Chapter 241: Mythic-grade Item (2)

Chapter 241: Mythic-grade Item (2)

My worries began to dissipate upon witnessing this.

Kim Hyunsung, receiving the light emanating from a mythic-grade sword, truly looked like a warrior that one usually only saw in fairy tales.

‘Whoaa…’

I had never regretted following Kim Hyunsung, and this reinforced my belief.

‘It’s magnificent! Hyunsung! It’s great!’

The protagonist, originally, was mostly him.

I remembered myself being chosen by Juliana, but this was a different situation. Even I had to admit that Kim Hyunsung was definitely different from me.

The white light turned towards him as if it were enticing him, and he slowly reached out, as if it was his own from the beginning.

I was not the only one transfixed by this sight. The Black Swans had begun to swoon upon seeing his handsome figure engulfed in such a light.

I already knew that the world was unfair, but I had no choice but to face this harsh reality once more. It was as if God had chosen Hyunsung to have both talent and looks.

As soon as the sword reached his hand, the light spread out into the entire room.

However, as if nothing had happened, Hyunsung took his sword to his waist, looked around with a little embarrassed expression, and spoke.

Unlike me, who could see information about the sword from the beginning, other people would be very curious.

“I think I have succeeded in getting the Sense of Ownership.”

“As expected… you have. Is it a mythic-grade sword?”

It was Park Yeon-joo who asked this.

“Yes. It’s a mythic-grade sword. I don’t think I can use all the functions because I am not yet capable as a user… Compared to the legendary-grade item, there seems to be no shortage. First of all, I apologize to all of the Black Swan members.”

“No. You don’t need to apologize at all, Hyunsung-ssi. Ownership is not something one can decide on. The weapon has chosen you. And since you were in the position of helping the expedition in the first place, I don’t want to make this a problem. It would be a lie if I said I’m not envious, but seeing that you have done well makes me feel better.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Hyunsung was really lucky. Though this was ground for ownership problems between guilds, the Black Swans still let him take it.

Plus, Black Swan Guild Master Park Yeon-joo had a crush on Kim Hyunsung, and this problem was passed without worry because of the peculiarity of Sense of Ownership.

‘But since we got it, it’s right that we take it.’

No matter how high the value was, it was no different from a stone if there were no capable users.

When I, unfortunately, thought that it would be unreasonable for us to own the legendary-grade shield that Park Deokgu was touching, as well as the legendary-grade staff that Jung Hayan was staring at, I saw Hayan herself getting engulfed in bright light.

‘Good job, Hayan!’

She had also succeeded in getting the Sense of Ownership.

“I-I’m sorry.”

A faint smile was already hanging on Jung Hayan’s face, who bowed her head.

Though I should’ve controlled them from touching the items, I couldn’t help but hold back a smile.

“Jung Hayan.”

“I’m sorry… Oppa.”

“Deokgu, for now, put down your shield.”

‘Don’t put it down.’

“Deokgu.”

‘Start the Sense of Ownership quickly! You pig bastard. Put in the magic power and take it! I will handle it! Originally, you just have to take it, and then wait and see.’

“O-Okay. Hyung-nim.”

‘Just take it!’

Unfortunately, my real intention had not been properly conveyed.

Park Deokgu, who put his shield down on the ground while looking clueless, retreated about two steps while smacking his lips. It was a little regrettable, but I had no choice but to continue talking, swallowing the bitter taste on my mouth.

“I think it would be better for Hee-young-ssi to put down her item for now as well. The same goes for Ki-mo-ssi. I understand that you’re a little excited, but we didn’t come alone. Item distribution is the exclusive authority of the expedition leader, and Park Yeon-joo is the expedition’s right leader. There’s nothing to do in Hyunsung’s case, but… Hayan…”

“I’m sorry.”

‘What are you sorry about? You did really well. Do that again next time.’

After all, after going out of the dungeon, it wouldn’t be bad to reward her.

“Well, it seems that it happened without Hayan knowing. Scolding her like this… It’ll be quite difficult to stay composed in this situation unless Park Deokgu… Ah, yes!”

The clueless Park Deokgu was proud of himself as he was eager to be patient with Jung Hayan, but that pig needed a punishment, not a prize.

‘You’re grounded when we get back.’

However, I couldn’t show what I truly felt.

At this, I looked towards Park Yeon-joo.

“I will apologize instead.”

“No, Kiyoung-ssi. It’s been done already… I think it’s better to celebrate than to get angry in this situation.”

“I’m really sorry.”

“You don’t have to keep apologizing. Anyway, in the current situation, this is more important than anything else. It is appropriate for someone who can use it right now to take it. First of all, I want to think of surviving as my top priority. If she succeeded in getting the Sense of Ownership, it means that Hayan-ssi is the one who can handle that weapon best at this place. Our wizards also seem to be okay… Congratulations, Hayan-ssi.”

“T-Thank you…”

‘Right.’

I was sure of it. Park Yeon-joo was an angel. She seemed to be conscious of Kim Hyunsung since she was showing too much kindness, but I started to envy Kim Hyunsung once again as she showed that she would yield to him as much as she could.

I thought that a very bright tomorrow would be waiting for this particular love affair.

‘It makes sense, too.’

I also really like the part that she thought on the premise of surviving rather than to succumb to her greed. I could see why she had appointed Lee Jihye, who originally had nothing, and gave her the authority to solve both the big and small issues in their guild.

“Of course, can we first determine whether the remaining items can be used on our side?”

“Yes. I think it would be nice to do that.”

I also like the part of taking what she could in this situation.

‘I envy Kim Hyunsung.’

In the midst of that, Juliana began to talk to me, muttering something.

It might be the aftermath of waking up after a long time as she soon became quiet, but there would be a substantial difference between Kim Hyunsung’s mythic-grade sword and Juliana.

Anyway, if I looked at the situation objectively, it seemed that the Blue Guild had gained both mythic and legendary items. The remaining legendary item was the shield that Park Deokgu touched. However, there were also other high-quality heroic-grade items.

Since the shield was an item that required ownership, our side had a chance of obtaining it, but in fact, I thought that the Black Swan might dominate the heroic-grade items.

Sun Hee-young glanced at me as she wanted to get the heroic-grade auxiliary tool classified as a Bible, which bothered me, but it would be hard, even for me, to ask for that item now.

There were only four priests in this expedition right now.

Although all of them were equipped with heroic-grade items, there was no guarantee that they would not want that Bible.

As it was a secondary weapon rather than the main armament, it may be difficult for priests who generally wore a two-handed staff to use, but there was no end to the original human greed.

It would only be right to wait and see.

That was, if…

[Sword of the 12th Knights: Durendal (Mythic)]

[In mythology, this is a great sword used by the head of the 12 Knights. Known to cut out anything, this great sword, despite countless years, did not wish for its light. It is no longer possible to access detailed information. -Durendal does not break.]

[Blood-Stained Red Gem: Anemone (Legendary)]

[This is a staff decorated with jewels from the blood after the jealous goddess murdered her husband’s lover. Basically, it amplifies the user’s magic and awakens the knowledge of the unique magic embedded in the gem. The user’s growth value is low, so the available unique magic knowledge is limited. Magic power increases by 10. -Anemone to be cursed! Dirty whore Anemone! You will never get out of that gem for a lifetime.]

Since we had already taken items of this level, there was no conscience left to claim ownership of heroic-grade items.

Like the Fragment of the Ancient God or the green monster I saw before, mythic-grade items couldn’t be checked with my eyes, but there were things that I could feel even if I didn’t see them with my ability.

Kim Hyunsung’s sword was definitely the highest treasure, as it was a sword that would never break. That alone was worth it.

Kim Hyunsung’s swordsmanship skills were already high enough to be recognized as one of the Empire’s Eight Seats, even with the public doubting his experience.

I didn’t know what features were hidden but assuming that Hyunsung, who already had no shortcomings in many ways, used it, just the fact that this was an unbreakable sword would prove to be dangerous in his hands.

The legendary-grade staff that Jung Hayan had gotten also didn’t need much to say.

‘The explanation… made me a bit uneasy…’

However, I felt good. Our rank had definitely raised.

After the jealous goddess murdered her husband’s lover, the explanation that the blood was made into gems sounded ominous, but, for now, it was a good thing.

‘Anemone…’

Even if it had a good affinity with Jung Hayan, I felt like there would be a problem. In fact, after taking ownership, she didn’t seem to be all that interested in the big staff.

‘If you’re going to do that, why’d you run so fast and take it?’

It felt ridiculous, seeing her lose all interest right after the Sense of Ownership had ended.

It seemed that she was greedier for the stats inherent in the staff than the staff itself, but I wondered why she had wanted to take the legendary-grade staff, even when she knew that I would scold her.

However, I soon began to understand why.

‘Her magic power stats are at 97…’

It had only been a little over a year, but this marked the moment when Jung Hayan gained enough power to officially enter the Empire’s Eight Seats.

With this realization came another, darker thought.

‘Now, wait a minute…’
