Chapter 331 One Person (5)
“Ptoo!” Seo Jun-Ho spat the charred tissues of his organs He felt his body recover ever so slowly thanks to Cell Regeneration (A)
‘My internal organs were day’
The intense storic had occurred inside of hians To protect them, he had to obtain suitable ‘resistance’
“Contractor, would you like some water? Rest”
“It’s not so bad that I need to rest,” Seo Jun-Ho replied His face was pale as he re-assumed the lotus position Compared to all the countless thorny paths he had walked so far, this was actually quite on the easier side “This is good, actually”
He thought that the World Tree had given hiave me what I need one through rapid groith his stats increasing by twice their original number However, if someone asked him if he could use all of that power, the ansould obviously be ‘no’
‘Because I didn’t have tiht now, he was going through a type of growing pains He was planning to take his time and slowly adapt to his power, and the World Tree had coincidentally given him time to do just that
‘I understand why they call her the tree of wisdom now’
It was as if she had looked into the future and arranged all these for him He actually felt a little touched by what she had done
Seo Jun-Ho slowly closed his eyes “Let’s take it one firm step at a time”
He still had 361 chances left He ‘only’ had to co those chances
Seo Jun-Ho leisurely made up his mind
‘Even if I steel oing to appear’
He believed in himself He believed in the man the World Tree believed in
“Let’s start”
Magic started to speed through his ragged circuits once more
A month and a half later, the party was done with their ten Quests and said their farewells to Seo Jun-Ho
“We’ll gather information for you in the next city”
“I’ll contact you”
“Don’t skipwell”
“Please do not push yourself too hard”
“Bye”
He watched their backs disappear in a daze before returning to the training room As he stared at the empty room, he felt a sense of emptiness for some reason It felt like he had just come home from a vacation to return to his cold, empty house by himself
“Do you feel lonely?” the Frost Queen asked
“Not really It’s not like it’ll be much different from what I have done until now”
The only ti mealtimes anyway Aside fro his Overclocking And now, he reaped the fruits of his labor
[You have been injured by ic]
[Your cells have acquired the lowest-level Magic Resistance]
[Magic Resistance has increased to low-level]
[Magic Resistance has increased to h-level]
Magic Resistance
Thanks to that, no et torn apart
“Let’s just practice”
He pushed aside his y
Seventy percent
Eighty percent
Ninety percent
Even when his output shot up to ninety-two percent in an instant, he was able to maintain it with no trouble
“Hoo”
He let out a small exhale as the output started to stabilize
His goal for today was to complete the first Quest
‘I can reach ninety-five percent output, but it doesn’t last that long’
However, he stu tostuck atto just be extra stubborn
‘I’ll get help froht Sun’
The arthen the Frost-infused energy in his circuits As such, it would certainly bedown the heat created fro at ninety-five percent output
“Reconsider this It will be dangerous,” said the Frost Queen
“The last tih-level, so it’ll be fine”
The Frost Queen orried about the exceptional ice-enhancing effects of the armor “That power cannot be controlled, so it will be evenelse I can do, so I’ll just have to risk it”
With all his preparations coic power, and the white armor covered his body
Just in case, he made a request to the Frost Queen “On the off chance that I end up being a cripple, don’t hesitate and just kill me off”
“”
The Frost Queen didn’t reply Rather, she gave him a cold stare and turned her head
But before Seo Jun-Ho could even say anything else, his face darkened
‘It’s co’
Fwoooosh!+
Just as Midnight Sun’s enhanceh his circuits becah!’
An intense cold grazed through his body At this point, it felt like cooling down the heat was the least of his problems He felt like his whole body would freeze over at any reater aic running through his body a hundred times a second, his body actually vibrated
‘I-I have to hold on’
A tug-of-war between the untaan As the Frost Queen watched, her face grew shocked, and she uncrossed her arht?”
Seo Jun-Ho was already in a state where he couldn’t even respond He had already juo of the reins now, the uncontrolled ic would definitely snap and backlash
‘And then I’ll die’
As cold sweat started to drip down his body, Seo Jun-Ho re onto his detero all the way to the end’
Ninety-three percent
Ninety-four percent
Ninety-five percent
The output continued to increase, and it eventually reached ninety-five percent His body repeatedly cycled through hot and cold He would sweat, and then his sould freeze over and over again
‘J-just a little y h his circuits, the shadow of death loomed closer and closer However, Jun-Ho won over the pressure and started pushi+ng out evenit
Thumpthumpthumpthumpthump!
Scarily, his heart started to pound like it had gone haywire Most people wouldn’t be able to hold out any longer at this point, but Seo Jun-Ho was different
‘This is the turning point’
If he could just stabilize and oing for an hour
By then, the first Quest would be coo on to the next
‘But what about after?’
If he decided on his liht now and stepped back once he reached it, he wouldn’t be able to perfect his technique by reaching a hundred percent output
If he didn’t do it right now, he strongly felt that he wouldn’t be able to reach it again
