Chapter 276
276: Your Skills Are Incredible
* * *
Erebus Malum, the division commander of the Bultegor Upper Division and known as Agent No. 1. He was one of the quite important figures within the Divine Assassin Squad.
In the Draxion Dimension, there existed descendants of the Yongje called seeds of the Yongje, and just as other Yongin Clan dimensions had titles like Lord’s descendants and Family Head, the Divine Assassin Squad also had those called descendants of Sashin.
And one of them was Erebus Malum—he too was one of the descendants of Sashin.
Even by Dohyun’s Analysis, the number of Sashin’s descendants was an S-rank trait belonging to the higher end, but naturally, Dohyun couldn’t possibly know that yet.
This was one of the characteristics that Sashin possessed—it seemed he wanted to leave many successors so that someone to inherit his legacy could emerge, but understanding this was still a distant matter for Dohyun.
In any case, as Erebus lay on the ground writhing like a worm after being struck by the Clear Bright Meteor, he could feel it the moment Dohyun reached out his hand.
That his very essence was being stolen.
‘No, this can’t be!!!’
He screamed inwardly, but now he couldn’t even open his mouth.
Was it because Dohyun had intentionally mixed poison into the Clear Bright Meteor, something that shouldn’t have been mixed in originally? While suffering a fatal wound, he was being poisoned and dying, which made it all the worse.
And that was the moment.
‘Ah, ahhh.’
The outstretched hand of Dohyun standing before Erebus’s eyes overlapped with the greedy hand of the Knight King who stole everything, and at the same time, he felt the pain of his soul being torn away.
“Hack! Kugh! Ack!”
Erebus could only writhe on the ground, letting out groans and doing nothing else.
Simultaneously, brilliant light burst forth from around Dohyun, and Erebus could feel that Dohyun was greedily stealing his essence and doing something with it.
A part of his soul had been torn away, but was that torn fragment still connected somehow?
Or was it because his soul had been damaged and he was dying before death itself could claim him?
This time too, Erebus could see the entities behind Dohyun’s back.
They were merely faint silhouettes, but he could see a chimera—a jumbled mixture of all manner of monsters that could create anything at will—with hundreds of hands touching and manipulating something it had pulled from both Erebus’s soul and Dohyun’s inner world.
Had he gone mad on the brink of death?
Why could he see such illusions?
Such thoughts arose, but Erebus could not continue his thinking beyond that.
A woman with snow-white hair and skin as pale and lustrous as white jade looked at him in that moment, and when she gazed upon Erebus with transparent eyes that pierced through even the last of his remaining soul.
‘Ah.’
Erebus could feel it.
That everything of his was being taken to create something.
The White-Haired Woman saw through all of Erebus and handed it to the Monster mixed with all manner of things.
Several of the hundreds of hands received it and mixed it with what they were already blending.
Then.
‘That… that person is…?’
As his consciousness grew hazy, Erebus saw a faint silhouette born from the Monster’s hands and could think to himself.
Along with the thought that he might be witnessing something unprecedented, he stared blankly at the form while dying coldly, but in that moment alone he displayed superhuman endurance, trying to convey what he had just witnessed somewhere.
If he drew upon his remaining inner energy, it would lead to death, but he was going to die anyway if he remained like this.
Rather than that, leaving behind information before dying would be a useful death for the Divine Assassin Squad, and so Erebus tried to use his inner energy to separate his body and create a temporary spirit.
As an ancient spirit-human, Erebus could certainly accomplish such a technique.
He tried to sacrifice his very body to convey the message by any means necessary, but.
At that moment, as Dohyun’s aura surged and his tier temporarily elevated, the White-Haired Woman appeared once more and shook her head.
Then.
Fisssssssh….
‘This… can’t be….’
By the White-Haired Woman’s refusal, the spirit failed to manifest, and my inner energy and Erebus’s body crumbled away into nothingness.
What kind of ability did she possess to so effortlessly dismantle even another’s existence?
Erebus felt a sense of awe as he gazed upon Dohyun, who had perfected ‘her’—no, ‘that one’.
* * *
Meanwhile, rewinding time slightly to shortly after Erebus had been struck down by the Cerulean Meteor and collapsed.
The moment Dohyun saw the characters for 『Fusion』, countless messages flooded into his vision.
[『Usurped』 skill is being 『Fused』.]
[「Sashin’s Eyes [S]」, 「Sashin’s Descendant [S]」 are being 『Fused』.]
[Analyzing existing skills for deficiencies with 『Analysis』.]
[Consuming 10,000 AP to acquire the dagger technique skill from 『Erebus Malum』—「Formless Purgatory [S]」.]
[『Fusing』 the two existing skills with the newly acquired skill.]
[『Record』 is being added during the 『Fusion』 process.]
[A 『Record』 exists where 『Sashin』 is indirectly revealed.]
[Attempting 『Fusion』 with 『Majincheon』’s 『Record』.]
Simultaneously, transformation began within Dohyun’s inner world.
Sashin’s Eyes, which had never reached the Inner Mindscape before, encountered the newly born Sashin’s Descendant, and through the 『Record』 dwelling within, its form gradually became clearer.
Like other characteristics alongside 『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』 and 『Plague Lord』, it took on human form.
『Ruin’s Dragon Solvent』, bearing the complete form of a dragon.
『Plague Lord』, bearing the perfect form of a human.
And the form of 『Sashin』 manifesting this time was entirely different from the previous two.
‘…What race is this?’
I had seen it within the 『Record』, yet it didn’t appear to be a different race there, but here it looked distinctly different.
Like a shadow? No, more like slime? It resembled such a form.
While it bore human shape in substance, its surface rippled like liquid.
Just as I couldn’t discern what race it was, a voice reached Dohyun’s ears.
「Changeling.」
At that voice, Dohyun’s eyes widened in an instant.
Simultaneously, Dohyun became aware of information regarding the Changeling.
One of the Six Superior Races—the race of 『Sashin』, who once made the Divine Assassin Squad legendary—and the Changeling regarded 『Sashin』 as their greatest mistake, continuing to apologize for 『Sashin』 even now.
The moment vast information flooded into his mind.
Dohyun turned his head toward the source of the whisper at his ear, and in that instant, his eyes met those of a woman who could only be described as entirely white.
Feeling a sense of familiarity, Dohyun began to murmur as he looked at her.
Then.
「Shh.」
She brought her slender index finger to her lips and spoke thus.
Thinking of the woman who then vanished, Dohyun found himself with a bewildered expression, watching something with white hair sitting quietly in the Central Library of Inner World.
‘What on earth is going on?’
I didn’t fully understand, but it was clear that I couldn’t know right now anyway. My rank was insufficient, my Transcendence wasn’t complete, and due to such limitations, there were things I simply couldn’t comprehend—so it was better to let it go.
Dohyun thought this way and gazed at the new family member being inscribed anew in his inner mindscape.
How much time had passed?
After what seemed like a relatively short span of time, Dohyun looked at the entity that had created all these forms.
Then.
[All existing skills have been Fused to acquire the new skill “Sashin (Death God) [SS]”.]
‘Wow.’
Along with the newly appeared text, Sashin attempted to seize control of Dohyun’s inner world, scattering the aura of death in all directions as if preparing a rebellion.
However, before Dohyun’s shock could even fade, the existing family members within his inner world, having perceived this, lifted their heads.
In particular, when Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, who had been sleeping, lifted its head, Sashin seemed to instinctively sense that something had gone wrong and felt flustered.
Moreover, when Plague Lord, Usurpation, and Fusion all stepped forward to glare at Sashin, it completely lost its will to fight—I could see Sashin awkwardly laughing, scratching the back of its head, and bowing respectfully to them.
Sashin, realizing that it and Plague Lord were the youngest among the characteristics and skills present here, immediately employed worldly wisdom.
However.
[Fusion, finding it amusing, extends its arms to twenty.]
[Usurpation, laughing, draws its sword.]
[Ruin’s Dragon Solvent expresses the anger it had been suppressing all this time toward Sashin.]
[Plague Lord retrieves the poison it had been experimenting with.]
[Sashin is seized with terror.]
What happened after that naturally unfolded in the expected sequence.
Watching the new family member Sashin receive a thorough education through classical and clichéd methods, Dohyun chuckled and then used Analysis to examine the knowledge flowing into his mind about what kind of power Sashin possessed.
Then, leaving the bickering ones behind, new text appeared.
[Due to Sashin’s influence, the rank of “Shadowless Dark Moon Severance [S]” has slightly risen to [S+] grade.]
Dohyun smiled with satisfaction upon seeing that text.
Then, looking at Erebus, who had been watching the entire process, he chuckled and spoke.
“Your skill was incredible.”
At Dohyun’s words, Erebus trembled and closed his eyes.
The poison that had been resisting while he was alive spread throughout Erebus’s entire body, and naturally, his corpse crumbled and disappeared.
It was quite a gruesome sight, but what did it matter?
Dohyun had already grown accustomed to this level of thing, and besides, the Divine Assassin Squad was already his enemy anyway. They had tried to kill Dohyun first, and the fact that they came all the way here meant they intended to do whatever it took to eliminate him—so keeping him alive would have been the foolish choice.
Dohyun thought this through and, loosening his body lightly, chuckled.
The various other things could also be placed into his magical pouch using Usurpation.
“Then shall we go see the others?”
Seeing that Ruin’s Dragon Solvent and Plague Lord were in his inner world, it seemed the mission had been completed and the clone technique had ended. When Dohyun rushed back to the Chamber in one breath, sure enough, they were already guarding the Elves. Just as Dohyun was about to ask something, Hanalin immediately opened her mouth.
“We’ve collected everything.”
“Oh!?”
Dohyun had only known Hanalin for a day or two, yet seeing her say they’d already collected everything the Elves possessed, he gave her a thumbs up, praising her work.
And Hezway added to Hanalin’s words.
“It would probably be best to interrogate them first before executing them.”
“Well, of course? They’ve seen our faces.”
Seeing Dohyun casually suggest killing the Elf, Hezway felt a moment of hesitation.
Killing was certainly the right call, but normally wouldn’t most people at least pause before resorting to that? Still, since it was Dohyun, he decided to let it slide.
It wasn’t that Dohyun seemed like a psychopath—rather, he was a wise young man, so Hezway chose not to dwell on it.
In any case, Hezway continued with his explanation.
“We could erase their memories, sure, but we have our limits. And since the Elves are linked together, they might be able to read even the erased memories anyway.”
“I agree we should interrogate them as thoroughly as possible.”
“Now I understand exactly why they’ve been targeting us.”
“Though most of it was already obvious anyway.”
It was just as Dohyun shrugged dismissively.
“Oh, that’s right. And we obtained this.”
Hanalin handed Dohyun a jingling pouch.
Dohyun took the pouch and, curious about its contents, opened it—and couldn’t help but break into a beaming smile.
Inside were exactly one hundred Heavenly Martial Alliance coins.
“Mission complete!”
With this, I could now create a new cultivation technique and teach it to both Jiyuchan and Hezway.
