Return of the Archmage

Chapter 52

2.

As soon as he entered the country, numerous reporters gathered.

“You played a decisive role in preventing level 6 crack brakes in China. What was the last skill you showed me? Is that a new S-level skill you learned?”

“The weapon wasn’t originally used, was it a new one you secretly got?”

“A word, please!”

“After catching Johnson Shark, there seems to have been friction with China, did you have a disagreement over the issue of distribution?”

I forgot about it for a while, but Kang In-ho is the world’s No. 1 user.

He was a top star that people around the world were curious about, and many people even watched him poo.

This phenomenon is by no means unusual.

But if there’s a difference this time.

“Lee Hyesung user! Who’s next to you?”

“You did a great job with Kang In-ho again in crack brakes, do you have any plans to reveal the class? Or the magic you used this time!”

“Is that a Chinese saint next to you?”

“What? Guangzhou saint?”

“I heard that the Chinese government is protecting the Guangzhou saint. Why?”

The fact that all the attention didn’t go to Kang In-ho.

The moment Ariel turned the camera around, all the attention was on her.

In an instant, Kang In-ho was left out.

“……Oh, my. It’s strange today.”

In China and other unusual days, a despondent smile comes a smile.

Nevertheless, there is no envy or jealousy.

While gaining strength from these interests.

“How can I care so much about Hyesung?”

You don’t even have a sense of competition or a sense of crisis!

Even when I shake my head, I automatically smile.

It’s inevitable.

Far away, if you were watching Lee Hye-sung and Ariel shamelessly responding to interviews among hundreds of reporters, even though they were tired of having their arms crossed, you would have done it if it wasn’t Kang In-ho.

“It’s like my babies.”

It feels like that.

Maybe it’s gone too far.

As such, there is work in China and the feeling of mental distance has narrowed a lot.

“No, it’s because you strengthened it.”

Anyway, Kang In-ho just watched until he finished the interview pleasantly.

“I’m not a Guangzhou saint. I can’t use it now, so don’t call me injured after a crack break.”

“No, it’s a cracked creature. Aren’t you being too harsh? Do you think he’s a monster from a crack? It’s a face and body that’s hard to see on Earth.”

“Marriage? Are you crazy? I’d rather shave my head and go into the temple.”

It was fun, too.

As expected, I keep feeling that my eyes are not wrong with Lee Hye-sung every moment.

Not to mention the power he has, he has more sense of using it than power.

You’re not afraid of the world, you’re revealing and enjoying the power you have!

“It’s like my old days…….”

I can’t even say that I’m watching it.

Of course I’m not intimidated.

As always.

“Level 73. I’ll have to work harder.”

Kang In-ho was also a man of confidence in himself.

***

“Ha. It’s a little quiet now.”

“Wow. It’s amazing. Are all the houses so high up here?

“Lay down next to you and sleep. Because I’m tired.”

“Can’t you go out and take a look?”

“You can do it alone.

“No, I don’t want to. I want to go with you.”

Lee Hye-sung, who barely escaped from the airport and returned to the hotel, threw himself on the bed.

Han Seo-young and Han Tae-sung also contacted them, but they ignored them for now because they thought they would ask about Ariel or about 300 questions when they met.

Too much has happened in the last few days.

Only with things out of control.

“Oh, those were the days when nightmares came to mind after a long time.”

I thought it would be a pink future when I came back to Earth.

No, I was actually drawing a pink future.

It was fun to get proper compensation for the system.

And then this happened.

Stare at the cause.

Ariel lying next to her and staring.

I can’t send it back.

“When I was with you, things always happened.”

“You’ll be fine this time. I didn’t do anything! He wrote it himself. But how did you do that?”

“There is. There is such a thing.”

For now, I erased unnecessary worries because it is true.

And I open my skills at the thought that comes to my mind.

[Spiritual Dominator]

▶ Grade: SS

▶ Effect

1. Can control the soul (1 of 1)

2. ‘Spiritual Control (SS) effect applied at all times

▶ Condition of domination: conformity or submission of the other soul

▶ Dominant: Ariel (SS)

It was so hectic and I forgot about it for a while because there were more things I needed to pay attention to.

I see my back is pulling.

“What the hell is this?”

If you’re going to argue, you should have argued then.

But there’s no time to argue while you’re being taken.

I cleaned it up and watched it, but I can’t believe it even if I watch it again.

“No, I’ve never had the will to use it, but it’s written as it pleases.”

“Why?”

What’s the principle?

Looking back, I have never thought that I want to dominate Ariel’s soul.

Looking back on the 10 years I spent with her not only in China but also in terms of fantasy.

“Did you happen to want to be my slave or something?”

So I tried to find the cause from Ariel.

Ariel nodded her head.

“If the slave side has a taste, I will.”

“No, crazy. Not a slave like that. In China.”

“Well, I don’t know. When you reached out your hand, there was a mana that covered your soul.”

“I did.”

“I thought it was yours, so I just adapted. And then the bond between you and your hazy soul got stronger.”

We found the culprit.

Lee Hye-sung frowned a lot.

Then I looked up at the sky.

“It was a go-stop between the two of us.”

Let out a sigh.

One is not a genuine sigh.

“It’s amazing.”

On a fantasy level, the first meeting with Ariel was so intense, and the 10 years of meeting with her were so spectacular that I just instinctively avoid her, but I don’t think it will be the case on Earth.

If I was curious, I’d be more curious.

Heavenly punishment.

Skill that his manaro had never dared to use, had to take all the sacred power that Ariel had left.

[Heavenly punishment]

▶ Grade : ?

▶ Content: Using God’s power, punish heaven.

▶ Effect

1. Randomly lower the punishment of heaven.

I checked Ariel’s skill information that followed through soul control.

Simple content rather makes one realize its power.

“You’re so insincere and strong.”

It’s not a skill in the first place, it’s God’s magic.

Is it natural that the system cannot be graded?

A smirk comes out.

These are the things I was so curious about.

Ariel.

a mysterious woman

She is the child of the goddess of good fortune and also uses the power of other goddesses freely.

It is hard to understand why she has been held by the Pope for three years.

And there were many times when even Hyesung couldn’t handle that strength.

Most of them were sacred magic, so I didn’t feel threatened, but the power of God was quite a burden to Lee Hye-sung, who had to return to Earth.

So I wanted to know.

What kind of power is that?

What kind of powers are there?

Ariel, who unconditionally conforms to him, could not find out on a fantasy level.

In a similar sense to Lee Hye-sung, Ariel also used “just” magic.

“This is how it is.”

Even 10-circle wizard Lee Hye-sung couldn’t do it. On Earth, the power of the system works.

Once upon a time, curiosity rose just like Lee Hye-sung, who was on the continent for the first time.

I wanted to know everything about her.

“…I think it’s a pervert.”

“What?”

“No.”

It checks user information regardless.

Information about the dazzling beautiful woman in front of you, not his information that you see once in a while.

[Ariel]

▶ Grade: SS

▶ Level : 1

▶ Class : Adult

▶ Characteristics: Sacred (SS), Lucky (SS), Blessed (SS)

▶ Stats

– Force : 1

– Agility : 1

– Physical strength : 1

– Sacred power: 1

▶ Skill: Heaven’s punishment (?), healing (SS), blessing (SS)

With confirmation that it was too unrealistic to be impressed, Lee Hye-sung thought.

“I want to show it to you.”

All levels and stats are initialized.

“Too many abilities have disappeared. At the end of the day, all the sacred power you left disappeared because of your power. What the hell did you do? Did the goddess give you strength, too?”

“No, I wrote yours.”

The body was safely crossed thanks to that ridiculous SS-class luck characteristic, but the level and stats were reset like Lee Hye-sung due to the penalty.

One. What are you doing?

As if laughing at Kang In-ho, who has been struggling for years to get through the second slot and barely trying to match one SS-level characteristic, here are the three SS-level characteristics that came from birth.

Skills are also all above the SS level in the remaining three.

Heaven’s punishment is no longer available, but it’s a skill that needs to be sealed for a while.

But I know this isn’t all.

Heads always fly when you’re relieved, when you’re full of faith.

“Please, I hope it’s not a sweet potato skill to steal my experience.”

I pray and confirm.

I don’t let go of my tension until the end.

[Heal]

▶ Grade: SS

▶ Contents: Healing the target.

▶ Effect

1. Purify all harmful effects on the target.

2. Restores the physical strength of the target.

[Blessing]

▶ Grade: SS

▶ Content: Bless the target.

1. Increases the power of a blessed object.

2. Raise the number of people who are blessed.

3. Increases the stamina of a blessed target.

4. Increases the mana of a blessed target.

5. Increase the amount of experience earned by the blessed target.

6. Increases the defense of a blessed target.

7. Increases the attack power of a blessed target.

The tension of not letting go, did not betray the master.

“…Oh, my God.

God exists.

Lee Hye-sung kneeled down and prayed again.

3.

Lee Hye-sung is also a person.

I want to be strong quickly and raise my level.

I’m that strong now that I’ve hit the top!

They don’t even turn a blind eye to the past glory.

He is cool-headed.

It is infinitely light but at the same time infinitely computational.

Then his position he saw was too vague.

With only a crack core, it can achieve comparable strength to the top ranker.

That’s all there is to it.

It is temporary and disposable.

That is also his power and undeniable fact, but there are too many conditions.

Above all, even if you do so, there is no guarantee that you will beat the top rankers.

So I had to raise my level.

Do as the Romans do when you go to Rome, the Italian man who abides by the Romans!

How attractive.

Using 100% or 150% of the system to incorporate what you have learned from Dragon Road, you can show what happens if you never kneel down and touch him when a nation tries to persecute him.

It was important in that sense.

Soul-dominating.

A single-use property.

Ambiguous details described as supplementary.

It looks good to share experience values, but if you interpret it differently, it comes differently.

“Don’t tell me you split your experience in half.”

The effect of soul control is applied even if it is not attached to Ariel.

If you divide the experience in half and share it with each other, it means that she’s rather quick with zero combat power!

We have to compare the amount of experience that depends on SS-class blessing by looking at how much it increases, but that alone makes us feel pretty bad.

So I ran straight to check.

“Let’s hunt and see.”

I ran to level 4 crack for the test.

============================ Review of the work ============================

I want to roll it. It’s not artificial.

Ps. The last two episodes of the second volume were covered in a foreign form, as well as episodes at the fantasy level. I’m sorry that I couldn’t tell you in advance to readers who are uncomfortable with foreign exchange even though I handled it because it was not related to the main episode.

I’ve always wanted to try this kind of development, but I think I was inexperienced because it was my first time trying it.

The timing coincided with the pay-per-view switch, and I was so busy that I didn’t think I had to announce it in advance.

Of course, I won’t use it often so that it doesn’t interfere with the flow. If you need the last part of the book, one or two, please understand that it can be used in the form of an episode, and I’ll make sure to post a review of the previous episodes. ㅠ.ㅠ
