Part 2, Episode 179.
Heavenly Transformation, a weapon with mythical-level potential.
However, it is an artifact that possesses only potential and has never risen above the legendary level, let alone the mythical level.
What would happen if you used a Mythic-grade enchantment on it to unleash its potential?
Gulp.
I didn’t know for sure, but the results were bound to be tremendous.
Enough to make my heart pound just at the thought of it.
If you don’t lose your mind in a situation like this, can you really call yourself a gamer?
Moreover, from the perspective of someone making a living from games, this was truly justified madness.
-… … M-Master. Stop twitching your nostrils. It looks weird when you twitch your eyes like that.
-Lizariza… … .
Ahem. It looks like something very good has happened to you.
Is that supposed to feel good? It reminds me of that woman who’s a fanatic or whatever.
“……Lord Kaiser? Are you alright?”
… … It didn’t seem that way to those watching from the side, though.
This is a feeling that only the person experiencing it firsthand can understand. Even if you can’t understand it, it couldn’t be helped.
It is also because my entire mind is already fixated on the Zero-Nothing Knot.
“Phew…….”
Dohyeon let out a sigh.
As the deep breath I had taken escaped slowly, I felt my pounding heart calm down a little.
In this situation, relying on control is indispensable.
“To be realistic, Cheonbyeon isn’t going to become mythical right away.”
No matter how much a mythical granting power explodes potential, what is impossible is impossible.
Because the reason why Cheonbyeon did not reach the level of a myth was clear.
“Since the effect of the Heavenly Transformation is adjusted by the grade of the weapon consumed in the first place.”
The highest-grade weapon I have devoured so far is Legendary (Unique) grade.
I stayed put because I had never obtained a weapon better than that, but no matter how mythical it is, I can’t just ignore the system and become mythical simply because I enchanted it once, can I?
In that sense, since a Mythic grade item was going to drop anyway, it would have been best if it were a weapon…
Well, so far I haven’t felt that Cheonbyeon’s performance was lacking.
And the important thing is that this has opened up possibilities.
The Zero-Nothing Knot is the reward for having the highest contribution to a continental quest.
That meant that if you continue to show overwhelming contribution in content of this caliber, you could receive a Mythic-grade reward.
It’s probably because the rate of content consumption has increased.
I was secretly dissatisfied because the difficulty was just getting ridiculously high, but if the rewards were buffed like this, there was no reason to feel any resistance.
On the contrary, I even started to look forward to it.
Since they said many forces are starting to move in earnest…
Looking at the flow of the story, it seems like increasingly difficult content will be released from now on. What kind of reward will I receive after clearing them all?
Will they really not give out Mythic-grade equipment then? Just how powerful is Mythic-grade equipment?
Such anticipation surges like a tidal wave.
Yeah, you can’t expect to be full after the first bite. It actually feels better and more stylish to start with a taste using a disposable item.
And although I was being ungrateful, this situation was not something to be dismissed as just a taste.
Because no one in the history of God of Savior has ever used a Mythic-grade item, it was truly a historic moment when Dohyeon was the first to use it.
[Used the Zero-Nothing Knot.]
[Please select the equipment to which you want to apply the effect of Zero-Nothing’s Knot.]
[+15 Thousand Transformations has been selected.]
[As a consumable item, ‘Zero-Nothing Knot’ is destroyed upon single use.]
[Would you like to use this?]
“uh.”
The moment Dohyeon answered, feeling his dry saliva involuntarily swallow.
Ding-
[The Zero-Nothing Knot starts enchanting at +15 Thousand Transformations.]
A streak of message appeared, followed immediately by a dazzling light. It was only natural that everyone’s attention was drawn to the intense light enveloping the entire room.
-Eek! W-what!?
-Rizariza!?
-My Lord!?
“What on earth is this light…?”
Reactions clearly showing bewilderment at the sudden halo of light.
Among them, the one with the most shocked eyes was none other than Dohyeon himself.
There was no other choice.
[Break the limit of the selected weapon, ‘+15 Thousand Transformations’.]
[We have brought out the potential of the limits latent in the myriad transformations.]
[+15 A new special option is created for Heavenly Transformation.]
[Player used a Mythic item for the first time.]
[You have acquired the unique title ‘The One Who Entered Myth’.]
‘……and.’
Because I couldn’t help it when looking at the frantic feast of unusual messages flashing before my eyes.
[The One Who Entered Myth]
– Grade: Legendary+
– Description: A title given to those who have entered the realm of myth.
Beyond merely witnessing the product of mythology that had been buried for a long time since ancient times, I held it in my hands.
-Effect: Increases the effects of owned Mythic grade items by 50%.
All stats +20, Movement speed +20%
The title was even a Legendary+ grade.
Although it cannot be compared to the Mythical grade, it was an extremely rare grade, as Legendary+ is known to be the highest grade currently existing in God of Savior.
Furthermore, in the title category, it is a rarity so small that the number of users who possess it can be counted on one hand.
How could one not be surprised to have achieved such a level for free?
All stats go up by 20?
Furthermore, movement speed increases by as much as 20%.
Movement speed is the most important factor among all speed-type buffs.
After all, every battle starts with your feet.
Didn’t even that Sword Saint, the master of swordsmanship, say that swords are practiced with the feet, not the hands?
Not only in swordsmanship, but in other martial arts as well, the most important thing was footwork—that is, the feet.
It is only natural, considering that attack and defense are possible with footwork alone, and the feet are the most important element for distance control.
Even though it’s an All-Master, it’s more important from my perspective as someone specialized in close combat.
A 20% movement speed buff will be incredibly efficient when chasing ranged dealers or fast-moving enemies.
On top of that, to think it increases the effect of my Mythic grade items by as much as 50%…
Then does that mean the effect of Youngmu’s Resolve becomes even better?
To think these are just the effects for a single title…
I think I understood why the Legend+ rank is called the highest rank in God of Savior and is considered to be on a completely different level from Legend.
In fact, excluding the one who inherited Kasiyar’s will, whose ranking is ambiguous, it has performance that is more overwhelming than any title Dohyeon holds.
But what catches Dohyun’s eye even more than that is… … .
[+15 Thousand Changes]
[Rank: Mythical]
[Description: A sword depicting a white lion living in a snowy mountain swept by blizzards and a single flower.]
It was the symbolic sword of a great king of the past, but is now a forgotten relic. It contains a part of the forgotten king’s brilliant swordsmanship.
[Level Limit: 80 (100)]
[Equip Restriction: One who has received the Forgotten King’s Sword]
[Physical Attack Power: 4141~4707 + (3,865~4,183)]
[Durability : 100 / 100]
[Weapon Devour: Can devour weapons. Can transform into the devoured weapon and use special options. When storing a weapon of the same type, it spits out the previously stored weapon.] (Option Devour available)
[Ego: Answers the Master’s call; those unworthy cannot use special options.] (Enhanced Ego available)
[Periel’s Gift – Rush: Can be activated when the energy of the Gale reaches its limit, delivering a strike that condenses the energy of the wind in layers.
Can only be used when equipped with ‘Periel’s Gift – Gale’.
[It has been adjusted to the level of Cheonbyeon.]
[The Zero-Nothing Knot has been enchanted, and a potential ability that has surpassed the current limit of the weapon has been manifested.]
[Breaking through the limits of the weapon, the performance and power of the options have been amplified.]
[A new option ‘Unchanging One’ is provided.]
‘crazy…….’
… … It was indeed the changed appearance of the riverside.
I was curious what a Mythic-grade enchantment would feel like… … granting additional options and enhancing weapon specs.
Considering that typical enchantments usually grant just an attribute or a single option, its performance truly transcended the limits of enchantments.
How much did the attack power go up? It looks like it increased by almost 1.5 times.
Considering that the additional attack power obtained through enhancement increased by 1.5 times, it was practically the same as the weapon’s attack power being doubled.
This was the most intuitive yet significant change.
The biggest reason Dohyun has fallen far behind the rankers so far is precisely his inferiority in pure specs.
At this rate, he must have become stronger than most high-rankers.
Of course, this is when considering only weapon attack power.
Even now, considering pure stats and transcendence levels, it would not be comparable to top-tier players.
Because the credentials they have built up over the past three years, possessing overwhelming talent and skill, are practically fraudulent.
but…….
Smirk.
Dohyeon’s lips formed a distinct curve.
At this level, there’s nothing we can’t catch.
Dohyeon is someone who stood shoulder to shoulder with them from the very beginning, even during the time of Demrok, without a single legendary skill or top-tier enhanced weapon.
Compared to back then, this was nothing.
Moreover, now that I have regained that sense, words would be unnecessary.
[The One Without Change: The end of change is the realm of freedom where one does not need to change. It manifests the true limits of a thousand transformations, transcending even change itself.]
The Unchanging One… …
On top of that, there are even options that look amazing at first glance.
“… … I can’t even imagine. Just how much am I now?”
I desperately wanted to test what level I was at right now.
That did not stop at just a thought.
I’ll be going now.
“Huh? Suddenly? No, before that, you said you would explain about that man from a moment ago and the lights………”
“K-Lord Kaiser!?”
“I’ll tell you later. Something urgent came up… Well then, goodbye.”
-… … Master? Who, your eyes look strange?
-Liza!
Dohyeon, with his eyes half-rolled back, shook off Aridna and Allowin who were holding him and left the mansion.
Hmm! I’ll see you next time.
-Lizariza!
Phew, yeah, that’s the real owner. We should go too. See you next time!
The Guardians leaving, following him who disappeared without looking back.
“……Uh, it must have been a very urgent matter.”
“Huh… I had so many questions…”
The two nymphs, suddenly left with no information and only growing unanswered questions, let out a hollow sigh, but soon accepted it.
As they said, we will be seeing each other often for the time being.
Given that I have seen the scene of the prophecy, which was so terrible.
* * *
Meanwhile, about two hours had passed since leaving the mansion.
Deep in the forest north of Elanis.
The Twisted Forest, a hidden place untouched by user footsteps… or to be precise, known only to a select few users.
“and…….”
A place discovered by the Adventure King Barion and given to Dohyeon by Association President Lark as a candidate for a lucky spot for the lottery.
Dohyeon, who was at the center of this place, could not contain his admiration for the sight unfolding before his eyes.
Because anyone would have the same reaction if they saw that scene.
Wow… is this right?
-Ri, Rija… … .
-Oh my god…
In fact, the Guardians who witnessed the same scene were all stunned.
He was so shocked that he looked even more surprised than Dohyeon.
“Ah… so you have grown to this extent. This humble sword had misjudged my lord’s limits.”
Ah, I won’t mess with you anymore, Master.
They were all spouting their own words, but they didn’t reach Dohyeon’s ears.
Because the overwhelming sight before my eyes sent shivers down my spine.
A state in which all five senses are focused solely on sight and touch.
What was unfolding before Dohyeon’s eyes was… … .
[Defeat Gravita, a member of the Distorted Forest Tribe.]
… …
A forest turned into a mess as if a massive typhoon had swept through, and a crater deep as if a bomb had been dropped.
And on top of that were countless monster corpses lined up.
This all happened in just one minute.
Wow… this.
Dohyeon tightened his grip at the sight that made him automatically exclaim, “Did I really do this?”
The overwhelming energy felt from the tightly held riverside seemed to growl wildly like a beast.
At the unfamiliar yet intoxicating sensation, Dohyeon unconsciously swallowed hard.
It’s even crazier than I thought.
… … It doesn’t seem like it’s just a one-step upgrade in specs.
