Chapter 88: Blooming in the Swamp (5)

Chapter 88: Blooming in the Swamp (5)

From the time Arcana was a game.

For the players, spirits were a fantasy being.

Does a spirit really exist?

If anyone had seen it, it would have already been uploaded on Nettube.

What, wouldnt it be like throwing away content? After raising expectations just by the mention of it. A new class elementalist will appear in the new update!

They naturally thought that way.

Well, even if players hadnt witnessed the spirit.

It was clear that spirits existed even if there were no players with classes related to spirits. The stories told by books and NPCs were proof of it,

By the way, when is the update going to be made?

Theres no such record this week or this time either.

No, wait. I havent changed jobs and Ive been waiting for months.

But it was a long way off the mark.

As it had been told, spirits existed.

It was a rare existence that only a few people could witness.

Naturally, interest in spirits couldnt help but gradually cool down.

Not to mention after Arcana became reality.

Ruptures appeared and monsters roamed in the reality.

Spirits that they didnt even know existed?

It was like catching clouds.

Breaking news just came in. An unidentified message came up from the rupture. I will deliver the message to the viewers now!

Indeed.

Until this message popped up to the players who entered the rupture.

Predators Swamp.

[Someone has signed a contract with a spirit.]

Someone had signed a contract with a spirit.

No, it would have been hard to fight. What do you mean a contract!?

Its not an ordinary contact, too. Its a contract with a spirit. The spirit that only grew content!

For those of us who are just watching, this is hard news to believe.

In the Predators Swamp that was no different from the Coliseum.

Who was the one who signed with the spirit?

It wasnt that hard to guess.

Wasnt there only one person?

Swampland.

Endless mud fight.

Among them, like a lotus flower that bloomed in the swamp.

There was a player who was on his own.

It was Lee Hoyeol.

Look! I told you there was definitely something, didnt I?

Who was Lee Hoyeol?

He was a player who returned intact from a 900~1,000 recommended level rupture. Lee Hoyeol probably didnt simply seek out the predator rupture for experience points like other players.

In fact, didnt everyone guess it the moment he brought up the stairs??

So everyone was really looking forward to it

But this is more than what I expected?

I never thought it would be a spirit

The pouring chat felt the same way.

This wasnt just another player. It was Lee Hoyeol.

Their expectations heightened.

And as if those expectations were natural.

Lee Hoyeol responded.

Player Lee Hoyeol never disappoints!

Predators Swamp rupture.

Players who checked the message themselves were no different.

No, if the viewers were surprised, they would have been more surprised.

He signed a contract with a spirit?

No, seriously! Swordsmanship is not enough, so its a spirit now?!?

Stop whining. What are these messages that keep appearing?

In the series of messages that appeared.

The content was unusual.

[The spirit king of the forest, Dryad, blesses the contract.]

[The blessing of the spirit king of the forest, Dryad, dwells in the Predators Swamp.]

[The experience gained in the Predators Swamp increases by 20 percent.]

[The value of the loot earned in the Predators Swamp increases by 20 percent.]

The blessing of the spirit king.

The effect of blessing was an increase in experience and loot drop rate.

It was the rarest buff since Arcana was a game. Even the players, who were familiar with Arcanas system at a higher level.

E-Experience and drop rate increase buff?

Its a buff Ive only seen once or twice.

A 20 percent increase, not a 10 percent increase?

Youve done an amazing thing again, Lee Hoyeol!

They couldnt help but make a fuss.

He was just guessing.

Rox let out a laugh.

You really surpassed my guess.

Indeed, as big as the level gap between them.

There must be a gap between his and Lee Hoyeols eye level.

Naturally, the picture they saw was bound to be different.

Wow. I never thought of it. As expected!

Nam Taemin uttered in pure admiration.

Still, he prided himself on knowing more about Hoyeol than other players. It seemed that Hoyeols vessel was much bigger than he thought.

A contract with a spirit? All of a sudden?

It was hard to get a cup of tea, seriously.

Was it because of the message or was it because of the madness of the berserker?

Leonies face was full of energy.

Everyone had a different relationship with Hoyeol.

Naturally, each person responded to the message differently.

But one thing was clear.

Someone in the message was clearly Lee Hoyeol.

Besides, I checked the message.

The congratulatory message contained the blessings of the spirit king of the forest, Dryad.

Experience and drop rate increase buffs.

Because the blessing was given to the [Predators Swamp].

Other players enjoyed the same effect.

If I hesitated even if just a little, there wouldnt be any monsters left.

It was a waste of time to whine and blame my weakness.

Yeah, if I was lacking in level, I could just raise it.

If it was a level of magic that couldnt be reached just by leveling up.

I could reach it by chewing and swallowing the bi-herbs.

In other words, I had plenty of possibilities.

The moment I thought so.

Flap

The nymph flew gracefully toward the mistletoe.

If you need this four-colored mistletoe.

?

I will bless it.

Bless it?

Why a blessing all of a sudden?

My knowledge of spirits was only scratching the surface.

However, no detailed explanation was needed.

Caress

Just once.

The nymph only caressed the mistletoe.

Gooo

The light of the four-colored mistletoe became clearer.

!

As the mistletoe grew, its light grew deeper.

[The Pentagram of Pure Knowledge.]

The knowledge of all the plants in the Arcana continent that I acquired through it.

This, perhaps?

And I witnessed it there.

How to Grow Bi-Herbs

The direction of the research with tremendous potential value!

*

Tap tap

The sound of shoes came from above.

The waiting Nettubers swallowed their dry saliva.

Lee Hoyeol. No, it seems Hoyeol-nim is coming down!

There were also stations that broadcasted the streaming of the Nettubers in real time.

Spirits had been treated as a fantasy being.

A situation in which the true nature of the spirit was revealed.

It obviously would be a topic of high ratings.

Not only that.

Who signed with the spirit?

It was Lee Hoyeol.

Real-time ratings exceeded 15 percent!

That expectation was showing up in ratings.

Still, knowledge about the spirits was widely known through Arcanas books or word of mouth.

Thanks to this, some people saw the situation realistically.

It is said that high-ranking spirits dont easily reveal themselves, regardless of their abilities.

Even if its Player Lee Hoyeol were talking about, it cant be easy to sign with a high-ranking spirit.

Thats right. But what does rank matter? Isnt it important that hes the first player to sign a contract with a spirit?

Of course, such opinions.

The moment Hoyeol appeared, those opinions disappeared.

The appearance of the winged spirit.

Elegance flowed from every movement.

T-Thats the spirit?

Whats with the halo?

Thats beyond pretty, its gorgeous.

Her appearance was so strong that it didnt fade even when she was next to Hoyeol.

What it meant was simple.

Someone made a fuss and opened their mouth.

That spirit, no matter how you see it, its a high-ranking spirit, no, its at the level of the spirit king?!

.

.

.

Stare

I could feel the gaze from everywhere.

The nymph opened her mouth.

I see, Hoyeol-nim is in a place like this.

Then she went on gracefully.

I will also get used to this kind of gaze as a contract spirit.

You, you have been properly stained by Grandfel.

But her words were wise.

Because this guys personality wouldnt change.

That meant it would be easier for the nymph to be the one who adjusted.

Of course, the focused gazes are none of my business.

Like I said.

I was a busy man.

Unlike those rankers, my level was poor.

In other words, each minute and each second of the experience value and drop rate buff were regrettable.

So I didnt hesitate.

This was the predator zone where the battles never ended.

I took out my sword at once.

[Level: 324]

Im still hungry for experience points!
