Chapter 318 – Blessed Powers

After Amy’s visit, Ha-jin began to think again about the fusion of traits that had been put on hold for a few days because her head hurt.
That means Hajin killed James and hasn’t acquired any traits yet.
And because of that, James was facing all kinds of humiliation, losing all his strength.

The system was in the process of sealing all of James’s characteristics until Ha-jin finished selecting his characteristics, and such a penalty was not limited to the characteristics, but also sealed James’ stats, which are very basic powers.
This was the system’s consideration for those who won the opportunity to choose a trait, not those who died and came back to life.

I haven’t even decided which trait to choose yet, because the dead could be reanimated and take away their inherent right and freedom of choice.

“So you’re saying that James’ powers only go back to him when he chooses a trait?”
“Yes.”
“Wow! Then, if your brother doesn’t choose, will James have to live like that for the rest of his life? Who was that strong?”
“That’s it.”
“Oh my god… “

After Amy passed away, the women squatted in front of Hajin with Hajin sitting on the sofa in her living room, her eyes twinkling.
Of course, Kim Hyun-joon and Kim Ji-hoon were also deeply troubled with Ha-jin without returning home.
Rather than thinking alone, I felt like I could make a clear decision without feeling a little more uncomfortable if a group of people thought about it.

“These are too many qualities for you to possess.”
“Wow… I’m really worried about this… But honestly, isn’t the reason why my older brother and James are as strong as monsters is that they can have stats that go up to 300 and two more characteristics than others? So, I think it would be nice if I thought about it neatly, excluding the demon lord’s armor?”
“Hmm… “

Ha Jin confirms the three characteristics floating in front of Kim Ji-hoon’s words once again.

『The Demon King’s Armor (SSS)-The absolute power of the Demon King’s arms. Recovers all injuries and status ailments as long as life is not cut off. Defense +500%, Stamina +300%, All Resistances +100%, Damage Reduction +200%, Pain Suppression, Body Regeneration.』

『Shinigami (SSS) – Strength +100%, Speed ​​+100%. All stats increase through slaughter (except Luck). 〈 Stat increase: +0, Progress: 0%〉』

『Blessed Talent (SSS) – You can possess two additional characteristics. With a blessed talent, you can instantly use the opponent’s movements and characteristics.』

Among the total of six characteristics that can be fused, these are the three characteristics that Ha Jin is considering as candidates.
It’s a trait that’s too precious to throw away either one.
As Kim Ji-hoon said, the reason why Hajin and James could have much stronger power than others was because they could possess two additional characteristics with Shinigami, but the power of the Devil’s Armor was too precious to give up easily.

“Brother, I am the opposite.”
“Why?”
“Your brother is already strong enough. So, I think it’s better to make a safe choice than to become stronger now. I know you have high resilience, but even then you could get injured that you shouldn’t. In such a situation, if Dasol is not there or even Dasol cannot heal you, the power of the demon king’s armor will save your brother.”
“Hmm… That’s true too…”

Ha Jin, who furrowed her brows with a more disturbed expression at Ju Ha’s words, who directly refuted Kim Ji-hoon’s words, became more complicated in her head at the advice pouring in from here and there afterwards.
She hoped to be able to come up with a clear answer, but it was the same choice that other people were worried about as much as Hajin was worried.

“Then why don’t you think about risk?”
“Risk?”

Yeo Min-jung, who received everyone’s attention, including Ha-jin, continued her words while slightly pulling her body back.

“Doctors also have meetings before surgery. Like which surgical method is better for the patient and which is safer for the patient. And no matter how good it is for the patient, I don’t do risky surgery with a low success rate. It is common to choose a safe operation with a high success rate.”
“So?”
“… Are you making a fuss?”
“I am asking.”
“Ummm..! Sorry, I’ve been a bit sharp because of your behavior.”
“No. All old virgins do, well. I understand.”
“… This is a fight, right?”
“Uh.”
“This is real..!! If someone tries to help, don’t argue with them and thank them!!”
“Sister, calm down and start talking.”
“It’s not even a day or two that he does that. Be patient.”

With the help of Minseo and Nayeon, who soothed her by her side, Minjeong Yeo let out a deep breath and calmed her down, then continued her words.

“High risk high return. That’s what doctors hate most. Doctors dealing with human life do not welcome risks.”
“Weekly weekday… It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but he talks at a very long time…”
“… “
“Brother! Be quiet and listen!”
“Hajin, it was you who asked for help.”
“You idiot, just listen! Even an old virgin is a doctor!”
“… Those words just hurt. Diana, you were gross.”
“Sorry, sister. Hehe~ So what do you think would be a good choice for you?”

Yeo Min-jeong, who was glaring at Diana for hurting herself while reprimanding Ha-jin for her, shortened her introduction and talked about her main point.

“Blessed talent, good quality. I know the country is good too. But what if you fuse traits and the number of traits you can have doesn’t change? Isn’t that the worst choice out of the three?”
“… Yes.”
“It is the same with the Shinigami. What if you fused a talent and you can no longer raise your stats at 200? Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to fuse other characteristics that receive high physical ability buffs?”
“… That too.”
“Wait a minute, sister. Then, the same goes for the Demon King’s armor.”
“That is different.”
“Why? What’s different?”

Yeo Min-jung sighed at Min-seo’s question and pointed her finger at Ha-jin, who was sitting on her sofa with her face full of distrust.

“He’s already done a talent fusion once. And the result was a great success. Why did she say it was a big success?”
“Therefore… Does it have exactly the characteristics you think it has?”
“… “

Blessed Instinct born from the fusion of a Blessed Hero and Hell’s Instinct.
As Min-seo said, the characteristics that Ha-jin thought were created, but what Yeo Min-jung wanted to say was why such a result was created.

“Ha… Yes, that’s right The most characteristic ability of each of the two characteristics was maintained, and the ideal characteristics that he wanted were created. Do you see what I mean?”
“Ah… Therefore… The most characteristic strength is maintained even after characteristic fusion?”
“Yes. However, the Shinigami and Blessed Talents have the characteristics they possess and the most characteristic part overlap each other. But if you want to fuse with other characteristics, there is a penalty if you fuse SSS class? Then, when the good powers conflict with each other and create obvious characteristics that are neither one nor the other, it’s the worst. So the Devil’s Armor would be the best choice. At least if the body doesn’t regenerate or die, the power to heal injuries and wounds will definitely remain.”
“Ohh~ sister, the best!”
“What is this?”

Minseo, whose eyes twinkled as she lifted her pair of thumbsticks, and Minjeong Yeo, whose shoulders were lifted by the applause around her, made a haughty expression, and Hajin also nodded her head.

“So avoid high risk high return?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, I’ve decided!”
“Then are you choosing the armor of the demon lord?”
“No, blessed talent.”
“… “
“… “
“… “

The moment the living room became silent and Yeo Min-jung’s cry burst out.

“What did you hear me say?!”
“I’m different from the clumsy doctors. And it’s not like my life was at stake. So, you should take a gamble.”
“Under… This idiot is for real..!”
“Hyung, but why are you blessed with talent? Wouldn’t it be much better if I chose the Shinigami and my stats went up to 500?”
“Well, you have to do the calculations to get the correct answer, but it’s good to have more than you can~ And… Well, anyway, I just need to check.”
“What confirmation?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Don’t talk to me because it’s annoying. Then everyone have fun~ I’m leaving~~”

So she eventually made her own decision and left her house. Hajin moved to downtown Melbourne and spread her blessed instincts the most, and as she got closer to downtown Melbourne, she moved along with Amy’s energy. .
So she arrived at the best hotel in Melbourne.

“Hmm… Good? Shall I live here too?”

Ha-jin muttered to herself what the residents would be frightened of when they heard it, and started to go up the elevator that was still in operation. She opened the elevator door and ran out into the hallway where she felt Amy’s energy.
And Paul, who has already felt her aura and is waiting at her door.

“The rumors were true.”
“What rumors are you talking about?”
“That Amy lives with both you and James.”
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you are looking for.”
“Or leave. Because you don’t care.”
“… “

Ha-jin, who pushed Paul aside and just pulled out the handle on the locked door, went inside and tilted her head as she watched James sitting on the sofa in her living room and being treated for her wounds by Amy.

“What are you doing? Are the allied forces not treating you anymore?”
“James just refuses.”
“Why?”
“… I’m going to start all over again…”
“You boring bastard. Judging by the slow response, you think the same as me.”
“… “

She couldn’t refute anything, but Amy, who had just finished the treatment by putting on the bandage she had been putting on, squatted down and raised her body.

“By the way, what’s going on at this hour?”
“I got a request from you, but I couldn’t get a favor from that bastard who was more desperate than you.”
“Yes?”
“Hey, James. Kneel down in front of me and bow your head as you ask. Please give me back my strength, Kang Ha-jin.”
“Hey!!”
“Strong Hajin!!”
“… “

Unlike Amy and Paul, who were furious at Ha-jin’s words, James just stared at him with a calm gaze.

“No? Then you won’t give it back for the rest of your life? It’s me, it’s enough if I don’t fuse one characteristic~”
“Does not matter.”
“Oh~ Are you arrogant? Does it really matter?”
“Does not matter. If it were me, I would make the same choice.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I am dangerous to you. It’s only natural that I won’t give back my power. So just start again from the beginning.”
“… “

Hajin’s eyes widened slightly at James’ words and her mouth opened slightly.
It was like the expression on the face of a person whose thoughts were caught, but…

“I’m sorry. Why are you so dangerous to me Ah, it bothered me a little that you bothered to fight. But now you won’t I’m sure he’s not a stupid bastard who’ll fight again after he’s searched for it once.”
“… “

James’ eyes trembled as if he was shaken by Ha-jin’s words.
Due to his own wrong choice, he fought Ha Jin, and as a result, he experienced his second death and lost all his powers.
To James, Hajin, even though he was one of her strongest rivals, was quite mentally shocked when Hajin evaluated him as just a little annoying and annoying.

“Well, that’s it. Anyway, what I said earlier is a joke.”
“… What’s the joke? After all, you are dangerous to me too… “
“What do you keep saying, you bastard. Rather than that, I mean get down on your knees and bow your head. I’m not that childish. So, I will give you back your power now.”
“… “
“I-really?!”
“Thanks! Thank you so much, Hajin!!”
“Why are you here?! Let go of this! Just go?!”

Amy and Paul, who had been shaking Ha-jin’s hands one by one at the threat of leaving, quickly let go of her hands and fell beside her, and James finally got up from sitting.

“What the hell are you thinking?”
“What?”
“Are you saying you want me to regain my strength? Without any condition or thought?”
“What else do I have to think about? I’m worried about what characteristics to fuse, it just doesn’t matter if you regain your power or not. And if it’s a condition, you’ve already seen a deal with Amy, so you just have to stand there.”
“… “

James is at a loss for words at Hajin’s words.
And the words of Ha-jin spit out.

“A fusion of blessed instinct and blessed talent.”

[The attribute selection is complete.]
[Trait, Blessed Talent (SSS) and Talent, Blessed Instinct (SSS) are fused.]
[Attribute fusion has been completed.]
[Acquire the characteristic, Blessed Power (SSS).]

Ha-jin confirms her newly acquired traits with a face full of anticipation as she rubs her hands against the message window that pops up in front of her eyes.

『Blessed Power (SSS) – You can possess three additional characteristics. With blessed power, you can feel everything and instantly use the opponent’s movements and characteristics.』

“Nice..! Kkeuk..!!”
“… “
“… “
“… “

The three of them got a foreboding feeling from seeing Hajin struggling to hold back the sudden outburst of laughter.
Perhaps because of the fusion of two SSS-class traits, the physical ability buff attached to Blessed Instinct disappeared as a penalty for it, but three additional traits could be possessed, and at the same time, the power of Blessed Instinct and Blessed Talent was kept as is.
It wasn’t the best scenario Hajin thought, but the result was satisfactory enough.

And Ha-jin, who confirmed the result with his own eyes, and James, whose powers sealed by the system returned and restored all characteristics and stats except for the blessed talent, met Ha-jin, whose mouth corners were grotesquely raised, and her eyes met, and her body trembled.
No, I trembled spontaneously.
By his primal instincts.

Hehe…!!”
“Go, Kang Ha-jin… “
“What are you looking at stupidly?Hee hee..!!”

Ha Jin stopped talking and covered his mouth with both hands.
This was a minimal courtesy to Amy, who was watching right next to her.
And Ha-jin, who suppressed the laughter that burst out as much as possible and removed his hands from his mouth…

“Give me another one right now, you bastard~!!”
“Aww!!!!!”

Whoaaaaa!!!!!
Kwagagagagagang!!!!!
