‘It isn’t a boss monster?’

This single attack allowed Hyeonu to realize that the giant wasn’t as strong as he thought it was .  A boss monster’s attack power would’ve smashed his pure energy, rather than deflect it .

‘I was scared for no reason . ’

Hyeonu felt pathetic for even having done a simulation in advance .  His heart was filled with anger toward the giant .

‘I’ll finish it at once . ’

He used the giant skill he didn’t need to use .

[Giant’s Power has been used . ]

[Your strength stat has increased . ]

Hyeonu’s strength rose to over 1,000 in an instant .  This led to Hyeonu’s damage increasing as well .  As Hyeonu was preparing for the attack, Tang-E’s skills struck the giant .  Lightning fell from the sky while an ice spear and fireball hit the giant from all sides .

“Kuaaaak!” The giant screamed in pain .  It was lightning with a B+ proficiency and 1,800 magic power .  There was also the C+ ranked Fire and Ice .  They showed a different power from the past, and it wasn’t just an increase in power .

[The ancient giant has been inflicted with the ‘electric shock’ abnormal state . ]

[The ancient giant has been afflicted with the ‘frozen’ abnormal state . ]

[The ancient giant has been afflicted with the ‘burned’ abnormal state . ]

There was also a high probability of causing abnormal conditions .  The giant slowed down and stopped moving for a short time .  It was impossible for Hyeonu to miss such a great opportunity .  Hyeonu gathered as much magic power as possible and inserted it into Dark Star .  Then he swung it at the giant, striking it with dozens of strong winds made of pure energy .

It was Mysterious Sky Range .  Dozens of black blades shredded the giant’s body, and blood burst out from it like a fountain .  The giant’s body collapsed helplessly .

[The ancient giant has been killed . ]

[Experience has been acquired . ]

Once again, the difference between a boss monster and a normal monster was great .  Normal monsters couldn’t handle Hyeonu’s damage after it was enhanced by various buffs .  Just then, Tang-E’s voice rang out from behind Hyeonu in an urgent tone, “Master dude!!”

“Eh?” Hyeonu naturally turned his head at Tang-E’s cry .  Hyeonu’s gaze s.h.i.+fted toward Tang-E who was gathering an enormous amount of magic power .  It was similar to Tang-E’s first awakening .  The only difference was that the current amount of magic power was superior .

[The second awakening has begun . ]

Seeing this, Hyeonu murmured in a small voice, “It is real . The second awakening . ”

In fact, Hyeonu hadn’t believed Tang-E’s words .  Tang-E had said the same thing over and over again, so Hyeonu thought it was the same this time .

‘I feel sorry toward Tang-E . . . Honestly, I wish he will gain more buff skills . ’

Bear’s Momentum and Forest’s Blessing were quite good .  However, a person’s greed was endless .  Hyeonu would rather Tang-E play the role of an all-rounder as opposed to a damage dealer .  In other words, he wanted Tang-E to maintain the role of six players .  Of course, the foundation was based on buffs .

‘I don’t want a lot . Just have one buff related to agility . ’

Two skills were gained from the first awakening .  That meant Tang-E would get at least two skills after the second awakening .  Hyeonu hoped that a buff skill would be one of them .  As Hyeonu prayed, Tang-E started to absorb the dense magic power around him .

Five minutes pa.s.sed .  The power being absorbed by Tang-E was noticeably reduced .  Simultaneously, a message appeared in front of Hyeonu to indicate that Tang-E’s awakening had ended .

[Stats have risen due to the second awakening . ]

[The second awakening has created skills . ]

[The strength stat has increased by 576 points . ]

[The agility stat has increased by 576 points . ]

[The physique stat has increased by 704 points . ]

[The magic power stat has increased by 1,238 points . ]

[Your pet ‘Tang-E’ has over 2,000 magic power, and a new skill has been created . ]

[Your pet ‘Tang-E’ has over 3,000 magic power, and a new skill has been created . ]

“Haah…!” An exclamation flowed out from Hyeonu’s mouth .  Only two skills had been created .  However, the insane rise in stats and the quality of the skills allowed Hyeonu to overlook that .  Although Burning Magic Power consumed additional magic power, it boosted the damage of Tang-E’s attacks .

‘Breath of the Wind . ’

For Hyeonu, this was the real skill .  This alone rewarded the hard work he and Tang-E put in to reach the second awakening .  The buff skill increased Hyeonu’s agility and movement speed .  Why did Hyeonu want this agility-related buff? It was due to the armor that Hyeonu was wearing .  Hyeonu’s current Wind Gorge set was level 200, but it was a bit lower than Hyeonu’s level .

He hadn’t changed it due to the Blink skill, but the stats increase was fairly low compared to the set items worn by other rankers .  Furthermore, the wind attribute was useless due to the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art .  Thus, he had to find a way to move fast enough to replace Blink, and he thought an agility buff would be the solution for that .  As agility increased, his movement speed would naturally increase as well .

“Good, good,” Hyeonu said in a satisfied manner and couldn’t help nodding .  Then someone pulled at his pants .

Hyeonu’s gaze naturally went down . “What is it?”

It was Tang-E .  After the awakening, Tang-E boasted entirely golden fur .  The blue fur of his tail and the red fur on his face had disappeared .

“It’s strange, strange . What should I do?” Tang-E was fidgety as he pulled at Hyeonu’s leg .  Tang-E’s current strength stat was quite high .  His high stats meant that Hyeonu shook helplessly like a reed swaying in the wind .

“Why? What’s the problem? What’s wrong?” 

In the end, Hyeonu couldn’t stand it and lifted Tang-E .  Tang-E looked up at Hyeonu with a crying face .

“Look at this . . . My feet . . . ” Tang-E said with a serious expression .

Then once he saw Tang-E’s paws, Hyeonu barely suppressed his laughter .

“The soles of my feet are red while my paws are blue . What should I do . . . Master . . . ” Tang-E didn’t use the t.i.tle of ‘Master dude . ’

Hyeonu eventually burst out laughing, “Kuhaha!”

Holding Tang-E in his arms, Hyeonu continued to laugh .

‘So cute . Making such a serious look just because of this . ’

Tang-E tapped Hyeonu’s chest, but he ignored it .

“Should I make you some gloves? It’s cute . Just leave it alone . n.o.body will say anything . ”

Hyeonu put Tang-E down and stroked his head .

‘This cute bear . . . ’

At Hyeonu’s words, Tang-E smiled brightly and stared at Hyeonu with huge eyes .

“Really? Master dude?”

“Yes . You’ve always been cute, Tang-E . ” 

“Cough . . .  I’m cute,” Tang-E coughed, and his shoulders broadened .  Hyeonu’s praise gave him a huge boost .

Hyeonu smiled at Tang-E and opened Tang-E’s status window .

‘Tang-E’s status window . ’

‘I have to treat him well . ’

This was what Hyeonu thought when he saw Tang-E’s status window .  Tang-E had brilliant stats and skills .  Yet, this wasn’t even Tang-E’s best condition .

‘There are still two essences . ’

Tang-E still had two essences left from the pet compet.i.tion .

‘If he’s lucky, he’ll get two skills . ’

No, it was good enough just for his stats to rise .  Based on Tang-E’s skills, it was enough to increase the stats .

‘All that is left is hunting . ’

Hyeonu noticed that it was easier to clear this dungeon .

“CEO Moon, hasn’t it been a while?”

“Thank you . I was wondering why you called me…?”

Park Jeonghyun smiled like he didn’t care about Moon Doyeong’s words . “If it is due to the last thing you talked to me about, you can stop . ”

“What do you mean?” Moon Doyeong c.o.c.ked his head at Park Jeonghyun’s words .

“I’ve prepared a gift . ”

“A gift? Thank you, Inspector Park, for the gift . . . ”

“Ilsung will lose Big Stars this time . Well, this isn’t something I did myself, but it is correct to say I don’t want to look behind me anymore . . . ”

In the past, the two companies that tried to acquire Big Stars were Ilsung Capital and Moon Doyeong’s Moon Capital .  Due to Ilsung’s quick lobbying, Moon Doyeong had stepped down from the acquisition .  

“Why are you telling me this?” Moon Doyeong asked .

Park Jeonghyun smiled .  “For your help . I’m asking you to help me bring down Ilsung . ”

Moon Doyeong wasn’t a fool, so he couldn’t be unaware of Park Jeonghyun’s intentions .  Additionally, Moon Doyeong was a maniac about Arena, so he had a great deal of interest regarding this incident .

“Then I will hide the players from Ilsung . In the meantime, Inspector Park should take care of the other things . After the management is handed over to the a.s.sociation, Big Stars will be given to me . . . ”

“Of course . Who will be in charge of Big Stars if not you?” Park Jeonghyun smiled and picked up a bottle of wine to pour a drink for Moon Doyeong .

“I will trust you this time . ”

“From this side, there is Han Jaeyeol, Kim Jinhwan . . . 10 people in total? Where’s the rest? Did they decide to go separately?”

Moon Doyeong ordered people to find the professional gamers of Big Stars one step ahead of Yoon Hyeongu .  Then he brought the players to his office .

“Who are you?” Kim Jinhwan wasn’t in a good mood because he had been forced to come here .  He looked at Moon Doyeong with vigilant eyes .

“I will soon be your boss,” Moon Doyeong said .  

Kim Jinhwan and the players exchanged looks .  They guessed what was going on .

“Isn’t Big Stars ruined? How did you become the boss?” Han Jaeyeol questioned .

Moon Doyeong answered straight away, “It won’t be ruined . It will be investigated . This is how it is . Additionally, you’re not quitting . Once I’m the boss, I will test you properly and reselect people . I will throw away the garbage, taking only the real players to prepare for the next league . Call the other kids as well . Tell them to come here . They will be hurt if they’re caught by the team’s side . ”

While speaking, he made eye contact with each player in turn .

“What do you want to eat? Chicken? Pizza?” Moon Doyeong asked as he waved a coupon book .  

“Chicken!” All the players picked the same thing .
