163 – Superb Taste
Perhaps it was a special move created with all of her vitality and future potential as collateral.
But suicide is the last special move? It was strange.
Of course, she could commit suicide to avoid being used by blood mages or necromancers, but her ability felt too grandiose for that.
An ability that even the incarnation of the Seven Headed Dragons cannot recognize?
“Damn—!!”
Jo Ki-man, in a rare panic, quickly broke through Shayna’s own space, her multi-layered defense wall, and reached her.
Only a cold corpse with no shape left above the heart greeted him, but it was fortunate nonetheless.
As long as he doesn’t explode completely, there’s no hindrance to his predatory abilities.
Jogiman lifted Shayna’s arm, who was alone on the floor.
His arms were still warm. Before the dinner cooled down, he slowly slipped one of her fingers into her mouth.
Woodeuk-
Eating people alive.
How much trouble did you suffer because of this when you first regressed?
However, for Cho Ki-man, who had already known the taste of human meat a long time ago, this act became a moment he cherished.
“As expected… It’s the best. Those born with senses have a deep flavor. They have a good texture.”
Jogiman, who carefully wrapped up the remaining parts scattered everywhere and put them in his inventory, suddenly had a question.
“300 Times? The b*tch was reluctant to use it, saying that using the ability would shorten the lifespan and suffer from the pain of tearing the stomach?”
Shayna’s whim that never happened.
Moreover, she said it as if she was preparing for this moment to come, and that left sticky doubts in Jo Ki-man’s heart.
[Search]
Originally, it was a skill that could only be used by the Awakened, but it is an old search skill whose ability has been expanded through several regressions.
“… As expected, there is nothing. A b*tch like a dog is really embarrassing. She died without using any skills and only licked her mouth. Stupid b*tch.”
I looked at it several times, but no abilities were manifested in this space. However, I didn’t go anywhere with a dirty feeling, and I took out my anger by tearing up the space.
“Ah- really. Why does this message keep showing up late?”
Usually, when he was around other people, he pretended to be relaxed, befitting his age, but in fact, he wasn’t a very patient person.
After swearing and complaining for a while, I finally smiled at the message that popped into my head.
– You ‘devoured’ a sensory value holder with ‘top’ potential.
– Acquired the achievement [Ruler of the twisted senses]!
“The highest level… It’s far inferior to Yoon Han-gyeol’s ‘Unrecorded’, but it doesn’t matter. He’s dead.”
Jo Ki-man was relieved because he had checked it several times in the previous episode.
The fact that Shayna, except for Yoon Han-gyeol, is still, and will always be, the world’s most outstanding sensory arithmetic talent.
And that was to maximize the value of this achievement.
[The ruler of the twisted senses]
– Due to the power of the Seven Headed Dragons, the achievements have been greatly distorted. Additional damage is increased by 10 times, but the damage received is also increased by that amount.
– Locate all ‘sensation’ abilities that have a potential lower than that of the devoured Shayna Lane.
– Inflicts 1,000% additional damage to all ‘sensation’ abilities that have a lower potential than Shayna Lane’s potential.
– Receives 1,000% additional damage to all ‘sensation’ abilities that have a potential higher than that of Shayna Lane who ate it.
The point of this achievement wasn’t the extra damage. After all, there was no Hunter that he could not kill alone.
Of course, there was no reason to worry about receiving additional damage.
Humans with a higher sense level potential than Shayna no longer exist, and it was there that the damage of the non-combat type sensory ability increased.
Rather, the ability to determine the location of ‘sensation’ abilities that have lower potential than Shayna. This was the point.
That ability means that it will be able to determine the location of virtually all sensory abilities on this planet, so it is truly a tremendous achievement.
Since there are cases where the top-level dungeons cannot be progressed at all without guides with the ‘sense’ value, in fact, there is one person with this sense ability in the main party that leads dungeon exploration around the world.
So, figuring out the location of those with sensory abilities means being able to understand the dynamics of the strongest people on Earth, and that was enough to give Jo Ki-man an almighty sense of superiority as if he were looking at the battlefield from the sky. Of course, not to mention the strategic benefits.

“It got a bit cumbersome, but in the end there is a set way to go. hehehehe.”
Jo Ki-man’s smile was full of confidence that everything would go his way.
“Two-!”
Jo Ki-man spat on Shayna’s seat once and left immediately.
A few hours after he left.
Sarala Rock-
A small sprout has sprouted in the place where Shayna died.
That sprout was a very small possibility left by Shayna that even Jo Ki-man could not figure out.
An unknown ability that she manifested when she intuited her death.
She said that she knew everything, but she also didn’t know exactly what her abilities were.
Even in a situation where her death was imminent, Shayna, who devoted her energy to making Jogi-man even a little uncomfortable, was, in a way, a human being beyond the normal category.
Pong-!
Soon, a sprout the size of a pinky fingernail floated up and flew high into the sky with a single gust of wind.
It was the beginning of Shayna’s quest to find her owner who would inherit the possibility she had exchanged for her death.

“Haa-“
There was a woman who sighed for the ground to go out in the study, which was decorated with antique interiors. She had the full vitality of the woman in her twenties and thirties, but in fact she was a middle-aged woman well over a thousand.
And there was another woman standing in front of her woman with her head bowed.
“What should I do with you, Ha Yoon-ah?”
“·······.”
“Why do you keep delaying your promotion? Don’t say that you don’t like receiving help from other members. You know well that once you’ve risen to a higher level, your skills will follow. It means that the world of exploring dungeons while building .
“·······.”
Lim Dong-soo. No Ha-yoon’s mother and also an early Awakener, she had an extremely delicate personality contrary to her rough name.
Then, it was caught on her radar that there was something wrong with her youngest daughter’s behavior. She tried so she called it out into her own space once.
‘When did you grow up like this…’
Even she, known by the grandiose nickname of the Witch of the Cold, was helpless in front of her youngest daughter’s stubbornness.
The child who was so afraid of himself when he was little has now grown up quite a bit, and he is showing a strong determination that does not bend his claim.
‘I’m not a child like this for no reason…’
But when I asked her why, she kept her mouth shut and just asked for more time.
“Did you say Lee Yeon-hee?”
“······!”
“… I heard that he’s been very active lately. Something has changed since he joined the party.”
“·······.”
“…… Do you like that boy by any chance?”
“No, what! No!”
“Hoho- I’m open-minded about that. Don’t be shy and tell me.”
“Not really. That kind of taste… But it’s true that it has a positive effect on me.”
“…How much of an impact? If it’s not a benefit beyond the limit-“
“To that extent… I’m watching.”
“·······.”
I just threw out the information I had heard, but it seemed that there was something about Lee Yeon-hee.
I’m definitely not a child who would say that I’m beyond the extreme. Today, in many ways, he showed an unexpected appearance.
“Okay. But it’s only once in this level. After that, just upgrade. After that, I’ll give you some free time.”
He didn’t have anything to say to his son who had grown up a long time ago, but Ha-yoon Noh was so happy that he clenched his fists.
And while looking at his daughter like that, Lim Dong-soo took out a ring from his inventory and gave it to his lovely daughter.
In front of Noh Ha-yoon, a small ice road was created that he could come down by riding only one ring. It was a transformation of ice that required extremely precise control, but to her witch, it was simpler than breathing.
“This… Is too much for me to wear-“
“Stop talking about it and wear it. There’s no guarantee that something like the last dungeon break won’t happen again. Do you know how surprised I was when I heard the news? Thinking of that time, locking it in a room wouldn’t be enough.”
“… I understand. Thank you, mother.”
“Tsk- go.”
No Ha-yun politely bowed to her mother and after a few backward steps she moved her steps outside.
……
“… Whoops. My choice was right.”
Im Dong-soo looked at the place where Ha-yoon Noh had left and smiled with satisfaction. Did she say that even if you go to Moro, you only have to go to Seoul? In any case, her daughter was growing rapidly within the expected range.
Ugh-
Lim Dong-soo opened his own space, which he had temporarily killed, to the maximum.
There were no external changes to the study, but this space now belonged exclusively to her. She has a place of her own that no one else can touch.
“Haam-“
After sleeping for several days before Ha-yoon Noh came in, she fell into an indefinite sleep again. Even the Witches of the Cold Cold were not exempt from the limitations that the early Awakeners had.
* * *
The morning was bright. Yeon-hee tossed and turned for a long time last night before finally falling asleep at the end of the morning.
“Oh, hello…”
“Tickktoktaktak!!”
Thanks to Yeon-hee, the shade under her eyes was lost for the first time. It was attractive in its own right, but conditioning was an important part when entering a dungeon, so I had no choice but to be worried.
Especially today’s dungeon is where the Orc low-ranking warriors who harassed us are at the center.
The name of the dungeon is ‘Oak-D-177’.
It means that it is the 177th dungeon that has received a grade D judgment among the Orc dungeons created in our country.
There are so many dungeons where orcs are the main ones, so naming them in the order they were created made the names of the dungeons simpler.
Dungeons are created and disappear repeatedly, but the rate of dungeons disappearing decreases and the number of dungeons created increases. This is what I’ve been through, so I can confirm it.
Anyway, we planned to spend at least a few days in the Orc Dungeon to gain experience. Of course, I don’t know if it will go as planned.
Shoot aaa
The sound of Yeon-hee washing it tickled my ears from earlier. Of course, I don’t have ears, but I feel that way.
Since I am a skeleton with a conscience, I intentionally spread the waves of my senses widely so that I could not understand her body in detail. I wonder if Yeon-hee knows that I am such a gentlemanly skeleton.
Click-
I heard her wash and come out into the living room.
“······ Turn your head. If you look back, you’ll get scolded!”
I was already turning her head out of her window, but she dared to say that into the back of my head. It’s very unfortunate.
She didn’t even go right into the room and looked at my back for a while.
