Auto Looting Range Too Wide Episode 35

Episode 35: Special Reward (1)

* * *

The power of Fierce Fang Soul Severing was extraordinary.

The golem’s torso split without resistance. The golem, divided into four pieces, collapsed.

The mineral swords also fell to the floor as if their power had been cut off.

“Huff, huff.”

Mincheol stood there gasping for breath.

The battle was over, but his excitement hadn’t subsided yet. He couldn’t break free from his immersion.

Only after taking several deep breaths did Mincheol realize the battle had ended.

As much as he had been immersed in combat, the rebound was severe when the tension released.

All strength drained from his body. Mincheol dropped his twin swords and slumped to the floor.

“I, I won. I won!”

Mincheol looked at the golem’s remains with joy.

The happiness of survival and the sense of achievement from defeating a powerful enemy rushed over him simultaneously.

Soon after, he realized how reckless his actions had been.

“Wow, what a crazy bastard. Throwing my body just to create a chance to use a skill? Blocking a kick relying only on a shield?”

Even thinking about it himself, it was insane.

No matter that it was the only way.

“I’m lucky the shield held up. Otherwise, I would have died right there. Really got lucky.”

As the price for blocking the golem’s kick, the small shield had shattered completely.

He didn’t regret it. Thanks to it, he had saved his life.

“But why isn’t the clear message appearing?”

Don’t tell me it’s restoring again?

When his thoughts reached that point, Mincheol felt a chill.

He quickly got up and gripped his twin swords.

Fortunately, the situation Mincheol worried about didn’t occur.

【Error.】

Instead, a strange message appeared.

【An unexpected situation has occurred.】

【Calculation is required to resolve the problem.】

【Please wait a moment.】

“What’s going on?”

While Mincheol was confused by the message he’d never seen before.

Suddenly a black hole appeared and Ursongbarsong emerged.

Mincheol brightened at the familiar face.

“Aren’t you the administrator?”

“Awakener, greetings. I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.”

Ursongbarsong pressed his white fedora to his chest and bowed his head.

He was an orc who always felt dignified no matter when you saw him.

“I came because an error message suddenly appeared…”

Ursongbarsong looked at the remains of the Successful Golem with a surprised expression.

“I expected that with your abilities, you’d easily clear the 10th floor, but to think you actually defeated the Successful Golem… I can’t believe it even seeing it with my own eyes.”

“Uh… do I need to pay compensation?”

At Mincheol’s question, Ursongbarsong burst into hearty laughter.

“How could that be? Rather, you should receive a reward. You’ve accomplished what no one else could.”

At Ursongbarsong’s words, Mincheol felt his mind ease.

“But it showed an error instead of giving a reward.”

“You don’t need to worry. When something happens that even the system doesn’t expect, an error message appears. The system isn’t perfect either.”

“Do error messages appear often?”

“This is the first time on Earth.”

At the strange words, Mincheol felt puzzled.

“‘On Earth’?”

“Oh my, I said something unnecessary. I can’t tell you any more than that.”

Ursongbarsong brought his index finger to his lips as he spoke.

His mouth was smiling, but his eyes weren’t.

Mincheol instinctively knew it would be dangerous to ask more.

“More importantly, you’re quite injured.”

“Me?”

Mincheol was puzzled.

Except for minor cuts, he couldn’t find any wounds.

“Oh dear. It seems you can’t feel it due to excessive endorphin secretion.”

Ursongbarsong poked Mincheol’s forearm with his thick finger.

At that moment, sharp pain shot through his spine.

It hurt so much he couldn’t even scream.

Mincheol clutched his forearm and trembled.

“Your forearm is on the verge of being shattered, and two or three ribs are already broken.”

It seemed to be injuries from blocking the Successful Golem’s kick.

Thinking about it again, there was no way his body could be fine after taking such an attack head-on.

“I know you enjoy adventure, Awakener, but please be careful.”

“A, adventure? Safety is my motto.”

“…?”

Ursongbarsong made an expression of not understanding, then laughed loudly.

“Uhahaha, making me laugh like this, you’re quite something. You have talent for jokes too, Awakener.”

“I, I’m not joking.”

“Anyway, everything will be healed when you return to Earth, so I’ll treat you in advance.”

Ursongbarsong snapped his fingers. Green light enveloped his body. The pain disappeared as if washed away.

“Wow.”

Mincheol examined his body with wonder.

Just moments ago his body felt like it was tearing apart, but now he felt perfectly fine.

【Reward calculation complete!】

【You have defeated the ‘Successful Golem’!】

【You have cleared 10th Floor Area B with EX grade!】

-Effect 2. Mana +50.

【You acquire a Hidden Piece.】

-You acquire 10 ‘Lucky Coins (Bound)’.

“Wow.”

Mincheol couldn’t help but be amazed after checking the messages.

These rewards were far superior to any EX-grade rewards he had received so far.

He had even been given a Unique Skill Enhancement Ticket.

It was truly a reward worthy of a boss battle.

【Choices are given based on the Awakened’s combat style.】

Moreover, the rewards weren’t over yet.

This was where the real part began.

Clearing 10th Floor Area B gave users the opportunity to choose one of the rewards specialized for them.

【EX grade clear bonus is granted!】

【All rewards are fixed at ‘Legendary’ grade!】

Mincheol was greatly pleased by the message about legendary grade.

He had heard that Awakened who cleared 10th Floor Area B with SSS grade received Unique grade rewards.

Mincheol had obtained legendary grade, which was one step higher than that.

“The opportunity to choose legendary grade items. Truly remarkable indeed.”

Ursongbarsong also nodded his head as if impressed.

【Please select your choice.】

1. Path of the Warrior.

2. Path of the Hunter.

3. Path of the Unique.

“Let’s first check what rewards are given.”

Mincheol selected the first option, Warrior, as Ursongbarsong suggested.

【Helm of the Ice Demon.】

-Grade: Legendary.

-Description: A helmet used by the Berserkers who ruled the northern regions of the Rooftop Continent. The wearer gains frenzied power.

-Effect 1. Strength +200.

-Effect 2. Health +300.

-Effect 2. Can activate skill ‘Berserker’. Berserkers become stronger the closer they are to death.

“Hooh… Well now, quite a fearsome item has appeared.”

Ursongbarsong, who was checking the reward together, expressed his admiration.

“Is this really that amazing?”

He wasn’t asking because he thought the reward was insignificant.

It was legendary grade and clearly had terrifying effects.

However, he asked because it seemed like Ursongbarsong had a specific reason for his admiration.

“Amazing indeed. The Rooftop Continent was land ruled by the Empire. There was nowhere the Empire’s power didn’t reach. Except for one place – the North.”

Ursongbarsong explained in a gentle tone.

“The northerners’ temperament was so rough and fierce that they couldn’t accept the Empire’s rule. But if it were simply for that reason alone, they couldn’t have defied the Empire’s dominion. They had the power to match.”

“Were those the Berserkers?”

Ursongbarsong nodded his head.

“From what I know, the northern Berserkers were born through strange rituals. Each individual was powerful enough to face the Imperial Knights.”

The Imperial Knights must have been quite high-level.

The fact that they fought against such opponents alone showed just how strong the Berserkers were.

However, one question arose.

“But wasn’t Cardmos Dunwall a duke of the Empire? Yet the Empire couldn’t conquer the North?”

“They said it was too cold to go there.”

“Ah.”

“And he was such a maverick that he didn’t even listen to the Emperor’s orders.”

It was an understandable reason.

“Perhaps such a reward is given because you are a warrior among warriors who doesn’t shy away from danger.”

“…No, I’m actually the type who avoids danger.”

“Kahahaha! I never expected you to make me laugh twice with the same joke!”

Ursongbarsong grabbed his belly and laughed.

Mincheol felt so wronged.

“Let’s check the next reward as well.”

Mincheol checked the second option, Path of the Hunter, as Ursongbarsong suggested.

【Sharbahan】

-Grade: Legendary.

-Description: A chakram that was only given to those who reached the pinnacle among the Assassins of the Blue Moon.

-Effect 1. Skill ‘Silence’ is permanently applied.

-Effect 2. Can activate skill ‘Wind Severing’.

*Recovery is difficult, so use with caution.

“Chakram?”

A chakram was a throwing weapon shaped like a round ring.

In some ways, it could be called the most famous throwing weapon in the world.

For Mincheol, who was getting great results with throwing weapons, it couldn’t help but catch his interest.

Throwing skills became stronger the higher the power of the thrown object.

Then how strong would it be to throw a legendary grade weapon, especially one specialized for throwing?

There was a warning about being careful with recovery, but that wasn’t a problem.

Mincheol had auto looting after all.

“Let’s look at the last one as well.”

Ursongbarsong said. Mincheol selected the final ‘Path of the Unique’.

【Trait Selection Ticket.】

-Description: Can change to any desired unique skill.

“Huh?”

Mincheol was so surprised that he turned to look at Ursongbarsong.

But Ursongbarsong’s expression was also quite serious.

“…I never expected something like this to come out.”

“Is this really that amazing?”

“Amazing indeed. This isn’t just an item that randomly converts traits – it’s one that lets you choose. I’ve never seen an item like this before.”

Ursongbarsong looked at the item with a gaze filled with awe.

“With this, you can choose any trait you want. Malcolm Bernard’s unique skill… no, you could even choose something more incredible than that.”

Malcolm Bernard’s skill was Absolute Zero. It was a terrifying unique skill that could freeze anything.

However, there were awakeners in the world who possessed unique skills even more incredible than Malcolm Bernard’s.

It’s just that they either died or gave up climbing before reaching a position as remarkable as Malcolm Bernard’s, so they remained unknown.

“Not just Earth either. You can choose unique skills other than those awakened by humans.”

“Other unique skills, you mean…”

Ursongbarsong once again covered his lips with his index finger.

It meant not to ask any further.

“In terms of value alone, the Unique Skill Change Voucher is the highest.”

Mincheol stared intently at the selection options.

All sorts of imaginations flooded his mind.

He thought of all the various unique skills he had heard about while researching the Tower.

And curiosity welled up about the unique skills that ‘non-human’ beings had awakened, which Ursongbarsong had mentioned.

“I will…”

After much deliberation, Mincheol made his choice for the reward.
