“…”

My consciousness returned and I slowly opened my eyes. I felt a soft mattress underneath me and read the sentences that blocked my view.

[New Episode Complete — You have succeeded in stopping the devil.] [Your authority, Devil Hunter, has increased after inflicting fatal damage to the materialized devil.] [You have acquired 485 SP] [Your Master Sharpshooter proficiency has dramatically increased.] [Algorithm and aether’s maximum outputs have been enhanced.] [Aether partially understands the existence of a devil now.] [Your physical lifespan has been reduced by 3 years.]

Of course, the message about my lifespan stood out the most.

“Huuu.”

I raised my upper body with a sigh. I expected [Overclocking] to have some side effects, but added 2 additional streaks of stigma because I thought it wouldn’t be enough. Of course, I probably should’ve realized a materialized devil would be weaker than an actual devil.

[Damage inflicted on the materialized devil Morax: 96%]

I either underestimated myself or overestimated the devil. I ended up inflicting 96% of the damage by myself. My single attack probably left it on its last breath while the others finished off the remaining 4%.

“How do you feel?”

I heard a voice as I checked my condition. Jin Sahyuk stood there as I turned around.

“Fine,” I briefly answered her.

I lost 3 years of my life, but didn’t worry much.

[Abnormal Status] Major wound — You have lost 3 years...
