Chapter 34 – Rakshasa Mountain (1)

Regression; to return to one’s origins. My consciousness, my true self. Me, who decided to regress in spite of being the last remaining hero out of despair…to Hansung Oh’s body.

I felt my mind jolt. After a fleeting moment lasting 0.1 seconds, or perhaps even less, I regained comfort again. Filled with the strong conviction of having returned, I opened my eyes and was greeted by a different scene and atmosphere than before.

I was in a room colored in white, laying on top of a snow-white bed. A small sun was shining beyond the white curtains of this room.

‘This must be a hospital.’

An IV drip was inserted in my forearm. My whole body was rigid as if stiff, but my eyes alone were gazing steadily exactly toward the front.

The scene wasn’t all that had changed.

[Spirit synchronization rate with ‘Uriel Diablo’ has reached 69%.]
[‘Stygian Touch(Lv1)’ skill has been created.]
[Potential has increased due to increased synchronization rate with an overwhelming being.]
[4,000 points has been obtained.]
[Points are being synchronized. Remaining points 17,470.]

Was it because the synchronization rate increased? The time I spent as Uriel Diablo felt a little more vivid than a dream. The feeling was definitely different from before.

Moreover…I obtained a skill; Stygian Touch. An atrocious magic that summoned a black space and infinite hands of death that took the lives of whatever was touched. ‘Stygian Touch’ wasn’t an Authority, unlike Mind’s Eye and Dominator. Perhaps that being the case, it was granted to me as Lv1. But even if two skills had the same level, each had their respective ‘ranks’.

I attentively stared at the message regarding the skill, and an explanation automatically popped up.
