Chapter 186
Soul Link (5)
The name that has been troubling you ever since you were a child.
‘… I thought it was over already. ’
When I heard Raven was back, I was conscious.
One, what can one do with his own strength in a land that is already dying?
So I was paying less attention.
‘But… did you still have the strength?’ ’
Power or the power of the individual, I thought I was over him now.
The results of my observations were decisive.
That giant whirlpool of flames that even you can’t handle.
Raven and his accomplices seem to be controlling it.
‘They all said that they were disciples. ’
All those numbers seemed to be Grand Sword Masters.
‘… You’re crazy. ’
Only one Grand Sword Master can surpass the Marquis, or the Duke.
But there are ten of them.
‘This is dangerous. ’
Duke Bismarck recalls in his mind the image of Duke Raven rising.
“… damn it! ”
Boom!
A shattered office.
Most of his office pickers were damaged because he could not cope with the instantaneous wave spread from his body.
Let’s do it.
“What’s the matter! ”
When the guards outside hear the commotion, they rush through the door.
What they saw was the duc’s bureau of bureaucracy, and the duc’s angry face.
“Never mind. Get out.”
“… Yep! ”
Duke Bismarck is usually quite humble, but when he looks like that, he turns into a demon.
That’s why the guards sneaked out because they didn’t want the fire to spread.
The Duke left alone again.
His mind went blank.
‘… should we improve relationships? ’
Reasonably, it was foolish to turn an enemy of Raven, who had such immense power.
No, it would be great if I just let it go.
However,
‘There’s really not much left. ’
Duke Bismarck was disappointed.
Soon to die, Emperor.
The emperor has yet to gain power.
The opportunity to open a new dynasty called the Bismarck Dynasty was coming, now that all power was intact to him.
But what if you were to acknowledge and treat Duke Raven’s power in this situation?
‘The powerless bastards will stick to Raven like dogs. ’
As a result, the power of his opposition will be strong.
On the contrary, his power will weaken.
‘How do I stop one? ’
About a dozen Grand Sword masters.
‘… but there is one way. If you call him… ’
Him.
A second-in-command who learned magic from his own father.
A great genius in his ninth class in the shortest time.
After all, the dominant man who ascended to the court wizard’s position with the body of a heretic.
And now he’s retired and never shows up.
‘Liver…. ’
I was once jealous of him, but I saw his overwhelming power and I lost my refusal.
I just admire it now.
‘If you ask him…. ’
Raven would also be “deleted” as soon as he pointed a finger.
No matter how many Grand Sword Masters there are.
‘… Yes. Now’s your chance. ’
Duke Bismarck picks up the pendant from his father’s neck and lifts it close to his face.
The only artifact that can communicate with the River without revealing itself.
He quietly breathes Mana into the pendant.

“Lord Bahrain, have you heard the news? I saw Duke Raven come back. ”
A slightly bold, but unspoken voice spreads through the room.
“Yes. The Empire is buzzing with that right now. ”
The old man called Bahrain quietly answered the voice of the asteroid.
The old man’s eyes were filled with admiration.
The body in front of him is his own master and should be the owner of the empire.
He was the First of His Holiness, Hardin Urencia.
“… of course. I honestly didn’t know much about the Empire’s Guardian Sword. I’ve never seen it, and it’s been a long time. ”
Hardin talks with moxie.
Bahrain quietly confronted the young prince’s voice.
“I have no idea. ”
“So when I heard you were back, I didn’t point out that Duke Bismarck didn’t call him to the capital. ”
Duke Bismarck deals with the Great Sage instead of the Emperor lying on the floor.
And the prince says it’s natural.
It was a sad reality.
The words of Prince Hardin continue.
“By the way, You single-handedly annihilated an Orc army… He’s a great guy, isn’t he? ”
With a dazzling look on his eyes, Prince Hardin looks at Bahrain.
“Yes. He was a legendary hero before he disappeared. ”
Bahrain bravely confronted him.
An old comrade we fought with, Raven.
When you think of him, the image that comes to mind is “strength,” as it were.
“So Lord Bahrain, I decided.”
Prince Hardin approaches out the window.
Then Hardin watches the sunset outside the window.
The beautiful sunset over the Imperial City seems to have caught my attention.
“What are you talking about? ”
Bahrain asked as if he was curious about the prince’s decision.
And then, his answer flowed out.
“… I will make the Empire’s Guardian Sword my ally.” ”
The prince’s ambition to make Raven his ally.
With the orange glow of sunset spreading across his face,
A glimmer of hope was spreading to the emperor who was beaten and run away with no strength.
* * *
Sang-woo’s group returns to Raven territory with the self-immolated.
Their actions spread throughout the territory.
“Raven!”
Raven Land is literally engulfed in festive atmosphere.
No matter how enthusiastic the crowd was, Duke Raven never had a quiet day.
“Phew… Let’s take a break. ”
His wife Raven is busy wandering around with her brother, Duke Nigel Raven, to make peace with the public.
Sang-woo only synchronized one identity, and he walked out the back.
‘I’d rather fight. ’
I could smash all the fights, but I was tired of giving speeches or selling faces to cope with the deterioration of the colonists.
That’s why I sent you a suicide note, and you missed it.
And then Sang-woo, who was a little quiet, got ready to check out the forgotten rewards.
‘Now let’s check your skills. ’
Sang-woo opened the System Skills window with an anticipated expression.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Necromancy (Lv.31)/Casting]: Consume Energy to summon a self like self. The number of summoned objects increases depending on the level.
Currently callable: 31
Cooldown: 10 hours 15 minutes
Copy the two pieces of equipment on the body.
Phase change: the position of the body and alternate identities is switched.
You can summon a Special Identity.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
The Necromancy skill has moved beyond level 30 in this battle.
‘It doesn’t add up to anything. ’
Instead, up to two copies of the equipment were possible.
‘This is good. There will be endless uses.’
Once you replicated your Battlesuit all the time, you never had a chance to replicate another piece of equipment, but now your weapon can replicate as well.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Overmind (Lv.60)/Permanent]: It is a pioneer of mental groups. It pushes the limits of the mind.
Enhanced Identity: the ratio reflects 80% of the body’s stats.
Command: You can access the nemesis objects to which the mind is connected.
Identify objects: Allows you to examine the status of a confined object. Organize commands.
Multitasking: enables multiple tasks at the same time.
Mind barrier: Protects and strengthens the mind.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
There, the Overmind Skill becomes level 60, finally reflecting 80% of its stats.
Today, Sang-woo has about 800 stats, so each one of them was able to achieve 640 stats.
‘Nuclear lasers are equally powerful, regardless of their stats. ’
Unlike skills that are strengthened by magical power, skills with fixed damage were equally powerful, regardless of altercation or limb.
‘But it’s not bad. By next year, it’ll be 100%. ’
At the current rate of growth, if the overmind skill reached 100 levels, the self-reflection rate would be 100%.
‘That’s fucked up.’
Sang-woo needs to work harder and harder for that day.).
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Psychic Abyssal/Permanent (Lv.80)]: Absorbs monster essence.
When killing a monster, there is a 80% chance to absorb their stats.
The increased width varies depending on the monster’s strength.
Increases the chance of stat absorption greatly when killing in a hit.
The larger the monster, the higher the Stat Absorption Rate.
Consume the core to gain additional stats.
Consume monster carcasses to gain additional stats.
A small chance to absorb the energy of nearby monsters.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
And yet you’ve reached level 80 of the Monster Spirit Skill.
I noticed a new characteristic.
‘The energy of the monsters around me is absorbed…’ ’
It seemed to absorb an intangible energy like Mana.
“It’s a dog.”
Now, not only do you kill monsters using your self-immolation, but you do not have to do anything about it.) It meant he was gaining stats just by being on the streets.
Of course, the description that the probability is low was not expected to be very efficient.
‘It’s better than nothing. ’
Sang-woo gladly examined his other skills as well.
The Stormbringer sword rose to a large extent, and the growth of skills such as the Stormbore Mana Engine and the Ironclad was prominent.
Most of the other small skills are also increased.
‘Now let’s take a look at some of the new skills. ’
Sang-woo lowered the skill window to check for newly added skills.
How many monsters were killed, and dozens of skills were created.
Among them, the notable skills were:
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
· [Photos Explosion/Casting (Lv.1)]
· [Battle Aura/Perpetual (Lv.1)]
· [Command Aura/Permanent (Lv.1)]
· [Beast Training/Casting (Lv.1)]
· [Power of the Beast/Casting (Lv.1)]
· [Totem/Casting (Lv.1)]
· [Healing Ward/Casting (Lv.1)]
· [Bamfarik Ward/Casting (Lv.1)]
……
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Phototranspiration was a skill that was literally an instant moment of anger, eliminating your physical abilities.
You lose your mind, but it’s kind of a necessity to get stronger.
‘I’m going to use it on the alter ego. ’
Sang-woo thought that an almost mentally impregnable self-immolation could be a picture of anger.
“Come battle, come command… This is dog honey.” ’
And there was an unexpected return.
A battle ora and command ora skill that occurred while defeating Draxar.
It was a skill that naturally spread the energy of the body outward, enhancing the physical abilities of all allies within a certain area or boosting the mental strength.
A kind of passive skill.
‘It’s going to give me more self-immolation. ’
Since the basic stats were already quite high, this passive skill to raise the stats was very good with Sang-woo.
‘I got two. Hehe. ’
Sang-woo got good skills and looked at the rest with a happy heart.
But the rest of us have done nothing.
Beast training was a kind of taming skill that tamed monsters.
The power of the beast was a kind of buff that harnessed the power of the beast, and it felt like a subversion of the photoexplosion.
A totem is a skill that can literally be used on a piece of wood to create a buffing totem. It does not look very effective.
Totems are crumbly during combat.
Ward skills similar to totem skills were also the same.
‘Well, maybe we can use it later. ’
Sang-woo has not had much skill since then, so he tried to stop checking the skill window.
A message caught his eye.
[The Orc Priest Bioran’s digestion is complete.]
[Soul Link Skill was created.]
It was a system message that a new skill was created.
‘Soul link? ’
The user quickly examines the bottom of the skill spear, which appears to be an unfamiliar skill.
