“Go a little further.”
Entropy said yes, and soon the connection was lost.
To be precise, it must be said that communication with entropy is cut off.
His presence was felt, but there was no link.
Entropy came back as soon as it was decided that it could not go any further.
Jeong Dae-sik asked the question after waiting for entropy to come back in front of him.
“How is it? How many kilometers have you gone?”
It is possible to go as far away as <5 km. If I go out of that range, my existence is temporarily canceled because Jung Dae-sik's magic cannot reach.>
“That’s right. Even so, it would be pretty useful? It means that you can conduct reconnaissance while communicating with you up to a radius of 3 km, and even if communication is not possible up to 5 km, you can check the situation and come back!”
“Simultaneous activation?”
Jeong Dae-sik exclaimed in exclamation.
The starter word was one of the blind spots of his abilities.
Strictly speaking, the other Awakeners did not necessarily need a starting word.
To them, starting words were more like a way to concentrate.
In an urgent situation, the expression of ability is possible without necessarily shouting the starting word.
Although there is a difference in the weight of the starting word depending on the person, ultimately, the starting word was not an absolute condition for the expression of ability.
However, in the case of Jeong Dae-sik, who uses the skills acquired through Hyeonjil, a starting word was absolutely necessary.
In the case of passive skills such as steel body and attention extension, a start word was not required, but other active skills such as supreme power, taunt, observation, etc. had to say a start word.
This is because he did not fully understand the expression formula of the skill and operate the magic by himself, but because the magic was forcibly used while the skill was activated through the starting word.
Therefore, it was difficult not only to not be able to use the skill without saying the starting word, but also to use both skills at the same time.
Also, due to the fact that the starting words have to be said, there is an order in which skills are activated.
In other words, if you shout ‘strengthened force’, you can use the strengthened force, but if you shout ‘strengthen-strengthen’, it is of no use because reinforcement will be applied after the force has been activated.
However, if it is possible to share consciousness with Entropy through a link, and if he can activate a skill on behalf of Jeong Dae-sik, it becomes possible to use reinforcement and powerful power at the same time.
It meant that I didn’t have to add reinforcement every time I used the powerful power.
It also meant that it was possible to activate agility and powerful power at the same time, or to use observation and taunt at the same time.
If so, it would be of great help in an urgent battle situation.
Jeong Dae-sik laughed out loud.
“Finally, entropy, I have a way to use you!”
Entropy shot a bit offended.
Because he got closer to a humanoid, he could see his piercing expression.
“Honestly, it wasn’t in a battle situation, was it? But if you can activate your skills as I mean, it’s a different story. Hopefully, I might be able to raise you as my partner.”
“Yes! Partner!”
Jeong Dae-sik came up with a certain idea in his head.
Since there was a link, Entropy must have already known Jeong Dae-sik’s thoughts.
However, in order to organize his thoughts, Jeong Dae-sik explained what came to mind.
“It’s useful because it can act like a recon drone with just a simple link. My attention extension skill says it can detect monsters, but it’s quite tiring to always focus on one corner of your consciousness. At times, I lose my attention, and it’s different from seeing with my own eyes.”
“That’s right. Even if you can activate skills at your own will. That’s only an auxiliary role, so it’s not enough to be called a partner. But I don’t intend to limit your abilities. I will grow you.”
“Yeah. A weapon with an ego!”
Jeong Dae-sik exclaimed excitedly, and entropy calmly revealed the possibility.
“If you can activate a skill on my behalf, won’t it be possible to execute it in the end?”
“If you upgrade your level more than now, you don’t know, right?”
In the case of Mu-won Park, who is a metamorphic person, he was able to change weapons into various forms with his magical powers.
It was theoretically possible for the real world to create weapons with only their own magical powers.
Once they succeeded in realizing it, such weapons exhibited far superior performance than those made of metal.
Therefore, entropy, which is composed based on one’s own magical power, could be like that.
Jeong Dae-sik exclaimed in admiration for his idea.
“Awesome! Isn’t that a completely genius idea?”
Entropy did not respond, but Jeong Dae-sik praised himself for a long time.
If entropy becomes a being that can fight under one’s own judgment, it will be a more powerful weapon than any other item.
No, if he shared Jung Dae-sik’s abilities, he would go beyond weaponization and become his alter ego.
Entropy, unable to listen to Jeong Dae-sik’s swollen words in his dream, poured cold water on him with a single word.
“Sheesh, it sounds like it’s running out of steam. I know that. So, aren’t you trying to find a way to increase your magic power without buying status points? Actually, that’s what I’m worried about.”
There were several ways for the Hunters to become stronger.
As much as they risked their lives to kill the existence of another world, the Hunters did not choose any means and methods to become stronger.
As a result, various means exist, from the legal and sound method to the illegal and harmful method.
However, it is bound to be limited to physical training.
Parts such as strength, stamina, and agility could be improved through the effort to cut bones.
Several types of drugs also aided in that effort.
To some extent, the five senses could be developed more sensitively through practice.
It was possible to develop it mainly through training in the dark or through hands-on brain activation programs.
However, only magic is a different story.
It wasn’t muscular strength, stamina, agility, or five senses that differentiated the awakened and ordinary people.
In some cases, ordinary people could be better than the Awakened in that part.
The criterion for dividing the Awakened and the ordinary people was whether or not they could express their magical powers.
This part was solely a matter of God’s choice, and so was the ability that was manifested in that way.
Normally, if you were born with the ability of the psychic world, you could not have the ability of the transformation system or the emission system.
Occasionally, there are duelists who are born with both abilities at once, but the probability is very slim and they have to distribute limited magical power to the two abilities, so they can’t show their outstanding abilities.
If the amount of mana was overflowing, it was not enough to divide it between the two abilities at a normal level.
Yo is the total amount of innate magical power.
No matter how rare and special ability you are born with, if you cannot support it with enough magical power to operate it, its effectiveness will decrease.
Take Tae-Hoon Yoo, for example.
He had a very good ability called a Necromancer.
Raising the dead from the ground, he could operate an army of zombies made of hundreds of thousands of corpses if his magical power was infinite.
But the reason he can’t do that is because his magical powers are limited.
His abilities were affected by the size of the undead and the time of his death.
The larger the size, the longer they died, the more magical power was required.
Of course, the amount of horsepower also had an effect on the holding time.
Through training and experience, he was able to use his magic more efficiently.
It was possible to increase fuel economy by using magic without wasting through tricks when expressing abilities.
Of course, it takes a lot of discipline to make this possible.
However, there was no way to increase the amount of magic power itself.
Therefore, hunters also carried items such as batteries of some kind.
Magical recovery potions are a prime example.
Although it was given the name recovery, it is ultimately a potion with a small amount of magical power.
It is more accurate to say that it is charging rather than actually recovering magical power.
There were several forms of this, and in some cases, these functions were embedded in the weapon.
Then, the hunters would charge the remaining magic power there and use it in a moment of crisis.
Naturally, the more expensive the item, the more magical power it was able to store for a long time.
However, the magic stored in the item was not permanent.
As with all batteries, it drains over time and needs to be recharged regularly.
And each of these items boasted a great price.
It was a price that ordinary hunters could not even afford.
Therefore, in the end, the amount of natural magic power was the best.
It is impossible to increase the amount of mana by effort.
Jung Dae-sik currently possesses as many as three abilities.
In the future, he planned to become an all-in-one by opening up all his abilities.
Skills also had a significant number compared to other hunters.
And if the skill increases further, it will increase, not decrease.
The question was whether he had enough magical power to operate the skill.
Even if it is an all-in-one, what does it mean if the abilities that can be used in combat are limited?
As an all-in-one, the value of having it had to drop significantly.
So, he had to have enough magical power to support all his abilities.
Jeong Dae-sik frowned and continued speaking.
“I don’t know anything else, but they say it’s impossible to increase magic power through training. You can maximize efficiency through effort, but there are limits. Of course, I can do anything with money, but that’s an average amount.”
“Yes, that’s right. Well, of course there should be skills that improve other states, but what I’m really curious about is that.”
If you can’t increase the amount of mana, you will have to rely on Hyeonji in the end.
How are you going to handle the snowballing amount?
He was sure to hit the limit eventually, so Jeong Dae-sik swallowed dry saliva and waited for Entropy’s answer.
Entropy’s answer was, as always, simple.
