Episode 68
Ditarterone (5)
‘Myth level!’
In general, there are two types of mythic grade items known to the world.
Excalibur.
Blue Dragon and Woldo Island.
Powerful weapons that can kill even huge monsters in two with one blow. These were treasures that could not be obtained even if you paid a thousand gold.
However, there might be an unknown mythical item somewhere in the world. Because not everyone went around revealing mythical items.
Like the degree.
Hanging around Jeongdo’s neck was another mythical item unknown to the world, ‘Gesuna’s Protection.’ And even the twin dragon swords that were just made. He was the only one who possessed two mythical items.
“… “This is unexpected.”
While making the twin dragon swords, I had no intention of using them as weapons. Because I have the king of all diseases. It was created as a means to reliably load Admiral Yi Sun-sin… No, is it okay for a mythical item to just pop out like this?
<It’s a miracle.>
Jeong Yak-yong said that, perhaps because he felt a certain amount of doubt.
<My technique, high-quality materials, and modern-day high-level workshop equipment… In the end, it all came together and surpassed the original.>
Now that I think about it, the flail used as an ingredient was of legendary grade. It was not simply melted down high-quality iron.
<And, crucially, heavenly luck followed. Even if you make it again using the same materials and using the same method, you won’t be able to produce something like this.>
<Hmm, look at it. Confucius. Doesn’t the teacher also acknowledge Jim’s luck? Confucius needs to treat Jim with more respect.>
<No! It’s because of my intuition!>
Jeongdo looked at the twin dragon swords in front of him while listening to Yuseon and Ixia’s conversation in one ear. Two swords radiating sharp anticipation. Jeongdo used observation towards the twin dragon swords.
Tiring!
<Twin Dragon Sword>
<Grade: Myth>
<This is a sword modeled after the sword of a renowned Joseon master. However, ironically, the combination of different technologies, good materials, and luck led to the creation of a sword that was superior to the original. However, as it was made with the intention of calling someone, it became a ceremonial sword rather than a sword for actual combat.>
<Effect 1: User’s mana sensitivity +20>
<Effect 2: Skill <Steering Skill> can be used.>
<Effect 3: Skill <Sea Current Adjustment> can be used.>
<Effect 4: Increases the user’s abilities when fighting on a ship.>
<Hidden effect: When possessing talent <Command-lv.3>, the abilities of allies within a certain space are additionally increased.>
“… “What kind of ceremonial sword is this?”
I think it would be more appropriate to call it a commanding sword. Jeongdo smiled in satisfaction.
“Then next task.”
There was one more thing left to do here. Jeong-do took out the doppelganger’s body from his inventory.
“ruler. Ixia. Absorb it.”
Ixia’s current growth rate is 97.3%. The doppelganger’s corpse could be unsealed in an instant.
‘I didn’t intend to release it in such a hurry… ‘
Doppelganger is a dungeon boss monster that appeared during the second cataclysm. It was a waste to waste it like this, but I couldn’t help it. When dealing with a monster like Ditarteron, you can’t be underprepared just because it’s a waste. He had to prepare as best he could.
<Yes! Thank you.>
Fortunately, the doppelganger’s body was not just that, but looked like a mushy slime. It was truly fortunate that his own corpse was not eaten by Ixia.
The golden mana that spewed out from Ixia absorbed the body of the doppelganger.
<The growth rate of Ixia the Foresight has reached 100%. The seal is lifted.>
A brilliant light emanated from Ixia, and its form became a little more gorgeous. Jeongdo used observation on Ixia.
<Ixia of Wisdom (Level 3)>
<Grade: Legend>
<This is one of the 13 weapons created by Ixia, the dragon of wisdom, with all her might. It has the power to always guide users to the right path. The more the seal is released, the more powerful the effect becomes.>
Talent: <Gam-lv.2>
Growth rate: 0%
<Effect 1: Increases mana by 5, strength by 5, stamina by 5, reflexes by 5, and mana sensitivity by 5>
<Effect 2: Skill <Predatory Growth> can be used>
<Effect 3: You can understand the target’s intention. As the seal is lifted, the accuracy increases.>
“huh?”
As the seal is lifted, the new effect that appears is… Something was strange.
“The target’s intention? Ixia. “What does this mean?”
<You can recognize the intent of someone’s objects or situations! hmm… For example, when I look at the two swords in front of me, I get the feeling that they were made for the purpose of calling someone.>
“… Hmm, is it some kind of ability to find the origin? But is this going to be of much help?”
<You can find the origin of an item, but its true value is revealed in a confrontation with the enemy! If you do it well, you can detect the enemy’s intentions.>
“… I guess it’s really <Gam-lv.2>. “That’s the only ability that comes out.”
However, according to Ixia’s words, it is a considerable ability. This way, you won’t get stabbed in the back by anyone.
“Let’s test our abilities little by little and set off. “Because one o’clock is urgent.”
Jeong Do put the twin dragon swords in his inventory and departed from Hae Joon’s house for Gangneung.
* * * * * *
Jeongdo quickly arrived at Gangneung Port. Temporary barracks had already been built in Gangneung Port and civilian control was in place. Jeong Do revealed his identity to a soldier guarding Gangneung Port and was guided to the central barracks.
“oh. “You’re here.”
In the central barracks, the Minister of National Defense, the president of the association, and even the aces of each guild, including Hae-jun Kang and Sang-hee Seo, were seated.
“It’s nice to see you again. “I was grateful at that time.”
A large man greeting Jeongdo.
Jin Chang-hoo.

He also participated in this operation. Jeong Do was also happy to say hello, but the minister spoke faster.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll solve the problem later. “Because one o’clock is urgent.”
With those words, Jeong Do sat down at the central table and the Minister of National Defense explained the operation.
“According to the existing operation, we tried to infiltrate through both air and sea routes, but the situation has changed. “Watch this video.”
A video of the Dokdo fog filmed by a drone was playing on a temporarily installed monitor.
“First, we deployed reconnaissance drones and unmanned ships as a test. And this is the result.”
First, the video being played showed a scene of an unmanned ship entering the fog.
“As you can see, the unmanned ship was able to enter the fog without any hindrance. However, after some time had passed after entering the fog, the video became shaky and cut off.”
Did Lich attack the unmanned ship? Or, there could be magic at work in the space in the fog that disrupts communication. Although Jeongdo was lost in thought, the minister’s words did not end.
“But in the air, things were completely different.”
This time, it was not an unmanned ship, but a video from a drone was played.
“Oh!”
It was just as the minister said. As soon as the drone touched the fog, it melted.
“… This?”
“It must be the work of the guy who occupied Dokdo. “I don’t know what he’s thinking.”
<… They want to force a naval war. Because I am confident that I will not lose on the sea.>
Ixia explained Detarteron’s intentions. Indeed, it is a skull whose arrogance is soaring into the sky. Of course, if it is as powerful as the Elder Arch Lich, it can be dismissed as an expression of confidence rather than arrogance… There was always another sky above the sky. For that matter, the twin dragon swords sleeping in his inventory couldn’t have been that reassuring.
“Therefore, we are scrapping the operation to infiltrate by air and are planning to infiltrate through the sea in two directions. As everyone knows, Dokdo is made up of two islands, Dongdo and Seodo. One team will infiltrate Dongdo Island and the other team will infiltrate West Island and annihilate the enemy. “At sea, we will fight with naval guns, but if the enemy hides in Dokdo, then it will be the user’s turn.”
And when the minister finished speaking, a soldier came into the barracks.
“Minister. “They say the last evacuation ship from Ulleungdo has just left this way.”
“… i get it.”
The Minister looked at the users gathered inside the barracks. And he bowed his head.
“It’s a shame that someone who eats away the rust in the country wants help from the people. But what’s the point of shame if you can protect your country? please… “Fight for your country.”
Jeongdo and users boarded the ship with a sincere request from the Minister of National Defense.
* * * * * *
A little over three hours after departing from Gangneung Port.
“You have arrived at your destination!”
Such reports continued in the captain’s office of the warship. The captain leading the fleet glanced at Jeong-do and said.
“then. From now on, we enter the fog. “I wish everyone good luck.”
The fleet, centered on the captain’s ship with Jeong Do on board, entered the thick fog.
“… oh my god.”
Not long after, a black boat was discovered.
A huge wooden boat can be seen little by little through the thick fog. The wooden boat was littered with bones and crushed corpses.
Even the captain, who had spent decades on a ship at sea, trembled at the majesty and instinctively looked at the person who could protect him.
Jeongdo felt those gazes and spoke to the captain.
“I will take the lead.”
“… It’s a shame. “Please.”
Jeong Do arrived at the head of the ship and looked at the ghost ship.
“… “It’s spectacular.”
As long as there was rain and wind, a disaster movie was born. The undead army on the ship was shouting at the warship. And a blond man sitting leisurely among the undead crowd.
‘Ditarteron!’
The moment of decisive battle is imminent.
Jeong Do took out a twin dragon sword and a heavy leather pouch from his inventory. Then he carefully opened the leather bag and placed it at his feet.
Filling the leather pocket were coins.
Those are 100 won coins with the image of Admiral Yi Sun-sin engraved on them!
I was worried that the twin dragon swords might not be enough, so I quickly stopped by the bank and exchanged 100 won coins. If other people knew the situation, they would be shocked, but it was serious.
<Uhm… master. I don’t think this is right.>
Actually, Ixia was dumbfounded, but you couldn’t hear how intensely focused she was.
“Whew. good. Goes.”
Failure can never happen. The extent to which I loaded the wire from the album.
<Oh. Confucius. See you again today… Ahh! What are those ghosts all about? Confucius. Jim is weak to things like that!>
“God. Buddha. Confucius. Primitive Cheonjon. Goddess of Luck. Yoo Seon. “Bend and look.”
<… It seems like the level of baggage has risen too much.>
“They will always be equal in my heart! please!”
For the most part, I used <Location Draw>.
Paaaa!!!
Hundreds of millions of business cards spread out over Jeongdo’s head. Jeong Do looked at the business card with a more nervous face than ever. The waves were rolling and the boat was rocking, but I waited for the business card to fall without any shaking.
and.
Wedge!
Finally, a business card was shot at Do-do’s head. What is the color of the business card that was thrown out?
Black color.
A pitch-black, pitch-black business card was brought down towards Jeongdo. Jeongdo clenched her fists and shouted.
“come!”
The black business card was gently absorbed into Jeongdo’s forehead. And like during the Black Iseong-gye period, there was no mana storm. Instead, a profound and dignified voice rang in Do-do’s head.
<Is it the sea of your home country?>
The moment I heard the voice, I felt a shiver run down my spine. She instinctively opened the status window.
Name: Jinjeongdo
Level: 181
Mana available: 289
Strength: 115 Stamina: 139 Reflexes: 183 Mana Responsiveness: 367
Talent: <Naval Battle-lv.3>, <Command-lv.3>, <Tactics-lv.3>, <Dignity-lv.2>, <Steering Skills-lv.2>, <Ship Artillery-lv.2>, <Archery-lv.2>… and 10 others.
Possessed Skills: <Summon Turtle Ship>, <Sea Current Detection>, <Blood Flame Mountain>… and 7 more
Jeong Do immediately returned to the captain’s office with the twin dragon swords strapped to his waist.
“buy… User! What happened… uh?”
The captain could not continue his sentence. Something invisible about Jeong Do made the captain cringe.
Jeongdo smiled and said to the captain.
“Captain. “I will give instructions to the other ships in a moment.”
“… yes? Uh, but… that.”
A clear violation of authority. If this situation were to become known to the Ministry of Defense, he would definitely have to take off his clothes. However, the captain could not refuse such words. This is correct. If you do what he tells you, you can win. He felt it instinctively.
I passed by the captain, who was standing blankly, and grabbed the radio.
And as if he knew how to operate everything, he naturally opened the lines to all the ships and then opened his mouth.
“From now on, I will hand over operations to this fleet. Please trust me and follow me.”
<Foreign enemies will never be able to set foot on our homeland.>
Dokdo, a small island southeast of Ulleungdo.
There now.
The ruler of the sea has arrived.
