Return of the Archmage

8.

[The level has gone up]]

After a long time, a hologram appears that makes you feel better.

Fortunately, there was also room to enjoy it.

a totem in front of one's eyes

A piece of wood that stood as an ordinary figure you can see when you go down to the countryside because the energy of darkness that was exuding with the spirit of sucking everything up has cooled.

Lee laughed casually, but in fact, a considerable amount of power was used to destroy the totem.

The totem is the backbone of the fog.

Of course, there is no way to stand without any defense.

Dozens of basically laid buffs have also been set up to prevent enemy attacks.

It is not installed randomly by other monsters.

It's totem's own ability.

There is no power to attack, but the moment you take on the role of root in the ground and deliver the power to the center of fog, you become an iron wall that cannot be pushed in defense more than any monster.

Lee Hye-sung penetrated it.

"Whoo."

Isn't it a reward enough to enjoy leisure?

Destroyed Totem (1).]

[Crack buff will be weakened by 10%]

The following holograms also offer solutions to remove fog.

"A 10% discount would be enough."

Eight-level crack brakes and fog-covered areas are the biggest reasons for difficulty in targeting, with more than 60% of crack buffs that are welcomed as soon as they enter.

We have no choice but to face a helpless reduction in power to a debuff that forces us to downgrade one or more levels.

If such a debuff disappears, it can feel like the power is more than doubled.

Just one thing.

"If totems are the backbone of the fog.”

There was a variable.

So I wasn't sure.

It doesn't make any difference to be sure anyway.

Monsters are constantly rushing to this place where the fog has disappeared, and the area where the fog has been erased is almost like a drop of blood compared to the range of fog spread out in the vast Sahara Desert.

You have to move.

Until all the fog is gone.

Totem's discovery is of little significance except that the evaporation of the fog has given the process a small boost.

Of course, the effect of the small change was beyond Lee's imagination.

***

Kang In-ho just couldn't understand.

"No, what do they eat to stay strong?”

When I first came into the fog, I was so embarrassed that I fell over.

No matter what he wanted to ask, he wasn't in a situation to ask.

It was hard to stop monsters from attacking everywhere.

In that situation, Sage's testimony was sufficient evidence to understand the situation.

However, questions arose as the situation ended and there was room for it to enter the fog area again.

This is the world and this is the earth.

Lee Hye-sung is also affected by the system, and he also knows that many abilities, including magic, are only incidental techniques.

I also know that various things have synergistic effects, and the higher the stats, the stronger they become, but there is one thing I learned from Lee Hye-sung for a long time.

However, Lee Hye-sung is also strong within the calculation range.

It's an inevitable result.

Stats, levels, runes, characteristics.

It's a system that combines countless elements to be strong, but in case of Lee Hye-sung, everything needed to be strong is filled.

Right now, there are eight top-class runs in one growth run.

Will it be so strong that you can tell if you changed the remaining runes to the best runes?

It may be so if you have saved another growth run.

But that is almost impossible.

The same is true of characteristics.

It has two unique characteristics and one SS-class characteristic.

Changing the SS class to UNIQUE is nonsense, similar to adding one more run to the growth run, and it is not something that can be done in just a month.

Lee Hye-sung may think he did it secretly, but in order to achieve this level of achievement, he must include at least SS-level characteristics.

Then what comes to mind is Lee Hyesung's class.

Kang In-ho doesn't have much information about the class, so he has no choice but to assume that way.

Nevertheless, even if you give them so many points, the movements that have changed are beyond calculation.

How did he do it?

It is not polite of users to ask for information on how to grow.

However, Kang asked with iron face on his face.

"Hyesung."

"Can't you guess?”

“…….”

Lee Hye-sung asks with a smile as if he had waited.

Kang In-ho's forehead is naturally wrinkled.

That must be a funny look on the face.

I don't think I'll say it easily.

What to bet on.

If it were only a year ago, he would have seduced some of his assets, which are widely spread around the world.

The value of information, though it's worth billions of dollars, goes beyond money to crack in this society, and the value of rare information about users.

One does not work now.

It has been a long time since he jumped over Kang In-ho and is now being stamped on his bank account with zeros that can't be counted just by breathing.

Human tint artifacts.

The revolution of the current crack market, which is estimated to bring the level of users above 20 on average!

Its inventor and only developer who directly receives 95 percent of its profits.

It is meaningless to deal with Lee Hye-sung with money, as there are rumors that Lee Hye-sung will hog more than 10% of the world's wealth after 10 years.

However, it is not possible to bet on artifacts.

For reasons that don't need to be explained.

So I hesitate.

I don't have any conditions for a deal.

What can I bet on a man who has everything.

I can't help but hope.

Fortunately, Lee Hye-sung told me without hesitation.

What Kang In-ho wants.

"I wonder why you're so strong?”

"Yes."

"It's simple. I trained my lungs secretly.”

"How?"

That's how much you can expect.

What's important to Kang In-ho is the way!

It's not just a question of curiosity as a user.

To Kang In-ho, Lee Hye-sung has to follow his back.

Content that has helped him in his growth direction or growth is better kept information somehow.

Even if you don't know when it will come to Kang In-ho.

There is no pride in that.

You don't need money to bend your pride otherwise.

Who dares to point fingers at someone if they can get something by doing so.

Typical Lee Hye-sung's M.O.!

Kang In-ho, who learned from the side, asks calmly.

Lee Hye-sung also explains it like water.

"Well, you know, there's not a lot of way for me to be more speculative here, right? We don't have enough performance points to change the runes or characteristics."

"That's right."

The projections were not wrong.

Lee Hye-sung also met the wall in that part.

Then where did they find the answer?

"But I still have something to raise, but I don't feel comfortable finding a way anywhere else because I don't have any achievement scores. So I decided to catch both rabbits."

"You've filled the hallmarks with Rune.

"It's one thing and the other. No, is the tower of trials both?

"……Ah!"

One thing that goes through my mind.

Realize.

The reason why Lee Hye-sung is the best.

A fine difference between Kang In-ho and another.

"To what floor……….”

"18th floor. I thought I raised my specs, but it didn't work. It's tough."

“…….”

The difference, which I wondered if I could turn over even if I tried my whole life, was now far from reachable while I thought it was only that much difference.

18th floor.

Floor where at least level 9 monsters are expected.

I cleared the place.

The eyes are getting thinner.

"Isn't that a bug?"

"There's a video, but it's private. I was a little upset and pulled out some secret weapons."

Shines at the same time.

For a moment, Lee Hye-sung takes a step back.

"No, I can't. It's too much of an overbalance to solve right now, so it's going to be a dog-snail game in an instant.

"Can't I be the only one?”

"The scariest thing in the world, I'm the only thing that humans should be wary of."

Then you knew that and you ate it alone?

I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Kang In-ho wasn't a fool enough to say what he thought.

However, his eyes were full of inner thoughts and stabbed Lee Hye-sung at random.

"It's no use asking if you want to eat it all by yourself."

"Pfft."

If he doesn't tell us even though he's done this, it's likely that it's a tie that shouldn't be revealed yet.

Kang In-ho gave up neatly.

Curiosity has not disappeared, but there was nothing good about digging in.

It came into the fog.

"Then how about compensation for the 17th and 18th floors?”

Of course, he didn't give up on sneaking a chicken instead of a pheasant.

Sage, who was watching from the side, kicked her tongue.

"Is it because he's next to him, or is he gathering among those people? Humans are such fascinating animals."

Ariel kicked her tongue at Sage.

"Road's acting abominably next to that human being, and he's doing a very good specimen of lactoblast."

Of course none of the four gathered here can escape the maxims of the old saints.

Lee Hye-sung shrugged and granted Kang In-ho's wish.

▶ Tower of trials (applying 18th floor effect, controller effect of trials)

.

.

Floor 17. Special skill 'weak' acquired

18. Attack power +6% (+6%)

[Weak]

▶ Grade: Special

▶ Content: 2% chance to apply weakening stack when attacking enemies. All the stats with the weaker stack are reduced by 1%.(Up to 10 overlapping)

"…crazy."

With the disclosure all the questions were solved.

Why did Lee Hye-sung answer Kang In-ho's question?

"…That's ridiculous."

Lee Hye-sung, who has an insidious smile at Kang In-ho's head held on to ridiculous options, ran again with a holy sword in his hand.

Stronger crack buff.

It was the moment when the source of Lee Hye-sung's power, which easily overpowered the wild monsters, was revealed.

And in about 20 minutes.

As the fog cleared again, Lee Hye-sung, who also put a holy sword in the totem, waved his hand.

"The damn totem. That's a hell of a strength!"

With a light wound all over his body.
