There is a unique feeling when obtaining power.
A pounding feeling as if another heart had been created in my chest and was pulsating.
“….”
But now, can you imagine that the pounding is 50 times more intense than before?
Daesung placed his hand on his heart, which was pounding as if it was going to explode, and looked at the system notification that appeared in front of him.
[‘Ruler of Blood’ Ramish has been defeated.]
[The results of Ramish’s lifelong research and development, the ‘Bishop of All Worlds’, seep into the body of the Absolute.]
[Bishop The power of: You have acquired < The book >.]
< Power information >
The book
[The black magic pursued by the saint of Hekkar, who is said to be the most proficient in magic among the numerous races in the entire universe. The pinnacle of the Black Magic Path.]
[The book contains information on all the powers created by the Bishop of Honse.] [
You can use the powers written on each page yourself or transfer them to others.]
[On the relevant page . To use the written power, you must focus your gaze on the page for more than 30 seconds.]
[There is a total of 1 power that can be transferred to another person. After a week, the transferred powers are automatically recovered.]
Until just now, I was disappointed that I had escaped the marriage without being able to obtain the powers of Karina and Volks.
However, the words written on the system window were enough to immediately dispel that disappointment.
‘In other words, I gained all the powers that exist at once.’
The power may be lower in scale and power compared to items originating from hell or heavenly systems.
Sometimes things with such rare performance existed.
For example, < Yeomsa > and < Secret God >, which are well-used in many ways, were like that.
But you can get them all at once.
“Not bad.”
It felt like I had received a pile of fun toys to play with.
Is it because, as written in the description, it is a research work filled with Ramish’s soul and passion?
Daesung read the detailed yet verbose text of the system.
[The powers acquired by viewing the page can be used for 1 hour.]
[The powers once used can be reused after 5 hours.]
Although all powers could be used, there were also clear restrictions.
‘The powers acquired over the past two years can be used permanently, but…’
< Flame Death > < Stealth > < Provocation > < Room of Erosion > < Blood Sword > < Hydration > < Impersonation >, etc.
Except for Sagat, the powers obtained from each Dimension Taker could be expressed continuously and whenever desired.
However, while < The Book > has broad versatility, it has clear limitations.
It doesn’t really matter though.
‘The pros and cons are clear, but the pros outweigh the cons.’
How to apply it depends entirely on your own capabilities.
Daesung immediately decided to use < The Book > to get rid of the bull’s horn.
As with other powers, my instincts told me how to use < The Book >.
The moment you raise your right hand to chest level with your palm facing upward.
-Hwareuk.
Black smoke swirled like a whirlpool and gathered on his palm.
The body gradually hardened into a solid, and soon an old book covered with a black leather cover appeared.
“hmm.”
Daesung picked up the old book and looked through it step by step, starting from the first page.
Since the system says that you can automatically acquire powers by looking at the page for 30 seconds, you can’t stay on one page for a long time.
-Sigh.
Daesung quickly turned the pages, only briefly understanding what was going on.
That moment.
Stop.
The pages that were turning quickly, like flipping through a comic book, stopped at a certain section.
“This…?”
This is because none other than a certain power caught his attention.
Access
< Power Information >
[Locked information.]
[Information unlocked when 100% collection rate is achieved by acquiring the life stone of the dimensional race.]
[Current collection rate: 0%]
Different from those written on other pages. detail.
I stared at the page for 30 seconds just in case, but nothing changed.
“Hmm…”
Does acquiring the lifestone of a dimensional race simply mean killing monsters?
I flipped through the paper until the end to see if there was a power locking information on other pages as well.
< Connection > was the only power that was not unlocked.
‘I feel uncomfortable.’
I couldn’t figure out why they had to hide the information until certain conditions were met.
Does this mean that the information is powerful enough to be hidden?
But isn’t the nuance of the word ‘connection’ far from ‘power’?
‘There’s something.’
It’s frustrating, but there’s no need to worry in a situation where you can’t come up with a clear answer.
First of all, if you collect the ‘lifestones’ referred to here, the answer to your question will naturally come out.
widely.
Daesung shook off his discomfort and closed the book. The book turned into smoke again and dispersed, just as it had appeared.
‘Let’s really rest.’
It was a short period of time, less than half a day, but there were so many fierce battles.
It made me wonder if there had ever been such a forced march since returning from hell.
I want to go back and see the faces of my family at home.
‘You must be very worried.’
I told Hyejeong and Jisoo to stay home and not go to the shelter. Of course, the house loaded with ‘Balark’s Iron Castle’ was much safer than the shelter.
“It’s a shame that you believe me.”
It was at that time that he muttered that and was getting up from his tired body.
Murmur.
The noise outside the building, which he had not heard because he was concentrating, was finally starting to reach his ears.
“….”
The moment Daesung suddenly felt an ominous feeling, he turned his body and looked down at the ground below.
“ah! “It’s out there!”
“Hantaeseong hunter!”
“Get ready for the interview! hurry!”
Meanwhile, a large number of people were already gathered in front of the building, looking up at Daeseong.
Citizens cheer and shout out his name after being revived from death.
Even on a day like this, reporters from various media outlets showed their fierce professional spirit and ran like ghosts.
If the people praising the hero’s triumphal procession in the Middle Ages were translated into the 21st century, would it be something like that?
“….”
Since I had a public image, I wanted to reciprocate as much as possible.
I didn’t want to get caught up in it, as I was in a state where I felt like I was going to collapse from exhaustion.
-Pot.
“uh!”
“What is it?”
“Where did you go?”
The moment Daesung used < Stealth > to hide himself, people started to panic with their eyes wide open.
Thanks to this, he was able to leisurely walk home without being noticed by anyone.

< A huge gate appears in the sky! What is the possibility of it appearing again next time? >
< A Korean hunter single-handedly resolves an unprecedented situation. >
< A flying object suddenly appears in the sky. It is likely to be a summoned beast of a Han Dae-seong hunter. >
< The government's official position on the super-large gate appearance incident is scheduled to be announced sometime tomorrow morning. >
The incident was concluded without serious casualties, but the world was still in an uproar. No, on the contrary, because everything was over, people who had had enough could raise their voices to their heart’s content.
just as expected.
The vast majority of people were worried that a super-large gate might appear again in the future.
A heated discussion took place in the live panel.
< You can't just rely on one cold hunter. If that's the case, then why do we have clans and associations and why do we have hunters? > < What is certain is that through this incident, we have learned how helpless the 'hunters' are. > < This is the work of Hunter Han Dae-seong alone . The status of the clan and the hunter as a whole has not increased. No, it actually crashed. >
< What do you do if you are a large clan? So what did they do during this mega-gate incident? Where were they when people ran for shelter in fear and cold weather hunters struggled? >
And in less than a day, a new topic emerged.
Public trust in hunters, associations, and large clans has plummeted.
Clink-!
A glass filled with water flew into the face of the man on the panel on the TV screen.
“That Grant….”
The headquarters building of the large American clan < Country >.
The team members there received an emergency call before dawn and had to gather in the headquarters conference room.
And as soon as I sat down, I looked at Grant Nelson, the director of < Country > and an American S-class hunter.
“You bastards who don’t even know grace. “You’re so good at talking about having a pierced mouth, right?”
Beep.
Grant turned off the TV with the glass shards on it using the remote control as if he didn’t want to see it.
“So we just trembled and sucked our fingers like other cowards? Even to say the least…”
“If that guy hadn’t appeared, < Country > would have been responsible for the safety of North America.”
The person who received Grant’s words was Andrew Norris, one of the Clan executives.
Andrew was also in the S class and had consistently received Grant’s favor.
Of course, Andrew did not gain favor from Grant simply because he was S-class.
“A mad dog from the East stole our food bowl. We suddenly became incompetent.”
The two thought well together.
Andrew pointed out exactly what Grant wanted to say.
“Grant. Are you going to just keep watching like this?”
“If you were to wait and see, would I have issued an emergency call at this time?”
“Something has to be done.”
There was a dark atmosphere between the two as their eyes met.
Sometimes silent words convey more than a hundred words.
A few team members who understood the meaning of the silence that dominated the conference room opened their mouths in horror.
“It’s not possible. “Absolutely not!”
“It seems like you two are very excited. Let’s calm down for a moment and think again…”
“The opponent is not just a hunter. “That is the cold weather.”
They know very well what methods Grant usually follows.
Anyone who may become an obstacle is to be mercilessly removed.
After dealing with the prey, they mobilized the power of a large clan to somehow conceal their actions.
Either disguise it as a suicide or an accidental death at the gate.
Of course, the fact that the people here knew that fact meant that they, too, had always gone along with Grant’s methods.
But this time, I couldn’t support that method.
“Conversely, we may be harmed. Please be cautious.”
“Let’s give money to the media instead. “At least Country did what it had to do.”
Because the opponent was so bad.
Because you’re trying to mess with a crazy dog that shouldn’t be messed with.
Amidst criticism from executives calling for this to be passed quietly at least for now.
bang-!
Grant’s fist hit the table, causing the crowd to fall into silence.
“At least we did our job?”
“Please calm down.”
“That’s what happens when you spend a lot of money and barely get anything. ‘We weren’t as good as him, but we still tried.’ “Is it to that extent?”
“no. I mean…”
“Don’t you guys have any pride? “Some Asian guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere and is taking over our position?”
“But that guy, Han Dae-seong….”
“He’s strong, so let’s not touch him? Well then, can we just accept that we are scarecrows that not even an Asian can handle?”
“….”
The executive, who continued to refute, eventually avoided eye contact and kept his mouth shut.
It’s too late to persuade.
Because it was clearly visible that Grant was planning to deal with Daesung at any cost.
A sinew appeared on Grant’s forehead.
‘We shouldn’t have interfered in the United States.’
At least.
I can’t bear the fact that < Country >‘s home ground, which it held tightly, was invaded.
Even at this moment, many people on the mainland cursed the Klan and were angry at Grant.
‘You arrogant bastard.’
The public image is directly related to the clan’s status.
What must be done?
What can I do….
***
The sun was just rising in the United States, but in Korea it was pitch black.
Daesung, who was washing his body and getting the rest he wanted, suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.
‘Report.’
This was none other than the situation of Hwang Jun-young and his group who flew to Macau to kill Moon Se-geol.
A signal could be sent to the three who had become demon beasts at any time.
The answer came back from Hwang Jun-young immediately.
[We arrived late because there was an accident on the way to Macau.]
‘What an accident.’
[We were attacked by mummies. So I lost a hatchling… um.]
‘It doesn’t matter. What about Moon Se-geol?’
[I was barely able to follow behind secretly. I’m currently resting at the hotel.]
“Handle it as quietly as possible. “If it’s a hotel, there will be a lot of other guests.”
[I understand. Please be careful on the rooftop of the building across from me… uh!]
That moment.
Deep astonishment began to emerge from Hwang Jun-young’s flat voice.
Daesung’s brow furrowed, not feeling very good.
