Chapter 290
Chapter 290
The Blue Spirit God had fallen.
Normally, merely toppling an Evil God didn’t end the battle.
Only after defeating the Evil God and eliminating every monster under its command would the battle truly conclude.
But the Blue Spirit God was different.
“Sher Banil Aronduen….”
The spirits under the Blue Spirit God’s command began to fade, murmuring the same words the Blue Spirit God had uttered in its final moment.
Since I was the only one among them capable of interpreting ancient rune language, I attempted a rough translation.
‘We shall return to the embrace of mana….’
That was roughly the meaning.
Regardless, that was that.
As the Blue Spirit God and its subordinate spirits vanished.
“We won!”
“We defeated the Evil God!”
“Uwaaaaaaaah!”
“We really, truly won!”
Cheers erupted from Guild members in all directions.
So exhausted were they that the moment they finished shouting their victory cries, they collapsed to the ground or slumped where they stood.
I understood.
While I had been occupied with the Blue Spirit God and couldn’t observe them closely, they had endured against over a thousand spirits—even with their numbers significantly reduced.
But before that.
There was something I needed to do before the spirits completely dispersed.
“Luke.”
– I shall partake gratefully, Master.
[ Luke has consumed ‘Spirit of Sand’. ]
[ Luke has consumed ‘Spirit of Gentle Breeze’. ]
[ Luke has consumed ‘Spirit of Lightning’. ]
….
Feeding time.
The sheer number of spirits I had toppled upon my initial arrival, even consuming special-grade mana stones, was staggering.
Consuming the ordinary spirits alone yielded an enormous amount.
But the true prize was.
[ Luke has consumed ‘Blue Spirit God’. ]
[ Luke’s stats have increased by 300. ]
[ Luke accepts the nourishment left behind by ‘Black Flame Dragon, Lucknir Desperate Ignoxtan’. ]
This was it.
Truly, an Evil God.
The stat increase Luke gained was extraordinary.
Under normal circumstances, Luke would have absorbed all the items the Blue Spirit God dropped, but doing so now might invite misunderstanding.
“Luke, don’t retrieve the items. Leave them be.”
– Yes, Master.
I left the items where they were.
The System Message that followed.
[ You have completed the Main Scenario Quest ‘Omen of Great Evil (6)’. ]
[ Your level has increased. ]
[ Your level has increased. ]
….
[ Main Scenario Quest ‘Omen of Great Evil (7)’ has been created. ]
Rank: Epic
Description: Having advanced to All Master, you must follow the guidance of fate and prevent the emergence of great evil.
Objective: Search for the seventh omen of great evil.
I casually ignored the messages that always appeared.
[ You have eliminated the second omen of great evil. ]
[ As a reward for achieving your second achievement as an All Master, you may strengthen one of the All Master’s abilities. ]
For the Quest reward.
[ You have selected ‘Rank Assimilation’ from the All Master’s abilities. ]
I selected Rank Assimilation, which I had already decided on beforehand.
There was no better ability than Rank Assimilation to properly utilize the low-level equipment filling Luke’s subspace.
Next, I tried to examine the items dropped by the Evil God.
– Master.
“What is it?”
– What should I do with the items dropped by the spirits?
“Let’s organize them later for now. It’ll be difficult to classify.”
– The classification has already been completed.
“What?”
– All items from the spirits were attribute-specific mana stones. The ranks and quantities have also been organized.
An unexpected report came from Luke.
Attribute-specific mana stones?
These would be among the rarer types of mana stones compared to ordinary ones, wouldn’t they?
“Can you bring them out?”
On a whim, I instructed him to bring them out by classification, and Black Flame ignited before me as mana stones began to materialize.
[ Intermediate Fire Mana Stone ]
[ Intermediate Water Mana Stone ]
[ Intermediate Earth Mana Stone ]
….
Just as Luke said, the attribute-specific mana stones were organized in a line.
It wasn’t merely a few types of attributes—there were even mana stones of remarkably rare attributes like sound and sand.
The ranks were also diverse.
Ranging from the lowest grade all the way to the highest.
Of course, the number of highest-grade mana stones wasn’t particularly abundant, but the mere fact that they existed at all was remarkable.
I consumed highest-grade mana stones without much thought, but for Second, which had only been open for two years, even the highest-grade mana stones were extraordinarily precious.
“Mir, surely this isn’t all….”
“Yes, these are all the mana stones we obtained from this battle.”
“…We should hurry and start collecting items too. Everyone heard that, right?”
“Yes! We’ll start gathering items right away!”
“Everyone, get up! If the highest-grade mana stones get buried in the sand, we’re in serious trouble!”
“Highest-grade mana stones imbued with attributes? How much are those worth?”
“Hurry and collect them!”
The guild members began frantically gathering the mana stones.
I’d like to help with Luke’s power, but what Luke can devour is ultimately limited to only the monsters I’ve defeated.
The other monsters must be farmed directly by the guild members.
Therefore, I left all the mana stones dropped by the ordinary spirits to the guild members.
And we.
“Phew. I’m looking forward to this. What kind of item dropped.”
I decided to check the item dropped by the Blue Spirit God.
However.
“Could a mythic-grade item have dropped, just like with you, Mir?”
“I….”
“You don’t need to hide it. Both the ‘Black Lion’s Grip’ and the ‘Silver Wind’s Guardian Necklace’ that were listed on the Auction House before were your items, weren’t they?”
“….”
“I didn’t know at first, but honestly, having come this far, there’s no way I couldn’t figure it out. The only thing that could drop mythic-grade items is the Evil God, and among all users, only you have hunted the Evil God.”
Unexpected information came from Tae-ryeon’s lips.
Being exposed as the owner of the two items I’d listed on the Auction House was somewhat awkward.
‘But it doesn’t really matter now.’
I’d grown considerably by now, so I had no intention of hiding it anymore.
Therefore, I answered her expectations honestly.
“I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much.”
“Why?”
“Among all the Evil Gods I’ve defeated so far, finished equipment has never dropped even once.”
“What? That can’t be right. Then what about the items you listed….”
“I crafted them from materials that dropped from the Evil God. Even getting materials is fortunate enough.”
“That means….”
“Yes. There have been times when nothing dropped at all.”
“How is that possible!”
“It’s true.”
When I defeated the Black Worm God.
The Evil God dropped no items whatsoever.
Well, a skill book called ‘Evil God’s Tome’ did drop, but that was essentially no different from a quest reward from All Master.
So, what would happen this time?
Did the Evil God drop a proper item?
I’d told myself not to expect anything, but as I approached, I couldn’t help but harbor a glimmer of hope.
“Wow, there’s quite a lot, isn’t there?”
Far more items lay scattered than I’d anticipated.
Among all the Evil Gods I’d defeated so far, the Silver Storm God had dropped the most items.
The Silver Storm God had dropped six “Evil God’s Silver Feathers” alone, not counting the Evil God’s Scripture.
But then,
“Just how many items are there…?”
The items dropped by the Blue Spirit God weren’t just one or two.
Over ten items lay scattered before us.
We gasped in surprise and began examining each item with renewed anticipation.
The first item to check was, naturally,
[ Evil God’s Scripture – Azure Soul Demon Spirit ]
( Non-Tradeable )
Form : Skill Book
Grade : Mythic
Restriction : Those who defeated the Blue Spirit God, All Master
Description : A mana manipulation method modeled after the Blue Spirit God’s mana circulation.
This was it.
The Evil God’s Scripture.
As a comrade who’d conquered this Evil God together, I couldn’t help but check the Item Information alongside them, even knowing this was the Evil God’s Scripture.
“All Master…?”
“That’s my class.”
“Ah, I see. I’d always wondered how you could be proficient in all manner of weapons, skills, and magic, and even have expertise in production-type skills. So that’s how it works.”
“As for the class….”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep it strictly confidential. Anyway, you should take this, Mir. It’s an item only you can use.”
“Thank you.”
I could trust Tae-ryeon.
She promised to keep the secret, and she handed over the Evil God’s Scripture without complaint. I was genuinely grateful.
“Honestly, we have nothing to say. Everyone knows your contribution to this conquest was far greater than ours. We’re fully prepared to concede on item distribution.”
Thanks to that, I was able to accept the Evil God’s Scripture immediately.
The Evil God’s Scripture, Azure Soul Demon Spirit.
Without hesitation, I opened the skill book.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Azure Soul Demon Spirit Lv 1’ by using ‘Evil God’s Scripture’.
The magic was acquired instantly.
Followed by the System Messages that appeared.
[ The skill level of Azure Soul Demon Spirit increases according to the All Master’s magic level. ]
[ Your current All Master magic level is ‘5th Circle User’. ]
[ The skill level rises significantly to match the 5th Circle User. ]
….
A mythic-grade skill that influences magic: Azure Soul Binding.
I was curious about what kind of skill it was, but I’d look into that slowly later.
For now, it was time to check the items the Blue Spirit God had dropped.
Among the numerous items the Blue Spirit God had dropped, the ones that made up the largest quantity were.
None other than.
[ Premium Mana Stones ]
“Premium?”
They were premium mana stones.
Even I had only a few premium mana stones remaining.
Those premium mana stones that were difficult to obtain even in First—there were a full ten of them.
“Good heavens, even the highest-grade mana stones are still being discovered only rarely. Premium ones!”
Of course, the premium mana stones in my subspace had ‘Non-Tradeable’ attached to them, so I used them without hesitation whenever I needed them.
But if they were tradeable, that was a different story.
Premium mana stones of this caliber would definitely fetch an astronomical price even if I just casually listed them at the Auction House.
With ten premium mana stones appearing, my eyes naturally widened.
But what particularly caught my attention was, of course.
[ Mana Stone of the Blue Evil God ]
Form: Mana Stone
Grade: Mythic
This one.
Even premium mana stones were ultimately the finest quality of mana stones, but this Mana Stone of the Blue Evil God was a mana stone with the condensed power of the Blue Spirit God.
It was a mana stone that possessed power beyond premium grade.
You could tell just from the fact that it confidently received a mythic-grade rating despite being a mana stone.
And such Evil God mana stones had.
“Three mythic-grade items….”
Three of them had dropped.
One Evil God’s Robe, ten premium mana stones, and three Mana Stones of the Blue Evil God.
A total of fourteen items had dropped.
Looking at them, I was certainly delighted.
‘Have I just been unlucky until now?’
Suddenly, such a thought occurred to me.
Until now, I had only thought that Evil Gods were stingy with their item drops.
But perhaps I had simply been unfortunate.
After all, when I was in First, my ability to collect all of First’s items wasn’t because I had good luck.
Thinking it over this way, a sigh naturally escaped me.
“The drops turned out better than expected.”
“Really! With this much, we can completely cover the losses from our failed first Evil God conquest. No, we’ll still come out way ahead! Even after splitting the items with Mir!”
Well, good is good.
Thinking so, I nodded.
However, these items weren’t only being eyed by me and Tae-ryeon.
— Ahem, ahem. You do remember your promise to share any items imbued with the Blue Spirit God’s power with me, yes?
The voice of the Blue Moon Knight Commander reached him from somewhere distant, where he observed this place through magic.
