Chapter 44 - 254

Seong Ji-han recalled his last deal with Raijin.

Receive the EX-level skill Divine Throne summons and pass the red lightning.

He accepted it with glee, but when he realized that the essence of red lightning contained emptiness, he went berserk and asked what he would do if he was given something like this.

[The Raijin gets angry and asks if they are going to leave Red Lightning like this. We condemn this as a violation of contract.]Although he had been criticizing Seong Ji-han for a long time.

In the end, he didn't withdraw his support for the Holy See because he felt sorry for himself.

"for a moment. "I've received a message from the Constellation and I'll talk to you about it."

"No, to the Constellation… … ."

"He wants me to help him with something."

"yes. "Please come back~"

Seong Ji-han waved to Sophia, who came as a guest, and entered his room.

For that short period of time.

[The constellation 'Rain God' trembles in fear, saying that the Wandering Martial God has invaded in earnest.] [The constellation 'Rain God' is urging you, asking why there is no answer.]He took a strong stance and asked why there was no answer.

[The constellation 'Rain God' says he was too harsh in the past, and promises to give you a bigger reward if you cooperate this time.] [The constellation 'Rain God' appeals to you to at least give an answer.]By the time Seong Ji-han opened his door, he was in town mode.

'Thunderer. 'It seems like you're in a hurry.'

Seong Ji-han looked at the system message that lowered his posture in real time, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"It's a red bomb operation… … Is that everything I said last time? "Take advantage of the void."

[The constellation 'Rain God' complains that even though he gave up eternal life and used the void, it does not produce enough power.] [If there is a secret, please tell it quickly and do not hide it.]"What is the secret? "If you're a thunder god, shouldn't you be able to control your electricity levels better than humans?"

Thunder God was silent for a moment, perhaps feeling uncomfortable with Seong Ji-han's words.

But within a few minutes, a system message appeared again.

[The constellation 'Rain God' wants to descend his alter ego.] [Will you accept it?]"okay."

Jijijijik… … !

Then, electricity flashed in front of Seong Ji-han's eyes, and a small lion with a red electric current jumped out.

[Master of the Red Lightning. Quickly pass on the secret! Musin and his servants are now breaking the barrier outside the God Throne!]"No, there really is no such secret. "That's all I told you last time."

[No way! I tried to use red lightning even at the cost of giving up my life, but I failed!]"How much void did you mix?"

[1, 2 percent… … .]"Mix it more. "Give up a little more life."

[If I mix it up any further, I will die!]The lion gets angry at these words.

Seong Ji-han, who saw this, had a strange look in his eyes.

Is the energy of emptiness that fatal to a god?

'Then I understand why you went on a rampage last time because you were scammed.'

Still, that's the situation over there.

Seong Ji-han shrugged his shoulders.

"The only way to strengthen red lightning that I know is by mixing voids. Any other secrets? "I want to know too."

[Ugh… … Is it true?]"okay. "I also want you to become strong and stop the martial arts gods."

[Are you a martial artist too?]"okay. "Because I don't have a very good relationship with him."

The Red Lion's eyes sparkled at Seong Ji-han's words.

[I have a bad relationship with the god of war... … Then, are you willing to help me?]"If you ask me to go and fight, I will decline. "I'm not at the point where I can attack him yet."

[I don't expect that either. but.]Jijijijik… … .

The size of the red lion became smaller.

Around his body, a blue electric current bloomed.

[Can you share some of my senses and help me with red bomb operation?]"Shared senses?"

[okay. There won't be any harm to you. All you have to do is keep firing red lightning.]"Are you asking me to act as a generator?"

[generator… … No matter how much you grow, how can you develop the Raijin as a whole? Rather than that, yes. You can think of it as a switch role.]The red lion poked his head towards the switch in the sacred room.

[Like this. All you have to do is press one of the switches to turn on the red light.]"aha. That much is possible. Ah, but."

[however?]"There is a Space League match in a few days."

[Is that important now!]"uh. "I can't do this for long."

[If you don't participate in at least one game, it won't be a big deal, right?]"Humanity would be in big trouble without me."

[Ugh… … .]Pajik. Pajik.

The red lion released electricity here and there and clenched his teeth.

It looks like I'm about to be killed by a god of war, and my anger surges as I wonder what kind of space-travelling that guy is doing.

What was disappointing was this.

[…] … I get it. Then go to the game. Anyway, if you use red lightning to strengthen the shield. Because you will be able to last longer.]"okay. however."

[…] … what. Again?]"What is the price?"

[cost?]"uh. "You said you would give it to me earlier?"

[That was when I told you the secret… … !]"no. So you really weren't planning on giving it to me? You entrusted the work to someone? For your information, I now pay in advance."

Crackling. Support position. Jijijijik… … !

At Seong Ji-han's words, Raijin's body turned white and began to emit electric current in all directions.

Although it looked cute because it was a small lion.

Still, perhaps because his original identity was the clone of Thunder God, he was quite powerful.

"Stop making a fuss in my room."

Sigh.

Let Seong Ji-han draw a circle with his finger.

The thunder god's current could not exceed a certain distance and was trapped inside.

[…] … If you share your senses with me, your lightning-related abilities will increase.]"Brain man? This isn't really useful. "Aren't there any more EX-level items than that?"

[does not exist! I know something like that pops up easily!]"hmm… … Then the merit is too small."

When Seong Ji-han crossed his arms and looked down, the angry Thunder God flinched and lowered his voice.

[…] … I get it. If I survive, I'll pay you more. And, did you say it was prepaid? Your stats… … Are you a brain person? I'll give you an additional 50 for this.]"50… … ."

[okay. If you share your senses there, this ability will grow more rapidly.]Stat brain man.

This ability is a rare stat, and would be useful if other players had it.

For Seong Ji-han, it was a stat that was left behind by soullessness and emptiness, and he was no longer concerned about numbers.

But still, giving a stat +50 all at once is a different story.

'This thing is kind of like the god of lightning.'

Seong Ji-han relaxed his arms and smiled in satisfaction.

"good. "To stop the martial arts, I will give you special help."

[…] … Thank you, thank you. Then, catch me right now.]The lion, which had been dyed pure white, turned blue again.

Seong Ji-han nodded and extended his hand to him.

Then a system message appeared.

[The constellation 'Rain God' and the sponsor Seong Ji-han begin sharing their senses.] [The constellation 'Rain God' grants the Thunder Man stat 50 in return.] [You are summoned to the Raider God's control space. Would you like to accept it?]"Was this a summons? But how do I get back from here?"

[Hmm… … You're so meticulous. No additional options.]To Seong Ji-han's question, the lion who hesitated answered.

[When you shout out to log out, you will be reverse summoned from Raijin's control space.] [Do you want to accept the summons?]Seong Ji-han, who had the option to return at any time, nodded.

"I accept."

Flash!

Then, Seong Ji-han's body blinked in pure white light and disappeared.

* * *

Jijijik… … .

'Is this the Raijin's control space?'

Seong Ji-han, who had been summoned, looked around.

A space surrounded on all sides by pure white electric current that hurts the eyes.

Only a very small portion of this current was showing red light.

Sigh.

And from among those currents, a lion's head popped out.

[As expected, lightning cannot invade you.]"I also have some spatial control skills."

[But in order to strengthen the red lightning, the space will need to be opened a little.]Jijijik… … .

Two thin red electric currents appeared in front of the lion's face.

Rather than being completely red, the color is pale red.

Here, the power of void was clearly lighter than the energy of fire.

[Please strengthen this.]"Just two of these?"

[Hehe. Try it first and then tell me.]Seong Ji-han opened the way for the two currents approaching the soulless space.

OK.

Jijijijik… … .

In front of his hand, two pale strands of red lightning were held.

'Is it okay if I assign my enemy here?'

Let Seong Ji-han fire his red lightning as a demonstration.

Pajik. Pajik.

It seemed like the light-colored red lightning got darker for a moment, but then a thick electric current flashed and disappeared into the distance.

[As expected, yours is of high purity… … .]"Where did they go?"

[The red bombs you strengthened are primarily used to strengthen the barrier. The places with red lightning certainly have better defense than other places.]"hmm… … That sight. "Can I see it too?"

[I can't afford to do that now. When the defense becomes more solid with your red bombs, I'll launch it then.]Sigh.

With those words, the lion disappears.

'You're being condescending by showing me the screen.'

I wanted to see what powers Musin and his servants would use when they invaded.

Did Thunder God also feel Seong Ji-han's curiosity?

His request was not so easily met.

His attitude was that he would see what you were doing and that he would do it or not.

'Now that I have the stats, let's get to work.'

Brain stat 50.

Although it was a skill I had no intention of investing in.

Still, perhaps because the rare stat has risen by 50, it has become easier to use the power of thunderbolt.

Jijijijik… … .

Seong Ji-han continued to strengthen the light red sword held in his hand.

It becomes red and becomes lighter.

How many hours have passed since the redness turned red and faded again and again?

[The brain man increases by 1.] [The brain man increases by 2.]Maybe it's because I've been dealing with incredibly powerful electric currents, but my brain stats have risen steadily.

The color of the red lightning became darker, then lightened back to its original color.

Seong Ji-han frowned.

'This is not worth it. There I was completely… … 'It's a battery?'

When Raijin summoned Seong Ji-han here, he said it was supposed to be a switch.

From the point of view of those who distribute red mines, it is just as I thought at first.

It was acting as a generator and battery.

'It's a pity to remain passive like this.'

A clash between the wandering martial god and the thunder god.

The outcome of this battle was already spoiled by Seong Ji-han's divine power of thunder.

Raijin will eventually be captured by the wandering warrior god, have his powers taken away, and be destined to die.

No matter how much Seong Ji-han says he supplies red bombs like this.

I didn't expect Raijin to beat him.

so.

'I can log out anyway, so I'll try to get as much out of this as I can.'

It was our policy to continue acting like a battery and log out when Raijin was defeated.

Sigh.

Seong Ji-han held the two red lightning strands in his left hand, and held the electric currents rising from all directions with his remaining right hand.

Support!

[you… … What should I do?]Due to Seong Ji-han's unexpected behavior, the lion's head quickly appeared.

"ah. The electricity went out. "I'll refill."

[but… … We did supply a lot of red bombs.]"okay. hey. They told me I was the switch. It's just a generator, right? "How long do we have to supply red mines?"

[Uhm… … Please try a little harder. The barrier that was helplessly pushed back is being restored thanks to you.] 

"okay? If you want to restore the barrier further, try to replenish energy. Or should I just log out and rest?"

[…] … Wait a moment. I'm going to make some announcements. In the meantime, absorb that electricity.]Rather than restraining Seong Ji-han's actions, Raijin did not.

After struggling with his request to replenish energy, he disappeared again.

[The brain power increases by 5.]And Seong Ji-han, who absorbs white current in earnest and grows his abilities.

Certainly, the brain's growth was faster than holding on to the red lightning strand.

'No matter how rare the stats are, it's nice to be able to increase your stats for free.'

Since the Thunder God, who is supposed to stop him, is having a hard time because of the lightning, Seong Ji-han decides to raise his abilities in earnest.

I spent my time prioritizing growth as a brain rather than changing my skills.

Then, when Brainy grew up to about 70.

'It doesn't go up very well anymore.'

The rapid upward trend has come to an end.

Seong Ji-han saw that and decided to move on to the next staff member.

"hey. Thunderer. Aren't you done with your nomination? ah. I ran out of energy... … "I have no strength, I have no strength~ Are you going home?"

Seong Ji-han calls out to the Thunder God with a livelier voice than ever before.

To him who makes Thunder God's control space rumble.

A system message suddenly appeared.

[you… … What are you doing here?]It was a message from Pythia, the servant of the God of War.
