Great youkai (4)
<Level up! Mana increases by 1 and strength increases by 1.>
<Level up! Reflexes increase by 1.>

<Level up! Mana increases by 1 and mana sensitivity increases by 1!>
“Oh, it looks like the lock was released right away.”
I came to catch the Great Yokai to unlock level 99, but as soon as I defeated the Bulgari, my level went up. The procedure was much simpler than when raising the rank on Sky Island.
‘what. ‘If it’s comfortable, it’s better for me.’
After collecting the king of all ills, Jeongdo walked to the corpse of the Bulsaigi. The three-piece set of magic swords had completely destroyed the Bulgari, and Merlin’s Heaven’s Flame was still melting the Bulgari’s flesh. I wasn’t even completely close, but I could feel the burning heat.
“huh?”
However, even as the metal melted in the hot flames, there were parts that maintained their shape. After casting a heat resistance spell on himself, he walked towards him.
“This… “Is it nuclear?”
It was a little too small to be a heart. Considering his size, his heart must be bigger than his height. However, the lump of metal in front of him was only around his waist. The degree used observation towards the object.
Tiring!
<Essence of Invincibility>
<Grade: Myth>
<Bulgaris ingest metals. Most of the ingested metal is digested and used to increase size, but the energy of pure gold is refined and stored in the body. When the stored energy is concentrated beyond a certain level, it solidifies, and that is the essence of Bulgari. After being exposed to the spirit vein for over 1,000 years, its properties have become much stronger. Its strength as a metal is unparalleled, and it amplifies its energy by absorbing the properties of gold and fire.>
“and.”
Mythic level? Looking at the description, it seems like it’s an item used as an ingredient somewhere, but is it a myth? So, if you create an artifact using that essence, what grade will the artifact be?
<Hehe. This is a substance I have never seen before. I prided myself on knowing everything about the world, but it seems like I still lack something.>
<If it’s something that even Merlin doesn’t know about, it must be something unusual. Certainly, considering how powerful it is, it’s not that strange.>
Looking at the uproar between the Knights of the Round Table and the Archmage, it seems like things are things. It seemed like the next thing to do was decided. Jeong Do put the Essence of the Unkillable into his inventory.
It was then.
<You have succeeded in loading a high-ranking character.>
<Mana has increased by 4, strength has increased by 4, stamina has increased by 5, reflexes have increased by 6, and mana sensitivity has increased by 5.>
Lancelot, who had been loaded first, was finished loading and a status reward was given. Jeongdo was lost in thought for a moment.
‘The black level is a high level.’
When I first received the reward after loading Black, the phrase was clearly ‘highest level’, but now it has just changed to ‘higher level’. It was clear that his rank had risen after he achieved the feat of defeating the Bulgari. And because of that, even though I did the Black Road, the increase in my abilities was lower than before.
‘Then now I won’t be able to get any abilities even if I get a diamond grade.’
Or give just a little bit.
This is probably correct since the gold level did not give any more abilities the last time the level was raised. I didn’t think I would be able to receive diamond grade road rewards forever, but it was disappointing when it finally came.
Faaat.
And after the ability reward was given, a spinning wheel appeared as if waiting. The wheel was filled with Lancelot’s talents and skills. Jeongdo hurriedly loaded the album from the wire.
<Confucius. You call me often today. It’s a good thing.>
<Huh. Is it possible to call a person from another era? The Lord’s power has reached the universe. Hello?>
<Oh. Hello! My name is Yushen, the emperor of Shuhan… .>
While Yoo Seon and Merlin exchanged friendly greetings, Jeong Do was glaring at the wheel. Even as the two timeless figures were having a conversation, the wheel continued to spin without stopping.
“please. fence. please.”
The swordsmanship was the best, but the rest wasn’t bad either. As his main weapon was a spear, he was good at <Spear Skill – Lv.2>, and his talents in hand-to-hand combat and guarding were not bad either. Otherwise, he also had good skills.
‘As long as you don’t get hit by half a bone, you just need to do it.’
Unlike skills, not all talents are beneficial to the user. There were also talents that gave users both good and bad points. Talents like ‘Bangol’ and ‘Pork’ were such talents.
Swish. Swish. Swish.
The speed of the wheel gradually decreased and Jeong-do glared at the wheel.
and.
Tiring!
<You have acquired the talent <Handsome Man-lv.2>!>
“… Eck?”
<No! Jim has no body!>
Jeong Do looked blankly at the notification window, ignoring Yoo Seon’s scream. A handsome man? He is a talent I never had in mind. It’s better than traps like ‘Bangol’, but isn’t ‘Handsome’ the same thing that doesn’t help in battle? Since we are in a hostile relationship with a fearsome force like the Demon World, it would have been nice to have talents and skills related to combat shown.
“nice… greatness. “It’s not my intention, but I can’t help it.”
Of course, that didn’t mean I didn’t like it. Jeongdo is still a young man. It’s not that he lacks confidence in his appearance, but how could he refuse if someone offered to make him look more handsome?
‘But how does it apply if I win <Handsome Man> as a talent?’
Aren’t most faces born with it? Could it be that his face is gradually changing to become more handsome? This was something I couldn’t figure out right now.
And while Jeongdo was thinking about the handsome talent, another notification appeared.
<You have succeeded in loading a high-ranking character.>
<Mana has increased by 7, strength by 4, stamina by 3, reflexes by 5, and mana sensitivity by 8.>
This time, the reward came as Merlin’s load time ended. I consumed 20 status with Yuseon’s skill, but I still had more than enough to fill it. And this time too, the wheel appeared.
“Oh oh.”
2 spins in a row!
The talents and skills that Merlin possessed. A wheel filled with various magic-related skills and talents such as <Magic-lv.3>, <Foresight-lv.2>, and <Sage-lv.2> appeared. The wheel spun again quickly and stopped after a moment.
Tiring!
<You have acquired the skill <Battlefield Analysis>.>
“It’s battlefield analysis.”
I could guess what kind of skill it was. When he first loaded Merlin, he didn’t explain a single word to Merlin, but he immediately realized what the situation was and showed him the way. Perhaps this is the ability of <Battlefield Analysis>.

A skill that reads the surrounding environment and the path taken by mana to analyze the surrounding situation and suggest the optimal route. It was an excellent skill that was helpful regardless of whether it was a person-to-person battle or a large-scale battle.
<Faction <Knights of the Round Table> is semi-activated. From now on, you can select the <Knights of the Round Table> faction.>
<Current faction: <General Five Tigers>. All abilities +30. Special skill <General Five Tigers> can be used.>
<Only one faction can be activated. If you activate the <Knights of the Round Table> faction, the effect of the <Great General> faction will disappear. Once you change sides, you cannot change sides again for 24 hours.>
“ah. Come to think of it.”
With Lancelot and Merlin loaded, it seemed that the minimum conditions for ‘Jinyoung’ to be activated were met. I looked into the <Knights of the Round Table> faction information.
<Knights of the Round Table>
Collection Difficulty: Extreme.
Collection bonus: All abilities +45, special skill <Knight of the Round Table> acquired.
Current progress
<Arthur Pendragon>, <Merlin>, <Lancelot>, (Gawain), (Galahad), <Tristan>, <Mordred>, (Bedivere), (K), (Percival)…
<Fully activated when 7 or more of the Knights of the Round Table are collected.>
I heard that there were more than a dozen knights of the Round Table, but fortunately there was no need to collect all of them.
7 people.
The camp was activated by collecting only 7 of the Knights of the Round Table. Strictly speaking, Merlin was not a knight of the Round Table, but <Jinyoung> even included Merlin as a knight of the Round Table. Thanks to this, the camp was activated just by gathering two more people.
‘Maybe because there are seven of us, our abilities are better. I guess I’ll have to draw combinations more often in the future.’
If you combine the Knights of the Round Table and draw, you will soon be able to activate your faction. Jeongdo nodded and closed the status window.
‘Now all that’s left is to receive the next Black level reward?’
I gained many things, but the biggest reward I got from hunting this great monster was the opening of the next level after black. Since it wasn’t announced in the notification window, it seemed like Winry would appear in person and explain.
Jijijijik.
And as if waiting, signs of clearing the dungeon appeared. After wandering around the battlefield and taking everything I needed, I headed out of the dungeon.
* * * * * *
Outside the dungeon, the priestess and Serin were still waiting. At some point, the energy of the Bulgari emanating from the crack was no longer felt, showing that Jeong-do had successfully resealed the Bulsalis.
Now, as long as Jeong-do returns safely, there is nothing better. They looked anxiously at the dungeon crack.
Jijijijik.
“It’s okay, matriarch!”
As the dungeon was cleared, Jeongdo appeared. The women breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Jeong-do was out of the dungeon. And she ran straight to Jeong-do and examined his body.
“I’m glad you’re safe. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“I was slightly injured, but not at a life-threatening level.”
“Oh, I’m so glad. The Bulgari was successfully sealed again, so it should be fine for the next 100 years. Thank you so much.”
“It’ll be okay not for 100 years, but for a long time, right? Because the firefly is dead.”
“… yes?”
The priestess’s expression became bizarre after hearing those words.
The priestess said she could read the future, but she couldn’t read all the information. It was no wonder that she was surprised, as according to her common sense, it was impossible to defeat her Bulgari. Jeong Do laid down the essence of immortality in front of the priestess.
thud!
“I got it from his corpse.”
“this… “What is this?”
The priestess muttered like that and touched the essence of the Buddha. It was certain. It was definitely the essence that Bulgaris had accumulated over a long period of time. As Jeongdo said, the Bulgaris is definitely dead. She couldn’t believe it, so she endlessly stroked her essence.
Do-do watched her for a moment and asked her.
“Is there a craftsman who can process this?”
“It is the essence of Bulgari that has been cherished for over a thousand years. “It seems completely impossible with human power.”
‘I guess so.’
I wasn’t disappointed because I didn’t think there would be a human who could handle this. Even Ellie McDowell, considered the greatest craftsman on Earth, would find it difficult to handle this material. It was a problem she eventually had to resolve as a load herself.
‘Otherwise, discover the Dwarf’s treasure dungeon once more.’
As soon as Jeong Do saw the essence of the Bulgari, he thought of processing it and making armor. He didn’t need weapons since he was the king of all diseases, but he didn’t need armor. The armor he is wearing right now is a luxury armor that is recognized around the world, but it is only by Earth’s standards.
The world was changing rapidly, and secondary erosion would soon end. And stronger beings will invade Earth.
‘I can’t wear armor like this forever.’
In particular, it was clear that the fight against the demon world would be more difficult than imagined. Better equipment was needed. If possible, a level of armor that rivals that of the King of All Diseases!
Jeong Do asked the priestess.
“Do all great monsters have these things?”
“I am not totally sure… That’s highly likely. All great monsters are sealed in their spiritual veins. “It wouldn’t be strange at all for him to have inner dan or essence.”
“That’s right.”
The next destination seems to have been roughly decided.
He also removed the experience lock on the Earth and his level 99 lock. It could be said that all urgent fires were put out immediately. Of course, if a more powerful otherworldly entity attacks, it will be busy again, but before that, there is still time to spare. Now was the right time to obtain the right materials and create panacea-level armor.
“if. Do you know about other great youkai?”
“Currently in Korea… doesn’t exist. “The closest place would be Japan.”
Come to think of it, Winry said it too. It is said that great monsters exist in Japan. I already had to go back for a while to finish up some work at Mt. Fuji, so I figured I could just take care of it while I was on my way.
“Probably, Mr. Jeong has also heard of it. “Japan’s Great Yokai are more famous than Bulgasai.”
She swallowed her saliva once and then continued speaking.
“Yamata no Orochi. “It is an evil snake called Orochi for short.”
Next offering for armor.
In mythology, it was a giant snake with eight heads that terrified Japan.
