How to overcome -3-
The jewel-like light ceased and the treasures were revealed.
The first one to come out was a heavy war hammer.
The hammer head was very large.
Almost the size of a child’s head.
His silver hair was covered in runes.
The body is made of wood, glossy and the handle is wrapped in rough leather.
I know what it is.
I knew what it was the moment I saw it.
Looking at me, who couldn’t take his eyes off me, Archbishop Thor of the Church said proudly.
“It’s Mjolnir.”
Mjolnir!
If you don’t know this, you’re a spy.
Of all the hammers in mythology, this is the most famous.
Of course, this isn’t the real Mjolnir that Thor uses.
That is implemented in Episode 9, when the Divine Raid opens with a Dimensional Rift.
In the first place, it’s something you can’t touch unless you reach level 9.
“I am honored. Can you give this to me?”
“This matter is highly regarded both by the Diocese of Aachen and the Grand Court of Stockholm. They are even offering us a piece of Mjolnir.”
No matter what anyone says, it’s an SSR grade hammer.
The trait it possesses is [Mjolnir].
It’s comparable to my silent sword.
However, since the attack power of the Mukho Sword is abnormally high, it is not suitable as a secondary weapon.
If [Holy Sword] is a composite of the three characteristics of [Lightning][Reinforcement][Protection], then [Mjolnir] can be said to be a reinforced version of the Holy Sword with [Lightning][Reinforcement][Protection][Recovery].
It can be seen as stronger against dark attribute monsters.
Just throw it away.
Throw and retrieve, throw and retrieve.
Then lightning will explode and blow up the monsters.
I picked up Mjolnir and stroked it once.
A powerful force already envelops my entire body.
A power on a different level from the Holy Sword of the Kim Sa-je Church that I used to carry around.
As expected, the SSR grades are different.
As I was holding Mjolnir and admiring it, the Archbishop of the Gaia Church pointed to the table.
“Please take a look at our church shield.”
If the Order of Thor gave Mjolnir, what did the Order of Gaia give?
I checked the treasure that appeared as the light faded.
An exclamation burst out of my mouth without my knowledge.
“oh my god!”
“Heh heh heh.”
The Archbishop of the Gaia Church smiled pleasantly.
The end of my gaze.
A palm-sized metal shield was floating in the air.
A translucent magical field surrounds it, distorting vision.
Aegis!
In Greek mythology, it is the shield worn by Athena, but for some reason, in Arcane Seoul, it is the property of the Gaia Cult.
The forms were varied, but the functions were simple.
Invincible shield.
Like the Holy Sword, it has a composite characteristic of [Aegis] and combines the characteristics of [Barrier], [Transformation], [Guardian], [Augmentation], and [Dampening].
It is incredibly strong and can freely transform magic fields, meaning it provides powerful buffs while also cushioning shock.
“Are you really giving it to me? Are you giving me Mjolnir and Aegis?”
“Of course. It’s not for nothing that we brought up the topic of poetry.”
“Your Majesty, you have done so much that you deserve to be canonized. We cannot do this to someone who is not even one of our believers, so we are replacing you with a treasure.”
“Surely you wouldn’t refuse this too, would you?”
Are you crazy?
Honestly, I would have been satisfied even if I had just received the SSR Holy Sword, or even the SR Holy Sword.
But Aegis on Mjolnir?
This is crazy.
If you can’t accept it, you’re an idiot, really.
I bowed 90 degrees toward the two archbishops.
“No way! I’ll gladly accept it. Honestly, it’s so overwhelming that I’m dumbfounded.”
“Hahaha. We are happy that you are happy.”
“The goddess will be pleased as well.”
It doesn’t end here.
The last treasure chest has been opened.
Pufufufu!
A treasure chest that bursts loudly and spits out its contents.
There were more than one or two.
They pour out endlessly and line up on the table as if by magic.

10 crystal vials containing starlight.
It’s an unbelievable sight.
Without realizing it, I opened my mouth wide and stared at the crystal bottle.
“First, ten bottles of nectar.”
Nectar!
That’s a whopping 10 bottles!
The Guardians’ League director said with a smirk.
“Originally, I was going to give you a high-level magic sword, but since you already have a good sword, I thought so too. Furthermore, I heard that the Thor Church has withdrawn Mjolnir… So after much thought, I decided to give you the item you need the most. That is nectar.”
“How did you know I needed nectar?”
“Of course I know. Since someone as fast-growing as Superman has learned a new magical power training method, isn’t nectar essential to become stronger? Not only for magical power growth, but also to overcome any potential barriers. Given Superman’s growth speed, I think the barrier will come much later.”
That’s wrong.
The wall, or limit to growth, comes quickly.
Kim Jeon-sa is N-class.
Level 4 is the growth limit, and nectar is essential to break through the limit.
‘You seem to know me at an SSR level.’
Well, that may be what other people think.
Because I’m growing stronger at a terrifying rate, almost to the point of breaking through the atmosphere.
But it didn’t end with 10 bottles of nectar.
It came with a very small magic box and a magic bottle.
When I saw the two, the Guardians’ League director made a meaningful expression.
“Nectar is definitely a precious commodity. I guarantee you that there is no other organization in the world that can give out ten bottles of nectar at once like our Federation.”
“That’s true. The Great Labyrinth is where the raw materials for nectar come from.”
“Yes. We prepared 10 bottles of nectar, but at the board meeting, it was said that this was not enough.”
So what are you going to give me?
Tell me quickly!
I feel really dizzy!
“Let me just show you a little bit.”
The Guardians’ League director picked up the magic box.
He tilts the door towards me and opens it slightly.
Then, the deep, dark aura that emanates from it.
Evil power.
Also, the pitch-black magic power that crawls out with a thud.
In it I saw.
Something that looked like a chunk of meat, like a jewel, beating slowly.
I said that name without thinking.
“Devil’s Heart?”
“That’s correct!”
The Guardians’ League director nodded vigorously.
“You know that even you, Superman, need to take nectar according to the law, right?”
“Of course I know. Oh, then this?”
“Yes, that’s it. It’s the main ingredient of the special elixir.”
Just as eating the heart of a mountain king grants you courage, the devil’s heart unlocks various characteristics depending on its type.
However, there is one prerequisite.
That the side dishes must be included.
The Guardians’ League director took up the magic bottle.
“These are the tears of an angel.”
“You’re giving me that precious thing?”
“Yes. This is the right amount to achieve balance. Honestly, didn’t our Guardians’ League benefit the most from the knowledge you gave us this time?”
That’s right.
I stared at the magic bottle with bewildered eyes.
Angel’s tears, also the main ingredient in elixir.
It is extremely rare as it can only be obtained through special quests.
After Episode 3, the old father’s invasion of heaven became possible, so the quantity was relatively freed up, but that’s not the case now.
“Thank you so much. I didn’t know you would take care of me this much.”
“Oh, by the way, I can give you the demon heart if you want. I recommend the goat demon or the Rakshasa. For warrior-type superhumans, there’s nothing better than those two demons.”
Those two are good too.
Because the goat demon can get Onslaught, and the Rakshasa can get Massacre.
‘It was a one-man showdown material, wasn’t it?’
Come to think of it, I have some of the ingredients for a thousand days.
The rage contained in the hatchet.
Fighting spirit obtained by defeating the Lion Knight Odusik.
Because those two were the necessary characteristics for a one-man showdown.
Here, get one more with the Demon Heart, and if you somehow eat the remaining three, you’ll have a combat-use superior trait in no time.
but······
“Isn’t there a heart of the Demon Dragon?”
“Are you a demon dragon?”
The Guardians’ League director looks surprised.
“The Heart of the Flame Dragon is good for magicians, especially fire-attribute magicians. I know it doesn’t really work on warriors and actually has negative effects······”
“I am different.”
I swapped traits and snapped my fingers.
Hwaak, a black flame rises.
Black flames stuck to the tip of the finger like candles.
The two archbishops and the Guardians’ League directors nodded in understanding.
“Yes, that’s right. You overcame your father’s baptism.”
“As a result, you obtained black salt······”
“You may eat the heart of the Demon Dragon.”
The devil’s dragon.
A large and powerful level 6 demon among the demons that appear in the Great Labyrinth.
Actually, it’s a bit burdensome to eat it as I’ve been promoted to level 5.
Because the characteristic embedded in the heart is [Hellfire].
Hellfire!
It’s a magic that many people know.
It is also a high-level magic that frequently appears in fantasy novels.
It’s hellfire. This.
There is a good reason why I desire hellfire.
The highest.
That’s what the Sun Tower and the Bet did.
The common material for both the extreme and the extreme was hellfire.
I could conquer the Great Labyrinth myself and catch the Demon Dragon, but since I’m going to give it to you as a gift, it’d be better to get it in advance.
Because the Demon Dragon is a demon that is difficult to catch alone in many ways.
“Very well. I will gladly give you the heart of the Demon Dragon.”
“thank you.”
“Thank you. We are more grateful.”
Looks like it’s almost finished.
I always swept the rewards into the golf bag I carry with me.
Oh, I grabbed Mjolnir and Aegis on the spot.
The two archbishops laughed happily as they put the Aegis on their left arm and Mjolnir on their waist.
“I have one last thing to tell you.”
“Again?”
“Perhaps this is what you, the superhuman, or rather the knight, need most.”
Just a moment.
What did you say?
Paladin? Why do you call me Paladin?
The two archbishops took out a single banner as if they had made a promise.
A badge-shaped insignia that can be attached to clothing.
One is a hammer that strikes with lightning.
Another is a land full of flowers in full bloom.
It looks familiar.
They were the knight insignia of the Order of Thor and the Order of Gaia respectively.
“The Pope himself has instructed that he will appoint you as an honorary knight of our church. However, since you are not a member of our church, he has stated that any ceremonies of appointment will be omitted.”
“The same goes for our sect. And you said that you can hide your honorary status if you want. In that case, I will also not call you a paladin, but a superhuman. Until you reveal your identity.”
What this means is clear.
To check the old father’s sect.
Let’s say I eventually gave in to my old father’s sect and joined it.
The most difficult ones are the Thor Cult and the Gaia Cult.
Because they fought fiercely during the War of Extinction, they were eventually driven out of their origins in the Levant and Europe.
That’s why the old father’s sect put so much effort into Asia.
Because I can’t set foot in Europe.
The saint who is the Pope is also a Korean.
Compensation delivered for a combination of reasons.
There is no loss for me either.
Because I’m just an honorary knight.
And you can keep it a secret······
It seems like they want to use me to strike back at the old father’s sect.
Because at the crucial moment, you can declare yourself a knight of honor and counterattack.
But it’s not my taste.
“Thank you. I will gladly become an honorary knight. However, I don’t think it is necessary to keep it a secret.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Because I am confident.”
The archbishops nodded their heads as if they were moved.
“You are indeed a knight.”
“There’s definitely no need to keep it a secret.”
“I heard there is a saying in the East that a gentleman should walk the path of virtue. I salute your decision, Paladin.”
Even if they are definitely a friendly force, you shouldn’t let your guard down.
Are you trying to use me here too?
It’s nice that I can get a little revenge on my old father’s sect, but it doesn’t suit my temperament.
I just want to get stronger quickly.
Don’t let the church or anything else bother me.
To do that, it would be a good idea to announce that you are an honorary knight.
Although it will attract a lot of attention and the jealous crowd will explode and multiply.
‘The atmosphere these days is already strange······’
I haven’t forgotten.
When I went to the Sun Tower, there was a group of people who targeted me and tried to get information from me.
You said it was Geumoh Group, right?
It’s strange that there’s been no news since then, but it’s probably not just the Geumoh Group that’s after me.
If you can make a shield, it’s better to make more than one.
Among the towers, the Sun Tower.
Protection of the Eastern Army through the Mukho Sword.
Here are the Thor Cult and the Gaia Cult.
Although it may be less influential than the four major powers, with the help of the Guardians’ Alliance, it is not so bad that you will be beaten up wherever you go.
The Guardians’ League director also handed me the badge I had been waiting for.
“This is the regular guardian insignia.”
“A regular badge? Wasn’t it something that a level 5 guardian could earn by accumulating points in the Great Labyrinth?”
“The Guardian’s devotion was so great that it surpassed the level difference and contribution points.”
A plain shield badge.
The only decoration is the letter [G] engraved in the center of the shield.
However, among superhumans, it is the badge that gives food rather than the knight badge.
NPCs showed particularly strong reactions.
It raises the reputation level of all factions by 1 level and increases the speed of reputation increase by 30%, so that says it all.
“When are you returning home?”
“My flight is tomorrow morning. I’ve been away from Korea for so long that I’m starting to miss it.”
“Well, the President wanted to see the Guardian, and I have some free time. How about meeting for a little while?”
“The president?”
A different character from the game’s incompetent governor.
We just had a quick hello just before the public experiment.
So I know who it is.
[SSR Blood King]
He was the youngest disciple of Cheonma.
