In fact, Yu-Seong could understand why Loki would feel so upset after being compared to Odin, who he dreadfully hated. He quickly apologized, "I own up to my mistake, it was too harsh. Im sorry!"
Do those on gods throne always hear the voice of the hunter they kept their eyes on? Yu-Seong sincerely gave a short apology though the answer was unknown. Of course, that apology didn't just escape his lips without any thought. Through that message, Yu-Seong immediately realized what he had first missed.
It can be fused.
In general, the inheritance skills were often impossible to fuse. The twin snakes biting their tails was one such example. This was because of the strong characteristics of the god who inherited the skill. However, the Disturbing Dance Moves skill did not seem to be of that kind.
But it looks quite similar to the Fancy Disco that I got rid of in the early days
The difference was that it was an emission-type skill, which was the most favored skill-type among the psychic skills.
What the heck does he expect me to use it for?
Unlike back then, Yu-Seong smiled brightly and immediately invoked his Fusion skill. As a result, among the skills he had for now, a skill that could be called the strongest in terms of general attack had been born.

Yu-Seong's dungeon racing was over. After checking the records and reviewing them once more, the two reporters packed their bags and headed out of the dungeon square to their affiliated media. Then, all night long, they scribbled the article, added a video, and pressed the update button early in the morning when the other employees started to head to their work.
Park Jin-Hwan, the Min-Guk Newspapers reporter, immediately checked the main screen of one of the rival media companiesthe Dae-Guk Newspaper. He then sighed with a fairly relieved look. "Its not up yet."
"What is not up? Sunbae-nim, [1] did you stay up all night to write an article? Seo Yu-Rim, a junior in her third year with the Min-Guk Newspaper, approached Jin-Hwan and asked. She thought that Jin-Hwan looked like hell.
"Of course. It feels kind of bad to be pushed to second place when theres an opportunity to report on big issues such as this, Jin-Hwan said. He smiled like a winner. As if nothing could fluster him, he once again refreshed the Dae-Guk Newspapers main website.
Unbelievable! Goblin's recent DBB record has been broken! Who's the man of the hour?
- Reporter Kim Jin-Young
Im sure I was a minute faster. And the title of my article is better. Its my victory, Kim Jin-Young, haha, Jin-Hwan gloated.
"Oh, you competed with reporter Kim from the Dae-Guk Newspaper. By the way, theres a new record for Goblin dungeon racing? Umm... Who was first place before?"
"Kim Do-Jin."
"What? Someone broke his record? Who? Seo Yu-Rim grabbed Jin-Hwan's mouse and tried to head over to the article posted by Jin-Young, since she was simply too curious. Just before she could do so, she cried out, "Ouch!"
"Oh, not that way. Youre going to raise the competitors number of views."
Jin-Hwan slapped the back of Yu-Rims hand, naturally took over the mouse, and clicked on the Min-Guk Newspapers main website.
"I made a mistake. By the way, the article... Oh, my goodness, is this real? Yu-Rim asked after just reading the title. Before even reading the entire article, she widened her eyes and covered her mouth in shock.
The fool of the chaebol group? Not anymore! Hes a talented conglomerate! Choi Yu-Seong has beaten Kim Do-Jin and made an 'overwhelming' new record.
"Would I put this on the main page as a joke? We even filmed everything with drones.
"Wow, he's the Choi Yu-Seong I know of, right?
"If you're talking about Choi Yu-Seong, whos the best incompetent rascal and drunkard in the Korean Financial World Youre right."
Seo Yu-Rims jaw fell to the floor in disbelief. She clicked on the video at the top of the article. Then, the first thing she did was check the videos total duration.
1 hour, 59 minutes, 26 seconds.
Park Jin-Hwan could guess what Yu-Rim was thinking, so he said with a smile, "For your information, it's a full version without any editing. I didn't even have time to do that."
"...What was Kim Do-Jin's record?
"2 hours, 28 minutes, and 33 seconds."
"Then, there's about...a 30-minute difference?
"It's crazy, right?
Yu-Rim couldnt have expressed it any better herself. Out of sheer disbelief, she shouted, "You're lying!
As she pressed the video playback button, her shout had attracted the other reporters of Min-Guk Newspaper who were just arriving at work. They began to flock around Park Jin-Hwans monitor.
"What's going on?"
"Hey, reporter Park, did you catch another big one?
"A picture is worth a thousand words. You guys should just watch the video." Park Jin-Hwan comfortably leaned back in his chair and shifted the monitor screen for everyones easy viewing. Then, he watched their backs with his arms folded.
Those who came a little late and couldn't get past the crowd to take a look at the monitor quickly turned their computers on. They checked the video by clicking on the article which was on the main banner of their own companys website.
There was a long silence. A long time was passing everyone by, but no one seemed to care.
"Wow, awesome!"
"Is that really Choi Yu-Seong?"
"His entrance level is 91? Should I buy Comet Group stock now?"
Hey, reporter Park. Did you spread this on foreign media?! The Min-Guk Newspapers editor-in-chief, who was silently watching the video among the employees, urgently asked Jin-Hwan.
"Of course I did," Jin-Hwan answered with a smile. He raised two fingers in the shape of a V.
"Good job. That's amazing. Its a big hit, a really big hit. Great job, reporter Park!"
"Wow... It would be crazy if its plastered on foreign media."
Choi Yu-Seong, wouldnt he get a nickname right away?
"Why dont we give him one ourselves?"
Everyone looked extremely excited, just like the time when Kim Do-Jin had first cleared the dungeon.
Park Jin-Hwan, who had been trying his best to remain calm until now, stood up and also took part in the reporters enthusiastic talk. He chimed in, "The progress itself was quite smart, and it was amazing that he found a hidden secret passageway.
"That second skill, right? At first glance, it looked like a tracking system, but doesnt it look like some kind of sensory skill upon second glance? I dont think he found the secret passage with that skill.
"If he has a super-sensory skill, it's actually hard to say that he is just a regular hunter."
"But what's slightly strange is that Choi Yu-Seong's behavior was so natural. Its as if he knew there was definitely a secret passage."
"Did he have any information?"
"If the information has not yet been revealed, it should be considered a personal ability."
Once they opened their mouths, the reporterswho often referred to themselves as the hunter expertsactively expressed their opinions. While watching them, Park Jin-Hwan slightly pulled his chair back and smiled. Without realizing that Park Jin-Hwan had backed up, the reporters continued on with their conversations.
"After all, it's one of the two. It was Yu-Seong's plan from start to finish, or his super-sense instinctively led him toward the optimal path."
"It's crazy either way, but I feel like its the former."
"Was there a hunter in Korea who could plan and do all that during E-rank?"
For a moment, the reporters looked at each other and fell speechless. They shook their heads firmly.
"Even for Kim Do-Jin. His power was just overwhelming. He didnt play strategically.
"In fact, Kim Do-Jin is a bit like a beast. He's instinctive and wild. And yet, his swordsmanship is artistically elegant. Thats why he is popular."
"Then, lets see. In our opinion, Choi Yu-Seong is a scheming-type player who is one of the best. I mean, the best among the domestic rookies. On the other hand, Kim Do-Jin is certainly an outstanding instinct-type player?
Why even bother to distinguish their types? Just by looking at the results right now, Choi Yu-Seong has beaten Kim Do-Jin at least in this Goblin Fortress race, right?
Yu-Seongs record was about 1 hour and 59 minutes, which was less than two hours too. Recalling this fact once again, the editor-in-chief who had been listening to the reporter's words, tapped his chin. He said, "It's not just about planning. I'm sure there was some kind of bone-cutting effort. If you look at it, the movement using skills was quite natural, and the mana operation was incredibly good. I'm sure he trained himself over and over every day.
"Who called him the lazy guts...?"
"We've been completely deceived.
Park Jin-Hwan sat back up in his seat and raised his head among the smirking reporters. He asked, "Everyone must be surprised. But you all agree that that is the best part, right?"
"Oh, I think I know what youre talking about, Sunbae-nim. That, you mean? Seo Yu-Rim raised her hand with sparkling eyes and pulled the already finished video scroll bar slightly forward to play it again.
It was the point where 1 hour and 41 minutes had just passed. It was when Choi Yu-Seong had encountered a group of Elite Goblins after he had escaped from the secret passage. He had flown into the sky before opening his palm, using a skill that left a strong impression in everyone's head who watched the video.
* * *
Rewinding the time back to dawn, this was when Yu-Seong had encountered the Goblins and flew over to them. He opened his palm and released a group of colorful and dazzling lights.
A group of Goblins did not even think that such a group of lights would be a disaster for them, but they ended up screaming and swinging their weapons at the group of lights. And at that moment, the group of lights that appeared to be splitting apart from the Goblins weapons began to dance like crazy and shook electric shocks in all directions.
Special, Fused Inheritance Skill Dancing Electric Doll E
Fusion is possible.
Unfold your palm and release the dancing electric doll within 100m of the front. The electric doll emits 12 electric sparks per second to the surrounding area during the dance.
The duration is 5 seconds. There is no wait time for reuse.
The mana consumption of this skill is quite intense.
Spark, which was Yu-Seong's unique attack skill until now, and Disturbing Dance Moves, the skill Loki had handed over, had combined to become Choi Yu-Seong's best attack skill in existence. Yu-Seong consecutively used that skill three times in the air.
'This is the limit. If I try to invoke another one, Ill get a mana overload.
In the Goblin Fortress final core, there were elite monsters clustered in groups.
Choi Yu-Seong already knew that from the information he had, so he had saved his most powerful attack skill, the Dancing Electric Doll, until now. This was because it would consume a lot of his mana.
Thanks to this, the group of Elite Goblins, who were preparing to attack Yu-Seong at once, burned in agony and twisted their bodies in a morbid dance alongside him.
While watching their writhing figures, Yu-Seong drew a smile. He looked somewhat pale. When fighting directly with a spear without the electric doll, he barely caught two or three Goblins in over about five minutes.
However, as the Dancing Electric Doll began to run wild, ten of the Elite Goblins simultaneously died in less than three seconds.
If it wasnt Yu-Seongwho was the rich conglomerate who could afford to drink the mana stone extract every dayit would be hard to execute this skill even once a day. This was because it had an excessive mana consumption rate. However, he very much liked this skill.
At the same time, Yu-Seong was somewhat disappointed.
If the bushes were spread out like other terrains, the Goblins would have been exterminated by this already.
