27 Episode 27 - Power Enhancement, Part II (2/2)

Those who were doing the same thing reacted to the man's feelings. Some chewed on their lips, some shed tears, and some cried out.

They were all watched by the Mac Clan's soldiers.

Some of them thought to themselves, 'Does this test mean anything? 'What is he testing with this?'

It was a terrible, miserable sight.

However, the test to cut off the legs of the Wolves, compared to their desperation, did not seem to have much meaning.

Kim Tae-hoon did not intend to deny the fact.

It would be useful to practice stabbing the insides of meat and bones, cutting off the dead monster's legs was not meaningful.

But his reason for doing this was simple.

”There is no reason to accept them unless they are prepared to eat a monster's corpse.”

Can you do it, or not? It did not mean to see it.

In the first place, Kim Tae-hoon did not expect much from the survivors. His expectations were just vague expectations.

So, what Kim Tae-hoon wanted to see was their will to do it, or not.

If they do not have enough fighting spirit to cut apart a dead monster body and the will to survive, they are just living dead men, eating and making poo.

He didn't want to have such a survivor.

Fortunately, the survivors had strong wills to live. Strong enough that they were able to meet Kim Tae-hoon and the Mac Clan alive!

The way the survivors came here was hell.

”The time limit is up.”

Eventually, all twenty-two survivors crossed the line proposed by Kim Tae-hoon.

”Passed.”

After the short words of Kim Tae-hoon, the faces of the survivors who had wrestled with the hide, muscles, flesh, and bones of the Sabretooth Wolf for an hour, were filled with cheers and deep fatigue.

”Clean the body.”

Kim Tae-hoon did not give any congratulations or shake hands with them.

The night was late enough, and the test was over. Now was the time to take the rest that had been originally planned.

The Mac Clan must move again tomorrow when the sun rose.

They had to hunt monsters, get food, make roads, and secure relics.

And they had to repeat it again and again. They had to be ready for tomorrow, which would be more hopeless than today.

'It's over now.'

Most of all, death was predicted for Kim Tae-hoon. Within three to five years, he would be dead.

It was a time-limited life. He did not have time to celebrate something and to comfort.

'I have to find a way.'

Kim Tae-hoon did not intend to meet the fate of the dream Kim Tae-hoon.

That was how the night began.

5.

At 5 AM, Jang Sung-hoon was not able to fall asleep easily.

The cold weather was the reason, but the fact that his mind was full of the shining Golden Glass was the biggest reason he could not sleep.

'It lets us see our crisis in our dreams.'

The Golden Glass of Napoleon.

It was a shock to Jang Sung-hoon in many ways.

'It's a tool that can change the future.'

Knowing a crisis meant avoiding it. It was like changing the future.

It would change the world. It was a shock that such a relic existed in the world.

'Such relics are overflowing in the world.'

But there was something even more shocking.

'The world will be crazy… Those greedy people will not leave them be.'

Jang Sung-hoon was a chick in society at his age, he was still childish> His age was not much different from Bang Hyun-wook, who had a young personality, behavior, and attitude.

However, Jang Sung-hoon's social experience was darker than other people. The world he belonged to was filled with the word greed.

Jang Sung-hoon saw a lot in such a world.

How much greed could human beings have for art which is essentially useless?

How terrible is the greed of human beings who can do things that ignore human dignity to get that desired artwork?

The greed of such people would seem rather crude compared to the three desires of human beings.

In addition, the art that had an artistic value was now much more than that.

'I feel like they have a missile launch button in their hands.'

What was even eerier was that most of the art was already in the hands of greedy people.

'Even if I look at the situation right now, it is so.'

World-class artworks, historical relics, were not in the hands of ordinary people, but in the hands of those who knew the ability and methods of filling their greed.

Would they make efforts for the good of the world with those relics, the indispensable weapons which had amazing value now, when dealing with monsters?

Jang Sung-hoon, at least, did not want to leave his fate to such people.

'This fucking world.' Jang finally gave up sleeping.

If he slept, he'd have to get up sooner or later. Instead, he'd better get up early and organize his thoughts.

Jang Sung-hoon opened the car door and climbed out. The cold dawn wind hit his body.

Naturally, Jang Sung-hoon's gaze was on the blazing fire, and he headed for the man who was in front of the fire.

'Boss?'

Kim Tae-hoon was in front of the fire.

He was flying an arrow around himself, a featherless arrow which had only an arrowhead and shaft, while sipping coffee from a mug in his right hand.

Jang Sung-hoon walked toward Kim Tae-hoon. ”Boss.”

The conversation between the two of them began again.
