All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 041

 

[You have acquired Skill: Magic [B].]

 

[Skill: Shield has been integrated into Magic [B].]

 

“Magic it is, after all.”

 

Shin Hyeok’s choice was magic.

 

Typically, there were several paths players could choose from, but broadly speaking, there weren’t that many.

 

Among them, what was called the twin pillars were swordsmanship and magic.

 

Naturally, before his regression.

 

Shin Hyeok, who was called the All Master or the Infinite Emperor, also handled magic.

 

No, he had surpassed the level of merely handling it.

 

He wielded magic that could work even in the Challenger Tier.

 

In front of Shin Hyeok at his peak, even Robert Jason, one of the current Two Emperors known as the Magic Emperor, was no different from a child.

 

Anyway, having learned the magic skill, Shin Hyeok lightly used magic to regain his sense.

 

“Fire Ball.”

 

Whoosh!

 

B-rank magic is called the Ball series.

 

It compresses the power of various attributes into a ‘Ball’ and unleashes it, characterized by strong destructive and explosive power.

 

What was particularly important was that Shin Hyeok also possessed special energies like demonic energy and divine power.

 

Crackle!

 

A Fire Ball dyed black.

 

It was a change due to demonic energy.

 

Though it could be called just a change in color, the destructive power could be considered doubled since the most destructive demonic energy had seeped in.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

Just looking at the explosive power of the lightly thrown Fire Ball, one could tell this well.

 

Shin Hyeok nodded briefly after confirming it had exactly the power he had expected.

 

“Hmm, this time I also have divine power, so what would happen if I mixed this in.”

 

Unlike his previous life, the current Shin Hyeok also possessed divine power.

 

Divine power, which he couldn’t have before because it was opposite to demonic energy.

 

The moment he threw a Fire Ball infused with it.

 

Flicker flicker flicker!

 

“…Oho, interesting. Just being on the flames provides healing. This would make priests unnecessary.”

 

The entire area was dyed with pure white flames.

 

And the pure white flames didn’t burn anyone but healed them instead.

 

Having discovered this interesting fact, Shin Hyeok was satisfied with the new method.

 

“Shall I finish opening the rewards?”

 

Because there were still many reward boxes left to open.

 

Unique-grade material and equipment selection tickets.

 

Legendary-grade material and equipment selection tickets.

 

And finally, even a trait selection ticket.

 

To open all of those quickly, he had to move busily.

 

* * *

 

From the unique-grade material selection ticket, Shin Hyeok chose magic iron.

 

It was the very same magic iron he had already used once to make a magic spear.

 

“Just having magic crystals won’t be enough to repair the magic spear. Above all, magic iron is hard to obtain.”

 

It was a choice to repair the magic spear that had currently passed into Sejin’s hands.

 

Since magic iron contained demonic energy, it was managed at the national level, making it difficult to obtain from outside sources.

 

One would have to frequent the underground like black markets or illegal markets, which was bothersome, and even if there were items for sale, groups like the Villain Union, Pandemonium, and Devil Worshippers would steal them, making it even more so.

 

Anyway, after throwing the heavy magic iron into his inventory.

 

“Hmm, something useful from unique grade… Ah, this is it.”

 

Shin Hyeok, who had been rummaging through the unique-grade weapon selection ticket, soon found a bracelet.

 

[Bracelet of Mana Charging]

 

* Unique Grade

 

A bracelet that can store large amounts of mana.

 

* Mana + 57

 

* Can charge mana equivalent to 5,000 stats.

 

* Unique Skill: Mana Release

 

“With this, I should be able to cover a significant portion of my mana shortage.”

 

Bracelet of Mana Charging.

 

As the name suggested, it was a bracelet that could store mana, essentially like a portable battery.

 

Since it could store mana equivalent to 5,000 stats, it could be used quite conveniently.

 

With just this, there would rarely be a shortage of mana.

 

Moreover, Mana Release, which spits out all remaining mana from the bracelet to cause a massive explosion in an instant, wouldn’t be bad as a joker card either.

 

Later, around Challenger level, the capacity might become a bit ambiguous, but that was an unavoidable part.

 

To be a reliable card even in Challenger, it would need to be at least legendary grade.

 

Above all-

 

“Ha, even I’m getting a little excited about this.”

 

[Legendary Grade Material Selection Ticket]

 

[Legendary Grade Equipment Selection Ticket]

 

Since Shin Hyeok currently had cards that would let him obtain such legendary-grade items, it could be said to be meaningless.

 

The value of these two was significant enough to make even the great Shin Hyeok tremble.

 

First, Shin Hyeok decided to choose the material.

 

“Should I make the magic spear properly, or should I make the holy sword legendary too.”

 

Shin Hyeok had two choices before him.

 

Magic spear or holy sword.

 

Actually, just one legendary-grade material was enough to make legendary-grade equipment.

 

However, the problem was that putting in two or three would allow making equipment with better options.

 

“If I throw in two legendary-grade materials and generously add unique-grade materials, even legendary+ grade would be possible.”

 

Legendary+ grade.

 

He knew well from the unique+ grade how big the difference was between having just one plus attached or not.

 

Especially at higher grades, it wouldn’t be strange to say that value was doubled.

 

Of course, he had to consider other aspects too.

 

“However, no matter how good plus grade is, it’s not better than equipping one more legendary-grade weapon.”

 

Two legendary-grade items were better than one legendary+ grade item.

 

One or two.

 

In the midst of continued contemplation, Shin Hyeok finally came up with an answer.

 

“I’ll go with the magic spear.”

 

Magic spear.

 

That was Shin Hyeok’s choice.

 

There were several reasons why he specifically chose the magic spear.

 

First, once equipment was made, it was very difficult to upgrade its grade.

 

In other words, it was better to make something proper when making it once.

 

Second, there were no proper techniques specifically for divine power.

 

Unless there was a unique technique that could only be performed with divine power like Cheonma Seonggong, there was no reason to choose the holy sword without such a thing.

 

The third and final reason was-

 

“I can just obtain legendary materials again later.”

 

No matter how precious, it was ultimately just material.

 

With Shin Hyeok’s current abilities, he was confident he could obtain another legendary-grade material in the near future.

 

“Since it would be wasteful to make it using only Sacred Will, I should make the holy sword legendary+ grade too.”

 

This was even more so since he already had one more legendary-grade material to make the holy sword.

 

Having made his choice, Shin Hyeok looked through the legendary-grade materials one by one.

 

After thoroughly examining the list of demonic-type materials and those that would complement them, Shin Hyeok soon made his decision.

 

“Let’s go with the rune.”

 

Rune.

 

The precise name was Skill Rune, a material that could definitively embed the skill contained within the skill rune when used in crafting.

 

The effects of runes varied by grade, and some runes only appeared at unique grade or higher, legendary grade or higher, making them quite rare.

 

Among them, the rune Shin Hyeok chose was—

 

[Rune of Annihilation]

 

* Legendary Grade

 

A rune containing the unique skill: Annihilation. When used in crafting, Annihilation will be imbued into the weapon.

 

It was the Rune of Annihilation.

 

The effect of the Rune of Annihilation was simple.

 

[Annihilation]

 

* Legendary Grade

 

* When using the skill, the next attack deals additional damage equal to 500% of attack power.

 

Perfect destruction befitting the name Annihilation—that was the power possessed by the Rune of Annihilation.

 

“I’m looking forward to seeing how strong it’ll be when used together with Cheonma Seonggong.”

 

The Rune of Annihilation was powerful even when used alone, but if used together with techniques like Seomma and Pungma from Cheonma Seonggong, even Shin Hyeok couldn’t predict just how strong it would become.

 

Having decided on the legendary-grade material, Shin Hyeok immediately moved on to the legendary-grade equipment section.

 

“Accessories… accessories…”

 

Naturally, Shin Hyeok’s choice this time was also accessories.

 

From legendary grade onwards, the additional effects attached to accessories were absurd, so it was a natural choice if anything.

 

The Ring of Herculean Strength that doubled strength stats for a moment.

 

Lake of Mana, a necklace that dramatically increased mana recovery speed for a certain period.

 

The Sage’s Bracelet with options for reduced magic casting speed, enhanced magic power, and substantial mana recovery increase.

 

From legendary grade onwards, there were only items so powerful that picking any of them would explosively boost Shin Hyeok’s combat power.

 

“Hmm, are there only items focused on one thing… It would be nice if there was something that could be used for various skills or situations, even if the performance was slightly lower.”

 

However, from Shin Hyeok’s perspective, each item left something to be desired.

 

Shin Hyeok’s ability lay in using various skills appropriately in the right situations.

 

Of course, accessories with strengths in one area also had their uses, but disappointing was disappointing.

 

In the midst of this, one piece of equipment caught Shin Hyeok’s eye.

 

“Plus Ultra Ring. This isn’t bad.”

 

Plus Ultra Ring.

 

It was equipment he’d never seen before, but its effects could be called the best among all the equipment Shin Hyeok had seen so far.

 

[Plus Ultra Ring]

 

* Legendary Grade

 

For great transcendence!

 

* All Stats + 1

 

* Unique Skill: Transcendence

 

* Cannot be removed once equipped

 

First off, the Plus Ultra Ring had options that were no different from trash.

 

A mere All Stats + 1.

 

This could be called an option worse than even common-grade items.

 

On top of that, it had the option of being impossible to remove once equipped, making it the worst equipment possible.

 

The thought “This is legendary grade?” naturally came to mind, but one unique skill overwhelmed everything else.

 

[Transcendence]

 

* Legendary Grade

 

* When used, increases the grade of one A-rank or lower skill by one level.

 

* Cooldown: 24 hours

 

“Haha, this is really insane.”

 

Transcendence.

 

It was literally an insane skill that elevated one skill to the next level.

 

Since it was A-rank or lower, using it on S-rank skills to reach beyond was impossible, but even this was a sufficiently satisfying result.

 

S-rank skill.

 

That was a grade that worked even at the Challenger level.

 

Having considered up to that point, Shin Hyeok chose the Plus Ultra Ring without looking back.

 

As soon as he selected it, Shin Hyeok immediately equipped it as if someone might steal it, then finally looked at the remaining ticket in his hand.

 

[Trait Selection Ticket]

 

“Phew, let’s go.”

 

Riiiiip!

 

The main dish.

 

As Shin Hyeok tore open the trait selection ticket without hesitation, traits spread out before his eyes.

 

“Traits only go up to unique grade? Well, even this is more than enough.”

 

Unfortunately, the traits he could choose from only went up to unique grade.

 

Of course, even unique grade alone was sufficiently impressive, so Shin Hyeok quickly scanned through the trait list given as options.

 

“Not only Iwhang Samjeo Owang-level traits, but traits that promising talents might have are everywhere.”

 

The disappointment of it not being legendary grade was brief.

 

Just from a light scan, Shin Hyeok smiled with satisfaction upon confirming that sufficiently impressive traits were lined up.

 

From this point on, Shin Hyeok began frantically racking his brain to select traits.

 

The result of his selection, drawing upon even his pre-regression knowledge:

 

[Observation Eye]

 

* Classification: Trait [Unique]

 

Eyes that see through everything

 

└You can observe the flow of energy.

 

└You can examine the opponent’s status window.

 

* Warning: Penalties exist when the gap is large.

 

“This would be good.”

 

He selected the trait called Observation Eye.

 

A trait that not only allowed him to see with his eyes the flow of energy that normally couldn’t be seen, but also let him examine the status windows containing everything about players.

 

Of course, as noted in the warning, he needed to be careful of penalties, but it had effects that made even that seem like nothing.

 

Having finished settling all the rewards, Shin Hyeok exited the game with a lightened heart.

 

Naturally, regardless of Shin Hyeok’s lightened mood, the world was in the midst of exploding.
