Chapter 68
I can definitely feel it.
After defeating the Queen Black Tuna and reaching level 30, Jae-Hyeok’s stats had undergone a significant change. He’d become much stronger.
[Strength: 129], [Stamina: 129], [Agility: 100], [Magic: 129], [Insight: 100]
All his stats had entered the triple digits—including Agility and Insight, which had only increased by 1 point each, but the difference between 99 and 100 stats points was huge. It felt like his vision and senses had doubled, so it took him a whole day to get used to it.
Jae-Hyeok used Two Scythes Block a Cart while drawing his sword, and his outstretched arm suddenly changed its path according to the fixed movement necessary for activating the Skill.
He called this trick normal-attack canceling. It was a method of creating an unpredictable attack by triggering a Skill motion during a normal attack.
It ignored the laws of physics and put a tremendous burden on his body. The first time Jae-Hyeok had attempted it, he’d broken his arm and had to wear a cast. But now, he was fine.
Good.
It was due to the growth of his bones and muscles as his level increased. His body was firm and flexible enough to withstand normal-attack canceling around three times in a row.
This is why people increase their levels.
Before awakening, it had been hard for him to feel the growth in his body. Through his consistent training, he had only vaguely felt his muscles becoming stronger after months of hard work. But now that he’d become a player, Jae-Hyeok felt like he was being reborn daily. After every few days, he made the same progress that he usually sensed only after months or years of hard training.
