[Charlie de Lavion (True Name)]

[Title: Former Knight Commander of Arlen Castle, Kaiser’s First Sword, Light’s Dawn, Symbol of Lavion]

[Type: Human]

[Loyalty: MAX]

[Level: LV 50]

[Traits: Knight Commander, Fluid Swordsmanship, Knight of Light, Light of Dawn, One Who Opposes the Abyss, One Who Illuminates the Darkness]

[Guardian Traits: Meritocracy, Loyalty, Trust, Cynic]

[Description: The symbol of the Lavion family and the former Knight Commander of Arlen Castle, known as the Light of Dawn.

In an era where power is needed to achieve justice and uphold beliefs.

Having lost many precious people and comrades, Charlie values skill more than anyone.

A lonely and noble knight who shouldered more responsibilities than anyone else.

But now, having met a lord he can trust and follow, he can finally resolve his long-standing resentment and lay down his responsibilities.]

[Due to the effect of the traits, all of ‘Charlie de Lavion’s stats increase when facing the Abyss, and he exerts greater power.]

…….(Expand)

‘Oh……. A lot has changed?’

Immediately, there were many new modifiers in the title, such as Light’s Dawn and Symbol of Lavion, and the trait also changed from one who wields the Sword of Light to Knight of Light.

Not only that.

Light of Dawn, One Who Opposes the Abyss, One Who Illuminates the Darkness, and so on.

‘I know that it’s common to add traits after clearing Guardian Quests…….’

Even so, usually only one is added, and very rarely, two are added.

But Charlie has a whopping three traits added.

If you consider that the trait of one who wields the Sword of Light has also changed, it’s fair to count it as 3.5.

Looking closely at the description, it was clear that this incident was heavily reflected.

‘Expand……. Is this not the end?’

Out of curiosity, Dohyun immediately pressed expand, and additional details appeared below.

[The Guardian Quest has been cleared perfectly, enhancing the rewards.]

[Charlie de Lavion’s exclusive skill ‘Sword of Light’ has awakened its true power and has been upgraded to ‘Sword of Light – Light of Dawn.’]

‘What? Exclusive skill?’

Exclusive skill.

Literally a skill exclusive to the Guardian, one of the core reasons why a Divine Beast is called an existence on a different level from an ordinary Guardian.

The ability of the Mythical Beast that Bora Ajussi [Uncle Bora] is currently handling, which swallows weapons, was also an exclusive skill.

‘The Sword of Light was good for burst damage, but it felt somewhat lacking compared to other Divine Beasts…….’

If it’s Light of Dawn, it must be that ability that inflicted a fatal wound on Garion.

As expected.

[Sword of Light – Light of Dawn]

-Rank: Legendary (Exclusive)

-Restriction: Charlie’s exclusive signature skill

-Description: The Sword of Light used by the ancestors of the Lavion family.

Only a Knight of Light called Dawn can awaken it, and it is an area that no one has reached except for the ancestors of the Lavion family.

-Effect: Focuses the mind to imbue the sword with the light of dawn that chases away darkness.

The basic effect is the same as Sword Aura, but an enhanced effect compared to the existing Sword Aura is applied, and the level is determined from 1-star to 5-star depending on the brilliance of the light.

A swordsmanship created by the ancestors of the Lavion family to fight against the Abyss, it repels darkness and exerts its true power when facing the Abyss.

Mana is consumed while maintaining it, and it is canceled when mana is insufficient or after two strikes.

-Cooldown: 30 minutes (Cooldown applied after release)

[Charlie de Lavion’s current level is 1-star.]

[Changes may occur when reaching the maximum level.]

Dohyun hurriedly checked the information and realized that it was indeed that ability.

‘Legendary……!’

Whether it was judged as legendary despite still being 1-star, or whether it was given considering that it would grow to the maximum level, he doesn’t know.

But one thing is certain…….

‘Changes may occur when reaching the maximum level……. Something extraordinary is definitely going to happen.’

Considering the description that reminds him of the Inverse Scale and the performance that drove Garion into crisis, it can’t be bad at all.

“……Charlie.”

-So, at that time, the lord aimed at him like this…… Yes, my lord.

-Huh? Why are you stopping there? It’s a very interesting part.

-Liza, Liza!

Charlie, who was chattering, immediately turned around at the cautious call and bowed his head in response.

He felt sorry for Jihad and Eliza, who were reaching out urgently, but this was more urgent.

“Can you use the Sword of Light once?”

-……Um, I understand.

In fact, Charlie was also in the midst of realizing that something had changed since the battle with Garion.

He was already curious, and since his lord Dohyun even asked, there was no reason to refuse.

[Using Sword of Light – Light of Dawn.]

[The light of dawn dwells in Charlie de Lavion’s sword.]

Swoosh-

Dohyun nodded as he watched the light subtly rising from the sword.

‘The light is definitely weak.’

What to say.

Before, it was like a light rising, parting the darkness that had settled over the sea, but now it’s like a candle hastily lit in a room where the power went out.

The light that Charlie temporarily awakened his potential and subtly rose from the sword.

It was exactly similar to that.

‘I don’t know how many stars it was when he gave Garion a hit, but he has a long way to go. Well, you can’t be full from 1-star.’

The first form of the Inverse Scale, Beginning, is also the most basic footwork.

It was useful in terms of usability.

The performance itself wasn’t that great.

Thinking that way, Charlie was quite good.

Slash-! Swish-!

Roar- Roar!

-Oh, what is it. Charlie is flying around?

-Lizariliza.

-Certainly, is it easy to deal with ogres after fighting that Garion or something? He’s slicing them like he’s slicing radishes.

Charlie’s attack power still had shortcomings.

Among them, the cutting power was noticeably increased.

——-!

Roar!

In particular, it shined when he delivered a finishing blow.

The light flashed for a moment, and all the ogres within a 6M [6 meter] straight path were swept away.

[You have defeated an ogre.]

[You have defeated an ogre.]

…….

[You have defeated an ogre.]

‘Wow, the effect is certain.’

It’s similar to the Flying Flower of the Flowing Water Flying Flower Sword, but the power contained within it was more than that.

Considering that it was only 1-star, he was happy just imagining how much stronger he would become in the future.

“Or is it because of this?”

Dohyun, who muttered softly, glanced sideways.

There were a total of two rewards for the Guardian Quest.

Traits and Sword of Light enhancement due to awakening.

[Acquired the exclusive equipment, ‘Symbol of Light,’ as an enhancement reward.]

[Symbol of Light]

[Rank: Legendary (Exclusive)]

[Description: A family heirloom passed down through generations in the Lavion family.

A relic of ‘Kasha de Lavion,’ the ancestor who founded the Lavion family, and can only be possessed by those recognized as the best Knight of Light in the family.

Kasha’s power remains, enhancing the power to handle magic and light.]

[Will of Light: Has high resistance to darkness and the Abyss. In addition, abnormal statuses received when engaging in battle with them are reduced by 80%.]

[Master of Light: Increases affinity with the light attribute, and all light-related effects handled by the wearer are increased by 30%.]

And the Charlie exclusive legendary equipment, the Symbol of Light, which is said to be a family heirloom.

The 30% increase in light-related effects attached to the last Master of Light option was clearly applied to the Sword of Light.

Considering that both the power and size are unusual, both must have increased.

This will be even more noticeable as the level of the Sword of Light increases in the future.

‘Hmm, it’s generally disappointing compared to when I fought Garion…….’

In fact, it was absurd to compare it to that time.

At the time, the Last Knight, who had obtained buffs while proceeding with the Guardian Quest and reacted to specific situations, had temporarily given tremendous buffs.

Even now, after clearing the Guardian Quest and jumping several steps, it was inevitable that it would be lacking compared to that time.

‘Still, this is good enough.’

If he mixes the Flying Flower of the Flowing Water Flying Flower Sword and each skill well, Charlie will now be able to take on the role of a proper dealer [damage dealer].

‘Especially when facing the Abyss, he will be very reliable.’

There are many abilities that make him stronger when facing the Abyss or darkness.

As Dohyun, who will have many opportunities to confront the Abyss in the future, a satisfied smile was naturally drawn on his face.

Moreover, this was not the end.

[Using the Guardian ‘Charlie de Lavion’s random skill ticket.]

[Acquired the Hero skill, ‘Lion’s Roar.’]

[Lion’s Roar]

-Rank: Hero

-Restriction: Knight Class

-Description: A knight’s qualification depends on how well he protects his lord.

The skill to subdue opponents is essential for a knight.

-Effect: Contains the energy of a lion and lets out a brave roar, putting targets within a certain distance into a ‘stun’ state for 2 seconds.

The effect may be halved if the target’s level is high.

-Cooldown: 16 seconds

The random skill ticket that Charlie obtained after reaching level 50.

He used it to acquire his first CC skill (crowd control skill).

‘Lion’s Roar……. It’s one of the best skills for knight-class abnormal statuses. He got something good.’

The range is very short, so it’s mostly used when dealing with bosses or when aggro is drawn to clerics for a short time.

But if the conditions are right, it’s a skill with a definite secret that can inflict wide-area stuns.

Charlie, who had been grabbing aggro [drawing attention] with excellent speaking skills (?) and fluid swordsmanship without any aggro-related skills or effects, was given a confirmed CC skill?

It was like giving wings to his cynicism.

[Available Skills: 6]

-Sword of Light – Light of Dawn (1-star)

-Armor of Protection

-Oath

-Strong Will

-Last Knight

-Lion’s Roar

‘Good.’

Charlie now has a total of 6 skills.

Dohyun felt proud for no reason, even though it seemed like he only had one skill just the other day.

And Jihad was looking at Charlie with envy, drooling.

-Wow…… I’m jealous. I like legends too……. I can awaken well too……. I can use legendary equipment well…….

-Liza? Lizariliza!

-……Eliza. Your clothes are cute too, of course, but it’s a bit much to compare them to that.

-Liza? Liza…….

Eliza, who was pointing to the clothes she had received from Dohyun this time and appealing that she had also obtained something good, became sullen at Jihad’s fact bomb [undeniable truth].

-It’s good to grow alone, Charlie? Hmph, we who fainted don’t even get scraps, huh? Sniff, we live so sadly, Eliza.

-Li, Liza!? Liza…….

-Ahem. Won’t your time come someday?

Eliza, who had fainted with him, flinched and lowered her head, perhaps feeling guilty.

Dohyun shook his head as he looked at the two deflated guys.

He thought that those guys’ skits were always the same.

Well, he couldn’t say he didn’t understand Jihad’s feelings.

‘Charlie is growing too much.’

He has two legendary equipment and two legendary skills.

Moreover, one of them was a kind of growth-type skill that gets stronger as the level increases.

He even gained the concept of becoming stronger when he meets the Abyss.

Jihad had been ahead recently, but suddenly he was caught up and the gap widened, so he must be feeling sick to his stomach.

‘I need to pay attention to that guy now.’

Jihad, who handles the legion, was still the best force if he grew well.

And honestly, he was also curious.

‘He’s still level 48…….’

The real deal for Divine Beasts starts after clearing the Guardian Quest.

Until now, he thought that Charlie was still a bit lacking among the Divine Beasts, but this incident made it clear.

Charlie was not lacking at all compared to other Divine Beasts.

‘If he’s growing slower than that Charlie, how good of an awakening is he trying to get?’

Of course, in Charlie’s case, he had to take into account that he had grown explosively because he had cleared the Guardian Quest perfectly.

Even if Jihad’s species value is higher, if he clears the Guardian Quest poorly, he may get crap abilities.

But this means differently.

‘If he awakens well, a real jackpot could explode?’

At that time, it might not end with a legend.

At this point, his heart was pounding with curiosity and anticipation about what kind of Guardian Quest would appear.

But that was only for a moment. Dohyun soon shook off his thoughts.

‘Let’s think about it later.’

Finding a Guardian Quest is as hard as picking stars in the sky unless it’s a well-known Divine Beast.

That’s why the owners of Divine Beasts jokingly call Guardian Quests opportunities.

But at the same time, it’s also inevitable, so there was no need to worry in advance.

There was something more important than that now.

‘Now that I’ve finished all my business…… Shall we go?’

Dohyun smiled as he looked at the quest window floating in the left center.

[The Missing Piece of Fate (1)]

‘To find the whereabouts of the Piece of Fate.’

Gamillion Adran.

It was time to talk to him about the main quest.

* * *

……To put it bluntly.

Despite the bold start, he couldn’t meet Gamillion.

To be exact, there was no chance to do so.

Buzzing-

“Huh?”

“Wow.”

“Hey, hey, quickly make way.”

“Wow, jackpot…… It’s my first time seeing him in person. The force is amazing.”

The moment Dohyun stepped out of the warp and arrived in the city.

People were buzzing, and then countless crowds began to split in half like the miracle of Moses from far away.

And an old man standing alone and nobly above the split.

“You were here. I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Where have you been wandering around, only showing your face now?”

A gentle impression and a relatively small build.

But the old man, from whose voice complaining with a click of his tongue, felt a strange power, was someone Dohyun knew well.

“……Sword Emperor?”

The continent’s best sword, hiding a giant tree and a mountain lord in an ordinary build.

Sword Emperor, Garfield Drew.

He was waiting for Dohyun.
