Chapter 321
Chapter 321
The moment Mir’s summons fell.
“The Guild Master has arrived!”
“How long has it been?”
“It’s been quite a while since we defeated the Evil God in the Desert, hasn’t it?”
“It’s only been a few weeks anyway.”
“A few weeks is a long time!”
The Heukryeom Guild members were in an uproar.
It was partly because Mir had visited after such a long time, but the real question was.
“Why did he call us?”
“Could it be that he’s found another Evil God?”
“No way. How long has it been since we defeated that monster?”
“After we defeated that eagle Evil God last time, it wasn’t long before we went to the Desert, remember?”
“That’s true.”
The question was why Mir had summoned the guild members.
This was an incredibly important matter.
Based on what they knew of Mir’s personality, he wasn’t the type to call guild members together for trivial reasons.
Various speculations arose from this.
Among them, the most compelling—or rather, the speculation that excited the guild members the most—was naturally.
“Could it be that he’s giving us rewards again this time?”
“Rewards? No way. How long has it been since we received the last reward?”
“Still! He gave us rewards not long after we defeated the Evil God back then!”
“That’s true, isn’t it…?”
“It could happen this time too! We defeated an Evil God after all!”
“Don’t get your hopes up too high. We already received bonuses that were incredibly generous, right? Honestly, just this alone puts us above the Major Guilds.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“Since you’re new to the guild, you might not know, but other guilds don’t give bonuses like this. Our Guild Master is remarkable for giving us additional rewards on top of that.”
“Haha, I was being too greedy.”
“…But honestly, I’m still looking forward to it.”
“Hey!”
It was about rewards.
After defeating the Silver Storm God previously, Mir had given rewards to all guild members.
Were those ordinary rewards?
To Kang Ju-hyuk and Yul-ha, he had given Mythic-grade accessories.
To team leaders, he had given Legendary-grade accessories.
And to those below, he had distributed accessories with incredibly excellent performance.
So there was no way expectations wouldn’t rise this time.
“Wow, everyone’s levels have risen so much.”
“I heard Team 2’s growth rate lately has been insane.”
“The Vice Guild Master’s team?”
“Yes, they’re working incredibly hard to catch up to Yul-ha’s first team. The team members are cooperative too.”
“The fourth team is no joke either? There’s barely any level difference between them and the third team.”
“Everyone’s putting in serious effort.”
“We need to work harder too!”
The Heukryeom Guild members began gathering.
After the brief rest period following the defeat of the Evil God, we hadn’t all been together since everyone was hunting in team units.
This was the first time we’d all gathered like this since the Evil God hunt.
Because of that, there were many changes.
Everyone’s equipment seemed different, and their levels had risen considerably.
In just a few weeks, everyone appeared to have grown to a completely different level than before the Evil God hunt.
All the guild members watching this could only hope they appeared the same way to others’ eyes.
In the meantime.
“It’s been a while, everyone.”
“Guild Master! You’ve arrived!”
Mir appeared on the platform.
A face I hadn’t seen in a while.
I had hoped that as much as we’d grown, we’d narrowed the gap with Mir even slightly, but why was it?
The Mir visible on the platform looked far stronger than before.
Far beyond our growth rate.
“I remember the situation being similar last time, and I apologize for leaving again right after defeating the Evil God. Something came up that I needed to handle in the Desert.”
“It’s fine!”
Mir’s expression appeared serene.
There was no atmosphere suggesting an Evil God raid announcement.
Was that why?
The guild members couldn’t help but harbor expectations.
A situation similar to last time.
Then could it really be that Mir was planning to give them rewards for the Evil God hunt?
And their expectations soon became reality.
“As an apology, I’ve prepared small gifts for all of you who worked so hard.”
“Ooooh!”
“Gifts?!”
“Thank you so much!”
Mir’s award ceremony had begun.
“First, Vice Guild Master.”
“Ah, I knew I could count on you, Mir!”
Kang Ju-hyuk was the first to step forward.
And the first thing he received was.
“A Spirit Elixir?”
“Drink it. It’s good stuff.”
“Ha! Of course not! Why would something you gave me be anything less than excellent?”
It was a spirit elixir.
With everyone’s eyes fixed upon him.
Kang Ju-hyuk didn’t hesitate—he drank the spirit elixir right then and there.
In that instant.
Whoooosh!
The power contained within the elixir seeped into Kang Ju-hyuk, and his strength surged dramatically.
Visibly so, thanks to the effect.
“Whoa! This is no joke!”
“How is it?”
“How is it?! It’s incredible!”
And this was merely the beginning.
After Kang Ju-hyuk came Sword God Yul-ha.
Then the team leaders.
In that order, I began distributing spirit elixirs to all my guild members.
* * *
At the Cheongwol Workshop, where I was processing the items I’d obtained from the Desert alongside the Knight Commander, Owen, and even Jorn, the master artifact craftsman.
“These spirit mana stones feel far purer than ordinary mana stones.”
“Hmm, I see.”
“With mana this pure, I believe we could extract and refine it separately.”
“Oh, if refinement is possible, couldn’t we create spirit elixirs from it?”
“Spirit elixirs, you say?”
“Yes! In fact, most spirit elixir ingredients contain pure mana, so it might just be possible!”
“However, since this would require experimentation, we may consume quite a bit of materials….”
“That’s fine.”
“Thank you!”
Perhaps it was because experts from each field had gathered.
A brilliant idea emerged.
The Sun mana stone, the Desert mana stone, the Wrath mana stone, and so on.
We would create spirit elixirs from the spirit stones obtained by defeating the subordinate spirits of the Blue Spirit God.
Of course, the trial and error was considerable.
Creating spirit elixirs from mana stones was normally impossible.
However, the mana stones obtained from defeating spirits contained the very essence of the spirits’ power—what could be called ‘attribute’ itself rather than mere mana.
And thanks to that, we ultimately.
[ Refined Solar Spirit’s Spirit Essence ]
succeeded in refining the mana stone’s essence.
[ Solar Spirit’s Quintessence ]
“Success!”
“Wow, a spirit elixir created from spirit mana stones!”
“While the efficiency isn’t particularly high, the success itself is an extraordinary discovery!”
“Most spirit elixirs can only absorb one type, but with this method, I can consume all the spirit stones as if they were elixirs.”
After that, I succeeded in turning them into elixirs.
With that accomplished, we began refining all the spirit demon stones I had brought and converting them into elixirs.
First, the elixir created from all types of spirit demon stones was:
[ Rainbow Spirit Essence ]
( Non-tradeable )
Form: Elixir
Grade: Legendary
I drank it first.
This elixir, crafted from one of each type of spirit demon stone I had obtained, was:
[ You have consumed ‘Rainbow Spirit Essence’. ]
[ Fire attribute affinity increases significantly. ]
[ Water attribute affinity increases significantly. ]
….
Befitting an elixir made from spirit stones, it greatly elevated my affinity with each attribute.
But that wasn’t all.
Among the spirit stones were unusual varieties like the ‘Wrath Demon Stone’ and ‘Flow Demon Stone’—not the typical four basic attributes.
Thanks to that, I was able to increase all my stats and additional abilities.
Afterward, I distributed one Rainbow Spirit Essence each to the Knight Commander, Owen, and Jorn, who had labored alongside me.
“Due to insufficient spirit stone materials, I believe ‘Rainbow Spirit Essence’ has reached its limit here.”
So only two Rainbow Spirit Essences remained.
Since each required one of every spirit stone, it was natural that I couldn’t produce many.
After that, I continued attempting various procedures with them.
As a result, I succeeded in creating elixirs to distribute to all my guild members, one each.
First, the two remaining Rainbow Spirit Essences I had were naturally:
“Yul-ha.”
“Really? You’re giving this to me? A legendary-grade elixir… something so precious…”
“I apologize for only being able to provide this.”
“No, don’t apologize! I’ll drink it gratefully!”
Given to Kang Ju-hyuk and Yul-ha.
Both of them had earned the greatest merits in this Blue Spirit God conquest.
Of course, this wasn’t everything.
“Lagia.”
“Yes, yes!”
I also bestowed elixirs upon the team leaders.
Not the legendary-grade Rainbow Spirit Essence, but epic-grade elixirs crafted by combining a considerable number of spirit essences.
Five-Color Spirit Essence.
“E-epic-grade elixir! Thank you so much!”
With sufficient quantities available, I awarded Five-Color Spirit Essence not only to the team leaders but also to those who had shown particularly outstanding performance in this battle.
I wasn’t speaking only of combat personnel.
I generously distributed elixirs to the Production Guild members, including Lee Chul-geun.
Of course, since I didn’t have enough to give to everyone, I settled for distributing “Tri-Color Spirit Essence” to the other guild members.
Tri-Color Spirit Essence was a Unique-grade elixir, but what did that matter?
In a situation where even Hero-grade elixirs were treated as precious, a Unique-grade elixir alone was an extraordinarily expensive item.
When I distributed such elixirs.
“Kyaaaah! Thank you so much, Mir!”
“I will dedicate myself to your service!”
“Please command us to do anything!”
“An Epic-grade elixir!”
The guild members’ cheers filled the building.
* * *
Before long, the Heukryeom Guild had risen to become one of Korea’s Major Guilds.
No, one of the six Major Guilds.
Moreover, thanks to the added prestige of being the core guild of the Kalbera Territory, the most popular city in recent times, the Heukryeom Guild’s popularity was considerable.
As such, among the Heukryeom Guild members, there were those who leveraged this popularity to engage in activities on platforms like NewTube and InStar.
One day, a new post appeared on their social media.
[ An Epic-grade Elixir for Me, Who Worked Hard Today ]
The post, with its embarrassingly cheesy title, contained a photo of the author drinking an elixir.
Moreover, information about the elixir was written below it, and those who saw this couldn’t help but be startled.
– An Epic-grade elixir?
– Is this real?
– What is that? I’ve never seen an elixir like that before.
– No such elixir exists. It’s photoshopped.
– But would they really post an obviously fake photo?
An Epic-grade elixir, no less.
Where on earth did they obtain an Epic-grade elixir, something so difficult to acquire that there are no listings even if you try to buy it with money?
While comments expressing disbelief dominated.
[ An Exclusive Heukryeom Guild Bonus: A Legendary-grade Elixir! ]
[ An elixir personally crafted by our Guild Master. ]
[ A Legendary-grade Elixir Following Mythic-grade Accessories—Is This True? ]
Various pieces of evidence began to emerge.
The Heukryeom Guild members actually verified that this was true, and it was revealed that Yul-ha and Kang Ju-hyuk had received not Epic-grade but Legendary-grade elixirs.
So people couldn’t help but be astonished.
It would be shocking enough to distribute Epic-grade elixirs, but Legendary-grade elixirs?
How did they even obtain elixirs that are so scarce they can’t be found, and how could they distribute such expensive and precious elixirs as rewards to guild members?
It was unthinkable.
Even the wealthy Royal Guild doesn’t distribute items to its members so generously.
As such, when this fact became known, among the people.
– Honestly, they’re incomparable to the other Major Guilds, aren’t they?
– The average level of the Heukryeom Guild is rising incredibly fast right now too.
– At this point, calling them one of the Major Guilds is an understatement.
– In terms of benefits, Heukryeom seems to be unmatched lol
– It’s not just about benefits. They’re basically monopolizing the Second main scenario too
– The Taegeuk Guild Master did get a noble title recently, but it’s just a sub-marquis rank, right? Only Heukryeom Guild actually owns territory.
– Major Guilds is underselling it. Heukryeom Guild is simply the best
– Yeah, Heukryeom dropping to the strongest and maintaining a Five Guilds system makes sense lol
The number of people speaking highly of Heukryeom Guild continued to grow.
