“What is the Light of Transcendence?”
“The origin of masterpieces. The first mission and the source of everything.”
“Source?”
“There are things I received when I was first given the mission. Just like the Metamorph that enters the White Guardian, and other powers as well.”
Thunk!
In the center, a pile of something that looked like white wood was stacked up.
“To put it more accurately, you can see it as a transmission from the source. It’s inheriting great power.”
“Oh… it looks pretty amazing.”
“Well, it does, but…”
“But?”
Cough!
“…to put it plainly in the words of outsiders, it’s ‘enhancement material.’ You can choose one masterpiece to raise its ‘tier.'”
“Tier? Are you talking about rank?”
“Exactly.”
[Oh]
[Rank?]
[So I can enhance one of the 8 to transcendent level?]
[Transcendent masterpiece??]
[Definitely white]
[Let’s go white]
“It’s enhancement material… so one will definitely change for the better.”
There are 8 masterpieces.
You can enhance one with the Light of Transcendence, and that masterpiece will attain the transcendent rank beyond myth.
Naturally, the performance of the weapon and any powers associated with it would increase significantly.
The masterpiece I primarily use is the White Guardian, so of course it makes sense to use it here, but…
“Hmm… what to do?”
[This is white]
[Whiteeeeeeeeeeeeeee]
[For a weapon, white is the priority]
[Isn’t multicolored the best? Let’s try enhancing multicolored]
[Multicolored]
[How about yellow? If I enhance yellow, the stats will surely go up just from slashing]
[Red isn’t bad either]
[How about silver?]
[No, white comes first]
[Let’s enhance green and give it to Yena]
[?]
[If I enhance black and give it to Black, the Black Moon might accept it lol]
[What about black?]
[Why is no one caring about green?]
The White Guardian.
A weapon made for me, capable of transforming into a spear or hammer at any time.
It has the advantage of changing its form whenever I want and the unique quality of fully containing my holiness, but that’s about it.
‘There’s no special power itself.’
Clang!
I place the Silver Purifier on the second anvil.
The second anvil absorbed the gentle shine of the masterpiece and turned silver.
The question mark of the combination method disappeared, and the Silver Purifier was registered.
Next, I put the Yellow Raider on the third anvil.
“I’m not planning to use it for the White Guardian.”
[?]
[???]
[Why?]
[Huh?]
[Then make green and please give it to Yena]
“The White Guardian is useful, but it lacks special abilities compared to other masterpieces.”
The inheritance of the Multicolored Successor that calls upon the powers of the mythic age.
The purification of the Silver Purifier that demonstrates strong power against the undead and vampires.
The yellow raider’s “plunder” steals the stats or power of its opponent.
Beyond that, there are various unique traits like guidance, seclusion (cutting), destruction, and protection, but the ability of the white guardian is all about “transformation.”
Enhancing the white guardian just means it transforms faster or accepts holiness better.
That isn’t particularly helpful for me.
“Right?”
“Well… it’s not incorrect, but it’s also not exactly correct. Using the light of transcendence will make any masterpiece exhibit superb performance.”
More so than you can imagine.
“However, as you said, a masterpiece is a weapon with will. Its unique abilities may improve, but it won’t gain entirely new powers.”
“So what masterpiece do you think is best to use, Drak?”
“Of course… the first one.”
The very first masterpiece created by Drak, the great artifact that prevented the first destruction of Talikal.
“If used with the multicolored successor that summons the power of the mythic era, the strength gained through trials will be maximized. It won’t even be comparable to other masterpieces.”
“The first one.”
The first, huh… that’s one candidate.
If only the Kraken trial hadn’t happened, it would’ve been quite a strong candidate, but I’m still pondering.
Let’s make it first and decide later.
Clang!
Ding!
[Light of Transcendence (Transcendence) = Multicolored Successor (Registered) + Silver Purifier (Registered) + Yellow Raider (Registered) + ? + ? + ? + ? + ?]
Next is the red…
[But wouldn’t it be better with white?]
[Can’t we just do it with white?]
[Green green green green]
[It would be great if the weapon got stronger]
[It’s going to be a great cataclysm soon, so let’s just go with white and make it stronger]
“Applying it to a weapon isn’t that good.”
The fact that an ‘α’ (Transcendence) grade will emerge after the great cataclysm is something I’ve already revealed.
That means at some point, I might gain another transcendental-grade weapon.
Instead of creating an ambiguous transcendental-grade weapon now and then it becoming useless later, I think it’s better to use something more like an artifact that can be used together.
It’s not that I can’t use two weapons simultaneously, but I’d rather not prefer it.
Sree…
The power of the red guide seeped into the fourth anvil, and afterwards, I placed other masterpieces, excluding the white.
The last one.
[The white guardian is quietly looking forward to this.]
Only Drak’s eighth masterpiece, the white guardian remains.
I feel the will of the white guardian shaped like the spear in my hand.
“You shouldn’t expect too much.”
[The white guardian looks dejected.]
[LOL]
[So cute]
[Dejected]
[Let’s combine it~]
“Well then, I’ll put it in.”
Clack.
■■!
[■■■!! Using the Mysterious Crafting Table!]
[To use the Mysterious Crafting Table, you need 20 ‘Mystical Woods’ or 5 ‘Mystical Iron Logs.’]
[Please place the consumable materials on the Crafting Altar.]
[Checking the altar…]
[20 Mystical Woods will be consumed.]
“?”
Could it be that what Drak stacked earlier was wood?
Turning to Drak, he nodded in my direction as if it was a given.
“Normally, you would have to gather this, but since you’re in a hurry, I’ve made an exception. Be grateful.”
“Didn’t you say the materials wouldn’t be consumed?”
“Mystical materials are different. This acts like fuel for the crafting table.”
“Aha.”
From the chat window and Drak’s response, it seems these materials could only be obtained after the Great Cataclysm.
If I can obtain the materials, maybe this crafting table can be used by other players too.
“Can other Outsiders use it too?”
“If they have the materials and the crafting method, it is definitely possible. But they need to come here themselves.”
[Oh]
[Free crafting once, easy peasy ㅋㅋㅋ]
[I wanna do that]
[Easy peasy indeed]
[Looks like Mystical Woods and Iron Logs are super expensive]
[I can see ‘Future’ being mined in the hunting ground…]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[□Recipe / Light of Transcendence (Transcendence) = Multicolored Successor + Silver Purifier + Yellow Raider + Red Guide + Green Hermit + Black Destroyer + Blue Guardian + White Guardian]
[The recipe matches the registered materials!]
[Starting the combination.]
Vwoooom!
The white woods are incinerated, and eight colorful anvils emit light.
The lights gather together and head towards the center where the wood is burning.
The lights merge into one, rising high like an aurora.
The flashing lights were incomparable to a random box.
Flash!!!
Flash!
[□□! ‘Light of Transcendence (Transcendence)’ has been crafted!]
[Outstanding Achievement! One additional ‘Light of Transcendence (Semi-Legendary)’ has been crafted with a rare probability.]
[You’ve earned the title: Create one, get one free!]
I made two lights.
“…What!”
“Huh?”
Two were supposed to come out from the combination!
Though it seems to be of a lower tier than transcendent level, it’s still the same Light of Transcendence.
Considering I received a title, it feels like I hit a ‘Crafting Jackpot’…
“This is amazing.”
“…You’re absurdly lucky.”
Drak’s expression turned serious.
[What the heck?]
[No way, cheating!]
[LMAO]
[What’s this service from the start?]
[Please, that’s Yena, please, that’s Yena, please, that’s Yena, please, that’s Yena!]
[Wow! 1+1!]
[Ah, if lucky, it’s Lily!]
[Big Lily!]
[Such a dog poop!]
[Isn’t it because Lily is with Kiki?]
[Kiki?]
Phew!
─Kiki?
“I’ve been kind of lucky lately, but I didn’t expect this.”
Honestly, I think my luck isn’t that great.
You can’t really call it good luck when I’ve experienced way too many unfortunate things.
But things turned out this way because of Kiki, who has the ‘Luck’ Blessing from Kiki Island.
Kiki, an ancient race shaped like a slot machine.
Kiki seems happy to finally shine again, spinning around me and rolling the slot machine recklessly.
By the way, Kiki’s slot machine always comes up with 777.
Drak looks at Kiki with dark eyes.
“The chances of getting hit by a natural lightning bolt were probably lower, so how…”
“What happens now?”
“……”
“Drak?”
“…It’s done. After all, there’s only one Transcendence. You can use one on each of the two masterpieces.”
“Can’t you use two on one?”
“Didn’t I say? Only one Transcendence is possible per masterpiece.”
[This is so sweet!]
[Multiple colors, white?]
“At this rate, it’s fine to go with white; it’s excess anyway.”
“Let’s go with white~”
“Please make it green and give it to Yena!”
[Yena Yena Yena!]
“Why are there so many Yena stans now?”
[LMAO]
“I don’t want to give green just out of spite, right, Lily? LOL”
“Should we? Oh?”
While checking the item description in the chat window, I discovered something strange.
Looking at this now…
