Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 406

[The roots have succeeded in digesting Fragment Ⅲ of the Origin

-The roots grow slightly, and its growth threshold increases significantly.

-Part of the fragment of the source absorbed by the roots also affects the owner of the root to some extent.

: All stat points increase by 3000.]

[You currently have Mutual Growth.

-The fragment of the source exists outside the limits of Mutual Growth.

-In addition to strength, agility, and intellect, stamina and willpower are also increased by 3000 each without the limits of Mutual Growth.]

[The roots that have absorbed the fragment of the source also have the ‘Ancient Monster Summoning Energy'. .

: Monster assimilation – inactive state.

: Monster imprint – Active status.

: Monster type recognition buff – Inactive state.

: Monster command buff – inactive.

-The effect of monster imprint in the active state has greatly increased.

: The maximum number of monster traits that you can possess has increased from 3 to 5.

: The 30-day cooldown required to change the trait in active status has been deleted. (You can immediately change to the trait you want without any restrictions.)

: The options provided by the monster traits increase by an additional 50%.]

“…”

A few messages rang in a row in an instant. Of course, I could understand what those messages meant because they were not confusing or difficult.

But I had no choice but to stare blankly at the messages because I had never thought I would receive such rewards, or that the rewards would be so huge.

In particular, I was impressed by an increase in all stat points by 3000, including even stamina and willpower that would have been blocked by Mutual Growth.

It was literally 15,000. In addition, the monster traits that I could keep increased to five from three, and the 30-day cooldown also disappeared.

This alone was a huge benefit for me. As a matter of fact, I wished only a minute ago that I could replace my current monster trait with something else right away.

Then the options provided by the mostner traits would increase by an additional 50%.

In other words, if I applied this reward to Titan, my stamina and physical strength would increase by 4500, not by 3000, and my damage would be reduced by 15%, not by 10%.

“Wow…”

I had no choice but to sigh in admiration, and the origin of all this was none other than the Fragment III of the Origin.

I thought I knew what it was. It was the black mass the size of a fingernail, which was blacker than the black liquid man, so it could be described as the essence of black liquid. I had no doubt about it. In fact, I witnessed the White Root devouring it right before my eyes.

“So did I get a windfall then?”

Of course, I had no intention of eating it. No, I would never eat it even if I was asked to because I might get into trouble if I ate something strange.

But the White Root ate it on behalf of me.

Of course, I didn't pretend not to have noticed it when the White Root ate it. Since the White Root devoured it even without my direction, I let out a hearty laugh in appreciation.

“Hahaha!”

I laughed loudly for a long time since there was nobody around me anyway.

Obviously, even if I had the same 135% reality actualization rate as others, I could mobilize more power because I was stronger than them within the ‘Revival Legend', which served as the baseline for calculating that percentage.

Moreover, the increase in my reality actualization rate this time was greatly helpful to me since I could not exchange coins anymore.

So I called the White Root with a very friendly voice.

“Root~ Root~”

[…]

The White Root didn't appear, as expected.

But I didn't care anyway because it had never appeared before, and it always helped me when I was in a dangerous situation.

I knew that the White Root sometimes crawled out of the underground and stole a glance at the ground that I just stepped on, as if a fan feverishly looking at his or her idol.

Anyway, I was deeply touched by the service of the White Root, so I immediately opened my mouth.

“Replace monster imprint. Ancient spirit.

[You have replaced your monster imprint from the active trait Titan to the Ancient Spirit. -The options that you obtained by activating the previous Titan trait has disappeared, and been replaced by the options of the Ancient Spirit trait.

-You can replace it with other traits without any restrictions in the future.

-You have an enhanced monster imprint. (An additional 50% increase.)

: Intellect increases by (4000) -> 6000.

: Willpower increases by (2000) -> 3000.

: All ice-type skill damage increases (5%) -> 7.5%]

After checking the message, I moved left and right as if to relax my neck muscles.

Obviously, I had more AOE skills than single-target skills, and I enjoyed herd hunting a lot, so I was itching to start hunting.

So I herded the monsters using Blink with zero cooldown and opened my mouth.

“Blizzard!”

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

Flop!

Flop!

The monsters collapsed without even screaming.

Even though there was no change in my items or levels like before, I could use much more power this time.

My intellect increased by a tremendous 6000, and my ice-type skill damage increased by a whopping 7.5% thanks to the activation of the blue ancient spirit that enjoyed a 50% increase. I also received an increase in Intellect by 3000 as a result of an increase in all stats by 3000 thanks to root devouring the Fragment Ⅲ of the Origin..

So I was grateful to the black liquid man because he wasn't killed in vain, after all.

Of course, the White Root ate it up.

Anyway, I kept herding the monsters for hunting on that day as if I wanted to make up for what I had missed for some time.

Then a pleasing message rang.

[You have leveled up.]

The next day.

“Let me proceed with the quest.”

I received a quest from the Sayens Guild of Argentina in return for killing the black liquid man. I could have done it early on, but I delayed it for sometime because there was no deadline for the quest. What's more, if I hunted other monsters while proceeding with the quest, the trait of the blue ancient spirits that I had accumulated until then would be reset. So I had no other choice but to put it off until now.

But yesterday I finished imprinting monster traits, so I decided to proceed with this quest as I didn't have to delay it any longer.

[You have chosen to proceed with the quest, ‘Destroy the Crystal Tower.'

-Would you like to go to the mysterious dungeon of the great wizard and architect, Zerodi?]

“Move.”

As soon as I said it, I felt as if my body was being dragged somewhere, and soon a huge cave appeared in front of me along with a message.

[The great wizard and architect, Zerodi, used all his powers to create a maze-like structure in his late years. And he awaits those who are challenged to break his great masterpiece.

– Break the Crystal Tower and move on to the next level.

: This quest can be challenged up to 5 times.

: After 5 challenges, the person who achieves the highest record will be rewarded.

: There is no death penalty if you die during this quest.]

[Status board.

1. Pellerano: 17 rounds.

2. Pellerano: 15 rounds.

3. Pellerano: 14 rounds.

4. Pellerano: 9 rounds.

5. No records. Challenge possible.]

Pellerano is the Argentine Sayens Guild leader's name. He said he challenged the quest four times before the black liquid man, or more precisely, the black liquid, appeared. And now he has only one last chance to challenge the quest.

But he gave me the chance instead of challenging it by himself, along with the documents that recorded the results of his challenge.
