After I started climbing Mt. Eunwol in earnest. Sehun Lee showed a truly overwhelming battle.

Paang-!

Whenever a five-color flower is pulled out of the waist, most of the monsters who rushed without fear fall to the floor with their breaths cut off.

Occasionally, the quick-witted guys threw themselves away and survived, but that didn’t change much.

Whoops!

He threw away the five-color flower he was holding in his hand and immediately stopped breathing.

Quick!

He pulled out the hwajeok candle that was attached to his waist and smashed his head.

Scratch!

He died without a moment to resist the successive attacks, such as cutting the white light flow around the blade of his hand.

No matter where you look, you can’t see today’s first performance. However, the person in question, Se-Hoon Lee, had a dissatisfied expression on his face.

‘Ttt… … It’s harder to control the power than I thought.’

Cutting the heart was useless, cutting off the spine, and moving two steps in a situation where even one step would have been enough.

In a way, it was a minor mistake that had no major effect on the battle, but Lee Se-hun checked all those things and corrected them right away.

‘It’s not even fun, but if the efficiency goes down, you can’t eat it.’

Sehun Lee, a blacksmith to the bone, did not enjoy honing his strength through battle like ordinary heroes.

I don’t have enough time to hit iron with a hammer, so how could I like to fight with my own life at risk of getting injured?

But, like everything in life, I couldn’t help but make my own solution, and that was the ‘optimization’ of the battle.

‘With the current physical abilities and equipment, the cost required for one Ginrang is 5. However, the average cost used so far is about 5.7… … It should be reduced a little more.’

power and stamina. And, taking into account all conditions, such as the ability of the equipment, it defeats the monster with the optimal movement.

An idea that is too dry to regard battle as a ‘work’ alone.

Sehun Lee had no idea about this, but the reaction of the other heroes was very cold.

‘There is no root.’

‘Play just as it looks.’

‘older brother. Just hit me with a hammer.’

The three dogs who taught me this and that, as well as the heroes who fight quite a bit, saw their fighting methods and poured criticism beyond harsh criticism.

Although he was a little angry, Lee Se-hoon did not complain much about it, because he also went around cursing the blacksmiths who made weapons based only on efficiency.

‘Still, there were yangbans who took good care of me.’

One was Ma Kwang-soo, who comforted him, perhaps because of the cost of the trauma. And another one.

rumbling-

Ryu Eun-ha, who was constantly making a throbbing sound from behind.

“… … .”

Ryu Eun-ha, who was silently watching Se-hun Lee’s battle, heard the sound of his own ship and immediately took out a red dagger from the subspace pocket and bit it.

Pakang! Quad-Duck—-

The blade of a dagger that breaks like a chocolate bar and melts in your mouth.

The fire elemental magic contained inside and the sharpness of the well-forged blade penetrated the body from the tip of the tongue.

A clean taste like high-grade mugu. It was enough for a mouthful, and it would have left you somewhat hungry under normal circumstances.

Crackle-!

Today, instead of protesting, my stomach started crying louder.

“Ugh… … .”

Instead of feeling full after eating or eating, Ryu Eun-ha frowned slightly at the growing hunger that was getting worse.

A completely different reaction than usual. Until recently, I couldn’t figure out why, but now I feel like I know what happened.

‘Is it because of Sehun Lee’s cadet… … .’

A fighting method that actively utilizes the abilities of the weapon.

At first, I thought it was just great, but with repeated battles, Ryu Eun-ha gradually realized the fear of Lee Se-hun’s fighting techniques.

Whoops!

A five-color flower painting that escapes from the hwajeokcho and embroiders five colors of flames.

Others might think that it was only used to strengthen and wield hwajeokcho, but in Ryu Eunha’s eyes, all the delicate uses were visible.

‘Five kinds of flames contained in the Five Saekhwado. Utilizing their respective properties, the power of slashing is being strengthened.’

Five flames in balance. Sehun Lee increased the proportion of ‘green’ among them, and as a result, the flames were sprayed like the wind, increasing the speed of the slash.

‘Properties of flames that are so weak that they cannot be displayed in the information window. Amplifying it with firewood and using it… … .’

It was possible thanks to a deep understanding of the weapon and an excellent sense to handle it.

Thanks to that, Hwajeokcho and Five ColorsHwado showed more than 100% power, and Ryu Eunha was curious about the added ‘taste’.

gulp-

A situation where expert advice was added to food that would be delicious to eat.

To put it simply, the situation showed the overwhelming choice of frying the sweet and sour pork to those who were thinking about pouring or dipping the sauce!

For Ryu Eun-ha, who was still paying attention to hwajeokcho and the five colors, the battle in front of him was almost torture.

Knuckle!

It was a situation in which the hunger could not go away even after eating.

‘This is the first time this has happened… … .’

I’ve never felt this way even when I saw people who treated armaments as if they were a part of me, but what kind of difference is that?

When Ryu Eun-ha is chewing on a new weapon to calm her stomach with doubts.

Lee Se-hoon, who kicked the last remaining Eun-rang’s head, took a rough breath.

“Whew… … Whoo… … .”

A total of 94 silverfish caught in 20 minutes. Except for the moving time, the stamina began to drop gradually because they fought non-stop.

‘I can still catch about 80 more, but… … It would be better to preserve it from now on.’

The purpose of coming to Mt. Eunwol today is to be Jurgen Kruger’s item. To be precise, find the dungeon where it is hidden and then attack it.

Even if I hand over all the battles to Ryu Eun-ha, I had to stock up on a minimum of stamina as I don’t know what kind of variables will happen.

After making the decision, Se-hun Lee looked at Ryu Eun-ha, who was eating a double-edged ax from behind.

“The head of the department.”

“… … .”

“The head of the department?”

quack- quack-

Ryu Eun-ha continues to chew the double-edged ax without answering.

Sehun Lee, who was puzzled by the appearance, noticed that her two eyes were pointing towards the hwajeokcho and the five colors of flowers, and smiled.

‘It looks like you want to eat for a while.’

Now, wouldn’t it be possible to sell it at a much higher price like the cup noodles sold at the top of the mountain? With that thought in mind, Se-Hoon Lee put the five-color flower diagram in the hwajeokcho.

“Oh, hmm. I was listening. Please tell me.”

“I want to rest for a while, is it okay?”

“You can do whatever you feel comfortable with. I can take you back to the terminal if you want. What would you do?”

“I will just rest here. Because this is an experience.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who looked around for Lee Se-hoon’s answer, confirmed that there was no problem and nodded.

“It would be fine here. Then do it.”

With Ryu Eun-ha’s permission, Se-hun Lee went to the seat he had been waiting for, sat down on the ground, and leaned his back against the rock.

Duck-

Then the Shadow Matter Armor moved like a wave and readjusted its shape, and all the stinging sensations I felt on my hips and back disappeared.

Shadow Matter Armor that changes not only with the body, but also with the surrounding circumstances. Sehun Lee made an interesting expression on that performance.

‘this guy… … I mean, it’s better than I thought.’

The technology that created the armor was inferior, but the main material, Shadow Matter itself, is a good product with great versatility, so its performance alone is considerable.

Wearing more like skin than armor. Sehun Lee was satisfied with the effect, but felt a bit disappointed.

‘If only this could be used properly, the cost could have been lowered to 4, no, even 3.’

However, Shadow Matter Armor is a protective device to prevent injuries to the last. Even if it was actively used in battle, it would never leave a good evaluation due to Ryu’s personality.

‘Besides, if you use that method, it might break.’

No matter how much Ryu Eun-ha breaks something she doesn’t like, she may not lend it to her later.

When Sehun Lee is looking around the Shadow Matter Armor, deciding to return it after using it in moderation.

“Lee Se-hoon cadet.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who was sitting a little further away, opened her mouth.

“I want to ask you one thing, are you okay?”

“Oh, yes. You tell me.”

“In battle, we often see movements with a long experience. Can you tell me who taught you how to fight like that?”

Curiosity and anticipation. And Ryu Eun-ha’s question with some doubts. Lee Se-hoon was a little stingy at the content.

‘Did you show too much?’

I didn’t use any special technique, so I thought it wouldn’t matter if I showed it, but it seems that that kind of thing stimulated my curiosity more.

However, since this was an expected question after the return, Sehun Lee brought out the excuse he had prepared without much expression.

“I didn’t learn it from anyone, and it’s just a trick I came up with because I was living alone.”

“tips?”

“Yes. How can I move my body efficiently? I kept thinking about it and moving, so it moved naturally in battle.”

At Lee Se-hoon’s calm answer, Ryu Eun-ha made an even more puzzled expression.

“What the hell kind of life did you lead so that you had that much skill set in your body?”

They fully understand their surroundings and their own condition and move efficiently.

Although it may seem simple in words, it was by no means an easy task in terms of being conscious and adjusting all actions.

But is all of this a life that is taken for granted? The moment when a little doubt was about to bloom in Ryu Eun-ha.

“I had no money.”

Sehun Lee continued the story calmly.

“My parents’ legacy was used up to make the workshop, and the monthly support fee is also used to pay for the rehearsals, so there is almost nothing left. So I changed my mind.”

“think… … ?”

“Yes. No matter what happens, I wonder if I should just ‘maintain’ my body.”

Meals are nutritious and cost-effective rather than taste, and clothes are not bought unless there is a problem with heating and cooling.

Even with such mechanical parts, life was the way of life that Sehun Lee had been doing for several years before he came to Babel.

“Even if this sounds easy, it is quite difficult to find the boundary line. If you don’t eat too much, your stamina will drop, and if you eat too much, you will have stamina, but there are not enough ingredients.”

“… … .”

“So it’s important to find the right midpoint, but at first I couldn’t figure it out, so I often collapsed from exhaustion. In the winter of the first year, I almost died… … .”

In terms of time, it was only a short time ago, but for Lee Se-hoon, who returned 31 years ago, it was a distant past.

However, even if I recalled the memories a little bit, the memories came back to me, because every day was clear as it was a time when I was frantic about capturing and killing my parents’ enemies.

‘It was a time when I was really working hard on this and that.’

Days when there was no time to rest, both mentally and physically. At that time, every day was difficult, but now only the feeling that such a thing happened remains.

There will be things like that as time goes by, and there will be things because of achieving the goal of revenge.

‘Even demons should be like that… … .’

That time when Lee Se-hoon was deeply immersed in various thoughts.

I suddenly realized that there was no answer and looked to the side.

“… … .”

Ryu Eun-ha is staring at her without saying a word. Lee Se-hoon wanted to miss the eyes that looked quite complicated in his head.

‘Did I say that I omitted it too much.’

It was a little difficult, but just saying that would not be enough persuasiveness. Therefore, Sehun Lee unleashed the know-how of the past while the memory came to mind.

“You know the E-class monster hornfig, right? This guy’s meat tastes like raw rubber pickled in food waste, but it’s very nutritious. It was cheap, so I ate it as a staple food, but it was painful to eat, so I saved my stamina and used it.”

“There was one time when I was pulling out a bucket of molten iron with tongs I bought used, and it broke and I spilled it on my feet. Then I almost had three toes, and then I saved less money on the gear.”

“There was a time when I injured my shoulder, but I didn’t have the money at the time, so I just hammered with the other arm. But two weeks later, I was so sick that I went to the hospital and they said it would have been completely broken even if it was a little late… … After that, I definitely checked my condition.”

That time when Sehun Lee, who had a lot of fun talking about it, was excitedly talking about things from the past.

“It’s done.”

Ryu Eun-ha, with a firm expression on her face, cut off Lee Se-hoon’s words.

“If there were such things… … I’m sure I can understand the battle method you just had.”

Using his own life as fuel, he pushed his talent to the limit, so in a way, it was a natural result. The harsh days that I couldn’t understand when looking at the documents.

After hearing the story, Ryu Eun-ha looked at Lee Se-hoon with a little pity.

“But you’re still not living that way, are you?”

“Not now. If you live like that, your physical abilities will not grow.”

Ryu Eun-ha’s expression, which had been slightly rigid at Lee Se-hoon’s answer, was relieved.

“Instead, for now, we are moving towards maximizing the growth of muscles and magic circuits without necrosis… … .”

“Lee Se-hoon cadet.”

Ryu Eun-ha, approaching right in front of her, wrapped her arms around her shoulders with a serious expression.

“I know you want to grow quickly, but you shouldn’t overdo it. Do you understand?”

“Yes? What… … While watching… … .”

“Do you understand?”

It looks like he will never finish it until he gets the answer he wants. Sehun Lee nodded his head countless times because he had seen him often before returning.

“All right.”

“Is that true?”

“Sure. Do not worry.”

Of course, I don’t think so, but in this case, it’s more efficient to just say I’ll do it and pass it on.

‘Besides, it’s not too much of a stretch.’

It’s not like you have to be conscious of moving each of the five internal organs, you don’t have to move your whole body because the nervous system is twisted, and you don’t cut and reattach the magic circuit every day, so what’s the problem?

Ryu Eun-ha sighed as if she realized Lee Se-hoon’s inner intentions.

“It is still the beginning of the semester, but there will be many opportunities for the cadets in the future. And cadet Sehun Lee is the head of the Department of Borsippa, so even more… … .”

At that time, Ryu Eun-ha was talking about the benefits that a department head can receive. Sehun Lee’s eyes, which had been listening through one ear, moved over his shoulder.

“… … uh.”

A faint light pouring over the dark ridge. Seeing this, Sehun Lee looked straight up at the sky.

The moon appeared through the thick clouds. At the sight that seemed to be covered again at any moment, Lee Se-hoon looked straight at Ryu Eun-ha.

“Chairman! Please hold me and jump high!”

“Yes?”

“It is urgent. hurry!”

At the sudden prompt, Ryu Eun-ha was puzzled, but quickly raised the bloody blood, and then hugged Lee Se-hoon and kicked the floor.

Tuo-!

The view changed in an instant with the tremendous wind that slapped his face. At the scenery of Mount Eunwol that stretched out to the horizon, Sehun Lee quickly looked around.

‘I said that the dungeon with Jurgen Kruger’s items absorbs the moonlight magic.’

The Class A heroes discovered before the return discovered the phenomenon by chance, and after three weeks of investigation, they succeeded in discovering the dungeon.

It was also because it was impossible to search without the moon, and because the flow of magic was so secret that it was difficult to find traces.

The heroes bragged about this story that they wouldn’t have found it so soon without them.

‘That’s the story when you find it below.’

Polluted air that flows like the wind over ridges. Sehun Lee, who was observing the naturally formed flow of magic, soon found a place that was moving differently from his ‘calculation’.

A mountain peak that looks nothing special from the outside. However, under the vacant lot in the middle of the hill, the magic slowly permeates naturally.

Sehun Lee, who saw the figure, pointed to it without hesitation.

“there!”

“… … Is that?”

Like an S-class hero, Ryu Eun-ha realizes that it’s scary to point out a location. In response, Sehun Lee immediately shouted before she could think of anything else.

“It may be gone soon! You have to break it down and get in!”

It’s not such a complicated structure, but it would be difficult if Ryu Eun-ha left this place because it was dangerous.

At Lee Se-hun’s urgent cry, Ryu Eun-ha quickly grasped the situation and then moved quickly.

Paang-!

As soon as it kicks the air, the body shoots towards the entrance of the dungeon.

Falling, leaving a red afterimage, was like a meteor, and the distance that was several tens of kilometers away became closer in the blink of an eye.

And the moment when Ryu Eun-ha’s body was about to collide with the ground.

Whoo-

Ryu Eun-ha’s left foot, which stretched out while spinning half a turn in the air, smashed the ground.

Aaan-!!

Soaring soil and crumbling rock walls.

Instead of being bounced off, the two of them were sure of the body that began to fall again.

They say they have entered a hidden dungeon.
