The battle against Berserker was quite intense.
I didnt understand why hes being so stubborn.
Even so, he ended up defeated in front of .
Ugh.
The guy groaned, his left shoulder twisted, and his right arm bent in a bizarre direction. Despite the legs appearing intact, projectiles had hit him several tis, reducing the bones to complete powder.
Its not like I had a hobby of tornting others. His resistance was just that fierce.
Faster, stronger, and tougher than before.
Berserker, pretending otherwise, was diligently training. The movent of muscles, the skill in utilizing Force, and the readiness directed towards revealed his peak condition.
Especially in this recent duel. He had been putting in all his effort to face . Every move was optimized to counter my attacks.
Several tis, quite dangerous attacks were launched. I could tell he must have enjoyed biting, tearing, and chewing a ntal image of while he was training.
It seed like he really wanted to kill .
Quite a persistent guy.
Well, despite that, he was a bit challenging for . Ironically, after suppressing him several tis, handling him beca sowhat easier.
Could the words comfortable and challenging coexist? It was ambiguous, but that was my feeling about facing Berserker.
I kicked Berserkers shoulder lightly.
Hey, stop exaggerating and get up.
Urgh! Kekeke! Is this the end for ?
He said, gasping for breath.
To an observer, it might seem like hes about to die soon.
And saying lines like this made look like a villain.
Its not the end. You wont die.
Im not afraid of death, but now that its ending like this, it feels pathetic. There are more advanced devices waiting for
He kept talking about various electronic devices I couldnt understand.
I wondered how soone roaming the outskirts of the city was more tech-savvy than .
Its not that I didnt care for the stuff; this guy was just strange.
More importantly, arent you listening to ?
Kill .
At this point, it seed like hes doing this on purpose, right?
If he wouldnt listen, I had to make him listen.
I put my foot on his broken shoulder and leaned in.
Listen a bit.
Kraaah!
The screams from the guy began to subside. Seeing the strength leaving his eyes, it seed he was ready to listen.
What did I do wrong to you, exactly?
I think its a sin to possess such a tempting treasure.
A villain who died in my hands not long ago said that line.
Am I the villain?
Kraah! Please, just kill !
Stepping on his shoulder again, his struggles intensified.
The Complete Immunity is honestly amazing, isnt it? You got it with my help. So, Ill take my share.
Hehe. What a fresh, crazy idea.
Regardless of how you feel, you dont have a choice. I plan to take the Complete Immunity with . And theres a misconception you have; I have no intention of killing you.
Really?
Yeah.
Berserkers eyes widened.
Thats why he should have been more cautious. The mont he saw , he rushed in with a scream, resulting in ending up in such a situation.
I sprinkled a recovery potion on his body and said, To copy the Gift, I dont necessarily have to crush the heart. I just need the blood from the heart.
Well, then
But, theres a problem.
I could see the hope in his face, but there was one serious problem.
I had never done it before.
Ive never taken a gift without killing. So its going to take a few tries to copy your Gift without killing you.
You, you wouldnt
Cooperate a bit. I wont kill you. Trust in your vitality. I believe in it. Fighting!
Maybe?
With a face tinted blue, Berserker shouted.
Id rather you kill !
But I wasnt really trying to kill him, though?
* * *
I had three thods prepared to copy the Gift without killing Berserker.
And just now, two of them ended up in failure.
It seems this isnt it either.
Kuh!
I wiped the blood off my hands, and Berserker spat out blood.
Hey, are you alive? Can you hold on?
Just kill .
Stop being dramatic. Take a break for a mont.
At first, I used tools. I tried using a syringe, but the problem was that the Gift information didnt register as the blood reached my hand through the needle due to contamination.
Too bad. If this thod had worked, it would have been easy to identify various Gifts.
It seed that I had to directly sar the blood on my hand for the Gift information to register. I tried pulling out the syringe to catch the splatter of blood, but that, too, was a failure.
The next thod was to directly take the blood from a place slightly away from the heart. Information about Complete Immunity began to register, but it wasnt perfect.
In the end, it ant that I had to get the blood closest to the heart in my hands.
The ways of the world are not easy, indeed.
Five minutes passed.
I looked at Berserker, who had sowhat recovered, and said,
Lets finish this in one go.
Its okay, you wont die. Just trust my hands, okay?
Just kill .
Even after saying what I said, theres no sign of trust. Sigh, the pain of two mistakes must be really hard to bear.
Still, I couldnt just kill him.
Berserker was a useful companion for . Hes handy to call upon when needed. He could help with leveling up Jung Da-hyun, and when I want to quietly handle things on the outskirts, hes a very reliable option.
So, try not to die, Berserker!
Are you worried? Dont be too distressed about it.
This was sincere.
Even if I needed the Complete Immunity, theres no need to kill the guy.
I just had to get the blood that was absolutely necessary. Its the first attempt, but I was confident would pull it off.
Stay still.
My hands dug into the Berserkers chest. I dug into his muscles like they were tofu and wrapped my hand around his heart. The beating resembled the desperate flailing of a fish, and I felt my hand stain with his blood. He was screaming at to kill him, but his heart was still beating. Hes alive and well. This should be enough.
I carefully withdrew my hand from his chest.
Blood spurted from the pierced chest. I opened three bottles of recovery potion and poured them all at once. I was spending a hundred million like this for this worrying guy.
Kkuu!
Listening to the sound of the Berserker recovering, I shifted my gaze to my hand.
I hope it succeeds this ti.
Surely, Blood Absorption didnt require the death of the opponent to be completed, right?
I consud the blood on my hands. The information of Complete Immunity recorded in the blood started to be interpreted. This thod was correct. Complete Immunity was copied and engraved into as a fitting Gift. Without adding anything new, I deleted the existing gift, Force Fusion.
In that spot, Complete Immunity replaced it, and a sharp headache attacked. Like being prodded in the head with a needle, a series of pains followed, but I endured it.
Furrowing my brow, I carefully felt the form of Complete Immunity being engraved on my head. The Gift was successfully copied. Everything seed fine. After several attempts, the legendary Gift had finally co into my hands.
Good.
It was a Gift I couldnt obtain even when I was the Blood Master. Even if the Blood Master was in front of now, I could tear him apart.
For a mont, reveling in triumph, I turned my gaze to the fallen Berserker.
Are you alive? Youre alive.
His pierced chest had been skillfully sutured, and he was breathing evenly. He was one tough individual, though his expression contorted in pain with each breath.
Its all over. Thanks for the Gift.
Just kill .
Hey, youre alive, you know?
Kill .
Well, this is sothing.
I said I was not going to kill him.
But looking at the fallen Berserker, it felt a bit pitiful.
Still, he was a villain notorious enough to make even the governnt tremble.
Did I go too far?
* * *
It took a while for Berserker to co to his senses. I did ss with his heart a bit, but there seed to be no serious damage. This was a good way to obtain a Gift without killing.
I hadnt intended to kill him from the start.
I intended to test how strong he had beco and then just copy the Gift without causing harm.
Of course, it wasnt entirely free.
I had prepared a gift in return for taking the legendary Gift.
I handed him a dagger while touching the wound on his chest.
Whats this?
A dagger made from the bone of Nuri.
What?
Its a culmination of the abilities of the Sacred Group. Perhaps among the existing blades, it belongs to the toughest category?
The guy did use a great sword, but since the amount needed to make one was overwhelming, I gave him a self-defense dagger. Its a fantastic cost-saving asure.
Even if its just a dagger, it could beco a weapon of slaughter.
Did you really think Id co all the way to Yeosu to get a Gift for free?
This guy didnt seem to agree.
It seed like he expected that I would just take the Gift. Sohow, he gave off the vibe of not being able to trust others.
Lately, it feels like there were a lot of people who just didnt believe what I say.
Anyway, I had achieved my goal here and decided to bid farewell to the Berserker and head back.
Please go. Go quickly.
He seed to like that idea a bit too much.
Anyway, use it well. And youve beco quite strong. But it wont work on .
Not now. Not ever.
Finished with my business there, I headed back to Seoul.
* * *
After returning to Seoul, I went straight ho. I would change my clothes and have a al, then I planned to check on Complete Immunity.
When I opened the door and entered, I saw Yoon-hee, who seed to have beco one with the sofa.
Was this guy really training hard in Gift cultivation?
Hows the Gift training going?
? Im working hard. Wait! Dont co any closer!
Whats wrong?
Yoon-hee, who had suddenly stood up, regarded with narrowed eyes, on guard.
The way youre looking at is not pleasant. Were you thinking about how to make things harder for ?
No.
What a ghost.
Despite my denial, Yoon-hee jumped in surprise.
I work really hard every day, you know? Im practically giving off a burnt sll from how hard Im working! So, dont even think about training more. Ive already been advised about the lack of rest. They say I need proper managent! And
Yoon-hee stopped talking, and her eyes suddenly beca sharp.
I told you not to tell Mom about my fangirling, didnt I?
Did you get in trouble?
I seriously considered bringing a knife while training. Do you have any idea how furious she was? Huh?
Seems like youre in quite a ss.
Yes, yes, thanks to so internal whistleblower. I got seriously ssed up. Do you want to say it out loud and get even angrier?
I took a step back as she fumbled around, looking for sothing to hold in her hands.
If shes going to do it, shes really going to do it.
Unable to find anything suitable, she sighed deeply and sat on the sofa.
By the way, I heard the director of the National Security Agency will beco the head of the newly established National Front Defense Agency this ti? Did he say anything to you?
No, he didnt.
Really? Theres a hearing tomorrow.
Hes good at handling things on his own. I can comfortably watch from the sidelines.
Well, with my brother around, it would be chaotic. Everyone would run away, right?
How do you see ?
All muscles and no brain?
Considering how well she teased others, it seed like I could train her even harder.
When Yoon-hees eyes t mine, she shivered and turned her head to fix her gaze on the TV.
Its getting harder to find a gap.
Deciding to seize the opportunity soon and contribute to Yoon-hees Gift developnt, I went into the room, changed clothes, and prepared a al.
I heard about the issue with Jung Ju-ho from Lee Se-hee, but it should pass without much trouble. There were no personal flaws, and our relationship was quite smooth.
Jung Ju-hos integrity, having never committed any misconduct during his long career as a public servant, was at the highest level.
Should I go too?
I thought about it, but since Jung Ju-ho didnt have any special requests, I decided to trust and observe.
Just as I was about to send a brief ssage of support and leave, she said.
By the way, didnt Oppa say youre going to Tokyo soon?
Yeah, why?
Theres a guy nad Guillermo in xico; if you see him, make him into a clay pot!
Why?
He publicly accused Oppa of lying about hunting Nuri alone.
Its possible that he really thinks that way.
If they keep quiet, its fine, but if they start trouble, just kill them! Why do weak people like them cause a fuss?
Got it.
If they co looking for a place to die, just kill them.
I made my way to the National Security Agency and entered the private training room.
Having acquired Complete Immunity, I planned to unlock the Gift.
The gift is nad Complete Immunity because it treated all the strange phenona in the world, both on the surface and behind the scenes, as poison and releases them.
It was first discovered in China, hence the na. In the West, it ca to be known as the Power of the Sun, as it was considered similar to the ring and abilities possessed by Lancelot.
In an era overflowing with all kinds of Gifts and monsters, it was a necessary Gift to repel any abnormal conditions.
The only drawback was that it could only be applied to oneself.
Shall we give it a try?
I activated the Complete Immunity.
The unlocked Gift swiftly passed through my body. It felt as if a cool breeze was gently drying my damp body, leaving it pleasantly smooth. This refreshing wind begab to scan the presence or absence of any poison within .
At first, it was the physical body. Finding nothing unusual, it moved on to the Force. There was also nothing abnormal with the Force.
The last area Complete Immunity reached was the realm of the mind.
Here, I was confident. Since I returned to the past while regaining my sanity, there should be no problems, and this would pass through smoothly
Tick! Tick! Tidik!
However, an unusual current began to erge.
The energy of Complete Immunity, which had been vigorously fluctuating, began to rush towards my ntal barrier.
I couldnt hide my confusion.
What was this? Was there sothing wrong with my mind?
Clearly, the personality of the Blood Master had disappeared, and I regained normal thinking.
I was living in a society without any discomfort.
But why?
As if proving why Complete Immunity was called a legendary Gift, it forcibly pierced through my sturdy ntal barrier, and a strand of sothing invaded my mind.
Then, strange emotions washed over .
Affection towards family.
rcy towards the weak.
Love towards reason.
rcy towards enemies.
Justice towards the world.
Why did these useless thoughts co up?
Complete Immunity might not be all-powerful, it seed.
I strengthened my ntal barrier to block the currents of Complete Immunity trying to penetrate. As a result, the fragnted emotions that had co to mind quickly dissipated.
A bizarre situation unfolded where my own Gift was blocking the flow of Complete Immunity. To understand the current situation, I pondered.
Could it be that the consciousness of the Blood Master still lingered?
Complete Immunity wouldnt judge my sane mind as abnormal.
Yes, because it was normal.
I used my Force to counter the flow of Complete Immunity.
Even until the mont of disappearance, Complete Immunity tried to penetrate my ntal barrier. It was as if it was proclaiming that sothing was wrong with my mind.
Treating the owner of the Gift as soone not in their right mind?
Recently, the Gifts have been acting a bit scatterbrained.
I began educating Complete Immunity that its owner was normal.
