Episode 159
Bjolaf and the warriors could not help but be embarrassed.
“...Has it already been digested?”
A skull gourd appeared with the Imoogi’s mouth open!
At first, I thought it was actually X’s body that went into the stomach and then came out.
However, when the skull’s jaw joints rattled and a loud roar erupted, its identity was revealed.
Gunsmer tilted his head.
“I don’t know what happened, but it looks like he’s still alive?”
*
“Oh God!”
Tiroling!
Forgetting the reminders that kept coming to mind for a moment, X prayed more earnestly than ever.
Of course, it was a series of earnest prayers every day since the bloody voyage began. X looked at the bony hand bones.
“Now let’s check.”
Activate the heavenly capture with solemn eyes!
Aractasis’ corpse glowed.
An item came to mind.
-Heart of the Imoogi (Legendary)
A heart in which the energy of the Imoogi is condensed. It has an effect that surpasses the best medicine in the world.
Saturation: +100%
Special Effect: No penalty for eating without cooking. When consumed, it increases maximum health by 10,000 points, mana by 10,000 points, strength by 100 points, agility by 50 points, and intelligence by 50 points. Additionally, wind and water attribute affinities are permanently increased by 10%.
Legendary grade ingredients!
Kirilik. X’s joints twitched violently.
As befits a legend, it was an effect that had never been seen before. It is indeed backward compatible with Dragon Heart. This was a level that exceeded the level that could be raised with food ingredients.
X rolled his head in confusion.
‘...Wouldn’t this be useful somewhere?’
Overwhelming difficulty of acquisition.
Suddenly, I remembered what Lilian had said.
-I only know one recipe, just like Kalon. This recipe uses the phoenix, a legendary animal, as its main ingredient.
A gourmet king’s recipe using the legendary animal phoenix!
Even though the Imoogi’s heart had tremendous effects, it was ultimately something that could be made up for by repeated gluttony. So X made a decision.
“Sometimes moderation is necessary.”
I will keep the Imoogi’s heart safe!
Even though there are no rules regarding the ingredients of Gourmet King’s recipe, there was no need to eat it in a hurry. It was necessary to take it after careful consideration.
After regaining his appetite, X checked the items in his inventory.
-Imoogi Leather (Unique)
Tough Imoogi leather. It boasts a different level of durability.
Special Effects: When crafting equipment, additional effects are given to the equipment depending on the craftsman’s skill level. The side effect adapts and changes to suit the wearer’s abilities.
-Imoogi scale (Unique)
The scale of an Imoogi that emits a deep light. It repels not only metal but also magic.
Special Effect: When crafted into equipment, defense and magic resistance increase by an additional 10%. Additionally, additional effects are added to the equipment depending on the crafter’s skill level.
“Hehe.”
Material items that will make you laugh! I couldn’t tell right away how great the additional effect would be.
But isn’t this the skin and scales of an Imoogi? It seemed like we could at least expect low-level skills.
‘The problem is the blacksmith who will handle the Imoogi leather...’
X nodded his head as soon as there was a creak.
Ulrich, the greatest blacksmith in the human world!
The person who snorted at Amcheol seemed to have enough ability to handle the skin and scales of the Imoogi. Even if there was nothing else, there would not be a blacksmith better than him on the continent.
“It’s the last time.”
Finally, X’s neck vertebrae tilted. In a state of denial of death, no saliva came out to swallow, but I did not forget to pretend to swallow dry saliva anyway.
“Just looking at the exterior, this looks like the main thing...”
What X was holding in his hand was a long, broken tree branch. No, to be exact, it was a staff in the shape of a tree branch. The staff looks like they cut and trimmed a green tree.
‘Is this equipment as expected?’
Equipment spit out by a whopping level 2500 Imoogi!
In that case, even though it was a huge hit, I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. Even if he used basic magic, X was not a wizard. If possible, they preferred weapons that could be cut and wielded.
Still, it seemed like it might be related to some extent. Anyway, it was definitely good news.
Quest items changed from one to two. Because that means the possibility of being connected to a very difficult quest has doubled!
“...Hehehe.”
Is it because the staff has an uncontrollable energy? Uncontrollable laughter comes out of nowhere.
Rattling. Skeleton X’s bizarre bone sound echoed throughout the ship.
*
The end of the world has been conquered, so the bloody voyage has ended without leaving any room.
Shoot! The ship turned its bow towards the Kurula area. The warriors, intoxicated by alcohol, rowed while humming songs.
‘Because I don’t know when I’ll be able to see this spectacle again.’
X wanted to save the wondrous end-of-the-world scene in his mind.
X ascended to the upper level of the ship and lamented as he watched the end of the world getting further and further away.
“It’s also spectacular.”
“What a surprise. “I can’t get used to that look.”
“Well, that’s the same for me.”
Rattling.
X playfully pulled out one of the ribs and shook it at the startled Hunriquel.
There was no way X, who missed even the slightest possibility, would forget Hunriquel.
‘No matter how you look at it, now would be the best time.’
A conversation between Ilex and Hunriquel. Hunrikel had a story connected to the end of the world. That story may be connected to a quest connected to Hunriquel.
X asked coyly.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you for a while, what happened on the bloody voyage 10 years ago? “I was curious to see it still being mentioned.”
The corner of Hunriquel’s mouth went up with difficulty at Ex’s words.
said Hunrikel, gazing at the end of the world.
“There’s no need to hide anything from X. That day, I almost put my colleagues and myself at risk. “I’m obsessed with nothing.”
You almost drove me to my death?
Creak. X focused on a story that was more serious than expected.
Hunriquel continued speaking calmly. Although he did not show it, it was clear that he was suppressing his emotions.
“...I was proud that I was different from others because I had better eyes than others. “He looked at nothing and shouted that there was a new land beyond the end of the world.”
After hearing that, I was able to understand Hunriquel’s words that he almost drove me to my death.
The warriors went to the end of the world as Hunrikel said, and barely escaped being swept away by strong ocean currents and died. That feeling of guilt made the boy Hunriquel shrink.
X, who had been listening quietly, asked.
“So what you saw that day was really in vain?”
“yes?”
“Given your personality, you wouldn’t have said you saw something you didn’t see.”
Hunriquel was dumbfounded.
It was the first time I was asked this question by someone. The warriors made no comment about what happened that day. Except when people like Elex start to argue and argue.
Hunriquel, who was pondering, answered.
“...I couldn’t see anything when I went forward, so I guess I was probably caught up in something and saw nothing. “I was skeptical until now, but I was able to confirm it for sure through this voyage.”
X thought while looking at the sea.
It would be absurd to say that Hunriquel was possessed by something. Was it really necessary to go to the trouble of showing illusions and bewitch only one person, Hunriquel?
X, who was rolling his head, moved his jaw joint.
“So can you tell me exactly what you saw?”
There was no particular meaning.
However, at X’s question, Hunriquel’s eyes suddenly became brighter.
He responded with a more intense voice, as if he could not forget the fantasy he saw that day.
“I saw a very large tree beyond the end of the world. “It seemed like it was far away, but it was a big, majestic tree as if you were looking up at it right in front of your nose.”
A tree?
For a moment before X was shocked, Hunriquel smiled awkwardly.
“And I didn’t tell anyone... Actually, I also saw a giant dragon flying near a giant tree. “I didn’t want to tell you until the end because I thought no one would believe me, but thanks to X, you showed me Yongyong.”
“?!”
Rattling!
For a moment, the bones in X’s back twitched. When he thought of the [Giant Tree] and the dragon, there was one person that crossed his mind.
X, who was reflecting on the words of that unforgettable person, opened his mouth quietly.
“...You didn’t see anything, Hunriquel!”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
