Return of the Archmage

Chapter 19

Buff.

A humble skill, often thought only of as secondary magic, requires much more sophisticated mana control than actual attack magic.

The same goes for debuff.

It's a principle that you have to apply a certain amount of beneficial or harmful effect to the object through the magical step of creating something out of nothing.

On a fantasy level, buff was the exclusive property of the late circle wizards, and among them, the wizard who was good at handling buff magic was one level above the circle.

It's nothing more than an incidental thing that pets automatically use to make it easier to hunt because of its strong perception in games only on Earth.

Of course, in a world that seems like a game but is not a game, buff skills are not treated badly.

Less than healer, but better than tanker?

Likewise, it is because buff is used as a skill.

The effect is not long and it is difficult to apply to many people.

Until you raise your level and your mana gets higher.

One is Lee Hye-sung's buff.

His buff is magic.

Exquisite used only by the late Circle Wizard in fantasy level.

It unfolds in the hands of Lee Hye-sung, who even acknowledged the dragon in dealing with Mana.

Whoosh-

[The agility (3) will rise.]

[Time remaining: 1 second]

[Power (4) is raised.]

[Time remaining: 1 second]

The key to buff magic is short and bold.

What an efficient time to inflate the stats of the protesters.

Of course, the buff magic, which requires two processes, doubles the mana.

No matter how efficient you use it, you can't reduce its absolute volume.

So I couldn't raise the stats much.

One was enough.

From the enemy's point of view, the moment the opponent's movement in his arms accelerates by even 0.1 second, he has to give up his life before he recognizes it and responds.

In that sense, Lee Hye-sung was a perfect buffer.

"As expected, the final setting is Dragon Slayer."

Lee Hye-sung, who cut off the neck of the three swampy Rizardmen, shook his sword and kicked his tongue.

There is no better combination.

It subsidizes defense and human resources and invests most of its mana in buffs.

He overwhelms the opponent with a sword.

What a neat theory.

The best way to kill an enemy is not to crush the opponent with powerful magic, nor to swallow the ground upside down.

Cutting out the heart of the enemy.

Cutting off the neck.

Lee Hye-sung proved the theory through countless battles.

It was also a sword that almost killed him, but eventually caught the devil, who was called the Buddha.

Some of the dragon slayers in history are not prosecutors.

"Sage, I'm sure she knew.”

That's why the dragon, who reached the end of the magic, taught the sword more importantly than the magic.

Of course it's difficult.

There are many people who can't even sell one magic in the first place.

Sword and magic can't coexist, and after using buff magic, they subdue the opponent with the sword?

There should be so many manas that they cannot overflow.

This means that only Lee Hye-sung is possible.

Of course, Lee Hye-sung did not have to find another difficult way because it was possible.

"Hu. Mana consumption is a little too much."

Nevertheless, there was nothing I could do about being unreasonable.

Even with a 73-mana stet, even if you cut it for a second.

It's only the beginning, but it's too much.

Lee Hye-sung laughed even though it was so gloomy.

There is no impossible beginning.

It was the same when he escaped from Sage, when he fought 2,000 wizards and 30,000 knights to destroy the empire, and when he fought the devil.

Always prepare for the end.

A small goal to live.

Just looking at that one thing.

It was the same this time.

No matter how Lee Hye-sung may be, level 3 crack solo play is still lacking.

If it wasn't for the armor set sent by Kang In-ho, I would have postponed it to the next time.

Twenty-six.

Because I was young and full of time.

Only one armor set opened the possibility.

If it is concluded that even 1 percent is possible, Lee Hye-sung makes the possibility 100 with dozens of variables.

"As expected, people have to make money.”

Lee Hye-sung, who took out a level 2 horsepower recovery pot from his backpack, opened the cap and drank it without hesitation.

***

"Will it work?"

"It'll work."

Han Seo-young and Han Tae-sung sat on Lee Hye-sung's bed and had a malnourished conversation with a serious expression.

"No matter how good the armor is, it's still level 10."….”

"Steet is high."

"It's unusually high. 10 levels, 20 physical stats, 70s horsepower. What kind of trash game is this?”

"Higher than you?"

"Mana can't be compared, but body stats."

In fact, Han Tae-sung is one of the users who is benefiting a lot from the trash game.

It's a great merit that my father is rich and spends a lot of money on him in a game where you can buy Stett with money.

Nevertheless, when I see Lee Hye-sung's growth, I automatically swear.

"Luck, no, it's not even luck. A trash game that doesn't even catch bugs."

I don't think I've ever been so determined. It's after seeing that their mana stats are 50.

"What kind of breathing alone makes a mana stet 50?”

"It goes up once a month."

"Crazy."

One pours hundreds of millions to raise the Mana Stat 1.

If it is over 10, the amount is several times higher, and in fact, Han Tae-sung spent more than 10 billion won to invest eight stats in Lee Hye-sung.

Then he came up with more than 20 stats a day.

With just over 100 million won.

"I'm going to ask Hyesung quickly, too."

Of course, the reason why he doesn't delete his account by swearing at trash games is because the bug distributor is his friend and investor.

He can do it, too.

"You'd better not."

"Never mind, I won't be fooled by your lies. It's nothing but pain. As long as you don't die."

It's like a pain where you can't even lose your mind for 10 hours.

There will be a mixture of exaggeration and bravado.

Where's the pain of not losing your mind?

It just doesn't hurt enough to lose consciousness.

"Hahaha. Will Hyesung really be okay?"

"I know."

The conversation continued to return to place.

I can't help but worry.

It's been 2 days since I entered level 3 crack alone.

Considering that the shortest time ranking is a week, I know I can't come out even if I want to.

"When I die..."

"I don't think I'm going to die."

"That's true."

And yet I feel strangely relieved.

I think Lee Hye-sung will wake up.

"Since when did Hyesung become such a reliable child?"

"I know."

That's amazing.

It has been widely accepted that a person who has been awakened as a user for 30 years can become a different person overnight, but it is hard to see a person changing to 180 degrees.

"By the way, how much did Comet spend on this position? I heard you even took out a loan.”

"One billion."

"Crazy."

Then Han Tae-sung stepped up when he heard the news.

"It's not a losing business considering the achievement score and the settlement."

"No, I know that.….”

You have to come back alive to make it happen.

I didn't dare say that.

Is that why you went in so confidently?

"With 700 million won worth of recovery potions, I'm sure we'll succeed.”

"……It's also a ranking if it's ranking.

In addition to clearing, it will probably break the record of seven days.

"I didn't mean to ask you to pick me up tomorrow.….”

"Hey. I don't think so."

No matter how hard I try.

If you are a human being, should you break the world's No. 1 record?

Two were already broken two days ago, but they are level 1 and level 2.

Cracks that can never be easily seen cannot be compared to level 3.

Besides, even the stats that don't fit at level 10 are not enough to clear a level 3 crack alone.

"I don't think so."

No, I wanted to believe it.

However, Lee Hye-sung also predicted his record in level 1 and level 2.

If you keep your word and achieve your achievement on the third day of your third day...….

I think there will be an all-time rookie.

Believing that it was not, the two had expectations.

"Shall we go out tomorrow, just in case?"

"From the morning?"

"Let's stay at the cafe because it's ahead of the main street anyway."

"Yeah."

In exchange for expectations, the two decided to invest a day.

But it wasn't long before I felt I didn't have to.

Beep beep-beep-

With the sound of pressing the password.

"Hua! Mana recovery potion is better than I thought. It was an unexpected variable. It's been a day.”

"……Huh?"

"Hyesung?"

Because Lee Hyesung, who is filthy, came in.

Crack is a danger that takes the lives of users and further threatens humanity, but on the contrary, it is now a huge market that has taken root in the world.

Users who hunt in cracks become heroes, idols, and idols to people.

Gone are the days when players who used to show off fancy controls in virtual reality beyond 2d and 3d, and now they are cheering for the reality of reality seen in cracks.

Ranking, of course, is a very important measure of determining users' ranking of users.

This is why all users acknowledge that Kang In-ho, ranked first, is not simply called the world's best just by his level.

achievement ranking

And the time attack ranking of many accomplishments.

I admire the user's ability to make hunting into a movie, not just using skills and beating monsters.

Meanwhile, Kang In-ho's time attack broke.

Not one, not two, but three.

In particular, Kang In-ho's solo player achievement time ranking, which is called a solo player killer.

It was quiet up to level 2, but when the time attack of solo player's achievement with level 3 crack broke, someone found Lee Hye-sung's record posted on the user community and spread it and became a hot topic around the world.

52 hours and 36 minutes.

Clear level 10.

It is an achievement with many factors added, but these are the two factors that viewers care about.

- Is this for real?

Isn't it a bug?

Is he a game addict? Where's the bug?

Wow, you can do level 10 crack solo?

Is Kang In-ho raising a secondary character?

222222

I think it's 333.

The time attack record will be updated in an instant and Lee Hye-sung's certification will rise to the top of the list in a community viewed by billions of people.

And that everyone is curious about.

- Crazy. Time Attack Clear video is up.

Oh, my God. You'really.

How much is it?

It's a video where you clear a crack alone.

Most users never post their videos on the community.

He gets paid to upload it, but he doesn't like the possibility of his know-how and fighting style being imitated by other users for a few bucks.

It's the same as Kang In-ho.

Kang In-ho doesn't upload videos every time, right?

- Not expensive.

Naturally, Kang In-ho was forced to be compared.

In the first place, Kang In-ho was the owner of the time attack record and he proudly uploaded the video at a low price.
