Puk! Black Seol Jihu stabbed his fingers into his own eyes.

“You know that you’re walking on a thorny road.”

He then put his hands over his ears, injecting mana into them and destroying his own eardrums.

“Why are you trying to cross it in one go? What doesn’t work won’t work no matter how many times you try it.”

He did the same to his nose.

“Ah, of course, there are people who can do it.”

Meanwhile, he blabbered on as if he was used to this process by now.

“While some have trouble just grasping the basics, these people would succeed as naturally as breathing and achieve their own realms. The former would have trouble taking just a single step forward, but the latter would leap through twenty steps during that time. We call these people geniuses.”

Black Seol Jihu revealed his teeth in a thick smile.

“They’re the real Irregulars, unlike you who rely on Future Vision and Nine Eyes.”

Suddenly recalling Eun Yuri, Seol Jihu clenched his teeth.

“Follow me.”

Black Seol Jihu turned around. He trudged to the boulder and pushed it.

It was only then that Seol Jihu noticed what state Black Seol Jihu was in. His sight, hearing, and sense of smell were the same as his own before he revived.

Seol Jihu stared at his alternate self fixedly before subconsciously standing up.

Black Seol Jihu rolled the boulder up with one hand, easily passing the first slope and going to the second slope.

Drrrrrrk! Soon, the second peak rumbled, and several boulders appeared out of nowhere.

“I just don’t get it.”

Seol Jihu’s eyes waned.

Black Seol Jihu stopped and raised the boulder into the air with one hand before throwing it like he was playing with a tennis ball.

The house-sized boulder disappeared into the distance, becoming a dot in the blink of an eye.

Then…

“What’s the reason you keep trying the same thing when you know it doesn’t work?”

At the same time, as Black Seol Jihu stretched out his hand toward the slope, the boulder that was rolling down at the lead touched his palm.

What happened next was completely bizarre.

As Black Seol Jihu twisted his arm slightly and pulled, the course of the boulder changed. It began to roll down following the direction of his hand, almost as if the two were connected by an invisible string.

It wasn’t just the boulder leading the pack that changed course. The other boulders also veered off course following it.

“If your destination is far away, you need to think about getting there step by step.”

As he said this, Black Seol Jihu dropped his hands like a conductor.

A spin was applied to the rolling boulders. As Black Seol Jihu waved his hands again, the boulders...
