Episode 274
274. Item seen for the first time
A feast of countless reward messages.
So many messages are posted in just one quick glance and skill.
‘It’s worth it. ‘I caught a dragon.’
It may seem excessive to some, but the opponent is a dragon.
The strongest boss monster that even a full-level player party can barely catch is the dragon.
In short, it means that it is a monster that is impossible to catch in the 17th round without reaching full level.
‘I was the first to catch it, so it’s natural that I would receive a lot of rewards.’
Ryumin scanned the reward message with familiar eyes.
These are all rewards that were already received in the last episode.
[Title – Dragon Slayer]
– Acquisition conditions: Obtained when you first kill a dragon.
-Effect: All stats double when dealing with dragons. Monsters are instinctively afraid.
Ryumin does not really need this title.
There is no need to catch a dragon in the future, so what use can you use the increased stats against the dragon race?
‘It might be easier to hunt monsters because they are instinctively afraid… … .’
A useless ability for Ryumin, who has no hunting to do in the future.
The same was true for the newly introduced runes.
[Rune of Memory]
-Effect: Never forget what you see once and remember everything.
Ryumin’s intelligence stat was already high, and his memory was unrivaled.
‘But even if they say it’s offered, how can I not take it?’
There was something else that Ryumin paid attention to other than the title and runes.
[Dragon Slayer’s Necklace]
– Category: Necklace
-Grade: God
-Effect: All stats +50, skill damage +50%, all attribute damage resistance +30%
-Durability: 20,000/20,000
– Restrictions on use: Master level or higher
-Description: A mark given only to the dragon slayer who first killed a dragon. Made from dragon claws.
‘I finally got it. God grade necklace.’
The effect was incredible, befitting the name God Grade.
‘The increase in stats and skill damage is good, but the increase in property damage resistance is quite significant.’
Even Ryumin can’t avoid all skills.
You never know what will happen if you hit a wide area skill in a boss battle.
‘In that case, this elemental resistance will be of great help.’
It was a satisfying harvest, but the rewards did not end there.
Condensed ether and even dragon scales, horns, and teeth.
Perhaps because the luck stat was high, quite a few other materials came out.
These were all ingredients whose purpose I didn’t know what to use.
‘Because I don’t know all the ingredients.’
The last time you used the Infinite Ingredient Pouch, didn’t you end up with a bunch of ingredients you didn’t know?
‘I don’t need any more condensed ether since I don’t have anything to make for God grade, and I don’t know what the dragon-related materials are used for… … .’
It was a daunting task, but the good news was that a design had emerged.
It was a design I had never seen before.
‘The energy of death? What is this?’
[Design: Energy of Death]
– Category: Consumables
-Description: An item with six combination formulas that can create an eternal grade energy of death. It is a good idea to prepare notes before use.
Ryumin’s eyes widened when he saw the information.
Because it was written that I could create a grade that I had never heard of before.
‘Eternal grade?’
I don’t know, but I was certain that it was a higher grade than the God grade.
Didn’t the description of Refined Ether say that it can make God grade or higher items?
‘Then the ingredients will most likely contain purified ether.’
Anyway, you have to make it.
At least you won’t suffer any losses.
‘Previously… … .’
Ryumin turned his head.
I have to deal with the 21 pairs of eyes looking at me burdensomely.
“To kill a dragon with one blow… … .”
“Wow, that’s amazing, you.”
“hey. Wouldn’t you like to work full-time for our mercenary group? “The compensation is generous.”
Ryumin shook his head as if there was nothing to worry about.
Because I have no intention of working for an NPC.
“There is no work. “Please give me compensation first.”
“Hmm, there’s nothing I can do if you don’t like it.”
After a while, the dragon subjugation reward was paid.
[You have completed the subjugation quest!]
[Experience +2.38%]
[Gold+100,000]
The reason I received it even though it was a meager reward was because I knew that if I did this, the mercenaries would leave.
“I gave you compensation, so let’s go.”
“I have work to do, so I’ll leave later.”
“okay? “Then come slowly.”
The mercenaries left the cave, leaving only Ryumin behind.
Although I’m left alone, if I go back the way I came, the warp plane appears, so there’s no problem getting back to the barracks.
‘Before that, combine the ingredients slowly.’
Ryumin used the design without delay.
The instructions said to be prepared to take notes, but you don’t need to.
Not only does it have high intelligence, but the memory rune will remember everything.
Slurp-
The scroll with the design on it disappeared, and golden text appeared before my eyes.
[‘Design: Energy of Death’ was used.]
[You can create the energy of death, an eternal grade item, using the following combination formula.]
<Combined formula>
[Main ingredients]
-Dragon scales
[Supplementary ingredients]
-Purified ether
-Condensed Ether
-Devil’s Pendant
-Devil’s Heart
-turbid energy
‘This… … ?’
Ryumin’s eyes lit up after checking the ingredients.
‘These are all the ingredients… … !’
As expected, the ingredients contain purified ether.
Additionally, Dragon’s Scale and Condensed Ether are items I just received.
‘The devil’s pendant is equipment I already had, and the devil’s heart and turbid energy are materials from the infinite material bag.’
In particular, I thought the heart and energy mentioned at the end were useless since it was my first time seeing them, but that wasn’t the case.
‘It turns out that it’s incredibly useful, right?’
Perhaps all the other new items found in the material bag can also be used to create the Eternal grade.
With a pounding heart, Ryumin placed all the ingredients in the combination window.
I happened to have the materials, but if I didn’t have the pattern, I wouldn’t have been able to make it on my own.
‘I didn’t even know the main material was dragon scale.’
Realizing once again the importance of the design, I pressed the combination button.
[Combining Eternal grade items.]
[The item is of high quality and takes time to make. Please be patient.]
[Combining ingredients… … .]
[Analyzing user’s soul… … .]
[Synchro tuning… … .]
Time was taken as unknown messages came to mind, but Ryumin was not impatient.
‘I told you the message. It takes a long time because it is a high-quality item.’
I waited with joy in anticipation that such an incredible item would come out, and the result was.
[Combination successful!]
[Created ‘Aura of Death’.]
An item came into the inventory.
[Aura of Death]
– Category: Armor
-Grade: Eternal
-Defense: 5,000
-Effect: All stats +200, all opponent’s stats classified as enemies reduced by 50%
-Durability: Infinite
-Restrictions on use: Black Scythe (soul bound)
-Description: A soul-binding item that exerts influence by overlaying the user’s soul, not the body. It cannot be transferred to another person. Can be applied in conjunction with other equipment items.
Ryumin, who was reading the item information with surprised eyes, paid attention to the last sentence.
‘Can it be worn in conjunction with other equipment? Then what about god level?’
Since it is classified as armor, you must disarm the black barding of Thanatos you are currently wearing and wear it.
but.
‘Wearing.’
When the item was worn with a command, the energy of death was attached without being removed.
There was no need to check the equipment window.
Because I immediately felt a change in my body.
Creeping – an unpleasant yet familiar energy flows from Ryumin’s whole body.
This is the effect of wearing the eternal item, the energy of death.
‘Isn’t this a joke?’
It is also fraudulent to wear it multiple times, but defense increases by 5,000 and all stats increase by 200.
Above all, you can use a debuff that reduces the stats of opponents classified as enemies by as much as 50%.
‘Does that mean that it doesn’t apply to those who are considered allies?’
Strictly speaking, this means that Ryumin can control whether or not to give a debuff to his opponent.
‘Good?’
A smile spread across Ryumin’s lips.
I got an item that exceeded my expectations.
‘If there is armor in the category, then there must be other categories, right?’
Weapons, helmets, gloves, shoes, etc.
It may be possible to make all parts.
‘I’ll need purified ether, so I can make another one.’
Of course, I need a pattern, but I don’t know where to get one right now.
First, all you have to do is try to come up with a combination assuming you have the ingredients.
‘It’s nothing short of hard work, but there’s nothing we can do about it.’
Ryumin uploaded the materials to the crafting window to try making other Eternal equipment without a blueprint.
It was natural to add refined ether to the supplementary ingredients, and the rest was filled with ingredients I had never seen before.
Brilliant brilliance, dazzling feathers of wings, essence of negativity, piercing gaze, etc.
They were all ingredients from an infinite bag of ingredients.
I worked hard to find a combination recipe by substituting dragon horns and teeth for the main ingredients.
[This is a combination that cannot be combined.]
[This is a combination that cannot be combined.]
[This is a combination that cannot be combined.]
[This is a combination that cannot be combined.]
… … … … … …
… … … …
… …
However, even after trying dozens or hundreds of times, they all failed and eventually forced Ryumin to give up.
‘I guess there must be ether condensed in the secondary ingredients… … .’
Purified ether and condensed ether.
Since these two are used, it is highly likely that they will be used in other Eternal equipment as well.
‘I’ll have to try the combination after the round is over. As a reward for this round, you will be given one condensed ether.’
Not just Ryumin, but everyone will be given it.
Then everyone will be able to wear god-level items.
Other god-grade materials will be easy to obtain.
‘I should focus on creating a higher Eternal grade than that.’
In the last 100th episode, I found out about a grade I had never seen before, even though I didn’t know the combination formula.
‘If the luck stat wasn’t this high, the design wouldn’t have come out.’
All of this is a result of accumulating transcendental stats while capturing the Archangel.
I regretted killing the archangels long ago, but I can’t turn back time that has already passed.
‘I can’t help it. I have no choice but to find out from now on.’
With those thoughts in mind, Ryumin turned and walked through the cave.
It wasn’t a bad feeling to learn about an area I didn’t know anything about.
Suddenly, I wondered if I needed to become stronger than I am now… … .
You never know.
‘The number one archangel may be stronger than you imagine.’
We will meet as soon as this round, or the next round, but we need to prepare for then.
We must become stronger.
But Ryumin didn’t have time for that.
Stop-
Because the meeting took place earlier than expected.
[I was waiting. Black scythe.]
Ryumin took a step forward and instinctively recognized it.
That guy blocking his path is the number one archangel.
