93 – Undersea Dungeon (3)
The dungeon we are exploring is a dark deep sea where sunlight does not reach, but it is lined with self-luminous rocks, so it does not hurt the view. Did not Rather, it was a brighter world than before entering the dungeon.
However, the bright world went dark in an instant.
“What, what?! Suddenly I can’t see anything! Huh? What is this slimy thing?”
“Don’t secretly touch my breasts, Seo Hanbit!”
“Oh! This small, skinny thing must have been Yeongji-nim’s heart! Unintentionally, it has become softly wet!”
“Do you want to die?”
Seo Han-bit and Kim Young-ji were making a fuss.
A small light shimmered in front of my eyes.
The source of the light was my encyclopedia.
The light slowly began to illuminate the surroundings.
【Check the soul of the phantom goblin.】
【Attempt to transcend existence.】
【If transcendence fails, the soul will disappear.】
A dry, inaudible voice echoed in my head.
At the same time, the light emanating from the encyclopedia rose into the sky with increasing intensity. Eventually, a pillar of light was created. Inside the pillar of light, a human figure presumed to be a kkaebi appeared faintly.
And.
【Transcendence failed.】
Faang-!
Intense explosions were heard along with voices indicating failure. Then, like a fluorescent lamp breaking, the pillar of light shattered and the world went dark again.
‘···There is no way to succeed at once. It’s a 10 percent chance.’
It was expected that the first attempt would fail. I didn’t feel disappointed as I didn’t expect much.
Instead, only anxiety came over me.
【Try to transcend again.】
【Try to transcend again.】
【Try to transcend again.】
Consuming the soul bound by the lantern.
The encyclopedia continued to try to transcend.
A pillar of light rises.
Repeat breaking like glass for the sixth time.
I started to get nervous.
The soul is fully prepared.
Enough to succeed, even for those with little luck.
However, the more failures, the more.
The anxiety multiplied and increased and was eating away at my heart.
‘No, now is the time to succeed…’
The nutmeg was up to his throat.
【Try to transcend again.】
The twelfth failure.
There was a limit to my patience.
In the end, vulgar words almost came out of my mouth.
【Transcendence succeeded.】
As the longed-for voice echoed in my head, the words that were about to come out of my mouth naturally scattered and disappeared.
‘Yes, at this point, I should be successful!’
I stared at the pillar of light while singing for joy inside.
The pillar of light, still solid, was dyed in a different color along with the vibration of the distance. Right now, it was no different from a ray of light.
“Huh? Pillar color changes! Didn’t it succeed?!”
“Wow, golden…! It seems to be a sign of great success!?”
Kim Young-ji and Seo Han-bit jumped up from their seats and shouted in surprise. It seemed that he had noticed that the evolution had succeeded in seeing a different scene from before.
“Lee Hyun-seong, are you successful?”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who had been watching silently with his arms folded, also asked if he was tired of waiting.
“Once I heard a voice saying it was successful.”
“I’m glad you succeeded. Did you hear any other voices?”
“It’s been quiet so far.”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan’s expression showed a hint of regret. It seems that he wanted a special evolution. On the other hand, the fact that I succeeded was enough to satisfy me. It’s a special entity that has already been labeled ‘illusion’, but if you want more here, you don’t have a conscience.
‘After. But if it succeeds after 12 attempts, is it a good thing?’
To be honest, I’m a bit on the unlucky side at number 12, but after putting my mind at ease, I started thinking in a positive direction.
Regaining my composure, I moved my gaze to the pillar of light that was emitting golden light again.
Saaa-
The golden light was rushing into the encyclopedia like blue.
After the encyclopedia that sucked in all the rays of light was automatically covered, the rock that had been turned off glowed again to light up the darkened world.
‘Then where…’
I took a deep breath, opened the encyclopedia and checked the list of summons.
***

◎Summon
【★★★★★ Fantastic Darkness (Kaebi)】
—
As expected, special evolution was not achieved.
I wondered if there was any meaning to the golden light, but it just means that I succeeded in evolving into a 5-star, and it seems that it did not imply any special meaning.
As you might have guessed, the ratings were five stars.
It was natural because no higher grade could exist. Giving it a name wouldn’t make it 5.5 Stars.
‘Because five stars mean transcendent existence. From here on, grades have no meaning.’
Even if there are 5 stars and monsters of the same grade, the difference in strength between each individual is vastly different. As in the lower class, it is classified as lower, intermediate, upper, and superlative.
Comparing the 5-star monsters that usually appear in dungeons and the Darkness, the Darkness will have a slightly higher level of existence. Lee Rang guesses that the comparison itself is rude.
Of course, this is just a guess.
I decided to check the level right now.
‘Summon, kkaebi.’
For some reason, it didn’t come out on its own, and I summoned a kkaebi that is waiting quietly in the encyclopedia.
Golden light jumped out of the encyclopedia. I could already see the difference from the 4-star or lower summons that had a black light.
Soon after, the summoned kkaebi was floating in the water with its eyes closed.
Are you still sleeping in the aftermath of evolution?
Before waking up, I slowly looked at the appearance of the kkaebi.
The first thing that caught my eye was the clothes she was wearing.
A plain black suit.
It was clearly different from the clothes he was wearing during his days as a fantasy goblin.
I’ll do that too.
The length of the clothes was twice as long as the kkaebi’s body.
It doesn’t matter now that it’s floating on the water, but when it comes to the surface, it’s in a position to drag it on the floor.
‘···Is it okay because I can fly anyway?’
I’m not sure if the clothes were made with that fact in mind.
The next area of interest was the skin.
The pale brown skin is now as white as snow.
“Wow, white jade skin. Can I touch you?”
After Kim Yeongji approached Kkaebi, she asked me for permission. Seo Han-bit also wanted to touch it and quickly joined Kim Young-ji.
“Hmm. Wouldn’t you be surprised if I suddenly touched you?”
“I’m sleeping very soundly, wouldn’t it be okay to touch it lightly?”
Kim Yeongji answered and carefully brushed the skin of the kkaebi with her palm.
“Wow… It is very soft.”
“I want to touch it too!”
Seo Han-bit also poked at her kkaebi’s face and then massaged her breasts.
It’s understandable that the two of them reacted like that.
Because skin that looks as soft as glutinous rice cakes arouses a desire to touch it at least once.
I also wanted to join them, but all I could do was suppress my desire. I could go home and touch it as much as I wanted, so there was no need to rush.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan was looking at the appearance of the kkaebi from a distance. He has no interest in touching other people’s women. While he said this
“It looks the same. They seem to be the same height.”
As Instructor Tak Jae-hwan said.
Except for the clothes and skin, the appearance was the same.
Nevertheless, the change in appearance seemed extreme.
You only change one skin, but your image changes like that.
‘I expected dark skin because it was dark…. Only the clothes and hair are black.’
The more I looked, the more beautiful it was.
It’s not that the fantasy goblin days were ugly.
Just the current appearance with white skin felt different from the aura. I guess it’s like a doll.
I was staring at Kkaebi like that.
─Ugh…
Awakening from her slumber, Kkaebi rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and slowly lifted her eyelids.
From Noble mtl dot com
─Mr. Seo?
A kkaebi who calls her ‘Mama’, which she used to call her all the time, out of nowhere, calls her ‘Seobangnim’.
“The West…?”
“Kaebi, please be careful with your words. Are you suddenly a Westerner?”
Ignoring the distance between Kim Young-ji and Seo Han-bit, the kaebi who looked at me and shouted that I was her husband began to tan.
Kkaebi is like the clothes she was wearing.
Her entire skin was dyed black, and her entire body melted like a liquid, transforming into a shadow.
And the shadow quickly overtook me. It was so fast that there was no time to react.
After that.
The shadow around my neck returned to its original kkaebi appearance.
—Mr. West! I’m here!
“···Kaebbi, why are you suddenly calling me Seobangnim?”
─It’s my heart!
Kkaebi, with her maritime smile, answered by rubbing her face against my cheek.
···Well, the title didn’t really matter.
I used to call her Mama.
They called me that because they thought of me as a parent… No, like a family member.
The only difference between Mama and Seobang is the title.
In the end, I decided to do it because it is a word that refers to a family.
Above all.
The important thing now is not the title, but the confirmation of the ability of the kkaebi that has evolved into a 5-star.
─That’s right! I can do this now too!
Before I could even ask, Kaebi stretched out her arms as if to show off her abilities.
The fantasy Eoduksini’s ability was demonstrated by Kkaebi.
That’s right.
It was the ability to embody her fantasy itself in the present world, not to put it into her own fantasy world.
─Imitate your appearance with shadows! I even infused her abilities with fantasy!
Kaebi smiled, revealing her white teeth, and explained the fantasy she had materialized.
The illusion in front of me was in the form of a white tiger.
