Episode 70.
“Hyeong-nim, the weapon is complete!”
“Oppa, are you okay?”
Yong Se-ha and Soo Ah-rin, who held the thunder god’s rifle, rushed out of the space. Jung Si-woo didn’t look back at them and pushed the eel away. Perhaps because the temple was destroyed or because it failed to prevent the rifle’s awakening, the eel’s body was weak, and it couldn’t stop Jung Si-woo’s rush. It was pushed out, leaving a black burn mark on the floor.
[Keuaaaaaa!]
“Keueueueueu.”
[Lightning resistance Lv7. You will not be paralyzed by lightning attacks from monsters below rank A.]
Lightning containing God’s power flowed into Jung Si-woo’s body, but it couldn’t stop him anymore. He hit the monster hard with his shoulder, pushing him away, then swung his hammer, hitting the bridge of its nose!
“Heu…euaaaah!”
[Kahak!]
With cracking sound, some of its scales were finally destroyed! The flesh inside of it was badly crushed and bleeding profusely. Jung Si-woo had a deep smile on his face when he saw it.
“I know I can win.”
[Even if it may be a false body, it’s my strength…!]
“I’m looking forward to it. Someday I’ll leave the same mark on your real body.”
Jung Si-woo put strength into his hammer. He instinctively felt that there wasn’t much time left to maintain his power, so he had to finish it before that!
“Oppa, I think we can weaken it further using this!”
“Then do it!”
[You, you bastards…!]
He tried to rush toward Yong Se-ha and Soo Ah-rin, but he was hit by the hammer that Jung Si-woo swung. Jung Si-woo showed his teeth and pushed them hard. Now, he was overwhelming the serpent with a battle of strength!
“Where?!”
“I’ll do it!”
At the moment when a short suspension was given, Yong Se-ha invoked the ability of the thunder god’s rifle. Surprisingly, the mana of the thunder serpent was beginning to escape its body and flow into the rife!
[How, how dare you take my power…my poweeeeeer!]
“I don’t know what you did, but you did a great job!”
As more power was taken away from the already weakened thunder serpent, it shrank with a terrible scream. And Jung Si-woo was a man who didn’t hesitate to attack the enemy’s weaknesses.
“Die! Die! Dieeeeeee!”
[Keuaaaaa!]
The front paw captured his great power and unleashed a threatening flame that pounded the serpent’s head. As the strikes continued, the red flame burned violently. The flame of the hammer wasn’t very strong, but under the influence of Jung Si-woo’s rough and dense mana, it dug deep into the body of the serpent and burned its blood, bones, and body. It was a miracle.
[You have made achievements by facing and overcoming the power of God. The flame’s rank of the front paw is permanently raised one notch.]
[Super strength skill has become Lv2]
Everything popping up at once was making him dizzy, but he ignored it. Jung Si-woo just smashed the monster’s head with the hammer as hard as he could. As the defeat became clear, the monster was trying to bite Jung Si-woo or strike him with lightning, but its existence was already being sucked into the rifle of the thunder god. The stronger the energy gathered in the rifle, the weaker its body became. On the other hand, Jung Si-woo hit him with more force like he wasn’t tired!
[Marina…]
He hit the monster countless times. When the winner of the battle was determined, Laia cried out. It was a voice full of resentment, anger, and injustice.
[Marinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]
If he ever got to meet Marina Bissett, he had to tell her to be careful of the thunder god. Vowing to do so, Jung Si-woo swung his hammer with all his might.
“Die!”
[With only that much power… I don’t think you can keep it.]
The thunder god Laia spoke as if she were cursing Jung Si-woo, but at that moment, his hammer fell toward the monster’s head with more energy than before. The head of the thunder serpent emitted a vicious glow in its eyes before it was completely smashed.
“Whoa, whoooo…”
That was it. The God’s mana was no longer there. All of it was absorbed by Jung Si-woo.
[The destruction of the temple reduces the thunder god Laia’s influence on the Earth by 3.6%.]
[The destruction of the descendant further reduces the thunder god Laia’s influence on the Earth by an additional 7%.]
[You have risen seven levels]
[Thunder resistance Lv9]
[Dragon Dignity Lv7.]
[You have gained new Player Skills and Visual (Passive) Skills.]
[???? Of ??????]
“…?”
Jung Si-woo was struggling with pain due to gaining many levels at once. He immediately read the message that popped up and made a strange expression despite the intense pain. This wasn’t a real game, so there weren’t supposed to be any bugs. He wondered what those question marks meant…
Unfortunately, time was up for the Super strength skill. He was already in so much muscle pain. Jung Si-woo decided to forget things he was unsure of and suffer in peace. For about five minutes, Jung Si-woo had to endure terrible pain as he rolled around the collapsed temple.
“Oppa, are you okay?”
“…Yes.”
When Jung Si-woo opened his eyes, Soo Ah-rin looked into his face with worried eyes. Eyes that shined mysteriously, silky smooth skin, and lips that were naturally plump…
‘What, why are you so pretty.’
Jung Si-woo was surprised to see her face so close up, but he soon realized that it was because of the newly acquired passive skill – vision. When he realized it, his vision returned to its original state. Although it was a passive skill, he was able to change his ability freely.
“As expected, the five senses can also be skills.”
“Did you acquire that during the battle?”
“No, I just happened to get it myself at the end.”
However, there was a certain degree of surprise as to why it was his vision, but it wasn’t that surprising either because everything surrounding him was so random to start. Jung Si-woo rose from his seat and shook himself, thinking it was fortunate that he didn’t need to consume so much mana anymore. When he looked around, it was a real eyesore.
“It’s completely ruined.”
“It’s good to have completely destroyed the temple, but now you’re exposed to the outside world. Let’s get out of here before the others come in.”
“Yes, we should. Did we miss anything?”
“We need to take the eel’s body, right?”
That’s right. He recovered all of God’s mana, but as soon as Laia, the thunder god, descended, its body evolved. Jung Si-woo quickly put it into his inventory. More than 80% of the inventory was filled even though they came to the temple and recovered only the bodies of elite monsters.
“Hyeong-nim, here’s the most important thing.”
“Oh, you were holding it.”
It was none other than the rifle of the thunder god that Yong Se-ha handed over. It was already huge before, but now the gun was longer, and it had a golden geometric pattern on it, making it look outstanding. Jung Si-woo smiled with pride at the altar, where he first felt the pressure while he checked the rifle’s information. An unbelievable line of texts popped up.
[The lazy rifle of the thunder god (Seal)]
[Rank – A++]
[Attack – 3,100 – 4,200]
[Skills – 219/2,000]
[Option – 1. A ‘charge shot’ is possible, which absorbs in the outer mana and fires a more powerful blow. It can absorb and amplify the mana of the lightning property more effectively. 2. ???]
[A weapon that is said to have been made from the body of the lightning god. It was converted into a rifle in consideration of the owner’s ability at the time of the acquisition, and its shape is stuck and will never change again. If you have the mana bullet skill, it is possible to launch a more powerful bullet. The underlying performance of the artifact was significantly improved by absorbing the thunder god’s power. The primary seal is released.]
“A++ Rank…!?”
It was a weapon that was used against monsters up to level 300! Jung Si-woo was already dealing with monsters who were over level 200! Yong Se-ha chimed in, clearly impressed.
“What will Marina Bissett say when she sees this?”
“Don’t say anything.”
Jung Si-woo smiled bitterly while hefting the rifle in his hand, which had doubled in weight compared to before.
“She’d say it’s friggin heavy.”
As the rank was upgraded, the weight was as well, in addition to the attack being incomparably enhanced and the first option opening. At the last minute, it was clear that the first option was the power of Laia. It was the mana of the thunder god herself so that the option wouldn’t have existed without God’s mana. However, if he hadn’t thought of it and acted on it quickly, it would’ve been difficult for Jung Si-woo to defeat the God.
“Good job. Excellent assistance.”
“I think you would have won without us anyway.”
It was easy to believe that it was a legendary scene. He drove the giant eel back and cornered it, then eventually crushed it. Soo Ah-rin could still recall clearly as if the scene were replaying in front of her. It was a scene that made her heart pound. She was so upset.
“You’re not human anymore.”
“But this isn’t enough. Its words were right. I can’t do anything with only this much power.”
It wasn’t the real body of Laia, the thunder god, but it still damaged her mana when she descended into the elite monster. He barely beat that monster, so there was no room for flattery.
“I need to be stronger. A lot more.”
“How can you look so happy, though?”
