Chapter 231
231: One Dohyun, Two Dohyun, Three Dohyun!?(1)
Three Dohyuns. The very concept was violent, and witnessing it firsthand, Hanalin and Jiyuchan felt their spirits rotting away.
Worse still.
‘Did they just use martial arts techniques? The clones?’
‘I saw it with my own two eyes—the clones use martial arts too.’
‘Then magic as well…?’
‘…They will.’
After exchanging glances, they reached a singular conclusion.
‘Sparring tripled!?’ ‘Training tripled!?’
What manner of hell was unfolding before them? Hanalin and Jiyuchan had indeed wished to grow stronger, but not like this. Who in their right mind had conceived this triple Dohyun event?
As they trembled at the ominous prospect, a thought suddenly struck them.
‘Wait?’
‘Hold on.’
They had been assuming that with Dohyun multiplied, their training and sparring would increase proportionally. But what if it were the opposite?
With Dohyun multiplied, wouldn’t the clones train and spar with each other instead? The moment this conclusion crystallized, Jiyuchan’s eyes sparkled, while Hanalin’s eyes grew vacant.
When Jiyuchan glanced at her questioningly, Hanalin’s eyes conveyed her meaning.
‘If the three Dohyuns fight each other, how utterly miserable will the lone Dohyun left behind be?’
‘…Ah! Dohyun’s loneliness!’
Jiyuchan too arrived at this profound realization, his eyes clouding over with grim understanding. Realizing they could never escape Dohyun’s quagmire regardless of what happened, they surrendered to acceptance.
Well, if there are three Dohyuns, at least they’d grow stronger quickly—that’s something, right?
While Hanalin and Jiyuchan communicated silently through glances beyond Dohyun’s hearing, the three little ones—the Mifu Tribe Trio—gazed upon Dohyun with genuine admiration, watching him employ the clone technique and have each clone execute different martial arts.
There was a reason for this, of course.
“Even the adults in our village can’t use the secret clone technique like that!”
“And each clone uses a different martial art!!!”
“He’s more amazing than the village adults!!!”
They had long since abandoned their pretense of formality, grinning widely at Dohyun and repeatedly giving double thumbs up while calling him the greatest—no exaggeration whatsoever.
The clone technique was, in essence, splitting oneself apart. One had to divide their very soul into two or three and manipulate all of them simultaneously. To become one while being three at once—how could anyone handle such a thing easily? Yet Dohyun had done it.
This was precisely why the Mifu Tribe Trio could not help but praise him as extraordinary.
Watching the children’s reactions, Dohyun asked with a somewhat bashful expression.
“Is that all?”
Having asked as if to gauge their assessment while showing embarrassment, he appeared in a new light, though the Mifu Tribe Trio remained unaware of this as they responded.
“Yes! The village adult who uses the clone technique said even one clone is their limit!”
“They said summoning more than one clone is really difficult!”
“Summoning two clones with the clone technique is truly amazing!”
“Is that so? Thank you.”
With all three speaking in unison, Dohyun smiled and thanked them while thinking to himself.
The clone technique itself certainly had considerable difficulty. The mana consumption was non-negligible, and it demanded significant mental fortitude to execute.
Even for me, without Analysis’s assistance, one clone would have been my limit. Had I not had Analysis’s help, honestly, I might have collapsed from dizziness.
At least, that’s how it is for now.
‘If I handle this a bit more, I feel like I’ll figure something out.’
The Clone Technique was rated A, after all. I’d suspected it wouldn’t be ordinary, but experiencing it firsthand confirmed it even more.
Moreover.
‘With this, I could even spar against myself?’
Normally it would be impossible, but for me, Dohyun, it’s possible.
Ordinarily, without multiple selves, it would be like playing chess alone, but I possessed five distinct consciousness-bearing traits: Analysis, Fusion, Usurpation, Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, and Plague Lord. If I transferred one clone’s consciousness to create a proper sparring partner, it could work quite well.
And through that process, I could feel which techniques I could utilize more effectively.
Once that thought crystallized, I grinned widely, thinking it was definitely workable.
And.
‘If I can create three clones, I can spar against myself while the remaining one spars with others!’
Having reached the worst training method that Hanalin and Jiyuchan had envisioned, I grinned wickedly, and sure enough, their eyes had gone lifeless.
At that moment, Analysis activated.
The text that appeared before my eyes.
[You Usurp the skill “Lava Breath [A]” from “Armored Tube Worm Ignid”.]
[You Fuse “Lava Breath [A]” with “Ruin’s Dragon Solvent”.]
[The grade of “Breath” in “Ruin’s Dragon Solvent” rises.]
[You acquire the grade of “Armored Tube Worm Ignid”.]
[“Vessel” absorbs the grade of “Armored Tube Worm Ignid”.]
‘Oho?’
Seeing this, I recalled when I’d absorbed Ocean Current Breath from Dreadnought before, which had liberated Breath. Unfortunately, I hadn’t used it then, but I figured I could try it next time.
Moreover, having acquired Lava Breath this time and even increased its grade, the power would definitely rise further, I thought with a smirk.
Noticing that I’d already conceived of the clone training method, I looked at Hanalin and Jiyuchan, whose eyes had gone dead, and figured they were probably anticipating the new training.
In any case, I’d finished all business here, so I spoke.
“Then shall we head back?”
Now that we’d defeated the boss and obtained the rewards, it was time to return and reorganize.
* * *
When the Dohyun Party returned to Baul, Chichi’s party was also able to return to Baul following us. Even without us, Chichi’s party could have returned alone, but we came back together since we were heading the same way.
Though they were a Superior Race party—the Mifu Tribe—all three possessed A-rank traits, and their stats were somewhat ambiguous, making them insufficient to belong to the Davy Jones Party.
So we decided to part ways here.
“Thank you so much for showing us such an amazing sight!!!”
“Let’s meet again next time!!!”
“We must meet again!!!”
Watching all three wave their hands excitedly, our party waved back to them. The Mifu Tribe Trio waved until we were out of sight, allowing us to quickly return to Hezway’s Building.
Perhaps because we’d already defeated two Area Bosses today, Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked quite exhausted as they slumped over the table in chairs placed in the Common Lounge.
“Phew, I’m pretty tired.”
“Tell me about it.”
Seeing the two wondering why they were so exhausted, I offered an explanation.
“It’s because it felt like babysitting.”
Though the Mifu Tribe Trio were cute, being young, the atmosphere had been rather rowdy and lively throughout, draining Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s energy.
“…Is that so?”
“Hmm, now that you mention it, it does feel like the day after a holiday.”
Hanalin didn’t quite understand what I meant, but Jiyuchan, apparently having many cousins, quickly grasped it and nodded.
Regardless, exhaustion wasn’t the priority right now! This was finally the moment to inspect our spoils—the reward time. As my eyes sparkled with anticipation, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan couldn’t resist either, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
Seeing their eager expressions, I immediately retrieved all the items that Ignid had dropped.
“Ohhhhh!!!”
“Wow!!!”
“Woooow!!!”
All three of us—myself, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan—gasped in admiration. I had pulled out four items! Considering the average was around three, this was another jackpot.
Among them was a blood-red elixir that appeared to be a spiritual potion, a helmet resembling a dragon’s skull like the one Ignid had been wearing, a ring that gleamed with a mixture of blood-red hues, and finally a manual. It was only natural that we all let out exclamations of wonder.
Of course, since I could appraise items, Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked to me. I picked up the manual first—the item I was least hopeful about—and asked.
“The manual first?”
“Yes!”
“Manuals are usually duds.”
Both Hanalin and Jiyuchan agreed that manuals had a high probability of being disappointing, and my Analysis ability went to work.
The result.
『Manual – “Geyser (C)”』
▶「A red stone tablet manual bearing unmistakable scorch marks, so hot to the touch with bare hands that it causes burns.」
▶「Inject mana and strike a weapon or your fist forcefully against the ground (or dense mana in midair), and after a brief delay, an ultra-high-pressure mana geyser erupts from the designated location.」
▶「It inflicts powerful burn damage on enemies while launching them high into the air, creating the perfect setup for party members to unleash devastating combination attacks.」
“Hmm.”
It was an ambiguous skill. The effects themselves were decent, but I, Hanalin, and even Jiyuchan could all accomplish similar effects without this skill.
So it wasn’t really worth learning.
And since it was C-rank, the skill had virtually no merit.
Though I wasn’t particularly curious, I decided to explain it anyway for Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who were watching with some interest.
“Basically, it’s a technique that creates a geyser using mana…”
“Not impressive.”
“Garbage.”
With both of them dismissing it so decisively, I moved on. After the manual, the next least interesting item was probably the elixir.
With Dreadnought, it was just an elixir that raised health by 5, wasn’t it? Of course, an elixir that raises health by 5 isn’t exactly common. It was good, certainly, but it felt somewhat lacking compared to other items. This time, I decided to check the elixir.
As I lifted the elixir and used Analysis, my eyes widened in surprise, and Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s curiosity was immediately piqued as they looked at me.
What kind of effect could possibly make me react like that?
『Ignid’s Seething Heart Fluid』
▶「The heart fluid of Ignid, a dragon-armored tube worm that boiled vigorously in the depths of the Mana Sea, crystallized into obsidian form as an elixir.」
▶「Upon consumption, a Hunter’s mana circuits are permanently expanded and strengthened to withstand extreme heat.」
▶「It prevents the physical strain that occurs when explosively drawing upon mana, and allows one to fully unleash a temporary mana overclocking state in emergencies.」
“Wow.”
This was nothing like the previous elixir—that one was barely worth turning into scraps.
An elixir that permanently expands and strengthens mana circuits to withstand heat, and even enables mana overclocking?
I swallowed hard at the sight of it.
Of course, with Analysis at my disposal, it wasn’t particularly useful for me.
By now, my mana circuits had expanded throughout my entire body thanks to Analysis, and they were reinforced better than anything else could be.
I didn’t know it yet, but this was only possible because I naturally possessed a large vessel, whereas others did not.
Especially not.
“It’s a spirit elixir that strengthens and expands mana circuits, and it allows you to temporarily withstand mana overload.”
At my explanation, Jiyuchan immediately understood and applauded Hanalin.
It was clearly hers no matter who looked at it. I turned to Hanalin and spoke directly.
“This one’s definitely yours, Narin.”
“Congratulations.”
When Jiyuchan also applauded and offered his congratulations, Hanalin spoke with a somewhat apologetic expression.
“…But still….”
Since Hanalin had received quite a bit up until now, it seemed to weigh on her, but I thought the item had turned out exceptionally well.
The first formula of the Celestial Sequence that Hanalin had obtained this time created a star, but its heat was so excessive that there were limits to how she could handle it.
However, if she consumed this spirit elixir, she could free herself considerably from that constraint. Both Jiyuchan and I already understood this fact well, which was why we offered our congratulations.
Despite this, when Hanalin continued to feel apologetic, Jiyuchan spoke up.
“I’ll take that helmet.”
