Episode 94. Shinma unity
The moment Kim Jin-seong finished speaking.
The black waves that covered the surroundings began to be absorbed into Kim Jin-seong’s body at a rapid pace.
Soon, the ‘space dominated by demonic energy’ that had covered the surroundings disappeared as if washed away.
At the same time, even the thin magic membrane that covered Kim Jin-seong’s body completely disappeared.
In fact, saying it disappeared was an understatement. It did not disappear, but was completely absorbed into Kim Jin-seong’s body.
‘… what?’
Hanmir tilted his head with a puzzled look.
Even though it absorbed the surrounding black waves, it was incomprehensible why it also absorbed the black mana that covered its body.
In order to utilize mana, you must raise it above your body. This is the first step to realization upon awakening.
In other words, in Hanmir’s eyes, Kim Jin-seong seemed to have no intention of using mana at all.
‘however… ‘What is this uncomfortable feeling?’
Han Mir could not let go of the tension he felt from Kim Jin-seong’s unknown sense of crisis.
It’s clearly a situation where no mana is being exerted at all, to the point where you can’t feel it at all… . Why does it feel more dangerous?
“… what?”
“Why did you suddenly return to your normal self?”
“That figure looks so weak… ?”
At that time, even the audience was buzzing with puzzled faces when they saw Kim Jin-seong.
Some guests in the VIP section jumped out of their seats in shock when they realized Kim Jin-seong’s condition.
Baek Jun and Jang Seung-wook, who were among them, opened their mouths, unable to take their eyes off Kim Jin-seong.
“CEO… “That’s it, right?”
“okay.”
Baekjun nodded with a surprised face at Jang Seungwook’s trembling voice.
“It is a state of unity between body and energy.”
A state where the body and mana literally become one.
This is the stage where mana can be used most efficiently and to the extreme, and thus it is even possible to cause damage to other dimensions.
In addition, Kim Jin-seong has now entered the most basic stage of survival in the New World.
“Huh, heh heh…” “To realize the state of miraculous unity at that age?”
“That’s amazing. I really didn’t expect this… .”
Even the masters of the 4th clan, Oh Byeong-guk and Kang Gyeong-kwon, stood up and could not hide their surprised expressions.
Hong Hyun-jin, nearby, looked very shocked.
‘Nonsense… ! I only recently achieved this at such a young age… ?’
Hong Hyun-jin is currently one of the top five prospects in Korea.
The fact that she reached the level of divine unity in her mid-20s was enough to prove that she had the greatest talent.
However, Kim Jin-seong realized this before he was even twenty.
‘And that too without being taught by anyone… !’
Born as the eldest daughter of the 4th clan, Hong Hyun-jin received the highest level of education from the clan’s experts every day from an early age, was constantly managed by her mana and blood condition, and consumed all the elixirs that were good for her body, thus reaching her current state.
However, Kim Jin-seong reached the same level as her at a much younger age, on his own without any help from anyone.
Kim Jin-seong, the person who surprised all the experts who were watching, was looking at the notification window that appeared in front of him.
▶ The state has been converted to ‘body and demon unity’.
▷ Shinma Unity: The body becomes one with demonic energy. All abilities used by Magi increase significantly in proportion to the user’s abilities. You can attack other dimensions.
Right now, Kim Jin-seong felt as if every single cell in his body had turned into demonic energy.
‘I saw Shinwoong using it and tried it, and it was easier than I thought.’
Immediately after the second round of the preliminaries ended, Kim Jin-seong returned to his dorm and the first thing he did was search for a video about Shin-woong.
It was easy to find analysis videos about Shinwoong on iTube, and all the channels were unanimous in concluding that Shinwoong was at the level of ‘mysterious unity’.
Since then, I have looked into the state of divine energy union, and through research, I have realized that it is a state in which mana is completely absorbed into the body.
So, I worked hard in the training room for the remaining week before the third round of the preliminary round began, and in the end, I succeeded in reaching my desired level.
Even though it is a state with a different name, ‘Shin-Ma-Unification’ rather than Divine-Ki-Unintegration.
‘Definitely the mana-related characteristics obtained by killing Seoldown were of great help.’
If it weren’t for Seoldown’s ‘Mana Controller’ trait, he wouldn’t have been able to reach this level in just a week.
‘Then shall we check how strong it is?’
Kim Jin-seong swung his sword sharply towards Han Mir in front.
A huge black half-moon appeared to be created from an ordinary-looking sword with no mana fluttering at all.
“… … !!”
Hanmir’s eyes widened.
The half-moon that was being created from Kim Jin-seong’s sword was already flying right in front of his nose.
The speed was so fast that Hanmir couldn’t even react even though he was currently in ‘buster’ mode.
Pow!
“Kaaak… !”
Soon, a huge explosion exploded from Hanmir’s right arm along with a loud noise.
At the same time, Hanmir felt tremendous pain and looked at his right arm, distorting his face.
The mechanical arm of the Abyss suit was everywhere, and what caught his eye was an ordinary human arm, covered in blood and bent in a deformed manner.
The sturdy Abyss suit, which had held up so well until now, was shattered in one attack this time.
‘Unbelievable… !’
Notification windows appeared on the screen in front of Hanmir, who was astonished.
[He suffered serious damage to his right arm.]
[Because it is currently in ‘buster’ mode, the damaged area cannot be repaired.]
Han Mir’s eyes shook greatly when he saw the notification window.

I finally remembered that there is no recovery when in buster mode.
‘Aren’t you saying that if I can’t recover, I have to avoid everything from now on?!’
Hanmir felt hopeless for a moment.
I couldn’t even react to the attack just now, so how can I avoid the next attack?
‘… omg!’
At that time, Jinseong Kim was seen swinging a sword again.
As soon as he saw that, Hanmir threw himself to the side with all his might.
Pow!
“Ahh!”
I was unable to completely avoid it and ended up allowing an attack to my side.
Once again, blood flowed from the side of the body where the flesh was exposed.
Kim Jin-seong, who saw this, did not change his expression at all and continued to swing his sword like a machine, sending out a black half-moon.
Pow! Pow! Pow!
The three black half-moon attacks in a row all hit Hanmir’s body and exploded.
Han Mir was hit five times in total.
“… Ugh… .”
He fell to the floor, his entire body covered in blood, and he was moaning.
The Abyss suit that protected his body was already gone. Only a few pieces of machinery attached to various parts of his body proved that he had once been wearing an Abyss suit.
Kim Jin-seong nodded towards Han Mir.
“As expected.”
And then, to finish off, he made a motion to swing his sword again.
Suddenly.
With a clean cut sound, Kim Jin-seong’s new model, which had barely moved until now, passed right by Han Mir and appeared on the other side.
At the same time, the audience could see Hanmir’s body splitting into left and right sides.
“and… !”
“It ends in vain like this?”
“When I think about how fierce it was in the beginning, the comparison is too much… ?”
“Tsk tsk… ! Can’t you see it? Just looking at it, Kim Jin-seong watched it in the beginning!”
“No, if Kim Jin-seong is overwhelmingly defeated even wearing a suit like that, who will stop Kim Jin-seong now… ?”
At a time when everyone in the audience was beyond amazed at Kim Jin-seong’s level and had reached a point where they were worried about the balance of the competition.
The two masters in the VIP section, Oh Byeong-guk and Kang Kyung-kwon, were conversing with expressions on their faces as if it was natural.
“As long as I was fighting at the level of divine and magical unity, there was no chance of winning even if I was wearing an Abyss suit.”
“The Abyss Suit is ultimately just a tool that must be supported by the user’s level of skill.”
Not only the two, but all the surrounding experts who had surpassed the level of miraculous union were making similar facial expressions to the two.
“If this is the case, the probability of recruiting Kim Jin-seong is now considered zero.”
“ha ha ha… . “That’s right.”
Kang Kyung-kwon smiles and agrees with Oh Byeong-guk’s words.
Why would someone who has reached the state of divine energy unity at such a young age bother to work for someone else? Even if it is one of the four major clans in the world.
Now Kim Jin-seong has only two options.
Either move to the New Continent, or create your own clan and reside in Korea.
‘There is probably a high probability of moving to the New Continent.’
Hong Hyun-jin, who was sitting nearby, looked at Kim Jin-seong and thought so.
Usually, geniuses who reached the level of divine unity at a young age usually headed to the New World with grand goals.
Hong Hyun-jin also had the same thought when he first reached the state of divine energy union.
‘That’s why I crave it even more. I definitely want to get my hands on it at all costs.’
Hong Hyun-jin’s eyes looking at Kim Jin-seong began to shine again.
No matter how much you think about it, Kim Jin-seong in front of you was the best and optimal talent who could grow the Baekdu Clan to one level or more.
* * *
That time.
Baekjun was talking on the phone with a more serious expression than ever.
“Put all remaining Hunter Department agents into the stadium. Never relax until you are shackled. If you let your guard down even a little, you’ll be in big trouble! Please keep that in mind.”
Baekjun looks down at the stadium while giving instructions in a voice more tense than ever.
In an instant, the sight of Hunter Department agents surrounding Kim Jin-seong caught his eye.
Soon, one person carefully walked towards Kim Jin-seong holding shackles, and it was only after seeing him with both hands shackled without incident that Baek Jun was able to relax.
‘after… It’s really driving me crazy.’
Baekjun frowned involuntarily as he felt his bones hurting.
In a situation where it is already difficult to thoroughly monitor Shinwoong, now even Kim Jinseong has entered the same state of divine unity.
In this case, the current surveillance force alone is insufficient.
‘I guess I’ll have to ask for another general-level surveillance force.’
Baekjun had no choice but to find Tak Namgyu’s contact information and press the call button.
In order to safely monitor participants in the realm of divine energy union, there must be a monitor in the same realm.
The only problem was that anyone who reached that level sat at least at the rank of general.
* * *
Time passed and it was late evening.
It was Kim Jin-seong’s first match, and he had already returned to his accommodation at the Colosseum Hotel suite a long time ago.
There, Kim Jin-seong was watching TV in a comfortable position while eating a hamburger set ordered through room service.
[The winner of this battle is Shin Woong!]
Soon, an announcement announcing Shinwoong’s victory was heard through the TV speakers.
Jinseong Kim said to himself as he put all the remaining hamburger into his mouth.
“I’m definitely no match for you.”
As expected, Shinwoong cut off his opponent’s head less than a minute after the game started.
Shin Woong of a similar level to Kim Jin-seong. However, Shinwoong’s opponent received less sponsorship money and was unable to wear even the highest level equipment such as the Abyss Suit.
The outcome was already decided before the fight.
‘Now all I have to do is check who my opponent is for round 3 and turn it off.’
Kim Jin-seong soon got up from his seat to clean up the leftover trash.
At that time, after taking out the trash, I went to the bathroom and even brushed my teeth.
[…] Then, right now, we will announce the matchups for the 3rd round of the 3rd preliminary round tomorrow!]
“oh.”
Kim Jin-seong immediately ran in front of the TV at the sound of the caster’s voice.
Immediately, a large number of matches, over 60, appeared on the TV screen.
Kim Jin-seong went down step by step from the top to check his name.
As his eyes continued to descend, they were fixed on the last row of the match.
– Game 61: Kim Jin-seong vs. Shin Woong.
