A striking example of magic engineering was âbody enchantâ, which could transfer item power into âtattoosâ engraved on oneâs body. It was a bit risky, but it was used in such a clever way.
âI heard that GMs could decipher its technology because it was that of human beings in the future. After all, this is great technology!â Hanho shouted.
To be more specific, they could have some control over ânanotechnologyâ by being able to modify the state of the nanobots in oneâs body to a limited extent.
âBut, itâs so hip that a native-born nerd like me feels a bit embarrassed to use itâ¦â
Hanho could use some of the effects of the âAsura Cloakâ through the tattoo engraved on his back. He scratched the tattoo on his back as if he was embarrassed. It seemed that this had nothing to do with the so-called cycle of the zodiac.
âTo put it simply, if you donât know about it, you are counterattacked like this, you idiots!â
When Hanho took one step closer to them, they took three steps backward.
âHeheheâ¦â
Watching them terrified by him, Hanho had the delusion that he became a tiger.
âBy the way, you must be the judge, right?â
ââ¦â Adrian didnât answer.
Hanho said, âGood for you! I was wondering if I had to chase you endlessly, but youâre here before me like this! Iâve got a windfall!â
As a key executive of The Originals, the judge probably knew lots of important secrets. Only then did Adrian realize that he was stabbed in the back by Hanho.
âDid you let yourself get caught to lure me from the beginning?â Adrian asked.
âOf course, but I didnât know you came out to me voluntarily like this!â
Adrina was embarrassed to hear that. He immediately took out a small wand from his pocket and aimed it at Hanho. At the same time, dozens of Original members drew their weapons.
âMan, calm down, friends! Shall we talk over popcorn?â
Hanhoâs fourth arm on the right held out a small bag of popcorn.
Given that the world tree was engraved on the bag, he must have bought it from a new theater in the eastern part of Asadal.
âWhere did you hide the popcorn?â
One member who had been searching for Hanhoâs body asked. He found it very strange that he could not find any popcorn.
âWell, itâs my secret. A top-secret.â
Hanhoâs face blushed as if he was embarrassed.
âShut up! Donât move! No matter how strong you are, you canât survive in this situation where your hands are bound!â
Then Hanho glanced around and scratched the back of his head with his third arm.
âHey, folks! Think about it a little more. Do you think I didnât prepare anything when I brought popcorn here secretly?â
Then his index finger on his second arm slowly lifted and pointed to his neck. There was a black birthmark there.
âCan you see this? This is not something like a blessed birthmark.â
Even that was âbody enchantmentâ. In other words, it was a tattoo with the effect of location tracking disguised as a costume.
At that moment there was an explosion.
Bang!
An explosion was heard from the ceiling, and the concrete and rebar collapsed. A pure white light burst through the hole and lit Hanho. The members of the Originals who were standing around covered their faces with their hands, then hurriedly retreated.
Woooooooo-
All of a sudden, four airships were floating in the sky over the abandoned factory, illuminating the area with dozens of searchlights.
âDescend! Descend! Descend!â
With a roaring shout, players in black jumped off.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
They rolled on the ground, and took their postures, then using a short-distance Teleport, they quickly closed the distance and attacked the Originals members. Thirteen members nearby who were standing nearby were instantly subdued.
âDonât move!â
But those who stood at a distance made the wrong choice.
âDamn it! Shoot!â
âSecure the way out!â
Pick! Pick! Pick! Pick! Pick! Pick!
As soon as they tried to resist my attack recklessly, I fired arrows at their eyes, necks, and hearts. All of a sudden, those armed with ârepeating crossbowsâ were occupying the upper floors of the abandoned factory and monitoring the entire interior.
âIf you donât want to die, donât move!â
âHow dare you try to resist?â
They were the special forces of the World Tree camp, namely, the 213th Squadron.
Their predecessor was the Special Commando Unit, which was made up of all elite players of level 20 or higher. They were known as the 3rd strongest army in the World Tree camp, so they could subdue almost all servers with a single operation alone.
Crunch! Crunch!
While crunching popcorn, Hanho leisurely walked through the mess to retrieve his stolen items and wear them back.
âThey are running away! Stop them!â
âCatch them! Capture them alive as much as you can!â
Meanwhile, the special forcesâ crackdown continued everywhere inside the abandoned factory. They subdued those escaping from the abandoned factory by freezing the entrance with freezing magic, with the airship illuminating them with a searchlight.
âDamn it!â
Adrian tried to escape from this place in a hurry, but Hanho was blocking his way.
âWait a moment. You told me you had a lot to talk about with me, right?â
âNo, Iâve got nothing to talk about with you. Just go away!â
âReally? Come to think of it, you have made me upset!â
Adrian raised his wand to be on guard against him. Even though he could not beat Hanho, he thought he could run away successfully.
Crunch! Crunch!
Hanho crunched popcorn with an annoyed expression.
âBy the way, why do you think we canât survive without the Necromancer?â
That was Adrianâs big miscalculation. The World Tree camp that grew up with the Necromancer and developed under his protection was stronger than they thought.
âAs for me, Iâm a pretty mighty man! My level is a whopping 40, and Iâm the 3rd strongest on the Korean server rankings! Iâm not weak enough for you to look down on me! And my level gap with the Necromancer is only 19!â
Hanho raised his head and roared like a Pomeranian who never gave in even among large dogs. In other words, he vented his frustration like that because he finally obtained the title of a hero after he had been sandwiched between Sungwoo and Jisu for a long time.
At that moment somebody threw cold water over his eloquent speech.
âNo, you are wrong.â
âUgh?â
âIâm sorry, but your level gap is 20!â Inho cut in.
He suddenly appeared in the abandoned factory. While approaching Hanho, he shot something at Adrian.
Puck!
A net spread and covered Adrian, which spread an electric current to electrocute him.
âArghâ¦â
âUh-huhâ¦.â
Hanho didnât even look at him.
âOh, brother Inho, when did you come? And what did you say?â
âYour level gap with Sungwoo is back to 20. Look!â
Shaking his head, he threw the phone at Hanho.
Hanho received it with his third left arm.
âReally?â

âWhat the heck!â
Sungwoo leveled up again before Hanho knew it. His level was 59 this morning, but he leveled up again in several hours!
Level 60 was unprecedented.
Given that there are no players above level 50 in the whole world except him, itâs even impossible to imagine how high level 60 is.
âMan, how has he reached level 60? He has gone into hiding to level up secretly? I wish he had taken me with him.â
