I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Chapter 188 sail

was momentarily chilled.

I thought the gun wasn't going to explode all of a sudden.

But it wasn't.

bang!

The gun fired bullets as normal.

And in that moment I knew. Why did the light spread from the muzzle?

Mana was engulfed in bullets.

It was different from usual.

Normally, if only a little bit of mana was buried, it was literally wrapped around it.

It wasn't just that.

bang!

The bullet killed the monster instantly.

Until now, he had to be hit by at least five or six shots to death, but this time he died in just one shot.

It was then that the notification sounded.

[The new skill “Matan (魔彈)” has been released.]

[The bullet is imbued with mana, greatly increasing attack power, penetration power, and explosive power.]

Mattan.

What I had hoped for was finally made into a skill.

I didn't even think about it.

Until recently, it was still standing still.

‘Did the training so far pile up and pile up and explode at once? Or did I awaken my senses to a bird I didn't know about.'

anyway good

That you can use magic bullets from now on.

That was it.

He smiled and put his hand on the trigger again.

The target was far and wide.

It was the monster that spread all over the sky.

Aimed at one of the dogs again.

And pulled the trigger.

bang!

The sound is almost the same.

But the power was double to double to double.

It was stuck in the chest of the monster, and its body exploded.

It was an effect created by the mana in the bullet.

‘Is that a big hit?’

The magic bullet skill was just created.

It's just been made, but if that's enough, what if you've increased your proficiency?

I'm already curious

No, there was no need to wonder.

Tang Tang!

You could tell just by looking at the bullets fired by high-ranking officers above the rank of major nearby.

Their magic bullets killed one guy and even killed the guy behind him.

Even three or four of them exploded.

Of course, there was some luck involved.

Monsters came rushing in in a straight line.

But nonetheless.

The attack itself is truly deceptive.

'If you raise your magic bullet well, you can use it more usefully than a sword?'

that's the word

Even so, it can't be used more usefully than a sword.

In addition to the black sword, there is a higher level technique called sword strength.

There are things that are even higher than that sword sword.

Tang Tang!

He was drenched in magic bullets and continued to hunt monsters.

This joy of tasting and growing at the same time as training.

and a sense of accomplishment.

nothing can compare

“Operation Officer! Operation Officer!”

“Yes, Dojin-ah.”

“I finally made it!”

When given a brief break, I immediately went to see Lieutenant Young So-jin.

She wanted to let her know about this in the first place.

“Are you successful? What?"

“Matan! Finally made with skill!”

"really? Is it really made?”

"Yes! I’ve been using it for a while now!”

"that is great! Congratulations, Dojin-ah!”

“Haha, thank you. It’s all thanks to the operation officer.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin said, 'Are you saying it's my virtue again? Dojin said, ‘You did a good job~’, but this time, she is unconditionally thanks to her.

Everything from one to ten of her was taught by her.

Whenever she got stuck, she kept pointing it out.

He is a very grateful person.

It's not like this, but after the operation to retake Jeju Island is over, I'll have to buy you a nice present.

You won't want to take it, but let's forcefully give it to you.

This can never just pass.

* * *

The machine wouldn't have been able to do it so terribly.

It was a series of training, training, training, from waking up to sleeping.

I was confident in that direction, but in the end I stuck out my tongue.

But it was good nonetheless.

Thank you, time went by so quickly.

Also, because it's so strong.

[Strength: Lv.60]

[Health: Lv.58]

[Agility: Lv.56]

[Animation: Lv.35]

[Mana: Lv.34]

The three basic stats are a whopping 4 levels, and the rest of vitality and mana have risen by 5 levels more than that.

In the original case, it would have taken at least half a year.

No, not even half a year.

It would have taken at least 8-10 months.

But it was finished in just two months.

I can't believe it even though I'm seeing it with my own two eyes.

I felt it during the first joint training, but I don't think it would be bad to train with this routine even after the operation is over.

One growth is really amazing, isn't it?

Ah.

No.

No matter how good growth is, you can't do it until you give up on life.

The second joint training is just right.

[The proficiency of swordsmanship-related skills is skyrocketing!]

[The proficiency of gun-related skills is skyrocketing!]

[The proficiency of defense-related skills is skyrocketing!]

[The proficiency of mana-related skills is skyrocketing!]

[Movement-related skill proficiency is skyrocketing!]

Just like the stats, the skill has risen tremendously.

Since the level is not displayed separately, the exact number is not known, but the notification proved it instead.

And I could feel it while fighting.

Scratch!

“Sew it!”

Without going too far, just take the Black Troll as an example.

Even standing still and swinging the sword with one hand is enough to win.

And again, it's a black troll, not a regular troll.

At the beginning of this year, I was struggling with normal trolls, but now I am able to easily cook black trolls beyond normal trolls.

It wasn't just the attack that got stronger.

The defense also rises vertically, so no matter how much the troll hits me, it doesn't hurt at all.

Only the battle uniform is torn.

👌👌👌👌👌

When he swings his sword, his body is torn like a piece of paper.

Its boasting ability to regenerate and recover is of no use.

Before it was regenerated, and before it was restored, my sword ripped it to pieces.

'wait… Come to think of it, I’ve never used it before.’

[Regeneration: When a body part is cut or damaged, it is regenerated to its original state. However, it takes a considerable amount of time to regenerate.]

A regenerative trait obtained from a troll long ago.

I've never had an arm or a leg cut off, so I haven't used it at all.

It's not bad to try it once in this Jeju Island recapture operation... … No.

It's good that this doesn't trigger.

Being triggered means that the situation is unfavorable to me.

I immediately closed the properties window.

I hope that I will never use it for the rest of my life.

Training continued.

The magic bullet has also become more and more comfortable to use.

Large-scale battles and battles with boss-level monsters have become more proficient in any situation.

Then finally.

The end has come.

“You’ve worked hard all this time, crew.”

In mid-August, above the four columns of the Hunter Headquarters Battalion Field.

Commander Gyungpil Yoo stood there looking at the crew.

His loud voice caught the attention of many crew members.

“We will now finish all the training and move on to Jeju Island. And the lost land will be reclaimed.”

My heart warms.

excitement is heightened

“The training results are excellent. If you just do what you've done here, you will be able to create great results in Jeju Island. Let’s go to Jeju Island!”

“Wow!”

Starting with the selection, the first joint training at the 77th Special Forces, and the second joint training here at the Hunter Headquarters.

After a long preparation process, the time has finally come to bear fruit.

shake.

My heart is beating very fast.

I don't think this tension can be resolved even if I swallow up ten Woo Hwang Cheong Shim Hwan.

But it's a nice tension.

It's not because I'm anxious, it's because my heart is full.

“So that we can prepare thoroughly without missing anything.”

"Yes!"

Preparations began soon.

From personal items such as combat uniforms, combat helmets, combat boots, swords, firearms, and portable potions to combat items such as magic bombs and bullets.

took everything

It took a few hours because it was too much, but if you think that it is directly related to your life, there is nothing to be bothered about.

Rather, I'll check one more time to see if I'm missing anything.

After loading is complete.

I was given the details of the operation in earnest.

“The 1st Battalion goes to Yeosu, the 2nd Battalion goes to Mokpo, and the 3rd Battalion goes from Wando to Jeju Island. All means of transportation are by boat.”

Using an airplane would be easier in many ways, but there is no proper landing site.

Because most of the land is occupied by monsters.But it's not very out-of-the-box.

Our 1st battalion, among them, my 1st company, was assigned the mission for him.

“As soon as the 1st Company arrives on Jeju Island, it moves to each landing site and cleans up the monsters there.”

"all right."

“The role of the 1st Company is important. Clearing the way makes it easier to send supplies and reinforcements.”

"Yes."

digging a way out.

Taking on such a daunting task can be a burden.

But if you think about it the other way around, it means that our 1st Company is a reliable entity.

Rather, it is a good thing.

“Let’s do well, Dojin-ah.”

“Yes, operations officer.”

Together with Lieutenant Young So-jin, they shouted fighting.

Another person there.

Kwak Sang-gi intervened between me and Lieutenant Young So-jin.

“Let’s go and do well, operations officer, 1st platoon commander. We have a very important mission.”

I think I've heard Kwak Sang-gi say good-bye about ten more times since the 77th Special Task Force.

At this point, it might look good, but not at all.

still in doubt

I just don't have an idea that I want to believe.

People don't usually change that easily.

Especially if it's Kwak Sang-gi.

Besides, I've seen Kwak Sang-gi before he returned.

The Kwak Sang-gi I know is not the kind of person who will ever change.

“I hope that everyone will be able to carry out the duties assigned to them by their battalion or company.”

"Yes!"

“Depending on what you do, it will be decided whether Jeju Island will be retaken or if the monsters will devour Jeju Island again. Be mindful.”

"Yes!"

Other than our 1st Company, other companies and other battalions were also assigned duties.

or build a defense on the outskirts.

open a supply route.

or defend the landing.

were things to do.

Of course, once all the processes are in place, the operation begins immediately.

For the main operation to retake Jeju Island.

“Tomorrow! I hope you can get a good night's sleep for today and get ready for the operation that will start tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

August 14, 2042.

Now it's tomorrow.

It is more meaningful because it overlaps with Liberation Day.

The TV, which had been turned on for a while, was constantly reporting about the operation.

― This is Yeosu. Tomorrow, special forces will arrive here to reclaim Jeju Island. Let's learn more about it in the related video.

― This is breaking news. Starting tomorrow at 8 o'clock, the Republic of Korea will enter a wartime system to retake Jeju Island. To this end, President XXX delivered through a spokesperson that he would actively support the Hunter Headquarters and the special forces of the Hunter Headquarters, and that he would spare no effort in providing all necessary support for the operation.

― Commander Gyung-pil Yoo, led by the Republic of Korea Hunter soldiers, will work hard to retake and defend Jeju Island. Countries are watching South Korea's move, and the United States has actively cooperated with this operation and has already deployed XXX units and aircraft carriers in the vicinity of Jeju Island.

Every channel was about that.

As time passed, the interest of the people grew that much.

I talked on the phone a while ago, and my sister said she was too busy.

It's been a week since I've been unable to write related articles, investigate, report, or go home.

‘If this is enough from now on, tomorrow will be even more chaotic.’

shrugged.

Anyway, what I care about is not the media, but only Jeju Island.

It is important to carry out the duties given to you in Jeju Island as well as possible.

I went to bed right away.

And when I open my eyes again.

“Move quickly!”

The sail for the operation to retake Jeju Island has risen.
