In an instant, a soaring ice wall appeared like a shield in front of Siwoo.

The spears that were shot were stuck in the wall without piercing it.

But that wasn’t the end,

Siwoo concentrated his mana in his palms.

As if forcibly blocking a rough wave, the mana that was concentrated in one place swelled dangerously as if it was about to burst out.

Siwoo brought the mana to the ice wall.

The moment he released the mana like a dam filled with water,

KUGUGUGUG. . . CHEK,

KWAAAAAAAAANG!

The mana that burst out tore through space and exploded.

Broken ice shards became sharp fragments and stabbed into all directions like blades.

Moreover, the spears that were stuck in the ice wall also flew away, adding to the power of the explosion.

“KUEOK!”

“Damn it. . . Shit. . .”

“Du, Du-mo-ok!”

“That bastard, that son of a b*tch magic. . .!”

Groans and screams erupted everywhere.

From those who were pierced by spears to those who were bleeding profusely from ice shards embedded here and there.

There was no one standing normally.

They had never dreamed that the [𝐈𝐜𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥] he had set up for defense would turn into fragments and attack.

It was then.

One of the bleeding gang members limped dangerously into a corner.

“KULUK! GUEEEEUK!”

He lifted a roughly covered boulder and pulled out a small glass bottle from the leather bag inside.

Then he poured it into his mouth.

What was he doing in this urgent situation?

【𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥? 𝕀𝕤 𝕚𝕥 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕔𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤? ℂ𝕒𝕟 𝕀 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕥𝕠𝕠?】

“Well. It looks like some kind of power-up.”

Siwoo watched the whole process without stopping him.

He thought that what the perpetrator had ‘eaten’ might be the real reason for their resistance.

He was right.

“KUEUK!”

Less than 5 seconds after eating, his body began to change.

The muscles in his body were visibly expanding.

【𝕊𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕘𝕦𝕪’𝕤 𝕞𝕒𝕟𝕒 𝕚𝕤 𝕚𝕟𝕔𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒𝕓𝕟𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪.】

Siwoo took a defensive stance after hearing Pre’s voice.

The mana of the man who had been so ordinary just a moment ago was now increasing explosively.

“It’s a drug.”

Not an ordinary drug, but one for Awakeners to increase their abilities.

【𝔸 𝕕𝕣𝕦𝕘? 𝔻𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕖𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕥? 𝕀𝕤 𝕚𝕥 𝕥𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕪? ℂ𝕒𝕟 𝕀 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕥𝕠𝕠?】

“. . . . . . .”

You eat it, and I don’t know about the taste, but it will make you feel good.

I went to catch magic stone thieves and ended up catching drug dealers.

I don’t know, but it must be a different kind of crime than ordinary drug dealing.

Siwoo cracked his neck.

Thanks to the appearance of an interesting opponent, he felt a little more motivated.

【𝔻𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕓𝕚𝕘𝕘𝕖𝕣 𝕚𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕕𝕣𝕦𝕘𝕤? ℂ𝕒𝕟 𝕀 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕓𝕚𝕘𝕘𝕖𝕣 𝕥𝕠𝕠?】

“Well. We’ll find out if we ask.”

Heavy footsteps approached Siwoo.

The opponent’s body had grown two or three times larger like the Hulk.

KOONG. KOONG. KOONG.

The swollen muscles tore through his clothes and veins bulged on his face.

It was a different level from ordinary doping.

However, Siwoo looked at him and clicked his tongue.

“You’re so ugly. You don’t seem to be very popular with women.”

“You bastard!”

The man, flushed with humiliation, started running.

KUNG! KUNG!

“Damn it, dodge!!”

The man extended his huge fist.

It was a fast speed that didn’t match his large size.

Siwoo received the man’s fist head-on while in guard.

It wasn’t because he couldn’t dodge because it was too fast, but because he wanted to experience how strong it was.

PUUEOK!

A loud noise rang out as if a huge hammer had hit cement.

An ordinary person would probably have died, and a low-level Hunter would have had their arm bones shattered.

Siwoo flew back about ten meters and quickly regained his balance.

“You’re stronger than I thought?”

He exclaimed in admiration, brushing off the dust on his body.

Even though he had only circulated a small amount of mana, he felt like a cold sensation was spreading through his forearm.

I don’t know if it’s a drug that works well on weak people, or if it’s a drug that gets stronger in proportion to the user.

In any case, it’s definitely a huge advantage to increase your abilities.

There must be a lot of demand for it.

“I’ll gouge out your eyes and shove them in your government dog mouth.”

The opponent became arrogant.

After seeing Siwoo get hit and fly away, he realized his own increased strength.

He clenched and unclenched his fists as he approached Siwoo.

A murderous aura spread throughout the factory.

However,

“How long does the drug last?”

Siwoo asked out of the blue.

The opponent paused for a moment.

“. . . .It’ll last about 10 minutes. You’ll be dead before that.”

“10 minutes. It’s a bit boring to wait for all that.”

Siwoo muttered, stroking his chin.

He wanted to see the after-effects of the awakening, but 10 minutes was too long for him to wait.

“Huff, huff, I’ll smash your head in so you won’t have time to be bored.”

The man punched again.

This time, he must have infused it with mana, because a faint aura could be seen coming from his fist.

“You’re too slow.”

When he decided to dodge, the opponent’s fist didn’t even graze Siwoo.

Like watching a fight between David and Goliath, the huge body was swung around by an opponent smaller than him.

“Damn it! This is bullshit!”

Siwoo didn’t fall for the man’s provocation and let his fist slip by.

“Have you attacked enough now?”

“KUEUK! Just one more! If I hit you! You’re finished! This bastard!”

The gang member gasped for breath, unable to hide his exhaustion.

Siwoo enjoyed himself for a while, then broke the opponent’s arm and knocked him to the ground.

“KUEOK!”

“Now, let’s begin.”

PPAGAGAGAK!

“KIAAAAK!”

The opponent screamed as his shoulder shattered.

“I don’t know if drugs are that good. Maybe it’s because you’re too weak.”

“KUE. . . You son of a b*tch. . .”

“Or maybe you’re just a loudmouth.”

Siwoo kicked the man’s ribs with his foot.

The bone must have broken, because the man rolled around on the floor in pain.

“That’s so noisy.”

Siwoo kicked the man’s jaw with the tip of his foot.

The sound of bones breaking rang out as the man collapsed to the side.

Wriggle. Wriggle.

Blood bubbles flowed out of the man’s mouth, whose jawbone had been shattered.

The drug dealers who witnessed the sight were speechless, their mouths agape.

“If you’ve been hit enough, go quietly. If you don’t like it, get beaten up and taken away.”

Siwoo snapped his fingers at the remaining men.
