Chapter 373
Episode 373:
Berserker has a special charm.
The kind of charm that makes you want to beat him up just by looking at him.
Could it be that he was a punching bag in his past life?
It’s also a very tasty punching bag.
As he continued to think this way, he erased his shocked expression and smiled weakly. Then he greeted me with an awkward face that did not seem the slightest sign of welcome.
“I believed you would come back safely.”
“Why did you manage to come back alive and be disappointed?”
“No, that can’t be possible.”
“I guess what I thought was right.”
“It’s been a while so I guess I’m overly sensitive. “I can firmly say that your prediction was wrong.”
“okay? “Then let’s put it that way.”
I also had no intention of arguing with Berserker over trivial matters.
Anyway, there’s a lot of things to ask about this guy.
“You defeated the black hound?”
“I got lucky too. He let his guard down and I was desperate. “It was the game that decided the difference.”
“What if I join now?”
“It’s half and half. And as time goes by, I will be able to dominate.”
It was not appropriate to compare people to dead people, but it also meant that Berserker was getting stronger in real time.
It has a great talent that gets stronger the more it is beaten.
I asked Berserker outright.
“Did you win with full recovery?”
“…I was lucky.”
“Is it thanks to the complete recovery?”
“All I can say is that I was lucky.”
“You won with full recovery.”
“….”
I thought so.
Perhaps because Blackhound was caught off guard, they exchanged fatal attacks and had a 99.9% chance of winning with full recovery.
Well, if you win, you win.
I went into it after considering other aspects.
“How did an already used gift come back to life? “Why did you keep it a secret from me?”
“Hmm.”
“Is that a secret too?”
“It’s not even a secret. I also found out by chance. “Until then, all I had was a small doubt.”
“….”
“It’s true. You know that too, right? Full recovery was used and lost because of you. And I thought the gift had expired. But it worked by chance.”
“Even though I don’t know much about it, I think I used it properly when I got close to the black hound.”
“I believed in it because my recovery was better than usual. It’s true.”
The way he continued speaking in an urgent tone was not very trustworthy.
“Gifts are still uncharted territory, so something like that could happen.”
“thank you for understanding.”
“It’s up to understanding.”
Berserker seems to be completely under the impression that I just let him go, but he will soon realize that.
It is unprecedented for a gift that has already been used to come back to life, such as his complete recovery.
But if you say it’s impossible, it’s not.
Because Berserker proved that. And what I found out while obtaining the Hell Master’s instant death technique supported this.
“More than that, how serious were your injuries that it took a year for you to come back?”
“After all, it’s an instant death gift. “The aftermath was not easy.”
“Not even the Gift called Absolute Death could kill you.”
To be exact, only the hematoma was killed. And in his place, I was able to take full control of blood feeding.
No, more accurately, it was safe to say that it was recreated.
After gaining instant death, blood feeding disappeared.
And while trying to obtain the Hell Master’s instant death, I was able to encounter the true essence of a divine beast.
Instant Death, the gift possessed by the Hell Master, was a kind of divine beast itself.
Where did gifts come from?
The secret has not yet been revealed. However, what is clear is that it is related to the system that builds the world, and Shinsoo is capable of modifying or partially creating that system.
In my attempt to obtain instant death, I clashed with Shinsoo’s will, and in the process, I received a great shock once again, worsening my injury.
But it wasn’t just losses.
By destroying the instant death mechanism, I came to understand the principle of the gift and was able to successfully revive the extinguished blood feeding.
“Like full recovery, used gifts can also be revived.”
“Really?”
“And the person concerned knows best that it is possible.”
“….”
Berserker’s mouth closed again.
Even so, there is no way to avoid the facts at hand.
“You said you used full recovery while fighting Black Hound, right? That means there was a trace left on you. “If you stimulate it, you can use it again.”
“Is it true?”
“Strictly speaking, it has run out of power like a battery, but it has not completely disappeared.”
And as time passes and the energy is filled, it can be activated again.
Of course, this is only a theory and needs further confirmation.
I’m thinking of checking it out right now.
“let’s go.”
“huh?”
“I need to see if I can get the gift back. “Did you really plan on just watching?”
From now on, I plan to work on bringing Berserker back to full recovery. Once full recovery is restored, you can just copy it.
The guy’s face became thoughtful.
“Now wait a minute. “Aren’t you relieved of your anger?”
“What are you angry about? “I’m mad at you?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Is there any need to feel bad about that since it is not a child? This is for you and me. Reviving a gift that is like an extra life.”
Defeating Berserker with my personal feelings and thinking about how to restore him to full recovery are completely different things.
Of course, beating Berserker is the same.
I took Berserker, who had a nervous expression on his face, and dragged him to the training room.
“First, let’s maximize our survival instinct.”

After hanging out with Berserker, I stopped by Jin Se-jeong and had a quick chat.
“Superman! Just say the word! I will support you so that you can take revenge to your heart’s content! So what kind of revenge do you want? Extermination type? Torture type?”
After saying no, Jin Se-jeong seemed to have accumulated a lot over the years, and her eyes lit up as she said she would give me the image of an avenger who returned from hell.
I declined because I had more important things to do right now.
Jin Se-jeong became motivated once again when he heard that he would go to meet Lee Se-hee about the schedule later.
I was able to return home after suppressing the situation by saying that I would come back when the schedule was announced.
I thought that one year had brought about a lot of change.
“Who have you been meeting?”
Yoon-hee approached me and made a strange noise when she said that she had not met only Lee Se-hee.
“You came without Sehee? “Sehee must be upset.”
“Because that’s the main place.”
“That’s true. “It’s already causing chaos everywhere.”
He is in his mid-20s and is the leader of the guild ranking, the number one business leader in Korea.
She is beautiful, has great abilities, and is decidedly unmarried.
Yunhee explained that it was natural for people to turn on their eyes and attack from all directions.
“It would be great to have him as an ally, but even if he was an enemy, he could never be left alone. I mean, we have to do it somehow. “Sehee’s abilities are that amazing.”
“How about the Sacred Guild?”
“we? Why us all of a sudden?”
Yunhee, who was talking excitedly, took a alert stance.
“What.”
“Can your brother’s blade reach our guild? “Are you going to kill them all?”
I didn’t understand how the thinking circuit was formed to say things like this.
Either way, Yunhee let her imagination run wild.
“Wow, I thought our guild would last forever, but the road to ruin was right next to us.”
“If that’s your wish, will you really do it?”
“No, no, it’s a joke. Oh, I’m so scared that I can’t even joke. “It’s all a joke, so please take a look.”
“Okay, tell me about the atmosphere in the Holy Guild.”
“Although there are a few who have different opinions, most are on Sehee’s side. I’ve been used to her ways since she started working at the guild. In fact, no one in the group showed off their abilities every time the parachute came down for anything. So, we all hope that Sehee does well.”
“If the Holy Guild supports it, Lee Se-hee’s position will never be shaken, right?”
“Not that again. Although the guild is a real force, internal internal strife cannot be resolved through force. Chaebol families have their own fights.”
Yoonhee brags as if she knows something, but the more complex and abstract she says, the less tangible it becomes.
“Even so, it collapses in front of actual power.”
“No one has ideas like you. “I have no intention of inciting it either.”
“I was wrong?”
“No, I’m saying I don’t have the ability to do things like my brother.”
When Yunhee said that, she spoke as if she was mocking herself, so she had to pause for a moment.
I guess I felt quite helpless while looking at the situation Lee Se-hee was in…
“At times like this, I should have been like my brother, strong and reckless to the point of ignorance.”
[As expected, she is a younger sister. [I am seeing my brother properly.]
Yongyong’s repeated admiration also got on my nerves.
“Shall we fight?”
“Ah, that’s what you’re saying. Don’t you know how to ventilate the atmosphere? “Create the atmosphere!”
“Don’t go somewhere and ventilate the atmosphere.”
Then, if I meet the owner, it could be over.
“That’s strange. Everyone says my stories are interesting.”
I guess I picked up the wrong habits just because he was my younger brother.
When I said out loud that it wasn’t fun, a few words came out of my mouth.
In the end, Yunhee put aside her playful tone and spoke to me with a serious expression.
“Anyway, it’s entirely your fault that this happened.”
“Is it my fault if I do something?”
“If my brother had come back safely, this wouldn’t have happened, right? I want my brother to always be healthy and strong. “I’m worried that something like this is happening.”
You’re worried about this too, right?
“You caused unnecessary worry.”
It was an undeniable fact that I had caused concern to those around me, so I accepted it obediently.
“So, brother, please save Sehee.”
Instead of answering, I nodded.
Yunhee, who saw my reaction, also looked much more at ease.
“You said chaebols have their own ways, right?”
“huh.”
“I solve it my way.”
The result of whose way is right will come when both ways collide.
[You’re saying you’re going to destroy everything.]
If you want to stop it, you can use force.
If you were stronger than me, you would stop it.

The day when the sacred song party is held.
I quietly went to see Jin Se-jeong.
The place we met was not where the team office was, but at a VIP corner of a department store in Gangnam.
From the entrance, it was a place where you could shop privately by entering a different area from other customers.
Jin Se-jeong’s argument was that if you want to attend the party, you have to look absolutely killer in your attire.
“I also completely support your method!”
As Jin Se-jeong spoke, a fire was burning brightly in his eyes.
It seems like a lot has accumulated over the years.
They said that if it wasn’t for Lee Se-hee’s help and Yoon-hee’s support, the team might have disbanded.
Who would rather disband someone else’s team?
I was away for a moment, but there were too many people in the world running wild without knowing their subject.
“Those who dared to expose their teeth to the Adept must be punished.”
For the first time, our thoughts agree.
Jin Se-jung fully supported my opinion.
“I will decorate it in the best way. “Everyone would say it’s the coolest!”
Does that have anything to do with showing examples?
“Yes, there is! “You trust me, right? All you have to do is follow me!”
