When I entered the affected area in earnest, I felt more real about the pollution.
[Mana concentration is too high during standby]
[Using the skill may amplify power and cause aftereffects.]
[Continuous decline in stamina.]
Warnings that didn't exist when Ogich came right after his death.
It meant that the pollution in the area became more serious than then.
What do these crazy people do in places like this?’
It's hard to breathe just by staying still.
The presence of buffers was important in places where such sustained damage occurred, and just in time Jae-ho replaced the position.
[You have chosen to .]
The Spirit of the E-Felts:
1. Provide allies with a life-saving buff.
2. If your physical strength decreases below 14.9%, your damage is halved for 10 seconds.]
Elbow Spirit, who has reached the 98th level and is performing better than in the past.
It was one of the first skills I learned from the elves, and in fact, growth was pretty slow.
The same is true of the 99 level that we learned together.
In fact, these two were now being used like breathing to the point where it was hard to call a skill.
That's why I can't understand the skill growth rate.
I've heard from Wan Sik the reason why I've heard the reason why I'm guessing.
"It's a little stupid, but it's a dog-eat-dog if you look at the effects. It's passive pretending to be an active skill. Usually, you can't apply the skill level to passive, but that's stuck. I think that's why my skills have been balanced.”
At the normal skill level increase rate, it's too balance-breaking, so I think it'll take a lot more experience.
'But the upgrade is just around the corner.’
Even now, its performance was not disappointing at all.
As Jae-ho's colorful steps as he walked, the recovery buff wrapped around his colleagues and reduced his strength again.
"Ugh! It's really... it's terrible...….’
However, Taylor, who saw Jae-ho's appearance, first heard instinctive disgust before the effect.
Jae-ho's dancing in a big armor was too bizarre.
Even though it's a game, ordinary players want to look cool, but there's no one like Jae-ho who doesn't hesitate to do anything ugly like him.
Especially with that appearance.
'But that's why it's scarier.
I felt similar to Taylor when I saw Jaeho, but the conclusion is a little different.
As an unrivaled one-top player, Jae-ho's real strength is that of Jae-ho's real strength."
"Don't know what you're going to do is the scariest thing you're going to do."
So for the first time since I started playing the game, I suggested party play first.
But only one, I was devastated by the sight.
'Jaeho...'
Uram, who wanted to raise his son to the world's best martial arts player, was distressed by his son's unadjusted appearance.
The destination arrived while thinking of different ideas for Jaeho.
과거 넓은 대로였던 것으로 보이는 공터에 세워진 마차들은 부서지거나 상한 곳 없이 모두 멀쩡했다.
하지만 마차를 끌고 왔을 말이 전혀 보이지 않았고, 안에도 사람이 없었다.
“다툼의 흔적은 전혀 보이지 않는데.”
마차 내부를 살펴도 끌려나오거나 몸부림친 흔적은 전혀 없었다.
“우리한테도 이 정도로 강한 디버프가 걸리는데, 일반 NPC가 멀쩡할 리 없긴 하지.”
특히나 건강관리라곤 좋은 음식과 영양제 말곤 전혀 안 했을 귀족들이니 이쯤 왔다면 진작 기절하고도 남았을 게 뻔했다.

Taylor, who returned after looking around first, stepped down onto the carriage.
"First of all, I don't see any other hazards nearby. There's no place for people to live."
"Only a human being is missing here, too. I think that wagon over there was carrying some treasure...….”
"Hoo-hoo, I have a good skill to use at times like this..."
[Analyze and track the traces of the past on the floor.]
When I was a novice assassin, it was a skill I gained by doing a lot of thief-tracking quests.
It's rarely used now, but it's still a useful skill.
"The footprints here seem to have moved from about five to eight people at most.”
"That's all you can do?"
"If you look at stepwise or foot size information, yes."
If the nobles had run away with gasoline, it could never have been that number.
"Didn't you fool him? The carriage might have been empty originally.”
At Taylor's suspicion, Jae-ho shook his head.
"I can't rule out the possibility completely, but the carriage actually came all the way here. And there are obvious signs of human activity."
It was not even right to say that only Retney and Moo-moo had bait in advance in case Jae-ho and his party came.
"I'm afraid I'll have to go inside the castle."
"Saint?"
"I need to go to Ogike Rare, which was underground. That's where Ogich died."
It was a place to suspect if it was a similar ruin everywhere.
the central part of the Big Bang that caused the collapse of the brown bear kingdom
If something was hidden, it was very likely there...….
* * *
Jae-ho and his party headed for the Bulgomseong Fortress based on Taylor's traces.
It was obvious that there was something there when I saw the footsteps.
"Oh? Look at this! It says there's something here."
Then cried Taylor, who found a well in the ruins.
"It's not the time to look at such things."
Jae-ho ignored Jae-ho and tried to pass, but Taylor curled the water up into the basket.
"This isn't normal water."
He said, showing the well he had dug.
"Huh?"
Only then did Jae-ho, who stopped walking, come and look.
A liquid that is too blue and sticky for normal water.
It was one of the items that could check the details.
[Water contaminated with blood and mana from Dragon's body.
However, it became a high-grade mana elixer itself with a dense mana.
If you drink it, you may have a special effect.]
It is a substance made by the mana blood of Ogik, which has polluted the atmosphere as well as the earth.
On the other hand, I could see how only MooMoo, whose skills have improved significantly recently, gained strength.
"Isn't this one of the causes?"
"...why are you doing such a cold analysis? I was just asking if it would be good to drink...….”
"Huh? Drink?"
Jae-ho asked surprisedly.
"Of course! It's Elixir! Where is Elixir normal?"
"It says it's made of Ogich's blood and mana. How awful is he?"
"That's how Ellixer is in itself. There are side effects and risks when eating instead of having a definite effect. The more dangerous it is, the greater the reward, right?”
"You're right."
Even Big Thunder agreed.
"The Elixir type is so rare that even the best alchemist can barely produce it, and players from all over the world will flock to the well if it is known that Elixir is in it."
"Hmmm, but what exactly does Elixir mean?"
Woo Ram, who had been unable to keep up with the conversation, looked at the opportunity and asked.
"Buff potion that adds attribution options to the character itself."
Big Thunder explained to Uram.
"The most common thing would be to significantly increase your ability, and with a low probability, you could give them a special option. In this case, however, there is no information that can be checked, so we can't see the effect.”
It was impossible to check unless I tried it.
"Don't you think eating can have a bad effect?"
Jae-ho asked as if he felt uncomfortable.
The name 'contaminated' was somehow significant.….
"Hey! I've never heard of eating Ellixer and tightening my character! Trust and eat, Ellixer! Here we go!"
Taylor picked up the bucket and started to gulp it down.
"Gulp gulp"
Just hearing the sound, the unpleasant stickyness went down Taylor's throat.
[Drinking ground water contaminated with Mana.]
The raging mana gnaws at your body.]
[Continuous decline in stamina.]
[Your body mutates and has the best shape.]
[Admits 120% increase.]
[Increases health by 80].]
"What?! Crazy!"
Taylor, who confirmed the effect, was surprised.
"Why? Are you screwed?"
"No. The effect is enormous. This is higher than the best...….”
However, Taylor's face hardened at the subsequent notification.
[Black Dragon Ogich's blood is spreading through your body.]
[ Cursed.]
[Last gift for your guys struggling to be stronger! I'll make you fight forever and never rest! Hahaha....]
[If there is no change in capability for 100 hours, all additional capabilities obtained in a way other than level-up and title effects will disappear and the curse will be lifted.]
[Time is updated when capability changes occur.]
"Uh, uh, uh...?”
Taylor, who turned pale, read the notice before her eyes over and over again.
"That's crude."
"That's crude."
Others who approached and checked the content nodded.
Surely the effect of the rise in capacity was enormous.
A level that is hard to obtain even by a decent, top-notch title or reward.
But according to the curse, it was a double-edged sword.
If there is no change in ability within 100 hours, the whole effort will be lost.
It could not have been so bad, depending on the conditions.
For people who are growing up a lot, it would be a good business if they grow up enough with their skills and then remove the curse.
However, in the case of Go-Level, like Taylor, it was a fatal curse because of the large amount of extra capacity he had accumulated.
Besides, it wasn't usually difficult for a player looking at level 400 to raise his or her ability level 1.
"No, there's a way.”
At that moment Jae-ho discovered the blind spot of this curse.
"There's no saying that your ability needs to rise, is there? All you have to do is change."
"...you don't think?"
Taylor was shocked to understand Jae-ho's words.
"It hurts my heart, but isn't it?”
It's to die right away and force the level down!
"You crazy bastard! You call that a horse now!"
"Hey, what if it's 99 hours and you don't have any way to boost your skills? Are you just going to forget all the extra powers you've gained so far and take out the curse? Or do you want to die with your eyes shut and just drop your level and ability a little?"
"That's... that's... ....”
In simple calculations, the latter was clearly a gain.
"Damn it......! What the hell is Elixir!"
Taylor, who was called a must-win for Elixir, vented his anger and threw the bucket.
But there was one person who looked at this situation from a completely different direction.
"That's not bad.”
Uram picked up the bucket that Taylor threw and hung it on the well pulley again.
"Huh? To drink?”
Jae-ho asked in surprise.
"I think it'll be efficient just thinking about my father's level, but... Isn't there a lot of extra capacity you've gained so far?”
Additional abilities obtained by endless ironing and discipline throughout the voyage.
To lose it all.
"That's it. That's why it works better."
"Yes?"
"Think about it. No matter how I am, I sometimes feel lazy and want to be satisfied with light weight for a day. But with this curse, you won't have to worry about such complacency at all!"
“…….”
Uram's argument left everyone in the party speechless.
Of course, there will be many people who live with similar ideas.
The kind of people who force themselves to the limit.
But this was a curse.
As soon as he slips out of that crazy race, Uram's muscles are pulled aside.
"Mamb! Drink up, too! This is the perfect supplement for the healthman!"
up and down
When everyone froze at the sight of Uram drinking without hesitation.
"Phew, give me some, too.
Suddenly, Jae-ho came out.
"What is it? Are you going to drink too?!”
"I was originally going to drink."
When asked by Taylor, Jae-ho said casually.
"Because I'm a curse immunization anyway."
"Uh..."? You, you punk!! Then you could have tried it first!!!"
"You never know again. It's a poison, so you could die."
Of course, Jae-ho wouldn't have died because of the passive, but he didn't have to say that.
