Chapter 76

 

Chapter 76: Enlightenment? (1)

 

Though he felt no headache or physical pain, Dohyun recognized that he had fainted and slowly opened his eyes to find himself looking at an unfamiliar ceiling.

 

Dangling and swaying back and forth with an uncomfortable ride—that unpleasant sensation gradually brought back feeling to his body, allowing him to understand his current situation.

 

‘Mmm.’

 

Still in the process of escaping the labyrinth, Jiyuchan was carrying Dohyun on his back as they passed through the narrow paths of the labyrinth.

 

Naturally, it wasn’t Jiyuchan but Hanalin who was guiding the way, looking at the map that Ihae-in had given them earlier.

 

Being sensitive to mana, she had no great difficulty reading the map and was handling it quite skillfully.

 

Though it was hard for her to guide as expertly as seasoned pathfinders like Dohyun or Jinhyeon Park, just being able to read and navigate put her in the top 10% among D-rank Hunters.

 

Watching the two working hard, Dohyun lightly stretched his body as if yawning.

 

Only then did Hanalin and Jiyuchan realize that Dohyun had awakened and react.

 

“Uuuugh.”

 

“You’re awake!?”

 

“Already!?”

 

Since Dohyun had fainted after killing Gallaclro and directly blocking the aftermath with his body, they thought he would be unconscious for days, but both were surprised when he woke up sooner than expected.

 

Meanwhile, Dohyun casually got up, naturally activated his analysis, and muttered.

 

The helpful analysis even told him how long he had been unconscious.

 

He really had only fainted briefly. Dohyun quickly examined his body.

 

Though his body still felt tired and strained, his wounds had apparently all healed since Guardian’s Body was turned off, while conversely his mana was running on empty.

 

This was also proof that he had been recovering until just moments ago.

 

Though his mana had dropped to the bottom, Dohyun wasn’t particularly worried and got down from Jiyuchan’s back.

 

As he lightly loosened up his body to shake off the stiffness, Hanalin approached and handed him some items.

 

“…?”

 

When Dohyun looked at Hanalin as if asking what this was, Hanalin chuckled and answered.

 

“You told us to collect the rewards, oppa.”

 

“Ah?”

 

“These dropped when we killed that guy.”

 

When Dohyun took the items Hanalin handed him, he couldn’t help but frown momentarily at finding only a massive scythe that Gallaclro had used and one manual.

 

It was disappointing that only these two items had dropped, but Dohyun wasn’t too dissatisfied as he looked at the message that appeared in the corner of his vision.

 

‘That guy really did kill over 130 people, so the points are incredible too.’

 

He could gain nearly 150,000 points.

 

It was an excessively large amount of points for killing just one villain.

 

Considering that killing the dwarf Talgrin, who was E-rank but from a race known for being wealthy, had given him 50,000 points, he could truly feel how many Hunters Gallaclro had killed.

 

Dohyun shook his head and looked at the remaining rewards—the scythe and manual—first checking the scythe he was reluctant to use.

 

Then.

 

Though it had quite a few effects attached, he didn’t feel particularly drawn to it or think it was good.

 

While the weapon not rusting, breaking, or dulling its cutting power was certainly an tremendous effect, using a scythe felt awkward.

 

Since Dohyun currently had a sword and dagger, he thought he didn’t particularly need it and decided to sell it later, putting it in his magic pouch.

 

Next was the manual, and Dohyun couldn’t help but stiffen slightly the moment he analyzed it.

 

Because it was none other than.

 

He felt disgusted the moment he saw it, but perhaps sensing Dohyun’s feelings?

 

The analysis quickly informed him.

 

‘Hmm.’

 

Though it was quite a long explanation, Dohyun could quickly grasp it with the heightened intuition he’d gained since acquiring analysis.

 

In short, collecting heads and using them as sacrifices like Gallaclro did was a personal preference—normally one would use magical power as payment to borrow power from another realm.

 

Seeing this, Dohyun thought it wasn’t particularly bad and took a look at Aesthetics of Sacrifice.

 

When Dohyun suddenly opened and began reading the manual, Hanalin and Jiyuchan watched him curiously, wondering what kind of manual would make Dohyun read it immediately.

 

Not minding that Hanalin and Jiyuchan were watching out of curiosity, Dohyun quickly read through the manual.

 

‘Oh ho?’

 

Magic that could be used by offering sacrifices so cleanly that cases requiring contracts with beings from other realms were negligible—he couldn’t help but be interested.

 

Moreover, he quite liked the aspect of temporarily raising the rank of skills he was currently using.

 

So this kind of black magic existed too.

 

After all, its rank was A-grade, the same level as Reverse Flow, Golden Sword, and Telekinetic Magic.

 

It should provide this much benefit.

 

Having confirmed even Aesthetics of Sacrifice, Dohyun naturally looked at the message that appeared.

 

Of course he would learn it.

 

Dohyun thus acquired Aesthetics of Sacrifice.

 

Naturally, it said he couldn’t use it at its original power, but he could tell that raising ranks itself was possible.

 

Still, seeing how Gallaclro had used it, Gallaclro also couldn’t use Body Modification up to B-rank but could temporarily raise it to A, allowing him to elevate Body Modification from its original D-rank power to C-rank, which was quite meaningful in itself.

 

Since it allowed him to use techniques he currently couldn’t employ to some degree of completeness, it could be said to be quite a useful skill for Dohyun, who had many skills beyond his ability stats.

 

Then Dohyun paused momentarily at one point.

 

‘Then what happens if I temporarily raise something that’s already S-rank?’

 

Having this thought, Dohyun looked at his only S-rank skill, Ether Heart, and wondered if he should try using Aesthetics of Sacrifice on it. At that moment, analysis hurriedly appeared and sent a warning.

 

※You currently cannot raise S-rank as you have not obtained transcendence.

 

Though he was startled by the sudden dark red message, he seemed to have gained some meaningful information.

 

‘Transcendence?’

 

When Dohyun showed such curiosity, Analysis exerted its power.

 

‘It fails to analyze this?’

 

Even though it was simple information, Dohyun looked puzzled when Analysis immediately failed to analyze it, but no more messages appeared to Dohyun.

 

Since Analysis could analyze everything about Dohyun’s actions, it had provided the clue about transcendence, but it remained silent as if it couldn’t reveal anything beyond that.

 

Though Dohyun felt a bit frustrated by the lack of information, he decided to move on for now.

 

It didn’t seem like information he could learn by worrying about it now, so moving on was the best strategy. Anyway, he had learned black magic from the new manual. When Dohyun closed the manual with a refreshed expression, Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who had been waiting curiously, asked.

 

“What kind of manual was that?”

 

“What technique was contained in it?”

 

Seeing both of them asking out of equal curiosity, Dohyun answered nonchalantly.

 

“Black magic.”

 

“Huh!?”

 

“What!?”

 

Both Hanalin and Jiyuchan were startled and looked at Dohyun with trembling pupils.

 

As if asking how he could read a manual containing black magic. Then, perhaps remembering Gallaclro, they swallowed nervously while looking at Dohyun, and Dohyun looked at them with amusement before explaining.

 

“Black magic isn’t like that guy earlier where you have to collect heads and offer sacrifices and such.”

 

“Huh? Then what is it?”

 

“It’s not like that?”

 

When both asked back with expressions as if their understanding of the world had been shattered, Dohyun carefully explained black magic and briefly told them about the manual’s ability.

 

Then Hanalin’s eyes lit up as if she was somewhat interested, while Jiyuchan was considerably disappointed that it was magic rather than a technique again.

 

However, Dohyun fell into brief contemplation while looking at the interested Hanalin.

 

He wondered if it would be okay for Hanalin to learn black magic, but the conclusion came faster than expected.

 

“You can learn it if you want to, but it probably won’t be very useful?”

 

“Hmm, since it’s black magic that enhances the skills you already have…”

 

“But you’d probably use mana as the price, and in that case, wouldn’t it be more efficient to use more mana to apply various spells like you do now?”

 

“Ah.”

 

At Dohyun’s sharp point, Hanalin, who had been thinking about learning new magic, remembered the point she had overlooked and nodded as if agreeing.

 

Thus Hanalin was inwardly disappointed, just like Jiyuchan.

 

In the end, it was a villain subjugation that only benefited Dohyun.
