Solo Leveling

Just saw the power of the new skill too.

Can turn defeated monsters into living dead.

Then the monster that urgently needs to extract the shadow is nearby!

Jin-Woo stood on top of the pile of armor that was once a puppet.

Higher ones can see the interior of the dungeon at a glance.

'...'

Jin-Woo's eyes became sharp as he looked around.

found it!

After confirming the direction, Jin-Woo immediately ran there.

Step, step, step, step!

I don't know if it was because of excitement, but Xiao Yu arrived at the place very quickly without using the 'running skill.

Gulp.

Looking at the monster whose shadow was about to be extracted, Jin-Woo swallowed his saliva.

The guy was in the same place when he died.

'Bloody Jagrit. '

The red knight whose body lost half of his head and was embedded in the wall could tell how intense the situation was just by looking at him.

Jin-Woo stood in front of Jagrit.

The terrible enemy who threatened his life just a few hours ago.

But it becomes the best material now.

Fortunately, like other knights, black smoke was lingering from Jagrit's body.

[The shadow of the other party can be extracted. 】

Jin-Woo became cheerful.

'very good. '

I already know the method.

Jin-Woo exhaled and said the password.

"stand up."

Extract the password of the shadow skill.

But the skill didn't activate.

'...?'

When the puzzled Xiao-Woo wanted to say the password again, there was a warning sound with a jingle.

[The number of shadows that can be extracted has been exceeded. 】

[If you want to re-extract the shadow, you can send some or all of the soldiers back to the void world by "unextracting"]

[The shadow soldier who was sent back to the void world cannot be summoned again. 】

[Number of shadows that can be extracted: 30/30]

The number of extractable shadows is only thirty.

It shows that the number of soldiers formed now is exactly thirty...

Jin-Woo looked back.

I don't know when the soldiers who came with him have already stood in line.

'When did you follow me?'

The shadow soldiers are as their name suggests, neat and tidy.

Anyway, if you want to extract Jagrit's shadow, you can only disarm one of the thirty soldiers as the system warned.

'but......'

It's just that we got along for a short time, but when I think of it as my own soldier, it's hard to get rid of it easily.

Feelings developed in such a short while, hey.

Jin-Woo looked at each soldier with pity.

The soldier's name and rank are displayed when they come into contact with the line of sight.

[Shadow Infantry Lv.1]

normal level

【Shadow Infantry Lv.1】

normal level

All with the same name and rank.

'That's right, the foundation is the same. '

But among a group of infantry, I saw three different guys.

'That is......?'

Unlike infantry, soldiers wearing cloaks.

【Shadow Magic Soldier Lv.1】

Elite level

"what."

It was immediately clear who the three of them were.

The three magicians who manipulated the puppets also became the living dead under the command to stand up.

'Twenty-seven foot soldiers and three magicians. '

So rare things are more expensive.

A small number of magic soldiers were excluded from disarming, and finally the nearest infantry was selected.

...Sorry.

"Release extraction."

Shout-

The soldiers became a cloud of black mist and dissipated in the void.

Not a trace was left.

'...'

Jin-Woo, who expressed his condolences for that guy's departure, looked back at Yegrit.

Now get ready.

A soldier was also sacrificed in order to extract Yegrid's shadow. Be sure to get the corresponding benefits.

They say strike while the iron is hot.

Jin-Woo immediately tried to extract the shadow.

"stand up."

Unlike just now, Jagrit's shadow began to twist as if alive.

It's the same as when I just extracted the shadows of the soldiers.

'very good!'

Jin-Woo clenched his fists.

It feels good.

[Start to extract shadows. 】

【Trying to extract】

What kind of appearance will Yegrid appear in front of my eyes?

Jin-Woo broke into a sweat.

but.

Bang!

There was the sound of metal cracking, and at the same time there was a mechanical sound.

[Shadow extraction failed. 】

"what?"

[You still have two chances left. 】

"Huming-"

He was relieved to hear that there was still a chance.

'So it seems...'

It is also mentioned in the skill description that depending on the target's ability value, the possibility of extraction failure will also increase.

But experiencing it in person is still frightening.

The first time you failed, you were as sober as if you had been punched.

And there is a limit on the number of times.

'Only two chances left...'

If you fail twice, will you return to the void world like the soldier just now?

Thinking of the worst-case scenario, Jin-Woo started to get nervous.

Jin-Woo shook his head.

'Don't think ominous things. '

Think positively.

As long as you truly believe, doesn't it mean that the universe will also help?

Jin-Woo started the second extraction with anxiety and anticipation.

"stand up."

But it is completely different from expectations.

Bang!

[Shadow extraction failed. 】

[You still have one chance left. 】

'...'

It's so worrying when you're alive, but it's not worrying when you're dead.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Unexpectedly, it really failed the second time, Xiao-Woo felt hopeless.

call-

Jin-Woo took a deep breath.

This is the last chance.

Last chance left for me.

Jin-Woo closed his eyes and organized his thoughts.

'It may be purely a matter of probability...'
