s.p.a.ce 8. Damian.
“What, what is this?”
“That kid’s ident.i.ty…..!”
“Good G.o.d! What do we call that thing?”
The team members, all, had a ‘ㅇ ㅁ ㅇ’ this kind of face as they expressed bafflement.
In its middle, ‘that’ was it.
The ‘it’ had an appearance of liquid, but at the same time it had liquidy tissue, as well as, the innards that looked like hardened jelly.  All in all, it was a big chunk of serum jelly.  Its face, which looked like bits and parts of unknown beasts that mix-matched into one, had dark-red light that pulsated while the surface muscles wiggled like worms.  It really gave everyone a strange and unpleasant stimulation.
While everyone utterly stunned due to the scare, after looking at the monstrosity, “Commence Fire!”  Very first one to shout was Clem.
Consequently, Silverhand members woke up, real quick like, and took out their weapons.
Behind Clem, who was pulling out 25mm, large diameter rifle, was Pedro lead, attack squad armed with the machine guns.  Hex’s team of scavengers was readying electromagnetic minds and C-6 explosives!
ToongTooong! Tututututu! Pung! Kageegee!
Flames, thunder and lightning caused a vortex to spread everywhere!  It looked as if the entire area disappeared through the thick black smoke.
This was the Silverhand! This was the strength of the team that traveled around the Istana system for 10s of years collecting experiences.  However….
-Kekekekeke. You guys are funny.  With a low snicker, smoke started to spread outward.
Within the clearing was the ever permeating shine of the chunk of slime.  As if the focused attack from the Silverhand was a figment of imagination, there was no visible damage seen anywhere on that monster.
This is it!  This is the ultimate serum that Alkan race produced thinking about delivering revenge to the Murat race.
-Humanoid weapons do not change even after many hundreds of years.  No, actually, compared to in the past, there was a bit more warmth, suggesting a slight improvement?  However, it is useless.  No matter how much sheep was to evolve, it can’t possibly become a wolf.  Prey will always remain prey, no matter the effort.  For it to be eaten by a predator is the providence of the universe.  I am a being that was born to sit at the highest predator’s seat.  Insignificant preys, present yourselves as my meal!  Red light emitted from Damian.
Then, all of a sudden, guard members, Silverhands, and attack team’s NPCs all moved in concert with dim facial expression toward Damian like zombies.  No, NPC’s weren’t the only one.  Kurakan, Ferguson, A, and B also!
Then the message popped up!
-Damian used ‘Predator’s Seduction’ skill.
<characters>></characters>
<characters>Predator’s Seduction!</characters>
<characters>If wisdom, luck, and intelligence must be higher than 350 in order to not be under the influence, then NPC and some users will definitely be under mind control.  That means, if a soldier is under specifically defined level, it won’t matter how many soldiers there are, they all will fall under the mind control!</characters>
<characters>This was really a cheating skill, but…..</characters>
<characters>“Force Explosion!”</characters>
<characters>Pupupupung! Pupupupung! Pupuupung!  Following a booming voice, an explosive, and yet, ill-defined light force spread out like chain reaction.</characters>
<characters>Once under the influence of that light force, the mind controlled members regained control of their minds and hastily retreated.  Force explosion was a skill that utilized collision of two properties of forces to burn away the influence of the dark power.</characters>
<characters>“What do you think, you chunk of gelatin?  Thing won’t go the way you want!”  Ark looked on in the middle of the spreading light with a provocative smile.  This was the power of Murat’s lineage that was pa.s.sed on to Ark, the Elim!  Thanks to him, everyone was able to avoid sacrificing themselves to be Damian’s food, but….</characters>
<characters>“It’s you again?”  Ark just became Damian’s target.</characters>
<characters>-Also, this power is that of a Murat.  Murat! The race that forced Alkan race to an extinction!  Yes, are you that Murat?  Well, Alkan race’s revenge has nothing to do with me, but even though they were inferior race, I can’t deny that they were my creators.  It is not a bad idea to grant their revenge as a gesture of thanks.  Be happy, you alone will be chewed and digested well,” said Damian with growling voice!</characters>
<characters>All of a sudden, Damian’s body elongated straight toward Ark.</characters>
<characters>Kewaaah!</characters>
<characters>From Damian, a big chunk of slime, 3-4 separate chunks fell out and changed into different shaped monsters.  The resulting shape was that of a T-rex!</characters>
<characters>The three chunks changed into 3 dark red T-rex and ran toward Ark with their mouths opened wide.</characters>
<characters>‘Hmmpf! Just T-rex!’</characters>
<characters>Though he was surprised at the unimaginable event, T-rex was something that he had killed plenty of while in the forest of maze.  3 or 4 of them weren’t enough to scare him.</characters>
<characters>Yes, there weren’t any reason to be afraid, but!</characters>
<characters>KahKang!KahKang!KaKang!</characters>
<characters>“Woah! Hick! Ohohoh? Woaht?”  Ark ran, jumped, rolled while he screamed.</characters>
<characters>Rapid, who was looking on with a obtuse eyes, yelled at Ark in irritation.</characters>
<characters>“What are you doing you dummy?”</characters>
<characters>“c.r.a.p!  Do you think I am doing this because I want to? Hick! Ooodadada! This is all your fault!  Because of you, I used up all of my mana force, and running away is all I can do right now!  Hey you jerk! What are you doing, just looking around for?  If you have time to say that, do something!”</characters>
<characters>“…..What?”</characters>
<characters>“I can’t use my skills you jerk!”  Ark yelled back to Rapid while running away from T-rex.</characters>
<characters>This was Ark’s biggest problem.  Due to, having ridden the h.e.l.l hound for 5 Km, he had practically emptied out his mana.  What little force that was recovered while reading Izarion’s journal had been spent to drive away the darkness from Damian with Force Explosion.  Not only that, because he used battle suit to fight pterosaurs he couldn’t even use his armor at the moment.</characters>
<characters>Of course even without a utilization of a skill, he still had sword skills, but it was impossible to take on 3 T-rexes with just sword skill.  With that said, what else could he do but run?</characters>
<characters>“That’s right!  Right now, Arknim is, now, …..without an armor!”  Now that she remembered Ark’s situation, Irina rapidly raised her head and yelled.</characters>
<characters>At the same time, from her backpack, her battle suit came out and enveloped her!</characters>
<characters>‘……This is my chance!’  A sparkle from her eyes shot through her helmet.</characters>
<characters>Throughout the all of their travel, she constantly received his help.  Of course that was not a bad thing, but she wanted to be of help to Ark.  And now!  She was given the opportunity to save Ark for a change!</characters>
<characters>So it was while she was earnestly charging.</characters>
<characters>“Arknim! Ha-yat! Phantom Dance!”  A humanoid shadow shot through the s.p.a.ce like a dark light.  (TL: for the readers, this used to be “welcome alter ego.”  Due to there being so many different meanings to Korean words, which have its origin from Chinese, it would be very difficult for someone using machine translation to correctly name this skill.  In this case, the skill talks of a chaotic shadow-like dance)</characters>
<characters>Following the yell, the humanoid shadow split into 5 and they all smothered the T-rex that was attacking Ark.  The result was a T-rex being cut into pieces and the pieces into smog of blood.</characters>
<characters>“Extinction!”  5 shadows merged into one and crescent shaped sword was unsheathed, and as T-rex, which was being attacked from all sides, retreated with a wobble, human shadow returned next to Ark’s side as a normal human portrait.</characters>
<characters>The ident.i.ty of the humanoid shadow was Ellain!  It was Ark’s faithful follower, Kusan race’s greatest warrior.</characters>
<characters>Ellain’s performance was the result of hours of training under the waterfall.  And thus,….</characters>
<characters>‘Hooek! I even lost to the NPC!’  n.o.body knew what was going on inside Irina right now.</characters>
<characters>Though Ark became Damian’s target, he wasn’t just attacking Ark.  With the beginning of the first few chunks that flew out of Damian, more chunks continuously came out and morphed into various forms of dinosaurs, such as T-rex, Triceratop, Pterosaur, and Dilophosaurus as well!  Every form of dinosaurs that were present in the Jura.s.sic World started to attack everyone.  The final count was 40 dinosaurs!</characters>
<characters>“What is happening here…..?”</characters>
<characters>“That guy is the Serum, a product of the race that used to live here.”  Ark looked at hurried Rapid and yelled at him.</characters>
<characters>“I can’t explain in detail, but all of the dinosaurs in Jura.s.sic World were just ingredients that were used to produce that monstrosity, and Damian is, a serum that combined all of the strong traits of these dinosaurs.  Not only that, he has the means of morphing into whatever he likes.  Therefore, he can use his own body to produce the dinosaurs.  Don’t let your guard down.  This guy is the strongest monster that was made by the race that used to live here.</characters>
<characters>“Do you have time to be telling me not to let my guard down?”  Rapid looked at Ark unbelievably.</characters>
<characters>“Someone that had wasted away all of his power, and thus, ended up being chased away by just a few T-rex has the gall to tell me not to let my guard down?  Are you somebody, now that you are able to relay this apparent situation?”</characters>
<characters>“What, you jerk?  Whose fault do you think that was?”</characters>
<characters>“What do you mean whose fault?  Did you waste away my power or yours?”</characters>
<characters>“Ha! Look at this jerk!?  I have been quiet because we didn’t have time for argument, but it don’t look good if you come out like this.  First of all, the message that you left on that rock!”</characters>
<characters>Rapid suddenly laughed.  “So you saw it!”</characters>
<characters>“Yeah, I saw it, you jerk!  Do you know how long I was lost because of that rock?  Not only that, I know that you ordered that sniper attack from earlier!  What?  You don’t know what I was talking about?  No, yeah, fine.  Let’s talk about that later.  Whatever the case, I am the president.  Just because I ran out of my mana, you think you can slightly look down on me.”</characters>
<characters>“Slightly?  You are playing around, you useless sc.u.m!”</characters>
<characters>“This jerk!  Listen to the end!  I am the president! The president.  Just because of that fact, I am more useful than normal agents!  You understand?”</characters>
<characters>What Ark said was the truth.</characters>
<characters>It was needless to say the least, but in Galaxian, there is this thing called Agent Skill.  Every time the level of the Agent is raised, the skill learned can be used to benefit the growth of the employees that work under the agent.  Also, everyone here, excluding Silverhand, are beings that are benefiting from Ark’s Agent’s skill. That skill is Business Ownership!</characters>
<characters>-Currently being used Business Ownership-II(Private NPC) effectiveness</characters>
<characters>Milan (Treasure Hunter): party’s chance to discover hidden clues increased by 25%</characters>
<characters>Hagel (Scavenger): 18% increased chance for monster to drop items</characters>
<characters>Ellain (Speed Swordsman): party’s attack speed is increased by 8%</characters>
<characters>Bellot (Power Damage Dealer): party’s attack power increased by 8%</characters>
<characters>Caliban (Sniper): party’s accuracy increased by 15%</characters>
<characters>Kupa (Rifleman): Party’s long distance effectiveness increased by 8%</characters>
<characters>Hadro (Rifleman): Party’s long distance effectiveness increased by 8%……</characters>
<characters>This was the updated effect of the upgraded Ark’s skill!</characters>
<characters>But that was not all.</characters>
<characters>After he had solved Ikyullos problem and returned to Tatooin, Ark had acc.u.mulated enough adventure points to be used for another advancement.  While he was at the Federation HQ, he had already applied for the advancement, and the advancement was for level 4!</characters>
<characters>The registration fee was 1500 adventure points and 1500 gold.  It was not a small sum, but it was worth the cost.</characters>
<characters>Because of the increased level to level 4, total employees allowed was increased from 45 to 60.  Also, Dark Eden was promoted to the next level of operation called Company.</characters>
<characters>Because of the promotion, business capability has expanded, but that could wait until next opportune time, and what’s more important, now, is that he can learn even more powerful Company level skill as compared to Agent level skill.</characters>
<characters>And the company level skill that had cost Ark another 1000 adventure point was…..</characters>
<characters>“President’s Majesty!”</characters>
<characters>-
