The curse of restraint.
This means that the ownership and influence of the artifact itself lies with the entity that has been restrained.
That is, the wearer has no authority whatsoever. They are merely wearing it.
The artifact is cursed, and the fact that you have been wearing it for so long means… … .
It meant that he had been exposed to curses and bondage for a long time.
Perhaps even if the trio regretted their current lives and wanted to go back to the past, they wouldn’t be able to do so.
Because a curse placed on a constellation of evil disposition cannot be shaken off with a simple change of heart.
“hmm.”
Sang-Hyeon took out the artifact.
I did touch the artifact when I first killed the trio. Just for a little bit.
At that moment, I felt like my soul was being sucked out, so I let go.
Because the battle was short-lived and my concentration was slightly waning, I was being as careful as possible.
But now, I was in a situation where I could focus solely on the artifact, and I started making contact right away.
Right then.
Kwaaaaa… … !
‘It’s a surprise.’
From the moment he properly grasped the artifact, what entered Sang-Hyeon’s field of vision was a giant ‘eye’.
A volcano that constantly erupts magma.
At the top, a giant eye was staring at the upper world.
For a moment, it felt like I was in a completely different world than the gate.
“… … .”
As Sang-Hyeon moved to the left, the direction of the eyes also moved along with Sang-Hyeon. They were unpleasant eyes.
– It was you.
At that moment, Sang-Hyeon could understand what those eyes meant.
A being that is the exact opposite of the God of Storms. It seemed to be the eye of disaster!
“Are you the cowardly god?”
Sang-Hyeon threw the comment hard.
I thought there was no reason to be careful. Wasn’t it already fate that I was on the same boat as the god of storms?
Even if the contract with the Storm God is broken, there is no way that the relationship with the Eye of Calamity will improve.
In that case, it would be better to score points with the Storm God. After all, it’s a sure thing, right?
– How cheeky.
“A god who put a curse of binding on himself because he was afraid of the players’ betrayal. Doesn’t anyone think he’s a coward?”
– You shouldn’t have trusted the storm god.
“Then, if I trust you, will things be any different?”
– I can give you a power stronger than the Storm God can give you.
“Are you stronger than the Storm Goddess?”
– Are you calling that a word?
“That’s really strange. But why don’t you think about fighting and winning, and instead just open your mouth like this?”
– You bastard who can’t tell the difference between heaven and earth!
Quagagagaga!
As the roar of the Eye of Calamity, full of rage, erupted, a huge gust of hot air engulfed Sang-Hyeon.
It was a hot wind that would have burned away long ago if it had not come to this space in the form of a ‘soul’.
The throne was the throne.
Of course, Sang-Hyeon did not take the weight of the name Shinjwa lightly.
‘It’s clear that the artifact is cursed. To lift it… … we have no choice but to turn our attention to Japan.’
Sang-Hyeon recalled a person who was vivid in his memory.
A person who, like Han Hyun-jung, has the limitation of not being able to kill, but can exert more sacred power than anyone else.
‘Katsuragi.’
I have to meet him.
Then, we can clearly identify the source of the curse on this artifact.
Furthermore, we can delve deeper into the hidden dark side, the Eye of Calamity. If so, it is possible.

After getting enough rest.
The two set off again.
In this advance, Sang-Hyeon relatively minimized his movements, while Do-Kyung-Hye moved diligently.
The reason was simple.
If you remove the monsters in the form of a ‘reverse buff’, there are some sections that can be dealt with quite easily.
This was a task that even Sang-Hyeon could not do, and in Korea, only Do Kyung-Hye could do it.
It is a complete reversal of the mechanism of the amplification buff that Do Kyung-hye gives to Sang-hyeon.
In the big picture, it’s a debuff.
If you look closely, it was a distortion of the buff that ate away at the opponent’s vitality more destructively than the debuff.
The buffs that Do Kyung-hye mainly utilized were defense enhancement and combat power enhancement.
When this was reversed and buffed, the monsters’ defenses dropped sharply and their combat abilities dropped significantly.
There was absolutely no need for Sang-Hyeon to go through the trouble of using skills.
If you move quickly enough and swing your sword around, you will fall like fallen autumn leaves.
There were often guys who tried to somehow endure the reverse buff.

At that time, all that was needed was for Sang-Hyeon to use the mana and skills he had not used for a while. The process was simple.
“I don’t understand why we didn’t attack this gate first and it got to be our turn. Right?”
“Ugh.”
Do Kyung-hye laughed at Sang-hyeon’s words.
They say that when you have no sense of humor, you end up laughing in vain, and this is exactly the situation.
She added.
“Sang-Hyeon is so ridiculous that this kind of ridiculous situation happens. Don’t you know?”
“Is it too obvious?”
“Very. Very. Very obvious.”
“ha ha ha.”
“Heh heh.”
There was no crisis up to this point.
In fact, at this point, he should be quite satisfied, but Sang-Hyeon’s expression was darker than before.
‘I need to go to a dungeon that can push me harder, so I can grow faster than I am now.’
That is because, unlike others, Sang-Hyeon is always looking up high.
You’ve obtained one Almighty-grade artifact greatsword, but that’s not the end of it.
If you look around the world, there are players who are casually wearing two or three of these artifacts.
Jeron D. Kay is a typical example. In front of him, even Sang-Hyeon becomes infinitely small.
That’s why I can’t be satisfied.
This is why this gate attack, which is filled with only one-sided massacres, is unsatisfactory.
If you had cleared a much higher level dungeon in the same amount of time, you would have gotten better rewards and more experience points.
Of course, the gate conquest is not over yet, but at least for now, it seems like it is sailing smoothly.
“The guy we’re going to face now is the final mid-boss monster. Is this the end of the information we have?”
“That’s right. Wizard Idrain. The last known monster.”
“There’s no information at all about the boss monster, so I guess that’s something we’ll have to worry about once we face it in person.”
“That’s right. Optional waiver is also possible.”
The reason Do Kyung-hye chose the word ‘possible’ is because she thought that Sang-hyun would not give up.
Sang-hyun has a surprising amount of similarities with his older brother Do Kyung-soo in terms of competitiveness and desire to conquer.
So Do Kyung-hye thought that Sang-hyeon would never give up. She was also mentally armed.
“I think it would be better to quickly catch Idrain first. What do you think?”
“Is there any player who doesn’t want to catch it quickly… … .”
Because Sang-Hyeon asked such an obvious question so calmly, Do-Kyung-Hye’s eyes filled with question marks.
Wizard Idraine.
This is a guy that made all the players who had previously tried to conquer him stick out their tongues.
There was just one reason.
It was because of a special magic called Idrain Hole. It sucked in everything around it like a black hole.
player?
Of course, this was no exception.
Everyone died here.
If I had survived, I would have run away.
This is because there is no estimate that can calculate the destruction method itself.
How can you fight against being sucked in? The only way to fight back is to escape faster than that speed.
The problem is that if you focus only on escaping, Idrain will blow magic and hit you further.
In other words, there was no answer in the end because I had to die no matter what. The Idrain Hole was that destructive.
‘There is a detour route, but… … .’
Her gaze turned towards the side road leading northeast from Sang-Hyeon.
If you go that way, you’ll have to take a whole day’s detour, but you won’t have to attack Idrain.
“Ms. Kyung-hye, let’s not even think about taking a detour. There are ways to counter him, there are ways.”
“Counter… … right?”
Counter, the meaning of the word is heavy.
In short, there is a way to disable the Idrain Hole. But how?
As Do Kyung-hye began to get to know Sang-hyeon in earnest, there was one keyword that often came to mind.
It was a ‘question mark’.
Sang-Hyeon never said or did anything that could end with a period. That means he was not ordinary.
Whenever I looked at Sang-Hyeon, my thoughts would end with an exclamation point or a question mark. Almost every time.
“Ms. Kyung-hye.”
“yes?”
“There’s a fatal buff, right? The buff that returns to a 1-day cooldown.”
“Oh, is it a runaway train?”
“Yes. Put that on me. As soon as we leave.”
“But… … Then I might not be able to use it when needed against boss monsters.”
“It’s okay. I have a cooldown reset skill. I can reset it whenever I need to.”
“What did you say?”
One more exclamation mark is added.
How can you say so naturally that you have a skill that resets cooldown time?
It was the first time that Do Kyung-hye, who had been through all kinds of hardships, had heard of such a skill.
“Just give me a wild ride. Then I can just watch. Now it’s my turn to go wild.”
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“You don’t believe me?”
No way.
I trust you so much that it’s worrying.
However, it is questionable whether there is a surefire way to deal with a mid-boss monster, especially one so infamous.
Oppa, Do Kyungsoo has never spoken so confidently about the outcome of a match.
At that moment.
Idrain’s gaze, which had been wandering around, landed on Sang-Hyeon. It was the start of a battle.
“Exactly one second later!”
“all right!”
Pfft!
As soon as she finished speaking, Sang-Hyeon’s new figure quickly disappeared far away from her side.
The strong storm created by the movement of acceleration and rushing was enough to push Do Kyung-hye’s body backwards.
at that time.
“hmm?”
Idrain tilted his head as he watched Sang-Hyeon rushing towards him without hesitation like a moth to a flame.
What were the words of the player who had been rushing forward so fearlessly until now?
They’re all dead. Not a single one is left behind.
That too was sucked into the Idrain Hole and went to the other world where even the body could not be found. It was evaporation.
But there are foolish people who try to repeat the same mistakes.
Ignorance must be punished accordingly! A smile appeared on Idraine’s lips.
Over and over. Over and over.
He immediately deployed his ultimate skill, ‘Idrain Hole’.
The black sphere that left his hand in that moment quickly expanded in volume and began to fly towards Sang-Hyeon.
If you were to bring in a miniaturized black hole, it would look exactly like this.
‘Even if you have the title of mid-boss monster, the mana you use is calculated, right?’
Contrary to Do Kyung-hye’s anxious expression, Sang-hyeon had already made his own calculations.
It was a solid and accurate prediction based on data.
That was the maximum amount of mana that Idraine’s magic could consume.
‘No matter how great a guy is, he doesn’t use more than 2,000 mana.’
The calculations had already been completed.
And within that expectation, Sang-Hyeon had the skill to definitely take down the Idrain Hole.
It’s the extreme.
It was a magical predation skill that was naturally equipped to Sang-Hyeon as he obtained the Nameless Sword.
