Chapter 183: Shadow Dojo (8)
Like how the shadow had opened a new authority, Yeon-woo had opened the 2nd step authority after learning the concepts of Domainization .
His understanding of Holy Fire increased, and he was able to reach a higher level of the 2nd authority than the shadow .
Yeon-woo swung Vigrid around again . This time, he was planning on really defeating the shadow .
The shadow flew up to the sky with Sky Wings and exploded his Wave of Light . Tens of lightning bolts came down to fight his fire .
The ground rumbled . Like a natural disaster, lightning stormed down .
Dust repeatedly flew up .
Boom!
Then, something flew out of the explosion . The shadow fell powerlessly to the ground with his broken Sky Wings .
And above, Yeon-woo pressed down on him . Vigrid pierced through his right shoulder into the ground .
“Haa…Haa… . ”
Yeon-woo and the shadow were so close to each other that they could hear each other’s breath . It had been such an intense battle that it wouldn’t be weird for either of them to have fainted any moment .
But eventually, victory was Yeon-woo’s . The reason was simple .
The shadow was more talented and had more skills, but Yeon-woo was more proficient in his skills .
And the person that was advantageous in the explosion was Yeon-woo, who trained his Mugong . Also, Yeon-woo had the Neidan of the Four Legendary Beasts .
As Yeon-woo’s control increased throughout the battle, he was able to freely use Swe to get used to his skill .

[You have earned the Unique skill ‘Wave of Fire . ’]
[The skill ‘Fire Rain’ and ‘Wave of Fire’ have been bound to each other . The skill proficiency of ‘Wave of Fire’ has increased . 3 . 2%]
[Your wings of fire have turned into ‘Fire Wings . ’]
The Wave of Fire was inspired by the Wave of Light, and it could burn continuously .
He still needed to practice it a bit, but it was still more powerful than the Wave of Light .
It was because it was combined with other skills that Yeon-woo had . He was just barely able to win .
It was a close battle . However, Yeon-woo thought this was a present that his younger brother gave him So he wouldn’t embarrassingly be beat up .
While the messages that he cleared the stage popped up, the instant dungeon started to settle down . And his brother’s shadow also started to fade away .
Yeon-woo wanted to look at the fading shadow as much as he could . If the shadow disappeared like that, he wouldn’t be able to see his brother again .
Although the shadow wouldn’t know how he was feeling .
Then .
The shadow that had been expressionless suddenly lifted a corner of his mouth .
When Yeon-woo’s eyes were wide open, his brother had a faint smile on his mouth .
Like when Yeon-woo last saw him 5 years ago .
‘It was fun, hyung . ’ [TN: Hyung = older brother]
And with that, the shadow disappeared along with the instant dungeon .
A shadow was created from the memory of their owner . So it wasn’t weird for them to have a part of their memories .
For some reason, Yeon-woo felt like he had just had a nice conversation with his brother—not with the Jeong-woo in the diary, but the Jeong-woo who had been alive .
And until the next section opened, Yeon-woo quietly closed his eyes . Repeating what his brother said in his head again and again… . .
Ding .
It was the sound of a new message popping up .
Yeon-woo slowly opened his eyes . The black world was filled with light again .
[The trial of the 31st section is beginning . ]
[The fight with 3rd place ‘Hughl’ is beginning soon . Please prepare for battle during the preparation time . ]
[A longer preparation time is being given considering the condition of the challenger . ]
[03:00:00]
The preparation time was usually based on the length of the previous battle . Then that was probably how long the battle with his little brother was .
That was expected though .
Yeon-woo put everything he had into it and was barely able to win . If it wasn’t for the Despair of the Black King, he wouldn’t have won .
He hadn’t struggled that much even when he was battling the Summer Queen . With this, he was able to get a glimpse of how his brother was able to threaten the Nine Kings .
Also, he wondered what the level of the other 3 would be, since his brother was only 4th .
If they were able to pass the 21st floor with the skills they had at the time, it was hard to think about how powerful they’d be now .
‘Well . Seseungnim is pretty amazing now . ’
Yeon-woo bitterly smiled thinking of the Martial King, who was 2nd place .
Even he was surprised with his victory on the 30th floor . The memory of how the Martial King had blown away half of the 11th floor was still clear in his head .
He used such a destructive power pretty well . Yeon-woo was far off, since he still had to borrow the strength of his authority to control the Wave of Fire .
Since the Martial King was such a person, it was clear he was probably a monster back in his younger days as well .
So he was wondering whether he should leave the instant dungeon to rest for a while but… . .
‘Let’s just do it . ’
He filed his empty Magic Circuit with magic power from the outside, and awoke his Dragon’s Blood to quickly heal himself .
‘I have to keep going while I’m at it . ’
The skill that he earned with fighting with his brother’s shadow, the Wave of Fire .
Of course, he had used the Wave of Light as a motif, but it was still a skill that Yeon-woo had created for the first time .
[Wave of Fire]
Numbering ??? (Calculating)
Proficiency: 3 . 2%

Summary: A skill that player ### condensed complexly from ‘Fire Rain . ’ Because of this, the intensity of the explosion depends on the amount of magic power left .
It’s quite similar to the skill ‘Wave of Light,’ but it’s more complex, and has more potential .
*Fire Lightning
Based on the amount of magic power, the intensity of the magic power will increase . It confuses the opponent .
*Boiling Spark
With an explosion, it spreads out thunderbolts to its surroundings . The spark won’t easily be extinguished .
*This skill is ‘Unique . ’ There is only one skill like this in the entire Tower . If this is successfully passed on to someone else, it won’t be unique anymore, and instead, there will be additional options given .
**This is still an incomplete skill . Finish the skill to raise the rank of the skill or gain a numbering .
To get an ability acknowledged by the system, it had to be justified with a special pattern and skill .
The Wave of Light was only just made .
But it hadn’t been able to be ‘justified,’ so no one knew when this skill might disappear .
Yeon-woo quickly wanted to justify this skill .
Like the summary said, it had a lot of potential, and he didn’t want to lose what he had .
He couldn’t put it in words, but he got a feeling that he would be able to grow this skill to something more than what it was .
Yeon-woo now knew that the rest of the other shadows he had left to fight on the 21st were strong, but he didn’t think he would lose .
He awoke his 2nd step authority, and he had his Wave of Fire .
And Yeon-woo was able to learn a lot from his fight with the shadow .
How to efficiently use the Dragon Body and use his authorities . He was able to learn a lot of things he hadn’t known about . The Dragon Body and the authorities of his brother were definitely a lot higher than his .
Until now, Yeon-woo had only tried to match his Dragon Body to his Mugong and engrave rune magic into his bones .
But now, his eyes were opened .
He felt like if he got some rest, he would definitely be able to deal with the rest of the shadows .
Meanwhile, there was a new shadow appearing beyond an invisible wall .
The person was completely thin and didn’t even reach 2 meters in height . The person had dark circles, and looked sick .
2nd place, Hughl .
‘That person is… . . the head bishop of the Devil Army . ’
Hughl was the highest of the 9 bishops who ruled the Devil Army, and he was famous for having a trait of a Lord .
Because this person had not one, but two abilities that were hard to gain, and he had caused a commotion the moment he climbed to his position .
Hughl had defeated 4 bishops, including the head bishop at the time, ‘Black Dusk,’ and put himself in that position instead .
Even though the person hadn’t entered the Devil Army when he was on the 21st floor, his shadow was still extremely strong .
‘I heard that Kindred became the second bishop after that person became the head bishop . ’
Yeon-woo calmly looked at the head priest . No one knew anything about him other than his name .
But since Yeon-woo knew that he had the Lord trait, he could find a way to fight against him .
And he had the information that his brother gave him in the diary .
‘There’s something I want to check as well . ’

He narrowed his eyes .
He was completely focused on recuperating, but his eyes were fixed on the shadow of the head bishop .
[You have successfully cleared the trial of the 31st section . ]
The place where Yeon-woo had stabbed Vigrid was still burning with the Wave of FIre .
After some practice, Yeon-woo was able to move the direction as he wanted . When the shadow was exposed to the range, he was able to see his destructive power in action .
And because he had decreased the amount of magic power used to the smallest amount possible, he used a lot less energy than in the sections before .
Though, the fact that there were craters left in the ground and the ground was cracked all over was the same .
There were even tracks like a large snake had slid on the ground .
It was the effect of him being able to control the sea of fire with his authority .
When the shadow disappeared, something yellow floated above it and approached Yeon-wo .
Even though Yeon-woo hadn’t done anything, Intrenian opened, and a piece of the Ruyi Bang came up to combine with it .
Click .
With the sound of them being bound together, the piece of the Ruyi Bang was about the size of someone’s finger, and it fell down onto his palm .
It happened so suddenly . Yeon-woo wasn’t flustered at the sudden event and calmly checked the piece using his Draconic Eyes .
[Piece of the Ruyi Bang(5/???)]
[You have discovered 4 new pieces of the Ruyi Bang . Complete the Ruyi Bang after finding more pieces . ]
‘There’s definitely something pulling the pieces to each other . And it doesn’t seem like it’ll be too hard to find the other pieces with this . ’
Yeon-woo tightly gripped the pieces of the Ruyi Bang and laughed futilely .
‘Other than that, there’s a trap here too?’
The Devil Army was gathering pieces of the Ruyi Bang . Then what was an easy way to get pieces?
Yeon-woo thought of what he would do if he was in the Devil Army .
‘Take them from the challengers of the shadow . ’
The pieces of the Ruyi Bang called each other . And there would be no way the pieces would be stolen on the 21st floor, where people fought to the death .
They probably thought it was a good idea to put the pieces here because they thought the shadow wouldn’t be defeated .
And coincidentally or otherwise, someone with a piece would be someone strong enough to get here .
So they put the pieces in the shadow and continued gathering them .
But the pieces were now in Yeon-woo’s hand .
There was no reaction from the piece . It was probably too strong .
But Yeon-woo lightly laughed and moved onto the next section after putting the piece into Intrenian .
The 32nd section opened .
There, a young version of the Martial King was sitting in a lotus position .
Most shadows were expressionless, but it seemed like that shadow had been heavily influenced by the Martial King . He fully emanated a mischievous vibe .
But Yeon-woo was able to see the sharp beast in him .

The beast was still young, but it had sharp teeth and claws . The Martial King had said he caused a lot of trouble when he was younger . It was clear to see why .
Yeon-woo raised Vigrid into position .
Before Yeon-woo had left the One-horned tribe, the Martial King had asked if he would be able to defeat his younger self .
And Yeon-woo had answered that he would pay him back for all the suffering he went through .
To defeat your teacher . To surpass them . It was something that any disciple would think about if they had an outstanding teacher .
And the same went for Yeon-woo .
He wondered how the ‘genius’ Martial King was when he was his age .
Also, he felt his competitive streak burning up . He defeated his brother and even the head bishop of the Devil Army . Since he was already here, he wanted to see it to the end . The Martial King was just someone he had to go through to reach that end .
[The trial of the 33rd section is beginning . ]
And when the wall was lifted .
The Martial King suddenly raised his arms . Then, he moved his lips like he was speaking .
‘I surrender . ’
A shadow that was supposed to do what the trial of the state told them to do had free will?
It was impossible . There hadn’t been anything about this in the diary .
Yeon-woo wasn’t able to move forward . For the first time since he entered the 21st floor, something felt off .
“Is this it?”
Jang Wei checked the door of the smithy and entered .
Creak .
“Excuse me . ”
“We’re closed, so go back . ”
The sun was still high up in the sky, but he spoke in an annoyed voice . He really made things whenever he wanted, like the rumors .
Jang Wei ignored him and entered the door . Inside, the sound of metal banging against itself was continuously ringing out .
“Shit! I’m not working right now, what are you?”
Henova turned back, frowning .
Jang Wei looked at him with an indifferent face .
“Are you Henova?”
While he was waiting for a reply, he moved his hand towards his back to pull out a dagger . The dagger shined .
