Episode 202
Before leaving, Jeonghoon took out the two boxes he had received as a reward.
– Unique~Legendary grade rune box (random)
– Unique~Legendary grade item box (random)
Reward received after defeating Lacandra.
‘It’s said to be legendary from the unique point of view, but in reality, it’s no different from a unique box.’
This is usually the case with probability items.
The probability of a lower grade appearing is over 95%, and the probability of a higher grade appearing is less than 5%.
If you open several at once, the chances of getting one are slim, if you’re lucky.
However, since there is only one, it is better to open it with the expectation that you will get a unique item rather than a legendary item.
Of course, Jeonghoon had no intention of just opening it.
[Potion of Absolute Luck]
-Type: Consumption
-Rank: Unique
– Greatly increases the probability of a 1st draw.
An absolute luck potion used in the past.
It is an expensive potion worth 30,000 achievement points per unit.
Jeonghoon quickly consumed the potion.
[Would you like to open the Unique~Legendary Grade Rune Box (random)?]
‘It’s opening.’
[You have acquired the Rune of Counterattack (Legendary).]
The corners of Jeonghoon’s mouth went up.
Who would have thought I’d get legendary rank right from the start?
It wasn’t even an item, it was a rune.
Runes can only be obtained up to Unique grade by any other means.
The reason is that obtaining a legendary grade rune is harder than picking stars from the sky.
I didn’t expect much since it’s strangely rare to get a lucky potion even if you drink it, but I didn’t expect it to come out like this.
‘The rune of counterattack… ‘
[Rune of Counterattack]
-Type: Rune
-Rank: Legendary
– Attack power increased by 5%
– Additional damage increased by 5%
-counterattack
As a legendary grade item, it had abilities that were incomparable to those of unique runes.
And the counterattack
[counterattack]
-The power to turn everything around
-When using a rune, all attack power is absorbed for 5 seconds and then returned as 45% damage.
At first glance, it seemed like a reflex-like ability.
“Are you okay?”
Only 45% of the damage can be returned because the reinforcement has not been completed.
I want to proceed with strengthening right away, but to strengthen the legendary rune, I need an item called ‘[Legendary] Rune Reinforcement Scroll’.
The scroll could not be purchased from the achievement shop, and it was not easy to strengthen because it dropped from random boxes with a low probability.
[Would you like to open the Unique~Legendary Grade Item Box (random)?]
Jeonghoon drank the absolute luck potion again and opened the box.
[Get the best rewards!]
Then, a message, not an item, appeared before my eyes.
“huh?”
Jeonghoon’s eyes widened.
Sometimes, when the best reward comes out of a box, a phrase like this appears before the item appears.
And when you touch the confirmation icon under the text, the item appears.
Jeonghoon touched the confirmation icon with trembling hands.
[You have acquired the Full Strength Reinforcement Scroll (Legendary).]
Full Strength Reinforcement Scroll.
This scroll will instantly upgrade any legendary item, including equipment and runes.
“This is crazy… … .”
It was an item that even Jeonghoon was seeing for the first time.
‘Legendary Reinforcement.’
I had a lot of legendary equipment, but I couldn’t fully upgrade any of them.
Because it’s that difficult, I never thought this would come out here.
[Oh! If I have that, will I become stronger?!]
‘That’s ridiculous! Write to me!’
Mukho and Anima looked at the scroll and began to appeal to themselves.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t write to you guys.”
When cold water was poured on them, Mukho and Anima became limp.
[What… …Why aren’t you writing to me?]
‘I acknowledge the master’s archery skills, but the archery skills shine even more when the equipment is good.’

Jeonghoon chuckled.
“I know that, but you can just strengthen them with legendary strengthening stones.”
Although I am not currently strengthening them due to my lack of skill proficiency in strengthening, I definitely plan on making Mukho and Anima fully strengthened.
The same was true for other equipment.
But the runes were different.
Scrolls are the only way to strengthen runes, but when will I ever get all the legendary scrolls?
Jeonghoon had already decided on how to use it as soon as the scroll appeared.
[Could it be that the rune I just got… …?]
‘ah…….’
There’s nothing I can do about it, even if I’m full of disappointment.
[Would you like to use the Full Strength Scroll (Legendary) on the Rune of Counterattack (Legendary)?]
[Once you choose, you cannot go back. Please choose carefully.]
Legendary Full-Strength Scroll.
Jeonghoon used the scroll without any hesitation.
Flash-
Then the scroll flashed and soaked in runes.
[Achievement Accomplished! Completed ‘Legendary Rune First Reinforcement Success’. 50,000 Achievement Points will be awarded.]
[Achievement Accomplished! Completed ‘First Full Upgrade of Legendary Rune’. 100,000 Achievement Points will be awarded.]
Okay.
[Rune of Counterattack (+20)]
-Type: Rune
-Rank: Legendary
-Attack power increased by 25%
– Additional damage increased by 25%
-Counterattack (+20)
This increases the counterattack damage from 45% to 110%.
‘Shall we go?’
Jeonghoon’s steps became lighter as he was very satisfied with the result.
* * *
Abnormal dungeon.
Finding the dungeon portal wasn’t easy.
This is because, unlike regular dungeons, abnormal dungeons do not have portals themselves.
In order to get to that abnormal dungeon, you had to find the exact location where the portal was hidden.
“Is it true that I don’t get a penalty if I clear an abnormal dungeon?”
“I guess so… … The question is where is it?”
It was frustrating because I wanted to challenge myself but didn’t know where it was.
‘Is this it?’
At that time, Jeong-Hoon was standing in front of a shopping mall.
The first floor was currently empty, and Jeong-Hoon forced open the closed door and came in.
An empty space with nothing in it.
But right here, an abnormal dungeon is hidden.
‘You said that the portal would react if you let magic flow through it?’
Finding the portal wasn’t difficult.
Sending out magical power from within the body near the portal.
As Jeonghoon stretched out his hand and channeled his magic power, a small portal appeared on the bare floor.
The portal slowly grew in size and soon became large enough to enter.
‘Okay.’
Jeonghoon entered the created portal.
[Lv.??? Would you like to enter the cradle of the devil Baal?]
[Difficulty is ‘hard’.]
I went from hell mode to hard mode.
I think this should be enough to clear it.
‘Enter.’
The vision in front of my eyes darkened for a moment and then brightened.
[Baal’s Cradle]
Baal’s cradle.
There were already close to 100 people in the cradle.
Users gathered from all over the world, not just Korea.
Among them, there was a familiar face.
‘Sa Jae-hyeok… … As expected, he’s here.’
Sword King Sa Jae-hyeok.
There was even an Ihwarang next to it.
If you found the dungeon portal so quickly, then you must have made a contract with a transcendent being.
Kwak-
My fist clenched unconsciously.
<You’re here.>
Just then Baal’s voice was heard.
Thanks to that, the anger that was intended to be directed at Sa Jae-hyeok was turned back towards Baal.
“……okay.”
<Hehe, then shall we start right away?>
Baal’s voice was slightly excited.
Because the long-awaited bet was about to begin.
“hey.”
At that time, Lee Hwa-rang approached Jeong-hun.
He kept a poker face, but to Jeong-hoon’s eyes, his face looked like he was holding back from tearing him to pieces at any moment.
“It hasn’t even been a year yet, and you broke your promise?”
Jeonghoon chuckled.
At that smile, Ihwarang’s face suddenly distorted.
“Shut up! Do you know who pushed me down from the ranks?”
“Don’t you know what you sow?”
If he hadn’t started a fight in the first place, Jeong-Hoon wouldn’t have touched him either.
I had to focus on growth and prioritize finishing the game.
I also considered finishing the game perfectly to be true revenge.
However, we dealt mercilessly with those who crossed the line.
It would be the same even if the New World were to become a reality.
“Don’t be ridiculous. If you had just quietly handed over the Red Dragon Bone Bow you took, none of this would have happened!”
“What’s wrong with saying something doesn’t exist?”
“This kid!”
Ihwarang tried to take out a bow from her inventory.
Then, Jeong-Hoon’s mood changed.
“If you pull that out, you die.”
“… … !”
Lee Hwa-rang shuddered.
‘What, what is it…?’
He quickly looked up Jeonghoon’s information.
“Crazy! Level 315?!”
The last time I saw it I was at level 203.
However, in less than a year, Jeonghoon’s level had grown by a whopping 112 levels, reaching level 315.
The difference between myself and 347 is only 32.
What this means is that if you rush in like this, you’ll end up dying a dog’s death.
“Do you want to try? Or do you want to just go away?”
Jeonghoon nodded.
“f*ck… … I will definitely kill you.”
Lee Hwa-rang ground her teeth and stepped back.
<The Demon Baal appears.>
At that moment, a crack opened in the air and red eyes appeared.
Those who entered the dungeon were instantly overwhelmed by the appearance of the giant red eyes.
The incarnations collapsed with their legs weakened, and they stammered, unable to speak properly.
‘It’s only natural, since the monarch has revealed himself.’
Even those eyes are not Baal’s body.
If the main body were to reveal itself, simply facing it would cause you to faint, and in severe cases, you would lose your life due to cardiac arrest.
<Tsk, this isn’t fun.>
Baal clicked his tongue once.
Then, a holographic window appeared before Jeong-Hoon’s eyes.
[1. The Devil’s Temptation]
– Hunt 100 demons spawned outside the cradle.
-Time limit: 120 minutes
-If you fail, you die.
The first task was to hunt demons.
There are four portals swirling in all directions in the cradle, and the goal is to defeat 100 demons on the other side of the portal within 120 minutes.
‘It’s a structure that makes it impossible to ride the bus.’
If the condition is to kill all demons, you can naturally pass the task by killing someone.
But Baal did not do so.
Each person was given a task and prevented from carrying out the condition.
[The Devil’s Deal is activated.]
[The difficulty of the task increases.]
Of course, Jeonghoon didn’t end with 100.
[1. The Devil’s Temptation]
– Hunt 200 demons spawned outside the cradle.
-Time limit: 120 minutes
-If you fail, you die.
‘Still, I’m glad it’s like this.’
A difficulty mode lowered by 2 levels from Hell Mode.
If it was hell mode, I would have told you to hunt 500.
200 in 2 hours was a decent number to try.
<Okay, then try to entertain me.>
The red pupils curved like crescent moons.
“You will regret it.”
Jeonghoon unfolded the Sky Scroll and escaped through the portal to the east.
[Barren Land]
Outside the cradle was a barren land.
There was a huge red moon in the sky, and the air was extremely cloudy.
Black smoke rising from between the cracked ground obscured the view, but it was not difficult to spot the demon.
Because countless red eyes were shining through the smoke.
[Lv.320 Advanced Demon]
A superior demon of Lv.320.
If it was Hell Mode, there would have been named demons lurking among the top-tier demons.
Because it was in hard mode, it was demoted to a higher level demon.
‘Let’s get started.’
Jeonghoon unfolded his Sky Scroll and began to slaughter the upper-level demons.
His fist was imbued with the energy of the Underworld.
