chapter 11
11 – The Knight King’s Circus
*
I was immersed in the aftertaste of staring at the blue sky through cracked dark clouds, but what woke me up was the numerous notification windows that popped up in front of my eyes.
[Dungeon: Cleared the Tomb of the Untalented Practitioner.]
[You have defeated a boss monster whose rating has been upgraded by two stages.]
[Rewards are further enhanced!]
My master taught me at the advanced level of Sword Expert, reached the highest level, and reached the level of Sword Master right before he died. The dungeon seems to have judged such a master as a boss monster with an upgraded grade.
Sometimes there are dungeons that have gimmicks that give extra rewards if you defeat them after growing a boss monster.
[Hidden Condition: Acquisition of the Eden-ryu sword technique has been achieved.]
[Rewards are further enhanced!]
“There was also a hidden condition..?”
Similarly, there were dungeons that gave additional rewards if hidden conditions were met.
I thought I knew most of the hidden conditions by re-challenging various dungeons, but I didn’t think that such things would exist in this dungeon.
‘No, who would think of learning swordsmanship in a wizard training game?’
It’s strange that you’re not crazy enough to try something like that.
This dungeon is cleared by another person if you don’t enter it 20 days before admission, so it was unreasonable to raise your specs and try various things.
[Reward: Acquire a secretary (hero) of reverse.]
[Reward: Obtain Ink Dragon Ring (Advanced)]X4
A book and four shackles fell in front of me. It seems to have been given from the basic reward, but first, I checked the information to see if the effect was the same as the object I got in the game.
[Secretary of Reverse Heaven (Hero): You can change the talent set by the sky. Your lowest-level talent plus your highest-level talent equals half of it.
Precautions▽
If there are several talents with the lowest number, one of them is randomly determined. Decimal places are discarded. Cannot move for 10 minutes when used.]
It was the same effect I knew.
Currently, my highest talent level is 11 for strength, sense, and health. My lowest talent level is 1 for magic power. That is, if I use the Secretary of the Reverse Sky, adding the two and dividing by 2 is 6, which is my magic talent.
Usually, it was a basic build to set magical talent to 11, and either strength or physical talent to 1, then make it 6 through the secretary of the reverse sky. I’m against it though.
As soon as I received all the rewards, the dungeon would disappear, so I decided to go home and use it.
[Mukryonghwan (Advanced): A training tool made only for penance.
Increased burden▽
The burden on the body can be increased up to 1.5 Times.
Weight increase▽
The weight of the ink dragon ring can be increased up to 200kg. (Applies only to the wearer’s body.)]
It is applied in multiplication, so if you wear 4 of them, you can increase the burden on your body up to 5 times, and you can train with up to 800kg hanging from your body.
I didn’t even have to worry about the floor collapsing because I took the weight entirely with my body as if ignoring the laws of physics.
Instead, as the floor does not share the weight, the burden on the body will be much greater, so you should avoid increasing the weight recklessly.
“But why are there no additional rewards yet?”
Thinking that way, the moment I removed the information about Yeokcheon’s secretary and Mukryonghwan, there was another notification window above. It seems that you have to choose one of several rewards.
[Choose a reward from the list below.]
[1. Skill Stone: Hellfire (Lv1)]
[2. Elixir: Mannyeonseolsam (Legend)]
[3. Artifact: King of Knights’ Circus (Legendary)]
So many rewards that it’s a pity that you can only choose one.
First of all, the skill stone was an item that allowed the knowledge and usage of a specific skill to be imprinted directly in the brain.
[Hellfire (Lv1): The highest level of elemental death magic. Summons the flames of hell that burn everything. The higher the proficiency, the higher the duration.]
Deceitful magic that burns away all shields and even melts the target, unless it is the highest level of divine shield.
Originally, the highest level of magic can only be learned by at least an S-class wizard, and even an S-class wizard can’t necessarily learn it, but the skill stone had the power to ignore such logic.
‘It doesn’t make sense to give this to the early stages…’
If I had been a wizard build, it would have been possible to skip all bosses in the early stages.
Of course, in order to use Hellfire for even 0.1 Seconds, you need to have at least 4.0 Magical power, but with a magical talent of 11 and taking a few elixirs, you can reach that level quickly, so there was no problem.
Next is the perennial snow ginseng.
‘This is my first time seeing this…’
I had the experience of obtaining the first-class elixir, Millennium Snow Ginseng, and handing it to Yu Yi Seol, but I had never seen Ever Snow Ginseng. I immediately checked the information.
[Perpetual Seolsam(萬年雪蔘)(Legend): An elixir containing negative energy that has matured for ten thousand years and has a very negative energy beyond ice crystal. A huge amount of mana is dormant, and when taken, you can acquire the characteristic: Extreme Negative Retardation (LvM).
Polar negative retardation (LvM)▽
You can learn all kinds of ice-type skills with a body that has the energy of extreme cold, and the growth speed and power of ice-type skills are doubled. Also, the poison cannot invade the body.
Decrease▽
When taken, strength and stamina decrease by 0.5 Due to negative energy.]
It was a crazy elixir that allowed you to acquire a huge amount of magic power when taken, and to obtain extreme negative retardation, which is considered the best among the ice types like Yuiseol’s.
The strength and stamina penalties are also at a level that wizards don’t have, so wouldn’t it be possible to raise them through exercise again? Low stats can be raised quickly.
If you think about what kind of potential Yuiseol with this characteristic shows, following the Hellfire skill stone, a really overbalanced item came out as a reward.
If I had been a wizard build, I would have spent a happy time contemplating which one to choose between skill stones and elixirs.
‘But I only have one option…’
Since all types of magic have penalties, Hellfire cannot even dream of it, and Eden-style swordsmanship is also a swordsmanship of non-attributes, so it’s too bad to choose ice caps based on magic power alone.
You may be able to learn or create ice-type swordsmanship in the future, but seeing that possibility, I’m choosing ice caps now? What kind of idiot would do something like that? There are degrees to John Ver.
I needed things that I could use right away since I had to deal with an irregular class A monster after admission. Because my potential is already not enough, it’s overflowing.
[King of Knight’s Circo (Legend): A surcoat that Edgar, the King of Knights, presented to his tomb in honor of his successor Eden. It is an object that has been with the King of Knights all his life and has various functions.
Stats▽
All stats +1
The momentum of the absolute ▽
Inflicts intimidation on all targets within a 100m radius. Power is proportional to strength stat. (Cooldown 1 hour)
One on one duel▽
Designate a target and drag it to a space where no one can interfere for 30 minutes. If one of them dies or 30 minutes pass, it returns to its original location. (Cooldown 1 day)
Sword swordsmanship▽
Can move up to 5 swords by itself for 10 minutes. The sword implements the user’s strength and swordsmanship proficiency by up to 30%. If you focus your consciousness on the sword and control it directly, it can be realized up to 60%. (Cooldown 6 hours)
Kun and god ▽
With the consent of the target, you can form a relationship with up to 5 people. They cannot betray each other until they agree to end their relationship with each other. The king shares 10% of his pure stats with his servants, and the ministers share 5% of his pure stats with the king.]
As if it wasn’t a legendary artifact for nothing, it has 5 effects that I can’t throw away.
Not to mention raising all stats one by one, a skill that can damage only the target you want in a wide range of 100m radius is bound to be useful in large-scale battles.
I think you can use one-on-one duels to catch enemies who are running away, or to catch the boss first when there are too many enemies around, and sword swordsmanship is a skill that can be used in all situations except for confined spaces.
The five swords that attack the enemy on their own without my attention will be very helpful in battle.
I can make up to 5 trustworthy allies who will never betray me, but even a minor stat bonus exists. Just looking at it makes me hungry.
“Choose the knight king’s servitor.”
In case you press it with your hand and choose another by mistake, an unfortunate accident may happen, so I said it in a voice.
After a while, the cloak at the place where Master’s remains were emitting light and turned into a silky glossy coat.
I was prepared that it might look very old-fashioned because it was said to have been used by the King of Knights, but it was designed that would not be too strange even if modern people wore it more than I thought.
I feel all my stats go up when I put on the coat like that.
[The Knight King’s Servcoat has been assigned.]
Legendary artifacts have the effect of being bound when worn, so they become completely mine until you give up ownership.
After the belonging was over, a portal opened in front of me and the dungeon began to collapse.
“Really… Thank you.”
I sincerely bowed to the place where Master’s remains were, and threw myself into the portal.
