– Volume 3 Episode 17

17. What Monster Waves Left behind (1)

“Lady, are you awake?”

“Uh, uhm…”

When I open my eyes, I see a ceiling I don’t know.

Two long fluorescent lamps stood side by side and covered their eyes with their hands in the light emitting from them.

Looking around, still a little dazed, he could immediately see where he was.

Without having to look far, the clothes of the person standing next to him and the scenery behind him were enough to identify the place.

“Police office……?”

“Yes, it’s the police station. Do you remember what happened?”

In response to the police’s question, Suah Lee’s mind was reminded of her atrocities that she had committed at dawn.

“Ahhh…….”

His alcohol was very bad.

It was both good and bad for Lee Soo-ah that the memories of that time remain in her head even after being drunk.

Soo-ah Lee covered her blushing face with her hands as she recalled the appearance of herself screaming while drunk and of herself holding on to a passerby and telling a lie.

‘I’m crazy, so crazy!’

Of all her memories that came to mind, the thing that made her the most embarrassing now was her own business card, which she handed over to her passerby.

Since she was a really good-looking person without a single lie, she thought that she wanted to exchange numbers while drinking, so she handed her her business card.

No, but why is it a business card anyway!

Besides, she didn’t even get a number on her own.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah? Yes… Well, sorry to bother you!”

“What is the lungs, that’s what we do, huh?”

Lee Soo-ah, who left the police station after saying thank you to her, was still red.

She wanted to hide herself somewhere in her once, so she went straight to her own house.

When she arrived home, Soo-ah Lee had only thrown her bag, and she immediately threw her body on her bed and stared blankly at her ceiling.

Then, when her own atrocities overlapped, she repeated kicks in the air.

Her own atrocity, which she now regrets the most, was to hand over her business card.

But in her heart, in a corner of her, there was hope.

Will he ever contact you? expectations to.

Isn’t she a good girl for me? thinking to do.

It didn’t take much time for those expectations and thoughts to turn into disappointment and shame at the contact that didn’t come all day.

‘Well, I saw that, but it’s strange that I got a call.’

Lee Soo-ah, imagining herself squeezing out her tears and runny nose, let out a sigh of relief.

She said, though, that she regretted it a lot.

And now she seemed so embarrassed of her that she couldn’t even walk past her convenience store.’That oppa was really good-looking….if he hadn’t done that, he would have been able to make eye contact every now and then…’

He looked younger than him, even if he pretended to be, but when he was good, he was an older brother.

After the two days passed by Dantals, Hoya went to Dantals’ workshop.

As if the sword had not yet been completed, Dantals was in the midst of finishing work.

After waiting for a while, Dantals, who had finished assembling the grip, guard, and blade, smiled at Hoya and handed the finished sword.

[Blade of the raging cold]

Class: Unique

Attack: 2,000

Durability: 340/340

*When hitting the opponent, there is a 15% chance of inflicting the status abnormality [Frostbite].

* Skill cooldown and casting time are reduced by 20%.

* Ice attribute can be applied to all skills, and additional damage from ice attribute increases significantly.

This is a sword made by the legendary blacksmith Dantals using Ertel, which holds a powerful cold air, as the main material.

Since all of the blades are made of Ertel that contains the cold, it greatly enhances the effect of the Ice attribute.

Ertel’s effect has been greatly emphasized by using only adamantite to hold the basic skeleton of the sword without mixing additional materials.

Wear Restrictions: A warrior possessing ‘Ice’ with 460 Strength and 500 Magical Power

The weapon Dantals gave him had the ability to fully satisfy Hoya’s expectations.

First of all, the attack power was 500 times higher than that of the Gigant Red Bear Bone Sword, and the durability was more than doubled.

With this level of durability, it is unlikely that the sword will break in the middle of a battle like Adora did.

In addition to that, the special effects were also really good.

In particular, being able to apply ice properties to all skills was quite a huge effect.

It means that the ice attribute is also applied to Krauss-style swordsmanship.

You’ll know exactly how it’s applied once you try it.

The black stats that Dantals made were good, but the appearance was also very beautiful.

The white blade, which reflects light like ice, and the sword lamp have a gray color that does not reflect light in contrast to the beautifully shining blade, but a small amount of Ertel is drawing along the delicately sculpted pattern.

As Hoya swung his sword lightly, it felt heavier than the Gigant Red Bear Bone Sword he had used before, but it wasn’t a noticeable difference.

Rather, I liked Hoya more now that it is slightly heavier.

When the sword was put into the sheath, the front edge of the sheath and the guard of the sword came into contact with ice cubes smaller than grains of salt, shining under the light, and then disappeared immediately.

“How? Do you like it?”

“Yes, I love it!”

Dantals smiled contentedly when he saw the figure of Hoya he liked.

Hoya followed Dantals and smiled.

He was always grateful to Dan Thals.

No matter how much the material was obtained directly, it was Dantals that used the material to shape it and enhance its performance.

So, I want to repay you one day.

Not only to Dantals, but to all the inhabitants of Ordo.

“Then! Who made it, of course you have to like it!”

There were people of Ordo who had already been rewarded by Hoya, but he did not realize that Hoya had repaid them.

And even now, there were those who were being rewarded by Hoya.

The eyes of Dantals looking at Hoya were full of affection.

“Want to try it right away? Don’t mind me and go.”

“Hahaha… Do you drink a lot of tea?”

“little?”

Hoya scratched the back of his head and smiled mischievously.

His eyes were shining like a child who had been given a new toy, so Dantals did not catch Hoya and sent him away.

After greeting Dantals and leaving his workshop, Hoya headed to the village’s training ground.

After a while, there was a strong chill in the training ground.

A dark space with no light.

A candle lit from the place where the light from the outside was completely blocked and the inside was completely invisible.

The interior began to look very faint due to the candle burning straight without a single shake.

A space without a window, there was only one large round table in the center and six chairs placed around the table.

All but one of the six chairs had suspicious people sitting on them.

Five figures wearing identical black robes and long cone hats.

It is impossible to identify the person as the long black cloth with the red six-pointed star hanging from the cone-shaped hat hides the face.

Under the heavy silence, a figure opened his mouth.

“…our agent eventually completely wiped out.”

In the heavy silence that continued again, and the silence that continued for a long time, an arrogant voice broke through the silence.

“I said before? We have to help ourselves grow. He just watched from behind and disappeared without even realizing our existence!”

She got up banging her table hard and shrugged her shoulders.

The tremors of anger descended into her hands and reached her table, reaching out to everyone.

“Ha! What is independent growth! In the end, it ended up being neglected and lost!”

Her angry words continued for a long time.

Because everyone in her place felt the same way as her, she seemed to represent their own thoughts, so she didn’t bother to stop.

But there was someone who stopped her like that.

“stop.”

“……”

At one point in the only empty chair, Yen appeared and sat on the chair, leaning her back to watch the situation, and she closed her mouth and sat down.

As the silence began to fall again, the man who kept her mouth shut spoke again.

“It is a pity that our representative has disappeared. However, it is no wonder that the person we originally chose as our representative disappears at any time. We made the wrong choice from the start.”

“You…! Don’t be rude!”

“Am I wrong?”

Even though his face and eyes were clearly covered by the cloth, he felt as if he was being pierced by the eyes of a man.”Choosing him as a substitute was the best option, but it was also a handshake. He was a person who grew up fast and could expect unexpected strength, but at the same time was the kind of person we had no control over. We had to put a safeguard in place from the start. ”

“Control, what…”

“Don’t get me wrong.”

One of the characters tried to refute his choice of words, but was ignored by his voice.

“A representative is not a person we are supposed to serve. A representative is nothing more than a person to use for our purposes. ‘He’ is the correct expression, not ‘He’.”

No one objected to his words.

“And agents are good enough to exist anyway. They don’t need to be if they appear again.”

The man tucked his hands inside his robes and placed his muanga on the table.

What he put on was a feather of something.

“…what is this?”

“Check it out.”

The shortest of them all, all black, stretched out his hand and checked the information on his feathers.

Although not obscured by the cloth on his hat, the eyes of those who checked his feathers were the size of his fist.

“This, this, this…”

“What are you so surprised about?”

The eyes of the person who checked it by taking it like a feather from the hand of the person who was groping for his voice in surprise also grew as big as his fist.

It was bliss that filled his fist-sized eyes.

“this is……!”

“okay.”

The person who first pulled out the feather was smiling through the cloth.

[Tainted Hippogryph Feather]

A magi-tainted hippogryph feather.

Hippogryph feathers are one of the favorite materials of alchemists, but they have lost their value due to being corrupted by magic.

The identity of the feathers placed on the table was a by-product of Izbaront’s Monster Wave.

Originally, it was an item that would have all been recovered under the instructions of the horseman Evan, and it was something that adventurers who wanted a reward should have exchanged it for a reward at the horseman tower.

One of them has flowed into their hands.

And that one feather became a great hope for them.

They realized that what they were doing was not chasing vain dreams.

“What we did, what we pursued was not in vain. Their traces are so real! They still exist somewhere! There is a possibility!”

They focused on each word of the one who brought the feather.

“We’re now one step closer, no, we’re getting closer to our goal. If we can find them, we’ll rise proudly to the surface!”

Even though it was a space with no room for wind to enter, the air fluctuated and the hem of his clothes fluttered.

He could see his white teeth smiling deeply under the black cloth that was slightly lifted by the wind.

“Now, there really isn’t much left.”

After he had finished speaking, he stretched out his left hand and placed it on his chest, and the others followed the action and placed their hands on his chest.

On the back of their hands, every single one of them had a red six-pointed star drawn on them.

After numerous conversations that followed, all six characters got up and disappeared, and there was only one candle burning in the space where they disappeared.

When the candle was completely extinguished, there was only a dark stillness.
