Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

# 100

100. The day after Niflheim (12)

.

I wondered how Jenna would react to Aaron’s disappearance, but Jenna said nothing. He just nodded at me.

“Aaron oppa told me separately. I might not be able to come back for a while.”

Jenna did not ask for details.

If I could say something, I asked him to tell me that I was cheering for him. along with waiting. I contacted Yurnet.

[It’s as simple as that.]

Yurnet laughed out loud.

And time passed.

The training ground on the 13th floor.

The metal hit and sparked.

“It’s almost unrecognizable.”

Lydegion said in a low voice.

In the meantime, my sword moved.

The first time I fought, I couldn’t cut a single hem of Ridigion’s robe.

But now

thump!

Ridigion’s body, which prevented the slash, was pushed back.

It was about a step away, but my sword attack was definitely giving me an effective hit. I immediately returned the sword and continued the attack. Duduk. The muscles of the whole body reacted.

“I could die at this rate.”

“What is Um-sal?”

I laughed and turned around and drew my sword.

Boooooong! The blade that tore through the wind violently struck the side of Ridigion. Lidigion raised his sword and let it go, but the body could not be stopped from being pushed away. The floor where Lidigion was standing dented and a stone fragment jumped out.

“…”

Lidigion, who had been pushed out, returned to his stance.

I straightened my sword and said.

“Is this good enough?”

“It seems that the Master’s goal has been achieved.”

I got my breathing right.

Every muscle in his body was trembling. Every time he swings his sword, his body moves as if responding. It was a sensation I had never felt before.

“Keep that feeling in mind. It will become your master’s strength.”

I nodded and muttered.

‘Status window.’

A familiar hologram came to mind.

[Han Israt (★★★) Lv. 20(Exp 13/160)]

[Class: Warrior]

[Strength: 45/45]

[Intelligence: 10/10]

[Stamina: 41/41]

[Agility: 39/39]

[Possessed Skill: Intermediate Swordsmanship (Lv.1) Divine Sword (Lv.1) Mind’s Eye (Lv.6) Fire Resistance (Lv.3) Pain Resistance (Lv.5) Calmness (Lv.6) Berserk (Lv.7) Indomitability (Lv.2) Dragon Slaughter (Lv.1) Equestrian Art (Lv.1)]

The level did not change. The same 20 as when he came back.

The stats didn’t change either. However, other parts have changed significantly.

The weapon skill was raised from the low level swordsmanship level 8 to the intermediate swordsmanship level 1, and the skill separation was completed by borrowing the Elixir of Awakening. Although he lost a great deal of skill with the shield, his understanding of swordsmanship deepened. And that’s not all.

‘Warrior.’

I finished my job transfer.

Under the name column, the class name of warrior was clearly written. With this, I got the qualification to evolve the 1st skill. Due to the penalty of my job, I lost my stealthy movement skills, but it didn’t suit me anyway, so I didn’t have any regrets.

‘Pain-tolerant, calm, frantic, indomitable.’

Other useful passive skills also rose by 1 level.

All of this was the result of 20 days of training. After seeing Aaron off, he devoted himself to training and sparring from morning till night. Lidigion gave me advice and education without falling apart. Even if you give up your own training.

Thus, the goal was achieved much faster than expected.

‘The difference between having a teacher and not having one is huge.’

I felt desperate.

No matter how talented you are, self-study has its limits. Even if you are a genius without limits, having a teacher is many times better. All the more so if the quality of the teacher is excellent.

“Is today over here?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

The final goal, the new sword union, was achieved last night.

Today was just a brief test of its performance. Lidigion folded his sword and bit his lips as if regretting it.

“It won’t be long until the Master passes away.”

“About four days left?”

“It’s a pity. You only stayed for a month. Even if you only had 1 year, no, at least 6 months…” ”

Your body will rot if you stay that long, hey.”

Training isn’t bad, but combat is more important than that.

I felt that my sense of actual combat was gradually rusting as I was confined to one place and only wielded my sword. That’s why I can’t do Niflheim’s mission.

“How’s Jenna?”

After parting with Ridigion, I said.

The space next to it became blurry, and a person jumped out. It was Nisled.

“Currently, we are working on training in the special building on the second floor.”

“result?”

“After completing a job transfer as a thief, I achieved intermediate archery without difficulty. I am currently working on a mix of rapid fire and weakness detection. According to reports, I think I will succeed soon. He is a very talented person.”

“Isn’t that true?”

I chuckled.

Jenna is superior to me in terms of mere talent. I’m just using my knowledge of the game to get ahead little by little. He was a guy who could grow explosively at any time if there was an opportunity.

After half of the training was over, I immediately took Jenna out of group training.

In the first place, the level is not right to play in the same water as the recruits. Regardless of talent or skill, the experience on the battlefield was extraordinary. Every mission has been through hellish situations.

‘Was it 37 consecutive wins?’

37 wins 0 losses in 37 matches.

It was the sparring data that Jenna had with the recruits.

‘Even if I hadn’t ordered them, they would have been trained separately.’

And he would have been recruited to Niflheim semi-forcibly.

The hero currently guiding Jenna 1:1 is Nezel Rexna, who is ranked 13th.

He was the second-highest ranked archer after Nihaku. It would have been better if Nihaku did it himself, but he couldn’t be forced to call.

“If skill synthesis is successful, move on to the next task. Teach me skills related to traps.”

Nisled bowed and disappeared.

Only 4 days left. It is said that he himself is engaged in training day and night. That was enough. I headed to the garden to the left of Iron Mountain.

When we arrived at the center of the garden, Yurnet was drinking tea. Yurnet looked at me and lowered her eyes.

“What kind of palace are you?”

“Do you think he’ll die soon…”

“It’s not like we won’t see each other again.”

“Is that true?”

Yurnet rose from her seat.

“I’d like to stop by once before going to Earth.”

“…I didn’t mean that.”

Yurnet puffed her cheeks.

I smiled and sat down in the chair.

“So, are you done?”

“If it’s the thing you said, the job is done.”

Yurnet turned her expression back and said.

“You did well on your own. I thought you’d need my help.”

“Because I was making it before the master came. It was almost finished.”

Yurnet pulled out a small wooden box from her bosom.

The size is about to fit in the palm of your hand. When the wooden box was opened, the ring glowed black in the cushion. Yurnet took out the ring and held it up.

“Here, take it.”

I was given a ring

A plain black ring with no decorations.

As I whispered while holding it in one hand, a message came to mind.

[Proof of Fallen Heaven]

[Grade: SS]

[Legendary!]

[A ring made by specially processing star iron from Niflheim. It has the power to transcend the law. However, higher level magic is required to use it.]

[Notes – Special binding item. Ownership is not transferable. Indestructible.]

Yurnet explained.

“It’s a mark that represents the master. Even if you meet other members, you won’t have to worry about passing each other. Besides that…” [

If you’re wearing the ring, you can communicate with me no matter how far away you are.]

Yurnet’s voice echoed in my head . rang from

It seems to have a remote communication function as well.

“There’s no need to include that feature.”

I laughed bitterly.

What I wanted was simple. Hiding the master’s attention.

In the meantime, I have refrained from acting out of the hero because of Amkena’s gaze.

The biggest limitation was not being able to craft and enchant items. Thanks to that, I was still using the ‘well-forged steel sword’ I made in the early days. Even though there are enough materials to strengthen.

When I consulted Yunet about this, he said that there was a way and asked me to wait a bit.

It was possible to cheat the master’s control window.

‘Did they say it was because of the difference in interference power?’

I don’t know the exact principle, but it’s good if possible.

Various rare items that were not even touched are dormant in the warehouse. There are no restrictions at all, but the range of actions will be wider than before.

“Did you say you could ask the fairy?”

“Yes. This ring is enchanted with advanced information manipulation. Like this.”

Yurnet murmured, and a pitch-black light emanated from the ring.

The item window has been updated.

[Jet-black ring]

[Grade: C-]

[Magic!]

[It is made of low-quality black iron.]

[Note – Enchantment of ‘enhancing durability’ is applied.]

From SS grade to C- grade.

The information of the item changed in an instant.

“In addition to item information, it is possible to manipulate the status window and system log.”

“How long can I use it?”

“If the master of Taoneer enters the 50th floor or higher, the effect will decrease.”

“Right.”

It is natural that the difference in interference force decreases as the number of floors increases.

Still, if it was up to the 50th floor, there was enough room. It’s not that I can’t use it at all even if there is a limit.

I put the ring on my left index finger.

The ring fits just right.

“Good work. At this level, it would have been difficult to make it alone.”

“Compared to the master’s hard work.”

Yurnet smiled.

Eunet Cid was the strongest wizard in Niflheim and the best enchanter at the same time.

His skill level can be counted on one hand even after searching all the servers. Out of the hundreds of weapons I made, there were only a handful of equipment that hadn’t been touched by her. So now.

‘It’s the last one.’

The training goal has been achieved.

I sent Aaron to Muden, and Zena is getting stronger as well.

I also got an item that can deceive the master’s attention. Most of the goals I set were accomplished. But there was still one left.

I remembered the battle on the 20th floor.

The black dragon’s claws tore the shield like a piece of paper, and the longsword didn’t last long before it broke.

If no other party member had lent me a weapon, I would have died fighting with my bare hands.

‘I need a weapon.’

Not an ordinary weapon.

A monster capable of handling the monster’s strength.

Durable and unbreakable under any circumstances.

“Yurnet.”

“yes.”

“I want to borrow a weapon from Niflheim.”

Yurnet smiled and said.

“I will open the door to the armory.”

Yurnet beckoned, and mist gathered in the air.

The mist swirled and created a portal in the corner of the garden.

“Come this way.”

When I stood up from the chair, the tea and snacks on the table were scattered in mist.

Following the guidance of Yurnet, I set foot through the portal.

My vision darkened.

Yurnet snapped her fingers, and light spread and illuminated the room.

[Arsenal Lv.Max]

Hundreds of meters of vast space.

Various items are tightly packed in the showcase.

From basic weapons like sword spear ax bow to unique weapons like chain scythe serrated sword and oversized sword. One side of the wall was equipped with huge weapons such as cannons and ballistas for airships. I took out a sword from the display case.

[Top grade steel sword]

[Grade: B+]

[Excellent!]

[The highest grade steel and special manufacturing technology interlocked. It is light, sharp, and does not break easily even with various impacts.]

[Note – Brand: Niflheim]

A steel sword made by Niflheim.

I haven’t touched it, but it’s made of extremely high quality.

I raised my sword. His face was reflected in the transparent black surface.

“Master, such a low-level weapon does not suit the dignity of a master. Please come this way. To a place where more special weapons are prepared.”

I put down my sword.

Even if you take this, you won’t have to worry for a while. But what I want is a weapon that I can use until I graduate from the Tower. This was not enough.

I followed Yurnet.

The passage narrowed. As we reached the end of the road, we encountered a huge circular door.

‘It’s the entrance to the secondary arsenal.’

It is made of whole holy iron and does not get damaged even after dozens of shelling.

“I will open the door.”

Yurnet put her hand on the door.

A blue magic circle spread from the fingertips and covered the door.

“What’s here.”

“All must be S-rank or higher.”

“Yes. The true treasures of Niflheim, created by the Master himself, are on display.”

Gee.

The door began to slide aside.
