Episode 651
The cleanup of the 94th floor could be considered complete with the capture of the Ancient Monster, the biggest enemy of the 95th floor.
The eastern castle lord, who didn’t know it could be a variable, was taken care of by Merrymule and a group of crazy dragons, so all that was left was to purge the remaining eastern worshipers.
This battle ended with the northern and southern warriors, who suffered heavy losses and built up resentment, completely pushing out the worshipers.
A war in which the East and West were destroyed.
There was quite a bit of damage in the process, but the atmosphere was festive.
Because it was natural for everyone to celebrate a victorious war.
“there! “Let’s grill some more meat!”
“alcohol! “Bring out more alcohol!”
“Uh-hui. “I’ll do this, so go and have a drink!”
A party enjoyed by both the North and the South.
It wasn’t a banquet for nobles or anything, it was just setting up a tent and serving food, but no one complained.
They were already comrades in war, and they were united against the enemies of Ancient Monsters and Eastern Cultists.
Although they used to keep each other in check and fight…
‘It was said that the North and South were relatively friendly.’
There might have been a problem with distance as well.
Because the Dragon Mountain Range in the center blocks it, there would have been more friction with the eastern and western regions next to it.
This is also why the relationship between Adela and Gallias seemed quite close when I went to the south.
It seems like there was a personal relationship.
That too….
“For the united castle!”
“Celebrate the true heroes who overcome adversity!”
The two got married.
That’s why the flower petals were scattered all over the place, which didn’t fit the sweat-smelling area.
94th floor unification.
I was able to clear the quest set by Adela.
The method was different from what I had imagined, but as long as the results were good, it was okay.
“It’s really disgusting.”
In the distance, Adela and the one-armed Gallias can be seen enjoying the festival together on the platform.
The elixir must have been effective, as the severed arm became a little longer than the last time I saw it.
The wedding ceremony was simple, and even now, it is difficult to think of them as newlyweds dressed in attire.
Although he wore it a little more comfortably, he was wearing a claymore on his breastplate.
At least Gallias is a nobleman?
Perhaps because Adela had said something, he was proudly wearing a top.
Yes, people should wear decent clothes.
“Yes.”
“Why are you doing this again?”
For no reason, I tapped Deokchun on the nose for being grumpy.
With Gallias injured, the overall balance tilted towards the North.
There were some who said that it was because of that that Adela became the first owner of the Unification Fortress.
‘Rather than that, I feel like I avoided Gallias because it was annoying.’
I think it’s because I just want to be more comfortable.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t use his brain before, but he had a tendency to handle things haphazardly.
One way or another, I was glad that we were both satisfied.
“Evil Eye, you kept all your promises to me.”
“Are you enjoying it? Look and see. “He’s grown about half a span longer!”
Adela and Gallias approach where I am.
The guy who was swinging his stubby arms got hit in the back and twisted his body.
What is the sight that I have seen many times in this tower?
He glanced at Gallias with pitiful eyes and then nodded.
“It’s time for you to keep your promise.”
“Of course.”
Adela turns her back.
I told them to follow me, and in a noisy atmosphere, I entered a particularly large and sturdy tent.
[Fortress Unification – Sudden Quest (Clear)]
It is time to receive the quest reward.
The box she took out.
It was rough, but sturdy, and there was a heat that could be felt even though it was away.
The thing next to it is a bottle made of glass.
It had a dragon pattern embossed on it.
“Dragon heart and dragon blood. “These are the ones I caught.”
“Thank you.”
I confirmed it after receiving the reward.
Personally, these are things I was quite looking forward to.
[The SSS level power, Eye that Watches Stars, is activated.]
-Tsuzuzutsu
Information on the item appears before my eyes.
[Dragon Heart (SSS)]
-Do you have something to say?
-This is the famous Dragon Heart!
-An item with powerful magical power!
-It is the best elixir and the best ingredient even if you just eat it.
-The possibilities are endless depending on how you use it!
An item whose level is SSS level.
As the saying goes, you can gain numerous abilities just by eating it.
If you look at the details, you will see that not only are the stats simple, but the body itself can be strengthened and built-in resistance skills can be obtained.
Needless to say, the magic power increases significantly, so if you sell it to hunters outside, you can sell it for a ridiculous price.
‘I don’t plan on doing that, though.’
It’s a waste to sell.
However, it’s a bit too much for me to eat.
Most of the resistance skills are beyond grade and the magic power is sufficient.
Unless it eats up magic power by a percentage rather than a certain number like Fog Rush, skills that eat up a lot of magic power like Fire Bomb can be used a lot.
‘There will be a lot of people who want it, so would it be better to use it as a means of transaction?’
There will definitely be a lot of interest in something like this, whether from people or NPCs.
I have a lot of points, but there are things you can’t buy with points, so bartering them isn’t a bad idea.
Alternatively, there is a way to process it to make equipment or something special.
‘Are you going to act crazy and turn it into a stupid item?’
It’s not for nothing that the term ‘Tempal’ exists.
If you can’t use it for yourself, it would be a good idea to strengthen your partner rather than being a slave you can trust.
I think you can do all kinds of different things by using the characteristics of Mangu, a ghost.
It was a sudden idea, but I thought it was pretty good so I decided to think about it seriously.
I don’t even know how to process dragon hearts yet.
Let’s skip this for now.
Next stuff.
[Dragon’s Blood (S)]
-Dragons bleed too!
-It goes without saying that it contains the energy of a dragon!
-It is said that sometimes there are people who drink blood and inherit dragon blood.
-It is also used as an ingredient in elixirs and potions!
When you say dragon blood, do you mean something like Dragonian?
I think it will be helpful to people who have polyp-related skills or powers.
Or you could make a potion.
With this, you can make a box of elixir.
“Hmm.”
I scratched my chin.
I know it’s good material.
“There’s no need to use it only for making elixirs or potions, right?”
I raised the corners of my mouth.
I had a good idea.
That’s it.
“There is one last item left.”
“yes. “I personally decided on the target to take away the skills from, so there will be no complaints.”
“of course.”
I wanted to catch the first Dragonian.
Adela faithfully listened to my request.
Although the situation was tense, it was also an unavoidable choice.
It didn’t make sense to attack other dragons at the time I formed a relationship with Merrymule, and it was disappointing to use it against regular dragon monsters.
It would have been better if it was a named monster.
“Dragonian is more than enough.”
As expected, this one was the best.
Adela laughed at my smile and handed me the skill book.
“Maybe because it’s an ancient monster, there was no proper explanation. It seems like there was a lot of confusion as it evolved in the second half. You’d better check it yourself. “I can’t open it.”
“you?”
“You’ll know when you see it. Personally, I recommend opening it in a place without people. “You don’t know what will happen to an object filled with chaos.”
As she said, there was no name written in the skill book.
Instead….
[Chaotic Skill Book (???)]
– Contains the skills of ancient monsters that have been awakened at the right opportunity.
-Chaos has engulfed you!
-Opening conditions: Chaos score of 500 or more.
-There may be no skill level.
Even just under the opening conditions, the chaos score is over 500 points.
The Chaos Box I had didn’t have this condition either.
Of course, the Chaos Box is an item that comes out when you catch a fragment of Chaos, so it is a rescue device whose owner has no choice but to have Chaos values.
‘Also, unlike the Chaos Box, this gives me skills I can use myself.’
At least there is no failure.
What’s more eye-catching is…
“There may be no skill level.”
“Sometimes there are such skills. It’s not ours. It’s a skill from another dimension called the other world. “I don’t know why something like that came out of him.”
“I think I get the idea.”
Because I already have otherworldly skills.
Examination and clearing of karma.
The former shows great power in battle.
Clearing Karma has a long cooldown, but it can almost certainly kill the opponent.
Since the death suffered by Delverton, a fragment of chaos, is conveyed to the other person, a person stronger than Delverton may be able to withstand it.
‘Now that I think about it, I guess the cooldown has already passed.’
The biggest drawback to this skill is that it has a cooldown of 9 months…?
“what. “Why is this like this?”
[Clearing Karma]
– Available.
-Cooldown: 4 months
-You are affected by Chaos.
The cooldown was cut in half.
Is this also an effect of chaos?
I knew it had the power to break rules, but I had no idea it would also have an effect on other world skills.
I think it was probably because I went up to the 90th floor and caught the fragments of chaos and ancient monsters.
From the point where it exceeded a certain level, the chaos level grew at its own pace.
In particular, if he caught an opponent who was confused, he would get excited and take it away.
It’s a bit uncomfortable, but it’s a good thing.
Anyway, I plan to do the box gang separately.
As Adela said, it was better to be careful when chaos arose.
“I got everything I deserved.”
“Are you going to go up right away?”
“I guess that would be better. “You’ll need time to clean up here too.”
“We plan to start by restoring the fortress. “It is also necessary to build a connecting route between fortresses in each region.”
“Wouldn’t it be better if we could pass through the Dragon Mountains?”
“That would be impossible.”
“I guess they have a dirty personality and won’t stay still?”
Adela and Gallias question my words.
That’s usually the case.
But…
“Before I go, I wanted to give you a gift. “Don’t forget my request.”
If I do it, it’s a little different.
There’s something I can get from him.
As a bonus, I have a favor to ask them.
The request is to look at the convenience of the Peujing alliance that will come up later.
Although they are not the rulers of the 94th floor, it is undeniable that they exert a strong influence.
“Then just leave.”
came out of the tent.
Saying hello to those who welcome me.
“Are you leaving now?”
“yes. “You had a lot of trouble.”
“Kkueh.”
I also said goodbye to Mirva.
This guy got caught by me and unintentionally suffered a lot.
“What is this?”
“gift.”
I gave him the blood I got from killing the dragon named monster.
I didn’t know what to use it for, so I left it alone, but when I heard about it, I heard that the blood and meat of higher-ranking species are good for dragon species.
“The wyvern will like it.”
“Oh oh! It’s like health food! “Thank you.”
What am I thankful for?
Next, I met Jae-kyung Park.
It was clear that he also had to move up.
“Looks like you’re ready.”
“Are you planning on going up too?”
I called out to the guy in front of the portal who was getting ready to go up.
It is true that I have a connection with this guy.
But if you ask me if it’s completely mine, I don’t know.
Because he is a person with very strong beliefs.
Still, maybe we can be friends.
If possible, a friend who can help others too.
“Do you want to join the Peujing Union?”
“Oh there. I know where it is. “I wasn’t really interested.”
“come in. “I’m there and other people aren’t too bad.”
Although it is strange.
I swallowed back my words and took out the dragon blood I got as a quest reward from my pocket and threw it away.
A guy who takes it coolly.
“Aren’t you curious what blood made from dragon blood would be like?”
“Oooooh! “This precious thing!”
“It’s a gift, so take it. “Think about what I said.”
“Hmm, you’re trying to win favor with something like this.”
Park Jae-kyung, with his face crumpled, tapped my shoulder.
“You saw it very well!”
“The teacher and the disciple.”
I burst out laughing.
Come to think of it, when I was learning cooking skills, I learned it by bribing this guy’s teacher with alcohol.
Both teacher and student were the same.
* * *
Dragon Mountains.
The center of the 94th floor and where the ruler, Merrymule, is located.
At the end of the Night of the Dragon, the dragons who had regained their senses returned to their respective nests and focused on recovery, so the only ones left were me and Merrymule.
“Hmm, that’s the end of the calculation.”
“It’s unfortunate, but it’s not that bad.”
“You damn bastard. How dare you ask a dragon how to process a dragon heart?”
“Uh huh. Delivered directly from the place of origin! “Experts are experts!”
“Who in the world would become an expert in making things with their own heart?”
“But you knew.”
“That…”
I chuckled as I looked at the guy who closed his mouth in disapproval.
The reward received through Lilka’s quest was simple.
Artifact and dragon heart processing method to replace the weight bracelet.
Even dragon scales and horn teeth are now nearly impossible to obtain.
I also noticed the treasures he had, but…
‘It’s not worth getting those things here.’
It’s something you can get if you decide to get it.
Lilka Flower and Bird Kingdom to Framberg Dimension Merchants.
If there is something I really want to get, I can buy it.
On the other hand, the number of dragons within the tower is extremely small, and obtaining by-products is extremely difficult.
So these are the things I took.
In addition, they requested a friendly attitude toward the Peujing Alliance and the opening of part of the Dragon Mountain Range that connects each fortress.
“It would have been easier if I had taken the treasure with me.”
“If you give it to me, I will take it.”
“That’s what it says!”
“I know. “It’s a joke, but you’re angry.”
“I guess that’s the way you and Lilka are all merchants.”
Tsk. Merrymule clucks her tongue and lifts her chin.
The portal is open.
It was dragged here to the location of the portal that opened after clearing the 94th floor.
I didn’t feel like going to the portal again, so I told him and he did it.
It’s disgusting to look at, so it may be an order telling guests to leave quickly.
“Goodbye.”
I waved my hand lightly and headed toward the portal.
The reason why I get rewards here, recruit Jaekyung Park, and get materials to make weapons.
‘There is Platinum level on the 95th floor.’
It was to deal with this guy.
[Entering the 95th floor.]
–
A space that resonates with light.
Not long after, I felt my feet touch the ground.
“Are you here, sir?”
“…Seagull?”
The first thing that welcomes me is the tower’s post office.
It was a seagull belonging to the Seagulls.
