He couldn’t guess what kind of equipment it was just by looking at the name.
Soo Hyuk checked the item information.
{Recipe for making Void [new]}
A recipe that can produce God grade equipment.
You can make ‘Void’ by collecting ingredients and using the recipe.
‘It’s not here.’
He thought it might be listed in the item information, but it wasn’t.
Soo Hyuk took out the recipe and checked the ingredients needed to make the equipment.
And surprise appeared in his eyes when he checked the ingredients.
-Mage Ryan’s Invisible Staff
‘The invisible staff?’
It was because he was familiar with the first ingredient.
‘Then is it a staff?’
Mage Ryan’s Invisible Staff is, as the name suggests, is a staff. What if a legendary-grade staff was used as a material? The item ‘Void’ was also very likely to be a staff. Of course, it wasn’t certain.
Soo Hyuk checked the following ingredients.
– 5kg of Liodirem
After checking the second ingredient, Soo Hyuk grinned.
‘As I expected.’
It was Soo Hyuk, who saved l0kg of Liodirem because he thought it would be needed someday. But he never expected that the day would come so soon.
‘I can make this right away,’
After the first material, there was the second material. Soo Hyuk smiled and checked the next ingredient.
– Cordinarion 10kg
-Void Essence
-Black Dragon Essence
-Red Dragon Essence
-Blue Dragon Essence
-White Dragon Essence
-Green Dragon Essence
-Silver Dragon Essence
-Gold Dragon Essence
‘What.’
And the smile disappeared from Soo Hyuk’s lips.
‘What is that material?
The material that came out after the staff and Liodirem.
‘Is this a new grade ingredient?’
There were items that he saw for the first time, and there were items that were difficult to obtain to the extent that he thought ‘Is this necessary?’
‘Still, not many.’
Soo Hyuk looked at the ingredients once again and thought about it.
He knew that he would need a huge variety of items because it is God grade. But it wasn’t as much as he thought.
‘What is Cordinarion? Void essence?’
Of course, it was not without problems at all.
‘Looking at the weight attached to it, it seems to be an ore like Liodirem.’
He had no idea where to get it though.
‘You must collect dragon essences by type.’
It’s not easy to find these ingredients. Dragon essences are hard to find. Literally, he has to catch a dragon.
Although there are a lot of items listed at the auction house, the essence of the dragon has never appeared. It was only traded once or twice between NPCs.
“Sigh”
A sigh came out.
‘I will try to find Cordinarion and Void Essence at the auction house. And will ask Pavian for the dragon essences.’
After looking at the ingredients, Soo Hyuk put the recipe in his inventory. Then he saw numerous boxes around him.
He had 2 more items he could acquire. Most of the boxes contained jewels or gold. That was what Yeon Jeung had said. However, he hadn’t checked all the boxes.
Anyway, what if there is a box containing the materials needed to make the item ‘Void’ among the boxes that have not been checked by Yeon Jeung?
‘I wish it’s here.’
Soo Hyuk began to check the information of the surrounding boxes one by one. And then he stopped moving. His pupils widened.
{Alcandium Box [Legendary]}
It is a box containing Alcandium, which is a mineral from the demon realm and has the highest strength. When used, ‘20 kg’ of Alcandium can be obtained.
The reason Soo Hyuk’s pupils dilated was because of the box containing Alcandium.
‘It’s here!’
It wasn’t just jewels and gold. Legendary grade materials were also here.
‘Then…!’
There was also a possibility that there were items such as Cordinarion and Void essence.
Soo Hyuk quickly started checking the boxes around him.
{Cordinarion Box [Legendary]}
A box containing the death mineral Cordinarion, which deprives you of life just by holding it.
When used, you can get ‘8kg’ of Cordinarion.
‘There it is!’
And not long after, Soo Hyuk was able to find Cordinarion.
‘It was a mineral.’
Soo Hyuk looked at the information and smiled. Cordinarion was as expected a mineral.
‘Wait a second.’
Then, he suddenly had a thought.
‘You lose your vitality?’
It was because of the description of Cordinarion.
‘Are you taking damage? Then.’
Soo Hyuk opened the quest window. And he confirmed the special quest ‘Aesthetics of Support’.
{Special Quest – Aesthetics of Support}
Endure the attack and grow your stamina!
[Damage received: 840,678 /10,000,000]
Quest Reward: Stat – Damage received is initialized to 0 upon death.
What if life loss is treated as damage?
‘Can I hold this?’
He was at a loss as to how to finish the quest, but now he thought of a way.
Soo Hyuk put the box down. Each box contains a different amount. He looked for the box with the highest amount.
‘This is the one with the most Cordinarion.’
After checking all the boxes, Soo Hyuk stood in front of one box.
‘It is 10 kg.’
It was a box containing just the amount needed for production. Soo Hyuk picked up the box and put it in his inventory.
[Obtain the Cordinarion Box.]
[Number of items that can be acquired: 1]
‘Shall I take out only 1kg?’
Soo Hyuk immediately opened the box and took out the cordinarion to check if his vitality would decrease as described in the item description.
[The energy of death dwells in the mineral.]
[Cordinarion steals your life.]
As soon as he took out the Cordinarion, a message appeared. As indicated in the information, Cordinarion decreased his vitality.
‘Two thousand per second?’
It wasn’t that 1,200 was taken away. His health was being reduced by 2000 per second.
Soo Hyuk’s vitality is only slightly less than 110,000. He will not last a minute and die.
“The magic circle of life.”
Of course, he will not stand still, he started healing himself. After casting the magic circle of life, Soo Hyuk looked at the quest window. He wondered if this damage would be counted in the quest or not. After checking the quest, Soo Hyuk smiled without saying a word.
‘Done. I can do it with this.’
The damage received was steadily rising.
‘Should I take more than 1 kg?’
Soo Hyuk took out an extra 1kg of Cordinarion. Then more vitality began to decrease, and Soo Hyuk put all the Cordinarion he was holding into his inventory with a satisfied expression. And he started checking the boxes around him again.
‘If they have Void Essence or Dragon Essence.’
_____________
Underground cave of the royal palace in the capital, Kyrad. In the cave was an altar made of ice. Extreme chills emanated from the altar.
“Follow me.”
Ashul spoke to Maros and headed down the stairs to the altar. Maros fastened Hertana’s straps so that she wouldn’t fall and started walking down the stairs.
Soon after arriving at the altar, Maros had no choice but to flinch. Because a body was lying there.
‘Dead body?’
It didn’t feel alive. It seemed to be a corpse.
“Put her down and make sure that her head is on this side.”
Ashul pointed to the side of the corpse and said to Maros. He carefully untied the ropes and set Hertana down.
“What is going on?”
Then he asked Ashul. What is this place and what is he trying to do?
“And this corpse…”
The thing he was most curious about was the corpse next to Hertana. Ashul glanced at the corpse and answered Maros’ question.
“It’s Ascanis.”
“?”
Maros was puzzled at Ashul’s answer.
But after a while, he was astonished.
“Ascanis? Are you talking about the Demon King Ascanis?”
“Yes.”
Ashul nodded his head.
It is the corpse of the Demon King Ascanis, who ruled the 10th Demon World a long time ago.
“Why is the body…”
Maros blurred the end of his words and looked at the body. The body of Ascanis, who died 200 years ago, why is it here?
“Kyrad-sama and I stole it. To study the manifestation of Ascanis’ unique magic.”
Ashul answered Maros’ question and began to put down magic stones filled with magic energy nearby.
“And I was able to find the remains of Ascanis’ body.”
“Is this it?”
“Yeah, it is.”
“What did you discover?”
“I can’t explain it in words. I still don’t know what it is.”
After putting down all the magic stones, Ashul approached Hertana.
‘I’m sorry. Hertana.’
And he thought, looking at Hertana with sad eyes. He spoke in the case of any unforeseen circumstances.
Ashul didn’t think it would get to this, so he was so sorry to Hertana.
“Follow me.”
Ashul spoke to Maros and started going down the altar.
“The princess…”
“Just come.”
Maros frowned. What is he trying to do?
Why doesn’t he tell me? But in the current situation, he couldn’t help but follow Ashul’s words.
Maros glanced at Hertana then followed Ashul back down.
Ashul stopped halfway through.
“When I give you a signal, inject magic into this place.”
When Maros arrived, Ashul said. At his words, Maros saw a small stick he was pointing at.
“Here?”
“Yes.”
“Is it enough to inject only the magic?”
Ashul nodded and continued.
“And when the altar begins to melt, quickly get out the way you came.”
“Why?”
Maros asked.
“Because this place is going to collapse.”
“What about the princess?”
“No need to worry. I will take care of it.”
*Swoosh*
Ashul took the letter out of his arms. And he reached out to Maros.
“?”
Maros looked at the letter with a puzzled expression, and Ashul continued.
“Don’t read it now, go out and read it later. As soon as you leave the cave.”
Ashul had an unusual atmosphere. It feels like it’s his last wish.
“… All right.”
Maros replied to Ashul and received the letter. Ashur climbed up the altar again. Maros stared at him and waited for the signal.
It was then.
*Screech*
Above the altar where Ashul was located, a strange sound that was difficult to describe in words began to be heard. It was a sound that made Maros feel uncomfortable just by hearing it. He frowned.
“Now!”
And at that moment, Ashul shouted. Maros injected magic into the stick.
*Swish*
Magi rode into the altar and went into the hall. And after a while, the ice that made up the altar began to melt. Seeing the ice melting, Maros quickly headed towards the entrance as Ashul had told him.
And by the time he arrived at the entrance, a crashing sound was heard. After passing the entrance, Maros stopped moving, took out a letter and opened it.
He couldn’t guess what kind of equipment it was just by looking at the name.
Soo Hyuk checked the item information.
