Chapter 210: This is not the right time to say hello (1)
I looked at the scenery from the Evil Eyes telescope.
Then, without realizing it, I stared at the telescope.
The eyes were really opened, right?
Still, I didnt trust it, so I even checked the message.
[A little bit of luck comes into your hands.]
[Youve temporarily become proficient in operating the telescope.]
[Increase the duration of the effect]
The system didnt lie.
I didnt see it wrong.
Over the years, I had often experienced unbelievable things.
Among them, today took the cake.
Having one hell of a dynamic day.
I promised myself to refrain from making any guarantees in the future.
Nevertheless, I had to guarantee this one.
Eunaxus, the great evil, Urus, Argentress, and the elves.
Those on the battlefield had a reason why they couldnt back down.
Regardless of whether the reason was right or not.
They were all really planning to see it through to the end.
A being who could stop such a fight?
I could guarantee.
Not only in reality but also on the Arcana continent.
As far as I know, such a being didnt exist.
So I couldnt help but panic.
No, who are you?
The transcendent who appeared riding on a broom in the portal.
Not long after she appeared, the fight stopped as if it was a lie.
I knew very well.
That this was not an area where you could scrutinize their strength.
Above all, the people gathered were not great people who would be intimidated by a single transcendent person.
Then there was only one reason.
That unknown transcendent.
She came with news that could end the fight.
No, what the hell was the news?
I was so curious.
Unfortunately, I couldnt hear the reason.
Telepathy, huh. I resented magic at this moment.
How annoying.
Of course, there was no way they had noticed that I was watching through the telescope. They used telepathy simply because of the loud thunder. With that loud noise, no matter how loud your voice was, you wouldnt be able to have a conversation.
Even though I knew it was inevitable, I couldnt help but feel regret.
The rain has quietened down.
I tried to ignore Grandfels well-spoken words as usual and thought about it.
I didnt know what happened but
In the end, the system didnt lie.
From Eunaxus to the great evil.
Everyone stopped fighting and dispersed as if it had been a lie.
Though looking at the mournful look in their eyes as they left the place, it seemed they still had some regrets left. At any rate, it seemed they decided that right now was not the time to fight.
I didnt feel good about it because I didnt know what caused it.
Huft
I inadvertently swallowed a sigh of relief.
It was an immediate concern, but it would end if I was the only one wondering about it.
If the transcendent on a broom had not appeared
The conclusion of the lucky day would have been obvious.
Still, we avoided the ending of the Earths destruction.
She was truly a benefactor whom I encountered through my significantly rising luck.
It was natural to feel thankful.
But I ended up blurting it all out.
Didnt I tell you? Its a matter of pioneering luck and destiny.
I am not going to say a word!
Of course, those words wouldnt have reached the Arcana Continent.
In good conscience, I offered my sincere apology on behalf of the immature Grandfel.
Its complicated to explain, but Im sorry hes in puberty.
.
.
.
[The sirens song blesses you.]
[Your luck increases significantly.]
The mess that unfolded on the Arcana continent.
As for the duration of the remaining effect after the major incident had ended.
I was determined to make full use of it.
I was doubtful at the beginning.
Now that everything had ended peacefully with the appearance of a benefactor.
The effect of luck had been proven.
I flapped my jacket and looked at the forest.
[Warmonger Reindeer: Lv.750]
[Leader of the Warmonger Reindeer: Lv.800]
The middle area of Zero Mountain.
Even though it looked closer to an ordinary beast than a monster, you shouldnt ignore its strength. You could see that from the fact that the majority of the players were struggling with the rabbits in Zero Mountain.
Five regular monsters and one named monster.
The [Natural Enemy Relationship] was not activated.
Considering the level difference, it was impossible to hunt without using transcendent-level magic.
Even though I steadily trained my stats other than mana through class quests.
It was true that I was inferior to melee-class players of the same level.
Nevertheless, I spoke in a low voice.
It must be tough for you.
I held the ethereal iron in my hand.
So I will be considerate.
Wait a minute, who gets to be considerate?
Even if I got my hands on the legendary item ethereal iron.
I couldnt make flashy moves like I did during my duel with Shegwin.
Unless I left everything to the ethereal iron.
It was all up to Lee Hoyeols cunning mind.
I want to leave it to the ethereal iron for the rest of my life!
Society did not develop through the division of labor for nothing.
I had a lot of wells and holes to worry about. It was true that when it came to swordsmanship, I just wanted to follow the path led by the ethereal iron.
As common saying goes, I wanted to be a bus passenger.
However.
Respond.
Would this pride ever hand over the steering wheel to someone else?
No matter how difficult it was, Grandfel wouldnt be able to resolve his frustration if he didnt take a step forward. In the end, I was the one who struggled again this time!
Soon, the battle began.
I could feel the ego sword.
The ethereal irons voice.
Does this mean that you are my master?
I was surprised when the ethereal iron blurted out its words like that.
It could even scold the Sword Saint, Shegwin.
It was the kind of thing the ethereal iron would say.
Maybe it recognized my shallow nature.
For a moment, my thiefs feet went numb.
(TL note: Thiefs feet gone numb = A guilty conscience needs no accuser.)
But my worry was unfounded.
A mindset that doesnt change on any battlefield.
Yes, it was really someones alter ego.
Indeed, that kind of mindset is what made your sword force so strong in such a short period of time. As expected, my choice was not wrong. I am glad to be with you on your journey, my lord!
A consistent mindset?
It wasnt wrong.
Thanks to the endlessly abundant results that bloomed due to my struggle.
Even if you considered the recommended level, I had been dealing with ruptures and monsters that were at least a hundred to several hundred levels higher. Even my accomplishment in reaching the sword force was due to dying once.
Sometimes not knowing is good for both sides.
Ethereal iron, Im glad youre happy.
Sk
A good thing is still a good thing, I thought so and swung the ethereal iron.
It didnt have to be swordsmanship.
Starting fromblack magic and all the way toshooting, there was more than one well that I had to repair.
Among them, why did I choose swordsmanship first?
That was because it had a clear goal.
[Transcendent: Your transcendent state is enough for you to be called a transcendent. Current achievements reached: Circle (1,000% increase in all magic manifestations) / Incomplete Quick Swordsmanship / None / None]
If it went beyond incomplete and became complete.
Just like the circle, new effects would be unlocked.
I was choosing the option that was expected to produce the greatest results relative to the effort.
The battle with a herd of Warmonger Reindeer.
Needless to say, it was my victory.
Even if I just put on the jacket instead of wearing it.
Not only was I plastered with epic items, I also had a legend-grade item in my hands. This level difference was easily inconsequential.
On top of that, even though it was incomplete, it even included the art of quick swordsmanship.
[Your level has gone up.]
[Your level has gone up.]
[Your level has gone up.]
My level went up by 3 levels to level 598.
Maybe because I was close to level 600.
I could clearly feel that slow rate of the level-up as I hit a new wall. Even so, compared to other players, it was a ridiculous growth rate.
Everyone is probably still hunting all day.
Just rising 1 level.
Let alone 1 day, in some cases, there were players who didnt stop hunting for several days.
Considering their effort, lets not complain, Hoyeol.
But I still cant stand this.
I didnt know how this happened either.
There was no easy way.
I sighed as I looked at the status window.
[Tenacity: 1]
[Point owned: 3]
The newly unlocked stats were aesthetics and tenacity.
From the beginning, the number of the aesthetic stat was divided into upper, medium, and low. Naturally, I thought it would be impossible to distribute points, and in fact, it really was.
Tenacity, however.
It shouldnt use a digit number!
I was wondering why Akshan gave me a fraudulent stat.
Akshan valued effort more than anyone else.
Such Akshan, demon hunters.
There was no way they would have handed an easy stat.
I recalled the effect of tenacity.
[Tenacity: Converts mental strength into ability scores. Each time the tenacity increases, the converted ability value increases additionally.]
I didnt know if it was because of Granfels almost indomitable spirit.
Tenacity showed an efficiency of approximately 50 stat points per 1 point.
From now on, I could achieve 50 levels of efficiency for each level.
I was satisfied.
But as expected, it was just a chicken egg.
The way to increase tenacity is obvious.
It must be hard work, huh!
Just like when tenacity was unlocked.
It was obvious that I had to train beyond my limits.
In that regard, I would have no time to rest.
Still, I might be able to increase my tenacity with the effect of luck.
Before I knew it, I was already thinking of struggling.
Somehow, I felt like I was infected by Granfels pride
It was not too late to feel the shame of suffering from the dark history tomorrow.
[Remaining time: 16:14]
As I checked the duration of the sirens blessing, I said.
Time is like afternoon tea.
I was wondering why you didnt say that today.
*
The office of the Mage Tower.
[Remaining time: 54 minutes]
I would guarantee you one last time.
There will never be another day as difficult as today!
I was already suffering from my busy schedule. Despite that, it wasnt enough, so I diligently went back and forth here and there to get my moneys worth from my increased luck.
It was not a bad day.
Since those words came out of my mouth, I had said everything.
So heres what happened.
Lets reflect on it while the tea water warmed up.
[Tenacity: 2]
First of all, after hard training, the tenacity increased by 1 point.
I was happy and shocked at the same time.
My luck had increased significantly.
If this amount of training only gave 1 point, what would it be usually like?
I couldnt shake off my worries.
A fluke was nothing but a fluke.
The new green tea brewed in cold water is not to my taste.
Dont talk at a time like this, Grandfel.
Still, considering the effectiveness of tenacity, the hardship was understandable.
The moment my vision became blurry when doing push-ups.
The tenacity increased.
Because of that effect, my strength increased by 100 points.
Escaping hardship for the rest of my life is impossible.
If we ignored the process and just looked at the results, tenacity was truly a fraudulent stat.
I should keep training until I pass out Of course, the effect of the sharp increase in luck didnt end there.
At the Yusra Kingdom office where I stopped by to handle business, there were quite a few achievements.
Among them, the most welcome achievement was the news delivered directly by the king, Hakuna.
I apologize for all this time. I finally made up my mind.
Hakuna hadnt been able to hold a sword properly.
To be precise, he hadnt been able to look at the blade properly. This was because every time he saw a sword, spear, or shield, he was reminded of the people he couldnt protect at the times of the ancient kingdom.
Even if I am not good enough, Ill do my duty.
That Hakuna overcame his past.
It was good news for me in many ways.
Hakuna overcoming his trauma was something to celebrate.
Thanks to him, I felt like my workload would decrease a bit.
I felt like I could breathe a little.
Tap tap
My step lightened.
Upon returning to the Magic Tower, another good news awaited me.
Words appeared on the parchment.
Judging from the handwriting and content, it was a letter sent from Marcelo.
I am glad youre doing well.
Except for the flashy descriptions.
If I were to summarize it in just one line, it would be like this.
The Master Tower reacted for the first time.
At the top floor of the Mage Tower.
In an unknown mana sphere, the Tower Master was floating with his eyes closed.
It was said that they detected some movement from the Tower Master.
Of course, even if it was called a movement.
It wasnt anything special, just a wriggle of his fingers.
Its never happened before.
His handwriting seemed more cheerful than usual.
It seemed to tell how excited Marcelo was.
Of course, I was happy too.
[Quest: Reconstruction of the Mage Tower]
The true nature of the contradiction that existed in the Mage Tower.
Now even the purpose of the Mage Tower, the pursuit of truth, has become impure.
Set the Mage Tower straight from its foundation.
Encounter with the Tower Master. (In Progress)
Dispose of the runaway demon worshippers. (Succcesfull)
-Find the true truth. (In Progress)
Anyway, I felt like the quest that once felt daunting was finally making some progress.
Clink
I recited while pouring hot water into the teacup.
The ending is important.
Yeah.
After such a fulfilling day, there was about an hour left.
Of course, I also planned to make the most of the remaining hour.
I was planning to enter the social gathering of time and space.
Im going to meet you, my benefactor.
I was talking about the unknown awakened person who appeared on a broom.
Now that my luck had increased significantly.
The probability of us not meeting each other would also decrease.
So right now.
To appease Grandfel, who was not at all pleased with the visit the social gathering.
I brewed the green tea bag.
They have everything on the menu, but no green tea.
I recited seriously.
Rocket delivery must be urgent even in time and space.
.
.
.
Grandfels formality dominated my body.
In social settings, his obsession with formality became stronger.
Not only in the consistently upright posture, but also in the gait and words and actions.
I couldnt act rashly and hastily.
However.
The first thing I said when I entered the social gathering was a warning.
Reveal your identity.
Really.
I guaranteed you one last time.
There was a person who could never exist in the social gathering of time and space.
