Sun Moon Spirit Pill
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Heavy footsteps echoed in Jin-su’s ears.
At the same time, giants with green skin reaching 5 meters in height revealed their appearances one by one.
“Is that the giant race?”
“Enormous size.”
Shin Su-a and Cheon Mu-seong made surprised expressions seeing the giant race for the first time. Since it is a monster never seen even once in the Tower, being surprised was natural.
‘Giant race.’
Actually, the giant race was not a monster that should appear on Floor 200. Although large monsters like trolls or ogres enter the subclassification of the giant race, there is a strict difference from the real giant race.
‘Like true dragons and sub dragons being different.’
The giant race possesses strength and speed surpassing large monsters and tough hide. But the most picky point when dealing with the giant race is...
‘That those guys’ intelligence is of a level similar to humans.’
Unlike monsters that are only at the level of dogs or dolphins even if saying they are smart, the giant race used their own independent language and was possible to not only use martial arts but also form formations and display joint attack techniques.
“aktdlTsms ajrdltrkaemfdl dhkTek! tksiddmf tlwkrgkwk!”
“Uwooooek!”
“wj dlsrksshaemfdmf wnrdufk!”
At the shout of the giant race that looks like the leader, 29 giant races rushed toward the Jin-su party.
“Th-they are speaking?”
One cannot understand what meaning it is. But the giant race clearly used ‘systematic language.’
“Lord, if interrogating those guys, we might be able to dig out the secret of the Tower.”
“Then let’s do it as capturing one alive.”
At Cheon Mu-seong’s words, Jin-su readily nodded. But the inner heart was different.
‘Even if capturing alive, there will be no meaning at all.’
Like players cannot understand the giant race’s words.
‘The giant race also cannot understand our words.’
Before regression, there were players who tried to converse with the giant race even while teaching writing or sign language, but all failed.
‘There was even a person who mastered the giant race’s language.’
Even so, conversation did not work.
‘Undead or true dragons were the same.’
Whatever form taken, no matter how long a time invested and efforts made, there was no meaning at all. Even if chatting in the same language, the language did not work. That was the same for writing or sign language.
‘It can only be explained that the system intentionally blocked communication between players and monsters.’
But even so, he could not tell that fact to Shin Su-a and Cheon Mu-seong now.
Jin-su believed in the party members Shin Su-a and Cheon Mu-seong. That is why he revealed the fact that he can use the skills of all classes and cross between holy type and dark type. However, he had no thought of revealing information related to the fact that he regressed.
‘The existence of the Blessing can be informed to trustworthy people.’
However, he had no thought of informing the fact that he obtained the Blessing by regressing.
“Kuwooooek!”
The giant race swung a huge axe.
“Nyaaaaang!”
Tak!
At that time, Leo who was on Jin-su’s shoulder rushed toward the giant race vigorously along with a cute roar. The giant race with a height of 5 meters ignored Leo of baby cat size rushing at him without even caring.
“Nyaang!”
The price of ignoring Leo as small was truly enormous.
Thud thud thud!
Leo’s nyang nyang punches that flew at enormous speed consecutively struck the giant race’s legs.
Kuuung!
The giant race knelt on the floor as if the legs gave out.
“zndnjr? dho gladl...”
At the moment the giant race made a puzzled expression.
Slash!
The Blood-Sucking Sword cleanly cut the giant race’s neck.
Tak!
Jin-su ran forward and swung the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword.
Slash! Splat!
The bodies of the giant race possessing tough muscles and tough skin and bones harder than steel were cut like a straw pile.
At the moment Jin-su rushed toward the giant race, Cheon Mu-seong also held the sword and shield and advanced forward while stepping elegant footwork.
Pagaak!
Cheon Mu-seong who blocked the giant race’s axe by twisting the shield swung the sword wrapped in pure white force.
Slash!
The pure white force cut the giant race’s ankle.
“dlsrksemf rkdgkek!”
“ahen whtlagofk! wj dlsrksemf rkdgkek!”
The giant races narrowed the distance between each other and formed a formation.
‘Still low level.’
Jin-su confirmed the composition of the surviving giant races. The number was also few, and the class system was only warriors. The giant races Jin-su dealt with before regression were a large army reaching thousands and tens of thousands.
‘The class composition was also all equipped with all class compositions of tanker, warrior, assassin, archer, mage, and healer.’
However, the giant races in front of Jin-su’s eyes now were only warrior single class, and the skills used or basic stats were also of a level far lower than the average of the giant race.
‘Is it natural since they appeared exceptionally in a Floor 200 hidden dungeon?’
Jin-su silently reduced the number of the giant races one by one. Although the giant races formed a qualified formation and strongly pushed using the force spewing from the huge bodies, they could not block Jin-su, Cheon Mu-seong, and Leo.
“zmdmr! wj duwkfkeh wnrdu!”
The gazes of the giant races concentrating on Jin-su, Cheon Mu-seong, and Leo all turned to Shin Su-a at once.
Thud thud thud!
One giant race rushed toward Shin Su-a.
Whoosh!
At the moment the giant race swung the axe.
Pagaak!
The Stone Golem that was playing the guard role blocked the front of the giant race. Stone powder flew, and the Stone Golem’s body gradually crumbled. Although the level rose a lot until now and received all kinds of buffs, the Stone Golem did not have the capacity to block the giant race.
However, only buying a little time was sufficient.
Whiririk!
Slash!
Because in the meantime, the force whip Jin-su threw cut the giant race’s neck as is. Other giant races could not approach Shin Su-a. Because Cheon Mu-seong who put the shield forward somehow blocked the path going to Shin Su-a.
“Krureuk!”
“Uwaaaak!”
The giant races let out bizarre cries and roughly resisted. However, under the attacks of Jin-su, Cheon Mu-seong, and Leo, the number decreased one by one.
Kuuuung!
The last remaining one giant race rolled on the floor powerlessly.
“Keueueu!”
The last giant race that was hit by Leo’s nyang nyang punches and then had some stats and skills taken and even arms and legs severed. Although all combat ability was lost, the breath was attached.
“I will interrogate.”
Cheon Mu-seong stepped forward, and Jin-su did not particularly stop him.
“Can you understand my words?”
Cheon Mu-seong spoke to the giant race and tried simple body language. However, the giant race could not understand Cheon Mu-seong’s words and actions and far from answering the question, only let out groans or unintelligible absurd language.
“As expected, words do not work with each other. It seems the system’s ability that automatically interprets all languages is not exerted. On top of that, it does not understand body language at all.”
Cheon Mu-seong said while frowning.
“From my view as well, it seems so. It seems communication was intentionally blocked.”
Jin-su subtly leaked the truth.
“It is the system’s trick.”
Cheon Mu-seong swung the sword with a firm expression and gifted rest to the giant race that was suffering.
[You have completed the mission - Subjugation of the Giant Race Group.]
[Mission clear reward - 3 Sun Moon Spirit Pills are paid.]
[You can leave the dungeon.]
At the same time as the annihilation of the giant race, the hidden dungeon was cleared.
Hwaak!
Along with a bright light cluster, the Sun Moon Spirit Pills revealed their appearance in front of the Jin-su party’s eyes.
‘What on earth is the identity?’
Jin-su made a puzzled expression and confirmed the information of the Sun Moon Spirit Pill.
[Sun Moon Spirit Pill - Elixir]
-A spirit pill condensed with the energy of the sun and moon.
-Matches the harmony of yin and yang and raises the efficiency of the body to the maximum.
-
‘Why is the explanation so vague?’
It was hard to accurately understand what it means to raise the efficiency of the body to the maximum.
‘First, let’s eat it.’
Jin-su put the Sun Moon Spirit Pill in his mouth.
Salararak!
The Sun Moon Spirit Pill melted and was absorbed into the body.
Creak! Creak!
At the same time, the change of the body was felt.
‘The external change is not large.’
It was only receiving the feeling of the skin, muscles, and bones being slightly adjusted. However, the internal change, not the external, was enormously intense.
‘This?’
Like when intaking a Spirit Demon Pill, the efficiency of the mana circuit rises, and along with that, the increase of strength in the whole body was felt. This was not because the stats increased. The body became more perfect, and the efficiency of the stats rose.
‘Raising the efficiency of the body to the maximum meant such a meaning.’
Jin-su’s change did not end there.
[Due to intaking the Sun Moon Spirit Pill, the efficiency of the Holy Body Constitution rises.]
Even the efficiency of the Holy Body Constitution rose.
“Good.”
Jin-su greatly admired the effect of the Sun Moon Spirit Pill.
‘Can I not obtain one more of this?’
If intaking in the dark type status window, it was certain that additional changes along with the efficiency of the Dark Body Constitution will also rise.
‘No, one is insufficient.’
Even if the efficiency drops if taking overlapping like the Spirit Demon Pill, anyway, it was a matter of perhaps additional body efficiency improving.
‘At least 2 more are needed.’
Then the overlapping efficiency can be confirmed. If there is an effect even if taking overlapping, at least 3 were needed.
‘Since I also have to test whether there is an effect of 2 or more overlapping.’
If possible, 4 were needed. If there is an effect even if intaking 2 or more overlapping?
‘Even more numbers are needed. I will clearly be able to obtain them.’
Jin-su before regression was not a style of obtaining the strongest class and weapon from the beginning and advancing smoothly. It was a case of surviving hard and tenaciously, obtaining a good class and weapon, and becoming strong only in the latter half.
‘So me before regression had few numbers of achievements obtained or hidden dungeons cleared compared to other rankers.’
However, after regression, it was different. From the lower layers, he cleared almost all achievements and cleared numerous hidden dungeons. And as those rewards, he obtained the Holy Body Constitution and Dark Body Constitution, secured multiple Spirit Demon Pills, and even obtained the Sun Moon Spirit Pill.
“Oho, it is a feeling like undergoing bone and flesh transformation.”
Cheon Mu-seong who intaked the Sun Moon Spirit Pill said with an admiring expression.
“To think producing the same effect as bone and flesh transformation with only one elixir, truly amazing.”
Cheon Mu-seong had experience of undergoing bone and flesh transformation in the Musung dimension. Perhaps because of that, the width of change was also small like Jin-su, and he quickly adapted to the changed body.
“Jin-su, I am fine, so you eat it.”
Shin Su-a held out the Sun Moon Spirit Pill to Jin-su and said. Jin-su who did not eat elixirs until now ate the Sun Moon Spirit Pill. Those words meant that Jin-su needs the Sun Moon Spirit Pill.
‘I cannot shamelessly eat even what Jin-su needs.’
It could be known just by looking at Jin-su or Cheon Mu-seong’s reaction that it is an elixir with enormous effects. However, that is why she wanted to give it to Jin-su even more.
At hearing Shin Su-a’s words, Jin-su’s expression subtly changed.
‘It is correct that more Sun Moon Spirit Pills are needed.’
However, he did not want to snatch and eat Shin Su-a’s share.
‘Elixirs are fine if obtaining again from now on.’
Jin-su received the Sun Moon Spirit Pill Shin Su-a held out.
“Hehehe.”
At such an appearance of Jin-su, Shin Su-a laughed brightly.
Sook!
Jin-su put the Sun Moon Spirit Pill into Shin Su-a’s slightly opened mouth with a pop.
Salararak!
The Sun Moon Spirit Pill that entered Shin Su-a’s mouth melted in an instant.
“J-Jin-su?”
“I am also fine.”
At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a made a faint smile. However, that smile did not last that long.
“Uek!”
Unlike Jin-su or Cheon Mu-seong, Shin Su-a’s change was extreme.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
The sound of Shin Su-a’s skin peeling and bones and muscles twisting burst without rest.
“A-it hurts! It hurts too much!”
Shin Su-a trembled her body and bit her teeth and struggled in pain. Shin Su-a was an Earth origin ordinary person.
Until now, she has intaked various types of elixirs including Spirit Demon Pills. But the Spirit Demon Pill was an elixir with a mana circuit efficiency increase option, and the rest were all elixirs with the effect of increasing stats.
That is, it meant that this was the first time intaking a type of elixir that gives extreme changes to the body like the Sun Moon Spirit Pill.
“Su-a. You must not lose consciousness!”
Jin-su also felt extreme pain when the body changed after intaking the Holy Body Pill and Dark Body Pill. However, he did not lose consciousness, and due to that, the efficiency of the body rose.
‘The Sun Moon Spirit Pill will be the same.’
For a stronger and more efficient body, Shin Su-a also had to not lose consciousness until the end.
“Uueueuek! J-Jin-su! D-don’t go! Stay here!”
Shin Su-a grabbed Jin-su’s hand.
“Got it. I will continue to stay by your side. So do not worry.”
“Thank you.”
Shin Su-a’s expression brightened a bit.
“If enduring a bit, it will end soon.”
At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a made a faint smile in the pain. And as Jin-su said, not long after, the intense change that occurred in Shin Su-a’s body ended.
“Haa, haa! I thought I would die as is.”
Shin Su-a whose pain disappeared spat out rough breaths.
“Kheum.”
At that time, Jin-su gently let go of Shin Su-a’s hand and slightly widened the distance.
“Hmm hmm hmm.”
Cheon Mu-seong also subtly retreated from Shin Su-a’s side, turned his head, and moved his gaze toward a far corner of the dungeon.
“Nyaaang!”
“Kaaak!”
Leo and Kkami also widened the distance from Shin Su-a as much as possible.
‘Why are they like that?’
Shin Su-a who seemed like she would live now that the pain ended looked at Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong with a puzzled expression.
“Uek!”
At that moment, a terrible smell stabbed Shin Su-a’s nose.
‘What is this smell?’
The source of the smell was Shin Su-a’s body. The body of Shin Su-a who finished the change was full of turbid colored sweat and peeled skin pieces. Yet, the turbid colored sweat and peeled skin pieces were emitting a terrible smell hard to describe in words.
“Uueueueu!”
Shin Su-a who realized why Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong distanced from her side only then had her face instantly heat up red like a well-ripened apple.
