‘Oops!’
A concept flashed via in Jin-Woo’s head.
‘I shouldn’t be losing time like this.’
He had witnessed the electricity of his new ability. He should now turn the defeated monsters into his squaddies.
If that became the case, then wasn’t there a monster close by that he simply had to turn into his lackey right away?
Jin-Woo climbed up the pile of armours that once was the large Iron Golem and stood on top. by being so high up, he could take in the entirety of the boss room.
‘……’
Jin-Woo searched around as his glare became sharper.
found it!
Confirming the direction, Jin-Woo right away ran over there. possibly he changed into feeling virtually psyched, he arrived there inside the blink of an eye despite the fact that he didn’t use the dash skill.
Gulp.
Jin-Woo seemed the ‘corpse’ of the monster that he become planning to extract the shadow from, and swallowed dry saliva.
The creature remained in the genuine same spot in which he had killed it.
‘…..Igrit the purple.’
The sight of the pink-armoured headless knight half of-buried within the thick, sturdy wall instructed how determined his situation turned into back then.
Jin-Woo stood before Igrit.
it might were a fearsome enemy that threatened to kill him only some hours ago, but now, it turned into in all likelihood the excellent factor he ought to find. happily enough, he noticed the black smoke slowly oozing out from Igrit, much like how it become with different fallen knights.
[It is possible to perform Shadow Extraction on the selected target.]
Jin-Woo’s expression brightened.
‘nice.’
He already knew the drill. Jin-Woo took a brief however deep breath and spoke out the command phrase.
“upward push up.”
He spoke the activation word for the skill, Shadow Extraction. but, the ability didn’t activate.
‘……..??’
Jin-Woo tilted his head this way and that manner, and became about to say the command phrase again. but then, following a ‘tti-ring’, several caution messages popped up.
[You have exceeded the number of shadows that can be extracted.]
[If you wish to perform Shadow Extraction, you must return a portion, or all, of your soldiers back to the world of nothingness via ‘Extraction Cancellation’.]
[Once returned to nothingness, the shadow soldiers can’t be summoned back.]
‘Oh, yeah. there was something like that, wasn’t there?’
on the stop of the skill’s explanation, there was something he have to’ve taken be aware of.
[Number of shadows that can be extracted: 30/30]
The maximum number of extractions he ought to carry out was 30. Which supposed the wide variety of his infantrymen changed into presently 30….
Jin-Woo appeared in the back of him.
The shadow squaddies had accompanied him even earlier than he had observed it and they had been standing in attention.
‘whilst did they?’
perhaps fitting their identify of ‘shadow soldiers’, they appeared to move round without making a single sound.
whatever the case might have been, if he wanted to extract Igrit’s shadow, he had to put off this sort of men, simply because the system had alluded to.
‘however….’
It had most effective been a brief at the same time as, but whilst he thought approximately them being his squaddies, he form of didn’t want to push aside any individual of them.
Did he get connected to them already?
With a rueful, unwilling expression, Jin-Woo slowly scanned each and each considered one of his shadow soldiers. As his eyes swept past the squaddies, their names and degrees appeared before his view.
[Shadow Infantryman Lv. 1]
normal grade
[Shadow Infantryman Lv. 1]
normal grade
everybody possessed the equal call and stage.
‘Oh properly, their origins were exactly the equal, so…’
however then, he located three truly exceptional-colored soldiers right behind the infantrymen.
‘Are the ones….?’
not like the regular infantrymen, these guys have been sporting gowns.
[Shadow Magic Soldier Lv. 1]
Elite grade
“Oh.”
He quick figured out what they were.
The 3 mages that have been controlling the Iron Golem have to’ve been revived as undeads as nicely when he gave out his ‘upward push up’ command simply now.
‘So, 27 soldiers and three mages, eh?’
This was why being ‘uncommon’ was an excellent component. He excluded the low-numbered mages and decided on the nearest infantryman from him to cancel the extraction.
….And he changed into without a doubt sorry approximately this.
“Extraction Cancellation.”
Phush….
The soldier turned into black smoke and scattered in the air. now not even a hint remained of it.
‘……..’
Jin-Woo gazed at the spot of the disappeared soldier for a little at the same time as with an apologetic expression, earlier than transferring his interest lower back to Igrit.
His preparation turned into complete.
He even needed to sacrifice considered one of his exquisite soldiers just so he could turn Igrit right into a shadow. So, he in reality needed to see a few consequences here.
Time to act even as the solar nevertheless shone.
Jin-Woo attempted the extraction proper away.
“upward push up.”
when he did that, the shadow cast underneath Igrit began to wiggle as if it got here to existence. It turned into the identical reaction as whilst he extracted the shadows from the knights simply now.
‘k, accurate!’
Jin-Woo clenched his fists tightly. He had an awesome feeling about this.
[Shadow Extraction has commenced.]
[Attempting to extract….]
What might Igrit seem like after its extraction? Jin-Woo’s hands became slick with the sweat of anticipation.
regrettably…
Ting!
A mechanical beep similar to a metal plate breaking in half of rang inner his head.
[Shadow Extraction has failed.]
“What?!’
[Two more attempts remaining.]
“Whew-woo….”
listening to that he nevertheless had extra chances last, Jin-Woo spat out a protracted sigh of comfort.
‘hang on, now that I consider it….’
The ability’s rationalization sincerely said that the chances of extraction failure could upward push up relying on the target’s Stat values.
however having skilled it in my opinion, he couldn’t assist but be dumbfounded. It felt like he were given slapped within the again of his head, this taste of his first failure.
not only that, there has been a restriction on the quantity of tries he may want to attempt, too.
‘So, i’ve two extra attempts final….’
If he failed in each tries, then did that imply Igrit’s shadow would disappear into that ‘nothingness’, simply because the sacrificed infantryman did?
Imagining the worst viable scenario, he felt dizzy for a 2d. Jin-Woo quick shook his head to clean his mind.
‘allow’s prevent wondering negatively approximately this.’
certainly, handiest positive thoughts…
Didn’t a person say that if you believed earnestly sufficient, the universe could discover a way that will help you out?
while stewing interior tension and anticipation, Jin-Woo tried the extraction for the second one time.
“upward push up.”
Too bad, his expectation changed into shot down grandly once more.
Ting!
[Shadow Extraction has failed.]
[One more attempt remaining]
‘…..’
This man gave him so much trouble even as it become still alive, or even in demise, it become dealing with to provide him some extreme complications.
And right here he was, hoping against hope.
Now that he had failed twice in a row, his vision regarded to have blurred, everything searching a chunk bleak.
“Fuu…..”
Jin-Woo deeply inhaled and exhaled his breath.
There had been no more attempts remaining after this. He had handiest one more shot left. Jin-Woo closed his eyes and reorganised his thoughts.
‘properly, it may be nothing greater than probabilities and odds, however….’
but, it was viable that his choice to possess Igrit’s shadow wasn’t earnest or strong enough.
Jin-Woo slowly reopened his eyes.
He sensed the black smoke rising up from Igrit achieving out to him, pleading with him to store it. Jin-Woo have become loads extra serious than earlier than.
And he reached out with his right hand as if to grab that pleading hand of the smoke.
“upward thrust up.”
He didn’t do it intentionally; he himself didn’t quite realize it then, but Jin-Woo’s voice sounded much heavier and graver than ever earlier than and it reverberated in the course of the boss room.
It changed into then!
Uwaaahhh-!!
A deep scream might be heard coming from someplace, and chilling, eerie wind swept by means of the boss room.
‘Isn’t this it…?’
Jin-Woo’s expression brightened.
He remembered encountering a similar situation like this one before.
….lower back while his infantrymen first popped out from the shadows.
Aaaaah-!
simply as he hoped for, because the lengthy scream got here to an quit, a protracted black hand emerged out from the shadow. And while that hand pressed down at the ground, a brand new message popped up in his view.
[Shadow Extraction was a success.]
Jin-Woo set free a cry of happiness.
“sure!!”
He tightly clenched his fists. The taste of success became a lot sweeter given that he had to go through screw ups to get right here.
however, the good news didn’t quit there.
[The sovereign’s voice had awakened the departed’s fighting spirit.]
[You have succeeded in strengthening your shadow soldier.]
[The shadow’s level will now start at 7.]
‘I succeeded in strengthening? What?’
A shadow’s starting level could be better than 1?
Jin-Woo’s eyes widened all over again. just because the message said, the black knight emerging from the shadow carried ‘degree 7’ in its popularity.
“Mm!!”
Jin-Woo spat out a brief gasp.
The newly-emerged shadow looked exactly because it became in his memories.
The mane connected to the helm; the pretty-stylish armour wrapped round its complete frame; that noble, dignified cape.
The handiest difference being that the blood-like armour now sported a pitch-black coloration, alternatively. the whole thing else changed into precisely the identical.
He’d have possibly believed it if someone advised him that Igrit had again to lifestyles just now.
however…
‘…..’
The newly-born Igirt didn’t display a single trace of animosity towards him. No, it simply stood there quietly, watching for Jin-Woo to present it a new order.
Thump, thump.
Hin-Woo’s coronary heart began pounding in pleasure as he stared at Igrit. And there has been a massive grin etched on his face. even though his heart became palpitating, there was something he changed into curious approximately.
Jin-Woo’s gaze shifted just above Igrit’s head.
‘Why doesn’t this guy have a name?’
[?? Lv. 7]
Knight grade
For some strange motive, there has been multiple query marks in place of its name.
‘And its grade is likewise extraordinary.’
He understood that its degree turned into excessive because of that strengthening element, but nevertheless, this guy exhibited pretty a few variations from the normal infantrymen.
possibly it examine Jin-Woo’s mind, due to the fact the machine sent him a new message with excellent timing.
Tti-ring.
[You can bestow a name to a knight grade soldier.]
[The bestowed name will be maintained until the shadow soldier is dismissed.]
[Please set the soldier’s name.]
‘A call, is it?’
at the beginning, he turned into at a loss with this unexpected call for, but quickly sufficient, he recalled that this ‘man’ already had a call and a smile crept up on his face. There have to be no hassle calling it through its unique name, no?
[Please set the soldier’s name.]
The message blinked as though to urge him on with the naming already.
Jin-Woo opened his mouth.
“Igrit the Cri….”
No, hang on a minute.
when the gadget asked him to set the name, it supposed that he’d ought to use that name to name this guy from right here onwards. So, didn’t that also suggest that he’d have to call it Igrit the blah-blah all of the time any more?
just thinking about that gave him an uncongenial case of goosebumps.
‘…..That’s way too cringey.’
ultimately, he decided to shorten the call fairly.
“Igrit.”
[Will you set the name as ‘Igrit’?]
“That’s proper.”
As soon as Jin-Woo spoke, the question marks on the guy’s head disappeared and the name Igrit regarded there.
[Igrit Lv. 7]
Knight grade
All he did turned into to genuinely supply it its authentic name, but Jin-Woo nevertheless felt like he had achieved something pretty tremendous. He turned into filled with contentment, understanding that this man changed into his dependable soldier now.
‘My very own loyal soldier, eh….’
Jin-Woo took a glance at the back of him.
29 shadow infantrymen were nevertheless there, looking forward to his orders.
For now, the wide variety was too small.
‘only 30, huh….’
both this changed into because the talent stage of ‘Shadow Extraction’ become too low, or due to the fact his Intelligence Stat hadn’t been raised high sufficient yet.
but, he changed into certain of 1 element, and that turned into the variety of his soldiers would gradually swell up.
‘Yup, I in reality have myself a brand new navy.’
now not handiest that, they weren’t a few skeletons and corpses, but an army of shadows.
Now, there has been best one problem remaining.
And that turned into how he’d walk around with these men. Now that gave him a chunk of a headache.
‘Doesn’t count number skeletons or shadows….’
It’d be manner too 32012fd371b2d8bbf6e5e631dc96cdaf if those men freely walked around inside the streets.
might that be all?
This talent changed into already manner beyond regular humans accepting it as one of the many woke up competencies a Hunter could possess.
both he’d be under the regular surveillance, or worse, someone may even call for him to brush aside the summoning, too.
‘Woo Jin-Cheol, the segment chief of the monitoring division, the Korean Hunter’s affiliation….’
thinking about how stuffy-looking guys like that man would come round each day and annoy him to no cease in the destiny, Jin-Woo felt like he’d die from frustration already.
That turned into exactly why the subsequent ability existed, possibly.
‘capabilities.’
Jin-Woo summoned his skill Window.
[Class-specific skills]
energetic competencies:
Shadow Extraction Lv. 1
Shadow storage Lv. 1
The skill he only checked its call and nothing else until now.
The ‘Shadow garage’.
That call alone made him think that this talent could help him out in these sorts of situations.
