Ha Joon remained in his position as a new type of energy began to surround his body, causing him to feel a different type of power surge.
Like gates, he tapped into a new source of power, one created solely for the False Beast Demigod.
[A new slot has been unlocked.]
[You have successfully gained the power of the Beast Demigod.]
[You now have the ability to utilize the power of the beast, and authority on all those who fall under it.]
At this point, Ha Joon had taken on a new form, his skin was brown with dark symbols drawn all over his body; the brown energy also swirled around him like a cocoon.
'System, not only am I going to nag you once all this is over, you are so getting punished for not telling me I was capable of this'.
"What is this?!!! How can this be?!!!"
The Demigod suddenly yelled as it steadily stood back on its feet, causing Ha Joon to look at it.
"Bested by this human!!! This human?!!! Impossible! I shall not fall to a mere human!".
The Demigod roared to the sky in rage.
"Oohoho, you are going to fall by this mere human alright…" Ha Joon chuckled.
The Demigod stomped it's foot on the ground-
"You insolen.."
"Pah, I don't wanna hear it." Ha Joon took a fighting stance, "Your first mistake… was letting me cook, and you're going to pay dearly for that".
Raaaah!!!
The Demigod raced towards Ha Joon at full speed, the ground rumbling as its feet pressed against the ground.
Its horns aimed down, ready to slam into Ha Joon.
As soon as the Demigod was in close proximity, he grabbed it by the horns, and pushed his right foot on the ground, before raising the Demigod to the sky.
Merlin, and the other Beast men who had arrived all watched this in bewilderment.
Even Artoria, who was striding towards the scene while dragging the dead body of the third demigod, halted to watch.
Baam!
Ha Joon slammed the demigod to the ground, and picked it up again, before raising it and slamming it on the other side of the ground.
He did this a couple more times, until two huge holes were positioned beside him, and the Demigod was lying on its back in one.
[Congratulations, you have successfully tamed the false demigod.]
Once again, Ha Joon felt that gate open up, a huge magic circle forming in front of him.
This magic circle sucked in the Demigod, even as the Demigod tried to fight it, it couldn't, its roars were met with deaf ears.
Until eventually, its whole body was sucked into the magic circle, and then - it shattered.
"No way… did he just…swallow up a demigod?" Merlin muttered to herself, unable to believe what she had just witnessed.
Artoria at the side, watched as the body of the third demigod also began to disappear. Then she looked back at Ha Joon, a smile on her face.
Ha Joon in question, remained still for a while, before he turned around to face the eyes of the people looking at him.
And with a bold bright smile, he gave them a thumbs up and yelled -
"The Traveler, Ha Joon Kim! Has defeated the Beast Demigod!!!".
"The Traveler has slane the Demigod!!!"
"The Traveler killed The Demigod!!!"
One by one they began to chant, some of them jubilanting, others watching Ha Joon with adoration.
The human who killed a Demigod.
Ha Joon smiled, looking at Merlin who seemed almost relieved at the moment that a smile graced her face.
'Are you seeing this old me? You're no longer a loser… I told you, didn't I? No way in hell I was going to be the man I was then, starting hence forth, I am going to grow even stronger, nothing will stand in my way'.
He took a single step, and it felt like every bone in his body had shattered before he collapsed to the ground, face first.
His form disappeared, and he was back to his regular human looking form.
'Well played fate… well played'.
…..
[You have gained a new skill.]
[First heal (Adept)]
[You can now heal yourself from all types of physical injuries.]
'About goddamn time. I've been reading on RPG herbs and shit just to gain one healing skill, sigh, even in a fantasy, school still managed to catch up to me…'
Ha Joon blinked, disabling the hologram playing before his eyes.
''How long have I been here anyway?'.
[Three days.]
'Huh Hun good good, and I'm fully healed, correct?'.
[Yes you are.]
'Nice, superb. So tell me why the hell this woman is keeping me hostage in her room!!!'.
Ha Joon was on the bed, his body covered under a huge pile of blankets, while Artoria, dressed in white dress, stood at the side, mixing tea into a cup.
Ever since the battle with the demigod, Artoria had kept Ha Joon from leaving the room. Not even for a sparring session with Merlin.
"Uhm… Ar..t-"
"You're not going anywhere today either." Artoria responded.
She sat at the side of the bed, and gently raised Ha Joon's head up a bit. And then, she reached for the tea and handed it over to him.
"Thank you." He grabbed it and began to blow on it.
As he did this, he watched as Artoria leaned forward, her eyes fixed on him, almost like she was eagerly waiting for him to drink the tea.
'Does she even realize how cute she is when she gets like this? Like you aren't fooling anyone princess tsundere, you obviously want me to complement your tea.'
Ha Joon shook his head with a smile.
Sippp~!
"Hmmm, this is good, better than the last time." Ha Joon uttered deviously.
Artoria's face beamed with joy as she looked to the side and stood up from the bed.
'Hehehehh, so cuteeeeeee~' Ha Joon melted.
"Oh by the way, Artoria, I really think I should get to work on the kingdom planning, and for that, I need to stand up, and -"
"I'll let you leave under one condition." Artoria looked at him.
"Eh? And what is that?"
"Modred will be your bodyguard."
'Nahhh hell no'.
