I Login Alone

Chapter 170

Episode 170.

Jung Si-woo’s bead acquisition rate in the dungeon was phenomenally high. The bead drop rate increased with an overkill, which was a common feat for Jung Si-woo.

“I once explained to Oppa the need for physical strength and magic allocation in the course of a dungeon.”

“Allocation?”

Soo Ah-rin also smiled vaguely at Yong Se-ha. There was a time for Soo Ah-rin when she thought it was an essential: Stamina Allocation. Of course, it’s been a while since she had forgotten. Stamina and magic control was pointless, and Jung Si-woo had now become a tank that always maintains his strength as he pushed the dungeon away. The degree of overkill was absurd, and naturally, the number of acquisition beads was too.

“Tens of Beads of Minimum Level 250 Monsters…”

The harvest in the previously integrated dungeon was great. Still, most monsters filling the dungeon were a poor mix that was distorted during the integration process. It wasn’t until the second half that elite chimeras heavily influenced by Metimoa appeared that he secured many high-quality beads. Still, it was embarrassing to compare them to this dungeon, which was unified under the name of Hecto in the process of integration and gained pure strength.

“I need armor.”

He hadn’t heard it in a long time. What’s different from before was that Jung Si-woo now agreed with it.

“Certainly, there’s no need to reinforce the weapons side.”

Even if the level was 100 higher than now, there was no need to change weapons. The punishment was a ridiculous treasure enough to make you wonder if it would be possible for players to take from heaven. Moreover, the hammer was supposed to become stronger in the future because it was a weapon that would eat up God’s power and grow.

“No, that’s not why.”

Let’s be honest: Jung Si-woo realized his death today. Without the Chaos scale, he would certainly have died. The Chaos scale wasn’t the result of Jung Si-woo’s training but a kind of compensation gained by obtaining access to the Abyss. There were many possibilities that he couldn’t have gotten the Chaos scale due to a mistake along the way, and then Jung Si-woo would have faced the end without even pursuing visible strength.

“As Ah-rin says, unexpected things will happen in the future…so yes, we need armor.”

To be strong by constantly challenging the unknown, he desperately needed the help of defenses to hold his life in case of an emergency. It was the first time that Jung Si-woo, who had been running with a trust in his body, cared about it.

“Then let’s split the beads. I won’t be able to dedicate all these beads at once. Even if the overall performance is reduced, it is also best to try several times to increase the chances of getting armor.”

“How many would be good?”

“Well…”

Soo ah-rin looked up and down at Jung Si-woo. Jung Si-woo, having released the Chaos scale, was almost half-naked. He was originally wearing armor, but he had finally torn apart and almost wiped out in this dungeon, and these would no longer be enough to recover. Jung Si-woo was quite fond of the class that enhanced the jumping power, but it was a pity.

“I don’t think getting normal armor would help you.”

It didn’t seem like he could fight back with B-Rank armor against an opponent who threatened Jung Si-woo. He didn’t even want S-Rank’s armor, so if he were to be a little more greedy, A+ Rank would do. He felt they should be in that ballpark with the beads they had claimed.

“At least one-twentieth…if you’re greedy, you’ll have to dedicate up to a tenth to get an effective weapon.”

“Is that enough? Isn’t that too little?”

“The total amount of beads is just too much.”

Do you try 20 times by dividing the bead by 1/20 or 10 times by 1/10? Jung Si-woo chose the latter and immediately implemented it. However, he seemed to be blessed by the weapon god.

“Oh, the A++ Rank Flame Sword! What a performance!”

“I don’t need it.”

“It’s an A+ Rank’s, Round Shield.”

“I don’t have time to use a shield. You take this, Se-ha.”

[What’s this? Hmm? Isn’t it the A++ Rank’s assault lance?]

“Another A+++ Rank weapon is here again! Oooh, iron whip!”

After five attempts, all but one shield was thrown out, which went with the Lance to Yong Se-ha, and the set of swords, whips, and throwing daggers went to Caina. Of course, it was a good thing when the party became stronger, but what he wanted now was a defense tool he could use! At this point, the switch in Jung Si-woo’s head clicked up.

“Let’s see who wins.”

“Oh, it’s dangerous.”

Just before Soo Ah-rin stopped, Jung Si-woo immediately shook off half of the remaining beads to the altar. It seemed like a large number of beads containing the beads of the armored orcs were converging into one, shining brilliantly at the altar.… eventually forming a wand.

[Battlefield Lady]

[Rank – A++]

[Attack Power – 2,500 – 4,000]

[Skills – 0/20,000]

[Properties – 1. Holy A++]

[Option – 1. Add combat enhancement to all sacred magic 2. ???]

[The wand of the victor who takes care of all his allies, at the forefront of the battle. A masterpiece created by a combination of two incompatible beliefs.

“…”

[It’s by far the best thing that’s ever come out. It’s a masterpiece indeed.]

“It’s a masterpiece…”

Jung Si-woo was speechless for a moment. It was hard to understand by which algorithm it was created.

“Uh, I’m guessing…”

“No, don’t guess.”

[It’s the properties of the armored orc and the power of the Hecto. This cane was created by replacing the opposing concepts of living things and machines with the concepts of combat and healing! Of course, I don’t know why the concept was replaced!]

To put it so plausible, Jung Si-woo’s anger only amplified. He just wanted to build armor, but why? Finally, he held out his wand to Soo Ah-rin with a ragged look. It was, of course, a much better-performing weapon than her previous wand.

“Well, I’ll use it well. I can make you stronger with this!”

“It’s a pleasure, but I can’t be happy…”

He sighed and looked around at the remaining beads. If he divided it up, he could try twice or up to three times, but at this point, the number of times wasn’t the problem, but it’s just that Jung Si-woo wouldn’t get the right defense.

But it was then.

“By the way, brother, what’s this pretty jewel?”

“Oh, this.”

What Soo Ah-rin pointed to was a black diamond that was beautifully processed, darkly reflecting light. It was the reward obtained after breaking down Hecto’s avatar. The recovery was immediate, but he wasn’t paying attention because he was distracted by the Dungeon Clear shortly after.

“Then we haven’t checked the options yet.”

It may be a simple gem, but it also might be a special artifact dedicated to the altar with beads, such as the moonstone obtained from the previously integrated dungeon. It was probably certain to see the great mana. Jung Si-woo viewed the information on jewelry with high expectations.

[The Black Dragon’s Rebellion]

[Rank – SS+]

[A dragon that is said to have appeared only in a few distant past worlds that haven’t been recorded, containing the destructive nature of the Black Dragon. It has lost many strengths due to deterioration over too many years, but it is still highly aggressive and has deep magic, so it has the best value as a material for weapons.]

“Hmm?”

After checking the artifact’s information, Jung Si-woo rubbed his eyes for a moment. Even if you desperately ignore the fact that Rank reached the SS Rank for the first time in his life, it’s just a black diamond. How can this be the scales of a dragon? Besides, where did the dragon pop out of? One hypothesis came to mind of Jung Si-woo, who was agonizing for a while. It wasn’t a very good one, though.

“Hecto, you called me a compatriot earlier…”

[Sure, Hecto was a god of Dragons!]

Caina concluded instead of Jung Si-woo. This guy was strangely aggressive today.

[And calling you a compatriot, perhaps its ignorant power and power of extortion were the preserve of the ancient Dragon race!]

“I’m a human being.”

[What are you talking about, master? What can I do to revisit my information?]

“No, that’s enough…”

Jung Si-woo had to try hard to suppress his desire to give Caina a swift jab. The fact that all the circumstances fit perfectly made him more resentful.

“Let’s leave that aside; it’s pointless now anyway.”

Yes, what was important was that Jung Si-woo needed armor now. And this diamond, wasn’t armor but material for a weapon. Even if it were possible to create artifacts by offering this gem to the altar, the result would be another weapon.

“Then I’ll talk to Beto and use it to strengthen the hammer.”

[What the hell are you talking about, master?]

Caina tackled again. Beto, of course, was a great magic blacksmith, but no matter how great the child was, he still had no knack for processing SS Rank’s stuff.

“How long do we have to wait then?”

[20 years…since our Beto is a genius, wouldn’t he be able to do it somehow in 10 years?]

He couldn’t believe it would be 10 years, even after Caina’s infinite love for her younger brother filter. Soo Ah-rin suggested an option to the frustrated Jung Si-woo.

“Oppa, I don’t know if there’s going to be armor or weapons, so wouldn’t it be fine to try it at this point? Moreover, just by looking at my wand, I’ve mixed the properties of combat and healing. Maybe there’s an artifact that combines the properties of weapons and armor!”

“Believe the properties of the Hecto and the Armored Orc….”

The last remaining pile of beads, surely, contained the Bead of Hecto, the enemy he had just fought for his life against. The peak bead, which holds the power of the Hecto as well as the power of the Armored Orcs. The combination of that and the Black Dragon’s Rebellion may, perhaps, have unexpected consequences.

“Okay, let’s do it.”

I’m too lazy to care about that now. Jung Si-woo threw all the beads and the gem at the altar. At that moment, blackened light soared from the altar and filled the cavern. Even if the magic came down like this, he would believe it.

“It looks like I’m doing something evil.”

“Don’t say that because I’m in a bad mood.”

Their wait wasn’t long. The swarm of black light was soon shaped into a small artifact, which was neatly absorbed into it. Swallow all the light as if you’re not going to miss a single shot and finally reveal who you are!

“Eh.”

“Ah…”

Jung Si-woo’s wish came true.

“It’s a Vambrace!”

Less than half…no, about a tenth of the scale.
