Awakening After Divorce

Chapter 19 Ogre’s Gloves

There are still traumas and debts.

It was not the time to be intoxicated with the new sense of [super sense]. I need to raise some money by making artifacts for a while.

Items in the general store must also be filled with [Rare] grades, and the general store must be promoted using the system auction house.

The auction house is convenient, but commerce means coming to buy a ‘sword’ and then buying a ‘shield’, and then coming to buy equipment and then buying ‘consumables’.

Besides, the auction house fees are too high.

It was time for Jihoo to take a step back.

“… … ?”

A familiar voice was heard from a distance. It was a small sound that I would not have heard at all in the past, but now I heard it clearly.

‘This crazy bastard, where is this place?’

It was Lee Hee-yeon’s voice.

Talking to her… … .

‘Do you think I can’t jump here? Because this b*tch wants to see you-‘

There must have been a quarrel between the two.

Park Sang-cheol is the guy under Choi Yoon-ha, the assistant team leader of the Samhyeon Group PMC. The owner of the great sword that he collided with Lee Hee-yeon at the tower.

“sh*t, why are you here?”

Jihoo felt better.

But I had the illusion that my hair had gotten better. The sequence of events was quickly and clearly laid out, and the most sensible solution was found.

I went back the way I had just come.

“Aunt Miyeon!”

“Huh? Are you back?”

“No, it’s not like that, it seems like Heeyeon is having a fight right now.”

“Well, if it’s Heeyeon, you know~”

“He belongs to Samhyeon, but this time he was on the second floor because of the attack. We met on the second floor by chance, and he surprised me-”

“what?”

Jump up.

Aunt Miyeon woke up.

“What a bastard! Hmmm. What kind of beautiful Horo~ Job~ guy is to our Jihoo-? And now to Heeyeon~?”

Jihoo definitely tried to say, ‘Belonging to the same team as the guy who ambushed me’, but Aunt Miyeon isn’t the type to listen to that until the end.

Aunt Miyeon’s mood changed.

It is not the appearance of her usual ‘good-natured aunt’, but the appearance of the ‘cooperative head’ of the town of artisans. It was also the image of a ‘warrior’ who had survived this battlefield 20 years ago.

“Hanseong’s house.”

“Yes, boss!”

“I need to call the Samhyeon kids. Are you saying these bastards are going to attack quietly?”

“Yes, I will follow you right away.”

Aunt Miyeon walked without hesitation.

Jihoo followed her.

‘What are you doing, hang out with me? This whole street is on our side.’

Isn’t this what family is all about?

Another bad memory comes to mind. What ‘family’ is, what I wanted so much was there, but I didn’t know it.

* * *

Lee Hee-yeon came out early in the morning.

I didn’t even go up to the 6th floor, and thanks to Jihoo, I was able to sleep little by little, so I didn’t have to rest for long.

‘I was only on the second floor this time, and I made quite a bit of money. I received 20% on the 1st floor, and by-products on the 3rd floor… … .’

A level 4 B-class hunter with power blocked by walls.

If you climb once, you can earn tens of millions of won, if you are lucky, in billions, but it is always a life allowance that guarantees your life.

It is said that it is the 8th floor when overdoing it and the 5th floor when it is safe, but you can die at any time on the 2nd or 3rd floor.

just one mistake.

Clashes with outsiders like yesterday.

It’s not strange when he dies.

Most climbers live that way.

“… … Ha, Shin Ji-hoo you son of a b*tch.”

what to do with this guy

At the top, you should always be cool.

But this time I lost my temper. Collisions are a daily occurrence, and once the situation has been sorted out, we just have to go our separate ways.

Lee Hee-yeon was sensitive.

When he saw the Hunter running towards Jihoo.

The string of rationality in my head snapped.

Because she remembered her brother who died for her when she was young. His appearance overlapped with Jihoo’s.

“It’s not like I don’t know the mind to climb.”

That’s the problem.

Isn’t she the one who knows his heart better than anyone else? Just as she climbs to see her brother, he will have his father buried deep in his heart.

I wish I wasn’t as interested in the tower as I’ve been until now, but it’s already too late. Once you have decided to climb, you will not change.

Because Shin Ji-hoo is that kind of guy.

There is only one way.

“I need to become stronger.”

That’s the only way.

To protect someone, you must become stronger. It will be difficult and difficult, but if you do not give up and work hard, someday you will be able to protect the precious person next to you.

If you don’t dry it, it becomes stronger.

If you go up, go together.

That’s it.

Lee Hee-yeon made up her mind.

‘The silent blade is 300 million, and there are 5,000 installments of bleeding left.’

So, it requires a lot of investment.

Consumables such as potions and scrolls are basic every time, and if you fall into danger, your armor will tear and become completely unusable, or your dagger will break in the skin of an arthropod monster.

If you are lucky enough to use it for a long time, [Restore] several times. After all, when it wears out, it needs to be replaced.

Is that all?

Upgrading equipment is a must to climb higher floors. But the price is as high as the stars in the sky.

“under-“

A sigh came out.

So, when will I be able to break through the 9th floor? Is there any chance of clearing the tower? Will more than 15 floors be possible after 10 years?

At some point, she was blocked by an insurmountable wall, and she had a lot of worries these days.

It had characteristics that anyone would envy, but the more likely it was, the more important was the individual’s talent. And lately, she was acutely feeling the absence of talent.

“What is it, b*tch? Why are you here?”

“… … ?”

“Nice to meet you, b*tch.”

Lee Hee-yeon laughed.

It’s the guy I bumped into on the second floor.

“Why did you come out? Did the team leader obediently let you go?”

“Look at what I’m talking about. How dare you, a level 4-”

“You talk a lot. didn’t you hit me? So are you angry? He’s a funny guy, this.”

Lee Hee-yeon only laughed.

I know why he is angry. When we first bumped into each other, this guy named Park Sang-cheol rushed first, but he was the one who got hit. That’s why he ran with ‘killing intent’ rather than ‘defense’.

A level 5 hunter got hit by a level 4 hunter, so his pride must be hurt. So keep mentioning levels.

“Damn it b*tch-! If the team leader hadn’t stopped you, your head would have fallen from there!”

His voice grew louder.

His blood vessels constricted and his face turned red. Being angry to this extent, seeing the obvious changes in his body, it could be part of his personality.

“Why, are you trying to get the blade out of here? Will you regret it?”

Those words were the trigger.

He gripped the handle of the giant sword hanging from his back.

seureung-

“Where is this crazy bastard raising his sword?”

Heeyeon Lee was taken aback.

You really took it out just because you were a little provocative.

It’s never because I’m afraid. Taking out a weapon at this distance is implicitly forbidden.

Of course, this is because it is a street for ordinary people and craftsmen do not stand still.

But you don’t even care about that? Is there [Anger Control Disorder], a relatively common side effect for melee dealers and tankers?

“Do you think I can’t come in here? Because this b*tch wants to see you-! Raise your weapon too! I’ll rip you limb from limb this time!”

Lee Hee-yeon did not raise a weapon.

I just looked up and opened my mouth.

“You will really regret it.”

“If you don’t lift it, I will let you lift it.”

Huung-

he swung his sword

When the huge sword falls at an imperceptible speed, the wind pressure spreads all around. And at about level 5, that wind pressure becomes a weapon.

woo woo-

Wind pressure wrapped around Lee Hee-yeon and spread to the surroundings.

But then.

“stop!”

“… … ?”

someone shouted.

It wasn’t just loud. It was a wave containing magic power, and it completely eliminated the wind pressure that Park Sang-cheol had spilled.

he was puzzled

I have never experienced such waves of magical power before. His boss, team leader Choi Yun-ha, is also not like this.

Jerk-jerk-

A middle-aged man in a suit approached.

The wave of magical energy he just felt was presumed to be the magic of the bodyguard who was standing as if escorting him, not him.

But that’s not what’s important.

On this artisan street, the only people in suits are those from Samhyeon. Besides, a person who is guarded by a hunter with that level of military power.

“Everyone, who are you!”

Park Sang-cheol felt something strange and asked.

However, the man in the suit ignored him and lowered his head to Lee Hee-yeon, who was next to him.

“sorry. Hunter Lee Hee-yeon, can I apologize for you?”

Lee Hee-yeon crossed her arms and nodded.

There is no need to increase the work.

“My name is Yongpil Oh, the 3rd team leader of Samhyeon Artifact under the Samhyeon Group. We will apologize and compensate for all these circumstances. And at this place, Sangcheol Park’s guild member will never set foot in the Samhyeon Group again.”

“Now, wait a minute. who are you-”

“Shut up over there. If you don’t want to see your team leader Choi Yoon-ha fired.”

“… … .”

He shut up.

Heeyeon Lee thought.

‘Speech is anger control disorder, true education is the medicine.’

She shrugged her shoulders when she saw Mrs. Kim Mi-yeon and Shin Ji-hoo standing behind Oh Yong-pil.

“… … ?”

Then, all of a sudden, I felt strange.

It was because Jihoo’s gaze felt something different from before. It wasn’t that his magic power increased, nor did his physical abilities get stronger.

But something… … .

The eyes changed.

I could only explain it like that.

“What, are you standing there like that?”

“… … Have you changed something?”

“Are you more handsome?”

“Oh, what are you saying-”

Jihoo said jokingly.

The person who came as an escort for Oh Yong-pil dragged Park Sang-cheol. Oh Yong-pil bowed his head and apologized to Aunt Kim Mi-yeon, saying he was sorry.

“Ugh, I knew it would be like this. They say that if there are more outsiders, this kind of thing will happen.”

“It’s great, take some money as compensation.”

“… … hey you.”

“why.”

“Are you crazy?”

You don’t have to give up the money they give you.

There will be many things like this in the future. There is no need to open each one. It was like that 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and it will be this time too, but this distance is not that weak.

“Let’s go get some coffee. I have prepared a present for you.”

“… … A sudden gift?”

“Is it my promised bribe for the next climb?”

She glared at that, but only shrugged her shoulders. I don’t know anything else, but I’m sure I can’t stand this.

Because it’s what she needs most.

* * *

Jihoo and Heeyeon came to the general store after saying thanks to Aunt Miyeon. After making a cup of coffee and waiting outside for a while, I sat down at the workbench.

Anticipation rises.

It’s not the Jihoo it was just a few weeks ago.

At that time, it was something that could not even be touched. Rather, if touched, the grade would drop and the level would be cut in half.

Items that have a limited level of appraisal or recovery.

‘It’s different now.’

『Ogre Gloves [Rare] (Lv. 04)』

: Gloves made by squeezing ogre tendons and weaving them with thread. It is very tough, tough and flexible. A great artisan weaved it, and a wizard of great skill carved a magic circuit.

* [Lesser Durability Enhancement]

* [Enhanced Lesser Attributes]

* [Low-mid power boost]

Once you see this, there is nothing to fix.

Forcibly using SP to raise the level didn’t make it noticeably better, and aiming for the [History] rank was not very efficient.

‘Rating and level are not everything.’

What artifacts do you use?

Just as it is useless for a wizard to raise his strength, he must use the artifacts that suit him efficiently.

So what I thought.

‘An option that can amplify destructive power based on senses and quickness.’

There is something called [Overlap Acceleration].

It is an option that increases the ‘destructive power’ by increasing the user’s ‘speed’ as the user attacks the target.

Definitely a rare option.

But it’s not unconditionally popular.

If the user’s ‘sensation’ is not particularly high, 5 to 7 overlaps are the limit, and if you use it more than that, it’s fast enough to hurt yourself.

But Lee Hee-yeon is different.

Lee Hee-yeon, who has trained [Super Sense] for more than 10 years, can use 200% of [Intermediate Stack Acceleration].

Let’s add a little bit there.

If [Speed] can be fully utilized with [Sense], it will be amplified to [Strength] as an option. That is the option Lee Hee-yeon needs the most.

‘Maximum stacking of low-level stacking haste speeds three times the experience. The destructive power is doubled.’
