Chapter 228
“Helena?”
“Hahaha! As I said, you just can’t do without !”
Helena appeared, breaking through Severance.
No matter how skilled Seonghyun was,
He couldn’t help but be surprised to see Helena.
He’d thought he had lost the magic sword,
But just in ti, she arrived and grabbed it!
“Thank you!”
Seonghyun said with a sowhat excited voice.
Helena cleared her throat at Seonghyun’s sudden gratitude.
She had only helped Seonghyun as a vassal and senior.
Hearing such thanks made her a little shy, so she turned her head and said,
“I-it’s obviously sothing I have to do!”
Seonghyun chuckled softly at her words.
At the sa ti, Helena quickly began using skills on the magic sword.
Binding it with the abyss and simultaneously wrapping another layer with heavenly power, infusing it into the magic sword.
Suddenly, a ssage appeared to Seonghyun.
[Your vassal, 『Monarch of Heaven and Abyss, Helena』 has sealed the magic sword, 『Nesis』.]
[『Magic Sword - Nesis (Sealed)』 cannot resist.]
A ssage confirming Helena had sealed the magic sword.
Then, a series of long ssages suddenly appeared.
[Hidden Unique Raid Boss, 『Owner of the Magic Sword Ragna Ekrion』 has been defeated.]
[Hidden Quest, 『Ragna Ekrion』 cleared.]
[Partial clear rewards granted.]
[Massive experience gained!]
[Level Up!]×6
[Reached Level 185.]
[Reached level multiple of ten, Almighty-rank item, 『Overlord's To』 activated.]
[Reached level multiple of ten, Almighty-rank item, 『To of Blood』 activated.]
[Reached Level 180, new skill of 『Overlord』 unlocked.]
[Almighty-rank skill, 『Malice Thunder』 acquired.]
[Additional rewards can be claid from Leon Banzar.]
[Contribution exists for only one person.]
[Counted as a single raid.]
[Defeated single-handedly.]
[Rewards enhanced.]
[First-ti defeat.]
[Rewards enhanced.]
[Since it was a single raid, all rewards are given to user 『Seonghyun』.]
[As a defeat reward, Almighty-rank item, 『Magic Sword - Nesis (Sealed)』 acquired.]
[First to defeat hidden unique raid boss 『Owner of the Magic Sword Ragna Ekrion』.]
[Title, 『Magic Sword Slayer』 acquired.]
[Keywords 『Magic Sword』 and 『Weapon Infused with Magic』 acquired.]
The length of the ssages showed just how much a hidden unique raid boss mattered.
The rewards gained were experience points, the magic sword, plus the title and keywords as expected.
Seonghyun was relieved he hadn’t lost the magic sword if it had tried to escape.
Thanks to Helena, he obtained it, truly a blessing.
As he thought this, he inspected what he had acquired.
First, he decided to skip over the keywords.
‘Seeing them now won’t tell
much anyway.’
The first thing that caught his eye was the magic sword Helena had obtained.
What exactly was this?
『Magic Sword - Nesis (Sealed)』
→ Almighty-rank
→ A magic sword infused with mana, harboring a wicked spirit.
→ Nesis, a magic sword maddened by revenge, can only be strengthened by human blood, and its stats and powers increase when enhanced.
→ Currently sealed.
→ Without the skills, title, or ability to wield this magic sword, one would be consud by it.
→ It might guide to other mana-infused weapons.
Since it was sealed, detailed options couldn’t be seen.
But it was clearly powerful.
Being an Almighty-rank sword, that was no surprise.
‘It can only be strengthened by human blood.’
That was unsettling.
It was similar to the ‘Bloodthirsty Karmin,’ Carmine’s spear from before, but the phrase about being infused with mana was notably different.
And it ntioned a wicked spirit.
Seonghyun decided to put it in his inventory for now.
He had no one among his vassals to give it to use.
Coincidentally, Helena seed to think similarly and said,
“You made a good choice. That one’s pretty vicious.”
“Vicious?”
He thought magic swords were all vicious.
“Yeah. Among mana-infused ones, there are so that are good. It’s just that so aren’t wicked spirits but rather picky, and those sotis corrupt their owners.”
“...?”
Wasn’t corrupting the owner inherently evil?
He thought this for a mont.
But since Helena said so, he accepted it.
Deciding to let it go for now,
Seonghyun then checked the next title.
『Magic Sword Slayer』
→ Unique-rank
→ A title granted to the first user to defeat the owner of a magic sword.
→ Immune to ntal domination by magic swords.
→ When facing mana-infused weapons, all skill power increases by 10%.
‘Oh.’
This seed quite useful.
Though unique-rank, it was practically legendary in performance.
From this, he realized,
‘There are unique-rank magic swords too.’
Nesis, which Seonghyun had obtained, was evidently a higher-tier magic sword than he’d thought.
Seonghyun thought he might have to use it reluctantly later on.
But since it could only be strengthened by human blood,
He felt there was no real need to use it.
He wouldn’t kill NPCs just to grow stronger.
Besides, he was already strong.
So he moved on from the titles.
Only the skills gained by leveling up remained.
‘Malice Thunder.’
After using the Spear of Annihilation, it seed he had learned a skill related to lightning.
He had hoped for so lightning-type skill anyway.
Wondering what kind of skill it was,
Seonghyun looked over it with so expectation.
『Malice Thunder』
→ Almighty-rank
→ [Lv 1] [Growth Type]
[Instant Effect] [Active]
[Cooldown: 10 minutes]
A lightning bolt that corrupted even the heavens, a cursed thunderbolt no god dares to block falls.
→ Overlord-exclusive skill.
→ Summons cursed and dark property lightning to strike the target.
→ On hit, blocks all healing effects and causes paralysis for 3 seconds by irresistible lightning.
Integrated into Lord of Darkness.
‘Oh?’
Lightning imbued with curse and darkness.
Thanks to the integration with Lord of Darkness, its power was significantly enhanced.
That was satisfactory enough.
Having checked everything,
Only one task remained: finding Leon.
The long, long quest finally ended.
After Seonghyun’s victory over Ragna Ekrion,
The NPC Managent Team 2 who had been watching erupted in chaos.
“Whoa!?! Crazy!!!”
“He actually beat it!?!?”
“No vassals either!?!?”
“And he hadn’t even used all his other skills yet!!!”
Everyone had thought he would fail.
So it was understandable.
Honestly, it seed like he was losing.
But to turn it around with the terror of loss like that…
Had he caught the exact weak point?
So staff began analyzing what they had seen.
“Not all mana-infused weapons would break like that; the opponent was good.”
“It might not work on other owners of mana-infused weapons.”
“But others don’t have Severance. They’d fight with their vassals, right?”
“Definitely...”
They were chatting like that as they excitedly discussed.
Amidst all the chatter, one person was lost in deep thought. Th??s chapter is updated by novel??fire
It was none other than Deputy Manager Lee Jaekyung.
One of those who supported Seonghyun,
This situation could only be welcod.
He was also the team leader of NPC Managent Team 2.
He was glad that other NPCs hadn’t been hard,
But also thought about the potential consequences arising from this event.
‘Hmm. If this continues...’
Seonghyun had obtained the magic sword.
Thanks to Helena’s tily appearance.
The other staff hadn’t yet realized from Seonghyun’s victory,
‘How did he break Severance?’
Since vassals were considered part of the user, they belonged to the User Managent Team.
But since Lee Jaekyung had the footage of Seonghyun now,
He could review the earlier videos.
And he saw Helena step in right after Severance activated, attempting to break it.
Of course, she didn’t do it alone.
She gathered the power of all the other vassals, concentrated it, warped the dinsion, and broke Severance to escape the Netherworld.
But it wasn’t sothing that could be done just by pooling power.
‘Manipulating dinsion...’
An impossible feat without clear spatial manipulation ability.
That made Lee Jaekyung scratch his cheek.
Unless it was the real Helena, this Helena was clearly just a homunculus, a re outer form.
Not the original Helena who toyed with dinsions like playthings.
And she achieved the sa feat as Helena?
‘What is going on?’
Perplexed, he decided he had to report this.
This wasn’t sothing only apparent on the surface.
There was definitely sothing deeper.
Perhaps,
‘It might be connected to the ’unknown power‘ Seonghyun possesses.’
That was Lee Jaekyung’s conclusion as he began writing the report.
He then thought of Seonghyun.
‘Now that he has the magic sword, maybe he’ll gain connections to other mana-infused weapons nearby.’
He’d certainly acquire keywords.
Lee Jaekyung smiled as if he found Seonghyun truly fascinating.
Other managed users, like ranker users or Almighty-rank class users were not under his managent.
But sohow, he felt Seonghyun was on a different level altogether.
‘Well, the chairman will handle it.’
Thinking so, Lee Jaekyung busied himself writing the report.
3.
Leon Banzar.
Seonghyun returned to the wounded knight with Ragna Ekrion’s severed arm.
“......”
Leon Banzar stared at the arm for a long ti, lost in thought, then turned his head towards Seonghyun.
Then, kneeling on one knee, Leon spoke to Seonghyun.
“Thank you truly for avenging .”
There was a sincerity pressed into those words, and Seonghyun felt a faint sense of fulfillnt.
Leon then muttered to himself.
“To think he wielded a magic sword... To think he’d be like that one...”
That one?
Suddenly?
Seeing Leon’s reaction, Seonghyun’s eyes glead.
Could it be?
“Who do you an by that?”
“...You wouldn’t know. In our Sysbalt, there was soone like Ragna Ekrion who wielded mana-infused weapons. Not as sinister as Ragna Ekrion, though.”
“Oh?”
Hearing that,
[You have obtained the keyword for 『Another Mana-Infused Weapon』.]
Maybe this connects to sothing he could find?
The magic sword Nesis he got, ntioned it might guide to other mana-infused weapons.
Seonghyun smiled recalling that.
Anyway, Leon handed Seonghyun sothing he’d been holding.
“I don’t know if this will be useful to you, but it’s the best I can give.”
[Leon Banzar gives you Legendary-rank skillbook 『Aura Blade』 as a quest reward.]
Although it was a skill Seonghyun could not learn,
It was a Legendary-rank skillbook.
Using the To of Despair, black magic skills could be obtained at Legendary rank.
Seonghyun thought,
“Isn’t this the sixth skill obtainable from the Overlord’s To? And about three from the To of Blood.”
Muttering to himself, he said,
“Now’s a good ti to tidy up my skills.”
