Chapter 154 – Twisted Fate (3)
“Uh, uh, uh, uh, how… what?”
Uiseong couldn’t even utter words properly at the scene unfolding in front of his eyes.
It was because of the appearance of Seo-joon collecting the inner hem.
From the outside, there was nothing unusual about it.
It was nothing more than just inserting a collection tool and harvesting the inner hem.
The problem was that there was no problem.
“This, what is this…”
In the first place, it didn’t matter if it was an object that had an inner secret.
It was enough to just retake the visible inner hem.
But normal monsters were not like that.
Because the energy of the inner altar he harbors is so faint, it is likely to dissipate if he makes a mistake.
Therefore, the work of collecting the inner hem was very difficult.
No, it could be said to be messy beyond demanding.
Identify the blood and air veins of the object.
Recognize the structure of the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and circulatory system.
You must clearly recognize the path through which mana flows and the organs where mana is condensed.
I had to calculate all of that and put the collection instrument in the most optimal position.
It was only when it was done without a single error like that that it was possible to collect the inner edge, albeit weakly.
Even the slightest deviation would only blow away the energy of the internal team that had struggled.
That’s why, even onomatopoeia, it was the collection of inner dan.
However, Seo-joon was all about plugging it in.
Woo woo woo woo.
It was even coming out better than Uiseong did!
In other words, it meant that Seo-jun’s extraction process was more accurate than Uiseong’s calculations.
“Why does this… come out so little?”
Even so, I was spitting out such a sound.
Uiseong felt dizzy.
‘Hmm… is it going well?’
It seemed that way, seeing as there was nothing else to say.
At that moment, Uiseong pointed to another corpse with a trembling hand and said,
“Everything, try something else!”
Then he handed over his collection tools.
Seo-joon, in a confused state, focused his mind once again.
Chiron’s extra sense.
Merlin’s insight.
The power of Jecheondaeseong.
In addition, 10 years of experience in working with monster corpses.
Poo-wook.
Woo woo woo woo.
“Oh… this is coming out well. Maybe it’s because I like tools.”
Unlike before, the gathering process was clearly visible.
I also thought it was tempo.
If you think about it, wasn’t everything that made Jecheon Daeseong difficult?
It was a lie to say that craftsmen do not choose tools.
‘And this is all elixir…’
Seo-joon was so excited that he collected all the inner hems of the heaps of demugades.
How concise and precise the process was, the speed and onomatopoeia could not keep up with the collection process.
“I, what the hell have I been doing all this time…”
Uiseong’s Ooi eventually ascended to heaven.
Just like that, the collection of inner hemp by Demugades was over in no time.
Seo-joon collected the inner hem of the last demugade and said to Uiseong.
“Uiseong-nim. Not only Demugade, but other monsters can also collect inner hems in this way?”
It was only then that Uiseong suddenly came to his senses and answered.
“It is. All living beings have all the powers of the inner circle. Introspection is…”
Then a lengthy explanation followed.
Of course, I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I could understand the context.
It was an insightful conclusion to be exact, but anyway.
In the end, monsters were also able to collect the inner hem in this way.
However, centipede-type monsters such as Demugade, as well as turtles, carp, and snakes.
It is said that the power of the inner circle is better condensed for monsters that are often described as spiritual creatures.
“okay···”
Seojun nodded slowly.
And at the same time, his eyes lit up.
The icing on the cake if you combine the dissection of the monster carcass with the harvesting of the inner edges!
‘An unexpected reward?’
Seo-joon couldn’t hold back the laughter that kept coming out.
Then, Seo-joon handed over the collected inner sheath to Uiseong.
Then, a thought suddenly came to my mind and I asked Uiseong.
“Uiseong-nim. By any chance, the rest of the inner altars after Maseong-nim’s treatment. Can I take some and use it?”
Then, Uiseong nodded his head willingly and said.
“Yes. To be honest, you took care of it and you collected the inner sheaves, but I don’t need my permission for anything.”
Then, Uiseong pointed to the body of Demugade, which had Nae-dan, and continued.
“More than anything else, the devil is in that place, so just one is enough, so take it to your heart’s content.”
“thank you!”
Seo-joon clenched his fists and showed them.
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Uiseong continued to speak.
“If you want, I can teach you how to make an elixir. In fact, it can be said that manufacturing is the key to elixir rather than collecting the inner end. Depending on the level of the manufacturer, the efficacy varies wildly.”
It was a story that others would be shocked to hear.
Who is Uiseong?
He was a person who rose to the ranks of the heroes of the cataclysm at the medical level.
Of course, it was true that his invincibility was considerably inferior to that of other heroes.
Even so, there was no other reason why Uiseong was able to become a hero of the cataclysm.
It was because his medical level far exceeded that of heroes.
However, such a uiseong-Eun directly tells you how to make elixir directly?
It was an unconventional proposal that no one in this world would refuse.
in that sense.
“no. That’s fine.”
Seo-joon was not from this world.
“So if you learn from me, what did you just say?”
Uiseong was speechless for a moment at the momentary blanking of his mind.
In fact, this was also the first time Uiseong had made such a proposal.
Nevertheless, there were various reasons for making this proposal to Seo-jun.
The biggest reason among them was the judgment that if it was Seo-joon, he would be able to follow in his footsteps.
An innate ability to extract the inner end with a simple concept, leaving aside everything else.
Just looking at this, he was a young man with the potential to surpass himself.
however.
“Making elixirs is fine. I want to try it myself.”
Seojun shook his head as if he was really okay.
Are you politely refusing?
Uiseong carefully observed Seo-jun’s face.
But really nothing.
No interest!
Uiseong’s eyes began to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.
“Sir, do you really know how to make an elixir?”
“no. Not yet.”
“yet···?”
Leaving Uiseong behind, Seo-joon took out his smartphone.
Then, he logged on to the Transcendent Academy and searched for lectures.
“I did not allow you to die. (Instructor: Hwata)』
Hwata.
He is one of the Three Gods of Jian’an, and a legendary doctor called Shin’s Doctor.
And not only Hwa-ta’s medicine, but Hwa-ta’s elixir-making lectures were also at the transcendent academy.
『The ultimate in refinement techniques. The core of immortality is immortality. (Instructor: Hwata)』
<If you complete this lecture, you will learn the ‘Panning Technique [S]’.>
‘I didn’t expect to take a production class lecture, but…’
As Uiseong said, the efficacy of elixir manufacturing varies greatly depending on the skill of the manufacturer.
And no matter how good the level of uiseong is.
Compared to Hwata, the transcendental figure, it was nothing more than new blood.
However, the problem is.
<Tuition – ￦ 100,000,000,000>
The tuition fee for the lecture was a whopping 100 billion won.
And Seojun’s current balance is 0 won.
‘······ shit.’
It seemed that Seo-joon’s existence was twisted by this damn cause and effect.
Of course, it wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about refinement techniques.
However, he shook his head at the supply of Naedan, the core of the elixir.
Naedan doesn’t always come out at the auction house, and the price was also outrageous.
It was a situation where the belly button was bigger than the stomach.
However, the story was different if I could get the inner altar in person like this.
and leaving everything else behind
The causality of the current transcendent shop was 100 billion!
‘I have to learn…’
After Seo-joon repeatedly hit the back button, he put the smartphone back into his arms.
Still, if you find Uiseong, Jung Ji-min said he would give you any reward.
Up to 100 billion… even if it’s difficult, you can make up for it to some extent.
“Where’s the money coming out…”
For some reason, Seo-joon only let out a deep sigh.
#
The sword star was at a loss for words at the scene in front of him.
There were several reasons for this, but the first one.
“No, think again. You shouldn’t rot your talent like that!”
For some reason, Uiseong was clinging to Seojun.
It looked like he was trying to make Seo-jun his disciple.
If you think about it, it was.
Same with demons,
The same goes for ignorance and spirituality.
Even now, Uiseong (medicine star).
The swordsman’s colleagues and the heroes of the cataclysm were all eager to teach Seo-jun.
“This is an insult to talent!”
What the hell is that bastard?
I couldn’t understand why the swordsman was so impatient.
Besides, it’s a more absurd situation, and that second.
“No, it’s fine.”
Seo-joon rejected all the teachings of such heroes.
To be honest, this was the most absurd thing for the swordsman.
Even if he became an S-class Hunter, there were numerous people who wanted to learn from him.
Just looking at Hunter Academy, it was like that.
It was a reality that former S-class hunters were considered prestigious even if they were only instructors.
Wasn’t that the reason Hunter Mill, Gaon, and Ale were able to become the top three academies?
However, he was not an S-class Hunter, but a cataclysmic hero.
It’s hard to say this with your own mouth, but the hero of the cataclysm was the pinnacle that a human being could reach.
“I can bring that talent to bloom. So think again.”
“Because I have no talent in medicine. It’s just… a sensation.”
“That’s what talent is!”
The sword star was at a loss for words at the scene in front of him.
Swordsman looked at the two squabbling for a while before opening his mouth.
“What are you doing?”
“That, the swordsman? Why are you here…?”
At the sudden appearance of the Sword Master, Uiseong made an expression of great embarrassment.
But that’s for a while.
Uiseong took a step towards Geomsung as if he had arrived safely.
“Sword Saint! listen to me! Well that young man…”
Geomseong had to listen to Uiseong’s complaint-like explanation of the situation for a while.
After the grumbling that is neither too short nor too long.
“So, the swordsman! I want you to say something!”
Of course, the swordsman had nothing to say.
Geomseong shook his head and looked at Seo-jun.
Seojun then shrugged his shoulders and spoke to the swordsman.
“Are you a little late than that?”
Geomseong furrowed his eyebrows at Seo-jun’s words.
And instead of answering, he looked slightly out of the way.
Behind the Sword Saint, the platinum-haired Holy Knight, Calia, was visible.
“Keuk…!”
For some reason, Calia’s behavior did not look good.
The clean and tidy atmosphere was nowhere to be found.
Her platinum hair was stained with dirt.
As Seo-jun tilted his head, the voice of the swordsman came through.
“I thought you found your onomatopoeia, so I just prepared it in advance.”
Only then did Seo-joon understand the situation.
In a word, the Sword Saint had subdued Calia in advance.
I guess that was the reason why I came late.
Seojun slightly turned his gaze to look at the sword castle.
As if to prove the traces of the last battle, there was a scruffy aspect.
Overall, however, there seemed to be no particular abnormalities.
Seeing that, Seo-joon couldn’t help but be quite surprised.
Calia is the successor to the Apostle of Purity, and her level was similar to that of the Cataclysm hero.
But what I see now…
This could only be explained by the fact that the Sword Saint overpowered Calia.
‘Is the swordsman a swordsman?’
Just like pro hunters are not all pro hunters.
It seemed that not all Cataclysm heroes were the same.
The sword star seemed to be one of the most powerful among them.
Seo-joon turned his head and said to Uiseong.
“Uiseong-nim. Will I have time?”
At Seo-jun’s words, Uiseong tilted his head.
However, he quickly realized the situation and nodded again.
“The collection of the inner hem is over quickly, so there is plenty of time. Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter as long as you don’t skip the day.”
Seo-joon slowly approached Calia.
wince
Calia shivered involuntarily.
Was it the trauma of being attacked by the Sword Saint?
Or is it because he is afraid of Seo-joon?
Calia’s eyes were clearly dead.
Seo-joon stood in front of Calia.
And without wasting time, he opened his mouth right away.
“I don’t need to explain what the situation is, right? So let’s start with a simple question. How do you cause a dungeon’s distortion?”
“·······”
Calia had no answer.
I wanted to organize my thoughts, but even after a long time, Calia did not open her mouth.
Seojun held up the spear of Longinus.
“If you kill me, the Jinrihoe will not stand still!”
Only then did Calia scream in surprise.
But Seojun didn’t care at all.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“What, what…?”
Calia’s eyes shook greatly at Seo-jun’s determined words.
Seojun pushed the spear of Longinus even further and said.
“I said it didn’t matter.”
At the seemingly cold words of Seo-joon, Calia shut her mouth tightly.
The Jinrihoe was a super-giant organization with a worldwide reach.
The size of the believers alone reaches a billion units, and power, capital, and military power.
None of the forces beyond Jinrihoe existed on earth.
That’s why even the hero of the cataclysm could not dare to touch Jinrihoe.
Even the hero of the cataclysm was nothing in front of the power of the Jinrihoe.
So what Seo-joon said is a lie.
It’s just a bluff to put pressure on yourself.
“there’s nothing we can do. When the apostle comes to visit, I have no choice but to ask the apostle directly.”
······ Is it really a bluff?
Unknowingly, Calia had this thought.
If the Sword Saint had said such a thing, Calia would have snorted.
No matter how strong he is, Jinrihoe far surpassed him.
But… Seo-joon in front of me didn’t think so at all.
Calia gritted her teeth, biting her teeth, and shouted.
“If you answer the truth, I will die!”
“Are you saying the apostles won’t stand still?”
Calia nodded.
In a word, it meant that it was the same whether he was killed by Seo-joon or killed by the apostle.
“Wouldn’t it be better not to get caught?”
“All members of the Jinrihoe are the target of attention. I can’t escape that gaze.”
The Jinrihoe was able to see all the results of the actions of the target of attention.
Even more so if he was the successor to the apostle of chastity.
Everyone in the Jinrihoe should be aware of Calia’s actions now.
but.
“You must know what kind of person I am in Jinrihoe, right?”
Only Seo Joon was an exception.
invisible variable.
Seo-joon’s involvement is not visible in the eyes of Jinrihoe.
Therefore, no matter what Calia said, the Jinrihoe could not understand.
Calia’s pupils shook for an instant.
“You choose.”
Seo-joon’s question continued.
Calia couldn’t help but think.
It’s been such a long time.
Calia opened her mouth slowly.
“It is to use the power of Beserk.”
Seo-jun stared blankly at Calia.
It was an answer I expected to some extent.
Seojun asked Kalai again.
“Can you swear by the name of the truth?”
“·······”
Calia was speechless for a moment.
However, he slowly nodded his head at the sight of Seo-joon grabbing the spear of Longinus.
“I swear by the name of the truth.”
“Please swear that you will truthfully answer every question you answer.”
Calia had to swear once again.
When the oath was over, the voice of the swordsman was heard this time.
“How was Beserk?”
Calia has been answering the question asking if she was desperate.
“Currently sealed in Greenland.”
“If you are talking about Greenland, do you mean the place where the main body of the Jinrihoe is located?”
“yes.”
“no wonder. That was the reason why the headquarters was moved from the United States.”
The swordsman frowned.
Beside him, the face of Uiseong, who opened his eyes in surprise, was reflected.
Seo-joon asked Calia again.
“How do you use Beserk’s power?”
“There is a holy relic. You can draw out the power of the sealed Beserk with that holy object.
“Then, was the seal also made with that sacred object?”
Calia paused for a moment before slowly opening her mouth.
“That… I don’t really know.”
Calia then continued with an urgent expression.
“Information about the sacred objects was only allowed to the apostles. I-I don’t know the details.”
If I had just heard it, I would have thought it was a lie.
However, as long as he swore the truth, he had to see it as true.
Seo-joon then asked Calia about the questions she had been harboring.
After asking some questions like that.
“So, in the end, what is the real purpose pursued by Jinrihoe?”
Seo-joon asked Calia directly.
Startle.
For an instant, Calia shivered.
And this time, Calia’s mouth hardly opened.
Seeing Calia like that, Seojun grabbed Longinus’s spear.
Only then did Calia’s mouth finally open.
“… maintaining the stability of the world.”
“Keep the world stable?”
As Seo-jun tilted his head, the Sword Master shouted.
“Are the current actions of the Jinrihoe maintaining the stability of the world? Are you kidding me now?”
It was the voice of a ferocious swordsman, but Calia was not intimidated.
I just kept my head down and bowed.
“The stability that Jinrihoe refers to is not that kind of stability.”
“Then what?”
Calia slowly opened her mouth to the Sword Master’s question.
“According to the law of causation…”
It was then.
Tadak!
Suddenly, Seojun jumped forward.
Then, he thrust the spear of Longinus into the air.
It was only then that Geomsung could feel something that was bothering Seojun.
Aww—————Oh!
Longinus’s spear and the intangible energy collided with Seojun, and a heavy impact sounded.
‘I felt this presence there?’
Geomsung couldn’t hide his surprise at Seo-jun’s appearance.
It was a sign that even I didn’t notice…
“Until there.”
However, that thought did not last long due to the unfamiliar voice.
The swordsman slowly turned his head in the direction the sound came from.
Uiseong also turned his head following the swordsman.
At the same time, the eyes of the sword and the onomatopoeia bulged and opened, and the body froze for an instant.
From the reaction of the two heroes, Seo-joon was able to roughly guess the identity of the two appearing beings.
Seojun said while stretching Longinus’ spear.
“I didn’t know you would come in person.”
Before long, the two beings fully revealed themselves.
The seven apostles who lead the Jinrihoe.
“Are you Seojun Kim?”
“I didn’t expect to see it like this… I didn’t see it either.”
Among them, the apostle of patience and self-control stood in front of Seo-jun’s eyes.
