Level Up

< Path to Imperial Palace 3 >

Chuckle! Chuckle! Crisp!

At the same time, the stone shifts its sword to precisely destroy the core of the vessel, avoiding the spear of the vessel. At the same time, the sound of the vessel's body turning to dust echoes in succession.

Fluffy.

Hyun-seok sat down. And he breathed.

“Huff! Huff! Huff!”

This fight was really hard.

In fact, the fight itself was not long, and the workshop did not take much.

But it was harder than any fight I've ever had.

‘It's already this way...... Now that there's still another gate...' ’

Anyway, I won this fight. It has been a huge part of my research and training in magical patterns all this way.

Hyun-Seok suddenly wondered if we could come together with several of these invisibility dungeons.

But soon, I shook my head.

Any player with a clumsy skill could only get in the way.

It could be helpful if several people who were close to the stone, namely, those skilled around the stone and the stone.

‘But then, the training and research of the magical patterns would not have been in parallel. ’

Can we ask them to redo the magic pattern that they just achieved?

It was hard to say that I could be confident. However, if there is anything else I need to write, I will write it without hesitation.

And we're gonna make it work.

Because if you don't, you'll die.

Hyundai got up from his seat and just walked to the place where the courage had become dust and scattered.

A large stable is lying on the floor.

And there was a sword made of bones. I was in the ground with just a handle, but the vibe was unusual.

The mind of the stone automatically read the sword's name and information.

[Sword of Megeloo]

[A sword used by courageous Megelou. He made a piece of the Dragon Heart that he used to play. A sword made by the best Imperial master Keluan over three years. Strength +30, Agility +30, HP +50. You can get a new title if you are recognized by the sword.]

‘Sword recognition? Was there such a thing? ’

He tilts his head and grabs the sword and pulls it out.

Aaaaah!

There was intense light all over the place.

When the light disappeared, the world changed. Hyundai could intuitively see that this was the test.

The place where the stone stood was in the middle of the desert. All I could see was sand.

As I stood there for a moment to understand the situation, a distant figure appeared and began to approach me slowly.

The heat in the desert was enormous. The hot heat distorts the view and makes things look distant shake like a haze.

The closer something got, the clearer the shape became.

It was a huge easy.

As you get closer, you see someone riding on top of the dragon.

‘No way...... Is fighting him a test? ’

Hyun-seok did a power analysis first. Hyundai's ability to conceive is almost as powerful as deception.

However, I was embarrassed when I tried to use my mind.

Doesn't it work for you? ’

Hyun-seok quickly calls out his status window. But I didn't even think of that.

The mind is perfectly sealed.

I didn't even feel the flow of magic. I felt like I was thrown naked in the middle of the desert.

I was embarrassed at first, but then I realized the situation.

"Fantasy. Is this some kind of test?" ’

The one approaching was clearly courageous. It seemed to be the owner of this sword, Megelou.

Hyun-seok stood still and looked at the approaching courage. A courageous man arrived before my eyes.

I was riding a giant dragon, and an elongated flame erupted from the dragon's nose.

The breath seemed to be made of fire. Maybe if we fire the right Bress, we can bring down the surroundings in flames.

I felt a hot heat even though I was just close by. Maybe it feels hotter because it's a desert.

Megeloo sits on the dragon and looks down at the stone with arrogant eyes. In the hand of the stone is the sword of Megelou.

Megelou looks at the sword and reaches out his hand.

“It's mine. ”

The words that came out of Megeloo's mouth were a bit of a local imperial language. Hyun-Seok listened to it and thought Megeloo was from the desert.

He was curious how he knew about it, but now was not the time to fall in love with it.

In fact, it's even more amazing to be able to understand the Empire language and any language.

Hyun-seok stared at Megeloo quietly. Then the dragon of Megeloo trembled.

Glug glug!

The dragon of Megeloo hurls a flame and brings its mouth close to the stone.

It was a threat that if I did anything wrong, I would roast it as it is.

Hyun-seok laughed as he watched it. He squeezes his hand tightly into the sword.

“It's mine now. ”

Hyun-Seok speaks fluent Empire language. Rather, it seemed that Hyundai was more empire than Megeloo. The language of the Hyundai Empire was a very precise language spoken in the capital.

Megelou's mouth is ridiculed.

“You're a punk in the capital. ”

It was a fierce hostility that I felt from Megeloo's tone. Megelou seems to have a grudge against the people of the capital.

Hyun-Seok motionlessly looked at Megelou and asked.

“Is there something you want to say to me? ”

Megelou reaches out again.

“Give me back the sword and I'll spare your life. ”

“I don't like it.”

The scorn in Megeloo's mouth grows darker.

“Maybe... you'll want to give it to me soon. ”

The sword in the hand of a string stone begins to run red, frightened by Megeloo's words.

Chihuahua!

You feel a burning pain coming from your hand. No, it was actually being set on fire. The scorching stench of burning flesh creeps up your nose.

However, he did not change his face and looked at Megeloo, still holding his sword.

You look a little surprised at Megeloo's face. But even then, within a short while, the laughter became more intense.

“You're the only one who can stand it. That sword can't be manipulated by anyone. So hand it over. Otherwise, the pain will get worse. ”

Hyun-seok stared at Megeloo with a bold expression without answering.

I was just convinced. It was clear that Megelou, or the dragon he serves, could not harm the marble.

I don't know if I want to hurt him or not, but I was sure I couldn't.

The stone gives more strength to the hand holding the sword.

Glug! Glug!

My hands are starting to burn. The flame rises above your hands to your forearms. But that was it. No more than that.

He only held it to his forearms and caused a great deal of pain.

Of course, Hyun-seok's expression was still discouraging. Megeloo's words became more and more painful, but it didn't matter.

I was more confident holding on to something like this than anyone else. Even though the pain was getting worse, I could endure it.

The scorn that came to Megeloo's mouth disappeared. It was fierce anger that took his place.

“Put that sword down now! ”

The hot heat hit my whole body. It seemed to have the power to rapidly raise the ambient temperature with just ventilation.

Hyundai reflexively identified the level of Megeloo. I know the mind isn't working, but instinct is what triggered it.

Surprisingly, at that moment, my mind worked.

348!

That was a huge level. Maybe we can't win against that Megeloo right now.

At least I have the level difference to rub it with my skill or magical control, but I couldn't really do it if the gap was that big.

But if you have that level, what do you do? They can't attack anyway.

The stone gives more strength to the hand holding the sword.

Over time, Megelou's furious face gradually begins to distort. And his voice distorted as well.

“Hand over the sword... quickly... to me. ”

It felt like Megeloo was blurring somehow. No, it was actually blurring.

As the image of Megeloo becomes blurred, the more painful the pain that comes from the hand holding the sword becomes.

Later, Hyun-seok had to endure it. I felt like I could lose my mind if I just got a little pushed here.

However, Hyun-Seok endured until the end.

That's how Megelou disappeared. Just one last word.

“You win. Take good care of her."

Flashes everywhere. And when the flashing light disappeared, the stone was standing where it was supposed to be.

The pain disappears as if washed away.

He glances down at Megelou's sword, which he holds in his hand as if he were possessed.

Pasasak!

The sword is scattered to dust. I passed the test in the face of that pain, but that was the end of the sword's life.

It could be futile if it were nothing. But I didn't think much of it.

It just made me feel better that I had survived the sword test. And the sword was broken, but I got something.

It strengthens your mental strength through testing. In fact, the MP stats in the Status Window have increased by 5. These stats will help greatly in the event of a similar crisis in the future.

Hyun-seok thought so lightly and tried to move on. But that wasn't the end.

The powder from the broken blade rushes towards the stone.

I had no time to avoid and sleep. If the enemy attacks at this speed, they will be forced to attack.

At that moment, the thought that came to mind was the level of Megeloo that I saw in the illusion of the test.

Wouldn't a 348-level player attack with a special skill result in this speed?

Anyway, the powder poured out like that and dug through the entire body of the stone. There was a great deal of pain. But it was no worse than the pain Megeloo's sword inflicted on me in the vision.

The pain was not long. And I gave a gift to Hyun-seok.

The sword's stats have been absorbed by a rock. Hyun-seok gained 30 strength and agility each and increased his health by 50.

How many times do I have to level up to get stats like that? I was really going above and beyond.

I suddenly remembered what was on Megeloo's sword description earlier. If you win the sword test, you'll get a new title.

You quickly check, and nod loudly. I got an extra title.

[Title given to a person who can interact with the dragon who does the dragon.]

It was not a title to be gained by being brave. It was a title that reached the pole of courage, smashed the wall and took it to the next level.

How do I know that? ’

I was surprised by the fact that knowledge came to me so naturally. How the hell do they know that?

For now, it was just a guess as to whether the title would naturally follow.

Of course, the truth is still unknown.

“By the way... what do you need a title for? There should be dragons.”

Hyun-seok murmured as he laughed.

Now, with dragons, we can fight dragons like courageous men.

If you get a dragon to fly in the sky, you can use it as a mount.

“There's no way you can get the dragon. ”

Besides, I don't know what dragon to get. No, I don't even know how to get the dragon.

Not just any dragon can be tamed. Then the Empire would be full of courage.

There must be something special. For example, how to get dragon eggs and be together when they hatch.

“Or is it summoned? Come out! Like this? ”

Hyun-seok shut up. And I looked forward with a silly look.

A giant dragon suddenly appears in front of the stone and stares at the stone.
