After the Diablo Guild members arrived, Seun’s schedule, previously filled with rest and sparring in the residence, became several times busier.
“Oppa, a magic circle here too!”
“There are so many materials, it’s fun. Unni [older sister], should we build the ramparts first since this is a defense zone?”
“No, let’s plan the traps first. For sure, so they don’t collapse like last time!”
“Okay!”
– The Constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ is devising a sharp Sky Piercing Tower to punish the enemies in the sky.
– The Constellation, ‘Giant Bird,’ is devising a watchtower to detect enemies and sense hidden foes.
The first thing he did was help the twin sisters.
Just like the battle with the Black Cross Guild in Death Hill, they might end up in a guild war with another guild when they enter the next shelter.
Guild wars are a way to strengthen the guild and the only legitimate way to bring the opposing guild to its knees.
Even though there’s room for negotiation, like with the Qinghai Guild, which has been picking fights with Seun, or the Black Wing Guild, which might turn into an enemy depending on Seun’s answer.
As long as the possibility of guild wars with various guilds remains, preparations for the guild war had to be thorough.
“Turik, please.”
– Okay!
Seun helped the twin sisters install constructions and traps using various magic circles, and Turik’s power was also actively incorporated.
All the guild members who didn’t have anything else to do during the break helped with the construction, so the preparations for the guild war were quickly completed.
“Oppa, do you see any lacking parts?”
“I’ve prepared for aerial combat with this, but what do you think?”
A definite difference from before was that the twin sisters actively asked Seun for his opinion.
Was it because of the experience of the defense wall being breached in the battle with the Black Cross?
They were building more and more perfect defense facilities through various considerations and gathering opinions, wondering if they had missed anything or what would happen if the traps were destroyed by an unknown attack.
“We need to prepare defenses under the ground as well. They might attack from underground using authority or magic.”
“Ah, that’s right!”
“We need to lay a foundation in the ground too.”
“We need to prepare for climate conditions as well. Unexpected things happen in guild wars. A flood might suddenly occur.”
“We were preparing for that!”
“I’m talking to Suchang oppa [older brother] to solve it!”
Therefore, Seun also actively answered the twin sisters’ questions.
He focused especially on the Qinghai Guild and the Black Wing Guild, which were most likely to be the opponents, as well as basic precautions.
After helping the twin sisters, he visited Baekhyun’s research facility, which was built large on one side of the residence.
“Ah, Seun! You’ve come.”
“Is the research going well?”
“Of course. Thanks to the samples I got this time, every day is so busy. Haha!”
– The Constellation, ‘Death-Trampling Horse,’ praises the contractor’s forces, saying that it won’t be long before he’s called a formal legion commander.
Contrary to saying he was busy, his expression looked endlessly bright.
He was working on basic undead research, as well as methods to deal with the Outer Gods by combining meteorites and the undead.
In addition, he was researching methods that could be used in guild wars, such as attacking the residence and attacking the opponent in cooperation with the twin sisters.
“I actually wanted to ask for advice. I’m researching undead that can resist magic, but I think I have to face real magic. Wouldn’t you attack those samples with each attribute magic?”
“I will.”
– According to the mysteries of the Violet Tower, the casting speed of ‘Giga Lightning’ increases.
– According to the mysteries of the Yellow Tower, ‘Rock Cannon’ becomes more solid.
– According to the mysteries of the Azure Tower, the stability of ‘Moon Light’ is strengthened.
– According to the mysteries of the White Tower, the attribute power of ‘Shining Blade’ increases.
Kwaaang-!!
Baekhyun had already become the biggest force in the Diablo Guild.
It was an amazing development compared to when he barely raised one undead with Seun’s help during the tutorial and researched the Manticore’s corpse.
His power, which could be called a legion, would be of great help not only in guild wars but also in situations where they would face the Outer Gods, so Seun spared no support for his experiments.
“Seun, you were here. I have something to discuss; do you have time?”
“What is it?”
“Everyone has grown more than I thought from climbing to the 65th floor, so I’ve been thinking about reorganizing the team. I wanted to hear Seun’s opinion on this.”
Yuseo-ah was putting her efforts into guild management as the vice guild leader, in addition to personal training.
Honestly, this was something that Seun, the guild leader, should be doing, but she was doing it for him.
So, Seun listened to her opinions fully whenever she came to him.
In fact, her abilities were so outstanding that there wasn’t much to add, but Yuseo-ah’s expression brightened greatly just by Seun nodding.
“You were here.”
“No sparring.”
“Didn’t you fail yesterday too?”
“As you can see, I’m very busy. Help with the construction site over there, or if you’re feeling uneasy, take Park Jeongpil with you.”
“Why that guy?”
“It’s better to train with him than to destroy the ground. The biggest problem with your fist is that it’s meaningless if you can’t hit the enemy.”
“That guy always runs away.”
“That’s why he’s perfect. That guy, even though he looks like that, is good at escaping and evading. It will probably be good training.”
“……Where is he?”
“If you ask Harry, he’ll tell you right away. He’s probably hiding somewhere taking a nap.”
“I understand.”
Unfortunately, training with Kang Hancheol is a pass. Because he had so much to do, he didn’t have time to face him.
Above all, Kang Hancheol’s skills were already at the point where Seun’s guidance was no longer needed, so sparring was no longer of great help to his skill development.
So, it had no choice but to be pushed back in priority.
“Ugh, Hyungniiiiiim [term of endearment for older brother]!”
“Let’s go.”
It sounded like someone’s scream was coming from afar, but he lightly ignored it and moved towards the next schedule.
Like Baekhyun’s research facility, the treatment facility that the twin sisters had specially built.
It was Lee Haneul’s ward, which was largely divided into a research building and a treatment building.
“What about Arun’s petals?”
“I’ve finished identifying the characteristics, but it’s not easy to find the combination method. The number is small, so it’s difficult to experiment rashly.”
“If there are any materials you need, tell me anytime. I can get most materials.”
“Um, then is there any material related to divine power?”
“I only have this right now, and I’ll get it properly at the next shelter. I happen to have a few materials in mind.”
“Yes. I think I can research enough with this for now.”
Hidden dungeon found in the trial of the 62nd floor, Arun’s Root Prison.
Arun’s petals, obtained as a reward at the end of it, were difficult to find the use or application even with Seun’s power.
Therefore, this research was decided to be entrusted entirely to Lee Haneul.
Of course, her work wasn’t just this.
“Ah, and I found a new combination method this morning. Would you like to take a look?”
“Of course.”
– The Constellation, ‘Bloody Lion,’ is impressed by the contractor’s talent, saying that this is a combination method that even he didn’t think of.
“Talent? I’m still far from enough.”
The reward obtained on the 62nd floor was not only Arun’s petals.
The rewards that Seun obtained while wandering around the hidden dungeon, as well as the materials she found separately and the materials she collected with Seun.
Since they searched the entire 62nd floor as if they were rummaging through it, the amount was enough to fill several warehouses.
Thanks to that, various potions were piling up in her lab.
“What happened to Arun’s fruit?”
“Ah, that. I looked into it a bit, but I didn’t think I could handle it, so I entrusted it to someone else.”
“Someone else?”
“Yes, you’ll probably find out soon. Seun will probably be surprised too.”
Lee Haneul is the only player in the Diablo Guild who can handle alchemy. But she entrusted Arun’s fruit to someone else?
It was an incomprehensible statement, but Seun had no choice but to fully agree with her words at the meal time that came shortly after.
“Oh my god, what is this? Why is it so delicious?”
“Mijeong unni [older sister], today’s cooking is especially crazy!”
“One more bowl for me!”
“Can’t I pack some of this? It’s so delicious!”
Kim Mijeong, who can also be seen as a production player, used Arun’s fruit to create various dishes.
It seemed like it looked like a starchy crop, so she immediately used the potato recipe after confirming the taste.
At first, I thought it would be a bit of a waste to use the so-called Seonghwa Arun’s fruit for this.
– You have consumed Mijeong’s special potato pancake.
– Stamina recovery speed increases by 50% for one week.
– Stamina permanently increases by 3.
– You have consumed Mijeong’s special baby potato butter grill.
– Maximum stamina increases by 10% for one week.
– Stamina permanently increases by 3.
…….
Not at all.
Unlike the existing dishes that simply gave auxiliary effects for a certain period of time, it was a dish that permanently increased stats.
This was the first time Seun had experienced this, even after eating various dishes before his regression.
Even Seun only had three stats attached to his stamina, but that was only because Seun’s existing stats were so high.
It seemed that others had their stats increased much more than Seun.
There were various things like that, but what Seun was most looking forward to was something else.
“Elder.”
“Oh, you’ve come! I was just about to name it. I’m really confident this time. Would you like to check it out?”
“Yes.”
– The Constellation, ‘Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ is greatly satisfied, saying that it is a natural result of excellent materials combined with excellent skills.
Go Changseok handed Seun a huge scythe.
A scythe made with various high-quality rare minerals, as well as materials from mythical and spiritual beasts obtained from Arun’s Root Prison.
In particular, it was a weapon made with a focus on sturdy durability for Seun.
There was no way to fight monsters in the residence, but the way Seun could judge the condition of the weapon right now was not by defeating monsters.
– Opened the Greedy Treasure Vault.
[ Golden Wave, Chrysaor ]
– A scythe used by Demeter, the goddess of grain, it possesses power befitting her statue, which symbolizes grain rather than killing.
The power of the artifact that Go Changseok handed over was imbued.
Even though the power of a god’s artifact, not a hero’s artifact, was imbued, the scythe calmly endured the power.
Even if you swing the scythe lightly, it doesn’t crack, but it draws out the power of the artifact and shows off a golden wave.
However, the problem is what comes next.
– The Spirit Cutting Scythe bursts the energy of harvest dormant in ‘Chrysaor.’
– A brilliant golden wave is reproduced through ‘Chrysaor.’
Could it not break even after completely drawing out the true power of the artifact?
This was the most important factor.
Seun, who had completely drawn out the power of the artifact, swung the scythe greatly.
Swaaa-!
The golden wave flowing out of Chrysaor flowed in all directions.
In the place where the golden wave flowed, well-ripened grains grew like the autumn fields where a bountiful harvest has come.
It grew grains on the land of the residence, which was known to be impossible to be self-sufficient, such as raising livestock or cultivating grains.
It was truly a miracle.
It was a miracle possible because it was a weapon imbued with the power of Demeter, the god of grain.
The golden wave emanating from the scythe reached far away, and the entire residence emitted a golden light.
“……Thank you.”
“Hehe, wait a little longer. I’ll make you any weapon you want.”
Seun was able to show a satisfied smile as he looked down at the great scythe, which did not have even a small crack despite excellently drawing out the power of the artifact.
