‘Huh…!’
He were the usage of his magnificence-precise capabilities constantly, however they confirmed no signs of budging until now. however then, their degrees all went up in one move?!
Ba-thump, ba-thump!!
Jin-Woo’s coronary heart started pounding surely hard for the primary time in a while.
currently, there were most effective two other people within the boss chamber, and that could be Yu Jin-Ho and Woo Jin-Cheol. when you consider that both of them weren’t the kind to needlessly whinge approximately small topics, he determined to no longer to mind their presence and summoned out his fame Window.
‘Stat Window.’
Tti-ring.
along side the acquainted mechanical bleep, all of the data approximately him, starting from his degree to every item he was wearing, or even his modern physical repute, appeared to fill up his view.
Jin-Woo’s gaze stopped on the ‘class-specific skills’ listing.
[Class-specific Skills]
active abilties
– Shadow Extraction Lv. 2
– Shadow garage Lv. 2
– Sovereign’s Territory Lv. 2
– Shadow change Lv. 2
‘It’s for actual.’
listening to approximately the fact and actually seeing it have been two different things. Jin-Woo clenched his fist tighter, especially from the truth that the level for ‘Shadow trade’ had long past up.
‘quality!’
The Shadow exchange skill possessed such an countless capability but he became feeling annoyed by using the issue posed through its prolonged cooldown time.
‘the description stated that cooldown will change according to the ability stage, right?’
With this, his frustration ought to move down a bit.
This become these days’s largest benefit for him. He turned into a ways more pleased approximately the skill Shadow exchange being greater in place of his stalled level rising up once more.
‘need to I see how a great deal of it has changed now?’
Feeling like a kid pulling the wrapping off his new gift, Jin-Woo accessed the data at the talent Shadow exchange.
Tti-ring.
[Skill: Shadow Exchange Lv. 2]
class-particular….
….as soon as activated, you must wait hours of ‘cooldown’ duration earlier than being able to use the skill once more.
The ‘cooldown’ duration will change according to the talent’s level.
‘…..!!’
discount of 1 hour!!
simply with the aid of going up one degree, the cooldown time had decreased by one-0.33. Jin-Woo could slightly hide his excitement now.
‘One hour’s long past after going up one degree.’
A easy calculation advised him that there was a excessive opportunity of but any other hour being chopped off from the cooldown time with the following level up of the skill. And, what if he raised the extent of this talent one extra time after that?
‘It way, regardless of where i am, mother and Jin-Ah will never locate themselves in problem….’
simply thinking about that made his entire body shiver. That turned into the most vital aspect for Jin-Woo, in any case. perhaps his pleasure showed up on his face, Yu Jin-Ho asked him a question with a jovial smile.
“Hyung-nim? Did some thing exact occur?”
“Mm?”
simplest then did Jin-Woo realize that Yu Jin-Ho had come toward him.
‘i used to be too centered on the popularity Window, wasn’t I….?’
He also should see segment chief Woo Jin-Cheol strolling toward this way at the back of Yu Jin-Ho as nicely. Jin-Woo grinned and closed the reputation Window. although these men weren’t the kinds to raise a fuss over every single element, there was no motive for him to appear like a madman to their eyes, either.
“Yeah, something like that.”
“That’s cool, hyung-nim.”
Yu Jin-Ho’s wits had emerge as lots faster after following Jin-Woo round for some time, so he didn’t try to dig in anymore. instead, his attention shifted to the sight proper next to them.
“Wowsers.”
this would be Yu Jin-Ho’s first time ever seeing an actual rank A dungeon’s boss. This monster’s top torso regarded human-ish, however the decrease component gave the look of a sea snake.
It appeared so nonsensically big from afar, however now that he got to take a glance up near, it regarded even larger and virtually disgusting to behold, as well.
It was best natural that he couldn’t close his slack jaw after seeing the sort of humongous monster.
‘I recognize that hyung-nim has entered numerous other high-ranking dungeons previous to this one, so does that suggest….’
Did that mean he killed creatures like this one each time he entered this sort of Gate?
Gulp.
Yu Jin-Ho swallowed some dry saliva. For some reason, his hyung-nim appeared even more enforcing and funky to his eyes today. And he felt exceedingly proud of himself, as it turned into him and not a person else standing beside such an super guy.
“Hyung-nim!!”
“Mm?”
“I admire you.”
“What?”
“It’s not anything.”
‘stupid youngster.’
Jin-Woo stared wordlessly at Yu Jin-Ho, and the latter averted his gaze after realising how embarrassed he become feeling proper now. in the meantime, Woo Jin-Cheol next to them changed into additionally stewing in a bottomless shock in the intervening time.
‘I knew Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s abilties were excellent, but this….’
To suppose, he’d be capable of easily deal with a chairman-level Naga like this.
other raid groups could start tearing their hair out after seeing this spectacle. especially once they might want the overall participation of tankers, damage sellers, and Healers just to barely deliver down a monster of this significance.
‘……..’
Woo Jin-Cheol walked up close to the remains of the boss-stage Naga and gently tapped on the monster’s scales. He should absolutely experience the metal-like hardness via his fingertips.
Scales of Naga boasted exceptional hardness and they had been regularly used within the manufacturing of all kinds of protective gadgets, including various armours and shields.
‘but, such scales had been….’
some a part of the scales on the lower torso of the monster had been beaten and torn into portions as though they have been created from paper. That turned into the aftermath left in the back of by means of Jin-Woo’s skill, ‘Violent lessen’.
‘Being able to produce such devastating unfavourable power, whilst the use of nothing extra than multiple shortswords.’
cold sweat formed on Woo Jin-Cheol’s brow as he discovered the monster’s corpse. What a outstanding relief that the children turned into their ally and now not an enemy.
It become then, Jin-Woo’s voice came from in the back of him.
“….are you able to step apart for a piece, please?”
Woo Jin-Cheol changed into too deep in his thoughts and couldn’t properly pay attention that, so he speedy appeared at the back of him in a fluster.
“Y-yes?”
“I’m trying to create every other summoned creature, however chief Woo, you’re too near, you see.”
“Ah.”
Yu Jin-Ho had already moved to a miles sufficient vicinity and turned into busy gesturing at Woo Jin-Cheol to come back over there.
“M-my apologies.”
Woo Jin-Cheol presented an appropriate-sounding apology and fast stepped apart. He saved staring with exquisite anticipation, even though. He had seen how the summoned creatures have been created in the course of his journey right here, but this will be the first time seeing a chairman-level monster turn out to be a summon.
‘may want to this large issue end up a summoned creature as the way it looks?’
Even Yu Jin-Ho’s eyes had been sparkling as he waited for the end result. despite the fact that he turned into subjected to two guys’s boiling anticipation, Jin-Woo changed into thoroughly at ease as he activated Shadow Extraction.
‘rise up.’
The shadow of the boss-degree monster responded the decision of its new owner.
Kiiiaahhh-!!
A hand emerged out from the shadow and grabbed keep of the floor, before dragging its body out from the darkness. but, the newly summoned creature became manner smaller in size than what the target audience was awaiting to see.
As a be counted of reality, it changed into best approximately the equal length as the summoned creatures created out of regular Nagas. maybe, it changed into slightly larger, but that was about it.
‘Haha….’
Woo Jin-Cheol became so nerve-racking that his fingers were soaked in sweat, however now, he may want to allow off a wry chortle. This result became possibly an inevitable one.
How could a summon made from borrowing the dead monster’s powers be similar to the real element? that could be pretty much the right length, whether or not that standards being its real strength or the physical length.
Woo Jin-Cheol felt relieved for a few cause after seeing the summon and its relatively miniaturised length.
‘perhaps, Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s powers have a described and clear ceiling?’
even if that was the case, Hunter Seong’s very own combat capabilities easily handed one’s imaginations, so one may want to never see him as an easy opponent in any respect.
quite special from Woo Jin-Cheol’s mind, even though, Jin-Woo was shouting out in elation on the unexpected jackpot he just stumbled onto.
[The Sovereign’s voice has roused the fighting spirit of the deceased.]
[You have succeeded in strengthening the shadow!]
[The shadow’s level will start from 13.]
‘pleasant!!’
changed into this because of the Shadow Extraction had levelled up? For the first time for the reason that Igrit’s case, the message concerning the strengthening of a shadow popped out. Jin-Woo speedy checked the new soldier’s records.
[?? Lv. 13]
Elite Knight grade
It wasn’t that sudden to look the grade ‘Elite Knight’ pop up like Fangs earlier than considering that this guy was once the boss of the rank A dungeon. however, its starting degree become thirteen!!
Jin-Woo confirmed that degree and could slightly maintain his glad chuckles in test.
‘Is it because its degree is so excessive? Its energy is not all that distinct from the unique.’
in contrast to the squaddies he had extracted thus far, he couldn’t feel many discrepancies between this guy’s stats and those of the useless authentic. He picked up on the huge magic energy hidden deep within its smaller frame.
He turned into actually at a loss for words with the aid of its exceptional size, but he should make one hypothesis right here.
‘perhaps, this is how it regarded at the start?’
That made experience, seeing that they have been all Nagas, initially. So, how should the boss be that an awful lot larger than the others? If it used magic like Fangs to balloon up its size, then that made perfect feel.
His hypothesis turned into supported with the aid of the reality that this new guy became ably controlling its personal magic energy much like how Fangs did, and additionally from its high-quality reserve of magic strength as nicely. That reserve wasn’t as big as Fangs, although.
It was then.
[Please assign the soldier’s name.]
much like before, the message urging him to name this new soldier popped up to his view. Jin-Woo didn’t provide it much notion and named it ‘Jima’.
[Will you name the soldier ‘Jima’?]
‘That’s right.’
And so, a powerful new mage have been delivered to his Shadow military, as well as to his new Naga troops, as nicely. With the extraction system now over, Jin-Woo absorbed Jima again into his shadow.
proper on cue, the dungeon started out sending out caution signals now that it not had an owner.
Rumble…..
A faint tremor rose up from the ground. It become the signal that the Gate would close in a single hour. Yu Jin-Ho stopped staying back and fast ran over to his hyung-nim’s aspect.
“It’s time for us to go away this vicinity, hyung-nim.”
“right.”
Yu Jin-Ho took one final sweeping go searching him and smacked his lips as though he was feeling regretful over some thing.
“but, hyung-nim. that is a chunk of a waste.”
His gaze was now constant at the corpse of the boss-degree monster.
“That aspect might’ve fetched a good-looking amount on the market, you realize?”
A Gate might near quickly after the dungeon’s boss turned into killed off. meaning, one might should tackle a big hazard to carry out the body of the boss monster outside the dungeon.
if you made one mistake and got trapped in right here, then you definitely’d literally turn out to be ‘missing in dungeon’ all the time, so to speak.
possibly that was why it became uncommon to see the corpses of boss monsters outdoor of the Gates. the first trouble being, due to the fact they have been so much bigger, transporting them itself posed a considerable task.
Of route, their rarity ensured that the price they fetched became quite enormous, as properly. surprisingly sufficient, Jin-Woo responded nonchalantly to Yu Jin-Ho and his wistful longing.
“What’s the hassle? We’ll just take it with us.”
“Eh?”
Yu Jin-Ho’s eyes unfolded wider as he hastily asked a question.
“Hyung-nim, isn’t that too massive to take with us?”
Jin-Woo smirked softly.
“It’s quality.”
He didn’t realize how sturdy his guy was physically, but properly, didn’t he have a person on his side who became manner larger than that corpse?
‘come out.’
when Jin-Woo issued his order, a former high Orc Shaman Shadow Soldier decked out in a black robe made a soundless look.
Shururuk….
Fangs diminished his head as his greetings, and Jin-Woo pointed at the corpse with his chin.
‘move ahead.’
in the blink of a watch, Fangs grew back into a large. He then began dragging out the boss-level Naga, which wasn’t even 1/2 his size, out of the boss chamber.
“Heok!!”
Woo Jin-Cheol’s eyes shook hard after witnessing such a stunning spectacle.
‘Wasn’t that component…..??’
in reality, that turned into the high Orc Shaman from the Hunters Guild raid now not too lengthy ago that Jin-Woo killed in one hit. He certainly witnessed it returned then.
however now, that component became as a minimum two times the scale than while it changed into nevertheless alive. And it wasn’t simply its size that had grown larger, too. The emitted waves of magic energy coming from its frame while it grew to that length turned into a ways, some distance scarier in comparison to lower back then as properly.
Woo Jin-Cheol was genuinely astonished with the aid of this new improvement.
‘what’s this?! Didn’t the monster’s energy drop whilst turning into a summon??’
If that changed into the case, then how have to he move approximately explaining that summon created out from the excessive Orc Shaman?
Jin-Woo should create summons out of the boss monsters from rank A dungeons, and he should even strengthen them, too?
‘How can this make any form of logical feel…..??’
Jin-Woo asked a nonplussed query to Woo Jin-Cheol and his slack jaw.
“chief Woo? Aren’t you coming as properly?”
“Ah….”
If one had been to lose some of their lifespan via intellectual shocks, then Woo Jin-Cheol should’ve misplaced 1/2 of his life right here nowadays.
He had a mountain of questions he’d like to ask. but then, he was simply afraid of the form of solutions he might get, so he felt disinclined to ask them, as well.
Woo Jin-Cheol hesitated, but in the long run, should handiest reply with a tired look on his face.
“…..sure, permit’s get going.”
***
reporters were taking into consideration leaving for early lunch however then, their eyes nearly bulged out in their sockets after Jin-Woo leisurely walked out of the Gate.
“What the heck? Has he finished already?!”
“No way??”
He cleared a rank A dungeon in much less than three hours?!
A massive lightbulb were given switched on inside the heads of the amassed newshounds.
‘this is a huge scoop! A jackpot!’
The journalists gripping their cameras tightly started out flooding toward the Gate, fearing that they might miss Jin-Woo in the event that they didn’t hurry up. Too horrific, the Hunters from the tracking department waiting there quick blocked their progress.
“Argh, allow me pass! We aren’t going to interview him, you realize??”
“I just want to snap a photograph! What the heck, will you’re taking duty if i am getting fired for failing to take a unmarried picture these days??”
“It’s simply one photograph, so why are you all behaving like this??”
And simply as the determined scuffle between the newshounds and the tracking department’s dealers intensified….
THUD.
The sound of something heavy stepping on the floor resounded out.
“Uh…”
one of the reporters dropped his digital camera in an utter daze.
Crack.
He didn’t even understand that his fallen digicam become stepped on by using different journalists. No, he may want to simplest point toward the Gate and stutter out in pure surprise.
“L-appearance over there…”
Or, more especially, he was pointing on the large, hulking massive of a monster stepping outside the Gate.
“R-run away!! No, no wait! Take its snap shots first! Hurry!”
“Are you filming this??”
“Ah, yes!!”
The journalists quickly forgot about the physical confrontation of a second in the past and hurriedly began snapping away with their raised cameras.
They have been inwardly afraid of the monster attacking them, but at the same time, their arms persisted to move at a dazzling pace as if they had been bewitched by means of some thing.
Clickclickclickclickclickclick-!!!
Fangs turned into diligently dragging the boss-stage Naga’s corpse outdoor the Gate, however whilst he felt pretty numerous stares landing on his returned, he slowly turned around to look.
‘…..??’
And he observed that, no longer just the newshounds, but the police, association employees, and even the passersby on the road stopped of their treks to appearance up at him.
Fangs changed into now triumph over with embarrassment and sheepishly scratched the returned of his head.
