Skill of the Absolute (2)
Han-bin felt so tired he didn’t even have enough Aura to continue experimenting.
After giving up on further trials, Han-bin and his group set up lodging on one side of the Clean Area.
They set up a tent, started a bonfire, and had preserved food for dinner.
Han-bin grumbled, chewing the soaked jerky.
“Is it just an error?”
When considering the Guideline’s reliability, there was a strong possibility that the skill name had just been shown.
“But that consumed Aura. I feel like I’m doing something.”
Leon Hart gave an explanation.
“I don’t think you don’t need to rely on that skill anyway.”
“How come? Maybe it’s a great skill to use against the Top Three.”
“I don’t know what the skill is like. Maybe it could be a powerful one, as you said, Han-bin.”
But that was the skill of the Guideline.
It must be a force derived from the Devil Omphalos.
“Can we believe in that kind of ability?”
Being able to give strength to someone meant being able to take it back.
“What if Omphalos takes away your Guideline? What if the power you’ve got disappears in a day?”
Leon Hart was straightforward.
“Only the power you can acquire by yourself is truly reliable.”
Ryu Han-bin made an ambiguous expression.
“It’s not that I haven’t thought about it. But this physical ability is also gained by the power of the Devil.”
Then Kibie intervened in the conversation.
“That’s a little different, Han-bin.”
Ryu Han-bin’s formidable body was made thanks to the Guideline.
Without the Guideline, how could an ordinary Earthling absorb a monsters’ spirit and boost his physical abilities?
But even if the Guideline disappeared, he would not return to his former incompetence.
“The Guideline is a guide. It just leads you in a new direction.”
If the guide disappeared, he wouldn’t find a new way.
However, the fact that they had already walked wouldn’t disappear with it.
It was like getting a personal trainer at an Omphalos gym when put in an Earthling reference.
Just quitting the gym, where he had used to go, didn’t mean that his muscles that he had gained would disappear in an instant.
Skills, on the other hand, were used through the Guideline instead.
“It’s a kind of weapon from the Devil.”
Weapons could not be used if they were taken away.
“Is that so…”
Han-bin nodded.
Thanks to that, he managed to organize his thoughts.
“I must ignore the skill ‘Lord throughout Heaven and Earth.”
Leon Hart was right.
Rather than paying attention to the unidentified skill leaning on the Omphalos’s power, he had to focus on increasing the proficiency of the Valtara Fighting Spirit.
It was the right path for Han-bin to become stronger.
Leaning back, Han-bin grumbled.
“Oh, I have a long way to go. I haven’t even touched the Heaven Sword yet.”
The completion of the Valtara’s Fighting Spirit was the prerequisite for the Heavenly Sword Diastima.
Han-bin still controlled only about 70% of the Valtara’s Fighting Spirit. That made him wonder when he’d acquire the Heavenly Sword and fight against the Top Three.
Leon Hart soothed him.
“You don’t have to be in a hurry. You’re progressing fast enough right now.”
It was not just Ryu Han-bin.
Effir and Kibie were also growing faster than Leon Hart had expected.
It was quite a satisfactory result for him to teach them.
“Well…”
Leon Hart was surprised when he thought of an absent red-haired young man.
“I don’t know where he is and what he’s doing.”
It had already been 20 days since Artis disappeared, saying there was something he had to do.

Artis returned the next day.
As soon as he joined the group, he grabbed Ryu Han-bin and demanded him.
“I want you to give me energy!”
Han-bin wondered.
“Well, that’s not that hard, but… Why all of a sudden?”
He hadn’t given energy to Artis lately.
As his level had increased, the amount of absorbed energy had also increased, so it took longer to digest them.
Rather, Artis was efficient in hunting down monsters himself and absorbing the energy step by step.
Why was Artis asking Han-bin to give a lot of energy to him suddenly?
“There’s something I want to test.”
Leon Hart, who was watching from the side, smiled.
“You look different.”
He didn’t look as blue as before.
He looked as if he found his’ way.’
“Then I’ll do my best to help you.”
* * *
Dungeon Heppel was to the west of the Ice-Flame Forest.
A giant warrior was running wild among dozens of monsters.
“Wow!”
He swung his Gigant with a loud shout.
With each swing, the limbs of the monsters soared away as they spilled blood.
However, there were only a few dead monsters.
He intentionally injured them while avoiding their vital points.
“It’s been a long time since I fought in good condition.”
Ryu Han-bin grinned as he put the fallen monsters away in one corner.
Ever since he came to the Ice-Flame Forest, he hunted monsters with the Valtara’s Fighting Spirit skill.
His goal was to learn how to control it properly in actual combat.
However, his current goal had changed to turning the monsters into immobile beings and deliver them to Artis.
‘Instead of focusing on practicing the Fighting Spirit skill, quickly filling Artis’s core would save time since we’d be able to return to training fast.’
Leon Hart also gave permission, so there was nothing to be worried about.
He relieved all his stress.
“I shall bring death upon all!! No, you can’t die. Don’t die!”
The screams of the monsters echoed across the place.
Argh!
Argh!
The situation was similar on the other side.
Effir and Kibie were also using their weapons to turn the monsters into half-paralytic ones.
The dungeon’s average level was around 70. If the two people joined forces, they could hunt them down efficiently.
-Magic Swordsmanship: Blast of Destruction!
-Aura Splash!
Of course, Leon Hart didn’t remain on standby either.
-Ectoplasm Sphere!
They decided to drive energy to Artis as a team.
With everyone joining forces, the hunting speed became insanely quick.
Less than an hour later, a huge mountain of monsters had risen in the corner of the dungeon.
“Artis! I’ve set the table!”
“It’s been a long time since I last heard that.”
