Chapter 422
Chapter 422
“This time you won’t be able to hold out! No matter how skilled you are, you can’t deploy large-scale magic like that consecutively!”
Kant poured all of his Gold into the Golden Altar.
From what I could tell, it was roughly double the amount he’d poured in before?
No, it was more than double.
Even if he’d obtained it through real-world transactions, that much Gold would have required a substantial investment of actual money.
Being called “young master” and all, he seemed to be a player with considerable wealth in reality.
Well, regardless.
“Kant! Oh no, this really won’t do. If you spend all of that….”
Judging by the reaction of the user trying to stop Kant, this wasn’t light money for him either.
As if to prove it.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The Golden Platform began to vibrate.
Even when hundreds of Golden Goblins appeared and filled the Golden Platform, it hadn’t trembled like this.
Yet the Golden Platform was trembling now.
Well, it was a natural result.
Previously, the Golden Platform had been completely filled with Golden Goblins without a single empty space.
This time, Golden Goblins had formed a tower.
In that sense, what appeared now wasn’t a Golden Goblin.
“Roooaaarrr!”
A massive monster letting out a ferocious roar.
A Golden Troll.
It too was made of gold, but at first glance, it looked incomparably more powerful than mere goblins.
‘The experience points must be incomparable to Golden Goblins too.’
Its power wasn’t just in strength.
The experience points were enormous.
Considering the Gold consumed, far more than fighting goblins.
Right now, the user Kant had his anger management issues flare up and summoned the Golden Troll for me.
Even without Kant, I would have summoned a monster at least as powerful as the Golden Troll.
That was precisely the method to extract the greatest efficiency from the Golden Altar.
“Yeah, look how much I poured in! Something like that should come out!”
I heard Kant’s cheer.
Did he even realize what he’d just done?
He’d be shocked if he understood how much Gold he’d wasted.
Even if I died here, the Gold wouldn’t be returned to him anyway.
“Kahahaha! Go, Golden Troll! Tear that bastard to shreds!”
Kant gave orders to the troll as if he were a monster tamer.
Of course, that didn’t mean the Golden Troll would obey Kant’s commands.
“Roooaaarrr!”
The timing was perfect.
The Golden Trolls.
No, the Golden Trolls roared and charged at me.
That wasn’t all.
The number of Golden Goblins remained considerable.
I was surrounded by monsters on all sides.
Certainly, with the Golden Trolls joining in, it would become difficult to cast spells like before.
But I was no longer the person I used to be.
In the past, my only option would have been to draw out a Mythic-tier item related to fire attributes and wield it.
Now, I had one more method available.
– Activating the skill ‘Spirit Summoning’.
Spirit Summoning.
The Spirit Realm had many kings contracted with me, and among them, the one I called forth was.
– Did I call them?
Ifrit, the Fire Spirit King.
Because of that.
“I’m counting on you.”
– It’s a contract, after all.
I immediately borrowed her power.
In that moment, the dimensional gate that had shimmered in various colors turned a brilliant crimson.
Whoosh!
Flames began pouring out.
There was none of the spectacular display that occurred when the Demonic Beast King swung its claws or when the Divine Sword descended upon my weapon.
Simply, flames poured out.
That was all.
However.
Roooaaarrr!!
The momentum of those flames exceeded imagination.
The flames erupting from the dimensional gate swelled in size in an instant, filling the entire Golden Platform.
Naturally.
“Kryaaaaaahhh!”
Both the Golden Goblins and the Golden Trolls began melting, unable to withstand it.
Since trolls were famous for their powerful regeneration, the Golden Trolls too attempted to recover their melting bodies bit by bit.
“Gaaahhh! Gaaaaaahhh!”
But their powerful regeneration only delivered hell to the Golden Trolls.
The regenerating flesh melted away again, accompanied by excruciating pain.
Fortunately, the rate of melting was faster than the rate of regeneration.
Drip.
The Golden Trolls didn’t have to endure their agony for long before their lives ended.
Well, truthfully, these weren’t proper living creatures anyway—they were merely monsters shaped from Gold.
In any case, as the golden trolls fell.
[ Your level has increased. ]
My level rose again, making the level gain from just moments before seem insignificant.
Certainty crystallized within me.
At this rate, I could easily break into the top 100 within a week.
With that conviction, I trampled over the melted golden trolls and goblins, advancing toward the Golden Altar.
“Eek!”
The user standing atop the Golden Altar.
Kant, seized by fear, attempted to retreat but his legs tangled beneath him, and he fell hard on his backside.
He hadn’t realized I’d grown this powerful.
It was somewhat irritating that he’d been cursing me with the intent to kill, but.
“Thank you.”
He was the one who’d spent an enormous fortune on my behalf.
I decided not to seek revenge.
Well, if he poured more Gold into me again this time, swearing he’d kill me for certain, I’d be grateful.
“Eeeeeek!”
“Young master! No, Lord Kant!”
Watching him flee in terror, it seemed unlikely he would.
Though it was a shame, thanks to this user Kant, I’d managed to save considerable funds.
And now it was my turn to consume Gold directly.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Following my predetermined plan, I began pouring Gold onto the Golden Altar.
The amount exceeded what Kant had just consumed.
Because of that, the trembling of the Golden Platform intensified further.
Just as I’d anticipated.
“Roooooaaaaaarrr!!”
The golden goblins and golden trolls.
And stronger than them, the Golden Altar’s supreme monster.
In other words, the monster that provided the most experience points at the Golden Altar.
The golden ogre appeared and unleashed a roar.
* * *
The golden ogre was a more formidable monster than I’d anticipated.
Apart from its weakness to fire attribute, it possessed no physical vulnerabilities, and its strength became absurdly overwhelming upon this Golden Platform.
Still, it was no match for me.
– You use the 7th Circle fire magic ‘Flare’.
The focused 7th Circle fire magic, Flare.
As the scorching flames erupted, the golden ogre’s abdomen melted away, leaving a massive cavity.
No other weaknesses?
It didn’t matter.
I possessed countless methods to exploit its sole weakness—the fire attribute.
“Krraaaaaaagh!”
The golden ogre, its abdomen melting away, lunged toward me.
Any ordinary living creature would have collapsed long ago.
But the ogre crafted from Gold was less a living being and more akin to a golem—an inanimate construct.
As such, toward the creature charging at me without regard for the gaping wound in its belly,
[ Phoenix Feather Spear, Flamea ]
( Non-Tradeable )
Form : Spear
Grade : Mythic
Restriction : Level 600 or higher, Spear Mastery Lv 60 or higher
Description : Flamea, the legendary weapon said to be forged from the feathers and talons of the Phoenix.
A mythic-grade fire-attribute weapon.
– Activating the skill ‘Dark Insect Flash’.
I thrust it forward with all my might.
Despite its nimbleness, with a hole torn through its abdomen, the creature couldn’t evade my attack.
Thunk!
My spear pierced directly into the ogre’s head.
Scorching flames erupting from the spear’s tip melted away the golden ogre’s skull.
Crash.
Even a golden ogre couldn’t withstand such a wound.
Though a monster with formidable strength was threatening, its straightforward attack patterns couldn’t land a blow on me.
After clearing enemies in this manner,
[ Your level has increased. ]
I could level up swiftly.
I didn’t stop there and continued felling monsters.
As I did so,
“It seems to be consuming more than I expected.”
The Gold I’d brought was being depleted rapidly.
Though I’d sold Gold and items through direct transactions and kept a generous reserve for game progression,
Between the money flowing in through the Dwarf, the items I obtained from running Dungeons myself, and the Gold earned from selling items crafted from those materials—it was an enormous sum.
But summoning the golden ogre meant even this Gold was insufficient to sustain.
“This amount falls far short.”
I needed more Gold.
At this moment, I had two options.
One was to conduct another direct transaction and purchase Second’s Gold with real-world money.
The second option was,
“Ena?”
– Yes, Mir. What do you need?
Just as I’d mentioned to Ena before,
“Would it be possible to borrow some Gold from you?”
It was shameless, but I was borrowing funds from my Territory.
Or rather, to be precise, it wasn’t borrowing so much as simply receiving it.
Though I chose my words carefully.
– Finally, you need Gold? I’ve been wondering when you’d ask.
Fortunately, Ena readily accepted my request.
– How much do you need? I can prepare as much as you want. The amount of Gold currently stockpiled in the Territory alone is enormous.
“I need as much as possible.”
– Pardon? Yes, I can give you a lot. But how much exactly do you need?
“Literally as much as possible. It’s a place where spending never ends.”
– Hmm, could you tell me exactly what situation you’re in? I think I need to understand the circumstances before I can calculate the amount.
I heard the perplexity in Ena’s voice.
Well, my situation was hardly normal.
Her confusion was only natural.
For her sake, I explained my current circumstances in detail.
I had to rank within the top 100 within a week to qualify for the World Tournament.
And to do that, I’d come to the Golden Altar and was spending Gold like a madman.
– Are you planning to do spot trades as well?
“Yes. For now, I’m trying to accumulate as much as I can.”
After I laid out my entire situation like that,
– I see. I understand perfectly.
“How much can you provide?”
– As I said, the Kalbera Territory’s funds are overflowing. However, hearing your plan, Mir….
Somehow,
– it might be interesting to use your situation to shake up the market economy a bit, don’t you think?
Across the distance, I could almost feel Ena’s smile.
