Episode 83. Charitable,
greedy dust covered the aisle.
I stumbled back for a moment from the forced double cast.
Perhaps, with a little rest, the condition would improve quickly, but it was too soon to be relieved.
Fortunately, there was no damage on our side because the undead were pushed back before using Bone Exploration.
That’s why I immediately gave the order to attack Kyler.
Kwajik!
Quagga each.
As expected, Kyler was alive.
When the dust cleared a little, Kyler, who looked so miserable that he didn’t even know how he was alive, managed to block Nickel’s attack.
“Huh. ha. Big.”
After coughing up blood, Kyler raised his head and glared at me.
“It is not over yet.”
“I know.”
Kyler’s patterns and various phases that he has already experienced in the game.
We will probably enter the final phase soon.
Kwadeudeuk – Kwadeuk!
Unlike before, the shadows did not spread widely and only hovered around Kyler.
And the shadow, which only passively blocked the attacks of my undead, soon began to cling to Kyler’s body.
Kyler’s last phase.
It was in a state of shadow armor.
Kyler, who was in that state, directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, but it was quite difficult to deal with due to the body strengthened by the potion and the shadows surrounding him.
‘Even so, it’s just a wizard.’
I wasn’t confident in losing to a guy who didn’t learn how to fight systematically, but only believed in his physical ability. Rather, for me, this last phase was a pleasure.
“Huh. Aagh!”
Of course, when I saw that runaway mana, I didn’t think to be vigilant at all.
It’s just that I literally have no confidence in quality.
Kyler put aside my undead and only ran towards me in a straight line.
Contrary to the body that had become huge by wearing full-body armor with shadows, its speed was quite menacing.
Breaking love!
Nails made of shadows brushed through my body as if tearing them apart.
‘The compatibility is bad.’
It was a thought toward the opponent.
My skill is combat.
In such a rudimentary movement, he was able to reign as an overwhelming force.
No matter how great his physical ability was, every movement was read unless it was so strong that I couldn’t perceive it.
chain fluid.
Whiik!
Whoa – Whoo!
The shadow claws, like those of a monster, continued to swing, but they could not reach my body. Then, the opponent seemed to be impatient, and he showed more and more violent movements, but the more he did, the bigger his movements became easier to avoid.
“Why! Why can’t I reach you!”
The moment the other person spoke, there was a gap.
I didn’t miss my chance and stabbed my sword deeply.
‘The sword that changes.’
Same focus as when breaking through Grace’s shield before.
Together with him, he fused his flame magic while enduring that his head was spinning again.
hooked! Roaring!
The stabbed sword overcame the tremendous repulsive force and pierced the opponent’s shadow.
At the same time, the black flames created by the aura burned the surrounding shadows.
“Cheuk.”
Kyler struggled and swung his weapon-like hand at me, but Nickel and Timur, who had been watching, blocked his arms.
“die.”
Roaring!
With the feeling that mana was empty, the output of the flame was increased.
Then, along with the smell of something ripening, a terrible scream was heard.
“Keep it off!”
Enveloped in black flames, Kyler screamed in agony and struggled.
In the meantime, Ludo, who came up behind him, vigorously raised his huge greatsword and slashed it down.
Kkwaang- Kkwajik!
That was it.
It turned into a handful of blood under Ludo’s greatsword that passed me by a span.
No, it should be called ashes, not blood.
‘If it were another character, I wouldn’t have been able to win alone and would have struggled even in the final phase.’
After all, a necromancer who can eat everything by himself is a scam.
Besides, the true value of a necromancer was a large-scale war, not a skirmish like this, so I said that.
Confirming Kyler’s death, I reverse summoned the undead.
Come to think of it, the final phase ended so quickly that Kyler couldn’t even try to escape.
When the undead disappeared and looked at the place where Kyler was, there was something shining.
After digging through the charred corpse, I finally found the fragments of greed.
‘what. Didn’t you have it all by yourself?’
He had as many as four jewels.
It was no longer necessary to revisit Muriel later to investigate the whereabouts of greed.
‘In the game, I know that the assembly had greed, but now it seems that Kyler escaped and fled to the assembly.’
But now it has become non-existent.
After collecting all the sets of Greed, I took out the space expansion bag I had entrusted to Nickel and collected the Fragments of Greed.
A total of 5 jewels and a crown.
The color of the jewels was all the same, dark red, but rather than feeling dull, it seemed to dazzle people.
‘If I combine these, will it become a named class item?’
One concern is if I am not chosen as the owner after making it, but it was a waste not to make the greed that was gathered anyway.
‘Now I don’t bow down to any character.’
Believe in yourself and assemble greed.
When I brought the blood-colored jewel to the crown, it stuck to the empty spot as if attracted by a magnet.
As soon as all the jewels were attached to the crown, the black crown began to emit a strange pulse.
[Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 2 Greed for Charity]
[Constant Mana Absorption in Air]
[Mana Consumption +66% Power +200% when using Black Magic]
[Success Rate of All Magic Using Precious Metals +15%]
[Save Mana Function]
[When possessing an item, it is cursed. (Curse List: Greed Lethargy Wound Decay Decreased Energy)]
[Built-in skill ‘Melody of Greed’ ‘Charity’]
[Skill ‘Melody of Greed’: Hears hints of valuables that can be obtained around you.]
[Skill ‘Charity’ ‘: Overcoming the transcendent emotional state ‘greed.
‘
It didn’t matter if he was cursed when possessed, as long as he was recognized as the owner, there was no problem.
‘The question is, can I really become the owner?’
The original sin hidden within me reacted first to make such thoughts colorless.
[‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ detects ‘Charity Greed’.] [
‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 2 Charity Greed’ is subjugated to the host of ‘Pure Original Sin’.]
Pulse of Greed Stopped.
And the branches of original sin that had been hidden inside me came out and began to swallow up the crown of greed.
“Hey, what if you eat that?”
[‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ possesses Charity Greed temporarily.] [‘
Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ begins to grow.]
I am embarrassed by the original sin that suddenly swallowed the crown. It was embarrassing.
This was not the case with Nickel, but I still don’t know about the original sin.
Fortunately, it was the power gained from the growth of original sin.
Greed is also a temporary possession, so there is no need to worry too much.
‘It’s like a child who got a toy.’
The feeling of original sin was vaguely felt by me.
[‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ has finished growing.] [
‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ is linked with ‘Charity Greed’.] [Enhance basic
performance]
[Create additional skills]
Just like last time, growth was over quickly.
And the increased mana was noticeable.
However, due to the nature of the vessel, the entire body became a reservoir, and the entire body was overflowing with sticky energy.
‘There will be little worry about running out of mana in the future.’
We looked at the abilities of the grown Original Sin.
[Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin]
[Mana recovery increased by 222%―Indolent Greed]
[Mana response increased by 77%―Indolent Greed]
[Can use a special skill once every 6 days (Currently stored skill: Sloth Greed)]
[The quality of mana increases over time.]
[The quality of mana darkens over time.]
Nothing has changed much.
Performance was generally improved and Greed, which could be used as a special skill, was added.
‘If the original sin spits out again later, I’ll wear a crown and use special skills.’
Among the item skills attached to the crown itself, ‘Charity’ seemed to be a device that prevented the overflow of emotions caused by special skills. If I had a diligent sloth, it seemed that I might not have been suffocated to death even when I used the special skill sloth.
‘Still, I can’t use it carelessly. Aftereffects are a separate issue.’
The possibility of dying without being able to fight properly was gone, and the possibility of dying due to the aftereffects was all the same.
‘Because it’s better than nothing. I got an unexpected reward.’
I was just chasing after it to make sure it was organized, but I didn’t know that such a reward would wait.
Anyway, when I said it was a reward, I remembered Kyler’s hiding place in the back.
In the game, I missed Kyler, so I didn’t get a fragment of greed, but instead, I got a reward for defeating the boss in his hideout.
‘After all, a game is a game. I have to give you a reward for catching the boss.’
First of all, Kyler’s corpse, which was broken beyond recognition, was roughly arranged.
It would have been nice if it could have been summoned as an undead, but Kyler, who was burnt to a crisp, was damaged so badly that he couldn’t use it because Ludo took it down. It was a chance to get a magical undead, but it’s a little disappointing.
Now, as I ventured deeper into the lair for my reward, I noticed that something felt different.
‘It’s a little different from what I used to know, isn’t it?’
there was a lot of something
In the game, there were only a few items that players could take with them, but now there were various documents, books, and small research tools.
It felt like there were things that weren’t there and things that were there were gone, as the time of the visit was different.
I finally found it, so I looked around the hiding place and found an unexpected item.
‘Kyler’s Black Magic Book?’
* * *
A frozen land where pure white snow constantly churns.
A black carriage that did not match the scenery at all was driven slowly by a monster in the form of a horse.
Inside the wagon, which exudes an antique feel, but the bone ornaments hanging here and there add to the gloomy atmosphere, there was Hegel, who had been reading a book for a long time.
‘hmm?’
Hagel, who came out to find the sin in the north, took his eyes off the book he was reading due to the sudden energy of mana. Then he opened the carriage window and looked out into the blizzard.
The mountains of the northern border were faintly visible through the heavy snow.
What exists beyond that is the Rodelian Empire.
“What happened?”
A feeling I felt a while ago.
It meant the death of the subordinate he planted in the academy.
‘Chyler Schutzman. He wasn’t a guy who would die so easily.’
This was already the second time.
It was unusual for two people to die in such a short period of time, even though they had lived on this floor for quite some time.
‘Is the Holy Kingdom moving? Or coincidence?’
All in all, it was a headache because it happened while I was looking for a crime.
In particular, losing the spy planted in the academy was a huge loss.
‘Come to think of it, Kyler recently reported finding something related to greed.’
The more I thought about it, the more things seemed to go wrong, and my head pounded.
In the end, Hagel listened to the magic communicator installed in the carriage.
A connection sound was heard for a while, and soon the other party received a call.
―Heehee! Hello!
“Luna Pendragon.”
Hegel said to the maddening voice over the communicator.
“I have a request to you.”
