I Returned, But My Power is the Same

[A new skill related to 「Muscle Strengthening」 is created.]

new skill?

[Creating… … (25%)]

[Creating… … (50%)]

[Creating… … (75%)]

If it's related to muscle strengthening, of course it's a skill that affects muscles.

But I still don't know exactly what to give.

[Creating… … (100%)]

[Creation is complete.]

[Check the skill information below.]

I swallowed once again and checked the skill window.

[Name: Muscle Pumping]

muscle pumping.

As expected.

Just by looking at the name, you can see that it affects the muscles.

[Description: Instantly pumps muscles for a certain period of time.]

The effect is similar to the existing muscle strengthening, but slightly different.

This is because the word 'in an instant for a certain amount of time' is added before it.

In other words, it is an active skill like swordsmanship.

In some ways it can be good and in other ways it can be bad.

This kind of skill has different powers depending on the rank.

So, I'll have to check the rating first.

I lowered the window a bit.

[Class: A]

Five.

It's a game set.

There's nothing more to see.

He closed the skill window with a satisfied smile.

However, once you try it, you should try it. To figure out exactly what kind of power it has.

[Activates the muscle pumping skill.]

When you apply force to your body, it activates immediately.

At first, there was no reaction.

Then, at some point, my body began to boil.

Then an amazing thing happened.

Kwakwak-!

Power soared throughout his body, just like when he used Mana Enhancement.

I took off my clothes to check it with the naked eye.

Because of time, I was the only one in the training room anyway. It's not like I have to worry about other people's opinions.

Her exposed upper body was reflected in the mirror on the wall.

No, there was nothing to look at.

Arms, chest, stomach, and all over the body were lumpy muscles.

When I touched it, it felt like a rock.

“Ooh… … .”

Excitement comes out of your mouth.

It looks like this with the naked eye, but what about the actual power?

Of course you already feel it.

Even just clenching a fist, the force itself felt different from before activation.

But I'd like to know for sure.

I picked up a dumbbell next to me.

And in that moment, I knew right away.

Dumbbells, dumbbells that were so heavy before, are now as light as a feather.

swish-

I tried to lift a heavier dumbbell.

The results were the same.

swish-

It was still like a feather.

How the hell did the power increase?

[The effect of the muscle pumping skill will disappear soon.]

Admiration for a moment.

As if that was the case, the muscles began to shrink, and eventually the effect itself disappeared.

[Stamina is decreasing.]

[Stamina is decreasing.]

[Stamina is decreasing.]

There are risks as well.

but no regrets

The duration will increase automatically as you increase your proficiency, and stamina can be recovered again.

Training ended there.

I want to use it more, but I've been steeling up to the last minute, so my body is full of strength.My stamina also dropped due to my muscle pumping skill.

The results are, of course, satisfactory.

The effect of the muscle pumping skill is also effective, and it has made certain tasks easier than ever.

‘To save the Five Saekcho, you have to catch some troublesome monsters… … If you use muscle pumping, you can easily catch it.’

next day.

Seong Da-kyung also returned to the unit.

With all the bandages on his hand.

“The heel technique has really improved these days. There are no scars.”

"Is not it? Interesting."

The magic bomb exploded at that point, and there was really no scar at all.

Clean.

On the one hand, it makes my heart ache.

How bad was Lieutenant Young So-jin?

It was so bad that the heel technique improved so much, but did the scar remain?

Guess I'll have to get the five colors as soon as possible.

I feel like I want to go to the rescue right now.

But you need a procedure. Not only that dungeon, but no matter which dungeon you go to.

That evening, after work, I visited the company commander's office.

“Captain, I have something to ask you for a moment.”

"What?"

Kwak Sang-gi asks without looking at me.

He is sitting and only tapping on his cell phone.

“I want to enter a dungeon.”

“What dungeon?”

“A mud golem dungeon in Seoul Forest.”

"Alone?"

"Yes."

“Why are you going in there alone?”

Suddenly, I put my phone down at some point.

And he looks at me with annoyed eyes.

answered calmly.

“After a while, there will be physical ability and combat ability tests, right? I want to do some training for that.”

“While catching mud golems alone?”

"Yes. As you know, Mud Golems have weak attack power, but aren't they strong enough? There is no one like him to build strength.”

fact is true

There is no monster as good as a mud golem in raising strength.

But the real purpose is to find the five-colored plants hidden behind the mud golem.

“… … So, when are you going?”

“I want to go this weekend.”

“… … I get it. I'll take a look at the battalion commander."

"Yes, thank you."

Just looking at his face makes me feel like he doesn't want to be accepted.

But if you don't want to accept it, you have to have some justification for it.

That's why I decided to go on the weekend instead of on a weekday.

“Then let’s go. Loyalty.”

If the report goes up in the morning of tomorrow, the conclusion will be made around the evening of the next day.

Of course, it is a matter of when the conclusion will be made, and there is no possibility that it will not be approved.

Other executives often enter the dungeon alone in this way.

Mud Golem is not a lieutenant, but a second lieutenant who can easily catch him.

But the next morning.

Things turned out to be completely unexpected.

“First platoon commander, have a good weekend.”

It's not that it's not approved.

It was approved, and the approval was made in just an hour.

“It’s great for Mud Golems to build up their strength. In the past, when I was like the 1st platoon commander, I used to catch a lot.”

"Ugh… … .”

“But why? What's wrong?”

“Not because I didn’t know it would be approved so quickly… … Thank you, battalion commander.”

"haha. What a difficult thing.”

The battalion commander chuckled and pointed to my rank commander.

“And you didn’t tell me about it. Is it because of the 1st platoon commander that I added another one? Even if you said you would go to the Iron Golem Dungeon instead of the Mud Golem Dungeon, you would have approved it right away.”

“… … .”

“Then tell me to give it a try.”

“… … Yes! Loyalty!”

“Yes, yes.”

This made me a bit more certain.

Lieutenant Colonel Hwang Dae-man, no, Colonel Hwang Dae-man is now completely on my side.

that weekend.

I woke up early in the morning and got ready.

I got everything from my combat uniform, my combat boots, my battle helmet, and even the magic sword.

I don't have anything to write about, but I also brought a horse gun.

The rice was already well eaten.

He went straight to his destination.

Seoul Forest.

Thanks to the early arrival, there were hardly any people even on the weekend.

It doesn't matter if there are a lot of them because they'll be inside the dungeon anyway.

[Enter the dungeon.]

As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a muddy ground.

This is where mud golems live.

Although it is a bit inconvenient to move, it is a hundred times better than climbing a high hill while surviving the severe snow during training in the cold season.

Five Saekcho is located at the end of this dungeon.

And there are many mud golems on the way to it.

So in order to get the five colors...

Koo!

Koo!

You have to deal with all those mud golems.

Koo!

Koo!

footsteps are noisy

The only thing that can't be done is that it's very large.

It is almost 3 m tall.

But it's only the size and the attack power is bad.

The attack method is also simple.

Whoops!

Even if it's authentic like this, it just tickles me.

There is also the influence of skills such as Iron Ong Castle, but the attack power is lowered that much.

Forget!

The problem is defense.

Mudra is a name that does not fit the name, and boasts a very strong defense.

It is not immune to any kind of attack.

Tang Tang!

Even if you shoot it with a horse-gun, it will come out of the road.

Of course, that doesn't really matter to me.

Because you can use the sword.

sususu!

A cloud of smoke rising over the sword.

mana.

He swung his sword with it.

The mud golem's arm, which was said to be as hard as steel, was cut off.

I couldn't cut it at all.

As Nunui said, the defense is so high.

After five or six more swings, the arm is completely amputated.

Instead of blood, mud pours out.

It's a fun sight.

He smiled and continued the hunt.

It probably took some time.

It was closer to a doll than a living creature, so even if the limbs, as well as the upper and lower body, were separated, they were able to move freely.

If they were other monsters, they would have died instantly.

Golem hunting is difficult because of this.

Not to mention, if you move on to something like an iron golem.

I decided to save some muscle pumping skills.

If you use it, the catch speed will of course be faster, but your stamina will drop that much.

If there are only a few fish to catch in the future, and you waste your stamina for nothing, it can make things more difficult.

[Experience of strength stats increases!]

[Experience of the stamina stat increases!]

[Experience of agility stats increases!]

[Experience of vitality stat increases!]

[Experience of mana stats increases!]

Did you go for an hour?

The experience level goes up.

Monsters that are difficult to catch also give good experience.

[The level of vitality stats has risen!]

[The mana stat level has risen!]

The vitality stats and mana stats, which were almost full of experience, leveled up.

Yes, it's level 1.

But there was a significant difference.

First of all, the vitality stat raised the overall ability of the body, in other words, strength, stamina, and agility.

Stamina also went up.Mana stats slightly increased the power of swordsmanship.

Koo!

Koo!

My stamina seems to have recovered a bit, so let's try some muscle pumping skills.

Of course, the opponent is not another person, but a mud golem.

It won't have a dramatic effect.

So don't expect too much.

[Activates the muscle pumping skill.]

[Muscles are pumped.]

The proficiency level has not improved much yet.

He felt his muscles rising up and raised his sword.

Three mud golems run away with anger.

It seems that my friends got a fever.

Then you have to make it hotter.

I also ran across.

And he swung his sword like he had always done.

Scratch!

Something caught on it, and it just fell off.

was the body.

At one time, not even an arm or a leg, but a torso was cut off in one fell swoop.

Scratch!

So did the other guy.

The body split in two at once.

Beside him, the bastard came like a rhinoceros, pushing his head away, and then his head was blown away.

He had nothing more to wield his sword.

All three were instantly incapacitated.

[Stamina is dropping.]

[Stamina is dropping.]

[Stamina is dropping.]

Stamina is dropping.

However, the hunting time was greatly shortened by that.

Exceeding expectations.

Because the opponent is a mud golem, I thought it wouldn't have that much effect, but it wasn't.

Scratch!

Scratch!

Scratch!

Something of a tribe wielding a sword is cut out.

Thanks to that, I ran the distance I had been running for an hour before, and after using my muscle pumping skill, I ran it in 15 minutes.

[Stamina is dropping rapidly.]

[Stamina is dropping rapidly.]

[Stamina is dropping rapidly.]

[Muscle pumping skill is stopped due to lack of stamina. ]

The stamina consumption was also much faster, but because of that, the activation was forcibly stopped, but still.

Exceeding expectations.

No, it's beyond imagination.

[You have cleared the dungeon.]

[Use the exit to get out.]

It's already been dealt with anyway.

And it takes a while to catch it, but it's only a mud golem, so you can catch more regardless of your stamina.

trudge-

I decided to improve my muscle pumping skills in the future and walked forward.

Now that you've cleared the obstacles, it's time to go find your stuff.

The road was not difficult.

I just had to keep going.

But since I knew it, I would have wandered all over the place if I didn't know how to go so easily.

About time for a cup of tea, a small forest appears.

here… … If you go this way... … Oh!

A single grass of five colors stands tall.

just dug the ground

It was quite large, and I tried to keep it as undamaged as possible, so it took a while.

When the roots are finally revealed.

He carefully grabbed the stem and lifted it.

That moment.

flash!

Suddenly, there was a light from the ground.

It wasn't because of the quinceweed.

The five-color candle was already in my hand.

The brilliance soon faded.

Startled, he fell backwards, then thrust his head into the ground.

I wonder what the hell is this for?
