Episode 137
Spot (7)
Should we seriously foster first-choice students?
When Do-do had that thought, a notification window appeared in front of him again.
There is no penalty for deregistering a person registered in <<Transcendence>. Registration and de-registration are freely possible at any time.>
“aha.”
It’s just that you can’t develop multiple characters at the same time, and once you register a character, it’s not a system that only nurtures that character until the end. All you had to do was grow the character you wanted to grow according to your own taste.
‘Then there’s no need to worry.’
It would be better to be pragmatic rather than to foster selfishness like Cho-seon. The opportunity to train first-time recruits will come someday. someday.
After having a short conversation with Cho-seon, Jeong-do released the load. It was a beautiful voice that didn’t really feel like it was the same person. A devilish voice that makes you want to talk even just a little more. I wondered if it would be possible to charm people with just your voice when you reach beauty level 3.
‘Is this your first time seeing <Beauty-lv.3>?’
Of all the ‘humans’ that Jeong Do had seen in person, the most beautiful one was, of course, Seo-yoon. Her looks are in no way inferior to those of Korea’s top actresses. She was also <Beauty-lv.2>, not level 3. And from what Jeongdo has experienced so far, there was a wall that could never be overcome between talent level 2 and level 3. If she’s a level 3 beauty, you can’t even tell what kind of beauty she will boast…
‘That’s not it. Winry is probably level 3.’
With her platinum blonde hair long to her waist and dressed in a neat maid uniform, she had an appearance that did not seem human at all. Even with her own ‘observation’ she couldn’t look into her information, so she couldn’t be sure, but she was probably right.
‘… for a moment?’
Come to think of it, from now on you will be able to load Chosun at any time, right? In other words, as long as someone else has the talent <Beauty> through his <Communication>, he can make them level 3. All you have to do is lend the necklace until the physical collapse that comes with rising talent level stabilizes.
‘I’m Seo-yoon from <Beauty-lv.3>.’
Neat black hair will become even more shiny, and your already perfect face will become even more perfect. And when you imagine someone smiling brightly at you and calling you ‘oppa’…
<I’m tired.>
“W-What?!”
Jeongdo was startled by Ixia’s sudden words.
<Yes? Did I just say that after seeing that big bear carcass?>
At those words, Do-do looked at the adult Behemoth. As Ixia said, the Behemoth was defecating after death to see if its muscles had relaxed. It was not a particularly rare sight. When a human, an animal, or a monster dies, he pours out excrement.
“okay. “It’s a matter of timing.”
<Master? What’s going on? There’s something sinister about his expression.>
“… “I guess it’s because of my mood.”
I was just happy to imagine my beloved younger sister growing up well, and I didn’t have any negative feelings.
If I continue like this, I feel like my delusion will spread endlessly, so just as I was about to head towards the Behemoth’s corpse, a notification window appeared once again.
<You have succeeded in strengthening a Black-level character by +1. Rewards will be given.>
<You will be given a confirmed white level road ticket.>
“I’m tired.”
<Yes?>
“No, it’s a different story.”
The reason I tried to load Arthur in the first place was to aim for reinforcement compensation. However, a large function called <Transcendence> suddenly appeared and I completely forgot about it.
‘The tickets are piling up.’
I didn’t specifically decide to save it even if I died, and I don’t think it will decrease even though I am using it appropriately when the time comes. Somehow, the number of cases came up and I was filling in the ticket numbers.
He currently holds a total of 4 tickets.
I received two black tickets after refunding the skill.
And one white confirmed ticket I just received.
Finally, an Ex-class ticket that you can’t tell what it is until you open it.
It was a lineup so dazzling that I was confident that even if they went into the heart of heaven right now, they would come back alive.
“hey. Triple S! “Come and see this!”
Arthur, who was dismantling the Behemoth, called out. He was holding something and waving his hand with his pincers covering his nose. Jeongdo walked towards the Behemoth’s body.
‘It definitely smells a bit strong.’
Behemoth had a lot of excrement to match its large size. If you put dozens of elephant dungs together, wouldn’t it be that much? The terrible smell of ammonia stung my nose, but I held back and approached Arthur.
“Now, this. “I think this is the best harvest from this raid.”
Arthur said that and held out an ore the size of his head. Jeongdo let out a small expression of admiration at the familiar shape.
“Is this really a mana stone?”
“okay. I have never seen one this big in my life. I think it’s twice as big as the maximum size listed by Guinness. “It was stuck in the center of the Behemoth’s heart.”
“… “You did a good job finding it.”
Although the mana stone in front of me was extremely large for a mana stone, it was truly insignificant compared to the overall size of the Behemoth. Even though not much time had passed since the Behemoth was defeated, Arthur’s keen eye was also unusual as he was able to accurately find the key material.
“maybe. I guess I’ll find the best one in our guild? “I have the most experience.”
“It’s unexpected? “The guild master, and the guild master of the Round Table who is well-known in the world, has a lot of experience in gathering.”
“Well, the only ones who have stamina left until the end of the expedition are the executives. “I’m the most energetic among them, so it’s natural for me to do the collecting, right?”
indeed.
In fact, when you become the head of a large guild, you don’t want to do such a bad thing, even if it’s because of pride. They said that although the saint was stupid, she was a good person, and it seemed to be true.
“Since you defeated the monster by yourself, you should also take the byproducts. “Are you carrying a subspace bag?”
“no.”
“Then let me keep it for now.”
Arthur said that and took out a small leather pouch from his pocket. Then he opened the mouth of the leather pouch and tried to insert the giant mana stone. No matter how you look at it, the size of the mana stone was overwhelmingly larger than the leather bag, but strangely enough, the mana stone fit into the pocket.
‘This is my first time actually seeing a subspace pocket.’
A subspace pocket that can be obtained with a very low probability in S-class or higher mission-type dungeons.
It was no exaggeration to say that the level of a guild varied depending on how many subspace pockets it possessed.
The most important factor in a long-term expedition is the supply of food. However, it was impossible to carry a lot of food in a dungeon full of monsters, so a subspace bag that could store a lot of food was essential for long-term expeditions.
‘what. ‘It has nothing to do with me.’
That precious subspace pocket existed as a skill for me. Moreover, the performance was overwhelming. Even items that cannot fit in a subspace pocket fit comfortably in one’s inventory.
‘Still, it’s impossible to put the Behemoth’s body in.’

No matter how good the inventory was, it was impossible to completely fit the corpse of such a huge monster. This would have been resolved by feeding it to Ixia, but Ixia was still unable to digest all of the Orochi from last time. Ixia was still struggling to digest Orochi, and its growth rate was increasing every day.
“then. “Are there any more areas to take care of?”
Surprisingly, the Behemoth’s skin and bones were not very strong. This was a characteristic not only of Behemoth but of all monsters that specialized in self-healing. This is because they were using all the energy to create tough leather and strong bones for recovery.
“huh? “The most important part still remains.”
“what? “Which one is it?”
“Oh, no way… .”
Arthur’s words expressed some doubt, and the saintess muttered quietly as if she had any inkling. However, her expression was far from saying that she had obtained a valuable material. On the contrary, she looked quite reluctant.
“as soon as. “That’s it.”
Arthur pointed somewhere on the Behemoth with his finger, and Jeongdo followed the finger and turned his gaze.
And then I crumpled my face.
“… poop?”
“okay! oh. friend. Could you please erase that look of disdain? “Have you ever heard of ambergris?”
Ambergris is the hardened excrement of sperm whales and is used as a raw material for perfume. They say that the smell before processing is very terrible, but when it is processed and made into perfume, it smells heavenly or something. I heard that it was so difficult to obtain that it was traded for the same weight of gold.
“In the past, the Round Table raided Behemoth. Of course, that guy back then was so small that it’s embarrassing to even compare him to this guy now… Anyway, back then he was hunting them and collecting their shit as well. But this is a perfume that completely resembles ambergris… .”
“You take it.”
“huh?”
“I’m fine, so you can have it.”
“oh. Well, once you get to Triple S, money probably doesn’t mean much! good. Then please wait a moment. “I’ll put it in soon.”
Arthur said that and rushed towards the Behemoth’s dung lump. Although Behemoth’s poop was splashed countless times on his face, his smile was brighter than ever. Jeongdo shuddered when he saw Arthur scooping shit into a subspace bag with Excalibur(?!).
‘There must be poop on the mana stone in your pocket.’
Should I just give him the mana stones?
With that in mind, I cleared the Behemoth Dungeon.
* * * * * *
Jijijijik.
After clearing Behemoth’s dungeon, the three returned to England. The degree and the saint were far away from Arthur. Arthur spoke cheerfully, not caring at all about the attitude of those two people.
“Okay then, is this the end now? Does this mean the spot will close?”
“okay. Since you’re right, just stay a little further away. “About 5 meters.”
It was just as Arthur said. As I cleared the dungeon, the mana concentration around me was dropping rapidly. It didn’t seem like any more space distortions would occur around here.
“then. Are you going back now?”
“No, we still need to look a little further.”
The spot was closed, but the monsters that had previously crossed over were still alive and well. And among those monsters, there will be some that are powerful enough even if they are not at the Behemoth level. For safety’s sake, it was necessary to deal with such monsters.
‘And I haven’t even seen any clues to heaven yet.’
The purpose of Jeong Do’s coming here was to find clues to the heavenly world. I wondered if there were any clues in the Behemoth’s lair, but I couldn’t find any, so I had to look around here at least.
<Master. As the mana around me decreases, I can feel the flow of buried mana.>
A weak mana that could not be detected due to the powerful mana gushing out from the center of the spot. Ixia caught the trend. Jeongdo told the saint and Arthur to wait for a moment and quickly moved to the place Ixia told them about.
and.
“This is it.”
I found a faint crack that was almost on the verge of disappearing. If it had been just an hour later, it would have disappeared. Ixia immediately began analysis.
<Master. Because the traces were so weak, they could not be analyzed completely. Still, I clearly remembered the ‘Elyos’ mana they left behind. I think we can move to a place where Elyos exist.>
“It’s a place where the Elyos are. okay. Just remember it.”
<Yes. Okay.>
The situation was different from when I collected the coordinates of the Demon World. At that time, there were clear coordinates called ‘Sgail’, but now, even if the ‘place where the Elyos are’ is passed based on the coordinates, there is no guarantee that it is heaven.
It could have been Earth, or it could have gone to the Demon World where it fights and fights with Heaven.
‘But whatever.’
If the Elyos are there, you can look for clues there again. Jeongdo had no intention of leaving Heaven alone.
The heavenly world was so detailed and vicious that it could not even be compared to the demonic world. If Jeong Do had not arrived in England, the invasion would probably have succeeded as planned by Heaven.
If Heaven invades in this way again, will it be possible to stop it?
Honestly, I wasn’t sure that would happen.
‘Before that, we have to destroy it so they can’t even think of attacking.’
It goes beyond the Demon World.
Jeong Do rejoined the group with the crack behind him, which had now completely disappeared.
