Chapter 302: Humanity Cantons – Dwarf Kingdom (2)
[Absorbed the power of 72nd ranked Andromalius.]
[Absorbed the power of 71st ranked Dantalion.]
[70th ranked Seere’s……]
．
．
．
[Absorbed the power of 61st ranked Jagan.]
[Due to the influence of absorbing Jet Black Power, 『Parallel Imprinting
』 is fading.]
[Remaining Imprinting: Approximately 65.6% → 43.7%]
▶Kyung-joon: Lv.325 → Lv.483
Kyung-joon had been busy running around for about 4 weeks trying to break the Demon King’s seal.
After absorbing all the devils from 72nd to 61st place and turning them into residents of his territory.
Kyung-joon moved on to take care of a completely different matter.
That matter was in the Humanity Cantons, where the dwarves lived, in the ‘Flame Hammer Dwarf Clan’.
[You are the first player to enter the Flame Hammer Dwarf Clan.]
[Fame has increased by 500.]
As soon as Kyung-joon came out of the Warp Gate, a huge entrance gate welcomed him, just like in the Dael Alliance.
Unlike the Dael Alliance’s gate, which was simply huge and magnificent.
A huge gate decorated with colorful sparkling jewels, gold, silver, platinum, and all kinds of dazzling metals.
Moreover, its geometric shape also clearly showed that enormous technology was put into it.
This was the technology of the dwarves, which had been continuously developed for hundreds and thousands of years.
“Wow, I knew it roughly, but the dwarf technology is really amazing?”
Kyung-joon marveled as he walked, looking at the gate that was getting bigger and bigger.
Usually, when he sees someone with better skills or abilities than himself, he tends to be jealous first.
But Kyung-joon was rather delighted.
Because all of this technology was soon going to be his.
<If we can get the cooperation of the dwarves, we can develop the territory as well as other research very quickly.>
“That’s why I came here. Let’s think about how to do that when we get there.”
Kyung-joon quickened his excited steps and came near the gate.
Then it suddenly became noisy.
━Oh, man……It’s bad enough that they raised taxes to repair the collapsed walls, but these lousy blacksmiths raised the prices several times higher than their height~
━Watch your mouth! The gatekeepers might hear you. Isn’t it a reality that we can’t protect our territory or our castle if we can’t buy them here?
━I have some good information I heard from a fairy friend of mine. They say Arc-en-Ciel, you know, the tower that was ruined, released an item called ‘Energy Bombard (MK7) Scroll’? You gotta buy this too.
An endless line.
They were all people who had come to the Flame Hammer Dwarf Clan to buy weapons.
The line went on and on.
It took several minutes for one person to enter and exit the front of the line due to immigration procedures, tax exemption procedures, and so on.
“Wow, there are even people waiting in tents.”
<The number of foreigners allowed inside is limited.>
<The number of people looking for weapons from the Flame Hammer Dwarf Clan has increased dramatically recently as the mutated monsters have become much stronger and more numerous.>
<It’s all thanks to Master.>
<^오^>
“Haha, I’m a little sorry about this.”
But there is always chaos in the pursuit of a greater good.
Kyung-joon shrugged and went to the back of the line……
He didn’t, and just walked past the line to the front of the gate.
━Hey, you! That’s not a shortcut! That’s the dwarf-only lane.
━Leave him alone, haha. Sometimes there are guys who think they’re all that and try to go that way, only to get stuck at the entrance and cause a scene.
━Make sure he doesn’t cut in line!
People in line showed various reactions as they watched Kyung-joon pass by.
Kyung-joon didn’t cut in line, but they didn’t like him just walking by.
<Line Management Officer>
▼Dwarf Official (NPC)
“Hey, mister! If you want to get in, you have to get in line here!”
Finally, the dwarf official in charge of managing the line tried to stop Kyung-joon and gave him a piece of his mind.
However, Kyung-joon did not stop walking.
He didn’t even respond.
Thump. Thump.
He just kept walking towards the gate.
“Hey, mister! Are you deaf?! I said you have to wait in line here if you want to get in! Oh, man, this is such a pain!”
The dwarf official grumbled and moved his feet as if he was about to run.
He closed the distance between himself and Kyung-joon.
When he was within arm’s reach.
“Hey, mister!”
The dwarf official grabbed Kyung-joon’s arm to stop him.
Or, he tried to.
Swoosh.
His hand went right through Kyung-joon’s arm.
“Huh, huh?”
The dwarf official was momentarily flustered.
“W, What the……? Am I just tired……?”
The dwarf official rubbed his eyes and looked ahead again.
Thump, thump.
Kyung-joon was still walking with the same gait as before, without looking back.
“Tsk……I guess my eyes are going crazy from managing this line all day……”
The dwarf official thought he had just seen things because he was too tired.
“Hey, mister! Just wait a second!”
He moved his feet quickly again and tried to grab Kyung-joon.
He reached out his hand again to grab Kyung-joon’s arm……
Swoosh.
He missed and went right through.
“Oh, oh?! W, What the……!”
This time he saw it clearly.
He clearly grabbed the arm, but it went right through.
In other words, he didn’t grab it.
“Ugh!”
Thud!
The dwarf official ran and tried to hug Kyung-joon with his whole body.
Swoosh.
But this time, he couldn’t grab Kyung-joon and only hit the ground.
Swoosh.
Kyung-joon passed right through the dwarf official’s arms.
“W, What in the……!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
No matter how much he swung his arms, he couldn’t grab Kyung-joon.
“Ha! Ugh?!”
Thud!
Even when he threw his whole body, he just passed through Kyung-joon and hit the ground.
Thump. Thump.
Thump. Thump.
No matter what the dwarf official did behind him, Kyung-joon kept walking, and.
He arrived at the front of the immigration gate.
<Immigration Officer>
▼Dwarf Official (NPC)
“Hey, you! If you want to pass here, you have to go over there and wait in line from the begi……Huh?!”
Swoosh.
<Gatekeeper Officer>
▼Dwarf Official (NPC)
“You can’t go any furth……Huh?!”
Swoosh.
<Line Management Officer>
▼Dwarf Official (NPC)
“Stop him! Don’t let that human get through the gate!”
Swoosh.
Kyung-joon passed through all the officers one by one.
And the last immigration gate as well.
Swoosh.
Kyung-joon passed through it as if it were nothing.
“……”
“……”
“……”
Silence fell between the dwarf officials gathered at the gate.
And about 5 seconds later.
“H, He’s an illegal immigrant!”
“Contact the higher-ups right now!”
“Get the Public Security and catch him!”
Kyung-joon became an illegal immigrant.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Kyung-joon kept walking even after passing through the gate.
<Walking down the street>
▼Dwarf Citizen (NPC)
“Hey, that’s a dead end. Huh?!”
Swoosh.
If there was a wall in front of him, he went right through it.
<Cooking>
▼Dwarf Resident (NPC)
“Argh?! How did you get in here?! Huh?!”
Swoosh.
If there was a stranger’s house in front of him, he went right through it.
<Acting like a thug>
▼Dwarf Resident (NPC)
“What the, do you even know whose turf this is?”
“Get out of here if you don’t want to get beaten up.”
“This bastard, I’m gonna hit you with my newly forged Black Hammer Lightning Sword……Huh?!”
Swoosh.
Even if there were rough dwarves gathered in front of him, he just went right through them.
Only in a straight line.
Kyung-joon didn’t change his direction one bit, no matter what was in front of him, and just walked in a straight line.
Not long after he started walking like that, a group of people chasing after Kyung-joon appeared in front of him.
<Armed with crossbows>
▼Dwarf Public Security (NPC)
“Stop right there! You illegal immigrant!”
“Stop, get on your knees, clasp your hands behind your back, and raise them!”
“Or we’ll shoot!”
The Dwarf Public Security officers had surrounded and blocked Kyung-joon’s front.
Since Kyung-joon wasn’t wearing his hero title and was hiding his name, the officers didn’t recognize him.
But this was all part of Kyung-joon’s plan.
Kyung-joon ignored them and kept walking.
“Ugh……! Just shoot him and subdue him!”
The officers pulled the triggers of their crossbows.
Whoosh!
Dozens of crossbow arrows flew towards Kyung-joon’s legs!
Swoosh.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
But the arrows all passed through Kyung-joon’s legs and just hit the ground behind him.
“W, What in the……!”
“It’s a ghost! Load the crossbows with holy arrows!”
“Fire!”
Fwoosh!
Crackle! Crackle!
The holy arrows, baptized by the Holy Cross, drew yellow sparks as they shot towards Kyung-joon.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
But just like the regular arrows, they only pierced the ground.
Swoosh.
Kyung-joon passed through the officers unharmed and continued walking forward.
“W, What is that thing……!”
“We can’t catch it……! It just passes right through……!”
“Ugh……! Contact the higher-ups and get more ghost-specific strategic weapons! The ones with a lot of holy power!”
“Damn it, holy weapons are expensive because of the holy water……Fine, I got it!”
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
How long did Kyung-joon walk?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A huge explosion of flames erupted.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Hundreds of arrows were stuck in the ground.
Crackle! Crackle!
Powerful lightning ripped through the air.
Fwoosh!
A water cannon made entirely of holy water pierced through the middle of the road.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The dwarves’ steel shields, said to block anything, formed a wall in front of them.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Thud! Thud! Thud! Crackle! Crackle! Fwoosh!
All sorts of attempts and attacks were thrown at Kyung-joon.
But no matter what was thrown at him.
Swoosh.
Kyung-joon just passed through them unharmed and kept walking in a straight line.
Saaaaaaa……
Kyung-joon walked out through the smoke.
He didn’t have a scratch on him.
“Ugh! It didn’t work this time either?!”
“T, That’s impossible……How can he still be standing after being hit by that……”
“He wasn’t hit! He just passed through!”
“Catch him no matter what! He’s heading for the Blue House! Right now, the 7th is in a meeting with the delegation from the Fael Alliance inside the Blue House! You must not let him in!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Even more powerful attacks than before rained down on Kyung-joon.
<Master, how are you? Are you tired?>
“Nope. I’m still perfectly fine. I absorbed from 72nd to 61st, so just how strong was the Demon King?”
The reason why Kyung-joon was able to pass through any physical or magical phenomenon unharmed.
It was all thanks to the even more powerful Jet Black Power.
To be precise……
[Sacrificing a portion of Jet Black Power to activate the effect of the artifact 『※Black World Tree』.]
※Mythical item obtained from the 1st class advancement in Volume 4 Chapter 23.
[Altering the laws of the world.]
[Limiting the scope of alteration to the player’s body.]
[Using the player’s mana to execute the alteration.]
[Legendary magic 『Quantum Tunneling』 ]
[Maximizing the Planck constant to allow all physical and magical effects acting on the player’s body to pass through.]
“I couldn’t even dream of using quantum magic before because of the output.”
<You will be able to use even more powerful quantum magic if you absorb more devils from 60th place onwards.>
“Yeah. I was just thinking about the uncertainty principle while walking, and I came up with a rough idea for a spell.”
The artifact Black World Tree, which allows him to alter the laws of the world.
Kyung-joon’s knowledge, which he had studied for an incredibly long time in the singularity during his fight with the Half-and-Half Dragon.
And the even more powerful Jet Black Power he gained from breaking the Demon King’s seal.
The combination of these three things gave birth to the 『Quantum Magic』 that Kyung-joon uses.
And the beginning of that is the ‘Quantum Tunneling’ that Kyung-joon is using now.
(※The reason he doesn’t fall through the floor is that Kyung-joon is using Vector Calculus to walk.)
Thump, thump, thump.
Thump, thump, thump.
Thump, thump, thump.
Thud.
Kyung-joon finally stopped walking.
“It’s an honor to meet you. King of the Dwarves, who creates all things.”
The place where Kyung-joon stopped was right in the middle of the Blue House, where a meeting was taking place.
<Leader of the Flame Hammer Dwarf Clan>
<7th Redbeard>
▼Lothar Zwitter (NPC)
“……And who might you be? I don’t recall inviting you to this meeting.”
The red-bearded dwarf looked down at the intruder from his iron throne.
