Chapter 139 – 139. Let’s Make a Final Shield

“Good, good.”

Kang In-ho, who was smiling with satisfaction as he searched through the bag left by the survivor, destroyed Minerva’s owl statue.

Immediately, he learned ‘skill exchange’. Now it is not only possible to steal other people’s skills by killing them, but also to peacefully exchange goods.

He would have to use it himself during battle to find out, but he didn’t know if he could just exchange the skill of the opponent he was fighting with his own trash skill.

This meant that not only robbery but also theft may have become possible.

Moreover, if you exchange skills more than 5 times, you get one cursed skill, so you can get skills that you can pass on to the other person for free.

It truly is an incredible skill. In fact, the effect seemed to have increased even more because it was in the hands of Kang In-ho, who lives with accumulated skills.

“Huh.. This is it.”

He gained the skill by destroying the statue, and this time he destroyed the awakening stone containing the quality maintenance, making the quality maintenance level A. With this, I was able to maintain quality on 3 items on my own.

In addition, quality maintenance was strengthened, and the previously maintained Long Sword of the Demon Demon was automatically released without penalty. Accordingly, Kang In-ho re-registered the long sword of destruction and tried to register the rust-worn shield he had obtained in the last underground tomb.

At that time, just before Kang In-ho used Quality Maintenance, Agaf spoke.

[Hey, you remember Asmorphia saying that as your skills increase, the burden on your body, mind, and soul increases… Right?]

“Ah.”

[Did you just take the skill without even thinking about it? Look, if you die, I’m done too. As a community of destiny, don’t just think about yourself, but think about me too.]

“That’s not easy. “I’m sorry for being such a selfish guy.”

[Damn..]

Kang In-ho finally scratches his head at Agap’s point.

Agaf soon sighed and made a suggestion to Kang In-ho.

[First, pass on to me any auxiliary skills or detection skills that you do not need to have.]

“What?”

[Just as you handed over presence detection to me, your burden will be lessened if you hand over other things to me as well. There is no other way than to share.]

Kang In-ho briefly wondered if Agaf might be using the skill to strengthen himself and then try to stab him in the back. Then, Agaf figured out Kang In-ho’s thoughts and got angry.

[Ah, that’s enough. I don’t do it because it’s dirty. I won’t do it. Even if I worry about you, I won’t have anything to do with someone who is suspicious. Do everything yourself. I will curse you if you fall behind.]

“Uh, hey. Are you upset?”

[What bullshit! Do you think I’m going to get angry at you human being?]

“Oh my. I’m upset. “I’m sorry.”

[Hey!!]

Agaf yells at Kang In-ho, who jokes with him just because he got a little closer.

Accordingly, Kang In-ho eventually decided to follow Agaf’s words.

I was already worried about Asmorphia’s advice to her. At that moment, a person to transfer the skills to appear, so there was no need for her to carry everything on her shoulders.

More than anything, I felt like I could ease my burden a little bit now. Isn’t that so? I have already saved almost all of my family, and from now on, I will be able to make enough to live off of as long as I continue to farm well.

Of course, it is said that destruction will accelerate if pagan symbols are not destroyed, but today, after seeing about 1,500 survivors from all over the world who entered this rotten labyrinth, I can’t help but think that the world will run smoothly even if you don’t work like crazy. I thought it was the same.

Yes, I decided to break away from excessive self-consciousness and the main character’s illness.

In fact, he did not even know that he was the closest to the strongest human race.

“Good. Let’s see.”

In any case, Kang In-ho confirmed the skills he possessed.

“And. There are so many.”

Kang In-ho thought to himself that after looking at it carefully, he had quite a lot of skills. Moreover, for some reason, the appearance of the interface seemed to be slightly different from before.

This was thanks to Asmorphia organizing it to make it easier to see.

“See. “What should I give you?”

[First of all, you can give all the skills that can be used even if you don’t have a body.]

“It’s a skill that can be used without a body..”

[Of course, you will bear part of the penalty…]

After much deliberation, Kang In-ho handed over 4 additional skills to Agap.

These were squad command, quality maintenance, trace observation, and ability sealing, respectively. In particular, Kang In-ho handed over trace observation and I wanted to scream at the fact that I could now completely escape from this tiresome self-talk and random thoughts.

[It’s a little neater. But this… Trace observation… I keep trying to talk to myself.]

“Huh..?”

He didn’t even think about it.

He realized that instead of the terrible self-talk and random thoughts he was carrying disappearing, his soulmate was now carrying that burden instead.

Moreover, he did not know that an even more terrible future awaited him in the future, where he would have to listen to himself instead of talking to himself.

“Damn..”

A choice that will make you vomit.

Muttering to yourself all day VS Listening to yourself muttering all day.

Kang In-ho lost his mind.

[I will restrain myself as much as possible, so don’t worry.]

“Ah. Thank goodness.”

Kang In-ho hoped that Agaf would not be encroached by the penalty.

“Then..”

He finally opened the green reward box.

It was a box obtained by trading the three people I had captured and killed earlier.

[Rune Stone of Evolution: When used on a weapon, it greatly increases durability and grants 2 random effects.]

“This is it.”

The rune stone of evolution that came out at just the right time.

Kang In-ho immediately took out the rust-worn shield from his inventory and applied quality maintenance through Agap.

“Wow..”

Originally, when using Grade A quality maintenance, the penalty was to vomit 0.1 liters of blood, but since Agaf halved the penalty to some extent, Kang In-ho was able to use quality maintenance with only a little hemoptysis.

[Liberated Shield-Jin: All power has been liberated. Rigidity is maximized. Doubles all physical abilities until durability drops below 100. All skills that can be used as weapons are maximized.]

[Durability 100/100]

“Kya…!”

As expected, this time, like with the rust-worn sword, the locked power was released and the shield’s true form was revealed.

It was a kite shield made entirely of metal with a fairly neat appearance.

Kang In-ho applied the rune stone of evolution directly to the shield.

[Shield of the Liberated Wall – Jin: All power has been liberated. Rigidity is maximized. Doubles all physical abilities until durability drops below 100. All skills that can be used as weapons are maximized.]

[Additional effect: When fed with a magic stone, it emits light that drives away unclean beings.]

[Additional effect: If damage exceeds a certain level, a shock wave is emitted forward.]

[Durability 300/300]

“Wow…”

Kang In-ho now has a long sword and shield. With these two, it seemed like there was nothing to be afraid of. Just by holding it right now, your physical capabilities increase four-fold.

This alone was already an absurd effect. However, if you use the warrior’s old ring and the dark moon ring…

‘A body that does not die even when shot is completed.’

Durability will be ridiculously high. Kang In-ho felt joy.

[You don’t use the command stone?]

“I plan to save that to use when gauntlets or armor come out.”

[I see.]

After answering Agaf’s question lightly, Kang In-ho fastened his shield to his left forearm. This is because it is easier to use it right away by holding it on your arm rather than holding it in your hand. Moreover, since my hands were empty, it was nice to hold something different.

Meanwhile, while Kang In-ho was licking his shield her with his eyes her, Yoo Sae-yeon, who was searching the second floor bedroom, uncovered a portrait of her with her face torn off, and she discovered a safe her hidden behind it.

“This is..”

It was a safe that opened when you entered a four-digit number. At first glance, Yoo Sae-yeon hurriedly called Kang In-ho because it looked like there was a lot of stuff hidden.

“Inho!”

“Sister, why!”

“Sister, what’s going on!?”

Accordingly, not only Kang In-ho but also the rest of the party gathered in the study. Everyone rushed to the call of Yoo Sae-yeon, the weakest member.

“Uh… Well, it’s nothing special. Here, look at this.”

“Hmm..? “This is a safe.”

Of course, no one knew the safe’s password. Since no one even had the unlocking skill, the only way to open the safe was to find the password.

“Where can I find my password?”

“Is there something in this place that could be a clue?”

“Let’s find out.”

So the five of them searched the inside of the house more thoroughly. However, there was nothing found anywhere that could be a clue to the password.

“Oh my.”

In the end, a situation arises where I had to just leave the safe behind. Because we couldn’t delay any more time.

“Do I have to leave this behind?”

“But no matter how much I search, I can’t find any clues.”

“There is no way.”

At a time when everyone had given up, Kang In-ho pulled out his sword.

“W-what are you trying to do?”

“No way..”

“Okay. That’s the theory. “Ayoon, can you help me?”

“Huh.”

Baek Ayun immediately pulled out the axe.

Then I stood next to Kang In-ho.

“You’re thinking of taking it with you to the safety.”

“There’s nothing you can do about it. I saw it and I have to take it. If you take it, Seunghee will open it for you.”

Hehe. That’s right.”

Soon, the two men swung their respective weapons at the wall.

At the same time, a crushing blow was activated, the wall was shattered, and the safe was completely revealed.

“Oh..”

Kang In-ho did not hit the safe directly with a crushing blow. I was worried that something inside might break.

“Ughtcha.”

Since the safe was not that big, Yoo Sae-yeon whined and put the safe into her inventory. With this, Kang In-ho was able to secure the safe.

“Didn’t you all have anything special to take care of?”

“Yes. “There were some unidentified canned goods in the kitchen, but I felt uncomfortable so I didn’t take them.”

“There was nothing special in the study over there.”

“There were quite a few clothes in the storage room. “I didn’t find anything useful, brother.”

“I see.”

Kang In-ho nodded his head and showed the water dogs he found in his bag.

“Wow. “I’ve collected quite a few of these guys.”

“How many medicines are there?”

“There is also food. This…”

“Beans? Beans?”

“Sister, it says fish and chips here.”

“Could it be that they were British people?”

Everyone in the group decided to just throw away the strange canned food and go. I have hundreds of domestic canned goods, so there was no reason to pack tasteless British canned goods.

“And take this too. This time it’s Hyuna.”

“Wow, thank you.”

Kang In-ho handed Kim Hyun-ah an awakening stone containing a flame bullet. For reference, the presence detection that I got from killing the Finns earlier was given to Baek A-yoon, and the strength enhancement was given to Yoo Sae-ah.

Since Yusae had been taught leather harvesting for a long time, she was finally able to give each person a skill one by one.

“Okay then, let’s go again.”

At Kang In-ho’s words, the group packed their bags.

It was time to escape the labyrinth and farm skills again.
