Return of the Archmage

4.

The first wave is over.

Fortunately, there were no additional monsters.

The party wasn't too worried about choosing a place to rest.

"I think it's coming wherever it is anyway, so let's just relax here."

It is not even a wide open meadow.

Monsters managed to flock to the place where it was moderately territorial, easy to hide and hide.

With all kinds of magic feasts, the view was now clear, but he didn't waste time trying to find a safe place.

One minute and one second, it's better to take a little more rest.

There's no information about the next wave.

While sitting down and resting, Kang In-ho approached and asked.

"Hyesung, are you filming a video?"

"Yes."

"Wow, when did you turn it on?"

"As soon as I came in."

"That's great. I couldn't think of a video because I was nervous.”

There was no sign of regret while speaking.

"Since you turned it on from the beginning, why don't you just go with Hyesung's video?"

Then he asks Sage.

Ariel is one with Lee Hye-sung anyway, so she won't have to absorb Lee Hye-sung's viewers, and Juliet will turn on the video with Sage on the U.S. official channel, so Sage has to decide.

Sage's eyes are on Lee Hye-sung.

"Let's do it."

Lee Hye-sung shook his head.

Intensely.

"No, you can just turn it on.”

"I'll pretend I've got a debt."

"Just turn it on.”

"I think turning it on alone will help viewers focus and make a good profit."

"Hey, what's my opinion?"

The number of subscribers to the U.S. official channel is smaller than that of Lee Hye-sung, but cannot be ignored.

If you turn both on, you will see more viewers, but Sage decided without hesitation.

without hearing the opinions of the parties

"I don't know. It's up to you. I don't want to pay off my debts."

Such words only give a smile.

"Now we've talked to Sage."

And Kang In-ho's secret temptation.

"Show me.”

"What?"

"Growth Rune. I was going to watch it after all the cracks, but that move. It was definitely different from before. It's like he's wearing a set of rulers' accessories. There's no option here, but that kind of movement doesn't just work by changing a few pieces of equipment, and it's definitely the effect of a growth run."

“…….”

Frown your brows at a sharp analysis.

You must have been busy dealing with the monsters that are flocking in the midst of nervousness, but when were you watching all that?

I'm thinking for a moment.

Then he nods his head.

The money is full anyway, so it doesn't matter if other people turn on the video.

I just think it's time to show.

It shows the effect of a growth run that is different from the beginning.

[Growth Rune]

▶ Grade: Growth

▶ Effect

1. Increases attack power by +7%.

2. All Stats +5% Up

3. Increase acquisition experience by +3%

4. Travel speed up +8%

▶ Growth requirements

1. 1,000 lower runes

2. 100 intermediate runs

3. Five senior runs

4. One superlative run

"……Huh?"

"It's a very difficult rune to grow. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have drawn it out, but I would have bought it all as a low-level run."

"Are my eyes looking right? The numbers over there are the basic options, right?”

"No, of course it was all zero percent. Still, I got some mid-level and high-level picks, so I almost couldn't raise it by 3% with the stacked runes."

You've seen it so much, but as soon as it's revealed, Kang In-ho is in trouble.

Kang In-ho also holds the heart.

"I knew this would happen, but...….”

I opened Pandora's box.

I always wanted to see Lee Hye-sung's rewards even though I knew they were big enough to be hard to approach.

But Kang In-ho will reach the 17th floor one day, and if it's not the first reward, it's something he'll get.

"You see why I'm private, right?”

"……Yes, thank you for showing me.”

Then, he realizes that it is too much information to turn on the video only once.

Although it is only possible to look at the option of the growth rune, it is possible to come up with countermeasures in advance just by looking at it once.

As you can see from Lee Hye-sung's words, at a time when it is popular to aim for the best run by drawing, when you get a growth run, you will run at the peak of inefficiency.

The same is true even if the intermediate and upper runes are lucky enough to scoop well.

It is best to develop growth lines by attacking supplies with low-level runes.

Lee Hye-sung also improved by changing all the achievements he earned by clearing up to the 17th floor.

If Lee had known the information about the growth run in advance, he would have obtained at least 1.5 times the current figure.

"But don't pile it up too much. It's more efficient to fill up the run slots."

"That's the case."

Balance is important.

Without focusing on either side, the draw should fill the empty slots above the top, but also leave the achievement score for the growth run.

Of course, it's a far future.

The road to the 15th floor is also blocked.

But as always, the road will open.

Lee Hye-sung has already pierced it, and Kang In-ho can climb once the set of the ruler's accessories is completed.

There is only one thing to prepare.

Good luck.

I pray once and see Lee Hye-sung getting up from his seat.

"Here he comes again."

About half an hour's rest.

It was the beginning of the second wave.

***

Second, third, fourth, fifth.

The constant influx of waves exhausts people.

There are questions about how long he should stay here and suggest various questions.

"Should I find the boss and destroy him?"

"Do I have to find a gate?"

"Shouldn't we go out the exit?"

The hopeful part is that the pattern changes with each wave.

30 minutes of rest.

An hour's rest.

2 hours of rest.

4 hours of rest.

As the cycle gets longer like this, I think the end will be visible.

"Or really we'll be done."

"Hyesung, please don't say such an unkind thing. Because I'm scared."

Of course, I can't just think positively.

Of course, the more patterns change, the longer the breaks, the more powerful the monsters are.

Eight-level crack that you can't be predicted even an inch ahead.

Continuously applied crack buff.

He kept his seat in the midst of it.

"The boss will come at the end. Don't just wander around and be satisfied with the present."

Pioneering is certainly a good thing.

There will definitely be a change if you explore the unknown land.

But that means there is no risk.

If more crises are added after moving without seeing the end of the incoming monsters without any information on what kind of crack this place is and how to target them, it is impossible to guarantee the future.

After facing the 7th wave.

I could see it after 24 hours of rest.

Massive slime of mountainous size, hundreds of large slime coming in like a tidal wave.

5.

One of the things that even the general public, as well as numerous doctors who study cracks, were most curious about was the monsters from level 8 cracks.

Unlike the seven-level monster book, which is not many but is being filled to some extent, what monsters exist in the eight-level crack that has no in contrast to the 7-level monster book that is being filled to a certain extent.

It was a popular idea that no monsters would eventually deviate greatly from the kind of monsters classified in the books that Lee Hye-sung has accumulated, but he could not be sure of the new buffs that come out on the 16th floor of the ordeal.

Eight-level crack monsters to be unveiled with him.

Along with the monsters we've seen before, there are many monsters that we've never seen before.

As expected, level 8 has a lot of new monsters.

There's monsters that we've seen before, but they're that level?

But the crack buff, no, the crack buff is for the user. Is it called a monster crack buff? Anyway, with that, even that level monster would have gotten stronger at least level 2.

Surprising.

Although it was a series of dangerous and close-knit rads, the Dream Party blocked every wave well and regained stability amid anxiety.

As a result, curiosity expanded.

- What's going to happen to the boss?

If he's good enough to fill the book.

- It's very strong, has various patterns, and I hope you can use some ridiculous buffs.

Are you crazy? Then you're dead.

Why? I think I'm going to wake up.

Boss Monster.

The boss of an 8-level crack is a disaster, but a ray of hope soon grew and became as big as a fist, leaving people a little more relaxed.

consecutive victories

As you repeat it, you get used to it and it becomes natural.

The giant slime that appeared in front of them and the hundreds of larger slime than humans, in a way, were both rare and disappointing.

Come on. Level 8 crack boss is slime?

- Why are you making it? Slime is too weak against fire.

- You did a good job until 7 waves, but at the end, it ended so lame.

Honestly, if it was another party, it would be a dog counter, but the wizards here are too strong.

Hellfire, let's go!

It must be strong.

He's the boss of level 8 cracks and he's overwhelmed by the number of auras and slime flowing around him.

But that's why the Slime species is so vulnerable.

It is widely believed that no matter how powerful a monster is, his power is reduced by more than half in front of the extreme.

In particular, it is in front of Lee Hye-sung and Sage, a genius wizard, who are persistent in such aspects.

In the midst of massive flame magic, can slime show my fear to people and the intruders in front of me?

It's funny to worry about monsters, but I had high expectations.

The moment slime appears, it's the future that'

Even those who don't know about cracks would know if they had read fantasy novels at least once.

The boss's attack is to overcome unpredictable patterns with his body and the instant response.

Did viewers' aspirations reach slime?

When the magic that Sage and Lee Hye-sung simply pours out comes slime.

Fire!

The vortex of huge flames evaporated.

As soon as it touches the slime.

Then the bodies of the slime that extinguished the flames began to turn red.

It burns at the same time.

I'm not destroying myself.

"…is it absorbing?"

Lee Hye-sung gave out a despondent smile.

Lean if you want.

It doesn't disappoint the expectation.

Level 8 crack.

The slime corps in front of us was beyond the range of slime that we have known so far.
