Episode 320

When Zeon, who had returned home after a long time, took off his robe and hung it on a hanger, Gaia came out as if she had been waiting for him.

-Beep!

“Gaia! How have you been?”

-Beep!

“Really? You must have been bored.”

Zeon patted Gaia’s head.

Gaia closed her eyes and enjoyed Zeon’s touch.

Gaia’s tail was wagging as if she was in a good mood.

While Zeon was handling the affairs of the North Sector, Brielle seemed to have not been able to play much with Gaia as she was busy building the magic generator.

That’s why Gaia whined that she was bored.

Zeon glanced at Brielle’s room.

Normally, he would have been the first to notice that Zeon had arrived, but he seemed to be really immersed in it since he didn’t even show his nose.

Zeon didn’t bother to call Brielle.

Because when you’re this immersed, you know that the best results come from just letting it be.

Zeon sat on the sofa and stared blankly out the window.

Gaia floated next to Zeon and leaned against him.

-Beep! Beep!

The constant whining sounded like a dog whining to its owner who had been away for a long time.

Zeon gently scratched Gaia’s chin. Then Gaia’s whining stopped.

So Zeon and Gaia looked out the window together for a long time.

Their peace was suddenly broken when Brielle burst through the door and came out.

“It’s finished!”

Brielle shouted, throwing up both hands.

“Have you completed the magic generator?”

“Hey, Zeon? When did you come?”

“A little while ago.”

“If you were here, why didn’t you call me?”

“Because I felt immersed in my research.”

“That was good. That was a crucial turning point.”

“So, have you completed the magic generator?”

“huh!”

Brielle answered with confidence.

Zeon said, stroking her head.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Hehehe! Still, I’m glad that the results were worth the effort. Want to take a look?”

“Okay! Let’s take a look.”

Zeon followed Brielle into her room.

There was a generator in the room that was larger than the magic generator outside.

“It’s pretty big, huh?”

“To supply electricity to many people, the power generation capacity must also be large. That’s why we expanded it.”

“Well done.”

“If we could just supply magic stones on a regular basis, hundreds of households would be able to use electricity without any problems. Let’s try operating one first, and if it works, we’ll make a few more.”

“Then shall we go underground?”

“Right now?”

“huh!”

“good!”

Brielle immediately put on her cone-shaped hat and prepared to go out.

After storing the magic generator in the subspace, Zeon came out wearing his robe.

He asked as if he suddenly remembered Brielle.

“Oh, how did that go?”

“that?”

“The hunters.”

“Ah! That’s all taken care of.”

“really?”

“huh!”

“Okay then.”

Brielle looked relieved.

“Aren’t you curious?”

“what?”

“What happened to the hunters?”

“I don’t care. Zeon would have just figured it out.”

Although Zeon was generous to those on his own side, Briel knew well how ruthless he could be to those he defined as his enemies.

Even without checking, I could guess how miserable the end of the Helbrin mercenary force would be.

Zeon said.

“I took care of everything, but I left one behind.”

“why?”

“You have the ability to detect demons.”

“That’s a useful ability.”

“So I handed it over to the goblin market.”

“Well done.”

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay! It might have been different in the past, but now I’m not shaken by things like that. I’ve become stronger.”

Brielle smiled at Zeon.

Zeon nodded at her genuine smile.

When we first met, Brielle was so addicted to drugs that it was dangerous to even look at her. But now she was healthy enough in body and mind to not be shaken by anything.

Because Brielle was happy about such a change, her steps towards the underground were light.

The two entered the underworld through a sewer in a dark alley in a slum.

As expected, a pungent smell welcomed them.

When I first came in, it was so disgusting that it was hard to bear, but once I got used to it, it wasn’t so painful this time.

After walking for a while through the labyrinthine underground sewers, the space where Jetoya and the people were staying appeared.

“ah!”

Jetoya was the first to discover the two people.

Brielle waved her hand.

“Long time no see. How have you been?”

“uh.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“Hey, what happened to the magic generator?”

“It’s finished.”

“Really?”

“of course.”

Brielle smiled and looked at Zeon.

Zeon immediately took out a magic generator from the subspace and placed it in the center of the underground space.

“That’s… … .”

“Is it really a magic generator?”

People who had been looking at Zeon with fearful expressions gathered around the magic generator as if possessed.

It was something I wanted so badly, but never had.

Some people had tears welling up in their eyes.

Brielle looked at Zeon.

“You need a magic stone to turn the generator.”

“I will give you the first magic stone as a gift.”

Zeon opened a subspace and took out a large magic stone.

It was obtained by slaying a B-class demon, not by mining it in a magic stone mine.

Of course, the purity and capacity were so great that ordinary magic stones could not even dare to keep up.

Zeon said as he installed the magic stone into the magic generator.

“With just this one magic stone, you can use it for years without worry.”

Click!

With a clicking sound, the magic stone was fitted into the magic generator without any gaps.

Brielle said, placing her hand on the button of the magic generator.

“Then turn on the generator?”

“huh!”

“Go back.”

Brielle pressed the button with all her might.

Woohoo!

The generator began to turn with a loud noise, like a demon awakened from its slumber.

“iced coffee!”

“The real generator is spinning.”

“oh my god…….”

The underground people who had been looking on with half anticipation and half worry opened their eyes wide.

Some people were sitting there sobbing.

“Ugh! Now we can use electricity too.”

“Is there really electricity coming out of there?”

“Can we finally live like humans?”

Zeon took out several items from subspace.

It was a light bulb and a power line.

I hung the light bulb on the ceiling and connected the power lines.

People looked at the sight with expressions of anticipation.

Finally, after finishing the installation, Xeon said.

“Then connect.”

He connected the power line directly to the generator.

In an instant, the dark basement brightened as if the sun had risen.

“Wow! It’s light.”

“It really shines.”

The people cheered in unison.

The children were jumping around happily, and the adults knelt down and prayed as if they were looking at the sun.

Jetoyado’s eyes widened as tears welled up in his eyes.

“It’s a real power plant. Now we can live like humans.”

“What do you think? Do you like my gift?”

“Perfect! I will definitely repay this light.”

Jetoyagya nodded in response to Brielle’s words.

Jetoya’s gaze was still fixed on the magic generator and electricity.

At that moment, something began to change inside Jetoya.

The first one to notice his change was Zeon.

Zeon said, taking Brielle’s hand and stepping back.

“That guy is waking up.”

“What, really?”

Brielle looked at Zeon in surprise.

“That guy is gathering mana. It’s a sign of awakening.”

Some people wake up without any warning, while others wake up with such a loud bang.

Zeon and Briel watched from a distance so as not to disturb Zetoya’s awakening.

The underground residents also sensed something ominous and stayed away from Jetoya.

Jetoya’s awakening continued amidst everyone’s attention.

As people started to feel bored, the surrounding mana density increased rapidly.

puck!

An explosion that only Jeto could feel occurred in his heart.

“after!”

Jetoya sighed and opened his eyes.

Only then did Zeon approach Zetoya and speak.

“Congratulations on your awakening.”

“I woke up?”

“Look at your wrist. You’ll see your rank insignia.”

“ah!”

Jetoya looked at his wrist in surprise.

The seven red stripes of his rank were clearly visible on his wrist.

Three of them were glowing.

It was evidence that he had awakened to the rank of a D-class martial artist.

Although no one but himself knew the details of his abilities, being a D-rank from the start meant that his starting point as an Awakened was so far superior that others could not keep up.

“I really became an Awakened One.”

Jetoya muttered with an expression of disbelief.

Brielle patted Jetoya on the shoulder.

“Congratulations! You’ve finally awakened.”

“Thank you! I’m still so dazed I don’t know what’s going on.”

“That’s right. Later, when you calmly observe yourself, you will be able to see your skills.”

“Skill?”

“Just because they’re all martial arts doesn’t mean they’re all the same. Each has their own unique skills. If you focus on yourself, you’ll naturally know which skills to use. Once you know your own skills, you have to practice and use them like crazy to increase your proficiency.”

“Okay, so proficiency is the key?”

“It would be better if you could hunt demons. The more you fight, the stronger you become quickly as a martial arts awakened being.”

“I will do that.”

Jetoya clenched his fist.

I felt a powerful force, as if I was holding the sun in my small fist.

It was an immense power that I had never dared to feel before.

‘With this power, I can protect them from other marauders.’

I felt the gaze of people looking at me.

It was a gaze where anticipation and fear coexisted.

Jetoya understood the hearts of such people.

Because he himself would have felt that way.

Even in the dirty underworld, Awokens continued to be born. However, as soon as many Awokens gained power, they began to treat people like slaves and treat them rudely.

That’s why I’m afraid that Jetoya will end up like that too.

If Jetoya, who had awakened to the rank of a martial artist, wanted to, he could use them like slaves.

But Jetoya had no such intentions.

I didn’t want to use my hard-earned strength to trample on others.

‘With this power, I will drive out those who disturb the underworld and bring peace.’

Jetoya looked at Zeon with a firm resolve.

A man who not only saved himself and his people, but also brought them a magic generator.

I may not know about other people on earth, but I could trust the man in front of me.

“I swear.”

“huh?”

“If my brother calls, I will put aside whatever happens and go up to the ground to help.”

“okay!”

“I will keep this oath even if it means risking my life.”

The young boy’s oath was firm.
