Trait Hoarder Chapter 259

Kim Jeon Sa, Building Traits Episode 259

Shadow Temple –1-

Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do.

I looked down at the craftsman’s village from afar.

The red cougar was hidden in a remote mountain.

If you enter openly, you will definitely be caught by the old father’s sect.

Red flying car.

No matter how much you use stealth as a knight trait, you still stand out.

‘How big was it?’

The Shadow Temple is no match for even the largest church in the world.

Bigger than the World Cup stadium?

‘The center was the iron workshop.’

Death craftsman Cho Cheol.

In this world, he is known as the old father of the believers, but in fact, he is a person who plays a more central role.

A key member of the old Father’s Sect, he appears in Episode 3 as one of the eight mid-bosses.

Here, they created and maintained an artisan village.

It must have also played a big role in the construction of the underground shadow temple.

‘It was 400 meters long and wide.’

Square shape when viewed from above.

Similar size to the craftsman village.

That is, you just have to dig vertically from the outskirts of the craftsman village.

If you do that, you’ll get an immediate warning, but I have a better way.

I waited for night to come.

The sun has completely set, but the craftsman village is still awake.

Land! Land! Land!

The sound of a hammer being struck manually is loud.

The magical furnace is lit and all kinds of magical lights are leaking out, lighting up the craftsman village and the surrounding area in white.

I used to just pass it by without paying much attention, but seeing it today makes me feel even more suspicious.

‘If I do something wrong, I’ll get caught.’

It’s the same even if you go in wearing cover.

I can see it with my ears and my sixth sense.

The magic light that seemed to have leaked out was imbued with [Detection] and [Truth] magic.

It was a mistake to just think of it as a game background and pass it over without a second thought.

doesn’t care.

You can’t stop me like that.

I carefully chose my trait set.

[Ear eyes][Sixth sense][Stealth]

[Superpower][Astralization][Magic Soul]

Embodiment is the key.

I got as close to the craftsman village as possible and took a deep breath.

“Whoop.”

And then the spiritual transformation is activated.

It transformed into a ghost and seeped into the floor.

Darkness, or rather dirt and concrete, obscures the view, but that’s okay.

Because all you have to do is look through your ear and use the perspective contained within your ear.

Just dive in.

No, should I say ‘jamto’ (submerged soil)?

It penetrated tens of meters in one breath.

Then, a force with a heavy weight pushes me away.

‘Here it is.’

Most temples are guarded against intrusion by spirit beings.

Otherwise, you’ll be haunted by all sorts of ghosts, phantoms, and superhumans.

A barrier that will immediately sound an alarm if forcibly broken.

I placed my spirit-state hand still on the barrier.

Chijijik!

A sharp lightning struck me.

I ignored it and changed only one trait.

[Reverse]

The barrier collapses in an instant.

A boundary that will be regenerated soon anyway.

I slowly pushed my body forward.

A tingling sensation passed over me, and my vision, which had been dark, returned to normal.

The place I saw was inside a dark warehouse.

The old priests’ vestments from my father’s church were piled up neatly.

‘It’s a success.’

I stopped manifesting and looked around.

Focus your mind on the link between your intuition and the prophet.

It seems like it didn’t work because there was no particular reaction.

‘this.’

But I used my spirit form again and hid myself inside the wall.

Inside the barrier.

To the point where even if it plays, it doesn’t banish me.

The reason was simple.

Thud thud.

Beyond the door.

Because two apprentice priests were walking across the hallway.

“Ugh, it’s endless!”

“it’s tough…….”

“Oh my. There are too many people.”

“Why have you all come to our temple?”

“That’s right. There are many other temples.”

“I wish the week would pass quickly.”

“That’s why.”

Squeak.

The door opened and the apprentice priests came in.

Boys who look like they might be middle school students.

But there is divine power.

Level 1.

He was only equipped with basic [Healing Hands] and [Blessing] and was left to do odd jobs.

‘Should I kill him?’

Or maybe interrogate him?

While they were watching in conflict, the apprentice priests began to put the priestly vestments into the baskets they had brought.

“It’ll be over in a week, right?”

“Father Lee Jun said it himself. Let’s suffer for a week. Then we too can become priests.”

“Is that true? You have to be level 3 to become a priest.”

“You wouldn’t have lied, would you?”

“I don’t know.”

“Hey. Father Lee Jun doesn’t lie, just because his hands are sharp. You heard it too.”

A boy priest who pretends to lower his voice.

“I’m talking about the dedication plan.”

“I wish it could be like this. This hell could become a paradise.”

“Then, then! The old father will descend and lead the world to the kingdom of God!”

Old Father has descended!

Dedication Plan!

I slowly withdrew my hand.

I focused my magic on materializing and listened more intently.

“But what are you offering? Surely it’s not us?”

“Are you stupid? Do you think that our old father will come down just because we make an offering? Even if we make an offering of everyone in the temple, only a few hairs will come down.”

“Well… … the saint wouldn’t offer herself up, right?”

“You said you couldn’t donate it because it was already donated.”

“Huh? Really? You’ve already consecrated it?”

“Oh. The other archbishops are like that too. I don’t know exactly.”

“Oh my goodness… …May the soul of the saint be blessed.”

Two people praying while making the sign of the cross.

No, so what are you offering?

Which city are you dedicating?

I held back the urge to run out and question him.

Because it is clear from the perspective of the ear and the sixth sense that the two do not know each other.

“So that’s why the saint isn’t in the temple.”

what?

Words that make your ears perk up.

Without realizing it, I find myself putting my ear closer to the wall.

“Oh. I heard you’re planning a consecration ceremony outside. You’re talking about something like the Holy Eucharist?”

Divine body?

Not a dedicated city?

“The Holy Spirit? What is that?”

“If I knew that, I wouldn’t be here. I would have already been ordained a priest, or at least a bishop, and would be serving the saint.”

“but.”

“But I know one thing.”

The boy priest bowed down.

He whispers to his priest friend in an extremely secretive manner, as if it were a secret that would never be revealed to the world again.

“The Queen of the Night is the key to this plan.”

“Ah! The new person who came in last year?”

“Oh. The saintess was talking about something about fate lines, but I didn’t understand what she was talking about. Anyway, what are she and the saintess doing together?”

“You really know a lot.”

“Hehehe! I’m the one who did it.”

I guess you’re done with all the work.

The apprentice priests disappeared with their baskets.

I was still hiding in the wall, analyzing the words left behind by the apprentice priests.

‘Who is the Queen of the Night?’

A name that does not exist in the game.

I’ve heard of the Sword Queen, the Machine Queen, and the Winter Queen, but this is the first time I’ve heard of the Night Queen.

I get the feeling that he’s quite a big shot…

I still don’t know, even if I use my sixth sense, my magical brain, my thinking, my introspection, and my meditation.

There is too little information.

‘Should I have caught him and interrogated him?’

You can probably tell who it is just by looking at its appearance.

At least at this point, there isn’t a high-level superhuman character I don’t know.

After thinking about it that far, I shook my head.

Let’s not overdo it.

If the alarm rings, it’s a headache.

Now we need to figure out the purpose of our infiltration.

After making sure the apprentice priests were far enough away, he moved.

Security devices are visible everywhere.

CCTV, magic detectors, divine eyes, fingerprint recognition devices, magic wavelength verification devices, password input devices, etc.

But since it was already inside the barrier, it wasn’t difficult to avoid it.

Reach the center in an instant.

‘It brings back memories.’

The Shadow Temple also appears in the game.

The dungeon and home base of the Death Craftsman, Cho Cheol.

The place I was going was the innermost, a sanctuary right next to the death workshop.

A place used by the Archbishop of the Shadow Palace as an office and prayer room.

It is a place that assists the Jongno Daeshinjeon and handles all kinds of secret work.

In the current situation, this place is where all the secrets of the old father’s sect are gathered.

Including the dedication plan.

‘It’s a boundary.’

You can’t pass through walls anymore.

Because of the cooldown of the reverse flow.

A triple barrier was seen swirling around the wall.

Then I guess I’ll have to force my way through.

I watched the entrance.

Two heavily armed paladins of the level 5 knight commander class stood guarding the door leading to the inner temple.

“Whew.”

Take a long, deep breath inside the wall.

Change the characteristics.

[Kalaratri][Master of the Sword][Island War]

[One Thousand Against One][Magic Soul][Air Raid]

There is no need to hesitate.

Ignore the alarm and charge!

Jump off the wall and become lightning.

Activate Kalaratree at full power to sweep away the paladins.

“uh?”

“hmm?”

That was all the two knights could say in response.

The two are faithful to their characteristics and their magical weapons are painted to SR grade or higher.

A high-level superhuman who receives treatment equivalent to a member of the National Assembly when he goes outside.

But there was no business before my attack.

The last thing he sees is his eyes widening as the lightning sword strikes the air.

“Eww!”

“Ugh!”

All I did was scream briefly.

It turned into pitch-black charcoal, and all the magical weapons were shattered.

Naturally, the alarm sounded.

Why, why, why!

[Warning! Warning! Intruder detected! Intruder detected!]

Magic spirits scream from all directions.

So what are you going to do?

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, striking the door as the knights passed by.

It’s a whopping 8 levels.

Not level 7, but level 8.

Even though I didn’t even bother to use external magical power, my magical power, as vast as the ocean, powerfully slammed the door shut.

The door shatters in an instant.

Kwaaaaang!

A door that flies away, crumpled like a piece of paper.

All my previous cautious actions were in vain.

The triple barrier that was difficult to resolve with a spirit form was broken in vain.

I threw myself into it.

By utilizing the pre-equipped air strike.

It’s complicated inside.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The alarm is blaring and the bulkhead is falling like crazy.

It doesn’t make sense.

Because I’ve already dug inside.

A magical spirit controls the temple?

Has the electrical signal already reached the end of the sanctuary?

So what?

With the Air Raid, Phoenix Shoes, and Lightning Bolt, I am faster than lightning.

Literally, not figuratively.

After crossing the inner temple like a single bolt of lightning, it had already reached the inner archbishop’s sanctuary.

“How dare you!”

The old man who had been kneeling and praying stood up with his face trembling.

With a beard and an appearance that makes anyone who sees him say he’s a priest.

“Where is this place!”

The archbishop raises his golden staff.

A considerable amount of divine power is swept in.

Level 7.

It would have been effective enough if the opponent had not been me.

The escorting knights hesitated.

“Huh? A savior?”

“Why are you here?”

“Hmm? Kyung Jung Hyun, Kyung Joo Hyun, what do you mean?”

I have activated the Dragon Monarch’s Magic Light.

That is, at first glance, it looks like an egg ghost because of the magic light.

But everyone who knows knows.

Because of my unusual behavior.

The Archbishop didn’t seem to think so.

“asleep!”

No need.

Once again, activate Kalaratree.

I briefly thought about questioning him, but ignored him.

I thought it would be better to use my ears and intuition to find the plan rather than wasting time interrogating the fanatic.

Lightning strikes.

Lightning strikes the small sanctuary.

The archbishop shouted urgently.

“Hey, stop it!”

Clang!

The sound of rings, necklaces, and amulets breaking.

Layers of sacred defense shields are deployed.

Two knights jump out and raise their shields.

It’s pretty good.

He is the archbishop of the old father’s church.

But you didn’t know this?

[Reverse Stream][Reverse Stream]

Copy the reverse flow to the world.

Nullifies the two most powerful shields.

Then change the characteristics.

[Mars Sword Fighting][Nephilim Sword][Master of the Sword]

[One Thousand][Sacred Knight][Magic Soul]

Use two of the three major swordsmanship techniques at the same time.

It was a difficult operation method up to level 7.

It was a possible choice because it reached level 8 and not only did the magical power increase, but it also allowed the use of external magical power.

The black and white sword wriggles like a snake.

Mars’ gladiatorial techniques lead the way.

A black and white light that moved like flowing water lightly broke the shield and passed through the gap in the armor.

“Huh?”

“Ugh!”

Level 6 Advanced Knight Commander?

You’re just a puppy in front of me.

He lightly struck the neck and brought the sword down.

[Nephilim’s Sword][Kalaratree][Master of the Sword]

[Island War][Castle Knight][Magic Soul]

It wasn’t a black and white lightning strike, it was a black and white lightning strike.

A lightning bolt that turns the world black and white.

It doesn’t zigzag, it falls in a straight line.

The archbishop’s face turned pale.

I had a gut feeling about my fate.

With the two most powerful defensive shields now cancelled, it is absolutely unstoppable as the shields have not been restored yet.

“Old father!”

The last words.

It explodes like it was hit by a shell.

I backed away slightly to avoid getting splashed with blood.

I look around, catching my breath.

‘It does consume a lot of magic power.’

Even now that I’m at level 8, it’s still burdensome.

Instead, it was worth investing the magic power since it cut the level 7 archbishop by 1 second.

One thing I also learned was this.

A world trait that originally had no cooldown time.

However, it was temporarily locked because it was copied from the original.

‘I don’t have time.’

The inner temple has already been sealed.

All stationed forces will be gathered.

If I delay, I could be in danger too.

Even if you’re level 8, you won’t be able to withstand dozens of level 7 raiders.

[Ear eyes][Sixth sense][Magic brain]

[Insight][Sensitivity][Intelligence]

I looked around the sanctuary.

On one side, you can see a pile of files, magic chips, and magic spirit cases.

I picked a few that struck me.

I don’t know if there is a plan inside or not.

But my characteristics, the Golden Eye, and the Prophet’s Ring were fiercely pointing them out.

No matter what, you must take these with you.

‘okay.’

This is enough.

As soon as that feeling came, I turned around.

I crashed into the bulkhead blocking my way.

Kwaang!

A full-force body slam.

Even a wall tens of centimeters thick was meaningless.

In front of me.

In front of a level 8 superhuman.

It flew away like a crumpled piece of iron.

Easily breaks through dozens of bulkheads.

But that may not be all.

The more you break down the barrier, the more you break through it, the closer you get to its powerful presence.

Beyond the bulkhead.

In the large cavity connecting the inner and outer temples.

In the game, there was a place where you had to overcome infinite waves.

bang!

Finally, we left the inner temple.

Unobstructed view.

Flash!

Magical light focused on me.

I find myself squinting.

“We’re old friends, right?”

A person approaches me like that.

“Oh, it’s been a while.”

I’m in a wheelchair.

It’s not the light and sleek design we’ve seen before.

A heavy, dark, heavily armed combat wheelchair.

I guess that’s fine.

The superhumans standing together caught my attention.

A tower giant armed with a black-gold body armor.

A woman with a gloomy air, holding a black cross jewel sword.

A one-eyed old woman holding a super-caliber shotgun like a cane.

Some of the mid-bosses from Episode 3.

Some people might be confused.

Some people might be terrified.

But instead of being surprised, I just twisted the corners of my mouth slightly.

‘today.’

Crunch.

I pulled out my silent sword.

The pitch-black sword rose with a heavy will.

‘Break it in half.’

The Eight Wings of the Saint.

Eight mid-bosses.

Among them, the pitch-black slayer Seo Woo-jin has already been eliminated.

What kind of expression will the Saint make if four more people are eliminated?

The smile on his lips grew deeper.
