Episode 122. Lightning Guardian (2)
The man drank the completed S-grade herbal medicine.
Gulp gulp.
And soon after, the man who had been lying down slowly began to stand up.
The effects of the herbal medicine seemed so amazing that even he was surprised.
* – You have cleared the quest!
-You have cleared the quest in the shortest time possible!
-Time remaining: 71:40
-The man’s condition has completely improved.
Ethan cleared the quest in exactly 20 minutes.
* -Overwhelming results!
-Your reputation increases!
-You have achieved the achievement!
– You have earned likes by achieving the [Eat Cold Porridge] achievement.
– Got ‘5’ likes!
Ethan took a deep breath and smiled.
‘I’m glad I got an S rank right away.’
With this, the man’s illness was cured.
‘I have achieved fame and achievements.’
In addition, the man’s expression was unusual. I know from past experience that the reward greatly differs depending on how you clear the quest.
“What the heck… … I never thought I could wake up like this.”
He looked around at his now healthy body.
“Wow, you! You’re really amazing!”
The man laughed so hard he almost cried.
Then he snapped his fingers, and the iron ball binding his ankles broke with a loud crash.
“I guess you can tell me your story now.”
“That’s true. But I got paid too much for the story. I’ll give you the change.”
-You can choose your reward.
“A life that was already dead. Since you saved my life, I will give you the most precious things I have. Choose one.”
* [Anisida’s Bracelet], [Anisida’s Robe], [Anisida’s Ring], [Anisida’s Necklace]
Anisida was the man’s name.
‘I never thought Anisida would give me this kind of reward.’
“They may look shabby, but they are all effective. Sorry for the late introduction. I am a spirit master named Anisida.”
This is the spirit master Anisida.
Although I explained it very briefly, he was one of the most renowned spirit masters on this continent.
‘They say he was a great spirit master who left his mark on the history of the continent.’
There are more than five high-ranking spirits who have made contracts, and a contract has also been made with the Spirit King.
This Anisida was a great spirit master whose skills were so great that he could not be missed anywhere.
‘I’m quite old now, though.’
The deeper the mana, the deeper it would have become.
Ethan decided to first find out the effects of those Anisida items.
“Do you happen to know what the effects of those things are?”
“First of all, this bracelet… … .”
Anisida explained about the compensation.
The bracelet was an artifact that could store mana, and the ring had an effect that increased magical power.
The robe and necklace had resistance to various magics.
‘This is the best fit for me right now.’
“I will take the bracelet.”
Aside from the bracelet, there were no other items that Ethan could use. If he stored his mana in the bracelet, it would definitely be of great help someday.
-I received Anisida’s bracelet.
[Anisida’s Bracelet][S-Rank]
A bracelet used by the great spirit master Anisida. It can store mana and use it when needed.
Mana Storage: 1,000
It was indeed S-grade equipment.
Ethan accepted Anisida’s bracelet with a pleased face.
‘It was definitely worth it to clear the quest.’
“Now then, let me tell you about the treasure you’re looking for. It’s the lightning, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Just as the story was about to begin, the cave shook with a loud bang.
And soon after, someone walked in. Anisida frowned and raised her hand, but Ethan looked at her and gave her a look that told her not to worry.
“Did you find what you were looking for?”
Ethan smiled as he looked at Yeerika, whose clothes were covered in blood.
“I’m glad you weren’t hurt.”
Because it wasn’t her blood.
“I said that and sent Ethan away, but it would be embarrassing if he got hurt.”
She snapped her fingers and used her clean magic to clean the bloody clothes.
“But why did you come in without using clean magic?”
“I’m trying to add some color.”
She smiled brightly.
“Is he your colleague?”
“Yes, that’s right. He’s my escort.”
“Then I guess I can finish telling the story.”
At Ethan’s gesture, Yerikado also came inside the cage and began listening to Anisida’s story.
“This desolate valley was once a city. A city full of green… … .”
There was a city in front of this Titi Valley.
It was a city full of green, not as desolate as it is now, and was called Silk Valley.
“It was the land I ruled, Silk Valley.”
The master of Silk Valley was the spirit master Anisida before your eyes.
Anisida used her unique talents to turn Silk Valley into a city specializing in spirits, and many spirit masters gathered in Silk Valley.
As the spirits gathered, the area around Silk Valley began to take on an even more green hue under their influence.
That was the beginning of a disaster.
“Silk Valley grew larger and larger, and skilled spirit masters continued to flock there. But among the spirit masters who flocked there, there was one who could handle the spirits of darkness.”
The dark spirits were different from the normal spirits.
It was a spirit that was completely banished from the spirit world because it fed on life force.
“I was going to step forward. But I was short on two bodies because of the work at the estate and the influx of spirits… … My younger brother decided to take care of it instead.”
Anisida told her younger brother’s story.
After losing her parents at a young age, Anisida and her younger sister lived together, relying on each other.
Anisida, who was twelve years older than her, raised her younger sister almost like a parent.
Anisida’s younger sister always spared no effort to ease her brother’s burden.
-It’s a medicinal herb that’s good for your body!
As it turned out, it was an herb that caused stomachache.
-This will really help you, oppa. I bought this with four months’ salary?
The effect of the robe I bought with the salary I saved by holding back on my sister’s favorite snack was fake.
Still, the younger sister always wanted to help her older brother.
Because I thought my brother was always sacrificing himself for me.
“I told you it was okay now.”
Even after Anisida used her talent to become the lord of Silk Valley, her younger sister still wanted to help Anisida.
Knowing her feelings, Anisida entrusted the Dark Spirit’s construction to her.
“I wanted to lighten that burden on your mind.”
But things took a turn for the worst.
“My brother was chosen by a special lightning spirit. The spirit master who made a contract with the dark spirit had been after that from the beginning. He dyed my brother… … through the dark spirit and took the lightning spirit and passed it on to the spirit king.”
The Lightning Spirit King was furious.
As the god of thunder and king of all lightning spirits, he simply cursed them.
“My sister, who was cursed as it was… … started to run wild while holding the lightning that the lightning spirit had once given her as a gift. And in that rampage, Silk Valley was destroyed… … I tried to stop it, and ended up trapped like this.”
“It seems like your younger brother still had some sense left until then.”
“……okay.”
-I’m sorry, Oppa. I wanted to help you this time.
Anisida remembered her younger brother from back then.
After hearing the story, Yeorika’s eyes turned red.
Kwarung-!
Kwarrrrrrung-!
Just then, a lightning strike was heard from the forest outside the cave.
“It would be better to give up. I know you are a great person who can heal me. I also know that you seem to be skilled in swordsmanship. But… … it will be difficult to handle.”
Anisida spoke with a determined expression.
“And all of this… … is my problem to solve. I know I got involved, but it was my sister’s doing. As the older brother, I have to clean up everything.”
‘Normally, Anisida wouldn’t be this healthy.’
Even if you give him all kinds of health medicine, he doesn’t get better.
‘Since you haven’t recovered to a state where you can walk around like this, all I can give you is advice.’
Ethan had completed this quest several times, but had never once seen Anisida standing and moving.
Because of this, I had to complete this quest entirely on my own. All Anisida could give me was advice.
‘Using the spirits to provide more help. That was about it.’
But now it’s different.
‘It’s because I drank an S-rank potion.’
Moreover, he cleared a quest with a three-day time limit in just 20 minutes, so it was safe to say that he had completely regained his health.
‘We could fight together.’
If you do that, you’ll be able to clear the quest much easier. If you can get help with his spirit magic, it won’t be hard to defeat the boss.
“I must take that treasure. And… … I must return this valley to its original state.”
“… …Why?”
“I am a descendant of the Goddess of the Moon. I came here thinking there would be a temple here, but there isn’t one, so this time I would like to build one myself.”
“Are you telling me to rebuild Silk Valley?”
“Don’t you know? There are still people who used to live in Silk Valley around here, living in a village. This is their hometown. A hometown they want to get back, but can’t.”
Ethan used the knowledge and information he had.
Since I had completed the quest several times, I was familiar with the detailed information.
“Let me help you.”
Ethan said.
“So that we can rebuild Silk Valley, so that we can stop my sister. Instead.”
Ethan took control of the quest.
“Please let me build a temple to the Goddess of the Moon here. And please help me gather followers for her.”
* * *
“I set out with curiosity, but even then I lost.”
Anisida spoke thus, and spoke of the powers of the spirits of lightning and darkness.
“That lightning is a sword. It is a sword and lightning. And that sword is filled with the power of the dark spirit, so no ordinary weapon can deal with it.”
He also said that his sister’s potential had run wild since she had been cursed and driven completely insane, and that it would be absolutely impossible to stop her through a head-on confrontation.
‘That’s right. In my current state, I absolutely cannot confront them head-on.’
When I cleared this quest before, I went there thoroughly prepared.
The Fallen Lightning Guardian is a boss with tremendous attack power. Therefore, you need armor, skills, or high stats that can withstand that attack power.
Armor with high lightning resistance was especially essential.
In addition, there had to be some way to block that powerful attack power in order to withstand the attack and clear the level.
‘Back then, my body wasn’t as weak as it is now. It wasn’t difficult to confront them head-on.’
Since I brought everything I needed, I was able to have a head-on confrontation.
But it was hard now.
In its current state, it is possible to die while using the Universal Wisdom.
‘But that doesn’t mean there’s no way.’
I’ve already thought of all the methods.
“Don’t worry. There is a way.”
Ethan said.
“No matter how strong the attack is, it is meaningless if it doesn’t reach.”
