Chapter 657: Black snow (10)

Yoo Sanghoon told me about his ability in the wake of the TC Research Institute incident.

— I heard my illness had something to do with my ability. My life was saved because my energy waves awakened, but I heard that I wouldn’t have had to be in such pain if I didn’t have it in the first place.

— I’ll talk about my ability. Skill, light skill, order. Everything. So tell me what you found out.

— If I use my ability and light skill, I won’t get hurt at least. Trust me.

Details of abilities are difficult to reveal for players.

Nevertheless, Yoo Sanghoon said he’d reveal everything to persuade me.

I said that I’d let him go with me even without him revealing it, but he decided to do so anyway.

I thought I should stop him, but I decided to listen in the end to take his safety into consideration.

— I was born in a way that my body naturally absorbs shock from my surroundings, but if I use my light skill, that gets maximized for a moment.

I wondered if there was any such light skill when I first heard it.

Did I have to find out when I flew to cover for Son Minki on the day of the entrance exam?

The light skill was really Yoo Sanghoon.

I was a bit unhappy to think that Yoo Sanghee had such a brother for a dongsaeng.

Yoo Sanghoon said he could maximize shock absorption, not nullify it so he wouldn’t get hurt.

I immediately replied.

— You said you wouldn’t get hurt if you used your light skill.

— Well, I’ll get hurt while using it. That’s that, but the problem’s roughly resolved because of the superior being connected to my light skill.

In short, he’ll get hurt while using his light skill.

Yoo Sanghoon kept replying to me with nonsense.

I thought I should slap the back of his head on behalf of Yoo Sanghee, but then I remembered something.

‘Wait, his light skill is connected to a superior being? Just like Yoo Sanghee in PMH?’

Yoo Sanghee’s light skill was, at its core, a desire to attack and check enemies.

Connected to Akea, Yoo Sanghee’s light skill added healing power.

The combat power of Healing Wind isn’t very high, but it’s the best in terms of support.

The ability to attack enemies while healing allies was extremely rare.

However, after Yoo Sanghoon’s death in PMH, Yoo Sanghee took Nemesis’ hand instead of Akea’s.

As a result of getting contracts with multiple goddesses, Yoo Sanghee’s light skill lost its healing ability and gained two other powers.

First, while Yoo Sanghee invokes her light skill in exchange for life, its attack power against demon beasts is more than tripled.

Second, as a result of her light skill being connected to Nemesis, a special effect is triggered after the light skill is deactivated.

‘So the being who gave Yoo Sanghoon his order and light skill, could it be…’

Yoo Sanghoon’s next words confirmed my suspicion.

— My light skill is connected to Nemesis, the Goddess of Revenge.

Nemesis, who gave an order to Yoo Sanghee in PMH, must’ve chosen Yoo Sanghoon in this world.

I didn’t doubt him, but my mouth opened in surprise at the mention of Nemesis’ name.

— I thought Nemesis contacted Yoo Sanghee sunbaenim though…

— You know it well. Did you read that paper too? Until last year, she was the superior being who was connected to Yoo Sanghee-ssi, but she came to me as soon as I got my light skill.

I read the paper published by Yoo Sanghee, of course.

Other than the paper that she published on Nemesis, The Relationship with Multiple Superior Beings, and the Study of Light Skill, I read all my playable characters’ works.

The paper mentioned that Nemesis contacted Yoo Sanghee, so it was unimaginable that Nemesis chose someone else.

‘Don’t tell me that bastard Yoo Sanghoon got a dangerous power in exchange for his life span.’

I suspected it, but somehow I didn’t think so.

PMH’s Yoo Sanghee had the goal of exterminating demon beasts, but Yoo Sanghoon didn’t have that kind of motivation.

The basketball addict Yoo Sanghoon was unlikely to sign a contract to reduce his lifespan in the name of revenge.

— Did Nemesis give you power in exchange for nothing?

— Exchange? I heard about that at first. She said she’d give me more power if I gave something in exchange. I said I didn’t need it.

Yoo Sanghoon seemed to have rejected Nemesis’ offer.

There seems to be no effect like the one that Yoo Sanghee got in PMH.

— But my light skill is like that, and I got an order. I like the effects added to my light skill.

— What sort of effects?

I asked, but I knew it even if he didn’t say it.

— All the shock I absorb and damage I get while my light skill is activated is returned to the enemy. My light skill originally only has the power to absorb, but the power to take revenge against enemies is added.

As expected, the ability gained from Nemesis was revenge.

It was the same effect that Yoo Sanghee got in PMH.

She was able to pay back the damage she suffered while her light skill is activated, so Yoo Sanghee in PMH fought like crazy even if her body was slashed in the frenzy.

Because every hurt she gets is returned to her enemies.

And that revenge frenzy is unfurling before my eyes.

Kwaaaaa!

With Yoo Sanghoon at the center, a gale of revenge swallowed Uma.

Uma flew to escape the gale, but he was caught in the strong wind.

The power belonged to him, and there was no way to escape easily.

It wasn’t a simple blow, but one that he launched with the intention of killing everyone here.

Kwaaa kwaaaa!

Particles of light flashed in the revenge gale.

The moment when the particles of light burst at once, a beam launched from Yoo Sanghoon and Uma’s bodies.

Joo Soohyuk felt the power and shouted urgently.

“Sanghoon-ah!”

Joo Soohyuk sensed the power in the particles and was concerned that Yoo Sanghoon would get injured again.

However, Maeng Hyodon had a sense of what would happen and dissuaded? Joo Soohyuk.

Joo Soohyuk eventually stopped, recalling the word revenge that Yoo Sanghoon uttered.

And the gale of revenge swept Uma and Yoo Sanghoon at once.

Gukuku…

The light faded and the gale stopped.

Soon, Yoo Sanghoon and Uma were clearly seen.

Yoo Sanghoon’s defense equipment and weapons were in a mess, and Yoo Sanghoon himself…

Yoo Sanghoon was looking forward with his eyes open, all his wounds gone from his body.

All the damage he suffered was transferred to Uma.

But his torn uniform, tattered dueling shield, and the blood stains left on his body kept catching my eyes.

‘Even if the damage is transferred, he’s still got hurt.’

I didn’t want Yoo Sanghoon to use his light skill.

After hearing what his ability was, I tried to search for ways to prevent any situation where he’d have to use his light skill.

However, Yoo Sanghoon and the two others moved differently from what I expected, and there eventually came the situation where his light skill was invoked.

Despite the trump card being played though, the crisis is far from over.

“… I see you’re a proper one.”

Shake, tap.

Uma didn’t collapse.

The staggered Uma stood upright again, his mask and clothes almost torn off.

He had injuries, but he was still alive and well.

“You have a valuable ability. To think that a human can endure that power!”

Yoo Sanghoon didn’t respond, only lifting his dueling shield silently.

It was a bluff that he could use the light skill again, but it was obvious.

Yoo Sanghoon endured the shock thanks to his light skill and shield.

But now his shield is broken and his energy waves must’ve hit the bottom.

Before he could deflect the next shock, he might already be dead.

Just as Yoo Sanghee died in PMH’s First Christmas Scenario.

Kwaaaang!

As if Joo Soohyuk had drawn a similar conclusion, he flew like lightning and swung his swords toward the Huntiegun.

Sparks splashed wildly between the swords and the iron club, but Uma had a firm grip on his weapon.

At that time, when Uma’s balance was shaken…

Hwik!

Uma hurriedly raised himself and kicked, hitting Maeng Hyodon’s torso.

Maeng Hyodon was aiming for Uma’s tail, but the kick threw him far away.

Hit.

“Aish…!”

Maeng Hyodon gritted his teeth and stared at the tail.

I’m sure Maeng Hyodon had no idea about Mesopotamian mythology, but he had a good sense that the tail was Uma’s weakness.

If Joo Soohyuk and Maeng Hyodon had triggered their light skills while Yoo Sanghoon was dealing with Uma, the result might’ve been different.

But I understood why they didn’t.

‘Yoo Sanghoon was hurt to the point where he might die before our eyes. There’s no way they could’ve kept their cool.’

If Maeng Hyodon’s light skill Fighter’s Gravity was invoked, he could’ve caught Uma’s tail and Joo Soohyuk could’ve stabbed him.

However, the surprise attack didn’t work.

Joo Soohyuk and Maeng Hyodon’s faces darkened, but Yoo Sanghoon looked determined.

‘The three didn’t get to take down Uma, but not everything was in vain.’

Through their intervention, Uma’s attention was taken away.

That meant that there was a person who was able to move outside Uma’s perception.

Hwang Jiho.

“Geuhk…!”

Uma, who didn’t scream once even after being hit by the gale of revenge, groaned.

He trembled and looked toward his tail with an incredulous look on his face.

The white, long tail of Uma was held by Hwang Jiho’s hands.

“You must’ve forgotten about me.”

Behind Hwang Jiho, a golden energy wave left a long afterimage.

It’s a trace of Hwang Jiho releasing himself from hiding.

“Did you launch that beast to deal with this body? But I can hold an ankle better than you can.”

“Damn it!”

Uma tried to beat Hwang Jiho with the Huntiegun, but Hwang Jiho didn’t even try to hold up the rod.

Instead, he stared at Uma’s back, bending his tender eyes.

He was looking at me holding the Sangbosimgeumpa.

<Skill Use Objects activated.>

I’ve been waiting all along to recover enough to be able to use the Sangbosimgeumpa fully.

Those three earned me that time.

Kwaadukkk!

The teeth of the Sangbosimgeumpa shot at Uma, digging between his neck, horns, and tendons.
