Chapter 61
Consolidation Area (2)
“Yeah · · · ·. Are you okay? ”
Me, too.
“First · · · backward · · · backward · · ·. ”
Hwaak
As I retracted my body that had entered the boundary area, I felt like I was getting away from something that was holding me back.
“Whoa, what the hell is this? ”
“It’s the power of closure. When you enter this area, you become powerless. So nobody goes this way. ”
My grandson told me.
Of course, she was going to “Nice.”
‘That’s it. Now that you’ve tasted the settlement, you’ll step back, won’t you? Pretend to turn around and turn to your destination. ’
She thought it would go according to plan.
I was mistaken.
“Well, from here on out, let’s just send the identities. Let’s wait a moment.”
“Yes? Not going back? ”
“Oh, we can explore it with self-immolation. Master, please protect me. ”
Copy that.
Sang-woo took his place when he finished speaking.
He alerted his surroundings to other identities and connected to the identity issue 2 through his family skills.
The self-immolation was a ruse.
‘Let’s get to the boundary area. ’
Issue 2 has begun its transfer.
Upon entering the boundary area, the same feeling of devastation as before captivated me.
‘Wow · · · I don’t want to do everything. ’
Fortunately, it did not hurt, so it felt easier than when it passed through the contaminated area when it received the symbol of exploration.
All I had to do was stare at him with orders to move forward.
Two, let’s get to Windwalk fast. ’
Again, the mandatory self-immolation began to move quickly, ignoring the debuff provided by the boundary region.
As I passed by, I saw monsters all over the boundary area, most of whom were lying on the ground or lying on the ground.
You see the dead bodies and bones of the twisted monsters everywhere.
‘Did you starve to death after being paralyzed by helplessness · ·. ’
helplessness, devastation, loss of morale, annoyance.
The boundary area could be organized with these keywords.
In other words, it was related to ‘Natai’.
‘If it is certain that there is a sinful place here · · · I think there will be a sign of Natai. ’
Sang-woo thought that the energy emanating from the symbols of Natai was rendering the surrounding area powerless.
‘Let’s go where the energy of this barrier grows stronger, No. 2. ’
In the same way that he had discovered the symbol of exploration, he led Issue 2 to a place where the feeling of helplessness became stronger.
Two blew away like the wind.
The region’s sense of powerlessness couldn’t help but self-immolate.
Tak, Tak, Thaad
Maybe Windwalk is causing the alter ego to move much faster than last time. Or is it because the boundaries here are weaker than the symbols of exploration?
Soon, Issue 2 was able to reach the source of the culmination.
It was a monster.
What is this? Sloth? ’
It was clear what a sloth looked like a few times on TV.
However, it was about 5 to 6 meters in size.
Leather was smooth and hard looking, not fur.
He was lying on the ground without even moving.
“Is this a symbol of nathan? Or an animal that carries the symbol of Natai. ’
Sang-woo’s judgment was correct.
Monsters that looked like sloth looked like armor sloths that appeared frequently around here, but held the symbol of the sloth.
Sang-woo made No. 2 look around the armored sloth for a while.
‘Well, the energy feels strongest from the sloth. If so · · ·. ’
When he had finished his thought, Sang-woo ordered No. 2 to use his maximum skill, Hurricane Tunnel.
Then the wind blows from the sword of Issue 2 with a green aura.
Shoot him.
Guava light!
At the same time, a gust of gust bounces off the body of the sloth.
The bounced gust was even bigger than before, but it was directly against the body of Issue 2.
Heave-ho!
It happened too fast, so the second boat did nothing and was bounced off the wind.
Sang-wook wakes up feeling a tremendous amount of pain as his body is torn apart.
“Huff!”
“Are you all right?”
What’s the matter, pupil?
Sang-woo, who was briefly unconscious, was able to recover his mind.
What was that? ’
Sang-woo was dumbstruck.
I didn’t think I’d be summoned back to slaughter a sloth.
He explained to his masters and guides that he had been busy.
His grandson heard the monster’s appearance and said as if he knew something.
“Oh, that looks like a sloth. ”
“Looking at armor logs?”
“Yeah, it’s a little aggressive, but it’s really hard to deal with because it’s so tough. ”
And when Raven heard that he had been beaten by a sloth, he stroked his chin.
Well, I attacked the sloth, but I was beaten. The damage reflection series is suspicious.
“Damage reflexes? Is that theoretically possible? ”
When I think about the laws of physics, it was ridiculous.
There’s only so much Mana can do that we don’t know. It’s not like there’s no damage reflection. I’ve met similar monsters before.
“How did you deal with it? ”
I just cut it off with more strength.
“ · · · · · ·. ”
Sang-woo sighed.
‘That’s not helping. ’
However, I could not give up in a situation where the symbol of Natai was almost certain. ‘I think the symbol of Natai can be a broad debuff. · · I’m sure you have great abilities, but I can’t give up. ’
Sang-woo decided to go back into the loop.
This time it was Stage 3.
11, 12, 13. Let’s just go where the second one went. ’
The identities protrude forward, fearful of command.
When I arrived, I was returning to the way I had gone.
Sang-woo turned off his family skills because he didn’t like feeling powerless.
You have arrived.
However, Sang-woo, who received a report of the messenger skill that the identity had arrived, used the family skill on issue 12.
A sense of resilience that has been restored.
Soon, I saw the armor of the sloth.
Thirteen, go a little farther and use the storm. And if it bounces off, you can avoid it. ’
In his command, Number 13 used a blast tornado far away.
Shoot him.
A whirl of error strikes the armored slope.
Then, it bounced off as expected.
That was the direction of issue 13.
13 was prepared to do it as Sang-woo ordered, so it was easy this time.
‘That’s a real damage reflection line. ’
As Raven said, you are facing a damage reflection.
‘Maybe I should stab him slowly with an error blade. ’
Sang-woo made No. 13 stab a sloth with a blade to come.
Kaga River
There were no scratches on the armor sloth.
Rather, the blade was dangerous because it was about to bounce off the body of No. 13.
‘No, how do I cut this? ’
Sang-woo SOS Raven.
“Master, if Blade can’t get through, how do I kill him? ”
The error blade doesn’t work.
Raven ponders for a moment, then opens his mouth.
Where is the monster, pupil?
“Going in person · · ·? ”
I have a skill that I can slaughter for some reason, but this is short range. I’ll have to go myself.
“Well, I’ll take you to number four. ”
Raven follows the 4 into the boundary area.
‘That’s a bad feeling. ’
An enormous sense of devastation caught up with Raven.
Raven raises a shield to come around his body.
It was a kind of self-defense machine.
When I stopped the surrounding energy from approaching with my error, I felt better.
This energy is consuming. Hurry up, pupil.
“Yes.”
The 4, who was in charge of the guide, was afraid of falling the horse, began to move quickly. Raven followed right after.
Immediately, an armored sloth appeared.
‘That’s it.’
Raven shines an eye.
He lands on the ground without delay, preparing for an attack.
It’s because Mana was consumed while maintaining S.H.I.E.L.D.
I’ll cut it right off.
“Yes, Master. ”
He picks up his sword in his left hand and starts collecting energy with his right hand.
The technology that he wanted to use now had to concentrate on everything.
Wieieieing
The sword in the sword resonates.
And then…
[Space Charm]
Raven’s sword splits the limb of the armor scabbard into space.
Saaaak
At the same time, Raven felt something was wrong.
At the same time as the body of the armored sloth was torn apart, a huge energy bounced off of it.
‘Oops · · ·. ’
The delay that triggered the chamber was such that the body couldn’t react quickly for a moment.
Situation that will conflict at this rate.
It was then.
Aaaaah!
The bloodstream spreads.
The immigrants next to you were struck by a bouncing attack.
However, even though the power was great and the self-immolation was blocked, three stages of the self-immolation were quickly recalled.
Luckily, with that gap, Raven was able to pull back.
Even the blood stains on Raven’s face disappeared from the summoned self-immolation.
“Master, are you all right? ”
The remaining alter ego, Issue 4, worriedly asked.
Raven nods.
I’m fine. Thanks for stopping me.
“No. Just in case, I was surprised by the real damage reflexes. ”
Sang-woo, who was watching through issue 4, wiped out his surprised heart.
‘Dangerous. But we did manage to get rid of the Armor Sloth. Now, let’s find the symbol of Natai. ’
Sang-woo moved in Issue 4 to search for a half-cut corpse.
Then, there was a black bead embedded in the trunk of the body.
‘Found it.’
Sang-woo made No. 4 pick up the bead.
And then…
[System unregistered object found.]
[System error.]
[Error code XYAS212FL · · · TIOF.]
[Identify unidentified object.]
[Identifying · · · ·.] [Identifying · · · ·.]
[Identification · · · ·.]
I remembered a system message.
‘It’s the same as before. ’
It was the same message when you got the symbol of exploration.
The black orb scatters like smoke and winds up in Issue 4.
Suzus
Then the energy began to absorb into the body of Issue 4.
At the same time, as when the symbol of exploration was obtained, the pain that seemed to break each cell of the body occurred in the body of issue 4.
“Eww · ·. ”
You twist your body in pain and have a seizure.
His grandson who was next to him was embarrassed.
“Sang-woo, are you okay? ”
“Khhh, shh, it’s okay. ”
Sang-woo came close to finishing his family skills and replied.
I was relieved of my pain, but I was distracted.
Seeing Sang-woo like that, his hands trembled.
What the hell is going on? ’
In the meantime, issue 4 was still changing.
All stats increased by 4.44.
Wood Duck
The muscle bone has become stronger.
And finally.
[· · · · · ·.]
[Identifying · · · ·.]
[Identification complete.]
[You obtained the ‘Symbol of Natai’.]
[A note identifies the user.]
[An error occurred. Unable to verify user.]
[[An error occurred. · · · · · · · · · · · · to see you.]
[Force install in progress · · ·.]
[Installation is complete.]
I was able to obtain the symbol of Natai.
The body of issue 4 had changed dramatically.
On the right side of the plaque was a fog-shaped tattoo with ice crystals, and on the back was a tattoo of the looking bear’s face.
And the energy of Natai was completely positioned on the side where the liver was located among the internal organs.
[Your Family Skill level has increased.]
[You have leveled up your self-reinforcing skills.]
[Renaissance skill has been updated.]
[Natai’s identity has been created.]
[You have increased the level of your Necromancy skills.]
It wasn’t until Sang-woo grew explosively as he had obtained the symbol of exploration that Sang-woo was able to find rest.
Sang-woo opened the skill window to relieve himself of pain.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
‘I have.’
The identity of the tattoo was created with a special identity.
Sang-woo immediately examined the details.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
Sloth, the Naked Self-Substantiation
This is a self-immolation.
We can use the power of “Natai” to neutralize everything.
The more you hold still, the higher your stats will increase.
The more you stay still, the more energy you accumulate.
Counter Attack can be triggered with accumulated Energy.
Enable the egest field.

“Even if you do nothing, your stats will increase?” ’
Moreover, Sang-woo’s ability to reflex the damage he suffered also seemed to have the name ‘Counter Attack’.
And that’s where it seems to have paralyzed the perimeter to the Exquisite Field.
‘It’s really good. Bullshit.’
Who doesn’t like being strong?
Sang-woo who grew up again became satisfied.
‘But is he as weird as Gluttney? ’
When I shared my senses with him, his enormous hunger plagued him.
Somehow, Sloan’s self-immolation seemed similar.
‘Yes, let’s have a look at what it feels like. ’
So Sang-woo used a family skill on Issue 4, or Sloth.
It was entirely out of curiosity.
Immediately, his helplessness, exhaustion, and fatigue caught up with him.
At the same time, what was visible to Sloth was the forest and sky in the jungle.
Sloth was lying on the floor one day.
‘· · · Sleepy. Oh, you can’t do this. Release.’
Sang-woo ended his Family Skill close by.
‘If I synchronize with him, I’ll fall asleep forever. I have to be careful.’
Sang-woo woke up from his seat and patted his butt.
“Guides, it’s over. Shall we go?”
“Yes? But what about the consequences? ”
“It’s okay now. ”
After a brief check, Sang-woo takes his hands and the rest of the body straight to Raven’s place.
As the symbol of Natai was recovered, the boundary area disappeared, so there was no difficulty in moving.
“The boundary is gone. Sang-woo, what’s going on? ”
“Haha, Master destroyed the nucleus of the barrier. ”
“Nuclear?”
“You just have to know that. ”
Sang-woo, who was a little overgrown.
It won’t take long now, so you can quickly meet Raven.
He sits on the carcass of an armored sloth and waits. “Master, you’ve done well. ”
It was nothing. What’s with that alter ego, by the way?
Raven points at the sloth lying on the floor.
Sang-woo consciously replied using a messenger skill.
That’s because it’s now a symbol of Natai.
Hmm, that’s odd.
Yeah, I know.
Sang-woo, who has solved the master’s curiosity, leads the group directly.
“Shall we go? Let’s get out of the dungeon and go eat something delicious. I’m hungry.”
Good. Let’s go, pupil.
“Yes, Guidance, I need some guidance. ”
“Very well. I’ll show you the way out. Follow me.”
His hand turned around and walked ahead.
She smiles in repentance.
‘You’re finally on your way. ’
She’s supposed to lead Sang-woo’s group somewhere other than the exit.
