The Live

Yoon Jae returned from the middle area and fell asleep for more than half a day.

For Yoon Jae, who spent two or three hours a day sleeping, that half day was too long and was like honey.

“Hmm-”

Yoon Jae, who was sleeping from the middle to the bed, bent his waist and sat on the bed and yawned.

Looking out the window, the sun was high. Yoon Jae realized that he had been asleep longer than he expected.

‘It was solved. ’

I was nervous the whole time I was in the middle of nowhere about when the monsters might attack.

That's why I used to wake up even the smallest sound of grass grazing. Compared to then, I was now too relaxed.

Yoon Jae sat there for a while and emptied his head. I was relieved of my fatigue, but after a long sleep, I felt relieved.

Knock-knock.

Then someone knocked on the door. Yoon Jae woke up from his seat, rubbing his eyes.

“Who are you?”

“It's me. Are you awake? ”

It was Elvin.

Yoon Jae opened the door hook that was locked. Elvin changes his clothes neatly and comes out to meet you.

“I sleep for a long time. ”

“He must have fallen into a deep sleep. I haven't slept in half a day. ”

“I came to wake you up this morning and you weren't there. He wasn't out of town. He was still sleeping? Somehow there's nowhere to go. ”

“Did you come to wake me up? ”

Yoon Jae could see that he had fallen asleep deeper than he expected.

I can't believe someone came knocking at my door and didn't notice.

‘That's how much it was released. ’

Yoon Jae lost his mind.

‘You can't do this. ’

We can't let it go too far.

Yoon Jae sighed a little.

“I'm sorry, but what's going on……. ”

“The Clan leader called. I need to talk to you. ”

“I'll be right there. ”

“You don't have to come out right now. Come to my room in two hours. Let's go together.”

“I understand.”

After saying that, Elvin immediately turns away.

Arkan's call.

Yoon Jae seemed to know what he was calling himself. There was only one thing he could do to find himself.

‘Cause of your next destination. ’

The key was to find the Holy Grail.

Recently, the texts and paintings I saw in the temple were indicative of the next destination leading to the Holy Grail.

If the people of the first generation start to move in earnest, it means that they are looking for the holy gospel.

And it was a matter of moving as discreetly as possible to the devil or angels.

“I have to wash up first.... ”

Yoon Jae paused while trying to turn the head slightly blindfolded.

Raised right arm.

It was because of the black patterns that were there.

“… huh? ”

The chains have changed again.

The shape of the bracelet first dug into the wrist, and now the shape of the pattern.

It was like a tattoo on my body.

Yoon Jae looked right through his wrist.

When the hell was that? ’

I don't know when it changed shape. I was constantly injecting magic, so I was starting to wonder if it would change.

But while sleeping, I didn't think the shackles would change.

Does it have something to do with being in a deep sleep? ’

Yoon Jae sat on the bed for a while without washing immediately.

The feeling of being bored completely fled. Yoon Jae knew better than anyone what a chain change meant.

‘A clue to your next destination. ’

The shackles take many different forms.

And whenever that shape moves to the next, it becomes a clue to know the next destination.

Until the day before, the shackles were the second form. It took a long time, but then it didn't change shape.

‘We'd better hurry if we're going after the other keys. ’

He wasn't the only one with chains.

Even though the shapes were different, there were keys in the Demon and Angel factions.

And they have existed in the other world for far longer than they have. Perhaps there is a significant difference in power.

‘Emotions.’

[91 Zahar's Shackles]

Grade: A + (Growth) (Bound)

# The shackles made by Zahar the Monarch. Consume the user's Magic Power and give it more Power.

#???

# Items interwoven with the user's body.

# The magical power absorbed by the shackles can be used freely.

# Additional Attack (Cutting) and Resistance increases for all weapons and armor based on consumed Magic Power.

# Ignore resistance due to Spent Magical Power.

# Increases horsepower by 60% (fixed).

# Magic power consumption 30% lower.

After feeling the shackles, Yoon Jae's eyes widened.

It was not surprising that the A + grades and items turned into attribution.

Higher horsepower and consumption rates were also expected.

But the biggest change was that the magic power that the shackles absorbed could be used 'freely'.

The free use of the magical power of the shackle means that the distribution of magical power is just as easy.

In addition, it also increases the release of magical power that can be used at once.

As more than half of the fighting in the other side world is determined by magic, it was such an attractive effect that the stored magic could be used as a free material.

‘We'll have to wait a little longer to see how to use this. ’

I didn't think of myself as lacking in magical power.

There was only one thing that was too bad about Yoon Jae recently.

‘Lack of stamina. ’

Yun Jae's technique, 'Reversal’, was to reverse the magical force and use it as a medium to constantly amplify the magical power.

The problem was that the magical circuits in the body twisted that much and caused a strain on the body.

The warping of the magical circuits was not a problem. Normal people would die from the reverse flow of magical circuits, but Yoon Jae was different from normal people.

‘My magical circuitry should be enough to last. ’

Zahar's Magic Power Source.

It was constantly changing Yoon Jae's magical circuitry.

That's why Yoon Jae, who had pure magical power and a strong, firm magical circuit, was able to withstand the reverse flow of magical power.

It was because he believed in the magic circuit that he had originally planned the reverse.

The problem was physical strength.

‘Your health is unbelievably weak compared to your magic. ’

Yoon Jae's current health stats are 94.

I could never see it as low. Not long ago, since I was in the middle of the country, it's been significantly elevated.

However, Yoon Jae's magical power stats had reached 104.

In addition, Magi stats are such as 104. Not long ago, Veled, Lerazi, and the Devil have eaten Margaery and grown in size.

He lacked the stamina he needed to endure the power of magic and Magi. Besides, they try to put more pressure on the body through reversal, so that the body will not be left.

‘In the long run, this is like poison. ’

All the fatigue and damage that builds up on your body does not go away, but accumulates steadily.

Without further physical strength, it was impossible to use the reverse. No matter how hard the magic circuit got, it was in your body that it eventually flowed.

‘On the contrary, if the stamina is only supported, the constraints are lifted to use the inversion. ’

A sigh came out of Yoon Jae's mouth.

“My magic is so powerful, I can't even use it. ”

Yoon Jae remembered what Elvin said a long time ago.

- Magic power? However, for those who struggle like you and me, even if they are a little less than high magical power, balanced stats are better. High magical spears can cause you to be unable to endure your own strength.

Balanced.

Yoon Jae didn't understand it at first. But now I thought I knew.

‘If you're fighting magic with your body, like me or Elvin, you need stamina to withstand that magic. ’

Not to mention stats like strength, agility, and reflectivity as much as moving your body to fight.

But more importantly, health.

His physical strength was more important than anything else for Yoon Jae, who struggled with his body in retaliation.

‘Elvin said the stats were all the same. ’

All stats are the same.

That was the most perfect ideal state.

In that regard, the stats of the gloss were large and deformed. There is a difference between Magical stats and 10 HP.

“Let's think positive. ”

It was a disadvantage, but not necessarily a bad one.

On the contrary, it meant that there was room to be stronger by pulling up other stats in the future.

What's the question mark? ’

In Zahar's chains, there was an explanation that made no sense.

I didn't know if it was because the ratings were high or if the conditions had to be met. Unlike other items, they are attributable, so I couldn't leave my emotions to someone else.

‘We'll see about that. ’

Yoon Jae was not interested in the description of items that no longer felt.

Since the chains are the key, I thought it would somehow be revealed in the pursuit of the Holy Grail.

‘For the remaining time……. ’

Yoon Jae muttered, seeing the symbol on his right wrist.

“Find a way to boost your health. ”

There was definitely a bow.

* * *

In time, Yoon Jae went to Elvin's room.

Elvin walks ahead without another word. The place he was headed was not upstairs in Clan House.

“Where are you going? ”

“There was a meeting place set aside. ”

Elvin says that and heads to a small restaurant in the middle floor.

There were two restaurants in Clan House on the Skyscraper. The restaurant on the middle floor was a place where those who missed the time of the two restaurants quickly ate.

“Why here……. ”

“I'm here to have a late meal with you. ”

“Yes?”

“I just know that. Let's go.”

Elvin walks ahead with the horse. Yoon Jae followed behind without knowing English.

Unlike this restaurant, which could accommodate hundreds of people, the second restaurant consisted of several small rooms and dozen tables.

It was not a restaurant to accommodate so many people in the first place.

Elvin looks around and enters the small room with a partition. Yoon Jae naturally followed behind.

“You're late. I've already eaten. ”

Arhan was eating in the room. He's just putting down his fork and knife.

Yoon Jae looks at Arhan finishing his meal and the man with dark red hair sitting across from him.

Who is it?

The atmosphere was cold, unlike Arhan's. He glances at Yoon Jae entering the room with Elvin.

“I've eaten. He's not here yet. ”

“Then you'll have to eat alone. ”

“Tell them to eat later. And is that the one in front of you? ”

Arhan nods at Elvin's question and introduces the man sitting in front of him.

“This is Kim Jin-seok. You've heard of him, right? ”

“Kim Jin-seok...? ”

Yoon Jae's eyes widened in the familiar name.

The only surviving first-generation person not in any group.

Those with the best skills of the existing ones.

One of the top five clans in a hurry.

He was Kim Jin-seok.

‘Why is Kim Jin-seok here...? ’

At that moment, I realized that Yoon Jae had obvious questions.

If that's why he came here, it was obvious.

Keys.

It was to see myself.

“Is this him? ”

“Yes."

“It's the first year now? ”

Kim Jin-seok motioned to see Yoon Jae standing in front of the visit.

“Sit down.”

It was a word, but it was strange to refuse. I remembered the modifier in front of his name.

Did you say "transvestite"? ’

The sky outside the sky.

It was truly a magnificent modifier. Those who go far beyond the realm of man, who have overwhelming power that even those in the realm cannot understand.

I've heard of it.

He did not belong to any organization, nor was he the leader of a large group such as Arhan or a hundred thousand.

Nevertheless, the fame preceded him.

Gulp -

I felt tense to the very end of my throat.

Yoon Jae sat on the seat that Kim Jin-seok pointed to. It was next to Arhan.

“What about dinner? ”

Arhan asked, looking at Yoon Jae sitting next to him.

Yoon Jae shakes his head and replies.

“I'm fine. ”

“I don't think so. The food will fall down your throat in this position. This guy's got to have a real first impression. ”

“You don't have a good first impression either. ”

“You're the only one who can do it. ”

Arhan reaches out to the teacup with a bloody smile. After drinking a cup of tea, he turned around and said.

“I talked to the others about you. ”

“The others? ”

“The first generation, like me. This is the one who first came to tell me that the key had appeared. ”

Arhan shrugs as he puts his teacup down on the table.

“He said he'd teach you. ”

“Teach?”

Yoon Jae was surprised and asked.

Kim Jin-seok.

You said he'd teach himself?

“We can't just die in vain like him. ”

To Yoon Jae who was surprised, Kim Jin-seok answered with a grave voice.

He was also aware of the death of the first key. I also knew what Yoon Jae's existence meant.

If I lost the key again, I couldn't really walk. No, things were already flowing out of control.

“What are you going to do? Instead of teaching, the choice is yours. I don't want to impose. ”

According to Arhan, Yoon Jae thinks for a moment and nods.

“I'll take good care of you in the future. ”

“Good.”

Arhan gives a small smile to the mouth as if satisfied. It was a surprise, but Yoon Jae didn't think it was bad.

‘There are many problems that need to be solved right now. ’

Unbalance between magical power and other stats.

What was needed to solve the problem was, of course, an increase in other stats that were lacking.

There was no obvious way to raise the stats immediately. But Kim Jin-seok might know the way.

“Then why did you ask me to meet you here? If you eat first, I don't think you've decided to just eat here. ”

Yun Jae wondered why Arhan and Kim Jin-seok called themselves this small restaurant.

“Don't you want anyone to know we're meeting? ”

“No, of course not. ”

I thought the question was true.

And Yoon Jae seemed to know a little bit about who it was.

“The demons…… or the traitors inside? ”

“Yes, you do. ”

“I met Turner in the middle. He's already not human. ”

Yun Jae told me about what happened at the temple in the middle region.

Miscellaneous bears planted in the middle region, encounters with dragons, and turns with the presence of an armor-grade demon.

After hearing the detailed story, Arhan's face gradually distorted.

“... That was close. ”

Even Arhan and Kim Jin-seok couldn't help but feel nervous about the fact that the two demons were manipulating the bears using the devil's timber.

If only a little more time had passed, it would have been obvious where all those grizzly bears had come from.

“I met Turner in the process. But no matter how much I think about it, Turner seemed to know the secrets of the past that the Clan leader told me yesterday. ”

“Emily must have told you. ”

“Emily...... Are you referring to Murder Clan master? ”

“She is also a first-generation person who knows the past. It's probably because humans don't stand a chance against demons anymore. ”

“Then……. ”

“It means that the key figures of the Murder Clan already know the past. In fact, it's okay to keep a secret like this. The secret of knowing more than three is no longer a secret. ”

There are five first-generation survivors.

Arkhan and the Hundred Thousand, Kim Jin-seok, Emily and the Jinger Clan's Master, Fukushi Genji.

Among them, a secret leak could be Emily, or one of the Demon Factions that killed the key.

“As long as you know the secret, it's not something you don't understand about sticking up for the demons. Problem is, not just the clans, but the demons are working with us. ”

“Don't you know who that is? ”

“Yes. I'm looking, but I can't seem to catch my tail. Whoever he is, he's a suspect.

Arhan shrugs.

“I'm probably in my room right now. I put on a hallucination skill set. It doesn't matter, he's so mysterious. ”

Unlike others who each had one clan, Kim Jin-seok was a free body.

You are not affiliated with anyone, you are not leading any groups.

That's why it was also the strangest person.

“At the end of this day, I will refrain from contacting you as much as possible. As I said before, our contact with you is ideal for suspicion. ”

We have to hide the key.

That was the first task.

Right now, Yoon Jae and the regular were still exposed to some extent.

There were countless people who cared about him.

Of course, it would not be suspected that the key is just because of his talent, but if Arhan had frequent contact with Yun Jae, he would have had good reason to suspect it.

The demons and the people who were working with them knew why Arhan and the other first-generation people stopped working.

“Your job is to be strong. Don't risk it to anyone. Don't set limits. Remember, your life is not for one person from now on. ”

The face of Arhan who said that was the most serious face I had ever met.

Yoon Jae nodded and said yes. He also knew he would be a target in the near future.

“What will the Clan master do now? ”

Kim Jin-seok teaches himself.

It was possible because Kim Jin-seok didn't lead any groups in the first place.

Even if he taught himself, the risk of exposing it on the outside was not great.

But Arhan is different.

If he were to embark on a foreign activity right now, there would be those who would question that. And they will try to find out why.

“Told you? They're watching us. ”

A Murderer clan spy, such as Turner, or several others allied with the Devil.

They kept an eye on the first generation. That's why Arhan and Yun Jae couldn't see each other.

“I'll be thinning them out from now on. ”

Arhan said that, looking back at Elvin.

“That's what he's gonna run for. ”

Already Elvin and Arhan seem to be done talking. Elvin insists that he nods slightly.

Arhan breathes for a while.

In the meantime, it was Elvin who would become Arhan's hand and foot. Since Arhan and Elvin are known to be peacekeepers, there should also be a smokescreen effect.

“It's time to wake up when we're done talking. ”

Kim Jin-seok stood up straight away whether he didn't want to talk for longer.

Then, I shook my head as if to ask Yoon Jae to follow me.

“If you have something to prepare, bring it out quickly. Now that you and the two guys you're traveling with have a quest to solve inside the Skyscraper Clan, there's no doubt they'll come out in a hurry. ”

“Are you going on a regular trip? ”

“Haven't you two been hanging out all this time? ”

“Are you considerate?”

“No, to avoid making it suspicious. If you two move alone, you might think it's weird. ”

It was a hard and clever answer.

However, I liked Yoon Jae even more that it was a computational action, not considerate.

“Please take good care of it. ”

Yoon Jae reached out to Kim Jin-seok.

Kim Jin-seok looked at Yun Jae's hands and said.

“I saw you do it. ”

Zek-

At the same time, Kim Jin-seok climbed to the ceiling. He told me not to show myself, and it was like that.

“ ……. ”

Yoon Jae, who was relieved of his hands, stood there for a moment and looked up at the ceiling where Kim Jin-seok disappeared.

Arhan shrugs.

“He's always been an asshole. ”

“Ahhh-”

In that sentence, Yoon Jae seemed to know a little about Kim Jin-seok's personality.

‘You're going to have a hard time. ’
