Chapter 458
470. Heartburn 1
“You want me to keep things a secret about a thug?”
“I don’t think there is a need to have a private conversation with the manager in the first place, but Jiah Lee will stick around.”
“I know. I was thinking of talking to the manager.”
After Kang Seung-hyun escaped from the hideout, he went to find Lee Ji-ah’s body, which was wandering around the alley.
“Please don’t give me any information about the black beast, or even Kim Ho-jung.”
“You really don’t trust the manager. okay.”
“I’d rather trust Mr. Alec’s bullshit than trust the manager.”
“If I were the manager, I would have cried a little after hearing that.”
Lee Ji-ah muttered those words as she mumbled the walnut cookies she had bought from a street vendor.
“But don’t you already know? He’s the status window manager, so if you just look at Mr. Hojeong’s status window, you’ll see all sorts of things about him.”
“You won’t know if we don’t tell you.”
Kang Seung-hyun explained about the [blurred hatred] he witnessed in the unconscious world.
“A skill that causes cognitive impairment when an administrator tries to look at Kim Ho-jeong… Since it is activated even in the subconscious world, where the skill cannot be used, it will also affect the status window.”
For example, wouldn’t it be that the moment the manager approaches Kim Ho-jung’s status window, it causes cognitive impairment, making it look like an ordinary dimension mover’s status window?
“Ah, that’s why you asked.”
“What?”
“Didn’t Uncle Ho-jung remain in your dream? At that time, the manager looked at us and asked why no one was worried when Mr. Hojeong looked sloppy.”
“Tsk, quick-witted bastard… So what did you say?”
I wondered if it had already been leaked without thinking.
“I said I didn’t care because it always happened. Alec and Suyeon unnie said the same thing.”
“exorcism. Model remarks.”
Fortunately, this party was a group of people with no thoughts or conscience, so Kang Seung-hyun’s worries did not happen.
“Then let’s go soon. Lee Ji-ah, just waste your time leisurely.”
“Oh no. I’ll do my best to waste it.”
-‘It definitely increased a lot.’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the people who filled the Hind town square.
Normally, it was a neighborhood where only typical Azul continental style adventurers could be seen, but now it was full of people dressed in modern clothes such as hoodies and jeans, or even more online game looks than Azul continent.
‘It wasn’t just foreigners.’
If you look closely, you can see that the villagers of Hind village are walking around wearing jackets, T-shirts, jumpers, and even hanbok that dimension movers would wear.
Those who wear Kang Seung-hyun’s trademark white coat are a bonus.
‘Is this also Korean Town?’
It’s a different feeling from what I expected, but first of all, the people of Hind village seemed to like the way Koreans spread K-culture.
‘I’ve roughly grasped the atmosphere of the village…’
Kang Seung-hyun, who entered the alley, opened the achievement window while leaning against the wall.
‘First, take care of this.’
Kang Seung-Hyun unlocked 3 achievements this time.
[Accomplishment Accomplished: Waking up from a long sleep]
[Achieved when reaching the unconscious space and retrieving the essence of ‘Azul’, the first god sealed in the Cube of Eternity.]
One was achieved when the Cube of Eternity was destroyed.
[Achievement Accomplished: The Key to Unchain]
[Achieved when the Holy Vessel is fully filled.]
The second was achieved when the remaining Holy Relics were completely ground and the [Divine Vessel] was filled with grass.
[Achievement Achievement: Mind Weapon]
[Achieved when you use a Mind Weapon with emotional imprinting for the first time.]
The last one was achieved when you used the [Blue Moon Dagger] to destroy the holy relic.
‘Let’s check in order from the bottom.’
[Mind Weapon].
As you can tell just by looking at the achievement name, it refers to a weapon made of Pektosite.
‘I was wondering what to call this, but it was a more direct name than I thought.’
Seunghyun Kang pressed the [Receive reward] button.
Really fortunately, I didn’t hear a sound like ‘tarrrrr’, ‘dalgrak’ or ‘trrrrrr’ just by listening.
[☆Skill (Mind Reassembly) Obtained!]
‘Mind Reassembly?’
Just looking at the name, it’s already a skill that makes you want to know what this is.
‘Come to think of it, I did say that this reward would be given to a guy that matches the new weapon. Is it a [Mind Weapon] skill?’
Seunghyun Kang confirmed the skill description.
[Reassemble the mind]
[If the ‘mind weapon’ imprinted with one’s emotions is destroyed and disappears, it is recreated.] [Restores the
target’s damaged emotions.]
‘Regenerate?’
Useful beyond imagination.
No, it was a really great skill.
‘It’s no joke. Doesn’t that mean it doesn’t matter if I use the [Blue Moon Dagger] as a consumable item?’
Pektosite is a rare metal that is no longer obtainable, so I was worried about what to do if I lost the [Blue Moon Dagger] or it was shattered beyond repair, but now that I’ve obtained [Mind Reassembly], my worries are gone. .
‘I’m a person who handles weapons a little rough.’
Kang Seung-hyeon took out the [Blue Moon Dagger] and turned it lightly.
‘I had a hard time adjusting my strength.’
grasp!
I broke the blade and activated [Broken Blade].
Suppapot!
Fragments of broken blades scattered and flew in all directions, emitting bluish energy.
Originally, he would have used [Broken Blade] on a weapon that would only be used once and thrown away, or if it was an important weapon, he would have picked up the scattered fragments and restored them to [origin].
[Reassembling the mind]
You don’t have to do that anymore.
Crack!
After activating [Reassemble Mind], the scattered blade fragments disappeared like melting snow, and instead, a new [Blue Moon Dagger] was created in Kang’s hand.
‘Test finished. It’s really crazy.’
Kang Seung-hyeon smiled and looked at the dagger.
The ’emotional imprint’ was still the same, and the state of the weapon was no different from before.
‘At this level, [Broken Blade] can fire continuously, right?’
Of course, since [Mind Reassembly] is also a skill, stamina is consumed when it is activated, so you cannot fire [Broken Blade], but on the contrary, if you can handle the stamina, it means that you can continue to use it without delay.
‘It wasn’t originally made to be used for this purpose, but what do you know? I said I would write it like this.’
Kang Seung-hyeon’s smirking gaze went down to the bottom of the [Mind Reassembly] explanation.
[Restores the target’s damaged emotions.]
‘But what does this mean?’
The first was an effect that could only be activated by Kang Seung-hyun himself, but the second was an effect that could be used by others as well.
‘Isn’t it a skill that fixes other people’s mind weapons, and is it a skill that wakes up people who are out of their minds?’
However, I can’t tell where it’s written just by looking at the description, so I think I’ll have to check it out myself.
‘Shall I test it on Kim Ho-jung later?’
Kang Seung-hyun confirmed the next achievement.
[The key to unlock the chains].
In fact, the key here is not the vessel of divinity, but the ‘beyond the unconscious’ that guided Kang Seung-hyeon and his party into a dream.
‘The bowl of divinity was a mold for making keys.’
Anyway, this achievement was achieved by Kang Seung-hyeon filling all the [Sacred Vessel], so the timing of unlocking the achievement is before meeting the manager.
‘Then what is the reward this time?’
Seunghyun Kang pressed the [Receive reward] button.
[☆Skill (Heartburn) obtained!]
‘Heartache.’
Translated as heartache or heartburn.
‘Usually, the former is used for psychological pain and the latter for physical pain…’
[Heartburn]
[Mind Weapon-only skill]
[Can be activated when the target’s mental strength is reduced or emotionally damaged.]
[Inflicts additional damage on the target by that amount.]
‘What I mean here is both sides. It’s an ambiguous expression.’
First of all, [Heartburn] is a mind weapon-only skill, so it cannot be used without [Blue Moon Dagger].
‘I’m going to use the [Blue Moon Dagger] as my main weapon, so this isn’t a penalty or anything.’
More important than that is the use of this skill.
Shaak!
Kang Seung-hyeon lightly cut his arm with the [Dagger of Blue Moon].
At the same time, [Pain Transfer] is activated.
“Ugh?”
He passed his pain on to a passing dimension mover.
“What is it?”
Experimental Dimension Mover 1 rolled up his sleeves with a startled face and checked his arm, but his arm was clean and unscathed.
Because [Pain Transfer] is a skill that transfers the pain to the end, it is not a skill that inflicts physical damage on the opponent’s body.
‘In other words, it’s a skill that only reduces mental strength, so what if I use this guy here?’
Seunghyun Kang smiled and activated [Heartburn].
[Heartburn]
Cooung!
Then, a distorted heart-shaped skill effect appeared on the back of Lab Mouse 1 and said,
“Eh!”
The boy frowned slightly and clutched at his chest.
‘It’s like this.’
In a way, it’s literally the opposite version of [Pain Transfer], physically beating as much as the mental damage received.
‘Is this good?’
There is a condition that you must use [Blue Moon Dagger], but if you combine it with [Pain Transfer], you can blow away your mental strength and physical strength at the same time.
[Origin]
Chizuzuzu.
More than anything, it is enough to restore the wounds inflicted on Kang Seung-hyun’s own body to the [origin], so as a result, only the opponent’s body and mentality become a rag.
‘Even if it’s not [Pain Transfer], if there’s a way to reduce mental strength, I’ll be able to use it more comfortably.’
Kang Seung-hyun confirmed the next achievement with a satisfied face.
[Awakening from a long sleep]
The achievement itself was confirmed earlier, but the reward was not confirmed because it was roughly passed over for a commemorative message aggro.
‘What is this guy going to give me?’
It’s not another achievement, it’s the achievement of saving the first god ‘Azul’, the final goal of this damn kidnapping.
‘I won’t give you anything out of the ordinary.’
When Kang Seung-hyun presses the [Receive reward] button,
[Praise you for creating a miracle with a handful of hope]
[We will give you a skill derived from your essence.]
[Acquire the special skill ‘Lobotomy’!]
‘As expected, here is the essence skill Is it?’
This message appeared.
‘Speaking of Lobotomy, of course…’
Kang Seung-Hyun was about to check the skill window with a satisfied face.
“I found it, here it is!”
“huh?”
Hearing the voice of someone looking for him from behind, Kang Seung-hyun stood still instead of looking back.
‘The footsteps… about 4 people.’
“Hey, turn your head.”
“Is it you? GGG.”
Not very surprising.
Now, Hind Village is a place where many dimension movers gather, so there’s no way there aren’t any guys who specialize in finding people.
“answer.”
Seunghyun Kang nodded and looked back.
It’s just that
I didn’t just look back.”
He took out a cap from his inventory and put it on tightly.
Aka Yamae Healer Biggie – Selling Friends.
‘It just went well.’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the essence he had acquired this time.
[Acquisition of the special skill ‘Lobotomy’!]
‘I wanted to test this guy.’
