Chapter 183 In-myeon poleToss or not to throw or not… In the end, Yoon Tae-seong decided to throw. Even if I fail, I should take comfort in the ability of the Steel Golem to improve.
‘This ever-evolving weapon is very special. Then… wouldn’t it be right to completely immerse myself in this?’
Even the spirit of death said, ‘That’s right!’ ‘ he vibrated.
No matter how greedy he is, he cannot understand why the Spirit of Death is greedy for items with divine attributes.
Do you want runes applied to items?
‘Yeah, it’s very likely. As it absorbs more and more runes, it evolves more and more.’
It’s not an item, it’s absorbing the item’s rune. To be precise, it would absorb the structure of the runes.
‘Yes, you eat!’
Black luck arose and devoured the high priest’s staff Yoon Tae-seong was holding. After that, Black Luck wiggled and moved, and it turned into Asuka’s Greatsword, not the Death Side.
However, the grip of the great sword has changed.
‘The High Priest’s Staff?’
Is it because they are weapons that use the same attributes? The divine power seems to have gotten stronger.
It seems that the power of the magic stone possessed by the high priest’s staff has been absorbed by the greatsword.
As I gripped the grip of the bayonet, it felt familiar.
– Summoned Chimera
Well, the name of the skill doesn’t really matter. Because communion with the contracted entity is important.
Two Chimeras were summoned.
Yoon Tae-seong did a few more tests with Asuka’s Greatsword, and found that using the Fury of Holy increased his power even more.
Other than that, nothing has changed in the other form. However, it feels like the eyes of the spirit in the middle of the Death Side have changed slightly.
‘It certainly evolves while absorbing the runes.’
Steel golems become stronger by absorbing magic stones and artifacts, and this one absorbs runes.
‘Is a totem possible?’
You also need to make a totem.
The management office talked to Lee Min-joon about the holding company.
Neither the bureaucracy nor the police could find any traces.
Lee Min-jun has psychometry skills. You can see the traces left in the space.
The problem is that you can’t track him.
Wouldn’t it be possible if it was the method Huxley used? So I was trying to find out if it was possible to make a totem with Illusion.
There is no need to craft a totem that overlaps with a potion, and since a totem is a magic attribute, there must be certain things that are possible among skills.
Just because you use runes with mana ink doesn’t mean that it functions as a totem.
Since I have three days, I wanted to do as many things as possible.
For three days like that, I only used the runes of the skill. Tearing to see if the totem’s effect occurs, he found two skills.
Fortunately, the illusion was possible.
Another skill was Gravity.
‘After all, the totem is a skill that indirectly and continuously affects the space is applied.’
Gravity increases gravity and illusion creates illusions. You could make something like a maze.
It’s useful, but not very useful… This seems to be the limit of the totem.
Anyway, I made a totem using illusion.
Three days later, Tae-seong Yoon went back to the dungeon management office.
After receiving the artifact entrusted to Choi So-hee, I decided to meet Lee Min-jun.
The samurai sword, a katana made in Japan, didn’t seem particularly effective, but the design was nice, the quality was good, and it was very well made.
However, considering that it is an artifact, the price is quite high.
“Are there any improvements by applying Kinesis?”
“You can use this.”
A translucent energy was overlaid on the sword. It is very sharp, like a sword.
“Of course, you have to be able to use magic, and I don’t really need it.”
I have the Kinesis skill, but I didn’t need the skill applied to the item.
Black Luck appeared from the ring and devoured the Samurai Sword. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a fairly well-made weapon, and the purpose was to strengthen the steel golem.
“It’s a strange item.”
It’s the same item that made the barge, so it absorbs artifacts?
“It can be transformed into many shapes.”
“It’s a real nano machine. I improved the power suit, would you like to try it?”
Outwardly, it was the same as the previous prototype. However, the design of the rune inside was slightly different.
“I applied alchemy by applying mana absorption and healing. So five mana cores are included.”
Haste, Strength, Shield, Heal, Magic Absorption!
It is an artifact that applies a total of five skills, and no one has developed it until now.
No, I can’t actually develop it.
If you want to apply multiple skills at the same time, the structure of the runes will affect each other, and you have to design them in a complex way.
However, it took only 3 days to apply the heel to create an artifact.
A complex flow of magical power was generated in the suit, and it penetrated into the body.
It is different from the flow of magic absorption. However, the way it was used was very similar.
However, the flow goes in a direction that Tae-Sung Yoon did not expect. Not the heart, but the mana core attached to the suit’s back.
“Is the flow going to the mana core?”
“Without the heart circle, the structure of the runes would not be complete. So we redesigned it around one core. It is similar to regenerative jaundice. The consumption of mana was minimized, and the flow of mana became smoother.”
I accepted the advice of Tae-Sung Yoon, and developed it one step further by using it.
“In this way, even the Awoken can use it!”
“Perhaps it will. It has limitations in performance, but it is better than nothing.”
Of course it’s better than nothing.
After finishing the lab work, Yoon Tae-seong went straight to the support team’s office.
Tae-hyeok Lee saw Tae-seong Yoon and greeted him first.
‘Is this this person?’
I heard that there are hunters who are good at tracking and work as a solver. I didn’t know it was Lee Tae-hyuk.
He is an Awakener who learns the skills of various attributes, and he is good at fighting as he is a fighter by nature.
“Nice to meet you. Was the solver that Lee Min-joon talked about was Tae-hyeok?”
“Haha, I’m a little famous on this floor.”
“Are you here?”
As Lee Min-jun entered the office, he greeted me.
“First, we go to the police station. In order to conduct an on-site investigation, the cooperation of the National Police Agency is required.”
The guy called Inmyeonjiju is much crueler than I thought, because it kills people and eats only their brains.
First, he is bound with a spider’s web before attacking, whose web is as hard as steel.
The body is poisoned with a strong poison, and the body is not at the level of decomposition. It almost melts over time.
It’s been so long, there’s no hope of getting caught. That is why the National Police Agency has almost given up on it and only takes formal investigations.
But there were also serious, passionate detectives in this case.
“Haha… fuck!”
“Senior, that’s up to the Management Bureau anyway. It’s not a crime, it’s just monster hunting.”
“Hey, you fucking bastard! That monster is killing people!”
“What are you going to catch and prosecute? Let the administration handle it. All we have to do is hand over the data there and it’s over.”
Kang Hyeong-man tried to slap his junior in the head, but put up with it.
In fact, he wasn’t wrong, and the Special Investigation Unit has too many dangerous things. To be honest, catching the Awoken is something you really have to risk your life for.
‘How am I supposed to catch this guy? Are there really no signs of anything at the scene?’ As I was thinking, two people came in.
It was Lee Min-jun, Lee Tae-hyeok, and Yoon Tae-seong, the psychometric talents of the management office.
“Hello, Detective Kang.”
“I can’t say goodbye. What’s up? It’s a little scary when you come.”
In some cases, the police have requested cooperation from the management office, but the reverse also occurs.
In some cases, the management department first requested a police investigation, most of which were serious cases or brutal awakenings.
Lee Min-jun specializes in criminal pursuits at the Bureau, and Lee Tae-hyeok was also famous for his role as a solver in that way.
Tae-Sung Yoon is here… How serious is this?
“Can I see the scene of the Inmyeonjiju incident?”
“Inmyeon Landlord? I thought something else… a serial killer had appeared. Didn’t you give up on that?”
“I put it off my hands for a while because I had other work to do.”
“What is different about seeing the scene? We didn’t find anything.”
Lee Min-joon and Lee Tae-hyuk have already seen the scene several times. Still, I couldn’t find the face holder.
Apart from hunting monsters, first find the location of the monster and do something.
“It will be a little different this time.”
There are totems that use illusions, so if you use the method Huxley used, you can definitely find them.
Lee Min-joon reads the traces with psychometry and uses a totem to show it.
Taehyuk Lee sees it and uses his tracking skill.
“Well, since I am also looking at the scene photos. Nothing came out of the forensics class.”
“Let’s go to the site first.”
Kang Hyungman also got up with a confused expression and put on his clothes. Of course, I wanted to catch a guy called Inmyeonjiji and make sure there were no more victims, but I didn’t expect much.
took the weapon.
The Desert Eagle used by the Awakening Special Investigation Unit, there was no such thing as blank bullets.
They entered the apartment where the incident took place, where the whole family was killed by the gnome.
There was a police line attached to the door, but the inside had already been cleaned up.
“It was summer, so I was watching TV with the balcony door open. All three of my family were beaten by him.”
They think of humans as prey. It is wrapped around a spider web as hard as steel and hung upside down from the ceiling.
Then it eats the human brain.
So the scene was full of blood, and the body looked more terrifying than the mutilated corpse. Because of its poison, the decay of the corpse was very severe, and sometimes the body melted and only the bones were left.
Then, on the floor, the traces of the melted and spilled corpse are scattered.
Lee Min-jun used psychometry.
Quite unusual among the skills of the mental attribute, it affects not only the mind, but also the outside. It is usually used to dig into someone’s mind to obtain information, but it could also be used like psychometry of superpowers.
The flow of magical power spreads like a net, looking for traces of any memories left in this space.
Of course, Lee Min-joon was the only one who could see it.
It’s not that he sees it with his eyes, but that his mind perceives information.
“What do you think? Did you come up with anything?”
Detective Kang Hyung-man asked urgently.
Taesung Yoon said this time would be different, so I thought there would be some special way, but it was no different from before.
However, Lee Min-joon pulled out his secret weapon.
I heard from Tae-Sung Yoon, but is this really possible?
It was a long piece of paper with small letters written on it. When you tear it, the illusion skill is revealed, making the memory of the space seen through psychometry visible to others.
ripped the paper Then, the ink of mana created by the totem crafting skill started to react. The runes subtly glow and disappear into the air, creating a flow of magic.
That started to make the memory of the space that Lee Min-jun sees like a fantasy.
Tae-Sung Yoon, Tae-Hyeok Lee, and Hyung-Man Kang could see it in person.
After a while the shape faded, but it was recognizable enough.
Although Kang Hyeong-man had seen the site a lot, it was the first time he saw the process in person.
I thought it would be cruel.
But seeing it in reality and imagining it are two completely different things.
It was so brutal that it made me nauseous. No, should I say something bizarre and terrifying?
When I saw a spider a little bigger than the palm of my hand that devours the brain, fear appeared along with anger.
“Use the tracking skill on him.”
It was the first time for Lee Tae-hyeok to use his tracking skill in this way. Usually, it is common to leave a mark and track it yourself.
Is it really possible to use skills in an illusion?
But that is not a fantasy created by imagination. Based on the memories left in space, it is to accurately recognize the gnome.
Tae-hyeok Lee made a mark by using his skill toward the illusion of In-myeon Ji-joo.
