Chapter 183: Learning Oraclomind
When Kang Chul-In first started to use the Oraclomind, he was unable to catch Tuzenbach .
It was obvious this would happen .
Tuzenbach had trained for countless years to master this skill, whilst Kang Chul-In had just only learned it .
“Kuku…”
Tuzenbach laughed .
“Little bastard, do you really think you can beat me, the great swordmaster Tuzenbach with…”
POW!
Kang Chul-In’s sword managed to hit Tuzenbach’s shoulder .
“Ack!!”
Screaming in pain, Tuzenbach rolled on the ground .
“Old man . ”
Kang Chul-In laughed evilly .
“I thought I told you that I’ve already learned it . ”
“Y-You… don’t tell me you forcefully increased the capacity of your brain by…?”
“Of course I did . ”
“But, the aftereffects…”
“Who cares . ”
“ . . . !”
“I think I’d be able to sell my soul if that let me beat you up . ”
“T-That much…?”
“Get ready . ” .
Using the mana from Overdrive to increase the capacity and capabilities of his brain, Kang Chul-In was easily able to overwhelm Tuzenbach . And the result… was a terrifying beating .
Pow!
Papow!
Kang Chul-In’s sword mercilessly hit the arms and legs of Tuzenbach .
“Y-You…”
“This is why you should really shut up . ”
“ . . . !”
“I’ll crush you . ”
Saying that, Kang Chul-In threw away the sword he was using, and clenched his two fists .
Mental training… was meant to be done through his fists, after all .
Pow!
Papow!!
“Kuackkkkk!”
And that was the day that the sounds of a pig being slaughtered could be heard from the ‘strongest swordsman in Pangaea’, Tuzenbach .
“Huhu…”
Kang Chul-In laughed .
“W-Wait!!”
“Shut up . ”
“Wai… Aghh!”
Kang Chul-In’s fist struck Tuzenbach’s face .
Crack!!!
With a sound of something shattering, yellow teeth started to fall out of Tuzenbach’s mouth .
T-This crazy bastard…
Tuzenbach couldn’t believe the situation right now .
The achievement that he had gotten after training for a lifetime--- someone managed to get it in just a day . Tuzenbach was astonished, and felt somewhat depressed .
But that wasn’t all .
Uuhh…! It hurts…
Kang Chul-In’s beating was truly terrifying .
By forcefully activating his brain’s full capacity, Kang Chul-In was beating up Tuzenbach while taking the full brunt of the aftereffects .
A terrible nosebleed .
Red, almost bloody, eyes .
Currently, Kang Chul-In had an appearance that surpassed being just ‘tough’; he looked like a crazy devil .
“Huhu…”
Actually, he was a crazy devil .
Kang Chul-In was laughing .
He was swinging his fists as if beating Tuzenbach was truly enjoyable and satisfying .
“S-Stop!! That’s enough! You have my acknowledgement!!”
“No . ”
But Kang Chul-In merely shook his head .
“I still have to hit you 566 times . ”
“W-Why!?”
“Old man, you hit me exactly 71 times . ”
“ . . . You counted that?”
“Of course . ”
With things like this, Kang Chul-In was quite childish .
“I originally needed to hit you 710 times since it’s 71 multiplied by 10 . Since I’ve already hit you 144 times, 710 minus 144 is 566 . In conclusion, I still need to hit you 566 times . ”
“K-Kuk… What kind of miraculous method of counting is that?”
“It’s my way of calculating . ”
“ . . . ”
“Well then, good luck . ”
“Huh? U-Uh… Uhhhh?! Kuaaaa!”
That day, Tuzenbach also realized how badly a person could be beaten up, and how much pain one could take . After getting hit 566 more times .
--------------
“Sob… sob…”
Tuzenbach began to sob, putting his pride behind him .
“You meanie… bad guy… Sob…”
It hurt .
It hurt a lot .
Kang Chul-In’s mental training was enough to make even Tuzenbach, who had trained himself for a lifetime, cry .
“Ha… Hu…”
Of course, Kang Chul-In himself wasn’t in a good state .
After forcefully increasing his brain’s capacity, he was paying the price . Well, part of it was because he had gotten tired after beating Tuzenbach up so much .
This… is even more dangerous than Overdrive .
That was how Kang Chul-In thought of the Oraclomind .
A headache that seemed to split his head apart, dizziness, and weird sounds in his ears .
He was also extremely tired .
It was entirely possible that if he had used the Oraclomind for 30 more seconds, his brain would have either exploded, or he would have gone crazy .
“You stubborn bastard… Damned bastard… I have never seen someone like you before…! Wait, I guess Julius, that kiddo, was like you too . ”
“Shut… up… Hu…”
“No, I don’t want to . Haha… . ”
“ . . . It seems like you still haven’t learned your lesson… . ”
“N-No!! I have! I most definitely have!”
Even after all of that, Kang Chul-In and Tuzenbach continued to fight, with both of them lying on the ground, exhausted .
“Hmph… Anyway, I acknowledge you . ”
Tuzenbach said, signaling the end of the quest .
“Who are you to acknowledge me?”
“You rude bastard!! I can’t believe that comes out of your mouth, even after I, your master, taught you the skill that took me a lifetime to learn!!”
“Master? Who?”
“Y . . . You…!”
“I’m a Lord . There is no one above me . ”
“Then how about the emperor that you…”
“There is no emperor . ”
“ . . . !”
“Well, that might be different once I become the emperor myself . ”
“Y-You . . . Crazy bastard . ”
“Shut up, and give me Mitra already . ”
“Hmph… take it . ”
“I’ll use it well . ”
“Yeah!! Use it well, you damned bastard!!”
Tuzenbach shouted .
[You have cleared the quest: ‘The Teaching of a Veteran’ . ]
A message popped up that told Kang Chul-In the quest was truly over .
[You have learned the skill ‘Oraclomind’!]
[Mastery until the skill is mastered (1/1,000,000)]
Tuzenbach’s unique move was also given to Kang Chul-In . Even though it would take an extremely long time to use it without Overdrive .
“Oh, and…”
“ . . . ?”
“Don’t stay lax with training . ”
Tuzenbach advised .
“The brain is the main organ of the human body . Even though I don’t know how you increased the capabilities of your brain, your body won’t last if you continue to do that . ”
“I know . ”
“If you do know, then make sure you train . It doesn’t matter what you do, as long it’s helpful in training your senses . Remember, even losing your memories is a small matter if you continue to forcefully use your brain like that . If it’s bad, you might go crazy . If that happens, you’ll become a raging demon . I don’t want to see you becoming like that . Even though you might not agree with this, I still think of you as my disciple . ”
“Old man…”
“Even though having great ambitions isn’t a bad thing, you should always be wary when killing . There are more powerhouses in this world than you think . Don’t always be arrogant, and you should learn to be modest at times . ”
It seemed that Tuzenbach wanted his farewell with Kang Chul-In to be somewhat warm .
“So, remember to train . And finally… don’t ever lose… Hey! Where are you going!?”
The disciple of the swordmaster isn’t allowed to lose!
. . . is what Tuzenbach was going to say, before realizing Kang Chul-In wasn’t listening, and walking towards where Mitra was being kept .
He was trying to act like a good teacher for once, but Kang Chul-In had ignored him .
“You rude…”
“Old man . ”
Kang Chul-In stared at Tuzenbach, and spoke .
“What are you trying to say?”
“Well, of course… I want you to become invincible . ”
“ . . . Invincible?”
“Don’t ever lose a one-on-one to anyone . That’s what I want to say . ”
“Hmm…”
“Can you promise that?”
“Of course . ”
“Ho, you have good confidence . That suits your… terrible personality . Just so you know, a man…”
“A man is confident . ”
“Very good!”
Tuzenbach nodded, satisfied .
“Now, I can go . I have no regrets . ”
“Are you going now?”
“I have to . I don’t even remember how long I was stuck in here . ”
Saying that, Tuzenbach,
Srrr…!
Started to fade away, like the fog .
“You have to become invincible! You rude bastard of a disciple!”
With his last words, Tuzenbach completely disappeared . He had gone to the afterworld after achieving his final wish of passing his achievements to the future generation .
“Noisy old man . ”
After laughing when Tuzenbach had disappeared,
BANG!
Kang Chul-In broke open the stone coffin .
Inside of it, a blinding light filled the whole room, as if it had been waiting .
-----------
In the control tower dedicated to the Galaxy Corporation .
Putting a headset on, Kwak-Jung spoke .
“We have to block the dungeons first . The first one… Sindorim . ”
At Kwak-Jung’s orders, 10 tanks started to roll towards Sindorim’s ‘technique mart’, forming a barricade .
“Group A, come out . ”
-This is group A .
Billy Halford, who had been waiting near the Sindorim, answered .
“Clean up the monsters that are nearby and go into the dungeon once you’re finished . Oh, and tell me once you’ve cleared it . ”
-Yes, sir!
This was the first order, so Billy Halford started to move along with his fellow adventurers; as did some of the Korean army .
“Next… Group M . ”
-Please speak .
The M here represented Money; this was the group commanded by Overlord Lee Chae-rin .
“Have you finished cleaning the monsters up?”
-Yes, we have . Right now, the tanks are blocking the dungeon entrance .
“Then please clear that one, too . ”
-Of course .
“But… will you really be alright? Should I send at least one or two adventurers…”
-I’m fine . I can do it by myself .
“Well… okay . ”
As the owner of the epic item ‘Miss MoneyPay’, Lee Chae-rin was someone that specialized in ‘solo-playing’ in gamer terms .
“Hmm… Group H, please respond . ”
-This is Group H .
Overlord Dorian’s voice could be heard from Kwak-Jung’s headset .
“That place is quite big, so it might take quite a bit of time . Just enter the dungeon quickly . ”
-I can’t .
“Why not?”
-I got lost…
“Sorry?”
-I thought you said to go to Konkuk University?
“Oh! It was Sejong University, not Konkuk . ”
- . . . .
“Sorry . I got mixed up between the two . Please move to Sejong University quickly . . It’s not very far . ”
-Hu… I thought I got lost . Alright!’
“Then, please contact me again once you’ve finished wrapping up around Sejong . ”
-Copy that .
As the strongest group, Group H was also put onto the battlefield . Kwak-Jung took off his headset and started to chew his gum again .
“T-Trouble!”
But at that moment, one of the operators pointed at the screen .
“The bone dragon!!”
Marked as a red dot on the screen, the bone dragon was moving extremely quickly .
“Don’t tell me… Director Kwak!”
This time, the newly appointed General, Ko Yong-chan, called out to Kwak-Jung .
“Yes?”
“That direction… that’s the emergency shelter!”
“ . . . Which shelter?”
“Jangchung stad…”
“What?!”
Kwak-Jung shouted .
“Don’t tell me you guys actually made the idiotic decision to make Jangchung stadium into an emergency shelter…?”
“ . . . That’s right . There are almost 10,000 civilians inside…”
“What the fuck!?”
Kwak-Jung exploded .
