597 – Sauna

The second blessing bestowed upon me an incredible power.

It was a wondrous ability, but I decided to analyze it without getting too excited.

‘Time hasn’t stopped; it’s just slowed down to the point where it feels like it has.’

The debris caused by the rampaging troll was moving ever so slightly.

It was slower than the pace of a snail, so much so that I could count the pebbles that bounced if I set my mind to it.

The world, which was already flowing slowly, now flowed even more slowly.

However, the true value of the ability was not some sort of slow motion.

‘My body feels so free.’

Normally, a slow-motion ability would have affected me as well.

Of course, I could think and move faster than others, but my body still felt constrained compared to usual.

But what was this situation where my body moved freely?

To be able to move this quickly in a slow world could be considered the realm of a superhuman.

‘I want to test my ability.’

I turned my head and surveyed the troll.

Before the slow-motion ability was activated, the leg it had raised to rampage was still in the air.

‘For now…’

As I was about to shoot an arrow at it, I suddenly realized something.

Speed equals power.

Though my strength was weak, wouldn’t a punch thrown at this speed be incredibly strong?

What if my hand just ended up hurting?

“……”

I hesitated for a moment, but the fear of possibly hurting my hand couldn’t stop me from conducting the experiment.

I dashed towards the troll and threw a punch.

Bang bang bang bang-!

I attacked the troll’s thigh indiscriminately.

And then I had no choice but to regret it.

I hadn’t realized it when shooting the arrow, but the troll’s leg was much tougher than I had imagined.

“Nyaaah.”

I clutched my sore fist and ran towards where my family was.

Then, even though I hadn’t moved my Mana, my ability naturally ended.

“Ugh, wow…”

As I rubbed my aching fist, the troll flew far away with a tremendous boom.

It soared through the air like a home run ball, and my eyes widened in surprise.

“Wow… Saebyeok is amazing.”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t Saebyeok the one who sent the troll flying?”

“I didn’t do it!”

Saebyeok glanced sideways.

Ravi was looking at her with a worried expression.

“Gyeoul, are you okay? Why did you suddenly collapse?”

“Well, I tried hitting the troll, but it was tougher than I thought…”

I rubbed my fist and recalled what Ensia had said about Ravi being quite strong.

Ravi had become strong enough to treat the troll like a baseball.

Just as I was surprised to see Ravi, Ravi was also surprised to see me.

“Huh? When did you attack the troll?”

“I just ran up and hit it.”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh-

I mimicked throwing punches into the air.

At that moment, Levinas puffed out his chest beside me.

“Our Wang is super fast! With a whoosh, he’s invisible!”

“Magical!”

“Wow, is it that much?”

Ravi made an exaggerated surprised expression as he looked at me.

Perhaps feeling envious that my expression reached him, Levinas took out a soap bubble necklace.

“Mom! Can Levinas do something amazing like Wang?”

“Wow, really?”

“Gaeul! Gaeul too!”

Did he want to show off to Ravi?

The kids moved even more energetically than usual.

Bang-! Crash-!

The usually quiet Haneul was firing beams wildly, and Saebyeok was kicking the troll, turning it into a star in the sky.

Bom also used Black Mana to turn the troll into a frog.

“Wow.”

Our kids, who had entered serious mode, were surprisingly strong.

The monster, the troll, was pitiful.

“Everyone is amazing.”

Though it was a fierce sight, Ravi was only delighted.

He must have realized how happy Levinas was.

From now on, I decided to show Ravi plenty of happy moments with Levinas.

After finishing the hunt, we returned to the guild.

As we were about to enter the guild building, a man standing at the front caught my eye.

The man was a Horned Rabbit Beastman.

We hadn’t exchanged words, but I instinctively sensed who he was.

“Appa! Appa!”

Levinas hopped towards him.

We watched their reunion from a distance.

“Levinas…!”

Unlike him, who bit his lip and closed his eyes, Levinas was just smiling happily.

It seemed he had already experienced a reunion through Ravi and knew that his father had come along.

“Levinas has grown so brave!”

“Yup! Levinas is brave!”

Seeing Levinas reunited with his family made me think.

If everyone was to live together, we needed to move right away.

Since it was the same building, it seemed we could slowly move essential items first.

“Did Appa miss Levinas a lot?”

“Of course. Not a day went by without thinking of Levinas.”

“Wow.”

Even Dad and Mom.

Levinas, who had joyfully reunited with his family, began to share the stories he had been holding back.

The main topic was how wonderful his adventures had been.

“So Levinas went bam! and hit it…!”

It seemed the conversation would continue for a long time.

There was no need to interrupt.

I left Levinas to his chatter and took the kids to our new home.

“Kids, this is our new house now.”

“What?!”

“Wow…! It’s so spacious…!”

It was a house with hidden spaces in a duplex.

The kids spread out throughout the house as if exploring a secret base.

“Hey, everyone, look here!”

Bom went up to the second floor and waved at us from above.

It was no surprise that there was an upper floor in the house.

“Is it warm, like Wang?”

“Yup. I think so.”

With cheerful smiles, we arrived at the sauna building.

The moment Sophia opened the sauna door, we all had to stop in our tracks.

The heat emanating from inside was overwhelming.

“Chuin?”

Gaeul pointed inside the sauna.

She was silently asking if it was really okay to go in.

When I cautiously nodded, Gaeul, with her eyebrows furrowed, dashed into the sauna.

“Yikes!”

Gaeul ran out almost immediately, unable to withstand even a second.

“No way.”

Gaeul shook her head quickly, but her spinning head couldn’t stop.

It seemed the temperature was too much for her to handle.
