Chapter 477 – Dusk and Dawn (3)
As soon as I open my eyes, I put aside the massage I see and look at the two people who are looking in this direction with worried expressions.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Student Dojin, are you okay?”
Looking outside over their shoulders.
Bright daylight.
It seemed like half a day had passed since I was adjusting my bones and muscles so loudly.
“What on earth happened?”
“Have we been attacked? My whole body was full of wounds…”
Those who pour out questions.
This is quite embarrassing.
What you mean is that you were watching the process of my body changing from the outside, right?
“Okay…, I looked like I couldn’t see it.”
In the process of researching secret arts, I have filmed the process of breaking and recovering the body.
It was really bad.
The body breaks arbitrarily and returns to its original state…
Then it suddenly bends in a direction it shouldn’t and then comes back.
It feels like it makes even the viewer suffer.
I hurriedly open my mouth to soothe the two people who were anxious.
“There was an attack last night, but that was already taken care of, so you don’t have to worry. And the body… “I think it’s just a process of gaining some enlightenment.”
Two people relieved by the word enlightenment.
Then, Shin Yu-jeong’s eyes turn cold.
“What on earth is this realization that’s so loud? If it happens twice, either the person who suffers it or the person who sees it will die.”
“Hehe…, Just a bit of a radical realization?”
A guy who smiles and laughs along.
“Whew… Okay, if it’s not a big deal, it’s fine. Since you have achieved enlightenment, it is something to celebrate. “I thought I was completely out of breath.”
Horses have bones.
It’s not a thick bone, it’s just a thin fish spine that you can chew and eat.
“Ugh, were you worried a lot?”
When I approached him with my arms wide open to comfort him, Yoo-jeong got scared and backed away.
At the same time, he squeezes my nose and gestures with his other hand to let go.
“Your body smells really bad right now!”
“Ah.”
I quickly raise my arm and smell it.
A spicy flavor that seems to clear even a clogged nose…, No, a bad smell stings my nose.
A rotten smell that seems to push even newlyweds, who are in the midst of burning love, violently away from each other.
It is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the process of going through a bone metamorphosis.
As the body is put together, all unnecessary things are thrown out of the body.
“… “I’ll wash up and come back.”
I immediately turn around, go into the bathroom, and turn on the shower.
Let’s go!
Shoot
As I thoroughly wipe my body with the powerful stream of water, I recall the message from earlier.
“It’s a sub-characteristic…”
That’s strange.
So far, I’ve done the Bone Transformation several times, but I’ve never gotten any of the lower-level traits.
Feeling puzzled, I open the status window.
[Status Window]
Name: Kim Do-jin

Age: 22
Height/Weight: 186CM / 87.9KG

[No disclosure (2022.06.09.~2025.12.31.)]
“… Oh.”
Just looking at it, a lot has changed.
I grew a little taller, and as the amount of muscle increased, my weight also slightly increased.
However, this is only incidental income.
The part you really need to pay attention to is below.
All abilities except magical power have reached 99.
“Hehe, look at this.”
Explosive growth.
A level of ability growth that can never be achieved simply by modifying an already completed body.
The answer to this question probably lies in the newly created characteristic ‘Nopolar Retardation.’
“Let’s see.”
Click on the characteristics section to check detailed information.
[No polar body]
-The ultimate body created solely by one human effort without any help.
-All abilities reach human limits.
-Body efficiency increases.
-Your senses in special situations become extremely sharp.
-Further growth depends solely on the user’s capabilities.
“That’s what you meant, Nogeukjiche.”
A body created through extreme effort.
That name makes me cry again.
The path you have walked so far has not been wrong.
I feel like I’m saying that.
“I really like the last part too.”
Subsequent growth also depended solely on my capabilities.
That means depending on what I do, I can stop here or go up further.
I understand why that explanation had to be added.
The area I have reached is a unique area that no one can and cannot reach.
Therefore, factors that I create alone have a greater impact than external factors.
While I was wiping my body while humming with a pleasant smile.
Sssssut
A strange sensation passes over my skin.
“… What is it?”
I feel a strange sensation far away from here.
Very gloomy, gloomy, dark feeling.
Malice.
A certain being is radiating extremely strong malice.
And that too to the entire world.
“I think something happened…”
It is not a level of emotion that a mere human can express.
There is something more complex and bigger than that.
I gradually feel the malicious intent spreading towards the world and gain confidence.
Something must have happened.
That is also something unusual.
That means there is a high possibility that I was also given the hint.
“… “This is not the time to relax and wash.”
After hurriedly taking a shower, Shin Yu-jeong, who was waiting in her room, handed out her smartphone.
“Hey, the situation was urgent, so I couldn’t tell you yet, but now I’m in a mess.”
“What’s the fuss?”
“A dungeon break phenomenon occurred in Gwanghwamun. And without any sign.”
“… !”
Dungeon Break.
It literally means a phenomenon in which a dungeon is destroyed and the beings inside it pour out.
The cause is overload due to the increase in the number of monsters inside the dungeon.
Normally, it would have to be an accident that occurred due to an unknown dungeon or negligent management…, That phenomenon exploded in the middle of Gwanghwamun, without any sign.
“What is the damage?”
“Not yet. “I heard there was only one boss monster that came out of the crack, and for some reason it was just growling and not moving.”
“… Boss monster?”
When I asked again, he answered.
“You know. Cerberus.”
“…”
I know it well.
The only trouble in Greece and a mythical monster.
“A monster that should be in Greece suddenly appeared in Gwanghwamun… ?”
What is it?
This uncomfortable feeling.
It was a time when I was frowning at the feeling of not being able to grasp anything.
“Anyway, that’s why the summons has been issued and there’s no fuss.”
“… Wouldn’t I have been called too?”
“Oh, right. “I didn’t hear from you, so Jian came to visit.”
“Jian?”
“Uh. She said she had come to ask me to be the president of the association, but after seeing your condition, she decided to do whatever she could to save time.”
“…”
The situation is drawn.
If a summons was issued, the old man would most likely be taking the lead.
Because they couldn’t see me, they probably started saying all kinds of things, like I wasn’t patriotic, and I was a scammer.
Then, you realize that if the story leaks out to public opinion, you’ll be in trouble, so you’re trying to stop it.
“… “I have to go.”
I immediately turn around and open the closet.
I was about to take out my suit, which had all the scars from the previous battle completely covered, and put it on and take my car keys.
Jiying-
A message arrives.
《Yoon Ji-an: I left the car waiting outside.》
“… Huh.”
She puts down the car keys she was holding in her hand and heads straight out of the building.
You can see a stylish black sedan and Yoon Jian parked there.
“Mr. Jian.”
When I put her name in her mouth, a faint smile appears on her blunt face.
“… “I’m so glad you’re safe.”
I feel it.
The hardships she went through for a short period of time, the hardships she suffered.
Just by looking at it, you would have stabbed it here and there.
I lightly tapped her on the shoulder.
“It was a lot of hard work. “It was hard, wasn’t it?”
“No, no.”
She shook her head and opened the back seat door and continued her words.
“Let’s get on for now. As the situation is situational, I will explain more details as I go.”
“Okay.”
She accepts her favor and climbs into her backseat.
She turns around and sits in the driver’s seat, starts her engine, and steps on her accelerator.
And then the explanation began.
“The current situation is not good.”
The essence of the stories that took place inside the conference hall is caught in my ears.
In the end, there was one most important point.
“I think Hunter Son Si-woo’s departure will be the biggest problem.”
National Hunter Son Si-woo’s absence.
As soon as I heard that story, confusion came into my head.
Cursed, La.
A truly appropriate reason and excuse.
The problem is that the person who made that excuse was not Son Si-woo himself, but Han Joo-hee.
“… Why?”
The fact that she used the excuse of a curse means that she knows her secret.
It is a physical condition in which output is greatly limited due to permanent damage.
“How…”
How did you know that?
Is that what he said?
Or something I’ve known for a long time…
“… No, probably not.”
That can’t be possible.
Anyway, for whatever reason, she noticed something wrong with Son Si-woo’s body.
For this purpose, I made excuses that were not excuses.
“Whoa.”
My mind constantly thinks of Han Joo-hee.
That cold woman even bowed her head and defended her husband?
When did you find out about that?
Have you even noticed that your body has changed?
A thought that is extremely engrossing.
I shake my head and try to erase them all.
Now is not the time to think about that.
Isn’t there another enemy that needs to be defeated right away?
Ask her to somehow remind herself of this.
“Uh… So, how are you structuring your offensive line?”
“I heard that it will be centered around Hunter Namgoong Hyuk. And I’m thinking of asking for support from each country…”
“Uhm, it’s support.”
That’s right.
I need to get support.
If Cerberus goes on a rampage and the Republic of Korea falls, it won’t be a problem for just one country.
“… That won’t happen, though.”
We arrived at the Blue House by running through the empty roads due to an evacuation order.
Even skipping the complicated procedures, we push through and arrive in front of the conference hall.
I heard about it.
-“… Sorry. “I lied and said I would take my time.”
-“Are you lying?”
-“Mr. Do-jin will solve this situation…”
-“Oh my.”
He told a very bold lie.
That honest woman.
When I touch her door, a gloomy atmosphere passes through my palm.
You look very sad.
What you need to do before battle is to increase the morale of your allies.
And one more thing.
To make the lies she told for me come true.
He opens the door with force and asks those who have no solution with a deep smile on his face.
“Can I do the offensive line composition?”
