Awakening After Divorce - Awakening After Divorce chapter 126
Chapter 126 7th Floor
Jihoo’s breathing froze. The [Dreaming Darkness] had a temperature control function and even a station field, but the chill on the 7th floor was beyond imagination.
Lee Hee-yeon and Kim Mi-ji were the same.
Even though they were wearing winter clothes made from the skin of [Snow Mountain Monkeys] living on the 7th floor, they had to raise their mana to endure.
“Hoo-wook- Hoo-wook – let’s break through quickly. The ice spirit stone is a piece of sh*t!”
Jihoo shouted.
I didn’t know it would be like this.
If I met him on the way to the 8th floor, I would hunt him down, but I couldn’t wander around this place just because I didn’t meet him.
“I-I said-! It’s crazy!”
It was so thick that it half covered her face, so her voice could not be heard well, but the wind was too strong.
I think I’ll be fine without the wind, but this guy’s wind won’t stop.
“Whoop- whoop- it’s hard to breathe!”
“But- you have a stationmaster too!”
“Looks like you both have some strength left! Too many dirty words!”
A harsh sound came out of Kim Mi-ji’s mouth, which had been quiet. It’s like you can’t stay calm here.
Then, I saw a white storm in the distance.
tall.
“… … ?”
“… … !”
“X feet.”
It was the [Snowman Storm] that Jihoo wanted to catch.
However, it is extremely cumbersome and burdensome.
Ugh-!
Kim Mi-ji spat out swear words, but like a veteran, she prepared magic right away. The magic circle engraved in the air was wind attribute magic that changed the direction of the wind.
‘Are you saying that you’re going to make a huge wall and pour it out like a tidal wave, using this place as the standard coordinates? As expected, even if they have the same 5 stars, their fields of expertise are on a different scale.’
Jihoo was amazed. Also, it was amazing that he could read the magic circle himself.
Lee Hee-yeon, who was next to her, also pulled out a gun.
It was the second version of [Wind of Lightning] that Jihoo made. Through [Phase Separation], [Space Expansion] was added to increase the number of bullets stored to 50.
Jihoo immediately prepared the magic.
I took out the [Dragon Witch], but it felt like my palms would freeze, perhaps because it was made of ferrous iron. Of course, magic immediately circulated and the heat spread gently.
‘Are these things automatically done?’
Jihoo stopped thinking and activated [Summoning Board: Fire Serpent].
Roaring!
Although it is still only an experimental artifact, I was satisfied with the fact that I could drastically reduce the casting speed.
After all, the real magic is after this.
‘Anyway, there is a force field, so the three of us are safe. Because Midge alone can’t block the front. I have to reduce the number first.’
Jihoo blew magic power into it.
At the same time, they started making a bunch of oxygen pockets mixed with carbon. But this was not enough.
So, I prepared a magic called [Magical Burn].
It was as difficult and complex a spell as the process of making a fire snake, and if the fire snake was made separately, it would have taken a lot of time.
But the fiery serpent was already out, so there was plenty of time.
“I- I go first!”
Jihoo shouted.
at the same time.
Roaring!
The fiery snake on top of Jihoo’s head began to grow dozens of times. It was to use the magic power around him as fuel to increase his size.
Among them was magic itself.
[Magical Burn].
It is a flame that burns with mana as fuel, but it is much stronger than other flames and does not go out easily. Of course, the downside is that it consumes mana unreasonably.
‘But I have a [dragon witch].’
Kwagwagwagwa!
Jihu’s fire snake.
The fireball, which could now be called an Imoogi, flew towards the snowman storm that was gathering in front of it.
Chii profit!
Wow!
Then, an unknown wall of fire engulfed them. But they started to run away from the fire in all directions, as if they still had a self.
At that time, Lee Hee-yeon’s shooting began.
Taaang-!
I thought it was a single shot, but there were more than a dozen tracks of electric shocks emitted from her hand.
He definitely had a talent.
Kyaaa!
The few remaining ice spirits fell to the floor. There were cases where the torso was penetrated, but there were also reasons why firearms lost a lot of power, and there was also a reason why magic was hardened by electric shock.
“Five, not bad.”
There were only five spirits with intact cores.
Jihoo quickly extracted the core.
That’s why this has to be precious. I don’t think Jihoo would want to catch this guy just because he came all the way here. I’d rather just kill them all.
Still, the first hunt is a success.
Luckily, the three of them were able to find the entrance to the 8th floor without encountering the [Blue Whale].
* * *
The three didn’t come right away.
Even though the 7th floor is ridiculously polar, it is a place where people can live more than the 8th floor. So I took a seat near the 8th floor.
Of course, Jihoo’s ability was needed.
“I never thought I would build an igloo in my lifetime.”
“Still, it’s terribly warm, isn’t it?”
“Much better.”
[Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 07)] was used. It had already reached level 7, and it was not difficult to extract the glaciers here.
Jihoo removed the square ice cubes, Lee Hee-yeon assembled them, and Kim Mi-ji applied heat to melt them and stick them together. Then, in an instant, I was able to complete a better igloo than I thought.
“But it is really warm.”
Of course, magic was added.
Jihoo removed the clue that it was an artifact with [Setup Intervention], and Miji Kim carved a magic circle on the ice wall.
It wasn’t heat-producing, it was a [keep warm] type, and it was enough to feel a slight heat. I didn’t know it might be like that because I’ve been doing well in Korea.
“8th floor, is it okay?”
Heeyeon Lee asked.
Jihoo thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
The reason why the 8th floor is more terrifying than the 7th floor is because of the shadow of death cast there. All the monsters were dead undead, there were no plants, and dead people became ghouls in the swamps that existed everywhere.
Also, it’s not just that kind of atmosphere.
“It’s a kind of curse called [death].”
Jihoo knows all too well.
But others rarely have a chance to come into contact with it. Even if there is, there is a labyrinth somewhere on TV, so don’t approach it. It’s just fragmentary knowledge.
“If you look at the strategy guide, it’s basically [lower], but it says it has a mind curse. If you don’t keep your mind straight, your mind will be polluted.”
In books, it is said that [lower lethargy], [lower mental pollution], and [lower level of depression] appear in each section.
The three recovered their stamina like that.
The 7th floor is just walking. No, just standing still consumes a lot of stamina. If you go to the 8th floor in this state, your mind will be easily contaminated.
After talking with each other, Lee Hee-yeon was wary of the outside and Kim Mi-ji fell asleep. How could that be, in less than a minute he started snoring lightly.
From nob le mt l. co m
Meanwhile, Jihoo was reading a book.
‘There is no such thing as demonic purification. It is to completely remove the demonic energy from certain by-products and convert them into magical energy. elimination of magic. By-product purification is the right word.’
Jihoo nodded.
And read the next sentence.
‘Refined demons can be seen as taming demons that cannot be tamed. The key is to remove [Subordination] and [Mental Pollution].’
Jihoo thought while looking at this.
‘If it was simply this, it wouldn’t be difficult for me.’
However, even when [viewing] or [understanding] demons, the words [subordinate] and [mental contamination] were not found.
This description was an abstract example.
‘For that process, you have to go through [blocking], [sealing], [aging] and neutralize it with [spirit stone]. The materials needed for the process are… … .’
Jihoo turned the pages while using [Understanding], and was able to achieve 70% understanding.
In fact, Jihoo can change [Mage] to [Refined Mage] through [Setup Intervention]. However, what I was trying to [understand] was to use it more efficiently.
And now, I thought that it was sufficiently efficient.
‘I also got the spirit stone, so if I use it as a sacrifice, I’ll be able to significantly reduce my SP.’
Jihoo took out the Spirit Stone from his bosom.
Then, he took out the [Bukkake’s Blood (Elite) (Lv. 06)] from the flask. It was a flask made after going to [I Was a Death Knight] and even writing down the label.
‘If you simply want to refine this flask, you don’t have to use a spirit stone.’
-Do you want to save [Purified Bukkake Blood (Elite) (Lv. 06)]?
– A total of 1,000 SP is consumed.
It costs more SP than I thought.
But is it necessary to consume an entire Spirit Stone with this? Besides, if Jihoo is using it himself, he doesn’t have to refine it.
This is because the mental barrier blocks [Subordination] and [Mental Pollution].
‘No, warlocks will also be interlocked with the body, not the mind, but that’s probably blocking them as well.’
Jihoo is still lacking in studies.
What’s clear, though, is that it’s better to use it for this than to use it for this flask.
[Horn of Centurion Bukkake (Lv. 07)]
: The horn of a centurion-level bukake. For monsters, horns are the source of demonic energy, and also the source of demonic energy.
* [Creating Intermediate Magi]
* [Amplify Lesser Magi]
* [Lesser Demonic Control]
The reason Jihoo brought this by-product was because he realized something while reading a book on black magic.
‘Blocking is a monster. Or, it is a spiritual connection with the demon king, and sealing is the time when that connection is cut off. Aging is neutralized through spirit stones. And it connects the magic properties that need to be connected somewhere with the Spirit Stone.’
Fully understood.
It is to consume the [Ice Spirit Stone] to make the horn itself a by-product that produces, amplifies, and controls [Refined Magic].
-The level of the target is equal to the level of [Set Intervention].
– The level of the target is higher.
-[Heroic Gyung] is detected from the user’s [Dragon Witch].
-Magic infiltrates the user’s mind.
-[Never Collapsing] builds a [Mental Barrier].
– [Mental Barrier] of [Set Intervention Permission] incapacitates the target.
‘It sure is awful.’
However, it doesn’t work for Jihoo.
– A total of 2,500 SP is consumed.
-Are you sure you want to save?
There was nothing to worry about.
2,500 SP is nothing at this rate. Even now, the survival SP has increased even now, saying that you have reached the 7th floor, and achievements have been created just by reaching the 7th floor.
Jihoo looked at the saved settings.
[Horn of Centurion Bukkake (Lv. 06)]
: The horn of a centurion-level bukake. For monsters, horns are the source of demonic energy, and also the source of demonic energy. However, it was refined by mysterious power and spirit stone. The destructive power is further weakened, but the attributes do not disappear, and the dependent link and mental contamination are gone.
* [Create Lesser Refined Magi]
* [Lesser Refined Demonic Amplification]
* [Lesser Refined Demonic Control]
[Middle level magic creation] has been changed to lower level, and the level has also decreased by one. But even this was enough success.
Before Jihoo climbed, I looked for it while studying black magic, but there was no artifact that could create [refined magic] itself anywhere.
The orthodox method was to simply extract the magic energy, refine it, store it, and use it.
“Success.”
It was then.
Lee Hee-yeon, who was wary of the outside, raised her magic and held her breath. something. Or someone was approaching this place.
‘Something approaching. Appears to be three in total.’
‘person?’
‘It’s very likely. Not sure because of the blizzard. The blizzard also scattered the waves of magic, so I can’t even feel it.’
There are very few people on the 7th floor.
There are some that think of it as a gateway to the 8th floor, but it is because it is impossible for a normal hunter to come this far.
No matter how good your skills are, you need to be with a mage or have a [Flying Artifact] to guarantee your survival.
“uh?”
But Jihoo could see it.
Until now, Jihoo’s [super sense] had to be much later than Lee Hee-yeon’s, because now it included [clairvoyance] rather than simple senses.
‘see?’
‘Yes, that Jung Woo-yeon. A street person?’
At Jihoo’s whisper, the two let go of their guard.
It’s because they can trust Jihoo’s words, not anyone else’s. Lee Hee-yeon looked at Ji-hoo suspiciously, but now that she knew his characteristics well, she could trust him.
‘Wait, but how are you here?’
I thought he was an ordinary grocery store owner.
Wasn’t it really [Death Knight]?
