545 Get a New Spirit (6)

* * *

There are obvious coincidences in Kailan.

However, quests related to the main episode are never as coincidental.

That is, there is a clear causal relationship between all events and situations.

And of course, there was definitely a reason why Ian only triggered the hidden quest.

"There is no such thing as useless junk in Kailan. ’

A small piece of iron the size of a child's fist on the table.

This was an ‘ancient piece of iron' that was dropped by the ‘mechanical watchman’ defeated by Ian.

And Ian was an unknown fact, but this ancient piece of iron is not an easy thing to get.

This item was designed to be dropped only for the most contributory user at the party when the Machine Watcher was first killed.

The Guardian Sharon was looking carefully at the piece of iron that Ian had taken out, and he was watching it with an interesting look on his face.

‘What quest will appear...?' ’

It is certain that Hidden Quests will be created as soon as the hidden quests are triggered.

It was only Ian's interest that a quest would be created that would give him some kind of reward.

While Ian was having a pleasant imagination, Charlon finished observing the piece of iron and opened his mouth with a heavy voice.

“This item...... How did you get it? ”

“I got it from a mechanical lookout in the Valley of the Abyss, in the Valley of Storms. ”

After a short pause, Charlon asked again in a solemn voice.

“Hehe, did you get rid of him? ”

“That's right.”

“He couldn't have handled it so easily.... ”

Ian became somewhat curious.

He thinks the Abyss Valley has been cleansed, which means, of course, someone killed the mechanical watchman.

But now Charlon was surprised at the fact that the mechanical watchman had been defeated.

Something's wrong with the Purification of the Abyss and the Defeat of the Machine Watchers.

Ian, who was curious, turned to him again.

“Is there any way we can clear the Abyss Valley without killing it? ”

“Well, it's the best way to get rid of him, but there are other ways. ”

“What's that? ”

“While the altar cleanses the valley, it's only a matter of time before he stops coming. ”

“Aha.”

Charlon picks up a piece of iron from the table and brings it toward the orb in his other hand.

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!

Then the intense resonance resonates, and the gray white light wrapped around the bead begins to surge violently.

Charlon's words resumed.

“I can't believe it, but this stuff is real. ”

“Of course.”

Moreover, his voice was slightly trembling.

“I'm sorry if I misunderstood. You didn't recognize the hero.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar machine sounds.

- Tyring!

- The Gateway to Protection is lifted.

- Charlon has lifted the veil on you.

- +10 Amity with Spirit Guardian ‘Charlon’.

Then I remembered a reward message for the ‘Into the Storm’ quest I had been waiting for.

- You have successfully completed the '(Epic) (Hidden)' Quest!

-1050 transcendent EXP.

-Cover 200,000 Reputation.

- You met special conditions.

-Clear tiers take it to the next level.

-Clear Grade: SS +

- You have been cleared with a rating of -S or higher.

- Gain 100 Spirit Magic Power (Transcension).

- Gain 70 Summoning Magical Power (Transcension).

- You earned the title 'The Abyssal Sentinel (Legendary)’.

In the rewarding message with a rope, Ian's jaws curl up without my knowledge.

The reward for Spirit Magical Power and Summoning Magical Stamina was enormous, especially because it felt good to have received over 1,000 transcendent EXP.

If you want to increase your EXP by more than a thousand, even Ian should have been hunting all day.

Moreover, the reward did not end there.

- You received the item 'Ancient Summon Spirit Magic Cube’.

- You won the 'Fine Elemental Crystal of Flame’ item.

- You won the 'Medium Natural Orb’ item.

Ian's eyes, which confirmed them, curled up.

* * *

“Chesk, why didn't Muel join us? ”

“I don't know. I heard something happened in your guild. I don't think we have enough healers to take on the Dark Abyss. ”

“Well, maybe. ”

“Ralph, by the way. ”

“Huh?"

“You can definitely clear this time, right? ”

“Don't worry, Chesk. The power's not the same as last time. ”

“Well, that, too. ”

The edge of the plain of wind.

At the entrance to the Abyss Valley, a group of people march in a line.

They are the rankers of the American server, leading Ralph and Chesk.

Unlike Ian's group, Ralph and the three others failed in the last 'Into the Storm’ quest trial.

It was because the altar that was purifying the valley stopped and fled out of the dungeon.

Of course, if Ian's group had known they were going to kill the machine watchmen, they would have survived without running away.

Then you will naturally complete the quest.

But the three Ralph Triads, who thought Ian's party had a much lower power than they did, couldn't have considered that assumption.

They thought that all four people, including Ian, had perished, and decided to try to do something about it later.

That's why Ralph and his men return to the valley in full swing.

I had abandoned my desire to exclusive content and created a pool party of over ten elite members.

However, as they enter the Abyss Valley, they begin to feel that something is wrong.

“Ralph, Chesk. ”

“What's the matter, Inisco? ”

“What?”

“Isn't this place a little weird? ”

“What?”

“This is so different from last time. The map itself feels brighter, and the structure has changed a lot. ”

“ ……! ”

“Besides, there aren't any contaminated spirits around, are there? ”

Ralph and Chesk, who were entering the valley thoughtlessly, looked around at Inisco's words.

And their expressions grew stiffer.

“What? Inisco's right. ”

“Th-that's it. In the meantime, did the others complete a quest? ”

“Oh, no way...! ”

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ralph's party speeds up and starts going faster into the valley.

And as soon as we got to the chasm... ….

“Ha.”

“Damn it.”

“Crazy……! ”

The elasticity of the emptiness leaked from three people's mouths at the same time.

It was because there was a bright light coming in from behind the altar that was supposed to be blocked by the black barrier.

Even though it was painful enough that someone had completed the quest first, there was a more hollow reason.

The quest itself disappeared because the quest 'Under the Storm’ was a one-time quest.

In other words, you missed the ‘limited edition’ quest.

In most cases, the rewards of one-time quests were often more generous than those of ordinary quests.

The three who thought the quest had been stolen looked at the white portal while sharpening their teeth.

“Let's hurry inside. ”

“Yes, I don't know what they are, but they've only just completed the quest. ”

They were confident that the quest would be taken away because of their uneasy movements, but they thought that only other content would prevail.

* * *

Of the three items Ian obtained as a quest completion reward, 'Advanced Elemental Crystal of Flame’ was the type of item that he already knew.

The ‘Original Dragon’ elixir that Gripper gave me before entering the Spirit Realm.

The recipe contained an elemental crystal.

Of course, the decision-making of the elements required for the recipe was the grade 'Excellent’, and Ian's grade of the decision-making of the elements was only 'Excellent’.

But Gripper said,

“Get as many elemental crystals as you can. It's also required for recipes to create the 'Original Dragon', but it's also used a lot as an ingredient to create powerful artifacts. ”

As a result, Ian was obscured by the usefulness of an item called "Elemental Crystal."

And the same is true of the 'Ancient Summon Spirit Magic Group'.

Of course, it was a first time item, but even the name of the item was able to infer its use.

But the last item alone was completely unknown what it looked like.

‘The Orb of Medium Nature.... What the hell is that? "

As a result, Ian checked the information window of this item first.

- Medium Mother Nature Orb

Rating: unique (transcendent)

Classification: General Goods

A mysterious orb condensed with powerful natural energy.

If a spirit absorbs this orb, it can quickly gain a large amount of Spirit Power.

* Immediately increases the Spirit's Power by 6,000 when used on a Spirit.

“ ……! ”

After checking the item's information window, Ian immediately opened his eyes.

"6,000 Spirits at a time?" ’

Reading the item information pane made sense because of the value of the item 'The Bead of Nature’.

‘Wait, let's think.... That's 5,000 spiritual strength he needed to evolve, right? ’

Currently, the Intermediate Spirit, Zheng Yi, needs a total of 5,000 Spirits to evolve into a Superior Spirit.

And the amount of spirit it took to evolve a lesser spirit into an intermediate spirit was 1,000.

That is to say, if you feed this Orb of Nature to the lower spirit, you become a higher spirit immediately.

As Ian understands how difficult it is to evolve spirits, he only thinks it's a great item.

"Awesome! I need to save this for now. If you get a Squad Spirit, use it immediately. ’

Ian hurriedly checked the next item.

It was a high-level elemental decision and I didn't need to check it out, but the ‘Ancient Summon Spirit Wizard’ needed to see specific information.

- Ancient Summon Spirit Mage

Rank: Legend (transcendent)

Category: Scroll

A magic scroll containing the ‘Ancient Summon Spirit Magic'.

Tearing the item creates a magic circle in the air and can summon a random attribute spirit.

* Randomly summons the lowest ~ Greater Spirit.

* Increases the chance of summoning Military Spirits by 30 percent.

* When a Military Spirit is summoned, a Minor Spirit is summoned unconditionally.

* Including an 'Essence of Attribute’ in the Magic Cube increases the chance that the Spirit of that attribute will appear (different probabilities apply depending on the grade of the integer).

* A one-time item that will disappear once used.

A mysterious parchment piece that emits a golden energy.

Ian's eyes began to twinkle, checking all the item information.

‘So many people say. A clue to summoning the Four Legions was in Charlon. ’

In a way, the item that Ian needed the most was this' ancient spirit summon sorcerer ’.

What he wanted most in the spirit world was a Legion Spirit.

Among them, Ian desires a Wind Spirit or Fire Spirit that can grow into a Spirit King.

This magic group was the perfect fit for Ian.

If you use the detailed options at the bottom of the info window well, you can get the Spirit of the desired attribute.

Ian once again squeezed the parchment piece by chewing on the fine options.

‘Let's see……. If you want to get Fire or Wind Spirits, you need to put in the Essence of that attribute. ’

Although it feels similar, 'Essence of Attribute’ and ‘Elemental Crystal’ are different items.

Both are items that can be obtained by defeating Spirit Spirit Spirits, but the 'Essence’ was much more common than the 'Crystal’ and the use was completely different.

Originally, this‘ essence ’was used to absorb from the Spirit of that attribute and increase the Spirit's power.

‘And I have the higher essence of fire. ’

The essence of a higher attribute obtained by completing the 'Defeat Machine Watchers’ quest.

Its attribute was fire, and Ian didn't hesitate anymore.

I didn't know when I would get a higher grade essence anyway.

“Sharon.”

“Speak.”

“This sorcery……. Can I use it here now? ”

When Ian asked, Charlon nodded and smiled.

“Of course. If you use it in this spiritual sanctuary, a great spirit will surely be summoned. ”

“I see.”

“And I'm also curious. What kind of spirit responds to the call of the hero who defeated the Machine Watcher? ”

Ian nods his head, slowly empowering both hands holding the parchment.

Then the piece of parchment that glowed in golden light was torn lengthwise...

Yikes!

At the same time, a swarm of white light begins to gush out.
