Suzy also opened the remaining rare grade boxes.
[Open the random box (rare).
Obtain the trait 〈Deep Sleep〉.
A gift from Μουσα.
Trait 〈Deep Sleep〉
When dealing with monsters of the same or higher grade as a Hunter within a 1,000m radius, the critical damage probability increases by 2%.]
[A sanction will be imposed for one week due to interference outside of Μουσα’s regulations. The connection with Μουσα will be lost.]
She clicked her tongue.
At this point, the grade of the box was just for decoration.
The ‘great beings’ were each giving her gifts as they pleased when the situation became like this.
The traits 〈Malicious Heart〉 and 〈Deep Sleep〉 were almost a set. One increased the probability of critical damage, and the other increased the damage value itself.
Moreover, the item called 〈High Solution〉 had a completely fraudulent function.
Suji absentmindedly opened the item window and took a deep breath.
[〈(Incandescent) Shackles of the Dead〉(Tier 10)
Contains the breath of a goddess who decided never to breathe again.
It has light and electric properties.
Created by the hands of a blacksmith.
Luck +7, Strength +30, Skill +4, Vitality +21, Attack Power +23,099, Critical +277,
Potential Option (Unlocked): Critical +29]
Potential options were applied to all the equipment and items that she was wearing, including her main weapon.
It seemed like it was like adding about 10% to one of the item’s abilities.
Seeing that they were giving it away like this at the last minute, it seemed like they didn’t want to see failure that much either.
“Can they just give it away like this?”
When Suji muttered without realizing it, the guy replied as if he didn’t like it.
– Everyone seemed to like it quite a bit.
“What?”
– What would it be?
“Me?”
– … … Yes.
The guy answered hesitantly and continued.
– I give you the right to intervene just once. And just once in the entire episode. I used it on you. It’s hard to call it a right, though. There’s a penalty.
Suji shrugged her shoulders.
If you think about it positively, it was a story that made her feel like a hero who received the origin of the entire universe, but if you really think about it, it was just receiving items from inhuman-level beings sitting at the gambling table.
It was efficient.
But from my perspective, I honestly wondered if it was something I should be so grateful for.
She didn’t respond in a flat tone, and laid out the items she had been carrying around all this time in front of her.
The first item I took out was the 〈Door to Shangri-la〉, but it said that the search conditions were not met, so I put it back, and the next item I took out was the 〈Nύμφη’s Rainbow Stone〉. When
I took it out and placed it in front of me, a fist-sized, rainbow-colored ball bounced around in place and stopped still.
Suzy stared at the 〈Nύμφη’s Rainbow Stone〉.
The pet I got from the 〈Nύμφη’s Stone〉, which was its inferior, was also really useful.
However, I wish I had gotten a pet that was more helpful in battle.
“I can’t figure out how to break this, but. Since you’re just carrying around something that’s just taking up space in your inventory, why don’t you tell me about it now?”
– Check it out.
“Huh?”
Suzy blinked and checked the item details.
[〈Nύμφη’s Rainbow Stone〉
: It looks like a rainbow-colored stone.
: [Emotion Details] Al.
Characteristics: When waking up, it follows the first being it sees, and its appearance can be set by its owner.
It can perform combat functions.
It will wake up if you hold it in your arms and whisper, “I miss the existence of the stars.”
Default color: Five colors]
It clearly said that the method of waking up was unknown.
Now, not only was that description written clearly, but the combat function was also clearly stated.
“Wow.”
She smiled happily at the setting that seemed to have read her mind, but the log went up again.
[You will be subject to sanctions for a week due to interference outside the regulations of Νύμφη. Your connection with Νύμφη will be cut off.]
Suzy frowned slightly.
Νύμφη was the ‘great beings’ who had first observed her actions. She
felt quite grateful, thinking that even if it was hateful, it was affectionate.
However, as soon as that thought occurred to her, she pinched her cheek and came to her senses.
‘Thank you. Let’s not forget that we’re suffering like this within the Hunter system set up by those guys, Seo Su-ji.’
She held the item in her arms and recited the set spell.
“Star… … .”
But her words were choked up.
It was strangely embarrassing to recite a strange spell alone in a place where no one was watching.
Su-ji encountered an unexpected difficulty and shut her mouth tightly.
Her face felt hot as if it was burning.
‘… … What is this? I can get a battle pet. Come to your senses.’
She consoled herself like that and held the five-colored stone item in her arms as she tried hard to open her mouth again.
“Rice… … Ha… … Really… … Star… … Who made this kind of spell… … Ha… … I miss the existence of stars.”
After hesitating several times and barely being able to finish the spell, the five-colored stones spread out softly and became a sparkling, amorphous substance.
Instead of the hard stone feel, it danced on her hand in a form similar to soft clay.
‘Let’s see. What kind of appearance should I make it?’
In order to deal with enemies in the air, she needed a pet with wings.
She hadn’t thought about it in advance, but there was only one thing that came to mind when it came to a strong pet with wings.
Suji chose the appearance without much thought.
“Please, dragon form.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the mass of light floating on her palm flowed down to the floor like lava.
It grew from the floor and took on a white color, and in an instant, a huge white dragon that filled the hexahedral space was looking down at her.
Wings twice as large as its body, amber eyes that looked anything but gentle, and sharp claws. Glittering, jewel-like plates that sprouted along its spine.
It was exactly as she had imagined, as if it was true that she could freely change its appearance.
As Suji reached out to the air, the giant dragon that could swallow her in one bite politely placed both hands on the ground and stretched its long neck down. Then it rubbed its face against her small hand.
Grrrrrr— A
throat groaned beneath the dragon’s beautiful scales without a single blemish.
Seeing the giant dragon tightly shutting its eyes and leaning its face against my hand made me feel complicated.
The unicorn was like that, and the dragon
was like that. They were more loyal and charming than I had thought.
Suji hesitated for a moment and then gently stroked the dragon’s forehead.
The resentment she felt toward monsters was indescribable.
However, as she got closer and closer to the end, she felt that monsters were just like her, beings used in a betting game.
It was true that they were inevitably inaccessible, but that didn’t mean she felt as disgusted as before.
It seemed better than beings who sat around a chess board and bet money.
‘When all this is over, will the pets disappear?’
At that time, the very existence of monsters would become meaningless.
‘It would be better if it weren’t so.’
That thought came to her mind without thinking.
In the past, she would never have thought of such a thought.
If everything were over and everyone survived well.
It would be nice if she could decorate an amusement park like she had talked about before.
There, pets would come and go, and the items they had acquired would be displayed, and the battles that would never be fought again would be commemorated.
If only that could happen… …
Then she would really give them names.
Unicorns. Dragons.
Even though she knew that it was a slim chance, Suzy tried to imagine it in a positive way.
After patting the dragon a few more times, she calmed her rapidly beating heart and pointed to the three boxes in front of her.
Thinking of her teammates who would still be waiting for her, she should probably start receiving that final reward soon.
“You used your luck stat well.”
The guy burst into laughter as if it was ridiculous.
At first, I wasn’t sure if the squeaking sound was laughter, but now that I’ve heard that strange sound in my head so often, I can tell the difference.
– You’re a politician now. It’s a shame, but this reward is already decided. It’s not something you can do as you please.
“What else did I ask you to do?”
Soo-ji shoved her shoulder.
What do they know about the rules they set among themselves?
Soo-ji looked at the three huge boxes wrapped in gold, silver, and bronze in turn, swung her arm once, and stepped forward.
Either way, she was going to battle now.
With her heart pounding with tension, she opened the silver box in the middle.
Light filled the space.
Tiring!
[You have acquired the trait 〈Malicious Heart〉 as a reward for completing 100 floors.
It is a gift from νόμος.
Since there are two copies of the same trait, they are applied together and the values are calculated twice.]
At this point, it was easy to guess the remaining gift.
Suzy opened the other box.
[You have acquired the trait 〈Malicious Heart〉 as a reward for completing 100 floors.
It is a gift from νόμος.
Since there are three copies of the same trait, they are applied together and the values are calculated three times.]
– Good luck.
The log went up along with the bastard’s voice.
[You will be subject to sanctions for one week due to interference that goes beyond νόμος’s regulations. Your connection with νόμος will be cut off.]
That was the end of the echoing in my head.
And then, the always noisy log became quiet.
Sujin stared at the status window, which was always bustling with responses from the ‘Great Beings’, for a while, feeling strange that no message was displayed.
