Naturally, my body leans slightly.
I’m curious. But I can’t approach.
If the woman talking to Yena is really that Lily, then this is quite a significant matter.
‘The Lily I’ve been searching for is in this apartment?’
If this truth gets out, there will surely be a huge influx of interest in the apartment, with people flooding in to catch a glimpse of the real Lily.
After all, there’s speculation that the real Lily is similar to Deoen’s Lily.
No, it’s not just speculation; it’s already openly circulating as photos and videos.
However, it’s uncertain whether the ‘Lily’ seen with Yena is really that Lily.
After all, Yena is a cosplayer, and it doesn’t make sense for someone with that face to be doing a broadcast like that.
She looks like a complete angel, but she goes around smashing people’s heads.
Aisha surveyed her surroundings.
There was no one in the hallway.
Fortunately, being in a luxury apartment, the sound insulation is excellent, so unless they yelled, no one would have overheard their conversation.
Even Aisha couldn’t hear a hint of their chat before she opened the door.
─“Go on in.”
─“Uuung~ Little brother, hello~”
Just then, Lily and Yena parted ways in front of the elevator.
It was a shame not to see Lily’s face, but it didn’t matter.
The soundproofing is so good, but you never know.
It was late at night, so there was no need to make unnecessary noise.
“Yawn~”
So…
■
“Jaaah…”
“Eh? Miss Yena?”
“…Huh?”
Yena ‘happened’ to run into Aisha.
At 2 AM, Yena nodded dazedly at the sudden appearance of Aisha, but soon shifted her gaze to Aisha’s hand.
A small bag held in Aisha’s hand.
“Aha. Is that alcohol?”
“I ordered it as a late-night snack. Lately, I’ve just been focusing on Deoen, so I needed to eat something now.”
“Haha, is that so? Same here, hehe.”
“Right? For rankers like us, it can’t be helped, you know? Still, thanks to the connectivity device managing our bodies, otherwise, I’d be all flabby, you know?”
“True. As expected of Aisha!”
Yena was absolutely thrilled.
Maybe that’s why.
Normally, she would have been cautious, but her guard around Aisha seemed to have lessened.
Even her questions.
“By the way, was that your little brother earlier?”
“…Huh? Doongsaeng?”
“I overheard while receiving the delivery; I heard you say our little brother~. I thought you mentioned being an only child, so I wondered if I was mistaken.”
“Aha!”
Little brother, huh.
It’s not entirely wrong, but it’s not entirely right either.
Not even close.
“Hmm. To be precise, it’s not a biological little brother, but more like a soul mate bound by a sticky friendship…?”
“Oh? What kind of person is your soul mate?”
“A reliable companion and friend? A comrade to fight side by side. Someone beautiful inside and out who matches perfectly with, well… Phew…”
“Miss Yena?”
“…Ah! I fell asleep again.”
“Are you okay? You look tired.”
“Hehe, I’ll be sleeping soon. Aisha, enjoy your late-night snack~”
“Aisha?”
“Aisha! Just a shorthand~”
Yena hummed a tune, lightly skipping as she opened the door to the lake at God’s house.
In an instant, Aisha found herself alone. She glanced at the cold bag and checked the elevator.
The elevator stopped at the 17th floor.
It’s confirmed.
“It really was true.”
Lily Elbrite lives on the 17th floor of this apartment.
In the same appearance as Deoen.
■
The next day, Yena, feeling awkward, received the Green Hermit.
For reference, Yena couldn’t even lift her head, seemingly embarrassed by the drunken antics from last night.
“Lift your head up. Sister.”
“…Please stop.”
“You asked me to call you sister. Sister. Sister sister sister.”
“Ugh!!!”
Puff.
Thus, Yena became a runaway ninja once again.
Anyway, she finally collected all eight masterpieces.
[World Quest – Completed the Legend of Talikal Kingdom.]
[You can now instantly move to Drak’s Forge.]
[Would you like to move?]
“Not yet.”
Gotta turn on the broadcast.
Masterpiece quest completed_
[O]
[Lilha Lilha]
[ㄹㅎ]
[Masterpiece quest done?]
[Wow, what a surprise hahaha]
[In the end, Yena’s land was taken ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Runaway ninja cut?]
[Let’s dive into the legendary!]
[How much are eight masterpieces worth?]
[At least demon sword level, I bet.]
[Lilha!]
“Lilha~ Welcome.”
I waited for the viewers while spinning the Green Hermit that I had just retrieved.
Swish.
Still spins well.
[Yena ran away, but how did you get it back?]
“How did I get it back, you ask? There are always ways.”
Reality doesn’t allow for running away.
“First of all, the quest completion popped up, but I’m not sure how this will pan out.”
The trial of the Multicolored Successor is still ongoing, and I have no idea if this will merge together or if the masterpieces and rewards are separate.
The only way to find out for sure is to meet Drak.
[Let’s go go go go go]
[Let’s dive in, dive in, dive in]
[ㅃㄹㅃㄹㅃㄹㅃㄹ]
[Wow, million threshold surpassed again]
[Ha!]
Ding!
[Would you like to move to Drak’s Forge?]
“Yes.”
As soon as I accepted, I was swiftly transported in front of the forge.
I moved to
The forge looked more ordinary than I expected.
It was not much different from my previous workplace, both in size and appearance.
The area around the forge was filled with neatly arranged grass.
The location… is it an island?
‘No.’
Clang. Clang. Clang.
It’s the sky.
Specifically, the forge is located on a Sky Island.
[Oh]
[It’s a Sky Island]
[???]
[Isn’t this the first time on a Sky Island?]
[Where is this?]
“It’s a Sky Island. It doesn’t seem like it’s on the continent…”
Given the high altitude and the absence of the continent’s distinct mana and energy, it seems to be an island located on a different continent.
As I opened the door to the forge, I saw a gray-haired man hammering away.
“…You’re already here?”
“Didn’t you already predict this?”
I know he has foresight abilities.
Thud! Drak put down the smelting hammer and wiped his face with a towel.
“The only future I see is the destruction of Talikal. No other qualifications were permitted.”
“Who granted you that permission?”
“Curious?”
“Yes.”
Drak’s secret.
He’s not a celestial, but he has inherited the powers and abilities of the Celestial Race.
Someone from the past bestowed the mission and power to prevent the destruction of Talikal upon Drak, and it has continued to this day.
Even when I asked about making the White Guardian, he said it wasn’t the right time to tell…
“I’m sorry, but it’s still not the right time to speak.”
“Even after gathering all the masterpieces?”
“Gathering them doesn’t mean I can tell you. Conversely, even if you haven’t gathered them all, if the time comes, I can speak.”
“Hmm…”
I’m curious though.
[Give it to the loser]
[If you lose, wouldn’t you say it?]
[Since he doesn’t know the future where he’s getting hit, let’s just hit him once and think about it ㅋㅋㅋ]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
“By the way, were you originally here? I think you made it somewhere else last time.”
If I remember correctly, he was at a forge near Talikal, and now he’s unexpectedly on a Sky Island.
Even a Sky Island located high above a different continent.
“I originally work here. I only come down when looking for a suitable person.”
“Got it. So what should I do now? I brought them over.”
“Just put them over there.”
Drak casually gestured with his chin to the back of the forge.
At the spot where a regular crucible used to stand, eight anvils had suddenly taken its place.
Each anvil had the name of a masterpiece inscribed on it.
The first masterpiece, the Multicolored Successor.
“Come to think of it, the trial hasn’t ended yet. Can we just proceed?”
“Hmm? Proceed? What do you mean?”
Thud. Drak, carrying something heavy, set it down in the area where the anvils were gathered.
“I’m not gathering the masterpieces to create a powerful weapon. They simply need to be in that place.”
“All you have to do is just stand there.”
“Uh-huh?”
“What’s up? Guess I didn’t need to worry after all.”
[?]
[Oh]
[So it’s not broken then?]
[Demythologizing + 8 Mythologies?]
[??????]
[Yena is super happy LOL]
[Yena, why did you run away?]
[Breaking News: Yena is laughing like a crazy person]
[So does Black get it back then?]
“Black won’t get it back.”
The exchange is already over, and this exchange was earned by taking the price that the Heavenly Horse should have received.
I have no reason to give it to them, and I shouldn’t.
[Ah haha]
[Black’s blood tears]
[LMAO]
“Just give me one leftover masterpiece.”
Putting the Multicolored Successor on the anvil, a whooshing sound echoes, and the multicolored aura gently illuminates the anvil.
Soon, the anvil radiates with colorful lights.
[■■■! Using the Mysterious Crafting Table.]
[The Mysterious Crafting Table creates results without consuming the used materials.]
[The Mysterious Crafting Table can only be used once per combination method.]
[World Quest – The combination method for ‘Light of Transcendence’ is added as a reward for ‘The Legend of Talikal Kingdom’.]
[You are the first user to come in contact with the Mysterious Crafting Table!]
[You have been given the title of ■■’s Creator.]
[Light of Transcendence (Transcendence) = Multicolored Successor (Registration Complete) + ? + ? + ? + ? + ? + ? + ?]
“Oh.”
A lot came out.
First, this place with eight anvils is called the Mysterious Crafting Table, where you can create finished products without consuming materials.
I am the first to discover the Mysterious Crafting Table, and judging by the lack of proper markings, it seems like a system that appeared only after the Great Cataclysm.
There are indeed existences within Deoen, but most of the unactivated system markings appeared in that way.
Moreover, the grades of the combined items are quite unusual.
[Transcendence?]
[???]
“Oh crazy.”
“What rank is Transcendence?”
[Mysterious Crafting Table?]
“Oh shit.”
“It seems like it’s the next rank after Mythology?”
“Wow, this is insane LOL.”
“Transcendence is crazy, right?”
“Light of Transcendence, damn LOL, seems way stronger than expected.”
“Wow.”
“What is Light of Transcendence?”
