Chapter 80 First Doctrine
I couldn’t help but admire the numerous holy relics placed on the wall.
A more beautiful sight than any other murals or art galleries.
The sight of each one showing off their own figure while sprinkling the holy light was something that anyone would be mesmerized by.
Even if there is greed and a desire to become strong inside, no one will blame it.
That’s because the things called holy relics were great.
[Frozen Harmony (A)]
-Tattoo Artifact
-Ice Armor can be used.
-Defense increases according to the caster’s divine power and magical power.
[Sign of Blaze (A)]
-Stigmatizes the unquenchable flame.
– It does not work on those who have received the protection of fire.
[Daker’s Helmet (AA)]
-Daker’s helmet, who served as a paladin in the Temple of Ice and Fire.
-His divine power remains.
-Afraid of undead below 3 stars.
-Additional damage when attacking the undead.
I don’t know others, but I can see it.
What kind of thing is called a holy relic?
At first glance, it’s an A-grade item.
Some B-level items were also seen, but they had effects or merits that exceeded the grade, and AA-level and occasionally AAA-level equipment were also seen.
Literally a treasure trove.
After staring at the wall in silence for a while, I became suspicious.
‘I’m sure I was the first discoverer, but what are those places?’
I was distracted by the numerous holy relics and didn’t notice it, but there was an empty space on the wall.
Not many. About 3?
I don’t know if it didn’t exist or if it disappeared, but I was a bit concerned.
“That.”
There was something in one of them.
Compared to the others, it was inconspicuous and did not emit divine power, so I did not know that it was.
[Sword Blade of Frost Flame Sword (A)]
-Has the energy of fire.
– Only the sword remains and cannot exert most of its power.
I woke up.
Frostfire Sword. What I have is not perfect.
It was just a moderately refurbished item.
‘It’s the same as the one I saw on the 15th floor.’
The illusion seen after clearing the hidden quest.
The sword the woman who was there was holding was like that.
One side is a pure white sword, and the other side is a blue sword.
On the other hand, the sword I am holding is taking the place of an ordinary iron sword.
– Woo-woo-woo!
Did you recognize your mate? The frost fire sword vibrated intensely.
Brilliant bursts of light.
Divine power that had not been felt before came out.
-As
if responding to it, the sword body on the wall also vibrated.
this made it clear
A bet with Rilka. The reason why the luck stat occurred when you saw the frost fire sword.
It was because the sword could be completed through the ruins.
I looked away.
It’s true that I have my eyes on the holy relic, but I’m not the only one here.
“You are the first to come with a holy relic.”
A huge being standing in front of me.
The guardian guarding the holy relic looked down on me.
[Magnarok]
– Judge of the Temple of Ice and Fire
– A system driven by the church’s will
– Magnarok is like the whole of the church.
-God’s will dwells in it.
– Indestructible
-???
Even just looking at the grade description is bloody.
totality of the church.
Indestructible option.
Grades are not even verified.
I’ve only seen this happen twice.
The NPC and Sealed Dalkhan’s original rank.
Information about the 5-star monster, Hwagapryong, has also surfaced.
“This is the altar of ice and fire. A place where those who will become the pillars of the church are selected.”
When I didn’t get an answer, Magnarok continued.
The legs were in the form of a body that could be seen from the ground, but since the size is so large, it is not a joke to feel intimidated.
What tasks should I do?
I listened to Magnarok’s words.
“You will practice the doctrines of the Order. Previously.”
-Paaah,
at his gesture, the showcase of the holy relics that had been blocked by divine power was opened.
Things that are more visible.
“As you have already checked the basic qualities through the previous assignments, choose the sacred object you want to acquire.”
“uh? really?”
He tilted his head at the unexpected words.
Of course, I thought I was choosing a holy relic after all the trials, but it seems that is not the case.
“If you do not receive my approval, you cannot use the holy relic. It’s just a brief experience. It’s not something you can get.”
I shook my head.
It seems to be borrowed for a while.
In other words, if you don’t have a holy relic, you’ll be given an ordeal that’s difficult to clear.
I had already decided which one to choose, so I didn’t have time to think about it.
“That one chooses the Frost Flame Blade.”
“That’s the right choice.”
Confirming my gesture, Magnarok snapped his fingers, and the sword body stuck in the corner floated and flew towards me.
A frost fire sword that starts to resonate with him.
The relics that found a mate began to attract each other.
– Woo-woo-woo!
Even the treasure bag began to show changes.
The pouch automatically opened and two jewels came out.
[The Essence of Fire merges the Frost Flame Sword.]
[The Essence of Ice combines the Frost Flame Sword.]
They were obtained on the 15th floor.
why did i see it now
The frost fire sword had grooves.
A groove the size of a fingernail on both sides.
Now I see, this is where the jewels go.
sword and swordsman.
two jewels.
Things with the energy of ice and fire come together and emit a brilliant light.
-Kudeuk! Kuduk!
The attached piece of metal fell off, and the blue sword body took its place.
The jewels were seated in the grooves that had been dug, and powerful divine powers attracted and fixed them together.
Divine power that gradually becomes stronger.
A cool yet warm wind blew and wrapped around the body, and soon, when the vibration reached its peak…
[The frost flame sword becomes complete!]
[Restores its original form!]
A holy sword in itself has a sense of presence. showed off
A sword with a mysterious atmosphere.
“wow.”
“To that.”
I couldn’t help but admire it sincerely.
It was grade A even though it was in an incomplete state.
Now that you are complete?
[Frost Flame Sword (S)]
-Holy Relic of the Temple of Ice and Fire
-It is a treasure that symbolizes the unity of the two gods.
-Has cold and fire.
-Has strong divine power.
It became an S-class weapon.
Surprisingly, this is the information that is revealed on the outside.
There was more hidden information.
[Frost Flame Sword (S)]
– Has strong resistance to fire and cold.
– Connect with the pillars of another denomination.
– Self-healing possible. Users can also recover.
-God bless you.
additional options.
I don’t know exactly what it means to connect with the pillars of the church.
Judging from Magnarok’s words, it seems that the paladins who have overcome all trials are called the pillars of the church.
‘Is it making some kind of connection?’
This is something you can do later.
I grabbed my sword. I feel my strength rise.
The performance of the sword itself is also performance, but the stats also go up a lot.
Should I literally say it’s a piece of equipment?
If there is one thing you regret.
[The relic will be sealed if it is not recognized by Magnarok.]
[Trial in progress]
[The relic is temporarily activated.]
This condition.
So far, the seal has not been completely unlocked.
Does not matter. Because it will be mine anyway.
“Are you ready?”
As I swung my sword a few times to get used to it, Magnarok asked.
not even kind You can also wait until you are ready.
“Oh, I’m ready.”
He swung his sword around and took a stance, then nodded.
I know it when I swing it myself.
I covet this sword, I take it.
“Then let the ordeal begin.”
Magnarok built a colossus.
Waist upright.
His huge hand spread out, and divine power burst out.
-Kurrrrr!
Part of the arm collapses and rocks fall down.
All of them are gigantic and imbued with divine power.
they stick together
legs, torso, arms, head.
The rough cross section is trimmed, and an eerie light hangs over the smooth body.
[Phalanx Guardian]
– The alter ego of Magnarok, the judge of the Church of Ice and Fire.
-The grade goes up according to Magnarok’s will.
-Current 3-star
size approximately 4 meters.
The guardians I had seen so far were so big that they didn’t look so threatening.
The same goes for the 3-star information.
what are you going to do with this
I kept the tension as much as I didn’t know.
Basic to explore.
‘Like other Guardians, it must have the ability to regenerate… Do they spit fire or cold?’
It seems that the body is agile and the movement is fast.
I’m not sure about the durability, but it looks pretty solid on the outside.
That’s what’s bothering me
“A lightsaber?”
The sword he is holding is unusual.
Even the handle was ordinary, but the blade rising above was light, not iron or stone.
No, isn’t the Church of Ice and Fire supposed to hold a fire or ice sword?
Is that because it’s divine power, so it doesn’t matter?
I’ve been rolling my head, but I think I’ll know the details only when I bump into them. -Magnarok
, who created the
alter ego of Guggug, radiated red eyes.
“I will test your qualifications.”
He slowly raises his hand.
“The Cult of Ice and Fire has three doctrines.”
Then, divine magic was spread and a shield was formed to protect the altar.
“The first thing is to protect the precious things. What is the most precious thing to you?”
A halo of light enveloped me along with his question.
Waves of light swaying as if exploring.
It wasn’t aggressive, but the sensation of sweeping the whole body wasn’t pleasant.
If you don’t tell me, you must have been willing to find out by force.
I couldn’t answer easily.
‘It’s the most precious thing.’
Was there
My parents are dead and I can’t even contact my close friends.
Because more than ten friends died during Cataclysm.
Those who survived were also busy looking for a way to live, and naturally drifted away.
In fact, the only human relationships left to me are those I made while living a social life.
If there were more, it was only community members and a few NPCs who climbed the tower and made a connection.
But if they ask me if I am the most precious to them.
‘I don’t know yet.’
Not sure.
then stuff?
Was there something I cherished?
I can’t remember anything. The house where memories of childhood were left collapsed, and naturally, the things from that time were buried somewhere in the ground.
Even after becoming an adult, there was nothing special.
“I’ve lived a drier life than I thought.”
There is nothing left, perhaps because all I did was lose and get hit by the world and roll.
It was a long, helpless and miserable life.
A life without power, background, or money.
A time when there were too many people like that.
The instinct to live remained and struggled, but I did not know where to turn.
Maybe that’s why he wanted to be called by the tower.
To climb the tower, become stronger, become a Hunter, and grab hold of things you didn’t have before.
To live like a human being in a goddamn world.
If there is something precious to me like that
…
huh?
Before he could open his mouth, Deokchun jumped out.
Magnarok seemed to be puzzled as well and pulled his head.
Is this frog ready to eat? Why is he doing this?
“Gww! to that.”
For a while, I was doubtful.
Deokchun stood up boldly and patted his chest.
Power that radiates out. A strong snort.
The corners of the mouth quiver in pride.
“Gegegegeg.”
The guy who wiped his nose once turned around nicely and pointed at himself with his thumb.
What is that expression like?
‘As expected, am I the most important?’
A look like this?
Looking at the brightly shining eyes, it seems that there is no doubt.
In an instant, Magnarok’s eyes met.
what. why. what.
why are you looking at me like that My frog says so.
“Well then. Deokchun is the most precious!”
“Geek!”
I stiffly raised my neck and shouted, and Deokchun ran to me with the same expression and hugged me.
okay. Climb up the tower and roll around together, but Deokchun is the best.
After all, isn’t he a friend who plays by his side, a benefactor who saved his life, and a glutton who eats well?
It is enough to become a valuable object.
Having made a firm decision, I glared at Magnarok.
“…okay. No problem.”
Magnarok scratched his brow and acknowledged it.
The halo of light that had been wandering around me had disappeared.
all that’s left now
“good night. let the test begin Fight back. To protect something precious.”
-thud! thud! thump! thump!
All I had to do was catch the Phalanx Guardian running over there.
