Return of the Archmage

Chapter 22

6. Crack Brake

[Black Flower]

▶ Level : 6

▶ A sword with the touch of Dwarp, the master of this world. It is made of the ore of the magic that swallows light.

▶ 힘 +10

▶ Agility +7

▶ Stamina +7

▶ Mana +11

▶ "Soulless Bleeding" effect is applied at all times

▶ Application of 'mana amplification' effect at all times

▶ Application of 'mana absorption' effect at all times

▶ Self-recovery effect applied at all times

A sword has a stat effect similar to a armor set.

You can tell what a good sword it is without having to cut down the enemy.

The touch at the fingertips is also excellent.

"25 billion? Crazy!"

"If I could get Kang In-ho's sword for money, I'd be lucky."….”

It was not important that Han Tae-sung and Han Seo-young, who had been looking at rice cakes in the painting, were surprised.

They were both surprising and accepting.

It wasn't just acceptance.

"But didn't Kang Inho intentionally post this so that Hyesung can buy it?"

"It smells. He's never the one to sell his weapons for money."

It's too coincidental.

25 billion won.

It's not a small amount of money, but if you pick someone you don't know from all over the world, it's not enough money for Kang In-ho, who has less money.

I don't know, but the idea that two more zeros will be attached to the bank account is common sense that even elementary school students who don't have a concept of money can do.

But no matter how much he buys a new weapon, he gives up his own weapon, which is only five in the world?

"Are you trying to compete?"

"Maybe."

It is incomprehensible for Han Tae-sung and Han Seo-young.

If you think you're a competitor, shouldn't you be wary?

However, Lee Hye-sung neatly ignored those two speculations.

"It's obvious."

"What is it?"

I know that psychology better than anyone.

"There are no competitors in the world ranking, but if we compete with the crack, I think we'll die if we get into the crack level 8." Even if they're not similar, they don't listen to you because they're trying to keep themselves in check. If I drag him, he'll die, so I'm just sighing, and then I show up."

Of course I don't agree.

Lee Hye-sung has never been over the limit.

Dragon Lord, Seiji also overcame it alone.

"Koreans, and their endless potential. I've met him once, and he's a good talker. Although he cannot handle it as much as he wants, if he speaks well, he is likely to step higher as a colleague. Besides, what's up? The guy who turned you down, he's making you compete and he's bringing in money and honor."

"I think I'm going to be jealous.”

Han Tae-sung's honest words make me smile.

That's true.

That's what ordinary people would do.

"Even with trillions of won in your bank account? Every morning when you wake up, tens of millions of fans confess they love you? Every day, the same cracks, the same helplessness that you can't even look at higher.

"…I'm good at that."

It's a feeling of helplessness I've never experienced before.

In fact, it's a blessing.

There are a lot of people who can't meet any of those conditions.

The agony of a genius.

"That's what it is anyway. From Kang In-ho's perspective, he might want me to grow up as soon as possible and be stronger than him."

"To that extent?"

"That's what motivates me."

To that end, Kang In-ho would have put up a sword that he didn't even have to sell.

For Lee Hyesung.

"And I'll do my best to live up to expectations."

I don't mean to kick you.

It's not like you're playing around.

In the first place, Lee Hye-sung intended to grow fast.

Even before I came to Earth.

I tried to restore my power to the fantasy level as quickly as possible and make fun of it.

Dragon Lord, in a world without Sage, he's God.

But there is a user and a crack.

The conditions for being a god are higher.

Motivation

It is a great lubricant for Lee Hye-sung as well as Kang In-ho.

Of course, the fact that the target is Lee Hye-sung will be an unexpected variable for Kang In-ho.

"Motivation makes you ten times as powerless as you are now."

It's not a bad feeling.

Just as Kang In-ho is looking at Lee Hye-sung now, Lee Hye-sung is also interested.

When that day comes, will Kang In-ho be able to overcome it when he overturned Kang In-ho and climbed to a higher place to create a wall that would not dare to dare climb?

"For the time being, the house is...….”

Lee Hye-sung comforted Han Seo-young, who was disappointed.

"The vvip members here say the user hotel suite is free all year round. I live there for a while."

"Oh yeah!"

"Hyesung, why does Seoyoung like it?" But?"

"I don't know."

He leaves the user department store with a shrug.

It was time to earn as much as I spent.

***

Lee Hyun-hwa stared at Kang In-ho.

"Why did you sell your sword?"

"Huh? No, the building I wanted to buy just came out and I'm short of cash."

"I have over 500 billion won in my bank account alone."

"Ha ha! Actually, I was so thankful to the master of sword making that I uploaded it to take care of him."

He was forced to speak out to his wife's eyes, which are scarier than the 7-level crack monster.

"Sorry."

"Are you a user who really needs to go that far?"

"You said you were interested, too."

"That's true…….”

It's just a matter of interest, but it's still hard to judge whether it's necessary to watch while supporting it for free.

Above all, Lee Hyun-hwa is calculating.

I don't think that's right from common sense.

"No matter how much I like the new sword, you carry around two swords, right?”

"I missed you.”

"What?"

"Just, dude, you're breaking my records like you're looking at me. How far can I go? I set these records when I was level 71 and the equipment was full, but he's only level 10 and he doesn't have anything. At least how much can I see with the equipment I'

"Whew."

I don't understand because it's calculating.

Because I'm Kang In-ho, and because I'm Lee Hyun-hwa, I know that the achievements that Lee Hye-sung shows now are not only as good as the rookie that comes to mind.

"Don't feel bad and listen. If Lee Hye-sung knows how to use all of those skills as shown in the video...….”

"You'll be stronger than me.”

"…Are you still okay?”

It'll take time.

But one day it will be taken away.

He is ranked number one in the world. And all the achievements that Kang In-ho has made.

Of course, Kang In-ho's level, stats, equipment, and money are not going anywhere.

There is no guarantee that it will be taken away unconditionally.

That's what cracks are all about.

It's not a game.

Even if it's a game, the birth of a genius professional gamer is recognized only after the professional gamer has completed his full growth and solidified his career.

It is not strange when the rookie named Lee Hye-sung disappears.

However, there is only one thing that Lee Hyun-hwa is worried about.

"You're working so hard because of that.”

Honor!

people's attention

a commonly referred seed of interest

It's not a problem because it's not a bad thing to attract attention and enjoy it, but Kang In-ho is enjoying life by eating people's admiration and yearning with everything.

What if Lee Hye-sung grows up and takes it away?

No matter how often you can't see each other and how much they love each other, you will be worried as a denial.

"Thank you for your concern. But don't worry."

Kang In-ho held her in his arms and stroked her head.

"I'm Kang In-ho. It's not easy."

His eyes were filled with determination.

"And be prepared. Crack brake. Korea, there's no law that the same thing shouldn't happen in the Sahara Desert in front of my house, right?”

“…….”

Above all, he was a man who loved his people.

Lee Hyun-hwa nodded in her arms.

***

Level 3 crack radar.

Still, it was quiet around the three, dressed lightly.

"Did you have to come to this spooky junky place or something like that?”

"You have to get the crack numbers right. If we go in, we're all the same crack, but we're only close by. You don't know if there's a crack break or something.”

Han Seo-young looked at Lee Hye-sung, ignoring Han Tae-sung's grumbling lightly.

A uniform armor set and sword in pitch black.

On the outside, he is already the top ranker.

Of course, I know that skills are comparable.

He's already cleared the level 3 crack solo, and Han Seo-young and Han Tae-young proved that all they have to do within the crack is collecting cores and transporting consumables.

Still, I'm nervous.

First level 3 crack.

"Don't be nervous. You have this brother.”

"You listen to the consumables."

"I'll protect you with a shield."

Han Tae-sung relieved her tension.

Han Tae-sung was also better than Han Seo-young, although he was not nervous.

"But it's the first time the three of us have cracked level three. I'm a little nervous, too. Will I be able to keep it well?"

"Let's go in because we're growing up getting hit."

His role is to protect Han Seo-young. And packing consumables.

Lee Hye-sung took a bold step with two nervous people.

The view changes and a dark cave unfolds in front of you.

"It's Dungeon. It's going to be a problem."

Han Seo-young who analyzes.

"I'm in the front, Tae-sung and Se-young follow me at a distance. Here's a comfortable map.

Lee Hye-sung, who moves straight ahead.

"No, wait!"

"Hyesung!"

They're freaking out and stopping each other.

That's a natural reaction.

The reason why dungeon cracks are known to be troublesome among users was not just a matter of terrain.

The terrain is also a cave, so it is difficult to spread sound and dark, but most of all, many of the traps installed in the dungeon are not easily seen by high-level users.

"A level three dungeon could have a trap with mana!"

Especially when the crack level is higher, it is more difficult.

Usually, there are one or two trap experts at a party, but you can't let your guard down because it's hard for even trap experts to spot a trap with magic.

It is not common for such experts to be high-level trap experts.

The hell in the dungeon begins when the power decreases or dies on the traps that fly at a speed that is hard to cope with as soon as they step on the wrong foot.

The same goes for Lee Hye-sung.

No matter how good he is at fighting, will he be able to cope with all the traps flying from unexpected places?

"Don't worry and follow me. It's not a trap, it's not dead if the dungeon collapses."

I have to trust you.

Lee Hye-sung, who has already stepped forward, cannot space out here.

Han Tae-sung and Han Seo-young quickly followed.

With a lot of tension.

But nothing happened in five or ten minutes.

Lee Hye-sung, who had been walking for a long time, stopped and looked back.

"You said it was an empty crack, didn't you?"

"Yes, it was an empty crack when I applied for admission.”

"When did you do it?”
