Episode 193 – Taesan gets more and more difficult
I use all the skills I have.
Easier said than done, but actually taking action is completely different.
It’s not easy to even think of all the technologies I can use right now.
‘Shadow control and… I can handle a little bit of blood, and I think there was something else….’
Yongin Hwar and Yongin Hwa have other techniques that can be used separately.
First of all, copies are excluded. Although copying itself is my skill, the premise itself is to imitate someone else’s work.
If I include the copy, I will never be able to advance to the next level for the rest of my life.
Don’t try to do everything well at once.
The first thing to do is to become familiar with technologies that you don’t often use.
The next step is to compile all the technologies. If you try to use technologies that you are not good at combining, you will only end up regressing.
So, start by slowly increasing your proficiency for each skill.
“Shadow control first.”
Should I say this is fortunate?
My shadow control skill was not as low as I expected.
It’s not like I’ve ever practiced separately.
My skill level seems to have increased significantly while making the Shadow Greatsword in the Black Forest.
In addition, I think the human nature itself has become stronger, and more than anything, it seems that by taking the heart of the Dragon Demon, I have become stronger physically, magically, and mentally.
Furthermore, until the Shadow Greatsword, it was impossible to inflict significant damage with a shadow.
Even if I concentrated all my mind, I could only hold on to my body for a moment.
But now….
‘It can also be used as a weapon.’
Of course, it is possible to just let it pass like in the past, but it has also become possible to materialize it by injecting magical power.
If you’re in a hurry, it might be possible to make it into a sword.
‘Shadow control has endless uses.’
This is because there is no set form.
You can respond to various situations whenever you want.
“Like this.”
Wow!
A shadow rising from the floor pierces the body of a beast.
Moreover, this place is in a forest filled with trees.
There are many shadows other than those of animals.
It means that the shadows cast from all directions have made holes in him like a sponge.
‘This is my territory.’
Of course, the more shadows there are, the better it will be for me.
‘I thought about everything, but… I feel like I’m getting closer to a dark knight than a paladin.’
This sword energy resembles the color of Dina’s eyes, and the magic power is like that.
Although the clear and clean purple magical power was pretty to look at, it did not look like a paladin at all.
In addition, a very small amount of the magic power of Kania, a dhampir, is floating around in her body, and her body is a mixture of a dragon and a demon.
If you use Yonginhwa, you will end up looking like a demonic executive.

‘Now I’m stronger in the dark….’
Anyone can see that he behaves like a villain.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter… ‘Is there one?’
It’s not immediate, but in the future, I too will be rolling on the battlefield.
So, before going to fight the Demon King.
At that time, if you think I am the enemy and attack you… ?
“…… “It’s a big deal.”
I wouldn’t be easily defeated by someone right now, but if an attack comes while I’m fighting….
But that doesn’t mean there’s anything that can be changed now.
Magical power has become completely purple, and it makes no sense to throw away useful skills like shadow control.
‘I have no choice but to become strong enough to not have any problems even if something like that happens.’
It wasn’t that difficult. If you think about the current growth rate.
‘For now, let’s focus on the immediate situation.’
Vampire beasts are not very strong enemies, but that does not mean you can let down your guard.
Above all, how many other opponents are this suitable for practicing shadow control?
If you try to use it against Stia, you will not be able to use it properly due to lack of skill and will be defeated, and if your opponent is a very weak monster, you will not be able to practice.
This means that this is the perfect place for training.
‘How else can it be used?’
Shadow control is a bit soft to use as defense.
The momentary power is fast and strong.
And since shadows exist anytime and anywhere, it is also possible to launch a surprise attack during battle.
‘Shadow control is mainly about support.’
Even if it only lasts for a moment, if you can stop the other person’s body.
If it can be slowed down at least a little, it would be a huge benefit.
Because there is no way I would miss that opportunity.
Also, I didn’t know that it would be able to present a new world of long-distance attacks to me, who had virtually no long-distance attacks except for the breath and beams fired while in dragon mode.
‘Will it work?’
Just give it a try.
The shadow flickers once.
The target is the furthest bear-shaped vampire.
Sharply pull out a strand of shadow and project it towards him.
‘Shadow Dagger!’
It was fired with a small sound and swung! It flew and landed right in the center of the bear’s chest.
“Kkuyeo!”
Although it was a shadow dagger that was much smaller than its size, the bear was struck and fell down, dying instantly on the spot.
‘It’s more powerful than I thought.’
Is it possible to try harder?
This time, instead of a single strand, a slightly larger size is injected.
‘Shadow Spear!’
Although the name seemed very rough, the power was not.
The long spear of shadow shot out and pierced the waist of the tiger-shaped vampire beast.
The power of the thin spear was so strong that its body was split into two pieces around the waist.
It wasn’t as powerful as the Spear, but considering that it didn’t consume that much magical power and mental power, it had more than enough power.
However, perhaps because my goal was too high, I was not satisfied.
‘I think the power could be stronger….’
Is it possible to make the shadow window larger?
But before the experiment can be done, vampire beasts attack like crazy.
I was trembling as if I was trembling with fear earlier, and it felt like I was attacking something I couldn’t escape anyway.
‘First, take a step back and focus on Durandal… uh?’
But maybe it was because I was too focused on controlling the shadows.
My left foot, which had been taking a step back, suddenly went down.
‘It’s a mistake! I stepped on the wrong ground….’
No, that wasn’t it.
This is not just a case of stepping on the wrong ground and stumbling….
Swoowoo!
‘Into the shadows?’
My body was being sucked into the inside of my shadow.
‘Even something like this was possible.’
In a way, it was natural.
It is a technique that a vampire can naturally perform, and vampire beasts also jumped out from the shadows earlier.
I have never used Cania before, but it was definitely possible to use it.
… And, completely absorbed in the shadows, I was able to realize in just a few seconds why Kania did not use this technique.
It feels like sticky slime is hugging my whole body.
Discomfort is rising through the sky.
I can’t even distinguish between front and back, sides and top and bottom, so my head spins and I feel nauseous.
The fact that it was dark in front of my eyes and I couldn’t see clearly was a bonus.
“… ….”
Moreover, the biggest problem is….
‘How do I get out of this?’
Just as you don’t know how to get in, you also don’t know how to get out.
Of course, there were other problems as well.
As time passed, I gradually adapted to the darkness and was fortunate to be able to see my surroundings.
If only there weren’t blood-sucking beasts everywhere.
“Ah… really.”
Vampire beasts swimming freely in the darkness and rushing towards me.
On the other hand, for me, the best thing to do is to flail my arms and legs in place.
I don’t know how to move!
No, it’s not really just the limbs that are moving.
Like a weightless body, it kept spinning around in place as if rolling forward.
“… “You want me to fight in this state?”
I unconsciously opened my mouth and muttered at the absurdity that went beyond the limit.
Oh, and now. There is only one piece of optimistic news.
When I opened my mouth, this soft and sticky shadow did not enter my mouth.
I guess it’s natural since it didn’t enter the ears or nostrils.
Now. This is the end of the optimistic side.
“Uh….”
As I looked at the vampire beasts swimming in the air towards me, I had to hold back the nausea rising from inside due to their spinning bodies.
Yes. Isn’t it originally said that people only work well when urgent situations arise?
Let’s think of it as such a situation now. This is where you master shadow control and leave.
I wondered if I had the right to say this to someone who couldn’t even control his body properly, but whatever.
First, Durandal heads towards the wolf that runs first… what.
“Where has my Durandal gone!”
Durandal has disappeared.
Even if I try to summon it, it doesn’t work.
Is it really impossible to use Durandal in the shadows?
Then you really want me to fight without a weapon when I can’t even control my body properly?
Fortunately, there seems to be some conscience in the world, so the magic remains the same.
But the downside is the same.
‘Then shadow control is….?’
Oh. Do.
