Chapter 6 - Day 2, 2nd Floor Complete

[Technique - Limiter Release:  By turning off the subconscious safeguard, you can greatly reduce the pain you feel and raise your strength beyond normal limits. Your body will bear the burden of being pushed beyond its limits. As the pain is blurred, there are a few cases where people don’t realize they are self-destructing.]

[Pain reduction and muscle growth rate will rise in proportion to the level.]

[Current level: LV 1. 1/100]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I roughly understood. Thank you for everything. But couldn’t you tell me how to use it?

Kw.a.n.g!

I was backed against the wall and being hit by the terminator. No, the dummy’s punch hit the wall. I was definitely glad I had the effects of Pain Tolerance. I couldn’t retreat due to being hit in the stomach.

[In order to activate, the command is ‘activate - technique name’.]

[In order to disable, the command is ‘disable - technique name’.]

Activate. Technique - Limiter Release.

I should have said it with my mouth, but ended up saying it inwardly due to being punched. But it worked.

[Muscle strength has exceeded the limit.]

[Muscle strength:  11]

My senses suddenly disappeared. It felt like my whole body, excluding the head, had received anesthesia.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

I squatted down and guarded my body with both arms. There was no pain at all. It just felt like I was being pushed. My heart started beating wildly. It was very similar to the first time I drank coffee. It felt like I could do anything.

[Current Balance: 82/123]

I knew what had happened to my body, and now was the time to act as quickly as possible. I gently released my guard and straightened my body. The dummy’s fist slammed through the hole in my defenses.

A hit.

Pak!

It didn't hurt.

It didn’t mean there wasn’t an impact. My head shook and I could taste blood in my mouth. But there was no pain. Most importantly, my eyes didn’t close despite being hit. Was there such a thing as fighting without pain?

I stretched out a hand towards the dummy. It didn’t matter how many blows I took, I just focused on catching it. It was different from earlier. In a fight of strength, I could easily overcome the dummy like it was a child!

Kwatang.

The dummy fell to the ground and I trapped it from above. Once again, this guy’s weakness was obvious. If I wasn’t shaken by its fists, then I could easily press and hold it down.

[Current Balance: 59/123]

Although I had been hit quite a bit before this, that nightmare was now over.

Son of a b*tch.

I sat down on the dummy’s abdomen and used my knees to pin its arms. How should I kill this guy? Usually, these enemies would be able to move even after body parts are torn off. The head or torso usually had to be broken before they stopped working. The torso or the head?

I decided the head was my target.

Putting all of my strength into my fists, I started a barrage of punches aimed at the dummy’s head.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

In a matter of seconds, we had exchanged roles from punisher and the pummeled, completely reversing the tide of battle.

[Current Balance: 54/123]

[Current Balance: 51/123]

[Current Balance: 48/123]

My health was reduced as I injured myself. Blood covered my fists. No matter how much the gloves protected me, I was still punching solid wood.

But I kept on punching.

I didn’t have much strength, but the face of the dummy was gradually breaking into splinters.  ”Just a little more! Quickly! Die! Die!” Maybe it was the effect of Limiter Release that made my personality a little more radical.

[Named Monster. Wooden Dummy, Scold has been handled.]

Suddenly, the dummy’s face looked like crushed garlic. The body I held down no longer reacted to anything. It was finished.

Hu. As I breathed in and out, I saw that I had 30 HP remaining. Still, I felt none of the pain in my body. Wasn’t there a command to disable the technique? As a test, I just thought about it in my head.

Disable. Technique - Limiter Release.

It was effective as all the pain came flooding back.

”Uck!”

My shoulders felt like the muscle had been torn from the bone. My elbows and wrists were screaming and the bleeding fists looked raw and gory.

I had crushed a wooden head with my fists. Perhaps it was for this reason. However, I’d done it with something else in mind.

[Punching. LV 2. 87/200]

[Pain Tolerance. LV 5 29/1600]
