After hearing the instructions from Ertarn, I returned to the floating island Aether.
While the giants who were talking to the God felt a disturbance and came looking for me, they fell flat on their faces and were greatly relieved that the God had been freed from the nightmare.
“Now, there’s no need to change the dream.”
The God’s nightmare is over.
Ertarn will not repeat the memories of that day, nor will the chiefs of each tribe gather to modify the dream anymore.
Of course, among those who came were members of the Black Eye tribe, whom I had attacked, so they showed a bit of wariness…
“It’s okay. They’re nice.”
With just one word from the God, they bowed their heads and sent me off.
“Bwaaahh…”
“Good job, Jeokhye.”
“Die… really die…”
Jeokhye, who returned to Aether with me, was in such a wobbly state that she couldn’t gather her wits.
In fact, most of the credit for this quest goes to Jeokhye.
Just a little alteration could make immersion progress, and especially after the last war, a great deal of mental energy would have been required to break the immersion.
If she hadn’t been a celestial being who had lived for an astonishing 700 years, it would have been impossible.
[You did well, Jeokhye]
[Frog hahahaha]
[I thought you would betray me, but surprisingly nice hahaha]
[F*ck you]
[Looks like we don’t need to eat Frog Gumi]
[Shall we go to the Main Temple next time?]
[It would have been great if you had killed it]
[Are we heading to Teshiniria now?]
[Yena, stop her, Lily]
[hahahahahahaha]
[It’s gone crazy]
“Now go get some rest. Later, I’ll personally visit the Main Temple to give my thanks.”
“Yeah…”
Jeokhye wobbled and boarded the white crane that had a single strand of green fur. The crane glanced at Jeokhye and took off into the sky.
It seems I won’t be coming here again for a while before the second episode opens.
“The only place we can go right now is Teshiniria. Blodia and the Main Temple are connected, but we don’t have the Holy Seal.”
I thought clearing a world episode would give some clues, but there was nothing like that.
If I don’t obtain the Holy Seal, I can’t go to another dimension, so I’ll likely need to search within the continent for that.
[Teshin, go!]
[Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!]
[Wasn’t that a bit much?]
[Let’s solidify our base, Lily.]
[No, it’s bad, Lily.]
[hahaha]
[What about that Golden whatever?]
“Well, I will go to the Golden Sky someday, but those raccoons are bothersome.”
It’s the place where the raccoon, who has the status of Administrator, lives.
Right now, it’s the place I want to explore the most, but considering the ‘Administrator’ trait, it could be quite dangerous.
Considering that trait, it could be quite a dangerous place.
Without the raccoon’s help in the Kraken battle, we wouldn’t have been able to catch it.
Uuuh…!
A blue portal opened.
If the owner of the Holy Seal is within Aether for a certain period, they can open a portal leading to Deoen.
“First, let’s go back.”
I think it would be better to rest a bit rather than jump into another dimension right away.
It’s stable after catching the Kraken and Scorpio, but the continent is still under attack from disasters.
[Hahahahahahahaha]
[Lololololol]
[Yena’s land, what’s up?]
[Seriously, Yena talks too much.]
[For real lol]
[This is getting crazy.]
[It’s serious though, lol]
[Let’s pick up on the hints, guys.]
[Yena’s…!]
[Manager, get rid of that parrot!]
[It’s not even a collaboration, just stop mentioning it;;]
“…? Why does Miss Yena keep talking?”
“Hehehe…”
“?”
We returned to the Deoen Continent through the dimensional portal.
It was an island with a small temple, but in one corner of the temple, a crazy person was just laughing and fiddling with something.
“…Miss Yena?”
[?]
[Hahahahahahahaha?]
[Yena?]
[Huh?? Hahaha]
[She was definitely somewhere else just 30 minutes ago.]
[Why is she here after messing around?]
[What’s going on lol]
Now that I look closely, it’s not a crazy person but a crazy cat.
Yena, with her hair all disheveled, spun around and looked at me with teary eyes.
“Liiiiilysiiiii??”
“What are you doing?”
“Lady Lily!!”
Whoosh! Yena dashed towards me at high speed.
As the current level ranking second and a cat beastman, she was incredibly fast.
I blocked her with one hand, even though she had become stronger than Jeokhye, who is called the hero of this world.
With my hand gripping her head, Yena flailed her arms around.
‘She’s gotten stronger?’
Did she catch something amazing?
“The world has abandoned me! Is Lady Lily abandoning me too!!”
“…Huh?”
“Wahhhh!”
“???”
What on earth is this situation?
To calm the sobbing Yena, I used the Saintess’s compassion.
A warm feeling enveloped me, and as the Holy Power covered her, Yena’s state improved a bit from her earlier sobbing.
“Ugh!”
“Calm down. Tell me what happened.”
“I got scammed, meow…”
“Scammed?”
“Yes, meow…”
As I treated her to soothe her, her cat language returned.
Is Yena’s medicine treated as a “debuff”?
Thinking about it, using cat language is a natural thing for a cat beastman, so the change in speech could be considered a debuff rather than a buff.
[Yena the Cat]
[Why did you do that…?]
[Yena Yena…]
[What’s up? Why do only you guys know?]
“What’s going on with you?”
“Um… didn’t we do a joint broadcast after Lady Lily’s return broadcast, nya…?”
“That’s right.”
“I saw it, nya! Lady Lily practically jumped from level 1 to almost level 3 with an ‘increase’ item!”
“Really?”
A week after defeating the Kraken, I turned on the broadcast with Yena.
Originally, I intended to test the Kraken’s Spear, do a 4th trial, and hopefully find a location for an item.
But for some reason, Yena finished the test and suddenly disappeared.
“Weren’t you busy?”
“…I saw a possibility, nya.”
This.
Yena extends her hand.
Her hand has sharp claws like a cat.
In her hand, there were three golden coins.
“Gold coins?”
“It’s the Growth Coins, nya. Why did they introduce the ‘Altar’ this time? That Heavenly Horse went there, nya.”
“Right. It was the Sealing Altar.”
To seal the Kraken, I discovered a place called the ‘Altar of Sealing’ while looking for the Bracelet of Sealing with the Heavenly Horse.
The bracelet was taken by Candy Star and was very useful for sealing.
“The Sword Saint did release it again, though.”
Thinking back now, it’s quite ridiculous that the Sword Saint gained a hidden class at another altar with Aisha.
Yet, despite that, he insisted on releasing the seal and almost got obliterated.
I wonder what he’s up to now.
Is he still alive?
“As you know, there isn’t just one altar, nya. After the Great Cataclysm, several altars emerged, and even now, if you reach a certain level, there are a few altars you can still access, nya…”
“Is that connected to this coin?”
“That’s right, nya. This is an item that can only be found at the ‘Growth’ altar.”
Clink.
“If you use the coin, you get a random buff or effect, one of which is ‘level-based experience’, nya.”
“How much does it increase?”
“5%, nya.”
5%?
That’s more than I expected.
You might think it’s a small amount, but considering my experience points are in the hundreds of billions, that means getting a hundred billion experience points at once.
A pretty important piece of information for me back when I needed a lot of experience at level 120.
It was quite important information for me, who needed a lot of chi.
“How come I didn’t know about this? If there was such information, someone would have shared it around.”
“…Because it wasn’t efficient, meow.”
The Growth Coin doesn’t guarantee experience points.
Most of the time, it gives a ‘buff’ for a certain period, and the chance of getting experience points is low, making it hard to attempt recklessly.
“Moreover, this is something you have to buy. At the altar, I don’t know if it’s the master or a part-timer, but they charge fifty gold coins each.”
“Fifty…?”
Twenty thousand won per gold coin.
Considering the current market price of gold coins has risen to about twenty-two thousand won, that’s roughly worth 1.1 million won each.
110 million won for one gacha draw.
“It’s expensive. No matter how much money you have, that’s just too costly.”
“That’s right, meow. It’s a gacha too risky to profit from, so even though it was discovered nearly three weeks ago, not much information has spread.”
A place only upper-level users who’ve reached a certain level can enter.
At that time, I was too busy preparing for the Kraken and didn’t have the time to spare on anything else, so I didn’t know about its existence.
The community or public opinion was probably focused on the Kraken or the Sword Saint, so even if it was mentioned elsewhere, it wouldn’t have become a hot topic.
Deoen has countless hidden pieces.
“But I found out thanks to Lady Lily.”
Level proportional experience points 5%.
But what if there’s a ‘3x’ experience event added to this?
“15%.”
15%.
5% is somewhat usable, but 15% changes the game.
If I’m lucky enough to draw a few times, I could easily earn hundreds of billions in experience points.
“So I went for it. Did I fail?”
“…meow.”
“How much did you spend?”
“9…”
“900?”
She shakes her head.
“Must be 9,000 then. Spending too much on gacha isn’t great. Although you went before me, the gacha impact in Deoen isn’t that big, right?”
“……”
“9,000 is about 80 draws? That’s still not that impossible…”
[Hahahahahahaha]
[?]
[Could it be just that…?]
Yena bows her head even lower.
No way.
“900 million?”
“Meow…”
“Are you insane?”
