Artifact-Devouring Player Chapter 139

139
■ Title Introduction: The resentment and hatred you have for thoroughly slaughtering ghouls is passed on to the ghouls.

The ghouls who have memories of the massacre of their own kind no longer have the will to resist you.

This applies to all ghoul-type monsters, including mid-boss monsters and boss monsters.

They fall into a state of permanent despair before you, the slayer.

‘It’s the undead version of the wolf dog.’

It was a very valid title.

This applies to all ghoul monsters, from the lowest ghoul to armor ghouls, mad ghouls, and ghoul kings.

Even after seeing the upper body, one cannot commit any hostile acts.

Even if a Frozen Mage gives a battle order, the effect of the Ghoul Slayer title takes precedence.

Even if the battle order is to fight or be killed, they can never be hostile.

‘If there’s a ghoul boss monster, it’s just a scarecrow. Do I have a chance?’

It was a fun imagination.

In any case, it is rare to find a title that can completely neutralize a specific type of monster.

This dungeon isn’t the only place where there are ghouls, and you’ll encounter them countless times.

Right then.

[SS-rank title, [Holy Spirit Guide] is granted.]

‘The leader of the Holy Spirit? I never heard that Do Kyung Soo had such a title.’

A new title has appeared again.

The SS-rank title is a precious title that only one person, Sang Hyeon-do, has ever obtained – the Tuner of Illusions.

Even for named players, there are many cases where they will never obtain an SS rank title.

So, even though the frequency of appearance itself is very low, a new title suddenly appeared for Sang-Hyeon.

Judging from the name, it clearly seemed to be a title related to the lampstand of the Holy Spirit.

■ Title Introduction: This is a holy title given to the first 10 heroes who activated the Lighthouse of the Holy Spirit.

The giver of the title is the constellation ‘The Lightbringer’. He is also the reserve god of the Dimensional Order.

‘If it’s a reserve divine seat… … . There are a total of 100 divine seats, and they are the ones ranked 101st to 105th in the hierarchy who are on standby in case they lose their rank.’

It was a title given by a constellation with considerable presence. In other words, it was not an ordinary title.

■ Title Introduction: This title provides the title’s owner with a total of three linked passive skills.

First, the holy temple.

Damage dealt against undead is always increased by 200%.

Second, a persistent judge.

Adds 200% damage to pact holders who make a pact with a constellation that is not neutral or good but evil.

However, the damage taken from them also increases by 100%. This can be a double-edged sword in some cases.

Third, protection of the sacred.

Complete immunity to neurotoxins and paralyzing toxins, mainly caused by undead monsters, is maintained at all times.

‘Ah, so that’s why Do Kyung Soo went to the Undead dungeon so often in his past life because of this special privilege. I get it.’

He must have loved undead dungeons so much that in his past life, Do Kyung Soo’s nickname was not ‘Sword Ghost’ but ‘Undead Ghost’.

Looking at the mention of the first and third skills of the passive, it was just a gift given to defeat undead monsters.

Because it unilaterally increases damage and provides complete immunity to difficult status effects.

Judging from the fact that there was no particular reaction from Lee Ga-hee or Jeong Jun-hyeok.

It seemed to be a title privilege given only to Sang-Hyeon, who personally held the handle and activated the Lighthouse of the Holy Spirit.

‘Tenacious Judge is also pretty good. The damage I take is doubled, but the opponent takes tripled. It’s a profitable trade.’

I also liked the second skill.

Of course, the persistent judge would likely be more useful to players than monsters.

This will be especially effective against evil-doing constellation predators, since all of the contracted constellations will be evil-oriented.

‘It’s a passive skill that can be turned on and off as needed. It doesn’t consume any additional mana, so it’s very good.’

You’ve got a really nice title.

Just like Do Kyung-soo in his past life, Sang-hyun now seems to want to go to a dungeon where the main concept is the undead.

That place will be a dungeon where you can just lie down and eat rice cake. It’s almost like they’re feeding you rice cake.

‘I didn’t know the butterfly effect of regression would be this strong.’

The more I looked back on the past, the deeper the surprise became.

In the end, the fact that I was able to receive two precious titles in a row today was also the butterfly effect created by my relationship with Do Kyung-soo.

If I had lived the same life as my previous life, I would never have met him, and today’s strategy would not have existed.

The beginning of this incident was ultimately caused by the constellation of ‘model student of waiting’ regressing to himself… … .

There is still no news from the person concerned. Of course, that person also does not know about his previous life.

5 minutes later.

Sang-Hyeon, who had reached a position where the main force was within sight, spoke to Lee Ga-Hee and Jeong Jun-Hyeok.

“Okay, from now on we’ll work individually. Since we’ll be chasing the defeated troops anyway, I don’t think strategy or tactics will be important.”

To put it simply, it was a story about having fun. It was easy to kill monsters that were running away in a ragtag group.

“Yes, then I’ll go over there. I want to take this opportunity to see how the main force fights.”

“I will also continue towards the main building.”

Lee Ga-hee and Jeong Jun-hyeok had the same thoughts.

As they participated as mercenaries, it was important to get Do Kyung-soo’s attention. Their choice was wise.

Sang-Hyeon said a brief farewell.

“See you later.”

However, Sang-Hyeon’s thoughts were different.

There is no need or reason to try to look good to Do Kyung Soo.

Anyway, just by turning on the lighthouse of the Holy Spirit, Do Kyung Soo’s perspective on himself would have changed.

Even if you think it’s strange, why is that? Sang-Hyeon has never acted while looking at someone’s face from the beginning.

“Okay, then let’s go try to skip the middleman! Frozen Mage definitely has a countermeasure!”

Sang-Hyeon began to run towards the center of the battlefield with light steps.

A few fearless ghouls, mummies, and whites tried to block Sang-Hyeon’s path, but it was no use.

The severed head flew through the air just as the sword passed by without touching it, confirming its death.

Pa-pa-pa-pa! Pa-pa-pa! Pa-pa-pa!

Using descending currents and the law of the jungle, Sang-Hyeon quickly advanced from the outskirts of the undead army to the center.

From the beginning, Sang-Hyeon’s sight was filled only with mid-boss level monsters, not insignificant monsters.

Each and every one of them was a living, unique artifact. I couldn’t give them up.

* * *

The battle situation changed dramatically and gained speed thanks to a huge shot fired by Sang-Hyeon.

In a battle with a 100% chance of winning, the Sword Ghost and Sword God team could not possibly hesitate to force their way through.

It’s the same with Sang-Hyeon and his party, they really killed countless monsters.

The level that went up steadily was a bonus.

Sang-Hyeon then caught four more Frozen Mages.

No player on Do Kyung-soo’s team has ever taken down five Frozen Mages on their own.

Even Do Kyung Soo has three.

Even though it was just a simple kill score, it was ahead in terms of kills. This was something that had never been done before.

And when the battle was over.

Do Kyung-soo and Choi Si-hoo, who checked the time it took to attack and the scene again, couldn’t help but be astonished.

When Sang-Hyeon was not around, the 1st and 2nd phases, which took almost a week to complete, were shortened to just one day.

Is it because the Sword God-Sword God team did well?

No it wasn’t.

They always did well, and that was a constant, not a variable.

What is unique about this strategy is that ‘Sang-Hyeon’ is involved.

He activated the lamp of the Holy Spirit and furthermore, he secured the initiative from the beginning of the battle.

This was the variable.

Do Kyung-soo saw the back of Sang-hyun, who was cleaning the sword covered in blood and flesh.

He was cheerfully greeting people passing by and working hard on his beloved bottle.

If he had been working that hard alone, he would have been tired, but for some reason, he showed no sign of fatigue at all.

Do Kyung-soo felt sore in his upper body and felt embarrassed as he shook his shoulders.

Choi Si-hoo said, after confirming that there were no traces of the undead in front of the palace.

“This is a total disaster, Master.”

“Not only did we save time, we also saved a lot of the potions we had prepared. Everyone’s physical condition is also good.”

“That’s right. The positive effects are too numerous to list in one or two categories. I hope your condition in Phase 3 will be good as well.”

“Up until now, we’ve always challenged Phase 3 while we were very tired. I was the same way.”

“That’s right. But in the current situation, it’s similar to challenging phase 3 as soon as you enter the dungeon.”

“I really owe Shin Sang-hyun a debt that can’t be converted into money. How on earth did he do all this by himself?”

Do Kyung Soo didn’t understand.

This is completely different from what Do Kyung-soo meant when he told Sang-hyun to watch him for a while at the beginning of the campaign.

What he meant was that instead of seeing Sang-Hyeon as an ordinary prosecutor, we should watch his unique skills.

However, the current situation was a ‘catastrophic change’ that completely changed the landscape of dungeon raiding.

Not only did it reduce the time required to attack a phase by one-seventh, it also changed the battle pattern.

If you asked Do Kyung Soo if he could do the same thing, I was confident that I would say no without hesitation.

For the first time since becoming a player.

“… … .”

Do Kyungsoo felt a thrill in the silent silence. Was there perhaps some absurd future for Sanghyun?

Even though I know it sounds absurd, the shock today was so great that I thought that way.

This is not a situation that can be dismissed as luck. This is a thoroughly planned and predicted situation.

“Shin Sang-hyun, Shin Sang-hyun… … .”

Do Kyung Soo’s habit of constantly repeating things unconsciously when his head is full of thoughts.

His habits, which had not been seen for a while, had returned. The way he looked at Sang-hyeon had also changed.

From the way he looked fondly at the latecomer who was chasing him, to the sharp gaze he had when looking at his competitors.

A sense of competition was being created that had never existed before.

* * *

Same time.

Sang-Hyeon was carefully cleaning the True Sword and checking his changed condition one by one.

Level is 172.

Thanks to diligently slaughtering monsters on my own, I’ve gained quite a bit of experience points. I’ve even leveled up by 6.

In addition, he had separately collected 15 top-grade magic stones, worth 15 billion won in cash.

‘The unique artifact is three rings and a belt. The rings are wearable, but I’ll have to eat the belt.’

Sang-Hyeon whetted his appetite as he looked at the belt that showed off the unique grade’s characteristic color.

Since the ‘Belt of Rising Current’ I was wearing was epic grade, I couldn’t surpass it in a simple comparison.

However, the configuration options were ambiguous enough to sell. In the end, it was likely to be sold for less than the average transaction price.

‘Is it true that it comes with 800,000 defense when it’s a unique grade?’

Sang-Hyeon clicked his tongue at the regrettable stats and immediately went into mana synchronization.

Defense will increase by 48 based on the formula of 60% absorption rate, and hidden effects will be unlocked in the process.

Up until now, skills have appeared with a high probability, but the possibility of stat inflation cannot be ruled out.

‘But if possible, I’d rather have skills than stats. I wonder if it’s too much of a luxury to hope for a rare skill that’s more valuable than usual. Heh heh.’

Sang-Hyeon went into the artifact meal with a sense of hopelessness that he rarely had.

A meal that was nothing special. It was so bland that it was pointless to even leave a review.

and.

“uh?”

As the stats were inherited, Sang-Hyeon’s expression changed as he confirmed the new guy who appeared as a hidden skill as usual.

“Counterattack curtain?”

A new concept skill with a completely different form from anything used before has appeared.
