Chapter 27 - B Rank (2) (1/2)
B Rank (2)
The monster leaped high, almost flying, and the huge Golem’s fist turned to the monster.
Wow! A single blow has crushed one arm of the Golem.
Then the monster threw the spear again.
This time, it was aimed at Il-hyun, at great speed.
Bang!
Il-hyun raised his sword at the right moment and blocked it. The spear crashed next to him.
He stretched his hand to the spear on the ground and grabbed it firmly.
He tried to steal the weapon, but it was no use.
With its hand stretched out, the monster called back the spear. Il-hyun couldn’t hold on it with his power.
Boom! The spear flew and went back to the monster’s waiting hand.
The skin of Il-hyun’s right hand was peeled off, and blood dripped down. It was painful.
The monster that recovered the weapon jumped and smashed the Golem’s head.
The Golem lost its balance and tilted, and then the monster speared it down from the top. The spear broke through the Golem’s side, and it collapsed to rubble.
The sharp spear is now pointed at him again.
Caen!
Il-hyun wielded his sword, and when it crashed against the spear, the spear broke in half!
The monster was astonished and froze on the spot.
The monster was shocked. It was impossible for the spear to break with just that little power.
However, Il-hyun laughed knowingly and, at that same moment, swung his sword against the monster’s neck.
When Il-hyun held the monster’s spear earlier, he used his transformation ability to weaken the weapon’s hardness.
Quork!
The monster caught the sword with its bare hands.
The blade dug into the the monster’s palms. Dark blood flowed from it.
Il-hyun’s put more strength to his sword.
The monster knelt on the ground as it tried to endure the attack.
Once again, Il-hyun’s gazeandthe monster’s met.
In the heat of that stare, he felt his hatred intensify.
“Be quiet… die!”
Il-hyun exclaimed, and at the same time, a giant snake appeared behind the monster and swallowed it up!
Qaw aah!
A three-story building had been transformed into the huge snake, and as the snake writhed around, it struck other buildings, throwing vast amounts of dirt and debris.
Il-hyun stepped back, and only after the dust subsided was he able to identify the torn monster’s body.
“Hoo…”
Il-hyun exhaled loudly, filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Meanwhile, Lee Soo-yeon jumped over the debris and approached.
She looked down at the fallen monster and looked amazed.
“You caught it yourself…?”
“I got lucky.”
Said Il-hyun.
His words were full of pride.
Monsters of rank B were stronger than he thought, and it was only possible to defeat it because his ability was not blocked.
“Anyway, I broke my tooth, can this be fixed?”
Il-hyun said while touching the missing part of the molar with his index finger.
He felt his nerves, and it was a bad feeling that stung.
His beaten face was swollen slightly.
“What… right. I’ve broken mine a few times, and it grew up again in a day.”
Nowadays, even if a few teeth went out, a few pills can make them grow again. It was not a big problem.
The problem was that the drug price was a little high.
Lee Soo-yeon still found it difficult to believe the situation. She walked around the monster’s body and asked Il-hyun.
“How long has it been since the last time you were tested as an Awakener?”
“Well… It would have been two weeks ago. Why are you asking now?”
“Haha… Maybe you should try it again.”
Lee Soo-yeon laughed as if the thought was absurd.

Aegis inspection laboratory was in the basement.
A day has passed since the end of the operation in the Philippines.
Beyond the glass window, Il-hyun looked at the machine that measured his body.
It was the second Awakened testing procedure for Il-hyun, and he went through several items without awkwardness.
Strength, wits, judgment, etc.
From simple measurement to simulation using virtual reality, results were combined.
Aegis produced more accurate results with fewer errors than other professional inspection stations and government inspections using its own developed equipment.
Of course, it took a lot of time.
After a few tests, he was given a break for a while, and Il-hyun lay down on a bench.
The employee who was in charge of the inspection went out of the laborartory.
Meanwhile, Lee Soo-yeon and Jung Jin-sung were waiting for a brief internal meeting.
“How is it going?”
“It’s exhausting, but looking at these numbers, he seems to be in B rank. All aspects have improved dramatically since the first test. The exact thing will be known after the inspection is over.”
