Lord specifically asked Saje Kim to escort him?
While negotiating with the old father’s sect?
For now, I’ve hidden my doubts.
On the outside, the call continued as if nothing had happened.
“Perfect. I was going to invite Mr. Magic to my party too. If Mr. Magic helps me with my unlimited battles and I help him gain practical experience, it’s a win-win.”
[The Lord of the Tower also wanted to ask Hyung to be his escort, and Adari is the perfect fit! Should I say something?]
“No. I have to handle this myself. I’ll talk to Mr. Magic. You stay still.”
[all right.]
“How have you been? Have you received any new powers?”
[Similar. I think they’ll give you more once the temple is completed… ]
“Okay. Just that much is enough.”
After talking, I called Kim Magic.
Kim Magic answered the phone with a slightly embarrassed and slightly happy voice.
[Your Majesty the Mute Sword Master! How have you been?]
“Yes. It’s been a while since the incident at the Japanese Eclipse School.”
[What about Red? Is Red okay?]
“Of course. I’m fine.”
[You should lend me sometime!]
“That’s a bit… … .”
[Hehehe. What’s going on?]
He repeated the explanation he had given to Priest Kim.
Then, Kim Magic is very pleased.
[That’s great! I also wanted to ask Master Mukho for help! My grandfather told me to learn properly from Master Mukho if possible.]
“Then you accept? In return, I will teach you sincerely whenever I have time. Even if it takes a long time and it is difficult.”
[I absolutely love it!]
“Instead, the difficulty of unlimited battles will be a bit difficult.”
[Hey, the Mukho Sword Master is here? If I just run away, won’t the Mukho Sword Master take care of everything?]
“There is a very high chance that the opponent has three level 6s.”
[uh…….]
Kim’s magic that makes you speechless.
I swallowed a laugh and said,
“Take lots of elixirs and come fully equipped. You don’t need any mythical weapons. Just wear the weapons that Mr. Magic usually wears, but if you have any gifts from before, you can bring them with you.”
[Shouldn’t I tell Grandpa?]
“If you want to do that, then do it. But I have a request to make in advance. If you use equipment that doesn’t match your level, your skills won’t improve. Think of it as learning a trick this time and do your best. That’ll be fine. This unlimited battle is more of a friendly match, so there’s almost no chance of Magic-ssi or I dying or having our magic circuits damaged.”
[Um… … But I’ll discuss it with Grandpa. He knows a lot about these things.]
“That sounds good.”
I hung up the phone.
It became clear while we were talking.
That Kim Magic is hiding something from me.
What is it?
What is the Sun Tower decorating?
Suspicions were put aside for the time being.
The most certain way is to see it in person and examine it.
Because I have ears.
Although it is not possible to see into the mind as clearly as the method of interest, it is easy to infer the inner thoughts through subtle gaze processing, heartbeat, pupil dilation and constriction, and the fluctuation of magical power waves.
Especially for the still innocent Kim Ma-beop.
It seems like he’s also entangled with Father Kim, so it might be a good idea to gently tease him and find out the details.
Finally, I called Kim Cheol-kwon.
[Yes, Lord Mukho Sword!]
These days, both Kim Cheol-kwon and Choi So-jang call me the Mukho Sword Master.
It wasn’t like that when I first got the Mukho Sword, but the media kept talking about the Mukho Sword and the Mukho Sword, so these two got influenced.
“Oh, okay. Are you ready?”
[Yes, it’s finished. But didn’t you say you were busy?]
“I have a favor to ask of you, President Kim.”
[Please. Just give me the order. Everything I have already belongs to you, Mukho Sword Lord.]
“But I can’t treat you like a servant.”
Life is give and take.
No matter how much Kim Cheol-kwon swore loyalty to me, I must keep what I must keep.
“Mr. Kim. I’ll get you to level 5 right now. But I’d like you to give me two weeks of your time.”
[Of course. What’s going on?]
So, Kim Cheol-kwon’s recruitment has been completed.
Moved to Geonwoobong.
A facility that was formerly controlled by the janitors’ association.
A place with both bio-mutation and prosthetic body modification facilities.
Now the Iron Fist faction has taken over and is reforming its gang members to mass-produce them as superhumans.
“It’s amazing.”
Carly’s eyes lit up when she first saw this facility.
Baek So-rin and Janet also have similar faces.
Is this your first time seeing your reinforcement soldiers level up?
“Hoo, hoo.”
Kim Cheol-kwon entered the glass case, gasping for breath.
He holds a precious crystal bottle in both hands.
What swirls inside the crystal bottle is a five-colored, sparkling jewel liquid.
Reconstruction potion.
Since Kim Cheol-kwon is also N-class, he definitely needed a reconstruction elixir to break through his limits.
Kim Magic and Kim Saje each became pyromancers and apostles respectively, and escaped from N-class long ago.
“Let’s get started.”
When I was strengthening Kim Cheol-kwon in the past, I used an occult build.
A combination of werewolf, vampire, and ghost.
It’s a good combination up to level 4, but it becomes less efficient from level 5 onwards.
So, Kim Cheol-kwon spent months preparing and gathering ingredients for the other combination I recommended.
Asura mutation factor.
Hell money.
The magical core of a fallen angel often found in the Great Labyrinth.
A combination of devil, hell, and demon.
It was called a demon build among users.
Mutation is in progress.
The limits of growth are broken and the magic circuits are reestablished.
In the process, Kim Cheol-kwon was broken, crushed, and regenerated several times.
Even the distorted face shatters like glass from a bullet.
The fragments break into dozens and hundreds of pieces, collapsing and forcibly joining together.
“oh my god!”
“Why, why are you like that?”
“Is that right?”
Baek So-rin, Janet, and Carly stamped their feet at the horrific sight.
There’s nothing I can do.
Other superhumans also go through a difficult process when leveling up, but the level of the reinforced soldiers is even more severe.
The higher the level, the higher it gets.
The more you break your own limits, the more you break them.
The reinforced soldiers always face death.
That was the fate of the reinforced soldiers who leveled up quickly and tried to level up as long as they had the materials.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”
Barely managed to level up.
Kim Cheol-kwon crawled out of the glass case and gasped for breath.
I patted Kim Cheol-kwon on the shoulder.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Coolook! Thank you!”
It was worth the effort.
[Martial Arts][Strength][Stamina]
[Talent][Vampirism][Cold Hands]
Kim Cheol-kwon, who created a new prosthetic hand and acquired the bloodsucking trait, became level 4.
Now it has changed like this.
[Martial Arts][Three Heads, Six Feet][Real Fighting]
[Hell Power][Low-Altitude Flight][Corruption]
Who would call this N-class?
In fact, it should be considered SR-grade rather than R-grade.
Growth limits will still apply.
“Are you here?”
“They said my brother was here… … .”
Just then, Kim Magic and Kim Saje arrived.
It was the moment when Kim’s party was completed.
