Chapter 194: The Explosion of the Flame
New achievements came to mind.
A total of 150,000 SP was retrieved from obtaining the piece to obtaining a level 14 subordinate.
It was only then that Jihoo was able to confirm Heeyeon Lee’s condition and the body of the balrog.
“Heeyeon-ah, are you okay?”
“Hoo-wook- I did get exhausted. Whoa- it’s okay to take a little rest.”
“I’m glad. Eat some potion.”
dump.
She lay down altogether.
No matter how much he used the sword that Mr. Jiyeol gave him, it was very good if it was this much against the destructive power that could cut down the Balrog of Fire in one shot.
Rather, it feels like a scam.
‘Can I make this into a skill book?’
Unfortunately, it was impossible with Jihoo’s current skills. The world she experienced indirectly was not something that could be imitated.
Jihoo approached the corpse.
It was ‘half-legged’, exactly split in half from the top of the head to the groin, but the body was still in good condition.
It may be because the body itself has a ‘gyeok’.
『Ballock of Fire [Fire/Evil] [Legend] [Lv. 14]』
: The bodyguard of King Yeomra the Great, based on the legendary Balrog’s soul that protects the forefront of the Demon King’s army. A degraded version of the battle race that has extreme physical and magical resistance and is said to surpass the devil in terms of power alone.
* [Core of Chlorination (90%)]
* [Balrog’s Body (Degraded Version)]
* [Balrog’s Resistance (Degraded Version)]
In a way, it’s simple.
However, just looking at the level, you can see that it is an incredibly powerful being, and it is actually one of the strongest races in the Demon Lord’s Army.
‘Is it because he came down as a soul? I must have weakened a lot.’
Even so, he was level 14.
It means that even if several S-class people cling to it, it is an existence that cannot be easily defeated. Of course, it’s weaker than the actual Balrog, but it’s not an existence that is absolutely weak.
If it wasn’t for Lee Hee-yeon right away, the battle would have been longer and Lerlia would have had to be summoned, and some would have been injured.
‘The name Balrog itself becomes a power.’
It was amazing.
There was no fancy modifier attached, but Balrog had strong power with just the word Balrog itself.
[Body of the Balrog (Degraded Version)]
: It is the body of a Balrog, a race of natural fighters. It includes tough leather, hard and flexible bones, unbreakable muscles, and strong regenerative powers.
Not only this.
[Balrog’s Resistance (Degraded Version)]
: Balrog’s physical resistance reduces external impact by more than 80%, and destructive power below a certain level is nullified. Magic resistance is reduced by 84%.
* All resistances are reduced by 10% due to weakening.
* Instead, 89% chloride resistance is added.
This is enough to say that Lee Hee-yeon’s splitting the Balrog in half was a miracle.
‘Lee Seon-ae and my bow didn’t work, and Kim Mi-ji’s magic didn’t work either. But why was Lerlia’s sword pierced?’
Even if 10% is weakened, 89% of the flame-related power is nullified. If that’s the case, it’s only 11% power.
‘Is it related to Magi? Or did Lee Min-ho’s thunder work on the Balrog?’
It must be because the [degraded edition] was a body reconstructed with a soul, not a real body.
‘Then how fraudulent is the real Balrog?’
The reduction rate of [Degraded Edition] is 10%.
Physical resistance 90%.
94% magic resistance.
It’s an unbelievable resistance.
In addition, in the description of the body, it is said to be [unbreakable muscle]. It is important how far this explanation applies, but if the [degraded edition] is at this level, the actual balrog may not be able to kill it no matter what it does.
“Anyway, that’s great.”
Jihoo’s eyes were fixed on Lee Heeyeon, who was still breathing.
“How did you split this?”
“I know. I didn’t know it would be me either.”
Jihoo shook his head.
Even though it was said that using one shot with full power was all, it was a great destructive force. Is it because it divides time and space itself?
‘There’s even Mr. Jiyeol’s sword there.’
Well, it might be possible with the keywords [time] and [space]. I was worried that Lee Hee-yeon’s body would support her, but at this point, it should be seen that she has matured to some extent.
‘hmm.’
I have a sudden thought.
How great it would be if this [Balrog’s body] or [Balrog’s resistance] could be given to Lee Hee-yeon. However, it is difficult to process it into a barrel and make it into armor.
First of all, the level was 14, but there was physical resistance and magic resistance, so processing itself was impossible.
‘Uncle Geoyeol is a metal specialist, so I can’t do it.’
There is no artisan that just comes to mind.
In the past, there would have been a few people, but right now… … .
‘I’m the only one who has the potential.’
The problem is that this [Balrog’s body] cannot be applied 100% to Lee Hee-yeon. If you make armor, this [Balrog’s body] or [Balrog’s resistance] goes to defense.
‘It may increase his physical ability to some extent, but it’s hard to be anything more than an incredibly good armor.’
It might be better to extract the [Balrog’s body] itself and make it into a skill book, or plant it in Lee Hee-yeon’s body itself.
‘In that case, I’ll have to throw away the rest of my body.’
that’s insanely wasteful
Can’t you separate the two?
want to get both
In addition, the [Chloride Crystal (95%)] is a waste.
“Hu- I’m worried.”
Jihoo raised his head.
Then, he saw President Jeong Woo-yeon looking at him.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two did not speak, but were reading each other’s thoughts.
President Jeong Woo-yeon wanted to make it undead, but Ji-hoo wanted to use it for equipment or other things.
each other knew that
“For now, I will keep it. I will hunt more and decide how to use it.”
“That would be nice.”
A better carcass to come.
Or maybe a better material will come out.
Jihoo put the Balrog’s corpse in the remaining inventory and moved forward. The 12th floor is quite spacious. It’s good to go as far as possible.
* * *
I met a small monster in the middle.
They looked like mountain goats, but they ran off cliffs with flames. Fortunately, there are more people in the party from distance than melee.
Piing-!
The arrow of Lee Seon-ae and Shin Ji-hoo.
Her arrows were, of course, fatal. Ji-hoo liked the arrow itself and was lethal, but with Lee Seon-ae’s teachings, he had magic power, and as a result, the [Arrow of Cold Flame] had the same power as emitting an aura.
In other words, it means incredibly strong.
Also, Jihoo’s talent has improved his bow skills incredibly. The synergy of the arrows returning on their own was amazing.
And that’s not all.
Lee Min-ho practiced how to use it in small pieces rather than one large thunderstorm, and Kim Mi-ji helped in the process.
Even though Lee Hee-yeon took a rest without doing anything, she was able to hunt 12 [Goats of Flame]. He wanted to test the power of Fentry, but there was no need to take it out this time.
『Goat of Flames [Fire] [History] [Lv. 10]』
: A mountain goat that lives on the cliffs of Hell. It feeds on adamantium, which contains the power of flame, and its horns are made of hard adamantium.
* [Horns of Adamantium]
* [Goat’s Lower Body]
* [Crystal of Chloride (63%)]
not bad.
It was level 10, but several times better than 9. Unfortunately, it was historical grade, but it was a hard horn made of adamantium and a highly concentrated chloride crystal.
In addition, there was a [goat’s lower body] with a proper name.
[Goat’s Lower Body]
: Leaping tens of meters at a time, the peak sense of balance, and the strength of the muscles that remain intact even after hanging on a cliff for days give you ‘advanced parkour ability’.
Pretty good.
In addition, since it belongs to the lower body, it will be possible to [Extract options] even after extracting the crystal of chloride after pulling out the horns.
‘Well, now if I use a little more SP, I’ll be able to upgrade [Extract Options] itself.’
There were 12 goats, so I didn’t have to do that much, but if it’s [Balrog of Flame], it’d be better to upgrade [Option Extraction] and then add SP to make full use of it.
Of course, it’s a decision to make after finding a suitable corpse to give to President Jeong Woo-yeon.
‘I need to extract one of the goat’s lower body and make it into a skill book.’
That’s enough for an A grade.
If this becomes a medium, it can be made much faster and easier than writing it down from start to finish.
Of course, it would have to consume SP, not just the witch’s power.
‘Because it’s possible to duplicate it as a lower skill book if you make one.’
skill book.
This has been more useful than I thought.
From nob le mt l. co m
Making more awakeners right away is the same, but giving abilities close to characteristics. In addition, it was interesting that by using the options from the monster’s corpse, a much more diverse and stronger skill book could be produced.
‘Maybe something I can learn from.’
The more types, the better.
It is important to remember this, but it is a way to drastically reduce the labor force of Jihoo, who writes down history itself from beginning to end.
‘Because there are many monsters with mysterious abilities even if you go to the Black Forest on the 5th floor right now.’
From nob le mt l. co m
Magic Devourer’s ability to consume magic.
Sozo’s instantaneous acceleration ability.
The floating ability of the metallic stingray.
Each and every one is special. How strong can a person become if he uses it? Even simply breathing fire is divided into different grades depending on how you use it.
‘Magical Devourer’s magic devouring is truly amazing.’
In fact, there is a famous hunter called [Magic Hunter]. I’ve heard that he’s probably been to this tower, but I’ve never seen him.
Anyway, I heard that magic devouring has the property of anti-demon that nullifies the target’s magic. Jihoo didn’t know in detail how much it worked or what effect it had, but there was a saying that any magician would become a normal person if he stood in front of him.
‘I’ll have to be careful about spraying it.’
Even if you make it, it would be better to spray only a few, or to spray after creating a skill that can be countered. Also, it would be a good way to go through a lot of quests to get it.
‘The possibility and rarity of that ability. With that, you can decide the difficulty of the quest.’
All those quests will return to Jihoo’s SP. If that happens, Jihoo will never run out of SP.
And most importantly.
The goal of this climb.
There were 12 [crystals of chloride]. It was 63 with a higher concentration than expected, so I just need to collect a few more crystals of this level.
‘I needed 20, but it wouldn’t hurt to get more if I can afford it.’
Adamantium is useless right now.
In case of emergency, it can be used as an alchemy compound, but with this much power, including Lee Seon-ae, there is nothing to consume.
Lee Min-ho is doing better than I thought, and he played a role in giving great damage, probably because he has the opposite attribute of hell.
Jihoo and the party advanced for about three hours.
“How long is this place?”
“Looking at the strategy book, it was about 22 hours on foot. In terms of distance, it must be about 90 km?”
“Awesome.”
“I can’t go at once.”
“yes?”
Jihoo thought for a moment.
The sun goes down slowly.
Besides, it’s okay to go all the way down to open the next day. I need to get some more Chloride Crystals, but… … .
Jihoo suddenly raised his head.
There were adamantium, chloride, and magnogold everywhere.
“I’ll have to extract that one first.”
Jihoo decided to divide manpower.
CEO Jung Woo-yeon said he wanted to look at the dead body of Lee Hee-yeon, and Lee Hee-yeon should rest. Lerlia was there as well.
“Seonae, Miji, and Minho, would you like to go a little further with Ifrin and Seprin? I need to get some of that from here.”
That’s how we divided the number of people.
However, the personnel who had advanced by five hours only hunted a few small goats, and there was no great result.
Only Jihoo could get enough crystals of chloride, a part of adamantium, and magno gold.
