Chapter 151: Five Mountains of Penances (1)
Yeon-woo thought he was seeing things .
There was no way Kahn was here . The guy who said would wait for the next time with Doyle .
He hadn’t even heard that a new tutorial had opened . So he thought it was just someone similar to him, but… . .
[Cain! Cain, right?]
The guy who was shouting his name happily was definitely Kahn .
[Hm? What’s this? It’s someone the youngest knew?]
[Hehehe . Then isn’t that good? We can use him more . ]
Other voices from those who had been watching the two chuckled .
He didn’t know what they were talking about, but it didn’t matter . Yeon-woo’s attention was focused on Kahn .
[You’re really Cain! Hey! How did you get here! Dang . What’s this . You look better now . ]
Kahn spun around Yeon-woo and burst out in laughter .
Yeon-woo slightly narrowed his eyes . Seeing his flippant attitude, it was definitely Kahn . He still drove people crazy .
He wondered how he should speak to him .
Open speaking . It seemed like there was a way of speaking beyond your consciousness, and it probably wouldn’t be that hard if he learned how to do it .
The action of releasing your senses outside . It was similar to releasing your mind, so releasing your consciousness probably wouldn’t be that hard either .
Yeon-woo focused his senses on Kahn, and tried to make his thoughts tangible so they could be sent .
Kahn felt what Yeon-woo was doing and told him to take it easy .
[Hey . From what I can tell, it’s probably only been a while since you learned about the base of your consciousness . So it’s hard to… . . ]
[Is this how you do it?]
[… . . do it, but you did it . I guess . Since you were always like this . ]
Kahn had a speechless expression seeing Yeon-woo use Open Speaking .
[You have learned the way to deliver your thoughts by focusing your consciousness . The skill ‘Open Speaking’ is being created . ]
[Open Speaking]
Proficiency: 0 . 0%
Summary: Focusing your consciousness can deliver your thoughts to people you want . Depending on the proficiency, there are various methods to use this .
Yeon-woo slid the message down and looked at Kahn .
Hair that was as messed up as his shoes . Clothes that looked like diapers . A dull sword .
He looked filthy because of all the time he had spent in this mountain, but there was still a certain sharpness to him .
It was different from how he was in the tutorial . Back then, he wasn’t able to control himself, but now, he knew how to freely cover himself .
[It’s been a while . ]
Kahn hugged Yeon-woo with a welcoming face .
[I know right! Whew . I thought we would see each other again . But I didn’t know it would be this sudden, bro . ]
Bro . The word that he said when he was bored . It was definitely Kahn .
[I saw you got pretty famous during this time . You used to create messes in the tutorial . Hm? And now you’re doing it here . Hehe . ]
Chatter chatter . He still spoke a lot .
Yeon-woo aimed his senses again in case he lost his focus . He still needed some more time to get used to Open Speaking .
[But what are you doing here? And where’s Doyle?]
[That’s… . . ]
Kahn was beginning to explain with a strange expression .
[Hm . Youngest . Aren’t you going to introduce him?]
It was a ticklish high-pitched voice . It seemed to be a cute woman .
But Kahn grimaced like it was disgusting and lifted his head .
[Granny . If you’re gonna try something to this kid I advise… . . ack!]
Kahn was cut off and screamed at the lightning that suddenly came from the sky .
The lightning continued for some time .
Grrr, boom!
[S, Stop! I said stop!]
[Hohoho . If you say useless things again, I’ll rip your mouth off . Understood?]
[… . . yes, sir!]
Kahn straightened his back and shouted in a loud voice .
Yeon-woo widened his eyes seeing what happened . Even with his Extrasensory Perception, it was sudden . It definitely wasn’t something to be taken lightly .
‘Rune magic . ’
The language of the gods, rune, was tricky to handle . There weren’t a lot of people in the Tower who could use it this neatly .
[Anyway, bring him here . ]
Kahn pointely looked at Yeon-woo . As if begging him to follow him .
Yeon-woo subconsciously grinned . The guy was the same .
After his Extrasensory Perception was opened, he wouldn’t have any trouble walking around, so he was able to quickly follow after Kahn .
He wouldn’t have normally just followed him like that . But he was curious about the Sadhu who lived in the fifth mountain .
‘Anyhow . This guy, he got a lot stronger . ’
Yeon-woo had just one thought looking at Kahn’s back . ‘How?’
From Yeon-woo’s perspective, what Kahn accomplished so far was unbelievable .
His well gathered strength was sharp . It was like it was in his sheath right now, but when it was pulled out, it would cause a storm . Completely fitting of his nickname, Blood Sword .
It was incomparable to what he did in the tutorial . It was a good thing .
Since Kahn was ambitious like him .
But unlike him, who had the advantage of Dragon Body, Kahn had nothing like that .
But if he had still gotten this far . That meant he worked that much more .
Kahn wasn’t stronger than Yeon-woo . But he would definitely be worthwhile to spar with . No, he even thought that Kahn might be dangerous .
He had wanted to beat Phante and Edora that bad .

He had passed the tutorial without him knowing, and he had probably continued to train while climbing the Tower .
And he had arrived at the 20th floor faster because Yeon-woo had his hands tied with the 11th floor .
But like he hadn’t completely isolated himself from the outside, he seemed to know what Yeon-woo had done outside .
[Hey . But how did you get this strength? I can’t read anything . Did you eat a dragon somewhere or something?]
Like Yeon-woo was looking at Kahn with interested eyes, Kahn was looking Yeon-woo up and down like he was an interesting animal .
He also looked like he was sick of something .
[Hehe . I know that feeling all too well . ]
Shanon snickered . He wasn’t in the Black Bracelet, but hidden in a shadow . All because he was curious about the Sadhu .
Yeon-woo told Shanon to stop saying useless things and spoke to Kahn .
[I became half a dragon . ] [TN: In Korean, becoming a dragon is equivalent to the rags to riches idiom in English . ]
[…it’s not funny . Sheesh, you still don’t know how to tell jokes . ]
Kahn shook his head, not knowing Yeon-woo was actually telling the truth .
In the meantime, they reached the peak .
There were people at the top like they had been waiting for Yeon-woo .
Two people stepped out to greet him . Including Kahn, there were 3, so half of the people Yeon-woo had felt were here .
[Hm . A mask?]
[Hoho . But your outfit’s pretty normal . Are you here to train?]
It was a woman with white hair all the way down to her feet . Overall, her body was extremely curvy, and her large chest added to her seductiveness . Even though his senses were closed, she was still sexy .
Magic flowed around her . rune magic . The lightning that had fallen on Kahn was definitely from this magician .
On the other side, there was a short small child . His smiling face was cute .
But Yeon-woo paused while running .
He was one of the two high rankers that Yeon-woo felt when he opened his Extrasensory Perception .
The child looked like a brat, but there was something fierce inside him . It was like a beast .
If he was to compare him with the Martial King, it was like the Martial King was the king of the jungle, but the boy was a beast who roamed the forest alone, looking for prey .
No, just considering the aura coming from him, he could be compared to a demon .
Demonic energy .
The energy that demons were said to use . If his smiling face disappeared, it was clear the demonic energy would suddenly pop out .
‘Sacred Red Tree Victoria and Pestilence Ghost Kindred . ’
Yeon-woo realized who they were immediately with the information in the diary .
Victoria was a magician well-versed in rune magic .
rune magic, called the language of the gods, was tricky to use .
You had to use set words, so if you made a mistake, the consequences could be deadly .
However, if you learned it, you could use it in many ways .
Most artifacts or buffers used runes . And what would happen if you could control them freely?

You would be able to do more things than normal magicians . That was Victoria’s case .
She was well-known, but her brother had never really met her, and it was interesting to see her here .
Kindred, on the other hand, was different .
The clan that serves a nameless demon, Devil Army . They’re organized under 9 bishops .
The way each of them served their devil god was different .
Kindred is the 2nd bishop, not well-known to the public, and he’s been looking for something on the 20th floor for a long time . From what my friend from the Devil Army said, it has something to do with a holy object . But that’s just his assumption, in reality, no one really knows .
However, there’s one thing that’s for sure . Kindred has no plans to leave the 20th floor until he finds it .
Even when we passed through the floor and fought a war with the Devil Army, he never showed himself . I was only able to find out about his identity by coincidence .
‘But he’s still here . It’s probably been over 10 years . What’s he searching for so hard?’
Yeon-woo’s mind was completely on Kindred . But he didn’t show it . It was a secret that he was a bishop of the Devil Army, and if he sensed something strange, his plans could be ruined .
So Yeon-woo tried not to look at Kindred as much as possible .
[Nice to meet you, handsome oppa . ]
Fortunately, Victoria stepped up actively . She winked at Yeon-woo . Even though she couldn’t see, it was natural like she could see perfectly in front of her .
A faint minty scent wafted over in the wind . It was a scent that would’ve made most men’s hearts skip a beat .
But Kahn grimaced like he didn’t like it .
[What do you mean he’s good looking, he’s wearing a mask! And do you even know the difference in age between you and… . . ow!]
Kahn rolled down the hill after being hit with a ball of fire .
[Hoho . I like everything about you except for your mouth . Understood?]
Victoria smiled revealing her canines . The remnants of the rune around her dissipated .
Yeon-woo’s eyes sparkled again seeing that .
This time as well, he hadn’t been able to feel the magic activate . The moment the rune disappeared, it became magic and beat up Kahn .
‘Does she prepare her rune in advance and use it when she needs it?’
Yeon-woo looked at the bracelet wrapped around Victoria’s right arm . There were small rune letters packed on it .
When she summoned the ball of fire, she touched her bracelet with her finger . Then, a letter on the bracelet disappeared and activated magic .
It seemed to be an artifact that magicians used to prepare magic in advance .
‘Yes . Victoria’s known to be as skilled in making artifacts as much as she uses rune magic . ’
From what he heard, Victoria was one of the top 5 magicians along with Henova .
‘She uses Memorize to store them, and uses it when she needs it . Sounds okay for me to use as well . ’
Everytime he fought, he felt that fighting shouldn’t be focused on using skills or physical strength .
Often, he felt the need for magic . It was a waste to use Magic Circuit just for his Mugong as well .
However, he was busy enough already focusing on his Mugong, and didn’t even think about touching magic .
But if he stored it beforehand, it looked like it would be a big help to Mugong too .
‘I needed to study about mechanical magic too . And whether it be the Philosopher’s Stone of the pocket watch, I need more knowledge to fix them . ’
So he thought he would be able to learn something if he observed her .

[Ung . Handsome oppa . I like that you’re curwious, but I’m embawessed it you keep on looking at me like that . ]
Yeon-woo stepped back in shock when Victoria suddenly appeared right in front of his nose .
Victoria was smiling seductively where Yeon-woo had been standing . She winked again .
Yeon-woo felt shivers down his back .
‘She read me . ’
He had focused his consciousness to see the rune magic, but she noticed it .
Well, considering her leve, it was probably weirder if she didn’t notice it .
But what made him shiver more was the fact that she approached him without him realizing it .
Another rune was disappearing next to her . Blink . It was magic that allowed you to teleport short distances .
Even with his Extrasensory Perception open, she avoided it . Magic was scary in this aspect . You couldn’t predict it .
There was only one way to prevent it . It was getting rid of the magician quickly .
But seeing Victoria, it probably wasn’t going to be easy . The energy around her was probably defense mechanisms she set up .
The problem was that other than Kahn, he was the weakest person out of the 5 Sadhu .
This was a cave of beasts .
There was only one thing that was good about it .
Since this was where beasts stayed, it was that much better of a place to train . Yeon-woo was planning on training his Yin Sword here .
But before that, he had to make a good impression on the tenants here before him . A word of two that they said to him could be a big help .
[I’m sorry . It was my first time seeing rune magic . ]
Victoria lightly laughed .
[Hng . If that’s the case . But still, be careful in the future . Everyone here is really selfish, so they’re sensitive about others observing them . But I guess you’re interested in rune magic?]
[Yes . A little . ]
[Then should I teach you?]
His eyes widened because he didn’t expect her to say it so easily .
What was she planning? Yeon-woo knew there weren’t any free things in the world . He was suspicious of her .
Like she read his thoughts, she grinned as if telling him not to worry .
[Of course, not for free . There’s just one condition . ]
[What is it?]
[I can’t really say it here . ]
Victoria’s eyes sparkled . She looked like a snake looking at her prey .
[Do you want to eat some ramen at my house and talk about some things?] [TN: Inviting someone to eat ramen at your house is the equivalent of asking someone to Netflix and chill . ]
