[Blessing of the Blue Spirit]
Rank: ???
Proficiency: 18 . 2%
Summary: To show his gratitude, the Abyss Turtle has presented one of his subordinates . Because the Blue Spirit was born in a deep thought, it wasn’t able to have a direct identity, but it can support multiple roles .
It gives its sense of identity so multiple skills and properties can be learned .
The growth of the spirit depends on its owner .
**This is a ‘Superior’ skill . Only those acknowledged by the Abyss Turtle can use it, and it can grow according to the proficiency .
**It doesn’t have an ‘identity’ yet . An identity must be created before it can grow, so set an identity first .
**The deeper your understanding about ‘Spirit Magic’ is, the faster the growth will be .
Yeon-woo had been using the effects of the spirit, but he couldn’t summon it . With the quest over, he thought he would be able to use it, but the spirit seemed to be different than what Yeon-woo knew .
Spirits grow in the waste of nature, so most of them are hard to handle .
However, they are arranged from the highest level, ‘King’ so it’s fun to grow them .
There were famous spirits like fire spirit, Kasa, and wind spirit Silf .
They were weak by themselves, but they had identities, and could grow more .
Kasa was a Salamander, and Salamanders could become Salist .
But the Blue Spirit seemed to be a bit different .
It didn’t have an identity or property .
Since it was blank, it was up to Yeon-woo how it would be grown .
It might have more potential than other spirits, but that meant that it was more likely it would be messed up .
‘I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing . ’
Yeon-woo bitterly smiled looking at the blue form that was floating above his hand .
He didn’t have a clue how to grow it .
Since it had the ability to prevent the powers of the Legendary Beasts from clashing, it wasn’t weak .
‘It would be nice if I can grow it well . But I don’t have the freedom to spend time on it like rune magic . ’
He was already busy with the 72 Bian, Heaven Things, and the Yin Sword . He was planning on studying magic and spirit magic sometime, but it was lower on the list of things he had to do .
‘Then is that the only option?’
Yeon-woo suddenly thought of something .
‘Giving a personality . ’
What if he led the spirit to grow by itself? The personality he gave it would have to be outstanding .
Thankfully, Yeon-woo had a lot of personalities to put in the Blue Spirit .
There were over a thousand souls in his collection, and he had some high ranked souls among them as well .
‘Like Hepburn and Sol Luna . ’
But Yeon-woo shook his head .
Hepburn was Urd’s apostle .
The soul of a Superior Species was a waste, but her loyalty to Urd was too strong . She would only be a bother .
Same with Sol Luna .
She was a good candidate since she was skilled with the sword and was a vampire .
‘But she’s too sly . ’
It wasn’t someone he wanted to have near him .
Then there was only one person left .
‘Rebecca is the best . ’
The only bad thing was that she was prideful and wouldn’t like to serve anyone .
It was also a problem that he didn’t have her soul .
‘That’s not a problem . Since there’s a way around it . But the fact that I might become enemies with Cernunnos puts me off . ’
He could try to put Rebecca in the spirit . But it would result in receiving enmity from Cernunnos .
Yeon-woo considered whether it was worth it to be at odds with a god .
‘I’m already enemies with Urd, and I have a strange relationship with the goddesses Nemesis and Nike . If I’m going to tied up with the gods anyway…let’s just try it once . ’
Yeon-woo organized his thoughts and summoned Boo .
Boo bowed his head as soon as he saw Yeon-woo . He already knew what Yeon-woo was trying to do . It was dangerous, but he didn’t try to convince Yeon-woo otherwise .
“Let’s begin . ”
[Yes . Sir . ]
Yeon-woo opened Intrenian and pulled out Rebecca’s body .
Braised the black bead and murmured incomprehensible words . Then, a mysterious black light shined from Rebecca’s body .
[Cernunnos is furious realizing what you are trying to do . ]
[The demons are looking at you gladly . One of the demons announces something about you . ]
[The support of the demons has increased . They were cheering for you . ]
[Evil property has increased by 15 . ]
[Evil property has increased by 20 . ]
[Your neutral personality has exceeded 70% into evil, and is changed into ‘Evil . ’]
[Based on your personality, you may receive benefits and penalties . Be aware . ]
Rebecca’s body quickly regained its form . The skin and bones returned to how they used to be, and veins and muscles were connected again .
Her pale face turned rosy again, and she looked like someone who was sleeping .
Yeon-woo felt the air around him become heavier . There was murderous intent in it . It was probably from Cernunnos .
But they wouldn’t be able to descend the 98th floor anyway .
Since he had some enmity with them anyway, he was planning on going all the way . He could do things to make Cernunnos feel better later .
Yeon-woo changed the souls in his collection into black energy and gave it to Rebecca .
As black energy was inputted, Rebecca’s body shook . Like she would wake up any moment .
[Wake . Up . ]
And with Boo’s command, the corpse started to move . No, something else moved .
It was an illusion of Rebecca, from the black energy .

[Where…is this?]
Rebecca sat blankly, and looked around with more focused eyes .
“This is the outer section of the Tower . ”
[Cain… . . ? Why? No, what do you mean?]
Rebecca looked confused . Her time had paused at the Monkey King’s palace .
When she woke up, she was in a completely different area . And the constraints of the 20th floor was gone .
It would be weird if she wasn’t confused . And the aftereffects of dying messed her mind up .
[Where is Kahn and Victoria? The Monkey King? And… . . !]
And Rebecca’s illusion suddenly cut off .
Then, she glared at Yeon-woo coldly .
[You . You did something to me . ]
Her mind became clearer as her memories returned to her .
She had definitely died . And she had probably returned to Cernunnos . But why was she here?
She thought of several hypotheses . Then, she thought of something from the energy of death around her .
Her face paled again .
Yeon-woo silently nodded his head .
“It’s what you think it is . ”
[You’re crazy! How could you think of waking my Baek… . . !]
A person’s soul could be split into two .
Hon and Baek .
Hon was the actual soul that went to the beyond and reincarnated .
On the other hand, Baek was different .
It was the vestige of the dead body . The vestige of the Monkey King in the palace was included in this .
Usually, Baek would scatter away when a body began to rot, but Yeon-woo had tied the Baek into Rebecca, and woke it up .
[Soul Summon]
Rank: BBB+
Proficiency: 21 . 5%
Summary: The corpses and souls can be summoned from beyond . Sometimes, it can create undead .
Boo’s Superior skill, Soul Summon .
[You have learned how to extract the Baek(Vestige) from a dead body . ]
[Congratulations! You have learned a new way to control death . With this, your range of power increases . ]
[You have achieved an accomplishment that is not easily achieved . Additional Karma is being rewarded . ]
[You have earned 5,000 Karma . ]
[You have earned an additional 3,000 Karma . ]
[Bind the Baek (Vestige) you summoned to you . You can have additional rewards . ]
Yeon-woo’s eyes shined at the messages popping up in front of him . Greedy was within them .

‘A apostle is definitely different . Baek usually wouldn’t be able to regain their consciousness, but Rebecca has a clear mind . ’
It was probably because her level was different from other living things .
[Just what… . . are you planning on doing with me?]
“I want to borrow your strength . ”
[Are you serious right now?]
Rebecca glared at Yeon-woo with narrowed eyes . To someone who was returning back to a god, waking them up as a vestige was very rude .
Her soul had returned to the god, but it wouldn’t like to live without anything inside of it .
However .
“Is something wrong?”
Yeon-woo reacted like there wasn’t a problem .
[What?]
“I’m offering a contract . Isn’t this better than dying? And you might have some regret too . I’ll help you with them . In return, you can help me with what I need . ”
[This isn’t actually living… . . !]
“But don’t you have all your emotions and memories? I think you’re no different from something else that’s living . Or think of it as being reincarnated . I think that should be good . ”
Rebecca clenched her teeth . He wasn’t wrong . Since only her soul was gone, and ‘Rebecca’ hadn’t disappeared .
Also . What he said about regrets bothered her .
Regrets . Anyone would have them .
No, she had been able to become an apostle after training and throwing all these regrets away . But the regrets were still bound to her like chains .
When she was younger, there was a monster that had eaten up all of her family .
Thinking about it now, she didn’t remember it that well . But Rebecca came this far thinking of meeting that beast .
When everyone had ignored her because she was a girl, she learned the sword by herself, and was able to become an apostle .
But she still thought that she wasn’t enough . Because the power of that monster was still sealed in her head .
It might’ve been over exaggerated because it was such a tramus to her, but she still wanted more power . That was why she entered the dungeon .
She didn’t know she would become like this . And she didn’t even know what it was .
Rebecca shut her eyes tightly .
She knew that as an apostle, she shouldn’t have these thoughts . It was mocking a god, and dropping her own reputation .
But she also wanted to grab the new opportunity that Yeon-woo was talking about .
Rebecca wasn’t able to speak for a while .
“If you don’t want to, I’ll take back your consciousness . ”
Yeon-woo didn’t plan on forcing Rebecca with him . Rebecca could be ruined if she was trapped in this body .
He would have angered a god, but he still got something out of it .
Since he knew how to extract vestige, he could choose people similar to her and do the same thing . Although he would be limited to bodies that hadn’t been dead too long .
Eventually, Rebecca frowned and barked out to Yeon-woo .
[You’re a son of a bitch . ]
Yeon-woo answered with a calm gaze .

“I know . But I have to get what I want . ”
[Fine . I’ll follow you . ]
Yeon-woo’s gaze changed .
[Instead, I have a condition . ]
“Go ahead . ”
[Freedom for my movements and will . ]
“Can’t you feel it already?”
A shadow extended behind Yeon-woo, and Shanon and Hanryeong appeared .
[Hehe . Our master is indeed a bit of a son of a bitch . ]
[Master . I’m okay with including Rebecca, but I believe that she should have some respect . ]
Yeon-woo glanced at the people behind him and asked Rebecca .
“Do these two look like they don’t have free will?”
[Teeth Wolf, Saber God… . . ]
[Ooh . The Red Apostle knows me? What an honor . ]
Shanon laughed . Even though he was a semi ranker, rankers knew his name because he was skilled with the sword .
Rebecca was silent after finding out that the two were already with Yeon-woo . Since the Saber God was there, her reputation wouldn’t be hurt as much . It might not be that big of a deal, but she was sensitive to it .
[Fine . But that’s not what I’m saying . ]
“Then?”
[These two are in the shadow, right? But I want to be able to roam around freely . ]
Yeon-woo wrinkled his forehead .
[Of course, I won’t be able to go far because of the connection with you, but I want to walk the world with my own feet . ]
This seemed to be her last pride . Having free will .
[So make me a new body . ]
“I’m not a god . ”
[I don’t expect a real body . Even a Homunculus is fine . ]
Yeon-woo nodded his head . He couldn’t guarantee it, because it was an outstanding artificial body .
‘But I have to have that much knowledge anyway . Since I need knowledge about the Philosopher’s stone and the pocket watch . ’
And Rebecca knew that her request wasn’t easy . So she didn’t set a time limit .
“Understood . Instead, before then, how would you like to live as a spirit?”
[Spirit?]
