The space opened up, and Sre and I were flung out.
Both of us were in such a bad state that we were about to fall straight into the sea, but fortunately, there was a small island on the peaceful waters.
It looked like it was artificially made, but let’s just overlook that…
Bam!
“Oof!”
“Ugh…”
Lying on the beach, I stared up at the sky.
This is really tough.
[Oh]
[Lily!]
[Lily resurrected!]
[I thought she was dead]
[What? She’s alive]
[Wow]
[Great Lily]
[We did it, we did it~]
[How did you die? Transcendent level, whoa]
[Lily is a god! Lily is a god! Lily is a god!]
[God of Spear;;]
[The alliance is in chaos lolololol]
[Are you alive?]
“I feel like dying…”
Just a little while ago, I was able to walk, but now I can’t move even a fingertip.
And why not? I dumped every bit of power I had, down to the last drop of holy light.
I opened the inventory, something I wouldn’t normally use, and brought a healing potion to my lips.
I’ve received plenty of these from somewhere, but I never use them.
I needed more than one or two, but after chugging a few, I had recovered enough to move my body.
“Phew… I think I can live.”
As expected from a potion crafted by the system, it had some effectiveness.
[What happened?]
[Lily, you okay?]
[You just disappeared]
“I don’t know. I lost consciousness for a moment. By the way, how much time has passed?”
[About 10 minutes?]
[10]
[Around 8-9 minutes? Not long]
[Let’s check the rewards! Rewards!]
So, about 10 minutes.
I feel like I was there for at least an hour, so the flow of time must be different from that place.
“…Let’s check the rewards first.”
[Reward measurement based on conquest shares is complete.]
[You have received a large amount of experience points and a very special gold box.]
[Level up!]
[LV.119]
[Level up!]
[LV.120]
[You have obtained the title “One who reached level 120.”]
My level has gone up.
By a lot, actually.
It’s quite amazing to jump 7 levels in one go from 114.
We are in a triple experience event, so it’s easier to level up to some extent, but from level 120 onward, it requires hundreds of billions of experience points.
Even considering the triple experience, it truly demands an astonishing amount of experience.
The two level-ups were probably thanks to the raccoon’s bribe.
[Wow]
[120???????????]
[What’s with 120 lol?]
[Level number 1, oh my god lolololololol]
[120 omg]
[120, huh?]
[Just~ Great Lily]
[Wow]
[Great Emperor Lily]
[Awesome]
[So does that mean we can go to the New Continent?]
[New Continent!!]
[Shall we head out tomorrow?]
“Wait. Hold on. Let me rest a bit…”
Now, if I level up just once here, I can finally go to the New Continent that was unreachable before at level 121.
But I remember taking quite a long time to get from level 109 to 110.
I remember a long time without gaining experience points until level 110.
Now that my experience bar is about ten times larger than back then, it’s definitely going to take a lot of effort to reach 121.
“Honestly, there’s no way I can reach 121. My experience bar is in the hundreds of billions, and it’s only at 5% right now.”
Even after getting triple experience, this is the result.
For the time being, there’s going to be an experience event, but having a Kraken-class boss isn’t very common, so it might be a bit tough, right?
[Is that so?]
[ㅜㅜㅜㅜ]
[ㄲㅂ]
[I thought Lily would go to the New Continent]
[Hundreds of billions is really a wall, lol]
[What if I use that?]
[What about the other one?]
“Other one…”
Thud, thud, thud!
Something is falling from the sky.
This is…
“A leg.”
[You obtained 8 Kraken Legs (miniature).]
Eight legs the size of a person fell in front of me.
The outer surface was purple, and the inside was a brighter light pink, densely filled with pink spots.
“Let’s cook it later.”
It may look like this, but it’s almost the skin of a god-like being, and just eating it provides a significant boost.
[???]
[Hahahahahaha]
[Ingredient acquired]
[Is it Crab Season 2?]
[Aren’t you going again?]
[No, I’m asking if you’re going to eat it again, lol]
[I can’t resist octopus dishes, ooh ooh]
[Super delicious]
After eating a potion and using the tiny bit of strength I regained, I opened a space and stuffed all the legs inside.
Sre will be really happy.
By the way, the Kraken has endless regeneration, so as long as the main body is alive, I can almost eat indefinitely.
I had eaten it once before in the past. The Kraken hated it, but it was part of a bet through a duel, so there was no issue.
To the Kraken, whose size is bigger than a mountain, it was just like peeling off skin.
[You have saved the sea.]
[Title: Savior of the Sea obtained.]
[All stats increase by 30% in the sea.]
[You have defeated a transcendent being.]
[Title: One who Penetrates the Transcendent obtained.]
[Stats increase by 20% when facing a transcendent being.]
[You…]
Additionally, because I faced an ultra-world boss, I received numerous rewards.
Various titles, plenty of loot, equipment related to the sea, and so on.
Things related to the Kraken poured out, but what’s unusual is that nothing related to spirits was found.
The spirit was quite an important boss in this raid too, so it’s a bit surprising.
‘Could it be because I didn’t clear the raid?’
Thinking back, the Water Spirit King Arrowna, who used to be the original Water Spirit King, wasn’t captured and killed, and the newly crowned Naiad was still okay.
When I glanced earlier, Leo had contracted with the Water Spirit King, so… maybe the rewards went that way?
It’s a bit disappointing, but the main prize is right here.
Kuudududu…!
Something is rising up from beneath the ground.
A massive reef shoots up, and at the same time, violet energy stretches out like the legs of a Kraken, wrapping around a weapon.
“Spear.”
[You have obtained Kraken’s Spear (Ascendant).]
As promised, I got my hands on the spear that contains the Kraken.
[Oh]
[??????]
[Wait, are you giving us the spear?]
[Kraken spear?]
[Ascendant-level yasss, lololololol]
[So cool!]
[Lily has three Ascendant weapons?]
[Wow, haha!]
[Let’s try it out!]
[What kind of ability does it have?]
[Did the Kraken spear drop?!]
[Ascendant looks insane, haha]
[White Guardian just got tossed aside, lol]
“I’ll do a proper test broadcast either tomorrow or the day after. Just using it once today…”
Unfortunately, my condition is still a mess.
I also need to assess the state of the Kraken that’s on the verge of extinction.
The chat window is going wild.
There are quite a few viewers worried about my condition, but since there are so many viewers, there are also a fair number of people who aren’t part of my fan base.
They must be curious.
After all, it’s an Ascendant-level equipment that dropped from a ‘world boss’.
“I do have all three of those though.”
I grasp the Kraken’s Spear.
There’s a strange feeling coming from the suckers attached to the spearhead.
It seems like I can hear some thoughts, but since I’m not in my right state and neither is the Kraken, I can’t easily grasp what it is.
After gripping the spear, I lightly thrust it toward the reef that rose with it.
Just a simple jab without any techniques.
Swoosh!
Several legs crash against the reef and shatter it.
The reef turned to dust, and the protruding legs were sucked back into the spear with a sound like whoosh!
[?]
[???]
[Wow, what the hell]
[Crazy]
[Hahaha]
[Tentacle attack, whoa]
[That’s absurd]
[Wasn’t that just a jab?]
[It’s like a hidden job level attack]
“Oh…”
Without even trying, it attacks on its own.
Moreover, looking at my status, it seems the attack wasn’t from the Kraken directly, but rather a feature inherent to the weapon.
If the Kraken attacked, it would have smashed not just the rocks but the entire island.
It seems there are also significant stat boosts and a few hidden features as well.
I’ll probably uncover more details later when I thoroughly investigate it.
“Nice. Really nice…”
I casually tuck the spear back into space.
Did I grab everything?
So many messages flooded in, I couldn’t keep track.
[Lily is cute]
[Desuke Lily, lol]
[Even desuke Lily is adorable]
[Hahahahahahaha]
[Are you not using the White Guardian anymore?]
[Lily looks super tired]
[Good job, Lily, haha]
[Truly, big Lily has had a rough time]
[Ugh, Sword Saint!]
[You’ll kill tomorrow, right? Huh?]
“Uh… I’m going to sleep now. See you tomorrow… no, the day after…”
With that, I hit the logout button as the broadcast ends.
Blue particles engulf my body, and my soul returns to the real world.
The process of returning from Deoen’s body to the real body.
In this way, logging out can be seen not just as a movement of the mind but as a transfer of the soul.
‘Come to think of it…’
I wonder how the Sword Saint is doing?
■
Somewhere filled with golden and blue auroras, the User Management Bureau.
Three raccoons belonging to the “Access Management Team,” which manages the movement of user souls, huddled together with serious expressions discussing matters.
The topic of discussion…
“Hey, what are we going to do about this?”
“…Right?”
“What kind of mess did we get into that the 5th level shield was breached and sent into a coma? I’ve never seen anything like this.”
“What are those guys doing?”
“They’re currently caught by the Audit Team. I’m sure they’re going to get ripped apart.”
“And us?”
“If we can’t solve this, we’ll be going in together.”
Their gazes shift to a capsule in the center.
Inside the capsule lies the troubled Sword Saint, now in a coma.
“…We’re screwed.”
“But seriously, why is he pushing himself when he’s been doing so well for the last four years?”
“I don’t know. Humans are all like that. They’re just so dumb.”
“I had a feeling there would be an accident at the World Tree… Damn, I didn’t expect it to blow up on our side.”
“We should have prepared for this.”
“Forget it, just come up with an idea quickly. If we don’t solve this, we’re all getting fired.”
“Idea?”
What could there be?
The situation has already happened.
“Even if we did something stupid, just making something stupid is…”
“Then we’ll just look stupid ourselves.”
“But why do we have to solve it? The real problem is those guys misclassifying the difficulty, right?”
“Because we’re the Access Management Team. If we can’t manage access freely, then we have no meaning of existence.”
“…That makes sense, but it’s really annoying.”
Hoo.
“What about contacting the Resurrection Team? The manual says to collaborate when these kinds of things happen.”
“Don’t you know most of the Resurrection Team has moved over to Cheongsu? They were actually happy about getting any complaints.”
“…We’re screwed.”
“…….”
The three raccoons lower their heads.
There’s absolutely no solution.
If there had been a solution, they would have used it by now.
The unprecedented incident of ‘Early Resurrection of Disaster’ has long spread beyond the Management Bureau to all of Deoen.
One of the raccoons stands up and reaches for the capsule, pressing several buttons.
Not long after, with a clank, a red button popped up over the capsule.
In the end, this is the only method left.
“What are you doing?”
“If the collapsed body is causing an imbalance with the soul, there’s only one answer.”
Press!
“Just reset it.”
