Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 181



Only Noblemtl

181

Three minutes before Anton’s breath was released and part of failed to turn black, Jinseong’s worries deepened.

‘It seems possible… … It seems possible. Mr. Chili Shrimp did it. If it’s done that way, then I should be able to do it too.’

The golden whip that Chili Shrimp used was, as expected, not a weapon avatar.

It wasn’t the whip, , that could be obtained by using .

In the end, she had used the summoner’s skill in a way that only the possessed could do, in a way that was [outside the standard], and had taught that method to Jinseong himself.

‘I thought it would get easier, dammit.’

I had predicted it to some extent.

It was speculated that it was utilizing the power of skills or the power of possessed flesh.

So, he must have decided that if he could just learn the method, he would be able to easily apply it himself, and by utilizing that power, he would be able to block the fire that Apostle Anton was spewing.

‘But it doesn’t work? Could it be… … that I’m wrong now? Extracting from characteristics would be, well, difficult. But… … the shape is clear.’

But so far, not a single one of the dozens of attempts has been successful.

Even though he was clearly holding a sword, he was not given any power.

In a situation where it seemed like it might work out, with each attempt, he felt his energy drain away, and it wasn’t just his imagination. With each attempt, Jinseong himself became more and more exhausted.

Vivi’s passionate cheering, cheering that motivates the chili shrimp like a medicine.

[Kkle, kkle, kkle… The Sea of ​​Twilight. Isn’t this an appropriate name for a water burial for so many people, Jinseong?]

It was a level of difficulty that I might have quickly given up on if it weren’t for the sarcastic remarks of Heukgu, who went one step further and mocked Jinseong.

[No, no, but I wonder if Taco Ney is feeling good. He probably doesn’t have anything to be sad about since he’s going to die in the sea he so desperately wanted to go to.]

“Groan, groan!”

Of course, Jinseong just laughs, knowing that it is Heukgu’s way of cheering.

Rather, it would be more correct to say that after hearing Heukgu’s cheering, I felt my energy rise again.

Going back to the beginning, Jinseong thought.

‘The form is clear. It’s a sword. And it’s not an ordinary sword. It’s not a sword that can borrow power, and the weapon with the highest required level among the weapons I have also failed.’

Some parts of the blade were dyed black.

with a wearable level of 85 or higher is also just a purple energy that has gathered and then dispersed.

If these don’t work, there’s no point looking at other common weapons.

Ultimately, this means that it is impossible in the form of these weapons.

‘The ultimate, most powerful weapon a Dark Knight can use… … he can’t summon it.’

So what should we do?

What if we can’t access ‘form’ in this way?

‘Extracting from characteristics? That’s… That’s actually-.’

Jinseong bit his lower lip.

Why would you try the hard way when there’s not even an easier way?

And now? In just three minutes, Anton’s breath will be coming out?

“Ji, Jinsang! Don’t you have any other skills?”

Vivi looked at Jinseong’s expression and asked hurriedly.

But these were things that had already been done.

The reason why I judged that it was more difficult to extract the true nature from the characteristics was, of course, because I had tried something related to it.

“Yes. I’ve tried everything I could. is the ghost, or is the power of darkness…’

Where did all the characteristics of the skills that Jinseong currently possess come from?

The only traits that are related to the Dark Knight’s signature black ghost or dark power, a kind of dark attribute energy, are:

It’s different from what Jinseong himself wanted.

‘If I were to extract it from the trait, it would have to be related to time and space… … If I could just use the two-legged skill like last time, then maybe-.’

When I followed Giselle to the Helix Labs in ‘Castle of the Dead’.

If I could do something like partially implementing a skill by ‘moving together’ with countless future versions of myself that I met in the dimensional rift.

At first, I wasn’t even sure if the skill I used back then was , but in any case, I had once broken the main parts or functions of Giselle’s dimensional travel device due to that skill.

But that one time was all.

‘-I can’t use it. What on earth did I do back then? How did I split the solid wall of the castle of the dead? How did I split the space-time gap? No, you don’t have to split it. It would be nice if you just let me use that Bismuri skill… … .’

It is a skill that can be acquired at level 85. In its current form, it cannot be used indiscriminately unless it is used in a special situation or by borrowing a special energy.

What should I do?

Puuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

Puuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

[3 nautical miles ahead of Anton!]

[Expected energy concentration rate 91%!]

[Energy eruption expected at a distance of approximately 1.6 nautical miles based on past data!]

[About 1 minute left until Anton’s energy burst!]

Now there is practically less than a minute left until Anton’s breath is reversed.

“Ji, Jinsang! You can do it, one more time!”

“Haigoya… My life wasn’t long, but it ends here. I’m filled with regret as it’s time to go.”

Although Vivi believes in herself and is rooting for her, Jinseong can clearly feel her anxiety.

What about the sigh of the chili shrimp that doesn’t blame Jinseong but openly gives the nuance of giving up?

‘I thought it would be clear. My choice was wrong… … all? No. It wasn’t wrong. There must be a way. Think again, think again.’

Jinseong looked around for a moment, steeling his resolve and repeating what he had thought, which might be the only way to stop Apostle Anton’s breath.

Above all, they are not the only ones.

What about the slightly distant Un Lionel or Hiram Clough?

I didn’t even have the strength to stand, so I brought a chair and sat down, and I could even see the view of Jackter Eagle-Eye looking down from the cigar or the bridge.

Everyone’s eyes were focused solely on Jinseong himself.

Is it because of Jinseong’s personality that he is able to come up with self-deprecating jokes amidst extreme tension and pressure?

‘I guess it’s a good thing I sent Neville and Jurgen on the gunship. If I fail… … Haha. The heavens will be turned upside down. The Jiben Empire will be created without the princess.’

Jackter Eagle-Eye adopted the true strategy and sent Neville Jurgen back to the zodiac.

The funny thing is that that part is the same as the main scenario flow that Jinseong himself remembers.

There is a difference in that, compared to the original flow where the two were forcibly transported after their confrontation, they returned to a much more gentlemanly and polite attitude.

‘No matter which way you go, you’ll just end up in Seoul. Even if there are some differences in the content, it doesn’t matter as long as the end result is the same. It looks plausible at first glance… … Huh?’

Is it okay if there are some differences in content?

What if something looks the same?

Up until now, what Jinseong himself had been trying to do was to imbue the sword he was holding with the ‘power’ of the Dark Knight.

The goal was to extract the energy and characteristics of the Dark Knight’s strongest skill.

58 seconds

Jinseong finally realized.

“I see, you didn’t have to go that far! There was a way to hit a cushion and go!”

“H, Huh?! Mr. Jinsang? What are you talking about all of a sudden-.”

“Chili Shrimp!”

Jinseong was startled by Bibi’s scream, but Jinseong didn’t have time to pay attention to her now.

The most important key would be the chili shrimp, Jinseong called her over and over again to wake her up.

“Wake up! Quickly, I need help!”

“Yes, yes? What else can I help you with? Me?”

The chili shrimp, which had been staring blankly at the sea with unfocused eyes just a moment ago, reacted in surprise.

“Chili Shrimp! Two-legged job name!”

“Me? What’s your job title?”

The chili shrimp tilted its head, pointing at itself.

She is a summoner.

A summoner who has completed the second awakening.

Starting off as a summoner in the female magician profession, she went through her first awakening, ‘Moon Empress’, and now?

39 seconds

“My job title is…Eclipse?”

The summoner’s second awakening name is .

Eclipse, when referring to a solar or lunar eclipse.

Jinseong nodded repeatedly until his throat was sore.

“Yes, the moon! The moon! That! Skill!”

Jinseong pointed to the sky as he looked at her with an expression that said she didn’t understand English.

The sky was relatively dark, but it wasn’t night yet.

The moon was not up.

“moon……?”

“Where is the moon? It’s not there?

Both Chili Shrimp and Bibi tilted their heads as they looked at Jinseong who was speaking urgently.

20 seconds

I have so much to say, I feel like I’m stuck because I want to tell you everything that’s going on in my head right now.

“No, that’s not it! Skill! It shouldn’t be there originally, but Chili Shrimp-nim has it, right? The skill before the 2017 renewal!”

“The skills I have……”

There are more than one or two skills.

But the chili shrimp noticed in an instant.

11 seconds.

What is Jinseong trying to say now?

In addition to the name of your 2nd awakening job, what are some skills that might be related to it?

And the skills she has.

Currently, it cannot be used by any users of the Summoner class, but Chili Shrimp is different.

One who remains in the present and enjoys the past, so he can move on to the future.

The entire sea of ​​twilight suddenly turned bright yellow.

The distance between Noble Sky and Anton is approximately 1.6 nautical miles, or about 3 km.

Jinseong shouted at her.

“Use your skill, quickly!”

Chili Shrimp carefully raised both arms.

After a brief surge of mana that was so rapid that it made her red hair stand on end, she murmured.

A skill that disappeared with the renewal of the Summoner profession in 2017.

But the current chili shrimp has the skills.

“.”

The eclipse materializes behind the summoner into a dark moon-shaped Darkmoon.

It’s an eclipse.

It is the moon.

And it’s a hidden diet.

4 seconds.

Anton breathed fire.

─────────────!

Jinseong looked at the moon summoned by the chili shrimp.

If the name of the blue whip in is .

What is the name of the sword he is holding?

‘I see… … Among the countless ‘future selves’ I saw when I escaped from the castle of the dead… … .’

It definitely existed.

It wasn’t a very distant time, but it was the ‘Dark Knight’s Sword’ that his future self, Jinseong, was holding.

Because I saw it right away.

Because I believed I could use that power.

There was a basis for making a seemingly ignorant choice, which was to block the breath of the Apostle Anton.

The truth was something that could be said.

Reaching out towards the pitch-black moon floating above the twilight sea.

“.”

3 seconds.

From the moon summoned by chili shrimp.

Jinseong himself derives the form he wants.

The Dark Knight’s sword, its name is Lunar Eclipse.

Pachit, pachichitichi─────!

Jinseong held the sword’s handle, which seemed to be shaped like a black aura, with both hands and pulled it back as far as he could.

2 seconds.

If it came from the form, then what?

Express the characteristics.

The name of the sword is Lunar Eclipse.

But what the sword really wants to do is not just a lunar eclipse.

1 second.

“At the end of this time-.”

The tool that amplifies and manifests the Dark Knight’s natural power is .

The trait that I really want to bring out through it is [The Greatsword of Time].

“-Get lost!”

Jinseong swung his sword.

─────────────… … !!!!

0 seconds.

Breath did not reach the Noble Sky.

All those breaths that had been hovering in the air for a moment disappeared as if they were sucked into somewhere.

The sea at dusk turned pitch black.

No one on the Noble Sky understood.

Even the Apostle Anton could not understand the current situation.

The one who held the incomprehensible space was Jinseong.

A technique that only the Dark Knight can use, where all restrictions disappear and he can use infinite power.

The final awakening technique of the True Dark Knight, which can be used when all powers that transcend time and space are recovered according to the background setting.

Vivi muttered.

“……?”

After the True Dark Knight summons a rift in time in the space where he exists using the power of the Time Lord, he grabs the Greatsword of Time, the ultimate form of the Time Lord, and stops the flow of time for all but himself.

Afterwards, with a powerful blow that distorts space-time, he cuts down his enemy along with a rift in time, and the True Dark Knight disappears into the rift in time.

The space where the flow of time has stopped is distorted and shattered, and as it returns to its original time, the blow from the stopped time zone strikes the enemy.

When casting a skill, the Time Stop stack is fully charged, and all stacks are consumed to inflict damage equivalent to the 5th stage of the stack’s attack power.

I don’t know how Jinseong did it or why he was able to do it, but at least I knew his name.

Jinseong’s hands were now empty.

Not only was the that he had been holding just a moment ago gone, but the effect of the Greatsword of Time that he had been using with it had also ended.

There was only one thing left.

It was a smile on Jinseong’s lips.

He who has had light and knows the light, can make the darkness even darker.

“Time to end, Anton.”

The Dark Knight’s vision flashed as he found the time to end at the end of time.
