My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 75
Episode 75. Just a Little More
I stopped the car at the nearby park and handed the jewel box to Seong Yu-mi.
Seong Yu-mi, who sat down on the bare ground instead of using the bench, stared at the jewel box with serious eyes for a long time.
“What’s there?”
Seong Yu-mi was the person who had noticed that Choi Su-a was under a spell.
Her special eyes might be able to notice something.
I looked at Seong Yu-mi with expectant eyes, but.
“Nothing.”
Unfortunately, it seemed that wasn’t the case.
Seong Yu-mi, who had been staring without blinking for several minutes, squeezed her dry eyes shut and shook her head.
“This is just an ordinary jewel box. An ordinary jewel box with no magical treatment whatsoever.”
“…But why is it so hard?”
“I wonder.”
It’s hard even though no magical treatment has been applied to it.
In that case, there was only one possibility to consider.
“Maybe it’s made from magic ore that even I can’t see?”
Magic ore.
A special ore containing mana that comes from inside Gates.
If it’s hard enough to withstand Black Dragon’s fist, that’s the only possibility.
“Can’t we all try hitting it once?”
Im Seung-hun said, looking at us gathered closely around the jewel box.
“I know Black Dragon hyung is strong, but we should at least try, right?”
“…That makes sense?”
Physical impact might be useless, but who knows if it might be cut by a blade.
Im Seung-hun’s words were something that couldn’t be dismissed as having 0% possibility.
The problem was.
“Where are we going to hit this thing?”
There was no space where we could freely use skills.
If we were at the Association, we could have used skills freely in the training room, but currently we’re civilians.
What should we do?
Just as I was thinking that, Seong Yu-mi suddenly stood up and raised her phone.
“What are you doing?”
“Just a moment…”
Tap tap tap tap.
Seong Yu-mi, who had been moving her fingers busily, nodded once.
“Let’s go here.”
“Here?”
“A nearby Gate. It’s an A-rank Gate, so normally Black Dragon, who’s B-rank, wouldn’t be able to enter, but it’s fine since I’m here.”
I quietly turned my gaze at Seong Yu-mi’s words.
There were Jini sitting on a swing with sparkling eyes and Elpinire pushing her.
Seong Yu-mi, who quickly read my gaze, raised the corners of her mouth.
“Hey Black Dragon. Don’t underestimate an S-rank Hunter, okay? Power is surprisingly amazing.”
“That sounds like something a really bad person would say.”
Anyway, if she says it’s possible, then it doesn’t matter.
I got up from the bench and picked up the jewel box that had fallen on the ground.
“Let’s go.”
The sun was gradually setting.
I wanted to reach a conclusion before the sun went down at least.
* * *
“B-but Demon King-nim…”
“Huh? I’m an S-rank Hunter, you know? You don’t think I can’t protect these three people here, do you?”
“Ugh…”
I whispered to Jini while watching Seong Yu-mi playfully talking to the Association Hunters guarding the Gate entrance.
“Jini. That’s what power is.”
“Power…”
“Something very scary that lets you boss around your subordinates however you want.”
As I was teaching Jini about the ways of the world, Seong Yu-mi, who seemed to have finished talking, started walking back toward us.
“The talk is over. They said we can go in.”
“You’re quite skilled at this. Have you done it a few times?”
“Ugh. Do you think I would have done this? I know how to do it because I get reported so much.”
Seong Yu-mi growled, frowning as if she had a headache.
“I don’t know what kind of nerve those A-rank Hunter nobodies have to try taking civilians into Gates when they’re not even S-rank Hunters…”
“But you just did that yourself, so how do you feel?”
“Pretty disgusted and dirty. I feel sorry too.”
Seong Yu-mi clicked her tongue softly and looked at the Association Hunters who were gathered together chattering about something.
It might feel unreasonable, but it can’t be helped.
Seong Yu-mi’s case is special to begin with, but S-rank Hunters usually have reckless personalities.
The government doesn’t impose major restrictions on S-rank Hunters either.
Thanks to that, S-rank Hunters tend to live as if the world belongs to them.
Especially when it comes to Gate-related matters.
“And it’s not exactly illegal. S-rank Hunters can take lower-ranked Hunters to higher Gates under the reason of nurturing promising talent.”
“…What kind of law is that?”
“I don’t know either. It was in the International Hunter Law?”
Seong Yu-mi shrugged and pointed at the Gate with her finger.
“Let’s go in. We need to finish quickly and get back.”
I nodded and followed Seong Yu-mi into the Gate.
The scenery changed instantly.
Now standing in an empty wasteland, I looked around and muttered.
“There are places like this too.”
“Be careful of the ground. I heard monsters live underground here.”
Is there something beneath the seemingly flat ground?
I nodded and decided to get far away from the Gate first.
“This should be far enough, right?”
We had come so far that we couldn’t even see a trace of the Gate.
This should be fine.
I carefully placed the jewel box on the ground and stepped back, asking.
“Who wants to go first?”
“I’ll go first since I brought it up.”
Whoosh, whoosh.
Im Seung-hun walked forward swinging his arms and struck the jewel box with all his might.
Of course, the result was a failure as everyone had expected.
“Tsk.”
“I’ll try next.”
Shing.
Jeong Chan-woo drew his sword from his waist, closed his eyes, and steadied his breathing.
Once.
Twice.
Jeong Chan-woo, who had been steadying his breath, suddenly opened his eyes wide and brought down his sword.
“…It’s not working.”
Clang!
With a clear, crisp sound, Jeong Chan-woo’s sword was deflected.
He frowned at his tingling arm and looked down at the jewel box.
“Even with full power, it’s impossible.”
Despite not hitting directly, a long gash remained on the ground.
Yet the jewel box didn’t have even the slightest scratch.
“Is it my turn now?”
While the two had been striking the jewel box, Seong Yu-mi, who had been preparing behind them, walked forward with sparkling eyes.
She looked back and forth at everyone, including me, Jini, and Elpinire, and said:
“Everyone, get away from me. As far as possible.”
She closed her eyes as if she wouldn’t do anything unless they moved away.
Nodding, I moved as far away as possible with Jini and Elpinire.
“Whew.”
Sensing that everyone had moved away, Seong Yu-mi finally opened her eyes and looked down at the jewel box.
“So this thing remained intact even when Black Dragon struck it.”
Tap-
Seong Yu-mi’s finger flicked lightly.
The mana in the air began to surge instantly.
Everything around rippled.
Violently fluctuating.
A storm of mana.
Having gathered all the mana in the area with just a light gesture, Seong Yu-mi exhaled thinly.
“It’s been a while since I used this, so it feels unfamiliar.”
Swoosh.
Seong Yu-mi’s hand rose toward the sky.
At that moment, the raging storm of mana instantly dispersed.
[Ultimate]
Rumble.
The clouds split in half.
A tremendous roar that tore through the wind struck my ears.
Tilting my head back, I looked up at the sky with my jaw dropping.
[Aerial Smash]
I can’t see it.
Clearly invisible to the naked eye.
Yet something massive like a meteorite is up there.
“My skills are all wide-range, so I can’t use them often.”
It’s coming.
The invisible meteorite is crashing down.
Preparing for the impending impact, I threw Jini and Elpinire behind me and clenched my fist.
“Inhale-.”
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble-!
A roar loud enough to burst eardrums rushes forth.
Tremendous pressure strikes my body.
Thanks to swinging my fist at the right moment, I barely managed to endure it and looked ahead while breathing heavily.
There stood a perfectly fine Seong Yu-mi, stroking her chin and muttering:
“As expected.”
The ground was devastated as if a meteorite had fallen.
Walking across it step by step, I looked ahead of Seong Yu-mi.
There, the jewel box without even a scratch was still greeting us.
“What the hell is this thing made of? How is it so hard?”
Seriously.
It’s truly amazing.
I really didn’t expect it to withstand an attack that could devastate an entire area like this.
“Oh my. Black Dragon, are you going to try once more?”
“Yes.”
Since everyone tried once, I want to attempt it one more time too.
Back then, given the situation, there might be something I didn’t properly check.
Clenching my fist with ‘Black Dragon’ activated, I exhaled calmly.
[Thousand Transformations – Dragon Scale]
Thud.
As the mist of the Underworld flowed out, the mana in the area instantly settled.
Feeling suffocated just by being close, Seong Yu-mi reflexively stepped backward.
“…Haha. This is ridiculous.”
When did he become this strong while I wasn’t looking?
The power contained in that ominous fist held similar or even greater force than the magic she had just used.
Someone who was weaker than her until recently had become incomparably stronger in just a few days.
Though she couldn’t understand it at all, Seong Yu-mi decided to just give up trying to understand.
From the beginning, the fact that he, a mutation-type, possessed summons like Jini and Elpinire was beyond comprehension, wasn’t it?
Therefore, she quietly closed her mouth and decided to watch the Black Dragon before her eyes.
‘…I can do it.’
Actually, the reason I tried once more wasn’t for any other reason.
This jewel box is some kind of mineral, whatever it is.
No matter how hard it is, there must be a limit to the impact it can withstand.
‘If once doesn’t work, twice. If that doesn’t work either, I’ll strike it three times.’
Even if I don’t notice something, if I keep going to the end, I’ll win completely.
Gritting my teeth, I struck down the jewel box with all my might.
“Kyaah!?”
The ground shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.
The ground surface emitting a roar that shouldn’t be made.
An impact so severe that even S-rank Hunter Seong Yu-mi lost her balance and swayed struck the ground.
In the midst of that, I was:
“…Got it.”
Smiling and muttering.
Seong Yu-mi, who regained her balance using magic, looked at me smiling with wide eyes.
“Did you succeed, Black Dragon!?”
“No. I didn’t succeed.”
“…Then why are you smiling?”
“Because I think I know how to open this.”
Answering Seong Yu-mi like that, I touched the side of the jewel box with my hand.
The smooth side of the jewel box without any scratches.
But I saw it with my own two eyes just now.
The fact that the moment I struck with my fist, cracks appeared momentarily on the side.
‘Who would have thought there’d be a mineral that repairs itself.’
This jewel box wasn’t just insanely hard.
In addition to being insanely hard, even when cracked, it could restore itself back to normal on its own.
That’s why it withstood both Seong Yu-mi’s attack and my attack.
“Really!? What’s the method?”
“Just a little more. If I become just a little stronger.”
Just a little more.
If the power contained in my fist becomes stronger, the jewel box won’t be able to repair itself and will shatter completely.
“That’s easier said than done…”
At Seong Yu-mi’s quiet muttering, I clenched my fist tightly.
Right.
I know that saying “just get a little stronger” isn’t easy for ordinary people.
But I know of one place where I can unconditionally become stronger the moment I enter.
“It won’t matter if I’m away for about two weeks, right?”
“I don’t think it will…”
Seong Yu-mi, who had trailed off, asked me.
“Are you confident that you’ll be able to break this when you come back after being away?”
“Yes.”
I answered Seong Yu-mi without a moment’s hesitation.
Seong Yu-mi looked straight into my eyes, chuckled, and picked up the Jewel Box.
“Then I’ll keep this until you return. If you want to open it, you know what to do, right?”
“Of course.”
“Then shall we go back to Jang-won-dong? I’m tired.”
Seong Yu-mi walks ahead with light steps.
Watching her back, I turned my gaze to the system window that appeared beside me as if it had been waiting.
[Tower of the Wilderness]
[You can enter the Tower of the Wilderness, permitted only to you who have been recognized by the Tower of Illusion.]
[Time remaining until Tower of the Wilderness opens: 0 hours]
[The Tower of the Wilderness opens as of this moment.]
A space where I can unconditionally become stronger.
A place that will instantly raise my synchronization rate that’s stuck at 5%.
That can only be a ‘Tower’, right?
After lightly waving my hand to dismiss the system, I walked toward Jini and Elpinire who were waiting for me, unlike the others who had gone ahead.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
In many ways.
