Chapter 47 (2/2)

You can hold onto anything using these protuberances and won’t make any sound while sticking and moving.

Magic Power Consumption: 1 every 30 seconds (The longer you stick to the wall, the more your mana will decrease).]

It was too disappointing. I thought it would be a pretty good skill since it had a heroic rating like the shadow dagger, yet that wasn’t the case. “How am I supposed to use this?”

I tried shooting a cobweb and climbing a wall. However, it was a skill that was useless for me. Of course, it was better than nothing but there was no place for me to use it. It was literally a skill I couldn’t give up despite being of little interest.

“Then there is this...”

After eating the inner cores, my sensory stat changed to super sensitivity.

No, it hadn’t changed. It was better to say that it evolved to a higher tier stat.

[Super Sensitivity: You taste, touch, smell, hearing, and vision are more sensitive.

* If an enemy’s attack falls within a 1 meter radius, for every 50 points in super sensitivity, you can see the enemy’s attack in a slowed down manner for 0.1 second.]

It seemed like a good thing. Being able to see the slowed down enemy attacks was definitely a good thing. However, this story only applied when it lasted a long time.

“0.1 seconds. What can I do with this?”

It had taken me three hours. There had been messages saying I shouldn’t move while absorbing the inner cores. I had to sit cross-legged for three hours without moving.

“It took 30 minutes to try things out and 30 minutes to come down... what a waste.”

Due to my age, every day was very precious yet I wasted four hours on this nonsense.

“Hah...”

I could see a familiar landscape. I was watching the giant windmill with disappointment when a familiar voice was heard, “Broder~! ~!!”

“Drain?”

I could see Drain running toward me from the distance. Why was he running like that? The reason was unknown but he seemed to be in a hurry. Finally, he gasped as he arrived before me.

“Broder, Miss Kim... pant.”

“Sujeong? What happened to Sujeong?”

“Kidnapped... pant, she was kidnapped!”

“...What?”

I quickly sent a whisper to Sujeong.

-Jackson: Sujeong, where are you?

[The user ‘Crystal’ is unable to accept whispers.]

Drain’s words continued, “Fire... pant, Fire Dragons...”

The moment I heard the name, my body trembled with unbearable anger.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is sighing and says he thought it would be like this.]

“Pant, he said he would wait in the east forest.”

Those guys really used any means...

Those damn guys opened a door they shouldn’t have opened. I made a pledge. I would tear them apart. I pledged that I would chew them up and enjoy it, making them never recover again.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is starting the route guidance.]

I hurried to the east. The name of this place was Yurnia Forest. The huge Yurnia Mountains, lush forest, and cliffs made it a charming place. Sometimes, slime monsters emerged but they weren’t strong. I moved through the forest and the place I arrived at was a large, vacant lot.

“Hey, who is this? How are you, old man?” Six Fires—I saw that damn face and gritted my teeth.

He walked over the moment he saw me. “Aren’t you brave? You came here alone?”

This guy...

“I am very grateful for the other day. I was stigmatized as a pervert.” Six Fires approached and pushed me with his shoulders.

However, he shouldn’t have come. Son of a bitch.

“Aack! Aaaack! My arm! My arm!!” Six Fires hit my arm and asked me to release him. However, I didn’t want to let go. I tightened my grip even further.

“Aaaack! Aaaack!”

All the people around me pulled out their blades.

“This crazy old man!”

“Aren’t you going to let go?!”

“You’re out of your mind!”

They were surrounding me as they pulled out their weapons. I wanted to kick Six Fires’ face and give him a true lesson but I endured it. It was because Sujeong was being held hostage. “Where is she?”

“......”

“I asked where she is.”

They were gulping at the dark killing intent in my eyes. Then I heard a voice, “Old man, hasn’t it been a while?”

Supreme Fire Dragon. This jerk...

“Where is Sujeong?”

“Sujeong? Oh, is her name Sujeong? That woman is over there.”

My eyes followed his finger. Then I saw Sujeong hanging from a tree.
