Awakening After Divorce

Part 15 Convergence

“sorry. It was not intentional.”

[Tower of Indomitability] Choi Yoon-ha, the team leader of the 1st assistant team belonging to Samhyeon PMC, a team for the pre-exploration, bowed her head.

“It’s not just an apology. I understand the speciality of the tower, but it was a collision that could only be used in other towers. Do you know what I mean?”

Ji-hoo saw Lee Hee-yeon differently.

‘Choi Yun-ha’ is the assistant team leader of Samhyeon Group PMC. Even after introducing that her power level was 6 and that she was an A-class hunter, Lee Hee-yeon did not back down at all.

“Yes, I am aware. But we are outsiders. Don’t you know what happens if you don’t [stealth] and [vigilance]?”

It was the same with Choi Yun-ha.

He apologized and bowed his head, but he confronted him as if he would not allow it any further.

“I am not interested in what strategies you have been using in other towers. Your actions just now had to be clearly judged as [hostility].”

Lee Hee-yeon did not back down at all.

Her power level was 4, and she has [Super Sense]. She faintly sensed the [stealth] of something within 100m.

That means something with a minimum power level of 5 or higher. I don’t know if it’s a ‘person’ or a ‘predator’.

So I approached [Stealth].

Therefore, the other side was more stealthy and wary, and the two camps had to collide without having time to check each other.

A moment’s hesitation leads to death, and a moment’s inattention causes the neck to fall because it was a battle with a level 5 armed force.

There is no problem up to that point.

In normal towers, collisions like this are common.

Afterwards, they recognize that it is a ‘defense’ rather than an attack with ‘killing intent’ and confirm that there is no hostility between them. And sorting things out is the usual order.

“… … There was no hostility. I didn’t know it was an ajit. For a hideout left unattended in a place like this, it was absurdly stealthy, and the wave of magic was suspicious.”

Choi Yoon-ha looked at Ji-hoo, not Lee Hee-yeon.

with a curious look.

“There was no hostility? The Hunter who collided with me used a combo attack aiming for a vital spot. Did you witness it together?”

“Yes, that is why I apologize. It was my crew’s mistake and I am responsible for it.”

“… … under!”

After apologizing so much, there was nothing more to say. In fact, Lee Hee-yeon was very angry with herself.

‘Jihoo almost died.’

Although he wanted to, it was she who did not stop him. It should have dried more. Whatever he said, he should have refused.

she had forgotten The [Indomitable Tower] has been stable for a long time, so [Rules] can exist.

However, originally the [Tower] is the battlefield itself.

die and kill each other The [Tower] is where everyone is killed and silenced because of an artifact or a historic site.

What if she had no [super sense]?

What if it was a new level 5+ predator?

‘I’m dead, and Jihoo is also dead.’

What if the situation was a little late, or there was a Samhyeon logo, but it wasn’t Samhyeon? What if the ambush hunter had malicious intent?

But how do you calm down?

A dear friend almost died.

because of myself

Jihoo almost died.

Like my brother, I almost lost another precious person.

“It is our fault. The second floor of the tower, I never imagined that there would be a hideout in a jungle like this. but… … I still don’t know if he’s a normal person.”

Choi Yoon-ha looked at Ji-hoo. Those eyes showed curiosity and thirst, as if demanding an explanation.

She just recalled the situation.

‘Obviously, I pushed Kim Kook-hyun… … .’

she saw

Sending Kim Kook-hyun away with an unknown power.

And there was a smile on his face.

‘I didn’t see any kind of power in my eyes.’

Choi Yun-ha’s power level is 6.

He is so powerful that there are no opponents in this kind of tower, and he is a level of skill that can be called a semi-master level in one field.

That’s not all.

Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you can grasp everything. However, one of the additional options of her characteristic is [Seeing Eye].

Read and predict the flow of power.

Whether it’s magical powers, traits, or talents. If a force is at work, it must flow in her eyes.

But I didn’t see anything.

There are few cases like that. That the trait itself is a higher quality than hers. Or, it means that the power level is higher than hers.

“It is common people. Appraisers and producers.”

“… … okay.”

Besides, this hideout. Incredibly high magic power density. At the same time, it is stable and stealthy. Like a hidden dungeon.

Choi Yun-ha thought that there might be unknown dangers here and tried to prepare, and it was a collision that occurred.

By the way, this is also the work of that man.

‘If you made a place like this, a high-level creator is right… … .’

Choi Yoon-ha couldn’t shake his suspicions.

That confident and fearless face. Even when Kim Gook-hyun rushed at me earlier, I didn’t blink an eye.

It was an opportunity that only the strong could afford.

‘… … You did well to be careful.’

It was Choi Yun-ha’s absurd misunderstanding, but no one knew about it.

‘Ugh, both of them are no joke.’

Jihoo stood awkwardly.

Listening to the two of them, it is only natural for them to be wary of each other and clash in the tower.

bloody, bloody

‘If it’s like that, I’ll just skip it.’

Jihoo scratched his head.

There is no time to worry about these trivial conflicts right now. You need to check the system windows that have popped up on one side.

Jihoo, who wanted to get out of this situation, said while pulling Heeyeon’s arm.

“let’s go.”

“you-“

“I am fine. Thank you for your concern, but the current situation is a mutual mistake. yes? Both you and the other side.”

It’s true that he broke the rules.

However, Lee Hee-yeon is also overly sensitive.

“You almost died.”

“I’m okay.”

Jihoo wasn’t just talking.

just felt it

[time for setting].

Although it was said to be one second, it was more than 10 seconds long in his thoughts, which flowed slowly as if the world had stopped.

Ji-hoo realized at that moment.

When an enemy is wearing an artifact lower than his viewing level, unless he runs out of SP… … .

‘Looks like there are a lot of conditions.’

anyway.

If only a few conditions were met, he was confident that he would not lose to any hunter. It will be difficult to subdue, but escape is possible.

certainly.

[Time for setting] gave wings to [setting intervention]. The more frightening fact is that the cooldown of [Time for Setting] can also be modified with [Setting Intervention].

“Let’s go back at once.”

“… … .”

she kept her mouth shut.

Then he turned his gaze and said to Choi Yun-ha.

“I apologized and no one was hurt, so I will move on, but next time something like this happens, I won’t just move on.”

Those words were the trigger.

Choi Yoon-ha looked at Lee Hee-yeon in silence, but the man standing next to him was furious. He was the owner of the large sword that he had mixed with Lee Hee-yeon earlier.

“Damn it, where is the B-class hunter-”

“Park Sang-cheol. Stay still.”

“No, but what did the team leader do so wrong? It’s natural in the tower, so what if I don’t get over it!”

“hey! Sangcheol Park!”

“… … yes.”

“Do you want to die?”

“sorry.”

The owner of the greatsword, Park Sang-cheol, seemed to be unable to obey the order, and walked away without answering, frowning heavily.

“I apologize once again.”

“… … All right.”

Lee Hee-yeon apologized and turned around.

“let’s go.”

“okay.”

She walked first, and Jihoo followed. Meanwhile, Ji-hoo glanced behind her, but the woman Choi Yoon-ha organized the surroundings casually.

‘He’s a great person.’

I was honestly surprised.

Lee Hee-yeon has a lower Hunter rating than her, and a lower power level. It’s not about social status or age.

But I apologize to the end.

It’s never easy. Especially in a place called the Tower, where power is much closer than law.

Well, as long as you belong to Samhyeon, you should know what kind of responsibility will come if you make a mistake here. After all, they were also employees.

* * *

“hey.”

“… … .”

“More than me, are you okay?”

“huh.”

“Are you upset?”

“no.”

“Ah, are you upset?”

“Because it is not!”

“Oh, are you just yelling at me?”

She looked at Ji-hoo and opened her mouth.

“Let’s go out today.”

“no!”

“I can’t this is how you die Top said that this happens frequently. I was mistaken. I shouldn’t have brought you to a place like this.”

Jihoo decided to leave her like that for a while.

It’s useless to talk about it when you’re hurt right now. After calming down a bit, you can convince him. And I had the confidence to convince him.

‘Let’s see this first.’

The important thing now was the system phrases I hadn’t seen before.

– [Time for setting (Lv. 01)] was used perfectly.

– I intervened in the setting of [another user’s artifact].

There is also a reward for doing something for the first time.

There were also five achievements, so I was able to get 300 SP.

– The proficiency of [Setting Intervention] is greatly increased.

– The level of [Setting Intervention (Lv. 02)] has risen.

– It has become [Set Intervention (Lv. 03)].

The most important thing was this.

Raising the level of setting intervention.

That didn’t change anything about setting interventions too much. The SP required for setting intervention has been slightly reduced.

And this is what happened.

– [Special ability] is unlocked.

– Acquired [Fusion (Lv. 01)].

What is this?

『Fusion (Lv. 01)』

: Combine different settings into one.

A very simple explanation.

I tried this and that.

– [Talent] cannot be [Fusion] at the current level.

– [Artifact] itself cannot be [Fused] at the current level.

It couldn’t be either.

It seems to be possible if you level up a lot.

But I just wanted to see the possibilities.

‘This will work.’

Jihoo pulled out a compound crossbow. There are some good options to experiment with.

* [Save Lesser Vault]

* [Lesser Volt Release]

* [Low Reload Acceleration]

* [Lesser Durability Enhancement]

Bolt storage, ejection, reload acceleration.

What if you put these three together?

“fusion.”

– A total of 150 SP is consumed.

– Do you want to save?

At the same time as the question, expected options came to mind.

[Low-mid automatic reloading]

: release from the storage of the bolt. It is a loading option that combines automatic demonstration loading into one mechanism.

this is it!

I wanted to scream, but I held back because of Lee Hee-yeon. You shouldn’t touch her when she’s calming down.

“save.”

This is the loading method I thought of when I first remodeled this crossbow. However, the required SP reached 1,000, so it was divided into three types.

This is because each of them was 100.

“… … I’m crazy.”

More than expected.

Now, two magic circuits were engraved on the crossbow. The convergence of the three options is not just about merging into one.

once the grade goes up.

[Lower] has become [Lower Intermediate]. It’s not just that the 3 features were included. Each performance has increased.

7 storage bolts, the time to loading is less than 1 second, and the order of loading the required bolts can be changed.

This is ridiculously good, but the jackpot is different.

‘A free space is created in the artifact.’

That means that in addition to the fused [Low-mid] option, there is a capacity to add 2 or 3 more options.

– In order to add [Fusion] to the settings with [Fusion] applied, the required SP increases to 300%.

It was a pity.

It would be too much of a scam to fuse the options added with the same SP one more time.

Does not matter.

You don’t have to add anything more. Just adding this weapon has the effect of raising two levels.

‘Let’s just add two options.’

There is something that fits perfectly.

[Auto Aim].

and [grant induction].

The magic circuit is magic, but the theory and principle are clear. Therefore, it is complex but clear, and if you penetrate the principle, you can design easily and efficiently.

That doesn’t mean it’s easy.

It’s difficult with Jihoo’s skills right now.

But he has a [setting intervention].
