Chapter 566: Night of Potential (2)
The moment Cale thought that this testing ground might be a real world…
He started to think .
‘If this is a different world and I need to leave this place to return home…’
Then there was only one answer .
‘Let's teach them . ’
Teach the people here how to do it .
Originally, the twenty years old Kim Rok Soo was pretty useless .
However, as he passed 25, 30, and then 35, Kim Rok Soo became a decent person .
He had grown .
If even he had grown, what if these people who were supposed to die here ended up surviving and growing?
‘They’ll all be better than me . ’
Just thinking about it was making him laugh .
That was what Cale wanted .
For that reason, he had started this first lesson .
"Screeeech- screeeeeeech!”
Cale moved even faster toward the 3-meter tall mummy-like skeleton monster charging toward him .
Jang Man Soo had barely managed to crawl over to the ledge and peeked out while holding onto the railing .
He could see the wind surrounding Cale and the reddish-gold light in his hands .
But Jang Man Soo started to shout .
“Rok Soo! Dodge!”
He could see a black animal charging toward Cale .
The black snake wolf .
Jang Man Soo had seen people being eaten by this black wolf that was covered in snakeskin .
He had also heard that people who said goodbye to him as they went hunting were squashed by that bastard’s front paw .
That bastard was a source of fear and hell .
Kim Rok Soo looked too weak and tiny compared to this house-sized snake wolf .
“Roooooar!”
The black snake wolf charged at him from the right with its jaw open .
Jang Man Soo’s eyes opened and his hands that were holding the railing started to shake .
‘No . ’
Kim Rok Soo could not die .
“Rok Soo--!”
Baaaaang!
Jang Man Soo shouted as he heard a loud explosion .
A lot of dust shot up .
However, the dust soon subsided .
Jang Man Soo subconsciously opened his mouth .
“…A shield?”
A silver shield with two wings open was blocking the black wolf .
“…Holy crap . How many powers does this son of a bitch have?”
He heard Park Jin Tae mumbling, but Jang Man Soo could not say anything .
The shield was small compared to his shield .
It was only big enough to block the black wolf's face and front paw .
But the way it was being used was different .
At least, that’s how Jang Man Soo felt .
Kim Rok Soo was not using the shield to block the enemy, but so that he could keep moving forward .
Jang Man Soo made eye contact with Cale who was on the other side of the shield .
He might be wrong, but it seemed as if Rok Soo was looking at him .
It was as if he was teaching him that this was how to use a shield even though he was in the middle of a battle .
It was as if he was showing how to do it .
“…Did I make a mistake?”
“Of course not!”
Jang Man Soo looked toward Park Jin Tae . But Park Jin Tae was not looking at him . He was speaking .
“He’s obviously using the shield like that for you to see, Mr . Jang Man Soo! Isn’t that obvious?”
Park Jin Tae stopped talking for a moment .
He still couldn’t take his eyes off the rose-gold light in Cale’s hands .
“Crazy bastard . ”
Park Jin Tae realized that the pressure flowing out of Cale had disappeared at some point .
However, his hand was still full of sweat .
“Screeeech!”
Cale, who had been looking at Jang Man Soo, started to walk again .
Craaaaaaack-
His shield slowly started to crack .
This Indestructible Shield was not even at half power after all .
“…And I can’t overdo it . ”
Cale wasn't using all of his powers .
Efficiency was the most important thing right now .
Swoooooooosh-
Cale rode the wind and shot forward before the shield broke .
“Roooooooooooooooar!”
The wolf’s roar echoed in Cale's ear .
Someone landed on the roof at that moment .
“Huff, huff! I’m here!”
It was Bae Puh Rum .
Kim Min Ah walked over to Bae Puh Rum . To be more specific, she had walked over to her brother who was on his back .
"Oppa!”
“Mr . Kim Min Joon . ”
Choi Han also walked over to Kim Min Joon and made eye contact with him .
Kim Min Ah flinched for a moment before stepping back . It was because she saw Grandma Kim standing behind Choi Han .
“I will get started . ”
Grandma Kim immediately put her hand on Kim Min Joon's infected wound .
A bright light surrounded his wound .
They heard a sharp voice at that moment .
“Screeeeeech!”
The skeleton covered in bandages swung its arms at Cale .
Swoooooooosh-
The bandages on both of its arms instantly turned into sharp whips that struck down to split Cale in half .
The movement was elaborate .
However, there were no openings . Actually, even if there were any openings, they would only last a few short seconds . It swung its bandage whips around before striking down at Cale .
Park Jin Tae bit down on his lips .
“…Those damn bandages-”
Park Jin Tae who had escaped from that monster in the past to survive started to frown .
He heard Choi Han’s voice at that moment .
“Three steps to the left . ”
“…What the hell are-”
Park Jin Tae's eyes opened wide .
Cale quickly took three steps to the left .
“The blind spot of the two arm bandage attack . ”
Everybody looked toward Choi Han at that moment .
“Please look at Rok Soo hyung . I'm just repeating what he told me . ”

They heard Lee Chul Min’s voice at that moment .
“My goodness! It really is a blind spot!”
Park Jin Tae’s eyes opened wide as he quickly looked back at Cale .
‘It’s as Choi Han, no, as Kim Rok Soo said!’
Three steps to the left .
An area where the bandage whips could not reach was there .
“Five steps forward . ”
Cale then quickly took five steps forward . He mumbled the things he had told Choi Han .
Choi Han continued to speak as well .
"The bandage monster will raise its left arm . ”
"The bandage monster will raise its left arm . ”
It was a pattern .
It was a monster’s unchanging pattern that all monsters Grade 1 and lower had .
Cale could see the bandage monster raise its left arm .
“The first weakness . The left armpit . ”
Cale could see a red rock in the spot of the bandage monster’s armpit when it raised its arm .
“Aim . ”
Park Jin Tae was hearing Choi Han's voice, but it felt as if Kim Rok Soo was talking to him .
That was not it .
It was actually Kim Rok Soo .
Choi Han was sharking Kim Rok Soo’s will .
Choi Han continued to speak .
“Fire . ”
The moment Park Jin Tae saw the bandage monster raise its arm… He saw a rose gold light shooting toward its left armpit .
It looked like a gun .
Park Jin Tae subconsciously took his gun out of his pocket .
“First weakness destroyed . ”
“Screeeech-!”
He heard the monster’s scream and Choi Han's voice at the same time .
Park Jin Tae’s eyes were still focused on Cale .
“Screeech, kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”
The screeching monster looked toward Cale .
Sharp thorns shot out from on top of the bones that had been covered by the bandages and headed for Cale .
However, Cale was not there .
“Move through the legs . ”
Cale’s body was already passing through the monster’s skeleton legs .
Park Jin Tae got the chills seeing him move so boldly .
Who would ever think about moving through a Grade 1 monster’s legs?
Especially a monster that swung bandage whips all around itself!
‘But Kim Rok Soo managed to do it . ’
He passed through the legs as if he was lying down and sliding through before raising his arms .
“The second weakness . ”
He would quickly take care of this monster .
“Inside the right thigh . ”
Crack, crackle!
The Fire of Destruction, two strands of its fiery thunderbolt struck the leg bone by its thigh .
“Explode!”
Baaaaaang!
The fiery thunderbolts exploded . The skeleton monster’s screaming shook the area .
“Screeeeeeeeeeeeech---!”

Its eyes inside the skull turned red .
“Approaching berserk state . ”
This was a unique trait of the skeleton monster .
It would immediately enter berserk state once the second weakness was attacked and become twice as strong .
That was why this bastard was scary .
‘If you don’t know about it that is . ’
But if you knew about it?
‘It’s very easy . ’
The skeleton monster turned around .
Cale started to laugh .
He could see Park Jin Tae standing on the roof and looking at him with a focused gaze .
“Good, he’s paying attention . ”
Cale quickly moved to the right .
Choi Han continued to speak .
“The black snake wolf’s second attack . ”
The black wolf to the right jumped over the skeleton and charged for Cale .
“Aim for the ankle . ”
Fire .
The fourth fiery thunderbolt pierced through the black wolf’s right ankle .
Its skin was like a snake .
However, its weakness was fire .
“Roooooooooar!”
The wolf roared as its body leaned to one side .
Choi Han continued to speak .
“Jump . ”
Cale kicked off the ground . He stepped on the wolf’s head and his body shot up .
Then he was able to make eye contact with the bandage monster .
“Screeeech-!!”
He made eye contact with the skeleton monster that was swinging its bandages and thorny bones while looking at him .
The moment he looked into those eyes…
“Fire the last bullets . ”
Choi Han made a comment . The word ‘bullet’ etched itself in Park Jin Tae’s mind .
The rose gold thunderbolts struck the skeleton's two eyes .
Baaaaaang!
They were not strong enough to destroy the skeleton's head .
They were only strong enough to cause explosions where the monster’s eyes should be .
Cale used the explosion to move and his body rolled on the ground .
The skeleton monster’s last weakness was its eyes that had turned red .
It was a critical weakness that only appeared once it went berserk .
The skeleton monster’s body started to tilt without even being able to scream .
“Roooooooooooooooar!”
The skeleton monster’s body was starting to fall on the black wolf .
The black wolf that had one ankle ripped off was doing its best to dodge the skeleton's body .
It was because there was fire coming out of where the skeleton's red eyes had exploded .
The black snake wolf that had snake skin could not let that fire touch its body .
However, Choi Han's voice reached Jang Man Soo's ears at that moment .
“Use the shield . ”
A silver shield blocked the black snake wolf's path .
The snake wolf could not move forward . And on top of it…
“Roooooooooooooooar!”

A burning skeleton head, its sharp thorny bones, and bandages that would easily catch fire fell on the snake wolf .
Baaaaaaaaaang-!
Fire shot up .
The people on the roof heard Choi Han’s voice .
“I only managed to memorize the first battle . Rok Soo hyung will tell you about the rest . ”
Park Jin Tae, Jang Man Soo, Kim Min Ah, and the others all looked away from the burning monsters and at Cale who was heading back to the building .
‘C, crazy bastard!’
Park Jin Tae’s voice was shaking .
He couldn't even think straight long enough to try to hide it .
How long had it been?
How long had it taken him to take down those two monsters?
It didn't seem to take very long .
“Damn it . ”
Park Jin Tae’s hands were shaking .
‘I feel like I could do it . ’
Damn it!
He felt as if he could take down the bandage monster . He felt as if he could take down the black snake wolf as well .
‘As long as I'm with Jang Man Soo that is . ’
He turned toward Jang Man Soo .
Jang Man Soo's hands were shaking as well . Jang Man Soo started to speak .
“Umm, umm, hey, Jin Tae . Don’t you think we could take care of the bandage monster and snake wolf when the Grade 1 monsters come to attack?”
Park Jin Tae chuckled while looking at Jang Man Soo who was speaking while looking at him with an awkward expression . That was all he could do .
He felt as if he could take down these monster bastards that he had run away from all this time as Jang Man Soo said .
‘Of course, we don't have the experience . ’
It was not easy to move around while attacking the monsters following the pattern with proper timing as Kim Rok Soo had done .
It would only be possible if they trained over and over to make that pattern feel normal .
‘But Kim Rok Soo did it . ’
Was it possible?
Could a person move like that because they had foresight and used data?
‘…He couldn’t do it without a ton of experience . ’
Park Jin Tae could not believe it .
He quietly looked at the approaching Kim Rok Soo .
However, Cale, who had memorized these patterns as if they were his own instincts and had tons of experience that Park Jin Tae did not know about, let out a small sigh .
‘My body is weak . ’
His body felt slow compared to when he had been team leader Kim Rok Soo . He was weak .
He didn't have enough muscles .
Even the ancient powers that weren’t even at half strength were difficult for this body to handle .
‘But I was still able to fight pretty easily . ’
Drip .
Cale wiped away the small amount of blood at the corner of his lip and looked up at the roof .
A corner of Park Jin Tae’s lips was up as he looked down at Cale with an odd expression . Cale chuckled at Park Jin Tae and started to speak .
“Kim Min Ah, Bae Puh Rum . ”
He sounded extremely calm, as if he had just come back from a walk .
Kim Min Ah and Bae Puh Rum looked at Cale .
They weren't the only ones .
Everybody inside the building was looking at Cale through the windows or on the roof .
Boom!
They heard two more monsters approaching, but they were still focused on Cale .
Cale quietly took in their gazes and started to speak as if that was easy to do .
“Come down . I'll teach you guys something this time . ”
