Chapter 221
The dwarves carried a huge box . A huge box that seemed ordinary on the outside . However, Muyoung was able to sense an overflowing amount of magical power . The dwarves then laid down the box in front of Muyoung .
“Due to the devils’ recent movements, it seems like Bartas is unable to move . Instead, he created the equipment with the supplied materials . ”
Well, Bartas was the king of dwarves .
He had an obligation to be responsible for his own kingdom .
As Muyoung just wanted the equipment from the beginning and not Bartas, he didn’t care .
‘The Immortal King’s power . ’
Muyoung’s best equipment was Anguish, and the next best was the Immortal King’s Breastplate . If he could wear the rest of the Immortal King’s equipment, he would be able to fight face to face with Enroth .
The box in front of him felt as if some kind of power was oozing out of it .
However, it felt ominous . If Anguish was a force that denied everything, the power from the box felt like it could activate a certain special effect on a particular individual .
Even Muyoung was stirred up by such strange sensations .
As if Kalmooh had noticed, he spoke bitterly .
“The item is beyond amazing . Even Bartas couldn’t believe it himself . I only saw it for a moment, but even I was totally awed by the finished equipment . But…”
“But?”
“The magical power of the equipment attracts monsters, and make them ferocious . ”
Indeed . Kalmooh appeared quite tired . It seemed like the path back wasn’t as smooth as he had expected .
However, to those who had intelligence, it didn’t have a great effect .
The influence was concentrated on the monsters that didn’t have intelligence and were faithful to their instincts .
Muyoung touched the box .
Then, as he opened the huge box, he was able to see something that looked like scales . Scales that were very transparent . It was lacking to be called a piece of equipment . No, it wasn’t even a piece of equipment .
“What is this?”
As Muyoung asked, Kalmooh replied .
“It’s a skin . ”
“Skin?”
“Bartas said that by combining the leather of moonlight and the Immortal King’s strength, that sort of form was created . As the moon represents eternity and immortality means endlessness… Bartas said that for a perishable entity to fully contain that sort of strength, it needs this sort of skin . ”
“Even Bartas doesn’t completely know?”
Bartas was definitely the one who created this . However, even Bartas didn’t seem to know what he had really created .
“He also said, ‘the true god of the great blacksmith had possessed me’ . ”
Did it mean Bartas created this while he was being possessed?
Muyoung grinned . It was no different than drunken truth .
Then, he turned his head and looked at the scales once more .
Unless he concentrated on it, it was so transparent that he couldn’t tell if the scales existed or not .
As Muyoung held it and focused on it, a message popped up .
Name: Eternity
Rank: ?
Classification: ?
Endurance: ?
Effect: ?
However, there wasn’t much information .
Besides the name, he couldn’t confirm anything .
It meant that he needed to wear it for him to really know its capabilities .
‘Eternity . ’
Eternity . A word that means endlessness .
‘A skin that draws monsters and makes them ferocious . ’
The equipment wouldn’t just cover your skin . It existed to ‘transform’ its accepted user . He was able to feel that kind of obsession .
Among the things that are considered as tools, people said that the ones that transform the user contain ‘evil’ . In that sense, this skin didn’t bring a positive effect .
However, it was the skin that contained Immortal King’s strength . If the breastplate he forcefully created was S+ rank, he was unsure how much power this skin would exhibit .
Additionally…
‘Tools are just tools . ’
Tools couldn’t affect him adversely . Tools exist to be used . The moment someone places too much meaning in a tool, the tool no longer exists as just a tool and consumes the user .
Muyoung started to take off all his clothing .
The scale skin was bigger than Muyoung’s body, but when he wore it, the skin shrank to fit him .
‘New skin . ’
Zzzap!
Every spot where it touched his skin, it felt sticky, like static cling .
Before long, the existing skin was dyed red and necrotized . And in that place, a new skin was formed .
It had killed what normally existed and it took its place .
The skin that was called ‘Eternity’ was transplanted to Muyoung . It didn’t feel different at all .
It felt like it was his natural skin .
However, such a natural sensation was only momentary .
“…!”
Muyoung frowned .
Rejection . The skin and body that had maintained their balance for a while became out of sync .
All his muscles felt twisted . It even influenced his bones and organs . He felt woozy . It has been a while since he felt this sort of pain . As he clenched his teeth, his eyeballs felt like they were going to pop out . His body twisted as he supported himself on the chair .
“L-lord! Are you okay?”
“Get… out . ”
As Muyoung gestured, Kalmooh swallowed his saliva and nodded .
Muyoung realized that it was a problem he needed to deal with on his own .
“Unless I call… don’t let anyone in . ”
After Muyoung spoke, the door closed with a thump .
In that state, Muyoung collapsed and sat next to the chair .
The whole body transformation was still continuing .
‘The power of the Immortal King . ’
This was all due to the strength of the Immortal King .
Muyoung was mortal . A human who was destined to die one day . However, immortals lived forever . Of course, the mortal and immortal couldn’t exist simultaneously in the same being . It didn’t make any sense to be able to use the skin with immortal power without any consequences .
‘I could die . ’
However, the price was too great .
If it wasn’t Muyoung, 99/100 would have died from in the beginning stage .
Muyoung was able to endure it as he was familiar with pain . Eventually, Muyoung shook his head .
‘I will live . I will survive . I will live until the end . ’
If he acquired the Immortal King’s skin, he would be able to use ‘Acceleration’ more freely .
Although Muyoung was able to accelerate himself up to 64 times, he wasn’t able to use it for long . There was a problem with the limitations of time, but mostly, it was because of his physical limits .
With this, he could to overcome that limit .
So, this amount of pain was nothing .
