​

‘Hey, have you prepared something fun?’

​

This is what I thought the moment I first stepped into their trap.

​

Because my energy was sealed, I couldn’t use my energy, but I could see something just by looking at it.

​

A dark and wide space that looks very suspicious, vaguely visible obstacles and shadows of human shapes, even the faint sound of breathing caught in your sharply sharpened senses.

​

They may have been hiding from others, but to me, it was like playing hide and seek with a five-year-old.

​

The reason I went into it even though I knew it was a trap wasn’t because I suddenly thought I would be punished because of the sincerity of the guys who had prepared the trap.

​

It was simply because I had confidence that I could easily deal with whatever the villains did.

​

‘If you think about it, it seems like the organization was late in responding. This probably means that rushing straight into the hideout through the door was that much faster and more effective.’

​

At the same time as I thought that, I felt my body suddenly become heavier.

​

Wow~

​

‘It’s an amazing ability. It’s pretty heavy. Is it causing weight gain? Or gravity?’

​

If I had this kind of superpower, it seemed like it would be possible to train under several times the force of gravity like in the cartoon.

​

Of course, if your body is not capable of withstanding that much gravity, your joints and other things will be damaged.

​

Wazijikㅡ

​

As the gravity felt on my body increased, the floor I was standing on began to collapse.

​

It was durable enough that you wouldn’t notice any abnormalities when you just stepped on it, but it seemed like the floor was made so that it couldn’t withstand the increased gravity.

​

‘For something prepared in a surprisingly short period of time, it is a trap based on delicate principles.’

​

Even as I fell to the floor, I didn’t feel any sense of urgency. The spear blade hidden beneath the trap had already been discovered through a high-speed accident.

​

‘To be precise, it’s not a spear but an awl. ‘It doesn’t seem to have a wooden handle.’

​

I waited for my body to fall to an appropriate height and then swung my leg hard until the awl touched my foot.

​

Pow!

​

The awls kicked in my toes were bent like taffy sticks.

​

‘Considering the durability of my body and suit, I think it would be okay to just step on it, but you never know.’

​

For no reason, like the slashing villain I saw before, if there was a superpower that could penetrate anything or poison the opponent with even a small wound, things could get annoying.

​

It’s good to be relaxed, but it’s a bit unseemly to let your guard down and get caught.

​

Fortunately, the material of the awl seems to have been ordinary iron. I stood balanced on the curved awl. And the rest of the awls were also bent to the side by pressing them with their feet.

​

‘I’m a little disappointed if this is all. ‘All you have to do is set a trap under your feet?’

​

Of course, for an ordinary psychic, this level would be enough. Because you will not be able to properly control your body in the suddenly increased gravity, you will fall straight towards the awl and become a skewer.

​

But no matter what, it’s still like that. I came this far by wiping out all of their hideouts, but I thought my response was too insincere.

​

The moment you think like that. The familiar sound of a door opening came from overhead.

​

Clap~

​

‘?’

​

When I raised my head and looked at the ceiling above the trap, what I saw was a large door wide open and a thick stream of water gushing out through it.

​

Quarrr!!

​

In a split-second decision, I put my back against the wall of the trap and at the same time, a huge amount of water poured into the trap.

​

slam!

​

‘oh… ‘Is this pretty?’

​

Even I, who has superhuman physical abilities, was shocked by the force of the shock. The gravity has already increased several times, and even a huge amount of water is weighing down the body.

​

It seemed like it was probably a specially prepared trap knowing that I had a supernatural ability to control fire.

​

You can certainly use this ability in the water, but the amount of stamina consumed is several times greater than outside the water.

​

In the past, when the only ability I could use was controlling fire, it was a trap that could have been quite difficult.

​

‘But not now.’

​

A funny idea suddenly occurred to me, so instead of jumping out of the water right away, I searched through my inventory. If you go out quickly, you will be under heavy attack from villains, so it is better to prepare a counterattack in the water.

​

What came out in my hand with a grinning smile was the Chosu Dongbaekjang (招水冬柏杖).

​

It was a Buddhist instrument that was used to kill and rob a bandit in Tuseonhyuphaengrok. If the name were to be translated literally, it could roughly be seen as a camellia wand that wields water.

​

‘Actually, this is my first time using it in battle… ‘

​

In the meantime, Chosu Dongbaekjang was mainly used for cleaning with water, bathing, or to extinguish fires when the fire was too big.

​

Even before I came here, the fire burning the hideout grew so big that I was on my way to put it out before it spread to the surrounding area.

​

This means that even though it has been used a lot after the battle has ended, it has never been used during the battle.

​

‘But that doesn’t mean the performance is poor. ‘I did it because it was easier to use my supernatural ability than to just hold a staff in my hand.’

​

Chosu Dongbaekjang is a Buddhist tool that made a mere number of people call themselves Habaek, the god of rivers, and boasted extremely impressive performance for something that can only be performed by a single staff.

​

Bubble bubble ㅡ

​

I concentrated my mind in the non-stop pouring water. The shock was the worst when the water first poured, but now the pressure is relatively less.

​

‘Whoa…’ ‘

​

Originally, Chosu Dongbaekjang was a teaching tool that operated using internal energy as fuel. Now, I had sealed my inner strength.

​

So, in the end, it can be said that it is nothing more than a somewhat strong staff, but as I have already used it in other hideouts before, it is possible to replace its internal strength to some extent with supernatural abilities.

​

Although it is difficult to control detailed information such as feel, there is no problem in functioning as a simple fuel.

​

It was a similar principle that he used his special ability to perform the Heavenly Palace Fire and Fighter technique when he fought with Tuma.

​

Wow~

​

A slight tremor was conveyed from the super-manual Dongbaekjang, who had been injected with supernatural abilities.

​

There is a creaky feeling, perhaps because it is infused with supernatural abilities rather than internal energy. When I use this ability instead, it feels like its durability gradually decreases the more I use it.

​

Still, he just showed those symptoms and was still fine.

​

And although my ability to handle water is good, I have no intention of pampering one item and using it for the rest of my life. If it breaks while using it, you can go to a travel destination where there is an item with a similar function and get it.

​

‘Well, if you ask the Namgung family later, they’ll find a craftsman who can repair the Buddhist instruments.’

​

While thinking about that, I raised my staff.

​

The water around me began to sway according to my will. Although stamina is consumed when using this ability, the consumption is significantly less than using the ability as is in the water.

​

‘This is my reward for the surprise welcome party.’

​

Instead of directly going against the flow of water pouring from above, just gently change the direction…

​

Quarrr!!!

​

‘what.’

​

The water flow became more rough than expected.

​

Is it because it was handled with a clear intent to attack, unlike when it was used to put out a fire? Not only did the thick stream of water gush out from the door, but even the water in which my body was submerged began to shake.

​

For a moment, I wondered if I should control the flow, but then I quickly stopped worrying.

​

‘what… Rather good? ‘I was planning on wiping it all out anyway.’

​

And at the same time, an overwhelming amount of water attacked the villains.

​

Kwagwagwagwagwa!!!

​

“What is this!”

“Who controls the river! Stop right now!”

“No! There is no one here who has awakened a supernatural power to control water!”

“Then what is this situation now!”

​

‘Did you bring water from the river? I guess I should acknowledge the creativity score.’

​

It started to get noisy outside the trap. They must have been embarrassed by the stream of water that suddenly began to attack them, wriggling as if they were alive.

​

Since all the water inside the trap was taken out, there was no problem in hearing the sound.

​

Pow!! Pubung!!!

​

A sound like a water balloon bursting was heard several times, as if the water was being attacked with supernatural powers.

​

It seemed like the villains’ minds had completely gone elsewhere, so they escaped the trap with a light leap.

​

“!”

​

A few villains who saw me in good condition tried to shout something, but couldn’t get their words out. Because the door wasn’t closed, the water continued to rise and flooded the inside of the building.

​

The villains were unable to balance inside, as if they had been swept away by a tsunami.

​

I used the Super Water Dongbaekjang to make the river flow faster.

​

Kwagwagwagwagwa!!!

​

The villains bounced around in the water as if they were in a giant washing machine. Some of them hit the obstacles they were hiding behind so hard that their body parts were bent strangely.

​

“Rurrr !”

​

After playing with the villains like that for a while, I noticed that they failed to resist and their bodies went limp, so I put the Super-Manual Dongbaekjang in my inventory. Before putting it in, the huge door hanging from the ceiling was closed by controlling the water.

​

Clap!

​

“Ugh… ”

“Cough! Cough… !”

“Uwaeeek… !”

​

More than half of the villains drowned or died from the impact of colliding with obstacles. The rest were unable to properly control their bodies and stuck their heads in the water that had accumulated on the floor.

​

At that time, the villain, who seemed to be fine with only one arm broken, shouted at me.

​

“Uh, how did you get out of there! I definitely saw you falling into a trap!”

​

“Well. How did you do it?”

​

“Perhaps there is a traitor among us and we need information… ”

​

“The correct answer is ‘It wasn’t a dangerous trap to begin with.’ I could have avoided it if I had wanted to, but I prepared hard and would be sorry if I passed by without looking.”

​

“… Even though you have that kind of ability, you still fall into a trap?”

​

“Just because it looks fun.”

​

“What… ?”

​

“I thought I had lured you into a trap, but I was curious what kind of expression you would make when you reappeared unharmed.”

​

“… … .”

​

“The facial expression is just what I expected, so I’m not particularly impressed. I have a question more than that.”

​

I approached the villain who had a dumb expression on his face as if he didn’t understand my answer. Then, I lowered my upper body, looked at the guy’s face, and asked.

​

“Why don’t you stop playing around like this and call your executives? I gave you a nice tour, so you can ask that much, right? I already know you’re waiting nearby.”

​

“!”
