Chapter 35. Another Mythic-Grade Unique Ability
〚Due to rapid growth, proficiency in Authority: Golden Tower increases by 30%!〛
〚50 additional advanced items can now be extracted!〛
〚The grade of extractable advanced items is upgraded to S-rank!〛
The saying that the world looks different truly resonates with me now. Everything has changed because of a single rank increase in my Infinite stat.
From the subtle—my vision appearing slightly elevated due to my increased height from bone restructuring and rebirth—to the vitality coursing through my entire body. From the profound—my senses now perceiving even the minutest details—to my body moving with fluid grace according to my will.
Brimming with this sense of fulfillment, I immediately opened my status window to visually confirm the changes.
〚Unique Ability: Infinite Heavenly Meridian
Grade: Mythic
Rank: EX
LV 2 (0%)
Description: A body containing the Infinite—meaning boundless—and the martial extreme that discusses the ultimate of nothingness.
Abilities
-Generates Infinite [Mythic] stat
-Elevates the grade of all martial-related abilities by one tier (excluding Infinite Heavenly Meridian)
-Opens LV 3〛
〚Skill: Gentleness Overcomes Strength [Unique-SS+] evolves by the influence of Unique Ability: Infinite Heavenly Meridian!〛
〚Skill: Water Flow Transformation [Narrative-SS+] has evolved!〛
The Infinite Heavenly Meridian at LV 2 demonstrated absurdly broken efficiency once again. It elevated not merely the rank, but the very grade itself!
Unfortunately, I currently possess only one martial-related ability—Gentleness Overcomes Strength—so I can only enjoy a single effect for now. But there’s no doubt this will become tremendously efficient down the line.
I examine the detailed information of the evolved skill and smile.
Water Flow Transformation, true to its name of transforming into flowing water, was the superior version of Gentleness Overcomes Strength.
At LV 1, it possessed only two abilities. The first was identical to Gentleness Overcomes Strength—redirecting all attacks wherever I desired. The second was an ability that evaded attacks with a certain probability.
I instinctively felt the concept of deflection and wanted to adapt to this transformed body and engage in combat immediately, but approximately thirty minutes remained until the next wave.
“Come to think of it, with The Sun stat also rising alongside the Colossus Heart, the authority level increased as well, didn’t it?”
Feeling the incomparably greater solar mana within my body compared to before, I immediately checked the next ability.
〚Authority: Noonday Sun
Grade: Origin
Rank: Origin
LV 2 (0%)
Description: The power of the sun standing at the highest point with utmost magnificence. An absolute symbol and force that gazes down upon all things from above all things and governs all things.
Abilities:
-Stat: The Sun [Mythic] blooms
-Absolute immunity to fire attribute
-Extreme affinity with fire attribute
-Generates Unique Ability: Solar Eye
-Opens LV 3〛
“A new unique ability is generated?”
Is this truly the representative authority of the Divine King who once ruled and governed an entire world? I immediately retrieved a mirror item from my subspace and gazed at my reflection. Somehow, my left iris had turned crimson red, as if it had become the sun itself.
〚Unique Ability: Solar Eye
Grade: Mythic
Rank: EX+
LV 1
Description: An eye imbued with the power of The Sun—that which observes and governs all things from above all things.
Abilities
-Observe information about all things within range.
-After channeling mana, direct eye contact with a target grants a random status ailment with probability.
-LV 2 Unlocked〛
“This is insane!!!”
I couldn’t help myself—I leaped from my seat, cursing loudly into the air. No, this was entirely justified. The fact that I hadn’t been bouncing around on both feet was a miracle of restraint.
“What’s wrong?! Did something go wrong?”
“…Are you okay…?”
The two who had jolted awake at my outburst, immediately on guard, received a hasty wave dismissing their concerns. I swallowed hard and examined my unique ability.
“I’ve obtained another Mythic-grade unique ability.”
And one equipped with an appraisal ability, no less. Honestly, appraisal was desperately needed, and I had planned to learn it as one of my spell incantations. Yet here it was, falling into my lap like this!
I forced down a smile so the two could return to their rest.
I turned my burning left eye toward the divine artifact hovering above my head. At last, I could see the precise information about the artifact I’d been so curious about through my own eyes.
〚Item: The Sun’s Most Exalted Eye
Grade: Mythic
Rank: EX
LV 1(7%)
Description: Once the symbol and authority of a god who created and ruled an entire dimension, it has now been transferred to a new Sun and returned to its primordial form.
Abilities
-The divine artifact possesses levels and grows.
-All Stats Fixed +20
-Constantly absorbs ambient heat to recover health and mana.
-LV 2 Unlocked〛
Is this what it means to be a Mythic-grade item? An artifact that possesses levels and grows like a living thing.
Ra’s words about growing together with me—now I understood what he meant. I turned my gaze back with satisfaction.
〚Time Remaining Until Third Wave: 00:27:13〛
With so little time before the next wave, I quietly rose and began moving about, adapting to my suddenly transformed body.
Before long, the sound of Hunters rushing madly from the far end of the Corridor echoed toward us.
***
Crack! Crack!
No matter how much my stat grades had risen or what oxidation-tier abilities I’d gained, I still couldn’t overcome the overwhelming and destructive power of the Mandible Beasts. The crushing force of their massive jaws was something even ordinary C-rank Hunters struggled to withstand, and their colossal bodies granted them an insurmountable physical advantage.
That said, it wasn’t that I couldn’t win. Rather, despite the physical limitations and stat disparities, I overwhelmed them.
All the Mandible Beasts possessed was a single overwhelming force that transcended rank and grade—but my Fluid Form skill had completely sealed that power away.
One by one, I slipped past their relentless attacks and methodically exploited their weaknesses to eliminate them. Having lived my entire life as the weak, I’d become an expert at hunting monsters stronger than myself—this approach was second nature to me. Sure, if I were a Mandible Beast, I’d find such tactics despicably cowardly, but when survival was on the line, I had no room for such scruples.
Eventually, after losing more than half their numbers, the remaining beasts surrounded me and attempted a coordinated assault—but my Fluid Form blocked them, forcing them to strike each other instead, leading to their own mutual destruction.
The third wave brought fifteen common Mandible Beasts and one elite. Honestly, it was overwhelming. The difference was that I wasn’t alone anymore—I had someone I absolutely had to protect.
“…Ugh!!”
There was another problem. No matter how quickly I dispatched the Mandible Beasts, I didn’t have the ability to slaughter them all at once, so it inevitably took time.
As a result, Gun-dan had to hold back the remaining Mandible Beasts alone. Even though Gun-dan had received the Saint’s blessing exclusively and awakened his unique ability beyond its limits, his lack of real combat experience and skill mastery meant he ultimately couldn’t endure—he took serious wounds.
“Damn it!”
“Potions! Do you have any potions? My healing alone can’t treat all these wounds!”
I grimaced at the two holes piercing through Gun-dan’s upper body, then frantically pulled out a stack of common-grade potions from my inventory and poured them over the wounds.
Sizzle!
Smoke rose as the wounds disinfected and began to heal. Common-grade potions couldn’t provide instant recovery, and deep wounds remained beyond their healing capacity, but fortunately they were sufficient to support the Saint’s healing magic.
Once the wounds piercing through Gun-dan’s shoulder and abdomen were completely healed, the Saint exhaled roughly and collapsed onto the ground as if her legs had given out.
“…I’m…sorry… If only…I’d held out…better…”
“You did your best. That’s more than enough. This dungeon was never meant to be cleared by a complete novice without real combat experience or proper mastery of their unique ability.”
Well, Gun-dan possessed the insane potential to eventually grow into an SS-rank Hunter, so he could only endure this much because of that. In the first place, this wasn’t a difficulty that could be cleared by just one F-rank, one E-rank, and one D-rank support Hunter while protecting a patient.
‘Even a veteran raid party composed of D to C-rank Hunters wouldn’t find this easy to clear.’
The problem was an ominous premonition that something was deeply wrong gnawed at my nerves. If this was caused by Misfortune, was this really all it had prepared?
No, I was certain of it. While difficult, it wasn’t impossible—which meant the moves Misfortune had prepared wouldn’t end here. That thought wouldn’t leave my mind.
‘I need to move. I have to finish this before the next wave arrives.’
As I piled the Mandible Beast corpses to one side of the cavern, I gritted my teeth and forced away the worst-case scenarios from my mind.
‘I will definitely clear this.’
One more day remained until the next wave. I threw myself back into the Corridor, leaving the two people behind as they steeled their resolve as if prepared for death itself.
***
Deep within the Mandible Beasts’ cavern—a place granted only to one among hundreds of them. Countless Mandible Beasts gathered in that sacred space.
-Screeeee!!
When the Queen, their ruler, shrieked, all the Mandible Beasts bowed their heads. They trembled and prostrated themselves before her fury.
The Queen’s command to them was singular: find and destroy the egg designated as the next Queen!
It was a command that would completely destroy their entire ecosystem, yet for some reason, they obeyed. As if it were only natural that they should.
However, considerable time had passed since the Queen issued her command with no results, and when she learned that an intruder had invaded their home and killed four elite soldiers, her rage intensified further.
-Screeeee!
Thus the Queen commanded: release all common Mandible Beasts! Release them and find the next Queen’s egg—destroy it!
-Screeeee!!
The Mandible Beasts bowed and obeyed, and over a hundred of them began to spread throughout the cavern.
