17. Junk Shop (3)

Crackle, crackle!!

The second summon of [Elemental Hyena], Thunder.

Sparks going between the mane,

Small discharges occurring on the ground every time it moves.

Two ‘Thunder’ sauntered beside him.

“Y-you right now··· wh-what did you call out?”

“Th-that what is it···.”

“Something is s-strange. I-I think I touched wrong···.”

Small fry trembled.

Of course, the large-bodied man the same.

The large-bodied man who became a surprised rabbit eye hurriedly did something.

"Ah, no···!"

The large-bodied man full of fear cast with a trembling hand.

Kugugung! Kugugung!

Suddenly stone barriers soaring from the floor.

Such barriers three layers, four layers, five layers.

Even it didn’t stop there.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Shields wrapping his body.

He put on endlessly continuously.

A struggle to live somehow.

The guy desperately tried everything.

Unlike the small fry who can’t even grasp what situation it is, it means he grasped the situation very properly.

'···This guy was a defense-type mage.'

He also has no leisure.

He immediately used the T-shirt.

Wooooong—.

Used the mana gathered in the meantime.

But this is also a moment.

He hurriedly moved the two Thunders.

Spot! Spot!

“Huh?”

Then the two Thunders suddenly disappeared.

Crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle!! Crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle!! Crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle!!

Where the Thunders appeared was near the guys.

Speed so fast it couldn’t even be counted.

In 1 second it pierced between the guys dozens, hundreds of times.

Every time that sparks connecting and searing each other.

“Kkkkkkkuh!!”

“Kkukukukuk!!”

“Kuuuuuh!!”

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Guys who were burning pitch black had their bodies burst.

Of course, the large-bodied guy who diligently made something the same.

Crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle!! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

“Th-that’s impossible! That’s impossible··· kuuuuuh!!”

Crunch!

All barriers were destroyed in an instant.

The shields he diligently overlaid broke like paper scraps.

* * *

Mr. Park swallowed saliva.

What on earth did he just see?

‘···What on earth is that summon? W-was there a summon like that too?’

Clearly it was a hyena-type summon.

Originally summons are diverse, but he had never seen or heard of a hyena of that kind.

Even the amazing thing···.

‘The power is i-insane. What he called wasn’t even 2 seconds, 3 seconds but he processed those guys in an instant···.’

Although small fry they are not ordinary people either. Because they were guys who were 2nd Rank, 3rd Rank.

Moreover the amazing point of this is that it was a many-to-one battle.

Originally mage battles are like that.

Because they are busy casting each other, dealing with several people alone was quite a hard thing.

From the start the temporal leisure to cast is insufficient.

In such a situation he showed this overwhelming appearance.

Even there was a situation with a defense-type mage too.

A very sturdy guy that is.

‘I also used all kinds of things to break that guy’s defense. Even I concentrated only on that guy··· but, young man Dojin not only killed all with just those, but also chewed the guy’s defense magic and even burst the body?’

Even seeing he couldn’t believe it.

He rubbed his eyes, and rubbed again and saw.

The guys’ bodies burned with shattered pieces.

‘R-right··· it really burst···.’

What is the characteristic of lightning-type magic.

Extremely fast projectile speed.

In other words, instead of being fast the power is not that strong.

But what is this?

The bodies of the guys hit by lightning burst?

‘World···.’

Even for lightning magic it was damn fast, and damn strong.

To the point goosebumps rose all over his body.

But somehow.

The summon that showed enormous power disappeared soon.

Even though it was that moment it swept clean.

‘Only now I’m seeing young man Dojin’s magic. Bizarre. Very bizarre!’

Clearly he knows he uses fire-type magic too.

Because looking at the Mana Robber’s corpse he can know.

Even there seemed to be more besides that.

The thing of quietly entering a little while ago.

Normally things like this are actions assassination-type mages do.

‘That wouldn’t be. Using even assassination-type magic··· the grain is completely different.’

‘As expected not ordinary.’

How long has it been since seeing heart fluttering.

Although the same mage, seeing such an overwhelming mage the heart naturally races.

Isn’t this the charm of magic.

* * *

A few days flowed after that incident.

The uncle eventually had to be indebted to the hospital.

Thanks to that the shop closed the door for a few days.

According to the uncle’s words, the guys were not simply looking for only him.

Of course they went in and out of the real estate here, and they said they looked quite busy somehow.

‘Anyway, it was words that they are guys he will face later too.’

It wasn’t intentional, but somehow he processed in advance.

He was also able to help the uncle.

“Is Teri okay? Not disturbing?”

He came to the junk shop.

Holding a lot of Teri’s food!

“This guy is not an ordinary guy? Very smart! It seems to understand my words? Look at this a bit! The guy is moving all these heavy things saying it will help me! Hehehe!”

The grandfather quite liked Teri.

Well, a giant guy helping with work like that so it would be natural.

Ring—.

At that time.

A call from Mr. Sangcheol came.

“Yes, uncle.”

-Wow, young man Dojin! What have you been doing in the meantime? Right now rumors about you have spread widely!

“Yes? What do you mean?”

-Precisely it’s something only people who know know, but the rumor that Kim Myeongdo died spread. Moreover the rumor that he died at a place related to the request.

The uncle mentioned about the rumor.

Come to think of it Mr. Park also said similar words on the way back from the company.

「This matter will spread as time passes. Right now Kim Myeongdo is just quiet? it might seem··· eventually, it is revealed. That guy was particularly a quite vicious guy among request offices or people performing requests. This will become known as your debut battle.」

The words that it would become a rumor as a debut battle.

Is this what it means by any chance?

-There are many people who suffered from that Kim Myeongdo bastard and the request office also failed quite a lot because of the guy. But that guy died? It turned out it was a place hyung Park received the request. And you processed that?

“Ah, yes it is right.”

-Wow··· not only processing the Mana Robber, but also going out saying he will process the Aberrant alone. I felt something was different, but I was greatly surprised? Hahaha!

“Ha, haha···.”

Somehow embarrassing.

Rare to receive praise like this from somewhere.

-Do you know that? To the point contacts come to me too saying they want to entrust a request to you and tell who it is! Saying isn’t it a person related to that matter. Hahaha!

“···Is it that much?”

-Of course! Naturally! Probably surviving that guy’s raid would also be the first for you.

···That bastard wasn’t ordinary.

-Ah ah! That aside. You said there is something to receive from hyung Park? A contact came from the hospital. Telling me to give it to you first. That hyung is not a person who takes care of someone like that··· it seems he quite likes you. Hahaha.

No well even from the hospital.

But if he can receive he has to receive.

“Yes, by any chance when should I go?”

-Anytime is fine. And also··· this is actually the real purpose I contacted, you know Jangwon who requested in Incheon last time?

“Ah, I know.”

-This time it seems he wants to entrust one work to you a bit. He asks if I can connect through me. Looking at not contacting directly and going through me it seems quite awkward.

Jangwon.

The request office owner who made even that Seo Jaewon not make a sound.

And a person who said he acts nationwide.

“What request did he say?”

-···Actually this is a bit ambiguous, I also feel a bit like that to actively recommend. It’s a request that has to enter beyond the wall.

“···Beyond the wall?”

There is not a place anyone enters.

-But you know? There you can only enter if you have a pass. The side that proposed that request said they will solve even that. It seems a conglomerate requested.

A conglomerate’s request.

And entry beyond the wall.

Just by looking it was a considerably large request.

-The advice I can give you is one. Going beyond the wall itself is quite dangerous, but actually it’s not that anyone can go just because they want to. Although dangerous, that place beyond the wall is a place with quite many old relics. It means if only luck is good you can also bring rare things.

Thump, thump.

Beyond the wall, and old relics.

These words sounded quite sweet.

“First I want to hear in detail about that request, is it possible?”

-Okay. Then I’ll contact Jangwon. That friend will contact separately and tell you.

He accepted the request.

He knows well that place is a dangerous place, but actually he also knew well that not anyone can enter.

Wooong, wooong—.

At that time, mana undulated and flowed in twice.

He knows what this means.

“Why, asking to play?”

-Grung, grrung.

The method Teri uses when calling him.

It stabs mana in and calls.

“This guy!”

Rub rub rub rub rub.

He stroked freely.

The giant guy thud! and flipped its belly.

It grung grung saying good.

‘Shall I take Teri this time too?’

Hmm, that also wouldn’t be bad.

Our Teri is a mana battery.

Moreover it was also a reliable guy.

* * *

The next day.

He headed to Mr. Sangcheol’s shop.

As soon as he went the uncle smiling, welcoming.

“Oh my, our young man Dojin came! Hahaha! Now, drink.”

As he did handing an iced Americano.

“I’ll drink well.”

“You came to receive this, right? What hyung Park said to give.”

“Ah, yes. Can I receive it now?”

“Yeah, of course.”

Swoosh.

The uncle lowered his body under the table.

And took out something, a bit large?

“Hyung said to give this. It’s a mid-grade mana stone. Higher than lower-grade. Do you know that from mid-grade the mana storage amount increases exponentially?”

“Ah··· mid-grade mana stone?”

Oh, mid-grade?

A mana stone he has never used even once until now.

How much is there?

“Thank you. Ah, and boss Jangwon says he will come here.”

“Anyway a contact came. Since he has to go beyond the wall anyway it would be like that. Actually although dangerous, even if a conglomerate it’s hard to experience a request like this. Be careful and go and come.”

“Yes, then I’ll go and come.”

He came out of the shop.

In his hand a mid-grade mana stone was held.

‘How much mana is stored in total?’

He has to try using it.

Wooooong────!! Wooooong────!! Wooooong────!!

[Leveled up.]

Mana filled.

Just filled steadily.

Wooooong────!! Wooooong────!! Wooooong────!!

[Leveled up.] [Leveled up.] [Leveled up.] ············ ············ [Leveled up.]

‘Oh my god.’

How many times is he leveling up in total?

Why doesn’t this message stop?

···Now it’s to the point of being scary.

From the start as the level rises the mana amount also grows so it was a situation where leveling up gradually became harder.

But with this how many times in total···.

[Leveled up.]

Soon the message that was rising scarily also stopped.

But some strange message appears?

[‘Ancient Constellation’ system has been opened.] [Acquired Ancient Constellation Point x1.]

Huh, what is this again.

Ancient Constellation?

“???”
