Dungeon Hunter Chapter 164:
Chapter 164: Ifrit (1)
I had three dungeons, including the one in Korea . I filled the two empty vacancies . Chrisley and Tashmal’s abilities meant they would be good Dungeon Masters .
And I had one more thing to say to Tashmal .
“Do you recognize this?”
I presented something I bought from the auction to Tashmal .
Tashmal’s eyes widened as she saw it .
“An angel egg? It is already blessed in the egg stage . . . oh my god, where did you obtain this?”
“The Demon World Auction . You can also go there next year . ”
"The dark spirits have touched the heavenly soul!”
Tashmal’s body trembled . Although I could purchase the angel egg from the Achievements Store, the dark spirits had to steal it . I promised her that I would save the humans from the demons .
In fact, that was a promise I made to the gods when they returned me to the past . I didn’t care what the conditions were, as long as I had the chance to return . It was a miracle . Still, I wasn’t the type of person who would turn my back on a promise . So I gave the humans some opportunities .
Anyway . . . Tashmal willingly joined me, but the dark spirits were different . Tashmal knew a little bit about the Demon World Auction . She understood that the dark spirits sold items and creatures for their own benefit .
It was the same for the angel egg they sold .
Her anger was natural .
"Don't worry . This was the only one . ”
Tashmal’s anger calmed down a little bit .
"This egg . . . it is a special egg that has the blessing of the Celestial Ruler . I know that the Celestial Ruler blesses the eggs that are designated as advanced angels . ”
She explained the item .
Hashmal, who was a Dominions Angel, had only been intermediate rank .
What capabilities would the advanced angels have?
“Tashmal . You will raise it . ”
"It is nonsense! It is a sacred egg that I have to return to the angels right now!”
Tashmal hastily refused . It was an honour just seeing an advanced angel . She was anxious just holding the egg .
But I laughed .
“To who? Aren’t the angels now on earth? Do you think they will take the egg from our hands? They can’t return to heaven . They are always being attacked by demons so it won’t be safe . ”
I knew a little bit about an angel’s physiology . Angels wouldn’t accept an egg that had been touched by a demon and a fallen angel . It was the same even for a blessed egg . The situation also wasn’t good for them .
“ . . . . . . ”
Tashmal was silent .
I had struck a sore spot .
“The only safe place to raise it is Japan’s dungeon . Do you understand? If not, this egg will just be neglected . ”
“ . . . I understand . But don’t expect much . I don’t know if I can raise an angel whose status is above mine . . . ”
Tashmal said with a bittersweet expression and turned around .
If she couldn’t do it then nobody could . Most of my knowledge about angels came from her . Although she had fallen, her essence was still an angel .
‘I have roughly 12 million points remaining . ’
The appointment ceremony ended . It didn’t matter if they acted separately . The important thing was their performance .
‘I will wear this ring . ’
It was the ‘Conqueror’s Ring’ that I purchased from the auction . I looked at the explanation using Mind’s Eye .
| -Name - Conqueror’s Ring (Epic, Set)
Description: A ring that only a conqueror can wear . It is a paired set and if the other ring is worn, a great power can be exerted . * The ‘dignified’ effect will be proportional to the wearer’s magic power . Significantly increases the recovery of magic power (+10% per conquered territory) . * It is only effective for those who own a ‘territory . ’ * The skill ‘Final Impact (Ex Epic)’ is available when worn with the Contempt of the Weak Ring . |
There were no options that raised my stats . However, I noticed the set effect as well as the recovery of magic power .
There were many items that healed a wound or restored stamina, but those that recovered magic power were rare . It was a growth type item .
The recovery rate was ambiguous because there were no precise standards, but I could roughly guess . In my case, it would take five days to recover if all of my magic power was consumed . The Underground World and my dungeons increased the effect by 40%, meaning the recovery would be reduced to three days .
'There is no way to obtain the Contempt of the Weak Ring yet . . . ’
This was the first time I saw the ring . I had no idea where the Contempt of the Weak Ring was . However, I was convinced that I could get it .
“Chrisley . I wonder how Roy is doing . ”
Roy . The small dark elf was left with the Awakened and the girin as they attacked Pandemonium’s dungeon .
The raid should have taken place by now . I was curious .
"I will bring the crystal ball . ”
Chrisley nodded and left .
After a while, she brought a crystal ball that was the size of her body .
I poured magic power into it and could see Roy’s surroundings .
“Damn!”
One of the Awakened spat with disgust .
He looked terrible . He gritted his teeth and forced his tired legs to move .
"We were nearly there! The Dungeon Core was right in front of us!”
"I didn’t think there would be reinforcements . ”
The dungeon capture was a failure . They were forced to retreat just before capturing it .
If it wasn’t for the girin’s barrier, they would have been wiped out .
“This will do for now . Serious damage was dealt to them . If we go home and rebuild our strength, there is some hope of eliminating them . "
The girin in the form of a female spoke from the front . Although it was a failure, it was still a valuable experience . The suppressed Awakened had managed a counterattack . This experience would help them grow quickly .
“T-that’s right . . . ”
Next to her, Roy gave a small nod .
Roy also fought on the front lines . There were injuries on his body but he had a pretty reliable face .
The words from both of them reversed the atmosphere .
“Yes . Saviour-nim’s child agreed . ”
"We need to raise our strength . Please help us . "
"Pleas . . . !"
The eyes of the Awakened lit up . They had been on the verge of capturing the Dungeon Core . It was a remarkable achievement for the Awakened . An unprecedented event . Their confidence climbed .
In the midst of the turmoil, the girin spoke to Roy .
“Child . Their willpower alone won’t be enough . If your master goes out it will be easy, but since he isn’t here . . . you should go . ”
“Me?”
"I subtly suggested it to them . My ‘girin’ skill will bring out the temperament of a king in some of them . However, a suddenly created tower can collapse . A means of control is needed . ”
"Can’t Girin-nim do it?”
"I am their guardian deity . My skills are based in belief . If I punish them, a king won’t be born . Even if they were born, they would just be a tyrant . ”
Roy hesitated before saying .
“ . . . I have to obtain Master’s consent . ”
The girin laughed .
"He will agree . ”
I called Rose . Roy was alone in this situation . Rose would help him walk the path .
“Rose . Go to Roy and hand him this sword . ”
"Isn’t this a really cool looking sword?”
"The Eselal Blade . It is a sword that will prove Roy’s worth . ”
Rose’s eyes shone .
"What about me, Master?”
Roy was given a sword so she wanted one as well .
"I will make you one . I was able to obtain a small amount of Orihalcum . ”
"Ah! I saw that in a book . It is a great metal . You are making a sword for Rose with it? Wah!”
Rose expressed her pleasure .
Orihalcum .
It was one of the things I bought at the Demon World Auction .
Orihalcum was the strongest iron and was called God’s Metal . If it was refined and used to make a weapon, a masterpiece would be created . A skilled blacksmith was needed, but I had the dwarf king and Oswen . The combination should be enough to make something of the metal .
"I will send you the sword when it is finished . For now, join Roy and give him this sword . ”
"You are telling Rose to help Roy?”
“That’s right . ”
"Well, Roy can be insecure when he is alone . Rose will keep an eye on him . ”
Rose casually held the sword that was bigger than her body . She carried the sword and headed to M3 .
"I will go straight away~"
Rose sat on M3’s shoulder and they started to move quickly .
‘Then . . . ’
The post-processing of the auction goods was almost over . The other items needed time so I only had one thing left .
‘The Great Fire Essence . ’
The Great Fire Essence had come to the dungeon in a cage . I climbed to the top floor and watched it for a while .
Everybody else saw fire, but I could see a two-legged dragon . It looked like a ‘dragon man . ’
Fire lit up his spine and gave him a sharp impression .
‘What are you?’
It was something I had been wondering . I had felt a strange pull to him since the first time I saw him . He felt familiar to me .
Now it was time to check .
I would resolve my curiosity before returning him to the fire spirits .
Bump!
I unlocked the iron cage . The door was opened . . .
Grrrrrrr!
He rushed towards me .
