Chapter 207
Meeting Once Again
Sun Jo Woo was still immersed in his brutal training when his phone rang for what felt like the countless time.
He and Kyu continued exchanging merciless blows.
"Master... your phone."
"Ignore it. Let's keep going."
Both of them were drenched in sweat,
and blood was scattered throughout the training hall.
For an entire day,
their battle had not stopped for even a single moment,
not even to catch their breath.
At first,
they fought using magical power until both of them had completely exhausted it.
Then they switched to physical strength,
until that too was depleted.
And now...
all they had left were their skills,
their reflexes,
and pure instinct.
If someone had witnessed their fight at this moment,
they would have thought the two of them were merely playing around.
Their attacks were no longer powerful,
not even enough to kill a fly.
But the truly terrifying part...
was that those incredibly weak strikes
were aimed with deadly precision.
The neck.
The heart.
The eye.
The mouth.
The chest.
The spine.
The head.
Every vital point that meant death
was targeted without hesitation by both of them.
At the very last moment—
Kyu gathered every last bit of strength he had left,
every remaining drop of energy still flowing through his body,
and concentrated it all into his right hand.
Then he charged.
A single punch...
straight toward Sun Jo Woo's jaw.
Sun Jo Woo tried to dodge,
but his body no longer obeyed him.
The movement was impossible.
Kyu's fist slammed into his face.
Sun Jo Woo's body staggered violently,
and he truly began falling backward.
His body collapsed into what was almost a free fall,
while countless thoughts and possibilities raced through his mind.
And in that instant—
an instant that lasted only a fraction of a second—
a memory exploded within Sun Jo Woo's mind.
A memory of a battle he had once witnessed between two men who could only be described as monsters wearing human skin.
Eli.
Ainfer.
His brother.
Sun Jo Woo's companion.
The battle between the two had been unimaginably fierce.
It had lasted for nearly an entire day,
yet neither of them had taken a single step back.
Ainfer was still fighting.
He still possessed enough strength to continue battling for hours.
Meanwhile, Eli was unbelievably exhausted.
He had already reached his limit.
Yet even so,
he neither fell
nor retreated.
He continued fighting.
"Brother, Father says it's time for you to come."
At those words,
Ainfer briefly shifted his gaze away from Eli and looked behind him,
where his younger sister was standing.
At that very moment,
Eli moved.
This was his chance.
Finally.
He gathered every ounce of strength
and every bit of energy he had left,
then threw a punch at Ainfer's face—
specifically at his jaw.
It was only a single punch.
It wasn't particularly powerful,
and there wasn't even a loud impact.
Yet the damage...
was horrifying.
That punch was so unbelievably precise
that even Sun Jo Woo, who had merely been watching,
felt his entire body shiver.
The strike completely shook Ainfer's jaw,
transmitting all of its force directly into his skull,
causing his brain to violently tremble within it.
Ainfer's body shuddered
as he felt the world collapsing around him.
He began falling backward calmly and lightly,
while everyone around him widened their eyes in shock.
Shock—
because Ainfer had never fallen in his life.
And he would not fall that day either...
In that strange posture,
with his back nearly touching the ground
and his feet about to leave it completely,
Ainfer raised both arms toward the sky—
and grabbed.
He grabbed...
nothing?
Yes.
He grabbed nothing.
And squeezed with all his strength.
He pulled himself upward with overwhelming majesty,
like a king who had never known defeat or collapse.
"A dirty strike... Is this the limit of your martial arts, Eli?"
Ainfer asked,
his terrifyingly calm eyes fixed on Eli's.
...
Now Sun Jo Woo remembered that scene.
And now...
he too was falling backward.
Sun Jo Woo raised both of his arms toward the sky
and grabbed hold of nothing.
At that moment,
he felt as though he were grasping something solid,
something that would never bend or yield.
It was like gripping a perfectly straight wall of iron.
No matter how hard he tried to tighten his fingers around it,
he could not bend that iron.
But he remembered how Ainfer had not merely gripped it—
he had completely crushed it.
He had seized nothingness
as though it were a piece of cloth,
compressing it with an iron grip.
Sun Jo Woo understood.
He had not yet reached that level.
But those brief seconds,
which allowed him to regain his balance,
made all the difference.
He raised his right leg,
swung it with every ounce of will he had left,
and struck Kyu's jaw from his blind spot.
Both of them fell to the ground.
Silence filled the hall.
Then...
Sun Jo Woo smiled calmly as he lay on his back.
"You bastard...
We've been fighting for forty-four hours,
and you never backed down even once."
"Yes, Master."
Sun Jo Woo chuckled softly.
"'Yes, Master...'
Damn you, you're adapting to this world at a frightening speed."
He turned to him with a serious expression.
"Tell me...
Can you use your Dragon Transformation?"
"Yes... but—"
"But what?"
"There is no Spiritual Dragon race in this world.
Because of that, the Dragon Transformation doesn't draw its power from the race itself,
but from the world's energy."
Kyu paused briefly before continuing.
"Based on my understanding of this world,
I can be considered a Transformation-type Awakened.
However, I'm still far too weak to maintain it for long.
I can transform now...
but only for a few minutes."
Sun Jo Woo nodded in understanding.
"Good.
As I said, this world doesn't contain anything called the Dragon race.
But that doesn't mean you can't transform,
merge with it,
or even maintain it for a long time.
You can...
you're simply still too weak."
He looked at him steadily.
"So you need to train more...
and more...
until you can use it completely and at full strength."
"Understood, Master.
And thank you."
Then he added,
"Master... your phone is still ringing."
Sun Jo Woo sighed wearily.
"Damn...
Which idiot is calling at a time like this?"
He slowly forced himself to move,
then picked up the phone.
"Sung?
Is that you?"
"Sun Jo, listen.
The next raid will be soon,
but I'll be a little late."
"I'm heading to my sister's school now,
so wait for me, everyone."
Sun Jo Woo's mind froze for a moment.
*'Sung's sister's school...
Isn't that the same school where that damned More May
and that sissy Kai No attend?'*
More May and Kai No...
had once been Sun Jo Woo's friends.
More May...
his former girlfriend.
And Kai No...
the person he had considered his own brother.
Both of them were still attending school,
because they had money.
As for him...
he had been forced to quit,
because he had nothing.
He had started working as a Hunter.
Even after discovering that the two of them were dating,
he did nothing.
Even after More May left him for his "brother" because he had money...
he remained silent.
And worst of all—
they had tried to kill him inside the dungeon.
They poisoned him.
His veins exploded.
His heart was destroyed.
And his magical power core was shattered.
"Sung...
When are you heading to your sister's school?"
"In half an hour.
Why?"
"Wait for me.
I'm coming too."
He ended the call.
Sun Jo Woo quickly stood up,
took a shower,
and changed into clean clothes.
Then he got on the motorcycle he had bought earlier
and rode toward Sung's location.
"Get on."
"Since when did you own a motorcycle, Sun Jo?"
Sun Jo Woo simply smiled,
then drove off.
He was dressed in elegant black clothes,
and his sleek black motorcycle radiated luxury.
The two of them soon arrived at Sung Jin Woo's sister's school.
They entered.
The moment they stepped onto the campus—
heads began turning.
Everyone stared at them
as though they were world-famous celebrities.
Their clothes...
their faces...
everything about them was different.
But what truly stole everyone's breath—
was their aura.
An aura of power.
And dignity.
They looked...
like the kings of that place.
"Brother?
Is that really you?
And who's th—"
Sung Jin Woo's sister spoke in astonishment,
then turned to look at Sun Jo Woo.
Her cheeks immediately flushed red.
But what truly made her heart skip a beat—
was the gentle,
pure smile
that appeared on his face.
"It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm your brother's friend...
Sun Jo Woo."
"Sun Jo Woo?
Are you really Sun Jo Woo?"
"You know him?"
"Of course.
He's my classmate.
But the last thing I heard about you...
was that you left school to become a Hunter."
Sun Jo Woo smiled gently.
"Yes...
That's what happened."
The three of them walked forward,
while countless eyes continued following the two young men.
Some greeted them.
Others could do nothing but stare.
Then—
"S... Sun Jo Woo?
Is that... really you?"
Sun Jo Woo slowly turned around.
And he saw her.
More May.
She stood frozen in place behind him,
staring at him...
with eyes that simply could not believe what they were seeing.
