It was definitely a foreshadowing of a predator .
Yeon-woo quickly circulated his magic power to check the Philosopher’s Stone . However, unlike his concerns, the stone was cleanly set in his Magic Circuit, and it was perfectly doing its role as the main core .
There wasn’t any resistance . It was like it was a part of him since the beginning . The demonic power mixed with the magic power had synchronized with his body .
The traces of the demonization couldn’t be found anywhere .
‘Was it in my head? Or was it just simply taking its last stand?’
But Yeon-woo was still worried, so he searched not only throughout the stone, but all over his body . He even scanned his unconscious again . The demonization wasn’t there . Like it had never been .
So Yeon-woo felt even more uncomfortable . If it had simply been its last stand, there would’ve been a slight trace left somewhere . But it was too clean .
“Cain? Cain!”
Yeon-woo came to attention at the hands that were roughly shaking his shoulders .
Brahm was looking at him with concerned eyes .
“Did something happen? You’re breathing isn’t steady . ”
Yeon-woo shook his head . He couldn’t let them worry about him .
“It’s nothing . The resistance of the Philosopher’s Stone and the Magic Circuit was stronger than I thought… . . so it’s probably because I’m tired from that . ”’
“Of course . That must be it . It must’ve been difficult . How about going in to rest?”
“It’s nothing . I’m alright now . Other than that, what happened to me in the meantime?”
Yeon-woo looked at the mess around him . The tools they had been using for experiments were scattered all across the floor . The mountain of documents had fallen as well .
“As expected, you don’t have a clue about what happened outside . ”
“Yes . ”
“Actually, it was chaotic . ”
While Yeon-woo had been focusing on dominating the demonization, Yeon-woo’s body consecutively crumbled and recuperated . It had been chaotic because of the strong magic power storm that might’ve been due to his Demonic Dragon Body .
If Brahm and the Head Elder hadn’t stepped up to forcefully seal his body, half of the village might’ve been blown away .
Yeon-woo nodded in understanding . Magic power was just flowing inside him, but he felt limitless . If he raised a fuss, he couldn’t even tell how destructive it would be .
A power that had to be stopped by two people . The painful side effects seemed to be from that .
“Other than that . ”
The Head Elder pushed his glasses up and asked Yeon-woo with a serious gaze .
“How’s the Philosopher’s Stone? Is it useful?”
Brahm and Henova nodded . Since they had finished the treasure of the century, they wanted to know as the creator .
Yeon-woo slightly raised the corners of his mouth .
“Should we test it?”
Even while finishing the stone in the village, Yeon-woo didn’t go easy on his training .
His body would be able to tell if he took a break for even a few days . He needed to steadily make an effort .
Additionally, he had learned new powers, so Yeon-woo couldn’t slack off .
Even though it was the training area that was as comfortable to him as his own house, Yeon-woo felt a thrill like it was his first time here .
It was probably because of the powerful magic power flowing through his body .
The magic power from the Philosopher’s Stone became stronger as time went on . The Dragon and Demon’s Blessings woke up one by one, and his magic power was continually purified, expanding his circuit .
Like it was naturally growing stronger without Yeo-woo’s interference, the Philosopher’s Stone was slowly adjusting Yeon-woo’s body .
It cleared the unfamiliarity between the Philosopher’s Stone and the Demonic Dragon Body .
After the process was finished, he would be able to grow again, like he had awakened another step .
There was a reason why the Summer Queen had chosen the Philosopher’s Stone as a replacement for her Dragon Heart .
For a moment, his concerns about the demonization flew away . Yeon-woo shoved it to a corner of his mind . Even if he thought about it, he wouldn’t come to an answer, and right now, he just wanted to check his changed body .
Brahm, the Head Elder, and Henova, who were watching him from the outside of the training area, felt the same .
“Come out . ”
Checheche—
A long shadow stretched out from where Yeon-woo was and split into two . Shanon and Hanryeong were completely armed, and above them, Rebecca quietly came down .
Confirming his new powers would be done best in action .
Yeon-woo was planning on going against the 3 of them with all his power .
Shanon and Hanryeong’s levels had gone up by several tiers after the Philosopher’s Stone . And even with that aside, they had constantly been researching the inheritance of the Monkey King .
Rebecca also wanted to check her skills, because she had recovered a part of them from when she was alive . The holiness of Cernunnos was especially about to burst in her body .
If he fought with them, it wouldn’t be easy .
[Hey, Master . ]
“What?”
Yeon-woo lifted his head from examining Carshina’s Dagger and his Magic Bayonet when Shanon called him .
[Don’t take revenge on us just because you got beat up, okay?]
Yeon-woo smirked .
“I was just about to say that . ”
[Hehe, sure . I was waiting for that . ]
Shanon warmed up his body and dropped his sword breaker that Henova made for him onto the ground .
Henova’s eyes slightly widened when he saw that, but he just crossed his arms and continued to watch them .
[I’ll drop you to the ground crying . ]
Shanon giggled like just thinking about it was fun . Meanwhile, Hanryeong activated the ‘Grave of the Nine Swords,’ and Rebecca straightened her back, stepping back to swing the swords in each of her hands .
And in that moment… . .
Kwaduk—
Yeon-woo attempted to awaken his Dragon Body . The dragon scales that grew from his shoulders reached under his eyes, and the dragon’s wings soared up, emitting heat all around them . The ground that he was stepping on instantly turned black .
[Goddess’s Stigmata]
When Athena’s blessing was added on top of this, his fire grew to an uncontrollable amount .
Kwang!
Just then, Yeon-woo strongly kicked the ground . Like a portal was opened, a deep hole opened in the ground, and Yeon-woo suddenly appeared in front of Shanon .
However, it wasn’t Shanon who stepped up to block him .
[Hey!]
[Sorry, but I’ll go first . ]
Hanryeong had stepped up, throwing eight swords randomly around him, and in his hand, was a giant scimitar in his hand .
[I’ve been wanting to fight properly with you . ]
Hanryeong was being genuine . Although his clan crumbled because of Yeon-woo, Hanryeong became a Death Knight and he changed his opinion as he observed Yeon-woo .
Yeon-woo reminded him of his younger self . Someone who jumped into a situation regardless of how dangerous it was, and took everything he wanted .
Watching Yeon-woo, Hanryeong felt like his nonexistent heart beat faster . He felt the spirit of fighting, something he hadn’t felt after his lacking son was born .
Of course, there were some things that were different .
Unlike himself, who went crazy for battles, Yeon-woo was always cool-headed . Yeon-woo’s thoughts were so deep that sometimes, even he didn’t know what Yeon-woo was thinking about .
So Hanryeong wanted to know more about Yeon-woo .
But there was no way an untalented speaker like him could speak with Yeon-woo . Thankfully, there was a method that warriors could use .
The sword . The sword of a martial artist could deliver words .
He had never crossed swords with Yeon-woo before, so Hanryeong wanted to use this time to read Yeon-woo’s mind . Checking his own skills was a plus .
Kwang!
