Chapter 636
[Acquire the power of light, ‘Observance.’]
Flash…!
Both of Seong Ji-han’s eyes sparkle.
A soft white light flowed from there.
However, this light was covered with blue energy.
It was buried in the snow and disappeared.
‘It’s definitely important to know where the power is manifested.’
To avoid being treated as a ‘normal person’ with two or more characteristics.
Seong Ji-han relocated his stats from his right hand, where he had mastered the technique, to both eyes.
After confirming that he was recognized as a ‘quarantine’ without any abnormalities, he checked his condition.
‘Did the white light stop at 1500?’
Each of the basic organs increases white light by 100.
I guess 1500 was the limit.
Seong Ji-han looked to see if there were any more messages, wondering if his power would increase further if he expanded it.
‘There’s nothing much after I get the attention.’
Unlike before, no special message came out.
All that remains is the opportunity to expand power given more than 10 times.
‘I have to go into the server to do this.’
I knew that the power ‘Watch’ would appear in both eyes, so I prepared and blocked it before I got it.
Since I didn’t know where in the body time regression occurs, there was a risk that I would be treated as a ‘normal person’ if I did something wrong.
For no reason, it would be better to do it on the server than to be absorbed by the Overmind.
Seong Ji-han thought like that and touched both eyes.
‘I want to try using the power of observation… but it’s ambiguous because the power overlaps with the left eye.’
A gaze that can be used only when the hearing of both eyes is open.
However, if this were to happen, the power in the left eye, ‘Increase in Tower Manifestation’, would also be unlocked.
Then, the power will be recognized as two, and it will become the Transcendental Body.
‘I won’t be able to use my position as Ark Director until this problem is resolved…’
How can I not use the power of observation with just my right eye?
Seong Ji-han thought that he would have to research this once he entered the server, and started preparing to connect to the server in earnest.
Beep.
He pressed a button on the server connection device.
[Do you want to finish the emergency maintenance and reconnect to server 4212?]
[Please select a time zone to connect to.]
[You can roll back the server up to 1 day from when the emergency maintenance started.]
A message asking whether to roll back appeared.
‘Of course I should.’
I came to Ark sooner than originally planned.
It was because Daid’s avatar self-destructed and ran towards Uld.
‘If you think about it… Id guy. An emergency command given to your avatar. ‘Is this really going to happen?’
Seong Ji-han recalled the emergency command he heard from Id when he re-entered the Ark.
-Say, ‘Please give me two characteristics, please.’
Did you say that the point is to put please before and after, and that it is important to say it exactly as it is pronounced?
When I recall that it was said in a serious tone, it seems like it was true and not a joke.
‘If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to find another way.’
With that in mind, Seong Ji-han rolled back the server to one day ago.
OK.
[Rolling back to server 4212.]
[I am a quarantiner with ‘device proficiency’. The power of light consumed for rollback is reduced by half.]
[The stat ‘White Light’ is consumed by 50.]
This may be because only the device skill was activated at the last minute.
The white light consumption required for server rollback was reduced by half.
‘I have to activate this whenever I touch the machine.’
When Seong Ji-han was once again experiencing the usefulness of device skills.
The same message as last time popped up on the server connection device.
[The player himself is attempting to connect. We recommend connecting through an avatar.]
[The player’s avatar has not been registered. Would you like to connect to the central server and form an avatar?]
“Go to the main body.”
There is nothing good about registering your avatar on a central server.
Seong Ji-han refused to form an avatar, setting a policy of unconditionally going to the main body.
OK.
[Connect to server 4212 with the main unit…]
That message is the last thing that comes to mind.
Buuuuung…!
Light flashed on the server management device, and Seong Ji-han’s body slowly disappeared.
And not long after.
“You’re back.”
The place where he kept his server management equipment.
I returned to the top floor of the Tower of War.
* * *
‘Let’s start by summarizing the harvest from Ark this time.’
Entry into the second arc took longer than planned due to Id’s avatar running out of control.
However, what Seong Ji-han gained here was much more than when he first entered.
‘Baek Gwang’s stat became 1450 after spending 50…’
Baek Gwang’s stat, which had stopped growing at 1500, became 1450 after consuming 50 during the server rollback.
Considering that Baek Gwang was 297 when he re-entered the Ark.
Stats that have risen several times.
‘There are 11 opportunities left to capture the Power of Light.’
If it’s number 11.
Even if the success rate of time reversal is around 40%, it will succeed once.
Seong Ji-han thought so and checked the power of light he currently possessed.
‘Attention and tower implementation also increase with device proficiency… Of these, device proficiency is said to be completed after taking it once.’
It is said that if you fail to use the Time Rewind trait, your existing traits will be strengthened.
The rise in Jusina tower implementation will also be strengthened.
‘The tower implementation has proven to be useful, but the usefulness of the watch has not been proven…’
Let’s think about what will be strengthened if it fails.
Anyway, it wasn’t a matter we could decide.
‘Let’s just go back in time.’
Seong Ji-han decided to use his 11th opportunity.
He opened the power expansion box to check the success rate of time reversal.
[‘Time reversal’ – success rate 44%]
‘It went up 1% again?’
The success rate is 1% higher, perhaps because of the server rollback.
If you invest all 11 times at 44%, you will not fail.
He began expanding his power in earnest.
Flashing…!
[Privilege extension failed. The existing power ‘Watch’ is strengthened.]
[The power expansion failed. The existing power ‘Increase in tower realization’ is strengthened.]
The two powers strengthened each other well.
Also, as I failed 4 more times, the increase in focus and tower realization was further strengthened 2 times each.
‘…44%, right? Why did you fail 6 times?’
And only on the 7th attempt.
[The power of light, ‘Time Reverse’ has been obtained.]
With the message that time reversal has been obtained.
Flashing…
Light leaked out minutely from the neck area.
‘Was it the neck where the light of time reversal appeared?’
This is Uld’s weak point.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
….
‘It seems that the light appears not in a specific part of the neck, but in the entire neck…’
To destroy Uld, you have to completely destroy the neck.
After Seong Ji-han figured out how to eliminate the enemy.
The power expansion section has been reopened.
Then there.
[‘Protection’ – 73% success rate]
Only protection remained as an expandable power.
‘Protection isn’t particularly useful right now.’
Of course, Id’s ability itself was useful.
Since he was now a partner, it seemed better to obtain powers other than these if possible.
especially.
‘It would be nice to have something with a low probability.’
If you choose something with a low probability and fail, the time reversal may be strengthened.
Although I gained time reversal, I guess it’s because my power is still weak.
I had no idea how to use this ability.
I think I need to strengthen this characteristic to know how to use it.
Seong Ji-han was wondering what kind of power he could use other than protection.
‘ah. Yeah… there was that.’
I remembered the time when Baek Gwang reached 100.
When Dongbangsak materialized in the tower and found out that he was chained here.
‘With good timing, the white light stat reached 100.’
When the white light reached 100, Dongbangsak’s body shimmered with light.
At that time, Seong Ji-han realized that he could get him out of the tower by using the power of light.
of course.
-This is just my personal opinion. I think it would be better for you to join the Light clan than for me to go out.
Although Dongbangsak declined Seong Jihan’s proposal, saying that the Light Clan came first.
‘Now that I think about it, it seems like it might be a type of power.’
The power of light is given a chance to expand every time you get 100 points.
Perhaps bringing out Dongbangsak to the tower is another type of power.
‘That would be better than protection.’
Seong Ji-han thought of increasing the power to remove Dongbangsak from the tower rather than the protection that Id had.
From the top floor of the Tower of War, we moved towards the tower where Dongbangsak was staying.
Then there.
“…ah. “Are you here?”
Dongbangsak was stroking his beard with a blank expression on his face.
I found Seong Ji-han late and slowly turned my head towards him.
Why does he look like he’s lost his mind?
Seong Ji-han opened his mouth.
“Now that you think about it, do you remember what happened at Ark?”
The server was rolled back 1 day ago, so let’s ask in case you don’t remember.
Dongbangsuk nodded slowly.
“You mean facing the martial arts sword? “Of course I remember.”
“How was it?”
“It’s definitely better to see it in person.”
Sussuse….
And then Taegeuk rises behind Dongbangsak’s back.
He put his hand in there.
The Taegeuk Demon Sword with its sword body cut in half appeared.
At first glance, it looked like the sword had been cut in half.
‘…No, after seeing that, did you already realize half of the martial arts sword?’
In reality, the front part of the sword became transparent like a martial arts sword, giving it that shape.
No matter how much you achieved in the past, the pace of progress is too fast, isn’t it?
Seong Ji-han looked at the Taegeuk Demon Sword with admiration.
As Dongbangsak’s expression calmed, he asked a question as if he were puzzled.
“But you don’t look good. “What happened?”
“…When I encountered the sword, more memories from Server 2101 came back.”
“What are your memories from the server?”
“That’s right. “Family” wasn’t in my memories from the past…”
Ugh.
When Dong Bang-suk moved his hand, the Taegeuk Demon Sword was sucked into the Taegeuk again.
“Didn’t I say that I am the emperor of the Wulin Empire who lived an immortal life?”
“I did.”
“I didn’t live alone for those long years… The number of imperial families with Eastern surnames was considerable.”
Hwang Gara, who wrote Castle of the East.
Considering the end of server 2101, they would all have died as well.
‘…You must have complicated feelings.’
Wouldn’t it be better if I couldn’t remember my family?
After encountering the Mugeukgeom and regaining my memories.
I could understand why people were so upset.
“I didn’t know such a thing existed. “Then I’ll come next time.”
“…No. Anyway, this is something I have to overcome. Our cause matters now. ruler. “What brought you to see me?”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s really okay, so tell me.”
At Dongbangsak’s urging, he said he was really okay and told him to talk quickly.
Seong Ji-han spoke about what he had thought of earlier.
“Yes… I remember that incident too. “You gave up on getting out of here to join the Light Clan.”
“yes. But now that I know for sure how to become an ‘isolated person,’ I think I can gain the powers I didn’t have back then.”
“Hmm… But if I come out of here, won’t I be free from the tower’s summons? Then Ark won’t be able to use me.”
“Oh, I see.”
Seong Ji-han nods his head to that question.
Dongbangsak continued.
“Then get the power and don’t take me out until the job is done. “If you don’t use that power anyway, right?”
“Hmm… I guess so. “Then let’s give it a try.”
“I know.”
Seong Ji-han looked closely at Dongbangsak.
Normally, it didn’t shine and was just like its original form.
‘Um… what should I do to get him out?’
Let Seong Ji-han think like that.
Flash…
Light shimmered little by little on his body.
Only when you think about putting it out there will you come up with a clue to expand your power.
‘Okay then…’
Seong Ji-han grabbed the light that emerged from Dongbangsak.
Jiiiing…
A message window appeared in front of his eyes.
[I recognize the ‘materialization’ of the power of light.]
Is bringing out the Dongbangsak to the outside the materialization?
‘I got it easier than I thought.’
Seong Ji-han thought so and opened the power expansion slot.
Then there.
[‘Substantiation’ – success rate 0%]
The success rate of materialization was listed as 0%.
