"Haa…"
"is something bothering you Secretary Gen?" Her assistant asked, but Irumi shook her head no.
The assistant was a little nervous if he had made a mistake since Irumi rarely ever showed her emotions. He carefully walked out with his paperwork.
Although Kwon Je declared his retirement, a strong internal and external backlash made his escape plan messy. The existence of authority was in itself a symbol. America's affairs have been solved so now, they only need to focus on the Dragon Raid.
The secretary's office was filled with sighs.
"is Jaehwang okay?"
"Are you worried about him?"
"Yes."
Sinduk, who had been reconstructed by Goongi and now completely gained his sanity, served as a good adviser to Irumi. Of course, when Jaehwang went to practice and left the palace, he left the place, he even got comfortable and expressing Jaehwang, the master of Goongi, as "that dude".
Irumi had been fully informed of the change in the training room where Jaehwang had locked the door. While everything that they needed was provided for them there, Irumi, who keeps track of the reports, had found one strange thing.
"They don't use any water at all. No waste either"
You can drink bottled water and pile up trash when you eat, but the problem was that even toilet water was not used. Electricity was being used, of course, although small.
"In the past, such training was common. One replenishes only a minimum of water and falls into training without breaking concentration."
"Isn't 50 days too much?"
No matter how much a hunter's body is superhuman, minimal physiology is required but if they were to check their reports, they won't even be able to see a trace of it.
"The Martial Arts House guys are quite intense. You don't know, but when the Martial Arts House guys are born they don't cry, they say, 'I'm an intense guy.'"
"Ancestor."
"OK. I can't say anything."
Was the extinction of the Changgung Family caused by the Martial Arts House? Sinduk had a natural antagonism towards the Martial Arts House, but after decades of discovering a precious bloodline, Irumi, and knowing what Irumi thinks of Jaehwang, Sinduk tried to close his sore mouth.
"I have to go." Irumi got up from her seat.
She was told never to come in uninvited, but she could not leave it as it is even if they scorn her. Irumi hurriedly stepped, trying hard to shake off from her mind the nagging feeling that something might be wrong. Soon, she stopped in front of the large iron gate that was five meters tall.
This was a private training center of Kwon Je. There was a separate one for Jaehwang but now, the only place where Jaehwang can train within the Invincible was Kwon Je's training room.
Irumi sighed again and took a deep breath in front of the panel on the lock.
This was because it violates Jaehwang's command which she usually obeys religiously. She hesitated for a bit, then, she finally tried to enter her master code, and the SEALED button on the lock changed to UNSEALED. This meant that the door was released from the inside.
Surprised Irumi calmed her heart and carefully pressed the OPEN button.
*Click*Creak*Pshhh*Shhhh*
The binding device on the top, bottom, left and right was released and the iron gate opened slowly. There, she saw a rotten red color floating between the heavy doors.
Irumi walked to the door with her head in the light of that unknown sight, and what she saw inside was…
"*GASP!!*"
Irumi closed her mouth. Ther radiating energy did not only surprise her but it also directly affected her spirit.
"What···. What?"
The training center was quite large.
It was about 100 meters wide and 50 meters tall. It was ridiculously wide for a single person to use, but now, he was lying in this huge space as if it was cramped.
The giant head moved slowly toward her. She knew that the head was a living thing, but its size was so ridiculous. Nevertheless, it didn't feel like a monster at all, rather, it felt sacred.
The giant's head stopped at Irumi. Its eyes were as big as her already.
"What's up?"
The cold voice dug directly into Irumi's head.
Irumi asked, accustomed to this type of conversation while talking with Sinduk.
"Who are you?"
"I? I..." The voice was about to introduce himself, but the nervous voice of Sinduk interrupted her.
"Goongi… Goongi's real body!"
"Uh, Sinduk, that would be 'your highness' Goongi?"
"Eeek, my lady!"
Sinduk was using his normal way of talking with Irumi but was unluckily caught by Goongi.
"Are you Goongi?"
"You shit, I'll deal with you later. By the way, it would be the first time you're seeing me like this."
"Yes."
Jaehwang previously introduced Goongi to Irumi as she began to show herself in public because she needed so much to get accustomed to the human world.
At the time, she was a beauty with red hair. There was a feeling that the energy flowing around her was not like a human. Jaehwang also told her that she was not human. Although it was not detailed, he also said some mysteriousness related to her family, but Irumi never imagined that she would look like this.
It's so huge that she couldn't even see the whole thing, but if she were to describe it, it looked like the head of a tiger with red hair. Of course, it's not just about big tigers, the energy that she felt made her nervous.
In particular, its big eyes were exuding dignity that would cause them to kneel down to the ground if they lost their focus even a little.
"Jaehwang said you or Kwon Je might come to visit."
"I see, then where is Jaehwang?"
"Jaehwang? This is a bit uncomfortable..."
Goongi flipped over her giant body and pulled up one of her forelimbs. Its appearance was like a red cloud rising up into the sky. When she lifted her paw, they saw an egg—no, they saw a green marble surrounded by a layer of red energy.
"Where is Jaehwang?"
"Jaehwang? He's here."
What is that?"
"Well. That's hard to explain too. Originally, it was made with my own power, but the energy of Jaehwang was mixed in, and it was changed like that. Thanks to him, I can't interfere with him now either. It feels bad man... You know how lonely that place is...
"Huh?"
"Never mind, do you have any questions?"
"Yeah, how is he doing?"
"Stop, you are only allowed to ask this far. If you weren't Jaehwang 's treasurer, you wouldn't have seen my body like this. Just go back and wait."
*WIND*
At Goongi's words, Irumi felt that her body was stepping back. It wasn't magic, she exercised her divinity that cannot be rejected, however, she tried to struggle against it."
"Hoho…." Goongi looked at Irumi, who disobeyed her words, and now who caught her interest.
This meant that aside from mere strength, her soul is of considerable size. But even then, she was nothing compared to Goongi. Google's eyes turned thin.
"Even if you are an acquaintance of Jaehwang, I won't forgive you twice.
"One... please tell me one thing."
"What?"
Irumi, who thought for a moment, opened her mouth in a trembling voice. "Is Jaehwang still human?"
Goongi smiled as if she was pleased with the question. She thought she would ask if Jaehwang was still okay, but it's quite an insightful question.
"Human? Yes, at least for now he is."
"At least for now?" Irumi asked back.
"That I don't know. If he will choose the path of the demigod or to remain as a human, that is his alone."
"Demigod? What do you mean…"
"Stop! I only allowed you to ask a single question. Go back for now and don't worry, I'm the one who's taking care of him."
With those words, a force incomparable to the previous one swept Irumi away. Then, the iron gate closed firmly.
Irumi then asked Sinduk, "Ancestor, you know what is going on right?"
"Yeah, somewhat"
"What is that?"
"From what I am feeling from the highness's words and egg, I think Jaehwang is going through some kind of transformation but what that is, I can't explain either. I can only say that he is getting much stronger."
At Sinduk's words, Irumi silently gazed at the iron gate.
Looking at Irumi's silence, Sinduk tried to hide his sympathy.
There was one thing he found out that he did not tell Irumi. He wasn't sure if he needed to go in every detail with his descendant. The truth will become a huge pain to Irumi, who had feelings for Jaehwang.
Sinduk closed his mouth shut.
'He is getting rid of his human shell'
Jaehwang's human self was drifting away.
#2
*light crunching sound*
A thin crack went through the surface of the turquoise-colored marble. It seemed to stop for a while but then, the crack started spreading out all over the bead. And then, as if something was sucking it from the inside, it was shattered and was absorbed until it revealed a man that wore no clothes.
A tall man with white skin and sculptural skin was hanging black and long hair on the floor as if he had never been shaved. As if the time had stopped, the man sat still with his legs crossed. Goongi, who had watched all of this before the marble was broken, just looked at him.
Soon the man's mouth opened and a shallow sigh flowed out.
"Hou…" Jaehwang sighed as he slowly opened his eyes just to meet Goongi, who was staring at him with her face close.
Anyone else would faint, but Jaehwang just looked at her eyes without changing his expression.
"You saw through it until the end."
"How long has it been?"
"Exactly 53 days and 3 hours."
Jaehwang looked at his body at her response.
He was in Goongi Prison for too long and it was not easy for him to get used to those changes. One day there was one year in that prison. He had spent 53 years inside it. She tried to intervene with his training in between. It would normally be an impossible thing, but she had the powers to do so.
But even so, Jaehwang rejected her.
Just like that, he spent 53 years alone in the Goongi Prison.
"It's not as bad as I thought it would be."
He hasn't eaten anything for 53 days so he should be in a horrible condition but by his appearance, he looked much better than before. While Jaehwang was checking his body, Goongi said annoyingly.
"Why did you have to stay so long?"
"No, I only used about 20 years… rest…hmm…"
Inside the prison, Jaehwang focused on the Chintamani Hemolysis or rather correctly, he focused on the Chintamani jewel and tried to melt it with Hemolysis. For the first few years, it did not even budge. If he had fully understood the Hemolysis and finished training but the Chintamani still didn't show any signs, he would have given up mid-way.
The Goongi Prison was indeed lonely.
Jaehwang tried to keep his human memories by waking up on schedule and eating at the same time, but at one point he gave up on that also. How much time must have passed? He even forgot about the time and focused on the Chintamani Hemolysis, and now, here he was.
'Status Window'
Jaehwang habitually called up his Status Window.
Status Windows were the fastest way of analyzing his progress but even after a long wait, his Status Window did not appear.
"Hmm, what is happening?"
"What?"
"My Status Window…"
Goongi let out a deep sigh. "Are you dumb. You can't measure yourself with such an archaic system anymore"
"What?"
"You're not a hunter anymore… well, if you want that, you can make one yourself."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Jaehwang looked at his body at her response.He was in Goongi Prison for too long and it was not easy for him to get used to those changes. One day there was one year in that prison. He had spent 53 years inside it. She tried to intervene with his training in between. It would normally be an impossible thing, but she had the powers to do so.But even so, Jaehwang rejected her.Just like that, he spent 53 years alone in the Goongi Prison."It's not as bad as I thought it would be."He hasn't eaten anything for 53 days so he should be in a horrible condition but by his appearance, he looked much better than before. While Jaehwang was checking his body, Goongi said annoyingly."Why did you have to stay so long?""No, I only used about 20 years resthmm"Inside the prison, Jaehwang focused on the Chintamani Hemolysis or rather correctly, he focused on the Chintamani jewel and tried to melt it with Hemolysis. For the first few years, it did not even budge. If he had fully understood the Hemolysis and finished training but the Chintamani still didn't show any signs, he would have given up mid-way.The Goongi Prison was indeed lonely.Jaehwang tried to keep his human memories by waking up on schedule and eating at the same time, but at one point he gave up on that also. How much time must have passed? He even forgot about the time and focused on the Chintamani Hemolysis, and now, here he was.'Status Window'Jaehwang habitually called up his Status Window.Status Windows were the fastest way of analyzing his progress but even after a long wait, his Status Window did not appear. "Hmm, what is happening?""What?""My Status Window" Goongi let out a deep sigh. "Are you dumb. You can't measure yourself with such an archaic system anymore""What?""You're not a hunter anymore well, if you want that, you can make one yourself."
