episode_0152

The first time the magic lake was discovered was episode 8.

The 9th episode was the first time the gimmick was solved and Suho’s proof was obtained.

I still remember the artifact information shown by the measurement diagram at the time.

▶Measurement: Proof of protection

▶Elements: ｢Artifact｣ ｢Top Level｣ ｢Prosthetic Hand｣…

– It’s up!

Both arms raised with joy that made my fingertips and toes tingle.

A top-level artifact that is said to be difficult to obtain has appeared.

While I was running away from an extermination order, I stopped by the magic lake to hide for a while and was just trying to raise my magic stat…!

It’s up!

‘What are the options there! It looks great!’

Guardianship. protect and protect

Even at first glance, it appears to be a defense-type ability. Moreover, the grade is top-notch, and the prosthetic hand can be worn like equipment…!

His eyes naturally sparkled at that. An extermination order had already been issued, and they were being beaten non-stop.

If you wear this, your character will be reduced to nothing more than a rag!

With that thought in mind, I clicked on wearing it with a smile.

– Tiring!

‘Ayit washpal.’

I haven’t tried it.

Until now, it was the type of thing where people were chosen based on the topic of tools.

The 9th inning, which had just entered the malignant route at the time, could not handle him.

Of course, I didn’t give up and tried many times, but the artifact was very tricky.

There was also a feeling of resentment. Up until the previous 8th session, I had been taking the good-oriented route, but as soon as I changed my tendency, something like this suddenly appeared.

I thought about simply ‘gorging’ it, but I was worried that there would be a backlash before I could digest it internally, so I just sold it on the black market.

After that, I couldn’t use it even in the 10th episode.

The 11th Diamond Warrior also tried lowering the evil level a bit, but was hit by an electric shock.

It is an artifact with extremely difficult conditions.

So there was some concern.

Am I allowed to use this?

Can I satisfactorily use an artifact that clearly wants to be good?

.

.

.

done.

It was very simple… I didn’t do anything, but it was unlocked arbitrarily.

‘what is this.’

I observed the evidence of Suho, who suddenly lost his left arm.

As the name suggests, Suho’s prosthetic arm is in the shape of an arm.

The overall appearance is rough rather than delicate, and the color is bright white.

‘It stings.’

The cross section of the severed arm stings.

It felt like it was tickling, but it felt hot, like it was on fire.

In Sifnaha, when Aerus cut off his arm, his magic circuit was naturally torn off.

– It’s crazy…

The section of the torn magic circuit wriggled and took root little by little towards the prosthetic hand.

Magical energy is coming out of the prosthetic hand and attaching itself to my magic circuit.

It was expressed as a golden line emerging from the surface of the prosthetic hand.

Should I call it a kind of attunement or transplantation process?

“Ah, ah! Wait a minute, junior!”

While I was enduring the rising pain.

Lee Ji-yeon, who had been blinking blankly, suddenly got scared and tapped Su-ho’s left arm.

“You can’t use things like that! Take it off quickly…!“

[yes?]

Take it off?

When I questioned the sudden remark, Jiyeon Lee pulled my left arm in an urgent tone.

Perhaps because the transplant was taking place, subtle sensations were transmitted.

“If you use an artifact like that, your body’s regeneration will be blocked…!”

‘Ah, that’s what you meant.’

Even in a world where supernatural abilities exist, loss of a limb is definitely a serious injury.

However, it is not an injury that cannot be recovered.

Although it is quite time consuming and expensive, restoration of the limb is fully possible.

Even if the body is lost, the blueprint for that part remains in the soul.

Based on that, it is a form of restoring limbs according to the plan by filling the body with vitality.

‘but…’

I took a quick look at the prosthetic hand. Golden lines sparkle on the surface of the prosthetic hand. The senses are becoming increasingly precise.

If you attach an artifact that is sufficient to transplant a torn magic circuit like this, the blueprint will be deteriorated.

In other words, if you wear this, your real arm may not be restored.

[it’s okay]

“Yes?”

It doesn’t really matter.

Jiyeon Lee blinked.

I gently removed the hand pulling my arm and lowered my head.

[Thank you for your concern]

[But it’s really okay]

I moved my left finger in some awkward way and shook my head.

‘I’m not even relaxed enough to complain that much…’

Right now, I am wondering if I will be able to live for more than 10 years.

Isn’t it impossible to throw away a top-class artifact for fear of not being able to restore just one arm?

– Jejeok

The exit was opened with the power of space.

The space slightly in front split.

A blue vortex arose around that place. The fog that had settled into the cave was swept away by the whirlpool.

[The exit is open]

[Let’s leave quickly]

From what I heard, there was no time to hang out here.

Lee Ji-yeon, who seemed somewhat dazed, seemed to have noticed him and sighed deeply and nodded.

“…Yes. That’s how it should be.”

Then, with a calm appearance, he drew the earth, formed armor, and took the lead.

Jiyeon Lee left the dungeon first.

As a tanker, he is claiming to be the leader.

I also threw myself into the whirlpool.

.

.

.

‘Tsk.’

The moment I came out of the dungeon, I felt a sense of foreignness.

The surroundings have changed since I entered.

The land is dying.

Although it is not overflowing with poisonous water right now, the plants that were already worried as if they were in the area of its influence are withering.

‘The poison spewed by the two-headed poisonous dragon…’

This place is also in the area of influence. First of all, although the entrance is different, it is the same dungeon.

The entrance must have been quite close.

That means… the two-headed poisonous dragon is not far away.

When I saw it for myself, my face hardened even more.

‘Has he really become a commander…’

In the original work, the two-headed poisonous dragon is revived approximately three years later.

In the meantime, additional sacrifices and by-products of the two-headed poisonous dragon had to be collected.

Nevertheless, it was an extremely poor and uncontrollable setting that ran wild.

‘but…’

According to Ji-yeon Lee, the two-headed poisonous dragon, although unstable, was clearly under control.

I know the specifications of the head of the Four Gods Church.

I know that there can be variables as it is reality and not a game.

Even taking him into account, I couldn’t understand it at all.

Even though he failed, if he had the skills to control a third-tier alpha entity, there would have been no need to shut himself up and hold his breath.

– Chick, chijijijijik…

[Transmission failed]

“Tsk, communication is not working.”

Jiyeon Lee, who was sending a communication using her smartwatch, clicked her tongue.

[There are many dungeons nearby, so communication may be difficult]

In a space where many dungeons are distributed, the magic waves are crowded.

Because of this, communication failures often occur.

Jiyeon Lee continued to attempt communication while also looking at the surrounding geography.

“Then let’s head to the nearest free city first.”

[Senior, do you plan to stop the two-headed poisonous dragon?]

“Yes. Support will come quickly, but we can’t sit idle in the meantime.”

Jiyeon Lee said as if it was natural.

He is also a great person.

‘He’s a good person.’

This is why they worry about me having to wear a prosthetic arm for the rest of my life, and why they unconsciously claim to be the leader despite being injured.

And even now, without hesitation, he is willing to risk his life and fight for others.

Isn’t the reason he got injured in the first place because he used himself as a decoy to save others?

Although it was only recently that I had a conversation with Jiyeon Lee, I felt that she was a good person.

– Oh, fuck the talent gap.

…If it were based on the original work, would Hong Yeon-hwa and Baek A-rin have a small sense of inferiority? You may be harboring feelings of jealousy.

[yes]

[If so, please wait a moment]

After asking for understanding from Jiyeon Lee, who was about to kick the ground, I sighed and concentrated my mind.

My left arm is still causing pain and the nerves are being gnawed away, but it’s not to the point where it’s devastating.

‘The power of observation.’

Normally, the usage method is fixed.

Fix a certain range and gather all information within the range.

Occasionally, I adjust the range by temporarily increasing or decreasing it, but in the end, I use it with a specified range.

That’s it.

This is how it was used at the time when it was clumsily tied to the power of space.

I am using this method because it is very convenient and effective, but due to my low level, I cannot cover all of this large land mass.

Limitations on scope. Collection of dense information within the scope.

‘Change your methods.’

The range does not limit the maximum. Just roughly omit the underground area and expand the scope as far as possible.

Dense information is not desired. We only want information about one entity.

I put my hands together in front of my chest. It’s a kind of hand sign that hasn’t been used since the left hand was torn off… It’s self-suggestion.

A white prosthetic hand and a hand wrapped in a black arm sleeve met.

– Jejeok

A crack appeared in the scope of observation.

Cracks spread like spiderwebs and soon collapsed.

The wall collapsed and the scope expanded.

Shiver! I felt a slight burden on my head.

My nose felt sore.

“Junior?”

I think my nosebleed broke out. It’s not something to worry about. Continue to expand your scope.

There was no dense information. Filter out everything. The only information received is poison.

There is a direction in which the venom becomes more and more intense. I turned my observation direction that way. The venom became even more intense.

A wave of poison came in.

and…

– creepy

‘found.’

I observed a snake that could never be seen alive.

Huge body, one empty head. Wave after wave of poison pouring from the snout.

My face hardened.

He’s got a city ahead of him.

There are many people in the city who have not yet been able to evacuate.

[found]

“First of all, the nosebleed… okay? What are you looking for?”

Jiyeon Lee asked back as she took out a cloth from her subspace pocket and tried to wipe my nosebleed.

[Two-headed poisonous dragon]

[Coordinates were specified]

Jiyeon Lee’s eyes opened stupidly. It looks like he doubts what he heard.

I reached out and held Jiyeon Lee’s hand.

“Uh, huh? Why suddenly raise your hand…”

Jiyeon Lee’s body trembled. I felt sorry if I was surprised, but I couldn’t afford to wait.

[I will explain the circumstances later]

[I’ll move right away]

“Yes? So, what is the reason for holding hands…“

– Ugh!

Jiyeon Lee’s words suddenly stopped.

The surrounding space seemed to be distorted and shook several times.

“No wait, this is…!”

‘Exercise of power, space.’

The space that had been shaking suddenly shrunk and became distorted like a whirlpool.

I was swallowed up by the whirlpool.

Immediately after, a dizzying feeling of floating swept over my entire body.

Crash! The sound of the harsh wind pounded my ears.

Hair shot up.

“Uh, uh huh?”

Jiyeon Lee let out a dazed sound again.

“Ah.”

She turned her head back and forth and looked around. You will probably be able to see the sky and the ground clearly beneath your feet.

“This is crazy.”

And, you will also see the head of a two-headed poisonous dragon below your feet.

I let go of her confusion and pulled my right arm back.

‘Ability to expand, homogenize.’

Pop! Clench your fists. The concentrated magical power changed. Magical power leaked out between my grasps.

The time is night. The surroundings are dark. The land soaked in poison is full of green.

‘white night.’

Suddenly, a golden light spread out, dispelling the darkness.

The light cut through the darkness in a straight line and struck the head of the two-headed poisonous dragon.
