Chapter 138 – Returning Si Hoon I
Time passed.
Winter came and covered the streets with freezing frosts and snow-white snowdrifts. Three weeks have passed since the war on the plain in Manchuria. The infernal teachers no longer showed themselves so openly.
Korea and China defeated the Masters, and everyone was happy about it. But superior people and high-class Players understood perfectly well that “victory” is a loud saying.
This is nothing but a calm before storm.
For them, time did not go as fast as for everyone, because they understood that now a pleasant breeze is blowing, carrying a hurricane.
***
– Ha.
Sunlight shone through the grill.
Kang Woo stretched and got out of bed. He only slept for about an hour, but was full of energy. After all, he was for the most part a demon who didn’t need sleep.
– Hmm…
He leaned against the pillow and picked up the phone. Several messages from Yong Joo and Hwa Yong flashed on the screen.
Kang Woo ran through the events of the past three weeks in his head.
Back in Korea, he focused on two things: the Hellish Teachers around the world and the search for legendary gear. He was looking for teachers for devouring souls, and he needed equipment in order to find himself something to replace the Black Pearl.
until I got one step further, “the guy clicked his tongue.
The hellish teachers showed themselves again, but the demons they summoned were not more than minor characters. Among them there was no one higher than the 2000th or Three thousandth circles of Hell. They were so pitiful that while sucking in their souls, Kang Woo did not even have time to taste them.
“But that’s all- there was little use.”
But the search for legendary high-class equipment was much more complicated. Although at first he thought that it would be enough to kill the boss of the Gate of the SS level, but after visiting the Gate of Sapporo and Vladivostok, he changed his mind.
And the problem was not at all the enormous power that such monsters possessed. It turned out to be extremely difficult to find the boss of the Gate, and when he succeeded and he killed him, the materials for making legendary equipment did not fall out.

And since he was not in a game where bosses can respawn, he could not kill them over and over again in the hope that he’ll eventually get lucky.
– Eh.
This is exactly how, without much sense, he has spent the last three months. Of course, during this time he managed to perfect his skills in using the key to the demonic Ocean and master several more Powers. But this did not in any way affect the increase in characteristics or level.
“Everyone else has made much more progress.”
Traveling with him around the world, Yong Joo, Tae Soo and Han Seol were able to achieve great success in their development. Yeon Joo finally overcame the level 59 problem and gained a special rank 10 ability that allowed her to reach the level of the World Ranker Players.
Hwa Young and Hyun Mon have also reached Special Ability 9.
And about the talented Han Seol and Tae Soo and nothing to say at all. They easily bypassed the level 59 problem and recently reached the 8th special ability.
Only Eun Bi, being a magician, did not develop so fast, but she also effortlessly stepped over the 59th level.
“They are rising very quickly.”
They all increased at a rate unusual for ordinary Players. Kang Woo even got the feeling that his rate of advancement had passed on to the others. But in fact, he himself was the one who gave them the opportunity to ride the paraboot “Oh Kang Woo”, which guarantees a promotion.
– Well, one day it will come in handy.
As it turns out, there is a limit to what you can do alone. At least he made it so that his friends, if necessary, could defend themselves.
“I wonder how Si Hoon is doing?”
It’s been three months since Si Hoon and Jung Mu Jin left for Shanghai. Since they were bound by one of Kang Woo’s Forces, the guy knew for sure that Si Hoon was alive, but did not know how much stronger he had become in the last three months.
“I’m in anticipation.”
After all, it was none other than Si Hoon. Naturally, Kang Woo had high hopes for him.
There was a knock on the door.
– Kang Woo, did you get up?
The guy stopped thinking about his own and got up.
“Yes, I’m on my way,” Kang Woo opened the door, behind which stood an agitated Han Seol. – Something happened?
– Well… – Han Seol paused and looked around, and making sure that no one was there, continued: – I recently received special ability rank 8.
– Yes?
– And… something strange happened after that.
– Something strange? The guy asked, tilting his head inquiringly.
The girl swallowed.
– Something like a pattern appeared on my back…
She turned her back and neatly lifted her T-shirt, from under which white skin appeared.
My God.
No pattern was visible. The guy was staring at her back.
– Kang Woo?.
– Oh, I’m sorry, my eyes are dry.
He slept only an hour… Not surprisingly, the eyes were dry and ache.
“Yes, nothing can be done about it.”
Still, he was human too. And a person cannot feel normal after only an hour’s sleep. The boy swallowed hard and rubbed his eyes, glancing once more at Han Sol’s back.
There really was some kind of pattern on her back that looked like angel wings.
– This is…
– It started appearing a few days ago.
Kang Woo narrowed his eyes.
– What new ability did you get?
– Wings of Light.
– Hmm.
The guy swallowed. He could not know if the pattern was part of the received special ability or not.
– Apart from the pattern, nothing else happened?
– Not yet.
Kang Woo carefully made out the pattern. Probably because he recently learned from Echidna about the Heavenly World, he could not just look away.
“But here I am powerless too.”
In this situation, he really could not do anything.
Perhaps sensing that Kang Woo was worried, the girl smiled sweetly.
– Apart from the pattern, nothing appeared, so don’t worry too much.
– I’m not sure I can.
After all, it was not about anyone else, but Han Sol. No matter how you look at it, she was special to him. Kang Woo reached forward and touched the pattern.
– Ah!
Goosebumps ran through the girl’s body, and her face turned red no worse than a ripe tomato.
Oh, Kang Woo was not bothered and used one of his Powers.
[Power of Patronage]
A force capable of testing changes in her body and creating a strong protective barrier. Although this Power consumed a large amount of Magi, because of which he could not use it for a long time, but now the situation required it. Calmly examining her back, Kang Woo said:
– If there are any more changes, tell me right away. Even if you have nightmares or, for example, your mood will begin to change dramatically. Tell me right away, do you understand?
– Ah… Yes, I get it, Kang Woo.
Because of his similar reaction, the girl hesitated for a moment and bent her head to somehow hide her smile.
“I’m happy.”
Emotions overwhelmed her. It is impossible to convey in words how happy she is that Kang Woo cares for her so much.
– Kang Woo… – a feeling arose in her, which was simply impossible to contain.
But at this very moment…
– Kang Woo, Han Sol, what are you doing? – Echidna’s voice rang out.
What she saw could really be misunderstood: a girl with a t-shirt pulled up and a guy looking at her.
– Ah, n-n-nothing! – Hastily shouted Han Sol.
Echidna tilted her head to one side and pulled Han Sol by the hem of her clothes.
– Han Sol, I’m hungry.
Lost cute sound of a rumbling belly. Han Seol smiled awkwardly and straightened her clothes.
“Wait a bit, I’ll make breakfast soon,” she said and headed to the kitchen.
Soon, the house was filled with a fragrant scent, which made everyone salivate.
This is the smell of kimchi jjigae. Thanks to Kang Woo’s persistence, their breakfast was always the same.
– Oh, time to eat? – Baal Hazak opened the door and entered the kitchen.
When they went outside, he was hiding in the shadow of Kang Woo, but he was at home in its usual form.
– Ah, you got up, Baal Khazak, – Han Sol, standing by the stove, greeted him.
At first she was frightened by the sight of a skeleton walking around the house, but after a while she got used to it. Now she was not scared even when faced with him at night.
– Breakfast is ready.
The kitchen was immediately filled with people and conversations, everyone began to eat. Baal Hazak, accustomed to using sticks, skillfully fished meat from the plate.
– Hehe. Today’s blood dish is excellent, “he exclaimed as he ate the kimchi jjigae.
It’s amazing to watch the skeleton gobble up the kimchi jjigae, but this is no longer a surprise to anyone present there.
– Ha ha! Taste to the bone!
Kang Woo chuckled. It’s hard not to laugh when you hear this from a skeleton.
“How he reacts violently.”
This kind of reaction is difficult to find even in comics.
– Fuh, excellent food, a human woman, – the skeleton said arrogantly.
The hand of Kang Woo, who was sitting next to him, immediately swung.
– A-ah! My skull! – there was a cry.
– I told you not to call Han Seol that.
– Kx. Sorry, Master, – answered Baal Hazak, rubbing the back of his head.
– You are washing dishes, – Kang Woo lightly patted the skeleton on the shoulder and rose from his seat.
Baal Hazak’s eyes lit yellow.
– Kx. Why should the great Baal Hazak do this?.
Cleaning after breakfast? In the RNO, he could not even imagine such a thing. But he could not refuse his Master, so the skeleton quickly collected the dishes and put on rubber gloves. Taking a sponge in one hand, he poured some detergent onto it.
In three months he had already got used to this. Washing each plate to a shine, he quickly finished the job.
“We need to quickly sort the wash.”
If you hesitate, the morning cleaning took too long. Over the past three months, he managed to study the daily routine of this house and constantly kept it in his head.
“Why is he great…”
Lord Baal Hazak.
He, the great sovereign, who kept the entire RNO in terror, turned into a slave. After washing the dishes, he set to work on the dirty laundry. At that moment, goose bumps ran through his knuckles.
“It’s impossible to live like that,” Baal Hazak’s eyes sparkled.
While taking apart the wash, he suddenly got up.
– Master! – he called Kang Woo, sitting on the armchair
– Huh?
Baal Hazak slowly approached Kang Woo.
– What?
– I was going to endure, but I can’t do this anymore! He said angrily. – Today I have to tell you about it!
– You mean you are going to work harder?
– No! This is not the problem! – Baal Hazak took another step forward. – Master!
His eyes lit up yellow, and a strong Magi began to emanate from his body. He held out his hand.
– How many times have I told you not to turn your socks inside out before washing?!
– Ahhh…
– You just have no idea how important this is!
– Oh, yes, I’m sorry…
– If you understand, then don’t do this anymore, – with a stern look, he turned around and went to the washing machine.
The pleasant scent of the conditioner has reached him.
