Chapter 252 – Kang Seong-Ki, the Strongest Man in Korea (73)

Since I took out the soul extraction tool, the work of three people, Kim Yeon-hwa, Choi Na-ri, and I, has turned to analyzing its mechanism.
Kim Yeon-hwa and Choi Na-ri sighed after taking a look at the device after disassembling it.

“No way.”
“It’s amazing that something like this worked.”

Although it was expected to some extent, the soul extraction device led to Baek Sung-hoon by the South American soul magician organization was made very poorly.
Even if it wasn’t for Kim Yeon-hwa and Choi Na-ri’s harsh criticism, I also had the ability to analyze hunter equipment.
As they said, it had a very simple structure.

The core of the operating principle was to amplify mana by stimulating it.
This is the same principle used for all hunter equipment and weapons.
In other words, to amplify the mana of the hunter and make the power of the ability and skill stronger.

Therefore, only those with enough soul mage abilities could use this device.
As Oksana points out, true spiritists don’t need these devices.
The organization in South America seemed to have confirmed that Baek Sung-hoon had some ability and handed him this tool.
In other words, when considering the situation in various ways, it was found that they were only trying to use Baek Seong-hun.
They took him in, got him tattooed on his head, and made him play a role in distributing vicious drugs.

Recalling that Baek Seong-hoon was not such a stupid or unprincipled person, it could be said that the skill of the South American soul magician organization using his greed was good, rather than Baek Sung-hoon being manipulated.

At the same time, I had this thought.
Doubts that they would give up completely just because he died, if the work they put into Korea using Baek Seong-hoon was considerable.
How would they come out if they knew that it was I who foiled their plans.

It seemed necessary to analyze the ability of soul magic at least in order to prepare for an unfortunate event that would happen due to them someday.

Of course, the soul extraction tool did not simply have the ability to amplify mana.
A little bit of a unique skill was added to express the spirit art.

Our job was to develop the technology unique to this device and create a proper soul extraction tool.

“My brother can use it.”

Choi Na-ri said.

“How about making it into a weapon and using it in a dungeon?”
“In the dungeon?”
“Yes, with this same principle, it would be possible to remove the power of monsters. They also have mana by default. I think it would be a great weapon if I could remove harmful mana and pick out and absorb only the ones that are beneficial to the hunter.”

Nari Choi’s idea was groundbreaking.
If there was such a thing, it would be very helpful.
In other words, without a healing potion or mana potion, he might be able to display his abilities infinitely.
If there is any decent mana from monsters, it will expand and boost my abilities, just like absorbing mana through human hunters.

“The one downside is that not everyone can use this weapon.”

Engineer Kim Yeon-hwa said.

“So I am more motivated. I’m making weapons just for my man.”
“Oh my sister~ Are you my man? You belong to all of us.”
“Yeah, that’s right. All of us!”

Kim Yeon-hwa and Choi Na-ri looked at what was funny and laughed.

It was an embarrassing moment, but more important than that was the weapon to be completed in the future.
I’ll have to do some more research on what form it will take, but it will be a great weapon when completed.
As Kim Yeon-hwa said, a weapon that only I can use in the world.

Other soul mages, including Oksana, will be difficult to use.
Even though my unique ability has something in common with the spirit mage’s ability, it’s not exactly the same.
Simply put, my unique ability was a much higher level ability.
A near-invincible ability that has never been blocked by anything.
Under such a premise, it was to develop weapons using soul magic.

We started developing weapons with enthusiasm right away.

Han Cheol-gwan contacted Kim Hyeon-cheol after meeting with Park Hyeon-joon.
If Park Hyeon-joon had such a story, I thought that Kim Hyeon-chul would too.
It was the same with Seo Na-yeon.
He regarded Seo Na-yeon as the easiest S-class hunter to deal with.
Contrary to her outward appearance, her personality is cool, so she laughs at her tolerable mistakes.
She was the kind of woman who rarely asked for anything to be done.

However, there was no reply from the woman who contacted her before Kim Hyun-chul, so she called her next opponent, Kim Hyun-chul.

– Oh, bro.

Hyunchul Kim answered the phone in a tone that was not much different from usual.

“I have something urgent to tell you. Do you have time?”

Han Cheol-gwan basically spoke plain language to Kim Hyeon-cheol.
It was when Kim Hyeon-cheol awakened that he was a minor.
Even then, Kwan Cheol Han was a high-ranking civil servant, so we had a chance to meet him, because even if he was an S-class hunter, he couldn’t raise his words against minors.

However, he regretted that at that time he had to draw more lines and say honorifics to Kim Hyun-cheol.
Kim Hyeon-chul called him his older brother and treated him as if he were friendly, but sometimes when his nerves were twisted, he would show a 180 degree change of attitude.
Whenever that happened, Kwan Cheol Han had to put his chest on hold.
Although he is young, he has a villainous temperament comparable to Jo Dong-geun.
Maybe it’s because I woke up when I was young, but there are places where I’m more comfortable.

He didn’t know where he would bounce, and his growth rate was unusually fast for an S-rank.
Everyone in Jongnae agreed that he would become the number two after Jo Dong-geun.

Like Park Hyun-joon, he showed a gloomy appearance without any noticeable activities recently.
Han Cheol-gwan didn’t want to be involved as much as possible, so he left it alone, but now he can’t.
In fact, when he thought he had to gather the rest of the S-class hunters and remove the strong character, what he expected the most was Kim Hyeon-cheol’s ability.
Jo Dong-geun also praised Kim Hyeon-cheol’s ability from time to time.
He said that his performance in the dungeon was unrivaled, and he made a remark that acknowledged others, which was rare for him.

Normally, he would have answered quickly whether or not he could meet him, but today he was somewhat hesitant.
He spoke over the phone, which had been silent as if he was thinking about something.

– Then let’s call Hyeon-jun hyung too. Because we have something to say together.
“Hyeonjun too?”
– Yes, I’ll contact you and set a time and text you, so come over there.
“Okay”

I didn’t know why Kim Hyeon-cheol asked to call Park Hyeon-joon as well.
But Han Cheol-gwan thought it was good.
It was something we all had to share anyway.
He had already talked well with Park Hyeon-joon, so he seemed to be able to prevent Kim Hyeon-chul from running out of control.

After hanging up the phone, I got a call from Seo Na-yeon this time.

– Secretary, did you call?
“Yes, Hunter. I have contacted you because I have something to discuss.”
– Discuss? What?
“I just talked to Hunter Kim Hyun-cheol. Hunter Park Hyeon-joon also decided to meet, so how about we get together and talk?”
– Yes?

Seo Na-yeon, like Kim Hyeon-chul, was also silent for a while.

– Okay. Text me when you make an appointment.
“All right.”

The appointment to meet with Seo Na-yeon and Kim Hyun-cheol was decided.
Han Cheol-gwan thought it was fortunate that everything seemed to be going smoothly.

It would be nice to meet Choi Seung-chul and Lee Tae-gil together, but Seo Na-yeon, Kim Hyeon-cheol, and Park Hyeon-joon had a sense of distance from them.
Wouldn’t that be a group to hang out with?

In any case, it was necessary to gather opinions as soon as possible and come up with a plan.
Because now that Kang Sung-ki and his gang are in the dungeon is an opportunity.
It was clear that once they finished the attack and the results began to be known, nothing would work.

He, too, had many enemies.
Politicians who know his true face are interfering in every case, and there were also reputable candidates for the next minister who came up from below.

It was clear that when the strong fighters started to stand out, they would stick to it and push themselves.

Golden time.
He was approaching a time he could not do anything about.

I never dreamed that the dungeon privatization law, which I thought would be passed much more easily, would be twisted in this way.
Even now, he could quietly let go of his hands and collect the small profits that would serve as his pension until the end of his term, but considering the enormous wealth that privatization of dungeons would bring, he couldn’t bear it.
Great wealth will continue to flow in until the day you die.
If you think about it, he was the one who thought he could do anything.

“It’s done!”

Kim Yeon-hwa, Choi Na-ri, and I worked well past dinner time until ten o’clock at night.
So, in the end, the weapon dedicated to soul magic that Nari Choi came up with was completed.

In fact, the shape is still not convincing and there are still many details to be worked on, but anyway, it was great to make this in half a day.

It was a rather unique type of weapon.

It is worn on the forearm and is the length from the wrist to the elbow.
It was made to be able to emit mana, so it gave the feeling of a gun.
However, to be precise, it did not attack the opponent by shooting mana, but played a role in absorbing the opponent’s mana.

Unlike the crude mana extraction device Baek Sung-hun had, it was also equipped with a mana purification system that filtered out the impure parts.
