# 55
55. Reporting Ceremony (1)
A few days later in the evening.
Jenna and I were waiting on a bench in the plaza.
The master was connected, and three-colored stones were rotating in the item synthesis window.
[Start item synthesis!]
[Optional Material – Lesser Fire Property Stone, Lesser Water Property Stone, Lesser Wind Property Stone]
[Complete Item – Lesser Property Stone]
[Success Rate – 87%]
[Synthesis thod – Automatic]
[Synthesize?]
[Yes (Optional) / No]
When Amkena touched ‘Yes’, the attribute stones spun and began to gather in one place.
White light colored the composite window with the sound of fireworks exploding.
System ssages and control windows moved wildly in my field of vision, but I was the only one who could see them.
Jenna sat awkwardly on the bench and poked at before saying,
“Is this a promotion?”
“okay.”
If you can see the status window, the description of the grade cannot be omitted.
According to the grade, there is a limit to growth, and the promotion is what allows you to break through. If you go into a little more about the stars and ratings, it’s not a 100% answer, but this is enough for now.
After the strike, Amkena steadily went back and forth between the 8th and 9th floors to train the 1st party.
I reached level 12, Iolka reached level 8, Aaron reached level 9, and Jenna reached level 10. Level 10 is the watershed of promotion. I was able to try to upgrade right away without wasting experience points because I kept collecting materials from the daily dungeon.
[Fairy Power!]
[
Fail!]
[Synthesis Failed!]
[Material disappears.]
‘Did it fail?’
Attribute stone is not an easy material to obtain.
Rare monsters are not always there, and the drop rate is not high. Still, in preparation for such a case, he had collected extra attribute stones.
Amkena opened the synthesis window again and tried to combine.
[Good!]
[Synthesis completed!]
[You have acquired ‘Low Attribute Stone’.]
A success ssage ca to mind.
After a while, Isel ca out of the warehouse holding the upgrade seat.
[You are also a 2 star. Years are free.]
Isel threw the upgrade seat with a sad expression.
Jenna took the upgrade seat and looked outside.
“It looks strange.”
[Master promotion begins!]
Knocked up.
The door to the synthesis was opened.
Jenna stared into the synthesis with a stiff face.
“You’re not going to die, are you?”
“Okay.”
I don’t know what will happen during the promotion process.
I couldn’t see it when I was a Master, and what I actually experienced was a bit special.
“Anyway, I’m coming!”
After saluting , Jenna approached the synthesis center.
As soon as Jenna entered, the doors to the promotion center and synthesis center were closed at the sa ti.
While Jenna was getting promoted, I looked at the statue of a war horse adorned above the fountain.
I left the statue here and forgot it, but it seed that soone had made a pedestal and decorated it.
‘It’s boring.’
I didn’t have to co to the promotion site.
It was because he said he was worried about Jenna and asked her to co with him.
Tired of looking at the statues, I organized my thoughts.
If you complete the promotion to Aaron, you will go up to the 10th floor. In other words, it ant that the 15th floor challenge was right around the corner. It was ti to slowly prepare to attack the 15th floor.
Unlike the 10th floor, the 15th floor is partially affected by the previous stage, although the linked quest has not been triggered. Even if not openly, a little bit of information that can infer the mission to so extent is given. In order to survive, even a small hint could not be ignored.
While I was organizing the information briefly, the ssage was updated.
[The hero’s forgotten mories are awakened.]
[‘Jenna(★★)’ promotion complete! 2 stars.]
The door to the synthetic lab opened and Jenna walked out.
His complexion was unusually pale.
“What’s going on?”
Jenna slumped down next to and said,
The voice was quiet.
“I had a strange dream. The forest where I lived was on fire.”
“It’s a dog dream.”
“Well, I… sohow…”
“Forget it. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Jenna, who had been depressed for a mont, smiled awkwardly.
“Ahaha, right? I an, there are bad dreams too.”
“What else?”
“Um, and that’s it. Feeling like sothing’s punctured? Nothing else.”
It seed that the normal promotion process ended with seeing mories.
In my case, sothing unlucky intervened.
‘It seems that he recovers his mory while going through promotions.’
If so, it ans that the current heroes are in a state of amnesia.
Perhaps the heroes will know the general truth when they reach 4 or 5 stars at the latest.
How were they summoned? what was their world like?
As the case was a little different from mine, it seed necessary to ask if the mory ca back.
The next day, Jenna regained her original vivacity.
Shortly thereafter, Aaron also finished his promotion. I didn’t accompany him this ti, so I didn’t know what kind of dream he had. However, it seed that the will to go back was much stronger than before. Aaron didn’t stop training until late at night.
midnight.
The clock points to dawn.
Aaron is staring at with a tired face. There were dark spots under the eyes. It’s a natural change since I didn’t rest from morning to night. said Aaron.
“Is your brother not going back?”
“I have work to do.”
“You’re worse than . I need to work harder too.”
“If you overdo it, you will ruin your body. Do it in moderation.”
“Brother…”
“I’m fine.”
Aaron smiled bitterly and left the training center.
I toured the camp.
The training ground, which was busy with people half a day ago, is empty.
I approached the wooden doll with my sword drawn. A doll that imitates the human body. As the training center reached level 2, practice items also evolved from scarecrows to wooden dolls. I activated a switch in my head.
[‘Han (★★)’ has entered a berserk state!]
My head beca hot at once.
A sense of omnipotence, as if he could do anything, ran through the nerves of his body. After I got into a position, I started sculpting. right eye. left shoulder. heart. lower abdon. rib. groin. calf. Every ti the blade danced, the wood was dug up and sawdust scattered.
after about 3 minutes.
The wooden doll was broken everywhere.
This wooden doll is not scratched even with a tolerable knife. Aaron had to insert the stab with maximum power to cut it slightly. However, now it had lost its human form and had been reduced to a re piece of wood.
‘The power is definitely getting stronger.’
Even looking at the status window, the change is clear.
All stats except intelligence increase by 5.
I got closer to the wooden doll and examined it closely.
It is to make sure that the sword is well inserted in the intended place. Inserting a weapon exactly where you want it was one of the basic skills I learned the most faithfully. But after a while I couldn’t help but let out a sigh of disappointnt.
‘Is it still incomplete?’
The sword attack is slightly out of line with what I intended.
accuracy is inferior. If it is normal, there should be no deviation.
Even if you activate berserk, you won’t lose your sanity due to composure, but there is a penalty.
When I turned off the switch in my head, the fever subsided. Instead, a lukewarm dull pain ran through her body.
‘If it’s a skill that creates synergy with each other, it’s normal to combine them into one.’
Just as the low-level swordsmanship and low-level shield skills were changed to the low-level swordsmanship, if the two skills are properly harmonized, they should be combined into one skill. I did an experint just in case, and it worked just fine.
‘If you activate berserk, your body gets stronger, but your skills deteriorate and you lose your composure.’
Light radiated from the wooden doll that had been cut into pieces, and it began to recover.
I activated Berserk once more and started practicing again.
Do not lose control of your body while suppressing the heat in your head. The goal is to combine skills. Until the two skills rge into one. I wanted to complete it at least until I reached the 15th floor.
It wasn’t a sight to show others, so I practiced alone, but after a while I realized that soone was watching .
“….”
Motion stopped.
I turned around and saw Edith leaning against the wall, looking at .
Edith made eye contact with and waved her hand.
“You have a lot of trouble late at night.”
“What’s going on this morning?”
Unlike Aaron, who is a training fanatic, Edith often finishes her training quickly. It was not uncommon to stay until late in the evening. Edith pulled herself away from the wall and ca slowly towards .
“I have sothing to say.”
“What to say?”
“We’re going to the 12th floor soon.”
“I guess so.”
Edith’s default affiliation is Party 2, but she temporarily belongs to Party 1.
At first, it was a little futile, but after battle after battle, he was now paying more than his wages. Edith hesitated for a mont before opening her mouth in a firm voice.
“Have you ever killed a person?”
‘This sounds ridiculous again.’
I sheathed my sword and turned to Edith.
“Why are you asking that?”
“I’ve heard that you guys weren’t from the combat profession. Jenna was a forester, Aaron was a hunter, and you were a farr? I don’t believe it.”
“so.”
“Killing people is different from killing monsters.”
Edith lost focus.
It was like recalling a distant mory.
“From the 12th floor…”
“The enemy is a human.”
Edith silently nodded.
‘is it.’
The 2nd party attacked the 12th floor first.
On the 12th floor, Usher and Dicka went to the brink of death, which beca the decisive reason for the 2nd party to join the strike. The reason they struggled was not the level of difficulty.
“Are you asking for determination?”
“Yes, to survive.”
“You know the answer better.”
I smiled and replied.
My life here was already established by the death of another person. Shay. Toby. Avant. There are only three of them synthesized by . will increase in the future. Edith smiled bitterly.
“That’s true too. It’s as if you killed the maned wolf.”
“Do you want to criticize ?”
“No, I just… ha, I don’t know what to say.”
“No matter what cos out, no matter what they look like, they are monsters.”
“You’d think so, but your party might be different.”
“It won’t be different. If it’s different, you’ll have to save soone else.”
Humanoid monsters definitely exist.
A lot of it too. There were also many enemies who were not humanoid, but just human.
I didn’t expect to go from a skeleton on the 11th floor to a humanoid at once, but it was sothing I had to go through at least once anyway. I continued.
“In a word, it’s useless worry. Did you get an answer?”
“…okay.”
Edith hesitated a little and then disappeared outside the camp.
‘Murder.’
It is considered the worst cri in modern society.
Judging from Edith’s reaction, it seed that the treatnt was no different in Taoni.
‘It’s funny.’
Hundreds of goblins were slaughtered, and many things in human form, such as the black priest on the 10th floor and the walking corpse, were cut into pieces. I was tired of seeing people die. The color of the blood, its scent, and the heat remain vividly.
“…”
I drew my sword.
There was still a lot to do.
