After a whopping 80 hours in the time shift dungeon, which was simply 8 hours normally, Zen was getting a hang of his new skills.

His Draconic Clan's Basics skill was already leveled up to 67, Zen had been keeping the skill active all the times, and he deactivated his skills that were just meant for his mana to run out, as Dragon's Brutal Blow was doing that fine as well.

A bunch of his skills had leveled up well, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied.

Draconic Clan's Basics (Lv 67)
Cheon Bu Skills (Lv 62)
Dragon's Blow (Lv 28)
Dual Casting (Lv 75)
Angelic Strength (Lv 28)
Quick Mage (Lv 35)
Hollowfication (Lv 57)
Spinning Lightning Mana Arrow (Lv 34)
Mana Shield (Lv 72)
Time Accelerate (Lv 43)
Gaia's Crafter (Lv 9)
Dragon's Brutal Blow (Lv 21)

Zen did notice that Gaia's Crafter was leveling up slower than his other skills, but he could only assume because the skill was so powerful.

Zen even gained a martial arts skill, that was leveled up to 30 after all the training Zen did with Seonil.

"Seonil, this may sound cocky... but can I go against you and Seyoung? This power is great, but I won't know how well I'll be doing against others until I go against others." Zen requested of his friend.

"True, that probably is the best way to determine your abilities now."

Seonil was about to leave the dungeon, when he turned to Zen. "That book wasn't the only one. There are more books having to deal with that overall almost mythical skill set. I'll have to do some convincing, but I'll try to see if I can get those for you. After all, you can actually use them." Seonil backed up his friend before leaving, presumably to grab those amazing skill books and to grab Seyoung.

"My Shadows." Zen called out, curious if they could get to him even through multiple instant dungeons.

"Yes, My King?" Igris's deep voice answered his lord. "How is progress coming along?" Zen asked, but then lead with a more specific question.

"Has you found any outstanding soldiers, that I should be keeping an eye out for?" Zen asked, curious if something like that even could happen.

"Not for me, but Baruka was talking to Kenpachi about 1 Hyakki that was exceptionally good." Igris informed the Shadow Monarch.

"Hmm, I'll make sure to congratulate them later." Zen told Igris. "For now, just keep on performing as you are. Soon enough, I think I'll actually have all of you guys with me at once, simply because my luck is saying something bad is going to happen soon."

"Yes, I understand." Igris answered, and Zen could tell Igris began doing other work.

"We're here!" Zen could only slowly look up as he saw Seyoung and Seonil together, both carrying 2 large separate books.

"What are those?" Zen pointed towards the books. "These are two Draconic skills." Seonil answered.

"But, can I ask why? We don't really care for these a whole lot, because no one can read them anyways." Seyoung shrugged as she dropped the book onto the ground.

"Most trusted guilds have at least one part of these books, because the fear they can bring with them. Kamish... Kamish took a lot from a lot of people." Seyoung grit her teeth, an unforgiving hate filling her soul.

"Zen, would you like to show her?" Seonil asked his friend, knowing that Seyoung would be surprised.

"Sure. Seyoung, brace yourself." Zen asked, and she did slightly, not seeing much reason to. Seonil sat the book he had in his hands down, and began to brace himself.

"Um, more, preferably." Zen nervously chuckled. "Okay...?" Seyoung braced herself like she would in a real fight. "Oh, and what's up with the mask?" Seyoung couldn't help but asking, as she hadn't seen the mask before.

"It's... a new skill. Anyways, are you guys ready? Dragon's Brutal Blow!" Zen threw out a fist, and an impossibly strong shockwave and energy came out with it.

It was good that Zen didn't even try to put on a shirt again, because the raw force of the attack would've certainly blow it off.

Seyoung couldn't do a whole lot, but get as low as she could, trying to not let the energy hit her head on.

Seonil tried to hold himself up against the shockwave, and did a decent job before he was hit by another and another and another.

Zen launched out three more punches, his mana dropping by 10,000.

Seyoung could do nothing but look in slight shock. "Don't you dare tell me... This is one of the Draconic skills?" Seyoung asked, her hair wild from all wind.

"This is indeed. It's also named the Yongui Gil Clan, if that makes any difference." Zen shrugged, the shocking power he gained feeling less impressive as he got used to it.

"The..." Seonil began. "Yongui Gil Clan?!" Seyoung finished.

"Should... Should I have stayed quiet?" Zen asked cautiously, nervously laughing.

"The Yongui Gil Clan was also a Guild. They, the 4 original members, were said to be the strongest Hunters in all of the Abyss. They were a Guild for about 2 years, but they suddenly dissapeared. Anyone who tried to learn the techniques when they were still here would quickly learn that trying to become so powerful so quickly was incredibly difficult. When people want to grow stronger, it must be done over a long period of time, so people can normally raise one rank after... maybe 2 decades of training. The three brothers and one sister all held this impossibly strong aura, but never truly showed their strength. It was once shown that when one of them wanted to, they destroyed an entire A Rank Gate in mere minutes." Seonil informed.

"They just appeared. The public wondered about where they came from, but no one would get any answers. Some believed that their strength lied in their techniques, so some idiotic S Rank Hunters decided to try and use the techniques."

"They were taught the technique we have here, and the only reason we know what it's named is because they were taught it. It's named Dragon's Kick."

Seyoung picked up, giving Seonil a moment to catch his breath. "When they tried to use the skill, even after being taught to only use the skill after a few more months of training, they blew off their legs. We don't know any super specific details, but we do know that eventually those S Ranks fell off of Hunter work." Seyoung brought reality to Zen's situation.

"You using that skill so many times... this may be one of the greatest things to ever happen to the Cheon Bu Guild, that is, if you'd want to join us." Seyoung wasted no time in offering to Zen.

"We'd have you skip a lot of basic training, but with a power like yours, we'd welcome you in graciously."

"Thanks. But no thanks. I've had an obligation for a while now, and I'm even thinking of starting my own Guild." Zen told Seonil and Seyoung.

"Now, trust me. I will happily work with you guys, I just can't work in your Guild. Are we still cool?" Zen asked, not wanting the environment to feel awkward.

He felt more than happy when Seyoung and Seonil held absolutely no bad will. "Of course we are! It's still amazing that you can absorb the Yongui Gil Clan's techniques." Seyoung praised Zen.

"We have the skill Dragon's Kick, and another skill that we don't know what it's called." Seonil brought one book towards Zen, and he placed his hand on it.

[Would you like to learn this skill?]
[Yes/No]

Zen pressed yes, and was glad he could just simply absorb the skill, and that no extra conditions appeared.

[Black Dragon's Kick] (Lv 1)
A basic skill in the Zhei Heilong series of techniques. A Dragon holds an impossibly strong set of legs. The scales take a beating, and can dish out just as much pain.
The Black Dragon holds strength higher than other other Dragons.
4500 mana upon activation of skill.
Mana cost is lowered if Dragon Scales are activated.

"It's actually named Black Dragon's Kick. It mentions how a Black Dragon is stronger than other dragons." Zen told the two. "That's... new." Seonil raised his eyebrows.

"What about the other one?" Seyoung brought the other one to Zen, and he laid his hand on it.

[Would you like to learn this skill?]
[Yes/No]

Zen clicked yes, as always.

[Zhen Heilong's Constant Boosts] (Lv 1)
When Zhen Heilong originally chose his four students, he trained them all in the basics of a Black Dragon's power and strength.
Months upon months were spent in training the basic skills. This long and drawn out preparation was to make sure the students didn't perish upon instant use of any of the Draconic Skills, that were originally meant for Zhen Heilong's use.
In it's passive form: Increase Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Intelligence by 10%.
In it's active form: It cloaks the user in an extremely dense aura that looks similar to basic Dragon Scales. Defense, Intelligence, Agility, and Vitality all raise by 30%.
Mana cost: 15000 Mana a minute.

"Zhen Heilong?" Zen unconsiously said, and he instantly saw Seonil and Seyoung both lean in to him.

"Don't you dare tell me. Do not tell me he's real. He's real?!" Seyoung went from absolute disbelief to a sense of happiness.

"Uh, yeah? Why?" Zen didn't know why this was so important.

"To keep it simple, he was the one who essentially killed Kamish single handedly, and then wouldn't take the gifts the US tried giving him, because they were 'useless to him.' He took in a few kids, and they became the Yongui Gil Clan members, in the Guild that he made. The big question most people had about him was, 'How did he get so strong, and where did he come from?'" Seonil explained.

"So he came out of nowhere, beat Kamish, made a Guild, and after his students became competent, where'd he go?" Zen questioned. "Nobody knows. He's basically faded into a myth now, but he was internationally famous before he dropped off the face of the Earth." Seonil nodded to himself.

"If you actually follow these skills, you'll hit a completely different limit of power." Seonil said, and Seyoung nodded on agreement.

"May we try this all out now?" Zen asked anxiously, his excitement begining to come up.

Seonil and Seyoung both look at eachother, slightly nervous. They looked at Zen, and then back at eachother.

"Alright." Seyoung agreed, as Seonil nodded.

"Let's stop when somebody can't fight anymore." Zen couldn't hold back his grin, which only caused for Seonil and Seyoung to get more nervous.

A silence set over the three, only to be interupted when Seonil and Seyoung suddenly jumped towards Zen.

They soared closer and closer, and they both were very serious. Seonil slid and went to kick Zen's legs, taking him off his balance.

Seyoung planned on slamming Zen's face down into the ground, to take him out in one precise blow.

With a grin still on his face, Zen jumped up, and spun around, barely dodging Seyoung's attack.

"Black Dragon's Kick!" Zen's leg came up, and slammed back down. Seonil couldn't move too much, due to being suspended in the air, so Seyoung covered for him.

She adjusted herself and flipped, punching Zen's leg. The punch just barely let Seonil dodge, but it caused Seyoung to be wide open.

As soon as Zen landed on the solid ground, he took full advantage of it. "Dragon's Brutal Blow!" Zen launched out several different punches, all blowing Seyoung back, before she could even land back onto the ground.

Seonil forced his fingers into the ground, in order to not fly away.

Zen charged and jumped into the air, trying to barrage Seonil from above. This sudden movement caused for Seyoung to jump even higher, and slam her fist into his back.

"Ow! Why is it so hard?!" Seyoung recoiled, feeling the effects of Zen's various passive skills, and his newest skill.

"It's done!" Zen suddenly said, and midair flipped around. He grabbed Seyoung by her wrists, and slammed her into the ground.

"Gah!" Seyoung spat out, and before she or Seonil could get up, they both saw a huge ball of energy in the sky.

"I'll call it the Black Dragon Bomb!" Zen came down fast, and the ball of energy came down faster, straight onto Seonil and Seyoung.

A humongous explosion went off, all the grass in the dungeon was singed, and when the high energy signals came down, Zen's mana shields were around Seyoung and Seonil.

"Hehe... maybe I'll just save that attack for later." Zen used Yeon Hon Principle on Seyoung and Seonil.

"You think? But... you did dominate against us, if you had some more equipment on, you'd definitely win." Seonil sighed, his friend's strength becoming more and more every day.

"Now, I need to to see Senga Hanzo and Sengon Hanzo, as they have apparently dissapeared." Zen sighed.

"...Are you sure that's a good idea? That may end up very poorly." Seonil cautiously spoke.

"I have to, and you guys just saw, I'll be fine. I'm strong enough to at least run away."

"Jeez... a few months ago you wouldn't even think about fighting... now look where you are." Seonil pointed out, only for Zen to hold out his hand for a fist-bump.

"Yeah, now I'm the one and only Gamer." Seonil could only chuckle at his friend's words. "Yeah... yeah, you are."
