Chapter 843 – Preliminary Work (2)

“Hmm~. So, that means that Eunbyeol has been doing dirty things with her brother for a longer period of time than us.”

“… Well, that’s kind of it.”

“From the first time I met her, I thought she was an unusual person, but it turns out that Eunbyeol also had a deep relationship with her brother.”

In the end, when the twins asked me various questions during mealtimes, I used the excuse that ‘Eunbyeol and I had sex for a longer period of time.’

If we put the absolute value of time on the table, there would be no need for the two of us to be unreasonable and there would be no need to say ugly things like, “You don’t love me more,” Etc.

And if I were to be honest, I didn’t say anything wrong since it’s a natural phenomenon that liking increases as the time spent together increases.

“Then you know what, oppa~.”

“Huh?”

“Then what about your sister? “Is it once a day for Mina?”

“I’m curious too. And was it Minah or Eunbyeol that you had sex with first?”

“Why don’t you eat quickly?!”

Han Min-a, probably because she was being stabbed for no reason, dismissed the topic by scolding her younger siblings sitting at the table.

It was already an instinct for me to want to make fun of Han Min-ah.

“It’s okay to tell who is first, but Minah wins once a day anyway.”

“Oh…”

“You are truly amazing, big sister. We still say once a month, but Min-ah already says it once a day. This means that Min-ah is sincerer toward Taekyung than us…”

“Ahhhhh! Won’t you shut up, Hanseon?! Hey, hey, what a big deal it was that I had sex with him first! Wow, do you know that I feel good or proud about something like that?!”

“Hey, the tail stuck out, Hanmin.”

“What… !”

“It’s a lie~.”

“…”

“Ahaha, so funny~! Look at how embarrassed you are~!”

Even though it was an obvious provocation, it seemed like Han Min-ah was stung in her own way as she hurriedly placed her hand on her buttocks.

It wouldn’t be very persuasive to pretend like nothing was wrong with her younger siblings and to flutter her tail behind her back. It was obvious that if she really had her tail sticking out she would have been wagging it from side to side.

“These…”

“More than that, Hanmin, don’t you eat? Aren’t you going to go to work with them too? Jina and Suna ate almost everything, but why are you the only one who stayed the same?”

“Oh, really! “I’m going along with what you guys are saying!”

“Eat slowly, you will lose weight.”

“… Victory! As soon as I get there, I’m going to go to the middle of the day!!”

“Yes, yes. “I’ll do the dishes, so eat everything in your mouth and run, man.”

As I wiped away traces of breakfast under running water, I quietly thought about today’s plan in my head.

It was time to start planning in earnest to deal with the two years that tried to take Eunbyeol’s life.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

The first thing I did after washing the dishes after breakfast was, of course, to open the Hunter Sexual Desire Manager system and check the amount of points I had accumulated so far.

In order to deal with Geumhyang Group’s Geumjangmi and Geumdallae sisters, I needed to prepare in my own way, and one of the first things I had to do was raise the level of one of my skills.

『Current awakening points: 3375』

For the past few days, I haven’t been spending any points, only collecting them, so before I knew it, I had already accumulated so many points.

Of course, the level of the skills I was using had risen considerably, so I couldn’t achieve a dramatic rise even with this amount of points, but there was no particular reason to focus on increasing my strength now.

My pure skills had already reached S-class hunter level or higher, and even if I increased my attack-related skills further, it would only be an auxiliary tool for swordsmanship and fire magic.

So now was the time to invest energy in ‘what was most needed.’

Rather than wasting points on particularly harsh areas, they should have invested in the abilities needed to thoroughly defeat Geumhyang’s twin women. So that you don’t end up saying later that you weren’t able to finish it properly.

‘Esilla.’

“This is Esila.”

‘You said that the phantom pain that Golden Rose used last time was blocked by using my purification skill, right?’

“Yes.”

‘If I raise my level further, will it be possible to last longer than 10 seconds?’

“I think it’s possible. However, I cannot predict to what extent the skill level will increase as the skill level increases.”

‘Are you okay. Just the answer that you think is possible is enough.’

I nodded my head in my heart at Esila’s answer and invested more than half of the remaining points into increasing the level of purification.

The 10-second time period was because there was still some element of instability when entering a full-scale battle.

『Purification lv. 3 → Purification lv. 7』

『Current awakening points: 3375 → 1575』

Use 1800 points to rise 4 levels. It wasn’t a bad investment in the sense of making the most of it.

In any case, both Golden Rose and Geumdallae were women who used mental attacks, and thoroughly preparing countermeasures against those methods was the most necessary element for me now.

And, there is another new skill I gained by raising purification to level 7.

『Baptism lv. 1』

It was a skill whose content could not be easily guessed just by hearing the name. Is this a skill that can give something like a baptism of light to undead monsters?

Since there was some doubt in her mind as to what kind of skill it was, Sila quietly stepped in to explain.

“Baptism is an ability similar to permanent protection.”

‘Permanent protection?’

“Yes. For example, if you grant the protection of speed to an opponent through protection, the target will be able to speed up the body’s metabolism and move at high speed, but the speed will only increase temporarily, and when the protection time is used up, it will return again. You will return to your original speed and physical ability.

However, if you grant ‘Swift Baptism’ to the target, the target will permanently have the ability to have a fast metabolism and your existing physical abilities can be permanently strengthened.”

‘What is that…? .’

From what I hear, it’s an amazing ability.

In other words, this one baptism meant that I could permanently increase the physical abilities of myself and those around me.

With this ability, it is possible to permanently increase the abilities of Azure Shield, Golden Trail, or other hunters associated with me…

“There are also side effects to permanently increasing physical abilities. For example, in the case of quick protection that speeds up metabolism, if it is continued for a long period of time, the body’s aging is accelerated and the basic metabolic rate also increases, reducing the body’s efficiency.

And not only in combat situations, but in all daily life, you have to operate with accelerated physical abilities, which can cause inconvenience or cause accidents.”

“…”

“Also, the extent of physical change that can be achieved through the power of baptism is quite low. Even if you receive the same blessing of speed and baptism of speed, the efficiency increased by baptism is only about 10% of the blessing, so you cannot achieve dramatic changes.”

‘Yes, that’s right.’

Well, if it were an ability that only had advantages and no disadvantages in the first place, the protection buffs that had been used so far would have been in vain.

All I know is that it is an ability that has both disadvantages and advantages, so it should be used only when absolutely necessary. Anyway, what’s important now isn’t these additional skills.

‘Esila, what about purification? If Golden Rose tries to attack with phantom pain like before, how much can you block with your current level?’

“First, the purification ability that the previous master had could block it for about 10 seconds. And in the current state, you can gain another 10 seconds by using the newly acquired skill, ‘Noise Canceling’, just before the 10 seconds expires. Here, if you use 『Clear Mind』 To gain 10 more seconds and use 『Recycle』…”

“…”

“Theoretically, the master can block 『False Pain』, The awakening ability of the Golden Rose, without any duration limit.”

‘… Really?’

“Yes. Of course, since this act consumes internal power, it will take until all the master’s internal power is used up, but it has been calculated that if the conditions are met, it can be completely prevented in theory.”

Perfect.

I thought it would be okay to extend the time from 10 seconds to 1 or 2 minutes, but I really liked Esila’s answer that theoretically it could be blocked perfectly.

The fact that Gold Rose is at this level means that she can sufficiently resist even Geumdallae, whose awakening ability is weaker than hers. In the first place, it seemed like all she wanted to do was deal with her weakened opponents with the awakening ability of her golden rose, so it was only natural.

In the first place, there was no way that Geumdallae’s “Fruit of Forgetting” Would work for me, an S-class hunter, but it didn’t hurt that the possibility increased.

Everything was a great achievement thanks to Esila’s presence. If it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t have even thought of a way to block the mental attack of her golden rose with the purification skill.

And the ‘theoretically perfect’ thing that Scylla just said meant that Scylla would use some of her own skills to build her own defense system, so she was expected to receive help again in future battles.

This was the moment when I suddenly felt grateful to her for always supporting me without saying anything, so she quietly expressed her gratitude.

‘Thank you every time, Esila.’

“I’m just doing what I have to do as the master’s SI.”

“Master~! I am?! “I’m always helping my master with various things, right?!”

‘Of course, Bell, thank you too. And you don’t have to worry because from next time, I’ll make sure you’re active too.’

“Ugh~! “I can look forward to it, right?”

‘… Yes, I’m looking forward to it.’

Bell’s Dungeon was going to play a big role in this operation.

It was a place that could not be easily found where people could be confined without restrictions of time and space. In addition, various tools that could be created with the authority of the dungeon manager could be used.

… It will probably be of great help in correcting the habits of those two years.
