Chapter 540: Getting a New Spirit 6

There definitely were minor faults in the Kailan too.

However, the quest associated with the main episode would never happen out of mistake.

In other words, every event and every situation had a definite relationship between them.

And of course, there was a reason as to why the hidden quest had occurred only for Ian.

‘Well, Kailan surely doesn’t have any useless catch items in it.’

An item which was in the size of a child’s fist was on the table.

It was an item called as the ‘Paillette relic’—which had dropped after Ian had killed the Guardian Machine.

And it was an unknowable item for Ian, but the ‘Paillette relic’ was not an item that could be obtained so easily.

It was an item that had been designed to drop for only the most contributing user of the party that would kill the Guardian Machine.

The guardian Syarlon was carefully looking at the piece that Ian had placed on the table, and Ian was looking at the figure of him.

‘What kind of quest is going to…’

As the system message had already stated that a hidden quest had been triggered, it was certain that a hidden quest was going to be created.

Ian’s concern was of, what kind of rewards would that quest generate.

While Ian was trying to think of plausible rewards, Syarlon who was observing the piece of item on the table, opened his mouth after careful thought.

“This thing… how did you get it?”

“I got it from the Guardian Machine in the Abyss Valley, the Gorge of Blast.”

Letting the answer sink in, Syalron opened his mouth once again with a much more serious tone.

“Khuem, did you by any chance kill that one?”

“Yeah, I did.”

“It wouldn’t have been so easy to deal with that thing…”

Ian was turning rather puzzled.

Ian thought that it was just natural for the Machine to be killed for the purpose of the Abyss Valley to be cleansed.

And now Syalron was seemingly surprised at the fact that the guardian machine had been killed.

Which made it seem like the Abyss Valley purged and killed the Guardian Machine were two different things, which made it weird.

Ian whose curiosity had been triggred turned to the direction of the old man and asked.

“Was there a way to cleanse the Abyss Valley without killing him?”

“Well, killing him off is the best way to do it, but there were other ways that could be approached too.”

“Then, what were they?”

“While the altar purifies the valley, time had to be passed or he has to be kept occupied so that he just doesn’t approach the altar.”

“Aha.”

Syarlon picked up the piece of iron which had been on the table and pointed at the marble that was in his other hand.

Woong- woong-!

With an intense resonating sound, the greyish-white hue which was around the bead started to sway away.

Syalron continued to talk.

“It is really hard to believe, but this item is very real.”

“Obviously.”

In addition, the voice of the man was shaking a little.

“I’m very sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn’t know that you were a hero.”

As soon as he finished, a familiar sound rang.

Tring-!

[The ‘Guardian Bondage’ has been laxed.]

[Syarlon has broke the bondage.]

[Increases the affinity with Guardian ‘Syarlon’ by 10.]

And then came in the reward message for the quest of ‘Into the Blast’.

[You have successfully completed the quest ‘Into the Blast (Epic) (Hidden)’!]

[Gained transcendence experience of 1,050.]

[Special conditions have been met.]

[The Clearing tier goes up one level.]

[Clear Grade: SS+]

[You have cleared with S or higher.]

[Gained 100 spirit magic (transcendence).]

[Gained Summon Magic of 70 (transcendence).]

[You have earned the title ‘The Watcher of Abyss (Legendary)’.]

Seeing those messages, Ian’s mouth unknowingly displayed a smile.

The spirit and summon magic was indeed great rewards, especially it was because he had received more than 1000 experience.

And that 1000 experience of transcendence, wouldn’t have been possible for Ian even if he had hunted the whole day.

Moreover, the rewards didn’t end there.

[Obtained the item ‘Ancient Spirit Summon Magic’ item.]

[Obtained the item ‘Advanced Fire elemental crystals’.]

[You have earned ‘Medium nature marble’ item.]

Ian’s eyes which had just confirmed the messages went wide.

* * *

“Chesk, why didn’t Muel join?”

“Don’t know. Looks like there was a work in the guild. They were lacking in Healers to hit the Dark Abyss.”

“Hmm, it could have been.”

“By the way, Ralph.”

“Huh?”

“Is it possible to clear it, this time?”

“Don’t worry Chesk. The power and strength are different from the last time.”

“Well if you say so.”

At the end of the Windy Plains.

Abyss Valley access road, a group of people were lined up.

They were the US server rankers, who were being led by Chesk and Ralph.

Ralph and the three others failed in the last moment of ‘In the blast’ quest, unlike the party of Ian.

In the end, the altar that was purifying the valley had stopped and so they escaped from the dungeon.

Of course, if they knew that Ian and his party would kill the Guardian machine, they wouldn’t have escaped from there.

And they would have cleared the quest.

But the people below Ralph who had been under the impression that Ian’s power was below theirs, couldn’t find such a mind of working together.

They had been thinking that Ian and the others had been wiped out and that they decided to pursue the quest at latter time.

So Ralph’s party came back to the Abyss Valley with full preparations.

Abandoning their desire to take in the content, they created a pool party of more than ten members.

But as they entered the Abyss Valley, they were feeling that something was weird.

“Ralph hyung, Chesk hyung.”

“What is it, Inisco?”

“Isn’t this a bit strange?”

“What is?”

“This is so different from the last time, right? The map looks very bright and the structure is different too.”

“…!”

“On top of that, we didn’t see any contaminated spirits right?”

Ralph and Chesk who entered the Abyss Valley without any thoughts started to look around after the words of Insico.

And their faces went hard.

“What is this? Inisco is right?”

“Don’t tell… me. Did the other ones cleared the quest in the meantime?”

“Ahe, no way…!”

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ralph’s party began to speed up and entered the valley much faster.

And at the moment, they reached the Gorge of Blast…

“Ha…”

“Sh*t.”

“Dammit…!”

At the same time, all three of them cursed under their breaths out of despair.

It was because bright lights were coming from the altar, which had been previously blocked by the dark energy.

The fact that someone had cleared the quest before them could be seen, and there was another reason for their despair.

And the quest of ‘Into the Blast’ had disappeared, as it was a one-time quest.

In other words, they just missed the ‘limited edition’ quest.

And in most cases, the one time quests had greater generous rewards than the normal ones.

Three people who thought that the quest had been taken away from their hand, moved towards the portal.

“Let’s get in.”

“Yeah well, I don’t know what kind of people did this, but it hasn’t been long since the quest has been cleared.”

They had lost the quest because of their decisions, but they thought that they would pre-empt the other content before.

* * *

Of the three item rewards that Ian had earned for completing the quest, the ‘Advanced Fire element crystals’ was an item he already knew about.

The recipe for the ‘The Primal Marion Dragon’ which had been handed to him before entering the spirit dimension had it.

The recipe contained the ingredient elemental stones in it.

And of course, the elemental crystals needed for the recipe were of the highest grade and the items that Ian had obtained were of the higher grade too.

However, Gripper had said,

“Please get as many elemental crystals as you can, because they are needed to transmute the original ‘Marion Dragon’, and it is also used for creating powerful relics.”

Because of that, Ian could vaguely understand the use of the item ‘Elemental Crystals’.

The same went for the ‘Ancient Spirit Summon Magic circle’ item.

Surely it was an item that he was seeing for the first time, but he was able to infer its use by just seeing the name of it.

But the only thing that he wasn’t able to know was.

‘The medium nature marble… what the hell is that?’

Ian decided to check the item information.

-Medium Nature marble

Class: only (transcendence)

Classification: Goods

A mysterious marble condensed with the energy of the great mother nature.

If spirits absorb the marble, they can gain a large number of spirit power in an instant.

*As soon as the spirit uses this, the spirit’s spirit power increases by 6,000.

“…!”

Ian who checked the item window of the item couldn’t help but be shocked.

‘Spirit power of 6,000 in one shot?’

By just reading the information in the item window of the ‘Medium Nature marble’, the value of the item reached high.

‘Well, let’s think about it… the spirit power that Chirpy needs for evolving is 5,000.’

In order to evolve into a higher spirit, Chirpy which was currently a medium spirit required a total of 5000 spirit power. And the spirit power needed to evolve the lower spirits of Chirpy into the Middle-Earth spirit was 1000.

In other words, if this nature marble was fed to the lower spirit Chirpy, it would immediately turn into a higher spirit.

As Ian knew how difficult it was for the spirits to evolve, he thought he just hit a jackpot.

‘This is awesome! I’ll save this one first. If I get a fourth spirit, I’ll use it right away.’

Ian quickly checked the next item he had to verify.

Although it was necessary for him to verify it, he wanted to know the exact information of the ‘Ancient Spirit Summon Magic circle’.

-Ancient Spirit Summon Magic Circle

Rank: Legendary

Classification: Scroll

This is a magic scroll item that contains the ‘Ancient Spirit Summon Magic Circle’.

If you tear the item, a magic circle would be created in the air, and a random spirit with a random attribute can be summoned.

*All spirits are summoned randomly from lower-higher.

*Increases the chance of spirit summon to be summoned by 30%.

*When the spirit is summoned, the lowest spirit is summoned unconditionally.

*Put an ‘attribute essence’ into the circle for increasing the chance of the spirits that would appear (different odds vary depending on the ranks of the item).

*It is a one-time use item which would disappear.

A mysterious piece of golden parchment with gold energy.

Ian’s eyes were glistening after checking the item information.

‘According to PrettyBbook, the clue to summoning one of the Four Grand Spirits was with Syarlon.’

And in a sense, the item which Ian needed the most was the ‘Ancient Spirit Summon Magic Circle’.

Ian wanted to get the spirits which belonged to the Four Grand Spirits the most.

And among them, Ian wanted an attribute of the wind or fire, that could be grown into a Spirit King.

This magic circle item was perfectly tailored for Ian.

If it was correctly used for the detailed options given below the item, he could surely get the desired attribute spirit.

Ian looked at the details again and rolled up the piece of parchment.

‘Where to see… to get a fire and wind, I need to put in an attribute essence?’

It felt a bit similar, the ‘attribute essence’ and the ‘element crystals’—but were different items.

Both were the items that could be obtained by killing the contaminated spirits in the spirit dimension, but the ‘attribute essence’ was much more common than the ‘crystals’ and the use was completely different.

Originally, the purpose of the ‘essence’ was to be used to increase the power of the spirit by adding it to its attribute.

‘And I have a higher fire attribute essence.’

The essence of the higher attribute, which he had obtained after clearing the quest ‘Kill the Guardian’.

The attribute was flame, and Ian was no longer in shock or awe.

He never thought that he would get a higher grade of attribute essence.

“Syarlon.”

“Go on.”

“This magic circle… can I use it here, right away?”

Ian asked, and Syarlon nodded while smiling.

“Of course. If used in this sanctuary full of spirits and sprit power, a good spirit can be summoned.”

“I see.”

“There is something I’m curious about. Which spirit would respond to the hero’s call after defeating the Guardian Machine?”

Talking to himself, Ian grabbed the parchment with both his hands.

Holding the parchment vertically, the piece was torn.

Chak-!

At the same time, a white halo of some sort began to form.
