Lord of the Skill

Yi Docheon

“Hmm.”

Heatless opened the doors to his office that had been converted into a conference room. It's been a long time since I've been in a room, but it's always been organized so I don't feel like I've left.

There was still a large round table, and the people who followed the heatless sat there one by one.

“How long has Jo Tae-woong been coming to Trammel? ”

“It wasn't that long ago. You were here about a week ago. ”

“Did he come alone? ”

“No, you've come with about 100 people. In fact, Philippe Roen, who was guarding the gates, was also at odds with him. ”

Lacan Bejas gave a detailed answer to a feeble question.

Cho Tae-woong twitched his lip and said.

“Hmph, I have a lot of mouths to speak for myself, but you didn't have to come to me. ”

Heatless laughs lightly at his words.

“There are things to check. Jo Tae-woong, there are lots of things I want to ask you, so please wait a little longer. ”

After saying that, he looked at Hyuk-soo Choi.

“Have you made any progress on investigating Lee Jin-jin's whereabouts? I don't think he went south. ”

“Yes, we're sending three dispatches up north to investigate, but there's nothing to do about it. So I was wondering where he might have died... ”

Choi Hyuk-soo who answered looked at Jo Tae-woong slightly.

Those who know the existence of LEE Jeongjin are probably the three people here, including Hyuk-soo Choi.

After the disaster darkness, the fever that had originally confirmed that Jungjin's stronghold had disappeared, was told to find Jungjin through Choi Hyuk-soo after Trammel stabilized.

‘It was a mistake not to deal with it first. In a way, this is the most unsettling element.... ’

Since then, many things have happened, so I regret not being able to stand up straight.

‘However, no matter how good a person as Cho Tae-woong was defeated by Lee Jeongjin.... ’

Heatless eyes shed a little.

Lee Jeongjin is the brother of Lee Kang-ho, who was the most powerful man in the human army, but he stopped at B rank at most in his previous life.

It was also because the difference was obvious that heat was left to Cho Tae-woong to deal with Lee Jung-jin.

“Now it's your turn to check it out. Jo Tae-woong, was that arm caused by LEE Jeong-jin? ”

“That's right."

The feverish man once again frowned.

“Was LEE Jeongjin that strong? Enough to cut off your arm? ”

“No.”

“What does that mean? ”

The ambiguous answer I did not understand was "feeble" again.

“But that doesn't make me weak. To be precise...... he has a strange ability. ”

“Weird abilities? ”

“I was sure I was out of stamina, but then I was suddenly revived. Moreover, for a short while, all abilities became unbearably strong. ”

There was one fever that struck his mind at that moment.

‘Heart strategy'. ’

One of the gladiators' abilities isn't perfect, but it did have that effect.

Shin Muhwazeng ( ❗).

‘Lee Kang-ho has been trained. But I didn't think I'd get it so early.... ’

Heat free has gained many skills and Hidden Statuses to date, but has not yet mastered proficiency.

Deep Law is said to raise all abilities related to your body and attack skills if you learn it differently.

But no one knows how to get the cardinal law.

In my previous life, there were only four cardinal laws known for 15 years, such as Shin Muhwa Gyeongho of Lee and Jeong Jingyeong-gyeong of Sword.

‘Lee Kang-ho died and LEE Jin-jin must have cooked it. ’

The fever gives strength to the fist without even knowing it.

If I hadn't killed Lee Gang-ho then....

It was to confirm once again that he was the greatest enemy of all.

“ ……. ”

“But it's just a precaution. I was confident that the next time I saw him, I wouldn't lose. But……. ”

“But?”

“It's not because of him that this arm was cut off. He had a strange ability, but it wasn't enough to blow my arm off. ”

Heatless nods at his words.

"The effects of the cardiogram are not quantifiable. That's why even if you learn it right now, it doesn't make you incredibly strong. In the end, his attacking skills are derived only from the power he possesses. ’

Then why?

Cho Tae-woong slowly said as if he had checked the question he felt in the eyes of the fever.

“This was done by the man behind him. ”

“Behind?”

“That……. I think Lee Jin-jin is stuck with Reynolds. ”

Hyuk-soo carefully opened his mouth.

“So it was done by that arm, Ray Reynolds. ”

“It's embarrassing... but yes. I was going to bring Jeongjin to Trammel. When I found out what happened during my recovery time, he was with Shen. Rather, I was defeated by the station. I have nothing to say. ”

“No, you said that, but the 100 people that Jo Tae-woong brought with him are all talented together. It was enough to support Trammel's power. ”

On behalf of Cho Tae-woong speaking with a bitter expression, Lacan Bezath said.

“No matter how powerful the country was, there was nothing I could do about him under Reynolds' authority. But I couldn't come here empty-handed. ”

Jo Tae-woong brought them together by consolidating some of the parts he encountered on his way to Trammel in his power.

“It's not very high-ranking, but there are a few useful ones. Chuckler told Lacan about it, so he should be fine now. ”

“Really?"

“Yes, you say that, but overall, they're good soldiers. Those who have survived so far have proven their worth. ”

“Philippe.”

“Yes, why? ”

When Philip Roen returned from the training ground after hearing news of the return of the feeble, he asked with a kind smile as he called out to himself.

“Are you retarded, you. ”

“ ……?! ”

However, the answer to that smile surprised everyone in the office, as well as Philip Roen, who was a party to the feeble words.

“W-what do you mean? ”

“I thought I told you I was keeping Trammel safe while I was gone. ”

“Yes, I still haven't forgotten. ”

“Do you think my orders are so vain? Or do you think you can't hit Trammel with a hundred men at most? ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. Tell me the truth. ”

Philip Roen's expression stiffens.

He quickly understood the meaning of inferiority as his head, but at a long reunion, his cold actions were unacceptable as his heart.

“It's not just Philip Roen. Hyuk-soo Choi, Laskan Bezas, Eun-su Choi. You are in charge of Trammel's inner circle. ”

The feeble spoke by the name of the three. The three of them darkened as they were called by their names.

“Jo Tae-woong and a hundred troops he brought with him. Have you never once doubted that the force belongs to Reynolds? ”

“ ……!!! ”

At that moment.

Everyone looks like they took a punch at the words of fever.

“W-what are you talking about!! Now look at my arm and tell me! This is from him! ”

“How can I trust you? ”

“…… what? ”

“What if you were injured by something else and someone healed you? It's not even close to LEE Jin-jin in the first place, and maybe you're just as good a person as anyone under his command. ”

Kuaaang!!!

Cho Tae-woong slapped the table with all his might.

Despite being made of solid steel, the table is completely depressed with just one punch.

“Crazy…!! Hey, you. Say that again. Do I look like I'm going under them?! ”

However, unlike the ageing Cho Tae-woong, his feeble attitude was still cold.

“Lock him up. Until it's confirmed. ”

“Heavy heat!!!! ”

There were no happy reunions.

The news that Jo Tae-woong has been imprisoned will soon be known throughout Trammel.

In the ears of a hundred men who came with him.

And the news will flow back to the continent through their mouths.

Rumors spread faster than light.

* * *

Ta-da, ta-da.

You hear only the sound of the torch burning in the dungeon.

Influential. Influential.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You hear the sound of chewing food in a commotion that doesn't suit a quiet prison.

“Eww."

After giving a cool trim, the man in the bowl who wiped his mouth with the back of his hand was surprisingly Cho Tae-woong.

“Is this all right? ”

“Yes."

“I really…. I can't believe you had me do something so weird as soon as I met you. Before meeting in the office, I knew it was an act if Choi Hyuk-soo didn't tell me beforehand. You really hate him. ”

There was another one in prison.

The man who imprisoned himself.

It was a strong fever.

However, it was a funny face, not a very angry face, even when he saw him.

Rich meals are not suitable for prisoners in prison, but they already come from his mouth.

“Three days now? If you think you have to be patient for a week... Well, that's frustrating, but thanks to you, you can eat as much as you want or not bad. ”

“It will take some time for the rumors to spread. Hang in there, 'cause you're gonna have to hear it in his ear.

“I know. ”

He pounds his belly and smiles bloody.

Everything was planned.

When I arrived at Trammel and met Jo Tae-woong, I was surprised for a brief moment that the seamless mind moved rapidly.

“There's something you need to do, Jo Tae-woong. ”

“What's that? ”

“Build your own army. Free troops that are free of any force, unstoppable and can go anywhere. ”

“ ……!! ”

Cho Tae-woong frowned at the words of fever.

That was a surprise.

Those who seek the throne in the Seven Thrones will never be pleased with the rise of power other than themselves.

Especially if he's strong enough to take his place.

“Did you mean it? Ha... Funny. ”

Who is Jo Tae-woong?

A ranker skilled enough to stand alongside the strongest of them all.

Although his arm was cut off by Lee Jin-jin and Zheng, his strength is still valid.

“You're telling me to back me up even though I could really put a knife in your back? ”

“Yes."

Jo Tae-woong had never seen anything so extraordinary in his life.

“There's no better man on the continent than you. ”

There is a reason why Lee Kang-ho took control of many human forces, but left Tae-woong under his control until the end.

“And you'll have to decide if you want to put a knife in my back. I don't do it with one arm. ”

“Hehehehe……. ”

Cho Tae-woong smiled in a blameless manner.

“To deceive the eyes of the continent. No one will notice you're on my side. Take the soldiers you brought with you. Philipp is doing his best, so I'll make it even more useful. ”

Heatless takes out a small map in his arms.

“Luckily, some people can see the map. I've marked a few good places to make a Node. We'll distribute the supplies to 100 people, so you won't have to worry for a while. ”

“Good. It's useful to have an inventory like this. It's like going empty-handed, but it's practically like carrying a two-handed gift. ”

“Phew……. ”

At Jo Tae-woong's words, he raised his body, smiling lightly. Then I left the prison and told him one last time.

“Oh, I'll give you a name. ”

“Hmm?"

“The power you make. ”

The fever opened its mouth slowly with a bold expression.

“Yi Do-cheon. ”
