Episode 97

“Wh-what is that?”

“Equipment?”

“Swords?”

“Armor?”

“Some of them just look like metal plates?”

Living Parts filling the sky.

Their types were diverse.

Just as people said, there were swords, spears, shields, and some that looked like wide iron plates.

While everyone was looking up at the sky, someone shouted with a booming voice from the ground.

“2nd Platoon, full charge!!”

The man who shouted the charge.

A man with a massive build.

None other than Oh Taek-su, the first person to pass the Tamer 1st exam.

It was right after his shout.

Following Oh Taek-su’s command, countless Living Parts decorating the sky simultaneously rushed toward the Ogre.

The Ogre appeared to be 3 to 4 meters tall.

Its build was so massive it looked like several bodybuilders combined.

However, such things were useless before the overwhelming army of equipment.

As soon as the Ogre forcefully tore off one part, other Living Parts flew over and clung to the Ogre’s body.

It stung.

Whether they were spears, swords, or spiked plates, surprisingly they didn’t hurt much when they attached to the body.

Just as the Ogre was about to scoff at the minor pain.

[ Paralysis effect activated. ]

[ Poison effect activated. ]

[ Burn effect activated. ]

[ Frostbite effect activated. ]

[ Defense reduction effect activated. ]

[ Strength stat reduction effect activated. ]

[ Movement speed reduction effect activated. ]

…

Countless system notifications appeared.

These effects occurred exactly 2 seconds after the parts attached.

As the effects activated, the Ogre instantly lost strength like a withering plant and staggered.

“Graaaah…!”

Thud!

Finally, the Ogre collapsed, unable to withstand the pile of debuffs.

As soon as it fell, Oh Taek-su stepped forward and reached out his hand toward it.

[ Taming is activated. ]

Energy extended.

Then Oh Taek-su’s and the Ogre’s energies seemed to resonate with each other.

[ Taming Swamp Ogre. ]

[ Taming successful. ]

He tamed the Ogre very easily.

Oh Taek-su immediately used a recovery skill to heal the Ogre.

Though not completely recovered, the Ogre recovered enough to move and immediately stood up.

Then it walked over to Oh Taek-su with heavy steps and stood in formation majestically.

“Wow.”

“Whoa….”

“What was that just now?”

“Wh-what did I just see?”

“My goodness….”

Exclamations poured out.

Despite seeing it with their own eyes, everyone seemed unable to understand what had happened.

The real-time chat was the same.

– ??????

– What was that??

– What just happened???

– It flew over and attached then suddenly went bam bam bam then collapsed and now it’s standing up and…

– Is this a movie?

– Wow so fucking cool lol it’s like Iron Man itself lolol

– Gear swordsmanship?

– Isn’t that telekinesis? Mages have telekinesis skills.

– Idiots, that’s the thing. House Party Protocol lololol

– Paragon finally created a new weapon

– Shouldn’t we buy defense stocks?

– Wow! I can hear the sound of national prestige rising from here!

– Bartender! Bring me a shot!

That’s when it happened.

Thud thud thud-

Heavy footstep sounds.

People’s gazes gathered once again.

And there they could see numerous people all in the same uniform walking like models.

None other than the Paragon 2nd Platoon members.

More precisely, they were the 101 Paragon Tamers who had been training endlessly for the past few weeks.

Having walked out stylishly, they spread out widely behind Oh Taek-su and stood in formation.

Oh Taek-su shouted.

“Unit, attention!”

Snap!

“At ease!”

Snap!

The composition of the Tamers was diverse.

Men and women.

Young and old people.

Literally people of all ages and genders.

However, they exuded a solid presence like well-trained soldiers, and with their cool uniforms and dignified appearance, their majesty was incredibly intimidating.

Around that time, people also began to recognize that they were Tamers.

“Huh?”

“Wait a minute.”

“Those people, don’t tell me….”

“Aren’t they the Tamers that Paragon recruited last time?”

“Oh, they really are?”

“Then all those things flying around in the sky were summoned creatures?”

“Wow, that’s right. They tamed the Ogre earlier too.”

“Holy shit, amazing.”

“Camera! Camera, quickly film those guys!”

Thanks to reports from people who began recognizing them, the reporters’ interest began to surge intensely.

Thanks to this, the chat also instantly heated up.

– Fucking crazy, Tamers?

– Shit, all of that was Tamers just now?

– Wow, this is fucking insane

– Hahahaha this is seriously amazing

– Wait, that shitty weakling became this badass?

– What the hell did they do?

– Wow, this is why everyone talks about big corporations…

Everyone was beyond shocked.

“Hey, over there!”

“The sky!”

“Huh? The sky?”

Someone pointed to the sky.

Another Living Part?

Just as they were thinking that, people were shocked once again.

And for good reason – there was a person floating in the sky.

It wasn’t just any person.

It was Choi Hyun.

“Choi Hyun?!”

“Hunter Choi?”

“What? How is he flying?”

“What is he riding?”

“A disc? What is that thing?”

“Is that a new vehicle Paragon made?!”

It was exactly as they said.

Choi Hyun flying in the sky was standing on something.

It wasn’t a new vehicle.

What he was standing on was a Living Part.

Choi Hyun slowly descended like a villain from a superhero movie and landed.

As Choi Hyun stepped down from the Living Part in front of Oh Taek-su, reporters swarmed him.

“Hunter Choi Hyun! What is all this about?”

“Is this all some kind of performance?”

“Are these people really Tamers?!”

“How did you do this with the Tamers?”

Questions poured out.

Choi Hyun began to answer calmly.

“Hello, I’m Choi Hyun, President of Paragon. As you’ve all seen, these people are the Tamers that Paragon recently hired en masse.”

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Camera flashes exploded.

The explanation continued.

Starting with the identity of the summoned creatures they were using, he explained how they had pondered ways to utilize Tamers effectively, decided to actively use Living Eyes, and to maximize their effectiveness, Daesan had specially developed new Tamer-exclusive equipment called Living Parts.

“As I’ve always said, I want to end the Great Cataclysm era. But I don’t want to stain the process toward that goal with blood. Of course, it would be nonsense to say we’ll fight without spilling a single drop of blood, but I wanted to minimize human casualties as much as possible. The Tamer class, Living Eyes, and Living Parts are the result of that thinking.”

The calm explanations continued.

And.

– Wow shit…

– This is insane

– I just got goosebumps all over my body ㄷㄷ

– How does he manage to surprise people every time he brings something new?

– Even his beliefs are fucking cool

– Shouldn’t Choi Hyun be president at this point?

– Not just president, but world president level, right?

– Choi Hyun for Congress!

– No, for the US Congress!

– Shit, this is really amazing.

Praise-filled chat messages flooded in.

But surprisingly, there were also worried messages.

– But if he shows everything like this, won’t other countries copy it?

– It would be hard to patent something like this…

– I’m worried.

But as soon as such concerns appeared.

“I want to say this to everyone watching the broadcast. As I’ve stated repeatedly, I want to end the Great Cataclysm era and achieve peace for humanity. So to all Tamer Players and officials around the world, if you can do it, definitely tame Living Eyes. Train Living Eyes to conquer Areas as safely as possible. And if you need Living Parts, please contact us. We’re willing to cooperate on Living Parts technology exchange as much as needed.”

Choi Hyun cleanly declared that anyone was welcome to copy them.

– Wow crazy

– Look at his character

– Look at his boldness

– He’s giving this away for free?

– Choi Hyun is a god, Choi Hyun is a god, Choi Hyun is a god, Choi Hyun is a god, Choi Hyun is a god, Choi Hyun is a god, Choi Hyun is a god, Choi Hyun is a god…

– Mom! I want to become Choi Hyun when I grow up! Mom! I want to become Choi Hyun when I grow up! Mom! I want to become Choi Hyun when I grow up! Mom! I want to become Choi Hyun when I grow up! Mom! I want to become Choi Hyun when I grow up! Mom! I want to become Choi Hyun when I grow up…

People’s passionate enthusiasm.

Good.

Now he had shown everything that needed to be shown immediately.

This was Part 1 of what Choi Hyun had planned.

Now it was time to show Part 2.

Part 2 naturally started with the complete unmanned conquest of the Dark Swamp Dungeon.

Choi Hyun looked at the camera and said.

“Now we’ll show you in real time the process of conquering a dungeon without a single person entering it. Taek-su?”

“Alright, everyone let’s begin! Everyone to your positions!”

“To positions!”

Starting with Oh Taek-su’s command, the Tamers spread out widely.

Then they summoned the monsters they had brought and began advancing with the newly tamed Ogre leading the charge alongside the Living Eyes.

Summoned creatures rushing into the dungeon.

There were no humans among them.

And after a while.

Crash!

The sound of something breaking.

At the same time, the blue effect indicating the Dungeon Core’s presence disappeared.

“Hey!”

“Look, the blue effect disappeared!”

“They already conquered the dungeon?!”

“What are you doing! Film it!”

Cameras were thrust forward again.

People went wild with excitement.

Chat messages poured in.

And.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Ground tremors coming from deep within that dungeon.

Soon, something began pouring out of the dungeon.

What poured out of the dungeon.

None other than the massive Ogres that had filled the dungeon.
