326. Parasite The shadow that swallows everything (2)
Taesan went into darkness.
The further I went, the more shadows I saw, and the shadows were fighting each other.
Koo Goo Goo!
They fight each other by colliding with each other. Stronger shadows eat weaker shadows to increase their strength.
And then another shadow
attacks.
During the battle, the shadows that consumed their strength could not respond properly to the surprise attack and were trampled and disappeared in an instant.
The shadow that succeeded in fishermanship moved leisurely in a stronger state.
The two shadows that have lost all power disappear into the darkness.
“It is wild.”
They devour each other and rob each other of their power.
Taesan watched the process of the shadows eating each other.
The usurpation of power and the process. Taesan, who observed the concept, was able to understand it.
“It’s similar.”
Jinryong, who made a contract with a beast that longed for life. It wasn’t much different from the way he used to kill other players to gain power.
“Is it a similar species?”
The beast thirsting for life must have been originally a mortal being.
It was an existence that swallowed and devoured everything and rose to the position of immortal with only one power.
[I don’t know. Few people know where that immortal came from? A beast that longs for life devoured all of its habitat and hometown.]
Without leaving anything behind. He stuffed everything that touched him into his stomach. That’s why he developed enough strength to become an immortal.
[But… they look similar, yes. Like you said, it could be a similar species? Does that mean that beasts that crave life originally existed as a racial group?]
the ghost murmured intriguedly. Taesan advanced through the darkness.
Chow ah!
At that moment, a shadow fell over Mount Tai.
Taesan swung his sword. Power collided with a harsh sound.
Kagagak!
The shadow pushed its entire body in to swallow Taesan. The power felt in it was much stronger and gigantic than other shadows.
Taesan braced his sword and stepped forward
.
After a while, Taesan was able to defeat the shadow.
[Your spirit level has been activated.]
[The Mastery of Seed of Life has increased by 1%.]
[Have you released the Declaration of Concealment?]
“No.”
Taishan was still covered by the language. Taesan stepped on the scattered shadows.
“It doesn’t seem to work on someone who is stronger than a certain amount
.”
The shadow that now covered Mount Tai was noticeably stronger than the other shadows. If you were an ordinary adventurer, it would be difficult to win even if you fought with all your might.
The purpose of the base layer was not to defeat the shadows.
It was about finding a way to avoid the shadows and finding a passage through the darkness.
I could tell just by looking at the strength of the shadows. Each one was slightly weaker than Broken Man, and the
number exceeded a thousand. Defeating the shadows and moving forward was not a normal strategy.
However, what Taesan was trying to do now was an unusual attack method.
‘There is a limit to defeating small things.’
Experience cannot be obtained from enemies below a certain level, and the rise in spirit was the same. If you defeat dozens of more shadows, both will reach their limits.
Taesan, who calmly organized his thoughts, spoke.
“The strength of the shadows are all different.”
There were those who could win easily and those who had a hard time defeating them. It was because the shadows swallowed each other and robbed each other of their strength.
“Then there must be the strongest one.”
A shadow that rules this place with the mighty power of having eaten more shadows than anyone else.
The ghost quietly affirmed.
[Yeah, that’s right. But how do I find it?]
The darkness here blocks sight and senses.
Even if you activate Lerazie’s area detection, the shadows will eat up all the detection power. And I will run towards Taesan.
It wouldn’t be a big problem for Taesan, who had a forced duel, but since there were over a thousand units, it was bound to take time to process.
Not only that, but I didn’t know how wide this place was. Maybe it was the size of a planet.
“doesn’t care.”
That the power of area detection is being eaten away?
If that was the case, it would have been a matter of pouring in enough strength that he couldn’t eat it.
[You activated Sadohwa [Darkness and Chaos].]
[You activated King’s Vessel.]
[You activated Incarnation of Nature.]
The power of the gods dwells in Taesan. The vessels of King Jeongryeong descend and assimilate with nature.
The declaration of concealment is broken, and
waves of mighty power spread in all directions.
As the shadows began to approach, Taesan gathered his demonic energy.
[You activated Leragee’s area detection.]
[You activated forced amplification.]
Magi is consumed in an instant. The detection enhanced by the attack spreads with the force to destroy everything around it.
The shadows are afraid to eat the power of detection, but it is useless. The power was greatly increased by forcible amplification while using three dynamism skills .
Shaking off the shadows trying to eat them, they spread out in all directions.
A lot of information comes to Taesan.
The number of remaining shadows. The width and shape of this area. As if you were walking and skimming them with your hands, they all piled up in your head one after another.
And as the detection of the expanding area gradually faded, something caught at the end.
A being with power that even a very gigantic mountain cannot ignore.
found. Taesan turned off area detection.
When I looked away, thousands of shadows were running towards Tae San.
Taesan stamped his feet.
[Kareuk.] The huge shadow
lay quietly
in the abyss .
it was starved
It was very hungry.
I wanted to fill this endless hunger.
It swayed quietly. The shadow that made up the body split into thousands of branches and began to spread out in all directions.
The shadow branch rushed through the darkness and attacked the shadows scattered in all directions.
The shadows resisted and tried to swallow the house, but were trampled on without mercy
.
In an instant, dozens of shadows became part of it.
[Karuk.]
But it’s not filled.
There was no change in its hunger.
It has become so strong.
The shadow born at the bottom ate and ate and reached the end that the species could reach.
From here on, no matter how much I ate, nothing changed. The shadow
was instinctively aware.
The shadows are hungry.
I forgot when was the last time I satiated my hunger.
I entered because a strange being said that this place would satisfy your hunger, but nothing changed.
okay. The existence that called himself here looked very delicious. If I ate it, I thought I could satisfy my hunger.
At the same time, it was known. That’s something that can’t be eaten
. That he had gone beyond what he could handle.
That’s why it didn’t attack the strange being.
But if I was going to keep starving like this, I should have tried.
It regretted the past and tried to sleep again. It was because he knew from experience so far that the best way to forget hunger was.
It happened abruptly as consciousness was fading away.
Kiyin.
Waves of enormous power pass through the shadows.
something got in here
That in itself was not too surprising. It was not uncommon for the weak and insignificant to encroach on his domain.
They were so weak that even if they ate them, they couldn’t satisfy their hunger, so they didn’t even care.
However, the wavelength of this power was different.
if that power
A shadow arose. Destroying the surroundings
and swallowing the darkness, he began to rush towards the place where the power came out.
Chow ah!
Blocks the attack of the rushing shadow and inserts the sword. It blows the power as it is and throws it to pieces.
[You have activated Forced Duel.]
Defeat a shadow and activate Forced Duel again.
Ignoring thousands of shadows that rush at me, I rush forward.
The moment he used a skill like Apostleship, the shadows could not be his opponent. Trampling and knocking them down one by one, they moved forward.
How far did you go forward like that?
Taesan stopped moving forward.
“Here you are.”
[Wait.]
The ghost groans.
[…what. That one.]
Kaga gak!
A huge noise rings out. A huge shadow was running from the other side.
It was eating away all the shadows that stood in its way.
The shadows tried to resist, but were buried like animals caught in a natural disaster in front of overwhelming power.
The shadows that showed greed and rushed at Taesan quickly dispersed. It was as if he was frightened by that huge shadow
.
[The Shadow Maw has appeared.]
A torrent of Shadow Maw hits Mount Tai.
Taesan gave strength to his sword and charged.
Kaaaang!
A huge wave resounds. The space shakes violently by the collision.
Shadows and mountains bounce off at the same time. Tae-San gathers power.
“Be strong.”
In terms of simple strength,
it was above the leadership.
[Isn’t this the base layer? Why is something like that here?]
the ghost muttered as if it were absurd. It was a monster with power far beyond the base level.
[Karruk.]
The Shadow Maw quietly possessed a smile.
The shadows began to scatter in all directions and encroach on the space.
Taesan laughed. This was enough of a satisfactory opponent.
[You are the spirit king of the wind. Minerva was summoned.]
[You have a colorful shield. Summoned Barkaza.]
“Master. What happened this time…
Minerva, who was about to say hello, hesitated when she saw a huge shadow.
“…what else is that?”
[Still fighting a unique entity. Shouldn’t it be enough to defeat that thing?]
“Then it would be possible, but it would be difficult.”
Barcaza claps. A rainbow of light pours into the shadows.
Koo Goo Goo!
The Shadow King’s body shakes violently. Barkaza muttered in puzzlement.
[Why aren’t you defending?]
It was a simple check. Even though a being with that level of power could evade or block it enough, the shadow did not.
It wasn’t long before they realized why.
card win.
The sound of chewing sounds.
The power of Barkaza, who attacked the shadow, was gradually being absorbed.
“…what?”
[Karruk.]
A shadow rushes in with a rough laugh. Barca, who had been watching blankly, hurriedly emits a rainbow of light. Minerva uses her power to create wind.
” good.”
At the command of the owner, the wind becomes a blade and runs towards the shadow.
Minerva
became noticeably stronger as she ate the essence of nature. With Barkaja’s assistance, even if he had to fight Vishnu again, he could fight a decent fight.
Kwakwawang!
Indeed, the body of the shadow colliding with the blade of the wind is pushed away.
But Minerva’s expression hardened.
“…swallow my power?”
Kuduk. Kuduk.
The blade of the wind was slowly disappearing into the body of the shadow.
[Karluk.]
The shadow swelled up more happily. The shadow filling the space rushed toward Mount Tae.
Level up with skill
