Episode 78 – Unapproachable Irregular
“Huh…?”
Seeing Seo-joon’s fine appearance, Draugh made an expression that he could never do this.
Of course, there was no way that Draug, who was only a ghost, had an expression on his face, but somehow Seo-jun felt that way.
Looking at the draugr, Seo-joon kicked the ground.
Draug expanded his mind with red eyes glowing.
───────!!!
Then, a feast of madness, thicker than before, began to burst forth.
Black hatred encroached on Seo-joon as if it were stretching.
A cold chill that makes you feel as if your consciousness will fly away.
-Honestly… you’re nothing if you don’t have a transcendent academy, right?
I hear the draugr’s whisper.
Actually, it wasn’t the real draugr whispering.
Seo-joon’s thoughts engulfed in Draug’s thoughts.
And those were the seeds of doubt and anxiety Seo-jun had been harboring.
Draug’s thoughts were slowly germinating those seeds.
The mind becomes dizzy, consciousness flashes, and intense pain ensues.
but.
[I hope you don’t entangle yourself with deep, dark imaginations.]
[A coincidence is a fate after all. Fate eventually leads to fate.]
[Your coincidence eventually leads to destiny.]
<Shakyamuni Lecture Progress 21.9% (+1.4%)>
With the voice of Shakyamuni heard again, the raging heart calmed down.
Seo-joon did not stop his steps toward Draugr.
“Huh?!”
Then, the draugr made an expression of disbelief, then poured out his thoughts again.
───────!!!
Draugr and Seojun whispered.
– After all, it’s a product of chance. It was all a coincidence that you became a student at the Transcendent Academy. In a word, you have won nothing yourself, have you?
Shakyamuni says:
[Where can there be things that are not coincidences in this universe?]
[Your existence is a product of chance. However, the sadness of those who did not get a coincidence in their lives certainly exists.]
[Those who are hurt and sad by coincidence. It is a tragedy of chance.]
[But if you are saddened by the tragedy of chance, you should also be able to smile at the good fortune of chance.]
[The depth of sadness that existence has. It is the same as the depth of happiness that existence has.]
[You have to be able to smile without an inch of lies. I can fully understand the sadness of one.]
[The mind is like a single candle. As long as it burns, it will eventually wear out.]
[Don’t turn a blind eye to the luck of coincidence that comes from being trapped in the tragedy of coincidence.]
[As the mountains, water, and land are, after all, aren’t you also a child of the universe?]
[You deserve to be there. Even if you don’t feel it.]
<Shakyamuni Lecture Progress 24.4% (+2.5%)>
Turbuck, Seo-joon’s footsteps are getting closer.
──────────!!!
Draugr and Seojun whispered again.
-You deserve to smile at that coincidence? So can you say that you made an effort worthy of that coincidence? Can you say that you’ve been living so intensely?
-Do you think you deserve to enjoy those values now because you worked harder than anyone else and because you were desperate?
Shakyamuni says:
[What does the little monk look like you are looking at?]
[I would probably say that he has mastered everything. patience and anguish. Middle school students who remember the small monk will recall the great images of the small monk and say so.]
[However, in fact, the small monk does not consist only of such great moments that the world remembers.]
In his lectures, Shakyamuni would often bring up stories from his human days.
A story about writing a sermon and trying to write it again because food was spread, but forgot the previous content.
A story about what to eat for lunch with the disciples.
A story about always sharing sweets with fellow passengers, but wanting to eat them at least once.
Human figures that are completely different from what we think of Shakyamuni.
Shakyamuni would often bring up such a story in his lectures.
[In those moments, we accept and learn something.]
[The great moment the world remembers is nothing more than giving away something that was accepted at the time.]
[However, if you do not accept it, there is nothing to give, and if there is nothing inherent in it, there is nothing to share.]
[These quiet moments between inhaling and exhaling. It is what makes us who we really are and gives us the strength we need in critical moments.]
[Do you think the small monk would have been here if he had lived as intensely as the moments the world remembers?]
<Shakyamuni Lecture Progress 27.5% (+3.1%)>
Tadak, Seojun kicked the ground.
“Ouch…!”
Although Seo-jun approached right in front of him, he did not avoid Draugh.
Draugh is a ghost monster with no substance.
Do you believe in your own characteristics?
──────────!!!
Draugh poured out more intense thoughts at Seo-jun.
All the nerves in my body tremble as if I had been electrocuted.
The approaching fear threatens death.
However, Seo-jun’s heart did not even flinch.
Endless thoughts whispered, but the seeds of anxiety and doubt in Seo-jun’s heart had already withered.
I am not shaken by any thoughts.
It can be said to be immovable.
<Shakyamuni’s lecture progress rate 31.7% (+4.2%)>
Kwadeuk!
Seojun grabbed Longinus’s spear to break it.
Spaaaaaaaa!
Along with the raging power of mana, Longinus’s spear began to contain the power of the Aura Blade.
If the aura sword is the materialization of mana, then the power of the aura blade is what materializes beyond the materialization.
That power, which even professional hunters cannot easily produce, was materialized into a vivid blue energy.
Longinus’s spear trembled, begging him to release it right now.
However, Seojun did not let go of Longinus’s spear.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Once again, tremendous power erupted from Seo-joon.
The overwhelming power that rushes around Seo-joon, divine power.
The infinite power, whose end could not even be measured, began to be poured into Longinus’ spear again as if it did not know its end.
Kugu Palace…!
The air around it began to tremble as the power of the divine power dwelled in Longinus’ spear.
“G-G-G-G-G-G-!!”
Draugr then realized something was wrong.
Then, Draug tried to avoid the seat by raising his body like smoke.
But the time is already too late.
As if chasing after such a draugr, Seojun muttered while holding out the spear of Longinus.
“You were the best instructor.”
The spear of Longinus shoots.
and.
Pooh-wook!
With the piercing heart of the draug.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
A huge explosion erupted.
#
<Pu-wook!>
The sound of the Draug’s heart being pierced echoed through the screen in the scout’s waiting room.
<Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
The screen of the electronic display board caused noise with the ensuing explosion.
And soon after, the electric signboard that picks up and goes out.
“…”
“…”
There was a wonderful silence in the scout’s waiting room.
No one was able to speak up.
Everyone just stared blankly at the display board with their mouths open.
After a long time, I heard someone’s murmur.
“Oh, how many times…”
But even that didn’t make it right.
Do you have nothing to say or are you speechless?
Maybe it’s both, people thought.
No one could explain the scene reflected on the screen.
I couldn’t understand.
Draug was a 10-star spirit-type monster.
To be honest, not a single scout here could withstand the draug’s mental attacks.
Even though it was a monster embodied in sorcery, it was still at the 9-star level.
But where is the 9-star dog name?
From 9 stars, it goes beyond A-class hunters and starts to span S-class hunters.
And the S-class hunters were those who were called the pinnacle of professional hunters.
A state of dream that everyone aspires to, but can never reach.
So, the best thing the Dream Team could do was to hold on.
Until the dungeon’s magic core was broken, it was to hold out so that the mind would not be eroded.
never. no one
I didn’t even think that I would be able to withstand the draugr’s mental attack.
If that was possible, why did Youngseong have to deal with the 8 Draug dungeons created in Korea?
That’s why I didn’t even consider the possibility of dealing with Draugr.
However, the unfolding results overturned all expectations.
“No, that’s ridiculous…”
“How on earth do you get a draug…”
Above all, the draug was a ghost-type monster that could not be killed.
To be precise, it was a monster that could never be killed by ordinary means.
However, Seojun Kim took care of the draugr with a single blow.
No, can the last one seen really be a blow?
Even though it was just looking through the screen, the feeling of intimidation was beyond imagination.
“…”
“…”
In the waiting room of the scouts, there was nothing but staggering silence.
And such an atmosphere was not limited to the scout waiting room.
A waiting room for students.
“Oh, my God…”
“How could this happen…”
The faces of the students watching Seo-jun there were tinged with astonishment.
Each of them was looking at the electric signboard that had turned off, making the most surprised expressions in the world.
Among them, there was no one who could follow the reaction of Hunter Mill, Ale, and Gaon.
And among them, there was no one who reacted as fiercely as Gaon’s Siwoo Jeong.
“Uh, uh, uh…how…?”
Jung Si-woo couldn’t believe the situation in front of him, the reality.
Jeong Si-woo knew all too well the danger of the Draug.
So when I was told that draugs were implemented due to overloading.
To be honest, I thought Jung Si-woo would die there.
It was because until then, Jeong Si-woo believed that Kim Seo-joon had committed some kind of cheating.
However, the appearance of Kim Seo-joon that he actually saw shattered Si-woo Jeong’s thoughts.
It is an unbelievable sight even when you see it with your own eyes.
‘Bo, I can’t see…’
Looking at Seo-jun, Jeong Si-woo felt as if he was facing an unattainable sky.
In fact, it was not the first time that Jung Si-woo had felt this kind of emotion.
I felt it once when I met Lee Ha-yoon in an exchange match between Hunter Mill, Ale, and Gaon.
Lee Ha-yoon, who is said to be the greatest talent in the history of pro hunters.
She showed that there is another sky for Jung Si-woo, who is called a genius even at Gaon Academy, where geniuses gather.
This feeling now is just like back then…
‘No, no. This···’
Jeong Si-woo shook his head resolutely.
The feeling now is incomparable to then.
To be honest, Siwoo Jeong may have been frustrated with Lee Ha-yoon, but he wasn’t despairing.
His talent was also outstanding, so he thought that he could catch up with him if he just worked hard to lose weight.
I thought that at least Lee Ha-yoon’s toes could go crazy.
But not Kim Seo-joon.
The strength that Kim Seo-joon showed when he dealt with the Draug at the end.
The overwhelming power and the fear felt beyond the screen.
‘Beomjeop… I can’t…’
An unapproachable irregular.
Jung Si-woo couldn’t even imagine himself following Kim Seo-joon’s toes.
#
“Aww…!”
Seo-joon could not come to his senses from the exhaustion that weighed down his body.
The common expression that he did not have the strength to even lift a finger seemed to be referring to Seo-jun’s current state.
A side effect of using divine power in an incomplete state.
So, his body cried out for him to collapse at any moment, but Seo-joon persevered, using Longinus’s spearhead as a support.
“Still… I didn’t faint…”
Originally, Seo-joon should have lost consciousness at the same time as the use of divine power.
Of course, if I had to faint, I could have fainted right now.
However, if he could hold on, he could still hold on, so Seo-joon had no choice but to question this situation.
“Could it be… is it because of the progress of Shakyamuni’s lecture?”
And the conclusion that Seo-joon came to was this.
There were two reasons for that.
The first of these was because this was the only thing that had changed significantly from then.
<Shakyamuni Lecture Progress 31.7%>
The progress rate, which used to be 17.5%, has now reached 31.7%.
The progress rate rose by 14.2%.
Considering that the increase in the last 90 days during the free pass period was 17.5%, it made no sense.
And that number was obtained when the seeds of anxiety and doubt Seo-joon had been harboring were removed.
“He was the best instructor in many ways…”
Second in that sense.
Hercules defined divine power as ‘the true power that springs from the muscles of the soul.’ it was said
At the time, I thought it was a simple metaphor, but looking at Seo-joon’s condition now, it didn’t seem like a simple metaphor.
“Sakyamuni lectures are not SSS grade for nothing.”
Seojun repeated the title of Shakyamuni’s lecture.
[Physical is a piece of paper the moment the mental collapses. (Instructor: Shakyamuni)]
At first I thought it was just a drip, but…
Now, more than anyone else, it was Seo-joon who sympathized with that statement.
“Heo-euk…! My, am I now…?”
“Uh, huh?”
At that moment, the voices of Min-yul and Soo-yeon came to Seo-joon’s ears.
Apparently, his mind returned properly after the draugr was dealt with.
Seojun turned his head with difficulty and said.
“Everyone… are you okay?”
Then Minyul and Suyeon looked at Seojun at the same time.
“Large, captain?”
“brother···? My brother is fine…”
After confirming Seo-jun’s condition, Soo-yeon opened her eyes wide and continued.
“Couldn’t it be that my older brother handled the draugr by himself?”
In response to Suyeon’s question, Seojun just nodded slightly.
Min-yul and Soo-yeon then looked at each other in disbelief.
Then, he looked at Seo-joon as if asking him to explain what had happened.
“Let’s go out at once.”
However, Seojun shook his head.
Min-yul and Soo-yeon have just escaped from the Draug’s mental attack.
It may look fine on the outside, but it probably isn’t in perfect condition.
In addition, the organizers had to ask why Draugh was implemented instead of Revenant.
And in fact above all…
Stumble.
Seo-joon also needed a break.
So Seo-joon took Min-yul and Soo-yeon out of the dungeon.
Fortunately, there was no hindrance to walking, so I was able to get out of the dungeon without too much trouble.
Whoops.
As I pushed myself through the gate to the outside, my vision reversed and I began to see the landscape of reality.
And right at that moment.
“excuse me!”
“It’s out!”
Suddenly, a shout like a shout erupted from one side.
Wanting something, I turned my head and saw a large group of people rushing towards Seo-joon.
And in an instant, he started to surround Seo-joon.
Each of them held out their business cards and shouted at Seo-jun.
“Hunter Kim Seo-joon… No, student! If you come to our Baekho Guild…”
“We’ll do anything you want! In our Libero Guild…”
“Our ruble will be given to you if you ask for a master’s seat! Please lead us!”
A sudden unexpected situation.
“……What is this again?”
Seojun muttered involuntarily.
