Chapter 49 Legendary Item Auction

There were a total of 7 items from hunting the orc warchief and orc shaman, all of which were legendary.

One of the legendary items was the ax used by the orc warchief.

One bag was taken by the orcs, and the other bag was retrieved by rankers.

Of the remaining 6 items, there were 3 skill books.

‘There are three skill books… … .’

Hyunseong was given the right to preempt two of the items.

But that didn’t mean that Hyunseong ignored all the procedures and went to pick two items.

The Players Association promises that if Hyunseong chooses an item, he will pay the money to purchase it for free.

An auction has been officially scheduled.

Eligibility to participate in the auction was limited to players who participated in the Orc Warchief Raid and Orc Shaman Raid.

If the Players Association’s plans went as planned, Hyunseong could only participate in the auction of items vomited by the orc warchief.

However, Hyunseong and the Orc Warchief raid team also caught the Orc Shaman, so they got the right to purchase the items the Orc Shaman vomited.

The day the auction is held.

Hyunseong visited the auction house.

The items to be purchased had already been decided.

Once the ax was eliminated.

It had a very good option, but it didn’t make sense to Hyunseong, who already had the only legendary weapon called the Dragon Blood Sword.

He had to learn the smashing technique separately, and the weapon itself called the ax did not match Hyunseong, who gave up even a shield for mobility.

Other items were also of no use to Hyunseong, who is collecting the Demon King’s Armor Set and the Vampire King’s Accessory Set.

In the end, he had to pick two out of three skillbooks.

Hyunseong chose two skillbooks without thinking long.

The first skill book I chose was Walk Cry.

Walk Cry – Legendary Rank

-Active skill book

-Calls out, stuns enemies for 10 seconds.

-Increases the morale of allies for 10 minutes.

-The lower the enemy’s Spirit stat, the higher the chance of falling into a rigid state.

– A skill that is affected by the caster’s Spirit stat.

A wide-area mental attack skill used by the orc warchief.

It not only puts enemies in a rigid state, but also raises the morale of allies.

In addition, it was a skill that was affected by the Spirit stat.

Hyunseong’s mental strength stat is over 850.

It was a higher number than the tanker who rose to the rank of ranker.

If you are not a ranker healer, most players will probably have lower mental stats than Hyunseong.

Since there is no way for a healer to purchase skills like Walk Lie and learn them, it was actually the most effective skill when it came into Hyunseong’s hands.

The second skill book I chose was Berserk.

Berserk – Legendary Rank-Passive skill book

– Activates automatically when your health drops below 10%.

-When activated, physical resistance and skill resistance are reduced by 50%.

-When activated, Strength, Agility, Magical Power, and Spirit stats increase by 40%.

Berserk was a skill commonly used by monsters.

However, the drop probability was quite low.

In that sense, it was quite fortunate that the orc warchief vomited his Berserk skill.

‘Physical resistance and skill resistance are lower than other Berserk skills.’

In the case of hero-grade Berserk skills, physical resistance and skill resistance have been reduced by 70%.

On the other hand, the amplified stat was only 20%.

There is a difference in grade, but the penalty is reduced and the buff is increased.

It was truly a legendary level skill.

However, the Berserk skill was not very popular.

The advantages are clear.

All stats except stamina have been greatly increased, so you can expect a powerful increase in combat power like the Thunderbolt Banjo.

But the downsides weren’t too bad.

Significantly reduces physical resistance and skill resistance when only 10% of HP is left?

If I made a mistake, it was easy to go down the Nether Road.

Thanks to that, the Berserk skill has been reduced to a skill that dealers, who are glass bodies, learn for the final reversal.

Hyunseong had also considered purchasing the Berserker skill in the past.

However, the width of the decreasing physical resistance and skill resistance was too large, so I gave up in the end.

‘But 50% is enough and it’s worth using.’

Hyunseong has a dragon blood sword and a book of immortality.

He has not yet collected all the sets, so the effect is ineffective, but he is also wearing the Ring of the Vampire King.

Reduced physical resistance and skill resistance can be covered with item and skill.

‘As long as you can maintain 10% of your health, you can continue to maintain a huge buff effect.’

It was a gamble worth taking as long as you protect your heart and head, you won’t die even in the worst case.

The skill book that Hyunseong gave up on was a skill called Flame Spirit from an orc shaman.

The attack power is strong and the defense is strong, but the mana consumption was large, and, crucially, the caster had to stand in place as if nailed to a nail while using the skill.

Naturally, it was a completely useless skill for Hyunseong.

If you use the Spirit of Fire skill, you can’t use any other stats except for the magic stat.

The first skill that came out after the auction was Walk Cry.

The first legendary level mental attack skill that appeared.

“300 billion!”

“400 billion!”

As soon as the auction started, the price went up.

The Walk-Cry Skill Book quickly surpassed 1 trillion won.

The Walk Cry skill does not simply enhance one player.

It weakens all enemies and raises the morale of all allies.

As it is a wide-area skill that can have a great influence on the absolute majority in large-scale battles, the price has risen endlessly.

‘All the giant guilds rushed in.’

It was absolutely not an amount that could be called with the financial power of an individual ranker.

Hyunseong watched the auction with a calm expression without shouting the bid.

As the price of the work-cry skillbook goes up, the amount Hyunseong receives increases.

There is absolutely no need to fret or feel sorry for the rise in the price of the Walk Cry skillbook.

Rather, the higher the price, the better for Hyunseong.

On the other hand, Kang Seon-young, president of the Players Association, who was observing the auction, gradually turned pale.

‘Aren’t you going to climb more?’

The price has reached a plateau.

1.75 trillion won.

To think of it as the price of one skill book, it was too expensive to imagine.

“1.8 trillion won.”

Hyunseong sang the quote.

Then everyone’s eyes turned to Hyunseong.

He sang a large sum of money, but Hyunseong’s expression was calm.

After all, the money will be paid by the Players Association.

The rankers, who thought about it for a while, eventually gave up on the auction.

And Hyunseong bought both the Walk Cry skill book and the Berserk skill book that day.

Unlike the Walk Cry skill book, which recorded the highest price at auction that day, the Berserk Skill Book was able to win the bid at a relatively low price.

Hyunseong’s expression, who bought two legendary skill books for free, was as bright as the morning sun.

On the other hand, Kang Seon-young, president of the Players Association, who had to pay for the enormous cost of purchasing the legendary skill book, was as pale as a corpse and tired.

* * *

Korea succeeded in the second and third legendary level monster raids.

The news was greeted with applause from around the world.

In particular, the fact that one of the legend-grade monsters had a wide-area psychic attack skill and the fact that two of them were hunted at the same time despite being escorted by a large number of hero-grade monsters received greater acclaim.

China and Japan were stumped because they could not do anything about even a single legendary monster.

However, Korea succeeded in raiding two legendary monsters while splitting their power in two.

Worldwide, Korea’s raid ability was inevitably overestimated.

Countries around the world have used Korea’s victories as a means of stabilizing their own people.

-Look, Korea did such an excellent job of blocking two legendary monsters.

– We can do it too.

-Trust your players.

-The Kyushu disaster is the result of the Japanese government’s poor initial response and the specificity of flying monsters.

It was a measure to reassure the people who were worried about what to do if a legendary monster appeared in their country after the Kyushu disaster.

In the process, it was inevitable that China and Japan were undervalued.

This is because the governments of each country have driven the cause of the disaster not to the lack of ability of the players, but to the incompetent response of the Chinese and Japanese governments.

In fact, it was also true to some extent.

The Chinese and Japanese governments have become the laughing stock of the world.The Chinese government struggled to swallow it, and so did the Japanese government.

However, the public reaction was different.

The Chinese people were clamoring to show the true power of China the next time a legendary monster appears.

On the other hand, there was a strong opinion that Japan should solve the Kyushu crisis even by borrowing the power of Korea.

China, which overcame the crisis with the success of the Imoogi Raid, and Japan, who were feeling the crisis in real time due to the failure to subdue the Joining tribe, had to react differently.

The island of Kyushu, where 15 million people lived, was stolen by monsters.

To make matters worse, you never know when those monsters will come over to the Japanese mainland, Honshu.

Kyushu and Honshu are so close that their noses touch if they tip over.

There are vicious monsters swarming right next door, how many people can sleep with peace of mind?

In the end, the Japanese government, unable to win the torch of the people, formally requested the Korean government to dispatch a legendary monster extermination squad.

* * *

‘Crazy guys.’

Hyunseong saw the news article and spat out abusive language.

Request for support from Japan.

The comments were fiercely opposed to whether Japan’s support request should be accepted or not.

‘Our nose is small, but who do we help?’

Hyunseong turned off the smartphone screen with an absurd expression.

‘The government’s exaggerated advertising campaign worked too well.’

The only legendary level monster raid success team in the world.

The Korean government heavily promoted the Killers that successfully completed the Imoogi Raid, the Orc Warchief Raid, and the Orc Shaman Raid.

Some of those who participated in the extermination squad made their faces known to the public by appearing on current affairs and entertainment programs.

It was part of an effort to stabilize the people who were shocked by the Sinchon Station disaster and to protect the image of a raid powerhouse externally.

But the reality was completely different.

Imoogi Raid, Orc Warchief Raid, Orc Shaman Raid.

Each raid was attempted, causing huge casualties.

In particular, the damage of rankers was great.

The people were obsessed with the word victory and could not remember the sacrifices made to achieve that victory.

No, it was deliberately made out of the mind by the government.

Currently, Korea was not in a position to help other countries.

Korea is a country that has two dimensional gates with legendary monsters protruding from them.

You never know when another legendary-grade monster will pop out of that dimension gate.

Help Japan in such a situation?

Japan that the UN allied forces also gave up?

That was suicidal.

It was self-evident that if a legendary monster appeared while the rankers left Korea to help Japan, Seoul would be devastated.

Crucially, the loss was greater than the gain that could be gained by hunting a legendary monster.

How many rankers were sacrificed to catch a legendary monster?

Not just to protect their own country, but to protect other countries, do they conduct a legendary level monster raid where many rankers are likely to be sacrificed?

Even if the government orders it, the rankers will reject it first.
