20. Does this work?

I looked at his shining hands.

‘Mana burn.’

This was also the technique that the warrior and I showed at the restaurant the other day.

It was a technique that produced bright light by burning mana.

Of course, it wasn’t just bright.

Then it made no sense.

Along with the bright light, the user gains one ability.

There were a total of 7 abilities, and I roughly knew about his abilities.

‘Maybe he has strengthening abilities.’

It could be seen as the ability to strengthen a desired object. It was also an ability that most 2nd Awakenings had.

Because of that ability, he was given the name Iron Fist.

Soon he took a stance as if he were boxing.

Hwiik-!!

Hwiik-!!

He then showed off his brilliant punching skills.

Then surprisingly.

It’s so scary-!!

It’s so scary-!!

The lightning spheres were all shattered in front of his fist.

Moreover, there was no damage to the fist. He definitely looked like a second awakened person.

“Haha! What is it like? Isn’t it cool?! This is manliness!!”

He shook his fist and shouted loudly. It was like seeing a dwarf boxer.

“It’s definitely not easy for the second awakener.”

“Haha! Isn’t it obvious? But you’re amazing too. A War Mage has that kind of skill… Someone would think he was a great mage like Constantine.”

I didn’t answer what he said.

And soon the next magic was prepared.

‘It won’t work with ordinary firepower.’

I thought about the strongest firepower I could produce.

‘Explosion.’

It was a magic that created a huge explosion where desired.

Of course it was intermediate magic. However, it was the highest level of intermediate magic. Is this almost advanced magic?

And I was able to use that magic without chanting.

Soon my hands were shining brightly.

And surprisingly.

“Heh…!!”

Kwaaa-!!

A huge explosion occurred right in front of him.

“Aaaa!!”

“Aaagh!”

“Wow!”

The woman at the desk and all the guards lying face down were blown away. It was such an enormous destructive force.

And it didn’t end there.

I continued to fire magic in succession.

Kwahiah Ahhhh!

Kwahiah Ahhhh!

Kwahiah Ahhhh!

Of course, it was something that a normal wizard couldn’t do. This was possible thanks to the combination of my overflowing mana and outstanding skills.

‘I guess this is enough.’

I fired roughly 10 Explosion shots.

Whoosh.

The walls on the first floor had completely collapsed.

“Aaagh! Please save me!!”

“Oh, what should I do!”

“Bye, the wall collapsed!!”

I could see the prostitutes inside. Everyone was naked, but they were busy covering themselves.

Perhaps there was a bathhouse on the side that collapsed.

But I was quickly impressed.

It was not the expression of a man who had seen a naked body at all.

This was because, through the smoke, the presence of a dwarf was felt.

Soon the dust cleared and a disfigured dwarf appeared. However, other than the clothes, he looked quite fine.

“Cough. Cough. That’s amazing. amazing. no way? He’s not really a great wizard, right?”

Surprisingly, it withstood my 10-shot Explosion.

It looked unbelievable.

Of course, my fist was stained bright red. It seemed like everything had been hit with a fist.

‘That’s amazing. ‘Iron Fist.’

It wasn’t for nothing that he made a name for himself in the dwarven world.

I looked slightly troubled.

I didn’t know if I would have to use the sword if this continued. And he will recognize my identity as soon as I use the sword.

‘Do I have no choice but to kill him?’

Killing an academy student was quite risky. Moreover, the other person was a famous person. Perhaps, an investigation team will be dispatched from within the kingdom.

‘Tsk, if this happens, a lot of my plans will be cancelled…’

That was when I was making a troubled expression.

Suddenly, the guy rushed towards me at high speed.

Paaah-!!

It happened in an instant. It seemed like he was genuinely interested in dealing with me.

Its speed was faster than expected. He could not be compared to King Ildo, who was the first awakened person.

Soon he arrived in front of me in an instant.

Then he swung his brightly shining fist at me.

I quickly used shield magic.

Beonjjaeok-!!

It was a very fast reaction speed. In an instant, a translucent shield appeared in front of me.

but.

Clink-!!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t withstand that guy’s fist.

Surprisingly, its glowing fist shattered my shield without difficulty.

It didn’t end there.

The guy’s fist didn’t just break the shield, it kept coming towards me.

It was a crisis.

The guy’s fist landed right in front of my abdomen. To be exact, it reached the end of the robe.

At this level, it was virtually impossible to avoid it.

I soon saw the expression on the face of the guy who had won.

He seemed confident of victory.

And I…

Hwiik.

I easily dodged his attack.

I easily avoided it by just turning my body to the right.

“Hmm…?”

I could see the guy’s expression of disbelief.

And it was the same for me.

‘Oops… I accidentally avoided it.’

The movement of the 3rd awakened person appeared without my knowledge.

“……Avoid this?”

The guy had a dazed expression, but quickly came to his senses.

“, try to avoid this too!”

And then he swung his fist again.

Soon, a fist came right in front of my nose.

And I do this again.

Hwiik.

I easily dodged his attack.

“This too?!”

The guy continued to attack me with a puzzled look on his face.

And every time it attacked, I dodged it with minimal movement.

It was as if he was reading the flow of the attack.

Of course, it was not an appearance that a second awakened person or advanced wizard would show.

Soon his expression hardened. And it stopped in place.

I gave a slightly troubled look.

‘I think this got caught?’

It seemed like they had discovered that I was a third awakener.

‘It is very rare for a 3rd awakened person to even use magic…’

At this point, I could almost say that my identity had been revealed.

I immediately made a cold face. It seemed like I would have to get rid of him to cover his mouth.

‘Should we kill all the prostitutes too?’

I guess we’ll have to see a lot of blood tonight.

In an instant, my mood sank.

I moved my arms with a cold face. He was trying to grab the sword hidden inside his robe.

The moment you grab the sword, a massacre will probably occur.

But it was that moment.

“Sorry, sorry. Archmage! Well, I didn’t dare recognize it and was so arrogant!”

I stopped moving when I heard his loud voice.

“Hmm?”

“At the moment of crisis, he quickly spreads magic all over his body and reads the flow of mana to avoid my attacks. You must be the Archmage!”

It seemed like he was seriously mistaken.

I just avoided it. I didn’t really use any magic like he said.

However, it was quite possible for an archmage.

Perhaps, if it were Constantine, it would be possible to avoid it as he said.

‘Is this what happens?’

I quickly turned my head.

I think I was mistaken because I had such great insight.

Should I say that I was deceived because I knew the Archmage well?

Anyway, it wasn’t a bad situation.

No, it was pretty good.

I nodded with a calm expression and opened my mouth.

“Wow, your insight is amazing.”

The act was done in an instant. Acting like this was very easy for me as a mercenary.

“Thank you!”

He actually thanked me for what I said. He seemed to completely believe that I was a great wizard.

‘I guess you’re the type of person who is weak to the strong.’

It was even better for me.

I immediately gave him an order in an arrogant voice. I shouldn’t have given him time to think about anything else.

“Then I need to get out of the way and meet the owner of this place.”

“That… you mean the owner? Yes, I will guide you!”

“Hmm? you? Yes.”

I nodded. There was no need to refuse an offer to guide me.

Anyway, I could see the worry on his face.

‘Are you worried that I might harm the owner of this place?’

It seemed like he had a deep relationship with the owner of this place. Probably, that’s why I was able to use this place for free.

‘That’s what it was. ‘I understand now.’

In some ways, it could be said that the owner of the Changgwan used his brain well.

They gave free treatment to the second awakened person and made him an escort.

He was definitely not an ordinary person.

‘I want to see you soon.’

I walked away with a face full of curiosity.

If he’s a good person…

‘I need to think about recruiting him like Robin.’

***

The owner of the changguan was truly unusual.

I made a slightly embarrassed face.

“Tilla!!”

“Dubalton!!”

Wow-!!

This was because the two dwarves embraced warmly as soon as they met.

Kwazijic-!!

“Huh-up!!”

There was also a sound as if something had broken.

‘Is this a dwarven hug?’

I just saw Dubalton making a painful expression. He seemed to be in even more pain than when he was hit by Explosion.

It was truly amazing power.

Anyway, it seemed like that female dwarf was the owner of the Changgwan.

‘Dwarves run the Changgwan?’

It had a very unusual appearance.

Of course I couldn’t imagine it.

In general, there was a perception that dwarves operated blacksmith shops. And in fact, most of them were like that.

But I never thought I would run a store…

‘Is that why the building was so fancy?’

When I asked who did it, it seemed like they made it themselves.

Anyway, I felt like all my questions were answered.

The owner of the storehouse was not smart.

‘It wasn’t a luxury strategy. Because I’m a dwarf, I just built a pretty house.’

Moreover, it was not like he intentionally gave Dubalton free treatment.

At first glance, the two were in love. Anyone could see it.

To put it simply…

It was all a mistake on my part.

I sighed.

‘I tried to use it as a subordinate…’

If I was smart, I tried to write well like Robin. But it didn’t seem necessary.

Soon their embrace ended.

And she looked at me with a slightly fearful look.
