‘Well, it’s not at a level where I need to worry too much about it yet.’

Pee-!

Do Yu-jin lightly waved her fingertips.

Then, the wall outside the barrier turned sharp like a hedgehog’s spines and instantly pierced through the monsters rushing in from outside.

A combo using [Welcome to My Castle (5★)] and [Ghost in Shadow Cloth (5★)], which creates a barrier of darkness and controls that darkness to attack enemies.

Keuuu-!

Kwaaah-!

The guys were helpless against Do Yu-jin’s attacks.

However, the wandering was short-lived, as the guys responded to Do Yu-jin’s offer by bringing back as many comrades as they had fallen, no, more than the number of comrades they had fallen.

Thanks to that, Han Si-yeon didn’t know, but right now, outside the barrier, a sight more annoying than a school of carp swarming in after seeing the bait was unfolding.

‘Because you’re going to deal with these guys, in the original game it was standard to develop your character for at least one semester before coming here.’

In order to endure waves of monsters while sparring with an unknown inspector and receiving enlightenment from him, at least that level of investment was necessary.

‘Well, he didn’t need to do that, so I just brought him here.’

Do Yu-jin is in charge of both creating a space for sparring and dealing with the hordes of dead that keep coming in.

Instead, it was impossible for Do Yu-jin to get involved in her most important talent, but there was no need to even touch that part in the first place.

Choaaaak-!

“Hahaha! As expected of a young lady! Her skills may be mediocre, but her talent cannot be ignored!”

“Who dares call me a loser!”

Now that Do Yu-jin has taken all the penalties the system has given her, Han Si-yeon can freely display all of her talents without any filters.

That’s why Do Yu-jin was slightly looking forward to it now.

If things continued like this, it seemed possible that Han Si-yeon would fully recover from the unknown inspector’s enlightenment and receive a ‘sentence’ with a higher level of performance than the original reward.

‘Well, that would only be possible if I could perfectly withstand the monster wave.’

Will he be able to withstand the onslaught of corpses that no player has ever endured until the end of the game?

Even while thinking such thoughts, Do Yu-jin had no intention of stepping down from that position.

Because in this place, I needed to clearly understand how much power I had now, and how I could utilize my newly acquired traits.

At that moment.

Kuuung-!

From outside the barrier, stronger guys than those who had appeared so far began to emerge.

‘Hmm, it looks like it’s about the same size as an ogre.’

An opponent that seems difficult to withstand with the combination of [Welcome to My Castle (5★)] and [Ghost in Shadow Cloth (5★)] as before.

‘The timing is good,’

Do Yu-jin smiled faintly as she looked at that opponent.

Phew-

‘I’ve just finished driving all the blackstone stakes, so I guess it’s okay to disable [Welcome to My Castle (5★)].’

Glance-

Do Yu-jin lightly rolled her eyes and looked at the two remaining traits she had chosen from among the many traits she had gained by making a contract with an unidentified summoner.

[The ultimate meaning of summoning]

▶Rating – 9 stars

▶ Description – The end of summoning magic that humans can reach. I salute you for reaching it.

▶Effect – Now that you know the ultimate meaning of summoning, your summoning magic will change from now on.

[To you who are connected to the origin of the beginning]

▶Rating – 10 stars

▶ Description – The world bows its head to you, the nameless being who has existed within the rules of the world since the beginning, and who is connected to its origin.

▶Effect – Use its form to twist the rules of the world, use its power to add immortality to existence, and use its majesty to make those below follow it.

‘I’d like to try summoning magic, but… … it’s too much since I can’t summon the important beast.’

So the combinations to choose from were set.

Click-

Do Yu-jin checked her status window with a now familiar sound.

[The One Standing at the Edge of Darkness (9★)] and [To You Who Are Connected to the Origin of the Beginning (10★)]].

“Ao… … ”

Do Yu-jin, who had changed her traits, felt a shock as if her head was going to burst for a moment and her body staggered slightly.

Legendary and mythic traits.

Just as a house built on sand is vulnerable to impact, Do Yu-jin’s weak body had a hard time withstanding the power of these two characteristics.

‘At most, it’s just a change of traits. If I use up all my strength, I’ll be gone from this world right away.’

but……

Wheeze-

Do Yu-jin, who had activated the trait and felt and understood the power contained within it, briefly considered what she could do now and then lightly raised her finger.

At that moment.

Phew-!

As all the monsters entered the boss room and prepared to go wild, huge black thorns rose from the shadows beneath their feet and pierced their bodies.

Do Yu-jin repeated this process several times as if she was touching the clay in her hand, and soon stopped swinging her fingers.

Iron Flap-

All the monsters in the room were reduced to broken sponges and thrown onto the floor.

‘and……’

Do Yu-jin couldn’t even think about rubbing her numb arm and was inwardly amazed.

A talent for darkness that transcends the limits set by the world and a transcendent means called [One who stands at the edge of darkness (9★)] and [To you who are connected to the origin of the beginning (10★)]].

I’ve only used a tiny fraction of the power that comes from combining these together, and this is it.

‘If I just raise my stats properly, I won’t have to worry about lack of strength for a while, right?’

◎ ◎ ◎

“Hahaha! This is good!”

Unlike Han Si-yeon, the man who had a vague idea of what was happening outside the barrier laughed loudly and the naturalization in his eyes burned even brighter.

“Wow, I never thought I’d be able to go all out without worrying about those annoying guys at the very end! Hahaha! It’s all thanks to you and your boyfriend!”

If it had been the original Han Si-yeon, she would have retorted and said that he was not her boyfriend.

But it was too much for her now.

Kagagak—!!

I didn’t have time to open my mouth because I was busy blocking the man’s sword that was swinging at me without any time to rest.

“Hmm, is this the limit now?”

The man who checked Han Si-yeon’s condition muttered with regret.

The enlightenment that had been continuously being conveyed had already stopped a little while ago.

It was partly because he had given her all the enlightenment she could get just by clashing swords, but more importantly, it was because any enlightenment beyond that would have been poisonous to Han Si-yeon.

“Young lady, your talent is truly amazing. I never imagined you would be able to absorb all that insight in such a short time.”

“Ugh! Even if I hear something like that… … !”

“Listen, but now that girl’s talent is actually becoming poison.”

The man spoke, pressing Han Si-yeon even harder.

Han Si-yeon’s posture gradually became distorted under the man’s attacks.

“Because we continued to accept the enlightenment we had received without properly processing it, it started to flow in the opposite direction.”

In simple terms, it was the curse of knowledge, a state where we knew too much and were unable to make choices.

“Of course, with your talent, you can quickly create your own sword, find the center of enlightenment, and escape the curse.”

Jeez-!

“But the problem is that my body will collapse faster than you can keep your balance.”

A reaction that draws out the power that was being suppressed.

The body of a man who had barely managed to hold on for a long time began to slowly crack.

“Ugh! You’re going to beat me up all by yourself and then run away!”

Han Si-yeon clenched her teeth and shouted.

The man laughed loudly at that.

“Hahaha! I’m sad that I can’t tell you my final realization, but what can I do? I’m satisfied that I was able to cross swords with someone like you in the end… … ”

At that moment.

Shururuk-

A shadow rose like a stream from under Han Si-yeon’s feet and covered her.

“Suddenly what are these… … Huh!”

Han Si-yeon suddenly let out a strange sound without realizing it when a shadow suddenly tightened around her entire body like a snake or a rope, especially around her chest and buttocks.

When Han Si-yeon lowered her head in embarrassment, she saw herself wearing a full-body latex outfit that looked like something a pervert would wear.

The moment I saw that sight and was about to blush reflexively.

“Don’t stop, keep swinging.”

Looking at her like that, Do Yu-jin spoke quietly.

“Hey! Ghost, you were the culprit! What the hell are you doing… … ”

“Now focus.”

Do Yu-jin cut off Han Si-yeon’s words and snapped her fingers.

“Huh? Huh? ”

Then, Han Si-yeon, unable to overcome the power of the shadow that was tightening around her whole body, began to attack the man like a puppet according to Do Yu-jin’s will.

Han Si-yeon shouted in bewilderment at the swordsmanship that was so familiar yet so awkward at the same time.

“What is this? Could this be the White Tiger Sword Technique?”

“Wow, this is refreshing?”

At that time, the man who saw the trajectory of the sword drawn by Do Yu-jin noticed the intention of the man who had been taking a step back the whole time to interfere in the sparring and said with a smile.

“Okay! Let’s hang out together!”
