Episode 659. 30th floor of the Tower of Trials, ‘Yotleam Valley’ (2)
As the sun set, unusually shaped fireflies filled the surroundings.
Dazzling moonlight and the fresh scent of the forest.
The true nature of the valley, which still retains the beauty of nature, has been revealed.
Jinhyeok, who was the first to stand guard, sat down under a tree.
“Time has already passed so quickly.”
It’s been half a year since the Covenant prevented a huge disaster. It feels like ten years have passed. So many things have happened.
Jinhyuk took out the rewards he had received right after the battle with Unknown, one by one.
[The final reward for the first person to conquer the tower]
[Laurel of Honor]
Difficulty of acquisition: Limited to those who first conquered the tower
Mana Consumption: 1,000 per minute
Content: The Laurel of Honor can be used as the 8th crown, and by infusing magic into the Laurel leaves, you can create a new item that did not exist before. However, if you create a new item, its effect as a crown will disappear. Also, the ability of the created item cannot exceed 150% of the best item you currently have.
surely….
It’s a fraudulent reward.
There is a restriction that you can only challenge the 50th floor if you collect all 7 crowns. However, if you have this, it means that you can reach the 50th floor by collecting only 6 crowns.
In addition, when crafting items, you can create items that did not previously exist. Although there is a 150% limit, if it is a weapon with abilities approaching 150% of the First Blade, it will have power that is on a different level.
[Mask of the Unknown]
Difficulty of acquisition: Unmeasurable
Content: A mask used by those who have climbed up to the 50th floor of the tower. In addition to being permanently enchanted with magic such as voice modification and facial distortion, it also has an additional magic that increases basic stats by 20% when worn. Additionally, during each battle, you can randomly use one of the skills used by the Unknown.
[Billy the Kid’s Pistol – X Model]
Difficulty of acquisition: SS
Attack power 250,000
Durability: 1,100,000 / 2,370,000
Content: One of the pistols used by the legendary gunman, Billy the Kid. Its basic attack power is not high, but it can fire all existing bullets, and its attack power changes depending on which bullet is used.
In addition, I was able to obtain a large number of high-quality materials and magic stones.
‘My level has also increased by 27.’
You will gain experience points that can only be gained by defeating the highest level beings among the primordial gods, such as Azathoth, Shub-Niggurath, and Nyarlathotep.
Jinhyuk activated the personal stats window.

Unique Window: The Unique Window has too much content, so it is switched to the ‘collapsed’ state.
Unique Ability: The unique ability has too much content, so it is changed to ‘folded’ status.
Skill: The skill has too much content, so it is switched to the ‘folded’ state.
——————————————————
[Current magic power stat is ‘809’.]
All 81 stats were invested into magic power.
Because using laurel required a ridiculous amount of 1,000 per minute.
‘The total amount of magic power is currently around 40,000, so if we simply calculate it, it would mean that it can be used for around 40 minutes.’
Of course, in real combat, you would have to use a variety of unique skills and abilities, so the amount of magic power consumed would inevitably be much greater.
In other words.
This means that the importance of the magic power stat is increasing.
Jinhyuk closed his personal status window.
And this time, the great library where the abilities were stored was opened.
Woohoo!
[Calling ‘Memories of the World’.]
I thought about and studied various combinations and came up with the optimal combination formula. I was thinking about how to approach it to help me in my future strategies.
The conclusion is this.
[The unique spear ‘Seraphim’, the unique spear ‘Phase 2’, the unique spear ‘Final Genesis’, and the unique spear ‘Billy the Kid’ are fused!]
Control of subtle magical powers and the harmony of abilities with different characteristics.
Only when all of these fit together perfectly without a single error will you be able to obtain the perfect new skill.
Jinhyuk awakened all his senses.
The cells shook and responded to each and every ounce of magic.
1 minute, 2 minutes, and 3 minutes.
As time passed, beads of sweat formed on Jinhyuk’s forehead. Due to his extreme concentration, even the passage of time felt distant.
How much time has passed like that?
Just a little bit. Just a little bit more… .
My vision was gradually becoming blurry. I felt a dazed feeling weighing on my whole body due to the lack of oxygen.
We’re almost there. The end is in sight.
Jinhyuk held his breath for the last time and continued to use his magic.
now!
Woohoo!

A golden status window appeared before Jinhyeok’s eyes as he completed the final synchronization.
[Fusion was successful!]
[Unique window ‘Lawless of the Wilderness’]
Difficulty of acquisition: Unmeasurable
Content: The Ranger’s highest ability can raise the potential of all abilities and skills related to ‘guns’ by up to 300%. Just by mentioning a specific keyword related to guns, you can use each of the special skills, and the attack power at that time will vary depending on the user’s ability.
[The fused abilities are stored in the ‘World’s Memory’.]
……done!
Jinhyuk clenched his fist.
It was a close call, but fortunately I was able to obtain the ability I wanted. This will be a strong support even in the worst moments.
As for insurance, you have secured the best insurance.
‘It’s been so long since you’ve played, so maybe your skills have gotten rusty?’
I just happened to have a new gun from Unknown. I was just about to try out some light zeroing.
“… … .”
Jinhyuk’s senses caught something.
I noticed something watching me from between the bushes.
… … There is no sign of human presence.
Because it was so in tune with nature, if it weren’t for the senses of an old man honed to the extreme, I would never have noticed it.
‘Are you finally here?’
The spirits in the valley.
Due to the nature of the highly vigilant race, they try to determine our identity and purpose from a distance.
Most of them do not meet the spirits directly because they show an ugly side that seeks treasures or resources… .
‘I am different.’
Friendly and affectionate. I will definitely appeal to you that I am a friend of the spirits.
Jinhyuk opened the subspace.
And he called the slaves as softly as possible.
“Guys, the snacks are ready. Everyone, come out quickly.”
As a bonus, she had already put on an apron and taken out various sauces and magic stones.
The spirits came out one by one, drawn by the delicious smell.
“You all worked hard inside, right? Sit comfortably and eat something. If you don’t have enough, I’ll make some other snacks, so don’t worry about it. When I’m done, I’ll read you a fairy tale about your favorite fairy princess.”
“what?”
“Eh?”
“Master, are you crazy? Or have you been drinking?”
“Got it! This is a trap. Hand over our master, you wicked kidnapper!”
In an unexpected situation, the spirits jumped up and down on the spot.
Crispy.
A thick vein appeared on Jinhyuk’s forehead.
I want to turn that arrogant salamander into a grilled lizard right now, but I have to hold back.
Because there were a lot of eyes watching right next to me.
“Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. A kidnapper. I’m just doing what I usually do. If you don’t eat the snack, I’ll turn you into a sweet potato snack, so just do it properly and come over here, okay?”
Jinhyuk gathered up all his remaining patience, even his soul.
The eyes are smiling, but the mouth is not smiling.
The spirits instinctively sensed danger.
“Uh… uh!”
“let’s play together.”
“Thank you, warm host.”
“Hehehe.”
“Everyone be quiet. I have a headache.”
The spirits gathered together and made a campfire while playing around with the magic stone that Jinhyeok had made and showing off their skills.
On the surface, it is an incredibly peaceful and warm scene.
* * *
“Are they decent people?”
“Seeing him getting along so well with his fellow countrymen, I don’t think he’s a bad person.”
“Still, you have to be careful. Humans are a race that doesn’t care about the means and methods to achieve their goals.”
“Yeah. Somehow, the way those spirits are laughing seems a bit awkward. What should I say? It’s like they’re wearing masks.”
“Still, it seems worth talking to at least once.”
“I agree with that.”
The spirits hiding in the bushes each spoke a word.
Although opinions were divided, it was impossible to keep knowing the truth of each other forever.
A great danger had come to the valley, and the spirits alone could not overcome it.
at last.
“Eight! I’ll go.”
The largest fire spirit leapt from his seat.
It was a plump, two-horned salamander.
Gun gun gun.
“Ahem! Hey human!”
“huh?”
“Over here, over here!”
The salamander, who had arrived at Jinhyeok’s feet, waved both hands.
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned downward.
“Oh? What, there’s a spirit here?”
He pretended to be innocent and innocent while being a bit shy.
At the same time, he held Undine even tighter in his arms.
“Let go, let go, human.”
Undine struggled to escape from his embrace. Of course, that was nonsense.
Jinhyuk thoroughly restrained Undine with his hook-like grip.
There must be a reason why they use fragile and cute things like children and animals as slogans.
To break down the opponent’s guard.
And it is to extract the marrow of the opponent who is letting his guard down.
-no.
-stop!
-Please don’t come.
-I’m saying this for you.
The Spirit Special Forces of the Old Man Corporation shook their heads with eyes filled with sympathy. However, the Salamander, who had already let his guard down, was still looking at Jinhyeok.
“I see that you seem different from other evil people, so I would like to ask you one favor.”
“Please? To me?”
“Yes. Please help us, we will definitely pay the price.”
I think I’ll listen even if you don’t say it like that.
After building intimacy with the spirits, you must collect three hidden pieces.
Because that was the only way to conquer the Yotleam Canyon.
“We can’t ignore the plight of our precious little spirits. Even though my power is weak, I will do my best to help.”
“Oh, thank you. I’m so glad. I met such a kind-hearted person.”
“That’s right. That’s really fortunate. People like me aren’t that common.”
Jinhyuk held Salamander’s hand tightly.
With that the hidden quest is unlocked.
[I accept the spirits’ request.]
[You are given a clue to find the first hidden piece.]
Find out why ‘Rybolt’ has lost his mind and is destroying the spirits and the canyon, then help the Spirit King and the canyon regain peace.
Hint: You need to find the ‘Fragments of Light’.
The Spirit King of Light ‘Raybolt’
Just like the fire spirit Igni that we had previously faced, he was a great spirit at the top of an element. Due to his gentle personality, he was the most neutral of the spirit kings, but who would have thought that he would go around destroying the valley?
It was something that wouldn’t have happened without a major trigger.
“He suddenly became strange after the strange seedlings started growing.”
“A seedling?”
“Yeah. It’s a purple, twisted tree, and it’s causing the other trees around it to wither and twist. This valley is supposedly blessed by the spirits and is a place of abundance, but I still don’t quite understand it.”
According to the Salamander, the saplings that can be identified are extremely limited.
The most likely thing is… .
No way. Is that the sapling in Azathoth’s palace?
But, if you plant it outside the palace, it will never grow, right?
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
It was a quest that started off relatively lightheartedly, but things were going awry.
Fantasy, Games,
