Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 150

54. Heavenly Warrior (2)

The invasion of demons cannot be compared with the threat of monsters, and it is a matter of the survival of the entire human race.

So, countries around the world gathered their strength to form the High-Level Hunter Alliance, and agreed to cooperate with the rather harsh Dragon Blood.

However, in any case, the actual war was fought in Russia, and Russia suffered the most. After the war, the countries that helped Russia most actively were the United States, China, and the European Union, which was under pressure from both powers.

Korea was missing there.

Even if you combine all the firepower that the Russian army poured into the 200 high-ranking hunters, you can’t even touch the Demon King. Since Cha Shin Hyeon defeated the Demon King alone, it has become meaningless to discuss warfare. Is that all? Without Cha Shin Hyeon, there would be no alliance with Dragon Blood.

All he had done was to send him and a few high-ranking hunters, including Lee Ji-hye, but none of the major countries demanded more from Korea than that.

Thanks to this, Korea was no different from usual even when the great powers were busy with post-war processing. In a way, the great war in Russia was a story of a distant country.

The situation in the Hunter world was the same. Since there were only a few hunters who had been dispatched in the first place, the work that had to be done was completed quickly.

It’s been a week since I returned from Russia.

Ding dong- ding dong-

Lee Ji-hye, who could afford it, visited Cha Shin Hyeon’s house.

“Welcome, Vice Guild Leader!”

Her Cha Eun-seol welcomed her.

“It’s been a while, Eunseol.”

Lee Ji-hye, who greeted them face to face, asked.

“How about Shin Hyeon?”

“These days, I just stay locked up in my study. I have a lot to think about.”

“It came out anyway.”

Cha Shin Hyeon opened her door and revealed herself, lightly beating her sister, shaking her head.

“Aren’t you terrified of being unpredictable?”

“It would be great if I could become dirty after a few days. It’s human and nice.”

Cha Shin Hyeon replied harshly.

“Shall we talk in the library?”

“like.”

“Ah, what kind of secret talk are you talking about out of sight!”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who neatly ignored the exaggerated Cha Eun-seol’s fuss, led Lee Ji-hye to her study.

In fact, Cha Shin Hyeon, who speaks as a library, has no hobby of stacking hardcovers. Separated from the bedroom and wardrobe, there is only one more room. The concept of a drawing room that exists separately from the living room.

The two of them sat down in the armchairs, and a moment later a knock was heard.

“come in.”

After Cha Shin Hyeon’s permission is granted, the door opens cautiously.

Even though he was in the house, an old man came in, wearing a suit and white gloves. A steaming teacup was placed on the tray in one hand.

“Eat.”

“Ah, um, thank you… … .”

Lee Ji-hye spoke very awkwardly and glanced at her old man. It wasn’t that he was embarrassed by slurping slurs at an old man.

The old man’s clothes, attitude, and tone of voice look like a veteran who has been a butler for about 30 years in a prestigious European family. Although Cha Shin Hyeon’s house is quite large, it was never enough to hire such an old-fashioned butler. I don’t know if it’s an ordinary housekeeper.

It’s not the only thing that’s odd. Although his neatly combed hair and a well-groomed beard are said to be white, he does not see the usual wrinkles on the old man’s face. Even with good management, this was too severe.

“Have a good time.”Either way, the old butler politely bowed to the end and left the room.

After staring at the closed door for a while with complex and subtle eyes, Lee Ji-hye opened her mouth.

“Aren’t you embarrassed, that person? no… That devil.”

It was.

The butler who didn’t exist until a week ago but suddenly appeared in Cha Shin Hyeon’s house was actually a demon. It wasn’t just a demon, it was a top-level demon, a demon that was second to that of a dragon.

The old man’s true identity was Saltion, the demon king’s faithful right arm.

Saltion had a special ability to change his appearance as he wanted. Although he could not disguise himself as any other creature at all, it was not difficult for him to assume the form of a human, whose silhouette did not differ significantly.

In the past, he used that ability to send to Earth as an advance squad, disguised as a human, and obtained information about it. How could the demons raid the dungeon using the means of ‘moving without being noticed by humans’ without obtaining information in advance?

Those excellent superpowers are now just transformed into a butler-style as Cha Shin Hyeon orders and are being used to do housework, so it would be grievous in the underworld if the dead demon king found out.

“Actually, it was a sacrifice to test the magic that the Demon King was trying to use on me, but the results came out better than I expected. I thought I would kill him cleanly, but when I think about it, I think it’s a bit of a waste because his brute force and superpowers are usable.”

“It is, but… But what if it suddenly changes and hits the back of the head?”

“do not worry. The original personality has completely disappeared, and the new personality is more submissive to me than it did to the Demon King.”

Cha Shin Hyeon reassured the concerned Lee Ji-hye.

It’s not just a psychic ban. The current Saltion only has memories of his time as a demon, and he was nothing more than a robot that committed suicide without hesitation when Cha Shin Hyeon ordered it.

When I gave a brief explanation, Lee Ji-hye shook her head.

“Then I’m glad. Actually, this is what Shin Hyeon knows and does better than me.”

She did not respond to the words that she had destroyed her personality and created a new one. She never thought that the demons were pitiful, and she was surprised by Cha Shin Hyeon’s ability.

“You didn’t come here to tell me your worries, did you?”

“I’ll go with you, okay? The biggest reason was that I missed Shin Hyeon, and if I had to pick one more thing… … .”

“Did Eunseol even contact you?”

“uh? How did you know?”

Lee Ji-hye was a little surprised. Cha Shin Hyeon, who had a momentarily hardened expression, frowned.

“Oh, no… He’s been nagging me a bit these days. I wondered if he even contacted you to get me out of the room.”

“Ahaha, I guess I have that much effect?”

Jihye smiled softly as if she didn’t like it. Cha Shin Hyeon also laughed outwardly.

But his stomach was not comfortable.

It was because she had read Ji-hye’s thoughts and said it without thinking.

not intended After the bloody battle with the Demon King, the explosively expanded sense had gone too far, and now even the voices of the people around him could be heard as hallucinations.

Although only the lines that appeared on the surface rather than deep inside were read, it was not pleasant to read the other person’s thoughts.

Unable to read Cha Shin Hyeon’s mind, Lee Ji-hye spoke with her smiling face.

“ As Shin Hyeon said, Eunseol contacted me a little bit. For the past few days, my brother has been stuck in his room all day, worrying with a serious expression on his face. He seemed to be very worried.”

“It was a little deep in my thoughts.”

Cha Shin Hyeon sighed softly. Lee Ji-hye’s expression darkened.

“Maybe then… Is it because of that problem?”

It was a vague expression, but Cha Shin Hyeon understood it right away. It meant a phenomenon in which the shape of the body was not fixed. The only people I know are Alex, Elena, and Lee Ji-hye.

“Actually, I was talking to God.”

“… God?”

“Yes, the god who gave mankind a status window. I got a call when I became this kind of body. I have inquired about my condition.”

“… There was a bit of that in the past, but especially after fighting the Demon King, Shin Hyeon… You seem to be getting farther away from humans.”

If other people say this, I will avoid it, but I couldn’t dismiss it as nonsense because it was Cha Shin Hyeon’s words. Jihye Lee muttered in her melancholy voice.

She said, “I’ve been fabled, so I’m not really human.”

Cha Shin Hyeon smiled bitterly. Lee Ji-hye, who had a bad feeling for her, asked urgently.

“Then did you hear a solution from God? Yes?”

“I heard you.”

The thick accusation (苦笑) added bitterness to his voice.

“They say there is no solution.”

* * *

“this.”

The shape of the raised right hand shakes anxiously. Like a TV screen with an unstable antenna, like a fleeting mirage.

“How did you overcome it?”

Mushin did not immediately answer Cha Shin Hyeon’s question.

Mushin, who was staring at Cha Shin Hyeon with a rather complicated gaze, opened his mouth after a while.

“To be honest, I didn’t get over it. To be more precise, I think it would be more accurate to say that he did not even think about overcoming it.”

“… is it?”

Cha Shin Hyeon muttered. Mushin spoke.

“When I was a human, I seriously believed in the possibility of an allegorical line. Of course, the top line was real, but somehow… Isn’t there such a thing as a way of practicing sages? I thought that if I kept that kind of thing thoroughly, I would be able to get closer to the Shinseng.”

“Do you mean to forbid fire food?”

“It is included. In addition to the physical aspect, did you not cultivate the mind as well? It starts with severing ties to the world. After going through that process, I had no regrets when I crossed the final wall.”

For this reason, Baek Un-cheon considered throwing off his body as ‘reason’ in the process of ascending, not as an object of ‘overcoming’.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean you don’t know what your situation is right now. After all, I too have gone through the top line and am here.”

“Can you explain?”

Cha Shin Hyeon politely asked. After thinking about the right word for a moment, Musin started explaining.

“Being new means becoming one with the heavens and the earth. This world means Earth after all, so in simple terms, you can think of it as assimilating with the planet.”

“Are you assimilated with the planet?”

“okay. Even all natural phenomena that humans call natural disasters can be manipulated at will, and we can see and hear the songs of the souls that fill this world. That outpost is the infinite expansion of the senses.”

“iced coffee.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded. He himself was one of the changes he was most keen on.

He did not open the sense of transcendence in particular, but his sense of feeling was vastly wider than before, and it continues to expand even now. He deliberately divided the conscious and unconscious minds and adjusted them so that if they went beyond a certain range, he ‘don’t care’. Otherwise, everyday life would have been difficult.

“Your expansion is slow right now because you are constraining yourself by locking yourself in the body, but you can’t stop the progress at all.”

“How far does it extend?”

“Yes, of course, the entire planet. If it’s a god, shouldn’t it be like that?”

It wasn’t something that didn’t make sense. If the eyes of the gods didn’t reach it because it was a rough place, it would be ridiculous as it is.

The problem was Mushin’s next words.

“And the point at which the extension of the senses is completed is probably the limit at which you can maintain a body.”

“… What do you mean, that?”

“You are currently half-god. It’s not that I’m a half-hearted person who lacks some ability, it’s just that I’ve become less of a god ‘yet’. When synchronization with this world ends, you will become a complete god, and you will no longer be able to stay in the underworld.”“Of course, ‘staying’ is not entirely impossible.”

The goddess who had been silently listening to her quietly opened her mouth.

“A strong spirit, also called Shinnaerim, who temporarily possesses a being who can receive spiritual power like a shaman. Or to temporarily appear on the earth as an incarnation, which is possible when very strict conditions are satisfied. That’s quite possible. But you cannot ‘live’ in the underworld like humans.”

“… … .”

As if sentenced to death, Cha Shin Hyeon was silent for a long time. After a while, he struggled to speak.

“Then how… Is there nothing at all?”

“Yes.”

As if trying to harden Cha Shin Hyeon’s sunken eyes even more coldly.

“You were so unaware of that fact, wasn’t it that you refused too?”

The goddess’ words were cold.

“Up the line.”

* * *

In Cha Shin Hyeon’s ears, who came back to reality, Lee Ji-hye’s voice trembled a little.

“The solution is… No?”

Instead of answering, Cha Shin Hyeon buried herself in the armchair. Lee Ji-hye jumped up from her seat.

“Well then… How is Shin Hyeon?”

“It will disappear. I don’t know when that will be.”

Cha Shin Hyeon answered dryly.

Lee Ji-hye, who was about to shout no to her, stopped. Cha Shin Hyeon signaled her to sit still and raise her hand.

“know. What do you want to say?”

Her shaking emotions flow through her senses without filtration.

Sadness, regret, sorrow, suffering… … .

Cha Shin Hyeon laughed as she felt the flow of affectionate emotions.

“Being a god is a bit attractive, but I don’t want to be a god right now. Unlike your seniors, I am not in a state where I have ceased to be attached to the world.”

The eyes of Cha Shin Hyeon, who spoke calmly, stood out.

“If there is no way, I have to find it.”

* * *

One of the monarchs who rule over all demons, Demon King Delite.

He had dozens of demons, and he had two subordinates that he especially cherished.

Saltion, who serves the Demon King right next to him, and Laprise, who externally represents the Demon King.

‘You’re not the kind of person who is so passionate about it.’

Laprise, who was counting the time, frowned.

Saltion was thoroughly in charge of the plan to invade the dimension where the dragons fled, whether it was Earth or not, so it was Saltion who supported the Demon King. Laprise was tasked with managing the Demon King’s territory in the absence of the Demon King.

From what I’ve heard, the human race in that dimension is said to be a weak-minded bastard that is difficult for even lower-level demons.

If that was the case, it would be all about dragon blood baboons, but the Demon King, who should have felt tired soon, still hadn’t returned.

Well, I did not understand why, after giving way a hundred times, the Demon King was engrossed in the long-awaited game. It was a kind of competition with him, but he recognized that ability. He wasn’t the kind of guy who could do things like this.

‘It wouldn’t have happened… … .’

I’d love to see you know.

Lafriz did not yet know the truth that his master, who had been the subject of fanaticism, had already been killed by a “insignificant” human.
