Chapter 230
Episode 230
“What is this?”
Everyone looked at the small glass bottle resting on Namgung’s palm with puzzled expressions.
“Everyone stay back.”
▶ The light of the soul is activated.
At that moment, Namgoong’s eye color changed and, unlike the first time, he could see the sparkling powder inside the glass bottle.
▶ I encountered a high-level spirit.
Unlike when he had the eyes of the soul, when he was promoted to the light of the soul, a clear image of Lu appeared in the glass bottle.
“Oh….”
“Spirit? No fairy…? “It’s not like that…”
Everyone let out an exclamation at the sight of a child appearing inside a small glass bottle. Even the druid Roxanne found it difficult to guess his identity.
[I didn’t expect you to call me again… but I can’t believe you’ve grown so much. That’s amazing. So what’s going on?]
People looked puzzled as they saw the boy treating Namgung like he was his subordinate.
“I have one thing to ask you. “You know very well where this place is.”
Namgung left their gaze behind and asked Lu.
[This smell… it must be something.]
“Yes. “This is the city where Ran’s treasure trove is located.”
[Did he tell you about this place?]
“I heard there is a Noble Phantasm that allows you to use the power of the phase.”
[Why is that necessary?]
Namgung hesitated for a moment in answering Lu’s question.
“Because I have to go to Yu’s fortress. To enter there, you need the power of phase. That’s why we need Ran’s Noble Phantasm that allows us to use the power of the Aspect.”
Namgung pointed to the remains of the collapsed ruins and said.
“But it seems only authorized people can open the door here. “None of us is capable of that.”
[I know what you mean.]
“The fact that there is someone who was chosen by Ran and not us… I think it is you.”
[If that’s the case, it’s not that difficult.]
Lu put his hand on the remains of the ruins, pretending like nothing was wrong.
Then wow…!! With a sound, sharp light began to emanate from beneath the rubble.
“As expected….”
[Don’t misunderstand. Because I am not the revealer of Ran. As far as I know, he has never had a revelator.]
“Then why can you open the door to the treasury?”
[Because I have a lot to do with them. But it looks like you forgot the warning I gave you earlier, right?]
“….”
[I know full well what the Noble Phantasm inside this is. Damn it, that author must have told you this because he thought it was a way to use the power of the phase.]
Namgung did not refute his words at all.
[What did you say about your status? I’m sure he would have warned me.]
“You’re saying a lot. “Thank you for opening the door, but can’t you just quietly disappear?”
[Hmph… Rather, this is something your colleagues here should know. You too, keep this in mind. No matter how much that person is your leader, if he tries to do something he cannot handle, he must be stopped.]
“Don’t talk nonsense. “Because I have no intention of dying.”
[Rather, I am worried that it will be the opposite.]
Namgung slightly bit his lip at Lu’s last muttering and walked into the open report room.
[Don’t forget. Immortality is like eternal suffering.]
His last voice lingered in my ears.
* * *
“Dad, what was that person from a little while ago? The fairies said it was definitely a person… but it didn’t feel life.”
“Because he was human. “He could be said to be the oldest being in human history.”
“Could it be… that he is Adam?”
“The myths are different, but the main origin is actually the same. “He is the one who existed under many names, not just Adam.”
“Wow…”
Somin couldn’t close her mouth as if she couldn’t believe Namgoong’s answer.
“And what was the last thing you said? “Immortality… no matter how great my dad is, he’s not a god.”
“You’re talking nonsense. It’s probably a warning against borrowing the power of the Aspect. “If we use Ran’s Noble Phantasm that we are going to obtain now, we will be able to use the power of the phase for a while.”
“Hmm…”
It was a reasonable answer, but Somin couldn’t easily nod as if it didn’t really make sense.
“Arrived.”
Her worries were interrupted for a moment as everyone’s attention was focused on the altar that appeared in front of her.
“Is that an alien cloak?”
The altar where the cloak was placed and the water filled around it were a mysterious sight, but for a treasure trove of primordial status, the interior was very plain.
[There is no particular barrier, and there are no signs of traps or monsters.]
[I guess this means that there is no need to doubt after that, since the qualifications to open the door are clear.] [
Be careful. Because we were not the ones who opened the door to reporting. There may be restrictions on taking the cloak.]
The spirits warned Namgung.
But contrary to their worries, nothing happened the moment they picked up the cloak.
[Chuhm….]
They cleared their throats as if their worries were in vain.
However, Namgung saw it and thought that just as there were no traps inside, there would be no restrictions on using the cloak.
‘Because using this in the first place is dangerous.’
Sigh-!!!
As he put on the cape, the ends of the cape swayed lightly in the wind and wrapped around his shoulders.
As the pendant hanging around Namgung’s neck trembled, the cloak began to emit a soft light.
“Whoa…”
Namgung felt his breathing becoming difficult as his strength gradually increased.
“Everyone step back.”
The blood vessels all over his body swelled as if they were about to burst, and his eyes turned red and bloodshot.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
As a sharp gust of wind blew around him, the people who had retreated turned their heads to avoid the shock.
▶ The power of the seven snakes stays within the cloak.
▶ The blood clot expands.
Namgoong slowly drew a circle with both arms.
The strong energy boiling up from his dantian was dispersed through his arms, then turned again and flowed into his body.
‘The stage of thought is to control the flow of power. And all power has a flow. The same goes for the power of phase. No matter how changeable it is, if you can read the flow…’
Namgung slowly began to capture the power swirling within his body.
The power that seemed to be caught but was not easily caught, and that shook it, could indeed be called the power of phase. As he clenched his fist
,
a ring appeared on his wrist.
Five rings began to swirl around him, and the power that was fluctuating within his body began to disperse through Jinhwan.
Card…
His arms were shaking as he tried to recondense the scattered forces.
The power of the Aspect was rebelling against his will.
▶ The cloak of outer space is activated.
▶ Would you like to use the power of the cloak?
At that moment, the cloak that Namgung was wearing enveloped the explosive power of the seven snakes.
“Don’t do anything useless.”
It was then.
Of course, contrary to everyone’s expectations that he would be able to control the power of the seven snakes with the power of the cloak, Namgung refused the order.
[…What are you planning to do?]
[Are you really trying to control the power of the Aspect yourself? Give up your greed! If you make a mistake, everyone here will die!]
Myeong and Lathea shouted in shock when they saw Namgung’s appearance.
“Don’t be scared. According to Ran’s words, the cloak was made to control the power of aspects. That would mean that it is a power higher than the power of status.”
Namgung said, grasping the power of his seemingly precarious status as it swelled and shrunk.
“Even in the worst case, you can save your life. But the role of the cloak ends there. “You must not use this to control the power of the Aspect.”
[…Why?]
“Yor told me. “If I use a cloak to use the power of the phase, it is my body that the power of the phase resides in.”
That was also what Lu warned about. In the end, if you rely on the power of your cloak without strengthening your own body, you will be eaten by the power of the Aspect.
[But how do you control the power of the phases? No matter how much blood vessel magic you have, the flow that can be controlled is limited.]
Nameless said with concern.
[It is not enough for you to deal with the power of all the changing phases on your own.]
“You are not alone.”
Hua Ahh … !!
At that moment, soul soldiers were summoned around Namgung.
“Do you remember what I said before? “You said you would teach blood vessels to soul soldiers.”
[No way….]
“Those who do not have physical limitations are definitely more suited to blood magic than me.]
Kuung-!!
As put down the huge ax on the floor and placed his hand on Namgung’s back.
As Namgung sat down, as if he had been waiting, the shaman’s magic was cast.
Soul soldiers stood around the circular magic circle created at Namgung’s feet.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of…
Surprisingly, the silver airflow flowing from their bodies was really a blood vessel technique.
[You really can’t believe they’re teaching that to soul soldiers…]
Nameless burst into laughter as if he was astounded as he watched the rampaging power of the Aspects slowly being taken away by their power.
“Whoa….”
How much time has passed?
When Namgung slowly opened his eyes, his whole body was covered in sweat.
“dad!!”
Somin, who had been waiting for him with concern, ran to him one month later.
“are you okay?”
Somin asked him with a face full of worry.
However, contrary to his daughter’s worries, Namgung actually felt refreshed.
▶ The expansion power of the Hyeoldan has reached its maximum.
▶ The Hyeoldan is newly blooming.
▶ The level of the Hyeoldan has increased.
▶ The creation of the Seondan has been completed.
“Yes, you don’t have to worry. It will work.”
Namgung lightly brushed his daughter’s head with a satisfied expression.
▶ All blood vessels expanded due to the influence of Seondan.
▶ The number of Jinhwan doubled.
▶ Blood vessel art – Jin (true) I have acquired it.
Scream…!!
At that moment, the round rings protruding from Namgung’s wrist spread out and disappeared behind his back in the shape of a fan.
[It’s the next level of blood magic… It’s amazing. I couldn’t reach it either. You have finally achieved the realm.]
Moo-myeong said proudly as he looked at Jin-hwan who appeared behind him. [Ran was planning to use the cloak to do something to you, but this cloak actually made you stronger.]
Nam-gung said .
He nodded, feeling the power of the seven snakes slowly being drained from his body.
“It’s enough to be played by them in my past life. I will use them until the very end.”
Grrrr…!!!
Namgung. A black flame rose above his palm, and as he waved his arm, a black portal appeared in front of him:
the entrance to Wu’s fortress.
