Kiaaaak—
-You… . . You… . .
-Let me out . Let me out .
-Huk huk huk . I’m hungry . Hungry . Hungry .
Just hearing the screams from the Ten Thousand Weaponry storage room was enough to make one shiver .
“As you can see, this all happened because of my horrible disciple . ”
After the Adamantine Nova disappeared, she used different barriers and spells so the weapons and artifacts couldn’t run wild .
Still, there were limits to what she could do . With the core gone, the pressure on them would lessen .
Moreover, Anastasia had been busy with Victoria and hadn’t been able to focus on the storage room .
Victoria glanced away, too ashamed to say anything . Kahn and Doyle knew they were the cause of the problem and looked at the storage room with serious faces .
Kahn could use Bian, and Doyle could use demonic energy . Being sensitive like most rankers were, they knew how bad the problem inside the storage room was .
Something big was being created inside .
The evil intent from the weapons and artifacts leaked out and combined with each other, awakening their identities . If this went on, a resilient monster would be created .
Of course, if Anastasia stepped up herself, she’d be able to rip it apart easily . No matter how big of a monster appeared, as long as it wasn’t a superior monster, it wouldn’t be able to defeat her .
But Victoria knew that it took a toll on Anastasia for her to manifest as her actual body . It was why her teacher had been separated from the world for a thousand years .
Returning to heaven . That was what always tied Anastasia up .
“And you’ll take care of this? How?”
Anastasia squinted at Yeon-woo as if telling him to stop spouting nonsense . He was looking at the storage room with an indifferent gaze .
Yeon-woo just asked her a question while maintaining his calm appearance .
“I can take care of it . Please just answer this question . If I solve this, will you give me the Adamantine Nova? I’ll pay you in full for it . ”
This morning, Yeon-woo had asked all kinds of questions after going to see Anastasia . About what she was going to do with the Adamantine Nova when it didn’t have anything to keep tied up .
It was an idea that Victoria had spoken about the entire night .
After learning that Kahn and Doyle were joining Yeon-woo’s party, she said she wanted to join as well .
When she heard they needed to create an Adamantine Nova before they headed into Tartarus, she said that it was worth a try to make a deal with Anastasia to get rid of a problem she had .
Thankfully, Victoria was right . Anastasia accepted the deal, though 90% of her reason was so she could laugh at them .
“Alright . Try if you can . If you do, there’s no reason to keep it . No, since you’re taking care of a problem for me, I’ll call you Oraboni as the reward . How does that sound?”
Under the mask, Yeon-woo’s two eyes curved .
“You can’t forget what you said . ”
“Hmph!”
Yeon-woo stepped into the storage room .
Hwaaak—
An enormous amount of monstrous energy pressed down his shoulders . It was a power that anyone would end up bending to, but… . .
[The Authority ‘Combat Instinct’ has been activated . ]
The Authority activated and scattered the monstrous energy that had been trying to surround Yeon-woo at once .
[Combat Instinct]
Rank: Authority
Proficiency: 2 . 5%
Summary: An Authority that a god of ‘Olympus,’ Ares, gifted you .
Ares has kept an eye on you, who was never discouraged in a battlefield with numerous enemies .
However, because of his sister, Athena, he just watched you, but this time, he was impressed by you when you massacred all your enemies alone .
He regrets that he wasn’t able to find you before his sister . He gave you a powerful Authority, desperately hoping that you’ll become his apostle .
*Indomitable Spirit
The stronger the pressure received from your enemy, the more you’ll feel at ease and the tougher your will to win will become . The consumption of your health speeds up, but your offensive power is amplified . The effect is stronger the longer the Authority is activated .
*Soul Extortion
Your undefeatable spirit will discourage your enemies . With this, you will be able to take some health from them .
[The Channeling with Ares is weak, so many of the Authority’s effects are being canceled . ]
[The effect of the monstrous energy is being offset . ]
[A part of the monstrous energy is absorbed to increase your attack power . ]
He hadn’t been able to bring up the entirety of the Authority . If he did, all 900 of the other Authorities would activate at the same time .
But because they were already registered in his skill window, he could use some of them .
[Ares shouts at you, asking what you’re doing . He demands you to open the Channeling again right this instant . ]
[Athena, who has been watching quietly, reprimands him . ]
[Ares flinches and steps back . He explains that that wasn’t what he meant . ]
[Ares licks his lips and expresses regret . ]
[Apollo, who was watching the two, bursts into laughter . He shows interest in you . ]
[Artemis looks at you strangely . ]
Yeon-woo cut his left wrist with his Magic Bayonet and sprayed the blood in the air .
The blood of Residual Poison Blood was a black color, having been combined with another type of blood .
[The Authority ‘Hogubyeolseong’ has been activated . ]
[Hogubyeolseong]
Rank: Authority
Proficiency: 5 . 2%
Summary: An Authority that a god of ‘Dilmun,’ Nergal, gifted you .
Nergal liked your fighting technique of using Monster Portents with poison to kill enemies painfully .
However, he felt that you were still lacking in the way you used poison, so he gave you this Authority hoping you would fix it .
*Epidemic God
The power of being able to create different epidemics is given to you . According to the proficiency of the skill, the territory and effects of the epidemic expand, and the more enemies you infect, the stronger the epidemic becomes .
*Thousand Killings
True death doesn’t discriminate between the living and the dead . The same effects will show up on those without physical bodies .
[The Channeling with Nergal is weak, so many of the Authority’s effects are being canceled . ]
[The effects of the Authority are being added to your Monster Portents . ]
Kiikiikiiik—
His shadow split into hundreds and stood high above the ground . There were more Monster Portents than before . Receiving the effect of Hogubyeolseong, they quickly cleared through the Ten Thousand Weaponry storage room .
The poison wasn’t as strong as it could’ve been, but the option that the same effects could be seen on spiritual bodies too was a big help .
-What are these… . . ?!
-Go away! Go away!
-Aaaack!
The storage room full of evil intent quickly filled with screams .
[The Monster Portent ‘Hun’ has gotten rid of the artifact ‘Tatasha’s Sword . ’ It absorbs its power . ]
[The Monster Portent ‘So’ has crushed the ‘Helm of a Forgotten Warrior . ’ It absorbs its power . ]
[The Monster Portant ‘Kkang’ has swallowed the artifact ‘Akam’s Book . ’ It absorbs its power . ]
“What is… . . ?!”
Anastasia’s eyes widened at the unbelievable situation .
The weapons and artifacts she had created over the centuries were breaking apart too easily .
By mere shadow monsters!
The weapons and artifacts were breaking so quickly . The monsters and creatures inside of them were either as strong as the Monster Portents or even stronger .
But they were being defeated one-sidedly .
It wasn’t because they had been sealed for long . They looked as if they were scared by something .
Anastasia realized what was making them so .
[Boo (Witchdoctor’s Soul) looks down at the monsters and creatures . ]
[The monsters freeze . ]
[The creatures squirm to escape the horror . ]
“… . . What is that?”
Deep inside, Inferno Sight was activated . Upon confirming what it was, Anastasia frowned . It was something that didn’t sit well with her either . It was obvious how normal monsters and creatures would feel .
‘Just what is his identity?’
Anastasia turned her head back to Yeon-woo . She had no clue what kind of being Yeon-woo was .
-Stop acting out . You’re only a pet of Rhea . That’s enough of your cute tricks .
From the strange being that lived in the abyss of deep within Yeon-woo’s eyes, the Lich that scared monsters and creatures, and the Monster Portents, she didn’t have any remote idea how they worked .
Yeon-woo, who ruled over all of them, was the strangest being she had seen in a thousand years .
Meanwhile, when the weapons and artifacts were being crushed, predated by the Monster Portents, they reached deep into the center where the large monster with self-awareness was .
Yeon-woo released Shanon and Hanryeong as well . Their power was increased, influenced by the many Authorities of the gods of war, so they were able to take down the large monster quickly .
-Whoaaaaa… . . !
The large monster screamed and ended up as a tasty treat for the Monster Portents .
Shanon and Hanryeong were able to enjoy a feast for the first time in a while .
The dark storage room turned quiet .
Kahn, Doyle, and Victoria all clicked their tongues . Yeon-woo was much stronger since fighting the head bishop, and they couldn’t believe the rate at which he was growing .
Yeon-woo recalled his subordinates back into his shadow and looked back at Anastasia .
She sighed . It was nice that the countless weapons and artifacts were taken care of, but she felt like everything she had done so far was in vain .
“It was annoying anyway . Just take it . ”
But Yeon-woo shook his head even after receiving the Adamantine Nova, like that wasn’t what he was waiting for .
Anastasia narrowed her eyes in confusion .
“You forgot the last part . ”
Yeon-woo spoke in an apathetic voice .
“What… . . ?”
“You’ll call me Oraboni?”
Her face stiffened . She remembered what she agreed to do .
“That was just a joke… . . !”
“I guess you’re a person who breaks promises easily . ”
“Anastasia?”
The hand holding her pipe trembled, face red with humiliation . She could refuse, but the problem was that she was a great monster about to exuviate .
Lying could have detrimental impacts on the growth of her level . Also, personality-wise, she couldn’t break a promise that she said in front of so many people easily .
“… . . Ora, boni… . . ”
She ended up calling Yeon-woo Oraboni .
“I couldn’t hear you well . Well, let’s stop here . ”
Crack—
The pipe in Anastasia’s hand split into two .
[The Monster Portent ‘Baek’ has reached its limits . It is transforming into a new being . ]
[The Monster Portent ‘Yung’ has reached its limits . It prepares to transform for exuviation . ]
[All Monster Portents begin to transform . You cannot command them to do anything while the transformation is in progress . ]
[Please be careful of any external shock . If the transformation fails, the Monster Portents may disappear for good . ]
The Monster Portents began to prepare to become superior beings after swallowing all the weapons and artifacts .
Yeon-woo was proud to see about a hundred Monster Portents grow at once . While Boo protected his shadow, he constantly supplied nutrients so the transformation would go smoothly .
[You have gained the last ingredient, ‘Adamantine Nova . ’]
[You have successfully cleared the first condition of the subquest (Helm of Darkness) . ]
[Please begin with the second condition, the ‘creation of Kynee . ’]
When ownership of the Adamantina Nova was transferred, a message saying to start the manufacturing process came up .
“I don’t like you . ”
Anastasia spoke suddenly . Yeon-woo just stared at her .
Upon realizing why Yeon-woo was looking at her like that, she frowned . The promise she made still held up .
She could see Kahn, Doyle, and Victoria giggling far away . She felt like her insides were boiling .
What she didn’t like the most was the steady eyes behind the mask . She wanted to manifest into her real body and rip his shameless face to shreds .
“I… . . don’t like Oraboni… . . Ugh . F*** . How long do I have to do this? Sheesh! I don’t like it! I hate it!”
There was humiliation in her eyes when she glared at him, but her eyes were mostly filled with murderous intent .
“At first, you were the cause of my lacking disciple’s pain, and then, you argued for the Adamantine Nova . You continued to bother my disciple… . . and now, you’re trying to take her again when I thought she had finally come back home . ”
Yeon-woo could understand how Anastasia felt . However, he didn’t try to appease her . Resentment didn’t disappear that easily .
“I’ll be watching you . ”
Anastasia walked away . The young children who were waiting for her quickly followed . Stopping in front of Victoria, she hit her with the broken pipe . A scream rang out .
Somewhat satisfied, Anastasia left with a “hmph” and returned to her home .
Victoria rubbed the fist-sized bump that was coming up on her head . Kahn smiled bitterly and treated her with Bian .
Doyle shook his head and quietly stood by Yeon-woo’s side .
“Hyung, what are you going to do now? Head over to Tartarus right away?”
“No . I’m going to gather some members first . ”
“Members?”
“Since we have to make Kynee . I should gather skilled artisans first . ”
The three Cyclops brothers would be there, but it would be difficult for Yeon-woo to create the Kynee, a great artifact, by himself . And right now, they were rushed for time . He needed help .
‘The people from when we researched the Philosopher’s Stone should be enough . ’
Thankfully, one of the top five artisans, Victoria, had joined them, and Brahm said that he would gladly help Yeon-woo after hearing the news . Ananta’s condition had improved, and he had time to leave for a bit .
The members right now were enough, but he wanted to add one more person .
‘Henova . ’
No player could match his skill in metallurgy .

However, one thing that worried him was… . .
‘I haven’t gone to see him for a while . ’
He was concerned that a hammer would come flying at him as soon as he went to visit .
‘How should I tease him this time?’
Of course, what Yeon-woo was most worried about was different from most people .
And .
Yeon-woo’s hand was slightly shaking with nervousness as he adjusted his mask .
