Return To Level Up

Hajin Kang sighed deeply when he saw the magic stones piled up like a mountain.

Among them, you must choose a Manastone with the Spirit attribute.

The reason Kang Ha-jin told me to bring all the magic stones was because the mental attribute magic stones were very rare.

Debris from the Manastone Mine had the most spatial properties, and properties such as freeze, fire, lightning, and wind were uniformly below it.

Below it were the light and dark attributes, and the mental attributes were below it.

So, out of 100, the ratio was about one mental attribute.

So, how many manastones do you have to go through to create a mental barrier for all of the Guardians?

‘Shall we do a classification now?’

If we had created an automated process that could classify manastones of other attributes like a system that extracts space manastones, the work could be finished sooner than we thought.

Hajin Kang took a deep breath and approached Maseok Mountain.

And he began to sort the mana stones one by one into several pre-prepared barrels.

The simple repetitive labor, which you never know when it will end, has begun.

With a nervous expression, Lee Won-joong was sitting on the sofa in Kang Ha-jin's room with only the tip of his buttocks slightly draped.

He stopped what he was doing when Ha-jin Kang said he was calling and ran like Deuk-dal.

But the strong Hajin was not there yet.

Lee Won-joong came too quickly, so the time was a little off.

While waiting, Wonjoong Lee thought of all the stars.

'What's going on? did i do something wrong Why didn't the other spirits call me and only me? Are you going to be dispatched? You're not asking me to leave the guild, are you?'

When Lee Won-joong, who was still timid, began to think negatively, there was no end to it.

After digging deep into the basement and almost passing through the mantle, Kang Ha-jin entered.

“Mr. Wonjoong Lee? Why are you doing this?”

Lee Won-joong was sitting with his head bowed almost to the table on his shrugged shoulders.

It was as if the mortal sinner was just before the plaster mortal sin.

“No, Master! Oh, are you here!”

Lee Won-joong got up quickly, bent his waist 90 degrees, and greeted him.

"Long time no see. You've been very busy these days, haven't you?"

“Oh no! I was happy because I was busy!”

Lee Won-joong was restless when he said that. After saying hello, anxiety raised his head again.

The timid Lee Won-jung couldn't help but ask why he called him. I just waited for Ha-jin Kang to bring out his words.

And Lee Won-jung, who had such low self-esteem and was timid, was an easy prey for the succubus.

“Lee Won-joong, are you dating any women these days?”

Lee Won-joong looked at Ha-jin Kang in surprise.

“Hey, I’m leaving!”

Kang Ha-jin was rather surprised by Lee Won-joong's reaction.

He didn't know that he would say that he would break up anytime soon.

It's been quite some time since the succubus started attacking Lee Won-jung. By now, if anyone tried to separate the succubus, there was bound to be a strong backlash.

But before I even try that, I'd say break up. This was by no means an ordinary reaction.

Kang Ha-jin looked at Lee Won-joong with a strange gaze.

“Are you really going to break up?”

“If the Master wants it, of course we should. There must be something wrong with her.”

At Lee Won-joong's confident words, Kang Ha-jin was really surprised inside.

Maybe others have the same reaction? Somehow I was really curious.

"It's important to break up with that girl, but she asked me to meet her today because I have a present for her."

"Yes? Master is giving a present to someone like me?”

Ha-jin Kang took out the bracelet she prepared quickly.

“This is it.”

Won-joong Lee received the bracelet as if it would break if touched too hard.

“Let’s see the tea.”

“Go, go, thank you!”

Wonjoong Lee shouted that and put on the bracelet.

For a moment, he felt his head clear.

"uh?"

"How is it? Has your head cleared up a bit?”

"Yes! I am so amazed!”

Hajin Kang explained with a careful expression.

“It is a bracelet that builds up a mental barrier. It blocks mental skills. But don't be vigilant when you're wearing it. Rather, we need to be more vigilant from now on.”

“He said, I’ll keep that in mind!”

After that, Kang Ha-jin explained to Lee Won-jung what is going on in Guardians in detail.

Wonjoong Lee was very surprised to hear the explanation.

And my respect for Ha-jin Kang, who gave such a great item for himself, grew rapidly.

After hearing all the explanations, Won-joong Lee made a promise that he would be really alert and went home.

Kang Ha-jin felt a strange feeling as he saw Lee Won-joong's back outside.

For Lee Won-jung now, his feelings for strong Ha-jin were far superior to the fascination of a succubus.

This clearly needed to be checked.

Today, before going to sleep, a meeting with the Guardians Guild members was scheduled.

Of course, they were all men.

When the man is finished, then the woman will follow.

Apparently, men are more dangerous now, so they decided to give items to men first.

Each time he met the Guardians' guild members one by one, Ha-jin Kang knew that the mental barrier item he had prepared was only about insurance.

Without exception, if Ha-jin Kang wanted, she said that she would stop dating women.

Perhaps that kind of reaction came because it was a relationship based on fascination, not sincere relationship.

Anyway, one thing is certain.

The fact is that those who join the Guardian and have a proper relationship with Ha-jin Kang are significantly less likely to be charmed by a succubus.

“Thanks to you, I only worked hard on sorting manastones.”

It wasn't meaningless. He gave all guild members a mental barrier to prepare for unforeseen situations, and gave them to Yoo Dong-hoon by classifying them by attribute so he could use them when making equipment.

You can probably look forward to the performance of the equipment created by Guardians in the future.

Jennifer took a taxi and left Incheon International Airport.

The taxi driver was seduced by Jennifer's fascination and acted like her driver.

She seemed to be able to get rid of her liver and gallbladder if she wanted to.

Jennifer's expression was unusual.

‘I’m sure it will fail.’

It wasn't just a failure, it was a complete failure. Because none of them were successful.

So, I couldn't even try at all to work with Yoon Kyung-min.

Jennifer said that if she didn't see the situation with her own eyes with her own eyes, her personality wouldn't work out.

Due to the failure of the plan, his position within the Defenders was also shaken slightly.

Of course, as long as you have a spanner who is swaying you like crazy, there won't be any problems.

Soon a taxi arrived near the Guardians.

Jennifer got out of his taxi and then instructed the driver to go back to Incheon Airport.

He will probably come to his senses by the time he arrives at Incheon International Airport. And you'll be embarrassed 'Cause he's got no oil and his memories won't come.

Of course, Jennifer didn't know that.

Now her eyes are fixed on the Guardians' headquarters building.

She had to meet at least one guild member over there. That way she'll know why the plan is so messed up.

Just then, a sloppy-looking man came out of the Guardian. There was a strong magical scent from him.

"Huh? Are you a water spirit? Besides, it is quite powerful and has great potential. You can get a good person.”

Jennifer walked slowly and approached Lee Won-jung, the water spirit that came out of the Guardians headquarters.

"Good morning."

Jennifer approached Wonjoong Lee in Korean, very fluent in Korean, and greeted him.

Wonjoong Lee looked at Jennifer and widened his eyes.

I only saw his face once, but he couldn't take his eyes off him.

“Our wonderful Awoken, what is your name?”

“This is Lee, Lee, Lee Won-jung.”

“Well, what a lovely name. Do you have time for a cup of coffee? It would be really sad without it..."

When Jennifer made a face that looked like she was about to cry, Lee Won-jung responded quickly.

“Do, do, do! Of course it will. There is a good coffee shop over there, so follow me.”

Lee Won-joong went back to the Guardian's headquarters.

On the first floor of this building, there was a coffee shop directly operated by the Guardian.

Because it was coffee made using magical power, it was a popular place among the awakened.

Jennifer paused for a moment, but wanted to know what was going on, so she followed Lee Won-joong.

He sat down opposite each other with a cup of coffee in front of him.

Jennifer was very impressed with the taste and aroma of the coffee, which was better than expected. It was such a great coffee that it was not lacking at all compared to the coffee served at William's hotel.

As she looked at Lee Won-jung, she wrote it from the beginning of fascination.

She did, but there was no reaction.

Jennifer was perplexed. He himself is a succubus queen. The fascination of the succubus queen was different from the fascination of the succubus.

But it just doesn't work for Awakened Naburang. This was absurd.

But that was the reality.

And the moment he used the charm, Lee Won-joong's bracelet reacted and opened a mental barrier, and it was only natural for Lee Won-joong to notice it.

Lee Won-joong's expression changed.

“What are you doing now? surely······!"

Jennifer jumped from her seat with her eyes full of annoyance.

A cat made of water appeared in front of Wonjung Lee and created a huge wave.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

But Jennifer was no longer there.

She turned into thousands of bats the size of her claws and scattered all over her.

The little bat moved a little and then disappeared as a mist.

Lee Won-joong was really surprised to see that. But in today's world, anything like this could happen.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Even by herself, she handles a cat made of water. So it was not surprising that there were people who turned into bats.

After acknowledging the situation, I remembered what had just happened. Whatever it was, he had missed the one who was aiming for the Guardians now.

Wonjoong Lee stared at the spot where Jennifer had been sitting before with an angry expression.

And he slapped himself in the head and blamed himself.

“I promised myself to be careful with such a pretty girl, but what am I going to do if I get hurt so easily!”

Jennifer, who was watching the scene secretly from outside the guild headquarters, shook his head.

“Did you already make a plan in that short time? This is something that can never be overlooked.”

Her gaze was fixed on the bracelet on Lee Won-jung's wrist. When I was enchanted earlier, that bracelet certainly responded.

Jennifer stared at Lee Won-jung's bracelet for a while and then disappeared from the spot.

Ha-jin Kang and Kyung-min Yoon received Lee Won-joong's report and checked the CCTV footage.

“It’s Jennifer.”

Yoon Kyung-min said with a firm expression. Again, the Defenders have reached out to the dark side.

“I thought she was going to move in one way or another, but I never expected it to come in person.”

“Perhaps you wanted to make it clear in some way.”

Jennifer said she was uncertain because she really hated it.

“Anyway, I think you found out about the mind-barrier bracelet.”

“It would be.”

But even without that bracelet, you wouldn't know that the Guardians' guild members never fell for the succubus.

And that small difference may have important consequences later on.

“Anyway, seeing it come out like this, I think the Defenders have worn it out.”

“Soon, you too will start a global relief project. It seems that supporters have gathered quite a bit these days.”

“That part was a bit disappointing. I could have stolen a few more.”

Based on the information obtained in advance, Yoon Kyung-min worked on companies and organizations that the Defenders wanted to reach out to.

Either they dragged them towards the Guardians, or prevented them from holding the Defenders' hand.

“That is enough. We've got it, so it's probably not going to be easy to catch up with it."

The Guardians were still active all over the world.

In case of big issues, Hajin Kang directly moves, and the guardians have established a system that solves small issues on their own.

“Something might happen soon. So you must always be prepared.”

“If it’s a big deal… is it something like what happened in Paris?”

Hajin Kang shook his head.

“It’s a lot bigger than that.”

Yoon Kyung-min was very nervous and swallowed dry saliva.
