Deoen’s quest is a series of choices.
Depending on the player’s decision, the future progression will change, along with the corresponding rewards and subsequent linked quests.
It’s only natural that the higher the difficulty, the better the rewards.
Although mythical equipment has been revealed for two years now, the reason only a few rankers possess them is simple.
“It’s been a while, Miss Yena.”
“Ha, haha…”
‘Mythical quests are set at an unbearably high difficulty.’
Yena gritted her teeth.
The plan she set after receiving the okay sign from Lady Lily was not like this.
Originally, the plan was to use the assassin’s stealth ability to swiftly kill the beastmen and then ambush Lady Lily to eliminate her.
No matter how strong she became and gained a speculative advantage, Lady Lily was like an onion.
No matter how many layers you peeled, new techniques would emerge.
She felt that no matter how unfavorable the situation, Yena wouldn’t be able to find a solution against her.
‘It’s absolutely impossible to confront her head-on.’
As she was smoothly progressing while avoiding full-frontal battles…
“Lady Yena.”
“…Who are you?”
“Nice to meet you. I’m Miho, a former priest and someone helping Blen.”
She’s an incredibly beautiful fox beastman.
Not as much as Lady Lily, though.
“But why did you suddenly call me?”
The chances of success weren’t 100% but it was still a fight with about a 10% probability.
However, the sudden summoning dropped that probability to about 1%.
It was a thunderclap for Yena, who was blissfully dreaming of obtaining mythical equipment.
As Yena glared with fierce eyes, Miho smiled gently.
“Don’t worry. You can’t lose now.”
“What do you mean—”
Paat.
“Uhk?!”
The wave of blue mana engulfed Yena.
A massive magical power swiftly crossed through her body, radiating outwards from her heart.
The red mana that Yena originally possessed was swept away by the wave, leaving only the blue mana within her body.
Hah…
With her unique heterochromia turning both eyes blue, Yena looked at Miho with a confused expression.
“I’ve given you complete power. Once the task is done, I’ll give you that strength as it is.”
“…Is this what’s mythical?”
The power surges within her.
It feels as though she could handle any role, not just that of an assassin.
‘Just like Leo.’
Sre.
Eerie magical power flows through the blue dagger.
One thought completely occupied Yena’s mind.
‘I can’t hold back.’
I must eat this without a doubt.
Even if I can’t eat it, I must.
If I take it seriously, there’s a chance…
“Are you ready?”
My head turns.
Lily waits for me with a spear slung over her shoulder.
For a moment, it felt like water was splashed on my head.
What was I doing again?
[Ah haha, you were waiting for me]
[Don’t you attack during the transformation?]
[Lily is really an angel, lol]
[Yena, you know losing looks super ugly, right?]
[Hahahahahaha]
[Fact: It’ll still be ugly even if I win]
[True Awakening Yena, ;;]
[Mythical Yena VS Just Lily]
[Whoa whoa whoa]
[Doc hu hahaha]
[You can’t lose after waiting, right?]
[Lily queen, what’s this, lol]
The chat window, which had been frozen, suddenly pours in.
What’s the deal with a mythical level that the streamer doesn’t even care about broadcasting and is just drunk on power…
“Ugh…”
It’s embarrassing.
At this level, it’s shameful enough to be in the top 5 black history of broadcasting.
‘I really should just go die…’
“Let’s do it.”
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1WE83WnhqbmRkVmFBelZMWWxOUi9nRUFYeGltM0pVc21WMkliZXhjTjdVUA
“…Huh?”
Vroom.
The spear moves.
“Don’t you want that?”
“…But.”
Is it really right to get something this way?
As a seasoned player helping a newbie, shouldn’t I have consideration for the newbie?
Lily gives a pretty smile.
“Yena, you worry about every little thing.”
Just come in.
“There’s nothing left to lose anyway.”
“…What do you mean, lose!”
Aaah! I scream, and the overflowing magical power surged through my body.
Right now, there’s definitely nothing holding me back.
I can win.
[Hahahahahaha]
[Yena is on fire today, lol]
[Yena is super adorable today, lol]
[Yena, let’s have a go at it when she talks like that]
[For real haha]
“…Okay. I’m going to be serious.”
Yena replaces her two daggers with a new dagger pulled from her space.
It’s not a hidden piece or mythical, but it’s a legendary dagger with a decent enchantment.
The two daggers fit perfectly in Yena’s hands.
Her blue eyes gleamed with vigor.
“Shadow Illusion.”
Yena’s body disappears.
■
A storm of blue daggers rains down.
One of the assassin’s abilities, combining Shadow Stealth and Shadow Illusions to unleash a barrage of daggers.
Assault.
The movement felt as if dozens were attacking, and no equal skill master could block it.
‘There’s a reason they’re considered the best in one-on-one combat.’
The spear rotates in a circular motion.
A technique that disrupts the connection of magical power around and nullifies the enemy’s attacks.
Having seen this technique on broadcast several times, Yena quickly gives up her attack and dodges.
As soon as the nullification ends, an immediate counterattack.
A dagger slashes upward. And another dagger overlaps, releasing blue magical power.
Though I lay the spear flat to block…
WHOOSH!
“Two slashes.”
The second attack grazes my forearm.
‘Guaranteed hit.’
Even if I block the effect of a legendary hit, it inevitably inflicts damage on the enemy.
The wound that grazed my forearm seeps magical power, gnawing at my health.
[Guaranteed Hit Dagger ㄷㄷ]
[Yena, go for it!]
[Seriously, do you not know?]
[Lily, don’t hold back!]
[Are you really letting that go?]
The spear splits.
Seeing the spear suddenly increase to seven, Yena halts her next attack, clicks her tongue, and hides with invisibility.
With a mythical item plus a high-level assassin’s invisibility, it was nearly impossible to detect her position.
[Invisibility]
[How do we find her?]
Well, there’s a way.
I shoot out the divided spears.
Of course, Yena isn’t hit.
“Spear’s Roar.”
“…!”
Crack crack crack!
From the seven spears shot, the roar of the spear activates.
In an instant, the spears, aimed at one point, transform into seven giant breaths that tear apart the surroundings.
BOOM!!!
The priest’s dwelling turns to dust.
As the smoke clears, the utterly destroyed area reveals itself.
Aside from the three who fled in time, everything has vanished.
[?????]
[Um, casting after shooting is a bit much, don’t you think, Teacher?]
[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
[Is Yena dead?]
[The merging of skills has its limits, lololololololol]
[Spear Tornado with Clone Spear…]
[Too much]
[Yena, high ranker who got a mythical item, flustered like crazy]
[Meanwhile, ripping everything apart in seven directions is pretty badass ;;]
[Agreed]
[For real, lol]
Ta-gak.
‘There’s no way she died this easily.’
After all, Yena, whom I acknowledged for her talents, is exceptional.
And she’s a high ranker who obtained a mythical item.
No way she could just die like this.
Huff.
Ka, kkkkak!!!
The dagger aimed at my neck is effortlessly blocked by the spear’s blade.
“Are you stopping this?!”
“I’ll also teach you how to hide your mana next time.”
“Ugh…”
Yena hurriedly retreats.
I mirrored Yena, spinning the spear as I followed her.
The spear ruthlessly targeted Yena, but the nimble Yena dodged and absorbed most of the damage.
Kakang!
Pusheuk!
Instead, Yena attempted to counterattack, inflicting quite a bit of damage on me.
No matter how much I’m focused, those daggers are sharper than expected.
What’s even better is that Yena is utilizing mana for every single one of her attacks.
‘You’ve got to be this good to qualify for my lessons.’
I smiled.
“Excellent.”
“Thank you… but I’m not doing this for praise!”
She’s dealing damage yet not landing effective hits.
Judging that it’s meaningless to continue like this, she bit her lip and retreated again.
The reason Yena fights fiercely even after obtaining a mythical rank is simple.
From what I’ve roughly assessed, Bluering’s magical power is more specialized in enhancing magic rather than physical strength.
Being such a strong entity, her physical performance is somewhat guaranteed, but in the end, she’s wielding a staff meant for casting spells like a sword.
If Yena were a mage instead of an assassin, things would be way trickier now.
Conversely, the reason Taebaek’s ‘Horn of the Abyss’ was effective was that it drastically reduced my abilities instead of enhancing his own.
“If only Jukme wasn’t on cooldown…”
[Hahahahahahahahaha]
[If it’s a mythical rank, that’s enough, Yena, lol]
[Yena’s land, how far can you go…?]
[Hahahahahahaha]
[There’s no helping it against Lily]
[Do we have to give her Jukme too?]
[Yena’s land is pathetic]
[Still, did manage to take a chunk of their health, right?]
I tapped the spear lightly.
The spear shone brightly with blue mana.
In that instant, Yena’s brow furrowed.
“…I used Teleportation.”
“But that’s not the only thing I taught you.”
I definitely taught her one more technique besides Teleportation.
And with her current ‘magical’ abilities blossoming, Yena could pull it off.
Struggling between her pride and her mythical rank, Yena hesitated.
“……I’ve never succeeded even once.”
Kiiing…
Yena’s dagger began to rotate slowly.
