Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Seol was currently in Nobiras Class Training Center.

It was a place that Seol would probably have to visit every time he took a Rest until his skills hit max level.

The Black Magic Training Center treated him quite poorly but Seol didnt mind. He didnt plan on staying in Nobira for a long time anyway.

This way.

Okay.

The woman led Seol into a pitch-black, windowless room.

Fortunately for Seol, they seemed to have been taking good care of the room as it didnt smell at all.

Creak

Click.

When the door closed, a glowing tree grew out in the dark space.

The first thing that caught Seols eyes was Shadow Summon which had hit level 3.

As expected from his core skill, countless branches were stemming from it.

Seol didnt even give a glance to his other skills. He only focused on the branches stemming from Shadow Summon.

Since I only have 2 skill points I could either learn a new skill or enhance a skill other than Shadow Summon

Even though Seol could learn a new skill right now, he was comfortable with the skills he already had.

Since Seol couldnt learn any skills that would create a massive impact with just 2 skill points, he decided to push back learning a new skill for later.

[You enhance Passive: Enhance Summons.]

[You use 2 skill points.]

[Your summons stats increase by 10%.]

Since the previous level increased his summons stats by 5%, it was likely that this skill increased his summons stats by 5% with each increase.

For a skill that only took 2 skill points to enhance, it was quite a significant difference.

However, this also meant that his summons stats accounted for a large portion of Seols strength. Luckily for Seol, he had another way to supplement it as well.

A treasure that would increase his summons stats by an entire 15%.

The shadow venom was a problem, yes, but that was soon about to be an issue of the past.

Seol finished enhancing his skills and returned to the outbuilding.

Creak

When Seol opened the door, what greeted him was the disgusting smell of the food he hadnt finished cleaning yet.

He quickly cleaned up the scraps and picked up the large pot that had been on the fire. He then placed the pot on the table.

Inside the pot was the shadow venoms antidote, or more accurately, a liquid that was pretty much the poisonous herbs poison.

Seol placed Gallottas Tongue into it.

Fssss

A black fog rose up from the pot.

Since even breathing in that fog could poison you, Seol opened up all of the windows and doors before stepping outside. He sat down in the garden right outside the outbuilding.

And after a few hours

When Seol noticed that no smell was coming from his outbuilding anymore, he went inside to check the pot he placed on the table.

He washed off the poison in flowing water and dried Gallottas Tongue in the harsh sunlight.

- Excuse me, is this a housewifes daily routine stream?

- Do you guys not know about combat resting?! You cant just do nothing because its a holiday! Go and dry your blankets off, immediately!

Why does time always go slowly when youre waiting for something?

Seol waited a few hours for Gallottas Tongue to completely dry.

And finally, the reaction he was waiting for came.

Gloooow

The whip glowed in a black hue.

There had been a change.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

Seol then lifted the whip.

Damage: 42

Durability: 68/68

- Increasing your summons stats really is overpowered, huh

- Percent Damage, Increased Damage, Percent Increase to Stats this is broken!

- Its hard to go on Adventures with stats like this too? What is wrong with the games balance LMFAO

- A world where you die if youre weak! Only the strong will survive!

Most transferees would be in shock if they knew what Seol and his summons stats were.

Even if they were the same levels, because of the difference in equipment and titles, the gap between them would be immeasurable.

It was also the reason why Great White Shark was so one-sidedly ripped in half by Jamad.

Fuuu

It took a lot of hard work to reach this point. He practically sprinted to this point without ever taking a break.

There were many moments where he was close to death and tons of situations where others wouldve given up if they were in his position.

But in the end, Seol was able to survive and did everything to his plan. Right now, in this moment, Seol was the victor.

Madness was also more important than I thought. I need to catch their attention to be stronger, is that right?

Seol looked at the wolf head ring on his finger.

With his last purchase at the Madness Shop, Seol was able to acquire this ring, purify Gallottas Tongue, buy the Black Ghosts Shroud, and make the Jelly From a Cloudy Day.

I guess I should try thinking like I wont be able to be ahead of the others if I only choose the normal methods?

Luckily for Seol, he could definitely be more special than anyone else.

He was sure that Kodon, the god who sent him, also had the same expectations of him.

I should try to be louder from here on.

Seol smiled, seeing the visible achievement right in front of him. He then left the outbuilding, knowing what he had to do next.

And when Seol left his outbuilding, a few people were secretly trailing after him.

* * *

It was dark out. People were gathered in a secret location.

Their leaders, Kibo and Shur, managed them.

Is everyone here?

Yes! And no one trailed us either!

Theres a lot of you.

Kibo thought it was a blessing that Shur even showed up.

Kibo worried about what would happen if Shur decided to side with Heka and Doju but thanks to his swift actions, Shur stayed resolute.

Todays the day, said Shur.

...Today is the day.

Yeah, we cant continue this uncomfortable coexistence forever.

I-Is it really going to be alright when Heka and Dojus factions have more people?

Were stronger individually. Theres also no one on Hekas side who knows how to use their head.

After that, the two parties talked about their plans.

No, well lose if we do that. We have to hit Doju first.

You must be out of your mind! Do you think Heka would just sit still? Hekas faction is much stronger!

Dojus faction has quite a number of dangerous people, though. Were at a bigger disadvantage if theyre the ones who we hit second.

Mira let out a big sigh.

The ruin hunter factions in Nobira were about to face each other in an all-out battle tonight.

If someone asked Mira why they couldnt just coexist, she would think they were fools.

Well die if we get pushed back from here.

Whichever faction ended up being the stronger, smarter faction would rule all of the ruin hunters in Nobira.

Fuuu

She couldnt calm down.

It felt like someone was walking on a tightrope right on top of her heart.

She could feel better if she relaxed and eased her tension, but she could do something like that before the battle was over.

She also knew that Kibo only made this decision because many other transferees, excluding her, also agreed to participate. The transferees were trying to stop Hekas wicked acts.

Mira was thankful for the transferees though.

The force that they gathered today was probably the best they could do.

The ruler of Noibra will be decided tonight. Concentrate, Mira. You have to protect Kibo, thought Mira.

But then

BAM!

Gasp Gasp Kibo, Shur

The heated atmosphere instantly cooled down the moment one of the faction members bursted through the door.

What is going on?! shouted Kibo.

When Kibo shouted, the person took a deep breath before continuing,

Gasp Hekas faction made a move. Th-theres a fight in the bar on 3rd Street! Well, to be more precise, it hasnt happened yet, but

A fight? With who? Everyones here though?

W-Well I didnt get a good look but it was a man with golden eyes who had a dangerous aura about him

Kibo understood what that meant right away and let out a howl.

He didnt need to think long to realize that the person who was fighting Heka was Snowman, the person he traded with.

The mysterious man who helped him he was aiming for this.

Were immediately going to send the main force to hit Doju! Mira!

Yes!

I want you to go to 3rd Street with Jirmo and a handful of other members! If its him, Im sure hes still hanging in there!
