Chapter 22

Episode 5 – Shadow Keeper (4)

Maybe we would've fought for a long time.

[The exclusive skill 'Bookmark' can now be activated.]

[The number two bookmark has been activated.]

[The level of the Bookmark skill is low, shortening the activation time.]

[Activation Time: One minute.]

Well, I had this. Otherwise my bones might be torn off my bones or my blood might clot.

[Your understanding of the character is low, so only a part of the character's skill is activated.]

[Weapons Training Lv.1 has been activated.]

But it didn't. To be exact, I couldn't afford it. I used all the powers I had. I squeezed out all my strength and ran through the tentacles.

Sukak!

The landscape around me flashed by. The only thing left was the afterimage of a sharp white light and the sense of cutting something.

It was just that the 'information' I had was more advantageous than others. But sometimes, 'information' was more powerful than anything in the world.

Kiiing!

The very result of that information was the white light sword now in my hand.

[A-An 'ether blade' in the beginning scenarios...C-Constellations. Is this a true story?]

Fortunately, I didn't have to explain it as the dokkaebi was in full swing.

Ether Blade. It was the flagship technique of the incarnations supported by the highest level sponsor. The technique was often called 'energy blade' in Murim novels.

"To be exact, it isn't a real ether blade. The real one is much stronger than this."
