‘It isn’t a boss monster?’
This single attack allowed Hyeonu to realize that the giant wasn’t as strong as he thought it was . A boss monster’s attack power would’ve smashed his pure energy, rather than deflect it .
‘I was scared for no reason . ’
Hyeonu felt pathetic for even having done a simulation in advance . His heart was filled with anger toward the giant .
‘I’ll finish it at once . ’
He used the giant skill he didn’t need to use .
[Giant’s Power has been used . ]
[Your strength stat has increased . ]
Hyeonu’s strength rose to over 1,000 in an instant . This led to Hyeonu’s damage increasing as well . As Hyeonu was preparing for the attack, Tang-E’s skills struck the giant . Lightning fell from the sky while an ice spear and fireball hit the giant from all sides .
“Kuaaaak!” The giant screamed in pain . It was lightning with a B+ proficiency and 1,800 magic power . There was also the C+ ranked Fire and Ice . They showed a different power from the past, and it wasn’t just an increase in power .
[The ancient giant has been inflicted with the ‘electric shock’ abnormal state . ]
[The ancient giant has been afflicted with the ‘frozen’ abnormal state . ]
[The ancient giant has been afflicted with the ‘burned’ abnormal state . ]
There was also a high probability of causing abnormal conditions . The giant slowed down and stopped moving for a short time . It was impossible for Hyeonu to miss such a great opportunity . Hyeonu gathered as much magic power as possible and inserted it into Dark Star . Then he swung it at the giant, striking it with dozens of strong winds made of pure energy .
It was Mysterious Sky Range . Dozens of black blades shredded the giant’s body, and blood burst out from it like a fountain . The giant’s body collapsed helplessly .
[The ancient giant has been killed . ]
[Experience has been acquired . ]
Once again, the difference between a boss monster and a normal monster was great . Normal monsters couldn’t handle Hyeonu’s damage after it was enhanced by various buffs . Just then, Tang-E’s voice rang out from behind Hyeonu in an urgent tone, “Master dude!!”
“Eh?” Hyeonu naturally turned his head at Tang-E’s cry . Hyeonu’s gaze shifted toward Tang-E who was gathering an enormous amount of magic power . It was similar to Tang-E’s first awakening . The only difference was that the current amount of magic power was superior .

[The second awakening has begun . ]
Seeing this, Hyeonu murmured in a small voice, “It is real . The second awakening . ”
In fact, Hyeonu hadn’t believed Tang-E’s words . Tang-E had said the same thing over and over again, so Hyeonu thought it was the same this time .
‘I feel sorry toward Tang-E . . . Honestly, I wish he will gain more buff skills . ’
Bear’s Momentum and Forest’s Blessing were quite good . However, a person’s greed was endless . Hyeonu would rather Tang-E play the role of an all-rounder as opposed to a damage dealer . In other words, he wanted Tang-E to maintain the role of six players . Of course, the foundation was based on buffs .
‘I don’t want a lot . Just have one buff related to agility . ’
Two skills were gained from the first awakening . That meant Tang-E would get at least two skills after the second awakening . Hyeonu hoped that a buff skill would be one of them . As Hyeonu prayed, Tang-E started to absorb the dense magic power around him .
Five minutes passed . The power being absorbed by Tang-E was noticeably reduced . Simultaneously, a message appeared in front of Hyeonu to indicate that Tang-E’s awakening had ended .
[Stats have risen due to the second awakening . ]
[The second awakening has created skills . ]

[The agility stat has increased by 576 points . ]
[The physique stat has increased by 704 points . ]

“Haah…!” An exclamation flowed out from Hyeonu’s mouth . Only two skills had been created . However, the insane rise in stats and the quality of the skills allowed Hyeonu to overlook that . Although Burning Magic Power consumed additional magic power, it boosted the damage of Tang-E’s attacks .
‘Breath of the Wind . ’
For Hyeonu, this was the real skill . This alone rewarded the hard work he and Tang-E put in to reach the second awakening . The buff skill increased Hyeonu’s agility and movement speed . Why did Hyeonu want this agility-related buff? It was due to the armor that Hyeonu was wearing . Hyeonu’s current Wind Gorge set was level 200, but it was a bit lower than Hyeonu’s level .
He hadn’t changed it due to the Blink skill, but the stats increase was fairly low compared to the set items worn by other rankers . Furthermore, the wind attribute was useless due to the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art . Thus, he had to find a way to move fast enough to replace Blink, and he thought an agility buff would be the solution for that . As agility increased, his movement speed would naturally increase as well .
“Good, good,” Hyeonu said in a satisfied manner and couldn’t help nodding . Then someone pulled at his pants .
Hyeonu’s gaze naturally went down . “What is it?”
It was Tang-E . After the awakening, Tang-E boasted entirely golden fur . The blue fur of his tail and the red fur on his face had disappeared .
“It’s strange, strange . What should I do?” Tang-E was fidgety as he pulled at Hyeonu’s leg . Tang-E’s current strength stat was quite high . His high stats meant that Hyeonu shook helplessly like a reed swaying in the wind .
“Why? What’s the problem? What’s wrong?”
In the end, Hyeonu couldn’t stand it and lifted Tang-E . Tang-E looked up at Hyeonu with a crying face .
“Look at this . . . My feet . . . ” Tang-E said with a serious expression .
Then once he saw Tang-E’s paws, Hyeonu barely suppressed his laughter .
“The soles of my feet are red while my paws are blue . What should I do . . . Master . . . ” Tang-E didn’t use the title of ‘Master dude . ’
Hyeonu eventually burst out laughing, “Kuhaha!”
Holding Tang-E in his arms, Hyeonu continued to laugh .
‘So cute . Making such a serious look just because of this . ’
Tang-E tapped Hyeonu’s chest, but he ignored it .
“Should I make you some gloves? It’s cute . Just leave it alone . Nobody will say anything . ”
Hyeonu put Tang-E down and stroked his head .
‘This cute bear . . . ’

At Hyeonu’s words, Tang-E smiled brightly and stared at Hyeonu with huge eyes .
“Really? Master dude?”
“Yes . You’ve always been cute, Tang-E . ”
“Cough . . . I’m cute,” Tang-E coughed, and his shoulders broadened . Hyeonu’s praise gave him a huge boost .
Hyeonu smiled at Tang-E and opened Tang-E’s status window .
‘Tang-E’s status window . ’

‘I have to treat him well . ’
This was what Hyeonu thought when he saw Tang-E’s status window . Tang-E had brilliant stats and skills . Yet, this wasn’t even Tang-E’s best condition .
‘There are still two essences . ’
Tang-E still had two essences left from the pet competition .
‘If he’s lucky, he’ll get two skills . ’
No, it was good enough just for his stats to rise . Based on Tang-E’s skills, it was enough to increase the stats .
‘All that is left is hunting . ’
Hyeonu noticed that it was easier to clear this dungeon .
“CEO Moon, hasn’t it been a while?”
“Thank you . I was wondering why you called me…?”
Park Jeonghyun smiled like he didn’t care about Moon Doyeong’s words . “If it is due to the last thing you talked to me about, you can stop . ”
“What do you mean?” Moon Doyeong cocked his head at Park Jeonghyun’s words .
“I’ve prepared a gift . ”
“A gift? Thank you, Inspector Park, for the gift . . . ”
“Ilsung will lose Big Stars this time . Well, this isn’t something I did myself, but it is correct to say I don’t want to look behind me anymore . . . ”
In the past, the two companies that tried to acquire Big Stars were Ilsung Capital and Moon Doyeong’s Moon Capital . Due to Ilsung’s quick lobbying, Moon Doyeong had stepped down from the acquisition .
“Why are you telling me this?” Moon Doyeong asked .
Park Jeonghyun smiled . “For your help . I’m asking you to help me bring down Ilsung . ”
Moon Doyeong wasn’t a fool, so he couldn’t be unaware of Park Jeonghyun’s intentions . Additionally, Moon Doyeong was a maniac about Arena, so he had a great deal of interest regarding this incident .
“Then I will hide the players from Ilsung . In the meantime, Inspector Park should take care of the other things . After the management is handed over to the association, Big Stars will be given to me . . . ”
“Of course . Who will be in charge of Big Stars if not you?” Park Jeonghyun smiled and picked up a bottle of wine to pour a drink for Moon Doyeong .
“I will trust you this time . ”
“From this side, there is Han Jaeyeol, Kim Jinhwan . . . 10 people in total? Where’s the rest? Did they decide to go separately?”
Moon Doyeong ordered people to find the professional gamers of Big Stars one step ahead of Yoon Hyeongu . Then he brought the players to his office .
“Who are you?” Kim Jinhwan wasn’t in a good mood because he had been forced to come here . He looked at Moon Doyeong with vigilant eyes .
“I will soon be your boss,” Moon Doyeong said .
Kim Jinhwan and the players exchanged looks . They guessed what was going on .
“Isn’t Big Stars ruined? How did you become the boss?” Han Jaeyeol questioned .
Moon Doyeong answered straight away, “It won’t be ruined . It will be investigated . This is how it is . Additionally, you’re not quitting . Once I’m the boss, I will test you properly and reselect people . I will throw away the garbage, taking only the real players to prepare for the next league . Call the other kids as well . Tell them to come here . They will be hurt if they’re caught by the team’s side . ”
While speaking, he made eye contact with each player in turn .
“What do you want to eat? Chicken? Pizza?” Moon Doyeong asked as he waved a coupon book .
“Chicken!” All the players picked the same thing .
