[Target is eligible for Shadow Extraction.]

At Sooho’s words, a black shadow began to wriggle from the Poison-Toothed Giant Desert Centipede’s corpse.

[Attempting to extract the shadow.]

[Extraction in progress…]

Kiyaaak!

Inside the shadow, the Poison-Toothed Giant Desert Centipede screamed to come out. However…

Ding! An alert sounded with the sound of metal bouncing.

[Shadow Extraction has failed.]

[Two more chances remain.]

‘Failure?’
Sooho gritted his teeth.

‘Am I not good enough for this?’

Shadow Extraction skill had a certain probability of failure. It was clearly stated in the skill window that the failure rate increased proportionally to the target’s abilities. In reality, the Poison-Toothed Giant Desert Centipede was a beast far stronger than Sooho.

‘In fact, I didn’t kill it alone.’

Sooho had used every means and method he had to defeat this one. That’s why he was even more greedy.

‘Two chances left…’

After taking a deep breath, Sooho calmly attempted the second extraction.

“Arise.”

Ding!

[Shadow Extraction has failed.]

[One more chance remains.]

“…” Sooho swallowed dryly.

Now, one last chance.

Kiyaaak! The centipede struggled to escape the black smoke, wiggling its countless legs.

‘Do you want to come out too?’

Sooho’s eyes became calm.

‘Yes, come out.’

And then, let’s defeat the enemy by my side.

Sooho solemnly stretched out his hand in front of the giant body of the beast.

“Arise!”

That moment.

Snap!

The centipede roared, lifting its front legs out of the black smoke. That was just the beginning.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

Many legs followed, standing up and raising their body off the ground. The black smoke tangled up, weaving together the incomplete body.

[Shadow Extraction succeeded.]

“Done!” Sooho let out a cheer.

[?? Lv.1]

Knight Grade

Finally, a huge centipede made of black smoke appeared before Sooho.

[Kiyaaak!]

Whoosh!

[…!]

Esil, who had emerged from Vulcan’s Horn, was shaken and stumbled backward from the fierce energy.

Gray, who had also fallen from Sooho’s body, curled up and hid behind Esil, trembling.

Sooho swallowed dryly as he remembered his first battle with the creature.
