Chapter 418 – Special(9)
A circle is drawn centered around where I stand.
The diameter is approximately 50 to 60 m.
Based on this circle, the once one world was divided into two.
Outside the circle is everyone’s world, unchanged from before.
The inside of the circle is a world just for me.
I open the status window, barely suppressing the indescribable sensation rising from my toes.

[Mutual non-aggression (2022.06.09.~2025.12.31)]
[No disclosure (2022.06.09.~2025.12.31.)]
The most important thing to pay attention to here is magic attribute.
The magic power that was ahead by extorting the opponent’s abilities finally reached 100.
What it means is very special.
“I took it, S class…”
9 of all abilities is a wall.
The moment you cross it, you experience a completely different level of growth when 9 returns to 0 than when you go from 7 to 8, or from 8 to 9.
Therefore, from 90 onwards, you have to break the wall every moment to increase your ability level by just 1.
If you climb up the stairs one by one, you will reach the end.
99.
The limit of what humans can reach.
Those who went beyond this and reached 100 and became S-class hunters say the same thing.
I am standing at a new starting line, not an end.
And that is not wrong.
Because the ability score of 100 is the minimum qualification to break through the limitations of humans and stand at the starting line of the new world we face.
“Hmm, a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time.”
Whatever your ability, you will feel it the moment it reaches 100.
Another world hidden behind a thick wall of limitations.
The feeling that a person who has never left his hometown feels when he sets foot on foreign soil for the first time.
Just by taking a breath there, I feel like something has changed greatly, and I have a feeling that it will change.
Feeling a sense of excitement and a sense of déjà vu, I pay attention to another symbol that proves my S-class status.
[Ruler’s Realm]
-Activate your own area.
-Exercises absolute influence in that area.
A simple, yet thought-provoking explanation.
The lower-level characteristics obtained by breaking through human limitations are generally like this.
The explanation is not unkind.
It just has infinite possibilities that need to be explained so comprehensively.
And how to use it is entirely up to the hunter who has acquired the trait.
“It’s the ruler’s territory…”
Among the names of the characteristics obtained by reaching 100 abilities, the most common ones are known.
However, the characteristic of being a ruler’s domain does not exist anywhere.
There is a possibility that someone has gotten it but is hiding it… , Somehow I feel even more strongly that I am the first.
Anyway, what’s more important than that right now.
“What can you do with this?”
The moment the area is activated, the magical power in the body is being consumed.
It is not that heavy thanks to the total amount that has increased significantly as the magic attribute ability exceeds 100.
It’s not at a level that can be ignored, but it can be managed appropriately.
At the same time, the sensations are greatly amplified.
As if hiding something from me or deceiving me in this area is unacceptable.
Aaaaaeang-!
The flapping of a fly’s wings across an area where tension is rampant sounds like the sound of a strong fan turned on right in front of you.
So it’s a little painful.
Eyes, ears, nose, and even the mouth.
All major body parts are suffering from sensations that are suddenly amplified several times.
“Wow… “It will take some time to get used to this.”
This is the second time in my life that my senses have become this clear.
The first is when dealing with a disaster that appeared in the middle of Gangnam.
I think this is what it felt like when I used too much power to the point where the magic circuit was damaged.
It’s a little absurd to think that way.
“It’s a feeling I got when I pulled someone up at the risk of dying, but how is everything so easy with this body?”
Is this the difference in talent?
After reducing the pain by forcibly closing off some of the senses, calmly examine what is felt within the area.
Team members follow the retreat signal and quickly move away.
“Hey, come quickly!”
“What are you doing standing there?”
“Puppy-!”
“Dojin… !”
Wow.
Even though you have reduced the sensation, does it sound like you shouted right in front of your ear?
I pick my ringing ears with my fingers and shift my gaze to one side.
“Gulp… !”
What catches the eye is the servant of the Bongshinhoe walking back, swallowing dry saliva with a nervous expression.
The facial expressions, heavy breathing, trembling neck, trembling gait.
The will created by them coming together seeps deep into my heart.
“Aha… “Are you trying to run away?”
A momentary glance.
At this, the numb guy turns around and sighs in Chinese.
It looks like he is planning to run away and see whether he becomes porridge or rice.
“Good. “Let’s try an experiment.”
Absolute influence listed in the characteristics.
To test this, I look at the guy who is running away and quietly mutter.
“Stop moving.”
At that moment, the magic power in the area begins to fluctuate.
The magic power that flowed like a river pours out all at once, entangling the body of the fleeing guy.
“Keuuk… !?”
A guy who is suddenly bound by something invisible tries his best to free himself.
“Profit, profit… , Keaaaaa!”
A guy who lets out a screaming scream due to the pressure that doesn’t loosen no matter how hard he tries.
“Her…”
When I look at that, I burst into laughter.
As a rule of thumb, the grade of the guy strengthened by Rage-13 is B or higher.
A being with skills above the average in the hunter industry was tied up with just a few words.
“Words and spirits…”
The will contained in one word resonated with the surrounding magic power and realized its meaning.
It is truly a power worthy of being called a commanding spirit.
But even this is only part of it.
It is not just the will contained in the words.
Even small hand gestures, foot gestures, and eye gestures.
A world where anything can manifest if the will is clearly expressed.
That is my interpretation of the ruler’s domain.
When I realized this, a helpless burst of laughter escaped my pursed lips.
“Huh… , Haha! Uhehe, uhhh… !”
A laugh spouting out of pure joy without any intention whatsoever.
I guard against this sensation by letting out a laugh that would make others call me crazy.
“Ah… “No, no, no.”
Emotions I have never felt before come flooding back to me like a flood.
A sense of omnipotence that I can do anything I want.
The satisfaction of becoming a special being different from other humans.
To put it a little exaggeratedly, it feels like I have become a ‘god.’
A being who can make everyone bow their heads with a single gesture.
“You never know.”
Although it may not be such a being, it may be infinitely close to it.
But all of this is ultimately just an illusion.
Uncontrollable emotions eat away at my lifespan.
Haven’t you seen countless times a guy who gets so puffed up that he gets stronger and then runs away?
That’s why we have to be even more cool-headed in times like this.
At first glance, the domain of the ruler is an ability that seems capable of accomplishing anything except the domain of creation, which involves creating something that did not exist before.
But I need to know.
No matter how infinite the ability, the person who uses it is only a human.
“There are definitely limits. “It’s urgent to find out.”
Even if we have surpassed human limitations, we have only taken the first step.
And this trait is given only to those who have overcome their limits.
In short, I am still far from being able to fully handle this ability.
In the end, the most efficient use is to clearly understand the given limitations and expand your meaning within them…
“You’re here.”
It appears just in time.
Someone who can clearly understand where my limits are.
Doo doo doo doo-!
It is rushing towards this place across the black market, shaking the earth without mercy.
Hee hee-!
With a loud roar that would make even tigers and lions bow their heads.
A huge horse stops, raising its front paw menacingly.
Bright red skin and a mane that gives the illusion of sparkles fluttering every time it blows in the wind.
The horse’s name is Jeoktoma (赤免馬).
It is said that Lu Bu rode in the past, saying that he could run a thousand miles in a day and still have stamina.
Injung Yeopo (人中呂布) Majungjeokto (馬中赤兎).
The protagonist of the phrase that among people, Lu Bu is the best, and among horses, Jeokto is the best.
“Ah, but not him.”
Of course, that’s just a story from the past.
The horse in front of you is only a red horse in name, and has no connection whatsoever with the real red horse.
His real name is Red Horn.
It’s not a divine beast like a unicorn, but it’s someone who can pierce spiritual creatures.
It is a horse-shaped monster with blood-red skin, a flame-like mane, and a red horn on its forehead, with a cruel disposition to trample and kill an unqualified person with its hooves the moment they try to climb on its back.
There is only one person in the world who has succeeded in taming that arrogant horse.
“… “You.”
Follicle.
The tip of the spear and eyes of the guy riding on the huge horse are turned towards me.
“Give your name.”
It was a very special question asked only to a very small number of people whose value he recognized.
