Episode 76. cage fish farm
Yang Jung-geun was so happy that he ran with all his might toward the direction where the voice was heard.
Soon, the group of taggers, including Deok-gu Lee, were seen being pushed to the exit and engaged in a bloody battle with the green slime monsters.
‘done! With this much strength, we can fight Kim Jin-seong again!’
Yang Jung-geun is feeling happy inside.
However, on the outside, his actions and speech were different from his inner feelings.
The habit of dealing with subordinates came out again this time.
“What are you doing?! “You couldn’t even kill monsters with that many numbers?!”
Yang Jung-geun suddenly screamed.
At the same time, the heads of the Quagmir summons all turned towards Yang Jung-geun.
Then they all launched their bodies towards Yang Jung-geun.
“W-what?!”
Yang Jung-geun was very surprised.
Why did they leave all the other taggers who had been fighting so far and all attack me?
‘shit! ‘There’s nothing I can do about it!’
Yang Jung-geun, who had one of his arms broken, could never win against these slimes.
So he quickly struck the floor with his remaining intact arm and created a new magic circle.
At the same time, he shouted to the taggers.
“Kill these bastards for me!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the area around Yang Jung-geun was covered with a gray curtain. The subspace magic circle was activated.
The Quagmir summons that could not enter the magic circle tried their best to somehow get inside the magic circle.
The taggers who were watching the scene began to hesitate extremely.
“What should I do… ?”
“What should I do, Deokgu? Do we have to fight again?”
“Those slimes are too strong to fight… .”
Everyone said one thing at a time and looked at Lee Deok-gu, the temporary leader.
Lee Deok-gu, who had the power to make the decision, also looked embarrassed.
“If things were to go the way they were supposed to, we would have to kill them all, but I think the damage would be too great to do that… .”
Lee Deok-gu’s eyes turned to the corpses of the taggers lying around.
More than 10 people have already died. If we kill all those slimes like this, I don’t know how many more victims there will be.
It was then.
One of the taggers was scared, pointed to one side and shouted loudly.
“Ki, ki, it’s Kim Jin-seong!!”
Everyone’s heads turned in that direction.
The figure of Kim Jin-seong slowly emerging from around the corner came into everyone’s sight.
As Yang Jung-geun created a new subspace magic circle, the magic circle that had naturally trapped Kim Jin-seong also disappeared.
‘omg!’
‘It’s real!’
‘For that monster to appear at this exact moment!’
All of the taggers looked horrified.
To that extent, the impact of the three letters of the name Kim Jin-seong on the current participants was enormous.
At that time, everyone was hesitantly retreating to get away from Kim Jin-seong.
“Let’s retreat for now!”
Lee Deok-gu’s instructions reached the ears of all the taggers.
“It is suicidal to deal with Kim Jin-seong in a situation where monsters are too daunting. Let’s live for now. “Go up!”
As Deok-gu Lee shouted, the hesitating taggers soon started running up the stairs one by one.
Lee Deok-gu nodded slightly at that sight.
‘As expected, I knew it would be like this.’
Even when the taggers saw Yang Jung-geun again, they no longer followed him. Rather, they seemed to be asking Deok-gu Lee to make a decision.
‘You don’t want to get killed in an unfavorable situation for no reason. This is especially true for those who have already passed the preliminaries.’
In fact, as we learned through the current announcement, the number of people confirmed to have passed the preliminaries was higher than expected. Approximately 40 people had already passed.
And the sight of those 40 people running at the forefront was coming into Lee Deok-gu’s field of vision.
‘Okay, now I’m going to check the end of Yang Jung-geun.’
Deok-gu Lee, who was now left alone, stood at the exit and exchanged glances with Jin-seong Kim.
Kim Jin-seong, who saw Lee Deok-gu nodding slightly, turned his head straight toward the subspace magic circle without any reaction.
Then it looked like it was going inside.
‘Just go inside?’
Lee Deok-gu was startled and looked towards the subspace where Kim Jin-seong had disappeared.
When not even 3 minutes had passed.
Soon the cloudy curtain that formed the sub-space gradually began to clear.
After the curtain completely disappeared, the person who came into Lee Deok-gu’s field of vision was Kim Jin-seong, who looked fine.
And another sight caught my eye.
‘… ‘It’s miserable.’
It was Yang Jung-geun’s body lying in a state that fit the word truly gruesome.
The sight of all parts of the body, including the arms, legs, neck, and joints being distorted and distorted, was terrifying even to Lee Deok-gu, who had seen many corpses.
For three minutes, it was worth seeing how Kim Jin-seong handled Yang Jung-geun.
“It’s enough for just one of you to not create a ‘space dominated by demons.’”
Kim Jin-seong, who coldly spit out a word toward the corpse, turned his head and looked at Lee Deok-gu.

At that moment, he opened his mouth towards Lee Deok-gu, who flinched without realizing it.
“Our alliance ends here.”
Lee Deok-gu was startled by those words and took a step back.
“Go up. And from now on, stay out of my sight.”
Kim Jin-seong speaks as if he is giving unilateral notice.
Lee Deok-gu nodded immediately, then turned around and started running up the stairs.
‘Don’t stand out? Even if you don’t say that, it will never be noticed. never!’
Lee Deok-gu’s eyes were filled with extreme fear as he made a promise to himself.
* * *
After Lee Deok-gu disappeared from sight.
Kim Jin-seong, who remained alone among the Quagmire summons, was organizing the notifications that appeared in front of him.
‘I gained a lot of really good characteristics and skills through this battle.’
Kim Jin-seong began to organize what skills and characteristics he had acquired and which existing skills he had to discard as a result.
‘First of all, I acquired Jang Hyeong-hyeong’s frozen mana characteristic.’
▷ Ice Age: Mana can be converted to ice properties.
As Kim Jin-seong expected, Jang Hyeong-tae did not just possess a skill, but possessed the characteristic of being able to freely utilize frozen mana.
It was predictable because the way he created ice arrows, walls, and whirlwinds was no different from Kim Jin-seong, who used magic energy to perform similar attacks.
However, Kim Jin-seong was much more skilled in its use.
‘I’ve gained fire and ice abilities, so now if I just get lightning abilities, I’ll have all the elemental characteristics.’
For a moment, Pungbitgaram’s face flashed through Kim Jinseong’s mind.
The sight of forming a magic circle out of clouds and unleashing a lightning attack on Quagmire was still vivid before Kim Jin-seong’s eyes.
‘I’ll definitely have to kill that bastard with my own hands later.’
In any case, Pungbitgaram betrayed him first. Therefore, there are already plenty of reasons to kill.
‘And I also gained all of Wang Dumpling’s skills and characteristics.’
▷ Human Vacuum Cleaner: Suctions life forms in front with its mouth and swallows them. You permanently gain 0.1% of the stats of the creature you ate, and gain 1% of your body weight.
– The space within the sucking range instantly turns into a vacuum.
– Consumes 25 mana when used.
▷ Slime Skin: Skin defense and skin elasticity increase by 100%.
Actually, I was going to throw away the ‘Human Vacuum Cleaner’ skill. It was because I didn’t think I would really use it.
‘It’s good to permanently gain abilities, but gaining weight is a bit… .’
However, since ‘Mana Hawk’ and ‘Surveillance Eye’, and ‘Shadow Hide’ and ‘Warp Hole’ were fused respectively, two skill slots were left empty, so I just put them in for now.
‘Next is the laser skill… .’
▷ Laser Beam: Concentrates mana to fire a powerful laser beam. Mana is continuously consumed while firing the beam, and the firepower of the laser beam can be adjusted depending on the amount of mana used.
‘… There’s no need for this.’
In fact, it is a technique that can be easily imitated with Magi.
Still, there was one empty skill slot, so I put it in for now.
‘Because it might be useful as a skill fusion material.’
Now that skill fusion has become possible, we should no longer judge skills simply by looking at their usefulness and discarding them.
If it is a laser beam skill that can attack at speeds as fast as light, there is a high probability that it will be a good material when fused with other attack skills.
‘And, the Geumgang Bulgo skill obtained from Im Sang-hun.’
▷ Diamond Bull Ingot: When used, skin defense increases by 1500% for 5 minutes and becomes immune to all physical conditions. Consumes 1500 mana.
‘I finally got the higher version skill of ‘Unobstructable Charge’.’
The reason I still had the ‘Unobstructable Charge’ skill was because the buff called ‘Immunity to all physical conditions’ was so attractive.
However, I got a new skill that gave me the same buff but also increased my defense to a ridiculous amount, so I no longer needed the ‘Unobstructable Charge’ skill.
‘Still, I’ve put it to good use so far.’
If I didn’t have an unobstructable charge skill, I wouldn’t have even dared to catch Porginae, who kept throwing sleep and blinding powder at me.
‘So, the Diamond Bullion was replaced with the Uninterruptible Charge, and is the last one a comprehensive trait obtained from Yang Jung-geun?’
▶ Acquired ‘Sihir Warrior’, the opponent’s overall characteristic.
▷ Sihir Warrior: Obtains the following characteristics and permanent storage skills.
– Provocation: Loads mana into the surrounding area and shouts loudly. All monsters except those protected from abnormal statuses target you.
– Create a subspace magic circle: Inject mana into the floor to create a wide area of a subspace magic circle.
– Inside the magic circle, allies’ stats double, and enemies’ stats drop to less than half. Allies and enemies can be designated by the user.
– Consumes 1000 mana when used.
– Permanently increases strength by 30 and intelligence by 35.
The overall characteristics I acquired this time were only two skills. Considering that I’ve always gotten at least three on average so far, it’s not much.
‘But subspace magic circle, that one skill is as useful as two or more skills.’
This time, I realized this while fighting with taggers in Yang Jung-geun’s subspace.
The subspace magic circle is a very difficult skill to deal with from the enemy’s perspective.
If Jinseong Kim had not known how to create a ‘space dominated by demonic energy,’ he might have lost the battle.
‘I can use this often in future battles. Above all, I think the skill fusion effect will be good.’
For example, what if you combine the skills ‘Spider Web’ and ‘Create Subspace Magic Circle’?
So, what if enemies who enter subspace are greatly restricted in their actions due to the spider webs that are everywhere?
Then you will be able to eliminate enemies much more easily.
‘I’ll have to find out what skills it fuses with.’
Kim Jin-seong, thinking that, immediately used the shadow hiding skill and went into the ground.
At the same time, a huge warp hole was created around the spot where he was standing.
Only after 15 seconds had passed did Kim Jin-seong enter the warp hole.
Kim Jin-seong came out of the exit and immediately appeared on the ground.
“How have you been?”
The sight of dozens of Quagmires running towards Kim Jin-seong, who greets them warmly.
This was a spacious room on the third basement floor.
In this place, where the exit was tightly closed with an iron gate, Kim Jin-seong was deliberately multiplying the real Quagmires.
It was the so-called ‘Quagmire cage fish farm’.
There is only one reason to multiply monsters. It was for mining Biscrima Point.
‘You must collect 5,000 points to test what kind of skill fusion you have.’
Jinseong Kim prepared to create a magic bead and throw it at the rushing Quagmire.
‘And it’s a good idea to save up points just in case an unexpected situation arises. There’s still some snow left.’
While picturing in his mind the image of Seoldaun chatting cheerfully in the seat next to him on the plane, Jinseong Kim fired the magical energy beads he had created towards the Quagmire in front.
