Chapter 22.2: Floating Veil (3)
The light of the pattern burst brightly and slowly was absorbed into my body.
I was feeling the elation in the middle of it, but suddenly the part I was stepping on crumbled and gravity pulled me down.
“Ugh…”
Just like that, my body fell and crashed on the ground.
I let out a suppressed moan and rolled onto the floor for a moment.
As I struggled in pain like that, the intense pain that had been piercing my back, as if a bone had been broken, soon disappeared.
“Ah, shit.”
I rubbed my back and lifted myself up.
Anyway, with this I got the mystery of the floating veil.
It was the same when I got super regeneration. From the moment I got floating veil, I had a sense of what kind of ability it was and how to use it.
I stretched out my arms forward for no reason and activated the floating veil.
“…!”
I couldn’t see it with my eyes, but I could feel a protective barrier spreading around my body.
I was amazed for a moment, but then I realized something and immediately recalled my ability.
Then I muttered with a slightly puzzled expression.
“No… was the penalty not being able to breathe?”
Floating veil.
Absolute defense ability that could block any powerful attack.
However, the penalty was that the caster could not take any action while the veil was open.
So in the game, it was used as an invincible skill that chewed the boss’s ultimate skill.
But when I tried using it myself… not only could I not move while using this ability, I couldn’t even breathe.
I tried the ability once again.
As I practiced and used my abilities several times, I soon realized something was different.
This did not last continuously once used, but can be canceled at will, and there was no cooldown or activation delay.
Unlike in the game, it became an on-off type of ability that could be freely turned on and off.
I didn’t know if the form of the ability had changed to match the reality, but it could be said that it was much improved than the game, anyway.
However, while the veil was active, no action could be taken, and even breathing was impossible.
“I get it roughly.”
I thought it was a decent penalty.
To be honest, it didn’t feel like a huge penalty to me.
Because I didn’t have any ability other than instant kill, so if I tried to use this ability, how would I use it?
Wouldn’t I rather use it mostly just to stand still and block my opponent’s attacks, anyway?
I just have to hold my breath for a while, and if I have to keep it activated, I can control it by turning it off and on in between.
Assuming this and that, I thought about how to use the floating veil in different situations.
In addition, it was possible to control the shape and size of the veil.
I could spread the veil to stick to my body like armor, or I could spread it around the body in a spherical shape, like a barrier of magic.
This was a great defensive ability.
“It’s good.”
Besides super regeneration, I felt reassured at the thought that I now had one more means to protect myself.
I brushed the dust off my body and looked around.
After obtaining the mystery, the scenery of the cavity came into view.
There were traces of people’s lives, such as desks and beds.
I wandered around and looked around to see if there was anything else I could get, but nothing came of it.
After looking around the cavity one last time, I moved toward the aisle.
After passing through the passage I passed through and coming out of the first joint, I saw Asher, who was wary of the surroundings.
When she saw me, she seemed a little relieved.
She was nervous that the same stone statue from earlier would come out.
In the end, I did not know what this dungeon was.
Maybe this was a dungeon that someone had already robbed, but I thought maybe mystery formed behind it because of an unfortunate coincidence.
Whatever it was, I got what I wanted, so I didn’t care anymore.
“Let’s go out.”
I moved to the aisle leading outside with Asher.
