Chapter 78

‘Universe dagger, Twilight knife, and Yin-yang copper mirror . Gathering these three allows entry into the Temple of the Seven Dragons . The most tricky one to activate among the three is the Universe dagger…… it seems like these guys at Crusader has a tremendous treasure . ’

Though, Crusader themselves didn’t know how amazing this rea.s.sure was . This was why they stored it in the warehouse .

As a unique-grade dagger, the universe dagger had mid to low performance, so there was no popularity as a weapon .

Universe Dagger [Unique]

– The dagger that connects heaven and earth . It can be acquired from monsters that are in the skies and on the ground at a very low chance .

[Basic stats] Health +10

[Special stats] All elemental defense increases by 10% .

[Special effects] , ,

[Universal force 1,297 . 1/10,000: Agility +1]

‘Someone must have tried gathering universal force and given up . ’

Blake smiled after looking at the universal force that was all the way up to 1297 . According to his knowledge, it required no ordinary patience .

It couldn’t be gathered from any monsters, and killing one gave not 1 but 0 . 1 universal force .

Decisively, suffering through h.e.l.l and killing the maximum 10,000 points only have 10 agility points .

There were practically no people that would do that in order to increase agility by 10 .

Though, Blake knew of the other changes that would happen once the universal force was filled . The ones who don’t know about it may think that it would only increase agility by 10, but in truth, that wasn’t the end .

‘Well, I still have a lot of time, so I can just gather it slowly . ’

Blake took the Universe dagger and nodded his head in satisfaction .

After emptying the storehouse, Blake then started gathering loot from the dead members of Crusader . He skipped the worthless items and only collected the valuable ones, and while he was in the midst of gathering them, the guild members of Crusader came back .

Naturally, they were killed the moment they came back and was chased out of the game .

Blake walked around the Crusader’s guild house like it was his own, and collected the items .

It was very frustrating for Crusader, but in the first place, there was nothing they could do .

And finally, Blake destroyed the guild stone .

Since Crusader was at guild

level 5, the guild stone’s durability was considerably high, but since there was no one obstructing him, Blake was easily able to destroy it .

The guild members were ma.s.sacred, the guild warehouse was robbed…… and the guild stone was destroyed .

At this point, Crusader was inflicted with all the damages that were possible .

The number of members One guild needed to thoroughly destroy the Crusader guild, was one .

3rd) Terriculum (3↑)

5th) Dark Dragon (1↓)

The official rankings for this month was out .

Naturally, One guild, who had showed a tremendous achievement this month, had become first in rankings after surpa.s.sing many, while the known members of the guild, Blake and Gale, became 1st and 2nd respectively .

In the InGamez power ranking, 1st to 100th represented top rankers while 101st to 1000th represented high rankers . Those within the top 10,000 were generally called rankers as well .

The power ranking for InGamez was calculated based on suitable standards, so it was very reliable and was trusted by many .

perhaps due to that, One guild, and its members Gale and Blake, shot up to the top, and this caused a lot of controversy .

The biggest one was the ‘bubble’ controversy .

There were still many people who saw One guild and their members with bias .

They all claimed that One guild, Gale, and Blake were all blown out of proportion . Many people refuted them using logical reasons, but they still did not sway until the end .

Meanwhile, Sanghyuk, who had taken both the first and second t.i.tles, didn’t have much interest in these rankings . To him, something like an InGamez monthly power ranking didn’t matter to him . Though, it would positively influence the live channel, so there was nothing bad about it either .

However, that didn’t mean that he had to try hard to maintain that ranking .

High was good, but not being on it didn’t matter either .

Just because he was ‘acknowledged’ as a top ranker, it didn’t mean that anything was changed .

Normally, a guild or a user would try to maintain their position by doing actions that contributed to the points of InGamez rankings, but Sanghyuk didn’t do that .

.

He didn’t go his way to use Blake’s avatar to do PvP, neither did he conquer new dungeons using Gale and revealed them to the public .

A ranking, was just a ranking .

Crusader had forfeited after accepting all of One guild’s request . Enduring in a situation like this practically meant that they would disband the guild, so a forfeit was a natural order of circ.u.mstances .

Sanghyuk requested 4 million gold from Crusader as compensation . Since they were not able to pay all of that in one go, he allowed for a redemption through installments, and Mutou of Crusader accepted that request .

4 million gold meant over 200 million won in real life (200K USD), but he had to accept the request if he was to maintain his cherished guild .

If Sanghyuk asked for something insanely nonsensical, then even Mutou would risk it all and hold it out, but 4 million gold was just the right spot, so he had to accept it after a bit of thought .

Sanghyuk kindly allowed them to pay back 400 thousand gold ten times over the span of 5 months . In other words, he made them work their bones out to pay him back .

In Sanghyuk’s view, he had already profited immensely just from the guild war itself . First up, he had actually levelled once more and became level 54 .

There was also the h.o.a.rd of items .

Considering that the guild war only lasted around 3 days, he had profited immensely .

‘I’ll just sell the items at a suitable price… . . and thanks to these guys gathering quite a lot of enhancement stones, I can raise the upgrade value for Ogreslayer and Silvermoon fragments . ’

Sanghyuk was able to make a satisfied smile with the things he acquired through this guild war .

The moment he came to a decision, he put them into action .

He enhanced Ogreslayer and Silvermoon fragments using the enhancement stones he got from the guild warehouse .

Since most of the enhancement stones were mid-grade, he had to use quant.i.ty over quality .

The total number of enhancement stones he had gathered was around 2,000, and Sanghyuk thought that it would be fortunate if he was able to get at least +6 on both items .

Actually, it was quite foolish to aim for a high enhancement value using enhancement stones that were low in grade . However, it wouldn’t matter for

matter for Sanghyuk even if he spent all of the enhancement stones in his hand right now .

No luck required, quant.i.ty was the best!

This action could only be done by the richest of EL .

+7 Ogreslayer

+5 Silvermoon fragments

+6 Shadow Cloak

+5 Helm of Judgement

+4 Emerald ring .

This was the result of using 740 low-grade, 1,014 mid-grade, and 4 high-grade enhancement stones .

Although this may look like a rather disappointing result compared to the investment, since enhancement was about luck, Sanghyuk didn’t care much about it . He thought that it would become better later if it didn’t work out right now .

For example, if he failed 1,000 times using mid-grade enhancement stones and succeeded with the single ‘highest-grade’ enhancement stone in his possession, that would still be an immense profit .

In other words, all that mattered was success at the right moment .

Since Ogreslayer and the Silvermoon fragments were items that needed to be switched out later, he tried enhancing them without regrets and this was the result .

‘This should do for enhancement right? Rather than that, I need to refine the Flashblack eye, but I can’t scout a jewelsmith…… . ’

Sanghyuk was looking for a jewelsmith through the Hiddenline . First, this wasn’t a thing that an NPC could craft, so he had to find a user with jewelcraft level of at least of the master rank, but he couldn’t find one even through the Hiddenline .

‘It’s about time users with master-rank production skills were appearing……’

Production-cla.s.s ancient knowledge differed in growth rates according to the talent of the user . Simply crafting many items didn’t work, and what mattered was the number of high-quality products . Simply grinding only led users up to renowned-rank at best .

(T/N: Ranks of production type goes from apprentice – senior – renowned – master – heavenly – divine)

From renowned-rank, the growth speed of the crafters would change drastically according to talent .

‘It’s a pity that I don’t remember a capable jewelsmith . ’

Sanghyuk knew of a few capable blacksmiths, but unfortunately there was no memory of any skilled jewelsmiths .

‘It’s unfortunate, but I guess the only option is to wait until the Hiddenline manages to find one . ’

The flash set would become Sanghyuk’s strength if he was able to make it, but that didn’t mean that he could allow anyone to do it .

Even if he found a renowned-rank jewelsmith, there was also the process of helping that

of helping that person learn the flash set, so it would take a lot of time for Sanghyuk to get his hands on the flash set .

In any case, he was done with all of the things that he had to do today with the end of the enhancement storm . What was left now was stuff done outside the game .

Sanghyuk was planning to edit the 1 vs guild video footage and broadcast them on today’s evening regular broadcast .

Since the footage was good, there weren’t that much to edit either .

He just had to cut a few parts out and link them all together in order to create a speedy video .

Sanghyuk finished the edits in merely an hour .

Thanks to that, there were 3 hours left until the broadcast, and as always, Sanghyuk headed to the Swordking’s Tomb in his spare time .

He was grinding spiritual pills .

To him, the Swordking’s Tomb was like a mine .

When he grinded, three hours went by in a flash . He had exited the game 10 minutes prior to the broadcast and got ready to do it in those 10 minutes .

Perhaps thanks to having become a top ranker, or that there was a rumor that today’s video would be Blake vs Crusader, the initial income of viewers was much higher than the regular broadcast a week ago .

Sanghyuk waited for around 10 minutes before playing the video .

The viewers only saw that Blake was heading to Crusader’s guild house alone, but already showed a great reaction .

The chat log scrolled down very fast .

90% of it was just cheering .

Then, Blake’s infinity mode video started .

Blake’s figure, as he wiped out the users of Crusader using a single attack on each of them, was literally like a one man army .

[Uoooooooh!]

[Slaughterer! Slaughterer! Slaughterer!]

[It’s instakill! Wow, I’m speechless . ]

[Are you sure this isn’t a bug?]

[Why would he reveal a bug so openly?]

[If it’s not a bug, how is that even possible?]

[Don’t expect common sense from One guild in the first place . ]

[Just enjoy it . I decided to enjoy everything related to One guild . ]

[Go go! Blake!]

[Crusader is trash . You’re finally being dumped . ]

Blake had overwhelmed the rumors of ‘out of proportion’ on the internet .

Today, he showed his might, as well as One guild’s through the broadcast .
