SWNOVELS Chapter 26
“Uh, um… It’s not going to be a strange request, is it?”
Is it because she just heard that the condition to regress is death? Kang Sejun laughed a little when Seora asked timidly.
“You can refuse. I’m just saying.”
“Well, alright then.”
As long as it did not matter if she refused, she found nothing wrong. It wasn’t like it was going to cost her.
“Okay. Then I’ll take care of it for you. I’ll give you all the horn ore, so rest assured. Remember that you came here only to understand my skills.”
The sharp eyes sank again.
“But I also want to see your skills.”
“Alright, you go on first, then. Since money is at stake, I’ll let it slide just this once.”
“… You are very generous.”
Sejun snorted as if it were ridiculous but stepped forward.
Unlike his sculpture-like face, a hand full of wounds stretched forward. A reddish light with flames appeared in the air. As Sejun flicked his finger down, rain of red fire poured down on the monster.
“You’re really good at controlling the firepower.”
Seora squatted down and started watching the fire.
It looked like it was pouring out recklessly, but it actually penetrated through the body of the rhino while avoiding all the horn ores that would cause Seora’s wrath if they were damaged even a little.
“Certainly, mages specialize in wide-area deals.”
Not much time had passed, and half of the Ore Rhinos were already dead with the burning smell.
“Um, I don’t think I can understand L-class abilities if you kill them at once like this.”
“Don’t make things difficult. Just describe it as overwhelming.”
“So basically you’re saying you’re incredibly strong, right? Fine, that would do for the assessment.”
“Can’t you speak a little nicely?”
“Uh, that’s not something I’d like to hear from Mr. Returnee, who speaks informally on our first meeting.”
“…”
Do you have something to say? Seora chuckled as Kang Sejun’s brows knitted, but eventually closed his mouth.
“Is it my turn now? Actually, I don’t have much to show. It’s only been a few days since I re-awakened to the S-class, so I haven’t figured out all of my skills yet.”
“The Werewolf Dungeon Incident? I heard of it. Did you survive because you made a contract with an Entity?”
“God has done me a miracle. Maybe you didn’t see me in the past because a miracle didn’t happen then.”
“Can you say things like that so casually?”
“What’s wrong with it?”
Seora tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.
“In any case, I don’t remember that past life. The important thing is that a miracle has happened in this life, and I am living well. The present is always the most important to me.”
Seora smiled and picked up her gun.
There were a lot of them, and she had to deal with them on her own with a single gun. And unlike the Werewolves, there was a handicap that the horn ore couldn’t be damaged.
What should I do?
Let’s increase our weapons for now.
“Hit, transformation.”
Seora tapped the sniper rifle she was holding. The glowing red Hit separated into two. Dual pistols filled Seora’s hands.
“Your weapon can transform?”
Sejun opened his eyes wide.
“You have that rare thing just a few days after you became an S-class? A Regeneration Jacket, a transformative weapon. Did you catch a diamond Entity or something?”
Oops. Seora rolled her eyes. Kang Sejun wanted to know her skills, so she had nothing to hide. But she hadn’t thought about the rarity of transformative weapons.
And not just a simple transformation either, but free transformation…
‘I’ll have to hide that.’
[Administrator: (*ꈍ꒳*)]
Yeah, you gave me something so precious. Seora, who smiled at the cute administrator, took a step toward the monster.
“Field deployment.”
[Activate the skill ‘Field Control’!]
A red cube was created in the air at the same time as the skill was activated. Her red-tinted left eye identified the coordinates.
[Zone setting complete. Temporarily takes control of the specified field!]
[“Hit” responds to the skill “Field Control”. Destructive power increased. Accuracy increased.]
[Weapon ‘Hit’ bullets are converted appropriately!]
It was the same skill, but it was different from the time of the Harpoon Snake. Dozens of tiny cubes were aimed at the monsters’ foreheads. Unfortunately, the number of cubes was a little lacking.
“Is it because my skill proficiency is low?”
That’s unfortunate. But let’s just focus on reducing the number for now. Seora jumped right through the monsters.
Bang, bang! Mana bullets poured out from the dual pistols held in both hands. It seemed to be rough shots, but Hit, which had responded to the skill, popped the monsters’ heads with a slight touch of the cube. It was also accurate enough not to damage the horn ores.
Whenever Seora moved quickly, monsters with their foreheads popped collapsed.
“I don’t think she only has a sniper trait.”
Sejun, who remained behind, paid attention to Seora’s movements.
When she first killed the Harpoon Snake, she was carrying a sniper rifle, so he had naturally assumed that her trait was a sniper. However, her skills were very heterogeneous to be a simple combat shooter or sniper.
More than increasing destructive power or accuracy, her skills seemed to be more specific to space.
“Is it a unique talent field?”
The characteristics of the Awakened were broadly classified into four categories.
Combat field, magic field, healing field, and unique ability field.
Unlike the three other fields, the unique ability field had unique special abilities that were different from others. That was why only a very few Awankened could develop this trait, and they were that strong.
Song Hanna, the number 1 in the unofficial domestic rankings, and Joo Eun, who was in second place, had also developed their unique abilities.
“I need to get you involved somehow.”
Considering that very few Awakeneds dealt with space, Yoon Seora would be a more beneficial target than Joo Eun or Song Hanna, because there had been times when he had failed to attract those two.
The reason why he said he would help sell her items to Guardian Spirit Guild was in order not to lose the bond with her.
‘It hasn’t been long since she became an S-class, so her movements are rough, but time will solve it. When it comes to potential, it’s the best in Korea at least.’
To hold onto Yoon Seora, it seems like I will have to extort some money out of Guardian Spirit properly.
Yoo Soo-eun, the greedy Guardian Spirit Guild’s leader obviously had a lot of money as she was a Healer as well as a Mage. So Sejun decided to forget about his conscience. The important thing was to prepare for the future.
“Ah, I’ve used up all my skills.”
Seora, unaware that Kang Sejun was planning to somehow raise money for her, clicked her tongue when her skill was canceled. It was harder to invoke it again because she had consumed more mana than when she fought the Harpoon Snake.
I see. More mana power drains out when the cube is split into several parts rather than one big cube. Okay, I got it.
“Hit, transform.”
The dual pistols were merged into a sniper rifle again. Seora shouted at Sejun.
“The Mage over there! Don’t just look around. Make a little footing on the top of the wall over there!”
“Returnee-ssi, Mage-ssi. You’re calling me so casually.”contemporary romance
Sejun frowned and thumped on the wall. High up in the cave wall, the soil clumped together, creating a small foothold for one person to climb.
“Oooh. You really can use other attributes as well. Is it because you’re an L-class?”
“Thanks to the title effect. I realized it during my 4th regression.”
“What title?”
“Omniscient Wizard. It’s an L-class title.”
Seora, who climbed up on the scaffolding and aimed at the rhino monster, stared blankly at Sejun at his words. She double-checked his information.
[The Awakened Information]
Name: Kang Sejun (L-class)
Title: Wheel of Eternal Bridle (EX), Omniscient Mage (L-class), Hell’s Flame (S-class), Indomitable Will (A-class), The Loser of Humiliation (A-class)
Characteristic: War Mage—Fire System
Entities in Contract: Hourglass of Destiny
Special Note: Returnee (5th round)
Before, she had been surprised by the word “Returnee,” so she hadn’t had a chance to see anything else.
The Wheel of Eternal Bridle must be related to regression at first glance, and the only L-class title, Omniscient Mage, caught her eye later.
‘Wow, omniscience. Does that mean he can use all the traits? That guy is a scammer too. And what on earth is The Loser of Humiliation?’
It was very different from other titles.
Maybe that has something to do with his return. That’s right, the first time I met him in front of a level 2 dungeon, he had a very angry face.
Seora glanced at Sejun. How did he return? What does he want to achieve as he returns?
‘I can feel it. The feeling telling me that I shouldn’t know.’
The peculiar ominous feeling that could be felt by an office worker, who noticed annoying things that interfere with leaving work on time and vacation, wrapped around his body like a ghost.
‘Yeah, alright. Okay. I should never be associated with Returnee-ssi for a long time. But money is important, so let’s ignore it for now.’
As Seora always said, her safety was the top priority.
“Then let’s start with the horn ore.”
Seora pointed her gun at the few remaining Ore Rhinos. She was on high ground, the best way for a sniper to have a clear view.
She pulled the trigger towards the rhino’s head seen over the scope. Again, one-shot, one-kill. Nothing could sound cooler than the sound of her gun crackling.

“Well, L-class-ssi. Then please take care of my money.”
With a happy face, Seora collected all the horn ores. After carefully examining for any scratches, she handed it all over to Kang Sejun.
Kang Sejun put the horn ores into his inventory without saying a word toward Seora, whose face was glowing.
“I will inform you of the negotiation process with Guardian Spirit, so let’s keep in touch.”
The two perfectly exchanged numbers before leaving the gate. Of course, Seora was planning to block Sejun immediately after this transaction was over.
“It’s been a long time. The director will find it strange.”
After putting the jacket, Hit, and gloves in her inventory, she put on her suit again. As her hair was tidy and dusted, the miner who was blinded by money disappeared and the perfect civil servant returned.
Seora went out of the gate and stood in front of Do Junyoung proudly.
“We have completed the Level 3 dungeon raid.”
Seora looked at Do Junyoung while panting as if exhausted. However, the two black eyes sparkled with joy as if they had accomplished the mission given despite the suffering.
Sejun looked at her with a blank face, as if in disbelief.
He was not sure where on earth the person who had laughed like a maniac at the sight of mana stones had disappeared.
