The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Chapter 364

Chapter 364: Although Kang

Seol excitedly declared to Shin Yu, he was actually quite upset.

‘I never thought the gap would be this big… Haven’t I gotten stronger?’

No, in fact, Shinyu’s skills could have remained the same.

Because the standards of comparison were different from the Shin brothers, it came down to me becoming a half-summoner.

‘I couldn’t even see what was going on.’

Spatial awareness and mental strength, Seon Jian was unable to properly process the information given.

It would be a different story if Shinyu’s attack had been received from the front, but his attack only left the feeling of a flash of light, like a passing scenery.

Of course, that didn’t mean Snowfall reached the point of frustration.

‘Defense is the problem.’

Even though it had incredible recovery power, it was just a toy for Shinyu, with a defense like a water balloon that bursts when pricked.

In fact, it was Snowfall’s night beast that exploded despite the wolf’s blow.

The night beasts fought each other with missiles.

If they were allowed to attack even once, they exchanged blows that would completely crush their bodies.

I chose this method because I thought it would be faster to recover after an attack rather than block such an attack. It may be useful against wolves, but it is not very useful against the strong.

“Where…”

In order to check how soft the night beast’s flesh was, Kang Seol wrapped his hands in magic and poked his hands into the beast’s body.

Souuuuuk…

“….”

The hand is sucked in without any resistance.

It felt like I had stuck my hand in a swamp.

– Irasshaimase~

– It’s kind of like a marshmallow lol

– Are you crazy about the high pass? Haha

Kangseol was very impressed.

Still, I thought it would feel somewhat tight, but it went in so easily.

‘Just a brush like this is a fatal wound.’

There was no point in recovering as I would be fatally injured every time.

In the end, the new task is to have defense capabilities above a certain level.

‘Defense power… it’s defense power…’

This process was also very difficult to create something from nothing, so materials were needed.

Since Kangseol was not immortal at the cost of creation, there was nothing he could do.

‘Uhm… you mean I have to take it out of what I have, right?’

Defense is strong.

As I tried to think of the attribute of hardness, I remembered the abilities that gave me that impression.

Jamard’s earth spell and Karen’s season of incomplete combustion.

Lastly, the bones of the beginning.

Jamard couldn’t be summoned, so it was meaningless, and the same goes for Karen. Even in Karen’s case, since the ability was seasonal, it was unclear how to use it.

“In the end, is it back to the beginning?”

The defense power of the bones of the beginning would be enough to achieve the performance that Snowfall wants.

It may look a little dull, but it still has little ability to match the original bone in terms of defense.

– We will find the answer, as always.

– Actually, it’s not us, it’s him.

– Is there a need for us to come forward?

Fortunately, Kangseol was quite good at handling the bones of origin.

Could it be because Karuna awakened with his extra-sensory Asura? It was a familiar sensation, like the wings of a bird that knows how to navigate the sky.

Rather than an ability, it is an instinct that comes from self-defense.

‘That means we have to instill that in this guy.’

The size of a medium-sized raven was so large that you would gasp when you saw it up close.

‘… To a guy like this?’

To put it in an analogy, snowfall is similar in size to a rabbit, a small night animal.

Just as it is very difficult to obtain clothes of the same design in larger sizes over a certain level, the process of putting the starting bones on him was expected to be a great hardship.

‘In the end, we have to construct the original bones over a large area…’

It is not an easy task. In the first place, I doubted whether it would even be possible.

widely-!

‘If you stick to it, you’ll get results.’

If you don’t know, banging your head together and then thinking again was a great decision-making process.

If you just think about it anyway, you won’t come to a conclusion.

Afterwards, snowfall hung on the bones of the beginning for another month.

The first action was to forcibly transplant the original bone.

Unlike the blood in the beginning, Kangseol was confident that it was made up of bones, so he thought he could just move on.

but.

Patter…

“….”

Because hardening was not carried out properly, the initially formed bone broke very easily.

At first, I didn’t think there would be any answer with that method, so I moved on to the next step.

‘In order to form the bones of the beginning….’

If we cannot hand over the bones of the beginning directly, how about making the bones be created from the body of a night beast?

Kang Seol thought so and immediately took action.

The principle of how the first bones were constructed was simple.

The phenomenon of blood clotting is the key to forming the original bones.

‘In the end, blood gathers to form bones.’

Just as thin cement later becomes hard, the original bones had to go through the same process.

The problem is how to cause that clot.

At first, Kang Seol focused on the blood vessels of the night beast that he modeled after himself.

‘I need to use this.’

Eventually, blood must drain out of the leather to create the original bone, so new blood vessels connected to the leather began to form.

These blood vessels were not connected to the heart, but to pre-made blood bags. The blood sac was responsible for storing the blood clots and sending them into the blood vessels.

And by adjusting the blood vessels to create congestion, the original bones can be formed with explosive force at the intended moment.

The explanation was grandiose, but sense replaced theory for half of it.

Whioooooo…

The beginning, complete with blood gushing out…

Patter…

“….”

The bones fell apart.

Because of the congestion, it was not possible to configure it all at once.

Kang Seol thought this was the right method and stuck to it for a while.

And the effort is successful.

“It’s a success!”

[The organ based on the blood sac fuses with the night beast.]

[The night beast can now create the primordial bone from its body.]

[The defense power of the primordial bone is proportional to the progenitor’s level.]

Stylish A night beast armed with armor.

Snowfall wanted to test this power right away, but it was not yet night.

Those who appear at night will be excellent opponents for your new power.

Twitch… twitch…

I tried to stay still, but I couldn’t help the corners of my mouth turning up without realizing it.

– Why is this happening?

– It’s the night before the school trip after buying new shoes lol

– Then I understand.

It wasn’t just viewers who were watching him.

Shin Rip and Shin Hyeon also watched his performance from a distance without disturbing him.

“How do you look?”

“It’s still a long way to go, but it’s still fun to watch…”

“… You have to experience it yourself to learn, so it’ll be like that this time too.”

Like that for a while.

Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr possible

night had fallen, and the cries of night animals came from the forest.

“come.”

It was the moment that snowfall had been waiting for.

* * *

Phew…

Taaaaaang-!

A wolf encountered in a fairly large area.

“ha ha ha!”

Phew…

Taaaaaang-!

Phew…

Taaaaaaaaaaa!

All of its attacks were canceled out by the original bones surrounded by the night beast.

“Success… a huge success.”

It feels like it’s literally overwhelming.

“Now take it down.”

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

!

When the night beast’s fist sticks into the wolf, the wolf is crushed to pieces.

Whioooo…

[The night beast gathers the darkness.]

[The darkness has accumulated very little.]

It was a very satisfactory result.

At this level, the whole situation would have ended before the increased resilience could be felt.

Now the most important work remains.

Maybe that’s the goal you want to achieve at the first gate using the night beast.

‘Staying overnight.’

Literally, if a night animal can fly safely for a night without snow, it will truly be a step forward to a new level.

That means you no longer have to be tied down to night hunting.

Is it really possible for the night beast to carry out this same process even when Kang Seol is not watching?

Sigh-!

‘… start!’

Boom… Boom…

The night beast disappeared across the forest with heavy steps.

The night beast is a being that inherits the blood of snowfall.

Under the influence of lineage, the location and condition of the person were passed down to the progenitor, Kang Seol.

After an hour like that….

“…what?”

The night beast fell.

Paaaa-!

Snowfall quickly ran to the place where the guy fell.

Kwaaang-!

Quaaaaang-!

The night beast was being trampled by the wolf.

Looking closely, it seemed like the attack hit a part not protected by the armor.

“….”

Twaaaaaaaaaa!

Snowfall summoned a new night beast and put an end to the wolf.

Quasi profit!

A wolf that stumbles and falls.

But the anger did not go away.

Snowfall observed the night beast recovering from its collapse.

In the first place, the bones could not cover the entire body, so they would eventually collapse if an attack was allowed to a poorly defended area.

Kang Seol closed his eyes and thought that the other person was Shin Yu.

‘… swarm. ‘It’s no match for me.’

Shin Yu could have knocked down a night beast with just one hand.

Kangseol thought as he touched the bones of the beginning, which were still intact even when he collapsed.

‘… too inefficient.’

Excessive defense power was concentrated in limited areas.

This defense could prevent local critical hits, but that was all.

Kang Seol returned that way and focused on his research again.

Whirling-!

Whirling-!

I summoned two night beasts of the same size and had one do defense and the other do offense.

Of course, according to the established procedures.

Taaaaaang-!

Instead of hitting the leather directly, the target was to hit the primordial bone that surrounds the body of the darkness.

“again.”

Taaaaaang-!

“again.”

Taaaaaang-!

Although it was just repeating the same actions, Snowfall was now looking for the optimal defense.

Just the level where it won’t be crushed by a single blow.

That was enough because I had an uncanny ability to recover.

Taaaaaang-!

“again.”

Every time the word “again” was spoken, the defense power of the original bone was gradually chipped away.

The original bones have lost much of their original splendid appearance.

Taaaaaang-!

“again.”

Cut it off

It must operate precisely.

In order to replace the main force for a while, there was no choice but to be strict.

Taaaaaang-!

Taaaaang!-

Taaaaaang-!

again.

again.

again.

– An old man carving night beasts….

– Night beasts, a master of daily life.

– Twenty-one million… Twenty-two million…

– Is it an intangible cultural asset? What is obsession?

Ta -ah …

Taaang …

Taean!

“… hmm?”

Snowfall raised her hand and stopped for a moment.

‘Has the sound changed?’

The bones of the beginning have already been chipped away for a long time.

Even the shape of the armor was vague.

Looking closely, there was a part that had been dented by the attack just now.

‘This is it!’

We finally found the critical point.

Snowfall immediately began preparations.

It was difficult to apply it immediately to the body of a night beast. First of all, the process we are about to go through is a first for Kang Seol.

“Whew…”

Kang Seol planned to apply the change to his body first. So to speak, it’s like a clinical trial.

Because he is much smaller and more adaptable than the night beast.

Whioooooo…

Blah blah blah…

Snowfall surrounding the bones of the beginning.

Hard bones surrounded him and protected him from the outside world.

‘Here…’

I had to give up the advantage of the bones of origin.

Unwavering defense.

‘You can shake it. No, you have to shake it.’

Just as a tree that is too strong breaks when a typhoon comes, armor that bends and distorts appropriately to suit the flexible body of the night beast was needed.

Chain armor was needed rather than plate armor.

‘Concentrate…’

I thought about dipping into a mud swamp.

Sensation as if the entire body is coated with sticky mucus.

The original bone was broken into small pieces and spread throughout the body.

Sigh…

“Ugh….”

My breathing became tight due to the pressure.

A feeling of being tortured.

‘A little looser than this…’

I get out of the mud and walk around the field for a while. Soon the mud on the body begins to harden.

That kind of feeling.

‘Yes… that feeling…’

Kang Seol had a peaceful expression, as if she was about to fall asleep. This entire process was a continuation of enlightenment.

The growth advantage granted by the jet-black labyrinth.

A state in which various abilities, including one mind, assist enlightenment.

The time that Kangseol spent in this process seemed like a lot, but considering that he had raised the level of summoning skills that had lagged behind, it was not a long time at all.

No, on the contrary, he was building up his status very quickly.

Sreuk…

Snowfall opened its eyes.

[The original bone changes into a different form.]

[This is a change, not an enhancement.]

[This is not a normal evolution process.]

[Maintains the total amount of power.]

[Enlightenment! A new ability is awakened.]

[Awakening the leather of the beginning.]

[The leather of the beginning is born!]

Snowfall checked the loose leather surrounding the body.

‘…just right.’

In the first place, I never wanted the next step.

Defense required. Because I wanted just that much.

“Come on.”

Kujik…

The night beast got down on one knee.

When Kangseol conveyed his will, he held out one palm forward.

Sigh…

Kang Seol hit his palm against that palm.

Sigh-!

That moment.

Whioooooooo…

The original skin surrounding Kangseol’s body began to move towards the night beast.

To be exact, the night beast is reading the information left in Snow’s body.

Whioooooo…

The night beast made of darkness had excellent basic abilities.

Among these, the most important abilities are absorption and imitation. The guy was like a sponge. I learned by watching and following along.

Darkness collapses many times and thus imitates light.

Finally, a new substance was added to the night beast’s body.

[The night beast awakens the primordial leather.]

[The night beast can use the blood bag to create the primordial leather.] [

Summoning the night beast has reached the state.]

A satisfactory result.

But the messages kept coming.

[enlightenment! A new ability is awakened.]

[Season: Awakening the Dark Life.]

[Season: The Dark Life is born!]
