179. Spirit interference
“What? You got the 4th skill?”
“I was lucky this way and that.”
Seunghyun Kang opened the status window.
Although it was invisible to Kim Ho-jung’s eyes, he could see the [Spirit Interference★] standing proudly in the corner of the skill window.
‘Spirit interference…’
Looking at the name alone, it seems to be a skill that handles the soul.
Usually dealing with the soul in the Azul Continent is a spirit-related skill, so it seems that the style will be different from the skills you have acquired so far.
‘Similar to [Earth Bone], strangely, these are skills that only necromancers would have.’
Maybe that’s why I’m going to work as a savage necromancer.
Somehow that thought ran through my head.
“What skill is it?”
“wait a minute.”
Kang Seung-hyun opened the skill window and checked the skill information.
[Soul Interference★]
[When the skill is activated, it can have a physical effect on the soul like a spirit body.] [
This skill can be used in conjunction with other skills.]
“It is a skill that can contact the soul.”
“Touch your soul?”
Originally, the soul of a creature has no substance, so it cannot be touched or contacted in a normal way.
‘I thought it was a skill that didn’t come out at all and had nothing to do with me.’
This is because in order to interfere with the soul, you need to have a special skill like a necromancer or a priest or have a very strong power to overwhelm the soul.
‘I never thought I’d get something like this.’
Kang Seung-hyun smiled at the unexpected windfall.
You might say that the skill to deal with the soul has nothing to do with a healer, but in fact, it is a necessary skill for a healer.
“Does touching the soul help cure?”
“There are two main types of mental illness in the Azul Continent.”
The first is a mental illness in which abnormalities occur in the brain.
Representatively, it is a case where a brain problem occurs due to a physical or mental shock or stress.
“In short, he’s the type you can easily see in Korea.”
In this case, there is usually no problem because it can be treated in the same way as psychological counseling or drug treatment or surgery.
“The problem is the second case.”
“second?”
The second is a mental illness that causes abnormalities in the soul.
This is when the soul escapes the body or is hit hard, causing problems such as cracking or breaking.
‘Counseling or drug treatment won’t work at all in this case.’
Since the problem arises in the soul itself, the target cannot be cured unless the problem is corrected.
“Wouldn’t it make you feel better if you gave medicine to someone whose soul is gone?”
“Well, right now, the residents of Tracotti are also alive because Wismel returned their souls.”
For example, mental illness caused by a black magician’s curse erodes the soul itself, so you need a skill that can help you overcome the curse, not medicine or psychological counseling.
Of course, there was no way a healer who couldn’t even use a heal would have a skill to heal, so I couldn’t do anything until now.
“Since I obtained [Soul Interference★], I can treat patients with soul problems from now on.”
Such as returning a soul that has escaped the body to its original place, repairing a broken soul, or removing a curse from the soul.
I was able to write in a way that I couldn’t try until now.
“When Wismel left, he left behind something good.”
“I don’t know what it is, but you mean it’s amazing?”
“In addition, the characteristic of the Soul Interference that I acquired is that it can be used in combination with other skills.”
[Soul Interference★]
Kang Seung-hyun activated [Soul Interference★].
[You can interfere with the soul.]
Then, as this message appeared in front of his eyes, Kang Seung-hyeon’s eyes began to glow blue.
This seems to be a skill that makes the eyes shine.
“Oh then, can Mr. Kang just pull out other people’s souls like Pen Grill?”
“Theoretically, it is possible.”
If you use skills such as [Sever] or [Extract] while [Soul Interference★] is active like now, you can damage the soul.
“However, it is not easy to touch the soul of a living creature.”
“But I heard that Pen Grill draws well like a puppeteer.”
“It’s because that bastard borrowed the power of God and the power of Wismel. It is usually difficult.”
This is because the creatures of Azul Continent have the instinct to protect vital points with their magic.
“So you can’t use it?”
“That’s not it. The wounded lack the strength to protect their souls.”
So, if you don’t have the energy to protect your body due to a severe injury, or if your mental strength is low because your mental is destroyed, you won’t be able to resist these soul-type skills.
“In other words, if you make a healthy person into a patient, you can use it on anyone.”
“Is the conclusion a bit strange?”
“Of course, I’m a healer, not a necromancer, so I’m going to use it for treatment.”
Like other skills, [Spirit Interference★] also boasts a huge stamina consumption, so it is inefficient to use it in battle.
‘It’s much easier and faster to just beat it to death.’
If you have to use this, it would be better to use it on a ghost that doesn’t work well with physical attacks or use it as a finisher.
“Ah, then it’s not omnipotent. They’ll pluck out all the bad guys’ souls.”
“It’s enough for me that I’ve acquired a skill that helps me heal the soul.”
Kang Seung-hyun is a person who judges the usefulness of a skill by whether or not it is helpful for healer work.
So even if it’s useless when fighting, if it’s of great help to the healer, that skill is the best skill.
“As expected, Sensei is a born healer.”
“I don’t think I’ll be writing anything right now.”
“Don’t you have anything to write about? why?”
Unfortunately, there is no need to use [Soul Interference★] because Wizmel has healed all of Tracotti’s injuries.
“That’s right, you can’t take out a normal person’s soul just to try this.”
“Sorry. I wanted to see you use a new skill.”
“If you are curious, shall we test it?”
“how?”
“Please lend me your soul, Mr. Kim Ho-jung. I think this [Disassembly★] will work too…”
“I’d rather ask for a guarantee!”
“just joke.”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled and ended the activation of [Spirit Interference★].
“Ah, getting the Black Star skill… did you clear the last quest?”
“That’s not it. This is a skill given by Wismel.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and opened the status window.
‘Originally, in order to acquire the Black Star skill, you had to clear the quest suggested by the manager, but Wismel gave you this skill for free.’
In other words, the existing black star quest remains as it is.
It means that you can acquire the 5th [★] skill following the 4th.
‘This is very lucky. To get the Black Star skill without spending a single point… I should be grateful to Mr. Wizmel.’
If the points needed for the quest were already collected.
It was because while staying in Tracotti, he monopolized the healer job and swept the points like a rake.
‘Even so, it’s a bit lacking… I finally filled the required points after treating the injured Ziggs.’
There are currently no patients left in Tracotti.
Now there is no way to collect points.
‘If I remember correctly, the remaining points were 12508 points when I last checked…’
The last quest required 12500 points.
It’s just that the conditions were met very narrowly.
‘Then where should I get the 5th Black Star skill?’
Seunghyun Kang smiled and checked the quest window.
[Q] [Please collect 12500 points.]
[Reward]: [★][?]
[Quest accomplished!]
“Huh?”
However, the quest had already been completed.
Obviously, Kang Seung-hyun had never pressed the finish button.
[Accumulated points: 8 points]
Even the remaining points are only 8 points.
The 12,500 points he had worked hard to collect had disappeared into thin air.
“What is this? Where did my points go?”
Could it be that the manager cheated?
Kang Seung-hyun, who disappeared with the point, frantically checked the status window.
[You’ll read this someday.]
A small message was left in the corner of the status window.
‘Looking at the title… I can’t believe this.’
Kang Seung-hyun checked the message with a confused face.
[I completed the ‘quest’ here instead to send you the skill.] [
It took a lot of energy to create and send a powerful skill.] [
Sorry for using it without permission, but I was too busy to tell you. .]
[The unknown item received as a quest reward has been moved to the inventory.]
-[Leaving Wizmel who loves you very much.]-
“This bastard!!!”
As it turned out, Wismel didn’t give me the skill for free. Instead, he cleared the manager’s quest and remodeled the reward he received and presented it to Kang Seung-hyeon.
In other words, Kang Seung-hyun did not actually receive any compensation from Wismel.
“Wismel!!!!!”
Kang Seung-hyeon cried out to Wismel with anger, but it is said that his voice was not heard by God who left the world without any regrets.
-“You haven’t lost anything though! Don’t be too disappointed!”
“It makes me angry to think that the salary I received after working hard is being taken out of my bank account.”
Seunghyun Kang muttered with a thick face.
He didn’t really put up with anything else, but he really couldn’t stand working for no pay.
“Now that this is the case, shall we rip off the offspring?”
“Tracotti? I don’t think everyone has a dime.”
Kim Ho-jung smiled awkwardly and said.
“The town’s promising puppeteer blew himself up, the relationship with Camar deteriorated, and Wismel left.”
Even if no one died, conditions in the village would not be normal. It was also an isolated village without a single healer in the first place.
“Well, the outsiders should get off their hands at this point, and the insiders of the village should take care of themselves from here on out.”
Kang Seung-hyun sipped his stamina and approached Rebecca. She took care of her brother’s corpse and was looking somewhere.
“Rebecca is slowly going back to the village. You must be very tired, but after resting…”
“Oh, Healer Kang Seung-hyun?”
Rebecca asked with a puzzled face.
“How do we get out of here?”
“yes? That’s right, to the stairs we came from earlier…”
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the stairs leading to the ground with the potion bottle in his mouth.
The place where the stairs were supposed to be had disappeared without a trace under the collapsed rocks and walls.
