Chapter 236: Chapter 236 - The Summer Queen (1)
Chapter 236 – The Summer Queen (1)
Kindred ran furiously at Yeon-woo . Demonic energy whirled around him like a storm . Dust clouds rose up to pelt him like a sandstorm .
But—
“That’s nice too . ”
Yeon-woo smirked . He even crossed his arms with a relaxed face .
Kindred felt anxious looking at Yeon-woo . It was the same danger he felt when he was hit with Meteor Strike .
“What?”
“Meteor Strike . You didn’t think I only prepared one, right?”
“Stop it if you can . ”
Kindred quickly looked behind him . He thought he could stop it if it came from the sky like earlier, but the summoning circle was already in front of him .
“Cainnnn!”
Kindred’s face crumpled when he saw the shadow that covered his face .
It was small compared to the meteorite that destroyed the Brocken Fortress, but it was still big enough to bury tens of people .
Boom!
Kindred punched the meteorite to shatter it . However, his body wasn’t completely healed yet, so his punch wasn’t as powerful as it should’ve been .
Kindred was flicked away like a kite without its string .
“You’re doing well . Keep trying that . ”
Yeon-woo lightly flicked his finger where Kindred was . As he did, tens of magic circles opened around Kindred, and small meteorites were spewed out .
Kwang! Kwangg!
Kwakwakwang!
The price was the 4 blue crystals of the barrier’s centers . He used the first 3 and the Philosopher’s Stone to summon the first meteorite, but if he just summoned small meteorites, the remaining one was enough .
On top of this, Boo opened a portal with the Lawless Book and Yeon-woo added Demonism, so they didn’t have to worry about the meteorites’ strength . And this was all focused on a single person, so even Kindred wasn’t going to be able to bear it .
Krrrng!
Kwakwakwa—
Currrrr—
When the magic attack finally ended, Kindred was left above a burnt crater .
He was kneeling on one knee, and his entire body was covered with burns and holes . His face was broken too, so he could only look up at Yeon-woo with his single eye .
The nickname of Plague Ghost no longer fit him .
“C… . . ain!”
“You’re enduring well . ”
“Cain!”
“Sorry . ”
Clack—
“But there’s still one left . ”
The last portal opened above Yeon-woo’s head .
“Cainnnn!”
Kwangg!”
Yeon-woo lightly clicked his tongue seeing a burnt Kindred collapsed on the ground .
Although he wasn’t in the condition to move, he was still faintly breathing .
He had a tenacity for life, like a cockroach .
‘Is this also due to the influence of the 72 Bian?’
If he was left alone, he would probably heal himself . It was an unbelievable recovery speed . However, Yeon-woo was happy that the depth of the 72 Bian was deeper than he thought .
“I’ll… . . find you, and kill… . . !”
Yeon-woo stabbed Vigrid into Kindred’s babbling head .
His head broke easily . Black dust scattered away .
“So it was fake . ”
Yeon-woo clicked his tongue . He had stabbed him first with Vigrid to confirm, but it seemed like his suspicions were correct . It was a shadow .
The corpse that was found in the Monkey King’s Palace was probably also a shadow . His actual body or another shadow might come to avenge himself, but Yeon-woo thought it wasn’t going to happen for the time being .
‘Even if it’s a shadow, the attack to his mind wasn’t something that he could recover from easily . ’
The Reflect didn’t disappear just because a shadow died . Rather, it would have even more detrimental side effects .
It would probably take a while for Kindred to get himself together .
And that was enough for Yeon-woo .
Just by stopping the interference of the Devil Army, he had done a lot . Also, the other bishops that Kindred brought had probably died as well .
Yeon-woo passed where Kindred had been . Not too far away, he found Vieira Dune half-buried by the remnants of the explosion .
Unlike Kindred, Vieira Dune was dead . There weren’t any traces of her using Body Transfer either .
He could see her soul tied to her body through his Draconic Eyes .
Kya!
Vieira Dune, having become a soul, was completely on the defensive against Yeon-woo . But there was nothing a soul could do to Yeon-woo .
Tsk .
Yeon-woo clicked his tongue seeing her .
If he knew she was going to die this futilely, he would’ve made her suffer more .
But since she was a high ranker and the leader of a clan, he thought it would be a somewhat difficult fight .
Even if the function of the Philosopher’s Stone was blocked, she was the apostle of the ‘Great Mother . ’
But Vieira Dune did not resist much . Was it because she didn’t have any time to use magic from the sudden attack, or because she trusted in the stone too much?
Whatever the reason, Yeon-woo felt it was futile .
‘This woman shouldn’t have died like that . ’
Yeon-woo’s eyes flashed sharply . Vieira Dune had to die more painfully than the other traitors .
The others just turned their backs, but Vieira Dune had played with his brother’s heart .
And with what happened to Sesha, he could never forgive her .
He could add her to his collection and make her feel horrible pain, but there were still differences between when you were dead and when you were alive .
However, there was nothing he could do anymore .
Thinking he should at least squeeze everything from her soul, he spread his left hand and absorbed Vieira Dune’s corpse with Bathory’s Vampiric Sword .
“Swallow . ”
A great amount of magic power flowed into his body, probably because she had been an apostle .

[You absorbed life and vitality . ]
[Strength increases by 1 . ]
[Dexterity increases by 2 . ]
[The proficiency of ‘Bathory’s Vampiric Sword’ has increased . 49 . 8%]
His body was already complete, so it didn’t affect his stats too much .
But there were still some unexpected gains .
[You have succeeded in collecting the soul . All the magic barriers set up by the soul have been released, and the artifacts are being given to the taker . ]
[You have earned the ‘Ominous Philosopher’s Stone . ’]
A purple light wrapped around Yeon-woo’s left hand . There was a stone the size of half his hand . It wasn’t as big as Yeon-woo’s, but it was the biggest of the Walpurgisnacht .
And its rank was different, as expected of the stone belonging to the leader .
Yeon-woo wondered whether he should keep it, but he just handed it over to the one it should belong to .
‘Boo . ’
[Thank . You . ]
It would be difficult to combine it with the Philosopher’s Stone he had . Also, Boo was one of the largest contributors to this attack . He wanted to give him a present .
Boo accepted the stone with trembling hands . Inferno Sight flamed up . A mixture of emotions swirled in his eye sockets . Joy, happiness, gratitude .
He was ever so grateful that his owner gave him this item like it was nothing . The greatest luck he had in this new life was being able to serve Yeon-woo .
Yeon-woo grinned and turned back to his left hand . The absorption was finishing up .
Thankfully, the message that he wanted popped up .
[‘Bathory’s Vampiric Sword’ has succeeded in taking and absorbing a part of the other’s skills . ]
[The skill ‘Body Transfer’ has been created . ]
‘It’s done . ’
He had succeeded in taking Vieira Dune’s signature skill . Body Transfer . It was a skill that allowed him to move his Ego Data as long as he had another body .
Yeon-woo might not have a use for it since he wouldn’t be able to gain a Dragon Human body, but the skill’s effects would differ based on the user’s traits .
[The skill ‘Body Transfer’ is a power . ]
[The owner of the power expresses displeasure at having their apostle killed . The mysterious being takes the power back . ]
[A new skill is being searched for to replace the missing skill . ]
[It is heavily influenced by the trait ‘Demonic Dragon Body . ’]
[It is influenced by the title ‘Guide of Death . ’]
[It is influenced by the title ‘Guide of Evil Spirits . ’]
[A new skill, ‘Regeneration,’ has been created . ]
‘It worked!’
Yeon-woo clenched his fists . He didn’t expect to use Body Transfer anyway, since it was the power that the Great Mother of the witches had given them .
But considering how the system was always straightforward in how it gave rewards, he knew that it would try to look for something similar to it .
He was extremely satisfied with the skill he earned .
[Regeneration]

Numbering 91
Proficiency: 0 . 0%
Summary: A skill that you earned instead of the stolen power ‘Body Transfer . ’
When you are injured, the speed at which you heal yourself increases . With greater proficiency, you can even recover an arm that has been cut off . In some cases, fixing a broken heart is possible as well .
However, there is an absolute non-negotiable condition that your brain must be alive .
*Charge
When your health and magic power are lower than the set amount, they can be recovered faster depending on the situation .
If your health is lower than 10%, you can raise it by 50% once a day .
*Restore
When your body has been badly injured, it immediately returns to the state that it used to be in . The speed of recovery depends on your proficiency and amount of magic power .
A Numbering skill wasn’t bad . However, compared to the power ‘Body Transfer,’ its rank was lower than it should’ve been .
But Yeon-woo was perfectly satisfied . Since he injured himself frequently, this was basically the same thing as giving multiple lives to him .
Also, there was another reason why Yeon-woo wanted Regeneration .
‘Along with Shunpo, I now have 2 skills to match Allforone . ’
Shukuchi and Thousand Li Eyes . After these two, there was a third skill that players found out to be Allforone’s third skill .
Immortal (不死) .
Of course, it wasn’t like he really couldn’t die . You couldn’t do that unless you were a god or a demon . No, even they would die .
However, the Immortal skill that Allforone had was like he was actually immortal when people saw it .
It was a power that could heal him even if his head and soul were crushed .
A power to reappear again and again after death .
Because of that power, no players weren’t able to climb the wall called Allforone .
No one knew if Allforone’s ‘Immortal’ was a real skill . The name of the skill might be different .
However, his brother had realized that there was a certain secret to Immortal, and the materials needed for this were Regeneration or Body Transfer .
However, Regeneration itself was a Numbering skill, so it wasn’t easy to master it or raise its rank .
But if he could master it and satisfy the other condition, he could take a step closer to Allforone, who even the Summer Queen and Martial King couldn’t approach .
‘With this, I took everything that I needed . ’
Yeon-woo confirmed that Vieira Dune’s body was properly added to his collection and slowly got up .
Actually, he wanted to question Vieira Dune right then and there, but the fight wasn’t over .
He could feel living people spread throughout the territory with his Extrasensory Perception . They had survived through that pandemonium . A ranker was definitely a ranker . He couldn’t look down on them .
But thankfully, he had taken care of his biggest task, so now he would be able to move more freely .
Just then—
Ding, ding .
[The Sudden Quest (Field Arrest 2) has been completed . ]

[You have completed the quest with an overwhelming score . ]
[You have gained ‘The Opening of Intrenian’ as a reward . ]

[As a reward, you have gained ‘Dragon’s Blood (Dragon’s Blood Serum)’ . ]
He had seen the quests, but he forgot about them while he was chasing Vieira Dune .
He received the message that he cleared one of them .
Yeon-woo’s eyes instantly widened .
“… . . Just what happened?”
Aether looked behind him with shaking eyes . The sudden explosion in the fortress caused the fight with the Red Dragon to be interrupted .
Rumble—
The canyons fell, and there was a rockfall . That was definitely where Ione and the Elohim were . What happened to them?
Aether wasn’t worried about them . Rather, he felt something else .
Suspicion . He felt Ione and the members of the Senate were people who couldn’t die or disappear .
They had the power to destroy his family and restore his reputation . They were the people who were able to change his world .
In Aether’s world, it was unimaginable that they died .
But if it was an explosion of that scale, even Ione and the Elohim were probably in danger . Aether felt like his world was crumbling .
“Meteor?”
Tom and the rest of the Red Dragon were also shocked . He didn’t care if it was the Elohim or the Devil Army, or whoever it might be . But that was the path to the fortress .
If the meteor had fallen a bit later, they might have received the same fate . And would they have been able to survive? He didn’t know .
And on one hand, he wondered just what kind of bastard would do something so foolish in an Outer Space .
Unless it was the witches who summoned the meteorite to self-destruct, he didn’t know how the meteorite would’ve been able to break through the barrier .
It was something that even the Summer Queen with a healthy Dragon Heart wouldn’t have dared to do .
So Tom didn’t know what to do . A second meteorite might fall . He didn’t want to put his life in danger looking for the Philosopher’s Stone .
Aether and Tom just glanced at each other . Neither of them wanted to be the first to move . They were just silently standing there . Just then,
Vroom, vroom—
A portal opened above Tom . Familiar faces appeared .
A woman with long silver hair and 8 soldiers to serve her . Tom’s brothers had come with their queen mother at their side .
It was the arrival of the Summer Queen .
The war taken a new turn .
