Book 6: Chapter 95
Kim Hajun yawned and stretched out his arms. He didnt have a residence to stay in since he hadnt agreed to join the Extreme Heat Clan, but that didnt mean he had to sleep like a grunt. He had ordered the VIP room in the inn after a long day of drinking. People werent machines; celebrations were required. If he couldnt relax after accomplishing a major goal, eventually, hed make a mistake in the future due to his pent-up stress.
Kim Hajun kicked off his blanket and exhaled before sitting with his legs crossed atop the bed. He raised his arms up to chest level, keeping them apart by the distance of a basketball. His eyes narrowed, and flames blossomed into existence in the empty space between his arms. Like most skills, if he didnt use the Heart of Fire every day, he wouldnt improve and might even get worse at it. After half an hour of manipulating fire, Kim Hajun lowered his arms and climbed out of bed, letting the flames dissipate on their own as he headed towards the shower. He had paid for the VIP room, so hed definitely use everything offered to get the biggest bang out of his buck.
The shower wasnt just a shower. The water was actually diluted potion, and it was doing wonders for Kim Hajuns hangover. As the water flowed down his body, his mind raced as he planned out his day. The second floor was easy enough to pass. As someone who had already experienced the floor through his prophetic dream, he already knew what the perfect weapon was for him. Defeating the instructor in one-on-one combat was simply a formality. As for hidden pieces and opportunities, there werent many of those on the lower floors that were worth taking. Right?
Kim Hajun stared at the tiled ground as he recalled how many hidden pieces came out of the first floor, each one of them overpowered skills capable of carrying their users to the thirtieth floor at the very least. He didnt know about those despite his prophetic dream. Who knew how many other hidden pieces he had passed by? Then again, worrying about things that might not even exist was something he couldnt afford to spend energy on. He had to focus on the concrete and tangible gains he could make. The war between towers was still ongoing, and although itd be dangerous, if he could clear a few missions, the item he had planned on purchasing with geums to clear the twentieth floor could be obtained much earlier.
Kim Hajun raised his ant mandible and deflected the blow while retreating backwards. He grimaced as he steadied himself. Although he held the mandible at the perfect angle to deflect most of the chimeras strength, his hand was still throbbing in pain. The chimeras strength matched its size. If he continued to clash against it like this, itd only be a matter of time before he lost. Luckily, he had been a bum and freeloaded a skill from Vurs group on the first floor. Kim Hajun stowed his ant mandibles before concentrating on his right hand. A small flame appeared, and with some more of Kim Hajuns concentration, it elongated and grew into a sword.
I dont know why you want to kill me, Kim Hajun said as he raised his flaming weapon and pointed it at the chimera. But its not going to happen.
Flames again? the chimera asked, its three heads showing pained expressions. Cant you annoying pests be more original? It charged forward, stabbing and swinging its swords at Kim Hajun. Why is it always flames?
Kim Hajun swung his sword while retreating, parrying and deflecting the string of sword attacks coming at him. Unfortunately, the chimera didnt show any openings despite only frantically attacking; it was clearly experienced in combat.
Try blocking this, the chimera said. A shield appeared in the tentacle underneath its arm, and it swung towards Kim Hajun from the side in a wide arc. The well-dressed mans eyes widened, and he bent his torso backwards as if he were dodging bullets in a movie. The tentacle swept over his head, and Kim Hajun thrust upwards with his sword, cutting half the tentacle off. Black liquid spurted out of the tentacle and landed on Kim Hajuns face, causing a wave of dizziness to wash over him. Was the chimeras blood poisonous?
