[Oh]
[Lilha Lilha]
[Lily, what’s this bangon lolololol]
[Wow, is this a broadcast after 3 days?]
[Lily resurrection! Lily resurrection! Lily resurrection! Lily resurrection!]
[lolololololololololol]
[ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ]
[It was 3 days that felt like 30,000 years]
[Lily, what’s your identity?]
[So, are you an NPC?]
[Where is this again?]
[4th test?]
“Lilha~ welcome.”
It’s been 3 days since the Pharaoh’s Interference Dungeon broadcast.
After putting out the flames of discussion about me, I took a break under the guise of a hiatus, but it doesn’t seem like the buzz died down much.
The broadcast title reads “4th Test Broadcast” for the 4th test I didn’t get to do back then.
“Today is the day of the 4th test. We didn’t get to see it properly back then, right?”
[Yeah yeah yeah]
[Let’s see the 4th test lol]
[Yeah]
[Alien magic?]
[What can you use in the 4th test?]
[Lily was transforming oddly, though]
“First, what I awakened is not the complete 4th rank. There’s a time limit, and in a way, it feels close to a nerf.”
Instead of additional words, I immediately activated the 4th rank state.
[User, Lily Elbrite has achieved ‘Saint’s Path’ in the temporary 4th rank state.]
[Temporary unique holy power is now accessible.]
…
[User, Lily Elbrite is undergoing ‘Synthesis’.]
[This is a limited awakening. A maximum time limit of 3 hours per day is imposed. (02:39:21)]
Divine power fills the empty vessel of body and soul, and a translucent cloth flows down like a cloak.
The divine stat increases significantly as before, but this time I didn’t manifest my wings.
However, even without manifesting them, the afterimage vaguely formed the shape of wings.
‘…I don’t like this.’
Next time, I’ll have to eliminate the afterimages too.
[Oh]
[Angel Lily wow wow wow]
[Saintess Lily]
[Saintess?]
[Looks cool]
[Angel the Lily living in the gallery lol]
“…First of all, this state is the 4th rank, the form of ‘Saint’s Path.’ There was a route for a spear in other quests, so it’ll probably branch out like a tech tree.”
As jobs go through additional 2nd and 3rd class advancements, they change in unique ways.
Though we might start as the same Mage or Swordsman, the job line diverges significantly depending on the path chosen.
For Mages, there are various attributes like fire, water, earth, etc., and for Warriors, there are diverse job types like Berserker, Berserker, Great Swordsman, Dual Swordsman, and so on.
The path is determined by the choices made.
‘For me, it feels like I’m unsealing one thing at a time.’
“Oh… then starting from the 4th rank, it’s on a completely different level than the existing jobs.”
“Seems like it’s on a whole different level from regular jobs.”
“Yeah, it definitely feels that way. Awakening isn’t something that happens easily.”
“Wow… I’m so jealous. As expected of Lady Lily.”
Suddenly, a man with a sword entered the camera frame and gave a thumbs up.
At that, a woman next to him shook her head and let out a sigh.
[?]
[Who is this?]
[????]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[So natural]
[Collab?]
The camera naturally pointed toward the Guild Master and the Deputy Master.
As the man bowed his head, the woman followed suit.
“Hello! I am Vitamin C, the Guild Master of the Vitamin Guild!”
“…Nice to meet you. I am Deputy Guild Master Yeomhwa.”
“We’re here to help with the test today. We won’t take long and will keep it simple.”
[Vitamin?]
[What’s with this ‘ta-min’?]
[That soap]
[What a random guild, lol]
[Are they seriously collabing with a no-name guild instead of -ye-?]
[Why aren’t we included?!]
[Looking at their outfits, they seem like just an ordinary guild.]
[Why this sudden collab?]
“It’s not a collab. They’re people who lent us the hunting ground for the test. We decided to help them out a bit in return.”
“Exactly.”
“This is a place where high-level monsters respawn, and every hour, a Black Horse…”
Vroom!
As soon as he began speaking, a Black Horse appeared as the red grass swayed across the vast plains.
Time’s almost up.
“Let’s take a look.”
The Vitamin Guild members quickly prepared for battle.
The Guild Master pulled out a bright yellow sword, and the Deputy Guild Master’s gauntlets ignited with flames.
Soon, the fight between the Vitamin Guild and the red-horned Black Horse began.
The Black Horse targeted the weaker guild members with its strong body, but someone behind pulled out a green thread and tied up the Black Horse’s legs.
Though the Black Horse quickly untangled its legs with a roar, it couldn’t block the attack that followed.
Scratches marked the Black Horse’s body.
They weren’t strong enough to deal a fatal blow.
“Have you gotten all of it?!”
“Yes!”
“Good!”
However, the conditions had already been met.
The Deputy Guild Master’s flame punch struck the upper body of the Black Horse, and the Guild Master’s sword beheaded the staggering creature.
It looked like a decent combo, but…
[?]
[Not that impressive]
[Why make such a fuss over an 80-level normal monster? lol]
[Lily would have finished it in 0.1 seconds…]
[Just?]
[What, is this not a Ranker guild?]
[But they seem to be in the top 30% at least?]
Compared to the rankers, their power wasn’t particularly astounding.
There were 15 guild members, but only about 5 actively participated in the battle.
Even the other three merely tied up the ‘hunting shares’ for the 10 remaining guild members; the real damage was all done by the Guild Master and the Deputy Master.
“I just tied them up to give out shares, the real damage was done by the guild master and the deputy guild master.”
The guild master, who retrieved the red horn left behind after the black horse vanished, looked at me.
“It’s over.”
“Alright. Let’s start the test.”
I casually reached out my hand.
A pure white magic circle was drawn around my fingertips.
Back in my saintess days. The first time I learned the ‘Ritual of Resurrection’ from the original saintess.
Resurrection was the foundation and essence of a saintess’s power, and I had used this resurrection countless times.
There were so many souls in the world that had faded away without the chance to blossom their talents.
The Ritual of Resurrection contains the Holy Healing.
The light of the Holy Power shone down on the spot where the black horse had perished, and it wasn’t long before the black horse reappeared.
Vroom.
[Oh]
[Resurrection?]
[?????]
[LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL]
[Isn’t that what you showed us before?]
[You’re resurrecting them, like respawning]
“It’s not really different from what I used to do. Resurrection was possible even before the fourth class.”
The Ritual of Resurrection is a kind of simple magic.
If you have knowledge of the magic formula and the Holy Power, it’s a straightforward spell to use.
The problem lies in the consumption cost.
Unlike the past, my Holy Power has significantly diminished, and this ‘red-horned black horse’ is currently in a state of resurrection due to something special.
As the soul is bound, if I want to ignore the resurrection conditions of whatever is binding it and bring it back at my will, it naturally consumes more Holy Power.
Surely, if it were up to the third class, I would have exhausted my strength just resurrecting them a few times…
Fwoosh!
“This is…!”
“Whoa…”
“Wait, what?!”
[?]
[WTF? LOL LOL]
[Group resurrection?]
Vroom! Vroom!
The resurrection magic brought back all twenty black horses that had respawned on the prairie.
Even though each had a resurrection cooldown of one hour.
I retracted the hand that was performing the resurrection spell while looking at the guild members with their mouths agape.
“Wow… It really doesn’t cost much, does it?”
So this is the Holy Healing. It’s sure that the consumption for ‘resurrection’ is much less.
If the original cost was 10, it’s now merely about 1 to 2?
In terms of efficiency, my resurrection ability is similar to that of someone with 25 years of experience.
‘The power can’t have improved that much. It seems the healing aspect has been maximized.’
While my attack capabilities haven’t recovered to that extent, it can’t be helped.
I looked at the chaotic chat window while confirming the black horses on the prairie.
As expected, due to the characteristic where memories are erased upon resurrection, the black horses showed no significant changes.
“Wow… Do we just need to catch all of these?”
“Thank you!”
“Let’s catch them quickly! I’ll tie them up right away—”
Kwaaaak!!
Vroom?!
Before the guild members could react, countless white threads extended out and bound all the black horse’s legs.
The countless white threads spread out and bound the Black Horse’s feet completely.
“How am I supposed to catch it again after killing them one by one?”
“Go ahead and catch it.”
“…Uh. What?”
“This thread. It’s my skill…”
“I tried to copy it a bit.”
Did I do a pretty good job imitating it?
One guild member, who was spewing out threads, stuttered and nodded.
[Infinite Hunting ON;;]
■
Puhihing…
Thud!
“I caught them all.”
“I leveled up!”
“Me too!”
“Great, then…”
Pah!
““““……””””
The Vitamin Guild members, who had struggled to defeat twenty Black Horses, watched as they resurrected once again.
The resurrection took just about three seconds.
Having caught a total of 140 horses seven times in an hour, the guild members turned away, looking drained.
“Um… well… me.”
“Keep catching them. There’s plenty of time left.”
“I-I’m fine now.”
“Really?”
Such opportunities are rare.
Though this is just a quick test, I don’t plan on doing this repeatedly.
The reason leveling up like this is possible is because something on the grasslands resurrects monsters at set intervals.
If I just killed ordinary monsters roaming by the roadside and resurrected them, I wouldn’t receive any experience points.
The total experience points given to monsters is fixed, and once obtained, you can’t get them again.
In other words, the continued experience and resources from this ‘Red-Horned Black Horse’ come from that special something.
“You may never get this chance again. It may seem infinite, but once it’s exhausted, it’s all meaningless.”
“That’s enough. Everyone’s leveled up for today. You need to use it while Lily is here too.”
“Is that so?”
Well, I don’t mind.
[You’re giving this up?]
[It’s a chance for a massive level-up, right?]
[But isn’t it a bit scammy?]
[Lily didn’t get on the bus, LOL]
[But isn’t this monopolizing the hunting ground?]
One by one, the Vitamin Guild members began to leave.
Checking on the guild members, the last to leave, Bugilma, pointed towards a small cave beyond the grasslands.
It looked suspicious right off the bat.
“Oh, and don’t go near that place, okay?”
“Why not?”
“I don’t know. The owner here told me not to go. Well, I’ll be off.”
I was left alone on the grassland.
“Um.”
[You’re not going, right?]
“I’m not going.”
Probably not going.
