Holy Night
As I immerse my body in the warm water of the hot spring, all the fatigue from before melts away at once.
Bubble bubble-
The water gently caresses my skin.
The grand bathhouse of the Olympus Paradise Inn.
A place so large and beautiful that it makes the name “inn” seem inadequate, even equipped with hot springs.
Sky-blue tiles, a stream of water falling in the center, and thick steam.
It feels like being in Heaven.
“Ahhh… I finally feel like I can live again~”
Ryu Ji-a said with a sigh.
No more dust.
No more hard floors either.
My body melts away in the warm water.
“Five days really was a long time…”
Lee Seo-yeon muttered.
Soaking in the hot spring, the muscle tension releases.
The pain disappears.
It feels like all the hardships from before are flowing away with the water.
Han Su-in was also submerged in the hot spring.
Though her mouth was closed, comfort was evident on her face.
That’s when it happened.
[Experience gained!]
A system notification appeared.
Ryu Ji-a’s eyes opened slightly.
“What are those two guys doing again somewhere!”
Ryu Ji-a rises from the hot spring water.
“Oh my. Ji-a.”
“Eeeeeek! What are they doing! Am I the only one curious?”
Wherever they are, when you form a party, you share experience.
So right now, Kim Jun and Park Min-soo are doing something somewhere again.
Moreover, whenever Kim Jun calls someone out one by one.
Didn’t they always show some kind of new power, added skills, or growth that seemed to instantly raise their level?
“What is it this time!”
Ryu Ji-a thought as she soaked her body in the hot spring water.
Park Min-soo will definitely gain something.
Knowing that made her even more curious.
“Should we have some beer?”
Lee Seo-yeon asked as if to soothe Ryu Ji-a.
“Hmm… should we.”
There’s nothing more to think about anyway.
We’ll find out soon enough.
They enter the rest area of Olympus Paradise.
Soon an inn staff member appeared.
Carrying cold beer glasses.
Glug glug glug-
They pour the beer.
Golden foam bubbles up.
The beer glasses fill up.
The staff member sets them down in front of each person.
“Uuuuuu~ my precious! How long I’ve been waiting for this!”
“Cheers?”
“Cheers!”
They clink their glasses together.
Gulp-
They take a sip.
The moment the ice-cold beer touches their lips.
The carbonation stimulates their tongues.
That refreshing sensation passes down their throats.
That slightly tingling feeling.
The coolness scratching down their throats spreads throughout their entire bodies.
“Kyaaaah! I’m alive again!”
Ryu Ji-a said with a sigh.
Hot spring, beer, rest.
This is Heaven.
Han Su-in also quietly drinks her beer.
Just then.
Creeeeak-
The door opened.
Kim Jun enters first.
Behind him.
“Pfft!”
“Pfft!”
“Pffhaha…!”
Ryu Ji-a and Lee Seo-yeon burst into laughter.
Even Han Su-in raises the corners of her mouth, trying to hold back her laughter.
At the center of it all.
Was Park Min-soo with blonde hair.
Silky hair flowing down past his shoulders.
As if he had poured conditioner all over it.
That light was even sacred.
“D-don’t laugh.”
Park Min-soo said.
“I wondered what you gained, turns out you gained hair, muscle pig!! Pfft!”
Ryu Ji-a said mockingly.
*
“Damn it! Why won’t it cut!”
“Just live with it like that. Why are you trying to cut it?”
“This can’t be happening, this can’t be happening!”
He had already tried long ago.
Kim Jun had even directly wielded his greatsword and struck down.
But Park Min-soo’s flowing hair.
“Aaaahhh! Why won’t it cut!!”
As if it were a gift from the Goddess.
Could not be carelessly cut.
“Just give up and accept it now.”
“I can’t do that.”
The reason Park Min-soo was resisting so much was simple.
His massive body.
His violent muscles.
But contrasting with that, his flowing and lustrous blonde hair.
“I look like a… gay guy…”
“Pfft!”
…Because that’s how he looked.
And even has waves at the tips of his hair.
A visual that anyone would misunderstand.
“Hey, shut up. Just take this.”
“What is it.”
What Kim Jun handed to Park Min-soo was.
A single sword.
—-
[「Judgment Sword Victorius」 Effect Confirmed]
[Grade] : B
[Attack Power] : +25
[Critical Damage] : +15%
[Special Effect] : Holy attribute granted (Additional damage +150% to demons and undead)
[Unique Skills] :

「Light of Purification」: 10% chance to remove debuffs when attacking
—-
“What is this?”
Park Min-soo lifted the sword.
The weight was different.
He could immediately feel that this wasn’t an ordinary sword.
“I don’t need it anymore.”
A holy attribute affinity weapon obtained from the Heavenly Realm.
It was definitely a weapon that would suit Park Min-soo, who had newly awakened as a Holy Knight.
“Come on, pick up the sword.”
“Why.”
“You need to try it out.”
“I don’t want to.”
Park Min-soo, sensing something ominous, tried to turn his head away saying not today.
『Follow me.』
“Ugh, uuugh… this feeling again…!”
Kim Jun summoned Park Min-soo using「Draconic Incantation」.
*
“Try using all the new skills you received.”
“Huuuuu…”
One deep breath.
Then, Park Min-soo’s aura completely changed.
Wooooooong-!
In an instant.
A silhouette that looked like an angel enveloped Park Min-soo with a blessing, then disappeared again.
—-
[Skill Information]
-「Heavenly Blessing」
– Grade : S
– Effect : Attack power of caster and allies increases by [30]% for [60] seconds
– Special : Grants [28]% critical resistance while effect is maintained
—-
But the problem was.
“That buff affected me too?”
“Ah, this is my first time. Hehehe…”
Park Min-soo laughed awkwardly.
It was his first time using a supporter skill, so he hadn’t thought about it.
Park Min-soo withdrew the skill and.
Pat-!
Again.
The light of「Heavenly Blessing」enveloped Park Min-soo.
And.
Chaang-!
With a sound,「Divine Shield」was granted.
A transparent shield-like barrier surrounded Park Min-soo.
It continued after that.
「Divine Law」,「Goddess’s Protection」,「Oath to the Goddess」…
Countless buffs stack layer upon layer.
Park Min-soo’s body fills with sacred light.
“Ready?”
“Uooooooh! I can feel the power surging! Let’s do this!”
Park Min-soo, having finished his full doping, stands up.
Shing-
He grips the「Judgment Sword Victorius」.
And.
Step-
Park Min-soo takes his stance.
He holds the sword at shoulder height and steps forward with his left foot.
His center of gravity leans forward, but the basics are in place.
He pulls his right shoulder back and tenses both arms.
The blade points diagonally.
Both arms gripping the sword with one hand trembled slightly, but soon stabilized.
The angle of his legs, the position of his waist, the angle of his shoulders.
Everything flows together as one.
That stance contained both defensive preparation and offensive intent.
These were fundamentals learned from constantly watching Kim Jun by his side.
Not perfect, but it had taken some form.
‘Not bad?’
Kim Jun evaluated Park Min-soo favorably.
But there was one disappointing aspect.
The massive shield Park Min-soo had been carrying.
It was Park Min-soo’s symbol, used from when they wandered the Gates until now.
But it was too large and heavy to use alongside the「Judgment Sword Victorius」.
The new class of Holy Knight required harmonious use of sword and shield.
“By the way, is it okay without a shield? I heard using a shield and one-handed sword gives additional effects.”
“Later. For now, let’s try it like this.”
“Okay!!”
Anyway, once they enter the 40th Floor, [Olympus].
There’s a one-handed shield that would suit Park Min-soo perfectly.
‘…Though I’ll have to steal it from that perverted god.’
Kim Jun, finishing his internal thoughts.
Swish-
First raises his greatsword.
Thwack-!
And strikes down at Park Min-soo.
“Uuugh!”
The habit of blocking attacks with only a shield must be abandoned.
Though he would obtain one later.
To fully utilize the characteristics of the Hidden Class called Holy Knight.
He must learn to protect through numerous skills and through the sword as well.
So.
“「Yeonje」.”
“Huh? Have you lost your mind?”
The more exhausted the body, the faster the learning.
An absolute and unchanging truth throughout all times and places.
Kim Jun enters「Yeonje」state.
“「Fire Blade」.”
He activates the second skill of「Kaiser’s Legacy」that he newly obtained.
Crackle-!
The air is drying up.
Even breathing becomes difficult.
The fire grows larger and larger.
It becomes massive.
It becomes tremendously massive.
It shoots up toward the sky.
It rises through the clouds.
The clouds melt away.
Unable to withstand the heat, they turn to steam.
It’s visible even from distant Artemis City.
As if fire is piercing through the entire sky.
The height is enormous.
The residents and Hunters of Artemis look up at that fire in the sky.
“What is that?”
“This is the Tower, you idiot. It must be something else.”
That massive fire rising from Kim Jun’s hand, taking the shape of a sword.
That fire.
“Now, try blocking it using every skill you have.”
“Come on, try to block this using every skill you’ve got.”
“Shit, fuck!”
Park Minsu despairs.
Whoooooosh-
Fire from heaven descends.
Toward Park Minsu.
Avoidance was forbidden.
He would use every ability he possessed to withstand this attack.
That was Kim Jun’s order.
‘Damn it, seriously!’
Park Minsu’s mind was in turmoil.
Kim Jun’s wrist was bent at a 15-degree angle.
The fire draws closer and closer.
This moment.
‘What should I do? First, let me check the skills I have…’
Various newly acquired skills float through Park Minsu’s mind.
Protection skills, enhancement skills.
And dozens of skills.
There are too many.
It’s hard to choose.
But.
‘Ah, I don’t know!’
Park Minsu made up his mind.
There was no time to think now.
Dozens of buffs were already activated.
Even if he used a new protective skill, it didn’t seem like it would be able to block that fire.
Creak-
He grips the “Judgment Sword Victorius.”
Gather all your strength in one place.
My muscles are cramping.
My bones are aching.
My blood vessels feel like they’re about to burst.
Even in the midst of this, Kim Jun’s wrist bends a little more toward Park Minsu.
Gulp-
As if resolved.
“「Divine! Ziiip! Haeaeeaeeaeeaeng!」”
Park Min-soo shouted.
He swings his sword upward.
The「Judgment Sword Victorius」covers the sky.
At that moment.
Woooong-
Light begins to bloom from the sword.
It was blue light.
That brilliant light of holy attribute slowly radiates.
As if the sword itself is preparing for a sacred explosion.
Purrrrrr-
The light grows larger and larger.
It wraps around the sword.
And.
Paaaa-!!
A massive blue sword aura shoots up into the sky.
Slowly.
But clearly.
The blue beam of light stretches upward.
And approaches Kim Jun’s red flames.
The two energies face each other with space between them.
The blue sword aura continues to rise.
The red flames continue to descend.
The distance shrinks.
As if heaven and earth will meet.
And.
Pak-
The two forces meet.
Paaaaaaaaa-!!
In an instant, the world stops.
Red flames and blue light collide.
From that point of collision, tremendous energy bursts forth.
Shockwaves spread in all directions.
Peobeobeobeobeobeobeo-!
