Chapter 290

Chapter 290

It didn't take long to modify the Green Belt, thanks to the skills I learned earlier.

[Name: Black Belt (Reversed)]

[Class: Artifact]

[Type: Belt]

[Description: The belt of Sir Gawain from the legend of King Arthur. Its effects are reversed by the influence of other items. When worn, the wearer's strength increases according to the level of the moon's fullness in the sky.]

"That's crazy."

As someone who is mostly active at night, this is a very versatile item.

Moreover, the most important thing about this item is that its power doesn't depend on the height of the moon, but on its fullness.

This means I can use it anytime, anywhere, as long as the moon is up.

I put the new item on to see how effective it was.

"Hmm......overall stats increased by 10%?"

A 10% increase on a new moon, I thought it must be a mythical artifact.

"Also, I took this."

[Name: Cross of the Holy Order of Brass (Sealed)]

[Class: Holy Relic]

[Type: Necklace]

[Description: The mark of the Knights of St. Brass, an order that once fought against the darkness. It has a faint holy power, and if you hang it over your bed, you're unlikely to have nightmares.]

It was an ordinary looking cross on the outside but that's only how it looks to those who don't know its true value.

"Usually, to unlock a holy relic like this, you need to stimulate it with divine power from the outside......."

Luckily, I had just the thing to stimulate it.

I took out my Ascalon chopsticks and began tapping on the cross like a triangle.

I must have tapped it about 20 times.

Zing── zing── zing──

The cross, which had been making only the sound of clanging brass, suddenly began to resonate.

Slowly, the brass cross begins to glow brightly, returning to its original color.

Finally, the cross regains its brightness comparable to gold, and it begins to radiate holy power, showing off its holy relic status.

[Name: Cross of the Knights of Saint Brass]

[Class: Holy Relic]

[Type: Necklace]

[Description: The mark of the Knights of St. Brass, an order that once fought against the darkness. When infused with Aura, it will turn Aura into a Holy Power at a 1:1 ratio.]

"Eek, that's it!"

It was an item that allows those who are not gifted with Holy Power to use it.

Until now, I've been borrowing Ascalon's power because I couldn't use my own holy power, but this will allow me to not have to worry about running out of holy power in Ascalon.

Best of all, it would allow me to make better use of......Ascalon.

"With this, I'll be more comfortable as Magical Rogue."

Initially, Magical Rogue was intended to be the ultimate combination of a Paladin and a Rogue.

With this, the completed Magical Rogue was ready to go.

I've made all the items, it's getting late, and I'm calling it a night.

The Villain Alliance request for Magical Rogue.......

~The next day, on the way to the academy~

"Master. Isn't that you, Master?"

"Huh?"

Han Seo-joon stops the car in front of the school gate as usual and points to the top of the gate.

As I followed his finger, I noticed a banner that I didn't know why it was hanging there.

[Jegal Hyun-ho and Eugene Han Win War Bush Lands World Championship (Congratulations)]

"Holy shit......."

"......I'll try."

"Okay, here we go."

With that, Ji-hyun grabbed my hand and activated her power.

In an instant, my vision starts to reverse, then gets blurry, and then starts to get brighter and brighter with a slight headache.

Slowly, my vision returns.

I raise my head and realize that there is something huge in front of me.

"What......is this?"

A giant creature is standing in front of me, looking at me with those "what is this?" eyes.

An elephant.

-Poooooooooooooo!!!

A huge elephant was in front of me.

"Oops. My mistake."

Ji-hyun smiled and activated her ability.

My vision flashed again, and this time, the elephant moved off into the distance.

"Huh? Bo, boss!"

"Instructor!"

All the kids had moved in this direction.

"Hey, guys, how's everyone doing? Everything okay?"

Ji-hyun smiled and talked to the kids and Jin-woo, who hadn't been paying attention, shouted out.

“Throwing a person into the middle of a pride of lions! If I wasn’t an awakened person, I would have been left behind?!”

Uh......wondered why the hem of his shirt was torn, so he must have a sad story.

"Hya, you were able to see the lion right in front of you. You're so lucky. Do you want to go see a tiger this time?"

She smiled at Jin-woo and raised her hand.

Jin-woo is surprised, and he laughs haha, forcing a smile.

"Hey, it's okay, I got to see the lion's teeth thanks to you, so I guess that’s enough, hahaha!"

Jin-woo finally succumbs and Ji-hyun nods in satisfaction.

"By the way, instructor. This place looks like a zoo......why are we here?"

At that moment, Young-jae, the class leader, asks Ji-hyun why we came here and she replies as if it's nothing.

"Volunteer work."

"What?"

"Volunteer work?"

The kids start to panic at Ji-hyun's sudden mention of "volunteering," but she doesn't let that stop her.

"Some rare animals are supposed to arrive here today. Our job is to patrol the zoo and keep the peace in the meantime. Doesn't sound too difficult, right?"

"Uh, what kind of animal is it that you're sending Academy students out to protect?"

"That one."

In response to Se-ah's question, Ji-hyun pointed behind her, where a huge banner was hanging.

[Welcome to Korea! Fantastic animals. Fresh green is with you!]

Shinrok (新綠), an animal that appears in old Korean folk tales.

TLN: I’m not sure if Shinrok it’s the correct name.

The banner had a picture of a giant deer with wings.

"Huh? Shinrok! I saw on the news that a Shinrok has been discovered, but is it coming here?"

Se-ah said in surprise, recognizing the deer from the news.

"Yeah. It's a new species, after all, and the Association said that there might be some people who want to steal it and turn it into an elixir, or get the byproducts. It seemed like a good excuse to have fun, so I offered to go with my class to guard it. See the animals and eat the food."

Ji-hyun smiles as she looks around as if nothing is wrong.

The other children were also looking very happy as it was an outside activity, not a class, but.......

‘Fresh green, a zoo. Isn't this the one?'

The ‘Shinrok kidnapping incident' is mentioned once in the game.

I don't know if Ji-hyun intended it or not, but we could have been involved in a big case.
