※A Gomi and Octopus Creature.
※Grew stronger by consuming 23 Hunters.
※Can only acquire a single skill.
[Through the effects of the skill 「Sword King’s Intuition [A]」 and 「Dragon Emperor’s Heir [S]」, Analysis was successful.]
[Acquired 500 AP.]
Dohyun felt curiosity bloom before panic at the sight of a status window he’d never seen before. Until now, the status windows of monsters had appeared far cruder, but this one was considerably different—perhaps because this was a Creature.
Since I could only acquire a single skill, I swiftly learned Malleability.
Though some AP was consumed, I had already gained 500 AP, so the cost was negligible. The moment I acquired Malleability, I felt my entire body become supple, and I couldn’t help but grin.
While moving without bones like a true cephalopod would have been difficult, I could feel my frame bend with newfound elasticity while my skeleton remained firm.
Upon realizing I could simultaneously deactivate this effect, I found myself amused by this intriguing skill and smiled at the Gomi Creature. The creature, taking my smile as mockery, bristled with indignation and lunged forward.
The Gomi Creature’s vision narrowed in its fury. The instant it reached my face, it failed to notice two attacks hurtling toward it.
One was Hanalin’s pristine white net of magic filling the right flank, and the other was Jiyuchan’s sword strike wrapped in golden and platinum light.
The pristine white net reached the Gomi Creature first, and just before its claws could extend toward me, the net ensnared the creature and froze solid along with the air itself.
Kwasasasasa———
As rapid freezing took hold, the Gomi Creature turned pure white in an instant. Though its momentum carried it toward me, Jiyuchan’s golden and platinum lights were faster still.
The two luminous streaks intertwined like lightning and shot forth, severing the arm the Gomi Creature had extended toward me.
Screeeee———!
The sharp ring of metal echoed out, and as the creature’s arm fell away, the rapid freeze shattered. The Gomi Creature immediately deployed a smoke screen to escape and used Concealed Movement to slip away from the location.
Whoosh!
The Gomi Creature vanished from sight as if teleporting, and realizing it was outmatched against the Dohyun Party, it threw its body forward in desperate flight. But as the water behind it suddenly pushed against its back, it sensed something approaching and spun around, only to find me standing there.
Upon seeing me appear behind it through Secret Teleportation, the Gomi Creature felt its camouflage, concealed movement, and smoke screen still in effect. In that moment, it understood.
There was no escaping from here.
Realizing it couldn’t break free from me, it rapidly turned its mind to other options.
Rather than thinking or devising a strategy, the Gomi Creature literally led with its razor-sharp teeth, rotating its head and body together as it charged at me like a drill.
Shreeeeeeeeek———
As I quickly raised my sword to face the Gomi Creature diving down like a spinning drill, its teeth came at my blade with the force of a saw, threatening to grind it away. Fierce sparks erupted, and my eyes widened with intrigue.
Clangangangangang———
Watching my blade gradually wear away as it carved through steel, I stared at the Gomi Creature in disbelief.
I was quite surprised that it could launch such an attack with nothing but sharp teeth and no proper skill, but that was enough. As the Gomi Creature spun its teeth like a drill, attempting to pierce through my sword and then through me, a sharp blade of water fell down across its neck.
Kwaaang——
A massive shockwave erupted, and the Gomi Creature charging at me crashed to the ground with added rotational force. As I swung my sword at the Gomi Creature, it moved like a mollusk, trying to slip away gracefully, but my arm began to bend like a mollusk as well.
Watching my arm and sword come at it like a snake—flexible, swift, and sharp—the Gomi Creature’s eyes widened.
As if asking how I could use the same technique as it. But that shock soon turned to pain, and a long gash appeared on the Gomi Creature’s upper body.
Since considerable time had passed, the arm Jiyuchan severed from the Gomi Creature writhed before a new one sprouted, and the gash I inflicted also healed, but all three of us present could sense it.
The moment it regenerated, its magical energy had decreased significantly.
So I swung my sword at the Gomi Creature again, and when Jiyuchan arrived late and joined in, the Gomi Creature had no choice but to arch its back and roar.
“Gruaaaaaaah!”
It possessed intelligence but seemed unable to communicate, for as it let out a roar mixed with shrieks, four more arms sprouted from its back.
In an instant, the Gomi Creature now had six arms total, using three each to defend against Jiyuchan’s and my attacks. With the increased number of limbs, it could now block our attacks separately.
Clangangangangang——
Chazazazazazang——
Countless sparks flew as Jiyuchan and I were blocked by the Gomi Creature’s defense, but rather than growing impatient, we pressed forward even harder. In that moment, Hanalin’s attack formed above the Gomi Creature’s head.
Magic appeared without any warning, creating a pale yellow lightning bolt that descended toward the Gomi Creature, scattering yellow sparks around it.
This was the Seafloor. One misstep could have electrocuted both Jiyuchan and me, but thanks to Hanalin’s divine mana control, she handled each lightning bolt delicately, creating thin needle-like lightning that fell toward the Gomi Creature’s head.
Kwurrrrung———!!!
Though the lightning was thin and delicate, lightning was still lightning.
It tore through the Midair and unleashed thunder, and as the thin bolt descended, the surroundings flickered with light as the lightning struck the Gomi Creature.
Yet even in that moment, the Gomi Creature twisted its head to avoid a direct hit to its skull. The lightning embedded itself in the Gomi Creature’s shoulder, and in an instant, Jiyuchan’s left side was pierced through, crumbling as if turned to charcoal.
With its entire left arm reduced to ash, only three arms remained before me, but in that moment, I sheathed my sword and drew out my spear, unleashing countless thrusts.
Like rain pouring from a blue spear, the strikes rained down upon the Gomi Creature.
Cheongmyeong Jichang Eighth Form: Cheongmyeong Rain
As countless uncountable thrusts poured forth, the Gomi Creature tried once more to block them with its three remaining arms. But no matter how many limbs it grew, it could not shield itself from rain falling from the sky, and like light rain soaking clothes, the thrusts pierced through the Gomi Creature’s body.
Fubububububuk———!!!
Countless thrusts pierced the Gomi Creature savagely, and golden flashes appeared again on its crumbled left side like a barrage of lightning. The Gomi Creature tried to regenerate by consuming its magical energy once more.
But in that moment, frost rays appeared before the Gomi Creature’s eyes once again, without any magical warning.
“Kaaa.”
The Gomi Creature could sense it in that freezing moment.
From the left, a golden and platinum-gleaming sword swung, and from the opposite trajectory of that blade, a spear entwined with grayish-white and blue came flying. In the moment it hesitated over which to block, the spear and sword crossed.
As the spear and sword passed through the Gomi Creature’s neck like the blade of a guillotine, its head fell toward the Ground. Not a single drop of blood was spilled.
Even the Gomi Creature’s head, severed from its body, was frozen pure white, preventing even blood from flowing.
Shortly after the Gomi Creature’s neck was severed, I smiled as I gazed upon its corpse, and in that moment, I felt a substantial amount of points flowing into me.
[You have defeated a Creature and obtained the points it had absorbed.]
[Points are distributed according to Party Members’ contribution order.]
[You acquire a total of 290,421 Points.]
‘Oh.’
Even after distributing the points, a considerable amount flowed in, and I couldn’t help but be quite surprised. To earn this many points in a single day. I was feeling quite satisfied, wondering what kind of day this was, when an anomaly occurred.
The frozen corpse of the Gomi Creature, its neck severed, began to writhe and then started moving again.
Had it come back to life? No, that couldn’t be. Hadn’t I confirmed the Analysis message stating it was dead and received the points? So there was no way it could have revived.
As I looked at the Gomi Creature with confusion, its corpse vanished, and traces of the Hunters it had devoured scattered everywhere.
No flesh or complete bodies emerged, but torn equipment, clothing, and shattered bones were strewn about the surroundings.
“Is this everything that creature ate?”
“Quite a lot.”
“It consumed so much.”
Hanalin spoke thus and frowned, and Jiyuchan was no different. I too furrowed my brow deeply, but not for the same reason—I was lamenting the torn and broken items.
It was unfortunate what happened to the Hunters, but still, I couldn’t help but feel regret that if we’d defeated the creature, we could have had intact equipment.
Thinking there was nothing I could do about it, I stood up from my spot and tilted my head in confusion at the Hunters rapidly approaching from quite a distance away.
Then, setting aside why they were running toward this place, I felt an unusual aura and looked in that direction, and from far away I could see the status window of the other party.

‘Guinjok?’
Wondering why the Guinjok were coming here, I tilted my head, and the one leading at the front, commanding other Guinjok from far away, shouted.
“Blood vengeance!!!”
Watching Gobari Hontsu, I scratched my cheek and spoke.
“It seems I’ve been gravely misunderstood about something?”
