Chapter 296: If it’s for me (2)



Call of the Wild: Awaken your true wildness, and your wildness will rise dramatically.

A unique skill acquired shortly after starting a class quest.

Nam Taemin had already reached the [Call of the Wild] proficiency mastery.

It was a tremendous achievement.

Of course, there was a good reason for that achievement.

'I thought I was going to die, really.'

A heavy burden of honor.

To share it, he needed the strength to carry it.

He was the one who risked his life every time to acquire that ability. It's not just words. Wasn't the evidence revealed in such a sword?

He recalls the words of his mentor, Harkon.

-"Keep this in mind, gentlemen. The sword becomes thicker in a life-threatening struggle."

Less than 600 levels.

The appropriate level for him was 800.

The fact that he was able to take on the enormous cave right before the boss.

It was due to the influence of sword energy.

'If it wasn't for Sword Energy, I wonder if I would have been able to deal with it?'

Of course, there's another way.

"Call of the Wild...."

Barbarian's unique skill.

[Call of the Wild] amplified the unique stat [Wildness] and greatly increased his physical abilities. However, the penalty for activating it was that you lost your sanity.

He literally became a beast.

'To the point where I can't even emit sword energy.'

If only I could use [Call of the Wild] and []Sword Energy at the same time.... At the thought of reaching such a level, Nam Taemin couldn't help but clench his fists.

'If I could, I wouldn't bother Hoyeol with this.'

He felt that he had already hit a wall.

No new [Class Quests] came to mind. Even the [Call of the Wild] skill, his only goal, had reached its limit. It was no wonder he felt like he had lost his purpose.

'That doesn't mean I can't refine my sword skills....'

This was because he was walking down a path that was completely opposite to the barbarian path he had built so far. Because of this, Nam Tae-min sometimes fell into agony even in moments like these.

Sigh-

"This is not the time, Nam Taemin."

Wasn't Mr. Hoyeol giving him his precious time?

"You really seem to think twice as much as everyone else."

He marveled again.

It's not enough that Hoyeol defeated a great evil in such a short time.

Hoyeol even stopped by the Blue House and cleaned up a bunch of corrupt politicians.

'Really, how far are you thinking?'

When Taemin thought about it.

His mind was spinning as he remembered his own shortcomings, but he shook it off.

Kuddeuk!

With a loud crash, the cave's boss mob appeared.

[Twisted Root of the Ancient Tree: Lv.900]

If you're wondering why there's a level 900 boss in a dungeon that's supposed to be level 800, it's because this boss has an unusual pattern.

Nam Cheolmin briefs us.

-"Its health and armor are abnormally high for its level, and its massive size means that it can only swing its roots, not move, but it has a huge attack radius."

Nam Taemin bit his lip.

'With my sword energy....'

It could only produce a small raw slash.

Even if he abandoned his sword energy and activated [Call of the Wild], it didn't make much difference. He snapped off a few branches, but that wasn't much against a creature bigger than a building.

- "Taemin, what are you thinking about?"

"Huh? No, nothing."

-"Nothing."

They're not brothers for nothing.

Nam Cheolmin can tell just by listening to his sullen voice.

Nam Cheolmin comforted his discouraged brother.

- "Everything takes time, right? Don't be impatient, Taemin."

Of course he knew.

He was just worried.

Even if there was enough time.

'If you don't have a clear goal....'

He decided to move forward.

He wondered if he could follow Hoyeol's lead.

There are concerns.

"....."

But at this moment in the cave.

Make the dark future bright.

A being that makes concerns unfounded.

There was Dawn.

Nam Taemin's eyes follow the movement of that dawn, Hoyeol.

"It's not Sword Energy..., it's Sword Force...!"

Sword Force, the higher level of Sword Energy.

He had been taught by Harkon that it existed.

He also knew that Hoyeol had reached the level of sword force.

Yes, there was a reason why Nam Taemin was surprised.

'That's not pure sword force.'

You only see what you know.

In the past, Nam Taemin didn't even know the existence of sword energy, let alone sword

[Rank: Unique] [Limit: None]

[Effect: None]

[Description: The base of a giant tree. It's already decayed, but it holds a lot of energy. If you

build something with it, it will become a masterpiece, and if you craft something with it, it

will become a masterpiece].

A material item.

"Should I be thankful for this?

If a level 900 restricted item that matched the boss's level dropped.

There must have been no difference in the picture.

Now that I've realized the 700-level barrier, I'll be happy instead of sad.

'I can have dwarves do the smelting.'

Items forged by Dwarves have the Artisan's Dexterity effect.

This means that you can use your dexterity to craft wear restrictions to your advantage.

So.

'What should I make so that people can say that I used it well....?'

Just as I was thinking about it.

Nam Taemin approached me.

Why does he have such a strange face...?

"Thank you, Mr. Hoyeol!"

Nodding-

Why the sudden bow?

Is it because I defeated the boss mob?

I got all the experience points and loot?

There's no reason to be so grateful.

I thought to myself.

When Nam Taemin raised his head, I opened my mouth.

First, I shamelessly admitted it.

"I'm glad I could help."

I also noticed something.

Nam Taemin was obviously touched.

I didn't have to ask why.

"How can I repay you for this valuable teaching...."

Teachings.

I thought it would be helpful.

I didn't intend to teach properly.

Surely, Ranker isn't Ranker for nothing, finding something to learn from every action, right? I

nodded, never one to shy away from humility.

But the surprises didn't end there.

...Are you saying they aren't brothers for nothing?

Mr. Nam Cheolmin, why are you doing this to me again?!

"The results of your education are showing, Commander-in-Chief!"

After clearing the cave and returning to the Great Alliance's base camp, Nam Cheolmin runs

up to me, panting. He holds out a tablet, a video playing on its screen.

I'm stunned to see the title.

[Excalibur's Chosen One, Lee Hoyeol].

Eh, Excalibur?

I was the chosen one?

When?!

Did he read my mind?

A difficult magic that manifests and draws a sword from a rock in real time. RRegardless of

the sword's performance. I thought it was like pulling out Excalibur with the foam threads of

the Granfell combined...

'How could you take that and put it as the title of a video?!'

What kind of education is that, beyond amazement.

I want to ask why you gave it such a grand name.

But as expected, there is no way this iron-faced person can remain silent.

"Excalibur is an understatement."

It is an expression of supreme confidence.

The implication is that he has a higher level of magic than Excalibur.

Of course, it's a Grandfell style of speech that specializes in misleading.

"...!!!"

Everyone gasps.

Everyone's eyes widen, including the Nam brothers.

Nam Cheolmin barely opens his mouth.

"I'm sorry, commander. Due to my lack of knowledge, I underestimated your power, but...! I

think you can rest assured. The response from education is clear."

The tablet screen soon switches.

What popped up on the LCD was a comment.

I scanned through the comments and realized.

-Excalibur hahahahahaha

-Liu Zunqun I guess it's like adding insult to injury haha.

-Kyahahahaha this is the difference in class.

-Know your subject, please.

'No, this is what you mean by education?!'

When I overcome one trial, another trial comes.

Why is the world so harsh on me?

I really can't keep a straight face...!
