Chapter 202: Abyss (4)
[‘Abyss’ attribute is 1%…….]
[‘Abyss’ attribute is 3%…….]
The fog thinned out as Hayang’s attribute continuously rose. She had absorbed all the nearby fog when…
[Abyss attribute increases by 8%!]
[92% left until the Abyss attribute is fully blood!]
She was able to obtain a whopping 8% attribute.
―Oh.
―My.
―God.
Leluya looked at the little bird with wide eyes. She also knew about Kim Minwoo’s pet bird.
It had shown itself a few tis when she stayed at his house for two days.
However, she didn’t know it had such a monstrous(?) ability.
―This bird.
―What the hell is it?
―It’s fine after absorbing the abyss?
“Rainbow Phoenix. Ever heard of it?”
―Rainbow Phoenix?
―I’ve never heard of it.
―Is it a divine beast?
Kim Minwoo nodded.
It wasn’t strange that she didn’t know Rainbow Phoenix, as not all witches know everything.
‘Now there’s only one attribute left.’
Hayang can absorb a total of seven attributes. So far, five attributes have been absorbed.
Ice, fire, wind, earth, lightning.
The remaining two slots were saved.
He was thinking of absorbing it later if he saw a good attribute. He didn’t know that the abyss would be treated as an attribute.
“Was it delicious?”
―Coo!
Hayang, who nodded vigorously, sat on his shoulder.
“The surroundings are very clean, aren’t they? It’s much easier to breathe.”
It was as Park Siwoo said.
The inner sea, where the pitch-black abyss had disappeared, was just a gray space itself.
There was no ntal attack or trauma stimulation that Leluya had warned about before entering.
‘Well. I absorbed 8%.’
Although the figure of 8% seems small, it was by no ans small.
Caesar Continent of the Orc Gate.
100% of the ice attribute that covered that vast continent was absorbed.
8% was like absorbing the attributes of several cities.
Seo Yerim, who was looking at Hayang as if she was amazing, said.
“But why did you stay still in the outer sea? There was a lot of fog there too.”
“Noona, Hayang is very picky. I know because I’ve seen him eat a lot.”
“Picky?”
“It used to eat Magic rank food deliciously, but these days it doesn’t even touch Rare rank food. Am I right, hyung?”
“That’s not wrong.”
When he t the guild mbers from ti to ti.
Siwoo would occasionally buy attribute items, intending to give them to Hayang. However, only a few were even touched.
‘Her taste has gotten quite refined.’
He wondered if there is such a thing as ‘taste’ in the attributes contained in the item.
It definitely seed to be there.
Especially after feeding it a large amount of Legend rank items at the Sky Auction House.
These days, she wouldn’t even touch Magic rank items.
‘Feeding it doesn’t have much effect anyway.’
[Na: Hayang]
[Species: Rainbow Phoenix]
[Attributes held: Absolute zero 1.05%, Fire 60.3%, Wind 59.31%, Electricity 61.23%, Earth 64.42%, Abyss 8.03%]
This was especially true for the ice attribute, which had grown into Absolute Zero. Compared to the other attributes that had entered the 50% to 60% range.
The Absolute Zero attribute, which had entered the advanced stage, had only increased by a asly amount from 1% to 1.05%.
She would probably need to be fed sothing much more expensive than Magic or Rare rank items to see any change.
One fortunate thing was that even though the amount of food(?) she ate, had significantly decreased compared to before, her activity wasn’t greatly affected.
She wouldn’t be a divine beast for nothing.
“Hayang. Can you eat more of what you just ate?”
―Coo!
Hayang nodded vigorously as if there was still a lot of capacity left.
She licked her lip with the small tongue of hers, as if to show that the fog of the inner sea suits her taste. It’s like a kind of special al.
“Leluya. How wide is the inner sea?”
―The place we’re standing on is just a small part of the inner sea.
―That bird…….
―Coo!
―What? Bird, suddenly interrupting.
―Coo!
―Are you angry that I called you a bird?
―Coo! Coo.Cooo.Coooo!
―Ha. Ya. Ng?
―Coo!
Hayang readily nods.
Seeing that, Park Siwoo asked curiously.
“Huh? Ms. Leluya, can you communicate?”
―……I roughly guessed. It seems the issue was the na. It’s quite a clever bird, no, divine beast.
Leluya, who was silent for a mont, continued speaking.
In conclusion, the space Hayang purified was only about 10% of the entire inner sea.
As the fog disappeared and the view opened up, a very wide open space could be seen far away.
An area like that is 10%…….
It was definitely wide.
“Siah. It seems like you can save the buff.”
“Okay. But, um, will it be alright? I understand it eats attributes, but not all attributes are the sa…”
Han Siah looked at Hayang with a worried face.
The abyss, resembling the pitch-black fog.
She wondered if it was really okay to eat sothing like that.
“She’ll be fine. It’s a divine beast. It was the sa when I ate the ice attribute.”
The cold that freezes the continent.
Hayang was fine even after absorbing all of that. Perhaps due to her high intelligence, she had the ability to thoroughly distinguish between what she could and couldn’t eat.
If it felt like it would get sick from eating it, it wouldn’t have touched it in the first place.
‘Besides, the attribute was obtained anyway.’
It had to be utilized effectively.
To do that, the attribute had to be increased, and the only place to obtain it was the abyssal sea. This was because he had never seen the abyss attribute contained in an item. Therefore, the plan was to break through the inner sea using Hayang.

‘Then the attributes will increase significantly too……’
Moreover, the abyss attribute wasn’t just present in this inner sea.
After the inner sea was the deep sea.
After the deep sea was the extre sea.
And after the extre sea was the oblivion sea.
He couldn’t reach the deepest part right away, but if he periodically visited to absorb the abyss?
It would definitely rise much faster than the ice attribute that had evolved into an advanced attribute.
‘Sweet.’
It was an unexpected attribute, but maybe it was for the better?
Just then.
Leluya looked around and said,
―The Abyss Lord cos out to breathe.
―He stays in the inner sea area where the concentration of the abyss is low for a certain period. In other words, it ans it will be stimulated by the actions of that bird, no, divine beast.
―It’s like the air disappearing for humans. Be careful. He might co first.
Everyone nodded.
* * *
The process of breaking through the inner sea continued.
Contrary to Leluya’s warning, the journey was quite peaceful.
Hayang absorbed the attribute, and they advanced through the empty gray space.
In the anti, Hayang’s abyss attribute rose to 35%, and Kim Minwoo was also able to understand the abyss attribute to so extent.
[‘Hayang’ shares attributes with its owner!]
[You can use the ‘Abyss’ attribute!]
[Abyss attribute resistance increased by 35%…]
Black fog covers the sword.
“…Trauma trigger.”
The abyss was such a gloomy attribute.
He realized this after sparring with Park Siwoo as an experint.
Clashing swords.
When the attribute traveled through the body and consud the opponent, that’s when the abyss truly showed its power.
When the attribute ratio was low, around 8%, the effect wasn’t dramatic.
According to Siwoo, it just brought up a few bad mories. For example, being briefly bullied by older boys at the orphanage. It was a mory he could laugh off.
In Seo Yelim’s case, he heard she recalled a mory of falling hard.
Even that mory didn’t co back vividly. It was just a fleeting mory, like a scent briefly passing by the nose.
Therefore, it didn’t have a big impact on the sparring. Both of them would ask for a spar whenever they had ti, and the abyss attribute was simply used as a ntal stimulation and overcoming factor.
Laughing off bad mories would often make them disappear.
But as the proportion of the abyss increased, so did the intensity of the trauma and fear it triggered.
When it started to exceed 20%, both of them started sweating.
When it exceeded 30%, the sparring was temporarily stopped. Park Siwoo, in particular, seed greatly shocked.
He approached Siwoo, who looked depressed.
“…Are you okay?”
“…Phew, I’m sorry. So bad mories ca to mind.”
“What kind of mories?”
“…Did I tell you before? Before coming to the orphanage, I lost my parents in an accident.”
“Don’t tell …”
“Yes. It’s a childhood mory, so it’s very faint. I thought I had forgotten it… but suddenly those mories flashed before my eyes. The park was on fire. My sister was crying. My father was blocking the monster…”
‘I think I know what it is.’
Park Siwoo had an accident before coming to the orphanage. It was part of his character story that he lost his parents in an A-rank gate that erupted in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do.
“I’m sorry.”
“Why are you sorry, hyung? I was the one who asked to spar. I’m the one who should be sorry. I ruined the mood… Honestly, I thought I could handle it. Ah, but it’s not easy. It’s a very tricky attribute. I’d rather just have physical pain like ice or fire…”
“Let’s take a break from sparring for a while. Have you asked Siah for treatnt?”
“…Yes. I feel a little better. I’m just feeling a little… down.”
Kim Minwoo nodded.
Han Siah was an excellent priest, so she could also heal ntal issues. However, it was only for refreshing the mind, not a skill to completely erase bad mories.
“Ha. But I feel better knowing that you’ve gained a good ability, hyung.”
He smiled weakly.
“But what’s surprising is that this kind of ntal attack is a daily occurrence in the inner sea, right? If it weren’t for Hayang.”
“That’s right. The intensity wouldn’t have been as strong as it is now, but the fog is spread everywhere. On the other hand, you were directly hit by the attribute that Hayang gathered.”
“…Are you okay, hyung?”
“Yeah. When you handle an attribute, resistance also increases. It seems to be helping.”
Kim Minwoo also recalled so past events.
It wasn’t the mory of the ga character ‘Kim Minwoo’, but the mory of ‘Kim Woojin’, the player before coming here.
The content of the mory was simple.
It was just a mory of a very lonely ti. His parents died in an accident, leaving him with a considerable inheritance.
Relatives swarming around him like dogs.
mories like that.
The guardian appointed by his father was a very good person, so it was resolved without any major problems, but otherwise, it would have been a ss.
‘…Co to think of it, that person bought the ga capsule.’
Back then, he spent all day in his room like a recluse, and it was as if he had been saved by his guardian.
He was a very grateful person.
‘…I can’t rember his face.’
In the mory that ca up, it was as if the guardian’s face had been erased with an eraser.
He couldn’t rember the guardian’s na. He couldn’t picture their face.
He didn’t know what their gender was.
What was their way of speaking like?
He had clearly known this person since he was very young.
“…Why did I forget?”
Suddenly, he realized a very strange fact. A person he had interacted with as much as, or even more than, his parents.
But he had forgotten them.
Was it because of the busy days he had after possessing this body?
It wasn’t such a trivial standard.
Like an eraser.
All mories had been forgotten.
It was the sa now.
He was sure the mory of the guardian ca up during the spar with Park Siwoo.
But he almost forgot again.
Sothing was strange.
