1029 < 1026 Won 8. Book of transcendence >

Name:Taming Master Author:Park Taesuk
- Tyring!

- All the evil spirits are gone.

- The energy of the Dragon Spring is absorbed into the Voodoo Juice.

- You have successfully unsealed the ‘Merchant'!

- You have successfully completed your last mission!

When the dark energy that was wrapped around Vosgou spread, the dragon sword that was embedded in the ground swirled out of the air.

And at the same time.

Whoo-hoo!

The Merchant who was wealthy on top of the Great Sword was sucked into Ian's hands.

“Phew. Is it over? ”

Ian sighs loudly and mutters in a quiet voice.

The child of the mercenary who shines a glorious golden light on his right hand.

An unfamiliar voice was heard in Ian's ears as he stared at it for a moment.

- Softener...!

- I grant you the succession of valor.

And when Ian heard his voice, his face was brightened.

The story of letting go of the succession of bravery means that the first ordeal was successfully completed.

‘Good.'

The Temple of Ekaris, submerged in silence as if time had stopped, after clearing one suffering.

A moment later, a quest message began to appear in Ian's eyes.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully completed the 'Accession of Valor (Hidden) (Epic) (Combined)' Quest!

-Clear Grade: SS

…… approximate……

- Complete quests to earn clear rewards.

- You received the 'Ring of Valor (Transcension) (Seal)’ item.

-Couple Quest, Receive ‘Succession of Wisdom (Hidden) (Epic) (Association)' Quest

After seeing the message, Ian looked very interesting.

The next matching quest named 'Succession of Wisdom’ was also interesting.

More than that, what caught his attention was the ‘Ring of Valor’ item obtained as an immediate reward.

‘Ring of Valor...... What the hell is this? ’

Ian put it on the Ring of Valor for no other reason.

The appearance itself was an ordinary ring-shaped accessory, but the format of the item was completely his first encounter.

Ring of Valor

- Rating:?? (Sealed)

-Classification: accessories

-Only worn by those who have begun to walk the path of transcendence.

-If it falls into the hands of the transcendent, the device will be unsealed.

* Items that will vanish if you can't overcome all the suffering caused by Dragon Drakisis.

An information window for items with a very simple configuration, even if they are sealed.

In the information pane of this item that does not even specify a level restriction.

What caught Ian's eye was the description of the item.

‘Only he who has begun to walk the path of the transcendent can wear it.... ’

It was not unlikely that certain quest clears would fit into the item's wearing limit, but it was a very rare case.

Moreover, the fields that need to be filled with level restrictions themselves are information panes for items that do not exist at all.

In Ian, you have to wonder.

But Ian's curiosity did not last long.

- Tyring!

Once again, the system beep sounded and a second distress quest came to mind.

< Heir of Wisdom (Hidden) (Epic) (Association) >

- You have successfully entered the temple of Evil Goddess Icarus and found the Merchant and unlocked the Seal. You have been granted the 'Succession of Valor' by Drakisis, the Wise Rider and Ancient.

…… approximate……

But out of the three virtues of qualifying for transcendence, bravery is just the foundation.

Thus, Drakisis has given you the difficulty to inherit the second virtue, wisdom.

If you overcome the second ordeal, you will hear of the final virtue from Drachys.

-Quest difficulty: unknown.

- Quest conditions: Risers who meet the ascension conditions.

…… approximate……

Qualifier of the Transcensor.

Person who successfully completed the 'Succession of Valor’ Quest.

-Limited time: none

- Reward: Necklace of Wisdom.

* This quest cannot be rejected or given up.

“Hmm……. ”

However, after reading the quest window, Ian was forced to tilt his head.

‘I can't feel anything at all...'

Compared to the succession of bravery where you could have guessed how the quest would unfold.

The name "the succession of wisdom" didn't come to me at all.

‘I guess I'll just have to bump into them. ’

And after a while.

Before Ian's ears became complicated, Drachys' voice was heard again.

- Remus, an ancient warrior, was not only a brave man, but also a brilliant transcendent.

“ ……! ”

-Please pass on his wisdom to meet my expectations.

At the end of Drachys' words,

Whoo-hoo!

The space-time, which seemed to have stopped with a deep resonance, began to come alive again.

Kuung-!

I remembered a new system message in front of Ian's eyes.

- The curse of Evil God "Ekaris" begins to take over the whole body.

And check that message.

Ian's pupils began to enlarge more and more.

* * *

“The second trial... Is it the curse of Ekaris?" ”

Arteron, who was next to King Lachian's words, nodded and shook his head.

“Probably. It's hard to find a better way to test a challenger's wisdom than her curse. ”

Drakish, who was listening to the story of the two top lords, slowly nodded his head instead of answering.

He also thought very differently from the two of them.

‘The succession of wisdom that frustrates the most challengers……. Can you cross this wall, challenger? ’

The curse of Evil Goddess Icharis, referred to by the three lords, was overcome only by those who could objectively ‘crown' themselves.

To overcome Erica's curse.

It was because I had to subdue another "me" that was completely replicated by the power of evil gods.

And this was why the ‘Succession of Wisdom’ quest did not specify a different difficulty level.

The user, replicated by Erica's curse, will be powered by AI, which is based on the data he's been playing with.

because it wasn't systematically scalable.

‘Half of the souls that did not rise on the path of transcendence slipped from this line of wisdom. ’

The eyes of Drakish staring at Ian in the Vosges were pale.

And so the eyes of the three towers.

It was again fixed for Ian in Peacekeeper.

The eyes of the young passengers are more interesting than the first suffering.

But after a while,

“What?! ”

“Th-that's...! ”

Their gaze became increasingly frightening.

“ ……! ”

The relatively bold Drakisis was also no exception.

* * *

- Tyring!

- Mission: Kill the replicated self with an evil god curse.

-Time limit: None

- When you complete the mission, you can inherit Remus' wisdom.

-If you die in the middle of a mission, you will fail the 'Succession of Wisdom’ quest and all associated quests will be dropped.

A mission message that has changed more simply than the succession of valor.

After confirming it, Ian looked strange.

‘If it's a duplicated self...... it must be Remus, right? ’

For Ian, who was in the episode "The Hero of the Battlefield", "The Replicated Self" meant Remus.

At first, Ian had to misunderstand the purpose of the quest a little.

"So we're finally talking about defeating the ancient hero Remus... Why is this the succession of wisdom?" ’

Ian alternates the appearance of Lemus in front of his eyes, confirming the system message once again, and fixing the Dragon Sword he was holding.

But it didn't take long for Ian to realize that he was wrong.

Kung-Kung-Kwam-!

Just after we divided the inspection by about five.

I felt an unknown camouflage in Lemus' movements.

‘What is it? This familiar movement.... ’

Ian is a summoner, but he's familiar with fighting with the Great Sword.

Especially since you've won the Judge Blade series, you've used the Great Sword as your primary weapon in almost every battle so far.

Perhaps at this point, his most familiar weapon was the Great Sword.

And to Ian.

There was one habit of using the Great Sword for such a long time.

It was right before the battle began.

Slightly resting one of the blades of the sword on the other side of the waist with the sword in it.

It was a very advantageous posture to perform a sword, and it was also easy to support the weight of a heavy sword.

And Ian, who knew his habits,

You can see the nature of the quest faster than you think by observing Remus' posture, movements, and so on.

‘That AI…… was an AI made based on my play. ’

After realizing it, Ian was even more convinced that he was right when he mixed the replicated Remus and the sword together again.

After realizing it, I looked a little deeper.

In the appearance of Remus, Ian's appearance was usually so naturally overlapped.

It was even creepy enough to be implemented like this.

‘I wondered why the difficulty level was unknown……. ’

But apart from the creeps.

A meaningful smile came to Ian's mouth.

"Hehe, is this a fight with my doppelganger? It's funny. ’

Once he understood the nature of the quest, a very easy method of sabotage came to mind.

“Huh, let's try again, shall we? ”

Ian's thoughts were simple.

If he focuses on the most vulnerable point he thought he had when he picked up the Great Sword.

After all, the AI, built on his play data, was a collapsing structure.

‘If this isn't the Judge Blade and you're fighting one-on-one with a sword like this without any unique abilities...... The variables will decrease a lot. ’

It's easy to say, of course.

Ian's theory was never easy to implement.

If Ian could summon all the summons and was equipped with all his equipment,

Because there were so many variables, it was a theory I couldn't even try.

However, if the target is a Remus clone that uses no skills and has no unique abilities.

Stories are completely different.

AI replicated Ian's style of play and combat patterns, and it was impossible to replicate his thoughts.

You can joke all you want.

And as Ian predicted,

Boom, boom!

Lemus' vision, replicated by the curse of Ekaris, began to crumble at Ian's assassination in an instant.

- You have inflicted devastating damage on the 'Illusion of Evil Gods'!

- You have inflicted devastating damage on the 'Illusion of Evil Gods'!

…… Snapshot……

I wonder if it's true that I fought equal to Ian a while ago.

He started getting beaten completely unilaterally.

And as a result.

- The Illusion of Evil Gods has lost all its life force.

- You have successfully defeated the 'Illusory of Evil Gods'!

Ian was able to create a vision of replicating his AI in just over 10 minutes.

"Khh, I almost had it! ’

As the battle proceeded as he thought, Ian was so excited.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully completed the 'Succession of Wisdom (Hidden) (Epic) (Association)’ Quest!

-Clear Grade: SSS +

…… approximate……

In front of Ian like that.

The last quest to qualify for transcendence has finally begun to come to mind.

- Complete quests to earn clear rewards.

- You obtained the 'Necklace of Wisdom (Transcension) (Seal)’ item.

- Receive Connection Quests, 'Succession of Trust (Hidden) (Epic) (Connection)' Quests.
