Chapter 179
Jung Si-woo sighed as he looked down from the bike at the massive headquarters of the Yongseong Guild.
“I didn’t think anyone would touch my parents because of me.”
“It’s not like you were wrong. It’s just that your father himself…”
“Yeah, that’s true.”
He didn’t expect anyone to directly target him, not because of Jung Si-woo, but because of his father’s position. He had known about his father’s ability before, but he didn’t know he would be the center of the world even if the world changed. In a good or bad sense, his remarkable talent could be said to resemble a rich man.
“You have talent, but you’re just so arrogant….”
[Master, look. I don’t think there’s a lot of people around.]
Jung Si-woo looked at the guild headquarters building, realizing that Caina was right. People were working like cats and dogs, but high-ranking officials, including Lee Kang-hoo, were ghosting out. At that moment, he wondered if it was possible.
“Did you deliberately schedule a dungeon attack at this time to escape being a suspect?”
“At the same time, Oppa, they can escape your anger.”
[Maybe he went into the dungeon with Marina and Seria by faking his identity.]
It’s a story that was too likely. It was possible to hypothesize that his targets Marina and Seria, had headed for the dungeon and that they should join up differently. Of course, she didn’t think Marina and Seria could make a move on him, but…
“It’s a good thing you sent them with Seo-hee.”
“Lee Seo-hee’s ability to control is certainly exceptional.”
Soo Ah-rin grunted and agreed while Jung Si-woo smirked and lowered the bike.
“What are you going to do now?”
“It’s a shame I couldn’t break it head-on, but it’s in the past…I’m going to do this instead.”
Jung Si-woo showed two skills after clearing his throat. He put the power of the passive skill Dragon’s Dignity into his active skill, to be exact.
“Get the hell out of the building!”
Everything in the world went silent by his voice, and the world trembled. The will of a single person froze the flow of air and mana in a certain area at once. It was a presence that reached the realm of the absolute, albeit feebly!
[Hmph, my body is numb.]
As he gave off his energy openly, Caina looked at him with astonishment. When she was reborn as a Dragon Knight, both her magic and physical ability soared, and there wasn’t much difference from Jung Si-woo in accurate figures, but now he was far beyond her. When was the starting point? Of course, his ability had grown in many ways, but Caina was convinced that if two things were to be considered, it would be when his Chaos-scale awareness and full-fledged training of power began.
‘Nevertheless, the origin of the master has only just opened its eyes. Now, the ability that’s only like a small dot will quickly snowball and grow to an absurd scale. Should this be considered an honor or a fear? It bothers me that Hecto called you a compatriot…’
Did he even realize that Caina was lost in complicated thoughts? Jung Si-woo was just proud of the results he achieved.
“All right, everybody’s on the run. The dignity of the dragon is not only effective in suppressing opponents in combat, but also in reducing unnecessary combat and killing.”
“I guess so…”
It’s a dignity that made even his absolute allies tremble. Jung Si-woo’s determined and focused spirit made everyone inside the guild headquarters run away. Those whose legs were loose and collapsed were picked up and dragged out by his ghosts.
“Whoa, that’s it. There’s no one left now.”
He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming their safety. Then, Soo Ah-rin asked him anxiously.
“What are you going to do? If you’re talking to Lee Kang-hoo yourself, it could be his weakness to reveal his presence first in his absence.”
“Don’t worry.”
After reassuring Soo Ah-rin, Jung Si-woo took a small stone out of the inventory and murmured.
“I liked it when Caina’s head was the only thing…”
[I hope you don’t tell me such a scary story because I feel so weird.]
“I can’t help it because it’s in the past…Caina, back it up.”
Jung Si-woo took a posture on the bike. Soo Ah-rin looked at him with a look of wonder.
“You’re not, are you, Oppa? Tell me you’re not.”
“Get ready…”
Oh, Soo Ah-rin sighed and closed her eyes. Jung Si-woo’s ordinary stone was filled with his violent mana, turning it into the hardest and most powerful material on the earth for that fleeting moment. It would have been even more terrifying if Caina’s head had been in his hands instead of a rock!
[Throw skill has become Lv67]
“Shoot it!”
[Hmph!]
The recoil, which fired the rock with ridiculously powerful force, pushed the bike back in the air.
“Ahhh!”
“Run! It’s a meteor!”
“Wh-, what kind of magic is it…!”
But the result was even more outrageous. The stones that flooded exactly toward the top of the headquarters building, falling in a straight line from the top to the basement floor, completely collapsing the building!
[Super Strike skill became Lv66]
[Critical Bullet skill became Lv35]
The stone didn’t just break down the building. Since his previous enlightenment, Jung studied the structure of the building and how to break it down effectively. As a result, he perfectly flattened the pillars and structures that were the core pillars of the building to maximize the damage!
“Oh, my…”
[How could you do that with just a stone…?]
The party muttered in dismay. If Jung Si-woo went to the 73rd castle of Setnak, it would collapse regardless of the hassle of breaking through the upper floor. There seemed to be no sign of God or anything that could withstand that overwhelming force.
“Well, that’s a five-stage break, right?”
“However, can’t we clear ten stages with one coin, Oppa…?”
Jung Si-woo joked around to show how absurd what he had done was and then turned around, stretching refreshingly. As if a meteor had fallen, Caina murmured in dismay at the disaster scene where only the debris of the building could be seen.
[Clear warning. This Gang-hoo will never touch the great master again.]
“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to end with a warning. He was after my father, and more than a dozen civilians were hurt. The time to end with a warning is already over.”
What are you talking about? Jung Si-woo said with a smirk. Soo Ah-rin asked back instead of Caina.
“But what more are you going to do, Oppa…?”
“There’s still a lot of evidence on the ground related to this storm. I dare to pose as an absolute man with that clumsy power, and I must let them know that there is no place on earth to rest in peace.”
Soo Ah-rin ‘s expression turned pale when she heard it. It would be better to laugh with exaggerated bravado, but Jung Si-woo wasn’t the type to make jokes at times like this.
“I’m quite prepared, though. I printed out all the data related to Lee Kang-hoo because I thought he might be a dangerous person.”
Marina had been whining about him since before. Lee Kang-hoo was tired and annoyed by his aggression, so he wanted to have a fake engagement. However, he had no feelings for Marina, so he refused easily and instead regarded her as a close friend. Moreover, even Seria, who declared that she would follow him, complained of inconvenience so that he couldn’t stay.
So, he asked his mother for a favor and collected data about him.
“It’s not that I like Marina…?”
“Phew.”
He grinned at her jealous comments and stroked her head without saying a word. She was embarrassed and bowed her head and muttered back.
“Oh, that’s fine…no, I’m not trying to argue with you about this; I just asked you out of curiosity….”
“It’s okay; feel free to ask me if it bothers you.”
“Oppa…”
Oh, did you relax a little after giving off that energy? How come the atmosphere was suddenly so good? Soo Ah-rin felt her heart beating fast at the sudden change. Then Jung Si-woo pulled the throttle of the bike, withdrawing his hand from her.
“Okay, let’s go break it down again. The closest thing here is a private building.”
“Ahhhh, it was a good atmosphere right now!”
[Whoops, it was dangerous. There’s no one to tackle this pink atmosphere without Yong Se-ha.]
“Caina, shut up!”
Jung Si-woo picked up some weapons and hurried down the road. First of all, Lee Kang-hoo’s buildings related to the company were identified and visited in order. Once he got there, he scared all the people out using war cry and then completely sunk the building with his best throw.
“Many people will lose their jobs.”
“There must be people in there who are involved in what Lee Kang-hoo is doing and what he is trying to do, but he should be aware that we saved his life.”
He didn’t want to go so far, to be honest. Once he circumnavigated China, he turned overseas and even blew up Yonghwa Guild’s factory and Lee Kang-hoo’s villa. As he maintained his hiding, he was invisible to everyone, and there were no traces of his party left at the scene. Of course, it was possible to infer that Jung Si-woo is the only person on the planet who could carry out such a destructive operation, but that alone couldn’t be helped. He ran away after committing a terrible crime himself.
“But it’s not over yet.”
“I think every building on the ground has collapsed.”
“There’s still an artificial island left.
Guilds and businesses involved in the development of artificial islands had their territory on the island. Now Jung Si-woo was talking about it.
“But it’s the product of the Earth’s magic engineering. Is it possible to hide who we are?”
“If you can’t hide it, you can just reveal it.”
Jung Si-woo grinned.
“At least I won’t regret it.”
