‘The sword must have some sort of effect. Maybe it was that buff?’
It was natural that there were effects other than a simple stat increase.
Because it was a “legendary” item that only five are registered in the entire Middle Earth auction house.
Not to mention, at Kuzgunak’sh’s lair, he commanded the juvenile-class dragons to only bring the best ones, so the effect would be overwhelming even among the legendary ones.
‘And what about its attack power on top of such a defensive option? It takes about a second to swing once, but the attack power is 2,000…’
What about 45 hits per minute, assuming the opponent didn’t use any defensive skills and didn’t dodge?
The full damage per minute would be 90,000. It also meant that it was that much even without using attack skills.
In actual combat, all sorts of skills such as evasion and defense, as well as various buffs, were cast in order to protect one’s own HP, so it was theoretically possible, but the legendary sword had the effect of a legendary sword.
‘But what kind of effect did the buff provide to produce such an overwhelming result?’
However, since Leeha couldn’t wear the items, he didn’t know what effect the buff and skill provided.
The words paladin and saint go well with Kijung. Also, Leeha thought that the effect of recovering 20% of maximum HP every 8 seconds would go well with the tank Kijung, so he gave it to him.
When Leeha tilted his head thinking about the effect of the buff, Kijung, the only person who knew the contents, was looking at Leeha with a proud expression.
[Patron Saint: Nameless Paladin’s Will]
Description: “I felt the light of the Lord envelop me. After that, the pain became a pleasure and my testimony to the Lord.”
Effect: 40% damage reduction for melee attacks
Abnormal Status ‘Stun’ Resistance + 100%
It was an effect that made Kijung, a tanker, almost invincible!
It was because the ‘Legendary Sword’, which permanently applied the buff as long as he held it without using any mana, became his own.
‘This is really the best, hyung.’
“Right… So I guess that’s why they only needed 3 days.”
“Yes? What?”
After the battle between Kijung and the ‘Heresy Inquisitor’, Leeha was able to understand the reason for the duration of the tournament by watching the fights of other users.
“This is not reality, so they don’t need any recovery time. They just need to drink a potion. Even so, if it takes 3 days for the selection process-”
Hwak-! Leeha’s index fingers pointed here and there.
Camera-like items were filming the gymnasium from various angles.
“-They had to choose who to take. It wasn’t just Fibiel, it was being held in several places at the same time, so wouldn’t it mean that they would record everything first, review it, and then select? Of course. it would take time to inspect all these battles one by one.”
“Heh, I see. I thought they were only filming to make Y-tube videos.”
“Well, it might be useful for something like that. Is it going to be on Middle Earth’s official channel?”
Most of the experts gathered here would already be using the recording prevention scroll, and it would be difficult to overcome the effect with individual recording.
Since it was data that required the power of Middle Earth, it was only natural that individuals would not be able to use it for profit activities.
‘Fernand-ssi is going to have a hard time… Kilkil. I’m so glad he said that he would take care of it.’
What if Fernand didn’t step forward?
Leeha had to take charge of everything from persuading kings to selecting expedition members. Just imagining it was terrifying.
‘No, but the selection…… is Fernand-ssi going to do it alone? Wouldn’t that be strange as well?’
Leeha, who was holding back a laugh, suddenly had a question.
In any case, Fernand was not suitable for the adventurer job, the composition of battle skills, the damage for each skill, and the evaluation of situational judgment during battle.
‘Of course, it would be stronger than most normal users, but in this situation, someone else would-’
???: Leeha-ssi, uh, based on the location, you must be watching in Fibiel, right? That’s good. Please cover about 20 people including the winner of the tournament on the Fibiel.
Fernand’s voice suddenly echoed in Leeha’s head.
The sense of foreboding he felt hit the mark.
Leeha: Huh? What?
Fernand: First of all, we will select each country and then gather them all together to decide on the final 40 people. Since all of the descendants of the heroes decided to participate, there will only be 20 remaining seats, but after narrowing down enough candidates-
Leeha: W-wait a minute. Me? You want me to choose?
Fernand: The video can be reviewed immediately within Middle Earth, so call Lee Jiwon, Kidd, or Luger nearby and watch it together.
You can call other descendants of heroes or something. Anyway, the final list of Fibiel should come out by the end of today! That way, we can finish the final selection in Ezwen tomorrow!
Leeha: uh, uh, uh, Fernand-
Click. Fernand’s whisper cut off mercilessly.
It meant that you are so busy that you can’t talk like you normally do. Knowing its meaning, Leeha couldn’t bear to send a whisper again and refuse.
“Waaa……. This is driving me crazy.”
“Why?”
“Phew, Fernand-ssi, the new continent expedition-”
“Kkak! This time, it’s the Dragon Knight’s guild master’s turn! His opponent is ‘Ascendant Mu’! Ascendant Baeju, Ascendant Mu, fighting! Gulp, this will be fun!”
“Huh……? Bobae-ssi?”
Bobae paid attention to Leeha for a very short time and quickly paid attention to the tournament.
“Haaa……. Call descendants of heroes, Kidd, Luger, Lee Jiwon, or someone else, but the tournament is already in full swing?”
Anyway, since Leeha was asked to do so, he couldn’t do it half-heartedly. He changed his posture to look at the battles from a different perspective than earlier.
“Dragon Knight’s Guild Master…… Ah, it’s Gaeryong-nim.”
The Dragon Knights, who was a part of the Byeolcho Alliance that fought Ram Hwayeon’s Hwahong Guild in the past. The guild master of that guild also entered as a regular tournament participant.
‘No, that’s not all. If I look closely, aren’t there some familiar faces?’
When Leeha focused on the tournament he was trying to enjoy,
he could recognize some people.
‘Isn’t he the guild master of Somgwang? He has a sorcerer job.’
The guild master of Somgwang, which was also the part of Byeolcho Alliance, Euncheon.
‘Ah, indeed. He was next to Hyein-ssi. That’s right. Back then, Hyein was the guild master of Byeolcho, so the two of them must be close.’
There was an argument after the failed acquisition of Castle Dale, but it had been resolved to some extent, so Hyein treated him with a relatively calm face.
‘And over there- Eh? Biyemi-ssi! He came! I thought he wouldn’t be able to come!’
Biyemi, who said that he would need to see the situation, was talking to someone while giggling.
“Waaa?!”
“That surprised me! What’s wrong?”
“Th-that person-”
It was a long time since he saw the person Biyemi was talking to with a smile on his face, but there was no way Leeha would forget how he looked.
With patterns and naturalistic clothing having become more complex than before, and slightly more foolish with a hint of timidly and oblivious at the way he was looked at by the people around him.
“Jin Gonggong-ssi!?”
Even the druid Jin Gonggong joined the tournament.
“It’s beginning!”
With Bobae’s shout, the battle between the Dragon Knight’s guild master, Gaeryong, and the outsider ‘Ascetic Mu’ began.
From this battle until the end of all tournaments that day, Leeha watched every game closely without even standing up from his seat.
‘As objective as possible’
Including Kijung’s third match, Hyein, Biyemi, and Jin Gonggong, Leeha’s eyes flashed and shone with objective evaluation standards.
‘I don’t have time to call anyone. Other people may watch the recordings but I am the only one watching it live! I have to give it a thorough look first!’
However, Leeha didn’t know.
Who was screaming next to him, forgetting snacks, and couldn’t even blink properly.
The person who applied and was qualified to participate in the [New Continent Exedition].
[Descendant of the Archer Hero from the second Human-Demon War]
10th in the ranking, ‘Archer’ Bobae, was enjoying the tournament.
***
By the time the tournament was over and all participants and spectators had dispersed, the moon had already risen in Middle Earth.
All the people who were crowded around them had disappeared, and only a few people remained. The full moon shone brightly, making it feel even emptier.
“Well, you should have told me sooner.”
Leeha, one of the few remaining, grumbled.
He alternatively looked at the stack of draft evaluation papers filled with ‘dense notes’ and Bobae’s face.
It was so obvious that it was not something he said to himself, but to be heard, that even Bobae had no choice but to look at Leeha with a perplexed expression.
“I-I didn’t know that Leeha-ssi was doing that! They said that the descendant of the Archer Hero could join, so I playfully signed up…. No, if that’s the case, you should have told me! Let’s do this together.”
“You didn’t even listen to what I said!”
“It’s because you didn’t say anything.”
When Leeha was about to mention what he talked about with Fernand to Bobae, she cut off her conversation with Leeha by shouting ‘Taoist Baeju, Taoist Mu!’.
Leeha got even more upset and squirmed when he remembered what happened.
Even if he was over 30, things like this were not easy to manage. It was simply because Bobae was annoying.
“It’s hyung’s fault. If you had explained to Bobae-ssi properly, she would have helped you. No, wouldn’t she have done better than hyung?
She’s ranked 10th! She’s a strong fighter who can’t be defeated regardless if it’s melee or long range.”
And it was even more annoying seeing Kijung next to her shouting and defending her.
Leeha looked at Bobae and Kijung with absurd expressions and then looked at his draft evaluation sheet again.
He wasn’t even able to enjoy the tournament. He couldn’t blink because he didn’t want to miss an important scene. He was so focused that he felt dizzy……. Who would take away his sadness?
Step, step, step.
“Hyung? What’s the matter?”
Leeha quietly approached Kijung and extended his hand to express his sadness.
“Give me back the sword.”
In a ruthless tone.
“W-What?”
“If you side with Bobae-ssi, give me back the sword.”
“Hey, eong-ah. Why are you doing that? I was just saying, ehehehe.”
When Leeha made a sullen expression, Kijung quickly came to Leeeha’s side and gently rubbed his shoulders. Because he knew very well that Leeha had a personality that ‘easily sulks’.
Of course, it wouldn’t have been nice for Bobae to see that.
“Aw, you’re shameful. Kijung-ssi! Just give it back. Well, I don’t know what it is, but-…… I was wrong, Leeha-ssi. Hehe.”
Bobae stopped mid-sentence! She was initially angry but suddenly became quiet.
Leeha couldn’t help feeling absurd as he saw Bobae approach him with even a small smile.
‘Why did she change her attitude so quickly?’
Of course, Leeha found the answer.
“Kijung just whispered what kind of sword it is, right? Legendary rank? Did he say it has great performance?”
“Yes? N-no?! When I thought about it carefully, I thought ‘I should have helped first’ That’s right. Leeha-ssi, relax! What are you saying?”
Bobae approached Leeha, smiling like an old lady, and massaged Leeha’s shoulder! Paaak.
It was an action that was no different from bowing down, and people are still people…. Leeha’s grudge was naturally resolved.
“So, who are the 20 people that Leeha selected?”
“Ah! Right, hyung. Bobae-ssi should verify it.”
“It wouldn’t just be Bobae. I also don’t know because I only watched it in the middle……”
“Huh? What?”
Leeha opened his friend’s window and looked at the list.
Was he angry because Bobae didn’t help? Was he upset because Kijung fanned it? That wasn’t it.
Leeha took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Kidd! Luger! Lee Jiwon-ssi! Can’t you come out soon? Everyone saw what I was doing here, right? Is there no one who would offer to help!”
Because many other people were currently in Aelstock! There’s no way they would have just gone to shops in a day like this!
