Return of the Archmage

27. Legendary Prelude

1.

"Thank you, man."

Prince Oak's expressionless reply startled Lee Hye-sung and stepped back.

"Thank you?"

"Yes, humans, black orcs, have been uprooted."

That's true.

There were so many black orcs that I could see on the battlefield over the huge wall that I could see were just like a chase, and now it's been wiped clean without a trace.

However, the problem is that there is nothing but black orcs in the eyes that are turned.

Walls, castles, nothing.

Meteo has erased all traces.

If I hadn't seen the castle, I wouldn't have known.

Prince Oak gave a deep consolation to Lee Hye-sung as if he had read such uncomfortable eyes.

"I was going to destroy it if I didn't have it anyway. Human. Thank you. The castle can be rebuilt again."

"Uh, uh, yeah."

That's what they say.

It's not my business, but Lee Hye-sung, who thought about Meteo and suddenly gave it a hard time, has no conscience now and has no intention of doing so.

He nods his head and accepts the ring.

That Prince Oak is out of his mind.

You're gonna have to smash your house, weave straws, and you're gonna have to thank me.

If I were you, I'd claim damages with a red card.

And he gave me a ring.

Is it a curse ring? Whenever I sleep, I have nightmares.

Viewers are also dumbfounded.

When you fly Meteo, wow, that's amazing. Cool! I shouted, but when I saw the scenery with the completion of the hidden piece, I felt the atmosphere suddenly getting cold.

So is Meteo's power.

Absolute magic that destroys and erases everything.

That's why the viewers were worried.

If compensation is not a reward due to the very high degree of freedom in the system.

Shouldn't he be satisfied with his achievement score of 100,000 points already?

"Thank you, anyway. I'll use it well. Call me later if the black orcs bother you."

"Good-bye, man."

Prince Oak, with a greeting, walked out to the spot where the castle once was.

Lee Hye-sung waved and unveiled the ring's option.

"What a nice ring for a guy who ran bare to live. It's just that the castle is gone and that we're going to empty everything that starts from the bottom."

Lean on the floor.

Some expect that it would be good as a Hidden Piece reward, but the fact that it was a Hidden Piece on the sixth floor was a little uncomfortable for Lee Hye-sung.

All the items he has are hard to get from most of the top cracks.

But the expectation soon had to be picked up again.

[Oak Ring]

▶ Level : 7

▶ Orc royal ring. It contains the power of all Orcs.

▶ Additional damage to orcs +20%

▶ Damage from Orcs – 20%

▶ Always apply 'pressure' effect to orcs

The system never used to hook users.

***

There is a special option among the item options.

It is not preferred by all users, but it is not available to some users.

It's never because the item option is ambiguous.

Not only does it not come out well, but it sells too fast when it comes out.

Of course, there are users waiting for the sale in the first place.

It sells well even if there is a special option for defense or weapons, but especially if it is attached to jewelry, it is actually a price to call it.

Although demand is low compared to all items, there are many specialized options called aristocrats' options that are generally favorable to some cracks.

The most representative is the options of the oak ring that Lee Hye-sung just received.

Usually, there are no three specialized options.

It says that with only one thing on the line, it's a windfall if the damage increases or decreases.

What's that for?

It's either Oak or trash.

Of course, there's a crack and 30 years, or 31 years.

This reaction is generally inevitable because it has not been long since the specialized option items were released and item swaps cannot be dreamed of by ordinary users except for some top rankers or rich people.

Cracks are all over the world, and users can't predict what monsters will come out when they enter cracks.

That is common.

But rich and high-level users are different.

It's not common.

- Wow, specialized options.

If you keep running around the oak dungeon with that, it's going to be a binge.

People who say that's useless don't know germs, do you? I agree.

Companies selling them with a detailed description of which cracks appear are widespread.

It's not even that expensive.

What if we pick those cracks and hunt them with specialized options?

Even if the level is insufficient, it can travel one or more levels of cracks.

That's why items with specialized options are not only priced but also at a high level without other additional options.

Additional damage.

Monsters don't have the stamina to play games, but the system definitely helps to make those intangible options into types.

Even if you wear the same item, you can't pierce the leather. If you have a special option, you can pierce it.

It's the difference.

It's a very small difference, but whether you can cut a monster's neck like a head is directly related to whether you can protect your life or not.

That's why Lee Hye-sung's Spirit Human Tint items were sold for more than a year's budget of each country.

Even the basic options are good items and specialized options for spirits.

Is that for sale?

Honestly, Lee Hye-sung doesn't really need a special oak option.

- I'm looking forward to the auction.

So the viewers expected it.

Lee Hyesung said, "It's not a big deal," but for users who know about the specialization option, the Oak Specialization option was one of the most valuable options.

- Oak is a national monster that hunts level 10 to 60 or higher users, from regular orcs to advanced orcs. It's enough to prove that orcs don't come out the most in fantasy novels. Even if you go in randomly without looking for a crack in the oak, three or four out of ten are covered, so I said everything. Besides, that's a ring, so you don't have to swap it. There's nothing to lose even if you put it in there is nothing to lose.

How much should I sell it for?

Lee Hye-sung didn't say anything, but viewers have already begun to countenance the story of an oak ring.

And the fact that it didn't end up simply drinking kimchi soup has been proved by inquiries pouring directly into Han Seo-young.

"No, I don't have any intention of selling it yet."

"I'm not selling it."

"If Hyesung wants to sell it, I'll post a video and announce it!"

Prince Oak paid his benefactor a reasonable reward.

2.

The 7th and 8th floors had easy clear conditions.

Eliminate the Boss Monster and Escape the Labyrinth.

The eradication of Boss Monster also evolved into an elite boss, and Lee Hye-sung, as always, beat the elite boss by stamping it with splendid and overwhelming power.

However, it was not seen in less than 10 minutes as in the previous floor.

The same goes for the maze.

Lee Hye-sung spent a whole day in a wide maze that eventually led him to find his way out no matter what his tricks were.

"Hu. It's definitely hard to get a higher floor."

[We cleared the 8th floor]]

[Effects applied to floor 8]

[Increases attack power by 3%.]

[The effect is limited within the tower of the trial]

[Time remaining: 133 hours, 33 minutes, 12 seconds]

[Accomplishment: Clearing the 8th floor of the Trial]

[Acquired Achievement Score (20,000)]

Monsters that could have come out of a roughly six-level crack poured out.

It's not just coming out.

The mission to eradicate the Boss Monster was different in itself from the one applied on the lower floor.

Elite Boss Monster's own passive effect will strengthen the surrounding monsters.

As a result, if you pay attention to elite bosses and deal with regular monsters, you will feel like you are going through a seven-level crack.

I haven't looked back on the level 7 crack yet, but I think it'll be like this if I experience it in advance.

It was a good thing the maze came out.

It's been a day for Lee Hyesung, who can spread Mana widely and find his way, but it's time to recharge Mana and rest.

"We've run out of money, and we're really starting now.”

I'm slowly warming up.

The ninth floor may be the last rest to be given.

Maybe we should work hard from the ninth floor.

Of course, it's not that I don't have confidence.

However, the slow result is that all of the crack cores that are brought are exhausted.

It is impossible to use magic beyond the limit without mana used through mana storage.

Especially at a time when monsters that fit his level are pouring in, it is better not to do anything that is more burdensome to the circle.

"If I knew this would happen, I'd save it."

He makes disappointing sounds, but the smile around his mouth doesn't want to disappear.

Even though I used all the crack cores I brought up on the other floor.

Because I've pulled out more than I want.

I don't regret it.

Even if it becomes slow from here and does not achieve a higher floor due to lack of a crack core, it is enough to try again next month as planned from the beginning.

If you're always impatient, you'll miss anything.

The first time is well worth the first time.

The word "first" forgives everything even if it's not perfect.

"We'll still have to go to the 15th floor. There's a class."

Just in the beginning, but don't disgrace Lee Hye-sung's name.

Whoosh!

The six circles surrounding the heart fluctuate violently.

Even if you don't borrow the power of a crack core, enough manna is enough to create splendid and powerful magic.

"Let's go."

The light sparkled, and Kang In-ho's world record was just around the corner.

***

The chat room was full of enthusiasm.

I thought it was obvious because I'm Lee Hye-sung, but apart from him, the moment when the world record is broken is always thrilling.

Above all, Kang In-ho did not release more than nine stories of videos for tension.

- It'll be more thrilling to see it in personally.

At the same time as the expectation, a sense of fear is created.

Even Lee Hye-sung's perfect appearance on the 7th and 8th floors collapsed little by little.

In that situation, viewers asked.

I'm sure there's no rank you're hiding when you're actually up on the 11th floor?

- If it is not released, there will be no record.

If you're here, tell me quickly. We have to compare the world record with that.

I don't think so, let's go with Kang Inho's.

Another interesting thing is to watch in real time is to challenge the record, apart from spectacular and cool videos that delight the eyes.

As much as Lee Hye-sung, or rather more, a dark cave was opened in front of viewers who endured going to the bathroom with 500,000 viewers.
