Episode 159
Power Up (3)
Contrary to the comfortable sightseeing, the dwarves were truly to die for.
As the terrifying energy wave came closer to them, the stronger thought came to them, ‘Oh, this doesn’t seem right.’
And when Dangongcham’s strength was almost within reach, the dwarves were confident.
This moment is the difference between life and death!
If there is even the slightest mistake, it will be torn in pieces by that brutal blow!
The dwarves screamed.
“Hey, crazy guy! “I really shot it!”
“Damn, this is a type of technology I’ve never seen before… “But I know it’s insanely dangerous!”
“If you have time to talk, jump forward and block! In the meantime, analysis begins!”
At Jis’s shout, Mikhail and Denku stood at the head of the dwarves. In their hands was an unusually large shield. The shields were so huge that just two of them could cover all seven dwarves.
As Mikhail and Tenku infused mana into the shield, the magic circle engraved on the shield began to operate.
It was like the <Shield of the Cross> that Jeong Do once embodied as the king of all diseases. Things similar to the 13 magic circles that unfolded from the shield of the cross rose from the dwarves’ shields.
It was unknown as his knowledge of magic was minimal, but if someone who was skilled in magic had seen the dwarves’ shield now, he would have continued to rub his eyes.
<Demi God Holy Field>
<Instantaneous physical disconnection>
<Ultimate Block Shell> etc.
The magic that had only been talked about in legends was unleashed. The dwarves’ shield was a supreme treasure that could easily block even the breath that the ancient dragon fired.
And on top of that protective magic, the Dangong Cham exploded.
There was no sound.
This was because even the impact sound generated when the two techniques clashed was cut off by the Dangong Cham. However, just because there was no sound did not mean there were no results. Mikhail and Tenku’s complexions turned pitch black.
The Dangongcham was digging into the shield, splitting even the array of mana that builds magic.
The dwarves screamed again.
“Mana, pour more Mana!”
“Crazy, it’s only possible for a knight to cut magic at the fireball level. Why is mythical magic being cut off?!”
“Infuse more mana during the chatter! “Hold your shield tight!”
Meanwhile, Dangongcham was slowly advancing, cutting through magic. The speed was very slow compared to before colliding with the shield, but it still steadily moved towards the dwarves.
Parching! Parching!
The mythical magic began to be destroyed one by one, and the Dangong Cham finally reached the shield. And for the first time, the advance of the Dangongcham stopped. At that sight, the dwarves except Mikhail and Tenku began muttering.
“What, is this a destruction technique exclusively for protection magic? “Is it physically blocked?”
“But despite all that, it seems like the momentum is still there… ”
“Stop talking nonsense, you bastards! “Can’t you see our arms now?”
Mikhail screamed ‘Back!’ at the dwarves muttering behind him. Tenku and Mahiil’s arms, which were directly blocking the shield, were shaking as if they were suffering from tremors. This time, Tenku shouted bitterly.
“It’s so heavy it’s driving me crazy! Jiss man! Why don’t you finish the analysis quickly? “Do you want to take the family portrait?!”
“I just finished it anyway. It’s not a very hopeful story, but… .”
Jis muttered as he took off the goggles on his head. He looked like he was about to burst into tears at any moment.
“That is the state of conceptual jointness. Just think of it as cutting everything. Whether it’s mana or matter… Or even a concept.”
Were Jis’ words a signal?
The Dangongcham, which had stopped advancing, began to move forward again. The shields of the dwarves who were directly receiving the short attack began to crack apart. The dwarves screamed again.
“A shield made of harmanium physically splits?! “This is the discovery of the century!”
“Stop admiring! “You crazy bastard, everyone died because of that century’s discovery!”
“Hey Goddess, I’ve been knocking non-stop for a hundred years to make this.”
“Hey, crazy person! “You’re rushing to kill me for something I did just for a laugh.”
Jeongdo sat down on the ground and watched the scene. There was no sound, so I couldn’t tell the exact details, but it was clear enough that they were panicking like crazy. Somehow, I felt relieved.
<Your honor. Are you feeling okay? >
“… Except that I was tired because my mana was empty. I feel like I let everything go. “I don’t want to do anything right now.”
<Cl. If you keep using it, it gets better. Although it may still be a long way off for you.>
“Anyway, is that okay?”
Jeongdo said that and looked at the dwarves. They were now punching each other, as if they were fighting among themselves. It seemed like Tenku and Mikhail were still holding on to their shields and exchanging insults.
<It seems okay to General Vaughan. Very amazing. It was a technique that cut down even the Imoogi that was on the verge of ascending to heaven. I never thought there would be someone who would accept this.>
“… “Is this really okay?”
<General Bon assures you. If I really couldn’t afford it, I wouldn’t be making such a fuss. This is proof that there is still room.>
“Hmm. but.”
I had similar feelings to a certain extent. They were obviously panicking and the situation was urgent, but it didn’t feel like they were going to die.
Even though Cheok Jun-kyung is exceptionally good, he is still at the white level. It was also strange that the seven White-class members were unable to counter the attack thrown by the White-class. It wasn’t an attack with all its might to begin with.
‘Anyway, I never thought Cheok Jun-kyung would be loaded here again.’
Actually, this was more surprising than anything else.
To a moderate degree, I hoped to load only the highest level black characters. I thought that I could have a good match with JIS at that level.
But what is the result? It’s white. Cheok Jun-gyeong, also known as the military god, did exactly that and came forward. At this point, it seemed like someone was deliberately trying to screw the dwarves.
‘… ‘It really seems like a possibility.’
The white grade he selected from the dwarves’ dungeon was a total of three times.
Lirim. Lirim. Cheok Jun-kyung.
Although it wasn’t intended, all three white draws were a huge blow to the dwarves.
Just as I was about to think seriously about whether Jeongdo’s drawing skill was going in the direction of giving shit to the dwarves, I heard Cheok Jun-gyeong’s voice.
<Okay then. General Bon, let’s go now. It’s hard to stay long after using <Dangong Cham>. I hope to see you again next time.>
After hearing Cheok Jun-gyeong’s voice for the last time, a feeling of helplessness came over my body. The power of martial arts disappeared from the body.

<You have succeeded in loading a character of the highest level.>
<Mana increases by 10. All abilities increase by 10.>
And of course, two roulette wheels appeared. Of course, Jeongdo also loaded the album wired.
<… Confucius. What are those little people doing over there? It’s a scene that’s hard to understand with Jim’s limited common sense.>
“You don’t have to worry about it. “We pay attention to this.”
The two roulette wheels, which were spinning quickly, slowly slowed down and eventually came to a complete stop. A certain amount of attention was focused on roulette.
“Eh?”
<Huh?>
After seeing the results of the roulette game, Jeong-do and Yoo-seon couldn’t help but let out such exclamations. The results of roulette were very absurd.
<Cheonmujiche-lv.3>, <Dangong Cham>
The roulette reward appeared in the exact same configuration as last time. Jeongdo muttered while stroking his chin.
“It doesn’t make sense… “Have I really caught a bug?”
<It’s really fascinating. No matter how lucky you are, can something like this happen?>
“No way. Rather, it would be more correct to say that someone else intervened.”
The problem is that I don’t have the slightest idea about that person. I looked at the roulette with doubtful eyes.
No, it’s really good, but… It’s taking a while because I’m afraid I’ll get in trouble later if I just get it like this.
<So you won’t choose?>
“That doesn’t make any more sense.”
Jeong Do raised his hand towards the roulette. Yes, I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t choose <Dangongcham> last time, but now I have another opportunity like this.
Just as Jeong Do was about to choose <Dangongcham> as a reward, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
‘… Come to think of it, this is your first time, right?’
A certain amount of attention was directed to <Cheonmujiche-lv.3>.
Yes. This was my first time.
This was the first time that there was a possibility of acquiring the same talent as a roulette reward. Jeong Do has never been able to obtain talent through duplicates.
My mouth watered.
What happens if I choose this?
Since we already have the same talent, is it not possible to make a selection?
Or maybe the talent will be strengthened?!
If <Cheonmujiche> is strengthened… The results were difficult to imagine.
‘What should I do?’
An unbearable temptation overtook Jeongdo.
driving me crazy. What should I do with this?
What if I select <Cheonmujiche> but it says I can’t select it because I already own the talent? No, it was fortunate that it only showed up that way. In the worst case, you will not be able to strengthen <Cheonmujiche> and even lose the opportunity to select rewards.
‘driving me crazy.’
Will you stably choose <Dangong Cham>?
Or are you going to take a gamble with the high stakes of <Dangong Cham>?
“… Ixia. “What is your choice?”
<I’m sorry, master. Both rewards are beyond my scope of perception.>
Even I gave up on Ixia, whom I trusted.
In the end, the choice came down to degree. Jeong Do closed his eyes and was lost in thought for a moment. And he opened his eyes.
<You have chosen <Cheonmujiche-lv.3> as a reward.>
Even if you can’t eat it, it’s okay.
Anyway, life is full of luck and gambling. There was no weak option to avoid gambling here!
Of course, there were logical reasons other than such thoughts.
It was clear that at his current level, he would not be able to use <Dangong Cham>. The intention was to just strengthen something that I couldn’t use even if I got it anyway.
How about it?
Are you going to Ganghwa?!
Jeong-do glared at the notification window with bloodshot eyes. And the notification window responded as if it would accept that level of challenge.
<<Cheonmujiche-lv.3> is a complete, ultimate talent. Further strengthening is not possible.>
It was a line that contained a lot of meaning, but it was difficult to think about its meaning right away. The moment I saw the notification, I felt like my heart sank.
no way? Did you blow it? Did you hit a single bullet?!
But fortunately, the space system was not that much like a Korean game.
<The reward selection will be cancelled. You will automatically obtain the remaining rewards.>
<You have acquired the skill <Single Strike>.>
“Long live the universe.”
I swept my chest. If I had just fired the <Dangong Cham> as is, I would have felt like vomiting blood… The worst has been avoided.
When my senses returned, I took a deep breath.
‘I went crazy for a moment!’
No, how could I have thought of gambling with <Dangong Cham>? I was momentarily intoxicated by the sweet smell of gambling rewards.
Let’s never take a gamble like this again. When I made that decision, a notification window appeared in front of me again.
In conclusion, Jeongdo’s gamble paid off.
<For the first time, I attempted to strengthen <Talent>. It is a rare achievement never seen before in the entire universe.>
<A special reward will be given.>
Because luck always favors the courageous.
