The Dragon King has a wide range of destructive abilities in his arsenal such as super-strength, durability, Dragon’s fear, the breath of destruction, spiritual body manifestation, and telepathy.

As pain fades, thinking becomes easier, and one’s mind loses the ability to be sympathetic. A sensation of isolation or emotional separation from the rest of the world might result from feeling emotionally numb or a general lack of emotion. Many individuals who experience numbness openly welcome it, yet it was a source of worry for Sung Jin Woo. He feared losing touch with his humanity as he grew in power.
Jin-woo is known for his ardent desire for power. He is not bound by traditional restrictions, as he can level up without restriction. But every time Sung Jin-Woo leveled up, the foreboding feeling of slowly losing his identity preyed at the back of his mind.
