Chapter 191 – 191. Power of the Colossi
191. Colossus Power
“There he is.”
As a result of wandering around a little more, I was able to find stone monkeys in another cave. I went inside the cave like before and spied on what the stone monkeys were doing.
‘They are also in training.’
These guys, like the guys I saw earlier, were sparring with each other and competing for sum. Contrary to the frivolous cries of jokes, these guys practiced seriously.
No, why are these bastards so sincere?
He is too sincere for a guy who has a habit of mocking and harassing the weak. Feeling offended, I appeared in front of the monkey guys.
“Ukki?”
“Rooky!!”
The guys whose nest was invaded screamed in anger. Giant stone monkeys up to 3m were fired at me like cannonballs.
Quaang!!
I took out my sword and countered their attacks. My body was pushed backwards. Surely there is no heavenly light, so it’s a bit difficult to receive it?
‘There are too many of them.’
The number of stones in the cave was 4. I disposed of all but one that I would use as a punching bag.
“Ukki?!”
The heavenly light rages and cuts their throats. They tried to resist with weapons, but it was meaningless in front of A-class skills.
Dolsungi lost his comrades in an instant and was left alone. The stone dog left alone screamed and stabbed me with a spear.
Caang!
I put magical power on my sword and deflected its attack. Mana and mana collide to create an intense puncture.
“What? Are you using some magic?”
My arms trembled slightly. It seems that his mana has been transmitted to the inside of my body.
“Ukki!”
He retrieves the spear and closes the distance. And a flying knee kick. I stepped back to avoid the knee kick and knocked out the additional flying spear with my sword.
Kagaga River!
Like a snake, a huge stone spear relentlessly aimed at my neck. If you get stabbed in the neck with something like that, it’s not just that the neck will be pierced, but the entire head will be smashed.
Of course, I won’t die if I use a defense skill like hardening…
‘It must be fucking painful?’
There was no reason to be right. I slashed his spear with my sword and stepped back. Now is the time to test your authority.
There are a total of 3 powers of the colossus I robbed: power of the colossus, battle fervor, and colossus. I activated the giant’s power first.
[Power: Colossus Power
– You can activate the power of the giant.]
Wow!
I feel overwhelming power in my body. As if he had become a god, violent power runs through his entire body. In his current state, he felt as if he could crush the stone man with a single finger.
But there was one problem. At the same time as my physical abilities greatly increased, I felt my mana draining away rapidly.
“Ugh…”
I couldn’t hold it properly for even one second, and the power of the giant disappeared. The recoil of the sudden loss of mana made my vision blurry and my body staggered.
The dolsong guy didn’t miss that gap. The dolsong guy aimed at my head with a spear. I hurriedly squeezed my magic and activated the celestial light, and I managed to block his attack.
‘I almost got fucked, fuck.’
I felt a cold sweat run down my spine. If the activation was a little delayed, the head might have been blown off. When I came in, I even wrote a consent form, but I almost got killed.
“This bitch.”
My whole body went cold and I felt like I was getting better. It seemed that the authority test should be conducted in a safe place.
I straightened up and concentrated my mana again. Fortunately, it didn’t lead to magical exhaustion, so I was able to collect it to some extent.
“Ukki?”
“Don’t search, dude.”
Fuck!
I used the celestial light to pierce his head. A stone that easily collapses in front of the power of an A-class skill. I quickly grabbed the magic stone and sat down on the floor.
“There’s even a crib bed.”
I took a break and looked at the Dolsungi’s house. There was everything on the bed made of stone, on the chair, on the table. It seems that there is such a thing as civilization.
These are the guys whose civilization is arrogant with the theme of monkeys.
“Whoa.”
After recovering my mana appropriately, I went outside. My body trembled a little, probably because I almost turned around. His tense mind did not relax even after the battle was over. I hung my neck and soothed the afterglow.
He planned to test the rest of his powers while sparring with Mari. I never dreamed that I would consume this much magic. The risk was too great to be tested in practice.
‘The only thing left to do is to succeed.’
If I mess around with complacency and fall behind, only I will lose. I vowed never to do anything risky like a jerk from now on.
I went back to the hotel and headed to the training room in the basement of the hotel.
“What, did you come down because you wanted to train?”
As befits a place called the sacred place of training, all the hotels in the base camp had dedicated training rooms. Inside the training room, people including Mari and Eunbyeol were training hard.
I quickly glanced around. There were a few girls, but not such a pretty bitch. Still, since they were guys working in the hunter or hero industry, they had a good body.
When Marie saw me come down, she asked curiously. After being so bothered, the expression asked what kind of wind blew and came down.
“I have a little experiment to do. Can you give me some sparring?”
“Of course. Coincidentally, Eunbyul’s education is over, so I’ll take care of you for a bit. Eunbyeol, practice what you learned.”
“Yes.”
Eunbyul nodded her head and ran away. I guess it’s good to be far away from me.
I decided to punish my master for that arrogant attitude later, and decided to test my authority on Marie.
“Please defend me once. I have something to experiment with.”
“Experiment? What?”
“There is such a thing. You might get hurt, so you have to defend yourself with all your might?”
“Power? Is that enough?”
Marie giggled. She opened her little mouth and spoke to me.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do, but if I’m going to draw my power, I can’t do it here. It collapses.”
“Is it so? Then it will be difficult.”
“You can go out and do it. There is also an outdoor area.”
We came out to the playground once. Marie stretches herself in the crisp night air.
“So what are you going to do? You’re asking for my full power?”
“A power test. Please tell me how old you are.”
“Ha, you’re going to use me as a punching bag, right now?”
Marie stomped on my foot with her mischievous face. I pretended to be sick and stepped back.
“Well, okay. Do you think you’ll get scolded if there’s nothing special instead?”
Then he nodded her head. At the same time, the magical energy around Marie shuddered violently, and a huge golden greatsword fell through the air.
“Oh oh…”
She picked up Ascalon, a great sword wrapped in golden flames, and stood in front of me. An intense magic wave spread in all directions, and the people who felt the violent energy gathered and began to watch the two of us.
“What is that person, isn’t that Marie Kim?”
“What is going on in Jeju Island?”
Some of the dogs recognized Marie. She must have been a celebrity in her own right.
“There are too many eyes.”
“I can’t help it. This is not a private room.”
Although there was a separate room, it was a bit unreasonable to demonstrate the power of an A-class hunter.
This place was always attached to a hotel, not a real training room. It would be unreasonable for a C-B class, but it would be unreasonable for an A-class to use it.
“Then shall we begin?”
Marie holding the Ascalon and taking a defensive stance. I attacked her first without using any of her powers.
Kaaang!
“Oh…”
Marie and my sword collide. The moment my sword collided with the dragon slash, a strong anti-elastic force rose up the sword and wrapped around my body.
The sword I was holding flew high into the sky. I instinctively missed the sword.
I groaned and was thrown backwards. Even though I was the one who attacked, it felt like my grip was being ripped apart.
Marie’s magical energy that came through her arm stirred my body. Bounced backwards, I lost my balance and stumbled.
“Hey, what is it? He shouted loudly, but is it only this much?”
“Don’t play around.”
“Sometimes you ask me to defend with all my strength.”
Marie pouted her mouth and teased me. I don’t think I’m afraid of what will happen to me later in bed.
“Can’t you make the reaction not come?”
“I just need to control her magical power.”
As she did her sparring, moderately relaxed. I grabbed her sword again and attacked her a few times.
Caang! Kagagak!
Just like I dealt with Dolsungi earlier, I quickly swung my sword and fired a sword strike. Marie moved her body around and hit my attack with the Ascalon.
“How is it?”
After sharing the sum lightly, I asked how it was. Marie replied that it was nothing.
‘I’ll have to use the giant’s power properly first.’
Slowly, I decided to experiment with the Authority.
First of all, I decided to use the power of the giant that I had written earlier and almost ruined. I entrusted myself to the realm of instinct and activated the power of the giant.
‘Huh, I guess I know roughly how it feels.’
Just like before, I feel a tremendous force wrap around my body. All physical abilities increase dozens or hundreds of times. Indeed, the power of God dwells in my body.
However, I intentionally suppressed this power. It was because he knew that if he left it as it was, he would run out of magic in less than a second. Maybe it’s because I’ve experienced it once, so I was able to control it easily.
Oh oh…
Suppressing the consumption of mana naturally weakens the effect of the power. Moderately, I lowered the performance of the authority enough to maintain it during battle.
‘About 20%?’
I couldn’t feel the power like a god like before suppressing it, but I could get the feeling that my body was energized. Feels like about 20% stronger. I tried to attack Marie once again in this state.
Jjoong!
“Hehe, how are you?”
“What, you seem a bit strong? What did you do?”
“I will explain later.”
Marie opens her eyes wide. She felt that my physical abilities had risen by leaps and bounds.
Marie wonders what happened. After saying that I would roughly explain it later, I activated another authority.
[Power: Battle Enthusiasm
– If you enter battle, you will fall into an awakening state. The longer the battle lasts, the stronger your mental strength, and your physical abilities and resilience increase.]
The moment the authority was activated, the sight was stained red. With the feeling of time slowing down, Marie’s every movement begins to feel vivid.
Amplification of the senses.
But the state of awakening did not last long. Just like the time before when he couldn’t control the power of the giant, his magical energy was drained in an instant and his authority was canceled.
Thud.
“Ugh…”
“What, what? Are you okay?
“It’s nothing.”
At the same time as the mana escaped, I lost control of the power that ran through my body. The energy accumulated in my body spreads out on its own, knocking me down.
Marie was startled when I suddenly collapsed and supported me. I reassured her by gently licking her armpit. It tasted a bit salty, probably because I was sweating.
“Ugh, voila.”
“Eh… Seeing you do this, you look fine.”
I took a break in Marie’s arms for a while. After calming down, I continued to practice controlling the authority with Marie.
