All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 061
“Huff… Huu… Huuu…”
I won.
I was victorious.
Though such thoughts filled his mind, Shin Hyeok didn’t even have the leisure to immerse himself in them.
His body had already reached its limit, and his breath was caught up to his chin.
His lungs wanted even a little more, fresher air.
Only after taking deep breaths for a while did Shin Hyeok barely regain his condition and gulp down the potions Hyo-rin had made for fun from his inventory.
“Keurgh… These taste absolutely terrible…”
Shin Hyeok’s face contorted grotesquely at the terribly tasteless potions.
Usually, potions sold on the market had some flavor.
There’s a reason strawberry-flavored and grape-flavored potions sell better than other potions.
But compared to those, the potions Hyo-rin made weren’t just tasteless—they were absolutely horrendous.
He almost vomited as soon as he drank it, but when he held it down and swallowed it, the effects began to manifest in earnest.
“…Should I ask her to fix this or not?”
The taste was terrible, but the effects were certain.
Not only was his body, which had been ruined from the battle with Tarkan, rapidly recovering, but his mana, which had been crawling along the bottom, was also quickly filling up.
In terms of recovery power alone, it was incomparable to high-end grade potions sold on the market.
Typically, potions designated as high-end grade were so effective they were called spare lives, but even those paled in comparison to Hyo-rin’s potions.
So when Shin Hyeok was staring blankly at the empty potion bottle, wondering whether he should request modifications.
[You have achieved victory against the Champion of the Colosseum!]
[You have acquired the title: Champion of the Colosseum.]
[You have gained All Stats + 1,000.]
[You have reached the stat limit, so the acquired stats will be granted after promotion.]
[You have acquired a Unique Grade Trait Selection Ticket.]
[You have acquired a Legendary Grade Trait Draw Ticket.]
[You have acquired Legendary Grade Material Selection Ticket + 5.]
[You have acquired Legendary Grade Equipment Selection Ticket + 3.]
[You have gained 300,000 Achievement points.]
[You have acquired a Wandering Merchant Summon Ticket.]
[You have acquired an Early Awakening Ticket.]
[You have acquired Glasses of Talent Inspection.]
“…Wow.”
Message windows popped up like crazy.
So many message windows appeared that he couldn’t even look ahead properly.
Shin Hyeok stared blankly at the incredibly flashy message windows, then soon checked the rewards.
[Champion of the Colosseum]
* Skill: You can use the Colosseum.
* All stats increase by 30% within the Colosseum.
* All enemy stats decrease by 10% within the Colosseum.
“…Should I expand my title slots again?”
The title slots he had expanded before the battle with Tarkan.
The expansion ticket that cost 50,000 points since it was the first time now cost 150,000 points.
150,000 points.
In a situation where ordinary people don’t even have tens of thousands of points, excellent Diamond players barely have 100,000 points, and even transcendent players called Iwhang Samjeo Owang have only collected hundreds of thousands of points at most, this was 150,000 points.
Nevertheless, the effect of the ‘Champion of the Colosseum’ title was tempting enough to make him want to buy it.
Should I buy it or not?
Shin Hyeok pondered with the heart of a philosopher choosing between jjamppong and jjajangmyeon, then soon made his decision.
[You have purchased a Title Expansion Ticket.]
‘Originally, you have to buy things like this without looking back. That way you regret it less.’
150,000 points in one lump sum!
Shin Hyeok, who bought the title expansion ticket at once, immediately equipped the Champion of the Colosseum title.
Then Shin Hyeok could feel the strange sensation of this massive Colosseum connecting with himself.
Of course, since there was still much to examine, Shin Hyeok first checked the remaining rewards.
“A Unique Grade Trait Selection Ticket and a Legendary Grade Trait Draw Ticket. Ha, I’ve seen Unique once so I can understand that, but Legendary. To think I’d see something here that I never saw even before my regression.”
Since the broadcast was already muted, Shin Hyeok lightly spoke and let out an exclamation, then immediately used the Unique Grade Trait Selection Ticket first.
Swooooosh!
The list of Unique grade traits he had seen once before unfolds before Shin Hyeok’s eyes.
Since he had already examined it once with the selection ticket he got as a reward for 10 consecutive Colosseum victories not long ago, Shin Hyeok didn’t think much about it.
[Invisible Hand]
* Classification: Trait [Unique]
You can use invisible hands using energy.
└You can create additional hands using energy.
└The more additional hands you have, the more energy consumption increases dramatically.
* Warning: Invisible hands use the sensation of using non-existent body parts, which may cause difficulty in use.
“Let’s go with this.”
Trait: Invisible Hand.
Actually, if it weren’t for Observation Eye, this was a trait attractive enough that he thought he would have chosen it.
While two hands might be enough for an ordinary player, swords, spears, bows, fists, etc.
For Shin Hyeok, who handles various weapons and techniques, the value of invisible hands was as high as any decent legendary-grade trait.
Of course, it wasn’t all advantages.
Since it was like gaining a new body part called invisible hands, learning how to handle them was as difficult as a human suddenly using wings that sprouted from their back to fly around like a hawk.
“Hmm, so it feels roughly like this. I got the hang of it.”
Well, that story didn’t apply to Shin Hyeok.
Along with being Shin Hyeok’s trait, there was the trait: Versatility, which had given the past Shin Hyeok crazy nicknames like All Master and Infinite Emperor.
Thanks to that, Shin Hyeok, who handled the invisible hands a few times and immediately got the hang of it, moved on to the next reward.
“…This one really makes me nervous.”
Legendary Grade Trait Draw Ticket.
A draw ticket that randomly draws a legendary grade trait.
Thinking of the legendary-grade traits Shin Hyeok possessed—the still-sealed ‘Late Bloomer’ and ‘Predation’ that came from All the Apex of Evil—he couldn’t help but have expectations.
But since it was random, he could also get a dud.
Of course, since it was a legendary grade trait, even a dud would crush any decent unique grade trait.
‘Right, let’s take it easy, take it easy. So what if something good doesn’t come up?’
So Shin Hyeok calmed his excited heart.
-Caw?
“Kkamak, pray that something good comes up. If something good comes up, I’ll give you a snack.”
-Caw! Caaaw!!! Caw caw caw!!!
Kkamak, who had been released from equipment form after the battle ended, tilted his head, then his eyes sparkled brightly at the mention of snacks and he flapped his wings, flying around Shin Hyeok.
The moment Shin Hyeok chuckled at that sight that seemed to be praying for his good fortune and tore the draw ticket.
[You have acquired the trait: Mana Circuit.]
[The Disciple of the Sage senses their traces and comes to find you.]
“…!”
A jackpot had hit.
From legendary-grade traits onward, they tend to split into two directions.
One is just a legendary-grade trait.
This is literally an ordinary(?) trait with abilities corresponding to legendary grade.
The other was traits that originated from Constellations.
Like All the Apex of Evil’s ‘Predation.’
Naturally, traits originating from Constellations were treated one level higher than typical legendary-grade traits.
Naturally, traits originating from constellations were treated as one level higher than typical legendary-grade traits.
And Shin Hyeok obtained his second Constellation trait.
But everything has its pros and cons.
If handled wrongly, there could be anger or interference from the Constellation that was the source of the trait.
Of course, that only applied to Players without any backing.
[Wushen indifferently glares at someone.]
[Cheonma throws a tantrum, telling someone to watch their eyes.]
[All the Apex of Evil leisurely gazes at someone.]
[The Disciple of the Sage breaks out in cold sweat.]
‘How reassuring.’
Wushen, Cheonma, All the Apex of Evil.
Three Constellations related to Shin Hyeok had appointed themselves as his backing.
Suddenly three Constellations.
Moreover, each one was a Constellation standing in high positions, so when they protected a mere Player, the Disciple of the Sage couldn’t hide his bewilderment.
Soon, the Disciple of the Sage disappeared faster than he had appeared.
[Wushen hopes you will properly absorb your new power.]
[Cheonma evaluates it as a useful ability.]
[All the Apex of Evil tells you to devour that as well.]
“I will keep that in mind.”
Shin Hyeok’s three Constellations each left a word and disappeared like the Disciple of the Sage.
Having overcome any potential pressure from the new Constellation with the help of his three Constellations who were as reliable as hearty soup, Shin Hyeok checked his newly acquired trait.
[Mana Circuit]
* Classification: Trait [Legendary]
Replaces mana roads with sophisticated mana circuits.
└Mana recovery speed greatly increases.
└Mana stat acquisition speed greatly increases.
└Mana output greatly increases.
└Mana manipulation ability greatly increases.
“…Huh, this is tremendous.”
The effect of the trait Mana Circuit was simple.
The mana roads that every Player possesses.
It was replacing those with mana circuits that were one step further advanced.
Simple, but its effects were incomparable to anything else.
With this one trait, Shin Hyeok could endure longer than others and gather mana faster.
Additionally, with increased output and manipulation ability, he could use stronger and more delicate magic.
Since it was a trait beneficial to both Warriors and Mages, for Shin Hyeok who possessed traits of both, it applied doubly.
Savoring the thrilling pleasure of becoming even stronger as it spread from the crown of his head down his spine throughout his entire body, Shin Hyeok roughly stuffed the remaining rewards into his inventory.
‘I’ll use the legendary-grade materials for the holy sword and Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s bow, and I can examine the legendary-grade equipment slowly. Same goes for the wandering merchant summoning ticket. I can’t use the early awakening ticket and talent inspection glasses right now anyway.’
The remaining rewards were either unnecessary to reveal on the broadcast where viewers were watching, even though it was muted, or couldn’t be used here.
Having roughly finished organizing all the rewards, Shin Hyeok headed toward his final reward.
“Cough! Kuhaha, was the reward you gained from capturing me sweet? Human Warrior, Shin-hyeok Choi.”
“It was so sweet that my teeth might rot. Thanks to you, it seems it will be of great help going forward.”
“Kuk! Yes, that’s enough. For a loser of an era who was trapped in the framework of being a Green Orc and struggled to gain recognition from True Green Orcs to become the foundation for someone with a promising future – that’s something I couldn’t wish for more as an Orc, as a Warrior, and as a Shaman.”
Tarkan.
He was Shin Hyeok’s final reward.
He was dying.
The injuries from usurping the Colosseum Champion’s position and his battle with Shin Hyeok.
Furthermore, it was because the rebound from the Trinity Unity he had used struck him.
But he seemed rather relieved.
Watching him feel relief even before death because he had let go of everything, Shin Hyeok asked calmly.
“Who made you into that state?”
“Who? Ridiculous. Do you think this is something one person could do? Intervening in the Dimension Arena to turn Players from other dimensions into guard dogs? Of course I agreed to it, but even so, what they did was never easy.”
“I know. The Homo Novus Empire. With them at the center, the Orc Empire became their limbs and lent a hand. In that process, others would have helped bit by bit too. Am I right?”
“…Surprising. This isn’t information that a Player who hasn’t even had the Integrated League open yet and is only playing in their dimensional league should know.”
Tarkan, who had been speaking as if there was no point in talking, couldn’t help but be amazed at Shin Hyeok’s information that far exceeded expectations.
Then he gradually regained his composure.
“A loser of an era has nothing more to say. Whatever I tell you won’t be of any help.”
“…”
Watching him calmly wait for death after erasing even all lingering attachments, Shin Hyeok activated Predation.
Tarkan was an excellent Warrior and an excellent Shaman.
Furthermore, he was a Player powerful enough to rival a Challenger.
If he devoured him, Shin Hyeok would make another leap forward.
“Your power will be put to good use.”
“Kaha! That’s the best thing I’ve heard!”
Having manifested Predation’s maw beside him while speaking his final words to Tarkan, Shin Hyeok pronounced the end for Tarkan, who maintained his joy even while intuiting that his death would not be ordinary.
“Predation.”
Crrrrrrrrrack!
