Chapter 293
293. Loss
dementia.
Acquired cognitive impairment due to brain damage.
To put it simply, it’s ‘dementia’.
[You absorbed the essence of God and made it your own.]
[This skill was derived from your essence]
[It is only your own skill.]
First of all, such a grandiose message appeared.
To sum it up, it means that it is a skill exclusive to Kang Seung-hyun.
‘It’s definitely not a skill that an ordinary healer would have…’
Dementia A disease that shatters everything that makes a person human.
Judging from the fact that the skill derived from his own essence was given such a name, it seems that Sang-chang also does not think of Kang Seung-hyun as an ordinary healer.
‘It’s a skill that can be understood because it’s a really wild healer.’
Kang Seung-hyun checked the skill window with a calm face.
True to the name of the special skill, it definitely felt different from the normal skill.
[Dementia][Lv.1]
ㄴ[Sense of loss]
-[Unlocked when reaching Lv.2]
ㄴ[Lethargic]
-[Unlocked when reaching Lv.3]
ㄴ[Oblivion]
‘Isn’t it a level system?’
Like disbelief stats, Dementia had a level system applied.
It’s not that there aren’t any skills with a level system, but they’re quite rare in the Azul Continent.
[The skill level goes up as the skill proficiency goes up.]
[A new ability is unlocked every time the skill level goes up.]
In fact, only the skill names of [Lethargy] and [Oblivion] could be checked, and the specific abilities could not be seen.
‘What I can write now is [Sense of loss].’
Seunghyun Kang confirmed the information of [Sense of Loss].
As you can tell just by looking at the name, it was an emotional aura type skill like [Awe] or [Intimidation].
[Sense of Loss]
-[Spreads a colorless aura when activated.]
-[The target touched by the aura suffers mental damage over time.] -[
When the attack hits the target touched by the aura, the attack power is weakened with a certain probability.]
-[Exception You can designate the target.]
-[If you have this skill, other aura effects are ignored.] The effect of the
‘…’
skill was beyond imagination.
‘Like [Awe], a debuff that inflicts mental damage over time and weakens the attack power with additional attacks.’
As the name suggests, [Sense of Loss] is a skill that makes you lose your mental and physical strength.
‘And the most important thing is…’
Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes skimmed over the last line of the [Sense of loss] explanation.
-[If you have this skill, other aura effects are ignored.]
‘Isn’t this a complete scam?’
In other words, Kang Seung-hyun can now ignore powerful and annoying skills like [Intimidation] and [Awe].
‘Especially, [Awe] is one of the skills that represent divine beings, so I can openly ignore it.’
A skill that actually lowers Godhead.
If the gods of Azul Continent knew about this skill, wouldn’t it make all sorts of fuss?
‘…If the 1st level skill is this good, the next level skill is no joke.’
Indeed, it is a reward for achieving an impossible feat that ordinary humans cannot achieve.
[Be careful.]
[Those who want to covet your power will appear soon.]
At that moment, a message appeared on the status window.
“Anyone who covets power?”
[The essence of God cannot be touched by humans]
[The essence of humans can be touched by humans.]
In short, just as Kang Seung-hyun took the essence from Simua Rise, if other humans defeat Kang Seung-hyun, they can take the essence and change it into their own power. it sounds like there is
[Not only divine beings but also other human beings]
[If they realize your essence]
[They will aim for them and attack them.]
Few people know about Kang Seung-hyun’s true nature yet, but the divine being notices it and informs his apostles or Or, astute people will attack you for the secrets of power.
To be honest, I might be scared at this point, but
“That sounds like fun, right?”
Rather than being frightened, Kang Seung-hyun smiled and nodded.
Because he was that kind of person.
“It’s good. It has to be that much to be worthwhile.”
To defeat humans who rush to take away their power with their own power.
Just imagining it is fun and heartbreaking.
[It’s the same.]
After that message, no other message came.
‘Hmm…’
I thought about it before, but there were often messages that felt like they were sent by someone other than the manager.
‘The tone and reaction are obviously similar.’
Should I say that I can feel humanity in the timing and response?
It was a somewhat strange message.
‘Because not all messages in the status window are sent by the manager.’
99% of the status window messages that actually come in are nothing more than issuance by a system without personality according to the procedure.
So will this message.
‘By the way, the level rises only when you increase your skill proficiency…’
Kang Seung-hyeon activated [Sense of Loss].
[Dementia – Sense of loss]
Hwaaaaagh!
A cool sensation spread around, as if a colorless and odorless fog was covering all sides.
[Feeling like you’ve lost something.]
[Your mental strength is slowly declining.]
“Uh… What is it?”
Lee Ji-ah, who was sipping alcohol and eating cheese next to her, saw the message and looked around with a startled face.
“What skill did you use? Or is it an enemy attack?”
Looking at the reaction, it seems that the [Sense of loss] effect worked, but the skill level did not go up.
‘I’m guessing it means it’s not going up just because it’s activated.’
Take [Fireball] as an example, not only creating a fireball, but also throwing it to hit the target.
‘I think the level will rise if I use [Sense of Loss] to subdue the opponent.’
The problem is that there is nothing to use right now.
Lee Ji-ah’s alter ego is weak, Seymua Rize has been destroyed, and all members of the Order have been wiped out for a long time.
‘Shall we have a fight with Kim Ho-jeong?’
Both a new skill test and skill training.
Isn’t it common for colleagues to strengthen friendship with fists?
‘But this side is too weak, so I don’t think I’ll be able to train my skills. I don’t know if it turns into a black beast.’
Of course, if I asked Kim Ho-jung to die for skill training, he would cry and die, but I thought that was too much, so I decided to quit.
‘There are other people on the island right now.
If rumors spread that a black beast lives on Bismar Island, Kang Seung-hyun’s party resort would be destroyed.
‘Sorry. I want to test it quickly.’
Kang Seung-hyun closed the status window with a sad face.
‘Ah, is there anyone who comes to pick a fight? I would have destroyed it horribly.’
Of course, there’s no way it would exist, and even if it did, there would be no idiot who would come to such a remote island.
smart.
Then a polite knock was heard outside.
“Healer Kang Seung-hyun!”
“What are you doing?”
When I opened the door, a passenger came running with an excited face.
“I found a magic orb for communication!”
“It looks like something used in the church.”
“If I use this, I think I can contact the Adventurers Guild, but what should I do?”
Originally, it was a terrible situation where you had to go by boat for 8 hours to reach Karon, report to the adventurer’s guild, and return to Bismar Island by boat for another 8 hours.
However, since I found the communication port, I don’t have to go all the way to the mainland, I just need to call the Adventurer’s Guild.
“It’s good. Please contact me right away.”
– “I report it. I just got a call from Bismar Island.”
“Bismar Island?”
“Write right now? If it’s not urgent, put it off.”
Adventurer’s Guild Charon Branch.
Due to the nature of the port city, various news and requests flocked, so the union staff were busy working without blinking their eyes.
“If it’s Bismar Island, then… isn’t it the home of some kind of church?”
“Was it the Seymua Rize Church?”
“That’s right, I can’t see those guys fort.”
Even though it was a new church, it was a group that made Charon noisy for a while, so the union staff remembered them.
“Last time I saw you, you were made fun of by Kang Seung-hyun and his gang.”
“Even if you get caught by the crab, why do you get caught by him?”
“I heard that friend turned the inside of the branch manager Li Wen.”
The Karon branch union employees were not unaware that Kang Seung-hyun and his gang had been arguing with the Simua Rize Church for the past week.
– Are these scammers still in business?
– Give me back my friend!
– From now on, this Mr. Alec will cooperate.
Of course, the Church went to complain to the Adventurer’s Guild, but
‘What can these people do!’
‘I can’t do business!’
‘sorry. It’s not really a problem, so what can we do…’
Anyway, the staff couldn’t stop it because Kang Seung-hyun and his gang didn’t break the law.
Because Kang Seung-hyun was basically a human being who legally caused accidents.
“So what happened?”
“Isn’t this a request to put a bounty on adventurer Kang Seung-hyun?”
“Well, since we suffered for a week, it deserves to be pissed off, but we should ask the crime guild instead of us.”
“Hey, you’re the youngest. What does the church say?”
“That’s it…”
The lowest-level employee who received the call hesitantly opened his mouth.
“The person I contacted is Kang Seung-hyun.”
“what?”
“Are you Kang Seung-hyun?”
Union employees opened their mouths in astonishment.
Of course, I thought it was the church’s complaint, but the person who contacted him was Kang Seung-hyun?
“Hey, is it the Church of Simua Rize?”
“yes. That’s right, I contacted you through that port.”
“Then you’re saying that Kang Seung-hyeon is at the base of the church? You’re using a church communication tool there?”
“…could he have converted?”
“So what is your reason for contacting me?”
“Ah, I will report the crimes committed by the cult, so send a team to investigate the case…”
“What?”
It’s surprising that the people who quarreled with the church are in the headquarters of the church, but will you report the crime?
I don’t know what the heck is going on, but one thing is for sure.
“Let’s go right now! It’s a great scoop!”
“I want to go! I want to go!”
“Uhh, senior first!”
Whatever it is, this is a must.
Employees instinctively saw this as an opportunity to significantly improve the branch’s performance and reputation.
bang!
“Calm down, motherfuckers!”
Shawheads, the Karon branch manager, hit the table.
Wooden tables were mercilessly smashed, papers were scattered everywhere, and employees had more work to do.
“I feel like I’m going to die of curiosity too, but now I need a hand. Our Niekafor branch called for reinforcements, so we sent the kids there.”
“Oh, I did…”
“Just ask for two days. Instead, tell them that I will join the investigation team and send the necessary items right away. Just do whatever they ask for.”
“All right.”
The Charon branch explained the situation through a communication channel.
Kang Seung-hyun was upset when he heard that it would take two days, but
{Ah, I’ll listen to everything you ask for?}
he soon accepted the offer with a bright smile.
Shawheads felt a chill at the moment, but endured it for the sake of the branch’s performance.
“Let’s start by finishing the report.”
“Maknae, go and buy some stamina potions according to the number of people.”
“I mix the stamina potion!”
“Yes yes!”
As always, the staff at the Karon branch ran errands for the lower-level staff and busily moved their hands again.
bruise bruise.
The terminal employee who came out of the union building looked around and went into the alley.
After waiting for a while, a group of people wearing hoods approached the lower level staff.
“Did you find out anything?”
“yes. Kang Seung-hyun is currently stationed on Bismar Island, and the Karon branch will send an investigation team in two days. So you will have to solve it in two days.”
“okay. Thank you, brother.”
“no. If it’s for Aiber-nim, that’s about this…”
The lower level employee blushed and prayed lightly before running to the potion shop.
“The arrogant pagan who brought the Magic Association to Hind Village… Did you hide in a place like that!”
“It’s good. I won’t have to notice anyone else.”
Yes.
They were members of the Church of Ayber, to be exact, members of the Church who were dispatched to Hind Village at Liwen’s instigation.
“I’m going to Bismar Island right away.”
“Let’s bury it with the island.”
