Chapter 237: Bonus Stats Used
“Child of Darkness, Child of Darkness.”
Soo Hyuk summoned the ‘Children of Darkness’ and quickly confirmed the quest.
{Alin}
‘Alin’, the forefront city of the Kyrad faction.
Invading Alin, you must survive the threat of numerous Demons.
Stay alive for 30 minutes to complete the quest.
Quest Reward: ???
‘‘?”
Seeing the quest, Soo Hyuk was bewildered.
Like the outpost quest, he thought the number of remaining Demons would be mentioned. And he thought that the quest rewards would be a contribution as well. However, it was not.
The content, completion conditions, and rewards were very different from what he expected.
*Swoosh* *Crunch*
While checking the quest, Soo Hyuk looked around at the sound of footsteps in his ears.
Demons were coming from everywhere.
“Firestorm, Poison storm.”
Soo Hyuk cast AOE magic towards demons.
-Obtained 4 Intermediate-Class Demon Soul Stones
-Obtained 3 Intermediate-Class Demon’s Blood
Then a drop window appeared and started to update at a tremendous rate.
After seeing the drop window, Soo Hyuk confirmed the quest ‘Alin Siege’.
The contribution was constantly increasing.
‘Good.’
A smile appeared on his lips. At this rate, it seemed that he could reach 100 million in no time.
“Are we going to stay here?”
Yeon Jeung asked.
“Let’s stay here for now.”
Soo Hyuk nodded his head in response.
The Demons kept coming. And they can get out at any time through the hole in the back.
“Okay.”
Yeon Jeung looked around in response to Soo Hyuk’s words.
He stood in preparation for any possible attack. But not long after, he stopped checking the surrounding area.
It was because the Demons approaching were killed by the ‘Children of Darkness’ and Soo Hyuk’s magic.
There was no need for his vigilance.
Yeon Jeung thought while watching the massacre caused by Soo Hyuk.
‘Even if he is like this with legendary grade equipment, how great would he be with God grade equipment?’
Soon, Soo Hyuk will acquire a God grade chest in the Royal Palace Treasury.
Of course, no one knows what equipment recipes will come out of the box.
It might be a weapon that Soo Hyuk doesn’t use. But what if a wand comes out?
‘If you think about the difference between hero and legend…’
The difference between the hero grade and the legend grade was so great that it could not be considered as one level difference in performance.
The God grade was also expected to show a huge difference from the legendary grade.
It was then.
[Warning!]
[High-Class Demon Akushurma has appeared.]
A message appeared.
Finally, a high-level demon appeared.
‘Akushurma?’
Seeing the message, Yeon Jeung tilted her head. Because it was a name he had seen somewhere.
“Uh?”
It was not only Yeon Jeung that received the message. A message also appeared to Soo Hyuk.
“Isn’t he the commander who ran away then?”
“Ah!”
Yeon Jeung exclaimed at Soo Hyuk’s words.
“That’s right, Area G Commander. He dispelled your magic and ran away.”
When they visited the main base of the Kyrad faction in Area G this morning, the commander they met was Akushurma.
He dispelled Soo Hyuk’s magic and ran away immediately.
“There he is!”
Soo Hyuk quickly looked around and found Akushurma.
Akushurma looked at Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung with a frown then turned back and started running.
“He is running away again.”
Soo Hyuk muttered as he looked at Akushurma’s back. He ran again as he did in Area G.
The only difference was that he did not dispel Soo Hyuk’s magic.
‘Too bad.’
Akushurma was a High-Class Demon. He was also a commander of a region. If he killed him, he would receive a huge amount of contribution.
Soo Hyuk continued casting spells at the demons in disappointment.
5 minutes after that.
[Warning!]
[High-Class Demon Akushurma has appeared.]
‘?’
Soo Hyuk was puzzled when Akushurma came back again.
‘Why is he here again?’
When Soo Hyuk was puzzled.
[Warning!]
[High-Class Demon Mergate has appeared.]
[Warning!]
[High-Class Demon Alfurios has appeared.]
Messages started appearing one after another.
Soo Hyuk knew the reason after checking the warning messages.
‘Did he go to pick up reinforcements?’
Akushurma did not run away.
Soo Hyuk turned his gaze away from the messages and looked at Akushurma. Behind him were numerous Demons.
“Poison Fog, Wind.”
After casting Poison Fog, he cast Wind to spread the poison fog to Akushurma and the other High-Class Demons.
*Swoosh*
However, Akushurma dispelled the poison fog.
‘I have to deal with him quickly.’
Soo Hyuk thought while looking at Akushurma. As long as Akushurma is in the area he will not be able to cast his spells.
“Wind Cutter, Poison Spear, Chain of Poison, Fire, Dark Spear, Bond of Darkness, Wind.”
Soo Hyuk started throwing spells at Akushurma one after another to the point that it was difficult to dispel.
However, Soo Hyuk was perplexed by the situation that followed.
All the spells that flew to Akushurma were gone.
‘What?’
Soo Hyuk looked at him with bewildered eyes.
Akushurma was grinning.
‘How did he get rid of them all?’
The number of magic was too many to be eliminated using Dispel.
What the hell did he do?
At that moment, the High-Class Demons who came with Akushurma entered Soo Hyuk’s sight.
‘Surely…’
Soo Hyuk frowned at a sudden thought.
What if all the High-Class Demons that came with him knew how to use Dispel?
When he was immersed in thought.
*Swoosh*
The AOE magic that Soo Hyuk had cast began to disappear one after the other.
He was then sure.
‘Damn.’
His theory was correct.
“Soo hyuk?”
After watching the magic being dispelled, Yeon Jeung cautiously called out Soo Hyuk.
Soo Hyuk replied.
“Let’s retreat for a moment.”
If there were only one or two High-Class Demons, in the current situation, they would be dispelled using magic.
It is no longer possible to kill Demons.
“Huh.”
Yeon Jeung, the wagons turned quickly. Then drove through the hole.
Soo Hyuk looked back. And fortunately, there were no Demons chasing after them.
The wagon stopped, after crossing the mountain.
“What are we going to do?”
Yeon Jeung asked after stopping the carriage.
“I’m thinking about it.”
Soo Hyuk thought as he replied.
What if Akushurma and the High-Class demons are together? They will dispel his magic.
In other words, his magic is blocked.
‘Should I hit and run?’
The solution was not to face them all head on. They will be able to catch Demons until Akushurma and the High-Class Demons appear.
‘Or should I invest bonus stats?’
There was one more way. It was investing his bonus stats in wisdom.
Soo Hyuk opened his character window.
Level: 498
Experience: 41%
Health: 109400
Mana: 187000
Satiety: 67%
Power: 30
Agility: 19
Stamina: 1088 [544]
Wisdom: 9350 (+1700)
Bonus Stats: 1210
Soo Hyuk had 1210 bonus stats.
‘I don’t think they can dispel big magic.’
The strength of the spells depends on the amount of wisdom he has.
What if all bonus stats were invested in wisdom?
It will make a synergy with the legendary equipment option to increase magical attack power.
In that case, it will be difficult to dispel Hell Fire, FireStorm, Poison Storm, etc.
Of course, this is also only an estimate. Even if he invests in wisdom, they might be able to dispel his magic.
‘If only there was no cooldown.’
If there was no cooldown, it would have been tough for them to dispel his magic.
‘Yes, I will invest first.’
With a disappointed expression, Soo Hyuk decided and invested all his 1210 bonus stats into wisdom.
Level: 498
Experience: 41%
Health: 109400
Mana: 211200
Satiety: 67%
Power: 30
Agility: 19
Stamina: 1088 [544]
Wisdom: 10560 (+1700)
Soo Hyuk smiled, after confirming his new wisdom.
Because it has surpassed 10 thousand. He then closed the character window and checked the spell’s cooldown.
The cooldown of all spells has not yet reset. But it will only take two minutes.
When they arrive at Alin, the cooldown will end.
“Yeon Jeung.”
Soo Hyuk called Yeon Jeung.
“Yea?”
“Let’s go back.”
Soo Hyuk said after Yeon Jeung replied.
“Again?”
_________
“He is such a freak. How does he have that magic power?”
“Isn’t he a polymorphed dragon?”
“I almost fell into a state of exhaustion while dispelling.”
“Was it that much?”
“Yeah, I was almost exhausted trying to get rid of the poison storm.”
Akushurma smiled bitterly at the conversations of the High-Class Demons. They had dispelled all the spells of the human wizard.
But that was it. Not Akushurma, but also half of the High-Class Demons who came with him ran out of mana while dispelling.
That’s how powerful the magic of the human wizard was.
‘It would have been rough if he could use that magic again.’
What if the human wizard had more capacity to cast spells?
Akushurma trembled as he thought about it.
“I will be back after meeting Eshtar. Wait here in case that human comes back.”
After speaking Akushurma moved in the direction of Eshtar’s mansion. However, after taking a couple of steps he was forced to stop.
*Bang*
It was because of the noise. Akushurma reflexively turned back and looked at the source.
The sound came from the hole that the human had created. Then Akushurma could see the wagon with two humans coming through the hole.
“Are they crazy!”
“Why are they here again!”
The High-Class Demons frowned and shouted.
Akushurma didn’t even say a word, but he cursed inwardly.
Why the hell did they come back? Maybe his mana has already recovered?
*Swoosh*
While he was cursing inwardly a giant firestorm appeared.
“?”
All the High-Class Demons, including Akushurma couldn’t help but be surprised after seeing the firestorm.
“Is it stronger?”
“Isn’t it? Am I the only one who felt that way?”
“Yeah, definitely more magical power…”
It was because they felt much more powerful magic than before. Akushurma thought as he watched the Firestorm.
‘How?’
What happened in that short amount of time?
