[Skill Book - Shadow Wall, Active]

Grade: C

Effect: Allows the user towalls as a shadow for 1 minute

“Ooh!”

“h it was just a low-grade skill and only had a duration of 1 minute, it was still a useful ability

“In other words, it gives you the unique ability of the wall mantises,” Seo Jun-Ho noted

“It would be useful for assassination or for eavesdropping,” the Frost Queen remarked

[Do you wish to learn ‘Shadow Wall?’]

“Yes”

[You have learned a new skill ‘Shadow Wall(C)’]

[You possess a higher-grade ability of the sauard of Darkness (S)’]

[Skill couard of Darkness’ to absorb ‘Shadow Wall’?]

“? Seo Jun-Ho blinked It was the first tirade ability of the sauard of Darkness to absorb Shadow Wall? What does this mean?”

Seo Jun-Ho was confused It was his first ti in such a situation The Frost Queen wasn’t part of the Player syste blankly

The only one that offered an opinion was ‘Keen Intuition’ Seo Jun-Ho’s te at its owner’s clothes

It told him to combine theone along with Keen Intuition without a second thought, but this tiuard of Darkness is a of Specter and was no different fro the skills ether?

‘I can’t let that happen’

Besides, Keen Intuition had been incorrect o Seo Jun-Ho wasn’t sure if he could trust it

ain as if Keen Intuition was telling his were different this time

[Would you like an explanation of Skill co?]

“ to the System’s polite offer

[Unless a unique skill can inherently facilitate Skill co, there is only one case in which it is possible]

[That is when two skills possessing the same attribute or effect are acquired]

[In the case that Skill corade skill will be absorbed into the higher-grade skill]

[The lower-grade skill will disappear, but its associated effects willto the effects of the higher-grade skill, the effects of the lower-grade skill thened]

“hly read over the explanation several tiet it!” The Frost Queen clapped her hands together “Contractor In other words, if you combine the skills, Shadow Wall (C) will disappear,” she explained

“But I’ll still have the ability to travel across walls if I use Watchguard of Darkness”

“In the end, you will not lose anything if you combine the skills, correct?”

“Now that you say that, yeah”

Keen Intuition pushed its opinion again Its actions were ood choice according to both the System’s explanation and Frost’s analysis’ </e therade skill, the effects of the lower-grade skill thened,’ stood out to hiuard of Darkness is affiliated with darkness, which is known as the most powerful elerade skill And if Shadow Wall was consuets strengthened, but it won’t get weakened either’

Seo Jun-Ho … accept”

[Skill coe that appeared It felt anticlimactic and almost felt pointless

“I-is that all?” The Frost Queenquite disappointed

But Seo Jun-Ho’s reaction was different

‘I can feel it’

He could feel a new sensation, one that he had been chasing after for the last 26 years

“Watchguard of Darkness,” he whispered Shadows bloomed from his body

“Isn’t it still the same?” the Frost Queen asked As she said, the effects of the skill were still the sa In the next moment, Seo Jun-Ho’s flesh and blood melted into darkness and rose into the air His body had successfully become a shadow

“ in the air spoke in Seo Jun-Ho’s familiar voice

ic, his body returned to norht? You became a shadow…!”

“Of course I a off “I’ up”

Even back when he had been the most powerful Player in the world, he had always been thirsting forhimself up to the next level

“Back then, I looked for a way to improve Shadow Step” He could hide all his sounds, appearance, traces, and presence… But he wanted to become pure darkness Only then would Shadow Step be perfected “But turning my body into a shadoas impossibly hard”

Darkness wasn’t liquid like water, gas like wind, or solid like the earth It was simply a phenomenon The only way that hu all surrounding sources of light

“I failed…”

If he wanted to arrive at a certain destination, he had to know the way there At the very least, he had to knohich direction to go But back then, Seo Jun-Ho knew nothing

“I consulted faists, physicists, particle physicists, and theorists… and even philosophers I gathered all sorts of scholars into a single lecture room to consult them”

About how he could become darkness…

At that, all those world-renowned scholars had becoe freshave up… But I didn’t know that I’d get it like this” Seo Jun-Ho let out an ah He shouldn’t think like this, but he wished that shi+m Deok-Gu would hurry up and contact hi for the fiends on the 1st floor

‘Ah, I wonder if I could find a fiend hideout on the 1st floor or so’

All he could think about was how much he wanted to hunt fiends with his newfound ability
