Chapter 141

141 . Eternal Jewel Master



As soon as I finished talking, I walked towards where the skill books were .

The skill books’ ranking were low for a Lich King’s drop .

However, there was a skill book in that pile that we desperately needed right now .

It was a skill that we’ve never seen or heard of back on Earth .

Jong Ho stared at me, unable to hold back his curiosity .

“Did any good skill books drop?”

“Yes . ”

“Oh? Offensive spells? Shields? Perhaps a skill beyond ranking?”

“No, it’s not that good . It’s recovery . However, it’s not something specifically for us . ”

“Huh? Who’s going to use it?”

“Over there, on the ones guarding the place outside . ”

“Hm? That doesn’t make sense? You can’t use recovery spells on monsters . It doesn’t affect them . ”

“Not on monsters, summoned creatures . It looks like a healing spell for summoned creatures dropped . ”

“Is it a summoner class skill? As I said before, I don’t know that much about the summoner class . ”

“Yes . Thankfully it’s not class restricted . It looks like as long as you have the mana, any class can use it . ”

“Do you think that it would be effective?”

“… . . ”

“Think about it . The Devil Avatars and King Suwoo have grown to their limits already . This includes both their health and their offensive abilities . ”

“Of course, they’ve reached level 200 . ”

“Right . However, the skill that they’re learning is only level 1 . I guess what I’m trying to say is that it will help a little . But we shouldn’t expect much . I guess it’s like trying to fill a massive pool using a bucket . ”

“As expected from you, but what if the skill recovers as much as the amount of mana I have?”

“What?”

“That’s why I was smirking before . ”

“… . . ”

Without any hesitation, I put the skill book on my chest .

The skill book made a sound as if it was burning away before being absorbed into my chest .

The skill was obtained and the skill window had a new skill called Full Heal .

This was a skill that only healed summoned creatures, not Awakened, and its ability was healing as much as the amount of mana the caster had .

This meant that if someone like me who has infinite mana casts it, the summoned creatures would never run out of health .

The one thing that disappointed me was that it needed to be channeled .

Thanks to the dual casting passive, I can cast up to 3 spells at once . This meant that I had to invest one of the three slots .

Similar to my mana shield, that is .

However, this wasn’t an issue for us .

While we left the Gate for 6 hours at a time, if I healed them once in between that time, the summoned creatures would have no problem defending this place .

After absorbing the skill book, I spoke to Jong Ho .



“Hyung-nim, grab one of the two swords left . ”

“Yup . ”

“And then enhance it . ”

“Enhance?”

“Yes . Just grab it to bind it to you . And all you have to do is put it next to the sword you’re going to use . ”

“… . . ”

“Attributes of weapons will naturally be absorbed into the Pijan’s Lightning Sword . ”

“But what if the Lightning Sword’s attribute gets transferred to another sword?”

“That won’t happen . Attributes only move from weaker weapons to stronger weapons . All the swords that I’ve seen had lower attributes than the Lightning Sword . ”

“Is that so… . . ? What about the other sword?”

“I’ll just pick up random equipment and we’ll be applying jewels on them . So hyung-nim should focus on enhancing them . ”

“Okay, I got it . ”

“Karin, what do you want to do now?”

“Hm… . . Just watch, goblins can’t use jewels . Kel… . . I’m going to make a meal for my family!”

“Oh . That’s great . ”

“Kerurururu . ”

****

“Man, I’ve burned through the night oil… . . ”

“Min-Cheol, how did you succeed twice before?”

“I’m wondering the same thing . I didn’t know it was that bad… . . ”

“In the middle of it, I felt like killing something . ”

“Me too… . . ”

“Keruk? Are you guys done? Hurry up and eat the steak . ”

“It’ll be a gloomy dinner . ”

There were countless jewels that dropped from the Lich King .

We spent two hours applying them on various artifacts .

However, the results were pathetic at best .

We did not gain anything of worth .

A lot of jewels that boosted magic energy dropped, but none of them succeeded in enhancing the gear .

Instead, it destroyed the gears .

Perhaps it has to do with how the demonic realm has a lower drop rate than Earth?

Also, the success rate of using the jewels were incredibly low .

The Eye of Insight showed that it had a 10% chance of succeeding, just like the jewels we obtained on Earth .

However, it felt like the success rate was 0 . 0001% .

The only thing we gained from taking down the Lich King was the Lightning Sword and one skill book .

It felt like we should collect the jewels from now on and use it when we return to Earth .



I asked Karin who was viciously tearing into the steak .

“Karin . ”

“Keruru?”

“This is something that just occurred to me… . . ”

“What is it?”

“Can’t we just go through the Gate back to Earth? Kind of like how we’d go back home after a long day’s work?”

“Kel… . . ”

“Now that I think about it, that’s right . This Gate is connected to Yangpyeong . ”

“I know, right? Why are we two dudes and a monster eating shabby food like this?”

“You can’t do that!”

“Why? The monsters seem to go through just fine?”

“Look at the number of monsters, aren’t there a lot?”

“Of course, this is the demonic realm after all… . . ”

“Not all of them are heading for Earth . ”

“… . . ”

“There is a low chance that you can fall off the path . ”


“What do you mean ‘fall off’? Are you saying that we can fall into another dimension?”

“You can get trapped in the cracks in the dimensions . It’s not the overworld, afterworld, Earth, or demonic realm . You can get isolated in another dimension . ”

“… . . ”

“Why are you only telling us this now? What if we entered it without a thought?”

“Kel… . . ”

“So you’re telling me that the only way we can return is to kill the demon king?”

“That’s right . If it was any other human, I would have told them to go through it… . . However, I can’t let the two of you do that . ”

“I understand . ”

“I was hoping for something good to drop . Now I’m frustrated . ”

“Oh well, we can’t help it . I guess we’ll have to stake our hopes on Belkoseu . ”

“You said that you’ll visit him in a few days?”

“Yes . Karin remembers his magical signature, so it should not be that difficult to meet up with him . ”

“That’s right . I remember! Belkoseu’s magical signature!”

“Min-Cheol, are you sure about this?”

“Yes… . . I’m as positive as when hyung-nim charged Berdan . We won’t be able to defeat him with magical energy, but I’m sure that we can bring him to his knees using Awakened attacks . ”

“… . . ”

“You don’t have to worry about a thing . If something goes wrong, you can run away . ”

“Even so… . . ”

“For now, let us rest near the Gate . We’ll leave tomorrow . ”

“Got it . ”

“Ah . And since we need guidance from Karin, follow me partway . ”

“What . Are you planning to go alone?”

“Yes . I think that would be for the best . ”

“…… . ”

“It’s easier for a single person to escape rather than two or three . And we can only use Status Denial once every 24 hours . ”

“Hm… . . ”

“Chances . I’m betting on better chances like you always talked about . You understand, right?”

“Yeah, do as you see fit . So I just need to stay near here with Karin, right?”

“Yes, that’s right . ”

“Keruu… . Human, he is not your average monsters . If it gets dangerous, escape immediately . ”

“Got it . ”

****

I had hoped that we would speed up on growing stronger after defeating the Lich King, but the results were less than satisfactory .

With the Gate as the anchor, we continued to hunt .

The area covered wasn’t large, but there were plenty of monsters about .

The effect of Full Heal that I’ve obtained was far greater than what I had expected .

An aura appeared around the creatures I’ve summoned, rapidly healing them .

As expected, it did not heal the monsters .

It only worked on the creatures that I’ve summoned .

If I get used to using this spell, I should be able to lessen my worries about holding the Gate .

And if it becomes so, I should be able to hunt further away from the Gate .

Instead of just staying tethered near the Gate, I should be able to visit all the good locations in the demonic realm for farming monsters with the guidance of Karin .

With the Devil Avatars and King Suwoo confidently holding their ground, it should be possible .

“What about the Warp cooldown?”

“Haven’t used it in the last two days . It’s good to go . ”

“Haven’t forgotten anything?”

“Telling me that you love me?”

“Get bent . And don’t get hurt . Take the Warp right away if you sense anything that’s off . ”

“Love you too . ”

“Get outta here . Go . ”

“Human… . . I’ll be waiting with Jong Ho . Please come back safe . Lov… . . ”

“Stop! Go ahead and ration the steak . I’ll be back before the watch on Jong Ho’s wrist points 12, okay?”

“Kerut . I got it . ”

I ran towards the direction that Karin pointed me towards .

At the end should be Belkoseu .

Thankfully, both Ladin and Jamon were far away from here .

However, despite the massive distance, with their speeds it shouldn’t take that long for them to get here .

That’s why it was important for my fight with Belkoseu to be as short as possible and equally decisive in victory .

In the plains where not a single rock could be found stood Belkoseu .

As if he had been waiting for me, he turned to face me, holding his ground .

I walked towards where he was .

“Kuhu . Humans are amusing creatures . To think that you’d come on your own volition to your own death . ”

“You saw, right? Karin . He keeps his promises, even if it kills him . It seems I’m becoming like him . ”

“What is the reason behind your confidence to be able to come? Do you think that your different types of attacks can take me down?”

“Yep . It seemed to me that the chances were high . ”

“You’re a reckless fool . ”

“I hear that a lot . Shall we start then? Don’t worry about the demon king . He’s quite far away . ”

“Hm… . ”

Belkoseu hesitated for a bit .

It seemed that he was thinking about something .

I was a bit taken back by what he said next .

“What is it that you want?”

“……”

“For what reason is it that you take down monsters such as I is what I ask . ”

“That’s simple . If we don’t kill you, our homeworld gets destroyed . ”

“You’re not trying to become the demon king that rules the demonic realm? You do not wish to rule over all the monsters?”

“Not really interested . I’m just tired of seeing you monsters invading Earth . ”

“… . . ”

“Now, enough pointless chatter . Let’s begin . ”

“Wait . Let me make an offer . ”

“Oh? Trying to trade when you’re nothing but a monster? Let me hear you out . ”

“You definitely said that you have no interest in being the demon king, right?”

“Yep . ”

“You just want monsters to stop invading the human realm . ”

“Yep . You’re a lot smarter than I thought . ”

“If that’s the case……”

Belkoseu began to make an offer that I didn’t even consider .

To think that a deal between a monster and a human would form .

It was a shocking development, but it felt as though I could use him .

Since I did not have a 100% guarantee that I could defeat him, this offer had me intrigued as well .

Is this how I would get another friend in the demonic realm?
