Episode 188 Limit Breaker (1)
[Pet Information]
Name: Fafnir II
Age: 0
Grade: D
[Skill]
Passive: Fafnir’s Blessing (S+)
Active: Dragon Breath (D)
Current growth rate – 31%
*100 If the percentage is exceeded, the rating increases by one level.
After confirming the simple information, Jaehyun opened the detailed skill window.
[Passive Skill]
Name: Fafnir’s Blessing
Rating: S+
Fafnir’s Blessing.
When a summoner and a dragon are on the same field, increases summoner’s ATK and MAG by 50%.
Jaehyun’s eyes widened as he read the explanation.
Somehow, when he summoned Poppy, his body seemed lighter, so it seemed that his physical abilities had improved thanks to Poppy’s passive skill.
“What kind of nonsense... well, thank you for me.”
Jaehyun raised the corners of his mouth and put on a satisfied expression.
A whopping 50% of attack power and magic power. Even though it was a dragon pet, I hadn’t expected this level of effect.
Jaehyun opened the window to check the remaining attack skills.
[Active Skill]
Name: Dragon Breath
Rating: D
A skill that attacks the enemy by exhaling the breath of the dragon.
This skill is upgraded whenever the dragon’s rank rises.
This, too, was a satisfactory skill.
The grade is still only D, but it’s a growth skill.
Even Jaehyun has hardly found anything like this.
Except for Seo Eana’s Alfheim’s sword, there were few people around who had growth skills.
“good. If it grows well like this, it will be quite helpful.”
Gyareung.
After killing all the enemies, Poppy approached and rubbed his face against Jaehyun’s knee.
Perhaps thanks to the calibration of the system, the guy followed Jaehyun very well.
‘Of course, I feel like I follow Kim Yoo-jung more, but...’
Jae-hyun immediately shook his head and brushed off his thoughts.
No matter what, Poppy’s owner is herself.
There is no chance that Poppy will like Kim Yoo-jung more... shit.
while thinking silly thoughts. I could feel the ground shaking lightly.
It seemed that this simulated dungeon raid would end soon.
―The dungeon boss monster 《Orc King》 appears.
The end of the dungeon raid.
Jaehyun put Poppy down on the stone he was sitting on and stood up.
No matter how dragon it is, it is difficult for Papi, who is still in its infancy, to even hunt the boss.
My body was a bit stiff anyway, and now was the time to step forward.
“Because I need a record.”
Jaehyun muttered that and then activated the shape of the magic tool to create an intermediate dagger.
This is a mock dungeon.
Because there was no need to show too much power.
Jaehyun swung the dagger with the blue effect once and threw it at the guy’s forehead.
ping!
A dagger stuck in the center of the orc’s forehead with a noise like arrows flying.
Kuruk!
With the scream of the guy, the 3-meter-tall body begins to crumble.
Following.
thud!
A system message audible as the huge body lay on the floor.
―You have successfully defeated the boss monster.
―Transfers the user to the waiting room.
* * *
―The record is 22 minutes and 21 seconds.
―Milles Academy broke the record for the shortest time ever.
―Additional points are settled.
Returning to the waiting room and checking the rankings, Jaehyun’s eyes narrowed.
The ranking displayed after clearing the dungeon a while ago.
Because there was a strange corner here.
[Mock Dungeon Attack: Individual Ranking]
As she said at the beginning, there were signs of violent movement, the remains of collapsed buildings, and bloodstains near the site.
at that time. I got lucky as if I had suddenly remembered Kim Ji-yeon.
“The results of the request to the institute came out. The red liquid in the syringe. It was a new substance mixed with blood and other impurities.”
“......A new substance?”
“That’s right. It was a liquid that had never been studied before. Even......”
Kim Ji-yeon paused for a moment.
“The new substance contained strong magical powers.”
“......Is that true?”
Jaehyun looked shocked and tried to interpret her words.
How should I accept this?
Jaehyun put his hand on his forehead and thought.
‘Of course, blood plays a role in transporting the Awakener’s magic to all parts of the body. However, it cannot possess magic power by itself.
How the hell did this happen?’
The main organs of the body that produce and spread mana are the heart, brain, and dantian.
This means that blood can never become a container for mana.
Jaehyun couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
“We also didn’t know everything about this liquid. However, cadet Min Jae-hyun would know.
A polar religious group happening in this liquid and recent news. That Asatru might have something to do with it.”
“yes. I was guessing.”
Jaehyun nodded.
Asatru.
It was a group of Odin’s followers who had recently been infesting the whole country.
Jaehyun was convinced that this was related to the school disappearance case.
‘The thing that bothers me the most is the similarity of the incident scene.’
Jaehyun recalled the news he had seen recently.
What he paid attention to was:
[An injection needle containing a red liquid reminiscent of blood was abandoned at the scene of the incident.] [
They are said to be able to handle at least three to five times more magic than the grade they were judged in the past after losing their intelligence.]
From the outside The extreme religious incident that occurred and the current disappearance from the academy.
There were obvious similarities between the two.
Kim Ji-yeon was looking at Jae-hyun’s eyes.
“I don’t know exactly. Our academy and association are guessing that
this new substance is a kind of ‘Limit Breaker’ drug that dramatically increases the user’s magical power .”
‘It’s a limit breaker... I guessed it, but I never thought it would be mentioned directly from Chairman Kim Ji-yeon’s mouth.’
An ugly light stayed in Jaehyun’s eyes.
limit breaker.
This is an Awokener enhancement substance that has been studied several times in the past. A drug that forcibly enhances the user’s level when administered to make them stronger.
However, it was pointed out by many people as an unethical experiment method and was eventually discarded.
“sorry. Because our information is still lacking.......”
“No. it’s okay. Because it seems to have come out to some extent.”
At Jiyeon Kim’s words, Jaehyun raised an eyebrow as he said that.
She tilted her head, but Jaehyun didn’t say anything else.
‘I don’t know the details. But I know a bit about Limit Breakers.’
Reproduction is before regression. I had seen an article about those who secretly made this drug called Limit Breaker.
Maybe it was published in a big way on the social side.
‘It’s just the right time. If the drug called Limit Breaker is really related to this case, there is a high possibility that they did this.
It’s worth investigating.’
Jaehyun immediately came to a conclusion.
After looking around the few remaining incident scenes, he asked Jiyeon Kim for her understanding.
“I might have to take a break from the academy for a while. Would it be okay?”
“Is it for solving this case?”
“you’re right.”
“of course. Please contact us if you need any help.”
Jiyeon Kim had no choice but to say that.
After the outdoor camp, she had a hunch.
Reproduction is different from other radars. Stronger radars will certainly exist, but there is no radar that grows faster than that.
Not only that, he is moving with a clear goal.
Although I don’t know what that goal is...
‘If that’s the case, I might be able to solve this case.’
Jiyeon Kim sincerely thought so.
Now, no one in the country underestimates Jaehyun’s skills.
On the other hand, Jaehyun went to visit a person after breaking up with Kim Jiyeon.
“See you again?”
“Min Jae-hyun... I knew you would come.”
In front of him was Lim Seong-ho.
However, something was strange.
His purple-tinted body was so bizarre that it could not be called human.
Jaehyun was sure.
Im Seong-ho. That he became stronger by using ‘Limit Breaker’.
