Chapter 220: God-Tier Boots (Part 1)
“Is this correct? Mandragora’s Magic Stem, Adamantium Plate, New Material Leather, Wind Spirit’s Feather, Magic Core, and two pieces of Black Iron Powder?”
Ryu Min nodded as he verified the materials that Hymer had brought.
“Yes, that’s correct. How much is it all?”
“Uh… give me a moment, let me calculate…”
Hymer hesitated for a moment, calculating the price on his abacus. The total was unexpectedly high, and he stammered as he spoke.
“Don’t be too shocked… The total cost for the seven materials is 5,932,900 gold…”
Russell, who was not the one making the purchase, gasped in disbelief at the nearly six million gold.
“Wh-what kind of materials are this expensive?”
“They’re that hard to come by. We barely managed to get them.”
“Still, a price of over 800,000 gold for each item…”
Russell, unable to believe it, looked at Hymer like he was a scammer. Hymer, feeling wronged, looked as if he had suddenly gone from a master craftsman to a conman.
Of course, Ryu Min trusted Hymer and didn’t think he was inflating the price.
‘This is fair. These are materials used for God-tier items, after all.’
For less than a million gold per item, it wasn’t a bad deal.
Besides, Ryu Min had about 65 million gold on hand.
After slaying the angel, his wealth had accumulated exponentially, and now it had reached this level.
‘I won’t have much use for all this gold now, but it will come in handy later.’
Especially during the 17th round, having plenty of gold would be beneficial.
“Isn’t this a bit too much? Maybe you should think about it more…”
“I’ll buy it.”
“Wise decision, so let’s just… wait, what?”
“I said I’ll buy the materials.”
Hymer blinked in surprise, his face showing disbelief.
“This is a sum even the Hormos Merchant Guild would hesitate to pay…”
“I’ve got plenty of gold. Let’s just make the deal.”
A trade window appeared before Ryu Min.
[Please freely select the items or gold you wish to trade.]
? No items selected
? Gold: 5,932,900 G
**
? Materials: Mandragora’s Magic Stem, Adamantium Plate, New Material Leather, Wind Spirit’s Feather, Magic Core, two pieces of Black Iron Powder
? Gold: 0 G
[Trade]
[Both parties must agree for the transaction to be completed.]
As soon as Ryu Min pressed the trade button, a clinking sound followed, and the gold was deducted while the materials were transferred to his inventory.
A smirk crept onto Ryu Min’s face.
‘Now, I have everything I need to craft the God-tier boots and weapon—except for one thing.’
The core material, condensed Aether, wasn’t something even Hymer could sell. Ryu Min would have to get it himself.
‘I already have one Aether from killing Sariel, so I can at least make the boots.’
He wanted to craft the God-tier weapon first, but the weapon required two pieces of condensed Aether.
‘If I take down two archangels like before, I should be able to get it.’
Whether or not archangels would appear in this round, he wasn’t sure.
“Haha, I can’t believe you’re really buying these materials. How could someone like you have such wealth…”
“I got lucky.”
With that simple reply, Ryu Min waved his hand and turned his back on the laughing Hymer.
“Now that I’m done here, I’ll take my leave.”
“It was nice to see you, The Ahead one.”
“I enjoyed our meeting too, Blacksmith Hymer. Russell, keep up the good work. I’ll be back in three hours, so see you then.”
“You’re coming back? Why?”
“I want to see how much stronger you have gotten.”
“Understood. I’ll work hard and wait for your return.”
“Good. See you later.”
“Take care!”
With a nod, Ryu Min left the smithy and pushed off the ground.
Flap
The wings of darkness sprouted from his back and carried him into the sky.

While Russell was doing his quest, Ryu Min pondered where to spend his time.
‘I’ve already passed this round, and I’ve completed all my objectives.’
He couldn’t just sit idly, so he thought about doing a side quest.
After some thought, one idea came to him.
‘It might be best to take on a mercenary quest.’
Ryu Min’s current mercenary rank was Veteran.
Upon reaching the next rank, Master, he would earn the right to hunt dragons.
‘I need to kill a dragon. The items, titles, and runes you get from it are invaluable.’
Killing a dragon would also yield God-tier accessories.
One of the 18 essential runes and a title would also be earned, so there was no reason not to hunt it.
‘But I can’t do it now. The impenetrable barrier is blocking access.’
Knowing where a dragon’s nest was didn’t mean he could go there right away.
Just like how he couldn’t force his way into Elisorium’s treasure vault, he couldn’t bypass the barrier.
The only way in was by raising his mercenary rank to Master.
‘No need to worry. It’s just one more rank to go.’
Completing a few more mercenary-hunting quests should get him there in no time.
Being at the Veteran rank, the rewards for these quests were much better than those of ordinary side quests, so there was no reason to hesitate.
‘It’s here.’
Tap
Ryu Min landed after flying for about ten minutes, arriving at the Kingdom of Albiz.
The Golden Eagle Mercenary Guild had branches in every city, so he didn’t have to travel far.
‘Before taking on a mercenary quest…’
