Su-ho only woke up again a long while later.
“Ugh!”
Coming to his senses, Su-ho lifted his body with a dazed look in his eyes.
“Wow.......”
A low, long sigh.
How long has it been since I felt like this?
‘I think when I was very young, I once stayed up three nights straight on youthful bravado and woke up like this.......’
He was, without question, humanity’s greatest physical specimen and a Player who had reached the pinnacle.
So at some point, even without eating or sleeping, his body always felt light and his head clear, but right now he felt languid and tired as if he had just come out of anesthesia.
‘Good grief.......’
Su-ho checked the information on the Giantification skill again.
[ Giantification ]
# Even if not of the giant race, one who bears a mighty giant’s lineage can consume their own power to become a giant for a short time.
# When Giantification is activated, the maximum size is determined by the Player’s stats, and the smaller the size is set, the longer the Giantification duration increases.
# When Giantification’s duration ends, as a rebound you will shrink in body size for the same length of time as the duration.
After reading the info, Su-ho knit his brows.
No matter how he looked, there was no line saying the rebound effect would make him drowsy.
It seemed his body had become extremely fatigued because his size suddenly grew.
‘If that’s true, the rebound risk is worse than I thought.’
He had never seen a Giantification skill exactly the same as his in his past life, but he did remember a few similar skills that enlarged the body.
So he assumed the Giantification he’d acquired this time would have that same vibe, and on the premise that it was roughly similar he ran the numbers and built the combo—if he’d slipped up, he would’ve died like a dog to Tsukuyomi.
‘I really need to be careful.’
Thinking back on it made him shiver.
If his calculations had gone awry and he hadn’t finished off Tsukuyomi right after Giantification, he would have died like a dog on the spot.
Still, he didn’t think it had been a wildly reckless try.
Boss monsters’ phases diversify the further into the latter half you go, but in the mid–Great Cataclysm period most of them still ended in the second phase.
Of course, the Corrupted Cliff Golem of the Seopjikoji Gate he cleared before could be called a third phase if you included “self-destruct,” but that was a mutual destruction brawl and hard to see as a true third phase in the genuine sense.
Su-ho narrowed his brow and closed the skill window.
Then he checked his physical condition.
After a good heavy sleep, he could use the skill again, but in the present situation that wasn’t exactly welcome news.
So he ignored it and opened the status window.
[ An Su-ho ]
