Chereads / Solo Leveling: Rebirth / Chapter 7 - Power Control

Chapter 7 - Power Control

While walking towards their school, they talked with each other.

Jin Sung asked Jin Woo. "So what is it.... That you wanted to talk about.?"

"1 year from now, when A-Rank Gates will start appearing.... Dad will awaken as a hunter. Also, a S-Rank. Then we will also reveal that we also awakened. 2 years from now, the 1st S-Rank Gate will appear.... The Gate which is known as mankind's worst disaster, the Kamish Gate. We will participate in it. But, this time Kamish will be even stronger than before. If we consider it's power, then it should be as strong as a Marshal in my shadow army. I will present myself as a Healer in front of the world and so will you. But aren't using our real powers, only reveal the necessary part. Did you looked at the skills you got from your level ups?"

"Oh, sorry. I totally forgot about them. Let me check on them."

He got all active skills. The skills that he got are Heal Lv. 1, Cure Lv. 1, Hardening Lv. 1 and Critical Hit Lv. 1, all of them are pretty useful.

[Heal: Healing injuries on oneself or others. Currently can only heal light and minor injuries. The effectiveness depends upon level of the skill. Consumes 100 MP per use.]

[Cure: Can cure status effects on oneself and others. Currently can only cure light and minor status effects. The effectiveness depends upon level of the skill. Consumes 100 MP per use.]

[Hardening: Harden your skin to inflict more damage. Currently can cover only small parts of your body like your arms and legs. The level of hardness and covered areas depends on the level of skill. Consumes 100 mana per activation.]

[Critical Hit: Your attacks have become more efficient. You are now able to find your opponent's vital spots and inflict critical damge. Consumes 100 mana per activation.]

"Wow, these skills are incredible. I also listened to your other words. It made sense."

"So, for now we are going to train out body and mind. We'll do the '100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 curl-ups, 100 squats and 10 km run' workout with some stretching. We will keep a distance from the physical activities at school and give a excuse that given what is happening, our family told us to keep our them away from engaging in physical activities with other people."

"Oh, that's gonna be challenging. So let's do it."

A few days passed and they gained 1 stat points each day from completing daily quests. Just like that, about 3 months passed, their body developed rapidly and they gained 90 free stat points. D-Rank dungeons had also started appearing alongside with new C-Rank awakeners. By this time Jin Woo also cleared 2 E-Rank dungeons and raising his level to 25.

Though others still didn't knew properly about these Gates, every country started clearing the E-Rank Gates. Many awakeners also started to appear. Every countries started sending the awakened military and police. At first, they didn't allowed the awakened civilians enter the Gates, but later they decided to do it anyway. Today Jin Woo was about to give the access of the Kasaka dungeon to Jin Sung.

"Okay I've given you the access of Kasaka's lair dungeon. The only thing you can do is gain the 'Title: Beast Assassin' and XP. The maximum you can reach is level 25 after completing the dungeon."

"Okay, refresh that dungeon and give me the key."

[Item: Dungeon Key]

[You have entered an instant dungeon: Kasaka's lair.]

[Kill the boss or find a teleportation stone to get out of the dungeon.]

The system presented this notices in front of Jin Sung.

'I won't find any loot from this dungeon because they are already looted by Jin Woo.'

Suddenly wolf type magic beasts and monkey type magic beasts started appearing in front of him and he read their names that appeared white in colour.

[Steel Fanged Lycan]

[Steel Clawed Briga]

They started appearing one by one. The first two charged towards him from different direction. The wolf tried to bite him with its sharp fangs while the monkey tried to cut him with its sharp claws. He slide from that place and jumped at a safer place while dodging their attacks.

Both of the beasts jumped towards him from both sides. Then he used the Hardening skill on both of his legs and while send a mid-air split kick while using the Critical Hit skill that destroyed both the magical beasts' bodies.

[You have defeated a Steel Fanged Lycan.]

[You have defeated a Steel Clawed Briga.]

So he decided that before killing the boss, he will learn about adjusting his power control.

He just kept on killing the magic beasts and tested his grip strength, lifting strength and striking strength. He also adjusted the use use of his movement speed, combat speed and reaction speed. This made him reach a new level of understanding of his powers.

Before he knew it, he had killed 50 Steel Fanged Lycan and 50 Steel Clawed Briga. He also got the 'Title: Beast Assassin'. The system informed him right away.

[You have gained the Title: Beast Assassin.]

[Beast Assassin: This title is given to the hunters who excel at hunting beast type monsters. All of your abilities will now increase by 50% when fighting against beast type monsters.]

He headed right towards the boss room by heading downstairs and reached that swamp like place where Kasaka resided. It was a place where mosses coming from the walls and floor. Black water swamp was in front of him. Something suddenly came out of the water and charged towards Jin Sung at full speed. Jin Sung dodges it by jumping to side. He look at the name of the magic beasts written in white colour above it's head.

[King of the Swamp, Blue Venom Fanged Kasaka]

He wanted to fight the snake without using any skills, just by using pure martial arts techniques.

'I think it'll be interesting to fight that snake just like the way Jin Woo fought it, but there are still many things I want experiment.'

Every time Kasaka attacks Jin Sung, he dodges by sliding, jumping, rotating his body and slipping through the gaps with his Swift footwork. The he reached the tail of Kasaka. He holded it and started rotating his entire body, because of that force, Kasaka was also forced to rotate.

Then after attaining a high speed, Jin Sung threw the snake at the dungeon wall. But, somehow, after the crash, it regained it's balance.

Crash! Slam! Boom!

Then he jumps above it launched an axe kick at the snake's nose causing it to crack. Once again, he jumped from the snake's blind spot and launched a hammer kick at the snake's nose causing it to break completely.

Crack!

The snake started to feel dizzy but Jin Sung jumped and grabbed onto it's neck and pressed it strongly causing the scales to near it's neck crack and resulting in killing the snake. The system informed him right away.

[You have defeated the King of the Swamp, Blue Venom Fanged Kasaka.]

He smiled and started laughing. "Hahaha.... I'm stronger than before... I can clear a D-rank dungeon by myself."

[You have defeated the boss. The dungeon will now be restored to its original state.]

He used the Stealth skill and Sprint skill to run back at home with full speed. Then checked the time, it was 6 O'clock in the morning. He felt relieved and sighed.
