◈ Episode 34. I can become stronger. (One)
One believer.
They were considered one of the most dangerous groups of evildoers in the world, and as a result, Ilsinja received a lot of attention from both the bright and the dark.
In Yangji, there was tremendous hostility, fear, and horror.
In the shade, awe and admiration.
However, even though they received a lot of attention, there were not many evil people who were single believers.
There are only about 50 evildoers who belong to the Monolithic group.
Considering that there are hundreds of evildoers who belong to the first class of evildoers identified by the industry as being at a similar level to the Ilshinja, the number of evildoers belonging to the Ilshinja was not that large.
Rather, because the number was so small, the single believers were admired by wicked people and became a group that any wicked person wanted to join.
And the basement of a remote island in the North Pacific where such a hideout for single believers is located.
Especially in the office used by the leader of Ilshinji.
[모든 것을 죽이는 용이 이 개새끼야! He goes crazy like crazy!]
“crime… … sorry!”
He is one of the top 10 villains and is called the Dragon King by villains and contractors.
[The dragon that kills everything closes its eyes and draws three characters for patience as if it is holding back its anger, but is unable to do so and goes berserk again.]
“sorry!!”
Hannibal was pounding his head in his office.
The reason is the anger expressed by his own constellation.
Of course, Hannibal had no idea why his Constellation was so angry.
But he knew.
If the dragon that kills everything starts to get angry, you may make a mistake and your life is in danger.
That’s why Hannibal stuck his head in his mouth and kept saying he was sorry.
The dragon that kills everything has been craving Hannibal for a while.
[The dragon that kills everything tells you to behave well.]
“All right! I’m really sorry!”
[The dragon that kills everything says he needs to rest now. He says he is too tired and closes his eyes.]
“sorry!”
Hannibal was about to end his head-slamming stance when he heard a loud voice and an invisible notification window.
[The dragon that kills everything opens its eyes again.]
He had no choice but to hit his head again as the notification window popped up again.
[The dragon that kills everything warns you not to spread artificial relics from now on.]
“Yes, I understand!”
After that, Hannibal carefully got up from his seat and nervously sat down in his chair as the notification window no longer appeared even after waiting for more than a minute.
‘What on earth?’
Hannibal frowned as if he truly did not understand and tried to understand the current situation, but no matter how much he thought about it, it was difficult to understand.
‘Why Constellation?’
No, when Hannibal realized that Choi Jin-geon had failed to retrieve the Cheongwoldo through the news, he was able to get a rough idea of what the picture was.
There must have been some kind of problem during the work, and Choi Jin-geon probably ate the artificial relic that could be used to temporarily contract and called the Constellation.
okay.
I understand up to this point.
But what I didn’t understand started here.
‘The constellation… … ‘You were afraid of something?’
Without knowing why, he continued to ask for forgiveness from his constellation, and in the meantime, he could hear what the ‘dragon that kills everything’ was saying.
And when we made an inference from those words, we came to the conclusion that the ‘dragon that kills everything’ that descended through the artificial relic saw something there.
It’s also something that makes you feel like you’re going to become ‘X’.
‘What on earth? ‘There’s something about the Constellation that feels threatened?’
That’s why Hannibal fell into confusion.
That’s because Hannibal knew that in the 20 years since he signed a true contract with the immortal dragon, his constellation had never once said such a thing.
He was a constellation with such great pride and fighting spirit that he even smiled and revealed his true identity when he faced the true spirit of the ‘King of the Swords’, one of the constellations that was presumed to be of a higher rank than himself.
But is he afraid of his own constellation?
Are you even angry at yourself for putting yourself through something like that?
And that for over 3 days?
‘why… … ‘What happened?’
Hannibal looked very confused and tried to run a simulation of what happened in the Choi Jin family, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t come up with the right answer.
No matter how much he thought about it, Hannibal couldn’t think of a situation that would allow him to threaten his own constellation.
‘… … ‘I’d like to ask, if I feel the same way.’
The dragon, who was currently killing everything, had been in a state of extreme anger a while ago, and he knew that if he touched it for no reason, sparks would fly, so he had no choice but to make one decision.
‘… … I guess we shouldn’t touch the Choi Jin family for the time being.’
Hannibal calmed his curiosity and decided to act like that until he received a proper answer from his constellation.
smart-
“come in.”
As soon as Hannibal answered the knocking sound, a man opened the door and came in.
As soon as he entered the door, he bowed his head politely to Hannibal and spoke.
“I came to report on what you said yesterday.”
“Are you talking about Choi Jin-gun?”
“yes.”
“say it.”
In response to Hannibal’s words, the man placed several documents in front of him and spoke.

“First of all, it was impossible to directly contact Choi Jin-geon and obtain information because the association’s surveillance was so thorough, and an internal employee infiltrated into the association was instructed to deal with Choi Jin-geon.”
“Tell them that they should avoid getting caught as much as possible. “There is still a lot to gain from the association.”
“I will tell you. and… … .”
“and?”
“Currently, we have received an anonymous request.”
“I think I just told you to handle requests independently, so why are you even telling me?”
“The amount is very large.”
“… … “How much?”
At Hannibal’s words, the man placed one of the documents on his desk in front of him.
“… … her? “How much is this?”
“Because of the amount, I thought it would be a good idea to take charge of the confirmation, so I told you about it.”
Certainly, as the man said, the amount of remuneration for the request written in the document was very large.
And since the request was made to Ilsinja, there was no way this amount was fake.
In the meantime, Ilsinja has shown the outside world several times what happened to those who made false requests.
That’s why Hannibal read the text with an interested expression.
“… … “It’s Kim Joo-hyuk.”
Soon, he smiled with a meaningful expression upon seeing the target designated for the request.
####
“Joohyuk.”
“?”
“Joohyuk.”
“why.”
“Joohyuk.”
“??”
“Joohyuk.”
“… … “Are you going back to being a swashbuckler again?”
‘Oh, no. It was just a cheap fight from the beginning.’
Kim Joo-hyuk asked with that in mind, but Choi A-rin was still looking at him with a smile.
‘Why is he like this again?’
And as Kim Joo-hyuk felt somewhat uncomfortable with that unexpected smile, Choi A-rin opened her mouth once more.
“Joohyuk.”
“Stop calling me and get to the point.”
“he… … .”
“Smiling???”
Choi A-rin smiled and tilted her head slightly and spoke.
“Nothing.”
Kim Joo-hyuk thought as he watched her say that and then listen to her homeroom teacher’s prayer with a grinning expression.
‘Why are you doing this again? ‘Is this a sign of something?’
Of course, the omen did not make Kim Joo-hyuk anxious.
It’s just annoying.
‘Why is this guy suddenly doing the same thing as her?’
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned when he remembered Yoo So-yeon saying that shit to him.
“This concludes today’s funeral. And there will probably be an important announcement tomorrow morning, so everyone, don’t be late.”
As soon as the bell ceremony was over, Kim Joo-hyuk stood up and spoke as if he had no more waiting.
“I’m skipping training today.”
“… … why?”
“I have work to do.”
“What is there to do?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then what should I do?”
In response to Choi A-rin’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk asked, “How do I know that?” I tried to answer, but I felt like it would somehow bother me if I said that, so I said something else.
“Are you doing it alone?”
“yea, I got it.”
“If you want to do something else, you can do it.”
“If Joo-hyuk wants it.”
“?”
“I’ll do something else if you want.”
“… … ?”
“?”
“No, I mean, why are you making a questioning expression there?”
Choi A-rin raises a question mark above her head as if she doesn’t know more about Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at him like that, seemed to think for a moment and then spoke.
“… … “Hey, isn’t there such a thing as independent thinking?”
“Independent thinking?”
“Okay, what do I want to do? There is something like this. doesn’t exist?”
“there is.”
“okay? Then you can do it. Do that, then.”
“Are you doing it now?”
“what is that?”
“What Joo-hyuk wants to do.”
“… … ??”
“??”
“?”
“?”
For a moment, Kim Joo-hyuk seriously wondered if there was something wrong with his logic circuit, but when he realized that it was useless, he waved his hands as if it was enough.
“… … Well, you figure it out. Just do what you want to do, what you want to do. Anyway, I won’t do it today and I’ll do it again tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow, Joohyuk.”
The voice heard as Kim Joo-hyuk said that and headed toward the classroom door.
He ended his greeting with a wave of his hand and immediately returned to the dormitory.
“Whoa… … .”
With an expression of great anticipation, I took out an old book hidden in a corner of the dormitory.
Divine skill,
Of course, this was not a fraudulent martial art like the Heavenly Demon God martial arts in the martial arts magazine, where one’s physical ability suddenly improves just by learning it.
What is in this book is, in the end, a mind method that improves the efficiency of the Tonap method he uses to be several times more efficient.
Of course, if you say this, someone may say that.
Why did you make such a fuss over just one thing?
However, from Kim Joo-hyuk’s perspective, being able to accumulate high-quality magical power several times faster was not just simple.
‘If you think about it, the reason we ended up fighting Barche was because we didn’t have enough magic power.’
Physical training is physical training, but magical power is also important.
That’s because magic ultimately helps when a person draws out power beyond their limits.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk’s important magical power was significantly less than that of other strong players.
Unlike other strong players who initially developed their magic power by receiving excellent support, Kim Joo-hyuk climbed up from the ground and built up his magic power by simply using the popular pawn method in the market.
In short, it was a special case.
Thanks to this, Kim Joo-hyuk had a clear difference in magical power compared to other strong players, so he tried to change his mentality.
‘At that time, it was impossible because the Tonap method was already fully established in the body.’
By the time he was able to earn money and buy a good meditation book, Tonapbeop had already taken root in his body, so Kim Joo-hyuk had no choice but to cry and eat mustard and use only Tonapbeop.
But now?
‘It’s possible to change it… … !’
The current Kim Joo-hyuk was able to fully learn new skills.
This was because the Tonap method had not yet taken root in his body, and on the contrary, the appropriate amount of magical energy had developed, making it a very good body for training the Mind method.
‘It’s really a good thing I didn’t sell it and kept it.’
300 years ago, Kim Joo-hyuk, who had thought about selling it because he didn’t need it anyway, but couldn’t sell it because of love and hate, would be so helpful, so Kim Joo-hyuk quickly opened the book and began to explore its contents.
After some time had passed.
“end.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who read the method written in the new technique in an instant, smiled at the corner of his mouth and began to move his magical power within his body.
His magical power, which had grown noticeably larger than when he first accumulated it through the Tonap technique, now moved around his body very naturally and according to his will.
The moment when he begins to use the contents written in the new technique to use his magical power.
“… … !”
Kim Joo-hyuk was instinctively convinced.
Sigh!
Confidence that you can become stronger than before.
