BXBX NOVEL Chapter 17
“Heuk, huk, heuk…”
The sound of breath about to be cut off.
The owner of that breath was Yoo Eun-chae.
She tied her crimson hair, reminiscent of twilight, back.
“D-Does this… have any meaning?!”
Yoo Eun-chae spoke with a dying voice. I just nodded silently and breathed.
“Of course. Everything requires physical strength.”
“No, still!”
“But you’re still weak, aren’t you? They won’t ask you to climb a cliff bare-handed, and they won’t send you back if you’re late, right?”
“I’m not a person…”
Yoo Eun-chae spoke in a low voice.
“You don’t seem to understand the importance of stamina. Do you know what the Ice Ascension technique is?”
“It’s a magic that freezes concepts.”
Without hesitation, she answered my question.
“A fraudulent magic, uh, it’s also a way to win. It extracts an enormous amount of damage from ice magic with debuffs, and why is the crowd control so long? It’s also a legendary fraudulent magic that greatly reduces magic resistance in a subject like that, hoo.”
Yoo Eun-chae mumbled nonsense.
But she explains well while struggling to catch her breath.
“Stop! If you do anything weirder, I’ll die…”
The use of informal language is evident.
But since she pushed her body to its limits, it must be true.
“Enough, take a break.”
Yoo Eun-chae sat down on the ground.
She’s out of breath.
As I continued to watch the new disciple with a click of my tongue, I started moving again.
“Your stamina has increased by 1.”
“Your mana has increased by 1.”
Because my abilities were steadily increasing.
‘It’s really an absurd amount of power.’
I couldn’t help but laugh.
My body may be weary, but this level of pain is nothing.
“Wow….”
“Why are you looking at me with such disgusted eyes?”
“Aren’t you tired?”
“It’s damn exhausting.”
“But you’re still smiling.”
I reached up to feel my mouth with my hand.
Just as Yoo Eun-chae said, I was indeed smiling.
‘Well, it’s amusing.’
Each time I’m reborn, my body resets completely.
Each time that happens, I feel like…..
‘It’s like raising a new character with the things I polished in my past life.’
I may be a little tired now, teaching my disciples.
But this was originally my nature.
If I’m weak, I’ll find a way to forge ahead.
If I’m strong, I won’t settle and will strive for maximum efficiency.
After stretching my body, Yoo Eun-chae was fiddling with a bead.
“What’s that?”
“Ah, is this a bead that allows you to learn skills?”
“…Learn skills?”
What on earth is this talking about?
“They said you’re going to learn skills today.”
“That’s right.”
“Skills are nothing special. In places like gates or dungeons, you can obtain them by killing enemies with these beads.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, these beads contain skills. In simple terms, you can learn ‘skills’ spoken in a game-like manner.”
Come to think of it, there was something like that.
Skills excluding innate abilities.
I heard that it’s something you can ‘acquire’ without going through the process of learning.
“I want to experience it at least once.”
As if knowing my thoughts, they offered me the bead of skills.
“Do you want to learn?”
“Isn’t it something you need?”
“No, I just picked it up. It’s like a bonus. It’s not too expensive. Around a million won?”
“How do you use this?”
“Just touch and break the bead.”
“Like this?”
Snap.
The bead shattered, and a message window appeared.
《You have obtained the skill ‘Slash(E).’》
“So you’ve learned it.”
“How do I use this?”
“You can either silently shout the name of the skill in your mind or hold the intention to use the skill.”
Upon Yu Eunchae’s words, I raised the dagger and shouted the name of the skill.
‘Slash.’
My body began to move on its own accord.
《Unique attribute, ‘Eternity,’ is imbued with your magical power.》
《The functionality of ‘Slash(E)’ is enhanced!》
I could’ve stopped, but I decided to test my skills with a sense of curiosity.
Zing- Strange power began to infuse the dagger.
I swung it towards a nearby tree.
Swooosh-
The trunk of the tree was cleanly severed.
I looked at the dagger.
The energy that had changed its nature in the beginning still lingered on the dagger.
“It’s fascinating. Normally, skills are one-time use.”
“It’s the power of the iron’s magic.”
“Oh?”
“I infused my mana into the sword, transforming it into iron-attributed magic. No, rather than calling it iron-attributed magic, it’s more accurate to say it’s ‘magic possessing the attribute of the sword.’”
He contemplates as he penetrates Cheonan.
In an instant, a different magic emerges.
With my unique characteristic, the eternal magic that Yeong-eop possesses is imbued.
“I apply sword-attributed magic. In the process, I forcefully overlaid my mana on the subject without changing its nature.”
The concept is overlaying.
Unfortunately, I don’t possess either iron-attributed magic or sword-attributed magic.
Uwung!
The sword began to emit its name. The sword’s attribute. I remember the sensation.
The problem comes next.
‘I’ve learned the structure of the skill.’
He observes the movement of mana.
It’s an interesting power.
Among the abilities I’ve seen so far, I’ve never seen such ‘nonsensical ability.’
‘It’s almost like a forced authority.’
There is no process.
It simply projects the results.
With just one bead, it might acquire a power that could surpass magic or martial arts.
This ability, called the status window, forces the user.
It only makes the user move according to the rules they’ve set for themselves.
As if becoming a god themselves.
“I don’t like it.”
A laugh escaped involuntarily.
I don’t like this method.
Well then.
If I destroy it my own way, that’s the end of it.
“Oh, teacher?”
I looked at the dagger with a brighter smile than anyone else.
I observe a faint aura.
I observe the structure of magic.
I dismantle.
I prepare to cut off unnecessary parts and eliminate them.
But soon, I became perplexed.
“It’s not there?”
There are hardly any unnecessary steps.
The power that strengthens humans on Earth in the most efficient way has no unnecessary parts.
Assuming the subject is an ordinary person.
As if countless beings conducted research and produced the end result.
This is a complete ability in and of itself.
“They’re truly a bunch with nothing better to do.”
Those beings, inferior to me, but capable enough to mock lesser kingdoms, have gathered their strength.
With that, they crafted this ‘skill.’
Thus, these are complete.
No matter what is added, the insignificant will only crumble.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Crack!
The skill dismantles.
It collapses the structure.
If the structure of the skill is said to be a circle.
The most perfectly crafted circle starts to warp and shatter.
“My way.”
It alters everything.
The structure of mana, its nature, its function.
Dismantles them meticulously, dons them with other things.
This, in itself, is perfect.
It’s not a matter of grades.
Those adept in abilities, descendants of geniuses, gathered and created the most ‘introductory’ skill.
Kigigigigik!
The dagger began to scream. Yoo Eun-chae’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she gazed at the dagger.
“What would be best.”
Simple cutting.
Iron attribute magic. Sword attribute magic.
Those two are not my own power.
They are powers created by infusing them in some way.
“There’s nothing I can’t follow.”
It’s not something I’m familiar with.
It’s just frustrating.
Both have their own strengths, but they are not as good as other things.
That’s why.
The celestial attribute magic and eternal attribute magic that I originally possessed.
“Or magic.”
There were many things that came to mind.
The celestial attribute magic is the most efficient magic.
A magic that I could only use in the early stages of my previous life.
The eternal attribute magic is a flame that embraces everything. This also doesn’t suit me.
The divine attribute magic is a magic that should never be used at this stage.
So, first of all.
“The celestial attribute magic.”
The characteristic of cutting that dissects thoroughly.
Erasing the magic of the sword attribute.
In accordance with that, the characteristic of slashing began to change.
《Attribute, Slashing (E) structure is reversed.》
《Attribute, Slashing (E) falls to rank E-.》
‘As expected.’
This characteristic.
It was designed to be able to be grown.
Doubt turned into certainty.
‘Dismantle.’
Dismantle the attribute. And infused magic into that place.
Wuung!
Heart.
Commonly known as a hiatus.
The magical formation of the Moonlight Ice Heaven emitted from there.
As the extreme negative energy spewed out,
《Proficiency of Slashing (E) increases!》
《Slashing (E) evolves into Frostblade (D)!》
Crackling!!
A transformation occurs. Frost begins to form at the upper part of the sword.
The boundless cold power of Yin reveals itself.
It’s about the nature of “Beogi.”
“What, what? No way, did you really evolve the nature?”
“Interesting.”
It’s still just granting attributes.
Breaking the structure. However, there’s an immediate rise in grade.
I don’t feel like someone is watching me.
That means.
“Is it because they created an AI-like existence?”
Then, I guess I should be grateful.
Because there’s no need to receive the strange gazes of random things, you know.
Clearing my conscience, I reached out my hand.
I transformed the structure aligned with the magic power of the sword attribute. My way.
Added the eternal attribute to the place where I infused the magic of the Spell of Eternal Frost.
《Unique trait, Eternal, is imbued with your magic.》
《The magic of the eternal attribute is imbued into the Ice Sword. Proficiency of the Ice Sword (D) increases!》
《Ice Sword (D) evolves into Frost Sword (C)!》
Shhh!
The upper part of the sword flashes with a blue light.
“Not enough.”
This can evolve further.
However, I included what I could.
Other things disrupt the balance.
‘No.’
From Noble mtl dot com
I infused my mana.
The mana of the original celestial attribute that I possessed.
Infusing mana, I break down the mana. The attributes of the sky embrace.
Sunlight, moonlight, and thunder.
I erased the sunlight. I erased the thunder.
Only the attribute of the moon began to take root completely.
《The moonlight’s mana seeps into the Frostblade. Proficiency of the Frostblade (C) increases!》
《Frostblade (C) evolves into Moonlit Blade (B)!》
‘Rather than a blade.’
I just needed strength.
I mastered everything, but among them, the most fitting was the enemy’s aura.
Mana flows according to my will. It twists the structure and shatters it.
The original form remains, but.
If someone recognizes and sees this, even finding traces would be difficult, it has transformed to that extent.
‘Now, what’s left is.’
Modifying it so that I can use it.
The black is good, but my true martial arts start from the body.
“《The Proficiency of the Moonlit Sword (B) increases!》
《The Moonlit Sword (B) evolves into Moonlight Sword (A)!》
Shoaaa─.
The blue light fades away, replaced by a milky white color.
The power of moonlight and coldness intertwines, imbuing the dagger with a Moonlight-like energy.
‘I’ve obtained something useful as a substitute for a sword.’
“What, what have you done?”
“Analysis.”
And enhancement.
It’s a simple story.
There were many shortcomings in its characteristics, and I have the ability to enhance them.
As I explained it briefly, Yoo Eunchae looked at me with a bewildered expression.
“Are you really doing that?”
“I asked that because I thought it was unlikely for anyone to have done it until now.”
“Well, yes. No one has done it until now. Well, that person only managed to raise one grade, though.”
If this isn’t it- Yoo Eunchae made a puzzled expression.
“Hmm…”
But upon closer reflection, it’s not surprising.
‘The system seems to be something only given to Earthlings.’
If a person from the martial arts or magic world had received the system, it would have been known long ago.”
‘Unpleasant.’
The utility inherent in the concept of a system cannot be denied.
But the feeling that it is somehow close to ‘domestication’ is perhaps a misconception.
“I’d rather experiment with this than that.”
“What’s the rank of its traits?”
“A-rank.”
“…Really?!”
Yoo Eun-chae looked at me in astonishment.
“You made an A-rank in one go?”
“The wording feels a bit strange.”
The ability to create an A-rank was entirely due to the power of the Moonlight Ice Pavilion.
Moonlight Ice Pavilion.
It was one of the strengths I had accumulated until now.
That’s why I could raise the rank in one go.
‘Rather, it’s more unsatisfactory that it’s only A-rank.’
If this level of power is A-rank,
The value of S-rank might be even greater than I thought.
I looked at the status window and gazed at the moonlight.
Ding.
──────────────────────
「Moonlight (A)」
Embodied with the essence and mystique of the moon.
: The essence and mystique of the moon embrace you.
: All stats +5
──────────────────────
Is it really like this?
‘It feels like my body has become lighter.’
Stats increase as you create skills.
“Would you like to try an experiment?”
“Experiment?”
“Yes!”
I gazed at Moonlight.
I have a rough idea of how this skill will flow.
‘It seems like this guy knows what he wants to see.’
How about showing the dignity of a master for once?
