Lee s.h.i.+n Woo mercilessly attacked the Lightning Shadow General, whose entire body was frozen stiff; by the end of it, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo managed to pierce through his neck and kill him without dying once.
[I am... His Majesty...]
”Shadow Horn!”
[Kahak!]
He thought it might be a bit cowardly, but he nonetheless blew him away as the airborne ice crystals evaporated. Since the result is all that mattered! And the result that appeared right after was...
[You have hunted a member of the 12 generals, the Lv7 Lightning Shadow General, Hansen Von Dorthe. All contributing heroes acquire 30,000,000 Perium, and all stats increase by 100. You have acquired 10 permits to G.o.d's secret shop. Proficiency in all combat related skills has increased dramatically!]
[The Intermediate Bursting Thunder skill has become Lv9. Strength and Magic have increased by 10.]
[The Intermediate Mana Bone skill has become Lv9. Magic has increased by 10.]
[The Intermediate Shadow Horn skill has become Lv4. All stats have increased by 6.]
[The Intermediate Command skill has become Lv9. All stats have increased by 3.]
...
...
[Intermediate Ice has become Lv4. Magic has increased by 5.]
[The Element Absorption skill has become Lv2. Magic has increased by 10. You can more effectively absorb energy from the elements that you possess.]
There was a stream of messages that appeared! All the skills that he used in battle, as well as those he hadn't used in battle, leveled up instantaneously for no other reason than the fact that he had defeated one of the 12 generals.
The amount of stats he'd garnered from defeating the general, as well as the stats from his skill level ups, was enough to make his head hurt. But wasn't this good for him? There were still some messages remaining, notifying him of his growth.
[You are an excellent example of a Joker! Even in a situation without allies, you faced a variety of enemies and managed to incite them and trick them; in the end, you won 'fair and square'! All stats have increased by 20. The Joker karma has become even stronger. The Joker's innate skills have grown.]
Accompanying this message was a notification that his Acting skill leveled up to level 16, as well as his Disguise skill leveling up by two, up to level 6. He knew just how much these skills changed whenever they leveled up and was surprised, almost gaping in response.
But thinking about it carefully, a general had stood upon his stage, so he should obviously gain this much.
[You have received G.o.d's grace. The Invisible Heart skill's maximum level has increased by 10.]
His achievement was rounded off by a present from G.o.d. When he thought about it, the quest he'd received from G.o.d, which was the quest to hunt undead heroes, increased the maximum level of Invisible Heart as well, but he'd only killed one undead hero (he'd fought against two of them, but he made one of them into his subordinate). This time, the maximum level of Invisible Heart had increased by 10, to a total of 111.
”So this means that my lives have increased by 11, huh...”
He thought about it suddenly, and realized that G.o.d's blessing was truly amazing! Lee s.h.i.+n Woo recognized that G.o.d rarely did things out of the kindness of her heart, and just decided to be happy about it.
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo nodded his head, as Kratia and Jin danced with joy from beside him. Though they weren't rewarded as much as him, he could tell that they were rewarded based on their contributions. But then, Jin suddenly yelled.
”s.h.i.+n Woo, I'm going to level up!”
”Ah, alright. It's not dangerous here anymore, so take your time.”
Jin had barely not reached level 6, and had acquired hundreds of stats as a reward from this battle, so it would be even stranger if he couldn't level up!
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo vacantly watched as Jin was engulfed in a sphere of light and leveled up, whilst he neatly picked up the loot the Lightning Shadow General had left behind with his own two hands. To be honest, the Lightning Shadow General was considered an intermediate boss, so he thought it'd be nice if he dropped a bundle of loot, but it was quite cold-hearted.
[You have acquired 15,230,550 Perium.]
[You have acquired the Bayran inner map.]
[You have acquired the Lv5 Divine Lightning Sword. Through Bone Reinforcement, the item transforms. You have acquired the Lv5 Thunder Claw (+5).]
[You have acquired the Lv7 Lightning Shadow General, Hansen Von Dorthe's wrist bone.]
Other than that, he saw an item that looked to be a bracelet possessing tremendous magic. However, Kratia had come over when he called without any complaints and had not only helped with the mission but had also contributed towards defeating the Lightning General, so he decided that this would be part of Kratia's share.
”This is a magic reinforcement accessory! It's extremely rare!”
”Ah, was it? I thought he specialized in close combat, yet his magic was really high.”
As he thought, leaving that piece of loot as part of her share made her really happy. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo asked if she wanted him to change it through Bone Reinforcement, but she firmly shook her head. Yep, Kratia was someone who didn't like taking risks.
”Hoo, it seemed possible, but we really beat one of the 12 generals... I knew it, if you're there, everything becomes dynamic, s.h.i.+n Woo.
”My existence is dynamic, so it can't be helped.”
Kratia giggled and said. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo replied uninterested and examined the last remaining pieces of loot in his hands.
First, the Bayran inner map seemed to detail secret pa.s.sageways and facilities within some inner city, but he didn't know where Bayran was or what it was, so he stored it into his inventory for now.
However, the rest was amazing.
”As expected, once they become a general, they have to be carrying a level 5 weapon.”
”Ah, this bracelet is level 6, though.”
”Please trade.”
”Don't want to.”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo suddenly felt regretful. However, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo used lightning, so even if she did accept his offer, he would have to back out.
The original Divine Lightning Sword, and now the Lightning Claw was definitely a treasure that would make the lightning lethal. He felt slightly burdened, as Kratia watched with bright eyes, yet he absorbed it without delay.
[Recording the Lv5 Thunder Claw (+5)'s information into the Bone Armory. Strength and Magic have increased by 20. The Lightning Tooth and the Thunder Claw's information have been mixed and have become a new weapon!]
”Huuuh!?”
The moment Lee s.h.i.+n Woo absorbed the Thunder Claw, he sensed an intense change within his insides, or more specifically Bone Armory, and shook.
Of course, it would be lying to say that he wasn't looking forward to this. He'd absorbed another lightning element weapon, so if both of those weapons supplemented each other, he thought it might create a greater weapon.
'But to think it would mix the two weapons' info and create an entirely new weapon... Kuuuuuu.'
Bone Armory wasn't something separate from Lee s.h.i.+n Woo; it was an equipment storehouse within his body. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo felt a huge migraine coming on due to the intense reaction going on inside. His health, magic, and all of his skills were involved in creating this new weapon.
Countless information that came from the outside would be combined, and ultimately, a weapon only he could wield would be created. One wouldn't be able to understand it at all from looking from the outside, but what he was doing was akin to a blacksmith's work!
'When I think about it, something like this happened before.'
