Wings (1)

“How is it? Does it suit me well?”
“…”

Choi Mari showed a sensual charm with a seductive “woo~” from her mouth.

No, wait.
She is possessed by Barbatos.

“Hmm…”

Eh. I’m too lazy to say anything, so I decided to just call her Rabbit.

Yu Seha averted his gaze from the obscene bunny girl outfit.
He was about to ask Rabbit what she did to Senior Mari.
But before that, Ma Hana rushed over with a “mudadada-!” faster than anything.

“Muaah!”

Ma Hana ran out as if flying.
She instantly did a long jump.
Clinging to Yu Seha’s back, she covered both his eyes with her delicate hands.

Yu Seha shouted in surprise.

“Me, Meowi!?”
“Meow! Se, Seha, you can’t see this! It’s naughty. Naughty!”
“Mu, Meowi. Ah, I can’t see!”
“Muaah!”

It’s not just Ma Hana.
Familiar hands grabbed both arms.
The presences of Hung and Yong were naturally felt.

“…This is still too early for Seha to know!”
“That’s right, Yu Seha! I-if you want to see… I-I’ll wear it for you! Something shorter and sexier!”
“…!? Ju, Ju Na-young? What on earth are you talking about!”
“W-why! This might be a preference. If Seha wants it, won’t you wear it?”
“I-I might wear it, b-but… no matter what…”

A quarrel filled with meow and hungeng sounds.
Yu Seha couldn’t do anything and was caught by the three, sitting down right there.

Rabbit looked at this scene as if bewildered.
She quietly approached and patted his shoulder.

“…You have interesting companions.”
“…Ahem.”

A little later.
After the situation calmed down, Rabbit continued talking while touching Choi Mari’s chest here and there.

Yu Seha, equipped with Meowi’s delicate hand band.
He listened attentively to her words.

“It reminds me of my youth. Even though I look like this, I was quite beautiful. Especially when I walked around in human form, men would gape so much. I didn’t fight those who came to challenge the Tower but just dated a lot.”

Rabbit chuckled, thinking “Men are just like that…”
Soon, she said, “Hmm?”
She pinched her belly fat with her thumb and index finger.

“…Tsk. This woman. Looking at her now, she neglects her body. This belly fat comes from eating too many sweets. Born so pretty yet carrying such fat lumps… Tsk. That’s disappointing. I should make her exercise.”

“Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you’re going to do with Senior Mari.”

“Don’t worry. I told you, as an examiner, I recently regained self-awareness, so I can’t harm you. I only borrowed this body briefly for smooth test progress. I’ll return it when it’s all over.”

Rabbit said, “Anyway, let’s stop chatting and get started.”
She turned her body toward the board behind her.

She touched the first picture.
A scene of climbing a very tall mountain unfolded.

Made entirely of rocks,
It was a rocky mountain that looked rough at first glance.
Interestingly, it was painted all over with yellow.
Could that be electricity?

“The first test will be held here.”

Rabbit snapped her fingers, and the view went dark.
It was undoubtedly a teleportation magic using the power of the <Tower>.

They deliberately did not resist.
The girls felt the same way.

And soon, the huge mountain seen in the earlier picture appeared.

The mountain, exactly as drawn without a single line off,
Though it wasn’t obvious from the picture, it was bigger and taller than expected.

“…How many meters is this?”

As if hearing his thoughts, Rabbit answered.

“It’s a little over 150 meters. By the way, the mountain’s name is Thunder Mountain.”

Rabbit said, “It’s smaller than you think, right?”

Well, compared to a huge mountain, it could be considered small…

“…There’s no path to climb?”

That’s right.

The mountain was just a huge rock mass with no path at all.

Then Rabbit smiled and pointed her finger at the summit.

Their gaze naturally followed.
Thunder Mountain, the very top of the summit.

A single small tree was growing there.
A headband was hanging on the tip of that tree.

Yu Seha and the kids instinctively understood the test method.

“…We have to bring back that headband?”
“Yes. The time limit is 5 minutes. You can use any means. You just have to climb up and bring it back.”

At that, Moon Bora shouted indignantly.

“…Are you kidding? Climb this vertically standing mountain of this size and bring that back?”
“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. It’s a trial given by the Tower… Isn’t it weirder to think it will be solved easily?”

After finishing her words, Rabbit snapped her fingers.
The party instinctively tensed up.

They wondered if she was going to do something strange…?
What appeared was just an ordinary-looking treadmill.

Rabbit jumped up onto it.
She twisted Choi Mari’s body here and there and started running at top speed.
Then she cleverly continued speaking.

“Just to be clear, there’s no discrimination or personal feelings involved. I’m the Tower’s administrator who gives fair trials. But if I were to give a hint…”

Touch the mountain before climbing.

“That’s all.”

10 minutes later.
Yu Seha and the party gathered to hold a strategy meeting.
Moon Bora started first.

“Seha, how does the mountain feel when you touch it, as Barbatos said?”
“Electricity.”
“What?”
“There’s a lot of electricity flowing.”

It was just as Yu Seha said.

The name Thunder Mountain wasn’t given without reason.
The entire mountain was charged with intense electric current.

The yellow paint on the picture was a kind of hint.

Moon Bora frowned at the explanation.

<Lightning attribute> is the highest damage and fastest among all attributes.

It’s not easy to resist unless you have a solid countermeasure.

And they had to climb up and snatch it within 5 minutes.
They thought the test would be harder than expected.

But Yu Seha stretched his body as if it was no big deal.

“I’ll climb here.”
“Seha?!”
“Muaah?! Seha, no. Tingling! It’s painful and dangerous!”
“It’s okay. I’m immune to electricity.”
“Meow!?”

The Epic skill obtained after defeating the Four Divine Beasts’ Yellow Qilin.
The fourth option of [Roaring Thunder Strike].
100% immunity to <Lightning attribute>.

The overwhelmingly powerful ability finally had its moment to shine.

The party looked on with surprised eyes at the explanation.

Because everyone knew how absurd the immunity option was.

Yu Seha, fully stretched, gazed at Thunder Mountain.

Of course, it wouldn’t just be about electricity flowing.

He thought there would definitely be some trickery.

After a moment of thought, he looked at Ju Na-young.

“Ju Na-young. You said your leveled-up <Dragon Transformation> has attribute resistance, right?”
“Yong? Yeah. But the electricity that keeps going like that is a bit…”
“Don’t worry about that. I have an idea. More importantly… can you fly around the summit?”
“Uh, huh?”

Ju Na-young was flustered by Yu Seha’s question.
She did say she could fly for sure, but…
She was embarrassed about her appearance and didn’t want to show it to Yu Seha.

But the fact that he asked meant he needed help.
Ju Na-young quietly nodded.

“Yeah. I can.”
“…Of course, you can’t fly from here, right?”
“That’s impossible… I haven’t fully spread my wings… but I can glide or get some height.”
“Got it, good. Then I’ll tell you the plan.”

Yu Seha finished explaining the entire plan.
Without hesitation, he moved forward.
He approached Rabbit, who was sweating profusely running on the treadmill.

“Mau, mau! Mauu! Hmm, oh? Tsk? This body… even the way it talks is unique. Not like a comedy character…”
“Hey, we’re going to take the test.”
“Ah, so you’ve made a plan.”

Rabbit jumped down.
Soon, she took out a whistle from her cleavage.

“Are you ready?”
“Yong! Start!”
“Alright then, good luck?”

Piiiiik-!

The whistle sound rang out clearly.
In response, Moon Bora moved first.

She spread both hands and quickly arranged her spell.
Soon, thick ice pillars including three people shot up.
Their bodies floated briefly with the recoil.

“Muaah!”

The second was Ma Hana.
She drew the shield strapped to her back,
and gathered blue magic power.

She struck the ice pillar down,
and summoned a blue wolf the size of a human torso.

It wasn’t a real wolf.
It was just a pure mass of power made of magic.

Recently, a new power Ma Hana learned.
A derivative skill of <Kalis Shield Technique>, the 4th form.
It was [Fang Wolf].
It was a good utility skill for additional attacks and movement.

“Meow! Seha, Nayong!”

At Ma Hana’s signal, the two climbed onto the wolf.
The ‘Fang Wolf’ immediately started running.

Quick movements.
Sharp claws.

Claws dug into the smooth surface of Thunder Mountain’s rocks!
It began running, defying even the flow of gravity.

5 seconds.
10 seconds.
15 seconds.
The glorious 20 seconds.

Soon, the body of the ‘Fang Wolf’ began to break apart little by little.
Normally, its duration wouldn’t be this short.
The cause was the electricity flowing throughout Thunder Mountain.

The Fang Wolf, having endured as much as it could, let out a small howl.

Yu Seha expressed his gratitude.

“…Thanks for holding on well, Ju Na-young! Cling to my back!”
“Yo-yongg! Uh! Hey, I’m heavy, you know?”
“It’s okay, hurry up.”

At the urging, Ju Na-young hesitantly clung on.

Soon, a pleasant weight was felt.

‘…Heavy?’

Heavy? What are you talking about…
The ‘Nothung’ sword summoned and wielded was dozens of times heavier.

Apparently, he was still maintaining the diet he started during vacation.

Rather than the weight,
The unexpected sensation was more troublesome.

Jjulleong jjulleong-!
Soft and squishy-!
Squishy squishy-!
Dragon dragon-!

It was the feeling of Ju Na-young’s flame sac, swollen to the point it could no longer be hidden.

Recently, Ju Na-young had learned all the breath techniques from his mother, Ju Yeyong.

For the women of <Dragon Sword Mir>, the power of breath is directly connected to the chest.

Ju Na-young was already big.
Through this training, his sac grew almost as much as Moon Bora’s.

An enormous size approaching G~H cup.
This soon presented Yu Seha with a hell close to heaven.
Yu Seha suppressed his rising masculinity and spoke.

“Th-that. Ju Na-young. G-get a little away.”
“…Ah, no. I-I’m falling!”
“No, you’re strong! Just holding your shoulder-”
“-Yo-yongg, I don’t care! No!”

And the clever Ju Na-young didn’t miss this fact.
She noticed Yu Seha’s embarrassment.
Seizing the opportunity, she never let go.

‘I’m going to appeal to Yu Seha!’

A vow made at the amusement park.
Ju Na-young’s physical assault was still ongoing.

Such a squishy conversation ended as the ‘Fang Wolf’ completely disappeared.

Thud-!

Yu Seha naturally placed his foot on Thunder Mountain.

Soon, a tremendous electric current flowed through his body.

Most Awakened would surround their body with magic to resist attacks.

But Yu Seha instead placed the magic to protect himself around Ju Na-young’s body.

It was an action possible because he had something to rely on.

“Y-Yu Seha, are you okay?”
“I told you. I’m immune.”

Yu Seha took a breath.
Deep in his chest, the roaring noise echoed.

The unique image of Qilin was drawn on his upper body like a tattoo.
At the same time, dark clouds gathered over Thunder Mountain.

It was the essence and power of the divine beast ‘Qilin’.
It was a power that could cause natural disasters just by activating.

[‘Roaring Thunder Strike’ is activated.]
[The lightning of ‘Qilin’ follows your will.]
[Lightning attribute skill damage is increased by 300%. Lightning skill efficiency increases by 50%.]
[100% immunity to all ‘Lightning’ attribute damage.]
[The power of ‘Qilin’ affects the surrounding environment.]

Yu Seha smiled.
He glanced downward,
and saw Rabbit looking up, stunned.
She seemed surprised that he had such an absurd skill.

“Alright, then let’s see…”

Shall I start exploiting this properly?
