Chapter 141: Chapter 141 - Hatch (7)
Chapter 141: Hatch (7)
[Shanon (Death Knight) has successfully absorbed his opponent’s energy . ]
[All stats have increased . ]
[Dark properties have increased by 15 . You will be stronger in these properties . ]
[Shanon (Death Knight) has gained the skill ‘Volcano . ’]
[Ha! Yes . This is it . I wanted to feel this . ]
Shanan was exuberant . He was experiencing great pleasure because of his greatly increased stats, since he always worked to get stronger .
But because he absorbed a high ranker didn’t mean he got that much stronger . If that was the case, the Monster Portents at the battlefield would’ve already evolved .
However, his ‘rank’ was still there . Shannon absorbed his rank and was able to increase his potential . He had increased the limits of what a Death Knight could do .
Increasing the limits was extremely important . That was how much someone could grow, and become more powerful . It was a necessary process to become stronger .
Especially the fact that he received the Volcano skill made Shanon happy .
Volcano was the symbol of fire skills, spewing out lava and ash everywhere .
If he could recreate that, he could do anything .
Yeon-woo satisfactorily nodded looking at Shanon . As his Spirit Familiars become stronger, he would become stronger as well .
Also .
[Shanon’s (Death Knight) achievements positively affect you . ]
[The trait of Bathory’s Vampiric Sword has been applied to take the opponent’s energy . ]
[The skill ‘Fire Rain(Numbering 41)’ has been created . ]
Through Shanon’s achievements, Yeon-woo was able to receive things as well .
[Fire Rain]
Numbering 41
Proficiency: 0 . 0%
Summary: The signature skill that symbolizes Bahal . It releases gathered fire energy in rain . The speed and power leaves the opponent unable to move .
It is impossible to use it currently because the proficiency is ridiculously low . Some amount of magic power is needed as well .
*Thunder Mark
Depending on the amount of magic power used, the intensity of the rain increases . So at times, it is able to break defenses and force the opponent into confusion .
*Blazing Burn
After the skill is progressed, it is able to leave burning effects . During this time, there’s a low chance it may destroy healing magic . Also, it burns through the skill, intensifying the pain .
Fire Rain!
Yeon-woo clenched his fist looking at the new skill . He now had Bahal’s skill in his hand . The skill that even his little brother was jealous of .
Actually, even though Yeon-woo had many skills, he didn’t have a destructive skill like this . A secret card that could flip the table in the last critical moment .
But with this, the story was different . The destructive power of Fire Rain was well-known in the Tower .
Also, Yeon-woo had a high affinity with fire thanks to Chirpy .
Of course, it said he couldn’t use it because of the low proficiency . But he didn’t worry .
‘Even if a lot of magic power is used, I don’t have to worry about that . And if I add Holy Fire to it… . . it’ll be an immense power . ’
Dragon Body was more than enough to turn the proficiency around .
Yeon-woo really wanted to use the Fire Rain’s power .
Then .
[But Master . ]
Shanon lifted a corner of his mouth blatantly staring at Yeon-woo . Like he wanted something .
“No . ”
[Ahem! But I didn’t say anything y… . . ]
“It’s because I already know what you’ll say . Not that guy . ”
Shanon crossed his arms and complained unlike himself .
[Sheesh! But I don’t think he’ll be your subordinate . If it doesn’t work out, hand it over then . How’s that?]
“No . ”
He seemed like he wanted to feel something stronger after tasting the soul of a high ranker .
But Yeon-woo didn’t plan on giving in to Shanon’s wishes . Unlike Bahal or Leonte, he was planning on making this guy his subordinate . He had already asked Chirpy .
He lightly waved his hand .
Then, a new Spirit Familiar appeared and calmly looked at Yeon-woo . He didn’t speak .
Although it could’ve been because he hadn’t regained his consciousness yet . Yeon-woo knew that he had already had his vestige from the beginning .
Looking into his eyes, he spoke .
“Work under me . Then, I’ll save your son . Saber God . ]
His calm eyes started to fill with turmoil for the first time .
[My son, he’s still alive?]
His tone was unbelieving .
Saber God looked out occasionally when he regained his consciousness . So he somewhat knew of what happened after he died, and gave up on the hope that his son would be able to live .
With Cheonghwado destroyed and Red Dragon not able to freely operate because of the Summer Queen’s condition . There was no one to protect his son .
But the cause of all this said himself that his son was still alive .
He couldn’t believe it .
But Yeon-woo sincerity was still delivered to thim .
Yeon-woo uncrossed his arms and spoke .
“If you don’t believe me, follow me . ”
Yeon-woo didn’t listen for a response and headed off .
Saber God stared at him, and quietly followed after him .
Yeon-woo arrived at a medical facility located within the village . There, Hanbin was in a deep sleep after being treated . His face wrapped in bandages was extremely haggard .
[… . . Bin . ]
Saber God was lost in sadness seeing his son in that state . He realized why his son was like that even without being told anything .
His son had lived drowned in drugs because his pain was too intense . Forcefully being cut off from it and receiving torture on top of that would unquestionably leave him in this state .
And although the One-horned tribe was treating him, they wouldn’t put up with his stubbornness . So he was living in constant anxiousness .
More than anything, his father, whom he had used as his winning card every time, was gone . Now, he didn’t have anywhere to rely on, so it was obvious he would collapse .
But the Saber God was still utterly grateful his son was alive .
Although he walked a twisted path, and hurt others . And he turned a blind eye to it . But he was still his special son .
[When… . . ]
“When did I bring him?”
Saber God silently nodded his head .

“Before the war began . I secretly snuck him out when Bahal told me to deal with him because he was feeling lazy”
“As expected . Red Dragon had no plans . To keep my son alive . ]
Saber God grit his teeth . Then he whipped his head around and glared at Yeon-woo . He knew precisely who had put them in this situation .
But that was only for a while .
He had to bow his gaze . He realized who had the upper hand . With his son on Yeon-woo’s side, he had to lower himself .
And Yeon-woo accepted it like it was obvious that was the case .
“You should be thankful to Chirpy . ”
[Chirpy?]
“The offspring of the Phoenix that you killed . ”
The Saber God’s face was filled with questions . The baby of the Phoenix?
“Because he said to keep him alive . ”
“That there was no need to put others in the same situation as him . Asking if there was a need to take unnecessary lives . ”
The Saber God couldn’t say anything .
Yeon-woo’s voice was cold as ever .
“Since he saved that guy, bow or whatever to him when you see him . ”
[I… . . will . ]
The Saber God wasn’t able to say anything more than that . In the world of the Tower, players did unspeakable things to others to get what they wanted .
It was typical to return what they took with even greater revenge . But Chirpy had limited that revenge to just the Saber God .
Because he knew what a difficult thing that was .
The Saber God was speechless . And he was utterly grateful to the Phoenix’s offspring for it .
So the Saber God bowed even deeper .
Once upon a time, he was the most prideful ranker in the Tower . Now, he folded all grudges and surrendered .
[Greeting Master . ]
That was enough .
Along with other healing materials, Yeon-woo gave the remaining dark energy to Saber God .
[The Spirit Familiar has successfully evolved . The second Death Knight is born . ]
[You have achieved an accomplishment not easily achieved . Additional Karma is rewarded . ]
[You have earned 3,000 Karma . ]
[You have earned an additional 2,000 Karma . ]
[Death Knight has pledged allegiance to you . From now on, he will be bound to the ‘Black King’s Despair’ and become your knight and sword . ]
[Will you choose a name?]
[Hanryeong . ”
It was the Saber God’s real name .
[The Death Knight’s name has been set to ‘Hanryeong . ’]

[Loyalty has increased by 15 . ]
[Control has increased by 5 . ]
[Hanryeong’s (Death Knight) physical body cannot handle his ‘rank . ’ The attributes are being reassigned . ]
[All attributes have decreased by 21 . ]
[All attributes have decreased by 17 . ]
[Hanryeong’s (Death Knight) attributes have been reassigned . But his soul’s ‘rank’ is the same, and his potential is the same . With the growth of his existence, his lost previous ‘rank’ can be regained . Rapid growth is advised . ]
[My body, it feels a bit heavy . ]
The Saber God, no, Hanryeong, muttered, uncomfortable with the black armor he was wearing .
Even with dark energy infused, his body was definitely less powerful than when he was a high ranker .
So the system had reassigned the attributes according to it .
But Yeon-woo wasn’t too worried .
Like the panel said, as long as his rank didn’t disappear, he would be able to regain his prowess from before . It was clear he would grow faster than Shanon .
Also, for Yeon-woo, it was better for the attributes to be reassigned .
If Hanryeong’s attributes were too high for him to deal with, he could be uncontrollable at an important time . He wanted to avoid the risk of being stabbed in the back by his own Spirit Familiar .
Shanon lightly sighed looking at Hanryeong . It was because it was a shame he wasn’t able to absorb Hanryeong, and he felt like he would need to work harder to stay ahead of him .
Hanryeong moved around to get used to his new body and looked back at Yeon-woo .
[I have something to request of Master . ]
Since Hanryeong was a martialist to the bone, he was more formal with Yeon-woo than Shanon .
“Speak . ”
[I would like for you to recover my Nine Swords for me . ]
“Is it because of your skill?”
[Yes . ]
Hanryeong nodded his head .
The two signature skills that symbolized the Saber God, Grave of the Nine Swords and Sword Whirlpool, needed to meet strict conditions to be used .
To own sturdy swords .
Sword Whirlpool created a huge tornado everytime the swords were swung around . Without the proper weapons, it was impossible, and the same went for the Grave of the Nine swords .
So when Hanryeong used to go around challenging players, he challenged players that had strong swords and took their swords .
After he was on a certain level, he didn’t need to do that .
But now, he had returned to the old days .
[The previous swords I have were all broken by the Sword God . To activate the skill, I need many swords, and the stronger the sword, the more threatening the skill . ]
“There’ll be several usable swords in Intrenian, so use those for now . I’ll try to get swords for you as they come in the future . ”
[Thank you . ]
Hanryeong nodded his head and entered the subspace Yeon-woo opened for him . And he slowly pulled out his iron box with the swords that he could use in them .
Clink . Clink .
Yeon-woo silently watched him, and focused his consciousness on Chirpy, who was watching through his eyes .
‘Thanks . ’
Chirpy just nodded his head .

His firm eyes were no longer those of a weak baby that longed for its mother .
He was becoming a teenager that would soar higher .
From the next day .
Yeon-woo pushed himself with his individual training .
Kwang! Boom!
Everytime he swung Vigrid, the air was split .
Fire Rain turned over the ground several times with the added Holy Fire . And it even completely crumbled a wall .
From the mess, dust flew around . It was a sight that would cause one to shiver just by looking at it .
But Yeon-woo, Draconic Eyes open, didn’t give it a second glance and continued to move .
He searched for something along the flaws and lifted his head at a chilling feeling .
And he awakened the Dragon’s Authority .
His skin flipped around and dark blue scales covered his upper body . The scales that grew up to his chin clattered around bumping against each other as he sought his target with his strengthened senses .
Under normal conditions, he would have to thoroughly hide .
The opponent was someone that he couldn’t fight against .
His opponent was someone that he couldn’t beat even at his full strength, and the test-giver who always tested his limits .
Furthermore, Yeon-woo knew too well that he had to reveal everything that he had to become stronger .
His 360 Cores was completely opened, and this Magic Circuit spun around, blooming his wings of fire .
He pulled out the fire-covered Vigrid once again . Grinding his teeth, with all his strength . Using the best skills he had all at once .
[Blessing of the Blue Spirit]
[Holy Fire]
[Fire Rain]
Rumble!
He focused all his magic power on once place, and with the Blessing of the Blue Spirit, he used the Fire Rain that he had increased the proficiency of up to 7% .
It was a power that seemed like it would destroy the world . Fire Rain poured down .
But his opponent pushed away Fire Rain like it was nothing and lightly waved his hand in the air, sighing .
It was a devastating result of his threatening power, but the opponent, Martial King, just smiled .
The Martial King laughed, thinking that he had indeed become stronger, and punched his fist forward .
It was the same force as when he destroyed Kuram . Pagong, one of the Eight Extreme Fists .
Yeon-woo realized that he had no chance if he faced it head on, and spun his body like a top .
Whoosh . The wings of fire twirled around to wrap his body and gathered to Vigrid’s tip . And it flew past the blade to soar to the center of the Pagong .
