How the Villain Lives

43. Endless labyrinth.

'This is an opportunity!'

The best reward didn't just mean good performance. What you need from someone who is starving to death right away is a meal, not a sword. Do we need a book with fresh-grade magic on it?

I also like the reward that this man said. At least it is better than nothing, so it will be helpful in some way later. However, simply picking items that increase stats is much better than picking items that you can use.

[Is there something you really want?]

When I asked if there was anything I wanted, Sung-hoon had to think about it for a while. What do you really need and lack right now?

'It's a sword. You can dance with Nubora. I'd rather be in the middle of a term or a fallopian chamber than learn a more advanced technique than I do now. Spells have a high wisdom stat, so you can push them with sheep and power. Then what I don't have right now...'

Of course, everything is lacking for Sung-hoon. To the strong, magic to the white, skill to Mirina, and Jack Apron, who overwhelms himself in all respects, and Arben, who I saw last time. But I didn't intend to defeat them by using evil.

The strength of the toprankers is because they dug only one path. It is impossible for a gifted person to go beyond their borders with ordinary efforts. Then, it was the Holy Spirit's idea to increase all his abilities equally, since he was using all kinds of evil in one field. The more disciplines you know and the more things you can do, the more you can use them in a variety of situations.

"Show me your sword… and skills."

[It won't be a problem.]

Grunt!

Glub!

When I looked at the swords and books that could only be explained that they literally appeared suddenly, Seong Hun swallowed a drowsiness. It was like a disposable cheap sword and a lowly skill book, but when I saw a book with a luxurious decoration attached to it and a subtle light, Sung-hoon carefully reached out to it.

[Ilsum ( )]

[Yollin Sword ()]

"... That's amazing."

I only checked the top two things, but I couldn't help but wonder about Sung-hoon who checked his grades. One Island is a Legendary skill and Yollindo is a Legendary intermediate weapon. Moreover, performance standards are also complied with. One Island is a sword that specializes in Strike-through and Yollin Blade defensive skills that increase the power of the skill based on AGI points, allowing it to cancel all kinds of damage by half.

[Very good. One Island can't expect much against a strong one, but it's good for stabbing the other's vote. Those who are not as skilled as they are, or who are not as fast as they are, can be finished with a single sword. I don't like it when it comes to Yongin Sword, but when it comes to wizards and wizards, it was quite helpful.]

"Have you written everything here yourself?"

[Absolutely. All the items in my grave were collected that I wanted to use during the time I was protecting the rainforest. Isn't it amazing?]

"Yes, I see. You have collected such powerful items and skills."

[Large]

Sung-hoon, who replied with a not so bold attitude, was distracted by the objects in front of his eyes and was looking hard at them. The owner of the voice that looked at him. The cheek felt a bit bitter and coughed.

If you were a Muslim, you would think it was a lifetime of honor to talk to yourself like this, but people like this user were only interested in Jabbo right in front of their eyes. I wanted to give it a little awkward because I felt like it, but now I am tied to the contract. After all, I was forced to look at him quietly.

[Green Oxygen Sword], [Solitary Old Sword], [Song Moon Blue Sword], [Thousand Devil Sword]

[Yellow Kidney], [Golden Rifle], [Taeherdo Dragon Sword], [Taeho Tribe Sword]

Both swords and skills had a unique name that would appear in a narrative. In the city, we rarely find these things. Although most of the items were simple expressions followed by simple nouns such as swords, Swords, and Shields, items that appeared in mythology, history, and legends were likely to be legendary items, no matter how low they were.

After searching for all kinds of items, Sung-hoon was able to choose the item that was best.

Cherry Drink Sword

Rating: Fresh ()

Type: Longsword

A mythical unmanned creature who has reached the limit of evil as a human being and looked beyond it. This is the sword that all beings feared for their entire lives. Throughout my life, I have had special powers thanks to my strength and all sorts of strange things.

E. Attribute retention.

Reduces internal air consumption by 30% when using the skill.

Increases Power by 30% when using the skill.

Do not consume internal air in a certain chance when using E (+) type skills.

Inflicts less pressure on enemies than the total stats of the user.

Increases all stats by 10% when dealing with enemies higher than the total stats of the user.

Steal 1% of the opponent's Magic when defeating an enemy.

All stats +150.

Can be used once a week with Manmaang Bok skill.

You can gain 1.2 times more power by using the Cherry Horseman skill.

A sword of the same grade as the sword of Arben Pragarach that I saw last time. Both of them have their own pros and cons, but they still have the ability to hide their superiority. It's a fresh-grade sword that Sung-hoon wanted so much.

[Thousand Ma Gunrimbo ( )]

Rating: Legend ()

Type: Remuneration

A strong man doesn't have to run around with Chong Chong to catch an enemy. Just one step, one step at a time, the weak can't even move because they're scared. That's what the real absolute looks like.

Slows enemies within a certain range.

You can walk up to six steps, and the more times you overlap, the stronger your power to bind enemies.

Currently, if you consider what is lacking in Sung-hoon, it can be called compensation. No matter how many warriors I have downstream, I'm learning to look for one or two. If you can say quick-step or illusion-step as well.

'I tried to learn how to do it before, but...'

Obviously, it would not have been difficult to obtain a skill that would have been useful if Sung-hoon had the financial power. Nevertheless, the reason for not acquiring skills related to maintenance so far was simple. It was because it didn't fit your style.

Remediation has its own characteristics, but it can melt well, mostly without interfering with the naked eye or skills. However, in the case of the Holy Spirit, it is different. Basically, what Sung-hoon is using is' dance ', not martial arts. It is only by spreading it with skills and momentary changes, that the uniqueness disappears and becomes tangible.

[You both picked a good one. It's the sword I used when I was a black man, and it's a piece of jewelry made of cardiovascular material. Whatever you choose, you'll never lose.]

'What would he choose?'

Whatever you choose, it's about winning the gain. But if you look at it in more detail, the story is completely different.

Why is freshness the best reward for an item and legend the best reward for a skill? The reason is simple. Because the skill is much more valuable than the item.

Legendary Swords, weapons of gods, and tricks with unusual abilities are clearly powerful, but their limits are set. On the other hand, in the case of skills, power becomes infinite depending on the owner's ability. That's why skills are so much harder to acquire.

Sung-hoon didn't even think about it. Rather, I felt a stronger charm towards the sword.

'I can't do better than a Rune Blade, but I still have the option to increase the power of the skill. There are skills available to keep up with stat increases and replace Hell Fires. Plus freshman.'

Almost 99% were drawn to swords. However, Sung-hoon, who was about to raise his sword, unconsciously stopped his hand.

"Argh."

'Fresh Intermediate and Legend Intermediate. It's not even worth comparing.'

There is no supernatural nature in Seonghun. With that, you can climb to the next level of Legend. The next thing I knew, it was the future. Obviously, it is desperately needed by the new-grade Black Hun now. I don't have enough Rune Blades to deal with a strong man like Arben and Jack Apron.

But it seems more desperate than that. At least after a dark time, there's another chance to save it somehow, but the trick isn't. To be precise, you will not be able to obtain compensation twice without affecting your own way of combat.

Then Sung-hoon closed his eyes and put down his sword.

"I'll do it with this."

[You picked something not bad. But is it really okay with that? Maybe I can't get it back unless my black ass gets a chance like this.]

"Maybe we don't have a chance to get this back. This is enough."

[... I see. Then this is the end. Oh, and just in case, I'd like to say that it was a big mistake to try again with relief that I made it through here. The gateway you passed is no longer coming out.]

'Too bad.'

If possible, I would have used Eli several times and cleared the mission. Unfortunately, however, it was not possible to play with bugs that exploited the loopholes in such systems.

'No, wait. That's not what I meant just now.'

"Are you stopping us because we passed through this gateway in a way? If not.."

[A class mission is over once you clear it. In a case like this, there are several gateways that are a little unusual, so you can get three more challenges in the future, but ordinary missions, except special ones, end up with them when someone clears them. It's gone completely.]

"Wait! I want to ask you more…."

[Unfortunately, I can't tell you anymore. Your behavior is quite interesting. I will continue to watch you walk. Survive until the end, Hahaha.]

Faaaaah!

"… there is. Are you chewing a horse in the middle? I'm only gonna ask you a few more questions."

After checking out the waiting room landscape of the mission area, which had become familiar for decades and hundreds of times, Seong Hun complained in return. As soon as he learned that he had returned to the city, he returned to his usual appearance. Before going out, Sung-hoon quickly acquired the skills of Thousand Horsemen to avoid unknown conflicts.

'Of course I don't think so, but there may be a story about compensation. Ellie might find something suspicious, but she doesn't have any proof, so what do you do?'

It's you. You got the Legend Skill, but everyone else has a little stat. Of course, clearing a Class A mission was the goal at the beginning, but anyone would be a little uncomfortable without any reward. It was a quick action to stop it.

With that in mind, Sung-hoon came out of the room and succeeded in acting brilliantly face-to-face with people who had no idea what was going on. Suddenly, the first monster I saw appeared while being stunned by a powerful group. The moment I defeated the monster, I looked around and said the mission was over. Of course, I was somewhat skeptical, but because of the surprising news that immediately came to me, it was buried in the middle of nowhere.

"Only three days left?!"

"Yes. People who just went on a mission together have returned, but they have been isolated for a long time because of extreme anxiety, such as repeated labyrinths. Did you fail the mission?"

"... No, that's not it. All right, back off."

"Old!"

I was preparing in advance, but since I had been out of town for over a month, unlike I thought there would be quite a commotion, the time outside was only three days and a little more.

"You're a ghost who wails."

"Isn't it amazing that you came and went to another world in the blink of an eye? Compared to that, time makes a difference. It's not an algebra."

It was a surprise, but it wasn't a bad thing, so everyone noticed it convincingly. When I noticed that all of my men were dead, I revealed a bit of emotional agitation, but the toprankers finally survived to the end and kept their mouths shut without telling me that they had cleared the mission.

'After all, all you get from this mission is the fulfillment of the conditions for 3rd Awakening, stats, and materials of steel.'

One thing is not light. In particular, the drop of steel was sold at a fairly high price, so not everyone was satisfied, but they no longer talked about the loot, whether they could be convinced. It was a situation to be thankful for once we survived.

"Sung-hoon. Look me in the eye and say, Did something really happen?"

"What happened? You think I'm hiding something?"

"… No."

Eli kicked his tongue short and retreated as he looked at Sung-hoon, who was looking unfair.

'Sung-hoon Hyung, if this is the only reward, then some schedules are chaotic and sound like they're dying. But this time, I just boldly moved on. He must have taken something from someone else.'

'Dammit. I think I lost my skill. I should have acted a little more aggressively. Shall we do it now? No, I think I should try it now. Is this an ally or an enemy?'

After a while, he was forced to rot his head because he was acting in Eli's blatant thoughts.
