Because, from a cosmic perspective, this myth is the only natural occurrence…?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still difficult for him to comprehend things from a cosmic perspective, being just a mere creature in the grand scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo stopped pondering and turned his attention to the detailed tooltip of the new myth, Aratubank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Let’s see how impressive the effects of a mythical shield are.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three unique effects in total, and the first effect already surpassed expectations in a ‘mythical’ manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Immunity】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>| This shield cannot be destroyed and can block most non-physical damage and mental attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What?

Why on earth would you carry your blood relatives’ corpses in your shield?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a dizzying thought, but one more effect remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Shared Pain】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>| The Redfoot ancestors will bear half of your pain.
