chapter 451
451 – Arrangements for Traces
Somehow, after being in the waters of Irmana, I feel like I have become more free to communicate with the system. It actually seems to have that effect.
‘I should come here often.’
– I want ‘Little Skull’ to have a name to complete his career change!
– As the owner of the trail, name it ‘Little Skull’!
‘··· Do you have to have a name to get a job change? Suddenly a name… I wasn’t just watching.’
Giving a name has great meaning.
Although it is an independent entity, it clearly shows that it is strongly connected to me.
– The ‘little skull’ raises its head and looks at the sky.
Looking at the sky means sending a silent message to me.
‘Now that I think about it, the Living Statue was also looking foolishly at the sky. Were they also sending a message to someone somewhere?’
I was lost in other thoughts for a moment, but then I started thinking about what name to give.
Of course, the worries did not last long. Well, I couldn’t think of a great name.
‘It would be better if it were easy to sing. Let’s do it with skulls.’
The moment I decided on the name, I felt like my bones were becoming mushy, and all of my magic was drained out.
The magic power has reached such a low level that the option of the highest level magic circuit is activated.
‘Oh… The head. It was the same with Laney, but giving it a name isn’t really easy.’
– The name ‘Skull’ was given to the ‘little skull’!
– The ‘Skull’ that was given the name bows its head to the ground and pays respect to its creator.
– All of ‘Skull’s’ stats increase by 10!
‘Whoa – I can’t believe it went up that much just by giving it a name. I feel like a real god.’
– ‘Skull’ stands up, nods his head towards the sky several times, and then heads out again.
-‘Skull’wants to quickly test his grown powers.
– After being defeated by ‘Prizcana’, ‘Skull’, who only hunted ‘Blood Mosquito’, set ‘Minescarave’ as his next target.
‘Yes. It’s right to take things step by step.’
I looked at the grown skull with satisfaction and accepted Irmana’s water again.
* * *
An office at the White Knight Guild headquarters.
Jo Gi-man’s alter ego and Jeong Ju-in, Jo Gi-man’s right hand man, were there.
“Jeong Ju-in.”
“··· Yes.”
“What is your level now?”
“If you say it’s at my level…”
“······.”
“··· If you are talking about hunter grade, it is classified as the highest level of A class.”
“Ho…Has it already happened? It’s definitely fast this time.”
“···?”
Jo Ki-man’s alter ego nodded and began to review the documents on the desk again.
“Lee Yeon-hee… Is currently ranked C, but is already evaluated as B.”
“Yes, the association is considering skipping the grade review.”
“What about the guys in the same party?”
“Although not as good as Lee Yeon-hee, all four are special talents who are ranked in the top 0.1%. In particular, Hunter Eun-young Ham has the bloodline of the transcendent ‘Regret’ and needs more attention.”
“I see… Let’s recite about the main summons.”
“B-grade werewolves, orcs, and lizardmen. Drake, who is close to A-grade, a giant golem that Lee Yeon-hee declared to be A-grade, and the last one… Is a skeleton soldier called the ‘ Reaper’.”
“The weakest summons are the strongest… This is interesting.”
Orcs and Lizardmen are the summons raised by Lee Yeon-hee in each episode.
As shown in the data, it has often been possible to grow into a 4-5 meter long variety.
However, other than that, there were many unfamiliar guys, and their grades and abilities were also unusual. Even considering that the composition of summons changed subtly in each episode, the change was too much.
Jeong Joo-in was a little puzzled as he watched her her her alter ego her repeating her her story her her her. Unlike before, she was unfamiliar with her cautious appearance.
“Even considering the faster world, it’s a bit excessive. Hmm…”
A few days ago, the connection with her main body she was lost, which meant that her main body had passed into a dimension ruled by a powerful god.
So I was thinking more carefully about self-immolation.
“I think I just want to kill her. It’s a bit ambiguous for me to judge on my own. Let’s attach someone to Lee Yeon-hee.”
Jo Ki-man’s alter ego began to feel annoyed by Lee Yeon-hee’s growth of her
It was a very useful tile to buy time when the Orc commander arrived, but there was no need to dwell on past scenarios in a world that had already become extremely unstable.
“If you tell me who to assign, I will proceed immediately. However, most of the troops under my command have currently been sent to subdue the [Red-Haired Elves]…”
“Ah, that’s right. ‘Marella’… Because it’s important to punish that red-headed bastard. You arrogant bastard.”
‘Marella’ appeared with the blue-eyed believers in the Lizardman Marsh. This guy was appearing all over the world, causing dungeon breaks and causing chaos.
Now that I think about it, I know that Lee Yeon-hee was present when the red-haired elf appeared.
‘Lee Yeon-hee was also present in Great Monster Debsorpia. Although he is a major character, he has never been involved in something this big.’
The clone nodded his head and opened his mouth again.
“There’s a guy who’s good at [Stealth], Right? Let’s put off the mission related to ‘Heaven’s Hammer’ and catch up with Lee Yeon-hee.
Also, instruct them to bring in every detail of what Yeonhee Lee looks like during the subjugation of the Devouring Creeper.
If I see significant growth compared to what I showed in the competition… I will take care of it myself after reviewing the data.”
“?!”
Jeong Ju-in was a little surprised by the alter ego’s remarks.
This is because he is a guy who always pretended to be Jo Gi-man’s shadow, but he is showing an unprecedented level of proactiveness.
‘I guess that’s how great Lee Yeon-hee’s potential is… Is Lee Yeon-hee up to this point?’
Jo Gi-man’s alter ego.
Although I couldn’t see the extent of this guy’s power in person.
Since I knew about the missions he had done so far, I was able to roughly estimate his strength.
‘A monster among monsters who inherited about 30% of his master’s power.’
If he makes up his mind and moves, no one except Kang Yeon-soo will be able to stop him.
“However, her data must be faithful. If she finds out that I killed her, her body may go on a rampage. It must be data that she can understand.”
“I understand.”
“Go see.”
“Then…”
Joo-in Jeong bowed deeply, responded to Jo Gi-man’s self-immolation of her, and then disappeared straight from her office.
The alter ego staring blankly at the spot he was in.
“But that bastard, Jeongju, is good at his job. He hasn’t regressed, but he knows what to say very well.”
Jeong Joo-in deep down does not acknowledge himself as an alter ego.
I didn’t really like him like that, but I kind of like it now.
“··· How long do you think I will remain as an alter ego…”
He looked at the message floating in the air and showed his unique, wry smile.

“Did you bring it?”
“Yes, this is it.”
Early morning the next day.
The ‘White Coat League’ all gathered at our house, rode ‘Geomryongi’ together, and headed to Ilseom’s headquarters.
Of course, since this is the area where the headquarters of the Ilseom Guild is located, countless barriers were installed.
We avoided it and landed quite a distance away from the gate.
“Ilwol will go by lifting the barriers one by one.”
If you combine magic and senses, such feats are possible.
“Oh…Even the barrier-breaking technique! What on earth do you eat and why are you so talented?”
“The more I look at it, the more fascinating it becomes.”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
I took the lead, and Arin took the last step, standing guard.
The map is drawn in your head, so as long as you don’t make any mistakes, there won’t be any major problems.
And it wasn’t long before we found the guards at the target point.
‘Is there three people this time?’
It didn’t matter how many people there were. If you have this.
[Cymber Room]
– A mysterious material obtained by accidentally discovering the treasure trove of the ‘Blue Mushroom’ race at the Vision Guild.
– In addition to a strong sleep effect, it also has a memory forgetting effect. A person who drinks cymbrum even forgets that he or she has fallen asleep.
Finely ground blue powder is contained in a transparent bottle.
An amazing item that prevents you from even realizing that you are suffering from the status abnormality [Sleep].
When I raised my fist high to signal, my colleagues stood still.
And ten minutes later.
When I, who had run to the front, returned and made a gesture, my colleagues moved again.
Cool- Cool-
Three hunters in a deep sleep.
They were all snoring peacefully, surrounded by a space of soft blue light.
“I don’t know if these people know that they are in danger of death.”
“Because we have a map, we came all the way here. Normally, not even a single ant baby would be able to get close to us. It’s worth letting down our guard.”
We nudged them aside and threw ourselves towards the bright red gate.
*
“Wow—the air is so fresh. “I feel like my stomach is full.”
“Really. But everything here is also huge.”
– You have entered the ‘Origin of the Parasitic Kinship’ dungeon.
– This is the period when the red moon rises. All abilities decrease by 20%.
“Huh?! Are you crazy? They’re giving me a 20% nerf!”
“Ugh…My body suddenly became heavy.”
“Azraelon are you okay?”
(Hmph, I can barely make a fuss like this.)
Colleagues whose abilities had significantly dropped their refreshing expressions and suddenly appeared nervous.
Azrael Ron said it as if it was nothing, but it fell down on Eunyoung’s shoulder like melted cheese.
“Ilwol’s detection range has already started to detect ‘Blood Mosquito’.”
“Hahang – I’m going to fly anyway, so it doesn’t matter, right?”
“Yes, yes, I want to look around, but I don’t have time. Let’s stop by the temple first and then go outside. To find the location, just follow the map Ilwol got.”
“Yes! Then shall we go?”
“Geomryong, please give us a ride again.”
Yeonhee summoned Shadow Drake, and we rode Geomryongi and headed straight to the temple.
– Kyaa!!
“Wow! It’s so big?!”
While flying, we encountered a flock of birds as large as pterodactyls, but they only made loud noises and showed no hostility towards us.
Seokgeuk-
I killed one of them without my colleagues knowing, but it wasn’t a creature that was considered a monster.
[Krrrr···.]
Geomryong, who felt uncomfortable because he seemed to only be playing the role of a vehicle, dropped us off near the temple and immediately took off into the sky.
If you relieve your stress by having fun flying for a few minutes, you’ll feel better, so Yeonhee said let’s wait for a while.
“But there’s nothing here, is it an invisible dungeon?”
“That’s right. But something definitely exists.”
While my colleagues were chatting and looking around, I was looking for traces of other beings.
‘As expected, there is no skull. It must have already gone deep into the center, right?’
My second trace, and the first trace given a name, ‘Skull’.
I easily found traces of the guy’s movements and stuck the great sword I used before right in front of the entrance to the temple.
—-
Unknown Cardinite Greatsword
– This is the work of a blacksmith who has not yet achieved fame. The combination of rare materials and budding talent resulted in a greatsword that boasts much higher performance compared to its magic stone grade.
– Attack power: 68
– Durability: 1050/1050
– Number of reinforcements: 2/2
—-
A great sword that has been strengthened with low-grade reinforcement stones and has full durability.
I don’t know if he can use it properly, but I’ll have to make arrangements just in case.
I also kept a few daggers made of bone in case it was too big to handle.
My colleagues tilted their heads as they saw me suddenly placing the neatly weaponly on the floor, but they seemed to be reasonably convinced by Yeonhee’s statement that it was like a ritual to enter a hidden dungeon.
‘This is all I can do. If I were alone, I would have gone to see him, but there was nothing I could do.’
Wishing good luck to the ‘Skull’ somewhere in this dungeon, I reached out to the border of the temple.
