Return To Level Up

Chapter 94

‘The progress is too slow.’

At 38%, erosion was no longer occurring. I stood there for a long time, staring at the bowl, but it didn't change as if it wasn't going to go up anymore.

In the end, I had no choice but to shake my head and leave.

I wanted to check the results, but that doesn't mean I can't wait a few days here.

After that, Kang Ha-jin looked for relics that were eroded again.

Of course, he did not forget to try to obtain more in-depth information through a peek at each artifact.

Ha-jin Kang, who was checking a few artifacts like that, stopped in front of the stylish window for the second time.

It didn't seem like the original window in this museum.

It also seemed like a weapon used by the Asian side, not the European side. Unsurprisingly, Nicholas, who was following me around, started explaining.

“This is something I originally had as a private collection. It is said to be a spear used in China long ago. It is said that it was used by a very famous general, but to be honest, nothing has been proven.”

It did not appear to have been a voluntary donation.

As Ha-jin Kang was carefully examining the window, Nicholas spoke again.

“You must be interested in weapons. After all, most Awoken are interested in weapons.”

The reason Kang Ha-jin is interested in this spear is that the erosion is over.

[under erosion]

[Erosion in progress. 99%.]

That's 99%. I don't know when the 99% became the 99%, but somehow, if I waited a little longer, the erosion seemed to be over.

Hajin Kang wanted to confirm that moment.

What will happen after erosion? And by what action does that artifact turn into an item?

The sense that I have been honing hard in the past may be able to play a role this time.

The moment when the awakened person awakens, that is, the moment when ordinary people are connected to the system, was confirmed through the owner of the black market, Choi Dae-gil.

And now it is possible to check the moment when an object is connected to the system.

So time went on.

When Ha-jin Kang did not move and only checked the window, the rest of the party started to get bored and scattered to other places.

And Nicholas couldn't stay there either.

“Hey, you shouldn’t move separately like this… I can’t help it. Ha-jin Kang here loves this spear so much.”

Nicholas shook his head and headed towards the rest of the party.

After looking through the windows, he asked the gods several times to make sure to visit him.

Of course, I didn't just leave Ha-jin Kang. He called another employee and ordered him to wait with Ha-jin until the end.

Time kept on passing.

Eventually, after an hour, the employee who was waiting with him yawned and looked at Ha-jin Kang and the window alternately with tired eyes.

I wondered what the hell was in that window that made me stare like that. Of course, that curiosity was quickly blown away by boredom.

Everyone was so bored, but Hajin Kang wasn't.

As he continued to concentrate, he was able to see the changes taking place in the window little by little.

In other words, the process of erosion was captured by the senses.

Perhaps it was possible because this spear was at the edge of the erosion.

If we had continued to watch the 38% pottery over there, we would not have achieved such a result.

In any case, it was a very refreshing and attractive moment for Ha-jin Kang to grasp the process of erosion gradually through the senses.

And it was an opportunity for growth.

‘It’s over!’

Hajin Kang confirmed the last moment of erosion.

It's knowing the exact timing when the system connects to that window.

He had been so focused all this time, it was as if he could grasp the connection with his hand.

Hajin Kang stretched out his hand without realizing it.

And he grabbed the air.

[Blood Spear]

[Spear that ate the blood of ten thousand people. It contains the blood and souls of ten thousand people. Health +100, Strength +100, Agility +100, Magical +100, Life +5000, Skill 'Cheonchammanryuk' can be used. It is given the title ‘everyone’.]

Kang Ha-jin was surprised. Isn't that a great weapon?

Now I understand why Britain is so wary of museums.

If these items keep coming out, everyone will have no choice but to cherish it.

Hajin Kang pondered for a moment what to do with the string of the system he was holding in his hand.

Strictly speaking, that spear hasn't become an item yet.

It was like capturing the moment when Ha-jin Kang changed into his item and blocking it for a while.

'what a waste.'

It was very sad that I had to leave that window alone.

If you take that, Ha-jin Kang can use it, or Su-yeong Hwang, who uses a spear as her main weapon, can use it.

Maybe if Hwang Soo-young uses it, it will really fly.

I'm still struggling because I don't have enough mana, but how great would it be if I held a spear that increased my mana and all stats except for mental power by 100?

Ha-jin Kang, who held the edge of the system in his hand, looked at it with a mixture of regret and greed.

'Well?'

Kang Ha-jin was surprised.

The tip of the system he held in his hand started tickling his palm.

His hand tickled, but he did not open his clenched fist.

She is now starting to tingle. He felt like he was being stabbed with a needle, but Hajin Kang endured it.

At first, she was just sad, but as time went on, she felt a little different.

The pain grew bigger and bigger.

She now felt like she was cutting her hand with her knife.

She seemed to stab the wound with a knife and stir.

Suddenly, her pain increased so much that she almost stretched out her hand.

But in the end she endured to the end.

The pain that followed was different from the previous one.

It was as if someone had forcibly ripped his hand. Even though it only caused pain, it felt far more brutal than being cut with a knife.

And I felt as if someone had cut off my hand.

Startled, he looked at his hand, but it was still attached. But apparently someone cut it.

The feeling of the hand disappearing was very clear. The pain, of course, followed.

This time, instead of feeling pain in my hand, my wrist hurt. The pain seemed to rise as the hand disappeared.

It went on and on.

Then the forearm disappeared, and then the whole arm.

Then my shoulder was torn off, and it felt like someone was pulling my heart out for the last time.

The pain piercing his chest almost made him lose consciousness.

However, Hajin Kang endured the whole process until the end.

The pain was long and hard, but the final fruit was sweet.

[Absorbs eroded system information.]

The moment the words appeared on Ha-jin Kang's retina, all the pain disappeared like a lie.

Also, the sensations in the arms and hands that had disappeared returned as if nothing had ever happened.

Hajin Kang blankly looked at his hand.

Her clenched fists held the edge of the system until a moment ago. But now there was nothing.

It was just holding the air.

Hajin Kang released his hand. He was about to cramp his hand so tightly that he was holding it.

He shifted his gaze and looked at the displayed window. And he confirmed the information.

No information came to mind.

There was no more information that it was being eroded or that it was over.

Originally, the window that should have had special powers connected to the system has returned to a normal window.

So where did that lost power go?

Ha-jin Kang checked his information and nodded his head.

came in exactly. in a bit of an odd shape.

Once the title and skill were separated, they came in.

The title of 'Manyin Cham' was created, and the skill 'Cheoncham Manryuk' was added to the list.

And two completely new skills emerged.

[Extortion (A)]

[Intercepts the power granted by the system. It can be used only by capturing the moment when the system grants power.]

[Ability Stacking (P)]

[Saves the intercepted power through extortion and accumulates it in the original stats. Current storage status: Stamina+100, Strength+100, Agility+100, Mana+100, Vitality+5000]

When I checked it, I was a little confused.

‘Is it possible to intercept the additional ability of the item?’

Of course, it doesn't happen with any item, you have to capture the moment when it is connected to the system exactly, but anyway, it was a skill that was close to fraud.

‘And why did the skill come so easily?’

Recklessly repeating something doesn't make it a skill. It is only when several special conditions are satisfied that the foundation is created, and skills are created on top of it.

Of course, there were few known skills that could make it that way.

The surest way to acquire a skill is to download it from the system.

However, Hajin Kang created skills through specific actions in unexpected situations.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Hajin Kang shook his head to shake off his thoughts. And I checked the title and skill attached to her spear.

[Everyone]

[A title given to those who killed 10,000 humans and drank all their blood. Or a title given to those who possessed the weapon used at that time. Spirit +30, life release.]

[Cheonchammanryuk]

[You can put multiple attacks in one knife. A minimum of 10 times and a maximum of 10000 times are possible. The attack direction is irregular, and when more than 1000 attacks are included, the ‘torrent’ will automatically unfold.]

You have to try it yourself to know its effectiveness.

It would be really useful if multiple attacks happened all at once, but if it happened sequentially, it could be dangerous to use depending on the situation.

Hajin Kang also checked all the other things that came with the title and skill.

[Release life]

[Killing 10,000 people and releasing the accumulated life at once. People exposed to living have limited movement. The success rate depends on the difference in mental strength and proficiency.]

[Torrent]

[Creates a flow of intense magic. Affects everything based on magic.]

Life release was a skill that was sure to be very useful.

It was also good that the success rate was due to the difference in mental strength. Because Ha-jin Kang has a much higher mental power than other people.

It was not an exaggeration to say that once it is used against people, it can be used almost unconditionally.

And it was impossible to know the exact effect of the torrent without directly using it.

This, too, seemed to have to be checked later while writing Cheonchammanryuk.

In any case, there was too much to be gained for a short wait.

Of course, it took a lot of patience to get it.

The museum employee who kept watching Ha-jin Kang standing still, clenching his fists and shaking his head, finally spoke carefully.

“Are you okay with me?”

"Ah yes. Fine. Now that I've seen it all, I want to go see another artifact.”

Ha-jin Kang calmed down and said so with a pleasant smile.

The staff tilted their head, but soon smiled and guided us to the next place.

“They are quite far apart. Would you like to go right there?”

"no."
