Episode 341 Master Sword
Jiying!
with a shattering halo of light.
Jaehyun arrived in a room that was all white.
A familiar space now.
It was a resting floor prepared to take a break every time you climbed each floor.
After a while, you will receive a reward for clearing the previous floor here.
Maybe this time, too, I’ll give you something useful.
‘Huh……’
Jaehyun, while sweeping his chest in relief, did not hide his happy expression.
It was natural.
So far, Yggdrasil has always given herself the best rewards.
Give climbers trials and rewards appropriate for their level of difficulty.
Because that’s the only rule of Yggdrasil.
‘In addition, I copied Odin’s mythical skills.’
Jaehyun laughed at that thought.
As difficult as the ordeal was, the reward this time was quite large.
He briefly opened the skill window.
What came to mind was, of course, Odin’s newly acquired skill.
[Active skill]
Name: Storm of madness
Rating: Myth
Creates a storm of madness and swallows everything in the nine worlds.
When activated, temporarily gives allies a ‘Passion’ buff.
*Consumes 20% of total horsepower per use.
*The power increases whenever the number of people caught in the storm increases.
*caution! The longer you hold it, the greater the consumption of magic power and the mana rebound, so special care is needed.
[Passive Skill]
Name: Passion
Rating: S+
Gives courage to all allies and puts them in a ‘passion’ state.
Increases attack power and active skill effects by 40%.
*This is a skill that is automatically activated when a maddening storm is active.
* Whenever the number of people receiving the buff increases, the caster’s body is strained.
* Effect amplification is limited for some skills.
Jaehyun instinctively realized that this skill was one of Odin’s Feasts.
First of all, it was the fact that 20% of the total horse power was consumed at once.
‘Recently, I’ve never experienced a lack of magical power. But… it’s a skill that consumes 20% of the total magic power with a single skill?’
This would be the same number applied to Odin.
This means that at least the power of the skill is unmatched by others.
For reference, in the radar system, there is a special move that consumes consumable goods such as horsepower or physical strength of the same percentage.
Usually only S-class radar can be used. It was a skill that brought out power several times greater than that of the user by sacrificing something of himself.
For example, instead of killing oneself like absolute zero, it was a season that allowed one to get along with the enemy with a low probability.
Those who had these skills could hardly be found, and most of them consumed their own life force, so the risk was enormous.
‘Even if it replenishes the mana… 20% of Odin’s mana is well over hundreds of thousands of times that of other S-class raiders.
If it’s a skill that he has to pay that much for and use, then it should be seen as a stronger season than anything else.’
At least the power of the Thunder God he possesses. It was certain that it was more than that.
After Jaehyun decided to check the power of the skill later, he shifted his gaze to the other side.
“The next one is this way…”
Next was the special effect of the skill.
There were two peculiarities there.
The more people caught in the first storm, the stronger it becomes.
This, needless to say, meant that this skill was effective as a wide-area skill.
Honest and accurate explanation. After testing, you will be able to know how to use the skill with more certainty.
Passive skill ‘Passion’ is activated when the second storm of madness is active.
After reading the effect carefully, Jaehyun was convinced that this was a fraudulent skill.
“To amplify both attack power and skill effects by 40%… isn’t it crazy?”
If this was a game, I would have nothing to say even if I was scolded for making a mistake in the balance patch.
Of course, there is a penalty that the burden on the user increases whenever the number of allies increases, but it was the best skill even after all that.
‘I’ll have to take a chance and test this one later.’
The test was difficult because we are currently attacking the tower. In order to know the exact power and range of the skill, you have to activate the skill several times, but the conditions for that are not ready.
Therefore, Jaehyun decided to postpone the use of the skill for a while.
“…ha. For now, you can safely break through to the third floor.”
“…huh. somehow.”
Seo In-na nodded in response to Jae-hyun’s words.
Ratatosque freaked out and grabbed Jaehyun’s crotch.
“Datadadada—from now on, please say something in advance and do it! Ji-I really thought I was going to die this time!”
“It was an epilogue anyway.”
“…No matter how liars this time, Ratatosque is right. Jaehyun, you often do dangerous things.”
When Seo Ina said that, Jaehyun smiled lightly.
“That’s the case with you too. pretend you forgot me Did I really almost cry?”
It wasn’t a lie.
Seo In-na pretended to smoke and averted her gaze for a moment.
she murmured softly.
“…That’s because you’re late… without me knowing…”
“Okay. sorry. It’s just something I’ve said, so don’t take it to heart.”
“…huh. You should do as little risky things as possible from now on.”
Seo Ina said that with a slightly flushed face.
In fact, it was natural for them to talk like that.
No matter how fragmentary it is, the Wardanaz that Jaehyun encountered was Odin.
A legendary god who guards the top of Asgard.
To suddenly run into such an existence…
This meant that he would die at any moment.
‘If it wasn’t for Odin’s lost eye, he would have died instantly there.’
Odin’s lost eye.
Paradoxically, this was the reason Jaehyun was able to survive when he encountered Odin.
A skill derived from Odin’s lost eye.
Had it not been for the power of ‘absolute arithmetic’, Jaehyun would have been swept away by the maddening storm as soon as it started.
“It must be that there is still a long way to go.”
When Jaehyun said that, Poppy flew onto Jaehyun’s shoulder and sat down, raising his feet. Seo Eana also stood by him and showed a firm smile.
“…But you can’t go alone now.”
At that, Jaehyun smiled.
at that time.
Suddenly, Seo Ina fidgeted for a while with a pod in her hand, then spoke.
“…You asked when I entered the 3rd floor earlier. You are going through emotional fluctuations, but why am I okay… The reason I said I’m fine… Do you think you understand a little bit now?”
She smiled.
It was brighter than any smile she had ever shown.
The most unpretentious smile.
Seeing that, Jaehyun couldn’t do anything other than nod.
A feeling that has yet to be answered.
As if a drop of paint had been dropped into the depths of his chest, it spread slowly and squeezed his chest.
Jaehyun made a promise.
One day I will sort out all of this.
And at that time, wouldn’t we be able to get closer to each other?
Not only to Seo Ina, but to all of her colleagues.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, good luck! This time Gigi—I really thought I was going to die!”
“okay. thanks for your help Ratatosk. I will trust you now.”
“G-g-g-then Joe-if you release the subordination a little-no-it won’t work! haha-.”
Jaehyun narrowed his eyes for a moment. His mouth was tightly shut.
‘That’s it. Because this is it.’
Leave no risk factor.
That was Jaehyun’s basic code of conduct.
“Now… then, is it finally time for compensation settlement?”
“okay. Then slowly.”
―The compensation settlement for the 3rd floor of the Spiral Tower of Yggdrasil begins.
Jaehyun crossed his arms.
“Shall we settle the reward?”
* * *
Outskirts of Asgard.
In an inn room on the other side of a remote slum, Tyr is seen suffering from a hangover.
He was distraught from having had a great time here last night.
Her clothes are disheveled and her upper body is barely covered with a gown, and traces of last night’s hot love affair remain everywhere.
There was a huge sword mark on his upper body that looked like it had been crossed by a greatsword. It was a wound that had suddenly formed during the battle at the time of the first Ragnarok in the past.
The ugly face of a drunk man.
It was a look that could not be thought of as a god of war and justice.
But then.
Suddenly, Tyr’s eyes suddenly open, and a voice flows from him.
“Hmm… I didn’t expect you to come find me.”
Along with his icy voice, a shapeless black figure began to sway from the long pure white curtains.
Eventually, it took the form of a person.
No, to be precise, there is a crow in it.
It would be more accurate to call it a monster in human form.
“Is that so.”
The owner of the voice heard was none other than Hugin.
He parted his lips as he watched Tyr rise from the bed.
“First, I would like to tell you one piece of news.”
“What do you mean by news?”
“The adversary has broken through the third level of the Spiral Tower of Yggdrasil.”
Tyr’s eyebrows twitched as he calmly adjusted his clothes and rose from his seat.
He paused for a moment and looked up at Hugin.
“…That’s kind of hard to hear.”
“I guess so.”
Tyr clicked his tongue and said.
“You talk like it’s someone else’s business.”
after. Tyr let out a short breath and stood up.
“so. Why did the great Odin’s raven visit me?”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
Hugin was so lucky.
Tyr said, spreading his arms as if to please.
“Ask anything. Odin’s raven.”
There was a moment of silence after that.
Tyr tilted his head. It was because he felt that Hugin’s behavior was strange somewhere.
I had a hunch that the question he would ask of himself would be trivial.
just as expected.
The story that followed after the silence was enough to disturb Tyr’s mind.
“Tir-sama, have you ever met an adversary? From 10,000 years ago in the past.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Tyr had no choice but to respond to his words.
It was unpleasant.
There was no way he could remember anything like a human being at most, and the opponent was a kid who had been born less than 20 years ago.
It means that even if it has gained a status, it is nothing more than slightly better trash.
Even more so, 10,000 years ago must be referring to the time when the first Ragnarok took place in the past.
At that time, I can’t remember the person I killed…
“He looks like this. At the time of the Red Gate, I was not in a hurry, so I brought it thinking that I couldn’t see the face properly.”
Hugin held out a picture of the enemy and said,
and that moment.
“uh?”
An embarrassed voice came out of Tyr’s mouth.
He couldn’t help but be genuinely perplexed.
‘What is this?’
I don’t know, but… Tyr was convinced.
He knows this person.
I also remembered seeing it at the time of Ragnarok 10,000 years ago.
After all, just like that damn crow said.
Even though it’s just a blurry fragment…
Tyr started to think over and over again to remind himself of the enemy called the enemy in his scattered mind. However, the memories continued to scatter.
In the sea of memories drifting in the form of fragments, he remained silent.
* * *
With system notes, the time for settlement of rewards has arrived.
Jaehyun listened quickly to the voice and confirmed the information.
What will TOP give to himself this time?
With a swollen heart, Jaehyun confirmed what he had newly acquired.
It wasn’t an artifact at all, as I thought.
―The 3rd tier clear reward is given.
―The Climber has cleared all 《The Dragon Slayer and the Song of Tragedy》.
―Receive the protection of Sigurd.
―The crafting level of the dragon slasher Balmung has increased by 1!
