Episode 121. Lightning Guardian (1)
As you progress through the Mepan, you will have many opportunities to realize how important your occupation is.
You can easily clear quests that were previously impossible to clear with a normal job. Even quests with high difficulty levels are significantly lowered with just your job.
There are even quests that only certain professions can receive.
Crucially, the way people view you also changes.
Because of that, Ethan has had several jobs.
If you were to ask Ethan to choose the best job he’s ever had, what would it be?
Ethan would choose this lightning guardian without hesitation.
I can confidently say that Lightning Guardian was the best job Ethan ever acquired.
‘The problem is that it’s crazy hard to get this job.’
But even with such high difficulty, Ethan managed to obtain this Lightning Guardian. It is different from the Descendants of the Moon Goddess that he was unable to obtain while doing Mephan.
‘It’s all in my head.’
“What is that? What are we chasing right now!?”
Yeorika asked, breathing urgently.
“Do you see that light? That’s a spirit. There’s a wizard hiding in this Titi Valley. We’re going to find that wizard.”
Yereka strained her eyes and saw the light.
A wave of mana could be felt. Normally, it would not have been possible to tell just by looking at it, but Yeerika quickly understood what Ethan was saying.
“It’s true!”
“Our first priority is to find that wizard, Yeerika.”
The light rose upward for a moment, then stopped. Ethan and Yereka moved slightly to the side, waiting for the light to move.
“Fall down the valley!”
“Yerika!”
As Ethan stepped forward without hesitation, Yeerika quickly realized what Ethan meant.
“Fly.”
Then, he immediately cast a flying spell on Ethan who was jumping in, and then cast a flying spell on himself and jumped down into the valley.
‘also.’
Yeerika’s flying magic was quite well-made. There’s a reason she’s Hecate’s granddaughter.
Ethan was able to quickly chase the light thanks to the flying magic that was spread out to allow him to move freely.
Yeerika, who was more skilled in fly magic, flew away from Ethan, keeping her distance.
It was to prepare for an attack that could strike at any time.
As I prepared, something started flying towards me, just as I was getting ready.
They were sharp spears made of intense flame and wind.
The spells were flying as if they would tear Ethan and Yerika apart.
“Perfect protect.”
As Yereka clasped her hands together as if in prayer, a shield formed around her. The shield wrapped around Ethan exactly.
Pavababak-!
The fast and sharp magic spells were blocked by the perfect protect that Yeerika had deployed and disappeared.
The magical barrage continued until we reached the bottom of the valley.
However, Yeerika, who had been rising as high as the water could, did not allow a single spell to penetrate the barrier in the midst of the magical barrage.
Knock knock-.
Ethan, who had safely made it down to the bottom of the valley, ran again.
“How long do I have to go?”
“They’re all here now.”
As Ethan said, the light stopped in front of a cave. Then, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“I think there’s something in that cave.”
“Jerika, be careful.”
Ethan said so and took out the Frost Sword-Leah.
Shaaaaah-.
An intense cold air spreads around.
At the same time, monsters began to emerge from the surrounding forest.
“That’s what it was. Go into the cave, Ethan. I’ll take care of this.”
Yereka raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
Then, mana began to surge like waves.
“Don’t worry.”
Yeorika said so and nodded towards the cave.
Ethan’s words and gestures were very reassuring. They say that one well-raised escort is better than ten, and it was indeed Yeerika.
“When you’re done, follow me in.”
“yes.”
Ethan left the outside to her and went into the cave.
* * *
Knock. Knock.
It was extremely humid inside the cave.
Ethan used the Eye of Horus to quickly dash through the cave. He already knew the way.
Left, left, right, left.
I knew the way because I had been there countless times while I was on my way to Mepan. The place I arrived at was a prison blocked off by iron bars.
There was a person in it.
“The spirit told me that someone was chasing me. I thought I saw something different since humans are rare in this desolate land, but it really was a human.”
The man behind the iron bars was as skinny as a mummy. His white hair was pale and his body was reduced to nothing but bones.
There was an iron ball attached to his ankle to restrain him.
“What are you doing in this desolate land?”
This was the turning point.
Talk to him or run away.
If you talk to him, you can receive a quest.
“I heard there is treasure here.”
“Treasure? Ah, you’re a treasure hunter. The treasure is definitely here. But I can’t get it. The person who made this valley like this has it. I’m trapped here because of him. Can you see my condition? I’m dying. No, maybe I’m already dead but pretending to be alive.”
“I think you know something about treasure.”
“Are you curious? But I can’t just tell you.”
-You have received the quest.
* <
[You came to find the treasure of the valley, and heard the story of the valley from a man locked in an iron cage. The man seems to know something about the treasure. Listen to the story from the man.]
[Reward: Information about the treasure]
“As you can see, this is what I look like. My body is already as weak as it can be. And do you see this?”
The man moved the iron ball attached to his ankle slightly. The iron ball boasted its weight along with the clanking sound of the chain.
“All I can do is check the situation in this valley through the spirits. But that’s over now. I’m losing all my energy.”
He let out a deep sigh.
There was something about it that made even a person who knew nothing about it curious.
It was natural to want to know what on earth was going on.
“I would like to tell you more, but I don’t have the energy. If you can help me recover, I can tell you more.”
-Restore the man’s condition!
-If you restore the man’s condition, you can hear his story.
There are many monsters outside this cave. However, the forest next to it where the monsters are swarming is filled with many medicinal herbs.
‘The original quest was to make potions using monster materials and herbs from the forest and feed them to them.’
It was really hard to receive and clear this quest in the past Mepan. The man’s condition was usually not serious.
His health was so poor that it was a wonder he was still alive, and numerous elixirs and potions had to be offered to improve his condition.
Even the monsters here are quite powerful. In addition, there are some monsters that are quite difficult to deal with.
‘At first I thought I only had to feed one.’
However, you have to feed more than a dozen bottles of elixir to proceed to the next quest.
‘furthermore.’
-The man’s condition is getting worse by the minute.
-There is a time limit.
-72:00
The time limit is 72 hours, 3 days.
I have to restore this man’s health for three days.
At first glance it looked easy, but in reality it was a very difficult quest.
Once you actually start the quest, the three days given won’t feel like a long time.
“Knock knock knock!”
When the man coughed, a clump of black blood came out.
“… … Huh.”
He groaned and gestured for her to hurry up and come back. Ethan smiled as he watched.
Even at that time, I thought three days would be enough.
However, as time went by, I became more and more anxious, and it was only when I really reached the end that I was able to meet the quest clear conditions and improve the man’s condition.
‘But I’m not the same as I was back then.’
Who is Ethan? He is a person who has already surpassed the limit in terms of sickness. 3 days? When he first became Ethan, he was on the verge of death even with a single cough.
Ethan gave strength to the frost sword he was holding.
Shaaaak-.
Then he swung it straight at the iron bars.
Chae-Ang-! Chae-Ang-!
-Frost overlaps.
Frost formed on the solid iron bars. Once, twice, three times.
The overlapping frost completely destroyed the iron bars.
Sigh!
Ethan cut through the iron bars and stepped inside.
“You’re a stronger friend than I thought!”
The man looked at Ethan in admiration.
“Do you already have the medicine? But it won’t work. I haven’t just been doing nothing. I’ve tried various methods, using the power of the spirits. But even the most effective medicine won’t work.”
The man clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry.
“It would be better to quickly get out of this cave and bring something that can heal me at a time like this.”
Instead of answering him, Ethan pulled a herb out of his subspace pouch.
Then the man’s expression changed to one of surprise.
“This smell… … .”
The man, who was a spirit master and a magician, could tell that all the herbs Ethan had taken out were precious.
It wasn’t even one or two.
“How much exactly… … ?”
Even at first glance, precious herbs kept coming out. Ethan put the herbs he took out into a flask and started making a decoction.
-Magic Book: The effect of Donguibogam is activated.
In one hand he held the magic book: Donguibogam, and with the other he quickly made a herbal medicine.
Ethan was able to focus more on his herbal medicine skills while teaching his students.
This false herbal medicine was a great technique that surpassed the effectiveness of the Brulee originally used by Ethan.
‘Brûlée actually has clear limits. It can make an average B+ grade, and up to an A grade, but it can’t make anything higher than that.’
On the other hand, there was no limit to the herbal medicine. Especially since the skill definitely helped, it helped Ethan to devote all his abilities to making the herbal medicine.
‘If I just concentrate properly, if I can just write properly.’
In addition, if good materials are added, S-grade items can also be made.
‘Now is the time to focus.’
Ethan was the first to let go of his hand.
“Nonsense…….”
A potion was being created in an instant right before my eyes. It was a situation that I couldn’t understand, not only with my own knowledge, but also with common sense.
“You’re a prosecutor, right? But how did you manage to make such a perfect potion? And the speed is abnormal. If you handle such precious ingredients at that speed, they’ll all go bad!”
Ethan looked at the man in astonishment and fed him the finished medicine by shoving it into his mouth.
Gulp- Gulp-.
He drank the medicine straight up and looked even more surprised than before.
“Hyo, the effect… … .”
It was clearly a potion made quickly, but as soon as I drank it, I started to feel the effects immediately. My upper body, which had been trembling for a while, felt like it was gradually regaining its vitality.
Meanwhile, Ethan created a new potion.
And then he fed it to the man again.
‘This is like refueling.’
So Ethan continued to make and feed the herbal medicine.
The man who had been drinking the herbal medicine like a baby bird suddenly started shivering.
‘done.’
Heo Jun said that he wanted to save as many people as possible with this acupuncture and herbal medicine.
He said that he only thought about the patient in front of him and nothing else.
Regardless of whether it is possible or not, believe that you can heal without fear of failure.
‘There’s no need to think about anything else.’
You should forget about good materials and good grades.
The important thing is that the herbal medicine I am making now can cure the patient in front of me.
‘The congressman is not God.’
But when you are in front of a sick person, you must become infinitely closer to God.
* – I made Arund Gold Flower Decoction!
-Rating in progress… … .
-Arund Gold Flower Herbal Medicine [S-Rank]
-Heoryu Tangyaksul 1/10
A S-rank potion shone in Ethan’s hand.
