I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 29
Episode 029
“Wow.”
I took a deep breath and controlled my bloating stomach.
Seo Ji-han, standing next to him, clicked his tongue with eyes that seemed to see something foolish.
– [I should say it’s amazing…
I want to say something in response, but it’s hard to answer because my throat is full of Kergis’ horns.
The last two weeks have been really difficult.
I usually ate it with other foods, but I ate it really hard, using food that was small in size and strong in taste, to eat as many Kergis horns as possible.
I thought it would be okay to just give up and go on a trip and eat the horn slowly, but I didn’t feel like it because it felt like I was leaving my homework behind and going out to play.
I also wanted to acquire the skills quickly.
After being caught in a dungeon twice, I wanted to have at least one skill that I could use to protect myself no matter what.
Perhaps because I was traumatized by being caught in an irregular crack, I haven’t been able to sleep deeply since then.
Seo Ji-han said that it felt like I was having a nightmare.
Even though I had an escape stone on me, I didn’t feel safe.
Could it be that I get caught in another irregular crack while I’m sleeping and am attacked without my knowledge?
That feeling of anxiety did not go away.
I didn’t want to go on my first family trip with such an anxious and heavy heart, so I really wanted to have skills before the trip started.
“Now this is the last bite.”
Right now, in the plane’s bathroom, I was panting and eating a piece of Kergis’ horn.
Every time I felt like I could digest a little, I diligently went to the bathroom to eat, and Seungju thought I had an upset stomach today.
But thanks to that, now only one piece of Kergis’ horn remains, the size of a pebble.
I really can’t believe it either.
I ate such a large chunk in less than a month.
If a person works really hard, they can do anything.
“It’s finally over.”
With an overwhelming feeling, I threw the last piece of the horn into my mouth, chewed it a little, and swallowed it, when a notification message appeared before my eyes.
Completed the consumption of King Kergis’ horn.
When you consume the horn of King Kergis, the power of the King Kergis is passed on to you.
The S-class skill 〈Chungwang Cannon〉(Active) has been released.)
The S-class skill 〈Chungwang Thunderstorm〉(Active) has been released.
Magical abilities have improved.
For a moment, it felt like electricity went through my body, and then my stomach started to glow faintly.
I feel like a bit of a firefly.
Rather, there is something else that needs to be checked.
I quickly opened the status window.
-Abilities-
Strength 0+10 (+10 Lapis Lazuli Ring of the Apocalypse)
Magic Power 25
When first awakened, the abilities that were in the ‘no ability bonus’ state were filled like this.
-Skill-
F-Class 〈Gathering〉 (Active)
Hidden 〈It wasn’t there, but it was there〉 (Passive)
S-Class 〈Chungwang Cannon〉 (Active)
S-Class 〈Chungwang Thunderstorm〉 (Active)
I covered my mouth in shock.
I can’t believe my status window, which was blank, now looks like an awakened person.
Seo Ji-han must have misunderstood my appearance and spoke urgently.
– You can’t throw up.
“I don’t.”
When I glanced at Seo Ji-han, he looked the other way.
It seemed like he had completely adapted to life as a ghost, as he passed through the narrow airplane bathroom door and only showed his face.
In the past, I found it awkward to even walk through walls.
“It arose from the flowering of magical abilities.”
When I reported to him to get advice, Seo Ji-han became interested.
– How much?
“25 yo.”
Is it high or low?
The 10 strength obtained from the Lapis Lazuli Ring of the Apocalypse was very useful, so wouldn’t 25 magic power be a low number?
However, despite these expectations, Seo Ji-han’s reaction was ambiguous.
– Uhm.
“why?”
– I think I barely got enough corrections to be able to use the skill.
“Does that mean I can still use it?”
– okay.
“thank god.”
When he ate Kergis’ horn, he talked about his magic power.
Because of that, I was worried what would happen if I ate all the horns and couldn’t use my skills.
I was very relieved that it wasn’t that bad.
Knock knock.
I guess I was in the bathroom too long.
There was someone knocking outside the door.
– He looks like he’s in a hurry, so I’d better leave quickly.
Seo Ji-han gave me useless information.
When I went out, I saw a really dark-looking passenger standing there fidgeting, and as soon as I got out, he quickly ran into the bathroom.
I probably endured it quite a bit.
sorry. I did not know.
As I return to my seat, Seungju gives me a worried look.
I gave a cursory response to the question with my mouth saying, ‘Are you okay?’ and buried myself in the airplane seat.
It’s now 1 hour to Guam.
In the meantime, I will digest Kergis’ horn as much as possible and have a sumptuous first meal in Guam.
* * *
The plane arrived safely at Guam Airport without any accidents.
The sunlight pouring down the airport hallway was dazzling.
Even the scent of flowers seemed to be mixed in with the warm breeze blowing.
It was such a wonderful feeling that my heart naturally got excited.
Not only me but my whole family seemed very excited.
Seungju was humming loudly, and her mother looked around the airport, looking unfamiliar but happy at the foreigners everywhere.
“I’m so excited.”
Seungju was still walking down the airport corridor, but she was stomping her feet and laughing out loud.
I’m glad this person is human.
If it were a dog, it would have already sprinted to the end of the hallway.
Then it must have been a bit difficult to catch it.
“I know. “I’m looking forward to it.”
“Did you take a picture on the plane?”
“Yes. A picture of clouds.”
“I couldn’t take a picture. Mom was looking outside the entire flight.”
Unlike Seung-ju, who was so excited and didn’t know what to do, Seo Ji-han was looking around with a slightly bored expression.
If you’re number 1 in the rankings, you’ve probably been to a lot of overseas places, so something like this might not be exciting.
“But where should I go?”
– Go straight along this hallway. You can pick up your bag after completing immigration procedures.
I was asking Seung-ju, but unexpectedly, Seo Ji-han answered.
Even when leaving the country, there were a lot of terms and procedures I didn’t know, but every time, he would step forward and explain them to me. To be honest, it was
very helpful . Reliable.
“Thank you.”
– Not much to say.
When I said a small thank you, he answered calmly without even looking at me. His
eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, briefly glanced indifferently at the airport hallway and wall, watching the procession of people entering the country.
“I think that’s the immigration line. ”
When Seo Ji-han pointed in the direction given, Seung-ju nodded,
“Okay, but the line is a bit long. I’m going to use the restroom in the hallway here. I’m doing it with my mom first. I’ll wait and cum.”
“Well, go out and see.”
Before getting off, I gulped down the free drinks on the plane, thinking they were amazing. I ended up needing to go to the bathroom.
I waved my hand at Seungju, who ran away without thinking.
“Mom, let’s go. You can go here and go through immigration.”
“Oh yeah.”
Mom looked a little dazed because everything was unfamiliar to her.
But for a moment, she became friendly with a woman of her age whom she met in the immigration line, and in an instant, she started talking to each other and getting information about the local area. This
is great social skills.
“Gather. Mi-sook here.” “You must try lobster.”
Even though we just met, it’s very natural to call her sister.
Mom, isn’t this someone you used to know? This is someone you just dated, right?
“Yeah, I was going to eat that anyway. Ah, Mom, it’s your turn. Go over there.”
I responded roughly and sent my mom to the immigration counter first.
Then, I took out the pocket Wi-Fi from my bag, checked the paper, and waited for my turn.
When I finally finished the immigration process and came out, my mom, who was sitting on the chair, quickly raised her hand.
Next to me, I just did it. The woman I was dating, Mi-suk, was also there.
“Mi-sook lives here and she gave me a ride to our hotel.”
“Is it your daughter? “Aw, it’s so round and cute.”
“thank you.”
As I bowed my head at the compliment, I was deeply impressed.
Judging from the clear expressions I heard earlier, it was clear that she was dating someone here, but I couldn’t believe we became friends so quickly.
Mrs. Mi-sook was a plump and good-looking person.
She was stylishly groomed . One person with her hair up in a bun gave off the vibe that she might be working in the fashion industry. As
if my guess was correct, the lady said she was working as a hairdresser in Guam.
While the two were chatting, I stared across the screening table.
Why Son Seung-ju? Does it take this long?
Is it really that big?
Make sure you empty your stomach before you eat it…
I thought carefree and blankly watched the people passing by.
How long had it been? Just
as I was getting used to the unfamiliar scenery, I heard a sound that was annoying.
Chair . Seo Ji-han, who was sitting on the floor resting his chin, suddenly stood up.
We stared across the immigration hall at the same time.
The sound that bothered me was someone screaming. A
middle-aged man who was looking at the runway through the airport hallway window was yelling and yelling. There was.
The people whose eyes were drawn to the sound also began to scream in succession.
The judging room quickly became filled with screams.
“What is it?”
It was hard to tell what was happening because we couldn’t see the runway from where we were sitting.
But I had a very bad feeling.
Heart pounding with anxiety, I took a step toward the immigration counter.
Someone grabbed my arm. Got it.
“Should I collect it?”
It was the mother with a very anxious face.
“Mom, wait a minute. I’ll just come and see what’s going on.”
“Where are you going?”
“You have to see the situation before you can react. I’ll be back in a moment.”
Even though I said that, my mother remained steadfast.
She, too, may have instinctively sensed something ominous.
In fact, if I tried to approach the place where people were screaming and clamoring to get away, I would have stopped them as well. Still, I had to
go and check.
That’s how I did it . I had a feeling that I was going to do it.
At that moment, my vision suddenly became distorted.
Kwaang!
