‘Speedster.’
The speedster achievement was an unexpected gain.
‘I never thought I’d get it at this point.’
In a sense, it was an achievement that was harder to get than legendary achievements since it could only be obtained by clearing a dungeon floor within an hour.
In fact, the achievement’s 3% stat boost was greater than most legendary achievements.
There was also another reward that was far more important than that of the achievement.
[Skeleton Soldier]
→Rank: A
→Effect:
→Summon a Skeleton Soldier by sacrificing a corpse.
→Number of Summons: 10
Skeleton Soldier had become an A rank skill.
Well, to be precise, it had become a B rank skill and had been elevated to A rank with the effect of the Plus Ring.
But that detail wasn’t really important to Kim Woo-jin.
‘Two steps away.’
Only two steps remained for it to become an EX rank skill.
‘If I raised it with the Horned Fox’s horn…’
Moreover, Kim Woo-jin still had one horn of the Horned Fox in his hands.
Though the possibility was low, in a situation where the Skeleton Soldier skill was at the A rank, there was a chance to increase the rank of the skill to EX using the Horned Fox’s horn as well as the Plus Ring.1
‘No, there’s no reason to rely on probability.’
Of course, Kim Woo-jin didn’t intend to entrust his fate to such an absurd probability.
‘Anything would be fine.’
What Kim Woo-jin paid attention to wasn’t such low probability luck, but the fact that he could use the horn of the Horned Fox in the first place.
Among the skills that Kim Woo-jin possessed currently, there was nothing to lose regardless of which one he chose to rank up.
‘I’m going to need everything to deal with the Messiah Guild in the future.’
The last gain I got was that Isaac Ivanov would now be recognized as irreplaceable by the Messiah Guild.
‘Without any hunting dogs they will approach more earnestly.’
Since the Messiah Guild’s hunting dog for the Two Floor dungeons, Suzuki Eiji, had disappeared, they would be even more obsessed and interested in acquiring Isaac Ivanov.
This meant that an opportunity would come again for Isaac Ivanov.
With him they would be able to attack dungeons filled with powerful or valuable monsters that even the Messiah Guild didn’t have the confidence to clear before.
Of course, there was something that Kim Woo-jin didn’t forget.
‘They will try to deal with Park Yong-wan first.’
At the moment, the most important thing to the Messiah Guild wasn’t the rookie Isaac Ivanov, but was instead Park Yong-wan who was already capable of biting them.2
‘They will make a move sooner or later.’
Moreover, this time, the Messiah Guild would definitely reveal a powerful hand that they hadn’t used in the past to deal with the giant Park Yong-wan.
This was what Kim Woo-jin was aiming for.
‘As long as he goes outside, they’ll find a gap.’
Even if it was a powerful or protected enemy, as long as they went out, then you could find a gap somehow and somewhere and aim for it.
At the very least, that’s what a man like Kim Woo-jin would do.
‘Even if it’s a giant monster, there would be a weak point.’
Therefore, Kim Woo-jin was confident he wouldn’t be surprised no matter how shocking the hand the Messiah Guild revealed was.
‘With the help of Oh Se-chan and Lee Jin-ah, it should be enough.’
In addition to that, Kim Woo-jin wasn’t alone anymore.
As he thought of that fact, Kim Woo-jin turned to look at Lee Jin-ah who also turned to look at him with a smile.
The smile was very bright to the point that his eyes seemed to be shining.
“A little while ago, I recalculated the time and it turned out to be 6.01 seconds. So you should prepare your wallet.”
At those words, Kim Woo-jin refuted with a steady tone.
“It was 5.99 seconds.’
“Hey, really! Bite me!”
Kim Woo-jin finally nodded.
“Fine, I’ll treat you to some Japanese food.”
“Huh? Really?”
When Kim Woo-jin said that, Lee Jin-ah was very surprised and even a little afraid.
“Then I’ll have ramen. The smallest sized bowl.”
…
“There’s a big commotion outside. Something must have happened.”
In response to the words from the black woman with blonde hair, Park Yong-wan looked up from the document in his hands.
Soon after, he placed the document on the desk and signed his name on it using an expensive fountain pen that was placed nearby.
Then after turning the document around on the desk, he slid it toward the black woman.
Seeing this, the woman smiled and took the document, placing it gently into the secure briefcase that she had prepared.
“Thank you. From now on our Frontier Guild will provide our full support to the activities of Phoenix Guild as stated in the contract.”
Park Yong-wan simply looked her in the eyes, instead of responding.
(Note:
1.The author made it seem in this instance that the horn of the Horned Fox had a chance(possibly low) of increasing the rank of a skill, but there was never a status window for the Horned Fox’s horn so we have no way to confirm this effect…but such an effect would definitely explain the Messiah Guild’s strong desire for the horn even to the extent of pressuring him using media after he saved their members.
2.For those who don’t remember, Park Yong-wan was actually an operative of the Messiah Guild who decided to go rogue when he got enough power.
