_ Volume 18 Episode 22
447. A ring mixed with black and white (2)
A distinct presence is felt in the ring. The ego with a clear will appears.
Equipment with another self different from Bard Ray.
Taesan waited with a little anxiety and expectation.
Soon, a voice rang out.
[…How are you?]
It was the voice of a young woman. It was very
soft and gentle. For a moment, Taesan’s pulse was drained.
[Are you my owner?]
“Yes.”
[I see.]
Ring murmured softly.
[Confused…but I can see the situation. I am your property. I have to follow you as my master and protect you. Please tell me anything. Master.]
Fortunately, there seemed to be no major problems with the ego of the ring. It was a look that acknowledged him as the owner and followed him perfectly.
But apart from that, I had my doubts.
“Who are you?”
The ring’s voice was distinctly human. Human emotions were buried in every word.
No matter how I looked at it, I didn’t know who was newly created. A weapon with a perfect ego was something even Kosrun could not make. It couldn’t be said that Hafran made it.
[I am…]
The ring, which seemed to be struggling for a moment, continued.
[I was life]
“I don’t remember using life as a material.”
[But I was a living, breathing human being. I remember that clearly.]
There was a deep conviction in his voice.
Ring stuttered.
[I… trusted someone. I trusted and trusted him. I gave my life to him.]
“Who is he?”
[He was… he was… uh…]
Ring let out a moan as if his head hurt.
[I am… his faithful servant… standing by his side… an apostle…]
“Apostle?”
A material used to make the ring came to Taesan’s mind.
[The source of the Apostle]
[The core containing the source of the Apostle of God. It was materialized by a spirited spirit.]
The apostle of the forgotten goddess.
Taishan fought against the apostle on the 30th floor and won. As a reward, he obtained the source of the apostle.
And that material was used to make a ring.
The ego of the apostle he had defeated settled into the ring. It’s surprising that it was a woman, but come to think of it, he had never seen the apostle’s face. Only dark energy could be seen inside the armor.
Taesan looked at Hafran. Hafran
also had a puzzled face.
“It is impossible for a simple material to take over the ego of a piece of equipment. But… I don’t know if that’s an apostle again.”
“Is there a possibility?”
“The source of an apostle is the material containing the source of the apostle itself. I didn’t fully understand either. It’s not an ordinary material, so I can’t say there’s no possibility.”
At present, no explanation was possible except for that possibility. The ring slowly calmed his mind.
[Well… I don’t remember. My head is jumbled up. But one thing is for sure, you are my master.]
The ring said in a calm voice.
[I follow your will. Please tell me anything.]
“Hmm.”
Taesan looked at the ring.
That the being he killed was enshrined in the ring.
It was embarrassing, but as the ring said, he was the owner of the ring. There was no reason to feel rejected
.
“Then what can you do?”
[I have all the abilities that each ring had before becoming one. In addition, I am in sympathy with the master. It can become your shadow and add strength to your actions.]
“What exactly are you talking about?”
[You can increase the consumption value of your master’s mana and magic skills and maximize their efficiency and power
.]
Taesan immediately started experimenting. I used the frozen world for the dead world.
Then the ring shone.
It interfered with the magic being implemented and increased its power.
What a bummer!
The cold blows.
Taishan’s eyes shone.
As the ring said, its power increased noticeably. Although the consumption of mana increased,
it was not a problem compared to the power level.
“It’s significant.”
[And I can store the master’s power and use it when needed.]
“Memorize.”
Taesan put black magic into a ring as a test. Then, the ring accepted black magic without any burden.
Taesan gave the order to the ring. The stored black magic was implemented without any foreshadowing.
Koo Goo Goo!
“This is what it is.”
The pure white ring before making it into one could also store power. If so, nothing special.
‘I wonder if I can save the border line.’
Taesan made a boundary line and put it in a ring.
The boundary line nestled inside the ring without much resistance.
The unified ring could also store boundaries.
A large amount is impossible, but being able to express it immediately when needed
was a great advantage.
It was an effect that could have a big impact on the battle, although we had to check the specific usage.
In addition, the ring also grows by defeating enemies. It was said that the longer you handle it, the stronger it becomes.
‘What kind of equipment is this.’
Literally different levels. Ring asked quietly.
[Are you satisfied?]
“Enough.”
[I’m glad. As a tool, to be of help to the master. There is no greater happiness than that.]
said the ring mildly.
That answer reminded Taesan, who risked his life to fight, with a strange feeling.
Taesan asked the ring.
“Doesn’t anything come to mind about the being you believed in?”
It was unexpected, but it could be an opportunity.
A quest to restore the faith of the forgotten Goddess that Taishan has gained .
I had to find someone who remembered the goddess, but I couldn’t find him.
The ring was an apostle of the goddess. If she remembered the goddess, the quest might have been possible.
[…I don’t know.]
After a moment of silence, the ring spoke.
[It only comes to mind that it is very precious. I can’t remember more than that. If there is something, it seems to come to mind…]
Taesan showed Banji the javelin he had obtained.
The Arrow with Will is an item obtained from the realm of the Forgotten Goddess. Even though it was made into a javelin, the basic energy was consistent.
[…That’s a nostalgic feeling.]
The ring muttered in an emotional voice.
The ring, which looked at the javelin for a long time, suddenly spoke.
[Akasha.]
“What?”
[Akasha. That is my former name. It probably was
.]
“Is it Akasha?”
[More than that… I don’t know. Sorry.]
“No. That’s enough.”
Recalling one’s own name meant that the possibility of recalling memories of the goddess was sufficient. If you defeat the enemy and grow up, you can think of it someday.
“Can I call you Akasha? Please take good care of me.”
[All right. Master.]
[Is the story over now?]
Bard Ray quickly spoke to Akasha.
[I did something, it’s not bad. Please take good care of the same weapons. The lady who became a ring.]
[You are… a sword. Is it the Ego Sword?]
[No. I don’t move according to this guy’s orders. I am free.]
[A free sword? I do not know. But it belongs to a master like me. I look forward to seeing you in the future.]
[Well. It’s not my property.]
Bard Ray grumbled.
Akasha looked fierce for some reason.
Rather than being a ring, that seemed to be his original personality.
A rough check has been completed.
Taesan said to Hafran.
“I was satisfied enough.”
“If there is anything else you need, feel free to come. If I’m with you, I think I can make higher equipment.”
Hafran saw Taesan off with a satisfied face.
Taesan returned to the labyrinth.
“Now what?”
It’s not long before we return to Earth.
It was a time when I couldn’t clear a single floor. After thinking for a while, Taesan moved on.
He headed to the 78th floor. It was a book of all things. Jorge
,
the librarian there, reads
the book
just
like when we first met
.
“You came just fine. Einzhar was planning to find you. Go find it.”
Taesan nodded.
Jorge, who was about to ignore him and continue reading, suddenly raised his head.
His eyes were on Bard Ray.
Jorge frowned.
” Warrior?”
[hi. Jorge.]
“…Ego Sword? no. No.”
His bewildered eyes slowly sank.
“Am I reborn as a sword? With Kosrun, it’s not impossible. But death wouldn’t allow it… It wouldn’t matter much if it was the strength of the guy holding you.”
Jorge quickly figured out all the correct answers.
The interest faded from his eyes.
“Anyway, don’t die. I hope you will not regret that choice.”
[You don’t have to worry about that.]
[Hello?]
Akasha asked quietly.
[Who are you? Do you feel something familiar?]
“…you.”
There was bewilderment in Jorge’s voice.
“Who are you?”
[It belongs to the owner.]
“No. I can’t see anything from you What the hell are you…
“I don’t even know the librarian of the god of knowledge.”
It was no wonder that everyone had forgotten about it. Taesan explained roughly.
“…Did such a transcendental being exist? I don’t know.”
“If you had known, you wouldn’t have said you forgot in the first place.”
“It might be worth looking into.”
Taesan visited Einzhar. Upon arriving at the twenty-fourth secret room, Einzhar was at the entrance.
“Oh oh! Taesan!”
Einzhar, who discovered the great mountain, came running with a smile on his face.
“Come! my benefactor! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“You look quite happy.”
“It has no choice but to be!”
Einzhar patted Taesan on the shoulder.
“My Goddess. Master Levinenov has come to his senses!”
After the contamination was removed, Levinenov was losing his mind.
Einzhar had said to let the goddess wake up and talk about the rest, and
Taesan agreed.
And now Levinenov came to his senses.
“What would you do? Would you like to go see the goddess?”
” yes.”
Taesan nodded. Einz Har smiled and ran to the secret room.
“My Goddess! An honored guest has arrived!”
jump.
The door is open.
And there was Levinenov.
[You are a fallen goddess. I met Levinenov.]
“Oh my.”
A soft voice rang out.
It was a very gentle face. Just looking at it made my heart feel peaceful.
The black color on her breasts that had stained her had completely disappeared.
The goddess had completely resolved the contamination. Taesan knelt down.
“Congratulations. Mr. Levinenov.”
“It’s all thanks to you.”
Levinenov shook his head.
“And you don’t have to be polite to me. I am no longer a god.”
Levinenov raised his hand. It was a very white hand without a blemish.
But there was no more divinity felt there.
Levinenov had fallen. She was now mortal.
Level up with skill
