Episode 108
reunion (1)
<Huh, this is it. Just sealing it would have been enough. This is how it happens.>
Susanoo’s bewildered voice was heard. It was not the dignified voice I had ever heard, but the voice of a young man. Just when Do-do, who felt doubtful about that, was about to talk to Susanoo, a notification window appeared in front of him.
<You have succeeded in loading a being of the highest order. As a reward, your mana increases by 10 and your stats increase by 10.>
And then two spinning boards appeared before my eyes. But that wasn’t the end.
<A being of high rank… >
<Mana increased by 5, strength by 3, stamina by 5, reflexes by 3, and mana sensitivity by 9.>
At the same time that Susanoo’s load was released, Seimei’s load was also released. A total of three wheels began to spin in front of Jeong Do’s eyes.
“already?!”
When I loaded Tenku, which was also white, it wasn’t this short? Is there a difference even if it is the same white?
While I was thinking about Susanoo, who disappeared so quickly, the spinning wheel stopped.
<You have acquired the skill <Entrapment>.>
<Skill <Gust> and skill <Poison Resistance> were selected. Please select one of the two.>
As a reward for loading Seimei, you will receive <Popakjin>.
Two options appeared as rewards for loading Susanoo. To the extent that he possessed the ability to kill all poisons, it was in fact only one option.
<You have acquired the skill <Gust>.>
After selecting the skill, I quickly ran to the cave where Susanoo’s statue was located.
A statue split in half in a cave.
Jeong-do urgently spoke to the statue.
“Hey. God? “Mr. Susanoo?”
However, no matter how bad the situation was, the statue remained silent. Susanoo’s spiritual power that remained in the statue in the first place was not much, so it disappeared after only delivering the necessary words. Jeongdo sighed.
‘Is this all that’s left?’
Jeong Do looked down at the sword in his hand.
Ameno Habakiri.
If Japan knew about it, it would immediately be designated as a national treasure. Of course, since it is a decisive battle weapon exclusively for Orochi, it may not be useful to other beings, but isn’t it still a mythical item? Even if you melt and recycle it, great things will be created.
“huh?”
As Jeong-do took a final look inside the cave, he noticed something he had not found when he first entered the cave.
Mokham.
An old wooden box was lying in a corner of the cave.
When Jeong-do approached and opened the wooden box, there were two swords and a book inside. One of the two swords was long and the other was short.
Jeong Do picked up one of the two swords and examined it. Although the wooden box itself was very old, there was no trace of rust whatsoever. After briefly admiring Jeongdo, he picked up the book lying next to him and at that moment, a notification window appeared in front of his eyes.
<It has been confirmed that you possess the skill <Icheon First Class>. Would you like to acquire the skill <Five Rings>?>
Surprisingly, the book that was with the two swords was a skill stone. And the moment I checked the name of the skill, I knew who these items belonged to.
Miyamoto Musashi.
The Book of Five Rings is the name of the book that represents Miyamoto Musashi along with Icheon Ilryu, a dual sword technique. This book is composed of five chapters: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Emptiness, and each chapter discusses swordsmanship or fighting methods. They said they couldn’t find the original even in Japan, but it looks like it was found here.
‘Now that I think about it, Musashi told me to call him when he visits Mt. Fuji.’
He clearly said he would give something good, but it was clear that he meant the Book of Five Rings and the twin swords. When Do-do accepted to learn the skill, another notification window appeared.
<You have acquired the skill <Five Rings>.>
<You can assign water, wind, earth, and fire attributes to attacks.>
<As skill proficiency increases, the hidden attribute <Attribute> can be granted.>
“oh.”
A skill that grants attributes was truly a hit. I was even more glad to see it because I had already realized the importance of elemental attacks during the last Battle of Bulsai.
“good. “Now that I’ve packed everything I need, let’s go.”
That’s how the long journey on Mt. Fuji ended.
* * * * * *
Four days have passed since Jeongdo hunted Orochi.
There were many changes during that period, but the biggest change was that Do-do became world-famous. As the scene of Jeong-do hunting Orochi was broadcast, reporters from various countries came and wanted to interview Jeong-do. However, Jeong-do refused all interviews and quietly hunted the monsters on Mt. Fuji with his teammates.
Jeongdo refused because it was just annoying, but people praised his attitude, saying he was faithful to his duties as a user.
The sea eclipse has arrived for Jeong-do, who is resting at the hotel. Haesik was holding a newspaper in one hand and chuckling as if it was fun.
“older brother. Have you seen this? The newspapers are all about you, right? The birth of a new hero! “Savior of mankind!”
“shut up. men and horses.”
It was so embarrassing that I threw a piece of potato chip I was eating towards Haesik. Haesik didn’t stop smiling even as he got a potato chip hit in her face.
“Wow, what is this again? In Japan, they say you are the second coming of Susanoo, right? And that my brother should be recognized as an honorary Japanese… What nonsense? This?”
“They already asked me if I wanted to naturalize. “I rejected them all.”
It wasn’t anything particularly strange. Even if you only wear the title of S-class, naturalization offers will come secretly. It goes without saying that he single-handedly defeated Orochi.
“why? Were you the patriotic type? Naturalization isn’t a bad idea.”
“Because it’s annoying.”
Jeongdo answered harshly, and Haesik chuckled, saying it was fun. After chatting with Haesik for a while, Jeongdo put a potato chip in his mouth and got lost in thought.
‘Naturalize.’
As Hae-sik said, he was not a particularly patriotic type. According to <Communication>, there was no language problem, so he could have passed at any time if the conditions were good, but he refused to do so.
‘There’s something about Korea.’
So far, in <Information Draw>, only information related to oneself has been revealed. And all that information was about things that happened domestically. That means that the real universe himself did not leave Korea. To a certain extent, that was the point.
While Jeong-do was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door and Seo-yoon came into the room holding Tinia.
“brother. “I’m ready to return home.”
“okay? “Then let’s go.”
Jeongdo stood up from his chair and said. Two days after defeating Orochi. Intelligent monsters began to appear on Mount Fuji. As Winry said, more powerful monsters appeared over time. In addition, the barrier surrounding Mt. Fuji has become much thinner, so it was decided to close the spot to some extent.

It was judged that it could be really dangerous if the spot on Mt. Fuji was left unattended any longer. It was a bit of a waste, but the level of not only myself, but also Seoyoon and Haesik had been raised sufficiently, so the regret wasn’t too great. Without any regrets, I closed the spot and spent the remaining two days subduing the remaining monsters on Mt. Fuji.
With this, the reason for being in Japan disappeared, and Jeong Do and the team boarded a plane to Korea.
* * * * * *
The first place Jeong Do visited after returning to Korea was the workshop at Hae Joon’s house. He wanted to kill Orochi and check the loot he got.
Orochi died outside the dungeon, so his body remained intact.
In Japan, people wanted to buy the body even for a thousand gold, but they flatly refused and fed everything except the important parts to Ixia.
Even so, Ixia’s growth rate had almost reached its limit, so I thought that if I fed Orochi this time, I would definitely be able to break the seal, but Ixia’s seal did not break.
Thinking that feeding a monster of the level of Orochi would not be enough, he asked Ixia, but the answer he received was the complete opposite of what he expected.
<I can’t handle such a high-level monster in one go at my current level. You have to dissolve it little by little and eat it. But eating it like this is so delicious… .>
Ironically, Orochi’s level was so high that he was unable to break Ixia’s seal.
Anyway, that’s how I absorbed everything into Ixia, except for the parts that I thought were important.
thud.
Then, I took out the important parts that I had left out from the inventory and put them down.
Orochi’s eyes.
Orochi’s fangs.
Orochi’s poison pouch.
And finally, Orochi’s tail.
As a result of Jeongdo’s observation and examination of the materials, the eyes and fangs were legendary grade materials, and the poison pouch was mythical grade material. In comparison, Orochi’s tail was only rare.
In fact, as a crafting material, Orochi’s tail was not a particularly useful part. However, he could definitely say that the tail was the best reward he received from defeating Orochi.
According to Japanese mythology, treasure is hidden in Orochi’s tail.
Heavenly Cloud Sword.
It is a famous sword that is well known in Korea and is one of the three sacred weapons handed down from generation to generation by the Emperor of Japan. According to the myth, Susanoo defeated Orochi and obtained this sword from Orochi’s tail. And wouldn’t that be the same this time too?
Jeongdo swallowed dry saliva and dismantled Orochi’s huge tail.
And within it, a sword appeared.
“this… .”
Jeong-do gently grasped the sword that came out of his tail. It was a typical Japanese sword with a blade length of about 1 m. The degree used observation toward that sword.
<Orochi’s Godslaughter Sword>
<Grade: Myth>
<Yamata no Orochi can create a sword within its body once every three thousand years. This is a famous sword made from Orochi’s bones and scales and tempered with magical power for thousands of years. Unlike the previously created Heavenly Cloud Sword, it contains Orochi’s powerful resentment.>
<Effect 1: Reflexes + 20>
<Effect 2: Grants the skill <God Kill> to the user.>
Looking at the explanation, I could see how desperately Orochi had been waiting for revenge.
The ‘strongest shield’ that blocks attacks from beings with the <Shinwi> talent, <Blood Dance that Curses God>, and the ‘strongest weapon’ <Shinslaughter Sword>, which pierces through beings with the <Shinwi> talent.
Orochi planned to challenge Susanoo with those two weapons, but… Unfortunately, he was not able to properly use the weapons he had prepared over thousands of years, and ended up being destroyed due to a degree of <ignorance of compatibility>.
“That’s cool.”
Because of the King of All Diseases, I had no interest in other weapons, but I could not help but admire the smooth appearance of the Shinsalgeom. It was at that time that I was satisfied with the level and put the Godslaughter Sword into my inventory.
Jijijijik.
The sound of electric current flowing in the underground workshop began to be heard, and cracks began to form in front of Jeongdo’s eyes.
“Dungeon?!”
Jeongdo reflexively used observation towards the dungeon.
Tiring!
Dungeon name: Dwarven Treasure Dungeon.
Number of people limited: 1 person or less.
Difficulty: Unknown.
Type: Unknown.
Monster that appears: Unknown.
Hidden information: This is a special dungeon where there are no monsters. If you overcome the dwarf’s trials, you can obtain rare rewards. The level of compensation may vary depending on the dwarves’ mood and situation.
The identity of the dungeon was that it was a dwarven dungeon that Jeongdo had visited once before. It was only after reading the dungeon information that I understood the situation.
‘Tenku said that if I collected two more ingredients similar to the Essence of the Bulgari, he would come look for me there. ‘But why now?’
The essence of the firefly was a myth-grade material. And the mythical material obtained through this Orochi raid is a poison pouch. There was still a situation where one more myth-grade material had to be collected.
“Oh, no way.”
Jeong Do realized something and looked at the Godslaughter Sword in his hand. The level of the Godslayer Sword is Mythic. Could it be that Shinsalgeom was treated as a ‘material’?
And as if the guess was correct, the crack was growing even bigger, tempting Jeongdo.
“The timing is really weird.”
I was wondering where to find the remaining ingredient, and this solves the problem. Jeong Do placed his hand on the crack and infused mana into it, and Jeong Do could no longer be seen in the workshop.
