For about a week, Sae-Jin searched for every scrap of information there was for the Lycan
There was a total of three cri to what he found, all the bodies discovered were maimed horrifically as if a wild aniht that… this was not the work of a copycat
Everything was in doubt
The continuously growing height The sharply-changing facial structure And the crimes of Lycan which he could not re slowly taken over by the Monster Form?!’
Definitely, the power balance of all five Forms within his body had been seriously out of whack for a while now
Specifically, ever since acquiring the beast’s heart through absorbing the Werewolf’s Mana Stone, the Wolf side had becoer than the others After all, he could now throith a upper Mid Tier Knight quite easily in that Form
”Haaa…”
Sae-Jin hugged his head that ached so rey light of the dawn’s ht seemed so sinister for so the Wolf For to stick with the Goblin, Orc and the Hu for less than three hours a day
To lose his own self, even it was only for a bit - he found such a notion as an uniood possibility that the full moon had the most effect on him, of course But his current state of mind was too unstable to consider such points yet
”Fck this”
He even swore out loudly at this difficult problely had no answers as he hit his own head
On top of this, there were only 30on his Human Form
Only now had he realised that the Human Mode in the Wolf Form was not truly a ‘human’ He remembered that ti a Va Ki on its own volition
”For a while…”
I should not use the Ebony Wolf Form
Sae-Jin decided thus
That would reduce the total amount of time he could remain as a human to around five hours but, it was stillhimself fro that was… not hu it His beard had grown somewhat, all thick and bushy-like
But he was never the type where lots of beard grew naturally…
”SFX for gagging noise”
As soon as his thoughts reached there, he felt nauseous all of a sudden, and ran to the bathroo of late, only the dull-yellow sto time, and then stood before the washbasin
”…”
The face in the mirror was similar to Kim Sae-Jin’s; but at the saht have made a mistake as his mind was not completely healthy at the moment
But no matter what, the sharp eyes and the thick jaws…
They totally resembled a wolf
At first, when the ruy and Mana began to circulate, the public as well as the’s empty bark not even worthy to be called a rumour
An artifact was difficult to ic-related industry was that a h level of ic effect on an iteht of as nothing but hot air - the Knights of the Raven Order ended up proving as truth
”So, this is… that artifact?”
Currently, this was the 1st Class training facility of the Raven Knights Order Most Knights Orders had divided training facilities according to the rankings Rather obviously, the higher the ranking was, the better the training equipment provided
Wizards affiliated with the ‘Dae-Han’ Wizard Toere busy exa the doll-type artifact placed inside this facility (TL: the word Dae-Han actually comes from the first two letters of the Republic of Korea’s Korean naht tasked with showing these Wizards around was actually feeling rather nervous at thethe doll or stuff like that
One could say, this was a case of the so-called reversal of fortunes This doll, Athany, was left forgotten on the shelves of the 4th Class training facility, or sometimes even, thrown around and discarded on the floor
But now, the very sa pretty in the ic-reinforced glass case Now, it was being treated with ut into one of the Raven’s treasures
”Excuse me… Can you step back for a bit there? I think Athany is a little afraid of you”
”………”
Wizards all showed disbelieving faces, but they still did as told and moved away
”It’s really faint, but there definitely is a strange aura co off of it When did you first notice this doll’s effects?”
”It hasn’t been long Has it been a week? At first, we left this doll by the 4th Class training facility and nobody paid attention to it, but then, the efficiency of lower ranked Knights began to ian to train for three hours or more, when two used to be their limit And the rate of their Mana recovery was also abnor facility”
At that revelation, Wizards’ lips went 'O' shaped as they exclaihtly Just from the words alone, wasn’t the effects just wonderful?
”And there were no noticeable changes in the Mana Spring?”
”That’s correct Finding this event strange, we took a measure facility and found that the recovery rate there was higher than the 1st Class facility And that’s e discovered the doll’s effects as we investigated the cause of this change”
”Hmmmm…”
A Wizardto their estimates, the story was that this doll possessed abilities to aid in recovering Mana as well as one’s energy
However, these two recovery abilities were expensive enough to be only found added to high-class wearable accessories To his knowledge, there hadn’t been a way invented yet to let the effects permeate around like an aura…
”I heard the Dawn also received this doll as a gift… But why are they re silent over this matter?”
”They tend to ood stuff, don’t they Most likely, they realised the effects well before we have Just that, they are keeping their lance at the doll
He thought that, when the clueless governe artifact, they asting their time once more… But honestly now, he really wanted to dissect that doll Of course, considering its effects, it should be incredibly expensive, but if he could just find out what its secrets were, then…
”You can not”
The Wizard was blocked the ht shi+ning in those eyes The Wizard let out a fake cough and then in a serious tone, asked, ”Keheum How much did you say it was?”
”From what I hear, you can’t buy it even if you wanted to”
”…As expected, then It should be impossible to mass manufacture an artifact like this”
”Yep And with the situation as is, where even the news outlets have reported on the doll’s proven effects, not only the local organizations but even the international bodies have apparently lodged requests for purchase to ‘The Monster’ Society as well”
The Wizard nodded his head Obviously, stories related to this doll were trending big time in overseas social iving out any replies yet That’s why besides the Dawn and us, no other Knights Order possesses this doll”
”So, that’s hoas?”
”Yes Thanks to this ‘shortage’, I hear that the lower ranked Orders are apparently burning in useless coht to become the next owner of Athany, or stuff like that…”
The Wizards present chuckled slightly at that
Knights Orders and their Knights - from the point of view of these Wizards, they were the types that becaot to know theht?”
”Yeah I’m fine”
Since histhe phone calls from other people inadvertently
But hisable to welcome the fact that there was someone worried about him
– ”But why didn’t you answer your phone until now?”
Yu Sae-Jung asked hiot occupied You also know, right? How our e phenomenon”
He heard about this from Hazeline yesterday
A doll-type artifact that aided with the recovery of Mana and energy
He heard that both the Knights Orders and Wizard Toere going mad with desire as soon as Athany’s effects were proved Which was understandable, as they were obsessed with Mana - obsessed enough to spend tens ofand further hundreds of thousands just in its upkeep annually
Hazeline added that several overseas Knights Orders and corporations had inquired directly about the Magic Tattoos and the Athany dolls via the Korean govern the Athany dolls? If you got any, we’ll buy them all We’ll more than adequately satisfy your demands”
”Ah, that… Later I’ll let you know later”
For now, he didn’t want to think about the coo, soave hi the Athany doll issue It seehts Order had requested for a serious …
– ”Huh? Oh… I understand So, by th…”
”Right I’ up now”
– ”NO, WAIT!! Stop!! Hey, DON’T HANG UP!!”
As he was about to end the call, Yu Sae-Jung suddenly screamed at him from the other side of the line
”…What’s the matter now?”
– ”Why do you keep on hanging up in the s left to say, you know!! Seriously…”
She sounded genuinely ticked off
”Ah, uy who used to do 2-3 part tis fast without delay Now that he thought about it, cost heavens
– ”Fuu… We, uh… haven’t seen each other in a while, right?”
”… Oh, you ”
