The 31st Piece Overturns the Game Board

Chapter 26

Huuuum!

The statues heavy sound filled up the air.

After that sound, a bright light radiated from the statue of Yzmokan.

Another reward?

The reward for killing Borgo should have already been settled with the additional reward that Yzmokan gave earlier.

But Yzmokan mustve thought that those rewards weren't enough. She was trying to give another reward.

[Ruin Predator activates. You have received additional rewards.]

Ah! So it was Ziliacs Ruin Predator activating.

This skill increased your rewards by 30% whenever you cleared a secret ruin. Ziliacs skill was already coming into effect even though it hadnt been long since Seol inherited it.

[You have a will of iron and a heart that is both cold and fiery.]

Creak

Creaaaak

Cracks suddenly appeared on the statue.

The cracks grew and started to connect with each other like a spiders web. And not too long after that, the statue broke.

Crumble!

[Do not stay, go and scatter light. You shall bring light to the world.]

Hum

A shimmering white light grew from the broken statue.

The light moved like a serpent and entered into Jamads hand.

Hm?

[Divine Relic: Mountain Fists has changed slightly.]

[Divine Relic: Mountain Fists has accumulated divine power.]

[Jamad has earned the achievement 'Protect the Hall'.]

[Jamad has earned the title 'Great Warrior of Yzmokan'.]

Jamad furrowed his brows.

He was upset because Yzmokans light was entering the Mountain Fists that Tancreed gifted his tribe.

Seol wouldve been happy with any and every reward but Jamad was different.

He was undoubtedly someone who served Tancreed, the Earth Dragon, as the chief of the Rock Molar Tribe.

It was somewhat expected that he didnt like the idea of some nameless native god blessing him.

Hm

But it seemed he wasnt too repulsed by it as he didnt really say anything.

It was because this power didnt come with responsibilities.

Then Ill need to check the rewards.

Once again, it was time to check the rewards.

Seol first pushed aside the smaller-looking rewards and picked out a big one.

[[Ghosts Armor(Purified)]

Quality: Abomination

Recommended Level: 5-15

Defense: 112

Durability: 95/95

Weight: 10kg

An armor filled with malicious energy. It has an evil effect of destroying your mind by just equipping it. However, now that it has been purified, there is no issue with equipping it. It has lost a lot of its power during the purification process but it is still an excellent piece of armor.

Basic Effect: Strength +5, Constitution +5

Bonus Effect: It is comfortable, naturally restores itself, and can increase its defense by 20-50 based on the length of the battle.]

An Abomination, huh thats why it had a strange glow.

The Basic Effect was ordinary but the Bonus Effect and the high base defense were amazing. It was quite incredible.

But now that I think about it should I have expected this? It was able to endure Jamads attack without a dent after all.

Regardless of whether it was kicked, punched, or hit, the dark armor was still rock solid.

Pandea is filled with many different item qualities.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

However, because the items you received in the early-to-mid game weren't that different from the items you got in the late game in terms of base stats, it was quite confusing at times.

This was something that even Seol struggled with when he started playing the game.

Poor, common, special, rare, and treasure were the item qualities that typically came out in the early-to-mid game. The qualities higher than that could only be acquired once you went into the mid-game.

Therefore, Treasure quality was considered the highest quality equipment for the early game.

The confusing part was this:

The treasure quality was also split up.

Abomination, Treasure, Divine Relic, Peerless, etc.

These qualities were all similar levels of strength and because of that, players were confused about which ones were better or worse. In the end, players were only able to say that its case by case.

It was a decent conclusion though as Abominations were typically cursed equipment that could only be used by special classes or after purification.

The armor that Seol got just now was also an Abomination. And because it was completely, perfectly purified, it was better than most Treasure quality equipment.

But Jamad cant use this armor.

Shamans were unable to equip heavy armor.

That was a law of Pandea, The World of Eternity.

Seol had no choice but to give this armor to Karuna instead.

[You have equipped Karuna, the Moonlight Knight, with Ghosts Armor(Purified).]

Seol didnt check Karunas stats after he equipped the armor but it was obvious that his stats would increase a lot. Karunas defense was probably also much higher than before now.

Is the helmet next?

[[Helmet of Control(Destroyed)]

Quality: Abomination

Recommended Level: N/A

Defense: 0

Durability: 0/0

Weight: 5kg

A helmet made with a rare material called spirit stone. It had been corrupted after it was influenced by its makers grudge. It is completely destroyed now and wont have its power returned even if it is repaired.

Basic Effect: N/A

Bonus Effect: N/A]

Its a shame.

Seol wouldve used it well if it wasnt broken.

Seol clicked his tongue and put the helmet into his inventory.

He thought there would be another use for it later other than just equipping it.

Now there was only one item left to check, Jamads Mountain Fists.

Seol checked the Mountain Fists on Jamads status.

[[Divine Relic: Mountain Fists]

Quality: Divine Relic

Recommended Level: N/A

Damage: 43

Durability: 50/50

Weight: 5.0kg x 2

Divine Relic of the Rock Molar Tribe bestowed by Tancreed. Receiving the power of the earth, it awakened to a new level. Because it has a strong frame, it can continue to awaken. It has received Yzmokans blessing.

Basic Effect: All stats +3, Core Stats +5

Bonus Effect: MP regeneration per second +5, Destructive power of shamanic spells increases by 50%. Attribute Awakening (Level 1: Mountain), 20% additional light damage on hit, using a support skill will also apply it to another ally.]

Additional light damage on hit and a change to how he uses support skills

It was only a two-sentence change in effects but the effects were definitely more than just that.

The light attribute was one of the hardest attributes to resist in The World of Eternity.

And as such, this effect was going to be effective in the future even against enemies with high resistance.

And its not common for an on-hit effect to have high additional damage like that.

Most effects that gave bonus on-hit attribute damage were 1~5% at most. Yzmokans blessing, however, gave a whole 20%.

This meant that Jamad could even face opponents who were resistant to physical damage.

And the effect of buffing another ally when they buff themselves

This ones

Right now, this effect only applied to the Rock Armor skill.

But even that was extremely good. Support skills had cooldowns and doubling the effects of it with one cast was already a huge bonus.

And this effect will just continue to get better the more support skills Jamad learns.

One of Seols theories about clearing The World of Eternity was to work extremely hard in the early game.

In the early game, The World of Eternity gave items with unique, extraordinary effects and special summons. You were also able to acquire Adventures and helpers that could influence the world. Going through hardships now made it much easier in the future.

The things that he gained in this Adventure were going to be extremely helpful later. It was just like setting a sturdy foundation.

Lastly, the titles.

[[Title: Ghost Slayer]

Related Achievement: Pacify (Adventure: The Hall of Self-Control)

Bonus Effect: Deal 10% increased damage to spirit-type enemies.]

Thats somewhat useful.

[[Title: Great Warrior of Yzmokan]

Related Achievement: Protect the Hall (Adventure: The Hall of Self-Control)

Bonus Effect: All stats increase by 5%.]

Seol couldnt help but nod to himself after seeing Jamads title.

All of these rewards are amazing.

Seol thought it was a good decision to trust his instincts and wait for Borgo.

These rewards were so amazing that he probably took everything that was possible from this Adventure.

[I dont know~ has donated 300 Madness!]

[Are these rewards really that good?]

- Yeah, they are. He practically got better rewards than a 5-man party by himself.

- Diamond hands.

- Diamond hands to the moon! Incredible!

- Just watch theres no person or team who earned as many rewards as Snowman

- Snowman, the King of the South! He worked so hard and hes finally reaping the benefits for it TT

Seol stretched and then placed his hand on the End Adventure interface.

* * *

Bzzzzt

Seol could instantly tell that he was transported to the outskirts of Kongory.

Its too quiet this time.

Since everyone went on different Adventures starting from the 3rd one, the duration that people were away were all different.

This meant that the timing at which people were transported back was all different too.

And this time, Seol was the only person who was transported back.

[Next is the Points Leaderboard up to Adventure 4.]

Ding

[Your information is set to Private.]

[You have 599,300 Points.]

[Adventurer Points Leaderboard

1. Private (599,300)

2. Private (300,010)

3. FireAnt (210,000)

4. YahooIsekai (189,290)

5. PinkPwincess (150,400)]

There was a slight change in rankings.

Judging by how the former 2nd Place disappeared from the rankings, it was likely that they died.

Even though there was a change in the rankings, Seols lead was still overwhelmingly large compared to other people.

- Hes just smurfing on them

- How is the difference in points this high?

- Im pretty sure their combat abilities are an even bigger gap. Thats just the difference in Adventurer Points

- I guess that makes sense since he has Jamad and Karuna-chan hes just a one-man army sheesh

- If Jamad tells you to get on your knees and beg, it wouldn't be embarrassing to do that at all.

- Jamads scary but Snowman looks kinda weak.

- Hes not weak though. He looks weak.

- Thats just the case for all summoners though lol

[You losers has donated 300 Madness!]

[Snowman doesnt worry about that at all, got it?]

- Thats true, Snowman only thinks about his summons!

- He gives whatever items he gets to his summons lol

- ???: Put this on Jamad! These are your swaddling clothes!

- Hes greedy but not for himself Hes kinda like a family man who lives in a big city?

- TT It must be hard being a dad.

[You begin your Rest.]

[Your Key Location Rest is starting.]

[Break 2. Kongory, the free city.]

[Break 2. Kongory, the free city

In The World of Eternity, Kongory is located in South Pandea.

It is a well-stocked city with many happy citizens.

Adventurers must take plenty of rest and training here, or at another rest location, before preparing for the next Adventure.

Objective: Rest and maintenance.

You will be tired upon failure.

Remaining Time: [About 30 days]]

It was currently night.

There definitely werent any transferees who finished their Adventures at a similar time as Seol since the entrance was quite barren.

It was barren and open.

I wonder how many people died this time.

It was hard for Seol to estimate since his Adventure finished quickly.

However, judging by the fact the four people who went on the Adventure with him were dead a lot have probably died.

Still, Seol didnt think it was a shame nor did he pity them. He was also in a situation where death was imminent.

Seol calmly looked for a place to sleep.

But as he was walking he felt a gaze, watching him.

Seol didnt show any signs that he knew the person was trailing.

Who are they? Are they a member of the Predator Guild?

Did they already find out that their guild members died?

But what if they arent a member of the Predator Guild?

He never did anything eye-catching though

Then for now

Seol swiftly turned into an alley.

Dash!

The person who was chasing him also hurried into the alley.

And then

Swirl!

Raise

Uh Uhhh

Karuna had quickly raised his sword at the unknown pursuers neck.

Karuna could easily kill them at Seols signal. And it wouldnt be strange as transferees often killed each other here.

Why were you following me?

......

Its not like there arent other ways for me to find out just because youre not talking right now.

In truth, it was hard to find anything out unless Seol took violent measures.

It was just that Seol was willing to choose those options if circumstances came to it.

Because in this world, the world that they entered, weakness would just make others take advantage of you. It was much more difficult to survive if you werent willing to become cold.

...I know.

You know what?

The person who had been pursuing Seol took off their hood.

He had a childish face. He was most likely a high schooler.

I know that youre Private.

Private?

The only person who came into the city when the rankings changed was you, hyung. I have been waiting for you.

Seol hadnt been attentive of that at all.

But still, now that he thought about it he wasnt cautious of it since it wasnt information that he necessarily had to hide.

But why did he wait for me?

Seol asked a question after realizing he didnt have any ill intent.

Why? Why were you waiting for me?

The boy, after resolving himself, opened his lips
