‘Mythical’.
A rank that possesses the ability to overturn one’s own job, characteristics, and all other specs.
If one obtains a Mythical Equipment, even a talentless and powerless newbie could potentially become a ranker; its value was that high.
As one climbs higher, victories and defeats end up hinging on whether they have Mythical Equipment or not.
‘This is an opportunity.’
Yena swallowed her saliva.
Deoen had been a ranker playing steadily since the beginning, and at one point, he was famous enough to be ranked 3rd.
Of course, he wasn’t out of skill altogether—he still had a position within the top 100—but the reason he was called washed-up was simple.
‘Aside from Echo of Death, there’s nothing special, right?’
Excluding the unique legendary trait obtained early on, he basically had no special hidden pieces.
Yena, who prides herself on not being behind in skill compared to high rankers, found that the rankers among the top ten always possessed Mythical Equipment.
Right now, Black had three Mythical Items, while the so-called strongest, Leo, had a spirit attribute that itself was Mythical.
As the level of rankers rises, Yena found herself in this situation due to not obtaining anything Mythical.
[Will you accept?]
An opportunity.
Once in a lifetime opportunity.
‘I must do it!’
Though she was currently in the newbie area, this felt more important right now.
It would be nice to do this quest with Lady Lily, but such quests often have a high chance of requiring only one participant.
She would have to make it up to Lady Lily afterward.
“Yes!”
[If you fail, you will receive no rewards; moreover, if you attempt the challenge again later, you will not be eligible for ‘initial攻略’ rewards.]
“Even if I can’t eat it, it’s still good!”
[Request has been accepted.]
“…?!”
Her vision twisted.
After a brief moment of dizziness, Yena steadied herself.
Yena’s left eye glowed blue.
A massive flow of magical power strongly stimulated her mana lines.
“Oooh…”
[Odd Eye ㄷㄷ]
[Are we going for a massacre route now?]
[LOL]
[Lily probably won’t allow it, ㅋㅋ]
[Is this Civil War? ㅋ]
[Oh my gosh]
[Let’s wipe out all of Yena’s land]
[Awakening Yena’s land ㄷㄷ]
“I have granted you the eye that distinguishes evil. If you gaze upon the wicked, you’ll immediately know their true identity.”
“Could it be… you just gave me a Mythical beforehand!”
“…I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but it’s true that I’ve given you part of the power of my Blue Ring.”
“Ooooooh!!! I’m going to wipe them all out!”
Yena enthusiastically trampled on the dark leaves.
Priest Blen, who was watching her intently, lowered his head toward the spot she vanished from.
“…May the innocent evildoer find rest.”
■
“…There is no culprit among them.”
I concluded that all the beastmen gathered in the village hall had been identified.
‘No culprit.’
It’s possible that the priest could be the culprit after all.
Wolf Beastman Kora raised his hand.
I nodded.
“Can you tell the culprit just by watching? If they’re lying, then…”
“I’m not judging the culprit by merely watching and listening. I compared the power of the illness with the aura of their magical powers.”
There was no one harboring enough magical power or strength to cause the illness.
Of course, they could have used an item that had the potential to unleash magic, but such items always leave traces on the body.
[Detection Team Lily ;;]
[That’s a priest, right?]
[Ah, haha, they see everything with observation!]
[Do we learn stuff like that later in class? Haha!]
[I’m feeling dizzy.]
[17 kills.]
[Whoa.]
Screech-!
Everyone turned their faces at the sudden sound of a bird.
A small owl was perched beyond the window of the hall.
An official document was hanging from the owl’s leg.
One beastman took the document and handed it to Hoa.
“Unless it’s something special, don’t contact me…”
“What’s that?”
“…Invaders.”
“Huh?”
“Invaders wrapped in red and blue energy are attacking the village… killing beastmen in one blow…”
As Hoa stood up, the beastmen of Rem village jumped to their feet.
“Yes, you guys! You planned to bind us and attack!”
“What nonsense! You guys invaded!”
“Didn’t you plant a traitor among us?!”
“Hah! Now, you’re doubting even the villagers? You’ve really fallen far!”
“Shut up…”
Kwaaaah!!
A massive ring of wind pressed down on the two representatives.
Hoa and Kora crawled on the floor.
“What we feared has come to pass. Infighting…”
“You…! Don’t speak carelessly! What do you know─”
“It’s not just applicable to you.”
“…?”
Suspicion and discord arose from the mysterious enemy.
As a result, the beastmen continued fighting among themselves until one might die, but a variable named ‘we’ emerged.
What they, or he, might plan next…
‘How strong will Yena be when she puts everything into it?’
Hope filled the spear I grasped tightly.
[Whoa.]
[Did they catch on?]
[Wow]
[Civil War ON]
[Let’s pray for Yena in advance…]
■
“Stop him!”
“Not ordinary…”
Swish!
“…Why is this so easy?”
Yena, who had already fulfilled 25 targets, looked around while retrieving the red and blue daggers.
Beastmen who died in one strike.
Occasionally, there are unique species that derive pleasure from ravaging monsters, but Yena wasn’t one of them.
With the broadcasting part and the need to cut down with a single strike, one of the assassin’s skills, ‘One Shot One Kill’, activated.
It’s somewhat similar to a person, so there’s that.
[Yena is just Yena]
[Wow]
[This is insane!]
[Yena the Goddess of Assassination returns, right? lol?]
[Wow, when was the last time we saw this?]
[It’s just legendary]
[Yena! Yena! Yena! Yena!]
The reward was mythical, and the warning message was pretty fierce, so there was a bit of tension.
Deoen never gives out ‘just’ hidden pieces.
It’s like the saying in movies: great power comes with a great price; that’s Deoen’s rule.
“You bastard! How dare you—Karin…”
Fwoosh—! Thud.
Slash.
“…No, this doesn’t make sense.”
There’s no way a mythical quest could be this easy.
Yena fiddled with her left eye.
The red-eyed gaze shifted to a blue one, like Lady Lily’s.
She hadn’t even finished the quest yet, but she was already receiving rewards.
Of course, she had legendary-level stats right now, but once the quest ended, it was clear they would transform into a mythical complete form.
“No matter how I think about it, the reason they gave this to me is that a situation will arise where I need it, right?”
[Maybe?]
[Why is the difficulty so easy though?]
[It is quite easy for a mythical quest…]
[Is the boss really Lily?]
[For real lol]
[If it’s Lily, that’d be a reasonable difficulty, but…]
[Without Lily, it’d be ridiculously easy enough to spark controversy lol]
[If the boss is Lily, it’s a bit scary though haha…]
“Lily? Why is the last boss Lily?”
While chatting, Yena turned her head after beheading another foe.
What is this nonsense?
[?]
[?]
[What? Didn’t you know?]
[You didn’t know?]
[Lily declared she wouldn’t kill Beastmen, lol]
[The chat has been blowing up since earlier]
[Hahaha]
[She kept ignoring them while killing, so I thought, of course, it’s Yena, haha]
[Yena, you wouldn’t…]
“What are you talking about! Lily is the enemy?!”
“Lady Lily is the enemy?!”
Yena’s expression hardened.
In that moment, it felt like all the puzzling questions clicked into place.
No. It can’t be real…
” Noooooooo!!! You should have told me!!!!”
[?]
[Hahahahaha]
[LOL]
[I’ve been saying it since earlier…]
[Breaking News: Yena declares she will face Lily in battle…]
[Is there a bus knight fighting a newbie during a noob tournament?!]
[This is hilarious hahahahahahahaha]
[Totally got lost in the mythical part and missed the chat while fighting haha]
[As expected from Yena! I knew it!]
[Yena the Legend lol]
[Yena Season 18373931 Extreme Mode lol]
“Ah… Aaaah…”
Yena, overwhelmed, sat down in the bushes.
Somehow, things were unraveling.
Yena cast aside the thought that perhaps Lady Lily would back down.
After all, she was the one who rushed in to save even the spirit that was half-destroyed.
Of course, there was a price, but she’d prefer not to indulge in such massacre routes, and wouldn’t easily agree even for a mythical.
‘Absolutely not.’
“Hahahahahaha.”
[Yena, are you out of your mind?]
[Can’t you just ask her to let this one slide?]
[For real]
[99% chance Lady Lily won’t agree given her personality]
[Lily isn’t the type to accept a massacre route]
[The person who cooked crab dishes in the Crab Empire…]
[LOL]
[Oh dear]
[Let’s just ditch Lily and eat instead]
[Honestly, at this rate, Yena could win ;;]
[Info: The current content is helping newbies in Newbie Park]
[Yena’s YouTube moment is on point LOL]
[Yena, you’re the newbie, but anyway, LOL]
“Guys, it’s not about winning or losing… It’s about my relationship with Lady Lily. Ah, but really mythical ha…”
First, let’s try to persuade her.
And if that doesn’t work, we’ll give up.
Yena held back her tears and stood up.
That’s the only way.
“Huh…?”
The phrase reflected before her eyes.
▶Lily Elbrite.
-Do as you wish.
“Lady Lily… No, Angel?”
She would allow this?
That Lady Lily?
▶Lily Elbrite.
-But.
▶Lily Elbrite.
-I’ll also do as I wish.
