Chapter 366: Haste (1)

A few days later.

On that day, I logged into ‘Revival Legend’ early in the morning, as usual.

After hunting hard, I was about to log out for a short break when I received a message from Director Sok.

[Insu Sok: Can I talk to you now?]

[Lumen: Yes, go ahead.]

[Insu Sok: Do you remember the Talagapa Guild guys who came to Myongjin Shelter a few days ago?]

[Lumen: Of course, I do.]

How could I not remember them?

Even though I turned down their offer, I was very tempted to move with them alone because their offer was so attractive that I really found it hard to reject at first.

At that moment, Director Sok’s message rang.

[Sok: According to our latest information, it seems that they have used the Judgement Key. Obviously, they moved as carefully as possible to limit their exposure, but given that some of the top executives including Rodrigo, the guild Leader, suddenly disappeared from the public…]

[Lumen: I see. They finally moved.]

[Sok: Right. ]

[Lumen: Got it.]

If they return safely in 30 days, I will probably kick my own butt for a long time.

But even though I regretted my decision, I had something to do. action

I needed more information about the place they were visiting, and there was no more reliable information than experience.

So I needed to know when they headed for that place to get that information.

“Hmm…”

When I heard that they finally departed for the place, I had mixed feelings.

To get the necessary information I wanted, I wished they could succeed.

At the same time, I also wished they could fail. To be honest, I preferred them to fail.

For I didn’t want others to achieve what I didn’t, and in this case, my decision would be right only if they failed.

But I quickly shook my head.

“No! My decision was right! That’s why I didn’t make the choice that would put me in jeopardy! Even if they received ten times the promised reward, they can never be my rival!”

What if they could have become stronger than me after receiving the reward?

In that case, I would have gone there even if the probability of me dying was over 50%.

But that was absolutely impossible because I had received far greater rewards before, even if the reward for this 30-day quest was huge.

That’s why I declined their offer. Anyway, I shook off such extremely narrow-minded feelings.

Instead, I muttered to myself, “Good luck, guys. I’ll see you in 30 days.”

I really hoped they would come back, along with lots of information about the place.

Then I resumed hunting and because there was no better stress relief than beating up the monsters.

The next day.

“Whew.”

I let out a long breath.

Because of the Talagapa Guild in Argentina?

Of course not.

Since they already used the Judgement Key, I could not interfere with them any longer. No.

I heaved a long sigh for a different reason, namely, the treasure box.

I received the treasure box as a reward for traveling with a whopping 10,000 people.

Until now, I have only opened two treasure boxes

I received the upgraded roots from the first treasure box.

I didn’t get the trait, ‘All Buffs All Debuffs’ directly from the second treasure box, but I got the trait shards that gave me it, after all.

In other words, what I obtained from the two treasure boxes were literally invaluable treasures.

So I had choice but to hold my breath before I opened the treasure box that I obtained from the latest quest.

“Well, this is just a bonus anyway. I have already obtained so many rewards for winning so many events and quests. So even if I just obtain something trivial, it’s still a good profit for me.”

After uttering words to reassure myself, I stopped dragging my feet and opened it immediately.

Bang!

Then a huge light emitted from the treasure box, and soon an item appeared.

It was none other than a charm.

“…”

Of course, the charm was not necessarily bad for me because I was already wearing two more rings than others thanks to the myth-grade item expansion charm. And they provided me with great effects.

But honestly I wanted something other than the charm because there were much better items.

But I had to check out what kind of charm it was, so I opened my mouth quietly.

“Check item.”

[Three ancient cooldown removal charms(Legendary)

– A use of the charm resets one of your current cooldowns to zero. If you have two or more cooldowns, you can choose only one.]

“…”

I couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

Because I liked the item so much? Or because I was so disappointed?

Of course, that was not the reason.

“How stupid! I already have two of these charms. If I used them, I could have neutralized the 30-day cooldown after using the Judgment Key!”

As a matter of fact, I already had two ancient charms.

What’s more, I also had the 100% Enhancement Success Charm that I obtained in the level 100 only limited quest, but I was saving it to upgrade the Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword to +15.

However, I was willing to use one of the charms to get 3,000 remaining stat points, 30,000 coins, and 3 billion golden rings.

Moreover, that was not all.

Obviously, if I moved with the Argentine guild members and got rid of the enemies, I could also get points. With the points I could purchase not only coins, but also precious EXP and remaining skill points. In other words, I had to go there along with the Argentine guild members.

After all, I had this kind of hidden card that could get me out of any possible dangerous situation. But I didn’t think as far as that when I saw the Argentine guild members yesterday. And the Talagapa Guild guys had already used the Judgement Key to head for that place .

“…”

For a while, I had no choice but to stare blankly into the air, holding the three ancient cooldown removal charms in my hands.

A little later I made the conclusion that there was no point in crying over spilt milk.

No matter how much I regretted my decision, there was no way for me to revoke my decision and join them.

So I tried to justify my decision.

“Yeah, I’ve saved one charm. Since I obtained three more this time, I can enhance Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword to +15 Enhancement quite soon.”

Of course, I would have had lots of regrets if I had obtained only one ancient charm with zero cooldown in the treasure box this time, for one charm was too small, considering the value of the treasure box.

Nonetheless, I got as many as three charms, not one or two.

So, I had a total of five cooldown removal charms, including the previous two, as well as one 100% Enhancement Success charm, so if I succeeded in enhancing the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword to +9, I could make it +15 Enhancement, the last stage of enhancement, immediately.

“Alright. Since the Guardian Sword is +7 Enhancement right now, a couple of enhancements is all I need to get to +15 Enhancement?”

At that moment, I had no choice but to tremble a bit, thinking about the +15 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword.
