Yeon-woo thought he was seeing things.
There was no way Kahn was here. The guy who said would wait for the next ti with Doyle.
He hadnt even heard that a new tutorial had opened. So he thought it was just soone similar to him, but..
[Cain! Cain, right?]
The guy who was shouting his na happily was definitely Kahn.
[Hm? Whats this? Its soone the youngest knew?]
[Hehehe. Then isnt that good? We can use him more.]
Other voices from those who had been watching the two chuckled.
He didnt know what they were talking about, but it didnt matter. Yeon-woos attention was focused on Kahn.
[Youre really Cain! Hey! How did you get here! Dang. Whats this. You look better now.]
Kahn spun around Yeon-woo and burst out in laughter.
Yeon-woo slightly narrowed his eyes. Seeing his flippant attitude, it was definitely Kahn. He still drove people crazy.
He wondered how he should speak to him.
Open speaking. It seed like there was a way of speaking beyond your consciousness, and it probably wouldnt be that hard if he learned how to do it.
The action of releasing your senses outside. It was similar to releasing your mind, so releasing your consciousness probably wouldnt be that hard either.
Yeon-woo focused his senses on Kahn, and tried to make his thoughts tangible so they could be sent.
Kahn felt what Yeon-woo was doing and told him to take it easy.
[Hey. From what I can tell, its probably only been a while since you learned about the base of your consciousness. So its hard to..]
[Is this how you do it?]bender
[..do it, but you did it. I guess. Since you were always like this.]
Kahn had a speechless expression seeing Yeon-woo use Open Speaking.
[You have learned the way to deliver your thoughts by focusing your consciousness. The skill Open Speaking is being created.]
[Open Speaking]
Proficiency: 0.0%
Summary: Focusing your consciousness can deliver your thoughts to people you want. Depending on the proficiency, there are various thods to use this.
Yeon-woo slid the ssage down and looked at Kahn.
Hair that was as ssed up as his shoes. Clothes that looked like diapers. A dull sword.
He looked filthy because of all the ti he had spent in this mountain, but there was still a certain sharpness to him.
It was different from how he was in the tutorial. Back then, he wasnt able to control himself, but now, he knew how to freely cover himself.
[Its been a while.]
Kahn hugged Yeon-woo with a welcoming face.
[I know right! Whew. I thought we would see each other again. But I didnt know it would be this sudden, bro.]
Bro. The word that he said when he was bored. It was definitely Kahn.
[I saw you got pretty famous during this ti. You used to create sses in the tutorial. Hm? And now youre doing it here. Hehe.]
Chatter chatter. He still spoke a lot.
Yeon-woo aid his senses again in case he lost his focus. He still needed so more ti to get used to Open Speaking.
lightsvl m [But what are you doing here? And wheres Doyle?]
[Thats..]
Kahn was beginning to explain with a strange expression.
[Hm. Youngest. Arent you going to introduce him?]
It was a ticklish high-pitched voice. It seed to be a cute woman.
But Kahn grimaced like it was disgusting and lifted his head.
[Granny. If youre gonna try sothing to this kid I advise..ack!]
Kahn was cut off and scread at the lightning that suddenly ca from the sky.
The lightning continued for so ti.
Grrr, boom!
[S, Stop! I said stop!]
[Hohoho. If you say useless things again, Ill rip your mouth off. Understood?]
[..yes, sir!]
Kahn straightened his back and shouted in a loud voice.
Yeon-woo widened his eyes seeing what happened. Even with his Extrasensory Perception, it was sudden. It definitely wasnt sothing to be taken lightly.
Rune magic.
The language of the gods, rune, was tricky to handle. There werent a lot of people in the Tower who could use it this neatly.
[Anyway, bring him here.]
Kahn pointely looked at Yeon-woo. As if begging him to follow him.
Yeon-woo subconsciously grinned. The guy was the sa.
***
After his Extrasensory Perception was opened, he wouldnt have any trouble walking around, so he was able to quickly follow after Kahn.
He wouldnt have normally just followed him like that. But he was curious about the Sadhu who lived in the fifth mountain.
Anyhow. This guy, he got a lot stronger.
Yeon-woo had just one thought looking at Kahns back. How?
From Yeon-woos perspective, what Kahn accomplished so far was unbelievable.
His well gathered strength was sharp. It was like it was in his sheath right now, but when it was pulled out, it would cause a storm. Completely fitting of his nickna, Blood Sword.
It was incomparable to what he did in the tutorial. It was a good thing.
Since Kahn was ambitious like him.
But unlike him, who had the advantage of Dragon Body, Kahn had nothing like that.
But if he had still gotten this far. That ant he worked that much more.
Kahn wasnt stronger than Yeon-woo. But he would definitely be worthwhile to spar with. No, he even thought that Kahn might be dangerous.
He had wanted to beat Phante and Edora that bad.
He had passed the tutorial without him knowing, and he had probably continued to train while climbing the Tower.
And he had arrived at the 20th floor faster because Yeon-woo had his hands tied with the 11th floor.
But like he hadnt completely isolated himself from the outside, he seed to know what Yeon-woo had done outside.
[Hey. But how did you get this strength? I cant read anything. Did you eat a dragon sowhere or sothing?]
Like Yeon-woo was looking at Kahn with interested eyes, Kahn was looking Yeon-woo up and down like he was an interesting animal.
He also looked like he was sick of sothing.
[Hehe. I know that feeling all too well.]
Shanon snickered. He wasnt in the Black Bracelet, but hidden in a shadow. All because he was curious about the Sadhu.
Yeon-woo told Shanon to stop saying useless things and spoke to Kahn.
[I beca half a dragon.] [TN: In Korean, becoming a dragon is equivalent to the rags to riches idiom in English.]
[its not funny. Sheesh, you still dont know how to tell jokes.]
Kahn shook his head, not knowing Yeon-woo was actually telling the truth.
In the anti, they reached the peak.
There were people at the top like they had been waiting for Yeon-woo.
Two people stepped out to greet him. Including Kahn, there were 3, so half of the people Yeon-woo had felt were here.
[Hm. A mask?]
[Hoho. But your outfits pretty normal. Are you here to train?]
It was a woman with white hair all the way down to her feet. Overall, her body was extrely curvy, and her large chest added to her seductiveness. Even though his senses were closed, she was still sexy.
Magic flowed around her. rune magic. The lightning that had fallen on Kahn was definitely from this magician.
On the other side, there was a short small child. His smiling face was cute.
But Yeon-woo paused while running.
He was one of the two high rankers that Yeon-woo felt when he opened his Extrasensory Perception.
The child looked like a brat, but there was sothing fierce inside him. It was like a beast.
If he was to compare him with the Martial King, it was like the Martial King was the king of the jungle, but the boy was a beast who road the forest alone, looking for prey.
No, just considering the aura coming from him, he could be compared to a demon.
Demonic energy.
The energy that demons were said to use. If his smiling face disappeared, it was clear the demonic energy would suddenly pop out.
Sacred Red Tree Victoria and Pestilence Ghost Kindred.
Yeon-woo realized who they were imdiately with the information in the diary.
Victoria was a magician well-versed in rune magic.
rune magic, called the language of the gods, was tricky to use.
You had to use set words, so if you made a mistake, the consequences could be deadly.
However, if you learned it, you could use it in many ways.
Most artifacts or buffers used runes. And what would happen if you could control them freely?
You would be able to do more things than normal magicians. That was Victorias case.
She was well-known, but her brother had never really t her, and it was interesting to see her here.
Kindred, on the other hand, was different.
The clan that serves a naless demon, Devil Army. Theyre organized under 9 bishops.
The way each of them served their devil god was different.
Kindred is the 2nd bishop, not well-known to the public, and hes been looking for sothing on the 20th floor for a long ti. From what my friend from the Devil Army said, it has sothing to do with a holy object. But thats just his assumption, in reality, no one really knows.
However, theres one thing thats for sure. Kindred has no plans to leave the 20th floor until he finds it.
Even when we passed through the floor and fought a war with the Devil Army, he never showed himself. I was only able to find out about his identity by coincidence.
But hes still here. Its probably been over 10 years. Whats he searching for so hard?
Yeon-woos mind was completely on Kindred. But he didnt show it. It was a secret that he was a bishop of the Devil Army, and if he sensed sothing strange, his plans could be ruined.
So Yeon-woo tried not to look at Kindred as much as possible.
[Nice to et you, handso oppa.]
Fortunately, Victoria stepped up actively. She winked at Yeon-woo. Even though she couldnt see, it was natural like she could see perfectly in front of her.
A faint minty scent wafted over in the wind. It was a scent that wouldve made most ns hearts skip a beat.
But Kahn grimaced like he didnt like it.
[What do you an hes good looking, hes wearing a mask! And do you even know the difference in age between you and..ow!]
Kahn rolled down the hill after being hit with a ball of fire.
[Hoho. I like everything about you except for your mouth. Understood?]
Victoria smiled revealing her canines. The remnants of the rune around her dissipated.
Yeon-woos eyes sparkled again seeing that.
This ti as well, he hadnt been able to feel the magic activate. The mont the rune disappeared, it beca magic and beat up Kahn.
Does she prepare her rune in advance and use it when she needs it?
Yeon-woo looked at the bracelet wrapped around Victorias right arm. There were small rune letters packed on it.
When she summoned the ball of fire, she touched her bracelet with her finger. Then, a letter on the bracelet disappeared and activated magic.
It seed to be an artifact that magicians used to prepare magic in advance.
Yes. Victorias known to be as skilled in making artifacts as much as she uses rune magic.
From what he heard, Victoria was one of the top 5 magicians along with Henova.
She uses morize to store them, and uses it when she needs it. Sounds okay for to use as well.
Everyti he fought, he felt that fighting shouldnt be focused on using skills or physical strength.
Often, he felt the need for magic. It was a waste to use Magic Circuit just for his Mugong as well.
However, he was busy enough already focusing on his Mugong, and didnt even think about touching magic.
But if he stored it beforehand, it looked like it would be a big help to Mugong too.
I needed to study about chanical magic too. And whether it be the Philosophers Stone of the pocket watch, I need more knowledge to fix them.
So he thought he would be able to learn sothing if he observed her.
[Ung. Handso oppa. I like that youre curwious, but Im embawessed it you keep on looking at like that.]
[..!]
Yeon-woo stepped back in shock when Victoria suddenly appeared right in front of his nose.
Victoria was smiling seductively where Yeon-woo had been standing. She winked again.
Yeon-woo felt shivers down his back.
She read .
He had focused his consciousness to see the rune magic, but she noticed it.
Well, considering her leve, it was probably weirder if she didnt notice it.
But what made him shiver more was the fact that she approached him without him realizing it.
Another rune was disappearing next to her. Blink. It was magic that allowed you to teleport short distances.
Even with his Extrasensory Perception open, she avoided it. Magic was scary in this aspect. You couldnt predict it.
There was only one way to prevent it. It was getting rid of the magician quickly.
But seeing Victoria, it probably wasnt going to be easy. The energy around her was probably defense chanisms she set up.
The problem was that other than Kahn, he was the weakest person out of the 5 Sadhu.
This was a cave of beasts.
There was only one thing that was good about it.
Since this was where beasts stayed, it was that much better of a place to train. Yeon-woo was planning on training his Yin Sword here.
But before that, he had to make a good impression on the tenants here before him. A word of two that they said to him could be a big help.
[Im sorry. It was my first ti seeing rune magic.]
Victoria lightly laughed.
[Hng. If thats the case. But still, be careful in the future. Everyone here is really selfish, so theyre sensitive about others observing them. But I guess youre interested in rune magic?]
[Yes. A little.]
[Then should I teach you?]
His eyes widened because he didnt expect her to say it so easily.
What was she planning? Yeon-woo knew there werent any free things in the world. He was suspicious of her.
Like she read his thoughts, she grinned as if telling him not to worry.
[Of course, not for free. Theres just one condition.]
[What is it?]
[I cant really say it here.]
Victorias eyes sparkled. She looked like a snake looking at her prey.
[Do you want to eat so ran at my house and talk about so things?] [TN: Inviting soone to eat ran at your house is the equivalent of asking soone to Netflix and chill.]
