Part 2, Episode 177.
The first thing Dohyeon checked.
That was indeed the essence containing his secret technique received from the King of Knights.
Dohyeon usually saved the delicious things for last, but since everything was so tasty right now, he decided to just choose the one he was most curious about first.
The essence of the Knight King confirmed in this way is… … .
[Oath of Rouslaine – Exeratum]
[Rank : ??]
[Description: Ruslein, the great Knight King who was the king of the ancient human knights.]
It is a vow containing his conviction regarding the path he has walked and the path he must take, and it holds his entire essence.
[Will of the Great Knight King: Manifests a powerful will to ignore debuffs. (Applies to debuffs of one level higher.)
[???]
… …
[Most of the abilities are currently sealed.]
[It opens when you prove your qualifications or come into contact with something related to this.]
“……oh.”
… … How should I put it.
It was good, but compared to its grandiose name, it felt less than I expected.
And rightly so, considering it is the essence containing everything the Knight King has ever walked. Since the blessings of the Five Kings obtained so far have been immense one after another, surely this one, too, is…
No, honestly, considering the presence of the King of Knights, Dohyeon, who had expected a record-breaking reward, couldn’t help but be somewhat disappointed.
Of course, I just felt a bit disappointed; I wasn’t genuinely let down.
“To think it ignores even a debuff of a higher tier… …”
The debuff mentioned here was different from the ‘Mental Contamination Immunity’ of the ‘Hero’ trait.
Mental Contamination Immunity literally means ignoring the debuff effects of the mental disorder category.
Considering it was a passive ability, it was a trait that boasted tremendous effectiveness, but even hero traits had their limits.
The point is that ‘mental contamination’ is not the only type of debuff.
“Of course, most of God of Savior’s debuffs are judged to be mental, so it ignores most of them… but it’s dangerous because there are many that won’t work against guys like dark mages who have really focused on debuffs.”
In fact, weren’t many high-rankers severely beaten by the second-in-command of the invaders’ forces?
When I think about how even the Empress, who reigns at the very top among the High Rankers, fell for the debuff and sided with him…
It means that even average high-rankers are completely helpless against the debuffs of top-tier debuffers.
In that respect, this option was not just reliable, but undoubtedly had a thorny, fraudulent ability.
At least you won’t be subjected to such absurd criticism.
Furthermore, it ignores not only debuffs of an equal rank, but even debuffs of a higher rank.
Of course, if he’s at least two levels higher, it can’t be helped… but actually, with that kind of difference in rank, isn’t it a game where the chances of winning are slim anyway?
Above all, the effects of Exceratum did not end there.
“So it opens when you prove your qualifications or come into contact with something related… … How many are unlocked?”
If there had been only one, only one item would have been hidden, just like when Charlie first gave the necklace of blood and covenant.
When looking at the description of Exceratum, there are at least two of them.
Considering that the first ability unlocked is usually the most straightforward, this means that the abilities to be unlocked later will be at least ‘The Will of the Great Knight King’ or better.
This is my gift to you, who have proven your worth. Jung Suji, containing my secret technique that I never handed over to anyone, even during my prime.
Considering what Ruslein said, every single ability to be unlocked in the future must be the Knight King’s secret techniques.
So, I couldn’t help but look forward to it.
Above all… … .
Everything you are curious about is contained within it. Even the path you must take…
… … He also left behind some meaningful words.
It was certainly a record-breaking reward in many ways, so there was no way to be disappointed.
I think this should be enough for this…
Dohyeon, having finished checking with great satisfaction, subtly turned his gaze.
The second thing his dark brown eyes turned to was… … .
[The One Who Inherits the Will of Kasiyar]
It was none other than the title.
Honestly, this title was just as intriguing to me as the essence of the King of Knights.
Kasiyar’s Successor is the title obtained when first acquiring a job.
Since there had been no changes for a year, I had even forgotten that it was a conditional growth title.
For Dohyeon, this option liberation is truly a monumental event.
Considering that Cheonbyeondo was also that gentleman’s relic, it must be extraordinary.
After all, it was Kasiyar who was called a god of war for playing a greater role than even the ancient King of Wu in the war against the gods.
Gulp.
With a mix of anticipation and curiosity, he reached out with a trembling hand to open the title, and a title that was noticeably different from before greeted Dohyeon.
– Grade: Legendary
– Description: A title given to the successor who carries on the will of the God of War, Kasiyar.
The one who inherits his will has a duty to collect the fragments of destiny. Collect the fragments of destiny.
-effect :
– The Mark of Kasiyar’s Succession appears, and those involved can recognize it.
– Ability is unlocked every time you collect a Fragment of Destiny.
– The second ability is unlocked by collecting five pieces.
[First Effect: All Stats +7]
[Second Effect: Activates when special conditions are met, and can manifest special powers in proportion to the inherited will. (Currently meeting conditions: God of Fighting)
‘oh my god.’
It is clearly an extraordinary effect at first glance.
I don’t know what kind of ability it was, but it was practically the same as gaining an extra skill.
The only catch is that it can only be used when the God of Fighting is in bloom…
Conditional activations such as Thunder Dragon Grant and Thunder Movement, which only apply during Thunder Dragon Descent, did not matter to Dohyeon, as he was already familiar with them.
Rather, I just feel eager to try it out as soon as possible.
If they hadn’t opened the suicide zone, it would have been a case of “all show and no substance.”
Even if the ability is unlocked, it is all for nothing if you cannot actually use it.
“A special power proportional to inheriting his will… Then, to what extent can I exert power right now? Is this special power also related to Kasiyar?”
It was when Dohyeon was making his own conjectures due to the extremely limited information.
Ding-
‘hmm?’
A sudden, cheerful notification.
And as Dohyeon read the single line of messages that followed, his pupils trembled with bewilderment.
One emotion that coexisted with the bewilderment was a clear sense of anticipation.
And understandably so…
[Confirmed the second ability of the title ‘Heir of Kasiyar’.]
[Prove your qualification to unlock some of the abilities of ‘Oath of Rouslaine – Exceratum’.]
[‘Heavenly King’s Tremor’ has been unlocked.]
Wow, is this really how it turned out?
I ended up getting the Knight King’s second secret technique, which I thought I would only get much later, almost for free.
And the ability gained in that way was truly beyond expectations.
[Heavenly King’s Tremor Qi]
[Rank: Legendary (Growth)]
[Explanation: A name given because its momentum could reach the heavens.]
It is the realm that ancient knights dreamed of, and the method of wielding energy primarily used by the great Knight King Ruslein.
[Effect: Manifests momentum by utilizing the Ki manipulation techniques of the Knight King, Ruslein Valemont.]
‘Crazy… …a growth-type legendary skill?’
It was truly a series of rewards.
Dohyeon’s lips curved into a wide grin at the endless feast of rewards.
Although Dohyeon was the most active this time, he was clearly feeling that he was significantly inferior in pure physical strength compared to the Empress or Myeolsal.
“If it’s a growth type, that means there’s a possibility it could grow all the way to Legend+. That’s insane… …”
In the midst of all this, such a qualification upgrade was something to welcome with open arms.
Of course, I would have to see how much stronger I had become in actual combat, but I couldn’t help feeling good right now.
“-Oh! Nostrils! Owner, something good just came out.”
-Liza!? Lizariza!
Right, Eliza. You can see it now, too—those unusual movements.
-Liza!
At that moment, Jihada, who had been chattering amongst themselves, inadvertently looked at Dohyeon and shouted angrily.
Everyone’s attention was focused on him, but everyone had puzzled looks on their faces.
While half-dazed and marveling at the series of incredible sights, it is only natural to find it strange that someone is suddenly talking about nostrils.
“You mean the… nostrils?”
Among them, Aridna’s reaction was the most bewildered.
As someone who had maintained her dignity as a queen, she did not know how to respond to this remark.
However, it didn’t seem to be Al-Win.
“Certainly…… it’s pounding quite hard.”
Oh, you recognized it right away?
It is moving in an unusual way, and the fact that it has grown twice as large as usual also plays a part.
Wow, you have pretty good taste.
Judging by the way he is nodding his head with such a serious expression, as if saying, “Indeed.”
-C-cough… … .
Huh? Charlie? Why the reaction? Are you perhaps embarrassed by your owner?
Ah, no. That can’t be right.
-Rizarija?
That’s true.
That’s not what your expression says. I guess it’s just because our owner has been showing only his cool side lately; he really is an embarrassing owner to show anywhere.
-… … .
Charlie, who had been glancing at Dohyeon and moving his lips, soon turned his head away as if he didn’t notice.
Even Charlie, who adores his lord, seems unable to bring himself to deny it this time.
Jihada’s triumphant face is so hateful.
Normally, he would have given him a good smack on the head, but Dohyeon didn’t care.
To be precise, it had to be said that there was no time to care.
Now, let’s keep this momentum going and check out the final reward I’ve been saving.
Taking advantage of this momentum, I intended to check the reward for clearing the continent quest with the highest contribution, which I had been curious about since yesterday.
[A special reward has been granted for completing the Continent Quest ‘Prelude to the Great Cataclysm’ with the highest contribution.]
[Achieve an incredible feat to activate the title ‘Incredible Figure’.]
[All stats increase by +5.]
[It will be recorded in the Book of Adventures.]
[Clear the continent quest to obtain the title ‘Savior of Elanis’.]
[Achieve 1st place in Contribution to acquire the Legendary title ‘Great Hero of Elanis’.]
[Clear rewards are given in proportion to contribution.]
[It has been confirmed that your Continent Quest Contribution Score is 56,134 points, placing you in an overwhelming 1st place.]
[Rewards are enhanced due to exceptional contribution scores.]
[The reward for the top contributor has been enhanced, and a special reward will be provided.]
[The reward has been determined. Please check.]
[As compensation… … .]
… … .
‘……what?’
Just like striking while the iron is hot, Dohyeon quickly checked the reward and his eyes widened.
“You’re posting something like this too?”
The reward was very different from what was expected.
