Chapters Chapter 183: Learning Oraclomind (1/2)
When Kang Chul-In first started to use the Oraclomind, he was unable to catch Tuzenbach.
It was obvious this would happen.
Tuzenbach had trained for countless years to master this skill, whilst Kang Chul-In had just only learned it.
“Kuku…”
Tuzenbach laughed.
“Little bastard, do you really think you can beat me, the great swordmaster Tuzenbach with…”
POW!
Kang Chul-In’s sword managed to hit Tuzenbach’s shoulder.
“Ack!!”
Screaming in pain, Tuzenbach rolled on the ground.
“Old man.”
Kang Chul-In laughed evilly.
“I thought I told you that I’ve already learned it.”
“Y-You… don’t tell me you forcefully increased the capacity of your brain by…?”
“Of course I did.”
“But, the aftereffects…”
“Who cares.”
“...!”
“I think I’d be able to sell my soul if that let me beat you up.”
“T-That much…?”
“Get ready.”.
Using the mana from Overdrive to increase the capacity and capabilities of his brain, Kang Chul-In was easily able to overwhelm Tuzenbach. And the result… was a terrifying beating.
Pow!
Papow!
Kang Chul-In’s sword mercilessly hit the arms and legs of Tuzenbach.
“Y-You…”
“This is why you should really shut up.”
“...!”
“I’ll crush you.”
Saying that, Kang Chul-In threw away the sword he was using, and clenched his two fists.
Mental training… was meant to be done through his fists, after all.
Pow!
Papow!!
“Kuackkkkk!”
And that was the day that the sounds of a pig being slaughtered could be heard from the ‘strongest swordsman in Pangaea’, Tuzenbach.
“Huhu…”
Kang Chul-In laughed.
“W-Wait!!”
“Shut up.”
“Wai… Aghh!”
Kang Chul-In’s fist struck Tuzenbach’s face.
Crack!!!
With a sound of something shattering, yellow teeth started to fall out of Tuzenbach’s mouth.
T-This crazy bastard…
Tuzenbach couldn’t believe the situation right now.
The achievement that he had gotten after training for a lifetime--- someone managed to get it in just a day. Tuzenbach was astonished, and felt somewhat depressed.
But that wasn’t all.
Uuhh…! It hurts…
Kang Chul-In’s beating was truly terrifying.
By forcefully activating his brain’s full capacity, Kang Chul-In was beating up Tuzenbach while taking the full brunt of the aftereffects.
A terrible nosebleed.
Red, almost bloody, eyes.
Currently, Kang Chul-In had an appearance that surpassed being just ‘tough’; he looked like a crazy devil.
“Huhu…”
Actually, he was a crazy devil.
Kang Chul-In was laughing.
He was swinging his fists as if beating Tuzenbach was truly enjoyable and satisfying.
“S-Stop!! That’s enough! You have my acknowledgement!!”
“No.”
But Kang Chul-In merely shook his head.
“I still have to hit you 566 times.”
“W-Why!?”
“Old man, you hit me exactly 71 times.”
“...You counted that?”
“Of course.”
With things like this, Kang Chul-In was quite childish.
“I originally needed to hit you 710 times since it’s 71 multiplied by 10. Since I’ve already hit you 144 times, 710 minus 144 is 566. In conclusion, I still need to hit you 566 times.”
“K-Kuk… What kind of miraculous method of counting is that?”
“It’s my way of calculating.”
“...”
“Well then, good luck.”
“Huh? U-Uh… Uhhhh?! Kuaaaa!”
That day, Tuzenbach also realized how badly a person could be beaten up, and how much pain one could take. After getting hit 566 more times.
--------------
“Sob… sob…”
Tuzenbach began to sob, putting his pride behind him.
“You meanie… bad guy… Sob…”
It hurt.
It hurt a lot.
Kang Chul-In’s mental training was enough to make even Tuzenbach, who had trained himself for a lifetime, cry.
“Ha… Hu…”
Of course, Kang Chul-In himself wasn’t in a good state.
After forcefully increasing his brain’s capacity, he was paying the price. Well, part of it was because he had gotten tired after beating Tuzenbach up so much.
This… is even more dangerous than Overdrive.
That was how Kang Chul-In thought of the Oraclomind.
A headache that seemed to split his head apart, dizziness, and weird sounds in his ears.
He was also extremely tired.
It was entirely possible that if he had used the Oraclomind for 30 more seconds, his brain would have either exploded, or he would have gone crazy.
“You stubborn bastard… Damned bastard… I have never seen someone like you before…! Wait, I guess Julius, that kiddo, was like you too.”
“Shut… up… Hu…”
“No, I don’t want to. Haha….”
“...It seems like you still haven’t learned your lesson….”
“N-No!! I have! I most definitely have!”
Even after all of that, Kang Chul-In and Tuzenbach continued to fight, with both of them lying on the ground, exhausted.
“Hmph… Anyway, I acknowledge you.”
Tuzenbach said, signaling the end of the quest.
“Who are you to acknowledge me?”
“You rude bastard!! I can’t believe that comes out of your mouth, even after I, your master, taught you the skill that took me a lifetime to learn!!”
“Master? Who?”
“Y...You…!”
“I’m a Lord. There is no one above me.”
“Then how about the emperor that you…”
“There is no emperor.”
“...!”
“Well, that might be different once I become the emperor myself.”
“Y-You... Crazy bastard.”
