Episode 247: The Wall of Innocence (1)

Looking at the name and description, it was similar to the traffic light fist used by Deseo, whom I had previously fought against.

It can use a formation similar to the Brain Shock, but has three color options and different functions.

【Enemy Circle – Slows the movement speed of enemies passing through a 5m radius area by 65%. You can specify enemies.】

A red circular jinn.

There was a slowing effect on the target’s movement.

【Hwang Won-jin – In a 5m radius area, the speed of long-range projectiles (skills, thrown weapons, etc.) is slowed by 65%.】

A yellow circular gin.

The speed at which skill spheres or daggers fly can be greatly slowed down within that area.

【Green Circle – Enemies within a 5m radius will have their vision distorted. You can specify enemies.

There is no problem with your vision.】

Green circular gin.

This is the occurrence of vision distortion. It can neutralize precise sniping or targeted attacks.

For a moment, I thought how great it would be if I could ‘swipe’ this skill based on my abundant mana.

【Only one can be installed in each area, and the area can be activated using a weapon as a medium.

】 If a weapon is pulled out of the ground or placed in the same area repeatedly, it will disappear.

But the system’s skills weren’t that sloppy. Rather, if you were meticulous, you wouldn’t know.

Looking at the detailed tooltip, it was a skill that consumed a lot of mana.

I thought I knew why Deseo couldn’t write with ease.

It takes mana once during the setup phase, and then continuously requires mana during the maintenance phase.

If Kang-hoo wants to use this skill.

When Mad Solarium was not effective, there was a high possibility that you would feel a headache, big or small, every time you installed it.

‘It’s good for creating variables. It’s an interesting skill. It feels like I’ve gained three skills.’

Kang-hoo made a satisfied expression.

Red Wonjin, Yellow Wonjin, Green Wonjin.

I feel like there are many opportunities to use it effectively and meaningfully, depending on the need.

* * *

After Kang-hoo finished stealing all the skills, he grabbed the sphere and entered the activated special space.

It was as if I was standing in the middle of the universe, with countless stars all around me.

Even though it clearly appeared to be floating in the air, it was possible to move by stepping on an invisible ground.

Warm. Warm. Warm.

In the front, an activated reward was waiting for Kang-hoo.

As of now, only a square box is visible, so it is impossible to guess what is inside.

Will I get a skill book like in Jang Si-hwan’s case? Or will I get a weapon like in Chae Gwan-hyeong’s case?

And now, what kind of reward did Park Dong-jae get from it?

Perhaps because it was the enemy’s future compensation that was intended and taken from the beginning, Kang-hoo also felt nervous in a good way.

That you can become stronger.

It was so good on its own.

When writing as the original author, Kang-hoo was always curious about how much rapid growth would provide vicarious satisfaction to the readers.

I felt excited and nervous when I experienced it firsthand. On the other hand, I felt joy at the fact that I had achieved it.

Gulp.

Kang-hoo, who swallowed dry saliva without realizing it, opened the box. Then, a skill book appeared.

“no way?”

Assassin skill book?

When I was wondering if the rewards were activated to fit my job, something unexpected happened.

Shaaaaah!

Suddenly, a golden flash of light began to emanate from the skill book.

“and.”

Kang-hoo, who rarely lets out a gasp, was surprised. Who would have thought that a hidden skill would come out here!

There are only 77 hidden skills in the Hunter World. The chance to obtain one of them has come ‘again’.

Kang-hoo already has a hidden skill, ‘Baekil Slash/Heukwol Slash’, that he acquired before. It is his second hidden skill.

“Yeah. This is the right time to call it a coincidence. Isn’t this the main character’s correction?”

Kang-hoo laughed.

The conversation had already ended with the hidden skill appearing. Kang-hoo grabbed the skill book with a trembling heart.

【Wall of Integrity】

First of all, the classification was not an assassin-type classification. It was marked as a general skill.

This means that since it is a skill that can be used in any class, there is no penalty for anyone to learn it.

Kang-hoo’s gaze moved down to the explanation related to the Wall of Innocence.

【You can increase the durability of the rechargeable magic shield to 1,000 magic points.

When durability is completely consumed, the magic shield will break and ‘Perfect Flaw’ will be activated, granting 100% absolute resistance to all attributes for 3 seconds.】

“If it’s a magical energy source… … if it breaks during battle, it’ll be difficult to recharge it while fighting.”

The total amount of horsepower required is quite large.

Considering the magical power of Kang-hoo, who has stat 21, this is an amount that must be filled and emptied approximately 50 times.

It seemed to be a skill that required careful charging to fill up durability in advance, either outside of combat or during normal times.

And something like Desolation, which is specially activated only when the protective barrier skill is destroyed.

There was an advantage when the Wall of Infinity was broken, but the level was beyond imagination.

Is it because it’s a hidden skill?

When Perfect Flaw is activated, you are invincible to all attribute attacks for 3 seconds. The absolute resistance is 100%.

It is a privilege that is not easily obtained.

When Perfection is activated, it is safe to say that all skills that come into the Hunter of the Magic World are immune.

【Skill implementation is done to the left of the caster.

The Wall of Integrity is created horizontally from the caster’s left elbow to the tip of the middle finger.

The vertical length is expressed as the distance from the center of the crown to the location of the sole of the foot.

You can choose to enable/disable it as per your need.

However, the shield of the Integrity Wall itself cannot physically hit the opponent.】

“Is this the posture? I think this will protect my entire body.”

After confirming the explanation that followed, Kang-hoo raised his left arm and took a blocking stance.

This will provide full body protection from frontal attacks.

It’s hard to use the left arm because it has to spread the wall of innocence, but it doesn’t really matter since the right hand is the main hand anyway.

Moreover, the wall of innocence will remain intact until its durability runs out.

After the defensive action is over, it is possible to fight while holding the dual daggers. You can just deactivate them.

If it’s a skill of any level, this should be the end of the explanation of the special benefits the caster can enjoy.

But there was more to the majesty of the hidden skill.

【The Integrity Wall absorbs damage from attacks until its durability reaches 0, but it cannot absorb shock.

However, if the durability is higher than what the durability can withstand, it can be defended at least once only when the durability is 333 or higher.

“Oh.”

There are two interesting things.

First, let’s say someone shoots you with a high-powered sniper rifle.

Then, the damage that Matan could inflict on himself will be blocked by the unfolded wall of innocence and disappear.

However, the pushing force that occurs when a bullet collides with an unstable wall is transmitted.

A picture like this would probably portray a situation where the body is pushed backwards while the wall of innocence is spread out.

The key is what follows.

If the durability exceeds the tolerable level, it means that the wall of innocence is literally broken.

In that case, unlike other defensive skills, the remaining damage is not transferred to the caster.

It meant that once the Wall of Integrity was broken, the attack could be neutralized.

In simple terms, if there is a wall of innocence, the opponent’s one-hit kill skill will definitely be cut at least once.

Of course, this is subject to the premise that the durability must be at least 333.

“That’s why it became a hidden skill.”

Kang-hoo highly valued the fact that he could ‘unconditionally’ neutralize the opponent’s ultimate technique once.

Moreover, the Wall of Integrity is rechargeable.

If you can recharge it and restore its durability, you can disable it again. It’s an infinite cycle.

“It’ll be hard to keep this hidden skill hidden for long.”

Unlike the ‘Black Moon Slash/White Day Slash’ that was used to determine the enemy’s end.

The Wall of Integrity seemed like it would be used a lot in regular combat.

Unless you were going to spend your entire life playing solo in secret, the Wall of Infinity was likely to become known sooner or later.

It didn’t matter anyway.

It’s not that I can’t make kimchi because I’m scared of maggots. If I’m scared of that and don’t use my skills, that’s even crazier.

“Learning.”

I just tore the skill book apart.

As for how to use it, if you study the skill book, it will naturally become familiar to you. There is no need to practice it separately.

【The succession is in progress.】

【’Wall of Integrity’ has been activated.】

【The following information will be sent to all those who have acquired the hidden skill.】

【Obtain the ‘Wall of Integrity’.】

【Universal skill.】

The learning was over quickly.

As Kang-hoo had expected, the most recommended defensive stance was to raise and block.

Then, you can have almost perfect forward defense. If you hide behind the wall, there is no problem.

“It’s not an assassin-only skill, but I got the skill I need the most, and it’s a hidden skill. As expected… … Luck is luck.”

Now you can have both high-speed maneuverability and high-efficiency defense at the same time.

For an assassin, the defensive ability is inversely proportional to the level of assassination ability.

Kang-hoo was able to catch two rabbits that he could never catch. It was the power of chance.

* * *

Same time.

“What the heck. What is this hidden skill all of a sudden? Which kid got this skill? Huh?”

Boom!

Vincent Meyer, who had noticed the hidden skill notification, kicked the desk he was sitting at with his front foot.

Vincent wants to steal the hidden skills that other hunters have acquired with fire in his eyes.

That’s why he was disappointed because he couldn’t find the hidden skill exclusive to assassins that he had learned about last time.

But then, out of nowhere, a hunter appeared who had acquired a hidden skill called the ‘Wall of Integrity.’

Just by looking at the name, it was obvious what this skill would be used for.

The assassin skill from last time was hard to find because the owner would use it in a way that would not be revealed.

The Wall of Integrity seemed easier to find than expected.

It will certainly be of great use in battle, and as the number of witnesses increases, there is a very good chance that it will become known to the world.

“Later, if someone is identified… … they’ll definitely take it away. I can’t stand to see guys who don’t even know how to use hidden skills properly get lucky and brag about it.”

Vincent’s twisted greed wasn’t something that started yesterday or today.

Elizabeth, who was quietly drinking tea next to him, also looked at Vincent, who was close to her, with pity.

“Do you hate it that much?”

“Oh. There’s no one in the world better than me. So even my hidden skills are too much for them.”

“It’s scary because it’s so true.”

“I’m not joking. Those brats who don’t know how to be humble and live in the snobbery of their own lives should all be killed.”

“And you?”

“I was originally good.”

“… … Okay. I’ll be careful with my words.”

“The Infinite Wall. The Infinite Wall. The Infinite Wall! I’m gonna get it. Who are you? Just get caught, F*ck!”

Vincent’s eyes glowed red.

Vincent wasn’t the only one who had similar thoughts after seeing the hidden skill notification.

Many hunters with twisted greed and a desire to increase their hidden skills had the same thought.

Someone has a hidden skill that seems quite useful. It will definitely be discovered someday.
