Chapter 218: Mission Accomplished

“Balrog bastards!”

*Bang*

Cranosson slammed the table harshly. He slammed it so hard that the table cracked.

“Sigh”

Cranosson let out a deep sigh, calming his anger a little.

“In addition to the village that has just been attacked by Balrogs, what is the total number of places attacked then?”

And he asked Emming.

“Seven places.”

Emming looked up and answered.

“Did these bastards even form an alliance?

Cranosson muttered in response to Emming’s answer.
The Blrrogs were currently raiding the villages.

He could not even divert his attention to other places because the war against the Kyrad faction has already begun.

An hour had already passed, but the battle continued.
In such a situation, he cannot use High-Class Demons to stop the Balrogs.

Then Ilom will be in danger.

‘At a time like this, if only there were Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung.’

Cranosson thought.

What if Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung were in this situation?
Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung, who killed three Balrogs in a row.

It would have been a great help if there were the two of them, but it was very disappointing.

‘Where are they?’

Where the hell are they?
It was then.

*Creak*

The door opened without knocking.
There were only two cases in which Cranosson’s door was opened without knocking.

The first was Amiletta. The second was that a big thing happened.

“Hertana has appeared on the battlefield!”

An Intermediate-Class Demon, Oma opened the door while shouting.

This time it was for the second reason.

*Creak*

At Oma’s cry, Cranosson stood up.
And he came out of the room with the sword he had placed next to him.

________

*Roar*

The ogre roared.

Poison smoke came out of the troll’s mouth.

“Poison!”

“Damn! Can we kill that?”

“Let us just go.”

As the smoke came out, the users who were attacking the troll ogres began to retreat.

Of course, not all the users fell behind.
As the ogre roared, a user who arrived did not back down even as the toxic smoke approached and began to close the distance with the troll ogre.

“Huh? sir? If you go, you will die!”

“What are you doing? You are going to die!”

The users who were retreating shouted at the user approaching the troll ogre.

“Uh? But isn’t that the Reader Guild’s mark?”

“Huh, right. Reader Guild’s!”

“Then I don’t think he is going to commit suicide, is he?”

“Isn’t that Soo Hyuk. He has an item that gives him strong resistance to poison. “

The user who approached the troll ogre was Soo Hyuk.

[You are not afflicted.]

Soo Hyuk checked the message as he approached the troll ogre.

The poison of the Chimera boss was stronger than that of a normal Chimera, but to Soo Hyuk, both were the same.
Soo Hyuk turned his gaze away from the message and looked at the troll ogre.

It was recovering from the wounds suffered by users.

“Hellfire.”

Soo Hyuk cast Hellfire.

*Swoosh*

Hellfire began to burn the troll ogre as soon as it appeared.

The toxic smoke from the troll’s mouth evaporated as soon as it came out.

*Roar*

*Scream*

The troll and ogre began to scream.

“Hellfire!”

“Uh? But why does Hellfire burn poison?”

“Isn’t that a difference in damage?”

Users started talking about the power of Hellfire.

[The mighty Chimera troll ogre has died.]
[You have killed all Chimeras in ‘Makarok’.]
[You have completed the special quest ‘Chimeras who took control of Makarok’.]

[Acquire items according to your contribution.]
[You have earned the most contribution.]
[Obtained Behind the Scenes Token.]
-Obtained Ogre’s tendon x2
-Obtained Troll’s heart

Meanwhile, the troll ogre died, and the quest was completed.

“Wow, already?”

“What a crazy amount of damage.”

“How high are his stats?”

When the troll ogre fell, the users talked again in surprised voices.

However, they could not go to Soo Hyuk to solve their curiosity.

This is probably because there was poison between Soo Hyuk and the users.

In addition, Soo Hyuk had no intention of stopping his solo play.

He no longer had to use the Warp Gate.

‘Ha, it’s over.’

This is because ‘Makarok’ was the last A Grade village.
In other words, Soo Hyuk’s Chimera hunt was over.

‘It ended earlier than expected.’

Soo Hyuk checked the time.
He expected it to take six hours and thought it would be over at seven.

‘As expected, Korean users are great.’

However, the participation rate of users was higher than expected, and it was possible to shorten it by 30 minutes.

Soo Hyuk opened the inventory.
And he thought as he looked at the tokens taking up a lot of space.

‘Shall we go to the tower now?’

After a quick stop at the Central Magic Tower, he must stop at the auction house and then go to the library.

“Archmage’s Subspace”

[Warping to Archmage’s Subspace.]

Soo Hyuk warped to the subspace.
And he immediately moved to the magic tower using the warp magic circle.

After arriving at the magic tower, Soo Hyuk headed straight to the Central Magic Tower.

‘It’s been a long time since I have been here.’

After a while he arrived at the Central Magic Tower.
Soo Hyuk was able to see many users. He went past the shouting users and entered the Central Magic Tower.

And he got to the 4th floor after passing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors, which are the shop areas.

“How many Chimeras do you want to hunt?”

“Two!”

“Huh, two? Don’t you have to hunt one to get two quests?”

“Right. Before you came, I was lucky enough to form a party and kill one!”

The 4th floor was full of novice users who wanted to become wizards and users who received quests.

‘I need to show the token.’

Soo Hyuk took another step and passed the users and headed to the other side of the stairs.

It was the stairway to the 5th floor.
Soo Hyuk showed the token of the Tower of Poison to the magician guarding the entrance.

Seeing the token, the wizard stood aside, and Soo Hyuk was able to climb to the 5th floor.

‘It’s also quiet.’

Unlike the 4th floor, the 5th floor was very quiet.
There were more NPCs than users.

This is because not everyone can enter the 5th floor.
You must have at least a level 3 token.

‘I shall do it here.’

Soo Hyuk’s token was a level 1 token and was able to go up to the 6th floor.

But he can achieve his goals even on the 5th floor. Therefore, he did not have to go all the way to the 6th floor.

“Can I please check your token?”

Soo Hyuk headed to the empty desk and presented the token at the words of the wizard sitting at the desk.
The wizard was immediately surprised as he checked the token.

He looked at Soo Hyuk with an astonished look on his face.

“Would you mind waiting a moment?”

After speaking to Soo Hyuk, he got up from his seat and approached a wizard at the desk behind him and whispered.

Soo Hyuk did hear their whispers, but the wizard sitting in the back got up and approached him.

“Hello. I am Riul, a first-class wizard of the Tower of Poison in charge of management of the 5th floor in the Central Magic Tower. It is an honor to meet you Soo Hyuk.”

The identity of the wizard was Riul. He greeted Soo Hyuk politely.

‘The next Tower Master is here!’

Riul never expected Soo Hyuk to come here.

‘What is he here for?’

Riul raised his head and asked Soo-hyuk.

“What can I help you with?”

“Ah, here.”

Soo Hyuk pulled out three types of black, red, and green tokens from his inventory at Riul’s words and showed them to him.

O.O”

Seeing the tokens, Riul was very astonished.

___________

‘This is a token of Black Moon!’

Soo Hyuk came out of the Central Magic Tower, then walked to the Warp Gate and looked at his inventory.
All the Behind the Scenes Tokens that filled his inventory had disappeared except for one of each color.
It was because Soo Hyuk traded everything for compensation.

‘I received 300,000 points from leftovers.’

He traded the tokens and obtained 300,000 points that can be used in the Central Magic Tower.

‘I also received a quest.’

He did not only get tokens he also received a quest.
Soo Hyuk closed his inventory.

And he opened the quest window and checked the [Behind the Scenes] quest he had just received from the Central Magic Tower.

[Back]

An unidentified group ‘Black Moon’ disappeared into the shadows due to the Great Mage Lapis 200 years ago.
The Central Magic Tower is convinced that Black Moon is behind the Chimera incident.

It was because the symbol of Black Moon was engraved on a token where the Chimeras appeared.
Black Moon is sure to bring chaos to the world starting with this Chimera incident.

The Magic Tower is chasing after Black Moon.
Wait until they catch Black Moon’s tail!
Quest Reward: ???

It was not a quest that could be completed immediately. There were no completion conditions.
A quest that you must wait for like ‘Time’.

And the time of this quest was very likely to be after the Chimeras were all cleaned up and the purification work was finished.

‘That’s great.’

However, it was a very good situation for Soo Hyuk, who had to be in the Demon World because of the Demon World War.

“Where are you going?”

“It’s Hard Rock.”

After arriving at the Warp gate, Soo Hyuk warped to Hard Rock.

He was going to use the auction house.

‘It would be great to have an auction house in the magic tower.’

Soo Hyuk did not understand why there was no auction house at the magic tower as it was bigger than Hard Rock.

Soo Hyuk arrived at Hard Rock and headed to the auction house.

“I will buy gold! Buying 3,000 gold! Wizard items too!”

“Buying emergency items! At least 80% off!”

‘How high did it reach?’

Upon arriving at the auction house, Soo Hyuk went to the real-time auction house and checked the bid amount for the Alcandium Armor Leggings.

-Current bid amount: 10,201,000
-Remaining time: 25:01

‘Ten million!’

After checking the bid amount, Soo Hyuk chuckled silently. It still had one more day left.

In addition, considering the nature of the auction where prices go up at the end, it seemed like it would be bought at a high price, although not as much as Yarion’s wrath.

‘Good.’

Soo Hyuk headed to the other side of the real-time auction house with a happy expression.
And he opened the auction window and started purchasing mana stones to unlock ‘Mana Wave’.

After completing the purchase, Soo Hyuk opened the quest window and started completing the Mana Wave quest when the complete button lit up.

[You have completed the quest ‘Mana Wave 1’.]

[The second option of Mana Wave is opened.]

As soon as the quest was completed, Soo Hyuk checked the item information.

{Mana Wave [Legendary]}

Limits: Mage, Stamina 300, Wisdom 2500
10% chance to recover 10% of HP when casting magic (20 seconds cooldown)

When casting magic, there is a 10% chance to increase magic penetration by 20% for 1 minute (30 seconds cooldown)

It is a bracelet made of Liodram. It went through the hands of many mages.

Looking at the item information, Soo Hyuk thought.

‘It’s similar.’

The item name was similar, and the description was the same, so he thought it might have a similar option.

It was as he expected. Everything was the same except for Mana being changed to Stamina and magic power was changed to magic penetration.

Soo Hyuk closed the information window and checked the time.

Then he smiled and said,

“Archmage’s Subspace.”

[Warping to the Archmage’s Subspace.]

It was time to go to the library.

‘I will start with the Totokin library.’

After arriving at the warp magic circle, Soo Hyuk warped to the village ‘Totokin’.

And as soon as he arrived at Totokin, a message appeared.

[Warning!]
[High Balrog Raymond appears.]

“Huh?”
