Chapter 251: Message (2)

Slap!

“Ouch! Why did you hit me again?”

“I told you not to bother Juyoung, right?”

“Gosh, you’re so mean, Mom!”

We were depressed due to failing all day long, so I, my sister, and my mom tried to keep the atmosphere as bright as possible so we could have our meal happily.

The next day I did not go straight to the Land Without Light in Mongolia to proceed with the quest.

Instead, I moved to Kotum Castle to stop by the blacksmith, for today was the day the God of Enhancement cooldown finally returned.

In other words, I could make the +5 enhancement Ice Emperor Guardian Sword into +6 now. Of course, I should be very happy in this situation, but I wasn’t as happy as I thought.

Even if I upgrade the sword, it won’t help me solve the pending problem at all.

Anyway, I entered the forge and put the +5 enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword in the enhancement window.

Then I opened my mouth quietly.

‘Activate God of Enhancement.’

[You have activated the God of Enhancement.

-100% chance to successfully enhance.

-Enhancement Target: +5 Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword.

-Additional requirements: 102,750,000 golden rings, 1,249.5 million EXP.

-Cooldown generated upon successful enhancement: 125 days]

The necessary requirements were enormous, especially the generated cooldown.

In particular, I recalled a title when I noticed over 1.2 billion EXP. The title was none other than The Man Who Doesn’t Fall.

Those who do not fall.

At that time, I thought that this title was a penalty because I did not lose the stat points gained through Mutual Growth when I dropped levels due to God of Enhancement’s EXP requirements.

So, I could gain more stat points by leveling up again.

But now that I looked back at it, it was a blessing in disguise, for the drop in EXP of 1.2495 billion right now was already terrible, and it would only become worse in the future.

So, I tried enhancing it immediately.

Then, a message with a splendid visual effect rang before my eyes.

[You have succeeded in enhancing +5 Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

The +5 enhancement Ice Emperor guardian sword will be upgraded to +6 enhancement.]

‘Wow!’

I’ve finally obtained a myth grade weapon with a whopping +6 enhancement.

Until a little while ago, I wasn’t very happy because of the slow progress with the quest, but when I received the + 6 enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword, I felt good as if nothing happened.

‘Check item.’

The Ice Emperor’s guardian sword showed tremendous options, as if to prove why it was a myth-grade item with +6 enhancement.

So, I immediately wanted to go to the Cunning Vampire Garrison to test both the newly enhanced Ice emperor’s Guardian Sword and the new skill I acquired by reaching level 1000.

However, I left for the Land Without Light In Mongolia where the quest was still ongoing, for I felt like if I went to the Cunning Vampire Garrison, I would keep hunting there since it was productive unlike my time in the Mongolian hunting ground with no guarantee on when I could clear the quest.

At the Land Without Light.

“Damn it!”

“Shit! I won’t do it!”

As soon as I entered the huge cave where the quest was ongoing, the sounds of the players’ hysterical cursing entered my ears. Not only the players from the Myongjin, Mirae and Tugal guilds, but also the players of the Mitsuya and Altan Guilds spat out abusive language.

But I didn’t care because I heard such things often, so I moved near the Myongjin Guild players, waited a little then moved onto Track 1 at the start of the new round because I had signed up to Myongjin under the name of Asirante.

Soon Slimes appeared along with the message that announced the beginning of the new round.

Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!

I was now competent enough to clear up to Round 10 without any difficulty.

So, I easily moved up to Round 5.

But I checked my status window before proceeding further.

“Check status window.”

[Strength 3, Agility 3, Intellect 2]

It was neither good nor bad. In other words, I was already in the worst situation.

I had five golden rings available right now, but I didn’t know which skill to upgrade.

But some other players from Myongjin fared better.

“I’ve got Intellect 5!”

“My Stamina is 5!”

“I’ve got Agility 6!”

Because these guys had extraordinary stat points, I just decided to save on my golden rings first.

However, as the rounds progressed, more powerful monsters came out, and eventually I had to invest all the golden rings I collected in Threatening Arrow because my Agility was the highest.

Anyway, I was almost on the verge of failing, but thanks to my fellow players with good stat points, we managed to advance to Round 50.

“Check status window.”

[Strength 15, Agility 20, Intellect 18]

Even though I concentrated on upgrading Threatening Arrow because it was affected by my Agility, I just felt so frustrated after confirming my Agility value.

Agility 20 right before Round 50 could not be worse for me.

Anyway, I started Round 50, but I was simply baggage, along with other players. “Damn it!”

“Failed again!”

“Is this quest really possible to clear?”

Even though my father, the leader of the Myongjing Guild, was present along with my brother, sister, and mother, the Myongjin players did not hesitate to complain. Of course, I could understand their feelings because even my sister and brother let out a long sigh.

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

I didn’t stop attacking Minotauros still moving around the track. Then some players even climbed on the track and attacked them. The monsters stepped back, shifting from foot to foot, which was not unusual at all because even general monsters did the same thing in that situation.

[Due to interfering with the path of the monsters, one stat point will drop randomly.]

In the status window, there was no health or mana, let alone level.

So, they didn’t die, but instead the above message rang.

Nevertheless, everyone here desperately tried hard to clear Round 50 as best as they could.

Even if we managed to clear Round 50, there was no guarantee we would clear the next round because of a high probability of failure. Although we knew it, everyone here, including me, kept desperately at it. I, too, upset about my repeated failures, climbed on the track and attacked the monsters.

Thud!

The Minotauros stepped back. A message rang at that moment, which was nothing unusual because everybody heard it when he or she obstructed the monster’s path.

But the message this time was completely different from what I knew.
