[As a special reward, you have been granted the A-grade skillbook Super Regeneration.]
A brilliant blue light flashed before Shin Yu-hyun's eyes, and a small book materialized.
It was a skillbook that granted the A-grade Super Regeneration ability.
Jackpot.
Shin Yu-hyun broke into a satisfied smile.
The A-grade skill Super Regeneration.
As expected, Tristan possessed this tremendous recovery skill.
Super Regeneration rapidly restored both vitality and mana. Unless it was a fatal wound close to instant death, there was no dying from it.
And with mana recovery sped up as well, it opened the door to even more varied tactics.
Plus, being a skillbook, he could sell it for billions.
And I've stockpiled a ton of Soul Points too.
He'd taken down around 300 Triton magic beasts, plus a 3-star mid-boss and a 4-star named unique boss.
That had netted him a whopping 970 Soul Points.
Combined with what he already had, it pushed him over 1,000.
More than enough to hit 4-star. The rest can go toward upgrading the Skeleton Soldiers.
Shin Yu-hyun scanned the white sand beach.
Nearly 300 Triton corpses littered the area.
Magic cores left by the 3-star beasts dotted the ground here and there.
Ka-mang-i had crawled around gobbling some up, but plenty remained.
"Dia."
"Yessir, comin' right up~."
Dia came scampering over at Shin Yu-hyun's call, mid-cleanup.
"Got everything?"
"Pretty much, yeah~."
Dia was directing the Skeleton Soldiers to erase all traces of the battle.
And instead of Ka-mang-i transporting 100 Skeleton Soldiers via Shadow Storage, Dia was handling the magic cores and Triton corpses.
She had her own subspatial storage skill for items and gear, after all.
"Got it. Let's head back once you're done."
"Roger~."
Shin Yu-hyun planned to leave before other superhumans or Hunters arrived.
In his previous life, Incheon Airport had suffered massive damage from a dungeon stampede.
The Tritons had infiltrated stealthily in the dead of night, delaying detection.
By the time the stampede hit and people realized, Hunters rushed in too late.
With two bosses and 300 Tritons, the destruction was inevitable.
At least it happened at night, limiting civilian casualties—that was the only consolation.
But this life was different.
Shin Yu-hyun had intercepted them on the coast before they reached the airport.
Still, the massive commotion might draw investigators soon.
So he wanted out before then.
He had no intention of broadcasting what happened here.
At least until I find Shuv. Gotta keep my power hidden.
If this got out, it could spell trouble.
The clan might learn he had necromancer summoning abilities.
And this world had villains with immense power.
Until he could fully wield the Immortal King's strength, drawing their attention was the last thing he needed.
At least until he hit 4-star and found Shuv, one of the Seven Arcs.
"Master! All done~!"
Dia shouted as Shin Yu-hyun pondered, cleanup finished.
"Then let's go."
"Yup!"
Dia nodded cutely at his words.
With everything more or less sorted, Shin Yu-hyun returned to the clan.
He could check the spoils later.
Shin Yu-hyun slipped back into the clan undetected.
Dia and Ka-mang-i's Shadow Stealth extended to him, fooling everyone.
Dawn soon?
A few hours until sunrise.
Too awkward to sleep again, and eager to check spoils and hit 4-star, he headed to the Black Tortoise Hall's underground training ground.
As always, he asked Dia for a barrier, then eyed the loot.
3-star and 4-star magic cores. A random treasure chest. And the A-grade Super Regeneration skillbook.
Treasure chest first?
He gazed at the one from slaying 4-star named unique boss Tristan.
The one from Izard had yielded A-grade skillbook Split Thought.
What would this bring? Excitement built.
"Mana Essence?"
Shin Yu-hyun examined the item from the chest.
Another jackpot.
A grin spread across his face.
Exceptional Rare-grade Mana Essence.
A 5-star spiritual medicine higher than Mana Heart—exactly what he needed most.
Skillbook first.
He planned to learn A-grade Super Regeneration.
It was a cheat skill; no dying unless instantly killed.
Shin Yu-hyun opened the Super Regeneration skillbook.
"Hm."
A tingling sensation pierced his body, imprinting the skill.
Low proficiency meant modest recovery now.
But with repeated use in battle, it would become monstrous.
Alright then...
He checked his status window.
Chakra: 60 Dominance: 42
Soul Points: 1010
Plenty of stored Soul Points.
Dark Soul Eater had absorbed Triton souls with their fishy stench, but watching points fill made it bearable.
Total: 1,010 Soul Points.
Just 1 point shy of 4-star Chakra.
Save Mana Essence for after 4-star.
4-star Chakra upgrades cost more points than 3-star.
Better to absorb post-breakthrough.
Without hesitation, he spent 200 Soul Points to raise Chakra by 1.
A flash!
Golden light unique to 3-gate Chakra Manipura erupted from his body.
"Hm."
With the 3-gate unlock message, his solar plexus felt pierced open.
Now with gates 1 through 3 open, immense mana flowed from perineum through lower dantian to solar plexus.
"So this is Chakra's power."
Each gate felt potent, but incomparable to regular superhuman breakthroughs—mana surged beyond peers.
Even now, mana from the three gates filled his body.
"Master! Congrats on 4-star~!"
Dia rushed over, sensing the change.
"Thanks."
He smiled, petting her head.
Kyuu! >_<
Ka-mang-i followed, climbing with an emoticon-like face.
"Ka-mang-i too."
He petted its head on his shoulder.
Now 4-star, tasks piled up.
Enchant Skeleton Soldiers' bone gear with options.
Fuse 4-star boss into Undead Deathwatch Hecaton Beetle Kairon.
Absorb the Mana Essence.
And above all...
"Time to find Sister Shuv~!"
Track down Shuv of the Seven Arcs.
Dia had said 4-star was required.
"Yeah, once we're ready."
He stroked her sparkling eyes fondly.
Start with Kairon.
Shin Yu-hyun summoned his 3-star Undead Deathwatch Hecaton Beetle Kairon.
"Dia, pull out the boss corpse."
"Yup."
She retrieved 4-star named unique boss Tristan from her shadow.
Torn from Skeleton Soldiers' self-destructs, but viable for fusion.
A flash!
Black light burst from the summoned Kairon.
Moments later, the fusion-evolved form emerged.
This is...
Shin Yu-hyun's eyes widened in shock.
At 4-star, he could fuse 3-star Kairon with a 4-star boss.
Using fresh Tristan yielded this.
And evolution brought multiple S-grade unique skills.
Turning into a real monster.
He chuckled inwardly.
Kairon's size grew slightly.
From 3.5 meters horn-to-tail, now over 4 meters.
Now, absorb the Mana Essence?
He eyed the droplet-shaped Mana Essence.
Strengthen Skeleton Soldiers after.
Sitting cross-legged, he popped it in his mouth.
Tasty.
Rich chocolate flavor.
Savoring it, he circulated Chakra Cultivation Method, entering a trance.
That morning.
Preparations complete, Shin Yu-hyun turned to Dia.
"Now, let's go find Shuv."
"Yup!"
She nodded cutely.
And Dia took him to an outrageous place to find Shuv.
