Ultimate State (1)

After the great victory over Japan, interest in Battlefield exploded in Korea.

In the meantime, Korea has been tired of Battlefield.

This is because they have never won a national competition, and the pro league is also mostly focused on management and defensive one-hit fights.

However, this match was aggressive and it was a great victory that almost slaughtered the opponent. Moreover, the opponent is Asia's strong rival, Japan, which Koreans hate very much.

With Seo Mun-yeop and Pietro, the anticipation that the Korean national team had finally risen to the ranks of the strong teams was realized.

The media started talking about the possibility of winning the World Cup already while playing gukppong.

After that, the qualifying rounds with Iran and Vietnam continued, but this time they won without Seo Mun-yeop and Pietro.

The only opponent left now is China.

There was no problem in passing the preliminaries, but expectations were high in the sense that it would determine which side was the strongest in Asia against China.

Korean fans raised their eyes high enough to say that they were competing for the top spot in Asia with China before they knew it.

The atmosphere was very wary on the Chinese side as they could not ignore Seo Moon-yeop and Pietro.

But whether it was or not, Seo Moon-yeop devoted himself to training at the personal training ground.

"Grunt!"

Seo Moon-yeop, who got up from exhaustion, started swinging the spear again with a heavy body.

I am used to the gravity that presses down on my body now.

Seo Moon-yeop enjoyed the pain as his muscle strength increased rapidly just by continuing to move against gravity.

-Target: Seo Mun-yeop (human)

-muscle strength 87/88

- Agility 98/99

- speed 80/81

- Endurance 93/94

-Spirit 110/111

-Skills 100/101

-Auror 102/103

-Leadership 100/101

- Tactics 100/101

-Psychic powers: analysis eye, throwing, immortality, amplification, soul conversion.

Strength increased by 2 from 85 to 87.

The strength of Chae-hyun, who was once the main team captain and the immovable main tank, is 88.

Now that I've become similar to him, I finally got the strength of a tanker.

'I didn't know that having strong muscles was so comfortable.'

During the match against Japan, there was a situation where I boosted my Strength to 95 and knocked down the opponent's tank in one blow.

At that time, I was even moved by the fact that I was able to lay down the opponent's tank so easily without any special technique. Is it that easy?

'How easy are guys like Gerald Walker to play?'

How easy was the game when there was no one to beat it if you just pushed it with force?

Of course, they also have their own struggles, but Seo Moon-yeop had no weaknesses, even in agility and skill, so it was a story about others.

'If you achieve 100 strength, then there will be no opponents at all.'

If Seo Moon-yeop, who is still the strongest, even reaches 100 in strength, then even comparable players will disappear.

Of course, Seo Moon-yeop was not satisfied with that.

His ultimate goal was not Battlefield.

You must prepare for the time when you fight the monster of prophecy that calls itself a king.

Seo Moon-yeop's standard was the emperor of Maninreung.

When he fought against the Emperor of Manlyung, he had a hard time even though he attacked with Pietro.

Even though he was undead, so he was far short of his original skills before he was alive.

'Didn't you say that you couldn't kill the monster of the prophecy and just kicked it out even before that amazing life?'

That was the problem.

Many years had passed, and the monster of the prophecy must have been stronger than it was then.

If that's the case, it means that at least the King of Maninleung in his lifetime has to be able to stand against him, but now Seo Munyeop can't win even the undead Emperor of Maninleung one-on-one.

'So, the first goal is to become stronger than the Undead Emperor Maninleung.'

At least to that extent, it seemed that the fight would be established.

Fortunately, there was hope.

Since the limits are gone thanks to 'Soul Transmutation', doesn't that mean that it can theoretically become infinitely stronger?

Once I raised my strength and endurance to 100, it was thought that I would be able to reach the level where I could compete one-on-one with the undead Maninleung Emperor.

In addition, there was one more ability that showed amazing growth.

come right away

The aura that had already exceeded 100 rose by 1 again to 102.

When the aura reached 102, something amazing happened.

Despite the device designed to extort mana, Seo Moon-yeop's aura did not budge.

Seo Moon-yeop's aura was firmly inside his body without any faltering, even if he didn't have to take care of it so as not to be taken away.

'Have you gotten used to it? It's a bit bland now. I'll have to ask them to increase the intensity.'

Now you don't have to be nervous to avoid being absorbed. For Seo Moon-yeop, who had been training with constant tension, he felt empty.

After using the Hearthstone, Seo Moon-yeop went back to find Pietro.

"Can you make the training ground a bit more intense?"

"Wouldn't that be enough?"

"Not enough."

Seo Moon-yeop said that his aura was no longer shaken.

After hearing the explanation, Pietro nodded.

"You have surpassed human limits."

"That's normal."

"No, I don't mean the amount of error."

"then?"

"It means that the ability to control auras has surpassed that of humans."

"is it?"

"The device that absorbs the aura was not created for nothing. It's a good training method to practice up to the basic level of controlling your aura. I thought that was enough since I'm only a human anyway, but he's growing faster than I thought."

"Somehow, the training effect was good. So, increase the intensity. Can I set it to absorb my aura more strongly?"

But at those words, Pietro shook his head.

"no use. It is a meaningless training method now."

"why?"

"It is the basic of the basics not to lose your aura to others. Even if you increase the intensity, your aura won't budge any more."

"Then how should I practice now?"

Pietro lifted a finger.

Pod!

A small magic circle that floats in the air in an instant.

Showing the magic circle, Pietro said.

"Do you think humans can do this?"

"Does that make sense? I can't even imitate it."

Humans had a limited use of Aurors.

Activate physical abilities, focus on weapons, or use them for psychic powers.

However, the underground person uses the aura in various ways even without psychic powers. He literally unleashes his own attack patterns as he touches them at will, like clay.

Of course, it was an impossible ability for humans.

After making the magic circle disappear, Pietro raised his index finger.

"Then how about this?"

Aura gathered on the index finger.

Draw a circle with your index finger.

The aura from the index finger maintained a circular shape.

"Can you?"

Seo Mun-yeop tilted his head, then raised his index finger and followed suit.

He radiated an aura through his index finger and drew a circle.

However, the aura was scattered as soon as it was extracted from the index finger.

It was a contrast to Pietro, who continued to maintain a circular shape in the air.

Seo Moon-yeop, who kept trying, shook his head.

"no. The aura dissipates as soon as it leaves the body."

"right. It cannot be imitated with human auror control."

A person's ability to control their auras was limited within their bodies.

While in contact with the body, the aura is maintained, but when separated from the body, the aura loses control and dissipates like smoke.

"But you're beyond human limits, so you can do it."

Pietro said while making several circles.

Seo Mun-yeop also tried, but was unsuccessful.

"Um, I guess not."

"I didn't think it would be possible to transform into a weapon, but you did it, right?"

"That's right."

"This is much easier than weapon spiritualization."

"Yeah, but it is."

Looking at Seo Moon-yeop, who kept trying but still couldn't get a feel for it, Pietro felt suspicious.

How did he achieve the realm of spiritualization when he could not reach this level?

'Isn't the level of spiritualization something to do with Aura?'

Even in the history of the underground civilization, only a few reached the level of spiritualization.

In order to reach that level, the person of the earth diligently polished his aura.

However, Seo Moon-yeop, whose aura control was only at a basic level, not only mastered the spiritual body transformation, but also achieved weapon spiritual transformation, which only the emperor of Maninleung could not do.

It seemed that the ultimate state was not obtained by polishing one's aura.

"How did you come to be able to become a spiritual person?"

Pietro was curious and asked.

"Um, well."

Seo Mun-yeop pondered and replied.

"Should I say that I have transcended death?"

"what?"

"I don't know either. There is no other way to explain it."

Since he amplified his immortality and became a spiritual body, it was not an incorrect explanation.

Pietro, not understanding, soon gave up.

"Anyway, the gravity of the training ground increases the intensity. But for aura control, practice drawing circles in the air now."

"Does this really work?"

"Aura control is fundamental to everything. Even when using the body and using weapons, it basically affects it, so it is definitely effective."

In doing so, Pietro personally renovated Seo Moon-yeop's personal training ground.

Gravity became stronger than before, and instead, the device that absorbed the aura disappeared. Since it no longer has any meaning, it has been removed so that it does not interfere with training.

Seo Moon-yeop felt thrilled as his body was pressed down by even stronger pressure.

"Oh, it's nice that it's heavy. It will be training."

Seo Moon-yeop quickly began to focus on training.

After leaving the training ground and returning to his lodgings, Pietro thought.

'I can't stay still either.'

Pietro also had to do something to become stronger.

Of course, there wasn't much training he could do.

My body was already at my limit, and my aura control was already at its peak, so I couldn't develop any further than this.

Pietro decided to hone his soul bonds.

Since he is a spirit, the weak part of the bond with the body can be a weakness, so he decided to supplement this part.

The best way to train the unity of the soul was to enter the spirit realm.

If you go too deep into the spirit realm, your bond with your body will be severed and you will wander forever. That's why only the priests were able to explore the spirit realm.

Pietro continued to roam the spirit realm, strengthening his solidarity and building relationships of trust with the spirits.

While wandering the spirit realm, Pietro suddenly remembered the king.

The king, who had failed in his attempt to capture himself, must have regretted it greatly by now.

Perhaps even now, in a deep corner of the spirit realm, she may be anxiously waiting for her to come see her again.

'Shall we go?'

If you only saw it in the spirit realm, there was nothing dangerous.

Now the king would not have any other thoughts.

depth.

deeper.

Pietro has advanced to a distant stage where no heroic spirits exist.

Then he came to a byway and met the king.

-You're here!

An honest feeling of joy came flooding in.

As expected, the king was anxiously waiting for him.

- I was afraid that he would never come again.

-I did that.

-know. I know. I won't do it again, so keep coming to see me.

-I don't know if you're being rude or being honest.

- It must be shameless. I'm not an honest person.

The king responded brazenly. I felt the joy of being reunited with Pietro.
