Chapter 165 – Chapter 165
I was dubious.
I never thought it would be possible to borrow his abilities and use them.
It’s part of a monster’s body, but is it treated as a monster?
I started experimenting right away.
I tried to use the skill of Gilgamesh’s eyeball and the overflowing mana as if it were about to explode.
If everything goes as planned, I will be truly invincible.
Swish-!
He lightly swung the sword in his hand.
It was just as fast as the amount of magical power she had sent.
There, he gradually increased the amount of magic attribute he used and tested it.
Booung-!
Booooong!!
As the amount of mana consumed increased, not only was it possible to move surprisingly fast, but the action of simply swinging the sword caused the air to split and scream.
The sword cut through the air, and the aftermath was transmitted to a distant place even though no special skills were activated.
An unknown tree in the distance as well as a rock were sharply cut, and the shock wave generated every time he swung his arm made the surroundings foggy and dusty, as if a storm had raged.
“…”
When the amount of magical energy used exceeded a certain level, it became possible to move beyond the transcendent.
It became clear that Park Yu-ri, who had lost consciousness, was able to amputate my arm and break the energy-filled auto shield all at once thanks to this ridiculous magic power.
I shook my head.
I can’t be bruised and beaten by myself in a yard with no one watching.
Here’s a skill test.
Actually, this part is more important.
The skill that Gilgamesh’s eye had had was different from what was generally known.
“First, absorb mana…”
In order to use Mana Absorption, monsters are needed, but the monsters in this place were all organized before entering into a relationship with Yuri Park.
Even after a day has passed, the newly appeared monster is nowhere to be seen.
So she wondered if she had to get out of the gate, but suddenly the monster’s eyes tucked into her gloves came to mind.
Rather than bothering to find another monster, wouldn’t it be better to steal its mana?
To my eyes, Gilgamesh’s eyeballs already feel no different from an auxiliary battery with full capacity.
“…!?”
However.
This time things didn’t go as smoothly as expected.
Grabbing the wriggling tentacle again, I narrowed my brows because of the mana that didn’t fill up at all.
Just in case, I held my eyes directly in my hand and tried to absorb mana again, but there was still no response.
I wonder if it can’t be applied only to this eyeball, so I finally went out of the gate and twisted the neck of this and that monster and tried again.
However, this time, the results did not change at all.
Damn it!
Are the skills completely unusable?
I immediately tested another skill.
The target is an orc with fractured limbs.
I tried to heal it using the regeneration skill, but it was of no use.
It was not an important part for me to be able to use the absolute area and heal, but I was able to realize that most of the skills were unusable through this.
It was because he had no desire to live as a parasite or unite with the Orcs.
At best, it achieved a synchronization rate of 100% and took a place in the link list, but if it remains as it is, there will be great restrictions on its use.
Of course, it is possible to show more than transcendental movements by using mana, but since a large amount of mana must be used, it will only be for a short time, and being unable to use various attack skills can act at a disadvantage.
I couldn’t hold back a sigh as I returned to the gate where my colleagues were waiting.
If I was able to use the skill, I would have a means to respond to any enemy that appeared.
No, even if only mana absorption was available, it would have been a trump card.
What would you do if you were worried about this?
I must work hard to figure out how to use this large amount of mana usefully.
On the way back, I carefully packed my eyeballs that I had tied back with gloves and a top.
Suddenly, a thought runs through my head.
“I don’t have tentacles…”
Maybe the reason why I can’t use this guy’s skill is because he doesn’t have tentacles.
Actually it is.
My ability is to borrow abilities by filling the synchronization rate with others.
It was already confirmed through Gilgamesh’s eyes that the target did not have to be a human.
However, I think there must be a limit to bringing the monster’s ability… Skill.
For example, when a monster whose nails grow from time to time has the skill to shoot nails like bullets.
Just because I borrowed that ability, wouldn’t it mean I couldn’t fire my claws indefinitely?
It takes a month for human nails to grow, and even if I use the absolute realm to recover, my nails will be hard, big and not sharp like a monster in the first place, so it will be very ineffective for attacks.
Anyway, in my opinion, it is impossible to use this monster eye-like skill with a human body without tentacles.
Then, if there were tentacles, wouldn’t they be usable?
Apparently, it was impossible to absorb his mana in the test just a moment ago.
Even though his tentacles dug into my skin at that time…
However, since I hadn’t tested other skills, I made up my mind and decided to try again.
I couldn’t let go of the string of hope, thinking that other skills might work.
Because dealing with that bastard would require some means.
Of course, Park Yuri is secured, but the more cards you can use, the better.
Cranky… Cranky…
The tentacle of the monster’s eyes burrows into his left hand.
It doesn’t feel like being stabbed by a needle or invaded by something, but just by looking at the subtle movements of these wriggling tentacles, it’s sure to be true.
Not only did I immediately re-use the mana absorption skill, but I also tried other skills one after another.
However, this time, the expected results were not produced.
“Fuck…”
A system message was then heard.
[There is a threat to the system.]
I had temporarily disabled the auto shield to allow the tentacles to enter, but I had a slightly different idea right before re-activating it.
A dangerous thought, what if I tried to activate the skill when the tentacle penetrated deep enough to occupy my brain.
I don’t know what kind of joke I’m acting in a dangerous situation where I could completely hand over control of my body to him if I fail.
Could it be that because I’ve been through this situation so many times, a part of my brain has already taken control of it without me knowing?
“Mana absorption…!?”
It was strange.
I had never been successful so far, but the moment I activated the skill, I felt my mana recover, albeit just a little bit.
What?
I concentrated on absorbing mana again.
But this time it didn’t work.
Just the feeling of the tentacles digging into my body becoming stiff.
A feeling of paralysis began to spread through his veins.
The tentacles seemed to harden themselves, as if they didn’t want to give me mana.
But it was strange.
For some reason, the strange thought that I could control these tentacles at will dominated my head.
The tiny tentacles that grew from Gilgamesh’s eyeballs and burrowed into my body wriggled as if they were trying to get back into the gloves, as if they had read my thoughts.
But when I mentally refused, the tentacles stopped moving.
I focused my mind and activated my mana absorption skill with the intention of absorbing all of his mana.
A feeling of self-confidence dominated his whole body.
“…”
Obviously no sound is heard.
Only the tentacles are moving little by little.
I felt as if Gilgamesh’s eyeballs were screaming silently.
Eventually, through the experiment, my magic power, which I used, gradually began to recover.
A-79… A-80… A-81…
What is this again!?
Magic power is rising endlessly.
It surpassed the magic I had borrowed through synchronization, and before I knew it, it also exceeded the magic I had confirmed when I first contacted him.
… A-91… A-92…
How far are you going?
I concentrated all my nerves on the thought of killing Gilgamesh’s eyeballs.
In this way, mana gradually accumulated in my body.
And…
… A-135.
The magic power at the time I borrowed his ability was A-73.
In that state, the mana that had been reduced to A-62 through the experiment increased to this state as it absorbed all the mana of the monster’s eyes.
Like filling a rubber balloon with water, the maximum amount of magic attribute increases.
What the hell is this?
On the other hand, a change came to Gilgamesh’s eyeball, which had taken away all his mana.
The eyes, which had lost all magic, had no focus as if they belonged to a corpse, and the tentacles were gradually drying up.
There was also a change in the visible information, but mana was not detected as if I had turned off my magic using my ability.
Also, in the list of skills, a sign called ‘Hibernation*’ caught my eye.
Doesn’t look like he’s dead yet, so what the Immortal King said wasn’t a pure lie?
One last thing.
I suddenly felt like I could use one more skill.
Of course, it was a skill that Gilgamesh’s eye had.
Strangely, the urge to use this skill immediately arose.
The skill called ‘Parasite’…
