Quest Given When Possessed 325

Chapter 325 – Rapid Growth (3)

It’s been a while since I started fighting Suzaku.

While I maintained the eight-wheel resonance, I was now able to use up to five shadow circles without difficulty.

After consuming mana, I continued to absorb the surrounding heat using the Flame God Technique, and I felt that the amount of mana I could handle gradually increased and then reached a plateau.

Similar Spiral Breakthrough

Fuwaaaaah!!!

The power of a pseudo-spiral breakthrough using five shadow circles has become much stronger than when using just one ring of shadow.

Although it is not at the level where a beam of mana is emitted like when using the real thing, I think it is the most efficient form to control.

“Keeeeek!!!”

The incompletely revived Suzaku soared into the sky, flapping his wings with difficulty.

It looked a little pitiful to see it struggling to fly, but perhaps because it was a boss monster, it seemed to be moving to make the next attack rather than running away.

Rather than saying that he was a Suzaku, it would be more accurate to say that the spirit took the form of a Suzaku, and as he continued to be pierced by the pseudo-spiral breakthrough, his appearance became a mess.

It seemed like the growth of mana through the smoke flame magic had stopped, so to finish it off, I stepped on the volcano with all my strength and jumped up.

As I climbed higher and faster than the slowly rising Suzaku, I held the sword of shadow in my hand.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Flame wheel.

Shadow Circle.

I stabbed my sword into the ring of five shadows that appeared in front of me.

The ring of shadow amplified the negative mana in response to the sword of shadow I was holding, and I swung the sword to end Suzaku.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow energy. Yeonhwanryu (連環流) Chamjeol (斬切).

He swung the sword widely by connecting the two powers, from the shadow that destroys mana to the slash that adds cutting power.

Suddenly.

The guy who maintained his form without dying even after being stabbed countless times by the pseudo-spiral breakthrough was split in half by a slash containing a shading weapon.

The giant bird-shaped spirit lost its shape, turned into powder, and began to slowly fall into the volcano.

“Shahemoth! Get the powder!”

I immediately used Shadow Craft to summon Shahemos.

“Ah! It’s hot!!!”

And disappeared.

(Hey! How can I survive in such a hot place? I hate you, master!)

Ah. Right. It was so hot that I couldn’t last even a minute if I didn’t use the fire flame.

After spending a long time chopping bamboo shoots, the concept of temperature disappeared.

“Then I guess I’ll have to do it.”

I shot a shadow string on the floor, pulled the string of the shadow, and landed quickly.

Then, he created a huge funnel using Shadow Craft to catch the Suzaku powder.

At the end of the funnel, a small box was created using Shadow Craft, and red, yellow, and orange powder began to fall into it.

I stretched out my index finger and lightly touched the powder, and it was a fine powder that felt hot.

I can feel the heat even after using the Yeonyeom Shingoku.

‘If I could feed this, it would be a special medicine for women suffering from arrhythmia.’

There is no one in Jungwon who is suffering from arrhythmia that the government knows about, so I couldn’t take it with me in the first place.

I used it like a punching bag, but I could feel the temperature inside the dungeon continuing to drop, perhaps because the boss of the dungeon had died.

Now, I think I can use the Flame Magic to gather the remaining heat, but I guess I should check the quest’s reward first, right?

I saw that the quest was cleared when I cut down Suzaku, but now I have a chance to confirm that Shahemoth has been reverse summoned and I have taken the powder.

『Quest』

〈Defeat the incompletely resurrected Suzaku.〉

-Completion: Skill Link (C) -〉 Skill Link (A)

“The main skills have been strengthened in their own way.”

I immediately noticed a difference in the skill link.

【Skill: Skill Link (A)】

【Connects forces from different sources.】

【One. Boost: Ability is amplified.】

【2. Unlimited: Connect two or more skills.】

“Crazy.”

Instead of limiting it to three, it was set to a wider range of ‘two or more’.

But I don’t know if I can handle the mana consumption of Unlimited.

When I first learned Skill Link and used Shadow Lance as my main skill, the limit was to use it six times.

After that, I grew a lot and got to the point where I didn’t care about the number of times, but it’s true that it’s still a burden unless it’s an unusual situation like today where mana is infinite.

For now, I’ll have to seal the Unlimited and start with the task of increasing the amount of mana, which is the purpose of coming to this hot dungeon.

This is also the path for Unlimited.

It was midnight when I came out of the dungeon.

I felt a little sorry for the dungeon manager who had to work the night shift because I spent a long time in the dungeon, but I wasn’t just wasting time in the dungeon.

The dungeon manager who was waiting at the dungeon exit looked at me and congratulated me first.

“I’ve been in there for a long time, but it seems to have helped quite a bit.”

Have you noticed that the total amount of mana in her body has increased?

Even though I grew a lot after going into and out of the dungeon, I thought that there were many people stronger than me in this world.

“Yes. I have grown a little.”

“It’s late at night, so please go back quickly. You’re not going to sleep here, are you?”

I felt the will to leave work even now, so I walked quickly, took the warp gate, and returned to the Global Academy.

What do you think I should do with the Suzaku powder that I put in the box I made with Shadow Craft?

Doesn’t Seoyeon know something? Or maybe it would be a good idea to just check out the Internet, which is a treasure trove of knowledge.

When I took out her smartphone from her pocket, I noticed messages from Seoyeon that had come every hour since lunch.

I received 10 texts at hourly intervals asking if I had come out of the dungeon.

She also sent one to Naen, but it seemed like Seoyeon asked Naen to check if the message didn’t arrive at her smartphone.

He must have been quite worried because I didn’t answer. When I made the call, Seoyeon answered the phone in less than a second.

“Sian! Why are you calling me now?”

“I’m sorry. I was in the dungeon the whole time, so I didn’t see you. Did you keep sending me texts?”

“Ugh. Are you out of the dungeon now? Is that why you couldn’t reply?”

“Yes. I called as soon as I arrived at the academy.”

“Ha… Are you hurt?”

“Yes. I spent a long time with the punching bag to practice my skills.”

“Sandbag?”

“Yes. Seoyeon, do you have a container that can hold something hot?”

“Something like a stainless steel side dish container? I don’t have one? Do I have a container that can hold hot food?”

She heard Seoyeon asking Naen if she was with him in the dormitory.

“Seoyeon, ask what it is.”

“What is Xian trying to include?”

Seoyeon asked me what I was planning to put in as Naen told me.

“I have collected some powder of a high-grade fire spirit.”

“That’s spirit powder? Even if it’s fire spirit powder, it’s just powder, right?”

When she heard that, she placed her hand on the shadow box containing the powder.

“Huh? It’s not hot? I guess I was mistaken because I was in a hot place to begin with.”

“Hehe. You make mistakes like that too?”

“I guess I was that tired. I think I need to get some rest. I’ll see you at lunch tomorrow.”

“Yes. Take a good rest.”

I arrived at the men’s dormitory while talking on the phone with Seoyeon.

I bought a bottled drink from the vending machine, drank it, and came into the room with an empty bottle.

I washed the bottle cleanly, dried the inside with a soft dye tool, and then dusted it with the powder.

“It seems worth collecting.”

Would you say it’s like colored sand filled in a transparent bottle? I thought I should collect other spirits if I could.

I cleaned up the powder from the bamboo shoot, took a shower, and took a nap.

The next day, I met Seoyeon and Naen for lunch.

As soon as Seoyeon saw me, she clung to me to make sure I was okay and used her healing skills on me.

After seeing that, Naen seems calm now.

“Why don’t you take him out? A summoned beast.”

Naen talked about Shahemos, which I showed him last time.

I remember her being scared at first because she mistook Naen for her body.

“Shahemoth is upset and not answering.”

Since I fought in the dungeon for a long time, I went to sleep right after returning to the dormitory.

Maybe that’s why he was upset, but he didn’t answer when I called.

Should I have comforted you a little more when you were summoned?

Even if he was mostly a young demon, he would have lived longer than me, so I thought it would be strange to appease him one by one.

“A familiar can get upset?”

Naen said to me with a surprised face.

“Yesterday the dungeon was so hot that I was counter-summoned as soon as I was summoned.”

“Then I might get a little angry.”

Seoyeon, who used a lot of healing skills on my body, which was full of vitality due to the effects of combat sleep, sympathized with Naen.

(Shahemoth, Shahemoth, Shahemoth.)

First of all, in order to wake Shahemos, I called him repeatedly so many times that it was annoying, and finally Shahemos spoke.

(I want to eat something cold.)

(Then I’ll call you after lunch.)

“He said he wanted to eat ice cream.”

“Really? The weather is getting a little chilly these days, but I guess my familiar has different tastes.”

In the world of Xian Raven and Han Xian, ice cream seems to taste better because it is a difficult food to eat.

Maybe it’s because of survival rules, but I no longer have to worry about food.

After lunch, I summoned Shahemos at the café inside the academy.

My mouth was sticking out, but when I saw the soft ice cream in front of me, I started to eat it, putting it all in my mouth as if it had slightly loosened.

Even though Seoyeon, Naen, and the female students around them saw me summoning them, they looked at the childlike Shahemos with loving eyes.

‘It seems that physical appearance has a great influence on mental age.’

Next time I’m possessed, should I make it look like a saint when I take out Shahemoth?

As an adult, Shahemos was very good-looking, so he let her go around in her younger form to avoid causing trouble, but it was worth considering.

“Master, please buy me more!”

“Okay, I understand.”

The problem is that I also feel a little weak due to my youthful appearance.
