Episode 153. Magic power recovery speed increased by 5 times!
“Master. What are you thinking about?”

“Just. What I talked about with Metheus.”

On the way home with Yuseol-ah.

My head was very complicated.

The biggest reason was this.

‘I’m being turned into a dragon?’

Metheus said that he might not be the last of the dragon tribe.

It was obvious what this meant.

Another dragon race may emerge.

And the one he was thinking of was me, not someone else.

“Seol-ah.”

“yes.”

“What if I were not human?”

“Uh…what race specifically?”

“Well. Maybe a dragon?”

I asked Yuseol Ah some questions to sort out her complicated thoughts.

Certainly, it was nice not having to engage in pointless arguments with her as a guardian.

“Doesn’t it matter?”

“doesn’t care?”

“Yes. Unless your personality changes completely, as if you were a different person?”

“hmm….”

That was true.

Just because your body turns into a dragon doesn’t mean your personality will change.

only.

‘It’s not just the dragon’s good points that you get.’

I thought the power called “Dragon Body” was something that simply increased physical specs, but I just found out that it wasn’t.

still.

“Thanks for the answer.”

“Yes! Hehe.”

The resistance to not being human was resolved thanks to Yoo Seol-ah.

Having a steadfast supporter is a huge help in times like these.

【I am!?】

“Frill. You’re not human.”

【still!】

“What I meant was, you can’t ask about not being human.”

【so?】

“… It helps. A lot.”

【Hoo hoo hoo hoo.】

Frill looked pretty happy.

Certainly the Guardians are greatly influenced by me.

anyway.

‘Yeah. It’s not a bad thing for a race to become a dragon. After all, your physical abilities will become stronger.’

So I organized my thoughts like that.

‘I heard a lot of stories I didn’t know.’

I recalled the conversation I had with Metheus.

* * *

“An alliance… I see. To be honest, I was trying to find a way to coexist with Gaia, but things are different now.”

Metheus willingly agreed to lend me his strength.

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Someone who might become one of my kind is asking me for something, so I should listen.”

He laughed heartily.

It was a sight never seen before.

‘Well, is it okay?’

Anyway, it was clear that I was one step closer to my revenge.

and.

“If I break the non-aggression pact, I will incur a penalty.”

“Penalty?”

“That’s right. That non-aggression pact isn’t simple.”

“What exactly?”

“Don’t let your strength weaken.”

Although I have managed to get Metheus on my side, he is not showing off his might like he does now.

It was a pity, but I was satisfied.

‘Because Metheus is the magic tower.’

Because his symbolic meaning was greater than the power he possessed.

In addition to being able to utilize the power of the ‘Matap’, the biggest gain was that it provided a foundation for exposing the ugly side of the Gaia Cult.

Afterwards, I was able to get information from Metheus on some things I was curious about.

“El Gaia is a god.”

First, the identity of ‘El Gaia’, the founder of the Gaia Cult.

“Weren’t you human?”

“He is a god, hidden on Earth. He is the one who fought our dragons on the continent of Repos.”

“You must be strong.”

“Of course. Unlike me, who became extremely weak after crossing dimensions, he seems to have lost almost no strength.”

“……hmm.”

As I drooled, Metheus laughed.

“What do you think? Do you still feel like taking revenge after hearing this?”

“I will do that even if it means dying.”

Revenge will be exacted.

Even if there is a high chance of failure.

Even if you can’t see the road at all.

There is no giving up.

“Well, it’s not like there’s no way.”

“which…?”

And Metheus showed me a way.

“Get stronger.”

“… .”

What kind of obvious thing is that?

“Become stronger and gain more dragon powers.”

What is this, such an obvious thing?

“I will help you.”

What is this… it was a nice thing to hear.

Because it will allow you to get stronger at a faster rate.

When I said my thanks, Metheus was the first to extend a helping hand to me.

“First, I’ll upgrade the system.”

“The system?”

“Yes. All the systems used by the Earth Awakened are popular versions of the ‘Metheus System’ that I created.”

“oh.”

Metheus came up with new information and a plan to upgrade my power.

“If you upgrade this to the real ‘Metheus System’ that I use, you’ll be able to get much more detailed information. You’ll be able to read more item information, and you’ll be able to understand the stats in a bit more detail.”

A voice that seems quite proud.

but.

“hmm.”

“But why?”

“that is….”

I thought about it for a moment.

Can I talk about the “Tenauses System”?

The worry didn’t last long.

‘I was going to ask Metheus about the dragon’s power anyway.’

Since he had already shown his favor first, there was no need to keep all the information under wraps.

“Do you know about the ‘Tenauses System’?”

“… The Tenaujes System? What is that? I’ve never heard of it before.”

I gave a brief explanation.

“Wh, what the… What the heck! You were using that kind of system!?”

“yes.”

“Ha! Judging from the name, it looks like it was made by Lord, but he made something ridiculous.”

“Is it better than the Metheus system?”

“… … I’m angry, but that’s how it is.”

Unfortunately, what I already had was better than what Metheus was trying to give me.

It seemed like he didn’t know as much about the “Tenauses System” as he thought.

Ugh.

“Instead! I’ll give you access to a special space-time!”

“A special time and space?”

uh.

This also feels somehow familiar.

“That’s right! It’s a special training ground, where our species uses 50 times more time to train─”

“Oh, there’s that.”

“… What!?”

“It was added as an auxiliary to the ‘Tenauzes System’.”

“… … .”

“Even 100 times more.”

“… … .”

Unfortunately, Metheus’s kindness was in vain.

“Huh. Then how about this!”

Eventually he came up with one skill core.

“Can you also make skill cores?”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“That’s not it. The skill and item were originally on the continent of Repos. This is just a good skill!”

If it’s a skill, then there’s a high chance that it will help me.

“I see. Then I will check.”

“Haha. This will definitely help!”

Encouraged by Metheus’ strong confidence, I also checked the skill core with anticipation.

《 Rapid Magic Charge – Skill, Legend 》

– Magic power recovery speed is increased by 5x!

“What do you think!? Isn’t this an incredible skill? Simple but powerful! It’s a legendary skill!”

Legend rank.

A skill that increases the speed of magic recovery by 5 times.

Indeed, it was worth Metheus to make such a fuss.

‘… That would be nice. Usually.’

but.

Well, for someone with the “Excessive Magic Power” trait,

‘Of course it’s not bad, but to that extent?’

Rather than this, a unique skill like “Earth Strike” would be more useful.

And as if he had read my expression, Metheus asked back with an anxious expression.

“… Is there a problem?”

“… No. It’s good.”

“But why…?”

“Because my characteristics are better.”

“… … .”

Metheus was speechless.

“… … No, what on earth do you have that you have so much of? What kind of traits do you have?”

This too, I decided to just say it.

We decided that there was a greater benefit to be gained from sharing information.

“It’s called ‘excessive magic power.’”

He said that it was a trait that gave me an incredible magic recovery speed.

However, Metheus’ reaction to him was unexpected.

“Wh, what!? What, what was the number just now…?”

“100 times. When the magic power is low, it can go up to 1,000 times.”

It tells you about the increase in magic power recovery speed of “Magic Excess”.

“… … Ha! You really… … .”

Metheus looked at me as if he had seen me again and muttered.

I waited for him to speak, but he said nothing more.

hmm.

‘But why on earth are you surprised by this?’

I didn’t quite understand.

So I asked.

“If Metheus introduced the system to Earth, wouldn’t he also know about its unique characteristics?”

“… That’s not necessarily true. I didn’t give you your unique traits.”

“sure?”

“It merely helps to unleash the potential engraved in the soul of the Awakened.”

“ah.”

Let’s summarize.

It was Metheus who created the system that allowed Earthlings to adapt to magic.

But their ‘unique characteristics’ are their own, engraved in their souls.

therefore….

“Are you saying that the talent I have that has manifested into a trait called ‘excessive magic power’?”

“You could say that too.”

I was born with an incredible talent for magic from the beginning.

Metheus continued.

“Perhaps that’s why I’m accepting the dragon’s power without much trouble… ”

Maybe it’s because of that talent that I’m able to gain power so smoothly.

Well, honestly, it wasn’t that important.

“Anyway, there’s a high probability that I’ll be able to get revenge, right?”

“Yes. Since you have such great talent, the heights you can climb to are quite high.”

“Good.”

In the end, what mattered was revenge.

So, I ended the conversation by obtaining some information and receiving the “Rapid Magic Charge” skill from Metheus.

* * *

I observed the magical power within my body.

‘Hmm. Thanks to that, the magical power that was already overflowing has become even more overflowing.’

In addition to “excessive magic power,” there is also “rapid magic power charging.”

My magic power recovery speed was a whopping 500 times faster than before.

‘If it was a compound operation, it would have been really useless.’

Fortunately, the two were multiplicative.

Well, since my body never felt a lack of magical power, I didn’t really feel much of a difference in my actual fighting prowess.

Just using “One Punch” would produce much more destructive power, right?

anyway.

“Master, what’s your next goal?”

Yuseol-ah asked me a question.

“I became a 6-star wizard and even met Lord Metheus!”

“That’s right.”

I gained a lot thanks to Yuseol Ah reaching 6 stars.

From “Polymorph” to “Rapid Magic Charge” to the alliance called Magic Tower.

Because of that, I thought you were asking me to compliment you.

“Please tell me what I should do next.”

No it wasn’t.

What should I do to get my revenge?

An attitude that seems to just ask you to do something.

Here, he explained.

“I will steal the holy relic.”

“Ah! That thing that the Gaia Church said was given as an oracle?”

“okay.”

The sacred relic of the Gaia Church that was supposed to appear in Incheon.

‘It’s not a real relic, but it’s more like a relic.’

The time was approaching to undertake the operation to seize it.

“great!”

“It won’t be easy.”

The Order of the Knights and Priests of the Church are powerful.

It goes without saying that the two even produce synergy.

So I planned it out pretty thoroughly… .

“There is one problem.”

However, there was still one loophole in the plan that had not been resolved.

“What is it?”

“Since we don’t know exactly where in Incheon the relic will appear, we have to tail the religious sect in advance.”

“Can’t you just do it?”

“well.”

This is not that simple.

The ones carrying out this operation are me and the suicide squad members, including Geum Yu-gang.

They are trustworthy enough to be deployed on a tailing mission, but… .

“If we get caught and face ‘Judgment’, our information could be leaked.”

“ah…!”

The fraudulent ability called “Judgment” used by the Gaia Church was enough to turn that trust into nothing in an instant.

“Then shouldn’t I go?”

Then, Yoo Seol-ah asked.

I thought it would be okay if I knew that I could never betray him because I was a Guardian.

“no.”

But I shook my head.

“If that’s the case, I’ll go myself.”

She was exposed to too much time with me.

The risk was too great.

It was only later that I became openly hostile to the Gaia Church.

“Then─”

“Oh, bro! You’re here? Seol-ah’s here too.”

At that moment, someone called out to us.

“Yoon Ji-ho.”

It was Yoon Ji-ho who I ran into in front of the house where I had already arrived.

“Huh…? Hyung. But why are you looking at me like that?”

“Jiho.”

“……yes.”

There was no choice.

In this situation, there was only one person who met all the conditions.

A person who will never betray me, and who will not be overly exposed to my contact.

“I have a difficult favor to ask of you.”

I decided to assign the tailing mission to Yoon Ji-ho.

Even if he is reluctant, there is nothing we can do.

This time, by using the compulsory nature of the “Guardian Contract”─

“Okay! Do I finally have something to do!?”

“… .”

Yoon Ji-ho accepted my request before I could finish speaking.

I didn’t even hear what the hard work was.

【Wow! You know even without me saying it?】
